For more information see, http://dublincore.org/documents/dces/. Description An account of the resource The UB <em>Reporter</em> began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, <em>Colleague</em>, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

Description An account of the resource The UB <em>Reporter</em> began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, <em>Colleague</em>, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

Description An account of the resource The UB <em>Reporter</em> began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, <em>Colleague</em>, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

Universities, because they are committed to freedom of thougbt and a c t i o n, are particularly vulnerable to attack and we deplore the reckless determinetion of those few on aunpus who violate this privilege and who consciously seek to destroy one of democracy's fundamental institutions. We a1ao agree. however, that our response to such attacks, while firm and decisive, must be consistent with the spirit of a university and be respectful of human rigbm and democratic piocedures. We further recognize that unil/ersities must be willing to change in response to changing social needs.

For more information see, http://dublincore.org/documents/dces/. Description An account of the resource The UB <em>Reporter</em> began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, <em>Colleague</em>, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

Description An account of the resource The UB <em>Reporter</em> began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, <em>Colleague</em>, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

For more information see, http://dublincore.org/documents/dces/. Description An account of the resource The UB <em>Reporter</em> began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, <em>Colleague</em>, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

For more information see, http://dublincore.org/documents/dces/. Description An account of the resource The UB <em>Reporter</em> began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, <em>Colleague</em>, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

Description An account of the resource The UB <em>Reporter</em> began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, <em>Colleague</em>, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

Description An account of the resource The UB <em>Reporter</em> began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, <em>Colleague</em>, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

Description An account of the resource The UB <em>Reporter</em> began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, <em>Colleague</em>, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

Two men are &aSJgned just to open tbe autos ( t() disengage _..,. and hand brakes) , and to relock them after towing ( unless the locks need keys ).

Sometimes damage to an · auto is the regrettable resultespecially regrettable, because, with a litUe foresight on the part of the driver; the towing wouldn't be necessary. Two Iota, tbe student Med· Dent lot on Bailey and the Baird lot. .are cleared of snow early on gtorm nights. By 10:30 p.m. they are .ready for overnight parking. Loudspeakers are used at the dorms and at Norton. to remind gtudents to move their cars from wherever else they may be into these two "clearings." Unfortunately, not all studen~ beer the alarm; not all the late workers are in earshot of the summons; and sbme of the car owners are out of town. But if all would become aware of the system, the .main. tenahce officials say, things· would be easier all around. Maintenance is also really to provide special services to belp avoid the impersonal towing. U your car bas stalled in obe of the lots, a call to Mr. Sarra at 4739 am bring assistance. And if you expect to be out of town, Mr. Sarra will be happy to bold your keys and move the car in. the conventional manner if it is necessary.

THROUGHOUT THE SEMESTER . � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections. For more information see, http://dublincore.org/documents/dces/. Description An account of the resource The UB <em>Reporter</em> began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, <em>Colleague</em>, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

Description An account of the resource The UB <em>Reporter</em> began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, <em>Colleague</em>, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

For more information see, http://dublincore.org/documents/dces/. Description An account of the resource The UB <em>Reporter</em> began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, <em>Colleague</em>, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

For more information see, http://dublincore.org/documents/dces/. Description An account of the resource The UB <em>Reporter</em> began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, <em>Colleague</em>, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

For more information see, http://dublincore.org/documents/dces/. Description An account of the resource The UB <em>Reporter</em> began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, <em>Colleague</em>, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

For more information see, http://dublincore.org/documents/dces/. Description An account of the resource The UB <em>Reporter</em> began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, <em>Colleague</em>, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

Description An account of the resource The UB <em>Reporter</em> began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, <em>Colleague</em>, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

Vice President for Academic Affairs' Ronald Bunn refused to release the documents. He explained that under SED policy, information submitted to it was confidential. SED would make no comment sending The Spectrum back to the University administrators. by Elena Cacavas News Editor Review State notes graduate physics problems Vol. 30, No. 21 / A review last October by the State Education Department (SED) cited a number of deficiencies in 'UB’s doctoral Physics program—deficiencies which could spiral, although they are not expected to, into ther program’s cancellation. The shortcomings will be discussed by a “branch” of SED next week. According to Graduate Schddl Acting Dean Andrew Holt, A team was sent out last Fall on a routine review. It made Concerned with vitality recommendations to a rating committee, Which in turn, passed Holt said that the University was aware of the need for these on to a doctoral council.The council will eventually forward improvement in the doctoral program before SEd pointed it out, its conclusions to the Commissioner of Education. “but Chairman Akira Isihara has done a tremendous job in the Holt pointed out that the recommendations issued last Department in the past two years.” He added that the council Is November were not a warning. The Graduate Dean added that he waiting on its verdict—whether substantive measures are required for improvement—because it felt it hadnt had enough time to does not believe the program’s future is in jeopardy. “They asked for additional information,” he said; and they are evaluate Physics progress. now waiting for it. It is essential that they have a better Physics and Astronomy Department Chairman Isihara called the understanding of the Department’s progress.” SED recommendations “very constructive,” yet explained that on Mgi 22— But specifics'of the report are clouded by its inaccessibility. S(JNY at Buffalo distributed free to the University community / / 5 October 1979 limit one copy per person freshmen class entire Gener/ discussed, b ready on Ti The Gen Ed program is designed to provide students with a broadened education here. It will increase the “breadth” of a student’s study while it could limit “depth” in particular fields outside a student’s major. Silence fell in the opening minutes of the meeting when Executive Vice President Albert Somit informed the Senate that enrollment fell short by 450 students. Concern over this enrollment shortage was later reflected in many of the Senators’ comments. Sociology Chairman Constantine Yeraceris questioned how the skills component of the General Education Program—one math course and two writing courses for students who fail to demonstrate a certain ability on written tests—would “shift” enrollments between various departments. Specifically, the skills portion mandates that students reach a certain level of ability in math and writing before graduation. Others worried that the requirement would drive prospective students from attending UB. “Plainly put,” demanded Math Professor Nicholas D. Kazarinoff. “will these standards frighten students away from this University or will they not?” Vice President for Student Affairs Richard Siggelkow cautioned that as the number of college-age people slides in future years, University will draw students increasingly from . minorities women’s ranks. The skills discourage these potential students, he warned-. “I really want us to vote facing the spectre of reality,” he said. The Chairman of the General Education Committee Peter Hare defended the skills component, noting that the level of ability called for is not beyond undergraduate skills. To permit students to graduate without these skills, he said, would be “just recognizing certain fiscal problems and ignoring our educational component and may responsibility.” “Fiscal problems” surfaced not only in the form of enrollment shortfalls,' but also in the shape of enrollment surpluses. Although the skills component would rely on courses that already exist, thus avoiding the cost and technical hassles of designing new ones, many courses —particularly lower level math and English—are overcrowded. Hare said the Committee is not yet clear on how many students would be steered into the already bulging freshmen math courses. Former Dean of the Colleges Irving Spitzberg expressed the concern over this possible flooding. He noted that the University Learning Center, Inside: Who dunnit and who's buying—P. 7 / Prodigal Sun—P. 11 / have long that to delay Education Program—originally planned for 1980—could spell disaster. Undergraduate Dean John J. Peradotto, a member of the General Education Committee, told The Spectrum last Spring that a “delay would be the kiss of death.” The skills component has been viewed as a footin-the-door tactic; once that small section is in place the rest of the program will be saved from limbo. Faculty Senate Chairman Newton Garver, who throughout the meeting had urged Senators to “stick to the resolution,” pointed out that the rest of the program will be discussed at the November 6 meeting. Last spring, Garver reminded Senators the Senate voted to have the General Education Committee develop a basic skills component. “The question before us is, ‘Is he said. this a satisfactory development?’ Although the Senate could choose to adopt an amendment postponing the skills component, he said, the Senate could also approve it now and reevaluate it in November. The amendment to push the skills deadline back to Fall 1981 was defeated. Butthe two-hour debate over what is considered the simplest portion of the controversial program unveiled dark clouds on the horizon. Settling in—P. 19 ” • / Soccer—P. 21 �M 10% Discount for U.B.

Then, last May, UBF looked to January No footage cuts for the commercial development of the IS.6 acre parcel of land west of Lake LaSalle, between Clemens Hall and the Ellicott Complex, have been tossed around by UBF since 1976. For over three years at various times, UBF officials have maintained that construction will commence some time in the near future. Carter said Wednesday that UBF approved the “looks” of the store and its location, but the cost has yet to be - ; Think Spring He' added, however, that construction will still be dependent upon final cost calculations. Additionally, he said Albany has to approve the plans and estimated that negotiations and contracts should not be finalized much before mid-November. “We cannot break into the ground before next Spring,” Carter maintained. Carter told The Spectrum in Spring 1979 that everytime it seemed the project would get underway, either tax laws or interest rates or internal hesitation obstructed planning efforts. An April 1976 issue of the Reporter quoted Carter on a target date of September 1977 “for, occupancy of the shopping mall.” In August 1977, The Spectrum reported that UBF received a lease for construction from the State Division of the Budget and could thus “reopen negotiations with private developers.” At that time, Fall 1978 was looked towards as a possible, yet not optimistic, date for commercial designs The for the project—originally scheduled for completion as early as Fall 1977—are just now being submitted to a contractor for cost analysis. Plans for Parcel B have recurrently exploded in the face of its orchestrator, the University of Buffalo Foundation (UBF). However, according to UBF President John Carter, approval was recently passed on an artist’s conception of a $1 million bookstore —the first and major construction planned for that site. Carter, to According the bookstore—constructed by the Chicagobased Follett Corporation—is the key to progress. But complicated clauses in the lease, which was scheduled to be signed last June, tangled plans and delayed the green light for Parcel B construction. Follett’s contractual agreement was part of the deal which leased the UB bookstores to the corporation.

The original cost was estimated at about $40 per square foot, but, according to Carter, has by now far exceeded that. “But that has not affected a cut in the square footage of the bookstore,” he added. “Follett originally said it could use at least 20,000 square feet and planned to build an additional 5,000 at a later date.

Parker Editor-in-Chief reduce the number of returns and complicate the tabulation.” The faculty’s upcoming evaluation survey of University President Robert L. Ketter will not contain “secret coding” designed to identify who the respondents are. Faculty Senate Chairman Newton Carver told a Senate meeting Tuesday that any identification device—coding or numbers—is not “desirable or necessary.” Carver told The Spectrum that he was basically echoing the sentiments of the Senate’s Executive Committee which was charged to draft the evaluation presidential questionnaire. The October 3, 1979 Executive Committee minutes stated: this coding device is not necessary because the reception of faculty views will depend more on informal factors than on 4echnicalities or legalisms; not desirable, partly because such an attributability requirement was protested by the Senate and partly because such coding would “ . . . . . . Indispensible The Faculty’s decision to distribute the survey directly violates new SUNY Board of Trustees guidelines which preclude “nonattributable information” or polls and surveys from being used 'to evaluate a campus president. The new evaluation guidelines also call for a team of three presidents from outside the SUNY system to evaluate Ketter. Sources suggest that SUNY Chancellor Clifton R. Wharton, who has been in China for over a week, will select these three people today. Two weeks ago when the Senate voted to distribute an evaluation survey, Political * Science Professor Robert Stern believing that said, “. awareness of faculty sentiment is an indispensible element in any evaluation of a college or university president, the Faculty Senate recommends that the Executive Committee forthwith distribute to the Faculty the . . survey instrument This recommendation was forwarded to the Executive Commiitee which formed its own sub-committee to draft the questionnaire. This new committee, chaired by Sociology Professor Theodore Mills, was scheduled to present a draft at Wednesday’s Executive Committee meeting. But Tuesday, Mills explained that his committee was still revising a survey written early last Spring—prior to the Trustees’ changing of the guidelines. Mills admitted that “time is pressing” but he explained that the committee wants to carefully word the survey so it is “a meaningful document.” Garver also told the Senate that he might use the survey’s results as a source for faculty comments when he meets with the three-member evaluation team. The Chairman explained that he is meeting with groups and individual faculty members and if their comments are reflected SPEAK NO EVIL: Faculty Sanat* Chairman Nawton Carver Haft) and Executive Vico President Albert Somit appear to be Mating their lips to the SONY Trustees. to get around the requirement that all input be Codas identifying faculty attributable .for presidential evaluations ware abandoned at the Tuesday Faculty Senate meeting. — - by the survey’s findings, he may present the evaluation team with the documented information. However, said Carver, this footnote usag£ “does not preclude just submitting the whole survey.” The Executive Committee is currently considering pretesting the survey—an idea suggested by Sociology Professor Constantine Yeracaris. A pre-test would measure the survey’s validity before distributing it to all University faculty. Yeracaris had originally proposed delaying the motion to distribute the survey, but the faculty defeated his proposal with a.resounding “NO” vote on September 11 , Carver explained that pre-test is being considered because faculty want the survey to be “intellectually and academically respectable.” He said, “It was my understanding of the way in 5yj»ch the Executive Committee was moving that we would pre....! test the survey.” v ...... I v �* i SUNY students reap benefits of foreign exchange program UB’ers in Puerto Rico? Some students have found an alternative to Buffalo-based education. In conjunction with UB’s Puerto Rican Studies program and Council on International Studies, Students now have a chance not only to learn about a different culture, but to become totally immersed in it. Eight UB women are currently in San Juan, Puerto Rico, studying fields such as education, psychology and law. According to Professor Francisco Pabon, the Puerto Rican overseas program is designed around a single theme each year. Pabon, who shuttles between the mainland and Puerto Rico, explained that this year’s theme centers around women’s studies. “A woman can be a foreigner in her own country,” he said. This year’s effort is to relate feelings and anxieties of women here to those of. Puerto Rican women—through actual life experiences in the foreign culture. There are four overseas programs currently offered by UB, including ones in Grenoble. France, San Juan—and summer sessions in Israel and Salamanca, Spain. . - Administrator of the Overseas Academic Programs Dorothy Schaktman explained that each is directed by a faculty member assisted by a small advisory group. The entire operation is overseen by Director of the Council on International Studies Albert Michaels. The Grenoble and Puerto Rican programs select a new director every two years said Schaktman. She estimated that 50 students from UB are enrolled this semester, and as many a&75 to 100 partake during the summer. The goals of the UB overseas programs are basically echoed at other SUNY school?, Although each school has its own affiliations, students from one SUNY campus can attend a program sponsored by another SUNY institution. “The programs serve as a way of seeing oneself in a type of cultural mirror,” Pabon said, “so that not only does one learn about another environment, but his own as well.” Pabori believes the main drive behind a program’s success is a concerned faculty. “The staff of Puerto Rican Studies is a versatile group with broad credibility,” Pabon noted, At the end of each session, evaluations are conducted by both faculty and students. Said Schaktman, “I’ve seen very few negative reports—most are very positive.” When a student is involved in an overseas program, tuition is still paid directly to this University. SUNY pays the tuition abroad and the student meets transportation, room and board costs. —Laura Farr Bonfire Sigma Pi Epsilon fraternity is apomoriog a boafirt to kick off the homecoming weekend Friday, Oct, 5.

LUTHERAN CAMPUS MINISTRY Invitas You To Hoar FATHER MATTHEW GASKIN of Newman "THE CONTRIBUTION OF ROMAN TO CHRISTIANITY" Jane Keeler Room Writer The School of Dentistry, numbed by accreditation threats last May, got something to smile about recently as its junior class scored in the top five percent on the National Dental Board Examination. The exam, 'given in July, is required by the American Dental Association (ADA) as part of the licensing procedure. UB, which has always finished in the top 25 percent on the exam, had the best showing in its history, according to Dean William Feagans. “We have to be one of the top three schools in the nation,” Feagans happily added. The exam is the first part of a test to be completed in the students’ senior year. Part I covers anatomical sciences, biochemistry, physiology, microbiology/pathology and dental anatomy. The UB class’ total average in the four subject areas was 90.27, 'more than five points above the national average, Feagans said. 90 percent of the class scored above the national average, he added, and 60 percent had scores of 90 or higher. Feagans can only assume that UB is among the top three since the scores of the other S9 dental schools are not made availably to anyone. According to Associate Dean Richard A. Powell, each school receives its score and its ranking by quartile (groupings of 25 percent), but .never its exact position. The school is also given a code number, which is kept from other schools. “It’s not as if they tell us, say, how Harvard or Michigan did,” added Powell. “1 guess we could figure it out, if we wanted.” The school has never initiated any type of “decoding” procedure to discover other schools* scores, he noted. “conditional accreditation.’* The school recently submitted a three year plan, based on the team’s recommendations, to SUNY and Chancellor Clifton R. Wharton. The conditional accreditation included a two year probationary period in which to correct deficiencies or lose accreditation altogether. The group’s report called for a program of systematic equipment replacement and immediate correction of inadequate lighting, space and ventialation in the pre-clinical labs. In June, Feagans told The Spectrum that the equipment being used dates back, to the late 1940’s. “We have been cannibilizing our own units to keep them operating,’’ he explained. After news of the Dental School’s plight hit the papers. Western New York representatives scurried for .additional funds and, more importantly, increased allocation in upcoming years. “Frankly, it’s really out of our hands now,” sighed Feagans. The other sore spot for the Dental School this summer was the Truth in Testing Law, which takes effect on January 1, 1980. The law, which requires testers to reveal questions and answers on all standardized tests throughout New York State, spurred both the ADA and the American Medical Association to halt distribution of their tests within State lines. Since the law does not apply to licensing exams, however, the ADA will continue to give the National Dental Boards. Without the standardized Dental Admissions test in 1980, UB will refer to Grade Point Averages, Scholastic Aptitude Tests (SAT), letters of recommendation and some kind of procedure to assess manual dexterity in order to select candidates for admission to the school, reported Feagans. The new law allows for students to review questions on tests they already have taken. Three year plan The Junior Class’ showing is a bright spot in an otherwise dismal year for the Dental School. Long time fears were realized in May when an ADA accreditation team dropped tye school’s standing one notch, thus according it a “Becasue the test has such a small band of questions,” reasoned Powell, “a revealing of the questions would make it worthless.” The school will substitute the many-part evaluation, listed above, for next year only. “We are in a holding pattern,” after that, commented Feagans. ymz /^N OLD FASHIONED W% I' H Buffalo Philharmonic 50% OFF Subscribe Now For All Symphony Series CATHOLICISM Sunday Oct. 7 at 10:30 am Stuff Call 885-5000 • p*c i * , tor further information ... j i 01 �\ | : Buffalo State planetarium needs renovation z funds by Michael Degraw | Spectrum Stqff Writer Reconstruction of Buffalo State College’s Planetarium, ravaged by fire last November, is expected to be finished by January. SUNY and Buffalo State funds will have to make up the bulk ofrestoration expenses as SUNY’s insurance company will only pay for reconstruction costs amassed after $100,000 is paid. The fire is believed to have begun in a standard 35mm slide projector. Due to the severity of the damage, it has not been proved conclusively if the fire’s cause was a short circuit or a failure in the cooling process. Efforts by Buffalo State students, faculty, alumni and staff.to aid the reconstruction have resulted in “Stardeed,” a fund raising program that has already netted $4000. Anyone contributing receives a half price ticket for planetarium shows during the next two years. Buffalo State Vice President for Finance and Management Janies Caputi explained why funding activities are necessary. “The insurance on the planetarium is a $100,000 deductible policy, where Buffalo Stntc or the SUNY system has to come up with the $100,OuO, and then the insurance company would have to come up with the balance.” However, maintained Caputi, the balance is not coming quickly from the company. The total amount of the claim is still in litigation, as some of the equipment purchased originally costs more to replace now than 16 years ago. Caputi claimed the reason for the high deductible policy is “you would pay more in premiums than you would in repair.” Lack of precantioi According Orgren, there ' out the fire, the water damage almost equalled that done by the fire. Orgren blamed the oid alarm system for the resulting damage, claiming it “was ridiculous and inadequate. By the time the old alarm went off, the fire had been going for several minutes.” When a security officer responded to the alarm and opened the planetarium door, Orgren said the smoke was too thick to do anything. Orgren mentioned that along with a new alarm system, bought with funds, he would like to have a fire, smoke and heat detection unit. Other precautions include fire retardent material, steel fire doors and heat sensors. Orgren maintained a new dome will be constructed by the end of the month. With the help of SUNY’s allocations, other renovations will include a completely new interior, wall coverings, carpeting, seats and wiring. Once the Planetarium is completed early next year, shows open to the public will be held each weekend Astror planetarium. Campus setting gives a false sense of security Is it safe to walk down Main Street late at night? Can students feel confident about keeping their bicycles locked on campus? Can dorm rooms be left open, even if only for a few minutes? According to Director of University Police Lee Griffin, “Students are living in a safe community.” Nevertheless, crime does occur. On September 20, Kevin Johnson, a 20 year-old non-student from Buffalo, was arrested in Ellicott’s Fargo Quad. Johnson was spotted by University Police with a bag of marijuana. He later was charged with the robberies of seven rooms—in a span of two and one-half hours—in the Ellicott Complex. Total property loss was valued at $900 in addition to $140 in cash. “The basic problem in the dorms is that kids leave their doors unlocked,” claimed Griffin. In the early morning hours students go to the bathroom or take showers and leave their doors open. He maintained that early morning hours is when many burglaries occur. Dormitory crimes also happen late at night, with the Ellicott dorms being the most frequented target. Griffin attributed this to the largeness of the complex and people’s ability to easily r “disappear” in a large crowd. Early evening busy The number of crinles has reportedly gone up this semester in relation to last year. Griffin said the increase in national crime could be reflective of crime activity on campus. Griffin also noted that the burglary rate goes up toward the end of the semester, due to students running out of funds and money. University Police answer various calls involving fire alarms, petty larceny, criminal mischief and burglary. The busiest security shift occurs from 3 p.m. to 11 p.m. A monthly computerized report tells University Police where past crimes occurred—in which building and specifically on what floor. The Department looks for possible trends evident from these reports. In case of emergency University Police can be reached by dialing 636-2222 or 831-2222. Use it. Occurrence of dorm false fires furthers cause for more alarm by Norman Levine Spectrum Stuff Writer Over 90 percent of last year’s 416 fire alarms at this University were false, according to the Department of Public Safety. Of all alarms pulled, 10 percent were at the Wilkeson Quadrangle in the Ellicott Complex. Director of Public Safety Lee Griffin explained that false alarms come primarily from the dorm areas, sometimes triggered by students cooking, but often by uncaring students who don’t realize the trouble they were causing. “Although the amount of time when a fire box goes off to when a UB patrolman is at the spot is only three to four minutes,” Griffin said, “the followup work and reports to be filled out are very time consuming.” In the Fall 1978 Semester there were 51 false alarms, and a total of 60 during the Spring. Of those, only three arrests resulted,while another student was brought before the Student Wide Judiciary. There is no set penalty for triggering a false alarm. Punishment can be as stiff as a $500 fine and a weekend in jail, however, the normal fine is Any Undergraduate Student interested in the position of Director of Elections and Credentials should pick up an application in the Student Association Office (III Talbert Halt Amherst Campus) $250. “The primary concern when responding to an alarm is always human life,” said the Technical Specialist to UB Police Corky Brun Skill. He added that, “Getting away with pulling a false alarm is not as easy as it sounds. People who pull false alarms have no regard for their peers or the community.” Any fire alarm at the Main Street Campus is automatically answered by the Buffalo Fire Department. However, this is not the case at the Amherst or Ridge Lea Campuses. At these campuses the signal is sent to both Public Safety and the Amherst Fire ControJ Center, a voluntary organization. According to University officials, the Center will not call any firemen tu the scene until confirmation of the fire is established by a UB patrolman. Griffin noted that there seems to be a stereotype for the person who is likely to turn in a false alarm. “The person is probably a middle class white from a good neighborhood and raised in a decent house,” he explained. “Most likely he is under the influence of alcohol and is feeling his beer muscles.” In cases where the fire is actual but suspicious, Public Safety Officer Dan Jay—specially trained in arsop investigation—is brought to the scene. Any available evidence is brought back to a lab to be analyzed for possible clues. In 1978, there was a serious case of arson in the Red Jacket Quad on the Amherst Campus. Two UB students were hurt, a fireman severly cut his hand, and $2500 worth of personal property was damaged. FOREWARNED IS FORECOPIED!

DeSantis claims that the Courier’s figure is high. He said that the opened offices here do seem confident the paintings, which are from the Currier and Ives series, are not valued at more than $50 each. The story is further muddled by the Courier’s examination of a missing books file on the fourth floor of Capen Hall. Farina reported that it lists 204 missing volumes worth more than $3000, but DeSantis said the file is more than 10 years old and “inoperable.” Farina said that the University has changed its story ! and not only do they now claim the file is 35 years old, but that part of the missing special collection is recorded there. DeSantis said that the file contains index cards of books the University may or may not have ever had—but it is in no way i related to the rare book thefts. He said, “The Courier has reached i a new high in errors per column inch.” Special to The Spectrum University calls report in ‘Courier’ inaccurate’ [ROffni's’] I■ Still unpacked? But Farina asserted his accuracy, saying the catalogue was labeled “missing books” and the University claimed it was mislabeled by a student worker. He wrote, “When asked if all the books in the file could not be accounted for, DeSantis replied that he could not be sure.” To date, the University has not been able to identify if other books are missing from its special collection. DeSantis explained that Thursday the Courier was using a new figure—61 missing books. He said that nine have already been recovered and the University is conducting an inventory to see if more arc still missing. ' If more items are discovered to be misplaced, DeSantis believes that they will probably be found in boxes that are still unpacked. He said, “The DEA has not told us if they have more items belonging to the University.” Farina, on the other hand, maintains that the University supplied him with the ‘<61 missing books” number. He said that other sources have told him that more than nine books are missing—and the number has been unconfirmed. j I Wing N Thins One table order ef Chicken Wings FREE I J with tha purchase of a doubla.

Ms. Holtzman Is actually codslderfng running for a position In the United States Senate. If the SUNY Trustees think they can ignore campus sentiment in evaluating UB President Robert L. Ketter, then they're making a mistake. If they think that by circumventing student input along with other constituent that students will sit passively while an outside team evaluates Ketter, then they're making a bigger mistake. - — The call for a referendum on whether President Ketter commands the confidence of studnets here is one way that students will voice their opinion. If the Trustees think that just because new evaluation guidelines preclude the use of opinion polls, surveys and referendums that a student verdict can be ignored they are again mistaken. The students' findings will have an impact on the University community, the evaluators (perhaps), the Buffalo community, and Albany's perception of Ketter. This was demonstrated by a student/faculty vote at SUNY Stony Brook, where they condemned the local University Council's recommendation of T.A. Pond as President. Now the ballgame has changed, and the local campus council is also limited in its say, but the t message is clear; Students and faculty will not be ignored, evaluation way the new in challenging The Faculty here lead the being currently survey a which is They distributing are guidelines. drafted. Senate Chairman Newton Carver has said that he will use the results as footnotes to accompany his report on faculty sentiment to the evaluators. He noted this does not preclude presenting the total survey. But it does not ensure it either. The Senate should mandate that Carver present the results in full to the outside team. Both students and faculty should be encouraged to respond to their respective surveys. The credibility of both will probably rest on the number of respondents. The credibility of any decision pertaining will rest on the whether he continues or not to vKetter's status extent campus input is considered. — — — — Significant step Listen to WRUB The Faculty Senate's passage of the College -SKills portion of a Gen Ed plan is a significant first step. Failure to approve the College Skills requirement could have thrown the full Gen Ed package into jeopardy. Too many students here, and throughout the country, are graduating high school and college lacking the ability to write a coherent composition or perform basic mathematical functions. Remember the article, "Why Johnny can't read," pointing to the increasing number of semi-literate high school grads? Faculty here and rightly so believe that students graduating UB should have reached certain minimum levels of skill in both math and writing. The College Skills program is necessary because it ensures that students must either pass an exemption test or take the required courses. The Senate has now passed through the first part of its Gen Ed program. The remaining portions are much more complex and far-reaching. When these are discussed at the next Senate meeting, there should be many questions but one central one; Is the program in the best educational interests of students?

The writer thought he found it once—far from Main/Bailey, farther from now—on the salt flats of Utah, as he was unrolling his sleeping bag next to the road. It was night, again.

Unencumbered by any obligation to make hard choices and tradeoffs, indeed blissfully unaware that such things exist in the real world, Professor Wolf proceeds to rail against our creeping Phlistlnism as orchestrated by denizens of the vinyl tower atop Capen Hall. The quality of his Imagery and rhetoric notwithstanding, or perhaps because of It, your readers’ attention should be called to some of his unspoken assumptions. First, a factual correction. The 17/1 facultystudent ratio of which Professor Wolf speaks was not created out of whole cloth by offlcials'of this University. The reality is that the State operates on the quaint notion that funding support for the University should bear some relationship to the number of students It educates. The precise ratio may well be arbitrary, but It is not contrived here. The University can, and does, often argue that a smaller ratio Is warranted to ensure the excellence we all want, but If the argument does not prevail, we simply have to live within our budget. Pace: Professor Wolf. Given that we are educating (okay, Professor Wolf, training— have it your way) fewer students than before, the State seems to think we should be doing It with fewer faculty. Professor Wolf, quite understandably, wants these remaining students taught by faculty in the arts and sciences. So do I, as a matter of fact. The students themselves, however, apparently disagree. That leaves us with the questions which Professor Wolf deigns not to answer: What do we do? Force students to major in the humanities, perhaps by lottery? What do we do when they go elsewhere? Please, Professor Wolf, use your gifted pen to convince the State that student choices should not be a factor in determining where the University puts its resources, and that if students make the wrong choices, we must subsidize the programs they To the Editor opt against at the expense of the programs they opt for. What is a right and wrong choice, of course, is an objective matter brooking no debate. It is true that the State has not (yet) specified where we must make our cuts. But the assertion that the selections here were based on the administration’s “managerial-corporate goals’’ is at best naive and at worst mischievous. In Professor Wolf’s curious death-wish, the administration’s “preference for numbers over ideas” should be replaced by a strategy which would preserve neither. What does Professor Wolf think would have happened if the cuts had not been made In Arts and Letters? If they had been made In the areas to which students are now attracted, there would be still fewer students at the University, and the State would proceed to exact another couple of pounds of flesh. Where would the new cuts'be made then? Would the process be repeated until we have nothing left but a Faculty of Arts and Letters roaming through empty buildings? Arts and Letters was told to "serve up” 12 lines, not through a conspiratorial vendetta against the Humanities, but because, quite simply, Arts and Letters has become overstaffed. And despite Professor Wolf’s graphic reference to a bloodbath, the fact is that the redistribution of faculty lines within the University has not, repeat not, kept pace with shifts in student interests. So when Professor Wolf talks about a “failure of value and historical vision" In the administration’s support of “narrow professionalism, career training, and corporate style,” he should be asked to produce the evidence for these assertions. From all I have discerned, there are many “Philistines" in Capen Hall who actually worry about humanistic values at this University, and it does show up in their budgetary allocations. Unfortunately, they will have to live without Professor Wolf’s gratitude, or even his help, as they worry about other things as well and grapple-with a no-win situation. Sincerely, Howard G. Foster Associate Dean Altruistic To the Editor: Re: Dr. Wolf’s “Commentary” in Friday’s paper I would like to know if his major concern is maintaining the quality of the education offered to students by Arts & Letters, or maintaining his ... salary and prestige? Someone once told me altruism doesn’t exist anyniore (academically or otherwise). r Name withheld upon request As a resident of the “vinyl tower,” I found Professor Wolf’s "Commentary" In last Friday’s The Spectrum extremely thought provoking. I believe I share Professor Wolf’s concern for “interstellar realities at the end of the twentieth century”, and I certainly abhor the fiscal Philistinism which has led to bloodbaths In the Arts and Letters. I am disgusted at the sight of my bloated colleagues who have sated (for the time being) their blood lust by gorging upon the flesh of humane letters. Educational Studies and the Social Sciences. Is it any wonder that my Dean wanders the corridors of Crosby Hall in the dead of night constantly washing his hands? What Is to be done about this appalling state of affairs? What steps can our (once) great university take to assure diversity and to lead us from the darkness of applied science and narrow mercentllism to the sweet light of the sacred and liberal arts? Professor Wolf correctly identifies the central problem when he asks how can we compare the worth of one graduate student of Chinese history and language against 100 (boorish) accountants. Obviously, since there Is no way to make this comparison (unless one Is foolishly willing to accept the base signals of the “job market”), the only sensible approach Is to institute procedures to guarantee that the University will produce equal numbers of (1) liberal arts scholars and (2) mere technicians and drab trade practitioners. Toward this end, I offer the following proposal: for every student accepted Into the undergraduate or graduate programs in Management, Engineering or the Natural Sciences, another student be selected, at random, from the applicants to these areas and "persuaded” to enter the program in Arts and Letters. The student so selected will have no choice of major nor will he (no women, of course) be granted any right of appeal. Reasonable force will be used to ensure matriculation, and the selected student will not be permitted to leave campus until he has completed all degree requirements. Certainly, all reasonable and right thinking men and women can support this innovative approach , to the problems we fape, Its implementation will bring to a halt the carnage Professor Wolf so accurately describes and hasten the attainment of the democratic, progressive and enlightened University that we all seek.

Professor of Fiduciary Skills School of Management �o 1 more feedback One big gulag m r Subversive politics s To th» Editor Oi To tire Editor: The true nature of the so-called “Right to Life Party” is revealed in Its effort to extort political loyalty from area politicians In return for an endorsement and a handful of votes. Their attempts to get the candidates for Erie County Executive to sign a binding—and clearly illegal—pledge to purge the Erie-Niagara Regional Planning Board of those who have other views and to“completety revamp or dissolve” the Eire County Family Planning Community Advisory Board is totally at odds with our political traditions. This move by the “Right to Life Party” is a calculated and manipulative act of duplicity that Is subversive of this country's electoral process. In addition to the pledge required of the candidates for County Executive, the “Right to Life Party” requires all candidates they endorse to support passage of a proposed Constitutional Amendment which would outlaw all abortions, whatever the circumstances. According to the anti-abortion movement’s own claims, this amendment would most likely outlaw the birth control pill and IUD, the two most widely used methods of contraception in this country. While these methods leave much to be desired in terms of effectiveness and health, loss of them—and of the right to a safe and legal abortion—would condemn American women to a condition of compulsory pregnancy. Passage of this amendment—the overriding goal of the “Right to Life Party”—would make the U.S. the first western nation since Nazi Germany to outlaw abortions and subject the reproductive freedom of women to the police powers of the goverment. It would also not stop abortions! prior to the legalization of abortion, an estimated one million-American women had illegal abortions each year. Hundreds died and tens of thousands were maimed annually.

In any event, I still hoped for the best concerning their handling of the severe rains (Friday, Sept. 14) spurned by Hurricane Frederick. I realize now that the cancelling of classes earlier in the day would be too much to ask. After all, Buffalo public and parochial schools were closed, as were Medaitle College and Erie Community College. Numerbus county and city roads were impassable and the Town of Amherst imposed a driving ban (circa 9:15 a.m.). And the weather forecasters predicted rain until late in the afternoon. I wonder what the criteria would have been for an earlier than 12:10 decision? Maybe a thirty foot tidal wave, or possibly a little more common sense. Once again, consideration for more than onehalf of this University’s population, albeit commuters, was lacking. I can’t wait till the snow flies. Joe Moreno Commuter Affairs Cpuncll Democratic candidate for County Executive Frank McGuire, and the other area politicians who have received or sought the “Right to Life Party” endorsement, have sold out their constituencies before even being elected for a party that has only 90 registered members statewide and that received less than 3 percent of the vote In the last gubernatorial race. Contrast this with the fact that the latest national polls show that 78 percent of the American people support abortion rights. Such self-serving opportunism on the part of politicians is unfortunately nothing new in this country—but more than ever It indicates that these candidates lack both the flexibility and maturity of judgement to be at all effective in dealing with any complex issues that might arise In their terms of office. It also shows that they have, in allowing themselves to be used by the right wing, not only lined themselves up against the real Interests of American women, but against organized labor, minorities, and the poor and working people of this country as well.

While the “Right to Life Party” likes to portray itself as being concerned only with abortion, their consistent opposition to family planning and birth control, which serve to reduce the need for abortions, makes It apparent that one of their goals is to impose their simplistic morality on all of us. But it is not only morality that is at stake, it is political power. Why else would they endorse candidates for offices ranging from the Highway Supervisor of Amherst to Assessor of the Town of Brant? There is an Increasingly well-documented body of evidence on the links between the antiabortion movement and the right wing in our country. Even in Erie County, these links exist. Lillian Tepley, the local head of the “Right to Life Party,” also heads the local chapter of the ultraconservative Eagle Forum. This group, which calls Itself “the alternative to women’s lib,” has interlocking ties with groups such as the John Birch Society, the American Conservative Union and the National Right to Work Committee which seek to turn back the clock to a point just this side of the middle ages. The right wing is using the issue of abortion as the cutting edge of a sophisticated and well-bankrolled electoral strategy that manipulates highly emotional single issues to gfve them the votes they cannot QjlJiWm. „ * Would SALT II give us peace and stability?

Cocola According to Monty Python, during the time of Jesus Christ there allegedly lived a man named Briah Cohen. Brian was a rather unassuming man, dominated by his mother, he had no sense of his destiny, willfully engaging in carnal activities when the situation presented itself. In short, his character is in rnpny to the generally accepted Christian conception of Jesus Christ. So why all the fanfare over The Life of Brian, a new Monty Python movie , ■> featuring Graham Chapman as Brian? This film isn't" blasphemous: it is a very funny movie, just a notch below the group's comedic epic of four years ago, Monty Python and the Holy Cjail. The reason for the movie's controversy cart be attributed to one small, ironic point; Brian is cdnfronted with many of the same obstacles Christ encountered during His lifetime. Yet, while Christ handled His situations in saintly style, Brian seems to be overwhelmed ,by what can best be described as absurd, Pythonian circumstances. For example, Brian is introduced to a Pontious Pilate with a "Baba Walters" speech impediment, and an ex-leper who is mad because Christ cured him, ruining his begging business. Blow for individualism There are other scenes of absurdity. After joining the People's Front of Judea (or the PFJ), Brian is ordered to splatter "Romans go home" in Latin ort a Roman building. Brian obeys his orders, but is caught by a Roman centurion. The centurion grabs our hero and yanks him by the hair and earfTiot because Brian has done something wrong, but because Brian's Latin is gramatically incorrect. The two review the present indicative conjugation of the word "go" and as punishment, the centurian has Brian write "Romans go home" on the wall one hundred times. The Python group brilliantly ridicules the conventions of this Biblical era. The film is unique in that even the crucifixion scene is funny, thanks to a song written and performed by the most recognizable member of the Python crew, Eric Idle. The only people severely satirized in The Life of Brian are those that believe Brian is their Messiah. There are many scenes in the movie that depict the group as nonindividualistic and sheep-like. The most outstanding example ironically occurs after Brian has had sex with a woman. Brian pops out of* bed, opens the shutteis, and stands nude before his followers. He tells them (among other things), that he is not their messiah, and-that they should act more like individuals. Their response is a communal one: "Yes, we are individuals."

The Python group seems to be telling us again that life is absurd and irrelevant, whether in the times of Jesus Christ, the medieval era, or to.day. The Pythorf grtSup also expresses here that organized religious followings can reduce an individual to little more than-an insignificant member of an admiring mob If this idea seems disturbing, sooth your conscience by considering the antithesis of this satiric point: a religious group can further enhance your love of Cod by subjecting you to a communal, brotherly sense of loving—a serts£ of, loving just as important as a love for cod Believing the thesis or antithesis of this satire is entirely up to thejndividual.

While he states that Jazz "cannot be analyzed with the tools of Western musical theory," his own analysis tends to ride or ridicule on the overworked Western concept of objectivity. While such aloofness may be handy for limited examination, what is negated is the long range emotional context from which this Music derives. As the text reveals, detachment can engender hindsightedness the equal of any overemotionalism, neither of which are useful here. Collier's section on Duke Ellington gives a firm portrayal of the Duke's diplomatic tenacities, but otherwise falls into too many of the stereotypical critic responses; a prime example of the latter being Collier's dubious declaration that Ellington's concert pieces and Sacred Concerts "do not succeed as Jazz." Ross Russell's Bird Lives, one of the most hyper-fictionalized works to be called a biography, is labeled a first rate jazz book? A gross over-simplification is the belief that, before Jazz's "cool school," "contemplative tranquility has never been a major mood in jazz, a music generally devoted to more rambunctious passions." Such a concept apparently does not consider the vast Ellington legacy of balladry, among others, to be little more than a minimal departure from the enforced typecast of jump, bump and hump. It's startling to see that some people still refuse to see the difference between limitation and the intuitive selectivity that is Miles' to command. The impeccable nature of the selectivity shared by Miles and Thelonious Monk is noted, but the equally vital (and obvious) sharing of tonal attacks by Lester Young and Miles is totally ignored. 1 Collier's observations'of Jazz's last few decades are extremely incomplete. Highly influential, yet little publicized, artists are virtually overlooked. No mention of pianist/composer Randy Weston, whose use of African rhythm and waltz time has caught the fire of many a listener and fellow musician since the 50's. No mention of pianist Wynton Kelly, the nimble groovemaker whose shgrp rhythmic attack is far more evident in Herbie Hancock's acoustic work than the widely acknowledged Bill Evans influences. In fact. Collier's overall failure to acknowledge the varied non-fusion (and, from his point of view, non-"avant garde") masters of the last two decades is inexcusable. For instance; with the brief exceptions of Freddie Hubbard and Donald Ayler, there is little insight on the more recent trumpet masters. No mention at all of the cooking Lee Morgan, Alan Shorter, the ever-increasing influence of Lester Bowie and Woody Shaw, or the seminal Booker Little (an influence on virtually all the aforementioned trumpeters, and all Jazz). Extremely poor is the pseudo-intellectualisms marking the breadth of Collier's observations of the "free jazz" 60's, a period which has seen more than its share of hindsighted analysis (intentional and otherwise). Seeking to cooly analyze what he feels is a certain recklessness of the times, Collier's end result is an overbearing carefulness which is flagrantly antiseptic and equally reckless; at the 1 worst, he can be dangerously pretentious. His chapter on John Coltrane, while refreshingly making the point that Coltrane is not a stone god for idolworshipping, wastes too much time in an inappropriate hypothesis seeking to show the "relationships" between Coltrane's nutritional "excesses" and his Music; thus ignoring the always balanced (and, let's get to it, humanly inspiring ) nature of Coltrane's Music, even at its fiercest > intensities. The treatment of Eric Dolphy's overall Jazz impact ("free" or whatever) is non sequitur. Plain ridiculous. There is absolutely no mention of the groundbreaking vocalists Jeanne Lee and Leon Thomas, whose work is opening roads for instrumentalists and vocalists alike. The one paragraph on Sun Ra Is vague, misleading, and —at least one point—totally untrue (Ra worked with Fletcher Henderson, not Earl Hines). Collier really fails to research the Astral Bluesman at all, and virtually says so but not before some fatuous (though familiar) comments are made (like Ra's Arkestra "playing freely much of the time"). Besides the long range influence that Ra has wielded in Music and musical costumery. Collier's one album analysis of Sun Ra's career fails to account for an individual who performs in all the Jazz traditions (among others), has done so for a long time, and continues to do so with excellence. The simple extension and upgrading Ra has made of old Black Minstrelry also goes unnoticed by Collier (though Collier mentions minstrelry earlier in' the text). The author could have spared himself such a gratuitous display of ignorance by following up his own advice (at paragraph's end) and having someone competent write in this area. The section on Cecil Taylor falls into the same tripe of many critics (pro or con), in. citing Taylor's "great" dependence on "modern" European forms, rather than Taylor's total command of all World Musics (Afro American, Far Eastern, European and otherwise) that conjures his own lyricism—a lyricism that draws its njain essence from exploratory Blues and timeless drum ritual. On page 497, Collier states; "As jazz has advanced, it has frequently discarded the valuable as well as the useless. There are things in the older forms worth exploring." A well-taken point to investigate, no doubt. Yet what is perhaps Collier's most-glaring oversight in the entire text is his complete failure to talk on the widely-influential Association for the Advancement of Creative Music (AACM)—an organization which has contributed vastly to an increased appreciation and usage of all musical traditions, old and new. Collier's failure to note even the AACM's most famous members —Jack Dejohnette, The Art Ensemble of Chicago and the embryonic Anthony Braxton —heightens the degre of such gross negligence. Covering the complete topic may require another text. To summarize for now (especially on Collier's “free jazz" opinionations), Collier seems to suffler from a constant penchant for contradiction. While seeking to point out the race discrimination found too often on all sides of the Jazz legacy, Collier wastes too much time calling up (or inferring to) long-abusive prejudices concerning this Music; for example, concerning the 60's Jazz developments, the opinions imparted by Collier are 1) the 60's developments were predominantly random noise, and 2) many "free jazzers" went around kidnapping audiences, or demanded audiences in "artistic fascism" (ever notice how rich Cecil xTaylor and Ra are from such supposed "kidnapping" practices?). Such opinions border on the worst type of simple mindedness. Artistic integrity, an intrepidness of extending onesself and one's traditions to entertain thought, is what merits an audience, whatever the motives of some self-proclaimed Watchguardians of "the people." Certainly, there are always no-bit hustlers trying to cash in on cheap thrills, whatever the trappings. Surely the difference between entertaining artistry—whatever shape it chooses —and the syndromes which monopolize the media waves can be cited by a reviewer without belaboring the obvious, resorting to exaggeration, or incessantly catering to well-spread dogma (pg 477, on free jazz; "the first thing the Lord did was not to pronounce freedom, but to make an ordered universe out of chaos." Bring on the Inquisitors!"). Such practices can be quite sdlf-defeating The Making of Jazz represents a whole tradition of well versed, yet scanty, documentation; one which Collier ironically touches on at the text's beginning: "Obviously, jazz operates on principles of its own; it simply cannot be understood from a European vantage point." Whether the latter portion of this statement is as obvious as Colliec, supposes—or wishes, perhaps —is another matter. The matter is that there was the one line that, for Collier, should have been a warning; his own best intentions. �I Barth's '7-in-1' fiction John Barth's seventh work of fiction, Letters (no need to say this is Barth's "first hovel since Giles Goat Boy. Barth is a fictionist a la Borges, not a novelist a la Blank), has arrived at last. Letters is a terrific book: at various times amusing, beatific, concise (and/but complex), delightful, earnest, effervescent, evangelical, voracious, wild and witty, xenolithic, Yankee Doodlish, zymofic. There are seven letters in the word "letters," and there are seven letter-writers in Letters, which bills itself in subtitle as "An Old ." Do, re, mi, fa, Time Epistolary Novel so, la and ti are seven dwarfish words, the notes we make our music with. There are 88 keys on a piano, and there are 88 letters in Letters, as musical a fiction as one might imagine. The fictive present of Letters is 1969 (the letters which make it up span March-September: seven months), at which time Mr. Barth had five fictions already in print: The Floating Opera, The End of the Road, The Sot-Weed Factor, Giles Coat Boy, and Lost in the Funhouse The seven letter writers in Letters are either characters from, or descendants of characters from, each of 'Barth's first five books, one from each fiction: Todd Andrews, Jacob Horner, A.B Cook VI, Jerome Bonaparte Bray, Ambrose Mensch, Plus a character new with Letters, Lady Amherst nee Germaine C. Pitt., Plus a version of Barth himself, The Author, presumably the same "Barth" who appeared in Chimera, Mr Barth's sixth fiction "He do the police in different voices," which belonged to was the first title of what came to be The Waste Land. At the very mid-point of Letters. Lady Amherst writes, "And none of this, in my opinion, meant anything more than that the world is richer in associations than in meanings, and that it is the part of wisdom to distinguish between the two." Barth is always wise enough to so distinguish; Letters has associations a-plenty. Meanings, we know, are made things, are fictions. Letters recapitulates the whole of Barth's oeuvre, just as (a saying he alludes to more than once) Ontogeny recapitulates Phytogeny. It would seem ludicrous to claim that Barth had Letters already firmly in mind when, 25 years ago, he published his first novel, The Floating Opera. And yet reading Letters, such a situation comes to seem as though it could well have been so Letters recapitulates, recaps, reconnects, reforms, reintegrates, repatterns, retells, reworks, each of the five fictions Barth —up to the time of Letters' fictive present, remember: 1969-shad previously published Letters, as well, projects forward to Barth's sixth fiction, Chimera, and is, of course, his seventh fiction. r liieran The structore of Letters is more difficult than the "plot" of tlje fiction. The key letter in Letters with regard to the question of structure is Ambrose Mensch's to the Author, which comes in the sixth section of Letters and outlines Ambrose's'"abandoned Perseus story Ambrose proposes a seven-part fiction: the first five sections lay the groundwork and provide the rising action; the sixth section provides the "climax" through which the first five sections can be more sharply viewed, the seventh section provides the denouement. The "joke" here is that Chimera, being sixth, should be —following the formula —the "climax" of Barth's work to date, while Letters, being seventh, should function as denouement. But Barth, as far as the fictive present goes, places Letters sixth, by "setting" it in 1969. Barth is thus able not only, in Letters, to refashion so to speak, his first five fictions, but is able to refashion as well his last (to date) two fictions: Chimera through "erasure," Letters itself through a displacement in time. Barth as always, has left no possible twist untwisted; his is no baggy monster Mr Barth is one of the few, the very few, living American writers whose work immediately inserts itself into the canort of the literary to summarize 'Letters' accomplishments One might in all honesty claim that the "plot" of Letters is too complex, too intricately woven for any adequate summarization in a short review. Letters is an encyclopedic fiction of sorts, which ranges across the whole of American History, moving from pre-Revolutionary times to our recent Bicentennial. Letters touches too (they range from light to heavy) upon an assortment of questions, interests and subject matters: the “secret sharers" of the men who make, mold, move and manipulate history; the relationship of woman to lover, wife to husband, son to father, friend to friend, even Character to Author; the relationships of Word to Image, Present to Past (and Future to Present), of Literature to Life; there is a fairly in-depth look at the War of 1812, a fairly oblique view of The Sixties, with occasional mentions of Vietnam, and of other things, like Chappaquiddick But all of these things are, in some manner of speaking, the "externals," the things we seem —almost by definition —to have to talk about, when we talk about a book The true accomplishment of Letters, however, lies not in its detailed reconstruction of the War of 1812, not in the playfulness of its language (which might remind fans of Nabokov of N's own puns and codes and anagrams, lies not in the poignancy of Todd Andrews' letters to his long dead father, lies not in the piquancy of Lady Amherst's correspondence. The true accomplishment of Letters lies, as is always the case with Mr. Barth, in the structure of the fiction, in ( its patterning. " Tradition Seif-conscious fiction No one orchestrates their fiction as carefully as John Barth; few writers write so consistently as rigorously as Barth, Mr. Barth has been, and will be with regard to Letters, pejoratively referred to as too "selfconscious" a writer, a criticism which seems to me irrelevant, if not worse. The term "self-conscious," applied pejoratively to writing, usually carries with it an T"DS Lulav! Esrog,! Succos CHABAD HOUSE At The Jewish Student Center Where Judaism Comes Alive!

Stories interweave in 'Letters' implication that the more conventional aspects of the Novel —like Plot, Character, Story, Human Emotion, Human Relevance—are left untouched. Such an implication is almost never applicable to John Barth's work, and is especially inapplicable in the case of Letters. There is. in Letters much poignancy, piquancy, interest, suspense; people die, are born; there are tears and broken hearts, there is perseverance, there are scenes of human responsibility, human culpability, there is the occasional moment of real human happiness, and there is always a smile or two to be seen And all this within a framework of great formal complexity Barth's depiction of Aaron Burr, for example, a minor enough character in Letters, is nonetheless a more fictionally accurate, a more meaningfully drawn, a less merely plastic figure, than the Aaron Burr of, say, a Core Vidal. And this within a framework of great formal, intellectually formal, complexity. It may w?H be true that ''self-conscious'' fiction, like free verse, is easy to write, but such a form of fiction is almost impossible to write well, to write intelligently Barth manages to make his doing so seem easy In "Menelaiad," out of Lost in the Funhouse, there appears a sentence which - epitomizes Barth's ability to orchestrate his (") (') (“What?") (') (")'. fiction: "Menelaiad" is a story-within-a-story to the seventh level, and here the word “What?" is uttered simultaneously in all seven stories, that simultaneity carefully led up to by Barth's sly fictionizing. Such a sentence epitomizes as well Barth's own love for the fiction he writes How many other writers craft their work so lovingly? Not many: Donald Barthelme, William Gass, John Hawkes, Joseph McElroy. Barth's fiction offers us the best of all possible worlds by providing us the best of both worlds: of Form and of Content (quite a hackneyed duo, true, but one which hobbles on; I brought the term "selfconscious," in its applicatiqn to writing, into this review in order to dismiss it. There is, finally, no such thing as "self-conscious " ' '• . by Doug Crowell in fiction," "realistic fiction," "fabulous fiction," etc: there is only "fiction" itself And fiction is either made well, or made poorly, either Carefully, lovingly constructed by its Author, or not paid much attention to, by some scurvy sop who's scored a pen and paper somewhere John Barth is an excellent fictionist, and Letters is an elegant, eloquent fiction. �!

LEVI'S CORDUROY JEANS IN 11 (COUNT 'EM) COLORS The return of Iggy Pop Comes back with new lust Atl After recording two wonderfully bizarre albums with resuscitator-pal David Bowie {The Idiot and Lust For Life) plus a mediocre live disc (1977's TV Eye), the ex-leader of the infamous, pre-"punk" —era Stooges is back with a new band, a new record label, and most importantly, his first IP in about two years. It appears as though the wait was well worth it. Where The Idiot and Lust For Life found Iggy surrounded by the thick walls of Bowie's synthesized production, New Values is characterized by a return to the basics of rock 'n roll, thanks to a somewhat minimal yet adequate studio job by ex-Stooge James Williamson, who offers his services on guitar as well. A.M.&A’s REX) CARPET SHOP, SECOND FLOOR DOW'NTOWN, UNIVERSITY, THRUWAY, SHERIDAN, SOUTHGATE EASTERN HILLS, LOCKPORT, OLEAN, SUMMIT PARK MALL , ***> *•*•********** ■**m The core of the band —Jackie Clark on bass, Scott Thurston (count 'em . . . that makes three Stooges!) on guitars and keyboards, and Klaus Kruger on drums —has emitted a refreshingly crisp and tight sound in front of which Iggy is able to belt out an array of lyrics which are unparalleled by anyone else in vinyldom today. "Tell Me A Story," the opening track, more or less sets the tone for most of the rest of the album, as a lively guitar attack gives way to the following. "What must I do to take a holiday?/Show me a bill that they can make me pay/Tell me a story/And maybe I'll believe it." Amusing spoof Iggy's unique verbal dexterity is expressed to a definitive degree throughout. In "I'm Bored," he treats the punk cliche with an for life offbeat, satirical urgency: "I'm bored/l'm the chairman of the bored/l'm a lengthy monologue/l'm living like a dog/l'm bored." Iggy, who wrote or co-wrote every song on the IP, also makes some lighthearted jabs at various musical styles. "Don't Look Down," with its funky saxes and sleek female backing vocals, is an accurate and amusing spoof of traditional R&B offerings. Rockabilly music is expertly parodied on "Billy Is A Runaway" via the fading in and out of "Johnny B. Goode" —ish guitar riffs, a slight echo Oh the vocal, and a foot-stomping tempo. However, New Values isn't a comedy album. Sensitivity, which was hinted at on the Ig's previous discs, is definitely apparent on this one. “How Do Ya Fix A Broken Part" Ipaves Iggy pleading desperately for a solution to his romantic dilemma. On "Angel," probably the most moving Iggy Pop tune ever written, the band is blessed with a delicate orchestral arrangement and some lavish background harmonies as Mr. Pop breaks some bad news to his girl. The wailing synthesizer, sagging tempo, and suicidal lyrics of "The Endless Sea" convey extreme depression, brought about by a dissatisfaction with capitalistic society: "What a place to be/ln the service of the bourgeoise." Although Iggy proclaims in the title track: "I'm looking for one new value/But nothing* comes my way," one gets the" impression that he is in better control of his craft than he would like us to think, as if to challenge others to search for something new in their , lives After a few listens to Iggy's album, you just might discover some new values of your own. �Children' totters Staging saps strength by Ralph Allen Five soggy charactgers pull themselves into a seedy bar Valentine's Day, 1974. vyith them they bring more than the rain—they are carrying their perspectives of the Sixties like shopping bag ladies would their parcels wrapped in paper and twine, ft seems to be not by chance that the scenario from Kennedy's Children, a play be Robert Patrick now at the Center for Theater Research's OffCenter Cabaret, occurs on Valentine's Day—the play is almost a bittersweet valentine to the era. To carry the onus of the Sixties, Patrick choose a paranoid Vietnam veteran, a student protestor, a school teacher enamored with visions of Camelot, a would-be Marilyn Monroe, and an underground actor who decides he has lived too long when he sees the theater lose its conviction. The five speak as though undergoing catharsis —they're speaking not to each other though their speeches intercut. Patrick used this form "because that was the form I was trying to capture. The lack of relationships. The lack of communication. The tragedy of people who could help one another, who had a great deal to offer one another, but who instead are sitting in this bar completely isolated fPr one another. And the only way I found to express that was the blank series of interlocking monologues," he said, according to an interview in After Dark. Visual pastiche Noble ideals, but in practice, this landscape of monologues gives the play an unwieldly dimension —it blows small physical gestures on state into major elements. When they don't reinforce what's being said, they detract from it. And nothing should detract from the play's thrust, presented to us through the series of monologues. It shrinks the margin of error in timing to nothing. x If the production, directed by Tom Dooney, has flaws they are here.

WUN of troubled play No-win situation The acting seems to stand with the play's humor as the production's strong point, although neither were without faults. Paul Kawalec, as a sardonic actor, capitalized on his role's humor to the play's benefit. Gladys Knight, the student activist, spoke with compassion while chronicalling her travels through the revolutions and counterrevolutions of the Sixties. But she burst into fury that seemed too abrupt—now you see it, now you don't. Vicki Harris, the sex bombshell that bombed, didn't do so on stage; while Erica Wohl, the teacher, somehow seemed to be a standard from which perspectives could be gauged—even when you realized that hers was as much an extreme perspective as anyone else's. Paul DuBois, the Vietnam veteran, infuses the surrealism of one soldier's Vietnam with a presence that cannot be lightly dismissed. The bartender, played by Thomas Jefferson, is an effective figure of silent authority, refereeing whenever anyone broke out of their isolation long enough to notice someone else, '.'I'll never use that form again," Patrick, who was once thought destined to be the next hot young thing in theater, perhaps knows best.

In addition to his startling pianistry, Weston's compositions (among them "African Cookbook," "The Call," "Blues Moses," "Hi Fly") are regarded as classics of the Jazz repetoire, and have been rendered by Coleman Hawkins, Johnny Griffin, Eric Dolphy, Booker Ervin, Weston's orchestral interpreter Melba Liston, and many others.

In her Russian and broken English, Mrs. Shpiler explained her lack of fear: “Why should we be afraid? What do we say? We are only telling the truth.” Since 1975, over 110 Russian families have been moving into the Western New York area each year. Many immigrants maintain that they come to Buffalo generally because they have families already living - here. The Shpilers, along with 30 other families from the Soviet Union, reside in an apartment complex on Buffalo’s North Side.

Who eez dis?” ‘When will Lalia be home?” Quickly, “Lalia no home. I don’t know.” She hangs up, probably trembling, scared and confused. This conversation illustrates some of the apprehension of Soviet Jews who have recently come to the U.S. They are confused because they don’t speak English., They are terrified because they fear for the families they have left behind. They ask many questions of themselves. “Is my Being here creating any hardships? Have they lost their jobs? Have they been . .i I think so.” No one questioned the goldfor medalists’ reasons defecting. They sympathized, recalling their own. Mrs. Shpiler softly voiced a protest of discrimination in Russian schools. “Rema had finished the equivalent of your high school and wanted to continue her studies at a university. But they would not admit her because she is Jewish.” Apparently, Jews are not the , . Jeans not cheap Transportation in Buffalo has left at least one Jewish immigrant totally amazed.

And here .,V he gestured at the narrow street overflowing with cars., “Even the kind you can live in,” he said, pointing to a motor home.

Dinia, a 32 year old neighbor of the Shpilers, revealed that in the Soviet Union, many groups are persecuted. “The government puts its paw on your head and you become Russian. But they don’t treat you like a Russian.” Rema asked her mother to explain why the family had emigrated. “It was ... it was getting hard to live, hard to buy food.” Mr. Shpiler told how he “waited in line for three hours at a time to buy some meat, maybe sausage—to wait so long and only get potatoes or sometimes nothing.” The Shpilers took action to relieve their discontent with Soviet life by arranging for a relative in Israel to pay for their Rema marvelled at her first American hotel. ‘‘In Europe the beds were always so small. Here they are so so big,” she exclaimed. Arriving in Buffalo, the Jewish Family Service took the Shpilers under its wing. “We take care of schooling, living expenses and medical needs until they are ready to support themselves,” said Feld.

The Bulls, 3—1, thrilled their supporters last week with an incredible 29—28 comeback win. Homecoming was originally designed so the school fans could welcome their team' back after the first road trip. At some schools, where football is almost as important as eating and breathing, Homecoming festivities are so spirited that they may last a week or more. Following the Bulls 47th Homecoming game is the Homecoming Dinner and Dance sponsored by the UB Alumni Association. The evening, yvhich begins at 7:30 p.m., will cost $35 to participants, including cocktails, dinner and dancing., The Homecoming Queen, who is' selected based on Grade Point Average and University Community involvement, will tip her crown at halftime. - - - ■ ~ * _ Cross-town rivalry heats up between Bulls and by Carlos Vallarino Sports Editor UB’s perennial foe will storm into Rotary Field tomorrow for the contest that will decide this year’s Hoover trophy winner, awarded annually to the classic rivalry’s victor. UB captured last year’s prize, defeating the Griffins 16-10 at Parker Field with a late touchdown. This season the story may be different, The Bulls have already though. accumulated as many wins as they did in the entire 1978 campaign and sport a •3—1 record. Canisius, meanwhile, has not fared as well, and after dropping last week’s encounter with RPI, 14-13, the Griffins’ log stands at 1-2. “We took the opening kick-off 70 yards for a touchdown,” described Canisius Sports Information Director Michelle Pond. “But we didn’t threaten again until the two-minute warning.” The Griffins will have to do better than that if they are to challenge the BUlls, and Pond expects Main Street’s famous rivalry to be a passing showdown. “The passing game is definitely our strong point,” Pond said. “Seven of the eight touchdowns we’ve scored this year - have come through the air. Our quarterback is Kevin Carwith, and his favorite target is tight end Mark Lloyd, who’s caught six touchdown passes already.” Hurt backs In the event that UB’s defense should be up to the task of handling Carwith’s aerial attack, the Griffs would have to rely on their lame running game. “Both our starting running backs were knocked out against Alfred,” Pond continued. “But the running game is solid we’ve been throwing a lot only because the passing game has been so effective, not because our ground game is weak.” The Bulls also rely on their signal caller’s arm, and coach Bill Dando agrees with Pond in expecting the teams to take to the air. “We’re both throwers unless we can find our running game,” he commented. One thing that Dando does not expect to happen is to have UB quarterback Jim Rodriguez throw 43 times, as he did to guide the Bulls’ more-exciting-than-amovie-script comeback against Waynesburg last Saturday. “We never plan to throw the ball 40 - ... Studio Arena Theatre tickets for weeknight series are now available at the Ticket Office. Squire Hall at reduced rates ■ times,” the coach asserted. “But sometimes the situation forces you to do it.” One factor that may convince Rodriguez to use his fleet-footed receivers is Canisius’ lack of experience at the defensive back positions. “We have some young people in the secondary,” Pond revealed. “We have two sophomores at the safety spots.” Day to remember Rodriguez was able to rip into the Yellow Jackets’ secondary rather consistently last week, accumulating 269 yards on 21 completions. His main target was tight end Kevin Pratt, who ended up on the receiving end five times for 95 yards.

October 16th from 10 am 4 - For a personal interview sign up for an The homecoming game’s main attraction will be the intense rivalry the two squads and the schools feel toward one another. The series’ renovation will follow tonight’s bonfire and pep rally, to be held between the lake and the Bubble at the Amherst campus. “I think the rivalry is good for both schools,” Dando asserted. “But 1 just hope the fans don’t get out of hand.” A large crowd is indeed expected for this one, probably topping the season opening high of6364. \ But the Bulk’ coach would not reveal whether he has brewed up any special surprises for the Griffins, instead giving some sound advice, “Just come to the game and see.” Wild Bunch wins In men’s intramural football action the experienced teams are distinguishing themselves from the rookie squads. Dominating the leagues after two weeks are the Checkers with 53 points scored, and Lamars, who have tallied 47 points. Each is untouched in the defensive column. Also showing stroftg offensive power are Tolchok I with 51 points, Tolchok II, who have amassed 48 points, and Toxic Wastes with 40 points. The stingiest in the defensive department include the Paraplegics, TKE and MASH. Other teams iwth recognizable efforts in their respective Leagues include Animals, Helter Skelter, Panama Redskins, Floyd Turbo and the Wesley’s Wild Bunch. Wesley’s Wild Bunch confronted Foreplay for the match-up of the week. The contest was a defensive battle until Bruce Wagner connected with Dan Candella on a 40-yard curl pass in the end-zone with under two minutes remaining in the game. Foreplay, stunned by the score, was unable to get anything going before the gun sounded and walked off the field 10 yards from a tying score. In the Governor’s League, the Beaver Patrol is devastating their opponents with an outstanding offensive thrust. They easily crushed the Mob Sunday, scoring 31 to the Mob’s six. Gangreene, equal in record, is slightly behind the Patrol in points scored, but their defense is unblemished, having shut-out two opponents. A problem due to forfeits has been developing in the Intramural Leagues, hampering the completion of team’s schedules. The Recreation Department asks that for the League’s sake, please show up to scheduled games. • , pm appointment in Hayes' Annex “C”, room 3 (University Placement Office). . �t ■ ? t v: J � . vr. tSPXR Bengals shutout Bulls—three game win streak snapped by Dan Holder injuries.

Physics ' —continued from page 1— . . . some seem unattainable. “They cite the need for additional faculty members,” he said, “but that means lab space and equipment for them. The University does not have these funds.” He added that UB funds from which money could have been drawn, have “apparently been frozen.” In his 1978-1979 Annual Report for his Faculty, Dean Anderson explained that, “. the total Faculty strength has diminished on the average of about four positions per year over the past five years, With significant reductions in non-instructional support staff as well.” Specifically about the Department of Physics and Astronomy he said, “(it) has declined in strength over the past decade to a point where its current overall health and vitality is of concern.” . . Strengthening needed Figures on graduate student head counts placed Physics and Astronomy among the highest. The department showed that since 1976-77, the number of grad students increased 11.8 percent compared to Statistics—down 51 percent, Geological Sciences—up 8.8 percent and Chemistry’s decrease of 7.5 percent. “Trends in the Department of Physics and Astronomy,” Anderson said, “show continued improvement. Significant problems, however, remain.” Anderson cited the SED Program Review’s call for faculty growth “in the form of bright, new physicists in the junior ranks.” He added that, “attention has been drawn to the fact that we have only one very strong ar«g of specialization, condensed matter physics.” Anderson additionally said SED recommended the strengthening of “a number of other areas.” He called for better instructional facilities, particularly one or more large lecture halls “with preparation rooms suitable for the many demonstrations required to adequately teach large classes.” The need, he said, will be partially met with the completion of the new classroom building, but cautioned that, “it remains a present and urgent problem and it is not certain that we have provided adequately for its resolution in the future.” Research and recruitment In his report, Anderson also drew attention to the “noncompetitive” graduate student- stipend levels in the department. “As a result,” he maintained, “qualified American students are not being attracted ip sufficient numbers. “The Department of Physics,” Anderson concluded, “is one of the most important in the entire University. Every effort must be made to increase its vigor and effectiveness.” Holt told The Spectrum that two major areas targeted by SED are research and faculty recruitment. “Cited was the need to improve research support from the outside and the need to recruit faculty in two areas, which has been done.” Holt praised Isihara for his efforts thus far in Departmental j upgrading. “He has gotten the Department virtually, turned around,” Holt said. “Isihara has showed growth in the Departipent and promise for the future.” . . Not jeopardized He said additionally that the University has showed a strong commitment to a high quality doctoral program. “I don’t believe the program is in jeopardy or representative of a low-quality Department at all,” Holt said. Both Anderson and Hold maintained that the additional and updated data sent recently to the council would convince the body of the Department’s improvement. ‘‘I find the criticisms made earlier, small in number compared to the positive aspects of the program,” said Anderson. “The report issued by University PresidentKetter to the doctoral council highlights the strengths and remarkable improvement in recent years,” he added. He also said that he expects Ketter and Bunn—who is a member of the doctoral council —to make a strong defense of the Department. The doctoral council seats representatives from all doctoral degree-granting institutions in the State. ‘Tm even less concerned about the outcome with Bunn sitting on that board,” Holt said. �classified Bailey near Hewitt, 2-bedroom, stove <i refrig.

"What kind?’’inquires one student glibly. “Ham and cheese?" offers another. “No, I think its bull-oney, says a third, getting the last laugh ” SITTINGS * Ig M (Ms scatsier) Confessions of a sub: ‘ . ” At about 6:30 in the morning a substitute teacher is startled into consciousness by a ringing, begins groping through the dark in search of the telephone thinking, “I shouldn’t have had that last beer last night.” The telephone presents the polite familiar voice of someone he’s never seen. It informs him of a particular school that needs his help today and thanks him, noting what time he is to report. He hangs up, trying to place the location of that school. With the help of a map and black coffee, he confronts the grey waxing morning and his 1963 Plymouth Valiant. “Come on baby, start for me today. I need the bucks,” he pleads. Thirty faces stare at him, elated their teacher is out for the day. They are jubilant because of the promised deviation from the mundaneness of a normal school day. The prospect of turning the usual 50-minute class period into a stage for disorder, comedy, and general chaos awaits them. And his coffee burns his stomach. Ham and cheese Scenes depicted in the above vignette are not necessarily the plight of all substitute teachers. According to Chris Privateer, former high school student and paramount in the harrassment of subs, there are three factors which determine the trouble in store for a substitute teacher. One, the particular disposition of the students on a given day, is greatly affected by the weather and the particular day of the week —sunny Fridays being the worst combination. Another is the sternness and poise of the particular teacher—a quality related at least in part to that teacher’s physical appearance. Finally, the degree of “urbaneness” of the given school.” It is no secret that inner-city students are the most intrepid and audacious of them all,” claimed Privateer. What kind of masochist would it take to perform in such a capacity as the substitute teacher?” Some subs do it because they aspire towards becoming a full time teacher, in a profession which—being one of the least in demand and highest in supply—that is precisely what they went to school for, spending that time and money getting certified. These dedicated souls persevere until one day, hopefully, their dream will come true—a classroom of their own in which they would gain so much control through the wielding of that omnipotent weapon—the grade. Other subs include educated housewives who appreciate the challenge and the opportunity to get out of the house and make sopte extra money. Still others do it as a means of making money in order to further their education in graduate school. Studying teachers While .a full-time teacher in a public school is required to be certified in a specific area of study, substitute teachers legally need not be certified at all. Although it helps if that sub wishes to teach in a school system outside the inner-city. Amherst Junior High Assistant Principal Bob Welch noted, “We are not legally bound to use only certified subs, but it is our Board policy that we do so.” Welch also pointed out that the Amherst system makes an effort to gauge the quality of its substitute teachers through evaluations by regular teachers and student reactions. “Whether the work gets done” and the handling of “general classroom management” are the two major factors determining the quality of a sub, according to Welch. Emphasizing that “real expertise in a subject area is of less importance than the control of a classroom.” Welch added, “We’d rather put a good sub in a subject outside his field than a poor one inside his major field.” Hanging on the telephone Amherst, along with many suburban schools and a few in the Buffalo public school system, uses a “preferred list” which contains the names of substitute teachers who have proven themselves reliable in the classroom. At the top of Amherst’s list, according to Welch, are a few subs used almost daily in various subjects. These fortunate few are what Welch describes as serving at the “Principal’s discretion,” and are often awarded a considerable pay per day. Although the daily rate of pay for Buffalo area substitutes is $30, five dollars less than wages paid on Long Island, {he regularity of work is exceptionally high. According theihe Buffalo Evening News last year Buffalo recordM the highest rate of absences for a full-time teacher in the country, each teacher taking on the average, more than nine sick days over the school year. 1 vs, Aside from the inherent inconveniences surrounding such an unstable profession—which allows, according to the ambitiousness of the teacher and the school’s demand, earnings any where up to the $150 per week—it is for many a desirable full or part time job. Unlike most jobs, the worker needs only unplug the telephone the night before if he or she does not wish to work the next day. * — 1'iV'mi ivvi nm>t �Doctor, lawyer, Indian chief one man sampled all of them by Joe Simon Campus Editor i M I bright and entertaining multimillionaire began his story. The product of a wealthy, broken family, Abagnale set out for New York City at 16. His attempt at a stock boy position failed, “because I was very naive. I Posing as a doctor at the age of 18, Frank Abagnale billed as The Great Imposter—worked in an Atlanta hospita| for over a year. “One time I had to write something on a patient’s chart, so I scribbled a few lines of nothing. I mean nothing. The nurse read it and said, ‘right away, doctor.’ Abagnale, a 31 year old native of Bronxvitle, New York, dynamically delivered his life story before close to 250 people in the Fillmore Room Wednesday. The former ddctor, airline pilot, and Assistant Attorney General for the State of Louisiana spoke for just over an hour, without a trace of hesistation. Abagnale often resembled a stand-up comedian while relating his exploits. Recounting stories which often reeked with exaggeration, the former con man had complete control of the audience. The qualities that earned him millions of illegal dollars throughout the 1960s were still blatantly evident. Serving time in prison earlier this decade, Abagnale is currently a consultant on embezzlement prevention for a host of corporations. Prior to this, however, he was busy forging hundreds of bad checks, embezzling thousands of dollars, running con games, and impersonating professionals of all types. At age 16, after donning a Captain’s uniform for Pan American Airlines, Abagnale was approached by a TWA pilot in a LaGuardia Airport luncheonette. “He asked me what kind of equipment I work with,” Abagnale said, not knowing the pilot was referring to an airplane. “1 told him General Electric.” Abagnale has no sense of the word modesty. After quoting The Wall Street Journal which called him “the greatest imposter of all time,” the amazingly articulate, thought one could support himself that way. Suddenly, Abagnale realized he needed an alternative source of income. “I couldn’t steal a purse, so 1 wrote bad checks,” he recalled. When he felt that he had written enough bad checks to get caught, Abagnale used his assets: a 150 IQ and a photographic memory. He connived his way into Obtaining a pilot’s uniform, memorized some training manuals, and was suddenly a Captain for Pan Am. Abagnale “dead headed” for two years, from 16 to 18, which he explained as riding in the “jump seat” of the cockpit along with a regular flight crew. This seat, he said, is for an airline employee who needs immediate ” 'a * transportation. “Once, in a Boeing 707 at 35,00 feet, the pilot had told me to take over because he was going in back to talk with a few passengers. I was 16 and I couldn’t even fasten my seat belt. If the co-pilot had gotten up I would have confessed right there.” After several years as a pilot and a doctor, Abagnale tried his hand at law. He failed theLouisiana bar twice, but memorized enough of it to pass the third time. He quickly earned the position of Assistant Attorney General. Interpol caught him in France. He spent several months in both French and Swedish prisons, and was then deported back to the US. On the plane back to this country, he escaped through the toilet fixture after landing at Kennedy Airport. He was picked up several years later by Canadian police. * - _ He has been on The Tonight Show seven times this year and will be hosting the show for an entire week next Spring. His life story will hit the motion picture screen sometime next SBJnfner with Dustin Hoffman in the* lead role. Abagnale sonfberly concluded that if he had the chance to relive his life, he would not go in the same direction. “1 lost something very important which I’ll never have again—my youth.” Without a pause, Abagnale began promoting his book. „ . Pro-banian sentiment fills long forum in Fillmore Room He also hypothesized that the Iranian government may not be by Ralph Allen whole-heartedly behind the student’s actions, however, feels it cannot back out. “The Iranian government,” he said, “has become the 51st hostage in the Embassy.” Klein, who visited Iran during June and July, maintained that the issues of the Shah’s asylum and the plight of the hostages could not be divided. Spectrum Arts Editor The recent media blitz on the crisis in Iran has been targeted toward American acceptance of war with that nation, said two speakers at a two-hour forum Monday evening in the Fillmore Room. Ending a day of films and discussions onjran, the lecture featured Buffalo State College English Professor John Dwyer, journalist David Klein who recently returned from Iran, and Dr. Kaukab Siddique, a writer for Iranian Voice “The American government, and not the Iranian government, is responsible for the hostages in Iran today” he said, drawing applause from the audience. magazine. Civil liberties attack Klein also said that the matter of S25 billion—the alleged worth of the Shah—and not his illness, is keeping the deposed ruler here. Holding hostages, he added, is the best way the Iranians believe they can ensure that the Shah or another U.S. implanted government does not challenge Khomeini’s rule. According to the journalist, the most dangerous issue immediately confronting this country is the impending fate of Iranians —especially students —in light of President Carter’s deportation edict. That directive compels the Immigration Service to review the status of all Iranian students in this country for possible visa or “good standing” violations. During the question and answer period that ensued after the panel’s statements, Klein elaborated on Siddique’s statement that the media manipulates the image of Iran. Klein spoke of the alleged newspaper “blackout” on such incidents as the recent murder of an Iranian gasoline station owner in Southern California. The item, he said, was carried on the news wire services, but appeared in a very few newspapers. The journalist then told the audience that Americans should prepare to assist Iranians called by Immigration for deportation. That, he said will constitute an “attack on civil liberties.” Siddique told the group of about 150 largely pro-Iranian students that the media blitz “is to make people forget what happened over 25 years.” He proposed that it is impossible to understand the current crisis in Iran without realizing that the confrontation did not begin 41 days ago, but 25 years ago. Dwyer, who spoke as a concerned American, defended the sovereignty of those involved in diplomatic missions. Using as an example the Ayatollah’s envoys who were recently sent to speak with rival Ayatollah Shariat-Madari, Dwyer said that if they were seized, the fabric of diplomacy wbuld be nonexistent. America responsible While the professor did not defend actions of the U.S. in the past, he still asserted the sanctity of the hostages even in light of this country’s “support”of the infamous acts of deposed Shah Reza Pahlevi. The issue of the Shah’s asylum in this country should be addressed soon, he said. He maintained, however, that “the lives of the hostages are not negotiable.” Citing similaf embassy takeovers in Pakistan and Libya, Dwyer said that the Khomeini government’s condonance of the act placed the Iranian situation beyond the pale of civilized conduct.

Two artificial trees stand guard in the doorway. Silvery garlands encompass the room while frameless pencil-drawn portraits of past and present patrons smile down on the card games and conversations at the tables below. A quick look around reveals that the club’s clientele represents both sexes, all adult age groups, and a myriad of races and nationalities. As the weather gets colder, the place will be packed every night it’s open. At closing time, many won’t want to leave. Some will have no place to go. They are Night People and this hangout is the Night People’s Drop-in Center. In New York City, they’re called Bowery Bums. A columnist in a Syracuse paper named them “No Known Address.” In Buffalo they call them Night People. The Night People’s Drop-Ih Center on West Tupper is home for these individuals. The center is a place to enjoy comradeship, get a frfce meal—the menu varies but soup and hoc coffee arc staples—and to get help-with housing or medical needs. “This place is unique because there are no questions asked. Anyone who needs help comes to us,” said President of the Center, Charlie McCulloch, who explained that the Center offers the options of hospital care and sleeping accommodations to its visitors. Can’t cope According to McCulloch, other places make a man “sing for his supper.” One Christian mission for street people requires that before a man can have a morsel to eat, he must attend a one-hour religious service, while other centers force patrons to complete forms and undergo counseling sessions. "Many of the people who come here are alcoholics,” said Comprehensive Employment and Training Act (CETA) Project Coordinator Richard Dunn. “A lot of people can’t cope in today’s sophisticated technological society,” he added. Dunn emphasized that many at the Center were unskilled laborers, replaced at the factory by machines that worked more efficiently. Most Night People support themselves from monthly welfare, social security or disability checks. Some don’t even receive aid. Recipients of these benefits must have an address. “We try to convince landlords to take in people so they can get welfare,” Dunn maintained, “but things aren’t working out. Most landlords don’t believe they’ll get paid,” he added. The money received at the beginning of each month doesn’t last long. Night People are frequently victims of crime. McCulloch related the story of one man confined to a wheelchair who was robbed of his check every month. The thieves knew that he hid his $S00 check in his chair, for it was common knowledge in Night People circles. So, they used to dump him out onto the street and find the money. “It was hard for him to fight,” Dunn said, “since he had no legs.” The bottle What money is left by thieves is usually squandered on alcohol. This universal obsession for alcohol takes precedence over prejudice. “When a new guy walks in here, the only Cliantala coma from all walka of Ilia Many at the Center are unskilled thing everyone wants to know is if he shares the bottle,” McCulloch said. Although alcohol drains these people’s lives, it also provides a sense of unity. Bottle gangs are another example of this subculture’s departure from society’s practices emphasizing differences among men. “A bottle gang is a group of guys who sl>are a bottle. The gang stays together as long as the men in it can raise enough money to buy a fifth,” explained McCulloch. The Night People’s Drop-In Center depends totally on volunteer support and donations. In the cellar are stacked cases of canned goods donated by various groups and individuals. “Three weeks ago this room was empty,” asserted McCulloch. Most of the donations the Center receives come this time of year. Recently, R.J. Reynolds Inc. donated 260 cases of canned goods and Canisius College chipped in another $1500 worth of food. “It’s got to last Us until Easter when donations come in again,” McCulloch speculated, “Until then we have to live like the squirrels.” Griffin gives up fight to close Center The Drop-In Canter it home for many —Garry Preneta Alcohol drains the lives ol the Night People Buffalo Mayor James D.

BRADY �President John Kemeny assured minority students—who compromise 10 percent of the enrollment—that “this college cares deeply about you.” These campus protests come at a time when more blacks than ever arc attending college. There are more than three times as many blacks on campuses now than in 1966. One out of every nine college students is black, double the level of 13 years ago and nearly the same as the proportion of blacks in the U.S. population as a whole. 21 percent of blacks from families who earn between $10,000 and $15,000 go to college compared to 17 percent of similar income whites. NOT ALONE: UB isn't the only campus oh which minority common complaint, one heard at UB also, Is that Black Studies Programs have been slighted. groups have boon raising their voices. At many colleges across the country minorities have charged unfair practices. A Racial protests common on campuses across country by John Lapiana Education Editor Demonstrations and protest—such as the one, organized by black students at UB—can be considered part of a growing discontent on the part of minorities on the nation’s campuses. Many universities throughout the country are experiencing their first somewhat crippling student protests since the Vietnam War. During the UB demonstration, bus traffic was stopped for over an hour. Minority students have raised their voices at campuses across the country. For the first time in nine years, Dartmouth College had to cancel classes in response to student protest. The chief issue—charges of racism by Dartmouth’s black students—are similar to the grievanced filed by the UB protestors. Dartmouth protestors attacked the traditional Winter Carnival Ice Sculpture with black and red paint. “Without tearing something up or hurting someone,” Black Student Leader Donald O’Bannon explained to Time Magazine,” it was the most dramatic thing we could do.” The demonstrators were specific in some of their demands. Dartmouth demonstrators there charged that the black studies program is too small. The UB protestors have cited this school’s Black Studies department as a partial cause for (heir demonstration. The Dartmouth students also demanded more tenured black professors and applied pressure on that school’s administration to divest itself of all corporate holdings in South Africa. In addition to those demands, the Dartmouth minority student body felt they were isolated from the rest of the student community. At a meeting between the minority students and the school’s administration Dartmouth ....

Black student protests there were centered amidst a scandal concerning the school’s 13 white sororities. Anita Estell, a former president ofher high school class, signed up for rush week only to be rejected because of her race. “1 never really realized 1 was analysis black until I came here,” Estell told Time:” Nobody wanted to be the first sorority to pledge a black woman. Blacks at the Columbia campus have protested this type of treatment and describe the school as “inhospitable.” At the largest college of the South, the University of Texas at Austin, the black student population has tripled since 1972 but it still remains relatively small (992 blacks out of a total student population of 42,000). Black students and faculty there have charged the school with being . “uninterested” with Mack affairs. � The fotus of much of the black students’ ire is the black studies programs of their schools. At UB the feeling reflects sentiments at many universities—the black studies programs are deemed less important by the Administration, hence it is easier to cut its resources. “This University is not sensitive to minority needs as shown by past expenditures,” charged UB Black Studies Department Chairman James Pappas. He believes the problems encountered by his department are part of a national trend of diminishing attention given to blacks and their problems. „ mm MAKE NEW FRIENDS ON A FUN VACATION « 3 Introductory Courses For Credit In Conjunction with the Religious Studies Program Chassldic Philosophy ************ RSP 205, Reg.

Wednesday was our last for the semester." Now we measure time in days until our next deadline. With a change in our calendar system, an alteration follows in our perspective. Now, we have the time to look back and study what we’ve done. Every year, The Spectrum starts out with big plans, hoping to produce the best possible paper. Depending on our energy level, we sometimes start thinking, usually around mid-semester, of just putting out a paper better than last semester. By late November, we just want to put out a a paper. Despite this seemingly pessimistic attitude, our first goal— to do the best we can— always underlies our other efforts. Sure, we have our high and low points, like anybody else in any other job or class. We are not machines and inconsistency shows. But we have tried to be informative, creative, and innovative. We tried to offer responsible critical comments on issues which we betieve are important. We have attempted to juxtapose what we believe to be important with what we think you believe to be important, meshing this with what we think you wish to read about. Now we can be evaluative of ourselves. We can examine the approximate 700 pages of journalism in The Spectrum by students this semester. We can pick out the highs and the lows, we pan attempt to discern why one issue was better than the next or vice versa. Hindsight is always better. It is hindsight that helps us have foresight. We can gain a new perspective, think about the relevance of our front page graphic to us while we sit up here clicking typewriter keys. It is an awkward combination—the two seem so far apart. So next semester, with a little foresight, then maybe we will somehow be able to connect them, to bring them a little closer, to create a relevance other than irrelevance. Although we may view ourselves with pessimism, noting all the things we haven’t accomplished, it is with optimism that we await next semester. It is with new plans and ideas and even energy. And we still have the list of things to do from last semester. We feel fortunate that we have time to re-group. We have so much time we can re-examine our re-examination. It will pass, fast. The end of the semester provides everyone here, we hope, with the same opportunity—to look back, look ahead, think about what they learned in class, from friends, as people; to study their goals, dreams, and hurdles; to weigh their successes and failures; to balance the pluses and the minuses, to add up the grand total and to place it in context. So here we are 39 papers later, smiling and frowning, but appreciative of our new calendar—the December month to think. It’s like the feeling one gets lying in bed right before sleep, where your mind races and thoughts jump from pillow to pillow. Only this time, that period of reflection is a lot longer, it's the semester Break. And in the middle of it all, a decade will end and 10 years will be added to the list of things upon which we should reflect. And the Seventies and Fall semester will both be over, ai)d the boat people still dying, and The Spectrum 39 issues farther than we were in September. So now, where are we?

To the Editor: Your editorial of Wednesday, Dec, 12, “Make it Last” is correct. Any constitution passed by the students should be able to stand the test of time. It would be foolish to think that the new constitution will be flawless however, it must last more than two years it the Student Association is going to continue. When the constitution is reviewed by the SA Executive Committee and Senate, this concept will be addressed. The editorial only cites committee member Bob Lombardi, Lombardi is not representative of the SA Executive or its Senate and we are all concerned and feel responsible for developing a structure (or Student Association that will last more that a few years. ~ Joel Mayersohn SA President by Robert G. Basil Readers of this college rag have every right to believe that the editors here came to UB because they didn't have enough things to rag on (rag upon?) in their home towns on “The Island." You read about an Administration soaked with ex-engineers and their demented quest to stamp out Poets and Art lovers. You read about professors who don’t regard teaching undergraduates as a serious portion of their scholarly duties. You read about SA Senators and their aspirations to destroy, destroy, destroy. Lately, expecially evident on the editorial page columns The Spectrum editors have even begun to rag on each other. One writer—a really sweet friend of mine—has in successive weeks described me as a: wandering bum. drug addict and a literary sleaze. Pretty beat, dull even. Another describes a certainly sordid nervous breakdown. Oh .,. that my life were really so literary. Many people tell me that they thing our newspaper just fabricates fatuous controversies just to keep the newsprint splattered with type; and we get our rocks'off by defining the moral stand on ’"‘everything from abortion to Syracuse football.

Why, I complained, were the realities peculiar to the dormitory milieu not further explored? And how come—what with all the Culture going on at UB—were not more poets and experimental musicians covered. Huh Why? A large part of the answer can be found in the we)rd isolation in which the editors find themselves. The board members who write over half the copy for each paper—thrice weekly—often spend over forty hours a week in a cluttered and disorganized office in the -Student Union (I certainly don’t). Without exception, .their academic workload takes backseat to their writing responsibilities. Sometimes I feel this is kind of sick, but these guys really love the paper. One reason renowned English Professor Robert Greeley’s “Walking the Dog" poetry readings (where some of the most influential and imaginative writers show their stuff in the newly christened Capen Hall Poetry room)’have gone virtually unnoticed is because most editors have to spend their Wednesday nights editing staff copy and finishing up their own General Education and Faculty Senate stories—vital reporting aiming to help students guide their academic lives. ... GORIS The most telling refutation of criticism of this paper came to me on a but last where the packed in mass of students all of a sudden started atSkfng, “Why is Sociology 343 only worth three credits now?“ These were the same people bored to-teprs by the profusion of "those Springer stories” always on the front page. “Ketter should have asked us first.” But this isn't one of those universities where Administrators and Faculty respect most students, let alone ask us for opinions. Administrators see no expedience in establishing a dialogue with a student Senate which in the past “dissolved” nearly every campus organization except itself. And the Faculty, disillusioned with the shrinking qualifications of the students they’re paid to instruct, are more inclined to let undergraduates come to them for advice and with their individual interests than vice versa. Most Faculty I’ve talked to, both as a student and as a reporter, say they are especially thrilled when a bright student is actually interested in the academic stuff they write J articles and books about. They are, regretfully, rarely thrilled. In any case, the editorial board of The Spectrum could use a few good thrills—In the form of a few excitable writers and thinkers to report on the myriad and remarkable happenings we don't have the energy or knowledge to get to. It’s easy to rise in this place. - ~— �feedback Hostages Intellectual resources To the Editor: To the Editor: The Khomeini has accused us of sheltering the Shah and thus withholding from him the justice that is due him as a destroyer and robber of Iranian people. The recent demonstrations by Black Students on only by the Saturday night encounter between Black and White students, but also by a series of continuing incidents that caused the Blacks to feel harassed, intimidated and demeaned because of their race. The Protestors we heard were not only voices of anger but also anguish at slurring epithets and overt provocations. While Ellicott has been identified as a troubled place, and Campus Security has oftentimes been perceived as unfortunately adversarial, there has been too many reports by Black (and EOP) students, of ill-reQard and demeaning consideration by some office personnel and certain classrooms practitioners who regard their rich endowment of melanin as badges of inferiority and “rip-off-ers” of the middle class. These linkages are indefensibly pervasive in time and scope on the campus of this public institution, created by public writ for the public good, and completely antithetical to this bastion of enlightment and knowledge and reason. This is not to dismiss as truth that person of good will, in principle and practice, abide on this campus. But suppose he had charge us with racism? Our campus, for one would have been quite capable of giving very explicit examples which would be quite plausible and convincing as an exchange for hostages held by any government anywhere! No one expects perfection in the human race, certainly not since Adam, Jezebel, Herod, Nero, Hitler, and many more. But it Is certainly clear that a university education should include the enrichment and training of lives rather than merely the projects of making a living. What purpose is there of learning how to work the formulas in physics and mathematics and can’t sense the fundamental feelings of ones neighbor? What difference does it make to study the behavior of the human race and its relationship to its physical, political, economic and cultural contexts while the miracle and mystery of his being and identification disappears into the shadows? If the reading of many books, the writing of hundreds of pages, the listenings to thousands of works cannot conclude at minimum that Black people are creations if God and are therefore intrinsically sacred like all the rest of mankind, and that Black people are Americans and therefore share the dreams and the nightmares of this country, and that Blqpk people are New Yorkers and therefore have legal and essential rights to SUNY education like every other New Yorker, than not only should the western world forget about oil and energy, (For indeed neither one of them really is the fundamental problem,) but SUNY should close down for there is nothing essential enough to be taught! If what comes through the conceptions of mind cannot reach the pinnacles of humanity and of divinity, it’s hardly worth the time and therefore worthless of eternity! Wasn’t It the poet ' Nerval who wrote that “the dragonseed planted by the dragons teeth will rise again and grow to size?” What gross and brutal darkness must we be in—now, when the country is beginning to discover former unity, now when Blacks and whites are held in Teheran, now when everyone is under the stress of completing his work for the semester before he hears “peace §nd good will towards men,"—to return to senseless and irrational violence and the dragon of hatred!-' Note then, our need for repentance and selfexamination for irrational outbreaks on people because their skin has a different color is really no more innocent than keeping foreigners hostage because the hostage you want isn’t in your country at the time.

Maloney College BAILOUT campus were prompted, not i •4 Instead, it is to aver, quite emphatically so, that we have a civic fester that will not disappear of Its own accord. Nor is the cure the removal from this American public institution, anyone different in color, creed or religion. Rather, our response should be at a value level, worthy of a great‘univority. Accordingly, the voices of those aggrieved should be heard, legitimate demands adjudicated and changes for the gbod and better, implemented with dispatch. Meaningful, openminded, tolerant discourse between and among those who are now adversaries should take place toward a resolution of differences, dissolution of disruptive encounters and destruction of myths. Mutual respect, courtesy, reasonable sensitivity to others must take place in offices and classrooms, in places of residence and cmpus gathering, In hallways and sidewalks lor are not these hallmarks of the educated person? Moreover, can a nation beset with continuing social, political and economic ills at home, and growing opposition abroad, afford to squander its intellectual resources in internal squabbles and conflicts as we seem to be doing. Not our nation and not our university. Edward S. Jenkins Valid demands To the Editor: We are writing this letter in acknowledgment of the demands BSU has presented to this University concerning Third World Students. It is our feeling that the demands made are valid and it is the responsiblility of the University community to Improve conditions for minority students and take active leadership in pushing Affirmative Action at UB. We feel that Third World students are justified in their actions and we support their continuing struggle against racism. The Women in Contemporary Society Teaching Collective of Women's Studies College Nothing being done To the Editor This letter is in reference to all of those articles and responses pertaining to the demonstrations held on the week of December 3.1 would like to establish a few facts, as well as comments. There are a majority of students here at this University, who come from mitjdle class families. There are a priority of students here at this university, who continuously study in order to sustain a decent cum; and as a result of this, they compete with one another so that they may be chosen for their particular department. There are a majority of students here at the university, who can totally identify with these statements, and I happen to be one of them. I also happen to be black. Now you may ask yourself what does my being black have to do with the above proclalmations. Whether you may or may not know, if has everything In the world to do with it. I along with quite a few other minority students at this school, are not excluded because of our background; we experience the same types of prejudices like every other minority student here on this campus. What Tm trying to point out is the fact that UB does not base Its discimlnatory actions on a student’s upbringing; but rather that of his race or religion. So to those who feet that their parents are being burdened with the issue of supporting minorities in college, because they are the "white middle class," don’t feelLtoo deprived, all parents share the same hardship. Continuing, I’d like to discuss the ree “white middle class,” don’t feel too deprived, all parents share the The purpose of our protesting was not to re-establish any type of racism. How are we to commence a happening which already exists? What we did do, was as well as the to make it known to the students of public, that although it may appear we have equal rights, it’s only on a surface basis. One may propose the question, "how much more equality do Blacks (minorities) want?” We are asking for a lot more respect and consideration. We want to be albe to enter any type of situation, without being scrutinized. We also want to have a greater percentage of representation; whether it be in the Student Association or the Senate. The demands proposed were for a particular purpose. They are not new ideas, but rather old ones which should bave been considered and accepted a long time ago. The demonstrations were not a pre meditated occurence. They were a result of the incidents which occurred during the weekend of November 30; but the protest was not held just because of this fact. It was mainly held because we are sick and tired of being abused and nothing Is being done to correct to situation. In summation I’d just like to elaborate on one more issue. Whether you like it or not, we are here, and here to stay, and with this in mind I just like to say that trust that things will go accordingly. P.S. This is a special note to my friend (a joke) who is I the author of "Fair Benefits." GROW UP! I respect your right of free speech, but next time use your head. Think about what you’re saying before you proclaim it. Please don’t be another ignoramus, there are already enough in this world. same hardship. Continuing, I’d like to discuss the real issue at hand H. K. Wooden ‘The Spectrum’ anti-black To the Editor: bottle and cut me tace 01 me oiiiei Need I say more?! I have also come to the conclusion that Student Association Ofticers (who are white) are just as antiblack as Elena Cacavas who reported the incident in The Spectrum, for the fact that they didn’t speak out against The Spectrum tor the injustice to the Black StVdents involved and the obvious urging through The Spectrum of the white students to “Judge for themselves—how the Black Americans always start the trouble." Another excerpt from The Spectrum is “Griffin said one of the group of three, Craig Henson, was involved in a Pub fight earlier that evening at 12:30a.m.” (Craig Henson is a Black American Student here at UB.) Was that little addition absolutely relevant to the issue at > , Having read the report in The Spectrum of the Black Student demonstration and the same incident reported in The Reporter, I have come to the conclusion that The Spectrum is anti-black. I base my conclusion on the following: An excerpt from The Spectrum about the demonstration is as follows: “At 2:45 a.m. Saturday in the Wilkeson Pub a fight allegedly broke out between two UB students, Daniel Angelo—who is white and an unknown black male. The latter reportedly broke a bottle and cut Angelo In the neck.” The same incident was reported in The Reporter as: “. the whole affair seems to have ignited early Saturday at Wilkeson Pub when a white student remarked sarcastically to a black that the Iranian situation “has pushed them off the front pages of the newspapers.' A fight erupted which was stopped by friends, but another ensued later ouside. In the later incident, the Mack student allegedly broke a beer / hand? Is it against the constitution of The Spectrum to truly report for the best interest of all?! Name withheld upon request �j I r feedback Scheduling discrimination To tho Editor The Office of Admissions and Records is discriminating against non-Western New Yorkers by delaying publication of spring schedules until Jan. 7, N60. Don't they realize that thousands of students will be unable to obtain their schedules until the first day of classes! It becomes very difficult for a student to schedule volunteer work or jobs when his weekly schedule is uncertain. Personalty, I lost a volunteer position for the Fall semester due to the delay of schedule processing last fall. With attrition being a widely publicized problem, it is evident that the administration has failed to act on a recurring problem. Here the solution does not depend on money, simply better organization by a failing department. However all is not lost. There are solutions that can still be sought. My suggestions are: 1) to mail, early in the vacation, schedules to all students; 2) to employ personnel to handout schedules on Sunday, Jan. 13, when most students will be returning. I hope the corections will be made and the University will return to Issuing future schedules before the present semester ends. David Scherer Interference To the Editor: I would Ilka to object to out-rlght lying of Mr. John Fletcher statement that, "who (referring to Ayatollah Khomeini) spent 4 of his 12 years of exile in Russia,” in his letter as appeared In Dec. 3, 1979 issue of The Spectrum. I would like also to know that if he is not a rude liar, what is his source of information. During the past two years, it has been cleared by US media, that since the beginning of the exile of the Ayatollah Khomeini in 1963; he had to take residence in Turkey, and after a mass uprising in Turkey (for the support of the Ayatollah Khomeini), he was force to go on exile in Iraq. Also I beleive that at this moment, every literate person in the world knows that Ayatollah Khomeini is 100 percent ANTI-COMMUNIST. I also would like to know, how well Persian language of Mr. Fletcher is. I think he has got to know Persian very well that he can understand it with Russian accent. One more question that I ponder is that the socialimperialist government of USSR, whaalso supported the Shah, both militarily and politically (of course, not as much as US governments since President F. D. Roosevelt), during past 37 years, is very well-known by Iranian masses and they do not trust them at all: now, how foolish the Russian leaders should be to think they have the influence to intervene in Iran's internal affairs. Also, the support of the Russian government of the US government recently, shows the cooperation between these two imperialists, in order not to let a third world country to stand on her feet, independent of any superpower. At last I suggest Mr. Fletcher to follow ethics and moral behavior, and also have the courage to say and accept noting by truth. S. Mirmiran ir POSITION AVAILABLE (Stipend) Ellicotessen Asst.

The public advocate relented, not expecting to glean any more insights from the speaker. The issue: public takeover of National Fuel Gas (NFG) in Buffalo. The actors: Chuck Woods, NFG Director of Community Affairs, and Bart Bouricius, Peoples Power Coalition official and UB Urban Studies “We’ve rated highly on these audits,” the official noted. PSC also periodically holds public hearings to assess NFG’s spending and rate increase requests. PSC “used to grant everything we asked for,” Woods said, but recent grant increases have been less than SO percent of the amount requested. Woods sympathized with PSC’s pressurized role as public advocate and profit overseer, commenting “It’s like being a referee” in a match between customers and NFG officials. investment. Public takeover? Students pressed Woods to comment on a possible public takeover of NFG, Buffalo’s prime fuel supplier. (Mayor James Griffin has opposed a feasibility study on this prospect). The experienced Woods replied that the democratic system, while preferable to authoritarian forms, is “too inefficient” for a capital-intensive operation. Noting that bureaucracies constantly expand to assume difficult tasks, utilites run more of a “tight ship.” But this answer left students baffled, in light of Woods’ earlier admission that NFG’s operation was not geared to high efficiency. Woods even added that NFG’s one office in downtown Buffalo does not efficiently serve the areals 120,000 customers. Coalition member Bouricius politely disagreed with Woods, mentioning several towns and cities with public utilites that offer lower rates. The official maintained his stance, explaing that Buffalo would lose $7 million in NFG taxes. Woods also affirmed one student’s suspicion that the outlying" suburbs —such as Amherst and Cheektowaga—provide NFG’s main customer base, not the City of Buffalo. Furthermore, NFG is stuck with over $4 million in uncollected accounts in Buffalo—a problem that a public utility would also face, contended Woods. instructor. A sparse but scrutinizing group of students listened to NFG’s Woods’ free-flowing lecture on “Government Regualtion and Corporate Responsibility” last Tuesday at'Crosby Hall on the Main Street Campus. The affable Woods agreed that utilities must be regulated for the public good—but maintained that a local utility must exercise monopolistic control of energy distribution. “Utilities operate best when there’s no competition,” the NFG official said. Market control is necessary, explained Woods, very “utilities are because capital-intensive’’—requiring massive investments in pipes, roads, trucks, maintenance equipment, etc. A utility must have a reliable customer base to wisely plan such heavy Regulated profits Given the broad control necessary for long range planning, government regulation of profits by the State Public Service Commision (PSC) is understandable, said Woods. But he acknowledged that the conventional rate structure is geared toward high spending, not resource conservation. Since regulated profits are based on confpany investment, not cash earnings, a utility has no incentive to conserve and limit spending. High costs are thus built into the Many of society’s activities pose a nuclear radiation health threat. Nuclear weapons and nuclear power plants represent high-level waste, but low-level contamination seeps into lives too—from medical X-rays and storage sites such as West Valley.

He grew up agonizing and rejoicing with the New York area teams, but at the same time studying the rest of the sports world. Here is his review of a memorable decade in sports. Airlines crash in New York. The list Ladner was killed in the went on late into the decade as outfielder Lyman Bostock was shot and catcher Thurman Munson burned in an accident with his private jet. Death was common for 70’s athletes, but there were other reminders that sports and life were tied together. “I never thought the day would come when I’d ever have to quit baseball,” Willie Mays told a Shea Stadium audience in 1973. Age and injuries catch up with everybody. Dave DeBusschere, A1 Kaline and Jerry West all called it quits in the 70’s, but one retirement truly marked the end of a sports era. For most of the world, the 7Q’s was a decade of apathy, of economic hardship and conformity. The/idealistic cries of the 60’s melted into the tepid uncertainty of life andjjie dollar. Jobs became scarce, prices soared and the disillusioned world turned where it always does when the going gets rough—the mystic arena of sport. Fans poured through major league basketball, baseball and football gates in huge throngs, seeking escape and finding traces of blood in El Dorado. The Olympic flame burned for 11 valiant athletes in 1972, when terrorists kidnapped and murdered 11 Israeli athletes. The act of terrorism imprinted Munich on the minds of the world as the place where the beauty and grace of sport was contaminated by the sickness of the war. Later that year, tragedy struck again. But this time, there was nobody to blame. Roberto Clemente was on a mercy mission to earthquake' Slugs 714th home run in 1974 Biggest news ATTENTION MALES Earn $100 per month extra money We are looking for Plasma donors Plasmapheresis Program If you would like to apply please call for a Williamsville, N.Y. — - Suite 110 Hours 8*30 am -5*30 Hank Aaron—whom made history on April 9, 1974 with career homerun number 715—retired in 1975 when he could no longer perform. Aaron’s 715th was undoubtedly the most exciting sports moment of the decade. It was not the most surprising achievement—after all, it was expected for some time—but it rewrote a record that was supposed to stand forever. It was a symbol of change for all the world to see. Nothing stands forever. ' Aaron’s homer total was a career achievement —one of the greatest—but there were seasonal achievements just as noteworthy. O.J. Simpson carried the football for 2003 yards in 1973, over a mile of running through 250-pound linemen. Lou Brock became baseball’s leading burglar by stealing 118 bases in 1974, and Rod Carew hit over a hundred points above the league average in 1977, batting .388. Even the horses got in on it. Secretariat, Seattle Slew and Alydar all won racing’s triple crown in the 70’s, an intermittent honor in past decades. One-time excellence—that suddent, unexpected combination of skill and luck —popped up also. Mark Spitz stroked his way to seven gold medals at that 1972 Olympics in Munich. Reggie Jackson said, “Hi, Mom’ on national TV and added three 1977 World Series homers in one game to enhance the greeting. And Muhammad Ali played “rope a dope” for a Zaire crowd, then clobbered a stronger but exhausted George Foreman to win back his heavyweight crown in 1974. There were teams that stood above the others this decade. The New York Cosmos, with international soccer stars Pele, Franz Beckenbauer and Giorgia Chinaglia, dominated the North American Soccer League headlines and brough huge crowds to the American soccer scene. In football, the Miami Dolphins won all 17 gaipes of 1972, something no other team had done. But year after year, game after game, the Pittsburgh Steelers were the team of the 70’s, crushing the rival Oakland Raiders, Dallas Cowboys and Minnesota Vikings in almost every big game on their way to three Super Bowl victories. . 688-2716 1331 North Forest , devastated ptfcaragua. Clemente’s flight took off, sputtered a few hundred yards, anp dove to a murky grave. The two events shook an audience that prefers to get upset over double plays. Somehow it’s easier to recover from a ninth inning nailbiter than it is from the reality that life is as transient as our games. Other deaths belabored the point. Pitcher Danny Frisella died in a dune buggy crash and pitcher Don Wilson asphyxiated from carbon monoxide. Shortstop Danny Thompson died from leukemia and basketballer Wendell Campus Editor Hank Aaron of tha Atlanta Bravaa moments 1 Best and worst In hockey, the name of the game was Montreal. Les Canadiens were a real dynasty team, artists in a league of finger painters. The moustachioed Oakland A’s had the unique honor of having both the best and the worst (at least one of the worst) teams in their sport in the 70’s. Winners of three straight championships, the A’s could not adjust to the free agent era. Pro basketball didn’t produce a dynasty team of the decade, but the 61 consecutive victories the UCLA Bruins clicked off established them as a collegiate powerhouse. The NBA Lakers’ 33 straight wins and the Philadelphia 76’ers’ 9-73 record were high and low points. Sports grew in the 70’s. The American Football League merged smoothly with the NFL, and later mergers joined the American and National Basketball Associations and the World and National Hockey Leagues. Expansion brought big league teams to Seattle, Tampa Bay and Buffalo, among others stretching the number of major league teams in the five sports to well over 100. And while they were pursuing a manifest destiny of sorts, several of those sports made scoring and rule changes to increase action and draw fans. When baseball’s Ron Blomberg stepped up to the plate on opening day in 1972, he became the first “designated hitter’’ in the game’s 103 years. The DH still isn’t fully accepted, but rule changes in the other sports have won more complete>approval. The goal posts dropped back 10 yards in football, making the field goal a less common sight. And the basketball world finally agreed on the threepoint shot prior to this season. The biggest change of all hit baseball in 1975, free agency: a landslide movement that started with a legal technicality. Catfish Hunter escaped from the A’s when owner Charlie Finley neglected to pay Hunter according to his contract, and an arbitrator made him a free man. Later, Andy Messersmith challenged the reserve clause that had bound players to their teams indefinitely—and the flooflgates opened. Sell-outs The fans loved it all. Attendance in baseball, basketball, soccer, football and hockey has soared in most cities, although a few teams have suffered. Basketball has been hurt in recent years by the lack of a strong team in either New York, Chicago, Los Angeles or Boston, the major media markets. But that dilemma may end soon. In a field that has been dominated by men, women showed excellence as well in the 70’s. Olga Korbut and Nadia Comaneci performed as no men have in the 1972 and 1976 Olympics. Comaneci drew the eyes of the world with her no less than perfect performances. The Olympics were a showcase for several other female athletes. Figure skateR3brdthy=Hamill continued a tradition of American dominance that dates back to Janet Lynn and Peggy Flemming. And cyclist/speed skater Sheila Young showed that women can possess power es well as grace. Women earned prominence in tennis, as Billie Jean King and Chris Evert won match after match. Late in the decade, Tracy Austin emerged to guarantee the 80’s a net star. Nancy Lopez handled her golf clubs so well in 1978 that The New York Post picked her over Ron Guidry (25-3, 1.74) as Athlete of the year. The big breakthrough nearly came last year, when former UCLA forward Ann Meyers signed a conditional contract to play for the NBA Indiana Pacers. Meyers never played in the exhibitions, and was cut before she got a chance in the regular season. But all was not lost; Meyers signed a lucrative contract to play in the.,Women’s Basketball League recently. Now, for the winners and the losers, it’s on to the 80’s. �{ •# Ws o - im «■* \CT Il * i if Bulls lose game of hoops to Albany 66-58 man defense holding up, UB seemed headed for a tight second half. Albany’s Ray Cesare led the Great Danes on a 12-1 spurt to start the 1 second half, forcing Hughes to change his defensive strategy by 3 implementing a zone defense. “I did it because we were not able to stop them man-to-man,” Hughes explained. “I don’t think we stopped them one out of every three times. I had to do something to change the course of the game.” Buffalo was down 47-38 when Hughes made the change. With 16 secohds remaining in the contest, UB cut the gap to 64-58, the closes the locals could come. Nate Bouie, shooting 8-for-14, led the Bulls in scoring with 18 points, while MikV Freeman added 16. Buffalo lost the game at the foul-line; shooting 10-for-21 charity shots. Cesare and Winston Royal led Albany’s attack with 14 points apiece A nightmare of a year ago has been reduced to a few restless moments before falling asleep for UB men’s basketball coach Bill Hughes. 12 months ago, Hughes carted the Bulls across New York State for a battle with SUNY at Albany and regretted that they even made the trip. UB lost by 45 points. Buffalo lost to Albany again Tuesday night in Clark Hall, but the 66-58 score won’t stick with the Bulls, who now have a two-week rest before resuming play at the Christinas Tree Tournament at Indiana, Pennsylvania. _ “We lost by eight, maybe that’s doing reasonably well against the number two team in New York State,” Hughes said. “Maybe they’re not impressive to look at, but they played good basketball and showed their ? class.” Albany held a slim 37-33 margin at the half, and with Buffalo’s man-to wizard of odds I s POSITIONS AVAILABLE by Eddie Twas the night of the Superbowl, and all through the bowl, a helmet was stirring, not even the goal.

Todd'f mod odds In the mold of Britain's popular mod groups, the Who and Small Faces, Nazz eventually released a single, *'Open My Eyes," b/w "Hello It's Me" which established them as the premier psychadelic-pop group on the East coast. Hurdles arose, however, while recording the groups's second albmn in Hollywood. Mismanagement and internal conflicts tugged at Nazz' frail structure as Todd contested for a double album as the foWow-up to their impressive debut Rundgren did consider himself undisputed leader, controlling the reigns of composing, arranging and producing As it turned out, NazzNazz (1969) and Nazz III, released a year Jater, were contracted from the same session tapes and it was Todd's dogmatic approach that finally forced the band's dissipation. After a year of producing and an impressive display of engineering credits, including the Band's Stage Fright and later Cahoots albums, Bearsville, Todd's employer, decided to give him a small budget to work on a solo Ip Much to their surprise, Runt (1970), produced a top ten hit in the sprightly, innocent "We GottauOet You A Woman." The Ballad of Todd Rundgren (1971), even though loaded with-the same type material, could not equal the success of its predecessor and went on to an all-time low in record sales for Todd. Not the least bit fazed by this early set-back, Rundgren marched back into the studio and recorded his magnum opus, Something/Anything?. Todd played all instruments, sartg all vocals, arranged, produced and otherwise was in full control of the entire project, a feat almost unheard of in the rock world at that time. Thanks to "a bouquet of ear-catching melodies"—the impassioned "I Saw the Light" and a slightly funky remake of "Hello It's Me" —the double album achieved gold status in a matter of weeks. Not a bad accomplishment for a 22-year old pragmatist " A closer look at the Runt Tracing Rundgren's Utopia by Tony Grajeda Todd Rundgren once said "a clean challenge is always enjoyable/' Since music is in a constant cycle—derivatives of the past —the question of success is how well an artist can take the existing elements and synthesize them into something original. Todd is one of those abstract visionaries who stray from the label of genius but fulfill its meaning totally. Some 15 or so albums later, he has completed the task. It all started in the garages and backrooms of a none-too-exciting Philadelphia suburb, Upper Darby, (An inkling of Todd's early influences are given on the opening of side four of Something/Anythingi’l.lt was 1966 apd the hippie movement was sky high out on the West coast bu\had yet to unfold in the East Thus, Todd's first band of recognition, Woody's Truck Stop, a jamming-blues band ala Creatful Dead, became extremely popular with the underground artist/drug scene of Philly. It was here that Todd hooked up with Paul Fishkin, eventually Bearsville Records' corporate president and Rundgren's future manager But glory was not to come this route A wizard The only help received on Something!Anything? was a hodge-podge of local session players on side four's facetious pop operetta entitled, "Baby Needs a New Pair of Snakeskin Boots." Recorded entirely live without overdubs, Todd somehow even controlled the mixing board while jumping from piano to guitar. The success and critical acclaim of Something/Anything? had an effect on Todd that most couldn't understand. After some experimenting in mind-expanding drugs and the building of his own studio, Secret Sound, in New York, the enigmatic A Wizard, A True Star emerged in 1973 About the shelving (temporarily) of his pop eclecticism, Todd remarked a few-years ago in an interview: "I changed my style so radically on the next album because it just became too simple to write songs like that, almpst mechanical I didn't feel I was doing myself creative justice." Rundgren did alienate himself from the AM crowd's potential record buyers, but he didn't seem to mind. From here on in it would be 150,000 vehemently dedicated fans (if record sales are any indication) buying each album "out on the racks again," and it is that hand-full of followers he adoringly rewards in little ways. In a poster in Todd, comprised of names of fans sent in on postcards from Wizard, to the fold-out Utopia pyramids and endless appreciatory liner notes on the jacket* From Initiations came almost 70 minutes of music to one of the most extravagant and exciting live shows ever accumulated, including Todd's dive from atop the pyramidical structure on the Ra tour. Fie doesn't do it to gain fans but to show his gratitude. And does anyone remember that free concert at Chestnut Ridge Park a few years back by Todd and the gang? Elegical pathos It was here too, during the electronic explorations of Wizard, that Utopia-was first contrived. Starting out as an idealistically spiritual order, Utopia, Todd's first group since the Nazz days, would go through many phases but always with Rundgren as its foundation and inspiration. Todd, released in 1974, again carried the by-now famous Rundgren epithet: writer,-arranger, producer and engineer. Personally, this is probably my favorite Todd Ip for no other reason than its selfindulgent nature. There isn't a low spot on the double album. The interesting synthesized tracks of ."Sidewalk Cafe" and "Spark of Life" are vivacious and intricate There is-the usual elegical pathos in The Last Ride, I Think You Know," and "A Dream Goes on Forever," but never to the extreme of becoming maudlin. The outrageous contumacy of "Heavy Metal Kids" —two years before the punk movement erupted in England-is reproached in the beautifully touching Don t You Ever Learn" and, seemingly the theme of Utopia, an exhilarantly gospelish "Sons of 1984 A pattern of group-solo efforts followed that actually has no explanation save for Todd's yearning of further creativity. Todd Rundgren s Utopia, containing a powerful live song of the same title, was followed by 1975's Initiation and the classic hit, "Real Man."

His character is one of those in which the demeanor of the role does half the job of winning over the audience However, Mr Paravicini, another comical character, is too affected to have on stage as often as he is In "Three blind mice, see how they run the old nursery rhyme goes. The mice, victims in the perennial thriller The Mousetrap, will be running about the Studio Arena stage until January 5. The Mousetrap, which started as a small Agatha Christie radio-skit,-is-now in its 27th year on the London stage, and has been on stages throughout the world. The whodunit, set in a guest house in the English countryside, has a caravan of travellers arrive at the house just as a storm seals them off from the outside world. While the young couple running the fledging establishment struggle to make a go of it, they find themselves having to deal with an enraged murderer among them Despite the presence of the police, murder still is served up almost as an appetiser before dinner. In all, the setup is one that the irrepressible Miss Christie proved herself to be most comfortable with. another production of The Mousetrap, the mysterious Italian stranger in the play, Mr Paravinci, was played with a continental flair. In the Arena production, he seems to be a refugee from' a spaghetti comedy. The flaw that drew aggravated groans was the jarring shifts from one accent to another as actors tried to recall whether they were supposed to be High English or Cockney, Celtic or Welsh Even a bit of southern drawl intruded into the production as Detective Sergeant Trotter (Franklin Kiser) mosed across the set. The other performers, such as Major Metcalf, must have thought they had better bluster through on their individual missions and not react to the gaffes being perpetrated on the stage. While that minimized the appearance of the defects, regretably that could not eradicate them. Show still rough It seems that the present production of The Mousetrap needs the finetuning that a few more days' of rehearsal could bring. Directed by Warren Enters, the production, at least as of Thursday, had, for example, one of the main female characters, Mollie Ralston (Joyce Fidor) refer to another character, Mrs. Boyle by the name of a third character, Mr. Wren. This happens on a high school stage, at least the audience, relatives of the cast, can laugh it off, but on a professional stage, this sort of boffo is amateurish l» that thing loaded? Years In India does Major Metcalf good Alone this might be seen as an isolated, unfortunate incident, however the profusion of muffed lines and characters with little depth even for cardboard-thin roles points to a slap-dash job in the mounting of this play. While the Arena audience was for the most part enthralled by the production (one man exclaimed to his partner daring the tnterm ission that the break caught him by surprise, the action was that bracing). Arena stands the risk of stunting its dramatic growth by appealing to the least common denominator of competency sought by an audience. A production should have quality in excess of the minimal demands of its audience, which in this setting may just be happy to be out of the home. Spaghetti comedy Christopher Wren (Robert Burke) Christie's strength While theaterically the production seemed to be a case of the blind leading the blind, the audience for the most part enjoyed The Mousetrap That the audience could still commend the play after its mishandling seems to me to be a tribute to the simple, yet effective structure "Miss Christie gave her whodunnit.

Artists' stand at Alamo Work by WHY women on campus iy Ralph Allen The nevy art exhibit at the Alamo Gallery in Beck Hall on the Main Street Campus presents us with a chance to reappraise what's going on with art done by women —sometimes it's mistakenly called women's art. The show, sponsored by the Western New York Women's Art Registry, has works from 19 of its members at the gallery on display. The Registry, a group of professional female artists, devotes itself to increasing the exposure professional female artists Early in this decade, and in the late sixties, the women's rights movement drew attention to the practices of that bastion of white American male supremacy, mainstream American art. Upon the appearance of female artists asserting themselves in such groundbreaking shows as the Armory show at the Whitney Museum, a school of art criticism sprung up, one which attempted to "reduce" what was going on. Under the banner that all art produced by women had to relate back to the vagina, the orgasm, cadres of art critics and historians began assaults to cubbyhole this art. Now many years later, some things have changed regarding how art by female artists is viewed and handled, but many things remain infuriatingly the same. Firsthand view First take a look at the art on hand. The first thing that struck me regarding the show is the profusion of media in use. Painting, sculpture;-textiles and ceramics are among the meefia used For the contrast between a delicate ceramic vase and the painting next to it is much, welcome Although the space is small, pains have been taken so the each work does not infringe upon the space each piece demands Amy Hamouda's clear plastic bullets (Seed Bullet Series: Claws and Hair) are alive, but not the way stuffed animals are ferociously so Yet they both use parts of dead animals They are unsettling Among the works that a few years ago would have invited reduction vis vaginal imagery might have been Suzanee Ross' work of concentric irregular ovals, or even Grace McKendry's painting of a cabbage. However, at the opening last Friday, the viewers did not fall to that mode of thought. Each work seemed to get the chance to stand on its own merits rather than to have to carry the aesthetic millstone of vaginal imagery around its neck When one of the exhibitors was asked whether segregating the art of these women invited appraisal along the lines of vaginal inference, she stated flatly that the Registry does even consider that possibility. When such clarity of vision can become the standard, so that no art has to be saddled with standards other than those that apply to all art, then maybe we will remove the blinders that for so long have restricted our Kastman's ‘Falsa Quill Sarias No. 18* On wall ol gallery hard to beat undulates even when the overall surface of the piece remains flat. In fact, her work Red Sand is breath-taking for it must approach quite daringly the qualities she is striving for. Such is the impact when viewing a high degree of mastery over a medium. Ellen Steinfield's The Ceramic Woman also stood out for it's wide appeal. With Kassman's False Quilt Series No. 19 next to it, that wall of the gallery is hard to beat .However, the greatest point to stress regarding this show is that no one piece is embarrassingly weak; proving that a women's registry does not constitute an aesthetic ghetto, hobbled by having to operate within the constraints of sex That the need for the organization is still felt by some, however, is unfortunate. Ideally, the time will come when such an organization will find itself patently obsolete. However, none of the women I spoke with saw that day coming soon An artist in the show, Melita Brecher, said, "I'm from Finland, and there women have been integrated into the society for a long time so we don't have this sort of group," referring to the Registry. I hope soon the art community will integrate these artists the same way.. Women's art may constitute an aesthetic, like Abstract Expressionism or Social Realism does. Art by women does not. appreciation.

We would all by lying. When you can't capitalize on third row seats in Memorial Auditorium because some bearded gent in his late twenties wants to put his feet up and relax at a Who concert, you know there's something wrong. Or perhaps I have a perverted notion of audience participation? To say that The Who's Buffalo appearance was great, . magnificent or otherwise i? redundant. The Who don't put on bad performances and they haven't in 15 years. 15 years. 15 years of survival. Damn it, this is what The Who are about w . SURVIVAL. The survival of rock and roll despite the loss of drummer Keith Moon The survival of the spirit of youthful stamina within the aging shadow of Pete Townshend. The survival of the will to perform immedfately after an incident that would have knocked any other group light years back. And this guy behind me presses his hand on my shoulder in hopes of forcing me back intdjny seat, it was ironic. The show opened with snips from the movie version of Quadrophenia: mods and rockers ablaze in the streets of Chelsea, the infamous brawls on King's Road that even today finds punks and teddy boys at each other's throats, the whole notion that 10 years later has gone full cycle.

Cocola The Starship Enterprise is bigger and better, but the crew members are older. Captain Kirk has been promoted to Admiral, while Scotty spots a moustache The control bridge has been j rearranged, and many are wearing "new and improved" uniforms of dacron polyester. Otherwise, Star Trek has made an externally recognizable and much ballyhooed return after a decadelong absence There is little overdone. This is due to the split between the music and the visuals of the film. In Stanley Kubrick's classic 2001: A Space Odyssey, special effects flowed brilliantly with the fluid melody of Strauss' "Blue Danube Waltz In Star Trek, the special effects are hindered by Jerry Goldsmith's repetitive and melodramatic score. Such unimaginative background music would be more appropriate for something like The Creature From the Black Lagoon, not Star Trek. reason to celebrate, however, as the conversion and update of this popular television series to the silver screen presents major problems for producer Gene Roddenberry and the Star Trek crew. For example, Star Trek: The Movie is able to utilize more special effects than the TV series These effects are more complicated than the ones used by Star Wars, and at first glance, are very appealing to the eye. Yet many effects, like "the mysterious cloud," are often The ctep beyond.. The characters are aged, and it might be difficult for a "trekkie" to accept these seemingly new characters after viewing reruns for ten years. This identity crisis is magnified instead of alleviated by the lack of dialogue within the plot Every once in a great we are treated to a playful quarrel between Dr McCoy and Spock, but most of the dialogue, or rather monologue, is simply Admiral Kirk barking out orders. It is nice to know that McCoy is “O " still crazy after all these years, but it also would be nice to have more verbal exchange Dialogue helps bring about the little things in film, like plot and character development, two areas which are weak in this movie. Yet Star Trek succeeds because it makes a conscious attempt to tell a true science fiction movie.

Albright-Knox mounts show iy Brad Bermudez Color. Before you can make any judgements about structure or theme, you have to deal with the artists' use of color. Sometimes it is brilliant, flowing color, juxtaposed to construct rigid grid-like patterns or free-flowing impressions. Such is the case with Piero/ Dorazio. Dorazio's paintings are alive with vibrant reds, greens, yellows and blue*. The retrospective exhibition of his work at the Albright-Knox highlights several distinct phases of the distinguished artist's career, demonstrating how his unique use of color has progressed from the late 1940's to the present. Dorazio's paintings are abstract but they never really lose touch with the contributions of his predecessors, from the impressionists to the constructivists. It is this affirmation of the relation of art to its past that makes Dorazio's work more accessible than many of the esoteric canvases of the abstract expressionists, who seek to sever the ties between contemporary art and its roots. For instance, the profound influence of Picasso and Kandinsky is evident in Dorazio's early works "Fisionomia della Cattedral di Praza" (1947) "Dimensiona Concreta" (1949) and "Grande Sintesti" (1950). Bold overlapping geometric forms are rendered in bright hues with a distinct use of outline that is absent from his later works. Color, color everywhere Pure color begins to define form in Dorazio's works from the mid-50's. The more uniformly patterned color units, looking like some sort of printed circuit in "Conversazione Telefoncia con Ulan Bata" (1954) and the irregular, softy hued squares of "Bene Kaisimiro" bring to mind the constructivist works of Mondrian and Diller. A curious abandonment of concrete forms and bright colors is evident in Dorazio's work from the late 50's. Tightly woven, non-uniform grids of pastel colors suggest magnified views of cloth in works such as "Tantalo T" (1958-59) and "Matter of Monologue" (1959). Underneath these clothlike grids are small patches of bright color, that seem ready to explode across the canvas as they do in nis later works The loosely painted monochrome grid paintings of the late 50's give way to rigorously constructed, multicolored grids of the mid-60's. Dorazio utilized a series of uniformly patterned grids in "Lento Die" (1963) and "Oltre Due Metri" (1964). He rendered these grids in varying hues and planes, suggesting a layered effect Vibrant colors began to explode on I,: J - . c. ■ r-, p- I *< Dorado In hit studio ‘Staccato’ 1077 on the easel Dorazio's canvases as he continued to experiment with grids, interlocking planes, and interwoven shapes. "La Fortuna in Mente" (1965) consists of a series of overlapping X's rendered in bright reds, oranges, yellows and blues on a green background. "Senza Ombrew" (1966) is a literal cascade of flowing reds, blues, yellows and greens. Randomly shaped colors are interspersed with linear elements in Puzzle II" (1968) and "Alma Prima" (1969), giving a-collage effect. Rendered in bright hues, these latter 60's works resemble dissected political maps. Not in imitation of Geometric shapes in varying colors are arranged in a linear manner on Dorazio's carfvases from the early 70's. The broken, horizontal lines of "Hashi II" (1973) and "Santis" (1974) resemble bamboo stalks. The curved flow of colored shapes in "Mnemi" (1975) suggests movement beyond the canvas. This dynamic quality pervades most of Dorazio's mature work The canvases of the 70's represent the artist's most successful integration of color and form. Works such as "Simulacra" (1975), "Staccato" (1977) and a "Peaceful Solution" (1977) demonstrate Dorazio's most strictly controlled use of color to define "structure. Capsule shapes, varying in size and color, are arranged in a roughly linear horizontal pattern over a monochrome background. The result is a shimmering vibrant canvas that captures all the elusive qualities of light in nature. These luminous canvases call to mind impressionistic views of sunlight on the surface of water. The impressionistic quality of Dorazio's late 70's paintings serves as an acknowledgement, but by no means an imitation, of the past. He employs the principles of color juxtaposition to create a mood, a sensation or an atmosphere in which art for art's sake thrives. Abstract, it still remains comprehensible. % �g *Todd , _ / —continued from paga IS— o. that song's inspiration, refer to the Bible's 1 Corinthians 13:11.) Essentially, this is the height (and climax) of Todd's synthesized works in sonic illusions and electronic embodiments. Initiation's second side is a 36-minute epic of frantic instrumental congestions the notoriously elaborate "A Trealise On Cosmic Fire." Archetypal Rah, rah! Ra, the group's euphoric album, presented an ascent into fantasy based on Egyptian mysticism, highlighted by the allegorical fairy tale, "Singring and the Class Guitar." Contrarily, Wrong Planet was grimly realistic, protesting against governments and corporate oppressors, and cursing the plights of cities, pushers and superficial lovers. The road concept of these tours was a total emersion for Todd, but sure enough another solo record was in the works Back to the Bars is an intimate journey through his career with the past and present Utopias and several other musicians and friends lending a hand for the reminiscent collection. Todd's knack for writing inescapable melodic etudes is the essence of 1979's solo adventure, Hermit of Mink Hollow. While lyrical consciousness is on a somewhat conventional level, his wizardry is released in an incredible display of studio technology. Practically every track shines of melodic vividness: a rhapsody of high harmonies and instrumental gloss. Where Rundgren's past solo albums received a minimal amount of help from sympathetic friends L Hermit was recorded with, the assistance of absolutely no one. Yes, composed, arranged, played, sung, engineered and produced by none other than Todd Rundgren. Todd does not allow his own style to affect the many performers he produces, including such diverse acts as Hall and Oates, Meatloaf, the Tubes, Rick Derringer and the Tom Robinson Band. Yet he, himself, is constantly probing for new opportunities at creative elevations. His own video studio brought forth two Rundgren works —impressionistic films of appealing fantasy that were shown on the Wrong Planet tour. In a passionless world, he provides the daring stimulation of not only aural excitement but visual expression as well. Rundgren will probably never attain the stature of a Lennon, a TowniWrtd, a Davies or a Bowie, but he is happy with his present level. Todd is a die-hard idealist, always reaching for the highest aspirations, yet honestly content with his purpose as an inspiration for those of us who relate and are still in search f"~ The Breeze - The Poodles Think Pink' Caught in pretensions by Pat Carrington The Sinceros/ The Sound of Sunbathmg/fColumbia) The Fabulous Poodles/ Think Pink{ Epic) Pop, Rock 'n Roll, New Wave —call it what you will, there'd an awful lot of that type of music around these days. We could nuke the Knack, but there's be much more of the same where that came from —beat the Beat, perhaps? The people from Stiff and their counterparts provide an abundance of good music, and all this combines to put the market near its saturation point. It takes a particularly special something, then, to really be able to make it big right now. The Sinceros, formerly Stiff star Lena Lovich's backup band, don't quite have what it takes. Their debut album, The Sound of Sunbathing, contains quite a few catchy pop songs, the kind you can find yourself singing before they're through their first playing. Their lyrics have a sense of humor, particularly in their rendering: "I can't forget makin' love on a motorbike/Tve never been so uncomfortable in my life/l still have that pain in the back/l STILL MISS YOU." Their music taps several different styles, among them R&B, reggae, and basic fifties-type rock and roll, and they boast very good vocals—amazingly smooth for a band of their kind. There's no gravelly-voiced singer, no anger here,— ’■ - In H (Near Englewood) # A Jfr (j A 7 Nights A Week!

They try too hard, and their songs strive for such a Sixties' feel that they sound, in tunes such as "Hanging on Too Long," like the early Crass Roots. That's pop without the power, bland, and that's not good.. When they attempt to be futuristic, as in "Take Me to Your Leader" and "Worlds Apart," they're reminiscent of the Cars. They seem to want so much to be popular that they've chosen to emulate what has already worked, rather than putting their energies into developing a sound of their own. The result is often predictable, and sometimes boring. The Sinceros,have sufficient ability, however, to ensure that The Sound of Sunbathing will hold its own in the slew of albums we're being deluged with I I at present. next time. It just won't stand out, that's alt. Maybe * . With the Fabulous Poodles, the story is the exact reverse Their first album. Mirror Stars, was one of my favorites of the year. It was amusing, clean and catchy, and Bobby Valentino's electric violin added a special spark that gave the Poodles a brand of music all their own. I was really looking forward to more of the same. Their most recent effort, Think Pink, proved to be a great disappointment. It sounds almost as though they thought their first album was too cute, so they decided to muddy this one up a bit —add more guitars, make the choruses less noticeable and the vocals more difficult to understand, and so on. The songs are all very faddish, with titles like “Anna Rexia," “Vampire Rock," and "Bionic Man," and not one of them stands out as being particularly worth listening to If even a couple of their tunes showed any of the life of their previous efforts, the album might be worth having—but that's not the case. "Pink City Twist," which would seem to be more or less their theme song, sounds a lot like something else done several years ago (which was quite forgettable, since I can't remember its name) and features an obnoxious chick shrilling "Think Pink, Cod damn Think Pink!" in your ear. Are they being obscene, or is this supposed to be Poodle Propaganda? Subliminal seduction? How about a pretentious waste of time? It's unTortun’aTe'smce the Poodles have proven that they really can have what it takes. Tantrum, Rather be Rockin' (Ovation) If you made me listen to this album again, I'd have one (a tantrum, that is). About the only thing this group has going for them is the fact that a couple of them are good-looking (obviously an angle they're trying to use, from the appearance of 3 the record jacket) They need all the help they can get. Their lyrics are puerile, the keyboardist only knows one key, and they seem tojiave nothing new to offer the world of rock and roll (except the girl singers have strong voices, but Heart they ain't. And I don't even like'Heart). / ' , Todd Rundgren's Utopia, Another Live was the next stop in his insatiable need for musical expression. But after extremely disappointing sales figures for the Ip, Warner Brothers (Bearsville's subsidiary) demanded that Todd clean up his act and produce some hits. Faithful (1976) was the result and revealed an interesting concept of empathy on Todd's part. One side consists of note perfect renditions of such archetypal 60 s classics as "Strawberry Fields Forever" and "Good Vibrations." While the original side approached his interpretations of those influences in such tunes as "Love of the Common Man" and the energetic "Black and White." Faithful didn't attempt to reach the etheral heights of Wizard or Initiation but again was proof of Todd's unpretentious yet amazing metamorphosis of musical states. The final line-up of Utopia also took place about this time; Roger Powell (Rundgren's synthesizer tutor hack on Todd) on keyboards and trumpet, then 18-year old Kasim Sulton on bass and long-time comrade John Wilcox on drums All of them sang and wrote material, which was something for which Todd had been searching for quite some time —a band that is more important as a unit than any single member. The next two years would be marked by Utopia's extensive touring with extraordinary stage show. The albums Ra (1977) and Oops! Wrong Planet (1978), while both thematically different, were almost entirely performance inspired. That is to say, most of the material was developed live first �Uncle Jam Wants you' Clinton's by Harold Goldberg Funkadelics, Uncle Jam Wants You (Warner Bros.) *0 of, IE P-funk beasts.

If the male has "ants in the pants" and "needs to dance/' the getting-it-on is a ritual even if it's with a freak. Maybe it's boring because the vocals are repetitive hooks and maybe it's a funky fantasy because the music is so energized Because Clinton puts drummer Speedfeet Lampkin in the background (he lost Jerome Brailey to Mutiny), I wonder of he's really freed his ass and let his mind follow.

Swartz, Overrecording is a serious problem in the classical record industry. Year after year, record companies persist in coming out with new versions of old warhorses which have been recorded dozens of times What's worse is that in order to justify this rehashing of favorites (at the expense of neglected newer music), each new release features some gimmick designed to entice the collector into subsidizing the latest milestone in entrepreneurial idiocy.

There are few surprises in the second and third movements, only some fine playing and sensitive interpretations. The real threat is the final movement.

Jefferson Starship changes orbit • n C fP®l||]| J==pL Summer or semester jobs for college students with government, private industry and nonprofit organizations in the environmental field. For internships in Ohio, Michigan, Indiana and Western Pennsylvania: EIP/Lower Great Lakes 332 The Arcade Cleveland, OH44114 Freedom at Point Zero, Jefferson Starship's latest IP on RCA, has been receiving a lot of attention and for two very good reasons First, it contains the hit song "Jane" which is now topping the charts for the second week. Secondly, Freedom at Point Zero is the Starship's first journey without its most famous crew member Grace Slick. And for those who thought there could be no "Starship" without her, well they, along with the rest of us, are maybe a little more than just surprised This album not only shows that the group can still fly, but it proves they can soar to altitudes which they have at times steered away from —namely rock. Further personnel changes for the Starship include a new drummer, Aynsley Dunbar, and Marty Balin's replacement. Mickey Thomas on vocals Thomas does the lead vocals on most of the tracks and deserves a good deal of credit for how much we don’t miss Gracie. His voice has a high quality and in songs like "Jane" and "Rock Music" climbs to the heights she once did in her earlier years. One of the only "air-pockets" I hit when listening to the album is that "Jane" is undoubtedly the best cut Not that this makes the disc bad, it's just that "Jane" is the first track and brings one's ) expectations up to a level that is never quite satisfied for the rest of the LP In fact, it puts the rest of the first side to shame "Lightning Rose," which follows it, sounds like a "60's number from some musical like "Hair." It adds diversity but, nonetheless, is a come-down. A starpoint for the lefferson Starship is that their initial takeoff on every song is very earthy. One tune starts with a drum solo another with a synthesizer, and "Just the Same" begins with a heavy drum and guitar stint proceeded by what sounds like the intro to "Tubular Bells." Sometimes, as in this case, the tune is a letdown but in others, like the snappy "Rock Music," they keep the takeoff energy going. Harmony is also a definite <£set for them. Their vocals alternate effectively between solo and harmony and sometimes include lead guitar licks as an additional "vocalist." "Awakening" is a good example of this, although in certain songs the solo voice is not used enough to provide a good textural contract. "Girl With the Hungary Eyes" is likely to get radio play although it's not as worthy as "Fading Lady Light" —a really pleasant ballad with fine vocal blends and tastefully executed organ and guitar. The title track closes the LP in an appropriately rocky way Paul Kanter, who has done rhythm guitar and vocals for the group since the first 'Jefferson Airplane" album, has really come to life on the Composing end of music, having written half of the nine songs on their new LP Lead guitarist Craig Chaquico and bassist/keyboardist Pete Sears composed the other half. ; & Lucian C.Parlato Attorney at -Law* Although one might imagine great musical diversity stemming from these facts there is, tropically enough, a common ray of mystery lasting its path through nearly every track After is Jane? Fading Lady Light? Lightning Rose? The or Girl with the Hungary Eyes? I don't think the mystery is really such a mystery; and although the songs may be tributes to some lady they all knew and loved, her absence seems to bring them promise rather than regret: "Now by the light shining through from within we'll find our way back tb the stars again,'' Eileen Lee — The Ashes of ELF Eclecticism sets in the West It's Christmas —the time of shopping, gift-giving, and hastily thrown-together albums trying to reach the stores in time to cash in on the desperate consumer. Well, in that case, it's a good thing Emerson, Lake and Palmer have released their new live album, ELP—IN Concert, now because that's the only reason anyone would buy it—desperation! The album is not a double album, which I suppose makes it more affordable for the thrifty shopper, but it is nevertheless a ripoff. And in this day' and age of the double-live album, it almost seems absurd to put a live album out with only six tracks, especially when considering the repertoire this trio possesses. The group starts the album with what they call the "Intro Fanfare"; a 51 second period of members of the road crew, 23 technicians, 14 member faint applause, droning synthesizer, and an occasional administration, 60-piece orchestra, six singers, and the trumpet blast. Fanfare? They move on to their familiar three members of the band, while rendition of "Peter Gunn." In this the other side of the sleeve displays the panoramic photo of song there are no vocals and no the more than 100 member guitar, just a booming bass and Emerson's fantastic keyboards caravan. All this was obviously that repeatedly save the album done before ELP had to dismiss from being a total waste. "Tiger most of the troup half wayin a Spotlight" is Greg Lake's first through the tour, because of the chance to vocalize and he does it exhorbitant bills they were incurring. The pioneering attempt well, bopping along with the was a credit to Emerson, Lake interesting and often intricate and Palmer: the album is not drumming of Carl Palmer. The highlight of the album is "The Enemy Cod" is supposedly Emerson's moment to "C'est La Vie," (not so much a credit to this album, but rather to shine on the keyboards and "Works" from which it originally although he does some came). Lake's vocals are steady interesting things, it's not dazzling. Actually, he does and the first sign of guitar is a engage in some nicer moves in welcome change This is also the first opportunity that their "the next tune Edge" with 60-piece orchestra gets to the orchestra, but Lake's vocals prevent the song from coming to C9ntribute something to the any worth. album.

However, if concertos aren't your thing, forget it. The second, and last track is entitled, “Pictures at an Exhibition" and spotlights various sections of the orchestra. It's difficult to give my opinion on this songf?) because I never really made it through the full 15 minutes it spans. I can tell you, though, that the first seven or eight minutes are boring, yawnproducing, and sleep-inducing However, if you can last through that it seems to pick up a bit. I think one would have to be a real ELP fan (make that’fanatic), to like this album. It is an especially sad case when one remembers the incredible project of "Works," volumes I and II, that the band respectfully laid on last year's anxious December market. The moral of this story, therefore, is: "ELP—In Concert" is better off left in the store and off your list. , >• � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

However, a take-over of the county hospital was not imminent, he explained. In the meantime, the County Legislature is trying to figure out what it should do with the Erie County Medical Center. It is in the process of forming a blue county Medical Center: seized by State? by Stephen Bogorad Spectrum Staff Writer A possible State take-over of the financially troubled Erie County Medical Center “could utterly wreck the prospects for continuing momentum on construction (on Amherst) and rehabilitation (on Main Street),” Faculty Senate Chairman Newton Garver. Carver’s concern stems' from the goal of some New York City legislators to have Brooklyn Jewish Hospital taken over by the State. Upstate legislators—unwilling to help New York City unilaterally—will undoubtedly seek some form of a trade-off before voting in favor of any legislation authorizing a State take-over of the Brooklyn hospital. Garver believes that upstate legislators will probably ask the State to assume control—and funding—of Erie County Medical Center. If such a move is made, the medical center will probably be given to the UB Medical School as a teaching hospital, he said. The only one The UB medical school is the only one in the State without a teaching hospital of its own—so it appears that a State take-over would benefit the University. If the medical school is forced to move some of its facilities off of the Main Street Campus, vacant space will become available for other departments in the University. However, a new Master Plan would have tb be drawn up for the Main Street Campus and Carver claims that until then, all construction and rehabilitation would be suspended. A State take-over of the Erie County Medical Center is not the only concession that upstate legislators may ask for. “There may have to be some exchange, but it doesn’t necessarily mean that concessions upstate will have to be the same as those downstate,” commented Tim Treanor, council “to State Senator Walter" Floss (R., Amherst). Upstate legislators might ask for an accderated building program at UB or for some direct relief to the ribbon committee to study the problem. The committee will consider a number of alternatives, including both a State and a private takeover of the hospital. “I personally feel the realignment of Erie County Medical Center and the University is the right way to go,” said William A. Pauly, chairman of the Public Health Committee in the County Legislature. ‘‘By having the University take-over the medical center and manage it, the research component of medical education would really flourish,” he added. But Garver commented, “The question is whether we will be allowed to lake Erie County Medical Center as a teaching hospital without utilizing what the State considers available space.” The State, he said, might regard all of the old buildings as available space. “That would create real problems,” he pointed out. Carver’s concern is not that the University will be forced to move its clinical departments into the medical center, but that it will be forced to move out academic departments as well. According to Dean of the Medical School John Naughton, such a move could not be made immediately. “You wouldn’t just be able to defacto move all of our elements over in one year—it would require 10 to 20 years of transition,” he remarked. Vacant space on Main Street and the cost of moving facilities to the Erie County Medical Center arc not the only problems that the Urtiversity might face. “It’s fine to have a teaching hospital, provided that certain conditions are met,” said Carver. He maintained that the University must not be saddled with hospital operating deficits that would force it to “bleed” other units. Carver emphasized that hospital deficits should not be charged to the operating budget. The fate of both Brooklyn Jewish Hospital and Erie County Medical Center remains unknown. The basis for the decision, Naughton said, may not be academic. “It will be resolved based on economic and political, not educational considerations,” he commented. Long and four months late SA Constitution is complete by Joe Simon Campus Editor A new Student Association (SA) Constitution has finally been completed, but it will not go into effect —at the very least—until mid-way through next semester, four months past a deadline set last Spring. The SA Constitution Committee is presently finalizing its work, and should have the document typed up this week according to Chairman and SA Executive Vice President Doug Floccare. The Constitution will be reviewed by Group Legal Services and the Student Wide Judiciary early next month. The new student government framework will then be discussed by the SA Senate, which has the power to amend any section of the Constitution. Floccare said this is the stage that will determine how quickly the document will be ready~/for a student referendum, the last step before it can take affect. “1 can’t predict how long the Senate will debate it,” Floccare noted, “but 1 can’t see them finishing before February.” Committee member Bob Lombardi said the Constitution may not reach a student vote until March or April. April elections? In a student referendum held last Spring, the existing Constitution was abolished because of displeasure with the SA Senate, which was accused of exceeding the bounds of its jurisdiction. That referendum stipulated that a new charter be put up for a student vote by November 30, 1979. Lombardi said the Committee began meeting over the summer, but did not accomplish anything until September. He added that the Constitution was almost completed in mid-November, but the introduction of another legislative body—-the single biggest addition prolonged Committee discussion. This new legislative body, to be called the Assembly, will be open to all students who fulfill a petition requirement, Floccare said the Assembly will "hopefully free a group of people to address a lot of issues that the Senate can’t get to,” such as general education and academic planning. Floccare noted that the Senate would have been able to take a vote of confidence in President Robert L. Ketter much sooner than it did had there been an Assembly. If the new Constitution is ratified by the student body, elections will be held for the new Senate. Although this could conceivably be as late as March or April, Floccare said he — ' sa~w nothing w wrong i holding elections—for senators who would hold office only one or two months— at that late date. “1 think it makes sense to get this whole thing going/’ he explained, “and that is the most important time of the year,” Budget allocations for SA Organizations are determined in April. Committee member Hitesh Hathi said the new Constitution, with the' Assembly addition, “will give students more direct input” into SA decisions. Fie noted that an important aspect of the new charter prevents any Constitutional amendments voted by the Senate from taking effect until the end of that semester. “This will prevent the Senate from amending the Constitution for their own benefit,” Hathi claimed, “which happened last year.” He said by having all amendments Inside: Former SA Pres makes good—P. 6 / SA Executive Vice President Doug Floccare ‘I can't predict how long the Senate will debate It delayed until the end of the semester, it will give Senators “time to think about what they did.” Lombardi said the new Constitution, drawn up after the Committee reviewed between 50 and 100 other charters, should .remain for “at least a couple of years,” until “it no longer works effectively.” Lombardi’s only disagreement with new government concerns the position of Director of Academic Affairs. Previously elected by the student body, the Director will now be Boozing it up—P. 7 / appointed by the SA President and approved by the Senate, as with the Directors of Student Affairs, External Affairs and the Director for Sub-Board I, which were previously elected positions. Lombardi said the office of Academic Affairs “deals more with philosophy” than other positions, and should be directly chosen by students. Lombardi said that if the student body does not ratify the new Constitution, which he does not expect to happen, “it would be quite a blow, another half-year of head scratching.” Father knows best—P. 9 / Net loss—P. 13 �M \ } a. jobs, by Seth Goodcfaild City Editor E The Courier Express has named a new president; one with a distinguished background. Roger P. Parkinson—who will assume his duties in February—is currently the Vice-President of the Washington Post. Parkinson will also carry the title of Publisher. His first announcement was that James P. Shaffer would be his “right hand man” as Associate Publisher. Shaffer is now Acting Publisher. The Courier Express was recently purchased- by a large chain, the Minneapolis Star and Tribune Company, which owns papers and television stations nationwide and has a 32 percent interest in Harper and Row. The State-wide Transportation Bond Act— passed in November— will enable the City to realign its rail system and rail yards. The $500 million Bond Act will commit more money to the City than did the 1974 Act. Close to $32 million will be made available to improve railroad passenger and freight service between Buffalo and Schenectady. The Act will also enable the City to keep the Buffalo and Southwestern branch railroad in operation. Buffalo was at one time the second largest railroad facility in the country and Mayor Griffin believes the Act will “insure Buffalo’s stature as a major railroad center.” Another $1 million will be allocated to improve City streets and the Buffalo terminal. In a blantantly political move, Mayor James D. Griffin vetoed a pay raise for Buffalo Comptroller Robert E. Whelan and blasted the official in the process. Whelan has been the most frequently mentionedrival for Griffin in 1981 and has refused to discount the possiblility of challenging the Mayor. Whelan—who made the raise request —was recently elected by a huge margin last November and is considered a very real threat by City i ,s< ***'•'•-■ political analysts. Griffin attacked Whelan's request, which he termed “a case of out and out greed.” Griffin maintained that the Comptroller’s salary—about 535,000—was “equitable”, considering the “lack of professional requirements” needed for the job. •Whelan said he felt he was deserving of the $2000 hike because of the amount of time needed to put City finances in order. He cited other such officials who received higher salaries but held relatively similar Finally The County legislature has approved Executive Edward Rutkowski’s budget, but not without some haggling. Okaying the close to $500 million proposal on the last possible day, the legislature lopped an additional $.30 off the tax rate. The legislature did not change Rutkowski’s appicpriations significantly, adding about $235,000 for the South Park Botanical Gardens. In addition, they cut $150,000 from the budget earmarked for the Medical Center. Democrats—who had made use of the center’s difficulties for their political attacks,|ast November—were instrumental in cutting seven new positions and other building upgradings. The Democrats were also able to increase the yearly clothing allowance to foster parents for the care of children, but were unable to make any additional increase for certain cultural programs.

Released sometime Some 200 protestors demonstrated December 3, stopping buses fi leaving the Main Street Campus and forcing UB administrators to examine affirmative action practices here. A list of 14 demands was subrAitted that day to University President Robert L. Ketter and a statement on behalf of blacks and other minorities was formally delivered Tuesday evening. According to a source who asked not to be identified, the administration had the draft of its response Friday and planned on releasing a final form Tuesday. Associate Vice President for Student Affairs Anthony F. Lorenzetti said Monday afternoon, however, that material from his office had not yet been submitted and therefore doubted whether any final response could be delivered that day. The source said that Assistant to the President Ronald Stein had the draft and planned on showing it to “appropriate people.” Stein could not be reached for comment: however, the President’s Office confirmed that a letter was sent to students representing the protestors, but that it would not be released to the press. Ketter said last week that he would not meet directly with black students making demands until they have met with other administrators and gone through “proper channels.” Ketter was quoted in The Spectrum as sa he would not, under any conditions, agree to demands calling for immunity from prosecution. He said then that incidents from the first weekend in December—credited with spurring the conflict—could result in those students charged, subject to suspension, expulsion or jail terms u —Garry STILL WAITING: Over a waak has paasad aInca Mack students gave thalr demands to the Administration, and they are still waiting (or a promised response to be releases by Laura Farr Stuff Writer Spectrum SCATE Results to be out soon, survey to be continued The results of the Student Course and Teacher Evaluations (SCATE) survey will be released “hopefully in a weejr,” according to Studeqt Association (SA) Director of Academic Affairs Judiann Carmack. r' The published booklet is a detailed account of students’ opinions of teachers and courses. It is designed to aid students in choosing their curriculum with information from other students’ experiences. SCATE has been tangled in delay for the past three years. Even now, although the project is underway, SCATE results will be coming out during exam week and after many students have already registered for their next semester’s classes. Carmack explained, “The original date the student’s in-class completion of the forms was moved back almost one month until after midterms. This was so students could have a major exam to base their opinions on.” Carmack also maintained that “at least students will have some time before final registration and a few weeks in the beginning of their new classes to consider the SCATE results.” Not all professors and teachers were forced to participate in SCATE, although Carmack believes the study can help them by pointing out both strengths and weaknesses. It is inown that complete faculty participation did occur in 22 departments, however, Carmack said that the exact percentage of overall participants is difficult to calculate. There are approximately 3600 courses offered at UB this semester, and out of these a large number are independent studies. Only lecture courses and recitations were evaluated under SCATE guidelines. Three hundred and thirty courses were actually surveyed. Faculty support SCATE SCATE has not been published for the past three years due to SA’s inability to absorb the cost. This year however, the UB administration has agreed to pay for half of the $10,000 bill. It previously declined to assist because it believed earlier studies were not well tabulated. The Administration believed the previous course surveys were done carelessly and therefore expected that results were not necessarily true or could be open to false interpretations. During the absence of a formal “SCATE” many departments had to resort to their »5«»5«»Tm* channalt.’ own evaluations. The results were available to students, but not published campus-wide. In previous years SCATE questionnaires were long and confusing. Many students lost interest and consequently did not turn in completed surveys. This year’s survey had three sections: one basically objective dealing with questions concerning class size and book cqst and the other two subjective, evaluating the instructor and class rapport. Before agreeing to help with SCATE funding this year administrators suggested that a faculty poll would be necessary to determine interest in SCATE. That faculty survey drew a favorable reaction. Opponents Dean of Undergraduate Education John Peradotto believes that SCATE is not only for students, but also for faculty members who wish to improve their teaching. In a memo late this summer he urged faculty members to participate. The SCATE booklet will continue to be published in • the future although, according to Carmack, the Administration has not committed itself beyond this year. Carmack maintained that “work for next semester will begin soon.” The concept of SCATE is not novel at UB. Other schools throughout the state have or are considering implementing tne survey. But the debate is not only financial. Opponents of other aspects of the evaluation have been heard. According to a News Service letter from the Student Association of State University (SASU) that students are not equipped to evaluate teaching. There is a fear that some people maintain that the resulting information could be misused by the administration —for tenure for example—and could in reality have an adverse affect on education. But most students disagree. A poll done by M, Mohan of Organized Research at SUNY Fredonia showed that 91 percent of students there support this type of program. Mohan found that “those surveyed said students can provide feedback information, aid in continuance of good courses and elimination of poor ones and help in develSfllng relevant materials. Students also said their evaluation of teachers and courses makes them feel involved and provides instructors with a new dimension of thought. In a recent letter published in The Chronicle of Higher Education Mohan argued “We cannot afford to ignore student perceptions to classroom events. These are our primary source.” ’ LAST WEEK »T*»T« »TwTi »“ i i iT< »SwTmT«5«T« ORIENTATION for SENIOR PORTRAIT SITTINGS FOREIGN TEACHING ASSISTANTS Room 342 Squire Hall, Main Street Campus 12 Noon & 6:00 8:00 pm TODAY, 10 am Friday 10 am 3 pm Tomorrow 10 am 12 Noon - - - — - No Appointment Necessary FOR 512 Z Reg.

NYSGE’s proposal to construct the 2 ■o 850-megawatl coal-fired electric generating § plant on the shore ofLake Ontario took most everyone in Somerset by complete surprise. The plant was originally supposed -to be built on the shore of Cayuga Lake in Tomkins County with Somerset considered only as a secondary site. “Then a contingent from Cornell University chased them away from that site and the next thing we knew the plant was going to be built right in our backyard,” maintained another farmer Frank Janowitz. The dairy farmer said, as Somerset was only an alternative site for so long, no one really paid any attention to what was going on down in Tomkins county. "We were totally surprised and consequently not primed for action against the plant,” he added. Consequently, NYSGE officials came to Somerset insisting that the mew location was the more environmentally feasible site. “They claimed that the plant would mean progress for the community by creating new jobs without doing anything regrettable to the environment,” related former Lockport News reporter Dominick Cappa. In mustering support for its proposal, the utility sponsored a series of public hearings necessary for licensing by the New York State Public Service Commission. “It was brought out during those public hearings that the plant’s appearance, along with the fly ash and pollutants it would generate, would be a detriment to the community,” Cappa noted. announced plans to use a low sulfur* coal mine in Eastern Pennyslvania and West Virginia, which is more environmentally acceptable. NYSGE president Don Sawyer also promised that anti pollutant mechanisms to be used at the plant would result in the cleanest air possible yvith present Anti-pollution efforts In an effort to win public support for the plant, NYSGE claimed it needed to meet the future needs of its customers.

Acid rain contributor UB Biology professor Ken Stewart contended that Janowitz’s predictions that the plant would be solely responsible for increased amounts of, acid rain—a by product of coal combustion which has been linked to respiratory diseases and property damage —are unfounded. “The plant may ?,dd to acidic precipitation of sulfur dioxide, which originates from Chicago and other western cities, but it can’t be held solely responsible for all damage usually imputed to acid rain,” related Stewart, noting that over a period of years acid rain is known to act as a corrosion agent, inhibiting the growth of forests and crops. Environmental objections notwithstanding, NYSGE is going to build its coal burning plant on the shore' of Lake Ontario as the residents of the little town of Somerset look around for someone to blame. “The townspeople are not totally in favor of the Plant,” commented Somerset Town Planning Board Chairman and UB Biology professor Charles Jeffrey, adding “but the people here just don’t feel strong enough to go out and fight it.” Somerset residents have learned that there is not much to be done once the government decides plans for such a local plant are feasible. “All we can do is make our concerns known and raise questions—and then sit and wait for the effects of having a coal burning plant right in our own backyard,” remarked Janowitz.

Smith Spectrum Staff Writer Pagliacci, the immortal crying clown of the opera, represents what life is all about for WGR-TV’s zany weather forecaster Barry LilUs. “You put on a happy face because people want you to put on a happy face," Lillis remarked. He added that, like everyone else, there are some “heavy, heavy" things in his life. Considered a buffoon by many television viewers in Buffalo, Lillis puts his personal life and feelings aside for Channel 2’s six and eleven o’clock news. Usually attired for the news in a T-shirt sporting a local event or a charity, Lillis appeared in the WGR station conference room in a light blue, three-piece suit. He took off his jacket, settled himself in a chair and pulled out a pack of cigarettes. Calling his work on WGR-TV 2 News a “happy job," Lillis explained that it is the outside commitments that make the job hard. “You have to be what the people want. If they want a fun talk, you give a fun talk," he said. * >» —Qarry Pr»n*t« Lillis. The entertaining Lillis believes that making people feel good is also a key to success. To him, this includes making people laugh. “Let me tell you something about humor,“ he said as he lit a cigarette, “People want you to be nice to them all the time. If you can’t be funny, at least be nice.” - ‘Glass fishbowl’ However, forecasting Buffalo weather is not always the easiest way to make people feel good. “I’ve got to find something to accentuate the positive. When I.ve got to tell them there’s a storm coming,” Lillis'said, “I look for something positive in that. Like when it’s going to be over.” Lillis’ work is his life. But, when he can. he likes to sneak off with his wife and drink beer and wine and just talk. “You do live in a glass fishbowl,” Lillis commented. Everywhere he goes, Lillis said, people approach him. He recalled one time that he was in a public restroom “doing my thing.” A man recognized him, put his arm around Lillis’ shoulders and began a conversation. But, “if people don’t come up to you, you know they don’t care,” h« said. And people do care. There is a woman who calls the considerate Lillis every week to tell him about her doctor’s appointment. Young children phone him frequently to report their progress in school. “There’s a tendency to fluff them off,” Lillis noted, “but, it’s a big moment for them.” Barry Lillis is aware that he will not always be a television personality. “I’m 43 years old. That’s not young in this business,” he said smiling, “what you have to do is get a good contract.” Barry Lillis hardly looked ready for the weatherman’s graveyard as he put out his cigarette. The telephone rang, and he-jumped up quickly to answer it. The voice at the other end notified him that Miss New York State was waiting to see him. He concluded the interview as it began—with a smile. Lillis was not always a successful person. He quit high school after the tenth grade, noting, “1 was a real jerk when I was a kid.” i ■» He entered the service during the Korean War and it was there that he realized something had to be done with his life. Lillis got his high school diploma and then went on to UB, “I was very highly motivated,” he explained. Lillis emphasized motivation and hard work when talking about becoming a success in television or radio. “There are a lot of people who want to get into the business, but there are very few people who will work hard enough to get from point A to point B,” said the weather on Channel 2. tt ( « II you can't bo funny, at least be nice.' Fan mail Lillis got his start in radio. As a part-time announcer, he got $84 'every two weeks from WGGO in Salamanca. He likes to tell the story of how he got his full-time position there. With a twinkle in his eye, he recalled how he sent several letters to. the Buffalo Evening News praising the new radio voice at WGGO. After the News received all this “fan mail,” it contacted WGGO to get some information on him. Believing that the listeners really loved the diminutive Lillis, the station took him on full-time. Lillis eventually landed a job as a televisionbooth announcer. “I was a very bad television announcer,” he admitted. Back when television was still new, TV commentators were generally more concerned with how their voices sounded rather than with what they were saying. “1 got fired," he confessed. From that first experience in television, Lillis learned his lesson. “Being on a television screen in someone’s living room is a very intimate situation," explained Lillis. The man who sits in his chair drinking beer in his underwear trusts the TV personality, hence “you talk people-talk.” And that is what he does while forecasting «b* >' EVANS ART THEATRE j $J5 1 unusually ~ distinctive diamond earrings affordably priced Choose 14k yellow or white gold in plainer butter cup settings.

He is serving his second year as Chairman of the United States Student Association (USSA). The USSA is a lobbying organization in Washington, D.C. fighting for student interests in much the same way that the National Gun Lobby fights against gun control. The organization’s most recent triumph is the passage of the Middle Income Students which has facilitated the task of financing higher education for a vast number of students. Another major victory to the USSA’s credit is the passage of legislation which breaks the Department of Health, Education and Welfare (HEW) into two separate departments: the Department of Health and Human Services, and the Department of Education. “We are very pleased, with the break-up of HEW,” said Jackalone, “education on a broad level is a very major social issue. With the separate Department of Education, many problems will receive much greater ’ w,/' attention.” The USSA was formed in August 1978 through a merger of the National Student Association and the National Student Lobby. At that time, Jackalone was the Executive Director of the NSL and was elected Chairman of the USSA. The merger of the two organizations came about in an attempt to create what Jackalone termed a “true union representing a vast majority of college students across the country.” / - — — — — Philosophy Psychology Sociology Management ?????????? For those of you who can check one or more above, or who are undecided about your future career \ / Won court case It has been just about a year and one-half since the cx-UB student President has taken the reigns of the national organization. Aside from major legislation which the USSA has helped push through Congress, the organization has been constantly increasing its power. Before the merger there were a lot of conflicts between the two student groups, according to a September 1978 issue of The Chronicle of Higher Education. There was so much animosity between them. The Chronicle said, that the staffs would not even speak to each other. Now, with Jackalone at the helm, the unified USSA represents approximately 3 million students. After the onset of the merger a great disaffection arose particularly from southern schools. Stemming from what seems to have been a trend towards conservatism, institutions in the South saw the USSA as“ unrepresentative and too liberal,” according to The Chronicle. It now seems as if Jackalone is managing to get southern schools into the Association. Louisiana State University is the latest to join. Although education is the prime concern of Jackalone, he also gets involved in a broad range of other issues concerning student interest. An example is a recent court case in which Jackalone, working independently, sued officials of the City of Washington, D.C. He contested a City ordinance which prohibited all protests of President Carter s handling of the Iranian crisis. Jackalone won the case and the subsequent appeal upholding the First Amendment right of public protest. The USSA, though successful so far, is still in its infancy according to Jackalone. It has a staff of six full-time employees and four interns. With an annual budget of $75,000 to finance ail its operations, Jackalone is hoping for an increase in the number of member schools funding.

The same type of problems arose when I was SA president.” As far as the future of the USSA is concerned, Jackalone is very hopeful, issues he intends to tackle include further increases in financial aid, women s rights (the USSA is currently supporting passage of the ERA), and medicaid payments for abortion. He also hopes to one day to increase membership so that the Association represents a majority of college students. As for Frank Jackalone, when asked if UB might ever see him as a political candidate, he laughed and said, “I’ll never sell out.” recent Ketter, Jackalone said, “During the time 1 �I "4 FORUM ON IRAN: A crowd of approximately 150 people attended a forum In tha Fillmore Room on the crlale in Iren, Monday night.

The forum featured a panel comprised of an English professor from Buffalo Stale, John Dwyer the editlor of ‘Iranian Voice' magazine, Professor Kaukab Flddiquo; and a journalist who recently returned from Iren, David Klein.

Adam’s concern seems to reflect a growing national trend to view alcoholism as a disease reaching epidemic proportions especially among college students. Recent surveys have verified Adams’ belief. A poll taken at four Florida universites of approximately 4500 students showed thatN 30 percent of the students surveyed have missed class due to hangovers. Compared to one generation ago, liquor consumption has risen in a number of surveys. The Boston Medical Foundation recently released results of a study polling 7000 students at 34 New England colleges. Some results were surprising: —More freshmen than upperclassmen say they drink heavily more frequently. ,i; -I —The category of “heavy drinkefs”—those who consume more than a six pack of beer or five shots of liquor' in one sitting—includes 29 percent of undergraduate men and 11 percent of the women. drunk was important to 20 percent of the men and 10 percent of the women undergraduates. —Approximately 95 percenti of the underclassmen reported at least occasional drinking, compared to 59 percent who smoke marijuana, 11 percent who snort cocaine and 10 percent who pop tranquilizers. As the use of alcoholic beverages become more popular on the campuses, administrators are taking a tougher stand on its control. Many schools are now promoting alternate non-intoxicating drinks to their students. Such programs may be working. The University of Virginia—where the demand for firewater is a local legend—held a fraternity event in which the jdemand for ' | I - -,r I | "ijofjbms Up . rwryr %- ? the soft drink Pepsi exceeded that for beer. Some bastions of higher education have centered their attacks on the drunk driver. The University of Massachusetts provides fc free Saturday night bus service, titled “the drunk run”, which shuttles students back and forth between area watering holes and the university’s campus. Other colleges have taken more stringent measures against the use of alcohol on campus. The University of New Hampshire has banned beer kegs in the dormitories—a decree which ignited a midnight march of irate students chanting “We want kegs!” UB has also joined the national war against alcohol abuse. Earlier this year, a preventative program was set up to provice guidance to students with a high risk of becoming alcoholics. The program—created by Counseling Psychologist Gerald Thorncr—is aimed at reducing the use of alcohol on campus with the help of peer advisors. Perhaps more difficult than solving students’ growing affection for liquor is discerning i#hy they drink at all. Freshman year drinking could be linked to the student’s first escape from pareqtial supervision according to Time Recently, v psychologists point ot economic anxiety and tougher academic competition as major causes of student drinking. ■ Some officials believe having a student lounge which to beverages on campus also contributes collegiate drinking. "After a long, hand day a cold beer tastes good,” explained Buffalo State College undergraduate David Barrett. Barrett said he visits his campus gin mill —The Pub—frequently. V Maybe the most underpublished effect of alcohol is that it may cause death, warned UB Professor C.E. Smith at a recent Buffalo State College symposium. “Everyone should know about the poisonous levels of alcohol,” stressed Smith. Today chronic alcoholism (extremely high usage and dependence) is a condition that remains somewhat rare on the nation’s college campuses. But the concern remains that early habits are hard to break, and today’s heavy drinkers cquld be tomorrow’s alcoholics. - -—BED HOMEY—- must mi ekdiowuo WORRIES FOREVER! * Unique method guarantees amasinf results.

Edward Fisher does it all Chancellor’s awards , - by Diane LaValle Special to The Spectrum He was a former champion waterskier, a competitive ice-dancer, a bus driver and a printer. In his younger years he parachuted and scuba dived. Now he is content to ride his Honda SSO, hang glide and preach. At 55 years of age, Father Edward Fisher of the Amherst Netiman Center has led and still leads an active, diverse life. Bom and raised in Buffalo, Father Fisher didn’t exercise his athletic energies until approximately seventh grade, when he moved to the Riverside area. “I just took advantage of the facilities there,” he said, “and the changing of the seasons.- Every season has its sport.” In high school he played hockey, competed in municipal tennis-tournaments, and was even offered a professional contract in baseball. Growing up in the Depression Era with only one parent (his father died when he was threejmade finances tight_gbout the Fisher household. It also accounts for the many different jobs Fisher held. To earn money for. school and his family, he drove a tractor-trailer, worked at a railroad, molded tires for Dunlop, and even delivered three different newspapers at one time. Yet none of these vocations appealed to him. Eventualljrhe went to the seminary. “I wanted to do the things a priest would do,” Fisher explained. “Ministry is a mode of life. There are different ways to work in it so that my riding a motorcycle, playing - tennis^waterskiing—all those things—are means oy which 1 meet people.” Fisher has come a long way Since the days when he was First ordained, preaching on a soapbox on the corner of a country road. One of his talents includes a penchant for ice-dancing. “I always thought it looked nice.” he admitted. Fisher didn’t startice-dancing until 20 years after his high school hockey days. Looking for a new skating partner, the Father calls ice d&ncing his “American Express card for enjoyment.” He noted, “I'-enjoy spending weekends ice-dancing, but I can’t get too many in because I have to work on Sundays.” In the fifties he taught at-Notre Dame high school in Batavia and then at Buffalo’s Rosary Hill (now Daeman College) until 1966. During this time he began to compete in water skiing tournaments. “It was easy to compete then because the sport was just being Fisher explained.

But there is one thing Father Fisher wishes he had done.

Student Association (SA) Constitution Committee member Bob Lombardi believes the long-awaited student document could only last for a few years until “it no longer works effectively.” The Student Association has been extremely negligent in drawing up this new Constitution. When the Senate was disbanded by referendum last Spring, voters stipulated a new charter would be put up for approval by November. The interim Senate did not fulfill its task and gave itself an extension. Now, after waiting longer than we should have already and knowing we are going to wait longer, we hear the governmental framework isn’t even intended to be permanent—at least Lombardi thinks so. A constitution is not the type of framework that is supposed to serve as a short term guideline. Amendments and changes should constantly be examined and alterations made when necessary. But an overall revamping, if necessary in the near future, raises many questions about the quality of the document. The Student Senate has been hampered this year with the task of designing a new constitution. Its efforts have concentrated on internal reorganization and as a result, many other legitimate v concerns have fallen to the wayside. To think that his could possibly reoccur in a couple df years Is a warning that the Student Senate could be signing lt§ own deathknell. Apathy is a large enough problem in itself, but to allow internal disorder "fak continue—In essence, a temporary constitution does th|s—is to side with apathy. After waiting so long, we should expect a constitution that lastslonger than the time we waited for it to be designed—and certainly longer than two years. , .- , Although we don’t sell our paper on the city streets, The Spectrum likes to keep abreast of its journalistic counterparts in Buffalo. For many of us, it is the job market. We welcome the news that the Courier-Express has named a new Publisher. Roger P. Parkinson is a man with business background, a journalist at heart, and a distinguished reputation. The Courier’s problems have been related to both business and journalism, and the two are inextricably linked. Its circulation has dropped, its advertising not as easy to come by, and its pages filled with more wire service copy because it can’t pay new staff. So besides hoping the paper improves under Parkinson, we hope his new blood creates room for more—nameiy ours. The notion that the Courier may now improve is good news for its readers and the idea that its job possibilities could improve is good news for a bunch of self-indulgent college journalists.

Here was one of the most prodigious talents in the history of rock music singing an eightyear-old song that had becdme more true with age, a song about teen-age wasteland, not proposing it as a way of life—and here was another generation, not his any longer, missing the whole...tucking... point.

No one shot at us. There was no authority to fight. We’re not only fighting each other, now we can honestly say we’re killing each other.

I have always admitted being prejudiced and at times have behaved in a very bigoted fashion but I find that this self praising attitude is found in all people. The protest by a group of self-worshipping Blacks on December 3, represents an attempt to gain inspection* of alleged acts of prejudice in University affairs, their methods, however sucessful, are typical examples of what I shall refer to as the child-like response to situations found by all, at some time or another, when one is forced to deal with a system which one finds to be, or presupposes it to be, against his or her own goals/desires. Personally I find that It is possible that a very strong case could be built to give- substantiation to reverse discrimination being applied at this University. The most flagrant example concerns the handling of funds available to students purported to be minorities who, because they are minorities, have this omnipresent hand which steals their rights to an education and therefore must recieve Government funding to enable them to attend a University such as ours. If ode considers these students in respect to their claim to minority status one will see that even myself (a very white middle class undergraduate and also a commuter) can be made a member of some minority that is discriminated against. Anyone can be considered a minority student because one can find a characteristic which differs from others and can therefore be considered alienated from the system i Color is a gift To the Editor: from a school that so blatantly caters to Its white majority.

Instead I suggest that they GET THEIR ASS IN GEAR and do something more productive in regard to bettering their own lives.

Black United we stand Day To the Editor: There have been confrontations on campus between black and white students. As intelligent students at a University such malicious behavior is hardly appropriate for an institution comprised supposedly of the choice students academically around the country. Have any of you given thought about the racial tensions around you? Have you tried to make cdntact with your fellow dorm residents who happen to be a different color? We as students must band together, since some of us will be the decision makers in years to come, we must discontinue this incessant hatred 1 toward one another. To the blacks who wouldn't allow whites to take part in the demonstration I, as a black student, must say we as blacks need al! the support available. The more support from the student body perhaps the closer we will be to attaining our demands. I know it is an old cliche but it still holds much truth "United we stand divided we fair through division accomplishments will be miniscule at this University. For those who condemn the establishment about their unfair treatment we need to examine the hatred instilled in us, and take a look at how you support the establishments institutionalized racist ideas! June Locke Inappropriate To the Editor: In an article on International College published November 19, your campus editor indicated that the former Academic Coordinator, Mrs. Barbara Brown, had “lost" a grievance. This is not fully accurate. She was denied one of her requested remedies, but received another, at Step I of the grievance procedure provided by the contract. Conclusions regarding Mrs. Brown, her grievance, or the university administration should not be drawn from the Step 1 judgement, which is only part of an ongoing process. 1 would appreciate your publishing this letter, and wish to express my apologies to Mrs. Brown that your article included a reference to a procedure still being followed; in the interests of all concerned, further public comment is inappropriate. Claude E. Welch Associate Vice Pres for Academic Affairs Professor of Political Science offast To the Editor: The situation in the Middle East regarding Israel and Peace Talks has long bee'n drastically misunderstood. Especially here in America, the Camp David agreements were heralded as a tremendous breakthrough, a giant step towards peace, a matter for the rejoicing and maze) tov. From the point of view of Torah Judaism, however, the situation is far from reassuring. The concessions being made are dangerous in the extreme, laying bare the whole of Israel to its enemies. The present Israeli government is daily and increasingly imperilling Jewish life and security, as is acknowledged by every military expert in the Holy Land and in other countries as well. In response to the tremendous danger of this situation, and of its implications to world Jewry, the Rabbinical Alliance of America (Igud HaRabonim), together with other prominent Jewish leaders, has proclaimed Thursday December 13 (Kislev 23) as a day of prayer and fasting. All Jewish men over the age of 13, and women over the age of 12, have been called upon to honor this fast, which will be fromdawn until 12:30 P.M.. The day before, Wednesday the 12th, in the afternoon, one should undertake to fast the next day. On Thursday morning, additional psalms should be recited, especially Psalms 20,22, and 69. Charify should be given, and a resolution made to repent and improve one’s actions and conduct, it anyone cannot fast for reasons of health, etc., he may redeem’ the fast with extra charity. Fasting, according to the teaching of our Talmudic Sages and Rabbinic authorities, together with prayer and good resolutions, can avert serious troubles from the Jewish people. The Rabbinical Alliance has therefore come forward With this world Jewry. We, of the Chabad House of Buffalo, support their appeal, and would encourage all Jewish students at the University to join in this important fast; and may its merit usher in a truly happy Chanukah, that will witness the final redemption of the Jewish people. An emergency rally has also been called for this Thursday at 1 P.M. in the Fillmore Room. Everyone is encouraged to attend. I am Sir, Yours truly.

The Bulls improved to 2-3 by defeating Brown, 34-11. “We’re a young team,” explained UB coach Ed Michael. “1 feel there’s a great deal of room for improvement as the season progresses. 1 look forward to awinning year and also having some All-Americans. “Tom Jacoutot, Scott Slade and Rick Fie have already shown that they should be given that honor, but by the end of the year there may even be others,” Michael said. Fie scored an important and impressive victory over Brown, outmatching last year’s New York State High School Championships runner-up. Slade overtook a formidable wrestler to win Saturday, defeating the third-placer in the Coast Guard Tournament. “1 was pleased with Jim Griffin,” Michael said of the Buffalo mayor’s namesake. ‘‘He only got a tie, but he has come along well.” The coach is looking forward to hosting the SUNY Conference Championships in February, by which time he hopes to have a better insight into his team’s ability. _ � � * Tomorrow will mark the start of an important home stand for the hockey Bulls.

Barron Spectrum Stuff Writer “Think gold.” The U.S. Olympic hockey team has arrived The future Olympians displayed their prowess Saturday night, defeating Yale 6-1 in an exhibition game played here in Buffalo at Nichols School’s Dann Memorial Rink. Before the U.S. squad erupted with four third period goals, Yale stayed within striking distance —down only 2-1. “You always rise to play your best against great competition,” reasoned Yale assistant athletic trainer Vic Vaughan. Eric Strobel, the eighth-round draft choice of the Buffalo Sabres in 1978, scored two goals—including the game-winner for the Olympic team. Mike Ramsey and Rob McClanahan, the other Sabres’ draftees, each had an assist. “Our prospects looked good,” Buffalo Sabres’ general manager and coach Scotty Bowman told The Spectrum. “Since we saw them last, they’ve made good - Racquetball-$3 off any one hour reservation - improvement.” After the Olympic games, those players who have been drafted by major league teams may elect to report to that team or finish college. Ramsey, a first-round pick, said he would like to “try out” for the Sabres. “I say ‘try’ because no one just walks in and makes the club,” he elaborated. “Otherwise I’ll continue college in business administration.” McClanahan would not commit himself. “We’ll have to wait anjl see [about returning to college]; take things as they come.” Free bird Not all of the U.S. team has been drafted. Goalie Steve Janaszak, who will likely share the netminding with Jim Craig in Lake Placid, is one of those who will become a “free agent.” “I’ll see if some team will pick me up,” he explained.“Otherwise I’ll get my degree in chemical engineering.” Janaszak turned in a solid performance, stopping 17 of 18 shots and contributing an assist. “It was my second assist in my life.” Jim Steiner scored the lone Yale tally at 14:11 of the second period to make the score 2-1. It came on a shot from a sharp angle that squeezed between Janaszak and the goal post. The U.S. team had built its two-goal edge on a first period goal by Mark Johnson and an early second period score by Strobel. After Yale had failed to tie the game on two power plays, Strobel and Mark Pavelich scored 33 seconds apart about eight minutes into the third stanza to give the U.S. team an insurmountable 4-1 lead. Pavelich then tallied again nearly five minutes later. Neal Broten rounded out the scoring with a late goal. Although there was ho “home” team, the roughly 800 spectators seemed to favor the U.S. squad. “I don’t know too much about the Yale team, so I’d rather see the Olympic team win,” Nichols’ student Keith Schulefand said before gametime. Can you afford it? The standing room only crowd paid dearly to see the game. Seats were $25 ($20 of which went toward the Olympic program) and standing room was $7.50. Yale coach Tim Taylor was philosophical after the loss. “I’m really proud of the way our kids played, they played with a lot of heart and a lot of discipline.” The Yale players seemed to enjoy the game, too. “It was great to play them,” defenseman Steve Harrington remarked. “It was good experience for our team. We are trying to emulate their style.” Harrington, who played a solid game, then characterized himself as somewhat of a team leader.“1 play defense on the ice and offense off the ice.” From here, the U.S. team will move on to play the Czech, Swedish and Russian teams. They are now 26-11-1 after 38 games of their 60-game pre-Olympic schedule. As for the Yale team—confessed Harrington—- ‘We break now.

The locals came close Monday night at Clark Hall, but fell short and lost. Setting the scene for the exciting second half comeback was a Youngstown-dominated first half. The Penguins dominated under the boards, and doubled Buffalo’s shooting percentage. Most of the Bulls’ few rebounds were defensive, leaving the Penguins all the marbles under UB’s basket. “You can make all the excuses you want,” commented UB coach Bill Hughes. “They (Youngstown) are good sizedj quality scholarship players from a Division II school. left, Buffalo climbed within one point, 55-54. As Youngstown went into a stalling game. Smith stole the Buffalo’s shooting percentage skyrocketed—the Bulls outscoring the Penguins 34-25. The leading The key to the ballgame was that we were hurt under the boards.” Heading into the locker room at the half, down 34-22, Buffalo needed a change of strategy. Hughes decided to shift from a man-to-man defense to a zone. The Bulls fell behind by 13 with 15 minutes left to play, before suddenly realizing that they were on a basketball court. Shots that missed the net the first half started falling in. Defensive plays that had failed before started clicking, forcing Penguin turnovers. A crowd that saw little to talk about the first 20 minutes found a lot to yell about the last 15. , scorer for Buffalo was Tom Parsons with 17 points and five rebounds. Tony Smith, who added 16 points and four rebdunds, was the spark during the second half, with many steals and key. defensive blocks. During the last five minutes, as Buffalo finally reached' its usual level of basketball, the crowd came alive, sensing the chance of victory. During the first 25 minutes of play, down an astronomical number of points, the Bulls broke from huddles with a sick, shallow ball with 1:20 left. The Bulls worked the ball downcourt slowly, but with 24 seconds left, Buffalo’s hopes fell to the ground, along with the ball. The shot hit the rim and bounced into Penguin hands. “We have got to learn to play with intensity the whole game,” explained Smith. “If we played with the same intensity that we played in the second half, we’re capable of blowing out any team.” UB guard Larry Walton, salvaging some good from the loss, pointed out, “This loss might teach us some humility. We need to concentrate, to win the important games later on.” UB heads to bowling tourney by Carlos Vallarino Sports Editor Not many people know it, but UB has a nationally ranked 'team, and they’re getting better. Despite the loss of Cindy Coburn and Sue Fulton to graduation last year, .the bowling Royals are presently the fifth-ranked squad in the country. On Monday they showed Canisius why, sweeping a three-game set in a Western New York Conference Matches meet held at the Squire Hall Lanes. Before the meet, the Royals trailed Erie Community College by one-half point in the conference standings. “We’re getting stronger now,” assessed UB coach Jane Poland. “We’ll be going to Las Vegas at the end of December.” Poland was referring to the Las Vegas Inter-Collegiate Invitational Bowling Tournament, the biggest invitational bowling tourney around. UB will take six of its members to th£_prestigious event, in which 39 schools participated last year.

The UB women who will be traveling to Las Vegas will be the six who have led the Royals in Conference action. The leader is Gail Simmons, who boasts a 186 average. “She’s a very strong bowler,” praised Poland. “She has the experience, having competed four years in the nationals.” Barb Irwin follows with a 182 mark. The freshman from Amherst High School has shown that she has great potential, but Poland will take her only as the sixth bowler —five will see the most action —feeling that her lack of experience would be a drawback to success.

Mary Ann Buboltz showed up late for the Matches on Monday, and was able to bowl only two games. “She’s very reserved, very cool —never seems to change her composure,” Poland described the 177 average kegler. I ft> yell, avoiding each other's eyes. | During their explosion, the home 1 team came out of huddles looking S more inspired. Z And they came close. With 3:40 by Dan Holder Spectrum Stuff Writer If you have any love at all for basketball, the best type of game is an overtime win. Next best is a regulation time win. After that is a down-to-the-last-second loss. The Bulls took the third option Monday, with a 59-56 loss to Youngstown State in Clark Hall u The smoothest and possibly the Royal The Royals look to the lanes Monday against Canlslus UB is lifth-ranked in the country according to the latest poll with the most potential, according to Poland, is Lori Mostoller. She averages a hefty 175, but could improve with some added confidence. The most analytical of the group is Pam Detig, Simmons’ married sister. Sporting a 171 average, she is sometimes too slow of step. “Cindy Coburn made some suggestions to her today that helped her,” Poland said. “They were the opposite of what I told her, but she bowled a nice 190 game.” Coburn was a spectator during her former team’s matches. Presently a rookie on the Women’s Professional Bowling Association tour, the UB graduate has had enormous success in her first year, having accumulated $10,000 since October. Already she has won one tournament and finished second in another. “I won the National Championships last October in Washington,” Coburn indicated. “It was nice to win ($4,000), it’s a very prestigious tournament. It was funny because 1 had food poisoning the night before, so I was sick when 1 bowled. Obviously, her performance must have made her opponents'even sicker. She plans to remain on the tour at least for the next few years. �5 * O. ircb REFRIGERATOR RETURNS All units must be returned as follows: SATURDAY, DECEMBER 15th IVoon Clement 1st Floor Outside the Grub 3 5 pm In Fargo Cafeteria 6 8 pm - 2 pm - - - - - REFRIGERATORS MUST RE RETURNED DEFROSTED CLEAN & DRY Renewals will be the beginning of next semester ANY QUESTIONS PLEASE CALL 636-2497 Ml&oD Z3, Fall 1982 targeted for Field House completion by Rose Spectrum Anderson Staff Writer Imagine 1982—a magnificent Field House, a building two-and-ahalf times the size of Main Street Campus’ Squire Hall, may be completed in the Amherst Campus. 'Rather than burst the Bubble, planned construction of another Bubble near the one now located between the Engineering buildings and Ellicott will begin this Spring semester, according to Assistant Chairman of Recreation Sal Esposito. “1 think the students here have a justifiable complaint with the planning of facilities here, as was demonstrated last year at the Governor’s arrival on campus, but the outlook for the completion of the Field House is getting brighter,” Esposito said. Esposito projected a completion date—if construction of the facility continues non-stop until it is Finished —of Fall 1982. The steel roots of the Field House can be seen protruding from its base at the eastern end of the campus. The $12 to $15 million structure will contain an arena area—the largest open space designed in the four-level building. This area will hold a metric track, a basketball court, volleyball court, and three convertible courts. A locker room area, six regulation handball and raquetball courts and a training complex with a wet and dry room will also be included. Aside from recreational areas, offices for Department of Recreation, Athletics and Related Instruction (RAR1) personnel will be built. . . . impressive enterprise Upon the indoor completion of the Field House, an outdoor area between the Field House and Millersport Highway will be added. This area is planned to contain several fields for outdoor sports. Locker rooms inside the Field House will accommodate the outdoor areas until the second phase LEAVING THE DORM? Before You Do This; 1982, this building frame will supposedly be a multi-purpose sports facility. Later, when the 1982 freshmen are seniors, an Olympic pool—among other things—will be added as part of Phase II. ffjfflr-Mbb of the recreation facilities is finished. Phase II is considered to be the crucial part of the sports facilities: the gymnasium. In addition to the main gym, there will be three small gyms, a dance studio and an “Olympic” pool. If Albany supplies the money needed for Phase 11, Esposito said, it should be completed four or five years after Phase I. When asked if the Field House would phase out athletics on the Main Street Campus, Esposito replied, “As a result of no football facilities in the Field, House, 1 think football will remain on tf\,e Main Street Campus. Rotary Field is already there.” The Bubble is awaiting fhe spring arrival of its twin and the replacement of its vinyl-coated nylon fabric “skin.” The Bubble can be converted into any combination of four tennis courts and eight basketball courts.

Legislative in-fighting over the proposed Constitutional amendments has delayed legal casinos for at least another two years. In order to legalize casinos, a State amendment must be passed by two consecutive separately elected legislatures before going to a referendum. In 1978,the Legislature passed three amendments, each of which would have changed Article 9 of the State Constitution prohibiting casino gambling. This year, however, the Legislature could not agree on an amendment." In February 1979, Governor Hugh Carey appointed the Casino Gambling Study Panel to investigate the impact legalized gambling would have on the State: According to the panel’s final report, the impact on the State’s economy would have been significant.' The report predicted that legalized gambling would have created 107,000 new jobs Statewide, of which about 29,000 would have been on the Niagara Frontier. The industry also might have added between $610 million and $775 million to the state coffers, not including a slot machine license fee and the rise in property values according to the report. Serious concerns That report, however, was not entirely Carey's press aide Steven Moreno said “the Governor’s position was that there didn’t seem to be the necessary enthusiasm in the Legislature. He said Carey is still “very supportive” of legislative action. Hoyt said that if Carey pushes legalization and the legislature’s leadership can agree on its form, it will pass. He noted, “I don't see any way of keeping organized crime out of it, regardless of the safeguards you build in. I also don’t like the tread of the State looking for revenue offlhe backs of the citizen’s bad habits.” *’ Legislators can't agree on gambling amendment. crap shots delayed again - optimistic. Panel member and UB Professor of Sociology H. Roy Kaplan explained “we had some serious concerns about them (casinos) and these concerns were reflected in the report.’’ Combatting these concerns, the panel made recommendations that, if accepted would have limited the number of casinos to 40 for the first 10 years. The panel also recommended that the casinos be restricted to hotels. Those in heavily populated areas would only be allowed to operated between 8 P.M. and 4 P.M. and all employees of the casino would have been prohibited from making political contributions. State Assemblyman William B. Hoyt noted that “the panel camein'with a negative finding.” But he claimed that Carey did not push hard enough for legalized gambling this year. He added that had tlpr issue been left WpTh «HnrLegiriaiu*»Mi|iwouia have passed Increased grime Like any legislation, the amendments created pressure on legislators from concerned groups, one of the molt vocal being the- People Against Casinos, Inc. Chairman Bedard Rome testified, before the assembly’s Sub-committee on Casino Gambling that “casino gambling carries with it significant increases in crime,'pWrthuiion and-political corruption.” Among the supporters of legalized casinos are Niagara Falls Mayor Michael C. O’Laughlin and Buffalo Mayor James D. Griffin. O’Laughlin hoped casino gambling will come to Niagara FaHs. He countered the opposing arguments', saying ”We have problems like'that now, (throughout the State). We have the mugging. We have the prostitution. We have the organized crime. And we are controlling it. I feel that any increase in crime (caused by gambling) could be controlled also.” He noted that a Niagara Fads Casino Gambling Committee had supported legalization throughout the process. O’Laughlin said that support would continue in 1980 and will be stepped up in 1981. Griffin was unavailable for comment bat has gone on record in the past as supporting legalized gambling. According to the Courier Express. Griffin said, "1 can see only positive things coming from casino casino gambling can be a major gambling contributing factor to Buffalo’s revitalization efforts.’* According to a survey conducted by DresncrTortorello Research 61 percent of the voters State-wide favors legalization. That support is even stronger, the survey found, in the Niagara Frontier where 67percent . . . ” The axe IS poised a*« Likelihood of retrenchment up as SUN Y cutl475 by Elena Cacavas Alews Editor the of threat retrenchment—laying off faculty to meet budgetary demands—looming above the University until its actual definition in the Governor’s executive budget in mid-January, some administrators will maintain that layoffs are not necessarily inevitable. University President Robert L, Ketter last Tuesday informed the Faculty Senate that the Division of Budget (DOB) has asked SUNY to reduce its personnel target by 475—a move which will spiral into, according to SUNY Chancellor Clifton R. Wharton, “totally unavoidable” program reduction and retrenchment. The time frame established by DOB calls for a 260 position reduction by March 31 for SUNY, with an additional 215 cuts by June. A $3.9 million cash savings is expected. Although UB cannot now know what share of the burden it will be expected to carry and administrators are hesitant to acknowledge it will carry any, the University could proportionately find itself with 59 additional vacant positions. However, a large number of already vacant positions here could buffer the blow. With , Negate Affirmative Action “There are currently 44 more positions vacant than the sum needed, but 23 of them may have to be used by personnel from the Erie County Medical Center who are being moved into state lines.” Inside: West Valley—P. 5 / According to Assistant to tha Executive Vice President Maria Carlota Baca, the University is not planning on retrenchment, but if it is necessary, women and minorities would most likely be the first to go. “h is a national observation that when you have to because of physical stringencies declare a state of retrenchment, seniority rules,” Baca said. She explained that tenured professors are the most secure while the lower ranks are susceptible to cuts. “And most minorities and women are in that category,” she added. Baca, involved in one of the University’s Affirmative Action programs said, “The whole notion of retrenchment is scary to everybody, but more distressing to those concerned with Affirmative Action.” In addition to the personnel cuts, DOB has asked that SUNY make a reduction of $2.3 million in “Other Than Personal Services” (OTPS). UB’s share of this would fall between $25,000 and $300,000. Ketter pointed out at Tuesday’s meeting,however, that busing costs fall into funds and will by April J amount to $280,000. Meanwhile, Blue Bird Bus Company has exercised the cancellation clause in its contract and is currently negotiating with the University for an increase to cover skyrocketing fuel and equipment costs. Enrollment below projections Mandated reductions—cutting nonlast year cost the occupied lines University 24 faculty and 12 staff — Small town raked over coals—P. 7 / But, according to. Vice President of Academic Affairs Ronald Bunn, UB could have suffered twice that number had DOB followed its enrollment formula for allocations positions. rigidly. The University’s promise that enrollments would pick up this year prompted DOB’s tolerance, Bunn said. But- despite increased enrollments from those of Fall 1978, the University is still -Tailing below projections. Carver said Tuesday he believes it is “essential” that the University weed out weak programs. They should be determined, he said, on academic grounds based on substantial external review. Meanwhile, Ketter has previously voiced his contention that SUNY must dose a campus to allow its others to function well. That position, however, is opposed by legislators. Limited resources.to SUNY fall in the RETRENCH Additionally, a “typical” four to five percent Spring semester attritiort cited by Bunn and reported last month in The Spectrum will probably be figured into the average.. SUNY-wide, however. Chancellor Wharton pointed to total budget enrollment growth of four percent over the past five years. Nevertheless, personnel has at the same time suffered a five percent cut. While some administrators favor suffering with retrenchment now and getting over that hurdle, others would postpone the cuts as long as possible. Still other approaches are advocated. ’ Hyped private aid Faculty Senate Chairman Newton Flying made uneasy P. 11 — / face of increased fundihg to private institutions. Wharton wrote in response to DOB that the situation is aggravated since it is all happening while Bundy and TAP funding to private schools is increasing by $33 million. He suggested thelong held contention that financial burdens are not equally shared by the State’s private and public sectors. The Spectrum reported on November 7 that Bunn would meet with various deans and the Academic Planning Committee to decide retrenchment strategy. At that time enrollment figures were targeted as being a key factor in pinpointing University cuts. Additionally, however, program quality will be another factor. Bunn could not be reached Friday for comment. In Toronto with baseball bigwigs —P.

Last June, the State Legislature increased the maximum interest rate after strong lobbying pressure from area Banks. The Banks are once again pushing for a rate increase but a Permanent spokesman told The Spectrum, ‘‘Just because they passa bill does not mean we will jump back in.” State Senator Joseph A Tauriello—who voted for the June increase—has asked the State Banking Commission to provide a “comprehensive report on the impact of the last rate increase.” He termed the banks’ action contrary to the “best interests of the by Seth Goodcbild City Editor Governor Hugh L.

Robert C. Damm—currently in Maine—will become the Director on January 1, replacing long-time Director Walter S. Dunn. Dunn’s resignation brought some unwanted attention to the Society. Society President Robert B. Meech claimed Dunn had neglected to notify him of his impending departure, something Dunn disputed. Despite the charge, Meech praised the outgoing Qirector in a letter to the Society’s members, “we can think of many innovative things he has done for us.” Refusing to comment on the apparent hard-feelings over his departure, Dunn told The Spectrum “I had a happy and fruitful 16 years and left with great regret, but it’s time to move on to a new adventure.” He is now Director of the Des Moines Center of Science and Industry., V . • Puriha Mill will be demolished as soon as the City Council provides the necessary legal approvals, announced Mayor James D. ; - n located ■at Smith and Elk Streets in South Buffalo, has cast a area residents for many years.

Recently formed by the Faculty Senate, the Committee will co-exist for one year with others involved in correcting past discrimination in faculty hiring. “I have a suspicion that we are not going to find a good 'deal of effective affirmative action,” said Chairman of the Ad Hoc Committee Stephen Halpern. “If we don’t find much,” he added, “it will be for the committee to determine why that is so.” Reporting to the Faculty Senate, the Committee is designed to review the policies and practices of UB with respect to affirmative action, to review the administrative responsibilities and current structure, and to review and interpret legislative and court decisions. institution must portion money for its own efforts. In January, 1979 UB President Robert L. Ketter established the first University-wide Affirmative Action Committee in UB history. The University Affirmative Action Committee (UUAC), headed by Assistant to the Executive Vice President Maria Carlota Baca, is divided into two commissions. Oi>e focuses on student attrition and retention, the other on the hiring of minorities, women, and the handicapped. But, Baca said, “the committee hasn’t had any impact on hiring.” The main thrust, she added, has been on students. "V UUAC was created six years after a President’s Panel for the Review of Search Procedures was established. That panel assists departments in their hiring processes and ensures that appropriate affirmative action policies are followed—such as contacting minority organizations for job openings. Dismal Required According to Vice Chairman of the Faculty Senate Norman Solkoff—who the proposed Committee—these decisions include implications of the Bakke case surrounding reverse discrimination. UB is required to exercise an affirmative action program or risk losing Federal funding. Lyndon Johnson’s Executive order 11246 of 1965 mandated affirmative action programs in federally funded institutions of higher education. Individual affirmative action programs are not funded by the state and each Despite these apparent efforts, the number of nonwhite full-time faculty at UB stands at a dismal 8.3 percent according to University statistics released last summer. The number of full-time minorities employed here dropped from 338 in 1974 to 298 as of December, 1978. Assistant Vice President for Affirmative Action Jesse Nash —who announced his resignation earlier this year—argues that the number of overall faculty dropped during this time. The hiring of minorities—or even the retention of —continued on page 10 — Assistant to the Executive Vice President Carlotta Baca The committee hasn't had any impact on hiring Violations charged No voice for in search for Director Area Council head blasts IRC While the search for a new Assistant Vice President fot Affirmative Action continues, it is unlikely that members from the Black Student Union (BSU) or other campus minority organizations will have a voice in the selection —as was demanded by the BSU last V"'' week. The ten-member search committee —charged with finding a replacement for the resigning Jesse Nash—is currently reviewing applications for the post. The committee consists of individuals from different areas of the University and community, including one student. Last week, Black protestors staged a demonstration on the Main Street Campus calling for an end to UB discrimination. Carrying signs claiming, “No justice at UB for Blacks,” the protestors disrupted inter-campus bus sevice for a short period of time. Included in a list of 14 demands submitted to the administration, was a call for representatives from the BSU, Cora P. maloney college, and other minority organizations to be allowed “to participate in the selection of the next Director of the Affirmative Action Office.” According to Chairman of the Search Committee Frank Corbett, allowing these representatives in the Committee would make it “too large and unmanageable.” Corbett added that when Vice President for Finance and Management Edward Doty formed the Committee, he chose members “representing different perspectives; students’, faculty’s and staff’s.” Doty supported Corbett’s comments claiming, “There is no way you could have a committee with that many people.” Fie said that having members from all aspects of the University and surrounding community makes the Committee “fairly well balanced.” Nash announced his resignation earlier this year but agreed to remain until a successor is named. The Search Committees currently reviewing over forty applications—five of which wilkbe forwarded to Doty—and it is then up to Doty and the University President to make a decision. Doty is hoping an individual will be named by February 1. 1980. —Joe Simon by Mark Meltzer Campus Editor An Inter-Residence Council (IRC) official has charged the 18-year-old dormitory government with massive violations of its constitution that allegedly have thrown the organization into chaos. ..IRC currently has no checks on its, Executive Governors Area' Council President Bill Koliarakis asserted because its leadership has decided not to constitute its Assembly, Finance Committee or Activities Committee. i The Committees—which are all specified in an undated IRC Constitution that Koliarakis said is now in effect—allegedly exist only on paper. (IRC acknowledged that several constitutions now exist, and the confusion has shadowed the validity of them all.) The Finance Committee, Koliarakis said, is supposed to include members of each Area Council (Governors, Main Street and Ellicott) as voting members. Without a Finance Committee, the IRC Executive Committee has been making funding decisions on its own, according to Koliarakis. The Executive Committee has granted $250 to Governors, $250 to Main Street and $500 to Ellicott so far this year, Koliarakis said, but for how long, and for what purpose, ‘‘We’re not sure," he added. “I think they did this just for the power to be in their hands and it’s just not working because the Area Councils are finding out about it,” Koliarakis declared. IRC Activities Coordinator Rick Koh said IRC officials are not sure how accurate Koliarakis’ charges are because of record keeping problems. “I wouldn’t call that information necessarily correct," he said. “The records of the past are in shambles. We have our . • . Executive Vice President (Jeff Fault) looking into it to see what’s what.” IRC President Tom Knight was unavailable for comment Friday. Pay cut Koliarakis became angry at IRC when officials slashed his monthly stipend check in half—to $14.29—to penalize him for a mixup in the showing of “Alice’s Restaurant.” The movie> which was scheduled for late November airing at Governors, was not shown, Koliarakis said, because IRC’s Ellicott people failed to make the film available after the Ellicott showing. Three other Governors people—Vice President Joe Wolfe, Treasurer Bob Cappaize and Secretary Elaine Thein—all got pay cuts because of their failure to show the movie, Koliarakis said. Koh declined comment on the matter, calling it an internal affair. Koliarakis said he is so disenchanted with IRC—which is supposed to be the representative body of all 5000 dormitory students—that he may attempt to disband the organization, ■i Student Association President Joel Mayersohn, who has been contacted by Koliarakis, said he “would listen to anything he has to say,” but only as he would a grievance from any student. “If its solely an internal matter we really cannot get involved in it to the point of infringing on IRC.” Mayersohn said dissolution of the dorm government; would probably be “difficult” for the estranged Area Council head, and that an attorney would probably have to be consulted. to dissolve IRC, nor “1 would not / would 1 expect anyone in SA to. 1 would see that as a conflict of interest and I would see that as irresponsible,” he added.

Miles away, dairy cows bellow contentedly near a thin asphalt road—the road to West Valley. The defunct nuclear reprocessing plant in rural Cattaraugus County, still occupied by Nuclear Fuel Services (NFS), has been a hot bed of controversy for several years. The Slate Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) continuously monitoring the site, recently revealed rising water levels in low-level radioactive trenches. Environmentalists believe this compounds existing concerns for the area’s safety. Environmental groups reason if water (including rainwater) can enter the ditches, it can also migrate outward—carrying radioactive material irilo local streams feeding into Lake Erie. The rising water represents a “very significant development,” according to Sierra Club officer and Rachel Carson College instructor Mina Hamilton. Piling on more clay to the existing cover may not block seeping toxics, Hamilton said, if a “more fundamental problem” exisfs. Clay caps are currently the best available means of containing toxic wastes, but are seen by critics as providing only short term UB Radiation Protection Manager Mark Fierro anticipated a reopening before January. Governor Ray issued an executive order reopening before the site late last month, outlining the minimum necessary requirements and regulations researchers must follow. “We’ve been following these requirements an along,” Pierro explained. “The problem was that othar institutions were at fault, not us. Just because the site is open doesn’t mean we’re not looking for additional space and for ways to prevent this from happening again,” he added. The Hanford closing prompted New York State’s Medical Advisory Board to recommend reopening the West Valley nuclear waste storage, which closed down almost five years ago. West Valley is about 30 miles southeast of Buffalo. Governor Hugh L. Carey recently requested the Health Department to investigate the site’s possible health hazards. The study may be ready early next year, and is certain to undergo by Carolyn Taddeo Spectrum Stuff Writer lived wastes An unpublicized meeting took place at Buffalo airport last Wednesday between the diverse membership of the West Valley Coalition and.. State Energy Commissioner JamesLaRocca. The lack of press coverage apparently resulted in a more “candid discussion,” observed Hamilton. “I think it was a very useful meeting,” she said, noting that the usual unapproachable LaRocca seemed impressed by the presence of the Coalition’s church and labor groups representative in addition to its familiar environmental and student activists. The Coalition presented LaRocca a list of demands— including public to access all NFS-State The Hanford nuclear waste burial site which was shutdown this Fall, has reopened with stricter enforcement of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission and Department of Transportation regulations. Its shutdown had threatened to curtail research at UB and other institutions across the nation. Washington State Governor Dixie Lee Ray had closed the site because of concern over reported faulty packaging and overloaded trucks carrying low-level radioactive wastes. UB, along with other research institutions in the U.S., bore the burden of storing these wastes until the Hanford site reopened. The only open storage site in the nation, located in Barnwell. South Carolina, refused to take any wastes originally intended for Hanford. While the site was closed, UB’s radioactive wastes generated from Biology and Chemistry experiments were stored on the Main Street Campus at the Howe Research Labratory, whose limited-capacity could have been reached six weeks after the Hanford site closed in October. severe scrutiny by environmental groups.

Explaining that toxic waste disposal is a national concern, Kadlecek added that careful study of existing landfills may eventually yield technical improvements. Meanwhile, water in the filling trenches will be pumped out and placed in settling lagoons ort the site. Although the precarious trenches are officially termed “low-level waste,” Hamilton claimed they also contain high level radioactive including the lethal material Plutonium 239. Kadlecek acknowledged the presence of those toxics, but added that “according to federal definition of radioactive wastes,” legally the trenches are correctly labeled low-level.

Department was asked to conduct the study, there was really a crisis (the closed Hanford site) at hand. But now it is still considered necessary to look into." Fagel also complained that so far the Federal government has failed to devise any solutions for what is clearly a nationwide problem. According to Fagel, the West Valley site had been considered as a possible answer to the nation’s shortage of waste burial sites for some time. “It’s ready made, it’s located in a fairly isolated area and the security is tight," he explained. However, the Health Department study is only one factor iit the process to reopen the controversial site, whose opening “is far from imminent,” according to Ted Deboer of the State Energy Office. Applications to reopen the site would have to be made to the Department of Environmental Conservation and the Labor Department—a procedure that could take months, especially in light of public opposition. Environmental, church, and labor groups recently met with State Energy Commissioner James LaRocca to protest West Valley’s reopening. The cost to transport one shipment of U B’s wastes to Hanford, Washington is $12,000. If'the West Valley site is reopened, Pierro estimated that shipping costs would drop to a few hundred dollars per trip. Come experience am adventure into the unknown.

The request, which would bring the collectively-run paper’s total funding for the year to $18,514, will be considered by the SA Senate at its next meeting, probably in late January. The Other One will have spent between $5000 and $6000 of its original $10,000 Sub Board appropriation by the end of the semester, according to Business Coordinator Kathy Fera. She explained the weekly publication will need the additional money to continue at its current pace. “Obviously it*s* unfortunate,” SA Treasurer Kevin Bryant said of the paper’s revenue shortfall, “but it’s not unexpected.” Bryant said the paper’s "newness” had made productions on the advertising income and expenses difficult. “They’re a new publication. They need a larger cost allowance to run the paper,” he added. Both Bryant and Frank Canale of The Other One are confident the Senate will appropriate the extra funding. “The whole collective is very much assured we’ll get it,” Canale commented. And Bryanf noted that additional money may be available' to SA because of an anticipated increase in student enrollment next semester. The Other One published its first actual issue March 23, 1979, although a brief pamphlet decrrihina the newspaper appealed on March 5. Operating on a S700 Special Interest subsidy from Sub Board, the paper put out two issues last Spring before beginning weekly publication in September. Canale is “ecstatic” over this semester’s success and said the prospects for next year are “ridiculously good/' The quality of layout, design and writing have all improved substantially, he asserted. And he said, both on and off campus advertising is up. “There’s no stopping it at this point.” Coal plant ‘beginning of end’ for town of Somerset Editor’s Note: This is the first article in a two-part series dealing with a new coal burning plant to be built in a rustic New York Stale town and its effects on that community. by Jon-fylichael Glionna Feature Editor Prolonged winters, blankets of coal dust and traffic jams on top of other environmental hazards may be in store for the nearby town of Somerset due to *a coal burning plant soon to be built there. The New York State Gas and Electric Company (NYSGE)—in response to President Carter’s emphasis on utilizing America’s vast coal reserves to ease tne nation’s dependence on foreign oil sources plans begin to construction on the 850-megawatt coal-fired generating plant as soon as a rail line is constructed to transport raw materials. Meanwhile, farmers and other residents in Somerset, the small town of about 1000 in the upper 'corner of NiagaraCounty on the shore of Lake Ontario, see the new plant as the beginning of the end for ithe agricultural stability of the ‘pastoral community. Farmers fear the necessary rail line will cause severe erosion and dust pollution. Years before the utility even started campaigning for necessary government approval—especially the Public Service Commission and Corps of Army the Engineers—NYSGE had purchased 974 acres of waterfront property near Somerset along with the rightof-way to build an electrical transmission line to the proposed project. With a $1 billion price tag and an estimated construction deadline of 1983, the huge power station will consume 2 million tons of coal per week, according to NYSGE. — Putting foot down , The utility plans on supplying raw materials for the hungry giant by shipping the coal by train. “We’ll probably need to bring in 100 rail cars, each with 100 tons of coal, six days a week to supply enough coal,” estimated NYSGE President Don Sawyer.

And that is where the residents of Somerset are putting their foot down. The rail route most favorable considered by NYSGE, a 29-mile extension from the Conrail tracks near Lockport to the plant site on Lake Ontario —called the Ggsport Spur—would reportedly run over vast acres of arable farm land. According to one local farmer Paul Platt, the utility owns a right-ofway on the land solely to build electrical transmission lines to connect the plant with its statewide power grid. “Now they’re turning around and saying that it’s all their land and that they’ll do anything they want with it,” he claimed. The farm contingent’s Save Niagara Farm Lands Committee (SNFLC) and the Niagara County Farm Bureau claim that the proposed railway poses a serious threat to productive farmland of the area affecting the community's income through a foroed change in farming methods. The farmers claim that a 40-60 foot embankment for the railway would ruin the surrounding soil. “Those tracks would turn the nearby farmland into a virtual swamp,” predicted SNFLC member Frank Janowitz. — Coal dust Janowitz speculated, on the possibility of daily traffic jams as the lengthy trains pass through each township—inhibiting emergency travel—and the spreading blanket of coal dust which would inevitably blow off the open rail cars. “The proposed embankment would also act as a dam blocking the thermal flow we receive from Lake Ontario,” added Janowitz, explaining that this would allow for later Spring and earlier Fall frosts—eventually prolonging the area’s winter season while severely cutting growing time. Janowitz warned that allowing the utility to build the railway would set a dangerous precedent. “It would open the door for utility companies all over the country to claim fair play in building roads and dumping wastes on land they claim to be their own,” he said. Although the farmer’s plan to employ every legal means to sidetrack the proposed Gasport Spur, those involved highly doubt than any opposition will spell doom for the rail line. “Sooner or later the state or federal authorities will step in and mandate where the railroad will be placed,” claimed Chairman of the Town of Somerset Planning Board and UB Biology Professor Charles Jeffrey. As of this week, both the State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) and the Interstate Commerce Commission are reviewing the four proposed railways including renovation of an old existing route —the Hojack spur. The DEC has made an arrangement with federal officials to await publication and public sentiment towards its environmental impact statement in Spring the early before governmental agencies ircb !«>t5w5V"ST«>TS%»T?T<»5t<>TS% ORIENTATION for grant permits to begin construction on any rail line. Already having received government certification to build the coal plant, NYSGE officials have threatened to begin its construction in the meantime, using trucks to transport heavy equipment and coal ,ieeced for the plant’s operation. Still, DEC spokesman Ralph Manna is confident a solution can be found. “A route will eventually be selected in some manner. The outcome won’t suit everyone though,” he warned.

GEORGE “Buffalo's Most Unusual Stom” 615 MAIN at Chippewa 854 0673 �u Cost of flying home soars up, up, up despite by William Gem argued, would encourage lower fares, just as Special to The Spectrum NEW YORK City (CPS)-Students heading home for Christmas and intersession are going to find traveling by air a lot more expensive than it vas last year, despite hopes that airline deregulation would increase competition and lower air fares. Domestic airfares have risen a Whopping 23.9 percent since last December, and even more since President Carter signed the Airline Deregulation Act into law on October 28, 1978. While some bargain fares are still available, the number of seats per flight allocated to people with discounted tickets will drop to 20 percent, from the 35 percent reserved in early summer. A change in the way airlines calculate bargain tickets will also affect the student traveler. This year the discount percentage will be based on distance traveled, which means travelers going less than 500 miles will save a great deal less. The airfare increases can be traced to inflation,-especially the escalating costs of aviation fuel. But there are also signs that the increases are related to deregulation itself. The seeds of deregulation were- planted in 1977, when the U.S. and British Civil Aviation Authorities granted Laker Airways the right to fly the cut-rate Skytrain from New-York to London. Skytrain, of course, proved to be enormously popular with students, budget travelers, and even a surprising number of business travelers. Impressed by Laker’s success, other airlines flying the same route began offering bargain rates of their own, make scheduled airlines competitive with charter carriers for the first time: Soon, discount fares were being offered on transpacific flights as well. had happened on the New York to London in 1977. Indeed, deregulation did bring scheduled service to 112 cities for the first time, and competition was brought to 200 more markets. Nevertheless, it became apparent by late last summer that the discount rate structure was falling apart. The reason is that the economy promised to sour, and airlines rushed to drop what they called “marginally profitable” routes. They included cities Hkc Wichita, Charlotte, and Memphis. Although commuter airlines may eventually pick up the stack, peoplcin those cities are facing a reduction in competitive services—and a rise in prices—for the time being. v V Nor are they alone. United has reduced i($ daily departures from 1500 to 1300. The carrier has also dropped service from 16 cities (including Atlanta). American Airlines has cut seven percent of its seats. There are rumors of personnel cutbacks and pay cuts at almost every airline. The companies’ concern about inflation isn’t abstract. July, 1979 fuel bills were up 56 percent over Summer. 1978 levels. United experts its fuel will cost SI.3 billion next year, double what it spent in 1978. Such in Hat ionary pressures are already making discount fares an endangered species for this holiday season. Some think the only discount fare strong enough to survive will hi the Super Saveri To get the Super Saver, you must buy your ticket seven days before departure, and must while away seven days before using your return ticket. The farther you go, the bigger the discount. You get 15 percent off of trips of 1000 miles, off trips up to 1500 miles, and 35 percent flights over 1500 miles. You can get another ten percent discount if you fly at night. route - To sour Finally, domestic carriers adopted discount j fares with names like Super Saver, Freedom Fare, Peanuts Fare, Super Coach. Multimillion dollar ad campaigns were designed to spread the good word, though the fact that the number of discount seats were extremely limited was less widely broadcast.

It has failed in its two main objectives; to serve as a dormitory government and as an able activities-sponsoring organization. It cannot make any claim to serve as a government. It lacks fair representation, proper checks and balances, political know-how, and almost any successful attempt to serve as a governing body. , For example, IRC has not carefully examined the University’s future housing needs or designed e priority plan to choose which students should be accomodated first. IRC has not adequately studied the lottery system used for dorm placement and room requests, although Its President, Tom Knight, says he has discussed things with Director of Housing Madison Boyce. IRC has not responsibly looked into the residentlal college system to ensure that students are being treated fairly. IRC does not serve as a place where students can go with their grievances. Dorm attrition continues to occur, yet IRC has not taken steps that have significantly improved dorm life. Some buildings, such as Clement Halt, do not even have cooking facilities for its residents. It may take years before this is remedied, but it will probably take IRC more time to attempt to solve the problem. But to call for IRC’s dismantling based solely on its governmental failures, would be. to ignore the potential the body has as an activitysponsoring organization. Even there, where IRC through its fee revenues has money—the organization has failed. Its activities have consistently been declining into run-of-the-mill beer blasts. Its movies are no longer first rate. A disproportionate number of events occur in the Ellicott Complex, where all of the body's Executive Committee are from. We know more feepayers live in Ellicott than in any other area, but that area's budget was twice as much as the Main Street and Governors allocations this semester. This, of course, excludes "main body" activities which are designed for all feepayers, not just one local area. Guess where most of them have been • held? As a result of IRC's incompetence, activity funds have been formed In both the Main Street and Governors dorms. Its creators politely claim these organizations are designed to supplement IRC, but in reality, they virtually serve to replace the limited actlvites which IRC supplies. At the base of IRC's problems lies mismanagement and perhaps constitutional violations. Governors Area President Bill Koliarakis claims that a Finance Committee—comprised of representatives from Main Street, Governors and Ellicott —is supposed to determine each area's budget. But IRC President Knight revealed that the Finance Committee is, in essence, his Executive Committee—all of whom are from Ellicott. The Executive branch of the government now has become the legislative body. IRC officials don’t know how many constitutions they have, or which is the most recent, or exactly what it stipulates. Compounding IRC's problems are the relationship it has with Its corporate arm, the Inter-Resident Council Business (IRCB). Once conceived as a service which could offer all students lower costs—ranging from food to airline tickets—IRCB has now become a profit-making business, kicking its revenues back into IRC. IRCB should serve all students, not just IRC feepayers through financial returns to the supposed government/acfivity MEXICO?' Blood drive To the Editor: American Red Cross Blood Service wishes to express its thanks to the University of Buffalo community for its outstanding participation in the bloodmobile program held on campus this semester. Collectively, 962 persons offered to donate, 122 were medically deferred, and 840 were productive donors, the largest number in the history of the college. Very special thanks go to the student sponsors who were the actual driving forge behind each mobile. Listed below are (he names of the sponsoring groups and the number ot donors each recruited; Theta Chi Fraternity and C.S.E-.A.-239 (double Mobile), Theta Kappa Epsilon Fraternlty-133, Phi Alpha Delta-84 (law school only) Sigma Pi Fraternity and C.S.E.A.-140, Omega Phi Sorority-269 (double mobile), and College H-97 (snow day)'. American Red Cross Blood Services comes to the campus upon the sponsorship of Mr. Dennis Black, Sub-Board I, Inc. and the recruitment of sponsors has been the achievement of Mr. Chris Michalakes, Health Care Division Director of Sub-Board I. There still remains an urgent need for organized groups on campus to sponsor bloodmobiles. Sponsorship consists of distributing posters, manning a recruitment table one week prior to the bloodmobile and assisting Red Gross staff in equipment set-up and nonmedical positions during the bloodmobile. American Red Cross Blood Services supplies the blood needs of all area hospitals and must collect 425 units a day to meet this need.

Even IRCB has its getting lost because own problems. Last year, we heard of vacation buses someone forgot to give the driver the right directions. This year, IRCB's discount airline tickets are more costly than certain airline's Super Saver rates. Everyone Is being duped. We can only conclude that IRC is a self-centered organization, serving only its officers—maybe providing them with something else for their resumes—and that its feepayers are being shafted. Until IRC is resturctured, its philosophy clarified, and its money spent wisely, feepayers and dorm studetns will be getting the raw deal. And one of the biggest crimes of all Is that unsuspecting students —next year's freshmeo—will probably receive a bunch of IRC propaganda this summer about the organization’s effectiveness. IRC is neither a dorm government or an able activity-sponsoring organization. It has become an in-bred Ellicott, ego-pleasing, slipendbearing organization for its officers who say, "Give us a chance." For the last few years, IRC has been given that opportunity.

If he can’t write, why the fuck doesn’t he just shut up, we’ve seen enough of these, pitiful, "I don’t know what the hell to write columns.” Unfortunately, I’m obligated to bore you with the print in this space once every two weeks. If fail to do it I up, then I’ve got all these people ragging on me, "gee there are a million things you can talk about, it’s a wide wonderful, fascinating, crisis-afflicted world out there, you must be able to write something." But what if I don’t feel like entertaining or challenging, or jerking myself off this week? What if I can't find a subject, character or situation to inspire me. Although I hate to think that I'm so vacuous as to be unable to create once every fourteen days. Perhaps I’m m need of a muse, even a used one will do.

I T^T elicited a knowing look of derision from a good friend of mine who then proceeded to tear my writing to ribbons. While conceding that I have a flair, for description, he berated my stuff for a paucity of clear thought and an absence of coherent development. Headers want to be dropped clues, they don't want to struggle around in the ambiguous darkness you’ve created for them. And they want a voice, a clear, consistent unwavering voice which will tie things together. It’s alright to use different voice textures, but if your voice is all schized out then it merely confuses the reader, pointing to a confused writer. 1 feel no embarrassment in admitting that i am Indeed a confused writer. My usual style is bludgeoning the reader with a wealth of ostensibly selfexplanatory description and then steering these into some kind of moral statement. I have yet to develop the type of skill needed to pull something as brazen and arrogant as this off effectively. You gotta be good at transition and subtle plot devices. You not only must have a story to tell but the ability to tell it. knowing what to include and not to include. George Orwell, Isaac Bashevis Singer and even Leon Uris are excellent models. There you have it for whatever its worth: my tortured confession. Right now, I can hear you asking, why are you unburdening yourself to me about your ineptitudes?. Well perhaps you have similar writing anxieties in which case you might be able to identify with another writer’s traumas.

However, a few weeks ago, I was present In the Fillmore Room where an “informal” discussion (an open meeting) was taking place on the problems in Iran. There were students shouting, waving flags, accusing each group of attrocities and generally I having themselves quite a “good” time. I originally was in Squire to see my DUE advisor, but was stopped by all the shouting. At first, I just stood and listened, but as I did a short woman of about 30 came up to me, wearing a Communist party button on her lapel, and tried to convince me that the United States government instigates world disorder. She then wanted to know if would like a newspaper she carried, which I believe was called The Revolutionary Worker or something like it. I opposed her viewpoint and was labeled an ignorant person and an Imperialist. Another gentleman came up to me, as he had thought said something to him, and proceeded to tell me about the revolution that will take place in this I I country when everyone revolts (he said that he is a self proclaimed anarchist and an enemy of the U.S. government). I did not agree with his views, and was called a dupe of Davicl Rockefeller and The Tri-Lateral Commission, the real rulers of the world. What is the point to all this? While I agree that it is their right to free speech, why must I be called an imperialist, warmongering dupe of the American government (controlled by David Rockefeller and the Tri-Lateral Commission)? I askjrvhy the Communist party, anarchists, and other assorted anti U.S. groups are trying It influence the members of U.S.’s student and faculty body? These people have nothing good to say about the U.S. They seem to forget that It is only in this country, and others in the free world that they can cut down any government or belief ttjat they choose. Why do Third World nations convenierrtl|fTorget the fact that it Is we who keep their economies afloat, not to add teed their millions? Perhaps most importantly, we keep this world free of domination by the Soviet Union; if this Is such a good system, why then do people risk their lives to escape from East Berlin in the West? Or jump Soviet ships to gain asylum in the U.S.? I have unsaid the reasons why. At this point, I respectfully ask just what the fuck is going on? Why can’t these people look at the good things the U.S. has done, and is doing, tor the world? I am sick and tired of hearing-this shit about Uncle Sam exploiting the world. I think those that berate the U.S. should get their shit together and look at what good the U.S. does for the world. Mark Molnar In response to the December 3rd Black Student Union protest I must say that it was about time. As a black student in this University I must say that I am fed up. Too often we as black students are forced to fade into the blob of white madness that surrounds us and attempts to shape us into it's awkward form. I have no intention of letting this happen to me. I have no desire of becoming affiliated with a group of people who are under the impression that they are the most intelligent and the most superior group of people on the face of the earth. White people are under the misconception that they are somehow responsible for the rest of us here on earth. Well you are in no way responsible for me you have given mo nothing and you owe me nothing. 1 pay my tuition here not your "middle class white family" so you can stop patting yourself on the back. If you don't understand the demands of the Black Student Union try asking a black student while you stare at him in class like you're amazed he's breathing or afraid he’ll learn a little more than you will. Turn down your blaring stereo and put down your can of beer and listen to what the black man has to say you just might learn something. When you start listening we will be satisfied. Not until white Americans open their closed minds will we all be able to make it to class on time. Name withheld upon request Not racial To the Editor: As a concerned student am writing over the alleged I conflicts between blacks and whites. In an article printed in Wednesday's The Spectrum several incidents between blacks and whites were reported. Did it ever occur to the people printing The Spectrum that not all fights are of a racial motive? There might be trouble at times but people fight and argue everyday. I think The Spectrum and the Black Student Union (BSU) better reevaluate their positions. If the BSU wants equal rights for blacks that is fine. Now that the BSU has made the headlines in every school newspaper and even the Buffalo paper4,they can stop their marches and interference of the Puses. I feel it is time for orderly and civilized discussiqhs. When the BSU starts to talk I am sure we will alj take the time to listen. There is enough trouble aH around us today without having to deal with this. Name withheld upon request P.S.—To exemplify this point, a Catholic and a Jewish floormate had a fight tonight. Unfortunately they were both white. Does it matter? Your money To the Editor: The problem of student (and faculty) apathy has gone a little too far anti it is to the degree that this indifference is “feeding” itself. am referring directly to the appropriation o. student funds which S.A. I President Joel Mayersohn believes is "fair” (The Spectrum Dec. 5, 1979). How many students and faculty know where the total S.A. fee revenue of $905,000.00 goes? And then the Black Student Union and all BI<k0 ask for “better appropriations’*? Look at the from the 1979-80 S.,A. Budget; Academic Clubs are listed as twenty-six clubs getting a yearly total of $7,500.00 (with the F.E.A.S. actually consisting of eight different clubs) and one organization, the B.S.U., gets $18,750.00 (including $750.00 for phones?). Minority Organizations as a whole (not including the International Clubs) are a total of $35,100.00!! Now a call for appropriations? DAMN STRAIGHT! Student indifference has allowed (and elected) some responsible (?) officers to appropiate funds and look what happens. If the academic clubs (this is an academic institution, isn't it?) could get more funds they could better serve the students, professionally and socially, and the number of Interested students would be tremendous! Why haven't you read the budget? Copies are available to any student at the S.A. Office in Talbert Hall. Where is your activities fee going? How much of it comes back to you??? appropriated better Name withheld upon request Power and support To the Editor: I am nauseated when I read some of the recent letters to the editor concerning Black students protest against racism. It furthers my analysis of how our socialization in a racist society manifests itself and fucks over not only Black but all Third World People. Why don’t priveledged white people see through It all and realize how racism is used by our capitalist, imperialist country to divide the people? Why don't people stop to question the ideas and stereotypes we have been socialized to think? Why can’t racists try to understand the oppression of Black students at this university and use their white skin priveledge in a way that can stop instead of perpetuating racism at U.B. As a white woman I give support and power to all efforts, actions and demands of the black students at this university to try and change their situation.

I am hungry, upset, and annoyed. It is now 2:30 p.m. on Sunday, December 2, and I have just returned from the sub-shop located in Governors, which is the dormitory in which I live. I awoke at noon to discover the subshop, which is the cafeteria for students in Governors who are on weekend Food Service, had a line equal in length to that which exists in any unemployment office in New York City. The line was extremely long, and I estimated it would lake no shorter than 45 minutes to obtain food. So I left the sub-shop and went back upstairs with the idea of going back down to the subshop in a little while hoping the line would be shorter. When 12:30 rolled around I discovered my idea as a bad one for the line at the sub-shop was oot any shorter. I discovered the same at 1:00, 1:30, 2:00, and 2:30. The line never shortened, in fact, the last time I checked it was a long as ever. Moreover, I was out of luck in using my Food Service card any longer because as soon as the clock strikes 2:30 the sub-shop no longer allows a student to use it until 4:30. When I went back to my room I realized that Food Service had just profited off of me. I paid Food Service to eat breakfast this morning. But because I chose not to wait on a line that stretched from here to eternity Food Service still collected my money. I am unhappy because I do not know whether this is fair or not. I am not alone. When I wait on the sub-shop line on weekend Food Service I hear students in front of me, and especially in back of me, complaining. It is truly an inconvenience for students living in Governors, many of whom pay over $500 a semester for food, to get up on Saturday and Sunday mornings and wait on a long, long line in order to fill their stomachs with food. What is worse, however, is that Governors students on weekend Food Service have little choice. It is a certainty that Food Service would reply by stating that Governors students on weekend Food Service have the option of going to Ellicott’s cafeteria to obtain food. Is it not unfair to ask these students to .get up early Saturday and Sunday mornings to catch a ,bus in order to eat breakfast? When you combine the ’two facts of winter in Buffalo being consistently cold ‘and students of whom many are paying over $500 a semester for food, it makes me wonder whether the option of going ip'eat at Ellicott’s cafeteria is 'reasonable or not. We are paying a lot of money to eat. We are not paying a lot of money to catch a Bluebird eat. If a student is paying hundreds of dollars to 'eat, should not that student be allowed to eat in his or her own dormitory? If the answer is no, then we should not be paying hundreds of dollars for Food Service to feed us. ■ s it not unfair, to a certain extent, that students living in Governors are paying higher and higher prices every year for services rendered by Food Service, as are students living in Ellicott and Main Street who are on Food Service, and the cafeteria located in Governors remains closed on the weekend while the cafeterias located in Ellicott and Main Street remain open? ,It, is the closing of the Governors' cafeteria on the weekends that causes the problem of excessive lines at its sub-shop. Combine this with Ellicott cafeteria not being a viable option, and students expressing anger problem. Whenever I do wait on the line, and receive the food I ordered, I sometimes find the cost of my order is above the credit allotted to me by Food ServicefTJeing on weekend Food Service I am allowed, for example, $2.75 for dinner. Anything above that comes out of my pocket, and I think it is worthwhile to note that if a student on weekend Food Service does not want to walk around hungry it is almost always going to cost above $2.75. Is it not unfair for students in Governors, or anywhere else, to be forced to pay extra money for dinner on the weekends when many of us already have paid over $500 a semester for food? That sum of money is quite high per semester, why should we be charged anynpre? Moreover, dinner through Food Service on a weekday costs well over $3'. Yet, Food Service only allows those on a weekend contract a credit of $2.75 for dinner at the sub-shop. Why is there a difference? Students want to eat just as much on the weekends as they do on weekdays. But the difference between the cost of both dinners seems to suggest that Food Service makes a difference between a student’s appetite during the weekdays and a student’s appetite during the weekends. It is generally recognized that the lines presently existing at the Governors sub-shop on the weekends will subside next semester because of the numbers of students not wanting to continue on weekend Food Service. It seems the lines themselves currently being endured by Governors students serves as a deterrent in wanting to continue on weekend Food Service for the second semester (the quality of the food being another). Is not Food Service, who are always willing to initiate food contracts with as many students as possible discouraging students living in Governors from .signing future contracts by rendering an insufficient weekend service? Or, at the minimum, rendering an inferior weekend service as compared to the weekend services rendered at Ellecott and Main Street? If this holds true, then Food Service is defeating its own goal of recruiting as many potential students as possible to sign food contracts with. Why is the Governors cafeteria closed on weekends? Why do contract students have to pay extra money for weekend meals they have already paid for? How does Food Service justify rendering insufficient services oh' the weekends at Governors while Main Street and Ellicott students on weekend Food Service eat better prepared meals in the absence of long lines to wait on?

The record $200 billion spent on health this year will make little or no impact on the general level of public health, the report claims. Entitled “Healthy People,” the report represents a significant official criticism of U.S. health policy. It attests that medical research has reached the limits of costeffectiveness, and that future improvements in public health should ,be sought through a reorientdtion of health policy that stresses diesease prevention rather than treatment. The Surgeon General’s report cites a similar recent HEW report, which predicts that further expansion of the present U.S. health care system will produce “only marginal increases in the overall health status of the American people.” Greater gains, it says, could be achieved through efforts to change health habits and clean up environmental toxins that produce disease. A revamping of the basic health system to stress prevention rather than treatment of illness has been advocated by increasing numbers of health professionals and critics of the medical ’ establishment. They argue, for instance, that the one modern disease that has decreased in the last ten years is heart disease, and that this decrease has been achieved through a change in eating habits in the U.S. Americans eat less, and they eat less fat, according to the Agriculture Department’s nutrition survey. These critics also argue that the reason so little money is spent on prevention and health promotion is that the medical establishment is overly biased in favor of the more profitable treatment-oriented research. The National Institutes of Health (N1H) have been a particular target of criticism since, being the government’s major disburser of medical research funds, they are seen as the trend-setter for health allocations. “Over the years the National Institutes of Health have developed a very strong commitment to basic research,” says Dr. Richard Strohman, director of U.C. Berkeley’s Health and Medical Science Program and a proponent of a more prevention-oriented system. “That’s terrific. because we need it. But that doesn’t necessarily have a connection with rising levels of health. “If we want to raise levels of health,” Strohman adds, “we have to turn the whole context of NIH around to researching health rather than disease. “Unfortunately,” he says, “NIH has its own funding patterns, and is very resistant to change. My guess is that it will be at least 10 years before much is changed in the way of allocating more to prevention measures and the study of health.” In response to such criticism, the National Institutes of Health indicate that they are increasing promotional and preventive activites, but that the difficulty in making a major shift in that direction lies not with their funding patterns, but with their enacting legislation. “The mission of NIH,” says Communications Director “is to perform biomedical research. Any fundamental shift away from this priority would have to be initiated at the legislative level.” Whaley, But while there has been gathering support for a new emphasis on disease prevention and health promotion from the President, Congress, HEW and the Institute of Medicine, the Surgeon General’s report indicates that expenditures for preventive measures have actually been reduced in the last few years. According to the report, only four percent of the federal health dollar is currently allocated to disease prevention and health promotion activities. Further, the report estimates that only one percent to two percent of total U.S. health outlays (including private and foundation funds) are spent on such efforts. The problem with reorienting the health care system, however, is not solely one of insufficient funding for preventive medicine. Other difficulties pointed out by various observers include deficiencies in medical school programs, a general lack of specialists in prevention areas, and an apparent apathy on the part of the American public. Due to the emphasis on research and treatment, preventive medicine, which tends to be a less lucrative specialty than many others. According to the Surgeon General’s report, prevention. Supporters of preventive medicine caution that increased prevention activities should not mean reduced treatment efforts. "We should increase our commitment to prevention and health promotion activites.” says'Dr. StroHman, “but not at the expense of treatments for the sick. If we ever get to the point of saying let’s just let these people diet and work on keeping it from happening again, then we’re really in trouble.” 1.

The win raises UB’s record to 4-4. Despite the victory, Buffalo was still not fully satisfied with the performance. “We had 13 minor penalties,” stated Bulls’ coach Ed Wright. “We’ve just got a frustrating group of individuals due to the poor officiating we’ve had. We still lack discipline —taking too many ridiculous penalties. We’re not playing our game becuse we’re so concerned about the officials.” “That’s been killing us all year,” said UB co-captain Tommy Wilde about the penalties. “We should be able to beat them easily. We’re a skating team—we should be able to outskate them.” The Bulls opened the scoring midway through the first period, when the explosive line of Wilde, John Gallagher and Dale Guynn combined their efforts. Gallagher ended up with a rebound shot, which he tipped into the net for his fourth goal in the last three games. The “red” line has accounted for 1 1 goals in the past five games each of the three individuals scoring a hat trick. Neither team managed to put the puck in the net again until the 11-minute mark of the second — period. “Play was initially broken up at Hat trick skate to Potsdam For gems from the Jewish Bible Phone 875-4265 Room" Wing Ding Thing One double order of Chicken tfings FREE with the purchase of a double.

UB defenseman Greg Bauer was in the Potsdam zone, and when teammate Ken Sawyer fired a slapshot, Bauer deflected it in for his first goal of the season. The game has started off with both teams playing a very tight, close checking game—what Wilde describes as “boring"—until the third period rolled around. As Narduzzo explained, the Bulls became a bit sloppy while holding a 3-0 lead. “We thought for a little bit that it [the game) would be shadows of Friday night’s game (where UB relinquished a 3-0 lead in the third period). The good play of goalie Danny Kowalchuk kept us in the game when we got sloppy. We’re fortunate that we came out winning,” Narduzzo revealed. “We were determined not to let what happened last night (against Geneseo) happen again,” echoed Bauer. Kowalchuk, who was awarded first star of the game, almost recorded his first shutout of the season in his starting debut. But his shutout bid was ruined when a controversial call was ruled a goal at 3:32 of the final period. TWIN BILL: The hockey Bulls kept busy this past weekend, splitting a two-game home stand. UB triumphed over Potsdam Stale Saturday night (above) as goaltender Dan Kowalchuk turned in a nearly {lawless performance. Friday night, on the other hand, Buffalo wasted a three-goal third period lead and tost to Ganeseo State In overtime (below). “It was definitely not a goal,” stated Kowalchuk. “1 thought the guy’s stick was above his shoulder (an illegal play) because he hit me in the head—and when I’m on my knees my head is Just about even with the crossbar. The referee was ruling no goal, and 1 went over just to be sure. But somehow he had changed his mind, and the goal counted.” But one minute later, UB’s Dale Guynn scored a powerplay goal. From that point on,the Bulls played as if determined to hold on to the 4-1 lead. Looking ahead to future games, Buffalo will be facing some tough competition Hobart College caps off (JB Figures.

UB’s John Gallagher’s hat trick was as good a figure as Coach Ed Wright could ask for—and it led UB to a 6-3 win at Brockport Wednesday Night. Then take a figure like 18.

When a team (UB) gets 18 minor penalties, something somewhere isn’t right. “1 don’t think we played particularly good,” commented Bulls’ coach Ed Wright. ‘‘We’re still not together as a team.

We didn’t take boarding of charging (penalties) —we took a lot of ‘sticking’ penalties—slashing, high sticking—not really good ones. But some were necessary. We had to take them in order to prevent Brockport from scoring.” Goalie hurt Another figure—53. Brockport rifled 53 shots at UB goalie Billy Kaminska. But they managed to get just three by him. Kaminska even played injured. With four minutes remaining in the game, he fractured a finger on his stick-side. Thinking it was only a bruised fingernail and we’d like to show them up.” Wilde summed the game up best when he said, “It was pretty sluggish, we didn’t skate too well and we didn’t forecheck- we didn’t hit anybody. But we won.” Bulls because it was bleeding, {he goalie shrugged it off apd commuted in the nets, kamm&a field oh'long enough' for the Bulls to come out victorious, not finding out until the next day that the finger was fractured.

They play aggressively, and 1 don’t know if you can call their style of play cheap, but they intimidated us. They out-hustled us, and 1 think we’re ' lucky we came out with a win.” Now if only the Bulls can figure out how to keep it up. —Elizabeth Reinish �•O I - ** Mingling with the ‘big’ guys at baseball talks in Toronto by Carlos VallaHno Sports Editor TORONTO, ONTARIO—There they were. All the biggies, all the “names.” Baseball’s elite running loose in the Sheraton Hotel’s lobby, discussing possible trades and over teams’ rosters. going Sportswriters-'-identifiable because of clashing jackets and dress pants —notebook and pen in hand, 'chased after them. A general state of confusion pervaded the atmosphere at the week-long Baseball General Managers Winter Meetings held in Toronto last week. The main topic of discussion was not player trades but rather the lack of them. One major trade was transacted while I was there (Wednesday afternoon)—the Toronto Blue Jays sent first baseman Chris Chambliss and shortstop Luis Gomez to the Atlanta Braves in exchange for outfielder Barry BonneU, hurler Joey McLaughlin and in fielder Pat Rockett. “We needed a lefty hitter in our ballclub,” indicated Atlanta general manager John Mullen, commenting on Chambliss. “We had to get an everyday player who hit lefthanded.” The winter meetings are a rather informal gathering of baseball executives. Mostly, people congregate into small groups while standing in the lobby. Tq set up trade talks, the persons involved request a private meeting room from the hotel, where they are to discuss .'business without outside , free - “It was more exciting in the old days,” said the New York Daily News’ Dick Young, the affable, white-haired dean of sportswriters. “Before the free agents, clubs traded players—now players trade clubs. You would just wait around for trades to break. 1 remember one day we had 12 trades take place.” Although a lot of discussion seemed to be taking place among general managers, scouts, farm directors, minor league officials and what-not, there were not too many important transactions taking place. “Player contracts are getting to the point where it’s not easy to trade them,” explained Tom Mee, the Minnesota Twins’ Public Relations Director. “Each contract has so many contingencies and special clauses that everyone becomes leery of making deals. “Club representatives don’t remember every detail of every player’s contract. So you may end up trading for someone whose unknown clauses are impossible to live with.” interference; M Major league, clubs use their scouts extensively to ghther information. “Each team brings three or four scouts to the meetings,” revealed Kansas City Royals scout Tom Ferrick. “Their job is to contact the other organizations, find out who’s available and bring the information back to the general managers.” Typical of the general attitude at the winter meetings, Ferrick explained what his team hoped to accomplish in Toronto. “We’re really not up here to make any trades,” he said. “We feel we have enough young people coming up who can fill our weaknesses and make up for the three games we finished behind.” Later, however, the Royals made a major deal with the California Angels. Not for sale Many clubs attended the off-season gathering only to find out their payers’ worth as interpreted by rival organizations. “We just knew that there were clubs interested in trading with us and we want to know what they have to offer us,” Ferrick said. Probably of more interest to UB students would be the Mets and Yankees’ roles at the meetings. “The Mets arc looking to strengthen everything,” assessed Young, a long-time observer of (he perennial cellar dwellers in the New York Daily News. “They had a trade all ready—Craig Swan for the Angels’ Willie Mays Aikens and Dickie Then, but she (Lorinda Deroulet, Mets Chairperson of the Board) didn’t approve it and it fell through. "The Yankees don’t need much of anything. Rick Cerone, their new catcher, is no Thurman Munson but he’s the righthander they wanted,” Young added. The press was sumptuously accomodated in the Sheraton’s Essex Room. Several rows of tables with a typewriter at each place were decorated with casual snacks and a virtual sea of Tree beer —courtesy of co-sponsor Labatt's of Canada. Despite the distractions. Young argued that the writers put in a full day’s work at the meetings. “I just write columns now, but for a writer like Phil Pepe (also of the New York Daily News) it’s a 20-hour day. While it’s exciting it’s also a lot of work." Sitting at the typewriter, munching nuts with beer in hand, I realized how tough this assignment was. But like the rest, 1 wouldn’t mind coming back next year. * Amherst Campus revving up as site of winter sports Winter will be a bit more bearable this season with the development of a program for skiing and ice skating on the „■ Amherst Campus. The hub of activity is University Outfitters, a rental and information center found in the Wilkeson Quad of the Ellicott Complex. Headed by Charles “Dusty” Miller, the Director of Recreational Programs, the center has cross country skies, snowshoes and a variety of camping gear for rent to anyone with a valid university D. Rental fees will be nominal ranging from $3 per day to SI8 per week (plus deposit)—about half the charge in area stores. Miller hopes the Tudor-style room with its potbelly stove will be more than just a rental service. Part of the funds he received from the University Wide Program Committee are being used to stock a resouce library of recreational guides and other outdoor-oriented materials he said. Miller also plans to offer workshops on the use and care of equipment. A “trip” bulletin board will make the “availability of selfgenerated trips a more positive choice,” he said.

This is revenge night. They have a lot of returning starters, but it’s a whole different year.” Albany comes in with a record of 4-0 against Buffalo’s 3-1. The Danes swamped Oswego by 30 points, and beat a strong Kings Point team by 10. Describing the audience for Buffalo State Thursday evening as “the best crowd we’ve seen in Clark in a long time,” Hughes credits them for helping in the overtime win. “They were a great help, both vocal and enthusiastic. When we were down four points with 19 seconds left, it was the yells that pushed us to tie it.” Hughes and the Bulls hope lo defeat both teams using the momentum of the last three victories and anold sports advantage, the hometown crowd. tonight and tomorrow night. Today, at 8 P.M. the UB Bulls will play host to Youngstown State, a strong Division II team from Ohio. Described by UB basketball coach Bill Hughes as “probably the strongest team to come into Clark Gym this year,” Youngstown features Dave Ziegler. The soQhmore guard has already drawn professional interest and promises to be the best individual player to set foot on the Clark Hall court this season.

THE GREAT, IMPOSTER basketball Bulls flexed their muscles and lifted their record to 3-1, defeating the favored Buffalo State Bfcngals, 83-81, in overtime. It was the Bulls second consecutive overtime win. “It’s looking dangerous” Bulls’coach Bill Hughes pointed out. “We won two games in overtime and we’ve been fortunate. It was a big big win for UB. We are alone in first place in the Western Division and the Division champion hosts the SUNY championship” Hugties said, “We came back twice and I’m pleased.” The crowd, the players, the coach —everything was in unison in Clark Hall. It was almost inevitable that the Bulls would win this one and make it exciting. Like the Great Flood, it was going to happen, but it was hard to make the Bengals believe. The first half of the game was continuously interrupted by foul calls. Each team took the liberty of hacking players, forcing the officials to toot their whistles 35 times. “They called the game way too close. Probably because of the kind of game it was, they didn’t want it to get out of hand,” Hughes noted. Hughes had his team playing man-to-man defense the first half but found his team down 39-31 at the half. “We stayed with the man-to-man hoping not to fall too far behind. 1 wanted the half to hurry up and end before we got way behind. 1 switched to a zone in the second half and it got us back in the lead”, Hughes reflected. “1 didn’t want to play zone from the start and give them a chance to adjust at halftime". Next time Nate Bouie, UB’s leading scorer with 22 points, came alive in the second half igniting a spirited Buffalo defense with some key blocked shorts. He was also given the opportunity to put the game out of reach with several trips to the free throw line. Bouie missed many of them, but managed to drop in the important ones. Grinning from ear to car, he remarked, “I’ll get ’em next time”. The lead seesawed back and forth in the final minutes of regulation until costly Bull errors gave the Bengals a three-point lead with less than two minutes left. Tony Smith and Kevin McMillan proceeded to foul out, leaving UB without two key players. Cordell Jackson, sensing that UB needed a drove the lane with three seconds left, tapping in a rebound to tie the affair 70 at the end of regulation play. “We are the greatest,” Cordell beamed. The teams cautiously approached the overtime period, but soon resumed their slam-bang play. The Bulls grabbed the leading a hurry, but Buffalo State was not about to die and managed to tie the game several times before succumbing. With two minutes left, Bouie again took charge, blocking a shot and driving for two consecutive layups. He fouled out on a charging call after the second shot, reducing UB’s roster to only five eligible players. Harold Walker, the Alabama import, filled his shoes, cashing in on a falling onehanded short that gave the Bulls the winning edge. Jackson finished it up FRANK ABAGNALE with a key foul shot. “I had to get this guy to beg the coach to put me in”, joked Walker pointing to an unidentified UB player.

The actual implementation of the State program has proposed criteria for citizen eligibility are a shutoff threat from a fuel company, and a minimal cash reserve. After customers apply for assistance at a local government office, the State orders the dealer to continue service, promising to directly send the supplier a check. Some legislative aides acknowledge that months may pass before final payments reach dealers. yet to be resolved. Two Biting winds rattle apartment windows as an elderly couple feebly ward off.the cold with blankets. Their heating bills haye virtually doubled in the last few years and last Winter they barely had enough money to cover the rent. But a slew of new laws may help New Yorkers cope with high heating bills this Winter. Federal and State programs recently legislated will aid senior citizens and the working poor—both groups which spend a large portion of their income on heat. The laws prevent fuel company shutoffs to late-paying customers, hoping to avoid previous tragedies of victims freezing to death in their frigid apartment. In addition to a federal program aiding welfare families, the New York State Legislature recently overrode two Governor Hugh L. Carey vetos—only the second and third times the Legislature has overridden a governor’s veto in over MX) years. Carey had disapproved a bill granting a $35 tax credit to senior citizens earing under $14,000 -per year, and one providing up to'$200 for families eamm| under $13,400 annually. Carey had vetoed the bills on the grounds that the State budget would be jeopardized. One (he home front Buffalo’s major hear supplier, National Fuel Gas (NFG) is conferring with local legialators. NFG spokesman Peter Boyce said the possible late government payments,-4s. a minor consideration, explaining that “it’s better to wait for a guaranteed payment” than not getting it at all. NFG could withstand a temporary cash flow stoppage, he said. Carey also signed a bill that could benefit all New Yorkers for the forseeable future, whereas the vetoed bills may be a one-shot deal. The new law repeals the State sales tax on home heating purchases—including wood, electricity, oil, and gas. Frank Mauro contested Carey’s claim. He said the State treasury has actually benefitted from inflation, explaining that high prices produce higher sales tax revenues. According to Mauro, as long as inflation outpaces State spending, the State could even lower taxes. He estimated the legislated revenue loss to be a small portion of the total budget. Yet Carey has indicated other /‘compensations,” possibly increased taxes, may be TteeesSary to counteract the anticipated shortfall. Mauro questioned the need for any increase, reiterating his stance that the State budget is basically intact saying, “I forsee a natural growth in the revenue stream.” ... .

Until the State program is finalized, many Buffalonians are applying for existing federal.aid. Helen Leahy of the Mayor’s office for Senior Citizens estimated that over 1000. applications were recently filed in City Hall.

Buffalo's The Who concert 'will ‘ » ... v ' by Tim Switaia Utak Editor * • « _ • • ‘ • *' ‘ , • ■ ••" >■ ' »•’> ■■ With the stunning tragedy surrounding The Who’s Cincinnati performance in the forefront of America’s thoughts, all eyes focused on group’s subsequent performance here Tuesday evening. Those eyes included reporters ranging from Buffalo to Toronto to Time magazine among the sold-out crowd of 17,200 “Everybody was looking to see what was going to happen in Buffalo,” said Ed Vice President for Harvey and Corky Productions, the loejQ promoters. “I received calls all day long, from London to*Kansas City, from the Los Angeles Times to the Washington Post." The incident that occurred at Cincinnati’s Riverfront Colliseum Monday evening, resulting in the trampling deaths of 11 young people, started within an estimated crowd of 1600 people that were waiting for “festival flee. TO I , ■f seating.” The seating, which in actuality is standing room for approximately 6000, was anticipated by the'crowd that assembled hours before the expected 8 p.m. show start. * ■ - ■ .| Extra security The general admission seating, on a first-come-first-servcd basis, coupled with the lack ofopen entrances to the Colliseum, has been pointed to by press as the primary cause of the tragedy. In Buffalo, extra precautions were taken by Harvey and Corky to avoid any possibilities of a recurrence. Security personnel, which normally numbers 100, was increased to 230. Announcements of a time schedule and security procedures was released to four major radio stations in Buffalo aptj read at periodic, half-hour intervals. No general admjssipn seats were available for this appearance of The Who, even prior to the Cincinnati debacle. “Those general admission seats really Vnade the difference,”, Tice stressed. “General admission seats haven’t been available in the City for flB m. **■* 1 ■ r # years.” In Cincinnati, 30.friends of the victims held a candlelight vigil to ask for an explanation to the deaths and a ban on all general admission seating in the future. Electric Factory Inc., the Cincinnati promoters, have cancelled • two major upcoming concerts. Meanwhile, much of the world ponders the reasons for what many have 1 termed a “totally freakish accident. Abramsky, speaking to Knight News Michael Detroit 'psychologist Service, imputed the tragedy to a “blurring effect” during which a person’s sense of self is lost and the mob becomes the Identity. Abramsky attributed the “effect” to a lowered tolerance for frustration through liquor and drug abuse. But UB social psychologist Dean Pruitt, noting the difficulty of longdistance analysis, speculated that the occurrence might be explained in “1 non-emotional terms.” “As I understand it, it was.a situation where everyone wanted to get the best seats,” he remarked. “People in the back probably didn’t realize people Were down until they were upon them.” When asked whether he felt the charisma of The Who accented the crowd’s behavior, Pruitt suggested that it “might have heightened the motivation to get good seats” but probably had little to do with “not being . . able to think clearly.” ’ ' - Inside: Getting an ‘A’ for teaching—P. 4 MY GENERATION: A sold out crowd oj 17,200 Ians Invaded the Aud Tuesday -night to enjoy those “Mods,” the Who.

Rutkowski announced last week that a contract has been signed authorizing the expenditure of $100,000 from Erie County to aid the City’s Minority Contractor Assistance Program. The program, viewed as a model across the Country, was established by the City to aid minority entry into the mainstream of the construction field. This is unique because of the “hands-off’ approach applied to firm allocations. Already the recipient of $450,000 in HUD money, the program will be implemented by the Local Development Corporation, chaired by Griffin. During the program’s first year, it provided assistance to 21 contractors in amounts ranging from $2000 to $50,000. For every $1 invested, Griffin explained, $14 in contracts is generated. As a result, contractors have been able to successfully bid on contracts including those for NFTA, the City of Buffalo, Erie County and the New York State Dormitory Authority. The ,1100.000 grant, comes at a limp, when, .the. City’s .original allocation is depleted and should allow the program to continue without interruption, reported Griffin. The Mayor and Rutkowskl called the program a “remarkable success.” * A Mayorial investigation uncovered grants and loans awarded to relative of employees of the City’s Neighborhood Revitalization Division. One alledged offender—City Budget Director Salvator D. Padalino—decided to resign pending the outcome of an investigation by federal officials and the Erie County District Attorney’s office. The charges seem to back up changes of nepotism and cronyism of which Griffin opponents have long complained. The awards apparently violate federal Block Grant regulation and the terms of the City’s contract for the program. They do not, however, violate any State criminal statutes said City Corporation Attorney Joseph P. McNamcra. Padalino—who lives with his mother—reported only a fraction of his income to keep household income under the $9100 limit, a clear violation of the City’s code of ethics. Mayor Griffin is firm in his support for Padalino and announced that the City will not conduct further investigations.

These positions, he said, “start at a couple thousand dollars more" than the starting salary for campus police.

Tripling refers to the cramming of three students into a dormitory room designed for two. Director of Undergraduate Admissions at Stony Brook Daniel Frisbee told The Spectrum that 1200 students are presently tripled at the University. Frisbee acknowledged that Stony Brook is losing students as a result of the housing shortage. “We have found that some have declined admission when told housing was not available,” he said. According to The Statesmen— Stony Brook’s campus paper—Director of Residential Life Claudia Justy, “We had originally projected that de-tripling would be completed by the middle of this semester, but several factors have slowed the process.” These reasons include fewer no-shows this —continued on page 18— Teedw 1h* year and Ms (twtonta David Lazerson strenas learning by experience Teacher of the Year by Jack Heileyig Stuff Writer r'lVT Spectrum The Buffalo Public School System has named A UB American Studies graduate the 1979 Teacher of the Year. David B. Lazerson, who completed his studies in 1972 after four years of undergraduate work here, has been teaching elementary children for the past three years at the Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. community school in downtown Buffalo. Lazerson earned his award teaching students with average IQ’s, but who have special learning difficulties. By constantly trying to motivate the students, Lazerson finds he can overcome many of their problems. ‘‘A lot of these kids have trouble becoming motivated because of past failures,” he maintained. ‘‘My work of setting up special programs has gotten them excited about learning.” One of the programs he has instituted is the Freaky Pet Center, where the students are responsible for a number of pets, including an African underwater frog and a hermit crab. “The duty the students are given reinforces in a practical way responsibility and respect,” Lazerson mm explained. 1 Score a touchdown Another program offers students a trip to a Sabres hockey or a Bills football game, if they cap score a “touchdown” in a classroom game. Each time a student reads a book, he gains 10 yards. If he gains 100 yards in one month, then he wins a trip to the game. Still another innovation, one that Lazerson worked on while earning his Masters at Buffalo State College, is the Peer Tutoring Program- Lazerson presented this idea, along with the Freaky Pet Center plan, at a teachers’ conference in Scotland. Peer tutoring requires his students to go into other classrooms to help teach younger students. “This gives the child a feeling that ‘1 can contribute, I am useful’,” he said. Lazerson got the idea for this program while studying at the Rabbinical College of America. There, two students would work together, discussing their studies and exchanging ideas. “I thought it was a tremendous system,” he commented. The teacher further developed this idea at Buffalo State while working with 60 students in a college learning lab. This program was the topic of his Masters thesis. Lazerson is a lanky, 6 foot 1 inch Buffalo native who took his current job after two years of travel in Europe. His long beard and yamacha are carryovers from the four months he spent in Israel. ivj Learn through experience Lazerson also uses an outdoor educational program, where he takes the students on field trips, so they can learn by experience. “Instead of reading about fanning, let them see that milk really comes frojn cows, and that vegetables don’t grow on the supermarket shelf,” he stressed. Lazerson is working on this idea in pursuit of his doctorate at UB. He is studying Urban Education, emphasizing experiencial education. As an undergraduate, he studied the youth culture of the sixties. ‘‘It was downright crazy,” he recalled, describing UB. He played the bongos in an acid rock band called The Dendrines and was involved in many student demonstrations. In one demonstration, the now Teacher of the Year and some of his friends climbed Hayes Hall and played the bells in the tower while wearing war paint. Lazerson explained that he would eventually like to teach college, but for now, his work is cut out for him. “1 feel that most people who go into teaching ere not prepared for what they are trying to do, especially when problem children are involved,” he remarked. | o.\ viii i« H \» \« > isn 1 THIS ( 0l l‘0\ l«OOII FOR A SIM.IF, IRIMII FIUFS.

Eventually all schools will be invited to participate. The one-year grant was awarded to AAUP'by the Office of Civil Rights of the Department of Health Education and Welfare (HEW). It is intended to help educate faculty members with regard to problems of the handicapped. AAUP is using part of the grant to help set up regional workshops in Boston, Washington, Dallas, San Francisco and Chicago. According to the Director of AAUP’s project Faculty Involvement Guy McCombs, the regional workshops are the first part pf a two-phase program started in October to help accommodate the needs of handicapped students. Under Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 post-secondary institutions must take positive actions to accommodate qualified handicapped students. Colleges and universities are required to make “reasonable adjustments” which permit handicapped persons to have comparable access to the same programs and facilities as non-handicapped individuals. The AAUP, founded in 1915, has representatives at 3,000 schools across the country and boasts a membership exceeding 70,000. The new AAUP administered program, according to McCombs, will eventually have at least one faculty member at every college in the country serving as a resource for leadership and guidance in understanding and accommodating the needs of the handicapped. , R. Floss elforls at easing University Ilia lor the hand^a^ped. ‘Independents’ laud the caring They were back up on the second floor, but this time they were not alone. In the Haymes Dining Room Tuesday, down the hall from their old office, the group of handicapped students on campus—held an awards banquet. Students, as well as administrators, received plaques and citations for their efforts to make life at UB a little easier for the handicapped. After a fillet mignon dinner, the guest speaker. University District Councilman Eugene Fahey, asserted that handicapped peoples’ needs must be recognized, -noting that the progress UBhas made "should be an example for other colleges and universities.’’ Plaque recipients deluded President Robert L. Ketter, who shortened jome. of the, red tape in which the Independents, found themselves tangled. When things were not.going as smoothly as they liked, Independent member Dave Shuster said he visited the President’s office. “It was a matter of making a few phone calls to the right people,’’ explained Ketter. Assistant Director of the Physical Plant David Rhoads was instrumental in the building of wheelchair ramps and the redesigning of bathroom facilities. “Ha would come into this office and say, ‘I need someone ill a whfelchair’,” said President of the Independents Colleen Miller. “He was able to understand that everything couldn’t be changed 'frdtt' oBe set of v.wv.-v' guidelines,!’ she continued No labor of love Coordinator of the Office of Services for the Handicapped Bertha Cutcher admitted that the job was not a labor of love and that she shouldn’t be paid for doing it, but felt it was a privilege and a learning experience. Citation recipients included a group of five students from the school of Information and Library Studies who made a video entitled "Access to Life.’’ Student Fred Sandner explained that the video was made for a class .project, and is now used for handicapped orientation awareness by the Independents. “The professor gave a lot of suggestions and we decided to dd something socially oriented," he said. Acting Director of Squire Union Student Activities Robert Henderson worked closely with the Independents in moderating equipment in their office and in providing them easier access to Squire Hall. “We didn’t do anything earth shattering," he said. “We didn’t build any pyramids. The building of ramps and lowering bulletin boards is important. But even more sods the human openness between the students and the administration of the building which exists now. “That’s what is great," he declared. —Tatia Dmyfrffuk . . All schools invited Early in November. Boston University held the First regional workshop for the New England states. Approximately 30 faculty members attended and evaluated it as “successful and useful” according to McCombs. Workshop conferences are taught by individuals who are either handicapped themselves, or who have had broad and direct experience with the handicapped and their problems. Faculty members art given specific resource material and strategies on how to deal with the handicapped. Also, specific problems pertaining to difficulties on individual campuses can be discussed with these instructors. The regional workshops for states from New York to Florida were held this past weekend in Washington, and three other workshops are being set up across the country. Approxmately 35 institutions were represented. According to McCombs, all schools are invited to the workshops, but UB has already responded with a direct “no” issued from the Office of the Dean of UB’s School of Social Work Sherman Merle. When contacted by The Spectrum regarding the invitation. Merle deniedany knowledge of it. Phase two of the project will require those trainedand their colleagues to put on small regional workshops within their area so they can contact other local schools and develop a network of people well versed in the problems of the handicapped. AAUP will also provide technical assistance to schools but additional funding has not yet been discussed. . ' T"D3 CHABAD HOUSE ISO * pre«nt DR.

And though there were no tramplings or injuries incurred at The Who’s concert in Buffalo, there were anti-Iranian banners and chants. Not in recent memory, has American individuality been so lost in a sea of hysterical nationalism. When midwestern high school students march and burn Iranian flags because “that’s how the Iranians are treating us” and the Californians hold an antiIranian rally in Los Angeles, who’s fooling whom? Prior to Cincinnati, the old expression “There’s safety in numbers” was coming back in favor again along with American flags. Cincinnati proved that numbers do not determine what is right. The Iranian confrontation has given many who have a need to belong and feel mighty, a movement onto which they can latch. Termed an “intensely emotional issue” by many, it is easy to understand why so many are so zealous. It is easy for those who still want to believe they live in a country given such a good write-up in their grade school history books to break down the conflict to a simple: “They have our people as hostages and think America sucks so we think they all suck.” Americans have always been taught to fight when their pride is at stake. It is the individual who loses out when majority opinion borne on unwavering emotion shapes the action of a whole. As evidenced in Cincinnati, in the rush to be number one in a long line, we risk losing sight of the people we’ve stepped upon. And Iran has been stepped on—by the U.S. and the Shah. Wer should all question our individual behavior before exercising it collectively—or there could be more victims of irrational stampedes.

While the story was of obvious benefit to the restaurant, the UB community can gain much In good nutrition be becoming aware of and sharing our comfortable environment. We would like to correct a few minor errors though. We use mung bean and alfalfa sprouts, not soy. Though we have not made a profit in a while, when we do make one, it is put back Into the restaurant and not our pockets. Finally, the quote In paragraph number 6 was incorrectly attributed to Tony Del Plato. Mar Mitzler was misquoted via the comment about meat In light of the present world hunger situation in many parts of the world. Once again, thanks for the story and we sincerely hope you all have a happy holdiay season. Tony Del Plato for the Greenfield Street Restaurant Work with pharmacists To the Editor I would like to "espouse mqre corporate propaganda." Marc Ganz In his letter of 12/6/79 states, “The only fact that I see is that pharmacists are willfully violating the Generic Drug Law, arid acting unprofessionally.” I wonder wherd Mr. Ganz obtains his data. He obviously has never bothered to talk to a pharmacist or physician about their feelings toward mandated substitution. I can not speak for all pharmacists, but personally I feel that a generic substitution law is an excellent idea. If Mr. Ganz had bothered to check his unsubstatiated generalizations he would havbe been shocked to find that originally, pharmacists were on to the foremost proponents of a permissive generic substitution law—a law which allowed the pharmacist to dxercise higher professional judgement, after consideration of the patient’s needs The present law contains no input from the consumer, or the pharmacist. How caif a pharmacist “start acting responsively to consumers,” when his hands are tied by ill-conceived, unwleldly legislation? It saddens me to see the hostility displayed by Mr. Ganz towards pharmacists. Perhaps if he would check out some of the facts, he would revise his position, and work with pharmacists, to modify the pissent legislation to a more reponsive form—one vhich will benefit the consumer, in treatment, as well as in the pocketbook.

And yes, it is good therapy to pound on keys instead of on walls or your pillow alone at night. You can put down on paper and make permanent everything you can’t have in real Jife. That man you think you know so well, the one who told you In a moment of weakness that lingered for a year; “I need you,” that lover who says, "You know me better than myself,” the one you want to yell at because he says "Wait. Be patient," while he never looks long enough to see your hurt, on paper he can be had. And thrown away. Phaedrus understands. He sees the sham. So he sits me down to tell me about the poet Frank O’Hara who coined the term ’’personalism”. It goes something like this. Instead of writing what you would like to happen, instead of creating art out of misdirected energy, go do it. Instead of pounding on the keys, go yell at the lover. And he’s winning me over when all of a. sudden, at the same time, we start to laugh. We’ve both remembered something funny—Frank O’Hara was killed by a dune buggy. A dune buggy? Where is the art in that? Love, he knows, is what I’m trying to catch. I write about love just to see it spelled out In front of me even if It’s only in letters like every other word in the world. To capture It in any form pinning it down for posterity, has to do—for now. Over his yogurt, I can see the blue eryeeclouding, warning me “No, no, no." can see him frowning not in anger but in some sort of sadness too heavy to let out aloud. I keep picking at my bagel, a day old and stale; I keep staring through the I hole. V He keeps telling me what a mistake people make when they fall in love and believe It's eternal; I slop him short. He won’t admit It and I’ll never ask, but I know this is not just another chat over lunch to break up the not going to do it day's routine, planned. this was He’s today with a tempermental typewriter whose keys might stick and a head full of ideas too fleeting to be sure they’re his own so he's going to teach me in person.

Two years after cowriting Nick Lowe's recent smash single "Cruel to be Kind" in 1974, Comm looked for his own road to prosperity. While his cohorts plotted the break of the New Wave, the 28-year-old Comm continued to write in what has been called a straight pop mold But Comm thinks the label is confining. "Pop is a meaningless term," he proclaimed as he sipped from a glass of Jack Daniels while sitting on a sink in a storage room at Stage One. "The one term covers an ocean of different styles." Comm uttered his words in a thick British accent. He spoke softly, holding the whiskey glass between his hands while his greenish brown eyes peeked at his interviewers in a cheerfully modest manner. Comm's quiet humility reminded me of a much younger Billy Joel, a performer yet unstained by the pretentions of success. On stage. The Beat banged on their guitars with the ferocity which is the earmark of teenybop raunch and roll Together for eight months, their repertoire includes songs about anything from sweating through a work a day world to lost and forgotten lovers. Their rock and roll exudes an energy which smacked of The Knack, but the group insists their sound is one they can call their own They proved to be an appropriate support act for Ian Comm as their brashness highlighted his bashful charm As The Beat beat, Comm remained perched upon the storage room sink explaining how such an "ordinary guy could reach such success. He disdains gimmicks such as "6-foot platform shoes which don't last for long. "Look at Kiss," he stressed, "the last thing people talk about is what they play." Comm insisted that being normal is his gimmick. He is a musician first, performer second. With Brinsley Schwarz he proved his ear for popular music—witness that he and Nick Lowe co-wrote "Cruel to be Kind" over five years ago. What the band was doing then is in now. His influences are formed from the strata of rock and roll. He's interested in Chuck Berry and The Beatles and the result is a rock-pop fusion.

Tall iron gates from one city, 12-tone marble pillars from another, stand comfortably near metal forms of contemporary art. A stone pathway illuminated by a lantern from a famous Paris cafe weaves back to the entrance. Sisti and his gallery —each inseparable from the other remind a visitor of the’world. The senses are confused as a man in a French beret points to an Italian fresco and speaks of New York's Greenwich, Village. The Gallery and studio—also his residence —is magical and colors this often gray — city. - The renowned artist has been in Allentown for the past 37 years The 19th century mansion is his home and its contents are his life. He exhibits upstairs in front, paints upstairs in back and "sits" in a small, dark, warm room below, street level. Village memories enough to stand in their own beauty.

"We never lose anything and we move things around ■WagaMr t The artist was born in New York's "Little Italy" and recalls memories of his early youth as if they were yesterday's occurrences. He speaks of Sullivan Street, Kelly's nightclub, Washington Square and the Hotel Brevort "I used to scribble away on the sidewalks or tenement walls —anywhere I could get a clean slate," remembers the man who now has —Dannls R. Flo»f ‘You can put drama and Ufa Into canvaa' masterpieces at his fingertips. "It was a way to everything." Sisti sits in a soft leather chair that has shaped itself to his figure like the comfortable arms of a lover and recalls with precision sixty and seventyyear-old memories —sketching the Metropolitan Building; Weehawken, New Jersey; and a New York with few skyscrapers. A few moves within the city "to bigger apartments" preceded his family's relocation in Buffalo. An apartment on Seventh Street fostered a friendship with famed artist Charles Burchfield—"Charlie." Even after Burchfield's move to Springville where the neighboring railroad yards inspired much of his early work, Sisti stayed in touch escape from Eclectic "And you know, I sensed in his early stages that he would become a man famous in watercolor,' said Sisti who recently donated 26 watercolors and seven’ drawings of the late artist-*-matched by the same number of his ov^n—to..Buifalo's Burchfield Center. "I He recalls the "House of Mystery." "Charlie did that modeled off a group of young boys playing hookie. You know what I mean? I owned one of the sketches," says Sisti asking himself of the whereabouts of the treasure. "Oh, yes, a man liked it and so he got it. Anyone who loves something as that should have it so I said to him, 'Here, don't torture yourself'." Sisti says many of the paintings he acquired were from people who received them from Burchfield as payment, maybe for medicine or dental care. He recalled that when he couldn't afford to buy something from Burchfield he would get it on a monthly basis. "'No Charlie,' I would say when asked if I wanted to go back on a deal, 'I think I II hang on'," he said. Paintings grace every wall of the studio, gallery, home. Some elaborately framed, some trusted Narrow stairways and halls, unexpected rooms behind walls add magic to the splendid dream. To the right, a painting by Lorenzo Strutci, a Renaissance painter. To the left, another masterpiece acquired through this or that connection. "At times the gas bill went unpaid," he says unpretentiously, "but I knew the money was better spent" Although painting is his true love, he has had other passions. At age 17 Sisti lived the pictures he drew on sidewalks and entered the boxing ring only to turn professional within two years. Out of a file drawer he pulls a prized article, now yellowed with ag e, dated March 6, 1939 "In Manhattan's St Nicholas Arena one night last week," Time wrote, "the smoke curdled in a cone of hot light above the ring, the crowd yelled, the gong clanged and the boys in the fourth bout bobbed out of their corners Probably nobody there was reminded of George Bellows' prize-fight excep one of the boys. Tony Sisti from Buffalo." Sisti had been out of the ring nine years and was staging a comeback to finance his own Art Exhibition at Manhattan's Argent Galleries. Before 1930 he had used his boxing skill to go to Europe for five years and pay tuition at the Florence Academy where he got his PhD in painting. Sisti also travelled through France and Germany, brainstorming Europe and, "hugging every square foot of the shoreline," Movement in art Sisti's gallery—exhibiting many of his own works —and his impressive studio, strewn with brushes, canvases and treasures, show him as an eclectic. Many of his paintings exhibit the excitement of gathering bits and pieces from a variety of movements, but he recurrently relies upon the technique of the impressionists. The artist uses light in his paintings to highlight carefully defined forms. One painting borrows the classic style while another is reminiscent of Cezanne and stilt another of Burchfield. One of the most moving paintings is "At Ringside" where the boxing victory of Joe Lewis over Max Staling of Germany is depicted. "You can put drama and life into the canvas," Sisti says sweeping an opened palm before the two figures. He lives dreams Sisti favors the brown shadows and modeled forms of the Old Masters, but remembers, now and then, his dour palette of grays, tans, whites and dark blues. He sometimes distorts figures through geometrizing; but then recalls his delicate brush in portraits and still lifes. There is a flow and movement captured in the strong, bold figures he creates. Sisti's life has been full, his career successful. The sidewalks he once painted have evolved into canvases hanging in established art and the boxers he drew, he eventually met in the ring. His time now is devoted to local lecturing and his gallery. The master continues with the enthusiasm of a very young man, ensuring future generations a share of his world TODAY! POSITION AVAILABLE Director of Scate for Spring Semester . k. . > ■ ... Pick up applications in the SA OFFICE, 111 Talbert Hall > NO LATER THAN December 12th, ’79 �s — Storming The Club' Feminism clashes at gates The Club, set in an exclusive establishment for men in old New York, is an uneasy mixture of' humorous entertainment and serious feminist message. It is a pastiche of turn-of-the-century songs and gags patronizing females and stereotyping femininity: that's to be the entertainment. All the "men" at the club are played by women: that's to be the feminist message While it is easy to see how we can be entertained by song-anddance numbers and punch lines, it is not so easy to see how we can be entertained by the serious feminist motive that overshadows them. Similarly, while the male impersonators give us a new perspective on the casually chauvinistic material, our social awareness is underscored by the way these women demean themselves in the service of the feminist cause, and by the sentimental, patronizing attitude the show adopts toward men There is nothing funny or entertaining about a dirty male joke told by a woman; and there is nothing particularly enlightening in the. feminist presentation of men as selfish, brutish cads. In short, where is the entertainment and where is the message? Any buyers! I might not have been tempted to ask this question had the production kept me too busy to think about it, but UB's production at the Center for Theater Research does not exactly razzle-dazzle ik This Isn’t Hm YWCA Breaking that bastion of mala supremacy with satire vocal and dancing skills What director Saul Elkin and choreographer T. Ralabate do with The Club's jokes and songs, for the most part, is make them look just as old and tired as,they are. It is only toward the end of the show that we get some idea of how well "Max” Bommer can sing, and "Joshua Beau" Carson is the only actress who does much actual dancing. The songs are generally a bore once they get past the first verse, and a audience. The songs and jokes are all on more or less the same theme; the punch lines are obvious and create little or no suspense. It is up to the production to keep the material onlts toes, to get those punch lines out before we've thought of them, to start the next joke before we've had a chance to laugh, to charm us with its personality and wow us with its Is feminism funny? On the other hand, there are three good reasons to see The Club, and none of them has anything to do with the way it has been directed: the songs (with their hilarious rhymes: "Miranda, you beat the band-a," "Rosie Rosinsky, please let me in-sky"), the talent of the performers, and J. Kittsley-Blake's laugh Bertie (Kittsley-Blake) is really the most likeable member of the club, anyway; in the original Circle in the Square production of 1976, opera singer Gloria Modes (Bertie's singing "Vesti la giubba" was her idea) was the stand-out performer. Kittsley-Blake ends up standing out, too. Her infectipus laugh makes her unfunny jokes funnier than they deserve to be; and she is the only member of being both wicked and, somehow wonderful. The Club needs more of this. The second act's tempo picked up perceptibly during her deft Clyde Fitch melqdrama monologues, and the ensuing finale had more spark and verve than all the other numbers put together. And there is no denying that this sparkle is created by more tharvone talent. E!K. Pearlman, "Max” Bomrtier, and "Curtis L Hill,all clearly have the stuff it takes to.turn on an audience; and they do, sometimes. What The Club lacks is not talent but energy and variety and a direct personal appeal. Feminism just isn't funny, and the only way to make it entertaining is to capitalize on the performers' capacity to entertain. The Club may not be merely what its author coyly calls a "musical diversion,” but plainly it is of no use to feminists qr anyone else if it doesn't at least divert. This Center for Theater Research production (which runs through the 16th, Thursday through Saturday) fails to get the necessary mileage out of either its material or its talented performers. * Jy EVANS ART THEATRE MAPLE 632-7700 SHERIDAN □ GEORGETOWN Call For Showtimes and Information ■ I 290 EVANS Check our Newspaper ads for special Late Shows Every Friday & Saturday SQUARE ,RT THE, MOBIL STATION OPENS DECEMBER 19 wArasa the Thief* willbe the'Breedend Chocolate*of 1979V Jeffrey Lyons, WCBS Radio andWPIX-TV “Lustily funny!

Just when the 17-shopping-days-till-Christmas blues catches gift for your dear mother, the Sex Change Band comes to the rescue with their second helping of frivolity. Like Zappa and Topic K, Root Boy portrays a world devoid of higher consciousness and abstract beauty, a world festering with pimps, perverts, cretins, fatsos, dopers, freaks, whores, and misfits. Visually, Root Boy resembles a grotesquerie right out of Hunter Thompson's Fear Loathing. He slobbers the Cuckoo's Nest imagery of "Dozin' and Droolin'" like he has kqown life's ragged edge: Went face down in my plate at lunch Face down at dinner, too Lord knows what a shot of thorazine What it will do for you I was dazin' and droolin' He points to his distended belly on the back cover photo as if in reference to his tune "Dare to Be Fat (Fat's Where It's At):'' .

The name is just one more affectation of Root Boy's aberrant pose But guitarist Sex Ray Lancaster, keyboardist Lounge Lizard Kelly, drummer Kung Fu Bashor, and bassist Rattlesnake Rattles convey their own deviant qualities. Root Boy's lurid obsessions are framed mostly by worn out early 70's blues riffs. But the band is solid, and unobtrusive in their moral mutiny. Sex Ray even rips off a brisk solo on "Express Train," a tune that frantically stutters with Captain Beef heart!ike rhythms The first album's centerpiece, "Boogie Till You Puke," was an essay on the positive effects of the disco craze, Root Boy has since pioneered a new dance that is guaranteed to sweep you off your feet, "Do the Gator:" There's a dance yoo can do if you're drunk like me Get down and boogie horizontally Gator squirms around down on the ground He don't never have to worry about falling down To hell with later, do the gator In "World War III" Root Boy takes nihilism to its logical extreme; Looking for a place to plug in my TV When I finally realized it was World War III When the Ayatollah's scowling mug eclipses his TV set Root Boy probably wears out the channel selector looking for Mary Tyler Moore reruns.

Twenty-nine years old and from West Virginia, she has received such awards as the Pushcart Prize and a National Endowment for the Arts Fellowship. She's been published by small presses. She's been called "a genius." Halt The collection that is garnering her such praise and renown is Black Tickets (Delta, $4.95). Twentyseven stories, some qf them less than a page long, with enigmatic and concise titles like "Lechery" and "What it Takes to Keep a Young Girl Alive/' Phillips is a talent, no doubt about it, whose use of the English language resonates off the page like good rpusic. The trouble is she knows it. Every good writer must have a sense of limiation, right? Otherwise, there would be nothing left to strive for, nothing to anticipate nd no discovery left to be . made. Obviously inspired oy FJannery O'Connor,.Phillips writes about the grotesque. But not the grotesque lives and details of the rural South somuch as the more gritty and harsh grotesqueness of the city. Pushers, pimps and prostitutes all appear in most of her stories ugtil they.L&nd into a composite of one. After reading tale aftertale, the words become one colorful blur. Delicate balance Take the tale "The Powder of the Angels," and "I'm Yours." With a title like that, Phillips knows she has you. And then the opening lines are "She remembered swerving, cocaine lane, snowy baby in her veins. Like a white sock over her nose, smelling clean cotton in dark halls of the seedy Plaza in Bogota. Roaches glittered their hard backs and the heavy Spanish flies buzz-droned, fucking in mictair." For a page and a half, she goes on like this. And when you come to the final period, you remember nothing. The catchy words and daring grab you—only to let you down. The brevity of these tales is paradoxical in that their length belies an overreaching. Phillips needs to be checked or she's in danger of reading like an - , undergraduate majoring in creative writing. Yet Phillips shows restraint in the collection's best pieces when she avoids the seamy and the overt for the common ground of family and home. "Home" takes on the voice of a woman in her twenties who visits old lovers for sanity and lives at home with her widowed mother to hold on to guilt. The relationship between mother and daughter is summarized in the lines "My mother has her suspicions. She ponders. I have been home with her for two months. I ran out of money and I wasn't in love, so I have come home to my mother." Big O In "Sweethearts," a remembetarice of weekends at the movie theater, Phillips taxis to the killer ending of "After the last blast of sound it was Sunday afternoon, and Mr. Penny stood jjngling his keys by the office door while we asked to use the phone. Before he turned the key he bent over and pulled us close with his bony arms. Stained fingers kneading our chests, he wrapped us in old tobacco and called us his little girls. I felt his wrinkled heart wheeze like a dog on a leash. Sweethearts, he whispered." No pounding on the head here, no color where a shade is enough, just writing that reaffirms potential. Perhaps the most affecting of Black Tickets' short pieces is “Slave." She dares to go where no (well, maybe a few) female writer has taken her pen before—a woman's view of orgasm. She tells of the power the female mind possesses over the male psyche, the power of achieving sexual heights on her own without coming underneath a man. “She loved to make love with someone she wanted. They soared away from her arched and paralyzed and for an instant she had what she wanted. There was one man she liked to talk to, who she didn't particularly want because he was so much like her. She already had what he had." The risk she takes, the victory she wins. Jayne Anne Phillips. Remember the name.

(Student Theater Association for Genuine Entertainment), in the Katharine Cornell Theater was more than just genuine entertainment. It was an audience treat. Comedy came naturally as the performers kept the audience laughing from start to finish. In his rote as Felix Allan, the show's star Jordan Auslander did a sensational job portraying the life of a slightly below average, extremely neurotic American male on the verge of suicide following a recent divorce from Nancy (Carol Kaplan). Allan doesn't think he can live without her, but he must start a new life. Allan's life becomes one illusion after another. Joel Napach did an Excellent job as Allan Felix's idol, Humphrey Bogart. Throughout the play, Allan imagines himself getting advice from Bogart on how to handle dames' Allan's two best friends, Linda (Eileen Dugan) and Dick (Tim Cleary) Christie make a number of unsuccessful attempts to help Allan forget Nancy by introducing him to women. Dick is so wrapped up in his work that he is unable to give Allan the support he needs, while on the other hand, Linda successfully gets Allan out of his slump and at the same time saves her own marriage. In the end, Linda helps Allan realize that the only way he is going to be a success in life is to be himself. He isn't Bogart and he can't expect what worked for Bogart to work for him. The play was very well done and there wasn't a dull moment as it flowed from scene to scene. The set, an apartment, was effectively used. The lighting enhanced the moods of different scenes. By portraying reality in bright light, and Allan's illusions in somber light, the audience was unobstrusively cued into what was happening. For the most part, all of the performers could be heard] but portions of the dialogue were not projected as loudly as they should have been, and occasionally bits of the dialogue were lost. The backdrop allowed the performers to enter and leave the stage inconspicuously. This was especially true of the illusion sequences when the performers in the previous scene would slowly leave the stage and the new performers would come into view. As a whole, it was a very respectable performance by all involved cast, crew, Barry Ort, producer, and Ira Brooks, director by Lisa Schulman You must remember this 'Play It Again, Sam' at KCT —Carry ‘Dnwi, Mw MHW’ Bogart gives pointers to Felix The Muzak of the Eighties: Part 2 Our he o escapes blockhead Dr, Weinstein only to Tangerine Majcure Dream: Force Editor's note: We last left our time-warped record reviewer pondering life and dentistoffice music sometime in the year 1966. This week we continue the story of his futuristic follies ... by Randy Atlas After leaving Dr. Weinstein's office, I decided to make an expeditious journey to the bank; hopefully, my time-warp would pay me dividends in the form of seven years of accumulated interest. I opted for a moving sidewalk as my means of transportation. The ride was rather enjoyable until I tried to step off, realizing that I had been standing on a wad of bubble gum for the duration of the nineblock trek This careless act of mine awarded me the'privilege of being dragged another four blocks by a thin-but-sturdy pink string of sorbitol, gum base, artificial flavors, and BHT. Eventually, I made it to the bank. One thing had not changed in seven years; inside wove the all-too-familiar line of customers —a line which often seems longer than the lines for many of the attractions at Walt Disney World. Unlike the people of the seventies, however, these folks were not waiting for human tellers; they awaited sparkling computer/robot contraptions graced with tags sporting [monrsl ■ I | | Thing j i One talkie order | of Cliieken Mn§s FREE i with tha purchase of a doubta WITH THIS COUPON Expires Jan. 18 ’80 VALID ANYTIME Not Valid For Taka Out ROOTIES Pump Roam 315 Stahl Rood at Millersport Hwy. h-_ 688-0100- J i such names as "Cosmos," "Deslock," and "Kryptol" Unable to cope with the harsh reality of the situation, I sank dowrt into a plush green chair and leaned my head back. Above me was a large speaker, from which quasi-pastoral, sedative electronic melodies were being dispatched. I closed my eyes, as images came to mind of prenatal chimpanzees floating above the fiords of Norway in anti-gravity soap bubbles. One lengthy, meandering, synthesized percussion part literally slid me off the chair and onto the floor. It was there that I was greeted by a human bank employee, much to my relief. "Can I help you?" came the timeless question. "Yes, I hope so," I replied, embarrassingly picking myself up off the floor. "I'd like to know what the balance in my account is, and also what that music is." "Do you have identification?" I searched and panicked. "Er —no, I don't. I think I must have lost my wallet in the time warp." "In the what?" "Never mind. Do I need identification to find out some things about that music?" I inquired semi-sarcasticaliy, as I pointed to the audio speaker with my hitchhiker's thumb. "No, sir; I'll tell you everything you need to know, if you'll excuse me for a moment." The man took a stroll behind a distant counter and returned with a cassette storage unit. He then proceeded to read from it. "OK, this is the album Force Majeure by Tangerine Dream on Virgin International Records. All material is played, composed, produced and mixed by Edgar Froese and Chris Franke "Tangerine Dream, eh? I used to listen " find . — . . to those folks when I either ran out of Sominex or wanted to drive my parents out of the house. I didn't think that they'd still be around in 1986—they should have been locked up a long time ago on grounds of third-degree self-indulgence in a recording studio." Puzzledly, the bank employee consulted the storage unit and offered me a startling bit of information. "Maybe they have been locked up, as you say —this is an old album "It is?" I asked, recalling a similar experience with a Synergy album earlier in the afternoon. "Yes—it says here that it was recorded in nineteen seventy-nine," I stared open-mouthed into the floor's grey and green tiles. "Is something the matter, sir?" "Uh —no . .. thanks for the information." As I walked out of the bank, I wondered if it was a benefit or a detriment to have received a preview of the muzak of the eighties. Somehow, I felt sorry for my seventies friends; I wished that I could forewarn them of the sounds they would eventually hear as they entered the working world, yet all I could do was board a moving sidewalk, this time keeping my eyes open for haphazardlyplaced wads of chewing gum. (end of series) " OLD RED MILL INN �The cat in a hat Nothing up his sleeve The Cat and the Hat, Ben Sidran (Horizon) Ben Sidran isn't a voice to be reckoned with. His piano playing is decent, and he writes nifty lyrics, but his voice just doesn't cut cake. The latest example of Sidran's talent,or lack of it. The Cat and the Hat, does, however, provide an interesting medium Eight of the nine cuts are old jazz classics, rearranged and lyricized by Sidran. Sidran has been behind the scenes of several artists, most notably the Steve Miller Band (he wrote the lyrics to "Space Cowboy") and the Rolling Stones He's stepped out into a solo career, but some musicians just can't fathom the spotlight Several artists have offered their talent here, for the most part, in a dying effort. Tom Scott, Michael Brecker, Lee Ritoneur, and Steve Cadd all help, but for a losing cause. Sidran’s talent is evident in his arrangements. The best cut, "Like Sonny," also happens to be the only instrumental on the disc. A uniquely melodic John Coltrane composition utilizes Sidran's piano, his most beautiful display enclosed on this album. "Seven Steps to Heaven," a Miles Davis tune, includes some remarkable drumming from the always impressive Steve Cadd. Sidran's best singing is also present on this cut. His quick style on this song is a lot different than his apathetic and unemotional vocals throughout the other compositions. His lyrics are consistently catchy, but words do not an album make, Joe Henderson adds an exceptional sax solo to this, the best vocal cut on the disc Sidran offers interesting renditions of these jazz standards, and his lyrics fit them right, but his singing doesn't. He should stick to arranging, composing, lyricizing, and piano playing. He just isn't right for the jazz singer's role. Maybe with an apple in his mouth, this cat can come out of the —Doug Alpern hat. Rollins, Don't Ask, (Milestone) Sonny Rollins' newest release. Don't Ask, captures Sonny in one of his hottest saxophone playing moods, and a key contribution is special guest Larry Coryell's amazing guitar licks throughout. Rollins has been shooting out fine tenor sax for quite some time, but this is, to my knowledge, the first time that he's ever collaborated with Coryell, and it's quite a memorable pairing. Coryell has recently released some sparkling acoustic work, redeeming his previous long interlude with electric fusion. That's not to say that his jazz-rock excursion didn’t provide any quality music, and the 1977 Sonny Sldran and friand Jazz standards Coryell/Mouzon collaboration, Back Together Again, is an example of the best of this diversion. But Coryell's more recent endeavors, most notably with Phillip Katherine, Steve Kahn, and the Brubeck brothers, have shown off his amazing acoustic talents more than ever before. Some readers may question why I write so much of Coryell, when this is a Sonny Rollins release I have a simple answer—Coryell steals the show. Two cuts on this album, "The File" and "My Ideal" are Coryell/Rollins duets and they are, by far, the best entries on this disc "My Ideal," the opening cut on the second side features Coryell's fluid fingers flashing wildly off the neck of his six string ax Rollins and Coryell trade off notes, providing perfect compliments for each other. The title cut, “Don't Ask,'' follows after an almost imperceptible break. A light and boppy number featuring Coryell's finest electric display on the disc, Rollins again powers out exceptional tenor sax. By the way —Rollins and Coryell arenT the only musicians enlisted here Mark Soskin, veteran pianist, contributes a sweet solo on "Harlem Boys," along with Bill Summers' heavy bongo rhythm Jerome Harris carries the bass line, most notably his plucking funk on "Disco Monk." Sonny Rollins has come up with the right recipe on hisjatest release, Even if he doesn't completely dominate the album, Coryell's addition provides a memorable performance Why isn't this album —Doug Alpern selling more? Don't ask! Sonny Rollins Caught in a hot mood Decidedly Steve Forbert Between Dylan and Springsteen v • 1 • iteuN On the cover of his second album lackrabbit Slim Steve Fprbert looks determined. Dressed in a leather jacket and jeans, the guitar slung over his shoulders and fingers strumming the strings, he looks pointedly out at you. Dylanesque yes, Springsteenish a little, but decidely Forbert. A rambler from Mississippi, Forbert shot onto the FM airwaves last year with his acoustic debut album Songs like the ballad "It Isn't Gonna Be That Wafy" became minor classics and "Grand Central Station" gavems a look at the days when Forbert sang on the streets of New York City for coins and inspiration The boy was good then. And he's getting better. Produced by John Slim is a more apibitiouS album than its predecessor Criticized for being overproduced, the album is the kind that takes a while to grow On you, because the expectation is that Forbert will be quieter than he is. The ballads are few and the rockers are many. The tune receiving the most airplay these days is the bouncy "Romeo's Tune" (cryptically dedicated to the late Supreme Florence Ballard) witH its bint or.calypso. Forbert's voice is so raspy but so tough & Fofbn’t ‘JactuabbHSUnT urn down the lights' •* ' pT- ' ' At' ?.* tV 1 ■■■ 591 "ATTACK OF THE KILLER TOMATOES” is coming to the Squire Hall Conference Theater TONIGHT AND SATURDAY AT MIDNIGHT! ’ ,|M ~' — that you want to give him points because he isn't straining You give him points because the boy s sincere He makes no bones that what he sings he feels. Besides "Romeo's Tune" with its plea for a lover to "meet me in the middle of the day/make me feel alright and that everything's okay/let me smell the moon in your perfume," the songs on the album that stick easiest are on Side One, "I'm in Love With You" is about as subtle as its title and about as genuine a ballad written in awhile,,Forbert s phrasing has a tinge of desperation in every humbling line that cuts the sweetness just enough. Turn down the lights, find yourself a partner and dance real slow. For humility of another kind, there's "Say Goodbye to Little Jo" which lashes out at a man who's driven his lover to leave because "she's taken enough of your shit." And for a song even more foreboding than "It Isn't Gonna Be That Way," Forbert gives us "Wait" destined to be played on FM radio during long winter nights.

But 2 it probably would not be too hard to u. guess. So far, the tour has led him through new wave notable cities like Los Angeles, Detroit, Toronto and now Buffalo. Comm left the room with a characteristic display of enthusiastic friendliness, seeking to shake everyone's hand Twenty minutes later he faced the expectant crowd at Stage One, clad in a black and red polka dot shirt and silver tie. Along with vocals. Comm plays lead guitar in his five-man band which comes off as Britian's version of a guitar army Onstage, his ruddy complexion, fiery red hair and j | chipmunk cheeks lend him a remarkable resemblance -to little Danny of The Partridge Family. His determination in handling his guitar during the first song reminded me of a little brother, anyone's little brother, impressing the rest of his family with his talent for the very first time. The band quickly fell into a flawless rendition of "24-hour Service" with Comm's strong vocals and a throbbing bass guitar forcing the crowd to move oh its feet. The good old days While singing, Comm's voice—like those of most other British musicians—carries a quality which is totally free from his native accent. But as he stops to relate to the crowd his hassles during his stay in Toronto, his voice reverted to its very British twang. He explained how two of his roadies had to remain in the provinces as one had his luggage and the other his passport stolen at the airport in Toronto. What he didn't explain and what probably went unnoticed by those present is that his voice had been troubling him due to the cold weather and a night when he forgot to turn down the thermostat in his hotel room. Without any further fanfare, he proceeded to offer a vibrant collection of material from Comm with the Wind— the album which was originally entitled Summer Holiday when released in England in 1978. Gomm and his band shifted effortlessly through each song with precision, refraining from any prolonged instrumental jams. Although he keeps his stage theatrics to a minimum, Comm's performance revealed an energy which is nowhere to be heard on the album. He moved unpretentiously through renditions of the reggae sounding "Sad Affair," Chuck Berry's "Black and White" and his version of the Johnny River's hit "Slow Dancing." The crowd was right with him all the way despite the irritation of some sound distortion, which is common at Stage One. Between sips of his Molson, he shifted into an old Beatles tune, "You Can't Do That"—a song he prefaced by saying it was one that meant a lot to him —and then into the power pop appeal of "Hold On." Gomm's set was a dissappointing onehour long, and after apologizing in his characteristically shy manner for his lack of material, he played his only encore —an old Brinsley Schwarz medly, "We used to do in the good old days." After Comm finally left the stage, the crowd poured out the door, undoubtedly quite satisfied with the dosage of music they had received in exchange for their admission price. ciddmJmpufse Center stage at the Alamo Gallery in Beck Hall (the small stone building next to Townsend Hall) will be an inaugural exhibit of Western New York women starting this Friday.

I have three (3) questions. 1) I hear your shouts of “justice”, “unfair” and “racism” but you fail to make known to the majority of the university community exactly what you want. I'm sure you have your reasons for protest but make them known to everybody. Don’t just yell “justice” etc. The first knowledge most students had of your issues was In The Spectrum report. Why don’t you submit a letter with your grievances so that the people have an idea what you want? Why also don’t you state what you mean by “an effective affirmative action program”? I would like to know! 2) If you are going to protest— why must you do it where It’s most annoying to other students e.g. blocking buses in Dlefendorf Loop, blocking traffic going towards Squire Hall by Baird Parking Lot, 2nd floor Squlrp where people are meeting with advisors, r etc. Why don’t you protest by the fountain area where most students will see you and not be annoyed or why don't you protest by the President's office in Capen Hall? Everybody has the right to protest but there are more logical places to do it without infringing on your fellow students rights! 3) I may be wrong, but from the articles that I’ve read, it seems to me that you are trying to make a racist issue out of something that maybe Isn't. Again, why don’t you publish your feelings in The Spectrum so that everybody does know and can judge! Matthew Kirkland My rights benefits To the Editor: Did you ever stop and think why UB, and the other SUNY schools, are in a constant state of financial burden? An obvious answer that comes to my mind la that minorities, who move into New York State and use our schools, continue to reap the benefits of a free education, rarely paying taxes. I was an observer at the BSU's protest on Monday afternoon and stood in amazement as I heard shouts such as “UB is anti-black," and saw signs such as "Not enough affirmative action for UB blacks." I was amazed because 90 percent of the people protesting were, I’m sure, minority students riding off the aid of my family (white middle class). While the students were complaining they don't get "enough" benefits, I was complaining that I don't get a "single" benefit. Before your editorial staff cites the need for black .'students to “clarify their legitimate demands," I demand you ask them to pay for their own education. Name withheld upon request To the Editor: that (Security is full of shit" tells me zero about your cause). It appeared you only wanted to draw attention to yourselves. You did just that, yet failed to get your This is In response to the rally held by the BSU on December 3rd; At the time, I did not know the factual point across. A more intelligent choice of location to content of the issues. I am sure you had every right to yield optimum results are abundant, Including: Squire protest (everyone has a right to protest). And, upon Hall fountain area; President Ketter's office (Capen consideration of the actual occurrence of events Hall); march throughout the Main Street Campus; (which might indeed be impossible), I just might agree Student Club; Norton cafeteria area; front of Squire Hall; Flint Loop (on the sidewalk); Lake LaSalle area; with you. But, the method with which you carried out your Marshall Court. After all, UB is the largest campus wide protest was wrong. So vital is the transmission of the university in the whole damn country. basis of any protest to others, especially the infamous In conclusion, I’d like to add that I work very hard “first impression” of your conveyance, and then to during the summer and the school year and I receive perpetrate your cause in the most insidious manner TAP and BEOG awards to pay my way through school. possible, is both absurd antf counterproductive.

And anyone, for any reason, who prevents me Amherst or Ridge Lea to the startling situation that from doing such, is depriving me of my rights (which is confronted them is “Get the fuck out of the/way!" a crock of shit, as we all know). Enemies were immediately made, and this in no way is helpful in gathering support for a cause. Busing is Curt D. Roney obviously the backbone of this university, and a good way to bo noticed. P.S. Please notice I never once mentioned or inferred But, an ideal rally does not intend to be noticed; any racial overtones. This exact letter could apply to instead it wants to get a point across. You did not do any demonstration that held up bus transportation. ' Mend ourselves To the Editor: As a white undergraduate student from a middle class background, I hope my social peers, those people who constitute the majority of this school, will at the very least think a moment about the possible validity of my beliefs. I think we, as the majority and part of the problem’s foundation, should not look at the recent actions and common dispositions of black students here at the University Solely from the perspective of the logic and standards with 'which our social position has engendered us. Many people of my background feel that blacks have as much, if not more, opportunities and rights these days as any other member of our society, and their all-too-common dispositions of icy indifference or outright hostility are unjustified, ungrateful and possibly paranoid. I, however, this very real situation of blacks harboring indifference and/or hostility shouldHje taken as evidence of just how, sadly enough, “equal rights” and occasional (rare) favortism does not and cannot mend deep and lonely wounds. I believe that the actiohs of the black students blocked the buses, and the much more common yet subtler suspicion and seeming of blacks towards whites is an obvious of just just how great the problem is. Just think; those people are among the most intelligent and aware blacks that have come from America yet they acted in a way which was certain to dispel a great degree of potential sympathy to their cause in an action that was almost as unfair as the situation they were protesting. I take this as evidence that not only is America a lonply and foreign land to its black citizen, but that we need not only to mend our institutions and power structures but ourselves as well if we are to help the American black free his or herself from the looming Isolation of a life nourished on 300 years of homeless. A melting pot with structure but without content is just that. cV’ In extreme and thankfully quite unaccurate terms, their hate "is only the hate that hate produced." Can I join To the Editor: Since we have been here, I and others have known and felt ashamed and frustrated about the racism that exists at UB and in the campus security. Ultimately, I always end up asking myself the same question—"What can be done to end It?” Imagine my surprise and the pride that I felt when on Monday I discovered a tremendously organized and powerful demonstration taking place. I remember thinking to myself as I quickly joined my friends in the protest circle "It’s about time!" Two minutes later after a few times around, I feel a high hand on my shoulder and I am suddenly standing outside the circle. The guy tells me “This is our protest. Nothing personal, but we don't want you here. If you want to protest, form your own group of whites to do It”, I am shocked at first and as I stand there and watch my friends circle around and around again, I think about what just happened. Tp the organizers ot the protest: First, I would like to apologize for being naive. I guess I forgot I was white, or does it really matter. I’m sorry for caring about you. Second, you may ask, “If you care, why didn't you do something about It before? Why are you jumping on the band wagon, Mr. Liberal?" That is a legitimate question, but my only response Is—for the same reasons that you didn't all personally try to organize something. Are all of you jumping on the ... x band wagon?” Third, No, I’m not black and I haven't experienced racism, but I've seen my friends experience it and I’ve seen how ugly it is and so I want it to stop too. Fourth. As far as organizing a group of whitesfor our ‘own’ protest—O.K., It’s a good Idea—I’ll try. Well try. But if I fail (althought I don’t think that will happen) and I am standing in the snow next to your group shivering, holding up my little sign (UB & Campus Security Racist? GUILTY! GUILTY! QUILTY!)-lf I’m standing there alone shivering in the snow, won’t you ask me to join you? I’m sure you all know what a cold world this can be. t Larry KnipUng Bob Canter SW. I «* �]UB Royals basketball fouled, I Fredonia nets 72-58 victory by Betsy DdlcBovi Spectrum Stuff Writer I 5 *•_ $ = As the UB men’s basketball squad was returning in high spirits from Fredonia State with a win, they may have passed a quiet, gloomy busload of Fredonia women nctters, journeying back from their 72-58 loss at Clark Hall Tuesday night. Coach Linda O’Donnell's well-organized squad had been eagerly awaiting its first tipoff of the 1979-80 season, and the solid win should give the young squad momentum. “I’m so glad we started out with a win,’’'admitted O’Donnell, who made her collegiate coaching debut. “We needed this to get us going. Cortland, UB’s opponent tonight, is going to be tough.” Buffalo’s starting five: co-captain Janet Lilley, Mary Hickey, Jeanne Quinlivan, Maureen Klein and Robin Dulmage, were unable to produce any offense for the first six minutes, but held Fredonia from a scoring attack for seven minutes. The Royals six-foot center Lilley, finally moved in with a clean jump shot to sun UB’s offense rolling. Scarcely substituting in the first half, UB was Keglers strike: take first piace “I kept telling Maureen to go for the shots,” explained O’Donnell. “She hesitated a little because she was shooting so much, but 1 kept telling her to take the shots and they went in for her. I was really surprised when they announced that she scored 30 points since she was playing back so much.” Lilley, veteran center continued in her aggressive style, constantly fighting under the boards defensively. With dependable assistance from long-legged Hickey, Lilley picked-off 18 rebounds while also caging 10 points offensively. Hickey also reached for 11 boards. Fredonia refused to give up the fight, storming back to grab a one-point lead late in the first half. However, Buffalo’s full-court press along with many timely steals, held Fredonia off.

Anyone who puts that much care into ensuring that the fans of a basketball game get their money’s worth of suspense and excitement must idolize the master of the unexpected.

The fast- footed sophomore kept UB awake with darting passes to keep Buffalo’s momentum aHve. Klein also snatched eight steals and added two assists for UB. “Our defense kept us in the game,” said the eager O’Donnell. “We really excelled up top, defensively. R Our guards did superb jobs,” she added. “We were able to depend on them throughout the whole game.” Jeanne Quinlivan, a 5-4 guard, played a very accurate game, hitting two-for-two at the foul line white aiding the defense with three steals and five fc rebounds. Her skillful passing to Li(ley under the 2 basket contributed several two-pointers for UB. * K ® k- UL Subs do it Dottie Holtz and Gina Colluraxamc off the bench to help out offensively. Second year player Lisa Keating went in late in the game and helped control the offense. ‘‘Our bench people did a great job,” reported O’Donnell. “1 was able to count on Dottie, Gina and Lisa when we needed them. They all did a superb job for us toward the end.” Returning for the second half of play, UB held a 31-21 lead. With the same starting five, Buffalo began ' , _ using its threatening press. Fouls though slowed game action down considerably. Klein heard the piercing sound of one referee calling her fourth offensive foul at the contest. Fighting back, the young star snatched the ball frOtai a bewildered Ftcdonia player and cleanly headed down court to UB’s basket with a delicate lay-up shot. Klein continued with three more baskets, supplying eight points for UB in less than two minutes. Lilley was handed her fifth foul with eight minutes remaining, forcing her to the bench and Hickey onto the Clark court. O’Donnell was faced with quick decisions as Hickey also proceeded to foul out, leaving the responsibility on her reserves. With less than a ten point lead, Buffalo’s Keating took over the forward position, controlling the Royals’ attack. ”Lisa did such a superb job.” O’Donnell claimed. “I felt really good being able to count on her.” Keating pumped in two needed points at the foul line,'giving UB a breather and the victory. Continuous Fredonia fouls later put several points on the boardjbr Buffalo.

Business minor Initially, Stony Brook Housing officials were filling open rooms with students from a special waiting list before servicing those tripled. The waiting list consisted of people who would be.unable to attend the University without a dormitoty room. But, according to The Statesman, this policy slowed the de-tripling process and it has since been changed. Currently all wait-listed and new students must wait until all existing triples have been broken down, which is not expected to occur. Stony Brook administrators have found that about one-half the students who were told they could be de-tripled wished to remain together.- “It seems a lot of them have made friends and do not want to be separated,” explained Frisbee. He added that financial reasons played a minor role in students’ decisions not to be detripled. By having three persons in a double room, each student incurs a savings of $ 110^ Frisbee speculated that the addition of a “business minor” has contributed to retaining a higher percentage of students. Frisbee also credits the Dean for Undergraduate Student Affairs with retaining students as a result of that office’s increased assistance and advisement. In an effort to relieve the housing crunch, Stony Brook has requested the construction of additional housing facilities. However, Frisbee noted, “lam not at all optimistic that any new construction will occur.” The proposed facilities, if constructed, would house about 1000 students. No sweat According to The Statesman, University administrators have suggested a variety of immediate possibilities to help alleviate the housing overload. One idea was to require all students to live off campus for at least one year. Another proposal was for the University to contract with the near-by. Holiday Inn and Port Jefferson Harbor View Motel, while another restricted all individuals living within 25 miles of the school from obtaining a dormitory room. At UB, in an effort to prevent the housing oveiload which occurred last year, Housing officials implemented a plan similar to one being considered at Stony Brook. Any student living within a 30-mileradius of the University must wait until all others have been accommodated. When asked what he hoped to accomplish, Frisbee answered, “I would like to be able to say to all freshmen and all transfer students, “Yes, you have housing, no sweat'.” ip HERMAN FRYE TIMBERLAND DINGO Lucian CParlato Attorney at -Law 631-8884 36 Hopkins Road Williamsville, N.Y. • - House Closings.

Rock Magnates Pimple-Free John Liebrand of the Oklahoma University Oklahoma Daily probed catering service employee Karrie Williams for the inside stuff following a rerent Kiss performance in Norman, Oklahoma. “I’ve never seen so many cosmetics in my life,” said Williams. “Stridex pads everywhere. Kiss has no complexion problems, even when you look at them close up. They like Chinese food and they have a real passion for pre-sweetened cherry Kool-Aid.” Corollary to their Kool-Aid choice. Kiss held court for a bevy of 15-year-old groupies, according to Williams. Said groupies “were really stylish,” she told Liebrand. “Lots of make-up, Calvin Klein jeans, clear plastic raincoats and pasties." 4-H badges would seem more appropriate for Norman, Oklahoma, but times change. Also entrusted with carting the groups civvies to an Oklahoma City hotel, Williams reports, “They had really nice clothes. Fashionable stuff, right out of Gentleman’s Quarterly. A lot of tweeds.” Resourceful MontyPython’s Eric Idle was in Los Angeles recently on business/holiday, during which time he told Ampersand there would not be an American Python TV series. “Who would do it?" he asked. PBS? we ventured. “They don’t have any money,” he scoffed. There will be a fresh new Python record on Arista to fulfill the group’s obligations to that label. “We’re doing a farewell to Clive Davis album, give him a little boost before he goes off and becomes an insurance salesman again.” The next Python film is still in discussion stage and won’t appear on screen until, gasp, 1982: “We’ll write the script all of next year, that’s what takes a long time, to get the stuff funny.” Idle confirmed there would always be Python individual projects, “always stuff to be done. Warking in a group you can’t satisfy all the things you want to do. The balance is the most important thing. Individual freedom, liberty, peace and prosperity for all.” No more Rutles TV shows? Writing a book? “No." Idle did reveal the source of my all-time favorite Python routine. Four Yorkshiremen (on the Live at Drury Lane album); “Graham Chapman and John Cleese wrote it, but it may have been Chapman/Cleese/Marty Feldman," he said. The bit was created 12 or 13 years ago for a British TV show called At Last It’s the 1948 Show. Idle and his wife Tanya, who live in the south of France with their 6V4year-old son, had a nice surprise in Los Angeles; Weekly Variety listed Life of Brian as that week’s biggest moneymaking film. It earned an even tougher acclaim a short time later, when a member of the censor board in Provo, Utah notoriously tough on R-rated flicks —asked the local district attorney to ban Brian. But when the D.A. saw the film, “he laughed throughout,” according to one observer, and that was that. — Judith Sims Don’t Crush That Dwarf, Buy My Record After three years off the record, Firesign Theatre namely Phillip Proctor, Peter Bergman, David Ossman and Phillip Austin is back on wax with The Firesign Theatre’s Nick Danger in the Case of the Missing Shoe. “We want a'high profile again,” say the boys, whose surrealistic humor was de rigorous with head phones and dope in the early to middle Seventies.

We can wait. The Village People, America’s best joke on itself in years, are wondering how to keep those mass-market bucks tumbling in. “How many of us want to be up there wiggling for teenagers when we’re 35?” ponders cowboy Randy Jones. “I don’t want to be wearing a loincloth when I’m 40,” adds Indian Felipe Rose. Now spending $15 million of EMI’s money to make Can't Stop the Music, their entry into film, the Village People will be shown walking on water during one of the movies many production numbers.

The Charge Is Changed Actress Carrie Snodgress told a Los Angeles dourt during the preliminary hearings on Jack Nitzsche’s rape by instrumentality charge (November Ampersand) that Nitzsche, record producer, musician, songwriter and her one-time amour, had not raped her with a gun barrel as she had previously claimed. Now she says he just put the barrel between her legs. Nitzsche still faces assault charges. Taking Powders Observers report that teen idol Leif Garrett, 17, dining out one recent evening in Hollywood, came back from a bathroom trip to find a companion had arranged lines of white powder on a plate before him. Garrett supposedly snorted it up. The tantalizing substance; Sweet 'N Low, the sugar substitute that comes in little pink envelopes. (Do you believe this? Wanria buy a gold watch?) On another evening, Garrett was approached at one of those swell Hollywood parties by a lissome lass who asked the cute kid if he had any cocaine.

Even if their show included a videotape of W.O.W. masturbating while the rest of the group put a victim’s feet in concrete and tossed him in the river, all this to the tune of “Concrete Shoes," one of their non-hit singles. Even if lead guitarist Richard Stotts chose to play in transvestite gear, with a mohawk haircut died bright blue. Rod Swenson, the Plasmatics’ “creator and manager" reports that they decided to obliterate the luxury car at the Palladium “because it’s a big stage." The Plasmatics records, which are still somewhat hard to find and come pressed on translucent gold and red vinyl, are uniformly awful.

There have been fan-oriented attempts at compiling all the biographical detritus and arcane incunabula of the science fiction genre, many of them, stretching back to the mid-Twenties when the first scientifiction aficionados began chittering in secret conclave over their passion. In 1952 a fan named Don Day published the first index to the science fiction magazines, and it was a start. Between 1974 and 1978 an Australian fan named Donald Tuck amassed the first Encyclopedia of Science Fiction and Fantasy but it took him so long to get it published, and its sources were so fogged by their own prejudices, that the two-volume work was about as useful as the knowledge that the last person to marry a duck lived four hundred years by describing.

The first person narrative is interspersed with reflections on Gillespie's accomplishments by musicians and relatives (where never is heard a discouraging word). The names alone are dazzling, a pantheon of jazz legends: Miles, Thelonius Monk, Kenny Clarke, Ella Fitzgerald, Sarah Vfiughn, Max Roach, et al. Only once does the parade of names pause long enough for the reader to see the fairytale-like atmosphere of those magic times blown away, the pathos become palpable: Charle Parker altoist, genius, and heroin addict near death imploring “Save me, save me” to a helpless Diz. A ladies' man (“like a bee... not stopping anywhere but always buzzing”) with a tendency to be in the wrong place at the wrong time that makes Leon Spinks look blessed by the Fates, Gillespie did little to belie his nickname.

With the rise of black nationalism throughout the midSixties, Baldwin’s preeminence as the voice of black American literature faltered considerably, giving way to younger, more outraged, and more conspicuously political spokespersons. In Soul on Ice, Eldridge Cleaver gave his due to Baldwin’s talent as a “personal” writer, but roundly criticized his fiction for a near-total lack of “political, economic, or even social reference.” Of course, literary lights have shifted once again, and while Eldridge Cleaver has orchestrated one of the most public spiritual conversions in recent memory, James Baldwin has continued to write and speak, fulfilling his own designs to serve “not [as] a spokesman exactly, but as a public witness to the situation of black people.” The concept of “witnessing” is again key to Baldwin’s latest novel, Jut/ Above My Head (The Dial Press, $12.95). This long work (nearly 600 pages) strives to follow the destinies and conditions of a halfdozen black men and women over a period of about thirty years. The story an epic reminiscence in the first-person is propelled by the fate of one Arthur Montana, gospel singer, as he moves from the streets and churches of Harlem to Birmingham in the Sixties (“If there was one righteous man here he had to be in an asylum”), to cosmopolitan stardom and a bad end in the restroom of a London pub. In the terms of the novel’s pervading gospel imagery, Arthur’s Journey is a long one and the road is not smooth: friends and family variously succumb to (or survive) the perils of incest, heroin, madness, murder, and a state of constant anger and pain that Baldwin submits as being the standard of Black life in America. In some sense, Baldwin has come fullcircle as a novelist. The black church, its music, homosexuality, and the crucial though often deadly relations between parent and child have all been themes central to his fiction since Go Tell It on the Mountain (1953) and Another Country (1962). But whereas the earlier work revealed youthful characters who were about to embark upon the dangerous trek into a world beyond the ghetto, Just Ahoi’e My Head is the chronicle of a man who has already made that journey and has returned with the judgement that things are even worse than he had suspected. The tenor of this entire novel might best be summed up by a description of the South as seen by the teenaged Arthur Montana and his quartet, the Trumpets of Zion. “Here” writes Baldwin, “they are confronted by the devastating reality of their youth. Here they begin to suspect, for the first time, that the world has no mercy and they have no weapons. They, have only each other, and may, soon, no longer have that.” Given such — — — — Paul Theroux has his own approach to travel writing. Getting there isn’t just half the fun; it’s all of it. The Old Patagonian Express, subtitled By Train Through the Americas (Houghton Mifflin, $11.95), is the follow-up to The Great Railway Bazaar (1975), his first and best book about long, exotic train trips. By coincidence, I read Bazaar and loved it enough to buy several copies for friends. Alas, this will not be the case with Old Patagonian. The premise was the same in both books that he boarded his local commuter train and just kept going, but it’s less wonderful the second time around. Theroux boards the train in Boston, his childhood home, in the teeth of the most vicious winter, and heads south way south: Patagonia by way of all the Americas. The America he leaves is icy and bleak. The Americas he encounters are largely hot, stark and poor. There are few exceptions. The journey is nasty, brutish and long. It is possible that the listlessness of his surroundings made Theroux more introspective and querulous. The exuberance in Bazaar was real. Here, on the few occasions when it surfaces, it feels forced. Considering it was his idea to make the trip in the first place, he is palpably homesick a good deal of the time. The further he gorges into the single-tracked wastes, the more domestic his imagery hills "like failed souffles” and deserts “like kittylitter.” The book’s 22 chapters take their names from the trains he rode the Aztec Eagle, the Balboa Bullet and such. The train was often the poor people’s transport, busses and planes being preferred by those with a choice. Scenery is dutifully described, although he sleeps through some of the best, he says. The characters aren’t special, which is bad luck as much as anything else. .This is less a book of scenery and characters than one of sheer observation, rumination and philosophy about Theroux’s two chiefinterests travel and writing. We hear all about the books he’s taken with him, so Twain, Conrad and Boswell are strewn amongst the cactus, played off against the responsibly gathered snippets of historic, socio-politic and economic data about the places passed through. He’s done his homework. There is emphasis on the Catholic church. Theroux was raised Catholic and finds much to say about the architecture and practice in the solidly Catholic territories he traverses. There is a solitude/loneliness on this expedition that seemed not to plague the Theroux who wrote Bazaar. Although the worst that befalls him is rats in his room, altitude quease and a gashed hand, he admits to the fear of death so far from home. And that rings true. Theroux does succeed in making us feel what he feels and see what he sees. He is strong on physical detail. What disappoints is the way this good writer is, here, too selfconsciously a writer. The stuff is workmanlike, fastidious, but not flowing. He coyly makes the point, too early and then far too often, that this weird trip started out on the Boston commuter train. He even uses it as his closing sentence, by which time it is blanched of all irony: there’s no punch left in the line. Read The Great Railway Bazaar instead. It’s terrific. — — — — — Shelley TUmer �December, 1979 II HowAudio History is made. Has American ingenuity taken a back seat to cheaper foreign labor?

Mantaray, on the other hand, deliVers a clearly-defined sound wedge that keeps its strength regardless of the music’s changing frequencies. ” L.S. and foreign patents pending "I S Patent No 4050541 ' You get the full spectrum of sound and the most solid threedimensional stereo image you’ve ever heard. And since the sound doesn’t diminish off center axis, the Model 14 enlarges your listening area, your “stereo sweet spot.” As an extra benefit, Mantaray’s precise sound focusing means your music goes in your ears—not in your drapes, walls, and ceilings. Consequently, it’s more likely than other speakers to sound the same in your home as it does in your dealer’s showroom. Then to give you even higher highs, we developed the first radial phase plug, the Tangerine®** In contrast to conventional phase plugs with two equidistant circular slots that block some frequencies, the Tangerine’s tapered slots permit a free flow of high frequencies to beyond 20 KHz.

Midler as The Rose plays a late Sixties superstar, hard-drinking, high-living, a pathetic creature bufFetted by fame and fortune, unable to cope with the pressures of stardom and her own insecurities, a loud-mouth who disguises her fears with trashy talk. But Midler claims she’s not playing Jam’s Joplin. Flapdoodle. The only significant difference between Joplin and the Rose is that Midler (and the script) are occasionally quite funny. But even her clothes are flashier recreations of Joplin’s feathers and furs; in fact, Midler’s clothes offer one of few clues to the period of this film (along with the light show pulsing behind her concerts and “The Rose ’69 Tour" emblazoned on the nose of her plane). The entire movie looks as if it were filmed last week on a budget of $103,000 $100,000 for Midler’s clothes and $3 for everything else. The exception to the generally muddled tone is the concert footage: Midler’s moves and voice are captured with a clear eye and a keen ear; we feel the siren appeal, the suscitation of getting up on a stage anti symbolically stroking several thousand people at the same time. Almost as good as being there. The weakest link is Alan Bates as Midler’s Machiavellian manager, a man so nasty and exploitive it’s impossible to understand why or how they ever got together. They shout at each other for two hours; she not only shouts at Bates, she roars, throws bottles, gets drunk, screws around, cries, screams and hollers. It's enough to wear a poor reviewer out. There are only two or three quiet moments in the film, played with her AWOl. G.T/ chauffeur (Forrest, who’s excellent), a l>eacon of calm masculinity in the showbiz madness. But Midler goes for the jugular most of the time; nuance escapes her (and director Rydell, not known for his subtlety). As one unimpressed patron noted, ‘it’s just two hours waiting for her to OD.” It’s not surprising that the most effecting moments are the understated ones: while driving through her old neighborhood, she sees her father and mother in the front yard, and immediately hides herself from them; when she finally faces her hometown audience, the Rose returning triumphant, she just stands in the applause for a — amateurishly executed movies to which American film-goers have been subjected lately has grown by one: ifRocky had puppies, Running would be the runt of the litter. It’s like this: Michael Andropolis (Douglas) is a dropout from grad school, jobs and a 14-year-old marriage to Janet (Anspach), leaving all behind to do what he really wants to do —run. And not just from his hole in Manhattan to Janet’s house in Brooklyn, but in the Olympics in Montreal. Encouragement comes from everywhere, including Janet’s new boyfriend Howard, a car dealer, who gives Michael a job washing cars. Douglas prepares for the Olympic pre-trials, but when our hero trains, he doesn’t sweat. One of the pre-trial winners suffers a leg fracture, Douglas makes the team, and the rest of the film is devoted to; one, getting his marriage back together (we hear a lot of “I love you’s’j; and, two, running, with many slow motion scenes backed by the most florid, rococo piano since Ronnie Aldrich. The composer, Andre Gagnon, must be deaf. In Montreal Douglas encounters his former coach, who reminds him and us that Douglas once didn’t try hard enough during the Ran Am Games and that if he’s to prove he’s a man, then he’d better finish this race, first or last. To make all this fit the scenario, writer Stern has Douglas drop face down into a pile of leaves, seemingly out of the race with a dislocated shoulder (so Jim McKay, the voice of the Olympics, Mary Beth Hurt & John Heard in Head over Heels tells us). But, no, hours later he arises like Lazarus and trudges into the Stadium, collapsing into the arms of his waiting compatriots, including a smiling coach and an expressionless wife Janet. The end?

Look out world. But the anti-nuke campaign is uppermost in her mind and conversation these days, a subject she’s been discussing nonstop for the past several weeks. “I've been doing benefits for years, but this is the first time I helped organize one,” she says, putting on a gee-whiz face. "1 looked around that airplane and there were 80 rock and rollers on their way to New York, and 1 looked at Jackson [Browne) and said, ‘We did it, this is really going to happen.”’ Those concerts were the Monterey Pop of the movement, focusing national attention on the ever-growing fear of meltdowns in our backyards, nuclear waste underfoot, radiation in the ait and water, doom waiting everywhere. “Humanity is the issue,” Raitt says simply. “This movement appeals to Democrats and Republicans, young people and old people. When we first started organizing, we were told that we’d never get all these different radical groups to cooperate, work together, but they did. Maybe because the artists organized it, it has more credibility. If these various groups want the money, they’re gonna have to get along,” she says, shaking her h Sims CS IS for a Her edia d the Safe York hows •liars for now ar to ,Tbe musicians God, that makes it sound like I’m a Communist instead of all these musicians having their own independent studios in their own houses, their own buses, maybe they should gel togelher-and use each other’s, have a community; I'd also like to have a production company, to find musicians who aren’t having an easy time in the business now, and give them a chance to make a record.” Some commercially astute industry observers might have thought Warner Bros, was taking a chance on Raitt back in 1972. Untried, unfamous, daughter of one of America’s most successful musical comedy stars, John Raitt, she was a cute redhead with freckles and a wholesome smile who, incongruously, sang de blooze and played guitar just like-a ringin’ a bell, lowdown slide guitar and huger picking with the dexterity of a lacemaker. She is probably the liest female guitarist in this country, or this business, or both. Her choice of music sometimes seemed to dictate her personality of the moment, from intelligent white rock & roll by Jackson Browne, Joni Mitchell and Rain’s East Coast friends Joel Zoss, Eric Kaz and Chris Smither, to the tough and easy country blues, black music from Sippie Wallace, Fred McDowell, Mississippi John Hurl. Half of the time Raitt was a bawdy boozer, the other half she was a bright, committed responsible artist. Bui whatever she was, she never seemed too impressed with herself. Even now, she points out the zit on her forehead in a photograph, laughs at her “sausage-roll arms” and casually remarks, “I have always hated my voice; I like it more now, it’s deeper, everybody’s voice gets better in time. 1 don’t consider myself a great artist in the league of Jackson Browne or Joni Mitchell; it doesn’t bother me, it’s an art to be able to interpret other people's songs.” Although she says “I’d rather be off the road than on,” Raitt has some definite goals in mind right now, and they don’t all include anit-nuclear activities. She’s out there promoting her new record, the first produced by Peter Asher (hitmaker for James Taylor, also an anti-nuke activist, and Linda Ronstadt). Raitt wants a hit. Her recent appearance in Urban Cou>hoy she plays the girl in the band at the Texas nightclub where Travolta shakes his stuff was more calculated. “I did it just to get some money for the movie I want to make about me and Sippie, you know [this delivered in a singsong bored debutante voice]: “...two strong independent women, their friendship crossing racial artd generational lines..Sippie Wallace is the black Detroit woman whose boisterously sexy songs Raitt recorded on her first two albums: “Woman Be Wise,” “Mighty Tight Woman,” “You Got to Know How.’ Wallace’s songs, perhaps more than any others, characterized Raitt’s good-time, — — finger teacher-style. “It turned my life around, even though I’ve been political all my life. We all had an emptiness in our lives, we were having a generally good time, but because of the coming together on this issue, it’s made everybody’s lives belter. I’m much more disciplined. The response from other musicians has been unbelievable. Suddenly we’re growing up, all these independent politicians, rock and roll people, activists, scientists and artists, never in the history of the civilize_d world has there Ireen an alliance like this.” She says all this in a rush of words; while she's clearly said it all before, her conviction is apparent. When the war in Viet Nam ended, there were no more major causes, nothing that could unify our country. Hundreds of thousands of people were out there with the training, the desire for a cause, for something to do and believe in. Three Mile Island handed it to them. “We’ve worked with people locally; the response all across the country is overwhelming,” Raitt says. The success of the New Vbrk concerts was so gratifying, so encouraging, there will no doubtbe more of them in other places. On a less grandiose scale, Raitt’s own concerts will have tables in the lobbies doling out anti-nuke information. Rain’s activism has been a constant throughout her career —the result, she let’s-hit-the-booze-and-then-the-sack earsays, of being raised a Quaker. “I was lier image. But Wallace is now 81 years old; taught that you shouldn’t be working just “Time is running out,” Raitt says, She needs for yourself, you shouldn’t just work for about $400,000 to make the film, a minisyour own satisfaction.” The idea was, and cule budget by Hollywood standards, but is, to help others, and her commitment to no one has come up with the cash yet. So this ideal is not limited to her many benefit Raitt wants a hit record, a movie, anything performances. “I’m interested in a more that will let her get Wallace’s movie made. cooperative way of organization among ‘But I wouldn’t do a disco song just to have — — �December, 1979 hit record,” she qualifies. As for Urban Cowboy, “It wasn’t a particularly obnoxious a project When 1 first met Raitt seven years ago, she said she didn’t want to lie a superstar or have zillion-selling records, she just wanted to sell enough so she could keep making more records and live her own life. So far, her album sales have cooperated; Sweet Forgiveness, her biggest, has sold 470.000, not quite gold; her first, Bonnie Raitt, clocks in at 185,000. Only one song, 'Good Enough” from her Home Plate album, ever came close to FM hildom. “I’d rather spend my time and life being a whole person, a good mate; getting up on stage is not my entire life, even though I really enjoy it." Jane Fonda has been a role model for Raitt lately: “Her meshing of the roles of motherhood and wife and politician and artist, I admire greatly." But Raitt realizes that if she is to accomplish some of the more abitious goals she’s set for herself, from solar energy to Sippie Wallace on film, she must sell herself more, which may or may not have had some influence on her choice of Peter Asher as producer for The Glow. Asher, who’s been snugly lucked into the best-selling album charts for years by producing James Taylor and Linda Ronstadt, once told Rolling Stone that he would be pleased to work with Raitt. Years later. .. The Glow turned out to be a change for Raitt and Asher. “It’s the rawest, funkiest record Peter and Val [Avery] ever made,” Raitt says. “Everybody played their butts off." Asher himself, who says he’s been a big admirer of her singing for a long time," thinks The Glow “is simpler than her earlier albums; it’s white rock & roll as opposed to black R&B.” Raitt hastens to add that “I was happy with my records with [former producer] Paul Rothchild, but 1 Just wanted a change. The Glow was the most pleasurable record I’ve ever made, we did everything live, everything was done on the first or second take with almost no rehearsal. That doesn’t mean the other producers didn’t treat me with Rothchild probably would have respect recorded me live, but my voice wasn’t as good then. My voice wasn’t together in the past like it was for this record. I think I’ve grown as a singer.” Her voice has always been sweet and sexy, now it’s confident too. Even the album cover shows a new Raitt: no more self-conscious poses where she looked like a cornfed hippie; this is stylish womanhood, glamorous cascades of hair. And on the back cover, the hair is tossed over her face, like those slow-motion shampoo commercials. Not a prolific songwriter by any standards (her seven albums contain only six Raitt originals), she makes solid, personal, likeable songs. “Standing by the Same Old Ixwe," the only Raitt tune on The Glow, is a hymn to her 7-year relationship with Garry George, a tall red-headed Texan who, when they first met, was West Coast Director oTPublicity at WB. “After six years together, Garry and I split up for awhile, but when I had a year off the road we were able to get back together.

Nelson will also contribute songs to the film. The impromptu session at the El Inca gives the rookie actor a chance to play for his new friends and jam with the Salt Lick Outlaws, an Austin band he has known for years. For Nelson, transition from music to movies was somehow inevitable, and made in its own time. After decades of kicking and scratching, he has (at what might be considered a ripe old age for such success) made it big in the music world. And, it seems, he has made the transition with inordinate ease and grace. “I’ve always been a movie fan,” Nelson says, “ever since I was a kid and used to go to the Saturday movies and watch the cowboys.” But why did Nelson wait until this stage in his career to become an actor? “Because no one ever asked me before,’ he deadpans. Actually, Nelson had previously turned down several parts thatdidn’t interest him, “But this time," he states simply, “it was Robert Redford who asked me. Who can turn down Robert Redford?” Not Willie Nelson. “It was mainly being in a movie with Robert that interested me. It didn’t matter what the movie was about. 1 didn’t care,” he says, smiling. The Electric Horseman, to be released at Christmas, concerns itself with an aging former rodeo champion (Redford) who makes his living, such as it is, endorsing breakfast cereal for a huge conglomerate. He is drugged, drunk and buying time. The company owns a $12 million racehorse which represents their logo, and at their convention in Las Vegas the cowboy realizes that the horse is in pretty sorry shape, too. In a moment of lucidity, he steals the horse, rides it down off the stage of Caesar’s Palace and out through the casino, and disappears into the Las Vegas night, pursued not long after by Jane Fonda, playing an inquisitive television newswoman (yes, again). The Him follows the fugitive cowboy across the breathtaking expanses of southern Utah (around St. George and Zion National Park), as he slowly regains his self-respect and those values which his longtime friend and manager Wendell (played by Nelson) calls “the best part of himself.” Wendell is the sidekick and moral support, making sure the cowboy is dressed and ready for his personal appearances, that he’s conscious when he needs to be, drunk when it’s time, and happy when it’s possible. Redford and Nelson have been friends for some time. They met at record producer Billy Sherrill’s house in Nashville at a time when the actor was setting up some benefit concerts for the Consumer Action Fund. Eventually Nelson played Washington, D.C. for CAPand a summer concert at Redford’s resort at Sundance, Utah. Nelson isn’t nervous about his acting. “I felt like I knew what to do,” he says. “I felt like I knew what acting was about a little bit because music is not that much different. The cameras don’t bother me.” He has said that memorizing dialogue is easier than memorizing songs. On the set, he takes direction from Pollack in an open, almost ingenuous way. Pollack, a former actor and a director accomplished at coaxing superb performances from his players (The Way We Were, They Shoot Horses, Don’t They f, et al.) appreciates Nelson for his intelligence and for his unaffected cooperativeness. Pollack gives him a great deal of room, guiding rather than pushing. The director credits Nelson with bringing the “same kind of relaxed confidence he has on stage” to his role in The Electric Horseman “He’s just wonderful," Pollack says enthusiastically. “He doesn’t complicate things. He doesn’t get in the way of his part. He told me once that when you sing you say the words and sing the melody. He approaches his role the same way. Willie has a simple, concentrated elegance that is truly unique." Pollack is a classic worrier, but Nelson’s easy attitude, quiet enthusiasm and sense ofcalm relaxes everyone. “1 really didn’t know what to expect of films,” says Nelson, “so I was kind of often for anything.” What he found was an almost languid pace.“It’s been a lot different from what I’ve been used to on the road, doing one-nighters.This is really kind of a vacation for me. I’ve enjoyed it very much. 1 think I’d probably get restless if 1 had to do this forever." During Electric Horseman's filming, Nelson put finishing touches on an album of Krjs Kristofferson tunes which will be released after the first day of the year, and he Choosing the Since Right Turntable most of the music reproduced over a stereo system originates in the grooves of phonograph records, it’s important to choose a turntable system wisely. If the tiny signals translated from those wiggles in the disc’s grooves are distorted before they enter the electronics system, there’s nothing that amplifiers, receivers or speakers can do to clean them up. It has been said that all a turntable system has to do is spin discs at a constant speed (33 Vs or 45 rpm) and allow the cartridge, with its stylus or “needle,” to trace the wiggles in the record groove with precision. Sounds simple, but look at all the types and models o£ turntable systems available. Why are there so many claims and counterclaims by so many manufacturers, all of whom maintain that their way of accomplishing these fundamental requirements is better than anyone else’s? Belt Drive vs. Direct Drive While the last decade has witnessed the popularization of direct-drive turntables, there are still a good many makers of turntables who insist that a belt-drive system is superior. The truth is that each system has advantages and disadvantages. In a direct-drive system, a slow-speed motor's turning shaft is connected directly to the turntable’s center spindle. No linkages are required between the motor and the platter itself, so there are fewer bearings and less friction to worry about. Direct-drive motors are generally driven and controlled electronically, rather than by direct connection to the AC power source. Therefore, fluctuations in home voltage have no effect upon speed of rotation, which can often be adjusted by means of a simple front panel control. The slow speed of the direct-drive motor generally results in less overall vibration which, translated found time to go into the studio with Leon Russell and record over 100 songs in six days, a collection released as the double album One for the Road. And how did Nelson choose which tunes out of the 100 to include in the album? “I let Leon do it," he says with characteristic aplomb. There is also some work with Booker T. Jones coming up, an album Nelson refers to as Son of Stardust. Jones, formerly of the Memphis pop-funk group Booker T. and the M.G.’s, produced Nelson's Stardust LP just over a year ago. A Christmas album, Pretty Paper, was just released. All these albums are squeezed between expanding film commitments. Nelson is to star in Honeysuckle Rose, which is about an aging country singer. “That’s another one that won’t take much acting,” he says good-naturedly. “I could relate to that one pretty good.” Afterwards comes the much talked-about production of The RedHeaded Stranger, which Universal will finance through Bay Pony Productions, a increased wow-and-flutter, or wavering of musical pitch in the reproduced music. Recent studies have also shown that in all but the best direct-drive turntable systems, the same electronic circuits that control speed accuracy can also cause the turntable to “hunt” or rise above and fall below precise speed. The modern belt-drive system can also be operated with a relatively slow-speed motor which may also be electronically controlled. The rubber-like belt, if precision made, tends to damp out or absorb any irregularities of rotation, imparting a smooth and consistent rotation to the turntable platter itself. Of course, not all belt-drive systems use such sophisticated motors and one cannot deny the fact that eventually the belt can wear out and have to be replaced. On the other hand, in a beltdrive system the motor can easily be isolated mechanically from the turntable platter itself, so that less of its inherent vibration is transmitted to the platter and from there to the phono pickup. The best way to decide, as in all hi-fi purchasing decisions, is by extensive listening tests coupled with a reading of the relevant technical specification which, in this case, would be the rumble spec, quoted in dB. The higher the number of dB, the lower the rumble and noise. — Modern Tonearm Design company set up by Nelson and his friends Gary Busey and Jan-Michael Vincent.

Turntables range from totally manually operated systems (in which the tonearm must be set down on the first groove and removed after the record has been played) to totally automatic multiple-play changer systems which will play six or more records in sequence. Most common among audiophiles are machines that play only one record at a time, and lift the tonearm automatically. The myth about record changers mishandling your precious discs is true only if you are talking about low-fi, cheap record players in the $29.95 to $49.95 category. Since record changers depend upon the tonearm initiating the change cycle, most of them do require cartridges that track at slightly heavier downward forces than do single-play machines, and that may be an important consideration in terms of record wear. Buying Tips In choosing the right turntable for your system, never treat the cartridge as an afterthought. Choose it (and listen to it) at the same time that you buy the turntable. Tap lightly on the base of the turntable, while it is playing, to see how susceptible the system is to mechanical jarring. Turn up the music to loud levels to insure against howling feedback. Keep the turntable as far away from your speaker locations as possible to avoid this form of feedback. If possible, listen to the turntable and cartridge combination by connecting them to the actual amplifier or receiver and speakers with which they will ultimately be used. Phono cartridges, like speakers, are electro-mechanical transducers and, unlike the purely electronic elements ofyour hi-fi system, are subject to the greatest amount of variation from model to model. In the last analysis, only your ears can tell you which ones sound stereo Recent trends in tonearm design have been towards lower and lower mass "without sacrificing rigidity or stiffness.

Don Snowden Elton John Victim of l-ove (MCA) — — — that’s already produced a radio hit, ’Roxanne,” from their first album. Vocalist/bassist Sting's Aryan good looks and striking, high-pitched singing makes him perfect for the glossy celeb magazines. All the Police lack is the ability to come up with an album's worth of good material. Reggatta contains three stand-out tracks the single “Message in a Bottle," the reggae-influenced ‘Walking on the Moon" and “This Bed's Too Big Without Vbu." The rest ranges from pretty good to pretty lame. Production is fuller and busier than on the first release, closer to the band’s live sound, and the influence of ‘dub’ reggae is more evident. But it’s that basic rhythmic thrust centered around the surging, active Sting-Stewart Copeland rhythm section and topped by Summer's spare, effective guitar playing that makes the Police enjoyable even when their playing isn't up to snuff. — Don Snowdon The Who (and Others) Quadrophenia (Polydor) Basically soundtrack-plus, this album loses a little impact without the film, but there is still enough vital a The Police Reggatta De Blanc (A&M) An Anglo-American trio likely to be the first new wave band to hit it big, the Police offer a fresh, technically accomplished rock 'n' reggae blend Styx’ thirst for “significance,” the group adroitly exploits its crass pop formulas.

Despite Neither John nor his longtime partner Bernie Taupin wrote any of this album's tunes. Also, John doesn’t play piano. That can hardly be called dealing from strength. An eightminute disco version of Chuck Berry’s “Johnny B. Goode” gets things off to a hazardous start. The remainder, six disco tracks written by producer Peter Belotte and others, offers little more than John’s familiar voice over a repetitive beat. John and Taupin are reportedly in the process of making a new album. Maybe it'll be the return to form that Victim of Love didn’t achieve. Styx Cornerstone (A&M) While some may consider synthesizers, looping melodies, keening three-part harmonies and gee-whiz mysticism the bane of rock and roll, Styx, along with Supertramp, Kansas and a host of other earnest practitioners, continues to mine the genre with sometimes satisfying results. Cornerstone has its share of insufferable pretenses, but careful craftsmanship and emphasis on ringing riffs fuels Cornerstone for an impressive culated? What else? Deborah Harry as Blondie is probably here to stay, like Cher, Dolly Parton and Ethel Merman.

A bass and piano line are central to “House of Wax,” on which Walcott’s sitar is the primary voice, accented by the breathy flute of McCandless.

His bass gets a woody, thumping sound that Alls rooms and bounces easily, while his piano is ruminative and sparse. The quartet pieces show a different coat again, with Zbigniew Siefert, the late Polish violinist, and Jan Hammer playing pin-pointed, exuberant drums on two rock works. There are also quiet trio opuses with cellist David Darling. All the Mornings utilizes two ensembles, a trio with Art Lande, piano, and Dave Samuels, vibes and marimba; and an elegant woodwind octet.

Sly Stone’s return to vinyl after a lengthy hiatus is a mixed bag, neither the work of a cocaine casualty— as nor a smashingly many feared triumphant comeback. Sly's brand of funk doesn’t sound — Sonny Rollins dated in the least. His vocals are on the mark, as is the horn section and backing vocals that always made the Family Stone so distinctive. However, the music and production is altogether too slick and smooth, lacking any sort of dynamic variation; none of the songs really stick in the memory. A flawed, inconclusive effort, the album nonetheless indicates that Sly can’t be counted out yet. Consumer Note: This record contains only 26Vt minutes of music. Don Snowden 1979 ist of our time. Sonny nevertheless stays true to himself; he always swings, he plays with a never-ending energy and enthusiasm that makes even the weakest song happen, and his almost-human tenor sound gets rougher, warmer, more personal as the years are logged. Don’t Ask has lots of music: the funky “Harlem Boys"; ‘Disco Monk," a hot and cold item with a storming Larry Coryell guitar solo; the melodious "My Ideal”; and the straight-ahead title track.

Karla Bonoff Restless Nights (Columbia) Famous for her own and for Ronstadt’s versions of “1 Can’t Hold On” and other originals, Bonoff exhibits her usual flair on Restless Nights, with special emphasis on evocative, heartrending melodies. Yet, while not bloodless, Bonoff’s voice lacks emotional precision. Good songs all, the material on Restless Nights cries to be milked of its pathos. Bonoff just doesn’t have the chords.

Mutiny Mutiny on the Mamaship (Columbia) In its original, undiluted form, Funkadelic was the most original and amusing black music concept of the Seventies. George Clinton, P-Funk mastermind and chief booty polisher, took hard James Brown/Sly Stone soul and goosed it up with a heavier bottom and lyrical and musical conceits that incorporated science fiction, Frank Zappa, the purest streetcorner jive and the most complicated cosmogony this side of William Blake. The result was daffy, extravagant dance music looney and mindless and lots of fun. Unfortunately, to borrow a phrase from the P-Funk lexicon, the butt pleasures have waned considerably, as amply demonstrated by Funkadelic's new release. Uncle Jam Wants You. Nothing on the new album comes close to ahcieving the rhythmic delights of the unshakable "One Nation Under a Groove.” Uncle Jam's magnum opus, "(not just) Knee Deep,” is — \ �December, 1979 da/fy, eatraoapant danca musio /ooney — mindless Sc/ots built on a lick so stale that one’s toes barely twitch by the end of its enervating 15-minute course.

Of all these, only “King of Hollywood” and “The Greeks Don’t Want No Freaks” stand out. The former is a well-honed, lengthy look into the world of a movie mogul and his casting couch coterie of starlets (the song sectioned off by three guitar solos, respectively Frey’s, Felder’s and Walsh’s). The latter is noteworthy only for its upbeat silliness, which delivers relief from the slumbering sentiments of its neighbors, "Teenage Jail” and “The Sad Cafe.” Ex-Poco bassist Timothy B. Schmit coughs up “I Can’t Tell You Why,” an insipid MOR-shaded ballad, the same sort of syrup that gave his ex-group their first hit, last year’s “Crazy Love.” And Joe Walsh takes a turnoff from “Life in the Fast Lane” to park his mid-tempo piece entitled “In the City." One imagines the Eagles being dragged from the beach or their pool and into the studio, trying desperately to muster up something, anything. If the Eagles hover into the Eighties making mush like this, extinction isn't far around the next bend. Steven X.

Mutiny is led by former P-Funk drummer Jerome "Him Bad” Brailey, and the thick, kicking sound of his group is a testimonial to some well-learned lessons. Brailey will never win a Grammy for his lyrics; the music is almost strong enough to compensate, however. When this band battens down and sails, one experiences the joy of the purest funkification. The impact of the playing on Mutiny on the Mamaship, combined, with George Clinton’s current lassitude, may lead veteran P-Funk fans to jump ship. Chris Morris I UK Eagi.es to supposed . A deluxe two-record set. The Beat The Beat (Columbia) Undoubtedly the best chunk of vinyl the vaunted Los Angeles New Wave scene has yet delivered. The Beat is everything Gel the Knack was supposed to be, minus the misogyny and hamfisted posturing. Endearing, furious, the songs of singer/songwriter Paul Collins filter an extensive catalog of vintage Sixties riffs through the revved-up, stripped-down Eighties rock consciousness.

This time they’re relying on their talents as stylists, attempting to touch several bases. “Number One” flirts with reggae, “Bebop Drop” is a classic rocker with a Devonian intro and automated beat, "Woman Comes and Goes” is Little Feat funk and "Wtit for Me” is Daryl Hall and vintage Rundgren balladry. Unfortunately, not all the bases they touch are enjoyable. Most of the rest of the album sounds either repetitive or calculated.

They are disconcerting, an Apollonian reserve and introspection in a Dionysian landscape, but they’re also appropriate; Braxton’s preoccupation is with experimental inquiries into the structural possibilities and textures of his writing rather than with melody, rhythm or mood.

Bluebird may pull out by Mark Mdter Campus Editor Bluebird Bus Company—which transports a reported 15,000 to 20,000 students per day between UB’s three campuses—has cancelled its contract with the University effective January 9. “Bluebird wants an increase in the contract based on the increase in fuel costs and we’re having discussions,” UB Vice President for Finance and Management Edward Doty explained. “We’re trying to work something out.” Bluebird invoked the 60-day cancellation clause in the contract November 9 in an effort to obtain two major concessions from the University—an increase in money to cover skyrocketing costs and a firmer contract commitment. The current pact allows either party to cancel with 60 days notice, making it difficult for Bluebird to invest large amounts Of money in equipment, according to Bluebird President Louis Magnano. Magnano has asked the University for a “firm” five year contract without the 60-day clause. “The only way T.want them to be able to cancel is poor service—which is only fair,” Magnano said. A possibility While negotiations continue, UB is reportedly preparing to accept bids for its bus service contract, a move which would allow any one of several area bus companies to end Bluebird’s decade-long reign on campus. \ NO MORE BLUEBIRDS?: Our last look at a Bluabird But may coma soom as tha luabird Bus Company has cancallad Its —continued on page 18— —Dennis R.

The protest was aimed at SONY and University discrimination. News Editor years many attacks have been made against the basic rights of Black students and other minority students.” It cited separate Bus travel from Main Street stopped Monday for about one and one-half hours when approximately 100 black students blocked Diefendorf Loop at Heyd Drive to protest SUNY and UB discrimination. Chanting “We Shall Overcome” and carrying signs claiming “SUNY is Racist” and “No Justice at UB for Blacks,” the ring of demonstrators occupied the area until 2:30 p.m. They then marched through Squire Hall to a third floor meeting room. The protest was reportedly spurred by incidents at- the Ellicott and Governors Complexes that marchers felt were not handled -fairly by University Police. A fact sheet handed out by demonstrators said the action was against the University for not providing black students “the services of which students and taxpayers are paying for.” The Black Student Union, (BSU), which reserved the Squire Hall meeting room, declined all comment until after a meeting is held with University administrators however, one scheduled for 3 p.m. Monday was cancelled by that student organization. Late that afternoon, another session had not yet been arranged. The prepared statement explained that, “Over the past Weekend of problems Also noted were two assaults “made on Black students by White students” over the weekend. The statement read, “No immediate action was taken against the White students involved, although security police had substantial evidence and justifiable cause to apprehend the assaulters.” Director of University Police, Lee Griffin said that the number of incidents over the weekend and the large number of people involved in specifically one of those influenced his unit’s action. At 2:40a.m. Saturday in the Wilkeson Pub a fight allegedly broke out between two UB students, Daniel Angelo—who is white and an unknown black male. The latter reportedly broke a bottle and cut Angelo in the neck. Angelo, according to Griffin, refuses to identify his assaulter. Early Sunday morning 250 to 300 people were involved in a snowball war at Governors and created what Griffin called a “riotous condition.” At 2:32 a.m. there were four or five fights reported at the housing complex. According to Griffin, during the snowball war a car driving past Governor’s was pelted with snowballs. Three black males by Elena Cacavas incidents in December of 1976 and April of 1979. Inside: Where do the children play?—P. 5 / reportedly got out of the vehicle and questioned the incident. Griffin said racial remarks ensued and a fight broke out. The three black males reported the assault to University Police who arrived on the scene. And more problems. Griffin said one of the group of three, Craig Hensen, was involved in a Pub fight earlier that evening at 12:30 a.m. “When he spoke to security officers,” Griffin explained, “he was very upset and screaming incoherently. He mentioned a brown coat, then a blue coat.” Griffin said that a “poor description of the assailant made arrest impossible.” “Also,” he added, “unless there is serious physical injury, if we don’t see the assault, we don’t make arrests, but refer the matter to the courts.” At 2:59 on Sunday morning at Amherst’s Fargo Complex, black student Fred Hendon was reportedly hit with a hockey stick by a white male. Griffin said Monday a warrant was being sought that evening for the assailant’s arrest. Demonstrators Monday carried signs stating that “UB Security is anti-Black” and demanding “Equal Protection for All.” Demands issued by the group specific to last weekend’s incidents call for: an increase in the number of black and Defining English—P. 6 7 Fascination— Pp. 7-13 . . ■■ -continued on / Weak kneed—P. 17 18 �iDigging out, warming up | Buffalo bouncing back ! from year’s first ' x7p : , v -.v •Cky-GdHor ■ T 1 • ' Enough already, Buffalpaians JK who await *he first snowfall each jreaJr Wiih great i were not disappointed last record 1 am.. v tte areas. activity many snow fall blanketed the area and stifled 2 m s Almost 21 inches fell from Friday to Saturday morning.

Friday and Saturday—traditionally the most lucrative shopping days. Grocery stores, however, experienced small rashes on supplies. One such store—Park Edge in South Buffalo —reported “brisk” sales on staple supplies such as bread and milk. “I wouldn’t say people were panicking,” the store manager noted, adding that “as soon as people could dig themselves out on Saturday and Sunday they came down.” About 1000 cars wefe towed away by City and suburban police departments. The City instituted a new,policy this year of towing cars to the nearest cleared area instead of the City’s Seneca Street garages, as in the past. Police stations currently have lists of towed cars, should motorists be unable to locate their abandoned vehicles. Casey said the storm could have been a lot Worse, and reported that the Red Cross had “no calls we couldn’t handle.” His volunteers aided stranded students by snowmobiling their way to them after Mayor Griffin granted his permission.

Ketter will be reappointed by the SUNY Board of Trustess, student representative to the University Council Michael Pierce announced that he will devote the remainder of his term trying to limit Presidential powers. “If he is reappointed, which I expect, 1 think we should make reforms to lessen his impact,” Pierce said. Using the December 14 University Council meeting as a “point of departure,” Pierce will propose that a University Assembly be established. This proposal, Pierce claimed, will put policymaking decisions in the hands of faculty and students, “where they once were, and where they should be.’ The outspoken Pierce—presently in his second term—also announced that he will not seek re-election. “If I’m not going to be an effective representative then there’s no point in my continuing in this job,” Pierce declared, referring to his proposals which have fallen “on , deaf ears.” Believing that “if there ever was a ' & decisions at (his University were the 1 result of student consensus. He u cited the pass/fail system, the four course load which is no longer the S standard and the Colleges. “Those g were the days you saw thousands of students in front of Hayes Hall, | chanting for reforms,” he S recounted. "There’s no reason why this £ University can’t be self-governing,’’ ,gl Pierce charged, “what we have now is a top heavy administration that says ‘we’ve decided, you figure it out.” ’ Pierce, whose current term ends on July 30. said he will spend the rest of his days in office working toward and promoting his goals. Admitting that his proposal is a bit radical, he said, ‘Td go into diabetic shock if they approved all this.” J ‘I don’t think they’re going to agree with these things. People are quite content plowing through the maze.” Pierce said he would be happy if his suggestions ‘‘simply provoked widespread discussion.” He added that “this is what’s needed to survive on ihese miserable budgets we’ve been getting.” In reference to Ketter’s possible reappointment. Pierce acknowledged that the SUNY Trustees put him in his position to bring order to this University, and that they have liked the way he has handled that job. Concerning Ketter’s recent comments that the Presidential Evaluation Team was impressed with UB, Pierce “The traditional view of complained, “I was pissed-off at university governance is that the those remarks—that we’re the envy students bring forth legislation,” he of the Big Ten. With a library that explained, “and the Administration closes at five on Fridays?” Pierce concluded that “the worse implements and modifies it.” Pierce said that before Ketter we can do is all lose together and assumed office in 1970, many have each other to blame.” standing committees to deal with the budget, finance and tenure.

The proposed Assembly, he said, will have Plummeting aptitude test scores puzzle educators evidenced by automatic promotions, grade inflation and by John Lapiana reduced.homework. Education Editor New York State Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) scores—once the pride of educators from Brooklyn to Buffalo—have dropped sharply within the last decade. Although SAT scores throughout the nation have fallen a combined 86 points since 1963, New York State results have plummeted more than the rest of the nation. As recently as 1972, State scores were well above the national average. 1972 State scores were seven points above the US norm in the verbal section of the SAT (460 to 473), while 11 points higher in the math section (495-484). Today those once impressive math scores have fallen to just two points above the national median (469-467) while the verbal scores have tumbled to two points below the US average <425 to 427). Education Department Director _of Public Information, Arnold Bloom told the Buffalo Evening News that in the past New York State students’ performance on these tests has been cited as an example of “students getting plenty of education for their parents’ tax dollars.” Bloom expressed surprise after being informed that New York State scores were nothing more than average. Neither the State Education Department nor the Board of Regents are sure what the decline actually means. “It is of great concern to me,” Regents’ member Willard Genrich told the News, “We’re always among the national leaders.” Although the drop of this State’s scores comes as a surprise to many, measures have been taken on the national level to find the causes behind the puzzling slide. A national panel was established in 1975 to study the decline in SAT scores. After two years of research, the panel issued a report enumerating what it believed were the causes behind the SAT slump. The Committee discovered that the causes of declining scores in the sixties could be attributed in part to an increase State in the number of less able and intelligent students taking the as a college admission requirement. Since 1970, however, the test-taking contingent has “stabilized” and new factors appear to be affecting the scores. The panel concluded that: —Adding more elective courses in high school and cutting required classes has weakened the “traditions of critical reading and careful writing.” —Diminished attention is given to mastery of skills as * ' GRADUATION/YEARBOOK PORTRAITS (at last) Room 346 Squire Hall Friday from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m, add Monday Tuesday.

And add two more strikes against a student if the person were a child of the sixties taking the SAT, the panel points but. The rise of television experienced in the last two decades has ‘Retracted from homework” and also “competes with schooling.” The panel also concludes that’the “decade of distraction” which included Vietnam, political assassinations, riots and political corruption apparently had negative effect on children’s motivation to learn. Educators throughout the State however, have found it difficult to pinpoint any reasons why the New York State scores have dipped more than the national average. State Bureau of Elementary and Secondary Testing Programs Chief Winsor Lott believes the decline in State scores cannot be tied to the quality of New York State schools. “The SATs are supposed to measure developed reasoning ability, an aptitude for learning intelligence,” Lott told the News. “They don’t measure mastery of basic skills or things that are easily taught in the schools.” Lott added that it would be difficult to make “the big jump” from the trend in scores to the conclusion that there is “something wrong with the schools.” Genrich is not in full agreement. “I think we Have the best educational system in the country,” he said. “But 1 think we could do more.” Genrich also believes SAT scores will rise when discipline and attention to the educational basics have been reestablished in the schools. In spending for elementary and secondary education, New York State leads the entire nation, besting the national average by 45 percent, and increasing puzzlement over the testing score decline. ■ test • �April pre-registration ( 12 15 *2 f<y$s\ >yXr\\ 2h m9 : ■ • ¥ ivf w W y\ 11 t y $■ £ ■ I* \V Teaching Award Committee ■-' p ,, ; ..c- ' i . , .; . >■•-■■■- ¥ m •- , J= t STUDENT ASSOCIATION A : • | ■ jjl 2 o S i /JLL i . ¥ • MEMBERS WILL: | ’ ¥ Accept nominations of instructors from the students > . t AJ at-large. 2) Evaluate the instructors according to established criteria . to t a set of & be developed by the committee. y ' % ¥ 3) 2 Select the winner of this year's Student Association Teaching Award '79. ¥ ¥ ¥ I 5 1 | ¥ , IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN SERVING ON 7MS COMMITTEE PLEASE CONTACT JUDIANN AT THE SA OFFICE, 636-2950. - % ¥ M i Attempts to better UB; registration wait gone? we've been finding,” said Director of Admissions and Records Richard Dremuk, is The days of the eight-hour departmental changes in course wait in registration lines may schedules.

He explained that the Spring registration, now underway, is still going according to the old schedule since there wasn’t enough time to organize. Registration must be preceeded by class scheduling in each department, he noted, and computers must be programmed and readied. “One of the biggest problems After students submit a course request form, Dremuk said, a “demand analysis” can be performed. With this analysis, departments can judge whether more sections of a certain course are needed during the gap between pre-registration and schedule card distribution. Students could then make the changes right at the computer terminal, he said. Dremuk noted that, perhaps as soon as one year from now, “real time” could become a reality, enabling students to complete the entire registration process right at the computer terminal with instant results.

We have been told that in America's children lies the of America’s children, especially those foresaken babies who art innocent victims of human weakness and misfortune. ” —Francis Cardinal Spellman The National Center on Child Abuse and Neglect estimates that between 2,000-4,000 childhood deaths occur annually due to circumstances that suggest abuse and neglect. Child abuse and child neglect are two separate but often related problems. “Abuse, both physical and sexual, is when a child sustains serious physical injury such as broken bones, burns or welts,” said Clinical Specialist of the Child Protective Service of Erie County Penny Rubin, “Neglect, on the other hand, is an omission of essentials such as lack of food, clothes or supervision,” she explained. In boiling water Why would a parent beat his child unconscious or place it in a tub of boiling water? “There are so many reasons—ft is usually not just one,” Rubin explained. “Theparents may have been abused themselves or have a lack of control and parenting skills.” She added that, surprisingly, only a small percent of the parents who batter their children have serious . V. psychiatric disorders. Harmed children are members of families from every background. “The maltreatment of children cuts across all social and economic lines,” commented Rubin, however, “there is no denying that neglect does have economic implications.” She explained that a family which does hot have money for proper food, clothing or medical treatment c piay snore often neglect its children. ‘-‘The Scars ingrained in a battered child-’* body are both physical and mental,” wrote Family Court Judge Nanette Dembitc, in a three volume report, for the National Center on Child Abuse and Neglect. “It is as natural for a maltreated child to grow up to carry a knife as it is for a loved and cared for child to carry a pen or pencil,” she asserted. Reported cases of child abuse and neglect arerapidly rising: the level of reports in New York State for 1978 has seen a 52 percent increase since 1974 according to the New York State Department of Social Services. “It should not be taken, however, to mean that there is more child abuse today then five years ago,” cautioned a Program Specialist in the N.V.S. Child Protective Department. He explained lhat the rise is more likely due to the increased social awareness of the problem—people are now more likely to report instances of maltreated children. ri ,i . h **• - : ... to encourage the fullest degree injury. Baby snatchers Of those who report cases of child abuse, 60 percent are not legally required to by law—friends, relatives and neighbors. Within 24 hours after a report of abuse is called into the local Child Protective. Agency, a social worker is sent to investigate. According to Rubin, "If the child is determined to be in imminent danger, where waiting could cause serious injury or death, the child is removed.” She explained that within 24 hours a court order must be obtained from family qotirt for custody of the child. “Peoplethink we snatch babies,” said Rubin, "but only 10.15 percent of the cases involve removing the child from the home.” She added that the emphasis of the Child Protection Agency is ifhore on the rehabilitation of the parents than separation of the child from the family. About one-half of the reports arc found to be actual cases of abuse and neglect. According to Rubin, a number of avenues for action are possible after a case is determined to be serious. She said a child can be placed in a foster home, the family may undergo counseling or a social worker may go into home aftd monitor the superv.su, n of the family. : - — ' '■ The increased public awareness stems from the Child Protective Act passed by the New York State legislature in 1974.

She added thafpeople are more aware now that there is a place to report crimes such as incest and rape. The Child Protective Act defines those who are legally required to report maltreatment. The list includes hospital personnel, school officials and police officers. The law also states that failure to report an incident of child abuse by any of these civic workers could result in misdcmeanorxharges. “Some doctors are hesitant to report abuse,” said Rubin, explaining that it is hard to know if it is child abuse omot. She added that “some doctors are terrific in reporting and some shut their eyes.” However, more doctors today are reporting cases of child abuse than five years ago, according to Social Worker at Children’s Hospital Lyn Obstein. ‘‘More and more doctors are referring cases than five years ago because they are more aware.” The doctors are now on the lookout for indicators that point to child abuse. “The total overall care of a child is looked at. but the biggest indicator is the contradictory or farfetched explanations they give about a child’s injury.” She added that the explanations sometimes conflict with the child’s account of the incident and may not coincide with the strength, the hope and the future our country.

Public demands for changes in corporate behavior are no longer addressed solely through the government. Increasingly, groups and individuals are taking their complaints directly to the firm; lobbying in the corporation as well as through the political process. The past decade has seen a vast improvement in the ethical behavior of corporations in response to shareholder demands. The movement was initiated by civil rights activists’ demonstrations and protests against corporations’ production of arms during the Viet Nam War. These challenges to firms were followed by the more politically sophisticated challenges of the 1970’s which attempted to make management more socially accountable by working within the system. Since 1970, direct citizen pressures and rulings of the Security and Exchange Commission (SEC) have Increased corporate accountability and strengthened democratic participation. Public lobbying against business began with the anti-war and civil tights movements of the 1960’s. The employment and investment policies of corporations like Kodak, Dow Chemical and Bank ofAmerica were repeatedly and sometimes violently challenged by the movement. Since 1970, the tactics of citizen groups have become more legally oriented, in an attempt to make business more socially accountable, Ralph Nader formed an organization called Project oft Corporate Responsibility (PCR). PCR sought to effectuate changes by working from within the corporation in contrast to the outside pressure tactics employed by civil rights and anti-war activists. Corporations as government Many of PRC’s supporters regard corporations as a political system or a private government. Current legal, academic and popular opiniori argued that the tremendous slzetond pervasive power of firms over society is analogous to that of government; therefore they ought to be treated like government. The movement is accurately described as a movement for copdrate < accountability' Increasingly, expectations of corporate officers have come to resemble the expectations placed upon government officials. Executives are being challenged to make decisions which benefit the public good rather than for the sola object of profit maximization. Corporate executives are forced to weigh the demands of their profit-oriented shareholders wift)the political i and social demands placed on them by their constituencies. For example, President Carter’s public emphasis on human rights has forced United States firms to re-evaluate their Investments in, South Africa and other repressive nations. “Campaign GM,” staffed by a small group of young lawyers sponsored by Ralph Nader’s Project on Corporate Responsibility was the first of these corporate accountability drives. These lawyers wanted to force General Motors to accept accountability for corporation impact on the society at large. “Campaign GM” used the public interest proxy resolution as its •-,» concerned with their economic self-interest than “public spirited” reforms. This prompted them to court the proxy votes of the more sympathetic institutional investors like churches, foundations and universities. General Motors management sought to convince its shareholders—and through them the general public—that it was adequately fulfilling its social responsibilities. GM spent over $500,000 supporting and publicizing its record on auto safety, pollution control and social welfare. At the annual shareholders meeting with over 100 reporters, GM screened a 25-minute film describing the corporation’s commitment to environmental protection and affirmative action. From the start It was clear that the proposals were going to lose. As expected, the vote on PCR’s proposals was anticlimactic. The two proposals received 2.73 and 2.44 percent of the shares voted. GM cosssptossUaea Despite GM's decisive victory, it took two steps to placate the dissatilled shareholders. It established a Public Policy Investors have also expressed their dissatisfaction via the annual meeting In shareholder suits. Today, many shareholders have come to question management autonomy and prerogratives. Officials arc put on the spot to defend their decisions in broad social Impact terms. The most significant shareholderpressure was brought about through class action suits. These suits have sought restitution for illegal political campaign contributions and the offering of overseas bribes to secure contracts. In 1976, six former Gulf officials forfeited a total of $2 million. Robert Dorsey, the company's former chairman, personally lost $1,250,000 as a result of the shareholder suit. These harsh financial penalties were levied as a result of an Illegal $125,000 donation to the Nixon re-election campaign. in 1974, the resurgence of shareholder participation was precipitated by another event—Watergate. What greater justification could there be for challenging management when congressional hearings and SEC investigations had demonstrated the ineffectiveness of government regulations? The Watergate revelations not only resulted in changes in corporate governance; it also critically altered the attitude of the investment community towards managment. A vice-president of a large insurance company stated, “Watergate has shaken the very foundations of our previous trust in the managements of the companies in which we Invested.” Power to the Institutional investors have now began to realize that the degree of freedom and autonomy en)oyed by management is not in the best interest of society or business. Corporations have begun to take shareholder resolutions more seriously. In 1979, more than 100 corporations were presented with shareholder resolutions by public Interest activists. These resolutions touched on social and political Issues such as bank redlining, trade with repressive governments, investments in South Africa and nuclear power. Of the 130 shareholders resolutions presented this year, 28 were withdrawn following discussion and agreement between the proponents and management. Corporate stonewalling of public interest initiatives leaves Probably the two most telling effects of the movement have been in bringing important social issues before the political process . , J and increasing the effectiveness of governmental control in business. main strategy. In February 1970T the group acquired 12 shares of GM common stock. By virtue of their role as stockholders, they then proceeded to submit nine carefully worded proxy resolutions to the company’s 1.3 million shareholders. General Motors, with all the legal precedents on its side, notified the SEC and PCR that it invalidated all the Project’s proposals. Despite the strenuous objections of General Motors, the SEC intervened and ordered GM to include two of the project’s nine proposals on its on its proxy statement. i Campaign GM One of these proposals requested management to expand the board of directors to 26 and to make room for three additional directors. Campaign GM proposed that General Motors add a woman, a black and an environmentalist to the board. The second proposal requested that GM create a “Committee for Corporate Responsibility.” The Committee would insure that management was responsible for the welfare of all its constituencies, not simply its shareholders. Through Campaign GM, PCR hoped to involve GM’s shareholders in their' role as citizens. More individuals are eligible to participate in the election of GM’s board of directors than that of most most elected officials in the United States. Campaign GM recognized that most shareholders were more Committee and later appointed a black to serve on the newly established committee. Campaign GM achieved several important objectives even though their proposals were soundly defeated. These were; a. The establishing of the proxy mechanism as a precedent for future public interest groups. The proxy resolution has quickly become the principal means for shareholders to influence corporate decision-making and wring concessions from management; b. The means of the project—public debate—fulfilled one of its most important objectives: “to engage in public debate with management so that the issues could be discussed in broad terms . . . was not just a tactic; it was one of the broad objectives of the campaign; c. The increased involvement of the SEC in shareholders’ rights and management responsibilities. On two occasions in 1972 and 1976, the SEC has liberalized the rules regarding the submission of proxy proposals. The SEC believes that corporations should become an Mena for the debate of social issues before they reach the political and legislative process. Shareholders question management The proxy mechanism has been the primary means for stockholders to question the autonomy of management. companies open to a poor public image. What corporation wants to take an adversary position to the church or a charitable foundation? Corporations have improved their social performance considerably by disclosing more information and cooperating with public interest groups. The corporate accountability movement however, can hardly be considered a serious challenge to corporate authority. Even if business yielded to all pressures exerted by citizens, it would not cause even a small ripple in most corporate balance shots. Ralph Nader observed, “The managers of the investorowned corporations have so many things to give. Corporations could go on meeting the demands of activists challenging them directly at the current rate forever and still their wealth and autonomy would remain essentially unaffected .T In reality, “Corporate accountability is fundamentally limited by the inability of a privately owned firm to pursue objectives that are incompatible with long run profit maximization.’’ Probably the two most telling effects of the movement have been in bringing important social issues before the political process and Increasing the effectiveness of governmental controls in business. Ultimately, citizen protests provide a means for preserving and strengthening democratic participation within our society.

The Senate is split over ratification of the treaty signed by President Carter and Soviet leader Leonid Brezhnev last Spring. A twothirds vote of the Senate is required for ratification. SALT 11 is a symbolic gesture toward mutual Control of the arms race. Essentially the treaty boils down to quanitfied arms escalation—not disarmament.

UNIVERSITY PLACEMENT IIS MAIN It atom 8544673 CAREER GUIDANCE "Buffalo’s Most Unusual Store” and not ratify SALT II unless the U S. goes full steam ahead with the M-X missile. President Carter has also bowed to military pressure by promising to increase arms spending three percent over the rate of inflation. Heavy military spending is widely acknowledged to contribute to a high inflation rate. Peace dilemma These shortcomings pose a dilemma for peace advocates, who prefer a de-escalation treaty. The pro-SALT II contingent, including many church and labor groups, generally acknowledge the pact’s limited approach to global disarmament. But many groups decided that “a signed treaty is better than none.” Therefore they are pressing their senators to vote for the treaty. The pro-SALT II argument centers on the increased predictability of arms buildup, symbolic cooperation. The M-X, however, is specifically designed to roll under Western U.S. deserts to escape Soviet detection. Pro-SALT II groups thus have the extra burden of opposing the condition under which some senators would approve SALT U. Anti-SALT 11 factions, on the other hand, find its alleged flaws unacceptable. The Senate Foreign Relations Committee Minority Report concludes that SALT H’s failure to limit Soviet expansion sends a signal to the Soviets that “their activity would go unchallenged.” The report notes the Soviet presence in Cuba, which it claims Is a combat force, as one example of Soviet aggression. The hawk argument rests on shaky rgound. Under SALT II, America has issued no guarantee of curbing what the Soviets might see as expansionist policies. Controversies over U.S. and Soviet • us, one lor them” framework. There always is relentless suspicion on both sides. The continual failure of the U S. and the Soviets to recognize this phychology for what it is has frustrated both genuine disarmament and rational discussion. Superpower interventionism is not as widespread as before due to Third World resistance. The Islamic world has denounced both American and Soviet imperialism. The U S. and Russia can no longer expect to carve up the world as if it were an economic pie. In light of this increasing resistance to imperialism, passage or rejection of SALT II may not even be a crucial turning point in history. On the surface, SALT II symbolizes deeply rooted political clashes and economic competition between the superpowers. Ratification of SALT II would probably slow down the arms race somewhat, yet it fails to address the pressing need for genuing �White rule opposition growing S. Africain Editor’s note: This Is life third Installment In a continuing series on South AfricaThis article deals with black resistance to white political oppression. by R. Gilbert Opposition to South Africa’s apartheid regime by the black and mixed blood peoples it controls is of two types—clandestine, illegal armed guerilla activities and legal above ground action.

Pick up applications in the SA OFFICE, 111 Talbert Hall NO LATER THAN December 12th, ’79 South Africa since 1976 Js in just such a situation. The liberation of Mozambique from Portuguese colonial rule in 1975, and tfte civil war that covers 75 percent of Rhodesia have provided accessible refuge and sources of base camps and weapons -for the South African guerillas. The large South African opposition that was responsible for the 1976 Soweto riots, when 500 were killed and thousands wounded by South African authorities, fled in large numbers by 1977 into Mozambique and from there to camps in Zambia and Tanzania. Militarily trained there and based in Mozambique, these fighters increasingly attack security forces and the outlying white farms, bridges and trains in the Transvaal, South northernmost province. Afro's Domestic resistance Following the pattern in Angola, Mozambique and most recently in Rhodesia, white authorities have resettled over a hundred thousand Africans Into ‘protected villages’ similar to the Vietnam era strategic hamlets. The idea is that without sympathizers to hide and feed them, the guerillas cannot survive. Eventually, four million blacks are to be resettled in order to create a ‘white corridor’ to defend against invading guerillas. Evidence of rising domestic resistance is appearing as well. Citizens jailed for specifically political crimes (under Sabotage, Terrorism and Suppression of Communism Acts) number 550, twenty percent above 1978, and close to two and a half times preSoweto levels. Although exact figures, as always, are not readily available, hundreds of blacks are presently detained without charges, often for years. Many political offenses such as assault of police officers and the breaking of curfew and pass laws to attend political meetings are prosecuted under common penal law and not under the political Acts. Who arc the major resistance organizations in South Africa? The African National Congress (ANC), founded in 1912, and its Pan African Congress (PAC) which split off in 1959 are clearly the largest and most significant movements, though others exist of various ideologies. The two groups were banned and forced underground in 1963 sifter the Sharpeville 'crisis when police killed 67 unarmed demonstrators, and an international furor almost paralyzed South Africa economically. As after Soweto in 1976, the radicalization caused by the massacre caused the banning of the important black resistance groups. Surviving crushing leadership arrests in 1963, the organizations have managed to prosper since then and today have extensive underground networks inside South Africa, with training camps and major leadership outside the country. PAC and the ANC the internationally recognized liberation movements for South Africa, and Southern Africa magazine reports that they have 1OO0 and 3000 guerilla fighters, respectively. are Same history The major legal resistance in the early seventies was the “black consciousness movement* that began in the middle to late sixties led by the South African Student Association and its offshoot, the Black People's Convention. Their strategy for change differed radically from that of their predecessors, ANC and PAC. Instead of a struggle for civil rights, the black condo usness movement advocated self help, and a serious change in the average black attitude to changing his or her own Ufe. The movement was boosted substantially when South African military forces were handily defeated by black Cuban and Angolan forces following a South African invasion. Comparisons to the civil rights movement in the United States, and its emphasis on consciousness raising are common. One exile, claims, however, in an interview in Africa News Journal, that, our struggle is against settler colonialism and imperialism is certainly not a civil rights struggle. We are fighting for total liberation, and noi the kind of meaningless and deceptive concessions given to American blacks.” Current above ground South African opposition of necessity centers around black groups presently legal. Just as student groups prior to the Soweto riots and wide-ranging arrests in 1977 were a center for black resistance, so black unions are a focus today of black “ . . . opposition. Legal for the moment, and possibly important in the long run is the Writer’s Association of South Africa (WASA), a black journalist’s union. The times have broadened the organization’s aims. According to WASA president Zwelakhe Sisulu, though WASA has always espoused black liberation, it also had “an elite stance which it has now abandoned in favor of full commitment to the decisive element in our struggle—the worker.” The African resistance movement has enormous potential. In 1879, it was South African Zulu people who carried out the most crushing defeat in the history of world colonialism, wiping out an entire British army to the last man. But what of the future? In the words of a WASA union member, “WASA is no longer hovering on the periphery . it's getting involved so that when the next Soweto comes, it will be really gigantic. It will not only shake the citadels of National (Party) power, it will topple them.” As armed guerillas pour into South Africa in large numbers for the test time in its history, this rhetoric seems decidedly less far fetched than it did even only . two years ago. .

Inside the rippling outrage over the hostages is a wish to ease the truth about this country’s partnership with the Shah and with it the truths about America’s habit of installing and supporting totalitarian regimes abroad as a means of blunting communist influence—Somoza, Pinochet, etc. As the principle of diplomatic immunity continues to be violated in Teheran, as world opinion continues to sympathize with American demands for release of the captives, as the Ayatollah steps up his inflammatory rhetoric, a long-simmering righteousness about our role in the Third World is confirmed and brought to the forefront with almost no critical analysis to block its path. Without the will The overwhelming perception here that Iran is Wrong in taking the hostages casts America as overwhelmingly Right and more importantly. Right with reluctance, Right without the will to show the world, Right but too concerned with others’ rights to protect its own interests. This restlessness was there before the Embassy was stormed. It brought Republicans to their feet at John Connally fundraisers across the country, it turned the ratification of the SALT treaty into a rancorous debate over our military supremacy, it pumped a minor discovery of Russian troops in Cuba into an jeyeball to eyeball confrontation where a laugh would have been more appropriate than a blink, it confused Jimmy Carter into crating the Crisis of Confidence that no one • believed.

Thursday, Dec. 6th at 8 pm in i American home each day by newspapers and especially television, that long, thin electronic finger stroking the American psyche with a carefully deceptive feel for the events in Iran. Espionage likely The crisis has been virtually torn from its context to conform with the No More Mister Nice Guy attitude. There is almost no examination of the Iranian students’ claims that the embassy is a “nest of spies.” The truth is that CIA agents did work out of the embassy, that they were assigned to gather “intelligence” that is, spy, on Iranian society. The truth is that there is every likelihood that documents proving espionage have been uncovered by the students. The truth is that Iranians have every reason to fear infiltration by American agents. Since SAVAK, the Shah’s secret police once sought out and tortured dissident Iranians with American equipment, training and backing. None of this is new. But all of it is relevant to understanding the sources of the embassy takeover. To nationalist Iranians, the American embassy is a reminder of the tyranny that the U.S. literally imposed ort their country by helping to re-install the Shah as ruler in 1953. The American press refuses to set the current crisis against its proper background and thus has allowed Americans to substitute a different context, the one that sees the Iranian crisis as just another example that our once-mighty nation has lost mastery over its own destiny because it refuses to put its foot down. Thus, the almost unanimous calls for retribution upon a nation we for years exploited for its oil, upon a people we helped scare and club into submission (weapons courtesy of the United States) upon the leaders we helped install by supporting a ruler whose collapse was inevitable. There is even the cavalier ay to “nuke ’em.” I’ve even heard it from anti-nuclear activists. It is halfserious, but which half is likely to win out when there is a nuclear war? How much righteousness is enough to push the red button? How much ignorance is needed before a nation will readily vent its inner rage on th world? -* Squire Hall Conference Theater Information on application procedures and entrance exams will be discussed Even the deepest appreciation for the history of American involvement in Iran would not lead any citizen to support the embassy takeover. The nations of the world will never be able to agree on anything unless the principle of diplomatic immunity is upheld. These issues are not in dispute anywhere but Iran. But one does not have to support the seizure of the embassy to understand the Iranians’ anger. One does not have to agree that the Shah should be returned to understand the effects of America’s support for his ruthless reign. One does not have to renounce ail claims to patriotism to understand the hypocrisy in our righteous denunciations of ‘those crazy Eye-ranians.” It is our own craziness, our own greed, our own outrageous demands that now bum like fires in the dark eyes of the Teheran mobs. It is our,own failure to grasp the effects of American foreign policy on other societies that the Iranians now clench in their fists and wave for our cameras. Whatever lost sense of morality that rushed from the flamethrowers of Vietnam to ignite a jungle we could not understand now threatens to wipe out the lessons of Southeast Asia and replace tf\em with a mindless No More Mister Nice Guy .attitude that could kill us all, though we barely understand it ourselves. Ring the bells This living room crisis is a public crisis, it is on the minds and lips of Americans in every corner of the country. The New York Times has already declared it a watershed in changing American attitudes about foreign intervention. But the change is not an informed one. It is the change that comes over a mob when it grows restless, when the passion to act sweeps through the aowd like some virus of the moment. America has been restless like this before. But never with such a gloss of justification. Jimmy Carter has urged citizens to ring their church chimes % a protest against the embassy takeover. Somewhere in the tolls of the bells will be the sound of America’s anxiety over its role in the world, carried on the ring of a freedom we hear too often only for ourselves.

But what motivated the educated people tike leng Sary and Pol Pot himself at the leadership level? One must allow for the war’s brutalization of them, too and for its increasing militarization of their politics; but in my view Pol Pot has from the outset harnessed communist ideals to a chauvinist program to build a powerful state. Marxist terminology was often used to express chauvinist goals, such as making Kampuchea “the world’s first real communist state,” one with “great strength for national defense." In July 1975, Pol Pot told his troops that the American enemy had been defeated “in record time. Never before had there been such an event in the annals of the world’s revolutionary wars,” he added. And because victory had been won so rapidly, Pol Pot pointed out, “we must build up fhe country rapidly as well.” All this involved little consideration of the cost to the people. At least by 1977-1978, virtually the entire nation was toiling well over ten or twelve hours per day seven days per week, many of them actually on piece work, without wages or leisure, and in a starvation diet, in many, many villages. BANGKOK. THAILAND—“Why was the Pol Pot regime , ’ Murder in Cambodia, explaining the senseless . w Bold strong state Pol Pot’s political program was his reaction to the old Angkor Empire’s gradual disappearance over the centuries. Pol Pot officials expressed the ideals of many middle-class Kampuchean nationalists when in 1977-78 they declared, according to refugees from several different parts of the country, that Kampuchea would not only become a strong state again but would also win back “lost territories” from Thailand and Vietnam. The program also involved the suppression of the non-Khmer national minorities. More than 200,000 local Vietnamese were expelled or killed, the ethnic Chinese population was decimated, and whole villages of Cham Muslims were put to the torch. One great irony is that in order to make the Khmer race “great ancj Why such slaughter? The answers arc rooted In both the current and the powerful," huge numbers of Khmers who were judged unfit for the warrior recent historical aspects of Kampuchean society: the destruction of the rural state had to die as well. Another irony is that to build “the first teal communist economy by the American air war, widespread soda! dislocation, and society,” the Commmunist Party of Kampuchea had to be overturned. A Pol repressive political traditions inherited both from the Kampuchean monarchy Pot document, left behind in Phnom Pehn and released by the new government at this year’s genocide trial of Pol Pot and leng Sary, lists more and Stalinist communist parties. In just seven months, from January to August 1973, the U.S. military than 250 Kampuchean communist and socialist leaders arrested for dropped a quarter of a million tons of explosives on Kampuchea alone, fifty execution between 1976 and April, 1978 alone. Officials of the post-1975 percent more than the total tonnage dropped on Japan throughout World communist government who disappeared or were arrested and killed by Pol War II.

After all of this bloodshed, the now-exiled government of Democratic economy, inevitably bringing large-scale famine for at least one or two years. The widespread bitterness resulting from the bombing was such that Kampuchea is left with six leaders: Son Sen, leng Sary, Pol Pot and Yun revolutionary soldiers who entered the city of Battambang in April, 1975, Yat, Khieu Thirtth and Khieu Ponnary. —PROSPECTIVE The Department of & LITERATURES LANGUAGES MODERN .

But the incidents over the few past days should not be contused for a racial confrontation. Their demands are based on political, financial, and educational concerns—concerns that have affected students both black and white at this University. It Is Imperative that all of their demandsare carefully Investigated before any conclusions are reached. Black students and the Black Student Union should expect to make public as much information as they know regarding their charge that tha University is not providing for us ..Without this information or explanation, it will be difficult for the University to examine and accept much of what they are asking. They should carefully note to whom each of their grievances are addressed. Student demands should be presented to the Student Senate, administrative changes to President Robert L. Ketter, and faculty improvements discussed In the Faculty Senate. Only confusion and chaos will result If Inappropriate parties agree to actions for which they cannot "... hold responsibility. But by far, the most immediate need Is for black students to clarify their demands. On the surface, some appear very legitimate. The number of black and minority University Police officers should be Increased from nine (including four women) out of approximately 75. All suspects Involved in Sunday's confrontation should be prosecuted under the lawr—if there is legal reason to do so. On the other hand, to suspend a police officer involved in the incident without pay would be a crime. First, an investigation should be conducted and a hearing with due process if necessary; then, a payless suspension—only if an officer, whom we now presume innocent, is proven guilty. Certain demands are unequivocable. All minority student organizations should be involved In the search for the new person in charge of the University’s Affirmative Action program. A committee has already been formed; five of the nine members are minorities, only one of the nine is a student and a member of a minority. We expect this panel will meet with representatives from all campus minority groups. The black students’ suggestion that the newly selected Affirmative Action leader report directly to President Ketter is something that should have taken place long ago. The Vice President of Finance and Management should not be the overseer for the University's affirmative action'efforts. The protest organizers should also prepare their cases surrounding academic concerns for the Faculty Senate. The Senate forum could serve both student and faculty concerns regarding the creation of an AfricanAmerican Students Program or minority representation on the Senate • ."it V’ Itself. But to expect, that the Student Association Minority Student Affairs Coordinator salve as the voting member on the Faculty Senate seems ludicrous. Either all students will be presented In the Faculty Senate, or none will. Not just minorities. And if there is a need for minority representation on the Senate, then the Faculty should immediately Identify some of Its own minority delegates. Lastly, the demand for “Immunity for alt demonstrators and organizations from any and all legal prosecution” should not be accepted. What should be granted is immunity for all actions taken to date such as illegal stoppage of campus buses. But a license to break the law is absurd. Although we don’t endorse Monday’s halting of the educational process, we can understand their view that it was necessary to draw attention to their cause. But now that their voice has been heard—at least initially—future disruptions of students’ right to go to class cannot be accepted. It is their responsibility to negotiate in open, public, legal forums without unjust interference with the University. The black students involved in Monday’s demonstration have taken the long-needed first step, hoping to resolve many problems they believe face -• - ./ OIS7» Tiw Nnws ee«**nw /' ' / t Cheap shot To the (sio) Editors.

In the rush to have the peak sexual experience (have you had yours today? coosCoamopolitan) to prelecting your tennis serve, to getting ahead at the office or in school, a grim sett-determination has taken over. I say pooh on morbid self-determination, let's play. Don’t confuse my play with apathy. I simply feel you should be as intense about your pleasures as you are about your role in this society. After all, you will be of no use come the revolution if you're all uptight. Last year persons came by my house asking if anyone wanted to play. Not play like adults, in bars and discos, or even in traditional winner-loser games. What they wanted was to make their own games as children do and enjoy each other without guile. I never went. I hadn’t been asked to play since I was 10, and then my mother said I couldn’t until my homework was done. Maybe it was then that I started to believe play was less important than work. But it isn’t! Some of us have gone so overboard on this selfdetermination as to have even renounced love. You see love doesn’t compute in present social causes. It is sought to change productive organizers to cooing fools, eager workers into sacks of silly sentiment. I would disagree to that, but I’m no expert. Perhaps Che is a good enough authority on the subject, however. “At the risk of seeming ridiculous," he said, "The true revolutionary is guided by feelings of love.” offer that I Che wasn't simply speaking of the ability of someone who invests him or herself for change to love an abstract concept, but to love a very real other individual. Enough said. In France, a new practice that is finding much popularity is the bed party. No, not menage a trois. Basically you invite good friends over to watch the sun rise. That’s the event. Champagne with breakfast and Sunday papers are usually Included. A few Sundays' ago, did something similar. Breakfast for two—no champagne and the sun had already rose, however. But I the spirit of the event carried through. I could have used one last Sunday. Yes, the American embassy in Libya fell. But whether I stayed in repose or not, that wasn't going to change the situations in the Middle East any. I pulled the comforter closer. The ability to take life in stride seems to run through even indefatigable leaders. Michael Korda relates a stcry he heard from his uncle, a close friend of Winston Churchill. During the war, Korda was speaking to Winston when they brought him bad news about Africa. Everyone was moping but Winston took out his gold watch, saw that it was' nearly one o’clock'and announced that he was going to 10 Downing Street. “It will all look different," he said, "after a good lunch, a cigar, and a nap. Besides, Marshall Stalin has sent us some excellent caviar by courier, and it would be a shame not to enjoy it." Students can be most indeterminate about-when to take their pleasures. They don’t work a 40 hour week, and when Friday evening comes, they don’t know if they’ve earned a rest. They are told they are full-time students, with the emphasis on fill-time—on all the time. Dare to love—deeply and at every level. Dare to play—not to win or lose but to participate fully in this unique form of group love. After all, It will make you a better revolutionary or capitalist or whatever, and the pleasures of it are as transitory as a takeover of an American embassy in Libya or any final exam. �feedback Original question To the Editor: In reference to Mr. Madujski’s letter, I can only say that my confused mind is partially the result of the corporate propaganda espoused by his letter. ’ The only fact that I see is that Pharmacists are willfully violating the Generic Drug Law and acting unprofessionally.

This issue affects everyone. As each day goes by, tempers are getting shorter, and we at International College believe it is much to discuss this problem rather that to resort to violent action. embassy takeover, many people, both Iranian and American, remain Jgnorant of the other sida's view.

The athlete plays other sports during this tune, such as raquctbai! or handball. In January, a football player, begins post-season training, gradually working up to the September season. He employs weight training, flexibility training and running in his daily workout. During the two week pre-season period, the athlete is no longer toning up—he is adding fundamental plays to the team’s preparation for the upcoming season. “I’ve seen more knee injuries in recreational sports than in intercollegiate sports,” said Kerry Kulisek, Women’s Athletics Trainer. Reilly and Kulisek both agreed that most injuries that occur in inter-collegiate sports are related to football. Reilly also maintained that the eight surgical kjiee injuries this season—three other / knee injuries were also reppned for which no surgical repair was needed—were an outstanding amount for a team the size of UB’s Bulls 'when comparing tint 66 member team to other Djvisjon III teams. —Rose Anderson , (Gordon, Stanley Diamond, lenle andMlchael Harm*/ • • magnificent legacy of intel- it,” UB Men’s Athletic Trainer Mike RieUy said. “This season, with increased length in the duration of actual game play, and more intense workouts, the kids are putting in so much, they are unable to maintain a strength maintenance program,” he remarked.

A slight, quick rotation can tear cartilage. The second occurs when an outside force is coupled with the same firm foot plant, e.g. a block or tackle. The Bulls lost two players to partial knee flexion and four players to blocks or tackles this fall. Two unusual knee injuries topped the tally of eight for the season. Fleet-footed receiver Gary Quatrani dove for the bail and was hit in midair by an opponent, tearing his knee cartilage. Another fluke knee injury occured when defensive back Kent Keating was blocked by a John Carroll player.

Famiano was runner-up in the prestigious Colgate Open this year. The Bulls’ fifth-place finish did not surprise the coach. “Based on the athletes that we took, we did well as a group,” Michael noted. “We ended fifth out of 15—that’s about what I expected if performed up to everybody par.” Although the Bulls did not finish on top, UB did feature a first—junior Tom Griffin’s initial victory. “He won his first collegiate match,” Michael pointed out. “The kid has really worked hard. Hopefully, he’ll continue to improve.” Buffalo’s Scott Slade defeated Colgate’s Jeff Edison, 11-2, to take third place in the 167-pound class. Rick Fie finished fifth in the 177 division with a 10-2 decision over Ithaca’s Ralph Salem. Tony Fiacco of Potsdam State poinned UB’s Pete SantaLucia in the 190 class, but the Buffalo grappler still managed to take sixth place. The Bulls earned 50.75 points while fifth place—Brockport State won the overall championship, accumulating 150.5 points. Miami of Ohio ended second, Cortland State third and Springfield of Massachusetts fourth Bulls dominate from opening tip-off The UB hockey team split a doubleheader over the weekend. The Bulls beat the blizzard to get to Union College—in Schenectady—Saturday night, but then lost the game, 5-4. “The game was there for, us to take,” said coach Ed Wright talking about his squad’s 4-2 lead in the final period. “You can give just about any excuse—the poor officiating, the penalities, the pre-game meal.” Wright’s.first concern is the Bulls’ inability to play what he calls “the style of hockey that we are capable of playing.” Certainly the 12 minor penalties called on UB Saturday must head the list of reasons that the icers have not performed up to par so far this year. But there are others, too, as Wright points out. “We just can’t have these defensive breakdowns,” he said “The centers get mesmerized by the puck. One time (in Saturday’s contest) we had four guys going for the puck but their guy ended up with it.” “Instead of knocking people down we’re looking for the puck—and it ends up in our net. We can have a good season but we’ll have to eliminate mental mistakes,” he added. UB had entered the final stanza holding a 4-2 edge, on the strength of a pair of goals by Dale Guynn and one each by Paul Narduzzo and Mark Werder. Guynp’s pair made it five goals in his last two DLPT.

Unrelated demand* But the group listed 10 other demands seemingly not directly related to recent occurances. Many involved increased authority for, or participation by black ahd minority students in University affairs. Administrators, according to Associate Vice President for Student Affairs Anthony F. Lorenzetti, were aware Monday morning that the protest would take place. Many maintained that most “demands” were unrelated to receht events, f University President Robert L. Ketter said he had seen the list of “itelhs” at about 1 p.m. Monday. “These,” he observed, “read like something people have been working on for longer than a weekend.” Ketter said that BSU leaders cancelled the meeting with administrators Monday because they wanted to reconsider some demands. “It is significant that they see some don’t fit into the context of what is going on,” he said. Vice President of Student Affairs Richard A. Siggelkow termed the situation “serious” because, he said, it came to involve a confrontation between blacks and'whitcs. “Now,” he said is the time to be sure we have cool heads. There is a iou more here than meets the eye.

Lorenzetti maintained that the most recent incidents triggered taany general frustrations. “Some of the issues brought up,” he said, “are very difficult to respond to. We will have to find specifics.” He voiced hope that the issues be aired and resolved. But BSU’s statement showed its belief that specifics could be drawn. “We believe that these few examples of many,” the statement reads, “arc a conscious effort by the White instutition to surpress and undermine the altruistic collective effort of Black and other minority students to educate themselves.” That sheet noted, in addition to the on-campus instances • i Western N.Y.’s Favorite For Over 30 Yearsl PIZZA Open Daily For Lunch 833-1344 BOCCE CLUB PIZZERIA, INC. 4174 Bailey Ave, Eggertsville, N.Y.

Bluebird... —continued from page X — According to Magnano, Campus Busing Director Roger McGill has announced that the University will open bids “as soon as possible.” While Vice President Doty asserted that the contract dispute is “not a major problem,” University Comptroller William Baumer revealed that an interruption in bus service is “certainly a possibility.” If a reconciliation between UB and Bluebird is to be reached, another obstacle must be overcome. The University will not permit Bluebird driver Marianne Moshides—who claimed she was hit by a bus during last year’s strike—to drive her campus route. Bluebird, however, is bound by an arbitrator’s decision to allow Moshides on campus. Doty refused comment on-any specifics of the discussions. “I’m not going to negotiate with Mr. Magnano through your newspaper,” "he declared.

The University has requested an increase of between $250,000 and $300,000 in busing funds for the 1980-1981 academic year, according to Baumer, but such requests have gone unheeded . Should an increase in money be denied by Albany, “We’ll have to dig it,out of some other piece of the University ' budget,” he noted. While academic areas would be exempt from such a transfer, Baumer said, “We would try to find it (money) with the least possible damage to | FREE involving students and University Police, budget and staff reductions of the African and Afro-American Studies Department and Cora P.

It is reportedly against the rules of public order at a University to interfere with other people attending that institution—such as preventing buses from traveling between Big expense A major part of the negotiations center on the removal pf the 60-day clause, Magnano noted. With the stipulation in the contract, Bluebird will not purchase four transit buses (the large, blue models) as the University has requested. According to Magnano, the buses cost between $95,000 and $115,000, depending on the model, and take about a year and one-half to acquire after ordering. Magnano said he cancelled his September 17, 1979 order of four, new model buses when UB negotiator Paul Bacon told him the University would not extend the contract. The new models are out of the 1980 picture, Magnano said, but some old model buses can still be bought from Canadh J Tiling ■ One double order of Chicken Wings —Garry Preneta occurred yesterday, 688-0100. «i PHOTOCOPYING Buy 1 Quarter Pounder with Cheese and Get 1 FREE! - PHOTOCOPYING PHOTOCOPYING Offer Good Only At m GET READY! are coming.

No. 43/SUNY at Buffalo/3 December 1979 distributed hN to ths University community/limit on* copy par parson by ilene Browning Spectrum Stuff Writer Pressured by pending legislation from the Student Association of the State University (SASU), Governor Hugh L. Carey recently named three State University of New York graduates to the SUNY Board of Trustees. There has never before been state alumnus on the 16 member Board. SASU is planning to introduce a bill to the State Legislature requiring that three SUNY alumni be appointed to the Board. Two of the three new appointees studied at UB. Clinical Assistant Professor of Medicine George L. Collins Jr., age 58, graduated from UB’s School of Medicine and Arnold Gardner, age 49, received his undergraduate degree here. The third new member is Judy Duken from the SUNY College at Plattsburgh. “The appointments are a great victory,” said SASU President and Student representative to the Board Sharon Ward. SASU’s legislation coaxed the first appointments of SUNY alumni in the Board’s 31-year history. - Precedent set: alumni appointed to Board 3 named to SUNY Trustees Should help The Board of Trustees is the overseeing body for the entire SUNY system. It has the responsibility of insuring the health of its colleges and universities, according-io Ward, who in September became the first student representative to gain voting rights. The Board’s basic concerns are the budget, policies and personnel—including the appointment of university presidents. '.Yard noted that the-Trustces are also looking ahead to the 1980s. “But,” she added, “the Board will often look at a situation and not address students’ needs. The alumni should help in seeing that these needs are met.” Ward explained that it is important to have alumni on the Board because they have attended SUNY campuses and are aware of their needs. As a member of UB’s University Council, Collins is already aware of needs here. He cited split campuses and unfinished buildings as major issues confronting UB, in addition to academic concerns. Conflict New York State Education laws may force Collins to resign from his position on the University Council. Fortunately the new Trustee is in accord. “I would resign anyway,” he said, “because a conflict of interest exists Collins maintained that, since the Trustees are responsible for the whole SUNY system, being a member of any one school could present a conflict. Collins has other affiliations than Roswell Park Metnorial Institute where he serves as Chief of Cardiology. He is a member of the Board bf Directors of the United Way Fund of Buffalo and of the Board of the Buffalo Sabres hockey team. Collins’ main interest as a Trustee, he indicated, will be to encourage and develop academic excellence in SUNY. Similarly, Gardner is interested in “maintaining and participating in improving a great system.” Gardner—acknowledging that each Trustee usually has a commitment to his alma mater—expressed his “special affection for UB.” Not until January An attorney in a Buffalo law firm, Gardner is also Chairman of the UnHwKy Council iwmbf George Coiling —Tom Buchanan Moving out and up to the SUNY Board ol trustees Board of the Algonquin Broadcasting Company which operates Buffalo radio station WBEN. Additionally, he was President of the Buffalo Board of Education from 1977-72. Gardner and Collins will be replacing two resigning Trustees, William Has&ett and Roger Sinnoit, while Duken will lake over for retiring Board member Manly Fleischman. The positions on the Board will not officially be filled until a meeting of the’New York State Senate in January, according to Secretary of the University Martha Downey. Collins does not foresee any problems in the final steps of his appointment. “The police have already done a security check and unless something comes up, appointments by the Governor are ordinarily confirmed by the Senate,” he said. Collins and Gardner must finish the terms of the Trustees they are replacing. A November 20 press release from the Governor’s Office stated that Collins’ term will end in 1988 and Gardner’s in 1982. Hooker Chemical caught in Long Island waters illegally by Marc Sherman Environmental Editor Add Long Island’s endangered ground water supply to New York State’s list of chemical menaces. Illegal dumping by Hooker Chemical, chemical products poured down the drain, and gasoline leakages are contaminating the Island’s exclusive water source. Hooker’s own confidential documents, obtained during a Federal investigation, alerted the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) to the company’s illegal dumping at a Syosset landfill. DEC sued Hooker in September and is currently ' negotiating a settlement. The State Health Department’s preliminary testing showed traces of vinyl chloride —a highly toxic gas. Hooker now produces the material, used in plastic manufacturing, without any disposable toxics. Hooker Chemical spokesmen have pointed out that chemical pollution emanates from myriad sources, including household sewage. But DEC scientists can distinguish conventional waste from Hooker’s toxics through a “mass spectrometer,” an expensive machine enabling detailed chemical identification. DEC lawyers may then have harder evidence to incriminate Hooker or force a higher settlement. After discovering hazards, the DEC has closed over 28 wells since 1976, including half those in the Long Island City of Glen Cove. Policemen * warned residents not to drink the wafer or use lawn sprinklers. “It capie as a complete surprise,” described Glen Gove resident, one explaining that there was no apparent difference in water quality. Glen Cove is currently buying higher-priced water from nearby sources. In an effort to stem the toxic threat, DEC has taken | “hard line” against dumping violators according to DEC attorney Joan Scherb. DEG is placing suspected violators on the firing line by conducting public hearings, suggesting lawsuits, and possibly revoking licenses, the lawyer said. Scherb hopes these tactics will “serve as a warning” to waste handlers desiring to stay in business. DEC official Donald Middleton estimated that 80 percent of Long Island’s waste dumping is illegal. Scherb acknowledged that some corporatedependent towns are reluctant to incriminate major industries, but asserted that Long Island will not “stoop to industrial pressure.” The public is becoming more aware of the dangers posed by toxic substances, she explained. The astronomical cost of obtaining upstate water is another incentive to preserve water quality. Scherb added. In addition to legal action, the Island’s DEC embarked on a massive testing program of every public well—over 900. Scherb speculated that Long Island is the only area in the country to certify well safety. Federal funds helped provide the testing and administrative activity, Scherb said.

Figueroa should be censured. •* — Congressman Jack Kemp announced the launching of a gress roots federal charter for the National Ski Patrol. Kemp said a federal charter would give the 25,000 volunteers in the system the legal basis to continue and expand their services Which include first aid for injured skiers, snow avalanche control and other emergency assistance to accident victims. Congressional approval of a charter would not entail the use of taxpayers’ dollars for the non-profit Ski Patrol System. Kemp and his family are avid ski buffs. campaign to help win congressional enactment of a A mayorial investigation uncovered grants and loans awarded to relatives of etqployees of the City’s Neighborhood Revitalization Division. One alleged offender —City Budget Director Salvator D. _PadaUno—decided to resign pending the Outcome of an investigation by federal officials and the Erie County District Attorney’s office. The charges seem to back up charges of nepotism and cronyism of which Griffin opponents have long complained. The awards apparently violate federal Block Grant regulation and terms of the City’s contract for the program. They do not, however, violate any State criminal statutes said City Corporation Attorney Joseph P. McNamera. Padalino—who lives with his mother—reported only a fraction of his income to keep household income under the $9,100 limit, a clear violation of the City’s code of ethics. Mayor Griffin is firm in his support for Padalino and announced that the City will not conduct further investigations. Figueroa was served with a formal written complaint alleging two charges of “misconduct that the respondent improperly intervened in a felony proceeding” involving his nephew. In other words, the Judge was accussed of taking it a bit easier on a defendant because he was his great uncle. One of the charges was dismissed, but Figueroa was censured on the grounds of the second charge.' The Judge has 30 days to appeal. Should he refuse an appeal the > Commission will censure him. Buffalo Mayor James Griffin and County Executive Edward J. week that a contract has been signed Rutkowski announced authorizing the expenditure of JflOO.OOO from Erie County to aid the City’s Minority Contractor Assistance Program. The program, viewed as a model across the country, was established by the City to aid minority entry into the mainstream of the construction field. This is unique because of the “hands-off” approach applied to firm allocations. Already the recipient of $450,000 in HUD money, the program will be implemented by the Local Development Corporation, chaired by Griffin. During the program’s first year, it provided assistance to 21 contractors in amounts ranging from $2000 to $50,000. For every $1 invested, Griffin explained, $14 in contracts is generated. As a result, contractors have been able to successfully bid on contracts including those for NFTA, the City of Buffalo, and Erie County and the New York State Dormitory Authority. The $100,000 grant comes at a time when -the City’s original allocation is depleted and should allow the program to continue without interruption, reported Griffin. The Mayor and Rutkowski called the program a “remarkable success.” ***************************************************A******************AAA*A • * •- • 4 .' A**A*********£ » THIS IS IT!

Floss STILL HERE: Th« metal annexes on the Main Street Campus, erected at ‘temporary’ structures between 1965 and 1967, wars only to be used until about 1975 when the Amherst Campus was to have bean completed. The student above seems battled by the structure, which loses heat easily and Is open to thefts. Norman E. Levine Staff Writer Those long, thin, tin boxes lying between the stately buildings on the Main Street campus have passed their life expectancy, according to Vice President for Facilities Planning John Neal. The boxes, called annexes, were built between 1965-1967 as “temporary” Coordinator of Visual Design/Production for Education Communications Center Richard Macakanja said, “Due to our type of services, the Foster annex where the Center is housed has some advantages in that it is easily accessible to our many University clients. The difficulties encountered are the lack of proper heating during winter months, due to the metal structure and apparent heat loss as well as the structures. concrete platform.” Spectrum neta „ * “We just don’t have anywhere else to put the people who use them,” Neal said. Although the estimated life of each building is five to seven years, he said, the temporary structures pose no dangerous situation. Neal explained that the annexes were erected to house offices and classes until the Amherst Campus was completed. In the mid 1960s the estimated completion date for the Amherst Campus was 1975. However, due to New York State’s ever present financial problems, completion of the campus has since been recurrently delayed. The annexes present a major problem with heating. It costs $5000 a year—or 33 cents per square foot—to heat each annex. According to Assistant Director of the Physical Plant David Rhoades, it costs more to heat the annexes than the regular buildings each year. The total heating bill for the annexes on Main Street for 1978 was approximately $70,000 Neal said. . v * The annexes can present an invitation to thieves. Office Manager of the Center for the Study of Aging Ruth Bellamy said, “I think our biggest problem here in Annex A is one of security. The women arc afraid to be in the building alone because of the thefts that have taken place.” Pocket books and office equipment have been stolen in broad daylight. According to the majority of secretaries and office workers in Annex A, the thefts arc by people not associated with the School —outsiders looking for easy targets. There is no forseeable date for the closing of the Main Street annexes according to Neal. Most annex workers seem to find the temporary structures bearable but there are some who feel they are just not efficient. Assistant to the Director of the Center for the Study of Aging Gary Brice said, “I think that having an office in Annex A is a financial waste because of the energy issue—heat loss in winter and useless efforts of air conditioners in summer months.” THE LAW FOR FOREIGN STUDENTS A Seminar On EVERYDAY CONCERNS Since American Studies inception in 1968, the development of a doctorate program has been a top priority. Efforts to start such a program culminated last Spring when University President Robert Kctter issued a “letter of intent”—a necessary step in obtaining SUNY approval—to Albany. The Executive Committee follows a differing of opinion between Dean of Arts and Letters George Levine and American Studies officials over the make up of the evaluation team. According to Acting Chairman of American Studies Pierre Aubery, “Past evaluations of this program have been questioned by Levine,” and the Dean had insisted on "a completely new batch of evaluators with no tics to the program.” Aubery said the tenative list of evaluators he presented to Levine last month included people who had served on previous evaluation teams. In response to Levine’s suggestion, Aubery only “changed the priority” of the names, but removed none. “Maybe the Administration is trying to test the vulnerability of the program,” Aubery theorized about the Dean’s move to exclude participants from past evaluations—all of which have praised the program. “But we have established that we are not as vulnerable as some people believe.” When contacted by The Spectrum Levine refused to comment on the evaluators, declaring, “1 will not engage in a public dispute with Dr. Aubery.” He stressed, however, that American Studies “is open to a fair and objective evaluation.” Positions unclear According to American Studies professor, and original director of the program Lawrence Chisolm, debate revolves mainly around one name in the list of evaluators, David Synder. “He was on our list all the way,” Chisolm explained, “but because Levine eliminated others in preliminary negotiations, we insisted on Snyder.” Snyder, characterized by Chisolm as a “totally establishment person,” is a professor at the University of Chicago. “We tried to go along with the Dean’s wishes,” he said, “but Snyder is such a respected scholar, we —continued on SKI — page 14— ICE SKATE The Department of Recreation, Athletics & Related Instruction announces the following credit course for the Spring Semester: SKIING RAI 120 Beginning Skiing Thursday 12:30 5 pm RAI 128 Intermediate Skiing Thursday 12:30 5 pm - • - - (Landlord Tenant, Automobiles, Insurance, Consumer Rights) - Your constitutional Rights What to do if you are arrested Immigration THURSDAY.

But the bill would do this by slashing the standard work week to 35 hours. Supporters of the bill, including the AFL-CIO, expect that employers will have to hire more workers since there’s a fixed amount of work to be done and workers won’t be working as long. “We are trying to save manufacturing jobs with this bill,” asserted Conyer’s chief staffer Neil Kottler. Kottler informed The Spectrum that the manufacturing sector has lost a lot of jobs in the past because of increased ago by the founder of the American Federation of Labor Samuel Compere. But labor hasn’t pursued this goal vigorously throughout its history. Since World War II. unions have often demanded shorter work weeks. However they always bargained this away in favor of more pay or added fringe benefits. Got to come Big labor—backed bills to shorten the work week on the national level have always died in committee. They never reached a vote in Congress. “It’s got to come,” President of the Buffalo AFL-CIO Council George A. Wessel prophesized. The Economic Unit of US News & World Report backs him up. In 1976, the magazine predicted that the average work week in 1985 automation. Bill provisions further call for the would drop to 34 hours. It abolishment of mandatory overtime attributed this dip to the increased Employment—which frequently numbers of working women, in worker appears on labor contracts —and a improvements boost in the overtime pay rate from productivity, the increased use of part-timers and the growth of time-and-a-half to double time. “We hope to cut down on the service industries.

Ketter Thursday. The Senate’s delayed action comes almost three weeks after the Presidential Evaluation Team conducted their on-site visit here. “This is not as timely as I would have liked it to be,” SA President Joel Mayersohn told the Senate prior to the vote, “but it is still something this body should do.” With those words, and no further comment by either Mayersohn or any senator, the interim legislative body voted 19-0-5 on the motion. “I was impressed that it was a fairly resounding vote of ‘no confidence’,” Mayersohn said after the relatively short and serene meeting. He added that although the Senate’s belated vote crnnot i be included in the campus evaluation report—a draft of which is expected to be completed in mid-December—the results will be forwarded to the SUNY Board of Trustees, the body ultimately responsible for deciding whether Ketter will remain in his present post. The motion of “no confidence” in Ketter was on the agenda for the Senate’s November 12 meeting, but two and one half hours into that session a roll call vote revealed that the meeting had no quorum. That meeting was held during the three-man evaluation team’s visit. Although the Senate held no debate on the motion at its Thursday meeting, the subject of Ketter’s nine-year term and his request for re-appointment had been discussed by the body earlier this semester.

Present guidelines only require proof that the event was broadly advertised (i.e. that the whole university community was made aware of it). GSA Swwte Joyo Finn Pinn win review funding guidelines In an effort to change the guidelines, GSA President Joyce Pinn will review several old proposals and bring them before the Senate. According to Pinn action will “set deadlines for when requests for funding can be submitted—two in the fall, two in the spring—so that the Senate can review a bunch of requests at the same time time and make comparisons.” Also, a calendar of GSA events will be printed. On other matters Pinn announced that pocket bus schedules, planned for the spring semestercannot be printed since the Bluebird Bus Company is currently renegotiating its contract with the University. Additionally, recognition was granted the Marine Ecology Study Organization. The group’s purpose is to keep abreast of current issues in Marine Biology and to run ecology seminars through the Biology Department. A recognition bid by the Instructional Communications and Media Study Club was tabledbecause of a possibility that it duplicates an already existing club. •The Department of Curricular Development and Instructional Media has a departmental club, and a representative from that group claimed that both clubs would be covering essentially the same ground. The stated purpose of the proposed club would be to investigate the use of videotape, audio visual and other media materials for use in the classroom.' Working under current guidelines for Special Activities funding, the Senate granted the Third World Student Assoc iation.jhe Graduate German Club and the Arab Club requests for reimbursement for events earlier held. Three other group’s requests—the Farm City Collective, the African Club and the Graduate Economics Association—require clarification on various points before they could be voted on.

STIPENDED POSITIONS Prof Available For seeks to ‘rebuild cavities Speakers Bureau Chairman and Communications Director � Pick up applications in The SA Office, 111 Talbert Hall RETURN TO SA OFFICE NO LATER THAN DECEMBER 10th. ’ End of the drill? by James Manning Spectrum Stuff Writer “It won’t hurt a bit” the dentist assures as he methodically fills a large syringe full of novacaine. And as the ominous high speed drill takes aim at a tooth, the patient silently wishes that the dentist had found another way to repair a cavity. If UB Professor of Chemistry George Nancollas’ current research is successful, such pain may eventually become obsolete. “There are already techniques of remineralizing (rebuilding) tooth enamel (the surface of teeth where tooth decay begins) but his research is ultimately aimed at coming up with a better chemical to be applied to teeth to promote the rOnineralization of enamel,” Nancollas’ co-investigator, Professor of Oral Biology William Miller said. Working under a grant from the National Institute of Dental Research, Nancollas has delved into basic research in dentistry. “What we are doing is studying the way in which enamel mineralizes,” Nancollas explained. “We’re also conducting chemical and analytical studies on the manner in which enamel can be remineralized.” Decay occurs when any one of several substances in tooth enamel is eaten away by acid residue from foods. Remineralization takes place when the damaged portions of the structure are repaired with a substitute substance. “We’re studying all of the possible enamel mineralizers,” Nancollas said. “We’re specifically working with calcium phosphate, strontium, flouride, phosphonates, and a ...

Common problem Miller explained that Nancollas’ research is basic in nature and its immediate goal is ‘‘to understand what is going on in caries dissolution (the decay of the tooth.) With this kind of information, we should be able to design a chemical process to promote remineralization.” Miller noted that the research was ‘‘very promising in understanding the process of remineralization.” but Nancollas cautioned, ‘‘that it is a complicated problem. Wondering when results will come "is like asking when there’ll be a cure for cancer, it’s impossible to say.’’ Nancollas explained his research is primarily involved with crystalization and is closely related to medical research into kindey stones, oceanography, petrQfepp engineering, and geothermal energy. He noted that in all of these areas, researchers are concerned with the formation and dissolution of crystals. "Advances in any one area could be very beneficial to the others,” he said. He recalled that a Gordon Research Conference last summer brought the researchers in all these areas together. “1 chaired a committee at the conference which dealt with this particular aspect (the problem of crystal growth) of the research,” he said. He enthusiastically added that “another conference on the same subject has just been approved for 1981.” , —careers Government jobs scarce Because of the competitive nature of the job hunting procedure and the inordinate number of individuals now presently engaged in that pursuit, many jobs that used to be attractive in the private sector are no longer considered so by many of today’s young graduates. It is due to such changing perceptions that these same young people arc turning more to governmental agencies for their job opportunities and what they hope will be their economic salvation. But attempting to work for the Federal government can be one of the most frustrating and also one of the most enduring exercises that one could engage in. “Be aware” is the caution being expressed here. But don’t let your patience be dampened or your objectives diverted. There are some students who have succeeded in spite of the trials encountered. One such person is Barbara Holloway, who thought that she would never be satisfied until she could carry the employees’ card of the U.S. Government. Barbara was more enlightened than most, having begun her job search one year prior to graduation. This is indeed an important consideration because, as is stated in the U.S. Department of Labor’s publication entitled, Working for the Federal Government out of every 100,000 people who took and passed the Professional and Administrative Examination (PACE) between July 1975 and July 1976, “only 8,000 people" were hired.” For many vacancies there are always more applicants to be considered, which explains in part why that exam is administered only once a year instead of four times, as in the past. None of this, incidently, discouraged Barbara .’Who proceeded with her search as if she were the only applicant in the market place. Her first step was to visit the Placement Office where she secured the date and application for the next PACE exam. While waiting for her test date to be scheduled, she decided to visit the local Federal Job Informatin Center to talk with the staff about other opportunities that she might qualify for. There were none, but she learned about a procedure called a “name request.” This procedure is an interesting one, but one that requires plenty of time, personal initiative, and sometimes money. In Barbara’s case all three had to be expended, but ultimately the combined physical and financial effort paid off to her satisfaction. First she wrote a number of letters to various agencies in Washington, Agencies she thought she might like |> 3 to work for. It was not long after when she began to hear from her selected agencies, was given the opportunity to set up some scheduled interviews, then finally flew to Washington to meet what she hoped would be her prospective employer. For tWo days she went from agency to agency meeting people and introducing herself; on her return home, she made a special effort to keep in touch with the agencies that she liked the most and . even informed them of her PACE score. One day she was informed by a department of Health, Education and Welfare that her name had been requested from the Office of Personnel and Management and asked if she would be interested in working for them. Naturally the answer was yes and, in a few months, she became an employee of the US Government. Obtaining the career of one’s choice often takes time, money, and effort and as Barbara was so quick to realize: an early start is absolutely essential. �\ -i" • -r- > — v-.T* iwiyy&k V ’ . ' - Ayatollah pulls Iran together with embassy takeover i Editor’s Note: Despite the popular VS conception of the Ayatollah Khomeini as a mad religious fanatic, there is reason to believe that his handling of the VS hostage situation has been intelligent, carefully calculated, and ultimately designed to resolve a disastrous situation peaceably and consolidate his own faltering power at the same time. William Beeman teaches anthropology at Brown University. He has spent seven of the past 12 years living an<f studying in all parts of Iran, returning to the US last March. He is the author of a forthcoming book entitled Meaning and Style in Iranian { , * Interaction. by William Beeman Special to the Spectrum (PNS)-While US leaders are expressing support for President Carter’s handling of the hostage crisis in Iran, few have recognized the extraordinary skill with which the Ayatollah Khomeini and the Revolutionary Council in Iran have handled the situation. The Ayatollah has been able to take a situation of potential crisis proportions and, with a scries of masterful strokes, turn it into an event which leaves his rule much stronger and more influential than it was before the crisis began. The Ayatollah faced several problems when the crisis broke. First, he needed to gain control of a situation which was not being played out under his direction. Second, he had to do so while avoiding the appearance of repudiating or discouraging his principal supporters. Third, he had to turn the event into something that would be viewed as a positive rUther'than a disaster. Khomeini chose to gain control over the group of revolutionaries occupying the embassy by slow, encroachment on their decision-making prerogatives. Starting at the beginning of the occupation, he began to make small requests of the students while congratulating them on their revolutionary action. First, he asked them not to speak of killing anyone. The students promptly complied. Second, he requested that the hostages not be blindfolded. This also was acceded to. Third, by giving crowds an implicit mandate to occupy the British embassy and then getting them to leave, he demonstrated his ability to get people to give up an occupied compound. Finally, he sent his son Ahmad into the US embassy .grounds with the students. Khomeini’s son provided the ; v essential communications link that would be necessary if the occupiers were to come under the direct control of Khomeini and the Revolutionary Council. , ' :*■ - ■ Revolutionary In the days Following, it became < CHAIN'S India dear that the way tp control the situation in the embassy was to demonstrate that every move taken was a proper revolutionary action. To show the West and the people of Iran that he was, in fact, now In control of events, a plan was needed to ensure that if the release of hostages became necessary, it could be accomplished in a way which the embassy occupiers would not wiew as capitulation. The releasing of women and blacks in the embassy, coupled with the threat to trythe rest of the hostages as spies, was a brilliantly conceived way to accomplish this aim. Although they initially resisted the plan, the occupiers were lead to feel. that they were dealing- -an important ideological blow both to those who critidzed Islam for its treatment of women and to the United States for its treatment of blacks. At the same time, by raising the possibility of trials, it seemed that the occupation would take on additional revolutionary significance. Binding the American hostages over to trial will accomplish two important goals. First, it will take the hostages out of the hands of the occupiers of the embassy and place them fully under the control of the Revolutionary Council. Second, it will make the action of handing over the prisoners by the occupiers seem to be a proper revolutionary action. Taken in this light, it can be seen that Khomeini has been steadily working toward an improvement of a difficult situation, and in fact working quite clearly toward the release of the hostages while demonstrating to Iranians that he continues to maintain a hard revolutionary line throughout. Members ■ of th4 Iranian prompted by the deliberations of the Revolutionary Council, have urged the United States to brand the Shah a criminal, or at least to agree in principle that he could be tried as a criminal as a way of ending the present crisis. Far from being a capricious action designed to humiliate the United -States, this move is undoubtedly designed to defuse the principal fear still driving the Iranian people to act against the US—the fear that the US intends to restore the Shah to power through a government, dissolve the Committee of Experts. Indeed, it may have been this action which finally convinced Khomeini to accept Bazargan’s frequently offered resignation. More important, opposition on this question came from Ayatollah Kazem Shariat-Madari, generally acknowledged as Iran’s principal religious authority after Khomeini. military plot. Although most Americans 'would find this inconceivable, the majority of Iranians still believe it to be possible, based on the 1953 restoration of the Shah through the efforts of the CIA. For Khomeini and the Revolutionary Council, maintaining internal solidarity within Iran must take the highest priority even in the present struggle with the United States. Despite the extraordinary sense of hope and optimism set loose last February with the fall ofthe Bahktiartegime, the revolution has largely been unable to achieve its goal or to establish the order necessary to move the country forward. Technical and medical personnel have left the country in droves, and difficulties with obtaining basic necessities, while not acute, are foreshadowing worse times to come. In addition, popular resentment against the repression of centrist and leftist political groups, the reimposition of press censorship, and the inability of the government to provide work for thousands of the unemployed was beginning to frighten the new regime. The fragile authority structure in the country was beginning to disintegrate. Khomeini’s successful cooptation of the US embassy seizure buys him time as he grapples with several immediate dilemmas inside Iran. The first is a continuing debate over the legal and religious justification for allowing the secular state to be headed by religious authority. Artpojnmittee of Expels assigned to review the draft of Iran’s new constitution added a provision assigning the position Of head of state to the chief acknowledged religious leader of the nation. This provision, which gives the leader Shah-like powers, was hotly contested by the members of Mehdi Bazargan’s secular government. It was reported just a few days before the takeover of the US embassy that Bazargan’s cabinet had tried unsuccessfully to .« Criminal classes Yet another source of opposition to a formal legitimization to Khomeini’s rule as a feature of the new constitution came from the leftist and middle Classes who have watched him lost popular support since summer and who have doubted openly his ability to sustain elements of all elements of Iran's diverse society. w Khomeini’s second and most serious dilemna concerns the reconstitution of the armed forces and the police- Discouraged, without leaders, and riddled with desertions and discipline problems, all areas of the armed forces are in serious disarray. Maintaining ; simple law and order was thus beginning to become an extremely serious problem. In the weeks following the fall of the Bahktiar government, aims were available everywhere. Machine guns and other weapons were finding their way across Iraqi borders and were selling in Kurdistan for under SI00. _Still, there was continual pressure from the clergy, and particularly the clergy sitting on the Revolutionary Council, not to allow the armed forces to be reorganized. The reason was simple: they were in mortal fear of a military counter-coup. Thetemedy for such a possibility ■U to develop anew army—one loyal to the Ayatollah, committed to establishing an Islamic Republic and unafraid to face the superior military forces of the West even if it means certain death. This has not been possible thus far. But with the takeover of the US embassy, it has been possible for Khomeini to revive the hope, spirit and commitment of the original revolution. And now his new army seems a lot closer to reality than it did a month ago.

These range from parties to antique auto shows. Miller dispelled the myth that the elderly will participate in any routine-breaking activity.

However, she understands and accepts that she is a great burden for her family. Like Mary, most of the residents at Hallmark cannot live with their families.

According to a 197S article in Aging, fraud and abuse flourished in the early Seventies. Government investigations throughout the seventies uncovered many instances of profiteering and abuse of professional standards in the care of the elderly. The most widely publized scandal centered around the $24 million nursing home empire built largely on Medicaid funds by a New York City Rabbi, Bernard Bergman. A State investigation found evidence of poor care, embezzled funds and controversial dealings with political figures. Investigations also uncovered widespread misuse of Medicaid allocations. Nursing home operators were found to be using the funds for vacations, car rentals, theater tickets, mink coats, yachts, paintings by Matisse and Renoir, and political contributions, according to a 1976 article in U.S. News & World Report.

Formerly a hotel with banquet facilities, the Hallmark Manor is now, according to New York State guidelines, a residence home for adults. “I like to call it a retirement home,” said owner Louis Ferreri. There are four types of facilities designed to care for the elderly: Extended Care Facilities, Skilled Nursing Homes, Intermediate Care Facilities and Residential Homes. As a Residential Home, The Hallmark Manor offers no medical or rufrsing care for its residents. Supervised by the New York State Department of Social Services, the home is not required to do so. The duties of the supervisors—licensed practical nurses—are to aid in administering of therapy. “We don’t administer any kinds of medication,” explained Ferreri. “hard line drugs are kept under lock and key, like in a hospital,” he continued. As compared to other facilities, Extended Care Facilities (ECF), offer the most medical supervision to the elderly, with hospitals augmenting th,eir operation to supply round the clock nursing. Patient stays are limited to medical necessity. For those elderly who are not well enough to stay home, there are Skill Nursing Flomes (SNH) which lack the intensive attention available at ECF’s. Intermediate Care Facilities arc what most people call a nursing home. Here, aid is given to the elderly with problems in day to day life and a watchful eye is kept on their general health. ... Can’t go home The nursing home industry continues to grow with the greying of America. It has become a last resort for many of the nation’s elderly. “They come to us when they cannot perform daily functions in their homes,” indicated Ferreri. “There comes a time when relatives say ‘I’ve had it’, we cannot keep you here any more.” U.S. News and World Report profiled over one million nursing home residents in 1975 and found the average age to be 82. 95 percent were over 65; 75 percent were women: and % percent were White. The average nursing home patient was afflicted with chronic or crippling disabilities including cardiovascular disease, fracture, senility or arthritis. The average stay was two years or longer. Dlrety bed pans . Yet, investigations not only uncovered abuse of nuraiag home residents’ funds. They also revealed abuse and neglect of the elderly themselves. Texas State Senator’ Bill Moon's nursing home was found to be in violation of that State’s health standards. According to the U.S. News article, inspectors found "dirty enemacans and bedpans on bedside tables.” Some rooms “had an extremely strong urine odor.” One patient was “given an enema and left unattended patient had expelled enema and was lying in feces,” the magazine ' . . . reported. Hallmark Manor owner Ferrcri pointed out, however, that only a smalt minority of malpracticing nursing homes have caused the rest to seem notoriously criminal in the public eye. Since the investigations, state Health Departments have received greater authority in the regulation and inspection of nursing homes. In Texas, a bill was passed tightening nursing home regulations and setting penalties for nursing homes, Photos by Garry Prenata In 1960, there were fewer than 10,000 nursing homes in the United States. In the sixties and seventies the establishments became a profitable business. In 1975, the number had increased to 23,000. Chains were opened across the nation and governmental investigations indicated that the elderly had become an easy means to an easy buck. Large corporations such as ARA Vending Service, Holiday convalescent homes and related institutions for abuse and neglect of residents. The new legislation allows inspectors to close entire institutions and in cases of health and safety violations impose fines of up to $500 per day. New York has enacted 13 laws giving the State Health Department more muscle in enforcing regulations. State officials have also appointed a Deputy Attorney General for nursing homes and instituted a 24 hour hot line for complaints. “I think we have ferreted out most of the dishonest operations,” said New York State Health Commissioner Robert P. Whalen in an interview with U.S. News A World Report in April 1978. �5 I a. I editorial X Too late The Student Senate managed to take two minutes out Thursday to do what should have been done weeks ago: vote bn its I | confidence in President Ketter’s ability to lead this University. S, | | Amidst debate over whether the UB Frisbee Team should receive recognition and funding, the Senate voted “No Confidence" in Ketter by a 19-0-5 tally. The Senate’s stance could not have been less timely had It come when we are all gone and graduated. Originally up for a vote at the Senate’s November 12 meeting—smack in the middle of the presidential evaluation team’s visit to campus—the motion concerning Ketter never made it to the floor for debate. Political haggling over the status of the new SA Constitution dragged on for so long af that meeting, that almost three hours later many impatient senators had left. The meeting was adjourned for lack of a quorum. What we now have is a vote—virtually useless—by the legislative branch of the undergraduate student government on perhaps the most important issues of the semester. This is poor representation. Student Association President Joel Mayersohn is planning to send results of the Senate’s recent action to the SUNY Board of Trustees, which holds responsibility for determining Ketter’s future here. The Trustees’ decision—we hope—will primarily be based on a responsible Evaluation report, a draft of which is slated to be completed by mid-December. The Trustees will not alter their decision because o' fhe belated Student Senate after-the-fact "No Confidence’ stance. If Mayersohn actually believes the Trustees would oust Ketter because of the Senate’s vote, after possibly receiving a favorable evaluation of the President, then he should get a firmer grip on _ reality. However, the delayed vote by the Senate is not Mayersohn’s fault. Responsibility for that action—or in this case failure to act on time—rests with all 46 senators. Throughout the year, senators have been negligent in attending meetings and irresponsible by leaving sessions early. A little foresight in this matter could have made the difference between a useless stance and a respectable student voice. - Despite the untimely nature of the vote, there is one fortunate result. The Senate’s action will be forever enshrined In the record books as yet another University entity’s criticism of the President. About time The SUNY Trustees—the ultimate body responsible for the State's public higher education schools—has Qot had one member who graduated from a State school on its Board in the last 31 years. Although we are not sure there have always been 16 members, and realizing that terms last 10 years, if every trustee served the full term, then there still would have been close to 50 different Board members. The problems facing colleges throughout the nation are rapidly increasing the competition between the private and public sector to secure funding, quality faculty and students and legislative support. With SUNY graduates soon-to-be on the Board, perhaps the Trustees will be a little more aware of the internal problems of public colleges in New York. But perhaps this is too much to ask. After all, the Trustees’ 16-member Board has only ope student member—who only obtained the right to vote last summer. The $pecti\um Vol. 30, No. 43 Monday, 3 December 1979 Editorin-Chief Daniel S.

I saw Jon over Thanksgiving break. Frustrated in his attempts to get into veterinary school, he now has hair hitting his shoulders and a wispy moustache. His large body has hardened. We sat in a crowded coffee shop near Lincoln Center full of theater types—men and women in their thirties and forties discussing psychiatry and marriage over coffee and quiche. Jon ate his hamburger In quick bites and pounded his fists on the formica table so hard I thought the quiches and coffees would fly. “We’ve got to find a way to educate the majority of the people in this country," he kept saying, “The system sucks and people don’t think for themselves. They react.” His head shook a"s his voice grew louder. “Do you know how much control corporations have over our lives? Do you know?" I nodded In pleased disbelief at his rage. This was Jon, my friend who four months ago wanted only to make a lot of money and live in suburbia for the rest of his life. Rosycheeks was radicalized. We talked about our fears of the next World War III over Iran and how redneck a lot of the students at our schools were. We talked about how we had to do something with our lives. "I have to spend the next year finding out a way I can help change the world. I will hot' believe that we are not the generation to do it. I can’t” he repeated, slumping In his seat, “I just can’t.” My half eaten hamburger, medium rare and pickle on the side, just sat there cold. The coffees and quiches were being devoured. Psychiatry and marriage exhausted. The lights of Lincoln Center reminded me that New York is always on, roaring while its inhabitants are weeping, while the rest of the world just stops. New York is great if you know who you are. If you’re searching, the city only prolongs the wait. There are Just too many things to do, places to go and ways to not think. You hunt for the nearest coffee shop or the darkest bar and try to be with someone, feed yourself and expose your soul at the same time. December. Nov.' that th,- first snow ha. ' an a. a .. it was a year ago and you were falling in love for the first time and a brick lined street seemed like a fairy tale at night or it was a year ago and your car was stuck, everyone I know is in the'state of mind to spend Friday night sitting in the dark watching a film named Despair. But back on Staten Island, my friend Jon is plotting how to change the world. His hope Is so strong feel guilty when I say "You can’t change the world, ff it Icould be done, it would have been done by the generation before. We can only try.” December keeps calling “the time is soon." Something is happening. The turn of the decade sees the children of the Seventies realize that those individual pursuits and sadnesses so symptomatic of the decade's apathetic tag were meant finally to go somewhere. We carry around the legacy of the decade before like a burden some of us shrug off and forget because the weight is too much. We are trv despair. And when Jon and I trekked uptown to the West End Bar, a Columbia University hang-out, after the coffee shop had heard enough of our plans, we heard a small crowd of students out tor their last fling before break congratulate each other for getting into med school. His head shaking, Jon downed his draft and yelled “We've got 10 teach them.’’ I thought of some friends of mine left behind in Buffalo left behind in my mind. One was*on the road to Washington, to solitude, with all belongings neatly packed and fears hidden. One was taking drugs. And one was wondering. Yes, we have to teach 1S30. A year older, we’re going fo learn. Hope is like snow. You live with it. �feedback Response Editor’s note: The following fetter is published in response to an unsigned suicide letter published Jn Friday's The Spectrum.

Mr. Ganz seems to have a few misconceptions about the generic substitution law and and the role of the pharmacist In the “prescription drug industry." The essence of Mr. Ganz' first contention Is that all drugs listed as substitutable In the “Green Book”, are S&i* certified equivalent. Drugs are placed into the Green Book arbitrarily, with no assurance that they do Indeed elicit the same therapeutic response. Furthermore, the state has taken drugs OUT of the Green Book, with no explanation as to why (e.g. Premarin and Hyderglne). One can only assume that these drugs were proven, by bloequlvalency studies, to be vastly superior to the "generic equivalent." Mr. Ganz continues, "the generic drug law Is presently producing $ millions per year in consumer savings," (sic). This Is simply not true. At the present time, approximately only 5 percent of total Rx's are filled generically, and this savings does not come out of the pharmacists and doctors pockets. Most pharmacies dispense Rx's at a set fee and cost. Therefore, if we reduce the cost of the drug, we do not decrease the pharmacists profit, in fact his percent profit is la Russian instigation To the Editor: intrigues against the Iranian Republic ... The people of Iran who are experienced in revolutionary struggles . . . “It is unthinkable that, any responsible government in today’s modern world could regard the seizure and the holding of diplomatic officials of another nation as a realistic means to advance any cause whatsoever.” This uncharacteristically penetrating observation by President Carter is only a mild indication of Americans’ rage and resentment over Iran’s act of terrorism. Everyone seems content to blame and direct their hostilities toward only Iran as the.sole initiator in the takeover of the U.S. Embassy leaving 49 Americans in gravS danger. would like to prove Russia’s instigating role in Iran’s turmoil. Russia’s provocation started before the takeover of the embassy, was present during, and is at this time feeding the fires of AntiAmerican feelings in Iran. This rebel-rousing is confusing any real chance of a peaceful settlement. Needless to say it also is casting the lives of 49 American hostages into further doubt. The following events exhibit without a doubt that Russia not only served to incite Iran's takeover of our embassy but also applauded and rationalized it: On Oct.24, two days after Shah Mohammed Reza Pahlevi was admitted to a New York hospital and 11 days before Iranian mobs seized the embassy, Radio Moscow beamed the message Ip Persian to Iran: "Collaborationbetween the Shah and the U.S. would threaten the Republic of Iran.” The warning echoed the words of Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, (who spent 4 of his 12 years of exile in • Russia). On Oct. 31, four days before the takeover, Radio Moscow's commentator Vera Bodova declared in a "Dear friends” message to Iran in Persian: "We are witnessing fresh, dangerous plots and are well able to stop the intrigues of imperialism and reaction and to defend what they gained from their revolution ... Great significance attaches to the slogan 'Death to U.S. imperialism'." Immediately after the takeover, the National Voice of Iran, broadcasting from Soviet soil, charged that the U.S. Embassy was the “center of corruption and AntiIranian conspiracies.” Added a Persian-lp»gujfge broadcast from Radio Moscow: V “The anger of the Iranian nation and its youth who ask that a stop be put to U.S. imperialist interference in the country’s affairs is totally understandable and I * , increased. In the conclusion of his letter Mr. Ganz makes a number of invalid, uninformed statements. Pharmacists do not prescribe, and, with the exception of a few unscrupulous individuals, do not “push pills" upon the public. As to the contention of Mr. Ganz that Pharmacists are not professionals, I feel that his statement is too ludicrous to respond to, and obviously the product of a very confused mind. Thank you for this opportunity to respond. Thomas J. Madujski School ot Pharmacy logical." On Nov. 24, the Soviet Union newspaper /zvesf/asingled out the United States as the enemy of Iran and justified the events in Tehran as the people's desire to free themselves from the last traces of the Shah’s rule. It also stated that the “real danger threatening Iran” was the movement of U.S. warships to the Persian Gulf. It did not make a single mention or reference to the 49 Americans being held hostage. The "real danger", conveniently not considered by the Russian newspaper is the lives of every one of our 49 fellow Americans being held hostage. Russia hides behind its transparent deception of being a member of the United Nations Security Council, which is urging Iran to free the Americans but also has ignored U.S. protest against inflammatory Soviet broadcast to Iran. Russia has clearly been a catalyst in the occupation of the American Embassy in Tehran. Americans’ wrath is rightfully aimed at Iran but should include Russia also. The O-Bomb John Fletcher Maniac in Iran To the Editor: Three cheers for our leftist colleagues in this university. There’s nothing I like more than having radical liberal propaganda shoved in my face every time read a paper on this campus. Not only do these good people enjoy cutting down our country every chance they get, but now they have the gall to support 1 a maniac in the Middle East who presides over a brainless rabble ready do his every whim. He’s a "hero" who has “rescued” his country from an oppressive regime. Yes, there's nothing like thanking one murdering maniac for rescuing your country from another so-labelled murderer. Iran would be number one on my list to take a vacation to. After all, where else can you go where 15th century living is offered. Why don't we take a poll and'see how many Iranians would like to go back there right now. It would be fine with me if all these avid followers of the maniac in Iran would get the hell out of this country if they hate it so much. All I hear is death to America—fine! Get out of here if you don’t like America. And we’ll be happy to let you live off your oil for food after we cut off an exports to your country. Let the leftist regimes and Russia feed Iran. It’s time America got tired of being spit on by the rest of the world. If we don't take a stand soon, we may fall to the hostility of other nations. Of course, the radicals in this school would like nothing better than for America to take insult after insult. Maybe these people should go live in a country they support, such as Iran, Russia, or Vietnam, then maybe they'll realize how good they have it in this country. One more thing, I don’t give a damn if you call me names and degrade my upbringing, because I know I'm an American, and proud to be one, which is a lot more that I can say for some people around here. So why don’t you leftist jerks and your buddies like Creatoza Keet and others who show only their ignorance of the real world wake up to what’s really going on or have the communists brainwashed you to the point where you can’t tell what is right and what is wrong. The more I read your tripe the more I believe you people are too far gone. I have pity on stupid people like you.

I think they’ll do well on their level.” The NCAA Division 1 Purple Eagles played on a sub-par level for the game’s first half, while UB played possibly a bit better than their level at the same time, holding Niagara’s lead to'43-37 at halftime. Sticking to Hughes’ game plan. Buffalo’s running game clicked early and the Bulls took advantage of sloppy Niagara ball handling by breaking way for a bunch of uncontested lay-ups. But Buffalo did some sloppy ball handling themselves, turning over possession a total of 34 times during the contest. “Call it first game jitters, or call it whatever you want,” Hughes shrugged. “Our two centers committed nine turnovers by halftime. Niagara really ran the fastbreak well and capitalized on tum-overs.”, Guard, Mike Phillips of Niagara, was the chief beneficiary of Buffalo’s errant passes. Twice Phillips stripped UB’s guard, Kevin McMillan, of the ball with a quick slip of his hands and turned the thefts into cores. Able to stay out of foul trouble, Phillips eventually totalled six steals for the night and finished with game scoring honors : with 19. Still, Buffalo survived in theJiigh crime neighborhood and kept battling the thieves. Rejuvenation Hughes went to his bench and picked on newcomers Larry Walton and Harry Walker for a semblance of rejuvenation at a point in the' half when the Bulls trailed by seven and appeared headed for a dreadful showing. Walker and Walton hit on five of their six attempted shots though to bring Buffalo back and at one point UB held a slim 27-26 lead when Tony Smith connected on a jumper with five minutes remaining in the half. Even as the final minute of the half ticked away, Buffalo scrambled with Smith and Freeman collecting field goals down the stretch. “We were down by six and the first thing I knew we were down by 15,” Hughes said. That was the story of the second half. For the final 20 minutes, Raskin upset Buffalo’s running game by controlling the rebounding game with a front line that averaged 6-8 height. The Purple Eagles tractor-sized Gary Jorden began crashing inside on Freeman, drawing the UB defensive forward into foul trouble. Jorden scooped down 12 rebounds and hit on three of four shots in the second half, helping Niagara’s center Don Foote control UB’s center, Nate Bouie. Basketball hoops Bouie, who should have no problems dealing with Division 111 centers constantly was drawn out of position in order to come to aid of Freeman or reserve Cordell Jones, and consequently was less forceful than he’d have liked. Bouie combined with guard Tom Parsons for high scoring on UB with 11 points, but was limited to six rebounds. He did block two shots, TALK Given ky & —David Davidson proved to bo futHo, though, «* the Bulla wars sunk 90-72. GET IT; Number 43 of the UB Butts (Irugglm to gel the ball from Niagara University players in Friday night’s match. The effort but was harassed enough by to stifle any further officials attempts. Niagara out-scored UB by 12 in the second stanza, and that alone was enough to please Hughes. “Instead of blowing us out by 30, we improved to IS,” Hughes notedFor a team on the run, Buffalo’s shooting percentage of 47.8 percent was quite respectable. Niagara shot 49.3 percent. Buffalo lost the game at the foul line, getting only six freethrows to the Purple Eagles’s 24.

As a result, the game eventually got more and more out of hand. With a few minutet left to play. Mobart captain Steve Morin went as €ar( as charging after UB’s Pete Dombrowski. The play originated when Morin swung his stick in Dombrowski’s face and then hit him in the face with his arm. Dombrowski retaliated by slashing him, receiving a two-minute penalty. Morin went unpenalized on the play. The next time both players were out on the ice, they were looking for each other. “Buzz (UB’s Keith Sawyer) got a penalty and I got the puck at the blue line and play was stopped,” Dombrowski related. “A Hobart player kept coming at me and I realized it might be number five (Morin). He started skating hard, so in self-defense 1 put my stick up. It caught him in the face and he was bleeding badly and lost some teeth.” Upon receiving the blow, Morin charged after Dombrowski. It took two of his at least teammates—doing everything short of sitting on him—to hold him off. Dombrowski -did not receive a penalty, but Morin was hit with a two-minute charging call and a 10-minute misconduct. He was escorted off the ice for an early By Elizabeth Reinish Spectrum Stuff Writer GENEVA—Dale Guynn scored on three separate breakaways to lead the Bulls’ to a 9-5 victory over Hobart College on Wednesday. Guynn tallied the BuUs’fifth goal, and finished off the scoring by blasting in US’s two scores in the third period. For the soft-spoken player, it was his first hat trick in his first year with the Bulls. His performance raised his point total to eight—with five goals and three assists—and evened the Bulls’ record at 2-2. “We had a two-on-one breakaway,” explained Guynn of his first goal, “and I was coming in on the left side. It (the puck) went right through his legs.” Apparently, Buffalo had discussed in between periods shooting the puck in off the boards. Guynn scored his second point'in just that manner—one minute into the final period. “We shot it off the boards, letting the puck get by their defenseman, and 1 had a breakaway,” Guynn described. Many of the players afterwards emphasized the fact that Hobart goalie Dave Stephens “resembled a pylon”—he hardly ever moved, never came out of the crease to cut down the angle of a shot, leaving Buffalo four corners to shoot at. Guynn took advantage of Stephens* immobility to tally his third goal. Receiving the puck in his own zone, he made an end-to-end rush on the play. He was totally unmolested on the shot, as Hobart’s defenseman went for Bulls’ right wing John Gallagher. —Mike Franco FACE TO FACE; The hockey Bulls were more successful then the besketball Bulls, dumping Hobart 9-5. Above, the ref shower because there was less than three minutes left in the game. Even though UB goalie Billy Kaminska allowed only three goals in 11 shots, Buffalo coach Ed Wright replaced Kaminska with back-up goalie Dan Kowalchuk at the start of the final period. At that point, UB had built a 7—3 edge. It was Kowalchuk’s first appearance of the season. “Danny’s gotta get some work in,” the coach explained. “We figured we had the game in hand, so we wanted to work him out.” welches carefully es the foes go efter the puck, played good smart hockey,” said co-captain Paul Narduzzo. “But we came into this game with the wrong attitude. In the first period our heads weren’t in the game, and we were hurt a little bit (foolish penalties and mental mistakes). But fortunately we came out with a 3-2 lead. We settled down a bit and “We certainly didn’t pick up things worked out for us.” Co-captain Tommy Wilde wa» where we left off at Chicago Circle (whom the Bulls beat 6-5 at the optimistic about the Bulls* Oswego State Tournament’s remaining games. “We’ve got to consolation game). We had keep a winning streak (two games ia momentum and enthusiasm —we a row).” Kowalchuk allowed only two late goals, making some acrobatic saves to stop nine shots. “1 didn’t think we were all that sharp,” said UB’s coach. “Until we get a couple more games under our belts, 1 don’t think we’ll play up to our potential.” Lucian C.Parlato Attorney at -Law - 631-8884 36 Hopkins Road Williams vide, N.Y.

According to Acting Graduate School Dean Andrew Holt, the Executive Committee of the Graduate School approved the panel of evaluators, but with some “recommendations” of which he would not elaborate. “All this talk about which evaluators were changed is like counting how many angels there are on the head of a pin,” Holt said. Acting Associate Dean Charles Petrie explained that it is "inappropriate” to discuss the list, but said there were only minor changes made. “The Executive Committee took different points of view into consideration when reviewing the names,” Petrie said, “not just the .

Accompanied at that session by SA Director of Academic Affairs Judiann Carmack and Athletic Affairs Coordinator Gary Devin, Mayersohn said the 45 minute meeting “went very well.” He explained that three aspects of Ketter’s term as President were discussed with Corbally former President of the University of Illinois: lack of communication between administrators and students, lack of academic vision at this University, and issues dealing with the quality of life at UB. According to Mayersohn, Corbally “seemed very receptive” during the meeting. He added, however, that Corbally had indicated that some of the issues raised were not the responsibility of a University President. Devin reiterated Mayersohn’s view of the session, claiming it was “not a Waste of time.” In other business, the Senate avoided voting on a resolution by Jewish Student Union (JSU) President Barry Schwartz which chastises the Organization of Arab Students for “exceeding the bounds of established SA policies.” Had it passed, it would have ordered SA to “formulate and publish guidelines which will define political activities.” Instead, the Senate voted 16-9-0 to form a 10 person committed “to investigate any problems dealing with political activities on campus” pertinent to any SA organization. This committee will report back to the Senate, which in turn will vote on any proposals. SA Director of Student Activities Barry Calder brought the Senate up-to-date concerning the Record Co-op in Squire Hall. As was previously reported in The Spectrum, President Ketter ihe Coop’s monthly sales limit 25 percent and granted advertising rights to the SA-supported organization. Calder also announced that an “elaborate security system” is in the works for Bethune Hall, the home of UB’s Art Department. SA Director of Student Affairs Dianna Derhak report her efforts to change the date Spring recess have pretty much fallen through.” She said a lot of University Department had already made plans—which could not be changed—for next semester.

Parker Edilor-in-Chief . Director of Public Affairs James R. DeSantis resigned last week and win leave this University in February 77ie Spectrum has learned. Ending his two-year stint as the University’s chief officer responsible for public relations and related dealings outside of ihc University, DeSantis said he hopes to establish his own Buffalo-based business. Although he declined to give, details, the 35-year old Director said, “I am personally excited about what’s planned and I want a new challenge.” DeSantis joined the University in 1967 as a student assistant in the then University Relations office. He has held various administrative posts and was appointed Director of Public Affairs in 1977. . * Left voluntarily "To perform in this 1 job.” said DeSantis, “you need enthusiasm, credibility and hope.” The Director—who will officially leave February 1, 1980—said that he has accomplished a great deal in his tenure here, but after awhile “you start wondering if you can keep it up." He added, “If I stayed, I wouldn’t be doing justice to faculty and students. It takes a full, honest effort.” Reasons surrounding DeSantis’ departure appear based in his personal desire to move on. The always well-dressed and well spokenadministrator no pressure from his boss. University President Robert L. said he Ketter, to leave. “1 left totally voluntarily, on my own doing,” he noted. There is both disenchantment and support for Ketter in Capen Hall, DeSantis claimed. “For me personally, it’s the right time to leave. I wanted a more adventurous opportunity and I wanted to work in a less restricted atmosphere.” / understaffed libraries, and the fight to maintain student enrollment along with quality programs, DeSantis said, “It’s a reflection- of a national trend.” Although higher education throughout the country is facing many of the problems afflicting UB, DeSantis believes that this school is quite capable of overcoming these hurdles. “If there is one thing 1 learned in 12 years,” he said, “it’s that this University has got an amazing resistance.” The largest problem throughout the school according to DeSantis is an altitudinal one. “People tend not to be positive,” he explained, noting that many have reasons to be discontent. “The problems such as dwindling resources affect all of us everyday,” he commented. Off gaard - DeSantis predicted thatKetter will remain President for the (text year or two. He said, “A new President would have an awful lot of work to do in two or three years to overcome the University’s problems.” He pointed out that the University is still battling an image in the community of a school in turmoil that guided Ketter into the presidency in 1970. “I think that impression is still very clear.” he asserted. The Office Public Affairs—which usually announces [ to announce his, DeSantis said. “1 was waiting for a response from. Dr. Kctter,” he explained. Ketter has not officially accepted DeSantis’ resignation, although the Director told his staff of his plans to leave at a meeting last week. The President could not be reached fpr comment. : But comments from the Public Affairs division ranged from “shotk” io“praise” for the Director. His assistant. Richard Baldwin—who said he - • _ might be interested in DeSantis’ position—remarked, “I was Caught off I hate to see him go. He loved this institution and everything it guard stood for.” Baldwin, who said that DeSantis has been his boss for 11 yean, But DeSantis believes that he may not be the only Gapen Hall official who will soon leave this University. “We’re at a critical juncture, changes suggested that it is damaging to the University when “someone of that will be made,” he remarked. “However, I’m not aware of other caliber” leaves. “I hate to see good people go,” he commented. Similar sehtimcnts were voiced by Director of the News Bureau John administrators who plan on leaving and none have announced it.” noted, is a reflection of administrative DeSantis Thurston. VI learned more from Jim in one year, then 1 did in five years of possible reshuffling, A “I’m certainly going tomist' the University’s malaise. Pointing to split campuses, undersupplied and college,” Thurston ... 1 Jamas DeSantis —Mark Maiusr To 0X11 University ' Radical legend returns to UB small, passive group listens ■ ~i ; • ir'.y ■ K "We're motivated by brotherhood, love aad conspiracy, We want to be a Conspiracy. JtJtB -ST] Fillmore Room, 1970 Jerry Rubin, the Berkeley journalist *ho gained fame—or ” On the same stage he dressed 10 years ago he attempted to raise the consciousness of a college audience almost half hh“age, many of whom glided into the 70s on the backs of older, • more passionate brothers and sisters. About SO students heard Rubin Wednesday in the Fillmore Room recount the 60s, observe the 70s and offer predictions about the decade ready to roll in. The 42-year-old radical legend is still against capitalist America, bureaucracy and political manipulation: still hung up on solidarity and masculinity—“macho drives”—but the presentation is different, the once clenched fist is now tucked away in his pocket. Justifying revolution, Rubin maintained that America was founded in blood. “All arguments made against revolutions today could just as accurately be made against the American Revolution,” he contended. He also defended the title, “fool,” which he says was thrown on all who were reactionary in the 60s. “‘It identifies one who tetts the truth as he or she experiences it before happens,” he said. Referring to recent polls which now show 77 percent of the American people opposed the Vietnam War, he said, “Now : T; , tell that to all the paraplegics from Vietnam." Rubin’s about-face from a somewhat de-politidzed stand of a few years ago—which opened him to accusations of “selling out”—has brought him back as a revolutionary, but with more emphasis on the psychology behind the crisis. “There is a serious masculinity crisis in America today,” foreign policy debates, he explained, Rubin said. “impotence” i* the popular word and through that term, “men threaten, scare and bribe one another.” .x Noting America’s military power Rubin warned that the country IsTout of touch with the views held by other people in the world. The United States, he said, with particular reference to the Shah of Iran, is succeeding in getting the whole world to hate us. “Just one year ago,” he recalled, “President Carter, during his visit to Iran, said it was wonderful to be with a leader so secure in a troubled world.” J'" As Rubin shifted gears into the 70s he blamed apathy on events from the previous decade. “The government,” he said, “then used the term ‘illegality’ to destroy cries of social ' - i. \ indignation.” 42-yr-old radical h«g-b—fi ,, ‘There is a serious masculinity crisis in America Inside: Poet and he knows it—P. 4 ..' •- But, stressed the activist, the 60s did not fail. “In fact they were so successful that they created the apathy of the 70s,” he said. In the 1950s, Rubin explained, people were apathetic because they believed in America, but this decade now suffers / No more ‘head shops?— P. 5 / . Activist Jsrry Rubin —CMnnii R..Floss ‘The capitalist dream doesn’t exist' the death of ith people alienated and feeling Nevertheless, the 70s has been the “Decade of Women,”hc said, and has been active in liberating men—asking them to shed false male images. The calmed revolutionary, who claimed he ate health food and jogged before anyone else dig, predicted that the 80s will transcend today’s “me’’ society. “People will turn it upside down to get ‘we’,” he maintained. “The middle class will get into the streets and there will be working class fenpent. It will be shown that the capitalist dream doesn’t exist.” The lessons of solidarity i the 60s, he said, and the triumphs of openness in the 70s will mesh into a new society.

Many industrial and municipal activities impact fertile land, yet American farms are expected to increase their role in feeding a growing world. Concrete metropolitan areas have replaced once-burgeoning lands, as the post-World War II building boom swept through bucolic landscapes. One reason for the decimation is “direct competition” between urban and far rural interests for flat, well-drained land near a water source, according to UB Geography Professor Charles Ebert. Direct land purchase is the most noticeable threat to farmland, but other urban menaces .persist. Water pollution, acid rain, vandalism and erosion from construction projects can cripple a farm beyond repair. But farmers are partially to blame for erosion, according to Ebert, noting that declining productivity is spurring more voluntary conservation, such as crop rotationr However, Ebert estimated that over 100 million acres of prime farmland are already “totally lost.” Some federal agencies inadvertently threaten farmland by financing roads, sewers and searchings for new energy sources—-resulting in sprawled checkerboard development. An unplanned growth encroaches the hinterland, taxation skyrockets, forcing farmers to sell out to high-paying developers.

Major farm states have initiated this .tax break in varying forms, such as California, New York and Iowa. In general, such programs have been successful, although a Maryland scstndal erupted when local legislators benefiting from the law were accused of fraud— not actually farming their land. Federal agencies, such as the Soil Conservation Service, also aim to protect farmland. But many urge the federal government to efcpand its role in protecting farmland. “We need a national policy,” asserted Ebert, noting that sporadic state efforts alone cannot thwart declining productivity. Ebert explained that intensified production from chemical .fertilizers and pesticides is reaching fa peak. High yields ‘‘cannot continue indefinitely” unless federal conservation measures are undertaken. The National Association of Conservation Districts is urging one step toward Federal policy, NACD spokesman Charles Boothby said. The proposed Agricultural Land Protection Act would finance state and county farm preservation programs. But Boothby noted the public’s lack of awareness in such farm issues, acknowledging that most people are concerned more with food prices, not food production. “People aren’t hungry enough to make it an issue,” Boothby said, ' �/ Rally against testing industry to coincide with tomorrow's exams •ft «. by John Upiui Spectrum Stuff Writer * -fjsgr: the tentative agenda.

Bearded, bespectacled, and so soft spoken sometimes he was difficult to hear over the lights humming in the vast Harriman basement room our evening poetry workshop tnct in weekly, he sat facing the circle of predominantly upper level English majors and grad students.

Bom in St. Louis in 1939 (“a terrible year”), schooled in a suburban public high school where he was the proverbial “serious student” and dragged as a child to the library by his Russian mother as her parents did her, Dennis has just recently published his third book of poems Signs and Wonders. And he still carries his lunch each day to his fourth floor Clemens Hall office in a black metal lunchbox, the kind a construction worker might bear. Unassuming A gift from a colleague, he proudly gazed at it perched atop his desk and said, “It comes from Doylestown, Ohio where they really make them.” Authenticity counts. Understatement too. Traits of his poetry, which has appeared in such publications as The New Yorker, The American Poetry Review and The New Republic, they are also to be found in the person. Often, Dennis’ poems have been called “quiet” or “gentle and unassuming.” These are praises. Dennis is a<poet who believes that strength s \ v' , is effective when unembelhsKecL Ije sits his desk a blue in And he is a model of at buttoned down shirt and [brown cordyToy slacks, his feet comfortably encased in suede Wallab«s.

The year of his arrival was a time that saw many other poets join the Nature of faculty—Irving Feldman, John Logan, Max Wickcrt —all of whom have After attending three colleges as an undergraduate and finally receiving a since gained national prominence and who are still here. When asked degree in English from the University of Minnesota, Dennis went to whether or not there was any competition among the faculty poets, Dennis Berkeley where he got his Masters and PhD in American Literature. “I had stressed their collegiality. “We formed a workshop for ourselves last semester and it’s helped and been very enjoyable.” strange notions of what college should be like,” he says now of his undergraduate days, “I thought it would be a platonic academy.” He soon Department still ‘good’ realized the nature of students. Hired to teach literature at UB in 1966, Dennis recalls his interest was Now on the faculty for over a decade teaching courses on the literature sparked when “someone at Berkeley told me that there were poetry of the American Renaissance, Greek and Roman literature. Modern Poetry readings every night.” The then English Department Chairman A1 Cook, and workshops, Dennis still believes the financially beleagercd English Department is “good.” And he differs with the Administration’s stance. “The philosophy of education is wrong here. The Administration is too much under the sway of enrollment figures.” With the possibility of more professors teaching composition when the General Education Plan is implemented in the Fall of 1981, Dennis fears that the Department will be in danger of turning into “a service department.” He is optimistic however that the Gen Ed Plan, which would require a certain number of English courses to be taken by each student, will also expose many students who might not major in English to discover an interest in the humanities. “The only way to prevent parochialism and provinciality is to open up young writers to great works of literature.” And why has the poet stayed in Buffalo (termed provincial when critics I.

They are the hapless victims of writing anxiety. It is an affliction suffered by countless freshman college students and one to which upperclassmen are not immune. r With the aim of rescuing those writers drowning in a sea of indecision, the Writing Place was developed by the University Learning Center. The Writing Place, located in 336 Baldy Hall, is a small, informal classroom painted red white and blue. Bob Reigstad, one of IS tutors employed by the Writing Place, noted thatthe tutors work with students on a one-to-one basis. “We try to ask the students more questions than they ask us to get them thinking for themselves.” Reigstad thinks most students suffering from writer’s anxiety or “fear of the blank page” believe what they set down on paper remains there for eternity. If uiat sounds familiar, Reigstad suggested free-writing; just beginning by writing down anything. For instance,/ he suggested, a student wjth writer’s anxiety could begin by writing—this assignment is stupid, I hate this course anything to get the pen moving. Often H is not through any fault of the student that he can’t complete a paper, Reigstad noted. The cause may be the assignment itself. The Writing Plate has kept data on assignments given by professors and found a large number of them ambiguous and confusing. '* .

Many freshmen have found it useful for their first few college papers. Students usually visit the Writing Place between one and three times, he estimated. Because writing IS such a highly individual effort, every person has to find his own pace. One of the most demoralizing feelings can come from watching someone write seemingly effortlessly..

Stating that both bills have been a long time coming, Gorski added “I think it’s hypocritical to encourage anti-drug programs while allowing inducements to be sold for drug use.” The legislation is believed.to be the brainchild of the Drug Enforcement Administration in its attempt to coordinate a nationwide effort to close down the 15,000 to 30,000 head shops across the nation. In charging that the paraphenalia business is a ‘‘parasitic industry” that is turning innocent people into drug users, DBA Spokesman Ted Swift informed The Spectrum that Prince George’s County, Maryland and the state of North Dakota are only two areas in which legislatures have drafted into law a version of its “Model Drug Paraphenalia Act”^ - . Skip roach clips According to Swift the “model act,” drafted by DEA chief Peter Bensinger along with Justice Department lawyers, was conceived as a result of requests from President Carter to crack down on the sale and promotion of drug related paraphenalia. “It’s up to State and County legislatures to examine the model law and decide" whether to disregard it or adopt it in its presfcnt or . modified form,” he said. Swift insisted that present laws are confusing in is only illegal when Tound that accompanied by a controlled substance. “The new law will make it illegal to carry a roach clip around in your pocket,” Swift predicted. Swift said that according to a survey conducted by the DEA, various versions of paraphenalia statutes exist across the country. “Some places only outlaw hypodermic needles without a Dnntjot Constantino defined paraphenalia as “any item which is adapted for usage of narcotics.” He included metal screens or tin foil fitted into tobacco pipes as an example. In light of this ongoing debate, citizens of North Buffalo have formed a coalition which aims to force several paraphenalia shops along Hertel Avenue to change their line of merchandising. “We don’t want to close down any legitimate business,” head of the committee, Fred Caputi insisted. “What we’re after is the shop that specializes in selling this paraphenalia. These places inevitably become a hangout for kids,” he stressed. “There’s nothing they can do about it,” answered Play It Again Sam’s owner Scott Flynn to information that an anti-paraphenalia bill was now afloat in the State Assembly. Flynn agreed with Paraphenalia Magazine’s editor Sid Crown that it is impossible to draft a bill that can outlaw something so vague as paraphenalia. “How can some pipes be legal and others not?” asked Flynn. Flynn insisted that he’s “never received any flack” from either police or area residents. Flynn maintained that his close proximity to Buffalo State College has dictated an older clientele and like other shop owners contacted by The Spectrum, stipulated that they restrict their sales to those over 18 years of age. 1.. Another shop owner, who?"-refused u> be indentified was as equally confident of the legality of her business. “The people who own these shops have acquired business licenses to operate them and these can’t be taken away.” Although she is sure the proposed law is doomed to failure, the shop owner admitted that its passing would spell disaster for her operation. “1 don’t think we could stay in business if something like that was passed. I’d have to open up a taco shop or sell vitamins,” she lamented. - '* — PORT IN A STORM: The Writing Place, In BaMy Hall, aides studatns suffering from writing anxiety.

One man, is harnessing an energy source found in abundance around Buffalo—the wind. Niagara College Engineering Professor William Stuart is supplying his own electrical power. Living on thf'windy west side of Grand Island, Stuarttraps wind power to lower his energy costs, perched on a forty -foot tower on his front lawn, a 193d’s model ptopeBertype Wind machine swings three seven-foot blades, “Power costs are rising and will continue to do so dramatically, and a power shortage exists because a shortage of energy sources is developing,” Stuart said. Although initial building and material costs were high, Stuart expected a low long-term operating expense. “Anyone could have a windmill because it is no mere expensive than an automobile,” he said, “yet in time it will appreciate greatly in value.” The wind machine produces direct current electricity which could dirfectly supply power for lights and televisions. Stores wind power In order to store electricity for windless days, Stuart keeps , a bank of batteries that can satisfy his home electrical needs for up to four calm days. Although he admits that Grand Island is an especially good site for wind, Stuart would still encourage others to “pursue small-scale energy sources and conservation.” 1 UB Biophysics Professor Fred Snell echoed a similar sentiment, urging individuals to “aim for small-scale energy development and conservation in order to reduce costs and pollution, and to decrease dependence on large utilities,” Snell said. UB Rachel Carson College Professor Peter Gold cautioned that “generating electricity by windmills may not apply for all homeowners.” The key point here. Gold said, is that electricity-generating home windmills may be “too costly, as well as ignoring the reliability of the present electrical system.” A backyard windmill in ' every home may be wasteful of the existing electrical grid of power wires now supplying electricity to homes and businesses, Gold explained. If the nation does move toward large-scale electricity generation through windmills. Gold speculated, the effort “should be tied in with the present electrical network.” Gold supported direct solar energy for home use, but added that tapping the sun’s rays would better serve heating needs rather than producing electricity.

Not so much for what it was, but for what it is romanticized to be. While the Treasures of Tutankhamun, the traveling show of 55 pieces culled from the nearly 5000 unearthed from the tomb of Egyptian king Tutankhamun, now in Toronto, might benefit from fallout from this soft-focus vision of the past, it does not need it. In fact, it may even suffer from it. I won't belabor the splendor of the exhibit. Suffice it to say it is sublime. The illustrations here are but the poorest cousins to the actual items. The exhibit is perfect Sunday magazine material and all the local rotogravure sections, including those in Toronto, have taken advanatage of this. The pieces are infused with the spirit of thS'era, an era of unparalleled artistic and religious freedom in, Egypt And there is the Cold Mask, the funerary mask of Tutankhamun. Reproduced and used indiscriminately, the mask has become an icon of Egypt's glory. Although overexposure would ordinarily sap the strength of an item that has become legend, the Cold-Mask more than holds its own. To see it is to know why they made you sit through all those dry social studies classes about ancient Egypt Message across time An object so widely known, you would think it would hold few surprises. However, to view it is to see something new and only faintly familiar to what you thought was the Mask. For example, while we are familiar with the frontal view of the mask, the depth of the Mask seen in the side view is surprising. Its wide shoulders -and voluminous rear made of bands of gold and lapis lazuli make sense when you find that it was directly placed over the bandaged head and shoulders of the mummy. As glorious as the Mask is, it is too simple to miss the joys that come from appraising the lesser-known items in the exhibit by beirtg oblivious to all except it. To share a message embodied in an artifact by an artist now more than 3000 years dead is to connect with something bigger thqn either you or the artist. The show provides what seems to be a reasonable cross-section of the essentials of regal life during Tu,tankhamun's rule. Along with decorative pieces, some worn by him during his short life, made of gdldfinlaid with glass or lapis lazuli and other rare minerals and gems, there were practical items as well. Writing implements of wood, gold and, ivory as well as games were among the items that accompanied Tutankhamun. After all, Tutankhamun might find an eternity on his hands without these diversions. Noticing, for example, that the Egyptians used the same three types of wood joints we use today to make the game board while not an earthshaking revelation typified the intimacy that is hard to get without viewing the actual items. While the grip of Tut fever continues unabated throughout the country, and is now especially strong in Toronto (the stores within a five-block radius of the Art Gallery of Ontario where the show is housed kre practically wall-to-wall Tut inspired).

And the gallery goes to great lengths to make sure that any visitor would be able to take the bulk of the show with him if only through reproductions. Between the official Tutankhamun shop with its wjde selection of Tutreiated publications, sculpture reproductions, cards, gifts and related items, to the Chocolate Treasures shop, which carried novelty chocolates with Egyptian motifs, one never needed to leave the show—you could simply carry it with you. the argument seems ludicrous. This distortion of Tutankhamun perhaps is due to the same chauvinism that causes some whites to think of Cod as white as well as some blacks to view Cod as being black and so on. However when the original lies so close at hand the audacity to market this fakery is reeling. Accept no imitations The entire souvenir scene seems curiously similar to that surrounding the time when Tut fever first hit its stride, when Carter was making his excavations. Thomas Moving in his book Tutahkhamun—the Untold Story speaks of the consternation with which the dean of fakers of Tutankhamun scarabs viewed his lesser competition. While the forger stated he would always lavish as least a week on making a good Tutankhamun scarab, he feared that his less diligent counterparts were giving the profession a bad name with their inferior product. But Tutankhamun is not about imitation. It is about real persons of vision who believed in their work so much so that we, 3000 years later, can know of the boy king, and as the audio guide to the exhibit says "speak his name once more and bring him true immortality." Culture corrupters While the quality of the official sculpture reproductions ranged from good to abysmally tacky, there were few items that did more than abuse Tutankhamun out of commercial gain. I speak of the curious Europeanization of Tutankhamun. A prime example is the limited china series made by Wedgewood ostensibly of the Cold Mask, Wedgewood, a company held in highest regard by china collectors, chose to market a reproduction whose thin lips, unlike the full oneswe had just seen on the original and detailess eyeballs like those like those of Creek busts made a mockery of the piece that inspired it. This willful adulteration could have been simply dismissed as economies brought on by the demands of market. However, at price of close to $1500, The exhibit will be at the Art Gallery of Ontario until the end of the year. Tickets are $3.50, but they have been sold out far in advance.

The cast of eight women and six men (all of whom were black but one) performed for two hours selected worlds of the aging but still swinging master black pianist and composer Eubte Blake. The show, which ran on wonwn ol ‘Eubte’ kicking up ttocm Th« 14 ww A salute to the ragtime of music great on Shea's stage Broadway to rave reviews and adulation, possesses a repertoire ranging from slow rhythmic blues to feverish foot-stomping frenzy. Now touring across the nation, Eubie came to town for two nights—the 23rd and 24th On the cavernous stage of Shea's, the production numbers performed by the company as a whole seemed to dilute the talent so readily apparent in the show's few solo numbers. In the first act, Chris Calloyvay (daughter Bofill at Fillmore Smooth Jazz singing Angela Bofill, a powerfully versatile jazz singer, performed an excellent concert in the Fillmore Room on Tuesday the 13th, and University Union Activities Board (UUAB) had a success on their hands Instead of using the traditional folding chair setup to fill the acoustically flawed Fillmore Room, a cafe-style arrangement was initiated. The audience occupied candle-lit tables and were able to order bar drinks from waitresses. It was a great idea for a concert such as this, providing a more intimate nite-club-like setting, and should be used more often. The best idea, however, was luring Angie Bofill to perform at UB. After a mediocre warm-up performance by the Earl Robeson Band which registered better with the audience than with me, Ms. Bofill strutted onto the stage. From the first notes that emanated from her lips, she had a firm command of the audience. Bopping about the stage, Ms. Bofill powered through a set consisting of songs from her two albums. "Angel of the Night," the title cut off her most recent disc, displayed her ability to mix jazz and funk with beautiful results. Her vocal range was exceptional, suggestive of Flora Purim. Prancing from side to side, and holding the attention of the entire audience, she sang a beautiful rendition of her previous jazz hit,"Under the Moon and Over the Sky." Ms. Bofill filled the Fillmore Room with just an hour (the only drawback) of soulful melodies, with the help of a quick and precise backup band. The setting and the entertainment added up to an enjoyable evening of jazz. UUAB hasn't had many-concerts this year, but overall, they've been high caliber, and have offered an excellent opportunity to see up-and-coming musicians for a fair price. — ROCK MUSIC Every Night at McVan’s Nile Club 2078 Niagara Street Doug Alpern of the legendary Cab Calloway) managed a sensuous version of the standard "Daddy" while perched atop an old ragtime piano. Tony Franklin's first of two solos "Low Down Blues," sizzled as he masterfully lamented the tuhe to the delight of everyone in the audience. The rotund Robert Sibert got his share of laughs with a spirited rendition of "I’m a Great Big Baby." The evening's second half included two particularly well done numbers: A wizard, a true star. . "Roll Jordan" and "If You've Never Been Vamped by a Brown Skin, You've Never Been Vamped at All." Robert Melvin was impressive with his tap dancing in "Hot Feet" and Keith Davis, though his voice sounded strained at times, did a nice job with "You Cot to Git the Gittin While the Cittin's Good." Taken as a whole, the colorful and elaborately staged revue making up Eubte provided a welcome escape and a very entertaining evening. — Sue Lyons . Todd's appeal Todd Rundgren and Utopia, King's Concert Hall, Fredonia November 10, 1979 Todd Rundgren is one of the obscure heroes of 70's rock and roll. His albums never go gold nor does his face appear on the cover of Rolling Stone. He caters to the 150,000 or so zealously dedicated fans that buy album after album he arid his groups put out, without ever going stale,' or boring. The mar>y avenues of musical journeys Todd has embarked upon are ever-changing and exciting. From the rhythm and blues based pop tunes of Runt and Something/Anything?;' to the experimental dabbling of Todd and the allout synthesizer emersions of the different Utopia phases. From the rocked-out band-member equality of Oops! Wrong company, Bearsville's desire Planet, to for commercial success as attempted on Faithful and Hermit of Mink Hollow. This past year, it was a well-rounded, interesting live compilation of his 10-year career. Through it all, Todd has remained very human, very touchable to his fans and truly sincere in his appeal for universal love and harmony. On Saturday, November 10th, in King's Concert Hall at SUNY Fredonia, Todd and Utopia performed for an inspired crowd of loving fans who demanded four encores before it was over. Leaping into "Back On the Street," hard-driving versions of "Love of the Common Man" and "Trapped" continued the rock 'n' roll pace that would last the entire two-hour show. Several songs from a new album, slated for a January first release, were played with the vigor and reminiscence of the last Utopia outing Oops! Wrong PlaneU Mo st memorable of these included a Roger Powell number "Paragram," and the aptly titled "On the Road to Utopia." Unpretentiously showing their versatility by trading off instruments, drummer John Wilcox sang lead vocals and djd a credible job on guitar while Todd took over on drums. He wasn't flashy or extraordinary, but Todd gave a sampling of how he played every single instrument on Something/Anything! and Hermit of Mink Hollow. Like the album said: A wizard, a true star. Todd is one of the few performers who can "mellow out," as he said, without getting dull A soulful rendition of "The Last Ride" was a beautiful example, witb bassist Kasim Sulton and keyboardist Powell lending perfect backup harmonies. Aggressive versions of "Black Maria" and an exasperating "Death of Rock and Roll" had the crowd on their feet and clapping along as Todd screamed his anger at the record companies' manipulation of the music industry— vultures fill the sky, I thought we was supposed ta, supposed ta be free. but we all got sold— It must be the Death of Rock and Roll The epergy never let up as Utopia ended their set with "Couldn't I Just Tell You" and an exhilarating "Love In Action." The first encore summed up Utopia's intention for a very rocked-out evening of music. And one couldn't help but feel a sense of the New Wave's return to the basics, as they delivered a short and frenzied version of the Who classic, "Anyway, Anyhow, Anywhere." It seemed typical for the nature of the show. Gone are the impudent and ostentatious pyramids, sphinxes, and glass guitars that were so flagrant in the past couple of tours. The stage simply consisted of the musicians and a minimal amount of equipment. This regression, as it could be considered, is further supported by Todd's last album, "Back To The Bars," and possibly signifies his reason of choosing the intimate atmosphere of a small college's Kleinhans-type hall. The final encore of an emotionally provoking "Love Is The Answer," emphatically retained Todd's vehement concern for an idealistic society that is constantly recurrent through his moods A lamenting cliche? Maybe, I thought, as he cheerfully rambled along the front of the stage, shaking hands in.rapport and sharing his dream. Some of us believe though. —Tony Crajeda . .. �Barbara Casey and fcdith Wharton'* The House of Mirth starring Oscar and Tony award-winner lane Alexander BBC productions to be aired include the classic favorite Les Miserables by Victor Hugo the series this month presents The Tenant of Wildfell Hall first published by Ann Bronte in 1848 Julie Harris, the host and enthusiastic supporter of the entire series, strongly feels that "so much literature is meant to be listened td."

Although such a ploy has been successful in the past for Edwards (involved with five Pink Panther movies), Moore's predictable, Clouseauian antics ruin the movie. -10 as tease The most outstanding example occurs early in the film when Moore follows Derek to the wedding. He watches the ceremony, but is distracted when a bee lands on his nose. This scene cuts immediately to a closeup of the bride and groom, but guess what happens next? That's right. The bee stings Moore, and his profane cries disrupt the ceremony. Also consider the climactic point of the movie. Moore has the opportunity to make love to Deiek. This scene should be a triumphant one, —Bernstein showing an excited man who has conquered unbeatable odds. Yet what does it turn into? It becomes a hopelessly poor parody of the final scene in The Return of the v Pink Panther, as Moore struggles desparately to take his clothes off. Such unimaginative actions suggest funny, as is the cameo involving Moore, a jninister, and Moore's servant Mrs. Kissel (Nedra Volz). But these laziness on Edwards' part. Thus, this movie becomes a hit-and-miss, irrelevant tease. The conversations between Moore and his homosexual A new pink panther? Like Charlie's Angels, 70 is nothing more than senseless sexploitation with a simple, undrawn plot. Unlike Charlie's Angeles, however, 70 is a movie, which means Bo Derek is given the liberty to act au nature!. This movie will be a box office hit because of Ms. Derek's appeal, but also a major critical failure when one considers all the talent waited. Dudley Moore, as evident by Foul Play and various talk shows, is a zany and versatile comic. 70 could have given him an opportunity to truly shine, but his part simply wasn't well written. By looking at the plot, it is obvious that Blake Edwards is thinking about a new Pink Panther movie. Mrs. Blake Edwards (i.e.. Julie Andrews), is miscast and underused as Moore's girlfriend. It is hard to imagine that the star of Mary Poppins and The Sound of Music would participate in a movie like this. My mother must be right; they don't make movies like they used lyricist (Robert Webber) are scenes cannot compensate for Edwards' insistence to push slapstick.

Tests are frequently required, but their meaning misleading. This is one of the underlying questions being glossed over In the current Truth-in-Testing controversy. Behind the Truth-in-Testing law’s necessity lurks the yet-tobe answered question: How accurate are standardized tests? The importance of standized tests in admissions practices is a reflection of the overtesting that occurs throughout all levels of society. No longer do students learn from tests, they only learn how to take them. Tests have become a teacher’s threat rather than a learning tool. Exams are frequently mandated to ensure that students are doing their work, rather than to stimulate critical thought and encourage analytical reasoning. The new testing law, attempting to determine the validity of questions appearing on standardized exams, is a step in the right direction. But It is only a small step In society’s longer walk to determine the need for, and validity of, the tests themselves. Thousands of students have taken high school Regents along with aptitude, achievement, and professional exams. Until now, only the testers knew the answers. Scores were calculated by secretive formulas that only had meaning for the‘testers and college admissions officers. But the test-takers, the consumers—who have little choice but to pay for their necessary exams—received a product without any guarantee. They could not ensure that their score was accurate, that someone hadn’t screwed up and accidently gouged 200 points from their SAT total. There were no checks and balances. Now the new law at least will mandate that procedural checks are implemented. Grading mistakes conceivably can be caught and rectified. Computer foul-ups and/or miscalculations may be nabbed. But the most serious danger in the new law is that public disclosure of previously clandestine exams might suffice as proof of the validity of these tests. NYRIRG’s Kim Wilson rightly points out that the tests may be culturally biased—in essence discriminatory, and the coaching courses may prove helpful to test-takers. Therefore, those with.the money to pay for a coaching class can improve their score. If a student can study for an aptitude test and as a result improve his score, then how can the exam truly be one gauging aptitude? Ironically, the tester’s threat to withdraw their exams from the State may prove the best thing for New York students. In the short term, students will be burdened with possibly boosted exam fees as a result of the testers’ blackmail. They may be forced to go beyond the State’s boundaries so they can fulfill requirements for professional school entrance. But in the long run, if testers flee the State, then perhaps educators will realize that standardized tests might not serve any significant purpose, or be necessary at all. There are many better, more accurate, and more intelligent ways to judge a person’s capabilities than by offering an unproven exam and establishing its credibility by making the answers public. It is time that the real questions about standardized tests be examined.

Basil Today a wonderful family of speckled pills, which overflowed the creases of a cupped hand in his morning sobriety before he swallowed them all at once, are reacting well together. Some prescription head twisters and face flushers are kissing their street cousins—pupil dwindlers and lung stretchers—in his burning and abused stomach. He bought a comb yesterday because he was inspired through the nights of an otherwise fractured Thanksgiving vacation by a face in a morning class. But standing there now, his alternately vacant and misfiring cerebrum neurons are beginning to hone in on this severe realization: he's sure she knows he’s a drug addict. Her chocolate eyelash piumes are batting and her fine full Eastern European lips are bunching in anxiety and dissatisfaction. She might be thinking that were his hair shorter, his speech clearer, his ideas coherent, his eyes less glazed, he might have a chance. Winters’ll never be so cold, in Buffalo even, to ever think of going for this beat figure of human paralysis, she’s contemplating for sure. Most addicts are mere cliches today. Drugs have meant two things to them in the past: cheap thrills and the sometimes systematic expansion of the mind. The mass of greasy bearded Daniel S. Parker Managing Editor i The Spectrum would like to apologize to Dean of the Colleges Murray Schwartz for printing a personal letter he sent to one of the editors in muttering burnouts have given hippies a bad name. The venom of acid and the mania of speed will eventually destroy anybody when they’re taken to thrill a bored mind. But he’s never known a conscientious and philosophically curious druggie to lose more , than a point or two from his I.Q., He giggles something painful. First, he remembers of course, It’s the Woman, that’s nothing really to admit. Then, number two, it’s the drugs. Completing this affectionate trinity, thinking about all these things interlocking with each other at once, is the road. Still looking at her as she backs away a bit, her attention daring In the direction of the Main Street Library, the addict thinks It funny, only for a moment though, that a beautiful face would make him think of long distance hitching—the beautiful women never pick you up on the road. It’s because he knows what keeps him and his breathren moving. Their quest into the wildly flouresclng world of synthesized chemicals—the pain these psychedelic experiences afford as they keep their thumbs pointing—makes them understand and appreciate virginity. But the more decadent addicts become, not only do they adore sweet naivete more, but they begin to lose any chance of mingling with it. And at one time the roads of America were so rich. Anything worth having could be swallowed there. In the fifties, the beat life, inspired by Jack Kerouac and his poetic gang, was a life of surveying America by taking its drugs, drinking its liguor, loving its wanton women. But as the beats grow older, some dying, some teaching in colleges they cursed in their youth, their Art grows less coherent, less fruitful, less radical; the addict, a sometime Buddhist himself, figures that a kind ofZen serenity has moved beat world poetry just a little too f,ar from the mainstream of America’s veins. And those veins, those big and grey and wonderful roads numbered up to a thousand going all the hell over this sick country, just aren't the same since the years when Kerouac just quit Columbua, In the fifties the road symbolized the explosion of freedom and this country's plush possibilities. But today, the veritable highway icon—the speed limit sign— serves well to indicate-the restriction and frustration of this age. A different kind of driver paces these ribbons now. A teeth grinding rather than hip slapping energy is the law of the road. These toppled aspirations make abundant sense, he thinks, since it' takes twice as long to haul your car from Omaha to Des Moines. He shrugs, the “road” doesn't even look that good today. Besides, it’s cold and windy and about to be rainy. Ribbons in her hair are flapping. Jesus Christ. That high of his is beginning to wane and he’s sure his stomach is bleeding. On this sordid and spaced out morning the road and drugs are out of it and there’s just one thing left. �faarihnrU fwvUuQCK Drug disbursement To the Editor: In the past few months, there have been several anti “Generic Drug Law" letters to the Editor In various college Journals. This Is not unusual as we have an abundance of future pharmacists being Indoctrinated to the Prescription drug industry’s "take the money and run" attitude. Taking an alternative attitude to S.C. Sutton, RPh, I believe that the Generic Drug law is the basis for much consumer savings. There are several misstatements In that letter. First of all, the statement that a substitution in general would lead to a "worsening of your original condition" does not reflect the evidence of even a conservative medical establishment. Generic Drugs, may not have pretty containers, but they are certified by the Food and Drug Administration and are contained in the “Green book” of the NYS Department of Health. Sutton has obviously been duped by ... 'VEIL,CERTAINLY TER SHAH CAN Terrorism in HES PROBABLY DERONIY PERSON IN ~ our name To the Editor: Our College, which griw out of student opposition to American military involvement in Vietnam In the 1960’s, stands opposed to violence and killing, including the threat to kill innocent people to gain some political advantage. Therefore, we oppose the taking of Americans from our Embassy in Tehran as hostages to force the return of the Shah. Release these hostages immediately! Perhaps, as / we sit watching the television bring into our living rooms the tears and the anguish of the mothers, fathers, husbands, wives and children of these hostages, as we come to accept their anguish as our own, we might find it in our hearts to extend this sympathy further, beyond our nation's boundaries to all victims of terrorism? What do we mean by terrorism? We offer this definition of terrorism: the willingness to use the lives of innocent, uninvolved people to gain a political advantage. This certainly is the case in Tehran today. But was this not also the case when the Shah used torture and death to silence all oppositlon-to his regime for so many years? Were not the victims of his secret police, the victims of terrorism? And if it was so that our television did not bring the anguish and the fears of the families of these victims of terrorism into our living rooms, was their anguish the less real? Some militarists today say that giving into terrorism in Tehran will only encourage other terrorists to capture other Embassies and take other Americans as hostages. Perhaps so. But the argument looks quite different when you take into account the past. Since the Shah was backed up by a succession of Administrations in Washington, from Eisenhower to Carter, and since our governments supported the Shah in maintaining his regime, funding his secret police, training them even in methods of torture, backing him even when it was clear last year that his regime was over and that the Iranian people were united In getting rid of him providing him with asylum against trial (or his crimes against his own people, does not United States government stand behind the terrorism carried out by the Shah then, just as Khomeini stands behind the students who hold hostages. Doesn’t our government bear a great deal of responsibility for the murders and imprisoments of innocent Iranians whose only crime was wanting democracy? And, (f we are a democracy, and our government is responsible to us, then are we not, as a people, responsible for the terrorism against the Iranian people? From the Iranian people's point of view, they gave into the Shah's terrorism, and got more of the same. We argue that the United States government has been cooperating for many years with murder, torture and terrorism of the political opponents of "friendly” regimes: South Korea, South Vietnam, The Phllllpines, Indonesia, Chile, Brazil, South Africa, Portugal, Spain, Guatemala, Nicaragua, as well as Iran. These regimes have, and continue to, use whatever means technology—our technology—can devise to subjugate their peoples. If we are a democracy, we are then responsible for the acts of our government. Yes, end terrorism, by all means end these crimes against humanity; but let us end all terrorism, even the subtle kind, done in our name, with our Government's support, paid for by our taxes, where the victim’s tears are hidden from our view by broadcasts showing the Shah handing out pennies to the poor. As we bear the responsibility for terrorism committed in our name, then we are establishing as our inheritance a world in which American is hated mercilessly for its acts. Is this the Inheritance we owe / Prescription drug company propaganda. The Generic Drug law is presently producing $ millions per year in consumer savings. Unfortunately for prescription drug companies and pharmacists, much of the money came from their profits. Perhaps this is the reason for their opposition to this progressive legislation. Sutton claims to more qualified to disburse proper quantities of pills and other medications than a physician. This is an extension of pharmacist propaganda that they are the elite “Professionals." Yet few. Including Sutton, bring out that hundreds of thousands of persons were killed last year by the overpresclption of drugs by doctors and pharmacists. The pill pushers continue to oversell their profitable products, killing many unsuspecting customers. Future writers attacking "Generic" drugs should switch their attack to a corrupt, murderous, prescription drug industry that has crippled our health care system. But, then maybe the pharmacists and medical doctors want their profits and won't look for a solution to the prescription drug crisis. / Marc Gem our children? Staff Members of Tolstoy College Howie Epstein Charles Haynie Mark Pettilt REFINING THE IL WINDFALL PROFITS TAX Through diplomacy To the Editor: The American people should tell President Carter to exercise restraint with regard to the Iranian crisis. The President should be told to resist the jingoistic blandishments of those urging armed intervention. Reason and diplomacy should prevail over our national anger, hurt pride and desire for revenge. International peace is indivisible. Any disruption of that peace can easily lead to another world conflagration. The United States is the leader of the Free Wo'rld. Far too often we have relinquished the deportment and adherence to principle which this leadership role entails. That is part of the reason why countries such as Iran have learned to view the U.S. with such dire expectations. The United States must set an example to the whole world, whether communist or non-communist. At present, the U.S. has not been exhibiting the maturity which this role of world leader requires. This, in a larger sense, is the ultimate cause of our problems around the world; Unfortunately, our ideals and deeds have not always coincided. Our customary pursuit of realpolitlk has invariably served to weaken the credulity of International law as a manifestation of the appeal to reason and good neighborliness. i,. ; The UN Charter does not provide President Carter with the authority to intervene In the internal affairs of Iran. The section of the Charter which Mr. Carter affirms does not vindicate his appeal to-- direct intervention by an appeal to force. Rather, this portion of the Charter which Mr. Carter affirms states the following; that - any member nation may repel an internal invasion before the Security Council has directly pronounced its decision on the situation. At present, the United States has not suffered an internal invasion. Our territorial integrity has not been -abrogated. Mr. Carter's sword raddling is, therefore, unwarranted. Rather, our claim to the right of sovereignty as manifested in diplomatic missions has been violated. This violation is a basic contravention of international law. The principle of diplomatic immunity, itself derived from the principle of diplomatic immunity, itself derived from the principle of sovereign equality, has been contravened by the current Iranian Government. This Is an inadmissible act. It should not, however, be countered by still another inadmissible act by the United States. It will do the U.S. no good to descend to (he level of barbarians. The U.S. is, therefore, obliged under international law to adjudicate the-issue through the UN’s Security Council. That the council machinery has not always worked well is partially attributable to the foreign policy pursued by the U.S. This is a difficult situation. Our national pride and sense of honor have been offended. A weak president would appeal to armed intervention as President Carter has done. A strong President would rise above the momentary passions which the situation has engendered, and conduct the U.S. Government in a hlghmindod and statesmanlike manner. Such a president would not only educate the American people on this issue; he would appeal through his words and action for reason to prevail in the midst of this unprecedented crisis. Not only are American lives at stake: not only are our resolve and maturity on the line; our claim to world leadership and pacific intentions is also being internationally scrutinized. President Carter should pursue every possible legal channel which might prove efficacious. He should not do anything which would reinforce the notion of the U.S. as the'world’s leading warmonger; for this would replace the disease with a cure worse than the disease itself. No simplistic solutions are here applicable. We must endure, and hopefully triumph through mature diplomacy.

Add 1476 heaping teaspoons of sweat. Take the bodies soaked in sweat and tic the limbs in square knots. Place the mass into an oven (gym) at 400 degrees, turning every three minutes. The recipe for a giant soggy pretzel you might think? No, a wrestling match. The UB wrestling season-is in full swing and coach Ed Michael is faced with the prospect of rebuilding. The Bulls will have to rely on the development of key freshmen recruits and continued improvement from last year’s starters. “We have a young team with talented freshmen. We have the capability for a winning season if the freshmen progress,” the coach observed. The Buffalo team was hit hard by the graduation of several outstanding wrestlers last year! Paul Curka, a standout in the heavyweight class a year ago, has stayed on after graduation to help the team. The Bulls plso were devastated by the news that Scott Stever, assistant coachfor 10 years, will not be aiding the team this year. Stever has moved on to an insurance career. The picture is not all bleak, though. Michael has resorted to some shrewd recruiting to bolster the holes left by graduation. Highly touted Tom Genko was lured away from Niagara Community College, and from Simpson College the Bulls obtained Peter Santa Lucia. sold them on the institution and the program,” Michael commented, Tom Jacoutot, an all-American and Buffalo co- captain returns this season to give the team strength in the 118 pound class. He will be joined by Tony Butcra, the other co-captain, Jim Qriffin, and Tom Egan, Injuries have also cropped Into the UB picture. Genko and Mark King have yet to face match competition because of crippling wounds. Genko damaged a knee in an elimination match while King aggravated a shoulder. “The injuries hurt us because we are rebuilding,” noted Michael. Buffalo has already, faced two leigue tests and a tournament and as a team did not fiiir well. UB lost Its opening match to Youngstown State (Ohio) November 14 and came up g1os<kagain' at the University of Guelph (Ontario);*!* days late*, “I’m pleased vrlth the overall performance of the team. Some players did not play yp to their capabilities, but most did,” the coach- reflected, Although confronted with so much adversity this early in the season, Michael has remained unswerving in his optimism. “I’m looking forward to three or four All-Americans. We’ll improve as the season goes on because we are such a young team,” he predicted, If the coach is not right UB could have a lot of burnt pretzels on its hands. If he is right, it could mean at least a baker’s dozen in the win column. —Tony Petti «. , 2 : • ' a? ’ ■; Saturday • its irc’S : 18th BIRTHDAY PARTY : j One FREE Beer to all IRC Fee-payers BEER FLOWS 8:30 • — j’’ A # MUSIC 9:00 - It was as if the Royals basketball team had open their bid high school yearbooks and turned back to 4hose incredibly messy contests against young, untalented opposition. This time, however, it was the Royals who wore the alumni shirts. Buffalo conquered D’Youvillc College, 66-15, in a scrimmage Tuesday at Clark Hall, The visitors provided the reminiscing for UB as the nursing school’s skills reminded the Royals of a mediocre high school team. The scrimmage gave coach Linda O’Donnell a clue as to how her team will fare in its season opener tpmorrpw (Clark Hall, 2 p.m.) against Oswegb State. UB freshman Maureen Klein tapped in two of her 16 points to start the game. Starting positions were held by leading rebounder and scorer Janet Lilley, second year stars Mary Hickey and Robin Dulmage and rookies JeSn Quinlivan (co-captain Maureen Quinlivan’s sister) and Klein. ■The Royals dominated throughout, forcing D’Youville to call several' time-outs. Less than two minutes after the opening tip-off, D’Youville’s struggling five took to the bench, as UB collected its already collected Buffalo suffered unnecessary turnovers as the offense struggled toward the basket. “There was a lot of sloppy playing,” reported Coach O’Donnell referring to the unevenly matched'!earns. However, the Royals’ powerful defensive skills took control as the younger Quinlivan and Klein aided UB’s bulging lead) The Royals have replaced a strong star with a more powerful player in this year’s roster. UB lost the light-skinned, blond haired Soyka Dobush last year—as she transferred out of Buffalo—and in her place has arrived promising tanned, dark-haired Gina Collura. Late in the first half, the fans saw the resemblance between the two stars, as Collura moved in under the boards —aggressively pulling down 10 boards. With six-foot Lilley alongside this young star, UB can be expected to take a commanding offensive lead in its division. As D’Youville encountered foul trouble late in the contest, the Royals were giveir continuous free throw attempts. Dulmage collected five of her 11 points behind the foul line. No more than two personal fouls were called on any Royal, as the hosts played aggressively but cleanly. Buffalo entered the second half executing a 2-3 zone defense. O’Donnell’s strategy was well thought out as D’Youville scored a mere six points. Pressing was not necessary in the match-up, according to O Donnell, who sat attentively thinking little about this almost comical scrimmage Snd more about tomorrow’s opener with Oswego. Lisa Keating, Maureen Quinlivan, Andrea Rosenhaft, Jane Trabert and Gabi Gray acquired court experience for the season opener. Keating, Quinlivan and Rosenhaft have returned from last year’s squad with needed, The scoring in Tuesday’s clean sweep was handled by Lillcy, who with little court time collected 12 points, and freshman Trabert, who chipped in with 12 points.

The Bulls hustled ahead to a one-point lead and Raskin began his personal eulogy as he approached a fate worse than death—losing to UB. Rasking was spared. The Purple Eagles roared back with an offensive explosion and easily conquered Buffalo by 30 points. With a cynical grin smeared across his face, the cocky Raskin held post-game interviews outside the locker room, praising the Niagara comeback and ridiculing Buffalo. “If we had lost to Buffalo, 1 would have had to go to Canada just to get a sandwich.” The coach of an NCAA Division I team struggling through a six-win season had spoken. His words stick in the minds of this year’s UB team —the revamped squad that its first test undergoes tonight—-when it tips off against the Niagara Purple Eagles (Niagara University Student Center, 8 p.m.). It has been almost IS years since UB last rode to victory over Niagara, and this year, Buffalo coach Bill Hughes is not toting a roast beef on rye into the Niagara dressing room before the game. What Hughes will be stepping into the court with is a 1979-80 team that is two-thirds new and projects to run the ball at every opportunity. Slow offense The 7-18 Bulls of a year ago walked the ball up, methodically setting up in the comers until at the right moment a hole opened up ip the lane permitting a player to pop one from in close. More often than not, the shot failed and UB was left waiting for another chance to shoot. The Bulls, Hughes said, are ready to “pull off a few upsets.” "Odds are not in our favor at Niagara,” Hughes said, “But, I’ve had many teams win when the odds were not in our favor. We’ve got new people who are playing their first game for UB,” Hughes continued. “It’s their first game too and if we put the pressure on them early, who knows?,” Hughes conceded. The pressure will come from the Bulls’ nucleus of seven players: returnees Nate Bouie, Tony Smith, Mike Freeman and Kevin McMillan and newcomers Bob Parsons, Cordell Jackson, Larry Walton and Harold Miller. All four are junior college transfers. Bouie, the 6-6 center, had what Hughes termed “a good year—not a great year” a season ago. Buffalo’s leading rebounder and number two scorer, Bouie is fond of challenging the opposing center for 40 minutes with- an exciting display of floor-shaking stuffs and elbowswinging rebounds. “Bouie’s been playing better in pre-season than he did last year,” Hugiessaid. “As a senior, it’s his last hurrah.” Maryland natives Smith and Freeman arrived at UB after two seasons of junior college experience in their home state. ; Steady shooter Smith glided through last year as UB’s top scorer at 11.0 points per game—and holds down his forward spot with a consistent style of play. Smith won’t stir a crowd with his soft jump shot the way a 25-foot bomb will, but when the Bulls are down to the stretch in a close game, the 6-3 senior is a likely candidate for possession of the ball. Fellow forward Freeman operated last year primarily as the sixth man. He won a starting berth toward the end of the season and performed admirably, especially on defense. Against Niagara, Freeman will toil with the Purple Eagles’ big man—6-6,230-pound Gary Jordcn. Freeman held the 20-point scorer in check last year, partially accounting for UB’s success in that game’s first half. —Luis Padilla LONG SHOT: Tho UB Bull* in Mitering the 1979-80 HMon with 1 Giving Buffalo depth at the forward spot will be Jackson and Walker. Hughes didn’t limit his recruiting from Maryland to Smith and Freeman; instead, he hopped right back and hooked Jackson, too. Jackson’s a power forward. “He doesn’t have much of an outside shot, but he’s a good allaround player. Right now, he probably is the first big man off the bench,’’ Hughes said. Walker is also from the “The turning point of the game was when Sam Pellom came in,” Hawks coach Hubie Brown told United Press International. “We were able to play (Tom) McMillen at forward and give (John) Drew a rest.” Drew scored 40 points to lead the Hawks.

Jones’ role will likely be that of spelling Bouie or Freeman for short breaks. Point-guard Kevin McMillan will be joined in the backcourt by yet another Maryland transfer, junior Tom Parsons. McMillan played extensively toward the end of la* season and should be able to control the ball adequately. Number two guard Parsons packs a weapon that last season’s team sorely lacked—the outside shot. Parsons isn’t the ball handler that McMillan or transfer Larry Walton is. but with a potential running game, he can be counted on for long-bomb offense that will break open any defensive zone.

Nuclear reactors have been staple campus tools ever since 1949, when one of the first reactors was built beneath the University of Chicago’s Stagg Stadium. But it took last spring’s incident to get significant numbers of students to question the safety of college research nuclear reactors amt reactor waste for the first time. Consequently allegations of problems and accidents have cropped up at campuses from coast to coast. The loudest protest has come from UCLA, where a studentfaculty Committee To Bridge The Gap has charged that a small fission reactor on campus is spewing SO times the amount of radioactive waste allowed by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC). “We think there is a reasonable doubt for the safety of the people on this campus,” explains Dan Hirsch of the committee. The university has been minimizing the possible danger in the reactor waste, which is released upwind from a nearby classroom building that, according to Hirsh, sucks in the waste through the air conditioning system. “There is a lot of lying going on,” grouses Bill Toman, a graduate student who works with the reactor. He notes his reactor is neither the only nor the largest on one campus. If protestor? “were really concerned, they should have gone to the (UCLA) Medical Center. Jhe equipment there represents by far the biggest health hazard on campus.” nonchalant in response, even when there are real incidents. For example, about 60 students, faculty and staff members were hurriedly evaculated from the Algal Physiology building at the University of Maryland Oct. 12 when a pipe burst in an area where tritium, a radioactive isotope used in the building for plant - “We see no health and safety threat to the students at that facility,” reassures Frank Wenslawski, an inspector with the NRC’s San Francisco office. “There is no longrange hazard, or even an immediate danger." Yet, as has become typical in the nuclear “incidents” that have been reported almost weekly by the student press this fall, there is room left for debate and fear. Protestors accuse college administrators of treating either the incidents or the potential problems posed by campus reactors too lightly. The UCLA reactor, for one, docs emit more radioactive argon 41 than the NRC normally allows, and the NRC did cite the university for a violation “four or five years ago,” according to Wenslawski. But UCLA conducted a two-year study, determined the amount of argon 41 it.emitted was safe, and convinced the NRC to approve the higher levels of effluence. Hirsch still worries that students who work in the Math-Science building near the reactor, which has been operating since 1959, could develop leukemia in 20 years. He readily admits he doesn’t really know if that kind of prolonged mass murder is actually likely, but adds that the university and the NRC don’t really know if it is unlikely, either. “This is like shooting First and asking questions later,” he says. Questions about potential safety hazards have turned most studiously administrators reactors mushrooms on<am ' experiments, was stored. A halfinch flood resulted. “There were a few people who became alarmed when they were told the water might be radioactive,” recalled botany instructor John Hayden. But school officials had students back in the classroom after a 90-minute mopup. June Williams of Maryland’s public information office said it had been a simple maintenance job, and didn’t know if the incident was even worth reporting to the NRC. Campus radiation safety physicist Benjamin Creech called the evacuation “just a # precaution.” Nonchalance was also the word at the Universtiy of Houston when students at a campus recycling center returned in September to find a new nuclear waste storage building had been built nearby. Vigilence A campus radiation technical told College Press Service the Low- level carbon 14 and tritium stored in the building was gathered daily from classes, taken to the storage building by bicycle, and kep there until it was shipped to the huge nuclear dump near Barnwell, S. C. Before the building was erected, campus nuclear waste had been stored in classrooms. Students have also accused door where the discharge was detected. If no one knows if the low-level radiation typically caused by the small-scale campus equipment can be dangerous over q period of years, no one really knows how common on-campus nuclear incidents have occurred. John Copedk, public information officer at the NRC’s Maryland headquarters, said there had been no reported safety problems at campus-based reactors or waste storage facilities. Yet Hirsch swears his committee recently reported the argon 41 problem to the NRC. The NRC’s Wensiawski notes his agency doesn’t really pay much attention to the potential problems of college nuclear research. Though even minor incidents involving radioactive materials must be reported to the NRC at least annually, Wensiawski admits most of the NRC’s scrutiny is directed at large nuclear power plants. “If a big plant stubs its toe, we find out about it.” That kind of yigilence may be less than comforting to those who worry about the long-term safety of low-level radiation on campus. The NRC’s closer scrutiny of larger operations, in fact, promises to administrators at Concordia raise campus anxiety levels higher. University in Ontario, Canada, of The NRC has closed down all but being “irresponsible” for allowing one of the nation’s nuclear waste radiation to escape from a campus dumping grounds, thus forcing neutron generator. campus research operations to According to the Canadian temporarily increase the amount of University Press, the generator has nuclear waste they keep on campus, been dischargingneutron particles perhaps in anticipation of the into the basement of a campus critics. Harvard last week debated building since 1976 through a flaw halting all nuclear research and use in the surrounding containment of nuclear materials on campus 's area. until the waste disposal sites are The Canadian Atomic Energy reopened.

There is neither time nor money for such individualized treatment. Although begun in September, the program has so far affected very few students since teachers arc still undergoing training. Baugh said that parent response has been positive, for they too realize the importance of computers in today’s society. Macintyre maintained that students should have no problems adapting to this type of instruction. Computers today, he said, are seen as “games.” He added that growing up with TV has reduced, if not eliminated, any qualms students might have about “talking” to an inanimate object. Baugh noted that the $50,000 cost of the program is more modest than had been expected since UB is participating and allowing some of its equipment to be used. The expense is completely absorbed by the Buffalo School District, although the University receives no reimbursement for the use of its terminals. Because of the relatively low cost, it is possible that' eventually these computers will be available in the elementary schools. Macintyre said that the reason the project began in the high schools was to give those students a chance to work in the program before they pursue further education and careers. the Baugh emphasized cooperation between the city schools and the University, saying, “It shows what can occur when we share our resources.” She said she is hopeful that this project will set precedent for .'ograms with other areas at UB. “Hopefully.” said Macintyre, “this program will bring the basics back into the classroom. The present lack of this type of knowledge in students today is a tragedy.” �A classified T** 1 CLASSIFIEDS may ba Spectrum’ office, 355 at ‘The placed Hall, MSC.

He thrilled UB Basketball fans for four years and left in 1978 as this school’s all time leading rebounder. In 1976, when UB was still a Division 1 school, he led the entire nation in rebounding. He had a fine career at a school that now languishes in Division III. But Sam Pellom’s with the big guys now. The three year contract he signed Friday makes him the first UB graduate ever to play in the National Basketball Association (NBA), and maybe the most reknowned athletic alumnus in UB history. Pcllom, who holds 10 UB records including field goals made, field goals attempted and shots blocked, joins former New York Jets all pro defensive end Gerry Philbin and ex-Miami quarterback John Stofa as celebrated UB grads. He’ll play center To make room for the 6-9 Pellom, the first place Hawks traded much traveled guard Terry Furlow to the Utah Jazz. “We envision him as a center,” Hawk’s Vice President Stan Kasten told The Spectrum, although Pellom had played both forward and center for the injury haunted club in pre-season. Former UB Basketball coach Leo Richardson—now Assistant to the Vice President for Affirmative Action and Human Relations here—said he was “delighted” that his star player has found a home in Atlanta. Pellom keeps in close contact with Richardson, and called Saturday, the ex-coach said, to tell him the good news. Richardson—who compiled a 34-92 record in five years here—rescued Pellom from a factory job in 1974 after he spotted him in a Wilmington, North Carolina summer league. Pellom, who graduated from high school in Lcland, North Carolina in 1970, worked for four year's until Richardson offered him one of the last scholarships UB would ever give out to come north. SUNY no longer permits UB to grant scholarships. UB was Division 1 for Pellom’s first three years, but dropped to Division IIF in his senior year, costing him untold publicity and probably his chance at being picked in the NBA rookie draft. Just missed He joined the Washington Generals last year—and apparently caught the eye of Hawks’ scouts while playing for the Harlem Globetrotters favorite opponent. “They had their eyes on him,” Richardson noted. He played summer ball, and the Hawks liked what they saw of him there. Kasten explained, giving him a long look in the NBA pre-season games. According to Richardson, the Hawks actually signed him in pre-season, then had to cut him shortly before the opener when they had no room for him on their roster. But they continued to pay him, and eventually traded Furlow to open up a spot for Pellom. The Hawks would not disclose terms of the contract, but the minimum salary in the NBA is $30,000 per year. At 28, Pellom is old for a rookie and his age figured to hurt his chances of playing NBA ball. But the Hawks, looking for frontline help, were not bothered by it. “His age wasn’t a factor,” Kasten FerawUB ewilwSam PaHom Still /taping, now In the big lime very hard worker and has great desire to leant, Kasten noted.- "That’s very important with a teaching kind of coach like Hubie Brown." Pellom’s aggressive rebounding is his strong point, according to Kasten, but his outside shooting, which helped make him UB’s number two all time scorer, is not bad at all. "He’s got a good jump shot for a man 6-9," Richardson said. Pellom has yet to play for the Hawks, but before long he may be facing some of the NBA’s top pivotmen—Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Artis Gilmore and Moses Malone. But Richardson isn’t worried. "I’m sure he can hold his own with those guys," he '■* said. ” — indicated. The Hawks did by Elena Cacavas News Editor K. I | The UB Libraries, disturbed in redent years by eroded financial support, fear further setbacks from next year’s budget despite their request Tor $737,200 in additional acquisition funds for books and periodicals. According to Director of the Libraries Saktidas Roy a November 9 budget hearing in Albany drew good justification by UB representatives for the program’s total $2,258,900 request. But pleas for adequate funding have annually reverberated off of deaf ears in the State Division of Budget not question his talent. “He’s a r I O • [»i I P pip 0 P Li . - » ' ** ■ ■I IIUUI\ /"N \S dllCdU f’A lO I1 QftH fimrlina I IVJ 11 I * I vJ Libraries see the two as equally important, for without adequate staff, service must invariably suffer, rendering the collections less accessible no matter how good they are.” Roy said that the Libraries had intended to ask for a staff QI w line to be opened, but were discouraged from doing so because of UB Dental School priorities. iln r3.riG S - - III/ , . IIKciy 1/ w vl/CIV IX (DOB). “Oh, the hearing was very good,” Roy said “But 1 don’t think we’ll get more money.” Funding this year totaled $1,521,700. UB’s extensive library system has been strapped \sy yearly cuts in spending power since 1975 and receives less acquisition money—for periodicals and journals—per stqdent than the three other centers in the SUNY system. In last year’s supplemental budget, a request for $880,000 in additional money for books and periodicals was denied. Roy at that time said he expected the Libraries’ purchasing power to decline seven percent, and Monday predicted a similar drop when the 1980-81 budget is passed early next year. An expected $152,000 increase to accommodate a 10 percent inflationary rate will, according to. Roy, have little significance. Recovery far away “If we get no new dollars the price increase will not be adequate to maintain our subscriptions. We will undoubtedly have to cancel more periodicals,” Roy maintained. A loss of personnel over the years has taken a back seat in importance to the Libraries’ inability to purchase journals and periodicals. Last year, financial restrictions forced the Director o< the Libraries S«klld«t Roy cancellation of about 250 subscriptions and a repeat performance is possible. A Library newsletter noted the University’s recognition of the “adverse effects” poor funding has had on the acquisition program. Roy tole The Spectrum Monday that Albany budget arguments gave top priority to UB’s Libraries, but indicated that recurrent financial restrictions will delay recovery for some time. The newsletter noted the “inadequate support’ provided for acquisitions during the 1970’s—“a level of support which has made it impossible for the University Libraries to approach the level of collection building deemed minimal ...” by standard formulas. I don't think we'll get more money.' accreditation problems could befall many University disciplines. “We have gotten no additional money since 1978. We are threatened with a loss of quality students and faculty members since we cannot provide the materials they need,” Roy maintained. But while the University is now giving ample attention to the purchasing problems of the Libraries, little consideration has been given to staff depletions. Despite the loss of 19 fulltime slots during the past years, a request for seven additional posts to offset previous losses was deleted from the formal request. “It is a continuing source of frustration that the staffing needs of the Libraries are not placed on a par with those of collection development,” the newsletter states. “Certainly the Staff depletions ignored Roy repeated his annual warning that if acquisition money" continues to fall consistently short of expectations, then Inside: Economically speaking—P. 7 / A big build-up?—P. 11 / ' The deterioration of the Library system here was spurred in 1975 when its budget was slashed by $300,000. At that time, UB was the only State unit to have its library’s budget so severely cut. Stony Brook, Binghamton and Buffalo State reported last year that their allocations have remained steady. Each year, however, UB —still wounded by the initial cut —falls further and further behind the inflation rate. While no department currently faces accreditation threats related to Library woes, Roy that a currently “rich” collection of necessary materials could soon be depleted. A 1980 Middle States Review should, according to Roy. show some “negative” comments directly related to the Libraries. “They will give us a warning,” Roy said calmly but directed more attention toward the effect poor acquisitions will have on UB’s professional schools. Referring to the School of Architecture, Roy said its last review was “very, very critical” with regard to Library materials, but added that that situation has since improved. "Basically it damages our reputation when these visiting teams come,” Roy explained. “And we’re going through the same problems, only with two added years of frustration.” He predicted that the 1980-81 fiscal year will be particularly difficult for the State—difficulties which should spiral back to local cuts. Students forced elsewhere But students are already feeling the pressure. Roy explained last year that those who do research in specialized areas will not find needed material in Lockwood. He singled out the sciences as a trouble spot, maintaining that more than the current number of periodicals are needed. According to UB Assistant Vice President and Comptroller William Baumer, the DOB which allocates money for SUNY does not really use a formula to determine .library funding. Instead, he said, factors weighed include the amount already in the budget, the dollars available fof funding increase and the extent of support formerly shown for the program by the central administration. President of UB’s Student Association Joel Mayersohn who argued in Albany on behalf of the Libraries told The Spectrum Monday, “The libraries arc the lifeblood of the University and have not been effectively funded. It is difficult to buy back periodicals when the money eventually comes and meanwhile, the State is forcing students to other Universities.” A modern-day Alice—P. 15 / Eye on the ball—P. 17 �Cl i explained Pauly, do not provide for a'“massive revision.” by Seth GoodchUd City Editor * County Executive Edward Rutkowski’s proposed 1980 budget was tabled until December 4 by the County Legislature, enabling further study of the complicated county sales tax dispute and the proposed pay hike for (bounty Legislators and other officials. The budget—which experienced rather smooth sailing through week long hearings—was expected to be approved but two Republican legislators crossed over to give the Democrats a 12-8 victory. William A. Pauly voted against the budget because he felt the move “premature.” He termed cutting the process short, “wrong” as full consideration was not given to all aspects of the budget. The other Republican to cross over to the Democrats was lame duck legislator Donald L. Turchiarelli. The ambitious S491 million proposal represented a $40 million increase in spending yet cut the average property tax rate by 14 cents per $1000 assessed value. It allowed Rutkowski to stay within the limits he set for himself during the recent campaign. Although no one will admit it. the tabling motion was inspired in part by a desire to garner support for the controversial pay for the legislators. Rutkowski’s original budget did not include any pay hike and he is expected to veto any amendment containing the raise. Pauly—who is opposed to the hike—told The Spectrum he doesn’t believe the 14 votes necessary to override a veto exist. Many of those opposed believe a commission should be appointed to study the issue. Before the Legislature failed to adopt the budget, a compromise proposal was agreed to that would chop off about $1 million, Pauly said. The compromise would cut an additional 50 cents from the average > . property tax rate. Should the Legislature be unable to act on the budget by December 4, it goes into effect automatically, reported Assistant Director of the Budget Robert Farrington. No additional problems are expected as the amendments presented, YOU’VE COTA DAI E WITH MOLLY A public outcry has forced the Public Service Commission (PSC) to reverse its original decision not to hold hearings in Western New York on the New York State Electric and Gas Corporation request for a rate increase. Hearings have now been scheduled for December 5. State Senator Joseph Tauriello was instrumental in forcing PSC Chairman Charles A. Zielinski to hold the hearings—which will be held in the State Office Building on Court Street. Although the City is not served by New York State Electric and Gas, the hearings, claimed Tauriello, are still important. Should the State utility receive an increase, “it could trigger similar requests from Niagara Mohawk,” the Senator said. Tauriello told Zielinski that the turnout for the commission would be “overwhelming” and had added that if the PSC refused to hold hearings complaints would have reached “hurricane force.” Federal Judge John T. Curtin made final last week his December 1978 ruling that Buffalo’s police and fire departments discriminate against woman and minority groups. Curtin—currently embroiled in a disagreement with the Board of Education over the school desegregation—ordered that 50 percent of newly hired police officers and firemen must be black or Hispanic and 25 percent of police officers must be women. The Judge ordered the two departments to go beyond regular eligibility lists to find enough minority and female candidates. Both departments must also keep results of all tests used for initial hiring and promition keyed by race, sex, and natural origin. An appeal is expected in the wake of Curtin’s order as one was filed aftef his 1978 decision but the United States Court of Appeals’ Second Circuit ruled it would have to await a final decision. ® Theta Chi Fraternity • : & The Community Action Corp present ® DEATH TO disco i Friday, Nov, 30 1:00 am 9:00 pm Fillmore Room Squire Hall • ; • — — $1.00 Admission entitles you to: 1) FREE CHICKEN WINGS ■ • • Appearing at the War Memorial, Dec. 3 Available at Cavages $5.97 LP or Tape - r Egg McMuffin® BUY ONE Fri. 7 am 10:30 am Saturday 7 am 11:00 am 7 am Sunday 11:30 am — — - - - - GET ONE FREE pn.

Often thrusting his hands for emphasis, the 53-year old bespectacled dissident delivered an emotional hour-long speech with the aid of a translator. Despite the language barrier, Ginzburg developed a relaxed rapport between himself and th< audience. He evoked many responses from the older crowd. Admitting it was difficult for Americans to understand a society so closed, he described basic human rights in four areas—religion, receiving and giving information, free travel in and out of Russia and other social and economic rights. Ginzburg called called the right to practice a religion “fundamental,” yet said the Soviet regime has denied even this to its people. Speaking under the auspices of the William H. Fitzpatrick Chair of Political Science, he explained that laws exist which prohibit churches from “carrying out their normal functions.” ‘Eradication of all religion’ Furthermore, authorities prohibit religious instruction other than* by parent—the same parents who were indoctrinated under the social revolution which began in 1917 and spanned 40 years. Their aim? “The eradication of all religion,” Ginzburg exclaimed. “For 40 years,” continued Ginzburg, “the regime systematically destroyed all religious books, until the State had achieved its aims.” The Soviets then decided to cease their book burning campaign and published 40,000 Bibles this decade. These Bibles for 100 million Christians—have been used to “show off’ the progress the regime has made, Ginzburg — claimed. “When religious leaders visit institutions in Russia, they sec “whole shelves covered in Bibles,” he explained, drawing some quiet laughter. The activist noted that there are many who operate underground, despite the risk of imprisonment. He rattled off a list of printers who Wad been arrested—Ginzburg himself was imprisoned in the 19S0’s for publishing a few poems. 4 minute As for the right of freedom of assembly and demonstration, Ginzburg said the situation was “no better.” For example, he pointed to the demonstration after the 1968 Russian invasion of an Eastern European country. Seven people sat in the middle of Red Square holding signs that read “for your freedom and ours.” They were arrested four minutes later. “Freedom of movement?,” Ginzburg rhetorically asked. “1 am not going to discuss emigration,” he exlaimed, “because there is none.” Ginzburg explained the Internal Passport system which “binds persons down more than under serfdom 120 years ago.” Ginzburg spoke of basic social and economic rights involving employment, Social Security the aged and medical / treatment. “We do have the right to work,” joked Ginzburg, “better than that, we have the obligation.” He reported that the average pay is about S100, about half what Soviet authorities claim. He reminded the audience that job mobility is not high, it’s almost nonexistent. of family Punishment in order to receive acceptance for higher education, the student must undergo a character study by the local party representative, which tends to limit enrollment, in fact, Ginzburg estimated only about one-third of all applications are actually accepted. ‘Freedom of movement? ... there Is none.' in hisxclt, not the cold or the hunger, but the punishment of his family. "That is the thing that is most difficult for a prisoner to endure,” he told an agreeing audience. Despite the lack of many basic human rights, Ginzburg does not believe the present regime should Oe overthrown by violence, calling instead for “Ghandi-type” resistance. rats The exiled activist remarked doctors “may have time to examine patients,” as they must see 36 people in four hours. Those most in need of medical care—the aged—receive only about $80 per month in pension. “Not very much,” he added. Ginzburg described the roughest part of a prisoner’s life in the Soviet Union as not the December deadline approaches Iranian students report for status check vjr undergoing a status -check fast approaching, approximately 60 UB Iranian students have reported to-the Office of Immigration and Naturalization according to District Director Benedict Ferro. Over 100 Iranian students attend the University. A November presidential decree instructed the Justice Department to check the approximately 50,000 Iranian students in the country for violation of their visas. Students found in violation could be deported. Many Americans had been angered by Iranian student demonstrations supporting the takeover of the American embassy in Iran and advocating the return of Shah Reza Pahlevi. Although demonstrations by Iranian students have slowed, anti-Iranian feelings appear to run high among Americans as the embassy takeover and holding of the 49 hostages enters the fourth week. United Nations Secretary General Kurt Waldheim has urged the UN Security Council to meet and discuss the stalemate. t Ferro noted that the immigration office in downtown Buffalo was “very busy in the first week (after President Carter’s order was released.).

Students failing to report by December 13 are subject to deportation, he said. “A little over a hundred students are here on visa,” noted UB Director of International Student Affairs Joseph Williams. He said Student Affairs has put notices in the campus papers to warn Iranian students of the deadline.

Five Western New York pharmacists concurred that women request a greater number of Valium prescriptions. Between January and March of this year two million Valium tablets were dispensed in Erie County alone, according to Andrews. Andrews felt that personal problems and pressure of society in general were major contributors to the abuse of both prescription and non-prescription drugs.

She stressed the need for cooperation between patient and physician, and urged women not to be afraid to question their doctor when he prescribes a tranquilizer. She also pointed out that Womanfocus sponsors a stress workshop for women as well as assertiveness training with an emphasis on teaching new skills and alternative methods of dealing with stress. According to Mrs. Andrews, women who work at home, women in mid-life change and women who undergo physical changes such as a mastectomy or an abortion are the three main groups involved in Womanfocus. The abuse extends beyond prescription drugs. Aspirin and alcohol are high on the list of abused and suicide-related drugs. “This is a reflection of the misinformation concerning over-thecounter drugs,” Andrews said. Andrews also maintained that of the 425,543 women over the age of 16 residing in Erie County, only.,37 percent were employed outside the home. She felt this was an important factor in the abuse of drugs by women. “Some women, faced with loneliness and lack of personal satisfaction, turn to drugs for relief,” she explained. “Women are portrayed in drug advertising as dependent, infantile and self-centered, according to Psychiatrist Robert Seidenberg. This only reinforces the social pressure placed on women, Andrews said, adding that this coping mechanism can become a trip to the doctor’s office for a tranquilizer.

You can’t buy it for Christmas, but this University’s poker playing computer gives everyone a fair deal. The most uncanny achievement of the computer card player is that it can make decisions, bluff, and raise your bet. Computer poker is an on-going research project at this University, aimed at studying human decision making under conditions of uncertainty and risk. “Games are typically used in the study of artificial intelligence,” according to Charles Pearson, one of the key members of the “poker group” which pioneered this research. “The way they teach children the facts of nature, they teach the programmer,” he said. j The poker system is an attempt to provide a model for human problem solving and learning, on one hand, and machine learning, on the other, according to Pearson. Poker was chosen because of its inherent similarity to problem solving in the real world. Both cards and jife involve the elements of risk, decision making and uncertainty, Pearson said. “There is also a hearts group, doing similar research in the Midwest,” he added. <. Jacks or better The actual brand of cards that the UB computer plays is five card draw—Jacks or better—with a 10 chip ante. The computer welcomes you to the poker table, introduces the other players, and displays your hand. The game is continued as regulation Ol poker with betting, bluffing, lucky breaks, winners and losers. The computer is not programmed to win. It must rely on the luck of the draw like every other player. “The computer plays like a good poker player,” according to Pearson. It can employ 36 distinct strategies. The one used most often is basically a "mathematically fair-player,” betting on the known distribution of the poker hands, the value of its own hand, and other statistics available to it, he said. Furthermore, the poker system was programmed not to cheat, he added. The “poker system” is a collection of programs written in Fortran, SLIP, COMPASS and AMPPLII for the CYBER 173 which is located at 4250 Ridge Lea. The users’ guide to the system is about the size of the “Pelican Shakespeare” and the paper form of the program is thousands of computer printouts thick. The complexity of the programming is contrasted by the simplicity of the game play. The terminal is set up like a standard typewriter and all the communication to the computer is in -uncoded English. To raise your bet 10 chips, you simply type “raise 10”. The game is viewed on a television-like screen. The “poker group” is now searching for more strategies and improvements on existing ones, according to Pearson.

He urged n more realistic approach throughout his 75 minute address two weeks ago which covered Middle East peace plans, the embassy take-over .in Iran and his political future. Facing a somewhat empty Shea’s Buffalo Theater, the aging Dayan surprised the audience when be said this country should have military facilities in the Sinai desert. He added it would be a “good thing” for the free world, should we demonstrate some kind of military concern. Dayan later assured inquisitive reporters that Israel would “never ask Americans to fight for us.” The former high government official avoided any comparison of American presence in the Middle East with recent involvement in Viet Nam, saying, “We will grant you a piece of land so that if you want to fight you can.” Turning to the Middle East peace prospects, the ex-war hero called the Camp David accords the “foundation of peace” despite many Arab nations’ rejection of the agreements. At present, only Israel, Egypt and the United States have signed, but Dayan expects Jordan to eventually join the peace pact. PLO demonstrators Dayan attacked the Palestine Organization Liberation (PLO) —rejecting a Palestinian state—calling them “sheer murderers and assasins, while noting a Palestinian state is “hardly a more realistic option.” Knowing full well the PLO’s desire for their own state, he nonetheless called it “totally unacceptable to Israel.” Outside Shea’s about 100 demonstrators protested Dayan’s appearance and his government’s policy towards the Palestinians. Marching from Lafayette Square, the demonstrators chanted slogans such as “Death to Sadat,” “We are all PLO,” and “Judiasm-yes, Zionism-no.” A few in the well-dressed crowd attending Dayan’s speech milled about in front of the Theater and attempted to outshout the Arabs. One older man quite disturbed by the demonstrators—was restrained by Buffalo police after starting a brief scuffle. Billy club wielding Buffalo Police looked on.

He expressed a hope About 100 protester* outside near-empty Shea’s \gaintt Israeli policy towards Palestinians that Israel would Withdraw her military forces from the West Bank territories, and allow the Arabs to “enjoy their own lives,” free of interference. “The key for autonomy,” said Dayan, "lies with us, with Israel.” After the troop pull out, Israel and Jordan should sit down to conclude the next step explained the former Minister. He supported the long standing Israeli policy to maintain troops on her borders for defensive purposes onlyThe estimated 375 people in attendance greeted the Central with —Garry Moshe Dayan a standihg ovation, but did not interrupt his speech with applause until the question and answer period following the address. A questionner drew applause when he asked why Dayan quit at a time when his expertise was needed. The General avoided a direct response, poiinling only to his fundamental differnece with Prime Minister Begin—disagreement over the forced annexation of West Bank territories. Two camps Dayan drew scattered applause when he refused to further attack Begin, “I will not, criticize my government while here in the United States.” He predicted no new elections would be held Until 1981 as “no immediate problems” existed with Bcgin’s rule. Despite Dayan’s opposition to Begin’s proposal—which led to his resignation—the General refused to waiver. “1 feel so sure my concept is right,” he maintained, “that 1 think it will be carried on without me.” The 64 year old Dayan reserved his warmest remarks for Egyptian President Sadat, saying his decision to break away from the Soviet Union “initiated” peace. The General divided the current Middle East situation into two camps—one led by the Soviets, the other by the Americans. He accused the Soviets of pursuing war, pointing to their rejection of any peace overtones that involved Israel. The Americanled group consists of only Egypt and Israel, but Dayan said he doesn’t doubt other Arab countries will join if “we insist on a peaceful course and not what is talcing place in Iran.” Commenting further on the Iranian situation, he said this country should not have been surprised with the takeover. “You are nice people,” he told the audience, “you trusted and believed the Iranian people when they told you not to worry about your embassy.” He added Americans and Israelis alike should be “more realistic” about the Middle East in light of the Iranian fiasco. Refusing to comment further, he did say that a show of force iirTeheran would be “dangerous.” Dayan has been mentioned as a possible successor to Begin but he avoided comment, kidding reporters, “we should hardly punish the Israeli people that way.” Accompanied by his wife, he sounded very much like a prospective candidate for some post. “I hope to find a platform to raise my voice,” he remarked. . •• •• EARN DOLLARS in your spare time!

Bercy looked ahead to a student union on Amherst and the changes that would accompany «it. He speculated that moving groups from Squire will attract student opposition,.but will nevertheless occur. This, he said, will cause a shift of most student activities to the suburban campus. Amherst. UUAB weekend films, which traditionally have run four nights on Main Street, are now for ■ the first time being shown on both campuses for two evenings at each. Film coordinator Bill Hooley explained that in the past, only occasional free movies were shown at Amherst. The change, he said, is partly spurred by plans for the eventual transfer of all non-health related fields to Amherst, and partly because of the condition of Squire Hall equipment. Amherst’s Woldman Theater and Main Street’s Squire Hall are the only on-campus locations where 35mm films can be shown, due to the need for special projectors. Hooley said that projectors in Squire are “1940 vintage and on their last legs.” Director of the Squire-Amherst Division of Sub Board 1 Don Berey also maintained that the movies are completely dependent upon the equipment which is superior in the Woldman Theater. Showing movies there % - • Slow shift anticipated Student Association Director of Student Activities Barry Calder, however, questioned how much of an activity transfer will occur. He claimed that even after Main Street has been changed, there will still be a large student population on and around that campus. This, Calder contended, will allow many activities to continue on Main Street. But some activities have already begun to switch to Amherst. Calder explained that Fallfest was originally-planned for Amherst, however, due to a home football game scheduled on the only available date for the band, the event was held on Main Street to accommodate the most people. He said that circumstances will determine future locations for Fallfest. i. Calder also maintained that more commuter activities arc npw held on both campuses because of the large amount of time students spend on each. Commuter breakfasts are just one example. This was the second year that the InterResident Council (IRC) sponsored Sunfest on the Amherst Campus. IRC Vice President for Student Activities Rickie Koh explained ' _ by Ron Kometic Staff Writer Spectrum that the “bowl”—near Lake LaSalle—is a good place for parties and more dorm residents arc located on that campus. Koh thinks that h will be some time before the Main Street Campus is changed and said that until then, there will be no revision of the IRC activity schedule. He said that eventually, when no dorm students are left on the old campus, all IRC activities will be . held on Amherst. —Laura Farr utilized" in the Economics department and by other departments at the University, leaving little apparent flexibility. Popularity, low support crowd Economics Dept. The high enrollment-low support bind that has afflicted several departments in the Faculty of Social Sciences has also struck UB’s Economics Department, but Chairman Thomas J. Romans told The Spectrum that overcrowding is a lesser evil than declining enrollment. Since a total Faculty is budgeted based on total enrollment, an increased demand in one department within a faculty—such as Economics or Communication within Social Sciences—is not automatically rewarded by increased funding. Faculty Dean Kenneth Levy cannot increase support for any of his high< enrollment departments without shifting resources away from —and maybe crippling—another department. The overcrowding has led to a student-faculty ratio in Economics, of approximately 34-1, according to Romans, almost twice;UB’s budgeted ratio of 17-1. For Economics students, it means introductory classes with as many as 400 students, qpd for teachers, it means a less personal style of instruction. More interest Romans now secs about 180 new undergraduates enter the department each year, with IS students entering the full-time PhD program and 4S residents of the Buffalo community taking advantage of the department’s evening MA (Master’s) program. “People are more interested in economics because of what’s happening now,’’ explains Economics Professor Arthur Butler, referring to the uncertain economic conditions facing the country. As a result, more students want to take economics courses. Students cannot be motivated in introductory courses of such a large size, Butler believes. “In the long-run the department will go down-hill (if this continues),” he said. “We cannot think that students will keep knocking at the door.” To correct this problem, Romans is prepared to have more graduate students teach at the introductory level. But he noted. “Our graduate students are fully Don’t go Another problem, according to Romans, is the flexible schedule that allows a faculty member to teach elsewhere for part of the year. Because the course schedule for September is drawn up in January, any unexpected departure of a faculty member leaves a gap in the course list. The vacancy cannot be filled instantly by anyone, because the courses are specialized. Romans can solve this problem somewhat by shifting schedules. On the graduate level the department is small enough to accomplish this. ...t While the hiring of new faculty is severely limited, Romans commented, “We cab afford to be select.” He said that because this University is a research institution the “teachers have the opportunity to do other things in economics." Many of the faculty members teach for a part of the year and then teach at other schools throughout the world as visiting professors. “These offers to teach at other universities reflects the credentials of the faculty." said Romans. Likewise, visiting professors of distinction are invited to teach here. Romans pointed out that the department is benefltted by faculty keeping their colleagucs informed of new developments in the economic spectrum. The Economics Department is ranked 10th in the country, based on the top 20 economics journals that publish faculty articles, according to Romans. The addition in 1972 of the evening MA program further enhances the department’s credentials. Despite these honorable achievements though, a diminishing budget cannot be ignored. Besides the problems of over-capacity in the classroom, only six of 17 senior level courses can be taught each semester due to a limited faculty. On the graduate level, students must vote for the courses they would like to have offered to them. “We’re fairly efficient.” considering the reality of the “tight dollar,” Romans said.

CZl> ALSO PLANNED THIS SEMESTER BACKGAMMON & FRISBEE TOURNAMENTS ‘Out of this world’— reality by year 2000? by David Galanter Spectrum Staff Writer “I see no reason why man should not begin to live in space by the turn of the century,” declared Elissa Wynn of the Niagara chapter of the L-5 society. L-5 is an organization committed to the encouragement of technology and government cooperation to make space settlements a reality by the year 2000. Although this idea may seem absurd at first, the technology is already available. Dr. Gerard O’Neil of Princeton University has been doing research in this area since 1969, publishing two books and numerous papers detailing the application of known scientific principles to achieve this galactic goal. NASA’s current Space Shuttle project bears directly on O’Neil’s theory of how man should occupy outer space. A shuttle would transport materials from earth to an orbiting base station constructed out of the shuttle’s external fuel tanks. Workers living in the base would build space habitats. Eventually, the project would reach a “bootstrap point” where enough manufacturing could occur in space so the mission could be self-supporting. Hinges on satellites Adequate funding to start the project poses the key impasse to O’Neil and the L-5 society. They see the answer in solar satellites—large devices which take solar energy above the earth’s atmosphere, transform it into microwaves, transmitting the energy to receiving stations on earth. No one screams Communications satellites now beaming radio waves operate on similar principles. Although 30 satellites may be built, O’Neil said only utilizing three will achieve the bootstrap point. This energy supply system is preferable to an earth-based solar power station. A solar station in space would have an uninterrupted supply of solar energy, eliminating the need for storage and back-up systems —the major problems with present solar energy systems. The space unit would also be completely pollution free, with easier maintenance since no corrosion occurs in space. O’Neil would pump profits from the project back to the space program. Wynn predicts further societal benefits from such large-scale space projects, including a very large structure called a bernal sphere. Within this orbiting unit, factories could be housed, significantly reducing the amount of pollution on earth. Wynn also speculated a great reduction in the number of international border disputes. A country could find it easier and cheaper to build a bemal sphere than expand borders, risking war with a neighboring nation. Limitless humanity it “As far as humanity’s future is concerned, space limitless” Wynn explained. “I’m an environmentalist. It’s my concern for the earth which originally got me interested in this project. Even if man is able to curtail strip mining and various forms of pollution in this generation, he may not in the future. Expansion into space could permanently solve many of these environmental problems.” apparent science-fiction scenario has seriously occupied government and industrial agendas. Companies such as Grumman Aircraft and Rockwell International have invested much into related projects. Dr. O’Neil has testified before numerous congressional committees, relating the pragmatics of putting his research to work. The L-5 Society is an organization committed to making space settlements a reality by the end of this century. The name L-5 comes from the name of a point equidistant from the earth and the moon where an object such as a bernal sphere could be put into orbit so that no energy would be required to maintain its orbit. The Society is going to begin holding meetings on campus on Friday, December 7, the time and place to be announced. It is now affiliated with the Buffalo Museum of Science where they hold open meetings on the second Sunday of every month. , �United States space program now criticized by majority by Act Kleiner •nd Patrick Marshall (PNS)—Ten years after Neil Armstrong left mankind’s first footprint in outer space, the American love affair with space research has reached a point of middle-age apathy.

This a group October, of interdisciplinary scientists met to discuss such implications at a assumption, what is significant is that the public believes that the amount of useful knowledge derived from space research is simply not worth the billions it space have been enormous,” says Courtney Stadd, Policy Director of the National Space Institute. “The knowledge we’ve gained has affected everything, from our theories about the origins of life on earth to the new foam padding that protects high school football players. It seems that the further we get from earth, the more we find out about costs. ourselves.” This popular notion is also shared by many in Congress, where NASA goes begging each year. The annual NASA budget is still some 20 percent less, in absolute terms, than it was 15 years ago, when its $5.2 billion budget was worth the equivalent of about $12 billion to $13 billion today. Yet despite* the actual decrease in NASA’s purchasing power, space scientists believe they are producing more basic and practical scientific knowledge today than a decade ago when they had more dollars that bought twice as much. Boston University microbiologist Dr. Lynn Margulis agrees that space research has worked some profound changes, especially within her own field. “Before we could compare our own planet to others,” she explained, “we weren’t really able to appreciate the importance of the role microorganisms play in our environment. What we’ve learned has forced major changes in our views.” Billingham, our increasing knowledge about these basic forms of life may help us to predict where we might find life elsewhere. Ecosystem in danger Thanks to the 1975 Viking probe of Mars, Margulis says, scientists have a new appreciation for the role that microscopic life plays in the universe. “We have now come to realize that microorganisms are a crucial part of this system,” says Margulis. “The chemical gases taken in and released by Astronauts add inches “While no living microorganisms have been found in space,” says Billingham, “the basic chemicals needed to create them are there. There’s no reason to assume that what happened on earth didn’t happen in other solar systems as well.” Accordingly, scientists at continually Ames are some $4.4 billion is dwarfed by HEW’s $180 billion. “The entire space program costs each American roughly the same as a six-pack of beer,” says a NASA spokesman. As for the second The emphasis is science In those days, scientists explain, the main impulse of the space program was to put a man on the moon. In terms of the actual scientific knowledge about the universe which derived from that feat, the costs were great. National Aeronautics and Space (NASA) Administration sponsored workshop. “Overlooking the effects of microorganisms on the Earth will one day seem as ignorant as trying to treat a disease without knowing about bacteria or viruses,” predicted Margulis. In another research effort, at NASA’s Ames Research Laboratory near San Francisco, other scientists are attempting increased understanding of microorganisms back out to space. According to Ames Program Director John to turn this Ames project examining the effects of weightlessness on the human body. . Originally initiated to help prepare astronauts for space flights, the program is now generating new theories of the effects of gravity on the design of our bodies. when “Astronauts, weightless, temporarily grow two or three inches in height spine because their straightens.” says project director Dr, Harold Sandler. “When we experiment with animals in low gravity over several generations, they get and their bones become thick in different different muscles places.” • According to Dr. Sandler, these observations, and many others, tafve added greatly to our undAcstanding of why the human slceleton is organized the way il is, and the ways in which our bodies may change should we eventually live under other conditions.

Now, through photos and television coverage of our space flights and probes, we’ve all had to deal with a shift in our conceptions.” According to Mitchell, his own experience of being the sixth man to walk on the moon had a profound effect on his view of the world and of our role in the universe. “When I looked back and saw the Earth 1 realized just how blinded—how earth-centered—we are. 1 realized that if we are to survive the challenges facing us now and in the future, we are going to have to make some changes in the way we see ourselves.” ITS IRC S 18th BIRTHDAY PARTY! - Basketball Royals than those of the first. “To physically go out space,” muses Mitchell, look back at Earth and see an insignificant little toy in the Goodyear Cafeteria Tonight Saturday Stadd.

Six years ago the owners of The New Age Restaurant left their downtown location to rent and remodel an old butcher shop on Greenfield Street. “By not serving meat and offering food which is low on the consumer hierarchy, we feel we are making a leftist statement on world hunger,” claimed Del Plato. Because Greenfield Street members believe their restaurant offers a service to the community, they were willing to take a cut in pay to counteract a recent slump in business. One member explained that when the restaurant is doing well, the members sometimes increase their salaries. “It was up to $3.50 but now it is down to $3.00 per hour. We haven’t been busy lately,” he said. The members generally believe that the slump was brought about by a price increase. MANHATTAN ISMISSMG!

The Department of Public Safety Is keeping a watch. Parking tickets on rise by Mike DeGraw Staff Writer Spectrum If you are one of the 11,000 students and faculty who drive to UB— a conservative estimate by the Department of Public Safety—you had better be careful where you park. Approximately 12,000parking tickets are issued each year to motorists on campus, and as a result, Public Safety is working towards reducing the causes of violations. A major contributor to parking tickets this year were misleading signs in the Michael Hall lot, which were moved earlier this month. The signs, stating, “No Parking Here to Curb” and included arrows pointing to the right, were over 12 feet from the double yellow lines. This positioning led several students to believe that parking to the left of the sign was legal, which was not the case. After Director of Public Safety Lee Griffin was informed of the situation, the signs were moved within one week to a clearer location. Complex—24 connected diamonds, four buildings by six buildings. At present, there are only two building according to Vice president of Facilities Planning John Neal. “That’s all there’ll ever be.” The complex, along with a full working medical facility, was scrapped when legislation prohibited UB from owning a hospital. But these plans were also drawn in 1969 when the State believed it was bu.lding the Amherst for Camp is approximately 40,000 students and 10,000 faculty, explained Neal.

But even though the changes are detectable from day to day, Neal claims that, “They aren’t working''fast enough for me.” Some of the buildings currently under construction arc the new Baird Hall (for music), Phase II of the athletic facilities, a social sciences building and a full-blown June '1st 1980. Hopefully, Neal said, it won’t be too long before other buildings can be worked on also. Even though the buildings’ interiors are in need of remodeling, Neal insists that they are going to try to preserve the outside appearance of the buildings. The theatre. Someday Neal hopes to have everything on Amherst except the Health Sciences, eventually phasing out the long-rented Ridge Lea campus. With many Main Street Departments moving to Amherst, buildings on Main Street—buildings that will be renovated to house an as yet unfinalized Health Science scheme —are being left open. Many of the buildings need inside facelifts, new equipment, such as chairs and desks, a re-working or the revealed through the traditional, ivy heating and electric system, and a covered architecture that makes up most of the Main Street Campus. redesigning of available space.

SUNY at Buffalo City jurisdiction Another problem indirectly involved in the issuance of tickets, is the parking of employees from the Veterans Administration (VA) Hospital on Bailey Avenue in UB lots. As a result, Griffin maintained, students who cannot find a parking space will park illegally to get to class on time. In response to this, Griffin said that special task forces have been set up at various intervals this semester to witness VA employees parking at UB. Once a suspect car enters the lot, Griffin explained that an officer approaches the driver and ask's for identification. Griffin said the majority of drivers confronted were VA nurses taking courses at UB, which allows them parking privileges. Other drivers there illegally were fined or just warned. Griffin hopes the recent addition to the VA parking lot and the arrival and distribution of new UB parking stickers will limit illegal parkers. Under the current system, all'parking violations occurring on the Main Street Campus, fall under the jurisdiction of the City of Buffalo. Students are thus subject to fines imposed by the City of Buffalo, with the SI2 revenue from each ticket going to the City. Recently the Student Association (SA) proposed changing to a new system, currently employed at a. few SUNY schools of having the University’s own parking tickets issued. This would permit students easier access to appeal their tickets as the hearing officer would be located on campus. Griffin explained that once a ticket is written, nothing can be done by the recipient except to plead it in court. He added that if a student is not sure why a ticket was issued, the individual should contact Public Safety and an explanation will be given. ua c Whittier College School of Law Los Angeles Campus Emergency Resuce Squad There will be a practical exam given tonight, Wed.

Office from 9 am 5 -pm 63 :2l 50v;;yy:v:v - I r �editorial 9 Goose kiUer —not really i No joke people know To the Editor: Director of the Libraries Saktidas Roy's comment that "the hearing was very good, but I don't think we'll get the money" sounds a lot like the old joke: "The operation was a success but the patient died." Many things could be said about the libraries and their falling heafth over the past several years. One could point to the euphemism that the libraries are the "lifeblood” of the University, supplying the books to transmit knowledge and the journals to keep researchers up to date on the latest discoveries. But the libraries show symptoms of anemia. They simply can’t afford to maintain costly journal subscriptions. Without the 50 percent budget hike the libraries are requesting, more cancellations—like the 250 cancelled subscriptions last year—are imminent. One could also question the logic of amputating staff. Books and journals should take precedence over the people who tend them, yet materials which are not catalogued and ordered are close to useless. Nineteen staff positions were lost over the past few years and this year's budget request for seven more positions never even made it officially to the floor of the budget hearings. In fact, the backlash from the Fall enrollment shortfall may be strong enough to slash more positions from the libraries next year. One could argue that the libraries stand, or falter, as yet another example of Albany shortchanging UB. Allocations to other SUNY libraries have been fairly steady. UB receives less acquisition money for construction funds than its old competitor, Stony Brook,and the two other State University centers. UB libraries also suffer from chronically fewer open hours. No one can seem to agree on the cause of the libraries’ illness. Some cite inflation, noting the soaring cost of books and journals. Still others point to those reliable but often deserving Scapegoats: Albany and the State's overall financial gloom. A few might even agree that those running the show here squander of materials. Sets of journals and copies of some books can be found in several of the University libraries. This wasteful duplication, once encouraged by split campuses and kept alive by interlibrary squabbling for limited funding, only aggravates the disease. precious resources in duplication But, as usual, the ones who suffer are the students. Students and faculty. The full impact doesn't quite hit until the only copy of that needed book is out, that crucial article is in a publication which was cancelled last year, or the doors of the library are locked at night when an exam looms in the morning. And it isn't Just a bad joke. Up and good We’re not Ohio State, UCLA, Oklahoma, or even the University of North Carolina. We are not the Buckeyes, Bruins, Sooners, or the Tar Heels. We don’t get thousands of dollars for intercollegiate athletics from the University, or even offer athletic scholarships. We are not Division I. We don’t have a huge stadium—let alone a gym that can adequately service this University’s needs. But it’s nice when a UB graduate makes it to the pros; there haven’t been For those who have wondered from whence the geese have come I have the answer. I held a job on campus this summer which sometimes entailed going to the airport to pick up arriving students. One day while going out Frontier Road towards Millersport I noticed a car with its trunk up parked by the lake across from the white church. There were geese held in cages in the trunk and the driver was in the process of extracting one of the fluttering fowl. They have been here ever since. There are now three flappers we all know that a fourth was injured and removed. What few So, this is where student fee money—although it should be the State's responsibility—is put to good use. Undergraduates here have the ability and the financial power to step in and fill some holes, support programs that benefit the University. * And as a result, one student’s career is furthered and the opportunity exists for other UB athletes to become professionals./he odds are against it, given the relatively dismal support, but mandatory fee money has kept the hopes alive.

Only Interest appreciated To the Editor: An excellent article by Rose Anderson on the U/B Sports Hall of Fame in the Nov. 19, 1979 edition, with three minor corrections; 1. Football was not dropped in 1970 as a result of the loss of "federal” grants. 2. Nominees to the Hall need not have participated in the Buffalo community since graduation. 3. The name of U/B Athletic Physician Dr. Edmond J. Gicewicz, a member of the Hall was misspelled. To clarify, U/B has never received federal grants for athletics. The grants mentioned to Ms. Anderson during her interview with me were athletic grants-in-aid, often mislabeled "scholarships,” generated by ticket sales and private contributions to the athletic program. When there were insufficient funds generated by ticket sales In the late 1960’s and during the 1970 season to continue the grant-in-aid program the decision was made to drop the varsity football program on the NCAA Division I level. An attempt to raise funds in the community and from alumni also failed. And, as a SUNY institution, U/B cannot use state funds for athletics. U/B, under its current NCAA Division III status, does not offer athletic grants. Hall of Fame nominees must have been a member of a class graduated for not less than years, haveexhibited excellence in athletics, and. must possess the highest integrity, morality and loyalty (to the University). Many Hall members have not resided in Western New York since graduation, but most h ave .made significant contributions in their professions and to the communities in which they do reside. On each point, I take responsibility for not responding more accurately to Ms. Anderson's inquiries. The interest by Ms. Anderson, Sports Editor Carlos Vallarino and other Spectrum staff members in the U/B Hall of Fame is appreciated by Athletic Department administrators, coaches, athletes and alumni yytio perpetuate the honor.

It took the blue sky we left behind in New York City for ransom and laid low until nightfall. Squatters' rights! It stole our scenery and put the trees in its shrouded pockets. The fog shrunk the six hours between the Tappan Zee and Rochester Into personal frames of mind; sitting there, the three of us, portraits revved up with nowhere to go. "We’re sitting in soup,” Mike (the driver) exclaimed, frustrated since the outset of the trip by the traffic that had kept him at the speed limit much more often than he is accustomed. Soup was certainly an apt description probably for our minds as well as the weather conditions. And there at the bottom of my bowl, underneath my thoughts on Iran and my arguments with Bob (our resident engineer) on nonukes, between all our collective female troubles and the eye I kept on the road, for some reason a strong desire to travel was surfacing. Where? Somewhere, anywhere. Travel in the air, travel everywhere, travel in my blood, and travel, screw the fare. Bob had bicycled crosp-country last Summer and damned the torpedoes for not having gone with him. Stupid, plain stupid. And Bob, having gone through these same backroads through Whitney Point and Geneva, pointed out in which dives he had taken rest stops, and the corners on which he had met people, and I kicked myself again. Because bicycling—it seemed to me—bicycling was one of the best ways to travel. Sure, your ass hurts, but you don’t just "see the sights" (what the hell are sights anyway, except things to see?). It becomes a people and scenery trip—a truly cultural experience, not a postcard version. Bob left a staunch arrogant New Yorker and came back softened, the ethnocentricity disintegrating with each Western smile I could see reproduced in his face. And you wonder that if everybody traveled that way—to meet rather than to tour —maybe "death to Americans” wouldn’t be the rallying cry In Iran, or “Kill the Iranians" the cheerleader’s song here, Ahh, that sounds like a Jap poster. Song without substance. A blue Datsun with three girls pulled alongside and put a note to the car window asking first if we had a CB (they saw our ears sticking out), and second, if we were going to Buffalo (they saw our sticker). CB and fuzz buster mounted on the dashboard, Mike nodded; thus Or gy. There, I knew you could. Fuck ing Mike, I thought as he shifted into hyperdrive around a blind curve. He was trying to pass as many of the 10 cars in front of us as he could, though there was little room between them to let in an asphalt nuisance. Barrelling through the soup, Mike let Bob and I invest our fingernails into his vinyl covers, wishing we had taken the bus. But Mike is like an alligator in slime behind the wheel, and though he is a certified bad life insurance risk (he Once shut off his lights in the dead of night on a backroad so that we could drive "by moonlight"), he knows his and his auto's capabilities.

To the Editor: The Shah didn’t murder thousands of Iranian people; Iranians murdered thousands- of Iranian people. The lust of the population for blood is reaffirmed by the replacement of the murdering Shah with the Murdering Khomeini. A Jewish-Russian refugee to the country said, People get the goverment they deserve”. The U.S. may have pushed the Shah on the Iranian people, but I am certain it could not have been done without at least tacit acquiescence by a majority of the population. The U.S. didn’t interfere when Pol Pot presided over mass genocide; the Vietnamese ended that reign with their own executions and mass starvation of the i*i � _v (fldfc t mtenocfrlWhen.

But he may have been the best alternative tor the Iranian population. Nothing article - people. Would any other leader have supported less murder? Certainly not Khomeini. Possibly there was no one else. Eric Andruscavage To the Editor: Perhaps “Robert" Gentile made the comments as attributed to him by Joe Simon In his article "Two-Year Old International College Hurt by Lack of Funds," I certainly did not. More importantly, when I agreed to answer Joe Simon's questions about 1C, its courses and its funding, I did so only on the provision that he would read and report qqjny Annual Reports of 1978 and 1979. He did not, awhlch seems to me to lack honesty as well as scholarship. In those reports I documented the history of the College, the governance procedures established, and the rationale for the decisions to offer only a few new courses, if hindsight proves that the Steering Committees of two years and I were mistaken in the approach we took, so be it. As chief administrator during those years, I accept responsiblility for implementing policy decisions and providing leadership to the college. As for the claim that Ms. Brown “... had complete control over what was going on, if there was such a mandate it's because that's what she wanted" (sic.), first, it is not true and, second, I have trouble believing that Larry Knipfing said what he was quoted as saying. So what is to be made of the article? Nothing, I hope'. If anyone is Interested in a historical analysis of International College, s/he may wish to begin with the above-mentioned Annual Reports, the Report of the Faculty Senate Chartering Committee, the College's old and new charters, and proceed from there to conduct interviews and/or draw Inferences. , Learn to spell To the Editor: Quite surprised tpat The Other One did not include an article on the Dead show in its 11/15/79 edition, your article was quite welcome, However, tpat is no excuse for irresponsible journalism by a writer who obviosly knows little about the subject he writes uh on. He referred to Jerry as being “Angry throughout most of tpe first set.” On the contrary, he was livelier than could be expected, considering he was spending a cold, rainy, Friday night in Buffalo. As to jerry being“lost in the crowd,” my memory and the tape of the show back me up in hroving the band (including Jerry) was tighter than ever in both sets. They opened the second set with “Dancin’ In The Streets”, and contrary to the title, it is not disco Dead, but is in fact spaced-out rock and roll. If Stephen Bogorad wishes to write newspaper articles, I suggest he learns how to spell correctly. This would not even mean buying a dictionary, but merely looking at album covers to get the correct song titles. For example "Estimated Profit" can be simply corrected to "Estimated Prophet", and “Sarin Getty” therefore becomes “Serengetti”. Simple, isn’t it? This brings us to the fact that “Sasengetti”, a song composed and performed by the dynamic duo, has little to do with the percussion set. The next song of the set, "Warf Rat”, is correctly spelled “Wharf Rat", “Bertha”, a favorite rocker to old time DEAD HEADS, Is sung by Garcia, not Weir. Weir’s vocals on the song are minimal. The encore, "U.S. Blues”, may have been a surprise for you, but it was certainly no surprise to me or any of my fellow DEAD HEADS. “U.S. Blues” Is one of their standard encores, along with "Johnny B. Goode", and "One More Saturday Night”, amoung others, but certainly not "St. Stephen”, or “Uncle John’s Band". In essence what I am saying is: Why do you let assholes write about the greatest rock and roll band ever? They deserve better treatment than that considering their status in the music world. I suggest that next time you need an article written about the Dead or their relatives, you should contact an informed person. I would be willing to write an article for you any time to se the Dead the embarrassment of asshole writers.

Ronald Gentile Applause, applause To the Editor: The following is a copy of a letter sent to Editor Joe Simon: I was pleased with your article on International College in yesterday’s The Spectrum. Given the complexity of the situation and the changing condition of the college, I thought your article was fair and representative. Thanks. Appeal to reason To the Editor: I promised myself that I wouldn’t contribute to the mass of editorials about Iran, but Dan Pfoltzer's article, “An Appeal to Reason" in the Nov. 15 The Other One was just loo much to bear. If we begin to believe narrow, sensationallstic views like his, this country Is lost. Pfoltzer mocks the U.S. national interest as If it were a tacky, passing fad. He considers strategic military positions and the securing of oil for Americans minor details. This warped “reasoning” is epitomized in his assertion that the U.S. wages undeclared war on Third World countries, which I assume implies Vietnam. It is people like Pfoltzer who actually believe that the tiny, unorganized armies of North Vietnam and not communist China were the motivators in the so-called “civil war”. He quotes Iranians in Iran as saying, “We want the right to self-determination.” Has he forgotten that any press releases'from Iran are reviewed by the Khomeni government first? How can you support a country's right to self-determination when the inmates are running the asylum? Lastly, Pfoltzer altadks Pres. Carter for his “selective persecution” of Iranian students In America. The "persecution” Carter has ordered all students to report to immigration authorities to update their passports so that they won't have any legal hitches In the future. To date one Iranian has been deported. Now really, Dan ... persecution? You say Carter will try to stop people like you from “telling the truth". At least you don’t have to worry that he'll cut your hands off. The Politburo in Moscow toasts to your name, Dan Pfoltzer. The welcome mat of anti-U.S. propaganda is on Iran's doorstep; Moscow eyes the next domino. Albert J. D'Aquino For peace To the Editor: As a teacher and as a community organizer, I’ve been working full-time to make our country a better place to live. I care a lot about America, but I won’t join the flag- wavers and so-called "pro-American” demonstrators. While I too condemn Iran’s taking of American I demonstrate for anything, it will be for peace and for a U.S. foreign policy that is consistent with our cherished Meals of democracy and respect for hostages, if human life.

We would also have a country which I could be genuinely proud of. Walter Simpson, Instructor Rachael Carson College Coordinator, Western New York Peace Center Labels?

This letter is in response to Mr. Keet’s (I think it’s | mister?) poor attempt to answer Mr. Lewis’ letter to the editor. First off Mr. Keet your statement that Dave Lewis’ letter did not have the backing of other S' Americans can only lead me to one conclusion; you are S totally out of touch with the events that are taking -§ place across this nation. Long before the events in Iran 5 were sensationalized and gobbled up by the press; there was a feeling of hurt and frustration on the part of Americans all across the country. I know because I felt it myself! As Paul Comitz so appropriately put it In his letter to the editor, the situation in Iran “was a kick in the ass” felt by many people across this country. I’m not writing this letter in support of the actions of the Shah (that was clever-l bet you lost sleep nights thinking it up.) or the U.S. with regards to its treatment of the Iranian people. It's documented fact that much persecution occurred and to attempt to support the incident would be irrational. This letter is a response to your psuedo-intellectual ridicule of a nationalism that is reflexive and need be so if a collection of people are to claim UNITY and RESPECT for themselves. In the past decade this country has been through a lot of humiliation in the eyes of the rest of the world—Vietnam, Watergate and Nixon, etc.. I feel what is occurring now Mr. Keet, is that the people of this country-are finally standing up to blatantly declare thaj it's time this country was no longer condemned and denounced for mistakes of the past. Especially by nations whom have performance records that are also far from perfect. It’s one thing ta have protest demonstrations against certain (policies of a government by the citizens of that country and even acceptable to have people of one nation protest against another; I would venture to say even to the extent that the Iranian students went to in taking over the U.S. embassy. But to abuse a priviledge by condemning a nation you are a guest of, from within its borders, and not expect to ruffle a few feathers is an insane thought. But back to you Mr. Keet;. to associate nationalism with Fascists and the Nazi Party is a drastic attempt to sound intelligent and I will leave it at that. As for the audacity you have to put yourself above the average American and the insults you use to E * * describe us. Just demonstrates that the "scholarly. truly liberal ideas" you possess of living happily ever after in peace and harmony, is a crock of BULLSHIT! I loved your “beautifulV “righteous” line;... I want them to have Just as much as right to come to this country and be allowed to express their political feelings In a peaceful manner... ”, a lovely thought (you really have a way with words!), but the key words in this quote are; "come to this country”. I can definitely see your rationale; that people must first leave their country—to GAIN enough political freedom—in order THAT they can demonstrate protest against the country they are visiting—in the name of the country they left. Your logic makes as much sense as the sentence I just finished writing! The main point I want to get across to you, Mr. Keet, is that you are as plastic and as phoney as they come! You claim to be able to insulate yourself from the situation and remain objective but all you end up doing is choking on your own non-spiel. You would have not used such “BOLD cliches” like "down on the farm" and "hlckish" if you were truly trying to improvethe present situation. Ai| you did was change the names and present the same SUBJECTED OPINIONATED REASONING you were trying to criticize. And what infuriates me the most is that you tried concealing it under the veil of “Intellectualism”. Yes Great-, in an effort to be an Intellectual moralizer and Oh-so liberal; you put yourself right on one of those bar stools down at Jimmy’s Grill. Next time you try being an “Angel of Mercy” for the so-called oppressed people of the world maybe you should think twice. For with friends likeyou who needs enemies. If you think that they need the help of a soulstirring "intellectual” like yourself; take another look. Mehdi Alimadian, the Iranian Student Assoc.

Pete Paooa GO GREYHOUND International College presents: SYMPOSIUM ON THE WORLD REFUGEE CRISIS What is response? the U.S. What should it be? Don’t always buy generic To the Editor: It has been brought to my attention that a NYPtRG Buy Prescription entitled "When Drugs" exists. This pamphlet suggests among many erroneous actions that whenever you get a prescription, have it filled with the least expensive generic available. Such action may be counter productive. You may be wasting your money on an ineffective dosage form. This could lead to a worsening of your original condition or a relaspe due to insufficient absorption from the dosage form. You might think that there are laws governing equivalence between brand names and generic drugs. There are also laws on the speed limit and on nearly everything in our lives. The existence of a law, without sufficient data to make intelligent comparisons protects no one. You might say that there is a N.Y.S. substitution law condoning substitution. I suggest the authors of that act were somewhat naive. The'data on which such an publication act was passed are weak and ambiguous at best. You might tell me that brand name drugs are too expensive. I say to you that although a quality generic may cost less, what you get for 1/100 the price of a brand name drug is not quality. In short, you get what you pay for. You might say that if your doctor writes for substitution, then he knows. I say to you pharmacists are in a better position to make whether a drug should be dispensed as the brand or generic. The pharmacist is better educated in these respects than is the physician. Unfortunately more data on therapeutic equivalency Is needed before even the pharmacist can be certain of these decisions.

The last time I heard Ann Although she now lives in Haskell speak was in 1976 Washington, she lived in during a lecture in her Buffalo for ten years and has Children’s Literature—Fantasy owned two houses here.When course. At the podium stood the asked what she thought about stylishly dressed woman whose long, yet black hair belied her middle-age status. Eighty students were present in a huge laboratory or lecture hall (I forget which) in the old Farber Med school. Folding wooden seats creaked resoundingly, Copy Editor long transparent rumors proved unfounded, although she djd in fact suffer from a chronic sore .throat which doctors imputed to the overuse and her voice. She returned to Washington to work for the Post’The New York Times, and The Baltimore Sun writing profiles important of people—sqch as Lawrence Farrell and Buffalo’s own Leslie Fiedler— book reviews, essays, criticism, features and other sundry, including a syndicated column and articles for' Newsweek and Time. She still holds on to her tenure here at UB where she specializes in courses such as Middie Ages, Writing, Literary Journalism and Medieval Literature. Once a week, she flies in from Washington to teach. Fighting the odds The setting of fhrbfer Med n$t inappropriate to school was begin this profile, as Haskell began her college career following a marriage and three children as a relatively ‘old’ student at Clemson University in pre-med. It was surprising enough that she was accepted into this traditionally male college—the only woman in her class—and it was astounding that she graduated at the top of that class. But she was subsequently denied entrance into Med school on the grounds that she had too many children. So she packed her bags and entered the University of Pennsylvania. In just three years, and with the help of three successive Woodrow Wilson Fellowships, she had received a PhD in English Philosophy. In 1964 she was hired as an associate professor of English at UB. Haskell maintains position at UB for the diversified life, which also has in the past rendered her a model and, at present, a blossoming novelist, she still had felt a void tubes meandered across the ceiling from wall to wall transporting some unidentifiable brown excrement to god-knows-where, and her words were muddled almost inaudible by their o>yn echo and the echos of persistent coughing throughput the room. As the semester waned toward Christmas vacation, classes were cancelled more and more frequently. “Eng 246 cancelled, Prof, ill” read the sign on the door. No one saw hide nor hair of her for some time after this, and rumor spread like wildfire that she had returned to her hometown of Washington, D.C. to commence with the act of dying of throat cancer. The family and pursuing an academic career within a maledominated society. Yet despite having lead such a [ her obvious the city of Buffalo, she replied, “When I’m away from Buffalo, I’m very defensive about it.” Another voice Besides all her professional Haskell capacities. Dr. considers herself a source” for independent women with families in college. She has lived this life herself almost since her college career began twenty years ago, her first husband having died shortly thereafter. Women come to her for advice regularly in trying to deal with the stigmas and frustrations of the double burden of raising a within her. A couple of years ago at a party, she found herself lamenting to friends over her inaccessability to a dream she’d been nurturing for some time. “Foreign intrigue” she called it, for lack of a better word. Suddenly an associate of hers, “out of the blue,” was waving a set of keys in front of her face. They were to unlock 1an ancient house in the rural area of the French Vaucluse. Through a couple of writing grants, one from UB, she was able to make the trip with just her six-year-old daughter (fourth child) for a period of 15 months. Her plan in this vestige of the fourteenth century was to gain a first hand experience of what it was like to live in those times, to bring to life all the years she’d spent imagining them over the pages of books. Haskell and her N daughter spent their days almost exclusively toiling over the chores necessary for such a selfsufficient existence. The extreme isolation (four miles from the nearest road) demanded that they perform these tasks with a high degree of skill and foresight. Wood had to be cut, enough water had to be food had to be preserved properly. Each day required an endless stream of preparations for the next. Something very real Haskell also spoke earnestly about superstitions which grew out of such a solitary existance—superstitions largely engendered through her own extensive studies on the Middle Ages. “I began to consider omens as something very real,” she said. A fallen branch barring her kitchen door, an eagle landing upon the roof of her house, and the sudden appearance of *a group of communal hippies practicing nude rituals on the side of the mountain all were cited as incidents which evoked a sense of foreshadowing and mysticism. Despite her century ...” twentieth century Alice has indeed stepped through the looking glass and found the grass greener there, and, having returned here, has left a part of herself behind. = COME SING ft RING s Choir Rohoaraala Thuradaya. 7.30 0.30 pm Boll Choir Rohoonolo Thuradaya, • pm 7 pm - - • or Sunday!, 11.45 am 12.30 pm / RUSSELL PATTERSON Miniater of Moalc UNIVERSITY PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH Main at Niagara Falla Blvd. BUSES will be on sale Nov. 28th and 29th from 7 - - 11 pn at CLEMENT DESK OUTSIDE THE GRUB NEXT TO THE ELLICOTESSEN Any questions please call 636-2497 - 836-02001 — TICKETS FOR & , For this writer it was a pleasure to find Ann Haskell still alive and teaching here at UB. And yet, as I sat there in her office in Clemens Hall, I had to wonder whether she really was ‘all there’ sitting in front of me. Listening to her speak so meticulously and enthusiastically about a day in the life of a time-transcending recluse, I couldn’t help but feel that she remains somehow unfixed in time. Perhaps this ircb HOLIDAY FLIGHTS pesonal commitment to living this experience as authentically as possible, Haskell pointed out that she never deceived herself, that in case of an emergency threatening the health of herself or her daughter she wpuld have “gladly rushed headlong back into the grms of the twentieth I X �In double sudden death overtime Checkers edges Tolchok in patriotic intramural final by Dean S. Barron Spectrum Stuff Writer possession, he almost sprung loose for a touchdown, but a dubious call by the referee ruled that he had been tagged. It appeared as though I Thanksgiving was the second feast for Checkers. Their first was on Sunday (November 18) when they defeated Tolchok II 12-6 in double sudden-death overtime to capture the UB intramural football championship. Mike Sostowski ended the game when he caught a pass from Dennis Burns in the end zone. “Why, heck, it was a great game,” Bums, the Checkers’ quarterback, commented after the winning touchdown. The contest almost ended in Tolchok’s favor. Early in the first overtime, it appeared as though Tolchok had scored on a short pass. But a referee’s whistle had called the play dead for illegal procedure—a call that even one of referees deemed the “controversial.” “I thought it was all over,” commented one Checkers’ player. “Shit, I hoped there was" a the tag was administered by a diving Tolchok player—a diving tag does not count. penalty.” An American flag posted just off the field waved throughout the game. “A championship game deserves a flag,” asserted Checkers’ Chuck Meassick. “It shows our support of the American hostages in Iran. It was agreed upon by both teams.” Shortly before the game Tolchok II chanted, “Iran sucks! Iran sucks! as Checkers and roughly 30 spectators cheered. A similar -incident occurred at Rich Stadium that same day—a banner was displayed with the words “Iran Sucks” on it. Tolchok’s defense was awesome. The unit sacked Burns seven times and intercepted him four times. Checkers’ defense was also . . excellent, recording three sacks and as many-interceptions. The difference between the two finalists was that Checkers had Meassick. He turned in a remarkable two-way effort, scoring a touchdown, intercepting two passes, and blocking three—not to mention five other pass receptions. Mike Vintiture made an catch in the final Checkers’ drive, shaking off an inconsistent game. Defensively, Bill Shoe turned in an outstanding performance. Had it not been for the great pressure Tolchok’s defensive linemen Bob Sasl&wsky and Mike Viscosi' applied, the first half might not have ended in a scoreless tie. important Checkers consistently beat Tolchok on long pass routes, but Bums was not given the time to fire accurately. “There’s only one strategy change we will have in the second half,” Checkers’ Tom VanGordcr indicated during halftime,” —we’ll get points.” Meassick took control in the second half. On Checkers’ first First points Meassick was not to be denied. He intercepted the ball on Tolchok’s subsequent possession and scored the game’s first touchdown three plays later. Tolchok II foiled Checkers’ bid for the point after. Late in the half, when it looked as if Checkers would hang on for a shut-out victory, Tolchok wrested the initiative with three successive long gains. Ken Keas stopped a Tolchok completion for no gain on fourth down, but quarterback Oanny Clabeaux completed a touchdown pass to Brian Frazier on fifth down.' “They tried to play me man-to -man,” Frazier noted, “but the ball was there.” A solid pass rush by Checkers prevented Tolchok from scoring what would have been the winning point after, forcing overtime. Checkers erupted the instaht the winning points were scored. Tolchok withdrew dejectedly as the Checkers’ players mobbed each other on the muddy field.' “We tried every play—with no stops,” a jubilant Meassick recounted. “The flag inspired us.” “They played one hell of a game,” he continued, having caught his breath. “I’d be willing to take these two teams and play the rest of the league.” Checkers then transferred its early Thanksgiving celebration to Main Street’s Checkers bar. 4th ANNUAL HOLIDAY EXHIBIT and SALE � * * POTTERY '* JEWELRY CANDLES WEAVING � BATIK � PHOTOGRAPHS * WEDNESDAY S THURSDAY (Nov. 28th and 29th) 1:00 — 5:00 pm CREATIVE CRAFT CENTER 120 MFAC Ellicott Complex Amherst Campus * } 636-2201 I * *’kir-kirit-kir-k-kiririr.irk'kirkirkirk'k'k*'**'k'k*'k'kirifirkirkirkirk-k-k-k'kirk-kirkirkirkitifirkirkitirkirkitirkirkirifkirkirirkirkirkkirkirk'ir . J �' •• I — ' r f ' V ■> 1 J ' tm 0 ■» ' Kathy Brown looks ready lor her first monster movie The swimming Royals may be good enough to scare Swim Royals dive into new season confident by Carlos Vallarino Sports Editor A stereo is only as good as its components. A swimming team is only as good as the individuals who comprise it. In that respecl.the Royals should make alot of noise this year—for the first time in the last few years they have quality components. “This year’s team is probably the best since I’ve been here,” appraised third-year coach Pam Noakes. “The year before I came here (1976-77) UB was something like 1-11. Last year we got into the New York State Championships for the first time in 10 years.” If spirit and attitudeqount for anything, the Royals can look forward to mounds of success. “We’re going to do real well,” claimed Amy Brisson, the Royals’ star performer. “We lost only two seniors from last year and we’ve gained some freshmeij. You can tell they’ve got a lot of experience.” Noakes has introduced a different type of workout this year, which may solve the problem that specialization brings on—namely strength in certain areas and weakness in others. “We’ve worked on fundamentals and variety so that they learn more than jiffi their specialty. Hopefully it ’ll. transfer into £heir specialty,” she said." ' The main reason that the Royals expect to be successful is the abundant talent. The top returnee is Brisson, the outstanding free styler who as a freshman last year set varsity records in 10 events and was the New York State champion in 100-free and 200-free. No Joke “She is the first retd good swimmer who’s come here in the last few years—she has started the ball rolling for us,” commented Noakes referring to the Royals’ turnabound from a perennial joke to a more than respectable 6-4 in 1978-79, The sophomore Engineering major will not let up in her second season. “I want to do better,” Brisson said. The Division III Royals may be held back by a tougher schedule, which this year includes more Division I and II schools than last season. Noakes, however, does not express much concern about the stiffer competition. “Last year we lost four meets to Division II schools,” the coach indicated. “And we play three of them again this season. We should do well.” Another holdover from last year is sophomore Holly Becker, the Royals’ top breaststroker who moonlights as a football cheerleader. “She holds (UB) records in every breaststroke event,” Noakes explained. “Holly is the kind of kid we get a lot of here—a good but not great swimmer in high school.” New talent will aid this year’s Royals, primarily in the person of freshman Kay- Simonson. A backstroke expert, Simonson has already broken two intrasquad records. But her main asset is her endurance. “She’s one of our hardest workers,” Noakes praised. “She puts in double workouts, she pushes herself in practice—it’s good,for the others to see her because it makes them work harder too.” One who has setn the hard times and is glad to see leaner days is senior Kathy Brown. “The biggest thing is team spirit. We’re all real close and that’ll help,” Brown revealed. The Royals’ first test will be Saturday, when the team will travel to Potsdam for a dual meet against host Potsdam State and Binghamton State. The Royals were defeated by Potsdam last season in a one-point heartbreaker, and the feeling of revenge has become prevalent on the Royals’ minds. “The last relay decided the winner,” related Brisson of last year’s Potsdam meet. “The judges decided that they touched first so they won. We thought we’d won. But this year we’ll beat them because of our experienced people who’ll bring in the extra points.” Brown had a less subtle reason for predicting a victory—“We hate .everyone’s ready for them.” Potsdam STARTS FRIDAY: The Niagara Purple Eagles will host the UB basketball Bulls Friday evening at 8 p.m. as the 1979-80 cage season tips oft.

The distinction is important. Up to certain levels, some anxiety facilitates performance, but beyond that it can cause problems," says Dr. Fred Lighthall, who made a special study of pupils in the Vail Ski School. In becoming aware that you are afraid, the first thing to determine 'is whether the fear is warranted or unwarranted. If common sense tells you that fear arises from being on a slope so steep you can t handle it, for example, or because too many skiers are on the hill to ensure safety, then the obvious thing to do is to take practical steps to remove yourself from the slope. That is healthy fear. But the kind of fear experienced by a great many skiers is unwarranted. "Heightened anxiety increases muscular tension," says Dr. Lighthall, and since a relaxed muscle position is desirable for iniating maneuvers, such anxiety is detrimental to learning and disruptive when induced earlv in the learning of a skill rather than later." Symptoms of fear include a hunching of the shoulders, irregular breathing, a stiff neck, hands tightly gripping the poles, weakness in the legs, perspiring. "You should try to detect fear as soon as it arises." advises internationally known psychologist R. Moneim El-Meligi, "then immediately sav to yourself I'm going to take care of it'. Allow 15-20 seconds to get yourself in the driver’s seat. Breathe with deep sighs, as if of relief. Close your eyes as you sigh. Concentrate on the specific areas of bodv tension. For instance, relax tightly clutched hands, or pull back shoulders. Give the message to the body part to relax. Stroke your closed eyes.—a trick known for centuries by primitive people who are aware that the eyes are a'center of tension." Beat von Allman, former Swiss Olympian, maintains that he was always afraid before a race. "When I felt really frightened of course—especially the downhills—I just told myself to get forward more/' hesays. "You can't fall if your body is forward over your skis." Another skier who takes a two week ski vacation every year claims that by the fourth to sixth day his skiing gets worse and worse and he becomes afraid of steeper slopes. "After a few years of this nonsense 1 realized that this Is a plateau that will soon pass—if I can just stay relaxed through it. Now, if I ski during that period, 1 do so without great expectations. 1 may even take a day or two off anti see the town or countryside, or play tennis and swim. Then, when 1 go hack', I feel like a conqueror again." SKl s technical editor, John Perryman, has a strong faith in equipment knowledge as one technique to help overcome fear. "If you know your bindings and how they work, and you know they are in good yepair, you can have confidence that they will function when you need them, .' he says. An Alta ski patroller, who is an M.D. in real life, advises: “If you are on a very steep slope or one that seems too steep for your ability, look just one or two feet in front of you or to the side. Don't look at the distance 10 or 20 feet or farther away. That’s steep. Right around you is almost level." Aerialist Corky Fowler maintains that you can think your yvay out of tear. After two very serious accidents, Fowler says, "1 was more than just normally afraid—which I am each lime 1 jump—and I tried to hide it, resist it. Then I found that if I could just sit quietly, turn all my other machinery off, I could get pictures of an accident. I started looking at all the reasons I had for not jumping. Strangely enough, the more honest I was about it and the more I looked at the pictures of falling, the more the fear disappeared." Now Corky says he can quickly review a maneuver before he does it. This is done in a split second of time. When he sees it clearly and completely, he goes for it. It's an approach many athletes use. Some anxiety can be so extreme that it requires more than self-help, bordering on the abnormal. But it does exist among people who otherwise like to ski, and who would like to correct it. Agoraphobia—fear of being in open spaces—and acrophobia—fear of heights—are cases in point. Large numbers of people suffer varying degrees of both. One approach to reducing such fears, says Dr, El-Meligi, is desensitizalion, a form of behavior therapy. In its simplest application, the cure consists of subjecting the skier to steadily increasing exposure to heights, in the case of acrophobia. Tolerance can be developed by rewarding success in coping. Children, for instance, can be rewarded with ~ ' J — candv. Another approach is to project films featuring great heights, have the skier live through the feeling of fear in his imagination, then describe the tear openly. Hypnotherapy can also be very useful in curing fear of height. "Frequently," says Dr. El-Meligi, "the fear may not really have its source in the physical situation, but may be a transference of fear from some prior anxiety having nothing to do awith skiing. Fear of falling, in fart, may really represent a fear of failing in a life situation." Spatial perception also can contribute to unnecessary anxiety, says Dr. El-Meligi, who is author of the perceptual test, the Experiential World Inventory. "Young people who have used drugs may be particularly prone to suffering perceptual distortions. Perception is critical in skiing. Unlike the airplane pilot who has instruments to help him the skier has only his own perception of the hill to guide him. It is critical." reprinted with permission from Ski Magazine, p.6S, Vol.-39, No. 4,1974 IS By M,irh Ski SCh'KV Di/et.loi K.ss mg B>K3ge Use the downstem in moguls: intermediate skiers trial use a stepping or stemming action to initiate turns <K wiM find it advantageous to stem the Joarnhiii ski wheft skiing in moguls This move will provide several advan tages 1 The downslemmed ski will provide a piattorm that will allow a good solid push onto the new turning ski 2 The downstem brak'og action can cause-a moderate to prevent too much acceleration 3 Oownstemmmg can help eliminate the dramatic undesitpd up -motion usually associated with stemming the uphill ski Ski 8 day or nights Kissing B for only *40 e up to $60 off. regular price. ly eight non-holiday weekdays, lay thru Friday 9 a m.-5 p m., or thru Thursday night 5 p.m.m , for only $40 at Kissing je With your own book of eight <ons you choose the day or night 'ant to ski!

Compact skis are wider still definition; that there is now f Mid-length is a slippery term. Some manufacturers apply it to skis built in 160 to 190cm lengths, and some build "mid-lqpgths ' as long as 203 cm. Some say mid-length means 10cm above head height. Since 10 centimeters is enough to make a significant difference in ski peril rmanee, it’s important that you understand what mid-length mea is before you go shopping. Ot iginally, skis were built in one length only: long or "conventional," or racing length—typically 205 to 210cm for an average-size adult male. The popularization of the Graduated Length Method brought with it a generation of short skis, typically 175cm for an adult male. But a 180 pound skier on a 175cm ski often meant a broken ski, so as short-&kl trend lasted about as lung as the average warranty policy. Then ski factories introduced the slightly longer and stronger "compact" models, designed to be skied at 185cm for qn average adult male. Some companies referred to the compacts as "mid-lengths," but in the past yfear the term mid-length has come to mean an even longer ski—somewhere between compacts and racing lengths. "A skier who would use a 20Scrh slalom ski and a 185cm compact ski would now choose a 195cm mid-length," explains Dynastar's David Stewart.

Of course, it's never a good idea to push yourself too hard at the beginning of the season and frequent rests are recommended. �".m Clothing A lesson on loft, looks, and labels by Susan McCoy styles, fabrics and designs all make for excitement in skiwear. Yet, ultimately, it’s what’sinside that counts—it’s the insulation that determines comfort, as well as the price of the garment. The purpose of any insulation is to stop or slow down the flow of Mat from your body. The best insulator is air. The basic function, then of any insulation is to trap that warmed air. As a general rule, the higher the loft (puffiness) of an insulation, the more effectively it will trap dead air. Many new insulations have come onto the marketplace Under a myriad of trade names. Garments this season carry tags that read anything from down and percentages of such to Polar Guard, Dacron Hollofil II, LePouf, Poly Bulk, Poly Bulk Soft, Hot Fill, Thermoslim Plus, Poly Down (a combination of polyester and down), Thinsulate and Polyslim. The insulation picture can be a confusing one, but it doesn't have to be. What's important is that you choose a garment that will keep you warm when and whereyou ski. It follows that if you ski mainly in New England during January and February, you’ll need a warmer garment than you would in the Rockies in March. Basically, most skiwear insulations fall, into two categories: down and the polyesters, each with distinct advantages and disadvantages, Neoprene, is the third major skiwear insulation. For the purist, down will always be the ultimate insulator, The fluffy, soft material found on the underside of ducks and geese, down is breathable, resilient, wind resistant, lightweight,'long wearing and takes minimal care. When buying a down jacket, however, be sure to read the label. A 100 percent down garment, to begin with, is not commercially available. Rather, for a label to read "down" the insulation must consist of 70 percent down cluster, 10 Colors, percent down fiber, a maximum of 18 percent feathers and 2 percent residue. If the content of down clusters does hot meet these standards, the label must say so That is not to say that a laliel that reads 80/20 indicates an inferior garment. What it means is that the garment is not legally “down” and cannot be sold as such. Down-like polyesters such as Celanese's PolarGuard and DuPont’s Dacron Hollofil II, are the closest to down in insulating properties and characteristics. One advantage they hare is that they retain their loft even while wet, and in doing so, their capacity to trap insulating air. Many high-loft polyesters also offer more design possibilities than down, since the necessity for quilting (to hold the down clusters in place) is eliminated. "Needlepunch" polyester synthetics are made of polyester fibers punched through a thin piece of material, creating millions of air pockets to trap air. These are the ’’fashion’’ insulations, draping well on the body and offering a slim flattering silhouette. One advantage of the needlepunch is that it's matt-resistant. It is also non-allergenic (as are all the synthetics) and since it is free-hanging inside the shell fabric of the garment, two pockets of warm, insulating air are created between the shell and the insulation. Thinsulate-brand thermal insulation consists of a batting of extremely fine fibers which offer high insulation value per unit of thickness. The microscopic fibers provide plenty of surface areas to trap air. It is also soft, lightweight, and conforms closely to the body. Finally, when choosing a ski parka or suit, it's always a g6od Idea to buy a recognized brand—you’ll benefit from the tim? and money the major skiwear suppliers have put into testing the construction, insulation and detailing of their garments. vr r^GOMGTOBE o a ° ■ . 0 a 3 0 “ by Gerry Bereziuk &. mtm (O’ - *3t- 0 ” a jacket provide the answer for the person who wants to look stay warm.

And how warm you are depends a lot on how you dress. The key to being warm in the Cold is LAYERS, no matter what activity—skier, snowshoer, participant or spectator. The? concept of layers is tied to the way your body works. Your body wants to maintain a constant inner temperature of 98.6°F. If the body is cold, because of too little protection, it restricts blood flow to the skin and extremities. This retains the heat supply to vital organs. If that isn’t enough help, the body begins to shiver. That’s the time to add more clothing. If the body becomes too warm, it increases blood flow to the skin to release heat. If it continues to overheat, it gives off heat through evaporation by sweating. Sweating dampens clothing and leads to chilling. If this happens it’s time to remove some garments. There are three types of layers. The inner layer insulates and helps absorb perspiration from the skin's surface. Fishnet and flow-through synthetic underwear let the moisture escape outward; wool and wool-blends work by absorbing it. The middle layer acts as an insulator. Using several layers will be. the most flexible way to suit a variety of activities and weather conditions. Any type of fabric, except one made with cotton, will work well. The outer layer repels wind and ' I moisture. Clothes made of wbol, nylon, and polyester are best. For downhill skiing, underwear is a must: both tops jnd bottoms. No matter where you ski, there's always a chance the temperature will drop. Fishnet underwear, with its hundreds of tiny air pockets, is the best insulator. Stay away from cotton and cotton-blends; they absorb moisture quickly and hold it for a long time. Add one or two turtlenecks.. The snug fit blocks the wind.Buy cotton t-necks if you want maximum absorbency and comfort, synthetics for color and easiest care. A tightly knit, heavy wool sweater over your turtleneck is the next step. The tight knit traps air and wool is warm even when it’s wet. Top the sweater with a shirt of wind-breaking material and wear a ski parka or vest, defending on the weather. Overalls will be warmer than regular ski pants. They protect the stomach and chest area where the body generates a lot of heat. You can add to or subtract layers according to your needs. Wear a snug hat that covers your ears. You lose 75 percent of your body heat through your head. Mittens are warmer than gloves. They expose less of your hands to the cold. Gloves give you more freedom of movement. Whatever you decide, down is the best insulation.

Ski goggles are important. On really chilly days use a wool scarf and a special face mask to guard against frostbite. Apply a protective skin' cream or sun bkxpl for extra protection. Cross-country skiers face the challenge of a variety of weather, activity levels and terrain. They need clothes that will keep them dry, protect them from windchill, and allow plenty of movement. Jeans may work, but only knickers provide the leg freedom necessary. A bib-style knicker will help prevent snow and wind penetration. . J , Complimented with knee socks, any knicker style works well. Socks should have a high wool content and be changed when wet. In really cold weather, pull a pair of extra large wool socks over your ski shoes for extra warmth. Vour shoes should still fit your bindings. Gaiters will keep your socks and boots dry when you ski through deep snow. The lighter and the more water and windresistant your jacketis the better. It should fit over several layers without binding or retarding arm movement. Nylon shells are fine. Your style of skiing determines the kind of hat and gloves you’ll wear. An active skier in moderate weather will need a lighweight glove with a leather or vinyl palm and a light hat or headband. For a slower paced skier or extreme cold a heavier weight wool mitten and hat is advisable. Wear sunglasses to protect your eyes on bright days and use a skin cream or sunblock. A fanny pack—a zipper pouch that fastens around your waist and is worn in back—is useful for storing wax, socks, snacks and sundry items. Wear everything the first ten minutes on the trail. Just before you begin to perspire, remove the of clothes that will keep you dry. Stuff the extras in your pack or tie them around your waist. amount When you stop to eat or rest, you'll have to put everything back on and even add clothes to avoid a chill.

There are few maioi technical breakthroughs this year, just solid improvements in skis, boots, poles and bindings, continued advancements in waxless ski design and a wider variety of top performance boot and binding combinations. Cross-country ski gear enters the 80's with more and more specialized designs for a sport that now includes more than just hiking on the flats. Newcomers to cross-country skiing often think of it as a sport requiring one type of ski, boot, pole and binding. While this may have been true years ago, today’s advancements in cross-country skiing have led to the development of special equipment for each skier's needs: touring, performance skiing. Touring is still the most popular form of cross-county skiing and it requires wider, more stable skis, heavier boots, poles and bindings for use in untracked snow conditions. Performance skiing in well-prepared tracks is growing rapidly, and what the aggressive track skier needs are skis that are light and lively, low-cut lightweight boots and poles that are also lightweight but stiff. No matter what type of skiing you enjoy, there is more high quality equipment available this season than ever before-equipment designed and refined for specific uses by performance-conscious cross-country skiers. TOURING: Gear for the untracked Everyone from kindergarten age to octogenarian can enjoy the freedom and variety of ski touring. U-ip Tours through the- woods or overnight backpacking, to a solo shuffle through a field in the winter countryside. Skiers who -are newcomers to cross-country or those who prefer untracked skiing generally select louring equipment. Touring skis are wider for stability, boots are cut higher to keep snow out, poles heavier to support skiers with backpacks and bindings sturdier to withstand twisting forces while turning. Skis; Wider for support Here are a few ponters when shopping for touring skis. A touring ski should be fairly rigid at the tip and tail for easy maneuverability through rough crust and slush. The ski’s camber should be soft in order to press the ski down into light, untracked snow for traction. The choice between waxless and waxable skis will depend on the type of snow you most often encounter on a tour in your region. Waxing is difficult and timeconsuming in areas that generally have wet snow, so many skiers in these regions prefer waxless skis. A waxable ski, on the other hand, generally performs better in colder areas that have dry snow. The best bet is to rent skis beforeyou buy, to see which type of ski is best suited to your needs. Prices for quality touring skis range from $80 to $100. The wider, touring ski gives added support in deep and untracked snow. Touring skis vary from 50 mm to 55 mm in width. A ski with sidecut is wider across at the tip and tail than at the waist. A parallel ski—one without sidecut—is the same width from tip to tail. Popular touring skis with sidecut include the Rossignol Touring and Caribou models, wahich have a wide 10mm flare from waist to lip and another 5mm from waist to tail Fischer's HC model, also with sidecut (59-50-54mm), is ideal for backpacking and off-trail skiing. In a somewhat wider mid-width range are the Elan RB-T, Asnes T53, Splitkein Touring Bonna 2000 and Epole 2000, all 53mm wide. Edsbyn's 51mm skis are called MT, signifying their (mid-touring) width. Wider touring skis with sidecut range from 54mm to 56mm in width. Skilom’s 188 has a waist measuement of 56mm; Silva's Carrera and Fox models both use a 60-54-56mm sidecut. The Fox model is unique because it is the pnfy; touring ski on the market designed exclusively for women. The camber is softer on these skis, which makes them more manageable for lightweight women skier. In parallel-cut skis for touring, ther is a variety of models ranging from a 50mm to 55mm in midpoint width. The Atomic Touring measures 51mm, the Karhu Touring 52mm, the Kneissl Touring 50mm, and the wider Kneissl Touring W and the Adidas SL55 artf 55mm from tip to tail. Most of these skis, whether parallel-cut or designed with sidecut, use a polyethylene base (called variously P-tex, Kofix or Fastex). Polyethylene bases are durable, fast and may be repaired easily if damaged. Supernabutene, a durable base material made of ABS plastic, is used on most Rossignol touring skis. There was a.time when waxless touring skis were . looked down upon by ski touring purists. No more. In regions where time spent waxing is time lost from skiing, waxless skis have become the standard. In areas like Oregon and Washington where skiers tour through mush one minute and powder, crust and ice moments later, no single wax', or combination of waxes, will work effectively. With waxless skis, skiers spend less time trying to come up with the correct wax and more time skiing. Waxless touring skis come in many of base types ihscale. mohair * - diamond, armadillo, multi-step, mica and waxless plastic inserts. While these patters give a different performance in different snow conditions, motg are designed to solve waxing problems when the snow is at the trasitioflal stage and the temperature is around freezing.

PERFORMANCE SKIING: Lightweight fun After the breakthrough of crosscountry fiberglass skis in 1974, the sport underwent dramatic changes, people tried skinny skis for the first time for fun and fitness and were hooked, more prepared tracks and trails were established in North America, and skiers clamored for high-performance skis. A few years ago, the term light touring ski" meant a slightly lighter version of the traditional general touring ski. But skiers soon found that lightweight skis were more fun to use on prepared tracks. Interest in foam to slightly heavier polyurethane foam or wood with air or foam channels. Skis are made by a variety processes; of construction sandwich, infection molding or torsion box. In the $80 to $100 range, there are many excellent waxable performance models available. The Edsbylon (a hard, thermal plastic) topsheet and a rounded, shorter ski tip, designed to protect skiers against injury if they fall on the tip. Kneissl’s Touring ski, also with a rounded tip, is also light 11600 50mm grams), wide and incorporates double camber, promoting better glide in prepared lovett Running, also 49mm wide, Fischer SL and the torsion-box incorporates soft tip and tail flex Epoke 700.

Both the Bonna 1600 waith the new kastle T-step waxless high-performance equipment also spurred renewed interest in waxing to maximize ski performance. Soon skiers who lived in areas where the snow conditions changed frequently or those who preferred a no-fuss waxless base also had a few high-performance skiers. The designation of “light touring" skis and equipment has been changed to "performance." tracks. Light, thin, flexy Performance skis are lighter weight (1400 to 1700 grams), thinner (44mm to 49mm at the waist), with a more flexible tip and softer tail than general touring skis, some popular performance skis come with an exaggerated or slight sidecut to facilitate turning, others have none.

The ski is 46mm wide from tip to tail and is designed for advanced intermediate skiers. Boots: Switch to synthetics Performance boots are gradually being redesigned to meet new Norm standards, but the conversion has been slow. Sales of traditional 75mm Nordic Norm boots still dominate over Touring Norm 50, Racing Norm 50 and the Adidas System 38mm boots. Increasing material costs have boosted prices for cross-country boots dramatically. Boots that were $50 last year will now sell for $60 or more. Part of the problem is increasing leather costs and higher import duties on some imported footwear items. To reduce the price squeeze, more U.S.-made brands are coming into the cross-country market, and more manufacturers are, using synthetics instead of leather in boot construction. But bools this year include refinements that make them better buys. Look for boots that are torsionally stiffer (less twisting) than in past years and with a grooved heel for support when turning and skiing downhills. Also look for boots with warm, comfortable nylon and leather convination uppers and those with extra insulating foam. Most who ski the tracks prefer unliried boots because they allow the feet to breathe and expel excell moisture that builds up (luring an active tour. In unlined 75mm boots, the Fabiano 298 has shank for added torsional rigidity and a grooved heel for extra stability.

It might be one dog pulling a skier at a gentle steady pace over a snow can improve what kind of your skiing, skis you own. It’s really not as difficult or as complicated as it seems. A bit of ski anatomy will explain the "why" of waxing. A crosscountry ski is divided into three parts: the middle or kick zone, the tip and the tail. The tips and tails support your weight. Glider wax, a hard wax like paraffin is applied here. It reduces the friction between the ski bottom and snow, protecting the ski and allowing you to ski faster. Even waxless skis benefit from a coat. Kicker or grip wax is applied to the kick area of the ski. Taking a step forces this portion of the ski down, and the wax (or the patterned area on waxless skis) grabs the snow, letting you move forward. The first step in waxing is to find a workbench. Two kitchen chairs will do. Cover them and the floor with newspaper. Lay your skiis across, bottoms up. You'll need something to melt the wax. A household iron, set midway in the synthetic range will do the job. If it doubles as the clothing iron, wrap it in tinfoil first. A hair dryer works too, or you can buy a special waxing iron. Remove old wax by using a wax solvent. Or heat portions of the ski base with the iron and wipe awith a rag or paper towel. Now your clean skis are ready for a coat of glider wax. Heat the bottoms with a slow back and forth motion of the iron, being careful not to scorch the base. Warming opens up the pores of the ski. This helps the wax and bottom to form a better bond. When the ski is hot to the touch, melt a little wax by no matter KEEP YOUR BALANCE IN VARYING TERRAIN By John Wiggln, Director, Woodstock Ski Touring Center, Woodstock, Vt. To maintain a balanced body position for downhill gliding, crouch slightly with the knees on the heel and ball of the foot (A). If the terrain suddenly steepens, rock forward slightly to keep up with the accelerating ski. If the hill quickly flattens out, rock slightly back at the instant it flattens. Another technique for maintaining balance during an abrupt terrain change is the modified telemark position (B). In this case, the slope transition becomes less abrupt by reason of the skier spreading skis and body weight over a longer distance. Poles should be held to the side to function as outriggers and can be poked into the snow, as needed, to maintain lateral balance If you're sliding on the snow, here's a few tips which will help. Apply grip wax to a larger area. This makes more of the ski bottom bite into the snow. Apply another layer of the same color wax, but don’t cork it out. The uneveness grabs the snow better. Crayon on the next softest wax. For example, try purple if you're Before you ski, scrape off all visible glider wax. Smooth out what is left with a waxing cork, until the ski base is sleek, and shiny. Use the corner of the scraper to clean out the grooves. using blue. This gives a better kick. How often do you wax? Kicker should be scraped off and replaced at the beginning of each tour. Carry some wax and a cork with you on the trail. Conditions may vary during the day. Icy snow removes wax quickly. Whenever the ski bases appear dry or hairy, (like the bottoms of brand new skis) its time to re-apply the glider wax. Choose the kicker wax according the snow conditions. Hard waxes, like green and blue, are used when the air temperature drops below freezing. The softer, stickier waxes work when it’s The increase in versatility and performance gained by waxing your skis makes the time and effort it takes more than worth the trouble. Try it.

For skiers who prefer extra wanpth in a low-cut boot, Skilom’s 75 mm Oslo comes with fleecelining, as do the Tyrol Blazer and Heierling Marathon. The Norrona 1090 is a high-cut lined boot. This season the skier will find many new Touring Norm 50 models, designed to eventually replace the 75mm Norm for performance skiing. Touring Norm 50 boots use 12mm thick soles, 50mm in widthr and fit 50mm standard three-pin bindings. The narrower binding waorks well for on-track skiing, prividing the skier with greater forward foot lift because of the slightly elongated toe piece on each boot. The big question centering on the Touring Norm 50 boot has been torsional rigidity, the ability of the boot to remain stiff rather than twist dirint hard use. Most ski boot manufacturers are now designing these new Norm boots using the stiffest rubber, polyurethane and TPR soles with new shank materials to provide as much torsional rigidity as 75mm, Racing NorimSO and Adidas System 38mm boots. Here are a few of the Touring Norm models skiers will find in the shops this year; The Alpina Hilite has a synthetic "polyflex" upper and polyurethane sole, The norski Tarn features a full-frain leather upper and rubber sole. Silva’s mora has a waterresistant ,unlined leather tipper with injected polyurethane sole. The Summit Marquette, with leather upper, features a neoprene sole and foam-covered leather lining for warmth. The Haugen Appalachia 50 with pile lining, uses a split leather upper and rubber sole, the Trak Alberta is an unliried leather boot with a TPR sole. Alpina’s Erik is a fleecelined leather boot with a polyurethane sole. Heterling’s Engadin has a combination nylon and leather upper awith a terrycloth-leather lining and polyurethane sole. Although the skier will see fewer new Racing Norm and Adidas 38mm System boots this season, these boot models offer significant advantages for the performance skier. They are unrivaled for torsional stability, with their hard 7mm plastic soles, and they offer maximum lateral stability because of their snug fit when used waith their companion bindings. The plastic soles give the performance skier the greatest freedom of it for forward lift, Adidas was the first to introduce the narrow, extended-toe boot design and more Adidas System 38mm boots are in the offing this year. There will be a low and highcut version of the popular Lake Placid boot, both models made with synthetic—leather kangaron—an excellent material for cold and wetweather skiing. In Racing Norm boots, Adidas also offers the all-leather Seefeld. Suveren's leather Falun model comes- in three color combinations and has become a popular Racing Norm model for performance skiers.

Given these conditions, and assuming we're not willing to stay inside all winter it pays to devote some thought to keeping warm and avoiding injuries on those "50 below with the windchill" days. Our bodies have many ways to deal with cold. One thing our bodies do is to bum more calories. That makes sense if you think about . . . sort of like burning oil to heat a house. We can visualize this on a graph-of how hot and cold are handled by humans: *1 *f 3I jrl, -Wo* HtufiOAfmj' Now think for a second. If you owned a house, what else might you do to help keep it warm at a reasonable cost? Insulate? Yes. Cut off heat to spare rooms? Yes, Well, if we rule out gaining fat (we're talking about short periods of time) our bodies can’t db very much about insulating from the outside. They can make hairs stand on end. Not such a big help. But they carj.cut off heat to spare rooms! How? By restricting blood flow to the skin and extremities (thereby cutting heat loss by convection and making the skin more effective as insulation). A simplified view of the physiological response- looks Something like this. When they're cold, thermoreceptors (termperature sensitive nerve cells) send messages to the brain. The brain then reduces blood flow to the hands and feet in an attempt to preserve heat for the vital organs. As a result, the hands and feet are worse off then they were before. It was bad enough that they were cold, now they get less blood as well. Fortunately, we can help our bodies out with each of these cold responses. To get extra fuel, for calories to bum, we can just eat more (although for most of us that won’t be a problem). If we need more insulation, we can wear heavier sweats, even an old jacket. One key point here is to reduce air infiltration by sealing off gapsaround the neck, wrists and ankles. Especially important is to wear something on your head. Why? Remember that the head is one of the places that's going to get a lot of blood (therefore alot of convective heat) no matter how cold it is out. Heat will be lost from the head unless we help by insulating there—wearing a hat, or hood dr both. How about the hands and feet? Well, we can periodically make squeezing motions to maintain circulation in the hands and we can wear thick socks and gloves. Socks are even a nice substitute for gloves. They can be rolled up over the sleeves to cut out the wind and, unlike gloves, most people won t have a prpblem finding their only pair. There is another response our bodies make that's worth looking at. Muscle tone/increases (we tighten up) as a sort of prelude to shivering. This is important because in this condition we have an increased risk of pulling muscles. We can decrease this risk by: 1) warming up before going outside, and 2) not pushing too hard during a run. As obvious as this sounds, there are still alot of pulled muscles in cold weather that could be easily prevented. Let's leave this cold stuff for a while and talk about shoes. Some shoes are better than others in snow . . . especially, the new waffle sole shoes (originally marketed by Nike), They reduce slipping and sliding markedly. With the shoe market booming, most runners will be able to find a pair that will agree with their feet. 1 highly recommend them to anybody who has a problem getting traction on ice and snow, especially the lighter runners, waho always seem to have the most traction trouble. In addition, most runners will find it useful to have an extra pair of "mudders"—for when the first choice shoes are wet from the day before. What these “mudders” are will be determined in part by available funds. But one thing is certain it is better to run in dry J C. Penney or K-Marl shoes than in wet and cold $50 Adidas. Alright. Now that we're covered the basics of beating the cold, let s add a little logic. When snow running, run with someone if possible, don’t get as tar from home as you would in good weather, make sure that traffic can distinguish you from a snowman and always carry money with you, "just in case.". Keep in mind places where you can stop andjtetjjvarm along the frostbite on way. Although it is unlikely that you will have a it. short runs, learn what it is and how to treat Remember, none of the physiology 1 have described is as simple as it sounds, In snow Tunning we are mixing the effects ot cold and exercise. We only looked at things from the cold point ol view. So you might want to do some your own. The more knowledgeable you are the more ... reading on likely yoware to avoid a problem. Finally; there are times awhen you just have to admit to yourself that it s loo cold to go out and run. Don't waste those days. Jump rope, do calisthenics, run stairs and hallways . . . anything.

It will also permit the Co-op—located in the basement of Squire Hall—to expand its services beyond the current -14 hours per week. Although the new hours will not be determined until the Co-op staff meets aiext week, Calder said the new schedule might be as much as five hours longer. While the decision is a victory for UB students, the news is not as good as Calder had hoped when he met with Ketter November 2. Backed by SA Lawyer Richard Lippes’ assertion that a raise in the limits would not alter the litigation the Co-op has been mired in since January 1976, Catder asked Ketter to return the Co-op to pre-limit sales levels. But Ketter, with other legal opinions available to him, fell otherwise. According to Calder, Ketter claimed $26,000 sales and $80,000 inventory limits would damage UB’s chances of winning the long delayed case. The Record Co-op was selling nearly a quarter of a million dollars of albums and tapes a year when record chain ownerCarl Cavage filed his complaint in October 1975. Cavage, who at the lime owned a record store in University Plaza, claimed the Co-op was unfair competition because it was subsidized by public funds. UB Vice President for Finance and Management Edward W. Doty ordered the Co-op to close as of November 7, 1975, claiming its legality “has been marginal at best,” but Ketter agreed to let the Co-op rc-open under strict guidelines—a $10,000 sales limit and a $22,000 inventory limit. «* I he first raise in the limiis—an inflationary itfcrcO'c that came last year—upped the sales ccilinjc to SI2.0W and tire inventory ceiling to 26,400. Nrm t alder believes. Kciter'fwis raised the limiis because o! an csiciisivc lobbying effort by SA. In the past, he said, the Co-op worked on its own, and without results. l awsuit delayed ketter’s decision will again permit the Co-op to advertise, opening an avenue of publicity for it that had been closed since its glory years. The ads, however, may not contain any prices or notice of sales. And they may be placed only in the three campus newspapers. Prospects for the lawsuit, Calder explained, are not good. Lippes tried to negotiate an out of court settlement last year, but his efforts collapsed late last semester. “The Co-op felt they had given it enough time,” Calder said. “They didn’t feel they were getting anywhere.” Cavage’s lawyers are currently conducting "discovery procedures,” which involve requesting depositions from Keller and Doty. The case, slowed by legal haranguing, may not reach trial in State Supreme Court for more than two years, Lippes said. Calder said Ketter’s decision—a rare one in the students’ favor —was probably not motivated by the evaluation of him that is now underway. “He is not solcly.doing this to improve his public image." Calder noted. “If he was, he would’ve granted us an increase before the referendum and before the evaluation team came on campus.” Ketter agreed to relax the limits a week after Calder’s November 7, 1979 memo that showed the Co-op was not “serving the students at its full potential,” Calder said. The memo—ironically dated four years after the C o-op closing—pointed out that the Co-op had sunk from an A ranking among distributors (top priority for new releases) to an E ranking, the lowest notch. Ketter has agreed to review the agreement after a three-month period and may grant another increase at that time, according to Calder. “He wants to see the | effect.” ' by Mark Mellzer i Two-year old Intern f , 1C II hurt by lack offunds by Joe Simon Campus Editor As the youngest College—and perhaps the most vulnerable because of its youth—International College is working towards stabilizing what so far amounts to a shakey two-year \ existence. Beyond conflicts over both identity and goals. International College has been hit by the financial crunch which has affected practically every facet of this University. But the fiscal woes suffered by International College go deeper, they appear to have been partially caused by misdirected energy and misconceptions of former College officials. “In hindsight I might have gone in another direction,” said Robert Gentile, who stepped down last Spring after serving as its first Master. According to Gentile, the College’s financial problems stem from “a misunderstnding over the budget and what the College was promised the first two years.” Beginning as a workshop. International College was charted into the UB Collegiate sytem in 1977. At that time, the College was given a certain amount of money with which to start operations, and was until last year exempt from yearly budget allocations. The “misunderstanding” that Gentile speaks of, involves the amount of money the College was to have initially received and the criteria used for its (the College’s) eventual budgeting. agoing on, if there was such a mandate it's because that's what Assistant Residential Coordinator Larry Knipling Ihete were many internal complaints Associate Chief Executive Officer of the Colleges Richard Mcnn explaihed there is a “rather sophisticated formula” for determining a College’s budget allocation. The two main factors involved are the individual College’s residential program and the College’s enrollment in credit-bearing courses. Menn said cmhasis is placed on the latter. Ever since the inception of International College, direction has been focused towards the residential program. As a result, developing course offerings—the main determinant in fixing budget allocations—has drawn little consideration. "“Right from the beginning we never had any more than four of our own courses,” Gentile said. This year, the College offer’s only two of its own courses and has six courses cross- Plaza Shoe Repair 47 Kenmore Shoes repaired and shoes dyed Dry cleaning & laundry done 47 KENMORE AVE at University Plaza. J. 836-4041 & Formal grievance Former Academic Coordinator for International College Barbara Brown, explaining why she did not develop course offerings for the College said, “All 1 was doing was following the mandate of the Steering Committee."

The College was recharted at the end of last semester for another two years. Recommendations made by the Chartering Committee highlighted the need for more course offerings, suggesting that the College try to work courses into the framework of the General Education Plan, currently slated for 1981. International College is presently without a Master or Academic Coordinator. A Search Committee is interviewing different faculty members .for the chief spot, while the Academic Coordinator position is under review. Welch said the position might be totally eliminated. Dean of The Colleges Murry Schwartz, who assumed his position at the beginning of this semester, said International College “is now engaged in planning several activities and courses.” He said emphasis is being directed towards “thinking about courses th;" already .exist” which the College can cross-Jisi with Uni i v Departments.* " listed with University Departments/ “One of my naivites was that we would’ve gotteri something for our residential program,” Gentile maintained. Although that was a determinant of the College’s budget, the fact it offered so few courses is what figured in the budget cuts said Gentile. “We were cut on the basis of that, mdre severely than 1 believe was just.” Gentile admitted that he was never aware of the budget formula for the majority of his tenure. Because of that, the College’s Steering Committee during that lime set forth a mandate to concentrate on developing non-credit academicofferings—which play little part in the budget formula. Never aware =COME SING officials appointed by then Acting Dean of The Colleges Claude Welch. After reviewing the Committee’s recommendation, Welch decided "not to rehire” Brown. According to Assistant Residential Coordinator Larry Knipfing, there were many internal complaints with Brown’s performance in handling academic affairs. “Any job has too many responsibilities,” he claimed but added (hat Brown did not make a full effort in surveying students as to what courses interested them. Brown initiated a formal grievance against Welch at the beginning of this semester, charging that she was wrongfully removed from her job. Although she lost, Welch said that a “Step Two" grievance can be started against him, which in effect is an appeal.

It’s a form of retaliation.” The reporting of a grouper law violation by student tenants after they have moved out may seem futile, but it does cause the landlords some problems. “(After receiving a complaint) the owner gets a letter stating he is responsible for his home,” Bergman explained. “He or she will still have to answer questions although the tenants may not still reside there.” But Avantini contends that students suffer most from the more than 100 year old laws. “The laws are discriminatory against students,” he said, “landlords ‘Spectrum Staff W riter City zoning ordinances are being used blackmail students living off campus.

Founded before 1900 by respected bird lover John James Audubon, the nature magazine has burst forth from a cocoon, expanding its coverage to political issues such as nuclear power and deer hunting, drawing a new crop of readers. Audubon has been “addressingthe key issues in the political arena” reflecting the expanding environmental movement since the mid-1960s. Senior Editor Cary J$oucie told The Spectrum.

The Audubon Society is not concerned about losing its membership, Soucie said, boasting a circulation of 340.000. with perhaps two million devoted readers.

The Co-op, nested in the basement of Squire Hall, has been battling restrictive limits since they were flfst imposed In 1975. Album selection has been hobbled because of both inventory and monthly sales restrictions. Store hburs have been pushed back to a bare minimum to prevent the Co op from exceeding its monthly sales guidelines. All in all, the Coop—once a brainstorm of an innovative, creative student—has been taxed by a University Administration unwilling to take a strong stance supportive of students. Furthering the Coop's plight have been the soaring prices of albums, booming inflationary costs, complicated by the rapidly increasingjfemand for and production of, records. These factors make it even harder for the Co-op to keep up* And now, Ketter has decided that the Coopls restrictions should be weakened—not lifted. Why, Or. Ketter, four years after Carl Cavage brought suit against the Co-op and yourself, do you suddenly change your mind? We doubt it was a political ploy to garner student support because the announcement did not come until after the presidential evaluators left campus. If it was a political maneuver, it was poorly timed. So we wonder why, now. about one year after Carl Cavage closed his University Plaza store—the store that he claimed was battling unfair competition—did Ketter finally lessen the Co-op’s constraints. The Studehf Association lawyer along with the past four Co-op presidents not to mention countless student government officials) have been clamoring for no restrictions since the beginning of the Record Co-op saga. They all Claim that Cavage's pending lawsuit against the Co-op will not be affected if the guidelines are lifted. This is in regard to the letter from “A constant reader of the campus newspapers." I would like to know what the Mayor of Buffalo's ignorance hds to dp with him being Irish. As for "his potato growing ancestors", i resent the implication that the Irish people lack talent, diplomacy and charisma.

Carey More on Griffin To the Editor: This letter is a response to the letter appearing Friday 16, November. Entitled “Irish Redneck.” Apparently the person who wrote this loiter is as ignorant as the Mayor of Buffalo. By calling the Irish, “potato growing ancestors," shows no more intelligence than that displayed by the mayor Referring to the Irish as lacking talent, diplomacy and charisma is total bullshit. Insulting the Irish in this manner is very childish. I think your head is up your ass buddy. Robert Maher But Ketter says otherwise. We know that Ketter has proven himself an adversary of students, but we do not understand a president who claims that he iSprotectlng student interests and then ignores student sentiment. Ketter's name may appear on the court docket but he is personally covered by insurance. So if students believe the limits should be Itfted and it Is their service and their lawyer's contention, and in essence their risk, then Ketter's recent announcement that restraints on the Co-op should be weakened is still an - -■ insufficient response. The limits should be lifted altogether. They should have been a long time ago. Ketter’s latest song is a tune that may sell more albums, but won’t win * • ? ‘ „ any gold records.

T2 f Lewis responds To the Editor: What do you expect? I was well aware Of the consequences I might face In writing to The Spectrum about the Iranian situation. I feared some of my statements might be misconstrued and indeed, in Friday’s issue, a perfect example appeared. The letter from Creatoza Keet does not really deserve a rebuttal per se, but I do have some comments in general. A careful perusal of my letter would have shown that I in no way support the deposed Shah of Iran. I referred to the Shah as a tyrant, for that is what he was. Really Mr/Msf Keet, I do not recall referring to any "SHAW” as you said in your letter. I certainly have nothing against f o the Editor: This letter is written to inform Mr. David Lewis (in answer to his article which appeared in The SpectriAn issue of Nov. 12, 1979) and my other dear American colleagues on the situation in Iran. Let me begin with informing you on Shah's brilliant background of murders and crimes and do-called “human rights”: 1. Since he came on power in 1941 until he was overthrown by his honorable Ayattolah Khomeini; he has ordered killing of more than 360,000 Iranians (in different manners, such as torturing, shooting in the streets, and unjustified executions and many other ways), which turns out to be one person killed per each 48 minutes. It is important to know that these Iranian people were mostly well-educated (up to 92 percent). 2. He, personally!, set fire on the body of a famous Iranian newsreporter, martyr Karimpour Shirazi. 3. He set the plot and killed his own brother, All Reza Pahlavi, because at the time, the Shah an English puppet and his brother, All Reza believed in American - anyone named Shaw. But this and other portions of the Keet letter I simply dismiss as childish babbling. The. Shah of Iran was a tyrant supported economically, militarily, and diplomatically by the United States. That was unfortunate. The U.S- has a~ remarkable record of supporting some of the baddest apples in the bunch. Of course this is wrong. 'But, can the self-righteous anti-Shah forces rationalize the removal of one tyrant for another? Khomeini is hardly the savior Iran so desperately needs. On the contrary, the Ayatollah may be exactly what will cause the total demise of Iran. Whether the radical students initially acted independently of Khomeini, he and his government have not only condoned this blatant act of terrorism but have openly supported it. This is an inexcusable, unreconcilable position. The U.S. should not turn the Shah over to Iran in return for the hostages. Not only would that be complying to blackmail, it would cheapen the value of human life... any human life. I must ask Creatoza Keet and Mr. Colucci if they support capital punishment; isn't that precisely tfie aim of the Iranians? If the Shah were put to death by the Islamic Revolutionary Council, what possible purpose would be served? His death would not restore those lives lost during his reign. Indeed, vengence.is a futile and hollow goal. I am hardly an example of the ridiculous collection of cliches which Mr/Ms? Keets submitted. I am simply outraged by the support the U.B. Iranian students have shown for an explicit act of terrorism and violation of international law. Their statement of solidarity smacks of hypocrisy since they are so safely and comfortably residing in the nation they profess to hate. I certainly do not hate the Iranians here or in Iran. Actually, I pity those suffering Khomeinfs religious despotism. And Mr/Ms? Keets, I have also learned from the Iranians. I have learned howto pervert a religion of love and peace to one of repression and intolerance. I ,’havd MkithW" that if a group voices dissent they must be silenced. And the Iranians have taught me that one dictatorial tyrant is better than another, especially if he poses as a “religious" man. In conclusion, I shall not tower myself to a personal attack on Creatoza Keels, despite his or her attack upon myself. I know such a letter would very entertaining to The Spectrum's readers but I feel Mr/Ms? Keets letter has provided enough comic relief from this disturbing situation. •sv* c-,- -mmr- .7' ■ ’&&'■ SfVv Vj.. “ ■ V." T- r. Sr*, ii, •i • David A. Lewis '-'tm domination in lr?n. 4.

There are many many others, that I would need to publish a book to explain. I am not making anything up. Since my words are justified by reports of International Amnesty, International Lawyers Guild, as well as reports of French Le Monde Journal. Americans have been told that Khomeini is a dictators as the Shah was. Why one does not question that if Khomeini is a dictator, why Iranian people who overthrew a dictator not so long ago, should support another one?! Some American people may think that if Shah was sent to Iran, he would be tried, convicted and executed. Welt, after what he has done to Iranian people, do you expect the Iranian people who lost their best and dearest sisters and brothers during the revolution that brought the Shah down; to give Mm a welcome party?! At the end, f would like to.suggest my American friends to read the informative statement released by Iranian Students at UnlversityofBuftaio. largest robbery Seyod Mirmiran Iranian student at UB -ifi ill Blown it If the Iranians wanted the Shaw, they were offered every opportunity to achieve his extradiction through To the Editor: - membership of the Rastakhiz Party (the Shah's single party) will ba deported from Irap." Now. the question is what kind of freedom is that anybody not accepting a dictatorship, should leave his own homeland. 6. Through his so-called "White-Revolution", he destroyed Iran's self-sufficient agriculture and brought an industry whose only work was assembling foreign imports to Iran. 7. He was overthrown by the people uprising in 1953, which brought popular government of Dr. Mohammad Mossadegh. Through a coup conducted by C.I.A. and financed by the money of American taxpayers. Dr. Mossadegh was overthrown apd Shah was brought back to power. 8. The Shah took billions of dollars of Iranian people's wealth out of the country. I believe this is the f would like to comment on the crisis (and it is a crisis! in Iran. One of the things that the supporters of "'fe’Re over of the American Embassy have misunderstood is the reason for the strong reaction of the American people. The basic American (the grunts as Crpatoza Keet calls them) do not really care what happens to the Shaw or for that matter what happens to the nation of Iran. A lot of these people didn't even know where Iran was until they took the Embassy. What has these rednecks steamed is that a bunch of jerks have decided that they are above the international rules of ifw and that God has given them a divine right to take the lives of others in their own hands. The reason tp( their doing th|s it only a secondary thought. I will concede that tltt&haw should lace the people of his country concerning his past actions. The way to achieve this exrradiction was not to break every International Law concerning the immunity of diplomats and the sovereignty of a nation's Embassy. normal procedures. Blackmail by any country can not be condoned and therefore, even if the President wanted to send the Shaw to them he could not. I contend the reason the Iranians have'pulled this stunt Is so they could make the U.S. government look bad. As far as the Embassy being used as a spy center, I hate to burst everybody’s bubble but almost every nation does this and it is informally accepted by civilized nations as a fact of life: It irnot proper to : protest these actions by terrorism. If the government in Iran (whoever that may be) really wanted the Shaw back they haw bibwn It. There is no way that Jimmy Carter can do this and stltl expect to be taken seriously or for the U.S.A. to still be a world power. *7 In short, it is not the Shaw that we are arguing about, it is the principle of the thing. •utsv’rtsr*' " - - ■■ “ William Mack (An educated redneck) ■%, 1 -".-M* "V ' BSU’s obligation To the Editor: The Black Student Union is one of many university groups that operates with money it receives from the student activity fee. No one need be reminded that every student is required to contribute to this activity fee. The Black Student Union used some of its budget to plan a trip to the King Tut Exhibit in Toronto November 16th. Tickets to the exhibit were being offered to BSU members for $11.00 but to all other students for,$45.00. That’s right—all other students were asked to pay $45.00 per ticket. Quite a scalping to put it mildly. BSU refused Jo roll back prices to a reasonable level after repeated requests by the Student Association to do so. Then, less than 24 hours before buses were to depart for Toronto, the ticket price was lowered to $25.00 for non BSU members, hardly a fair reduction for the University community by any standard. One of the obligatidns of student groups operating with student activity funds is that all students are to be treated equally. No student should be expected to financially support any student organization that & knowingly abuses this responsibility. The Student Association must determine what are necessary in student organization bylaws to prevent such incidences from occuring again. Action must also betaken against the Black Student Union.

Therefore, it is hardly is sold as THC, is ever sold on the streets. This letter is in response to the two articles, that appeared In Monday's The Spectrum on “acid.” The information contained.in the articles is misleading at best, and there are two errors that I feel the need to correct. I ajso feel that the drug terminology used should be explained in detail so those who are not familiar with the drugs will understand the information. I would like to acknowledge the Oo It Now Foundation's publication "Conscientious Guide to Drug Abuse” as my sourcfe'of information. I will begin by explaining the term “acid", since The Spectrum neglected to do so. “Acid” is a street-name for LSD (D-lysergic diethylamide). LSD is the strongest drug under the classification "h'allucinogen”. It is usually available as a tablet, capsule, blotter (paper), paper microdot, glelatin (window pane) and liquid. Since many people have never heard of the term “acid”, I thought it important to explain it. Ih, one of the articles, a Buffalo Ppjlce chemist was quoted as saying that "THC and PCP are being passed off as acid on the streets.” First of all, THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) is the drug in marijuana that gets you high. It is extremely costly t© produce, and it actually PCP. i‘l PCP (phencyclidine) is an animal tranquilizer with hallucinogenicproperties, PCP is a dangerous drug because of its varying effects. It can produce an> enjoyable high. However, it often produces paranoia; hostility, ahd "the feeling of being outside your body” which is sometimes not revocable and causes psychosis. PCP is usually sold as THC. It is not usually sold as LSD because .the form that it is available (usually white powder) is distinctly different than that of LSD. In the diary article it was stated that when acid wasn't available, she bought LSD. She also said that you really can't get caught by the police with acid, but you can get caught with LSD. As I stated above, acid is a street-name for LSD, and thus, they are one and the same. I feel that the two articles were both confusing and misinforming. Neither article meet the usually standards demanded by The Spectrum. I suggest that if anyone has any questions regarding drugs; or would just like to talk to someone about what's bothering them, to call Sunshine House at 831-4046. Steven Levy Big mouth To th» Editor Last Saturday evening, I attended a UUAB Coffeehouse function which featured \Priscilla Herdman, a> renowned excellent folk singer. The concert progressed beautifully until the evening was marred by a rather unfortunate and hide incident. A number of individuals headed by a person recognized as Steve Crown entered the Rathshellar without presenting admission tickets and proceeded to be very loud and <$noxk>«s by gathering in a group and talking and laughing during the performance disturbing a large portion of the audience. When I asked this person to keep the talking to a reasonable level, he rudely told me to mind my own business and if I didn't like it, I should move to another seat. He and his group remained for ' quite a white talking and laughing. Whatever this persons position Is' in the University, his presence in the Rath caused an aggravating disturbance which could have been avoided by a little bit of thoughtfulness and self-control. This action not only presents a bad impression of the student body but also discourages local community participation and support of these cultural events.

As such, it is self-evident that the most sensible course of action at this time would be to disband the GSA Senate, transferring its funds and responsibility of disbursement thereof, to the University Administration.

I must be quick to those who may have concluded from the comments appearing in that ariclefhat teaching kids which organ is which and how they function is “sex ’education.” Certainly one would support the notion that such activity in the classroom can be a part of an on-going sex education program, but it is only a very small, and ultimately not very important part. Ofthuch greater importance and much more ultimate significance are those parts of an ortgoing program that help the student deal with his/her own sexuality, that leads them toward the valuing process and helps them to self Concept.

Certainly sex educators, no matter the site, should not "impose their morals or values on students” but it is hard to see the justification of teaching time if we do not realize that in dealing with behavioral matters we deliberately place the student in a position to look at his/her own morals and values. The student who recognized that "if you are brought up a certain way" you will have strong tendencies to behave in accord with that up-bringing, points out the importance of coordinated programs where schools, parents and social-cultural institutions interact in a positive manner over an extended period of the child’s life, to provide a meaningful sex education experience.

T * Three oks F t One November 12th thru 24th Attorney at Law With a background consisting of various personnel and name changes, the Student Theater Association for Genuine Entertainment (STAGE) is starting fresh this semester with an upcoming production of Woody Allen’s “Play It Again Sam.” Beginning as “Panic Theater” in 1977, changing to the New Musical Theater Troupe the following year, STAGE evolved in the Spring of 1978 under the leadership of former President Randi Bassow. STAGE has been operating with President Deana Koltcn and former club treasurer and secretary Bamy Ort leading the show. “We had no money, no backing, nothing.” Ort explained. “Our budget was zero." Able to convince the Student Association (SA) to give them $400, STAGE produced “The Mad Show" last year. Barely breaking even, the theater group followed last semester with a production of “Plaza,Suite.” Despite working in a three-week deadline before finals week, “Plaza Suite” proved a moderate success. In need of money this year, STAGE again appealed to SA. Granted $1250, which, according to SA, was awarded for two productions, Ort believes that in order to put on a quality show, he will need most of that money just for his first production. The play currently being rehearsed, “Play It Again Sam,” follows On’s policy of presenting a well known show and a comedy at the same time. Although most of the cast has never worked together before, Ort remains confident of the play’s success. “If the cast is like a family, it shows in the performance,” he explained. A large portion of its budget is going towards renting the Katherine Cornell Theater. On noted, “The renting of the Katherine CornelfTheater is our biggest expense and our biggest ripoff.” The theater is the only one available on campus, he said. The S300 they charge isn’t for rental fees, On noted, but charges for using the lights and lighting technicians, which poses , a problem for STAGE. “We would rather use our own technicians,” Ort said. “It takes too long to teach the theater technicians our techniques, like when and what lights we want used. We don’t even get janitoriakserviecs.” N STAGE hopes tb do something a little unique next semester, something they have never attempted, Ort said.

At a local hearing conducted by the Army Corps of Engineers and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), agency officials outnumbered private citizens, yet those citizens who attended voiced skepticism about developing gas reserves underlying the U.S. portion of the Eastern and Central Lake Basin—claiming the Lake could turn into “an oily, salty, chemical soup, that no one would want to drink.” Eugene Martin, representing a local community group, expressed his interest in {Protecting the “1-2 percent of fresh water available to man,” explaining that the Great Lakes contain a large percentage of thtf world’s, fresh waief reserve.

A key block by Kevin Haggerty allowed Meassick to scamper in for the score that was to provide the winning margin: The elements played a big pan in the game. The field was muddy, and there was enough wind to affect the strategy. Helter Skelter’s John Josup slipped and suffered a dislocated shoulder and was taken to the hospital. There were about 35 fans evenly divided between the two teams. There were also members of Toichok II “scouting” the contest. “We’re just Checking it out,” explained Mike Viscosi of the team Checkers wak to face for the championship. “This way we get a chance to see how the teams play.” Wind factor Checkers won the pre-game coin toss and chose to have the wind at its back in the first half. Helter Skelter, facing the wind, was forced to rely almost exclusively on a running game. Neither team scored against the wind—each side scoring one touchdown with Snow, hail and ram— football' finals go on Both intramural football teams that played in Thursday’s semifinal were comprised of UB students, but one team had a definite home field advantage. . Tolchok II, in its 12-0 victory over Beaver Patrol, controlled the ground and the air. Helping Tolchok in the victory w4s the vvealther. A day-long deluge had turned Acheson Field into a mudhole, and the combination of snow, hail and rain during the game only deepened the quagmire. Aiding the winners was their previous experience playing in mud—both Tolchok I (a loser last Monday) and Tolchok II are made up of members of the UB Rugby Club. ’’This was good for us," commented Bill Malenga. Tolchok defensive back. “The muddy field let a slow team like us beat a last team like Beaver Patrol," added Brian Frazer. Scoring in the contest was limited to two touchdowns by Tolchok —one per half. Passing was limited at times, as heavy waves of rain and snow blocked visibility and made the ball slippery. During a lull in the storm. Tolchok quarterback Dan Clabeaux found Bob Monahan unattended in the end zone. A 25-yard pass put Tolchok up 6-0 early in the first half. Beaver Patrol’s defense then closed down the Tolchok offense, which has scored a total of 210 points during the season. The game turned into a punting contest, with action centering around the deepest mudlake in midfield. The Beaver defensive effort was typified by Jon Solomon's interception to end the first half. - , held after the game, similar to (ho>e held after Stanley Cup playoffs. Afterward, a dejected Helter Skelter team left the field, while Checkers' players were looking forward to the championship. "Our strategy [for the showdown match] .will depend a lot on weather condition?." predicted Meassick. "Man for man. they (Tolchok 11) are bigger. But we're not going to back down now." —Dean S. Barron "A' & contest No protection inside men out.” Meassick recalled. "I ju>t read it right.” As a result, he batted away the pass that would have tied the game. Meassick was not the only hero. Ken Kea>t turned in a stellaf defensive) performance, intercepting two Helier Skelter passes in the second half. The victory upped Checkers record to 10-0, and 18-1 over the last two seasons. Last vear thev were called •'Miller Time." The traditional handshaking ceremonv was the wind. The first half ended with Helter Skelter dowii 7-0. “Now it’s going to be a different team,” asserted Skelter’s Paul Barrera during halftime. "W’eTc mainly a passing u.am. We have nothing to complain about.” But again, it was Checkers coming up with the big play on the conversion attempt that followed Heller Skeltcr’s second half touchdown.

After Tolehok received the second-half kickoff, the team drove 30 yards—CTabeaux finuing John Lanahan open. With extra plays given to them by Beaver Patrol penalties. Tolehok finally put the game away on a Clabeaux-to-Monahan combination. The Tolehok defense then arose from the mud to shut out Beaver Patrol. Paced by a mud-covered giant, known only as "Orca." Tolchoks defense consistently penetrated the Beaver offensive line. The rest of the game saw the Beaver quarterback scrambling, trying to find an open receiver while avoiding the Tolehok rush. As the contest finally ended, both teams exchanged congratulations, with Beaver Patrol wishing Tolehok luck in ihe final contest. As the losing team trudged off 10 the showers, Tolehok assembled for a team cheer. Then several members of the team satisfied an old rugby ritual—starting well back from the mudlake. they; raced forward, diving into the mud headfirst, covering any part of their body ihai had previously escaped the slime.

Grouper laws... -Kiion was racially motivated,” he —continued from pa 9* 9~ don’t get penalized.” Avantini points to economic conditions which force students to violate these laws. "Many homes are too expensive for less than three students to live together." he noted. "The laws affect'an already tight housing market, making demand greater than the limited f supply.” '■ the be “The discriminatory against students. laws are a matter of safety,” the inspector explained. "In case.of a fire in an over-occupied home everybody may not be able to get out.” FJpwever, no Buffalo laws limit the number of related people per house. Avantini claimed the laws have been used by neighbors to evict “people they Bergman ordinances does atei not believe meant to - Constitution Co-curriculum Board, the other simply titled the Assembly. According to Lowry, the Cocurficulum Board would be concerned with the functions of SA such as the budget and regulation of organizations, while the Assembly would be more concerned with academic affairs and students rights. The Assembly would be open to don’t like" from the community. "They laws) amount to a type ot blackmail.” he said. "They arc used by bigots to geuid of unwanted students in (the their neighborhoods." An alleged case of the ordinances being unfairly applied by "bigoted” neighbors involves four unrelated students residing at 16 .University Avenue, who were recently cited for grouper law violations. The occupants—all from diverse ethnic backgrounds—believe the anonymous complaint lodged against them was “racially motivated.” The complaint may have been instigated by someone objecting to the racial mix of the residents, Bergman speculated. “Not knowing the intention of the complaint it is totally possible the . “This is selective enforcement of a prehistoric law.” Most complaints about students living off-campus are not concerning the grouper laws but appearance-type problems, according to University Heights Community Center member Kitty Sullivan. “The complaints we receive concerning students are for improper garbage dispoasl, overgrown shrubbery and generally shabby conditions.” Sullivan said. If complaints are not remedied, she said, “we’ll call in the building inspectors to check on grouper law violations. Its a matter of community pride.” Sullivan believes a “difficult situation” exists between the “stable” permanent residential group of the area and the large “transient” student population. “Students may make ahouse into a hole and move away,” Sullivan noted. “This sometimes puts everyone at odds.” Grouper laws are difficult to enforce, Sullivan also pointed out. “How can you disprove that somebody is not v related?” she asked. “If tenants said they were second cousins twice removed how- are we supposed to know?” Avantini believes that cooperation from the University Administration would aid his efforts to repeal the ordinances. ■> University District Councilman Eugene Fahey is “favorable” to meeting with President Robert L. Ketter and Avantini to discuss the problems encountered but Assistant to the President Ron Stein told The Spectrum he was unaware a problem existed. Stein said he would “check into” the matter. . - —continued from page any Senator ' , said.

When asked whether he thought his proposal would work, Lowry replied “at this point the advantages outweigh the problems.” Under the Lowry proposal, any individual turning in a list of 40 signatures—no__ later than four weeks from the start of elections —would become a Senator. The individual would not become a Senator until 72 hours after the names were turned in. “A definite lack of communication" is how Floccare described the relationship between the SA Executive branch and the Senate. Floccare has acknowledged the possibility of a Speaker of the Senate being incorporated into the new SA Constitution. Under a now before the Constitution Committee, an individual would be chosen from the Senate —by the Senators —to be part of the executive branch. According to Floccare, “this would the lines of improve communication.” Floccare said," the Speaker of the Senate would preside over proposal ' Taste the pride erf Canada. Senate meetings where as in the past the SA Vice-President did.” Floccare expressed the need for the Senate to be well informed as to what the executive branch was planning. He said the Speaker be able to provide information to Senators enabling them to be prepared for any executive action. “I would rather do a complete job than an incomplete job on time,” commented committee member Chris Jasen when asked how the Constitution was progressing. SA Director of Academic Affairs Judiann Cartpack said, “There’s not enough steady Committee support, Bob Lowry has been doing all the writing.” She added that ,f there are 45 Senators and they’re all complaining, yet none are willing to become pan of the Committee.” The Committee has been meeting regularly since July, but Lowry noted that members did not really begin to make progress until the beginning of the Semester.

Former Managing Editor of the Buffalo Evening News Elwood “Woody” Wardlow has joined the Department as an adjunct instructor, bolstering its faculty ranks; but further faculty appointments remain in question. Director of Millard Fillmore College (MFC) Eric Streiff said Wardlow will definately be teaching a course but its subject and time have not yet been determined. Wardlow’s appointment which will be funded by MFC—the night school—comes two months after an enrollment surge brightened the Department’s future. Enrollment in Communications has increasd by 5jT percent In the day division, and while the resurgence has encouraged those in the department, it has also boosted the studentfaculty ratio to an abnormally high 42-1, according to Department Chairman Gerald Goldhaber. However, Vice President for Academic Affairs Ronald F. Bunn doubts that the figure—which would’ be the highest ratio in Social Sciences— is correct. “The highest student/faculty ratio in the University is 36-1 in the College system,” he said. The increasing demand makes it difficult for students to be admitted to courses of their choice, many claim. Communications student Marybeth Gillen said, “It makes it rough for majors to register for communications courses because we get closed out.” Despite the growing numbers of students, the number of faculty in the daytime division in Communications has increased by only one member since last year and now totals seven, Dean of Social Sciences Kenneth Levy said. Four years ago, the department had 12 faculty. attrition be attributed tQ, the While the Communications Department may gain one member, the Faculty as a whole may experience cuts. “Not many departments can have next year what they have this year,” Levy said. Although Levy is not optimistic about budgeting, he is sympathetic tc the department’s problems. Doubtful of any forthcoming resources, Goldhaber has instituted a fund-raising campaign for his department. The campaign is designed to take advantage of the UB Foundation, alumni, interns and research grants in order to generate income in the form of donations. Goldhaber said that for his department to receive more funds, “UB must be shown that the-increasing enrollment is not a fluke of temporary,” - and that students are being trained for existing job opportunities. To accomplish these goals Goldhaber and his faculty have completely reviewed, analyzed, and altered the entire curriculum, installing new prerequisites and requirements. “Interpersonal 101—haphazardly taught in the past— has been redesigned and is no longer an easy course, H explained Goldhaber. Only one in three students who registered for 101 are accepted in order to maintain small classes. “Sixty-seven percent of these students come from outside the social sciences,” said Goldhaber. The 101 and 102 courses are taught by the department’s nine Teaching Assistants (TA’s). Goldhaber asked, “If TA’s did research—as they do in other departments-rwho would teach?” Another goal of the “new” department is a recruitment program. Goldhaber has announced that has set up its First newsletter through the undergraduate Student Association. It will be distributed to alumni, friends of the department, and high school students later this month in an effort to gain support. Levy maintains, “The program and the department mutt be able to deliver theeducational experiences they say they can offer. If we can’t 'p«&ide the resources, they’ll have a big ' Spectrum . Communications Department’s Director of Graduate Studies C.R. Petrie. Because the Social Science Faculty’s budget has once again been cut, Levy said, he may not be able to hire anyone—through-the day school—this year. According to Bunn, the University must survive with limited resources, and a further boost for Communications could come only by cutting one of the other departments within Social Sciences. No new lines “The faculty of social sciences has more resources than 1 am able-to justify,” Bunn said. ‘IThere are no new lines UB and especially in Social Sciences because they have h«(t decreasing enrollment which .does not permit i.” he added ' . friday * Vol. 30, No. 39/SUNY at Buffalo/16 November 1979 distributed free to the University communily/llmlt one copy per person c . problem.” , * The S[p mmrnT — • Advisory GSA report not ‘official’ view by Joe Simon Campus Editor Finn to sarcastically remark, “Now 1 can enjoy my Thanksgiving holiday.” The Graduate Student Association (GSA) voted 39-1-2 Wednesday to accept as an advisory and information document—rather than as its official stance —the GSA Ad Hoc Committee Report evaluating President Robert Ketter. The report, released two weeks ago, made no recommendations concerning Ketter’s future at this University, but concluded that his efforts have been “misdirected, insufficient or belated.” After an hour of debate over why the report was released to. both the press and the Presidential Evaluation Team before GSA Senate approval, the six page document was approved with only one dissenter. The Senate also defeated a motion which would have reprimanded GSA President Joyce Finn for prematurely releasing the document. The vote, 11-20-11, prompted Several Senators voiced opposition to having the report released to the three-man presidential evaluation' team without prior Senate debate on the document. Finn explained that time limitations prevented such review. She added that “even though it was given to the team before Senate discussion,” it was made clear to team Chairman John Corbally that the report was an unofficial document by a Senate committee. Meeting with Corbally The heavily attended meeting in a second floor room in Squire Hall, witnessed brief discussion over the actual contents of the Report, apd more extensive discussion peer whose beliefs the Report represents, and why it was released early. “I felt there was a need to present more than just my opinions to the (evaluation) Committee,” Finn said in explaining her move to release the document. “Corbally was fully aware that the report was not debated by the Senate.” Thi most' heavily discussed statement in the Report centered around criticism of Ketter’« reliance on his Vice Presidents and Deans for information at the departmental PACKED MEETING: Gradual* students question exactly how their report evaluating level.

Rutkowski’s proposed 1980 budget will enable him to remain within the bounds he set for himself during the recent election campaign. Although Rutkowski’s proposal lives up to his campaign promise not to raise taxes, the newly-elected official still has more money than he did last year to budget throughout the recommendations and . we’re happy with it (the proposal).” He added, “It is now up to the Legislature to make changes.” Historically, the Legislature has not made significant changes other than to cut parts of* a specific program’s funding. Criticism of the budget has so far been minimal. County departments seem to approve of the plan, voicing only minor complaints. Sheriff Department officials called the plan county. The approximate $500 million proposal represents a $40 million increase in spending, yet cuts the average property tax rate by 14 cents per $1000 assessed value. Earlier this week, the County Legislature began hearings on the budget, trying to work within a December 4 deadline. Assistant Budget Director Robert Farrington said that his department expects no major changes in the proposal, some although minor adjustments may be made. “generally satisfactory.” inflation caused by a lack of sound federal policy to deal with energy and monetary problems.” Rutkowski also warned against a recession which could lead to increased county costs and reduced State aid. He called for a reassessment of the State’s continued commitment to New York City and the ramifications for Western New York. . Economic Development During his campaign, Rutkowski stressed economic development, and his budget Edward J. Ryttowafcl wrestle with Inflation’ Wage hike Some protest, however, has been heard. Purchase Director' John G. Gross told the Legislature that his Department was “just managing” to meet current spending limits. Parks Commissioner James N. Leary also registered a minor complaint, but said that his Office would attempt to “live” within its appropriation. The County Executive was able to share 14 cents from average property tax rates by the County’s obtaining increased Federal and State aid, federal revenue sharing programs, sales tax and fees and a $7.6 million carry-over surplus from 1978. In his budget message, the youthful Rutkowski attacked State and Federal policies that “push up county budgets,” claiming that the County “would have to wrestle with up expiring federally-funded CETA jobs. The six percent wage hike—negotiated last year—added almost $7 million to the County’s costs, while rising energy costs accounted for a $1.2 million increase. Of 204 new jobs sought by department heads, 45 were granted, including seven in the Sheriffs Department and 10 in the Medical Center. An additional $350,000 was recommended for a contingency account to assume CETA jobs that will fall victim to federal cuts next September.

And, understandably, it is the pride of Egypt’s already impressive collections of ancient art. Attendance records were broken across the country in amazing numbers with the help of a massive publicity campaign. On loan from the Cairo Egyptian Museum, the tour started in the fall of 1976 at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C.. It then proceeded through Chicago, New Orleans, Los Angeles, Seattle, New York, and San Francisco, experienced by nearly 8 million On loan from Cairo Toronto has ‘In Celebration of Tutankhamun —Rebacca Barnstaln Controversy clouds sale of Tut-ticke . . \ ■ ■ - people. _ by Kathleen McDonough Managing Editor Tomorrow the buses will leave for the Tutankhamun exhibition in Toronto, but not everyone who wanted to be on the buses will. The event, sponsored by the Black Student Union (BSU), has been bogged down in confusion for the past several days. At least 20 students who waited in line at the Squire Hall Ticket Office for four hours last week Friday were left angry and demanding answers to the mixup. Complaints have been all over,” said Richard Lidge of University Student Affairs, who noted that ticket prices for both members and nonmembers of BSU have changed several times over the past few weeks. “BSU has the right to purchase the tickets and run the program,” Lidge explained. But, he said, the “point of departure” was when BSU put up signs and advertised for the tickets without spelling out the conditions for their sale. In fact, Lidge noted, BSU would be technically within its rights if it sold tickets only to BSU members—as was originally scheduled to be done yesterday. Tickets were originally sold in the Black Student Union office on the third floor of Squire Hall, allegedly at $11 for students and $20 or $25 for non-students. Then tickets were to go on sale at the Ticket Office, but disagreement between BSU and the Student Association (SA) over the cost of the tickets and the number of tickets to be sold resulted in the tickets being yanked from the Office last Friday. “It’s a breakdown in communication,” said SA President Joel Mayersohn. SA Student Activities Director Barry Calder explained BSU had offered to sponsor the event over the summer. Since BSU was using its budget—supplied by mandatory student activity fees—to travel to Toronto, purchase the tickets and rent the four buses for the excursion, it was verbally agreed that BSU could set aside some tickets for its members, he said. The weekend of November J and 4, SA Treasurer Kevin Bryant meant with members of the BSU to arrange for the tickets to be sold in the Ticket Office. But apparently each side emerged with a different view of what took place. According to Calder, the communication gap was widened by two points of confusion; how much money SA would subsidize BSU for the tickets and how many tickets would be sold to the general public as opposed to Black Student Union members. Calder quoted the BSU figures at 49 tickets for the general public and a $1400 subsidy as opposed to Bryant’s of over 100 tickets and a $700 subsidy. “No one knows who’s correct,” he added. Although Bryant said such things are usually put in writing, the agreement he had with BSU that weekend was verbal. “1 assumed they were good to Ihcir word,” said Bryant. But a BSU officer said that the BSU would withhold comment until its written statement was prepared and released. Ticket Office Director Ken Nussbaum said that the tickets were removed from the office Friday, November 9, because of the conflicting instructions he received from BSU and SA. But tickets went back on sale Monday morning, Nussbaum said, at $11 for BSU members and $45 for other students and the public. Nussbaum said he sold eight tickets Monday and Tuesday, seven to BSU members. But tickets were again removed from the ticket office. Forty-nine tickets went back on sale there yesterday—at $25 for everyone—after discussions between SA and BSU representatives Thursday night. Tut tickets cost $3.50. Roundtrip fare to Toronto is $17.20 on Greyhound and $18.70 on Amtrak. Executive Director of Sub Board 1 Inc. Dennis Black noted that, as Unofficial accounting firm for all student organizations, he wanted BSU to sell the tickets through the ticket office in order to keep clear financial records. “It’s a lot of money,” Black said, noting that accounts for sum can’t be kept on the “cover of a shoebox.” Student organizations are not allowed, according to Sqni-c Hol. Council rules, to sell tickets from their offices, said Squid Hail A Director Robert Henderson. However, he noted, if the tickets are sold only to members of the organization, it is usually allowed. Henderson mentioned the security risk of keeping money in offices. BSU also sponsored a free film showing and lecture by Oil Noble Wednesday night as a prelude to the trip. Mayersohn had agreed to pay the cost of the lecture ($700) since it was open to the entire University. But Bryant told The Spectrum yesterday that, since BSU did not agree to sell the tickets at the reduced rate of $11 to all students, SA is not subsidizing any part of the event or paying for the speaker. 0 Toronto’s sold-out debut was no different. The lines stretched into the streets. After an hour and a half wait, I finally made my way into a displayed on the wails explaining Egyptian history proved only slightly interesting in my zealous anticipation of these unique remnants. The information signs explained that Tutankhamun died mysteriously at the age of 18. His reign, in the 18th dynasty of Egyptian history, lasted from 1334 to 1325 BC and his treasures have since been concealed for over 3000 years. The tomb, composed of four room&, yielded oyer 5000 artifacts. Should have won a grammy The gallery offered a taperecorded explanation of the show, which later proved to be a great asset to understanding the ancient art. Each artifact carried a description of the object and a brief explanation of its historic, religious and personal significance. The history of Tutankhamun’s tomb and its discbvery and excavation are almost as interesting as the extravagant exhibit itself. The pyramids were, at one time, used by (he Egyptians as pretentiously elaborate tombs for the hierarchical elite; and these later proved to be targets for graverobbers and plunderers. But because the young king had died so suddenly, a proper tomb had not been furnished. King Tut was buried in a wellhidden site away from the other pompously royal tombs. On November 1 1922, after 16 futile years in search of the lost tomb of Tutankhamun, archeologist Howard Carter finally found something. In an excavation project in the Valley of the Kings, he and his crew stumbled upon a stairway leading down to a door cnscribed with ancient hieroglyphics. Carter waited for the project’s sponsor and monetary supporter of six years, the 5 th Earl pf Carnarvon, to arrive from England. They then proceeded very carefully to clear a long passage which led to another door. After drilling a small hole into the sealed door. Carter lit a candle and, allowing his eyes to get accustomed to the light, stood in utter amazement at the images flashing before him. Objects of desire 'After enduring a wait in line of over two and a half hours, my ticket was finally taken, ripped and returned. As the next designated group of visitors, we were herded into the first gallery. There stood lica oi young king’s head. We were told by the recorded voice that “by having this model in his tomb, Tutankhamun, through the process of imitative magic, would have an instrument that would enable him to be reborn as the sun god everyday.” The next few exhibits, a series of stools, chairs and assorted furniture contained beautiful examples of the craftsmen’s exquisite elegance and grace, a pre-requisite for Tutankhamun’s tomb. Many of the objects were actually used by the young king in his short life. Included were religiously' significant jewelry, several gameboards, and a dagger and sheath of pure gold which had been wrapped inside the mummy. Artistically, one of the most astonishing works in the museum show is a chest of ivory panels depicting the king and his teenage queen, Ankhesenamun, in gracious domestic scenes. This naturalistic artistry was practically unheard of prior to the 18th dynasty. Those damn scoundrels Unfortunately, Carter was not the first to have discovered Tutankhamun’s tomb. Inside a small golden shrine stands a pedestal that once held a statuette of Tutankhamun. Carter believed that plunderers robbed the tomb shortly after it was erected but took little of importance. Several alabaster chalices and vases were drained of their precious oils and perfumes. The most famous treasure from . King Tut’s tomb, is the solid gold 23 pound mask of Tutankhamun. It was almost impossible to get near, as a packed crowd surrounded the artifact. I heard one woman complain, “you need a baseball bat to get in there.” All eyes were transfixed on the faithful depiction-the narrow eyes, fleshy lips, shape of the nose and chin—all agreed with the features visible on the mummy. No photograph could do justice to this magnificent rendering of the adolescent king, nor could any words rightly depict its brilliance and majestic prestige. The U.B. ticket office is selling packages for a Toronto trip. The Art Gallery of Ontario 317 Dundas Street has a few thousand tickets remaining for weekdays in December but they must be bought in person. Photography is prohibited, coats have to be checked but there is no limit on the length of your viewing. The audioguidcvare worth the S2.50 but be wary of the subtle attempt to rush you through the tour. There is a free half-hour movie afterwards, and also free access to the restrooms of the outstanding gallery. The store selling the Tut memorabilia is basically a rip-off. Everything imaginable is sold; from tie-clips and scarves to stationery, puzzles and coloring books. However, nothing could take away from the aesthetic value of the original artifacts. To say the exhibit is awesome and overwhelming is simply an understatement.

Merchants suffer Businessmen recount mass transit obstacles of other major cities by Dan Holder Stuff Writer Spectrum Things are going to get worse before they get any better. That was the message area businessmen received last night at a seminar on the impact of construction of Light Rapid Rail Transit systems on businesses in other cities. The seminar, sponsored by the Buffalo Better Business Bureau, took place Tuesday night in the Embassy Room of the Statlcr 100 Hilton. Aproximately merchants arid tenants of businesses along Main Street paid ten dollars a ticket to hear the news. Decked out in three piece suits and severe dresses, the men and women waited in line outside the room, sounding like college students. They greeted friends and yelled at line cutters. Alot of gossip accompanied wondering about the hold-up in registration. Some men made comments about passing females. Once they cleared the signin desk, all similarities to students quickly were stripped away. These people were here to talk about their money. Big money. Inside the gold and yellow Embassy Room, the merchants got their coffee and sat down. Sitting behind the table and podium facing them were representatives from the Better Business Bureau, the Niagara Frontier Transit Authority (NFTA), the Department of Transportation and the Small Business Adminstration. Suffer and survive Following a short introduction by the NFTA Director of community Affairs Bob Winston, a clothes in merchant downtown Washington, Dick Stein told his story. Mostly a businessman to older Tuesday night’s seminar sponsored by Buttalo’a Better Business Bureau Merchants and bualnesamen heard about the Impact of the LRRT construction businessman dialogue, Stein advised the Buffalo community “Remember—Patience, endurance, and vision,” indicating the years of frustration during construction delays. The small, middle-aged merchant told of the many difficulties encountered during subway construction, especially loss of customers. “Business for me has dropped about 50 percent. It is now at my 1970 level.” he related. “But, my rent has doubled, because I’m near a subway location.” He went on to tell of the many businesses who“suffered and survived through the entire construction time, only to lose their businesses when the city tore down entire blocks of buildings for new construction. The contractors spent THC STROH MI WIRY COMPANY, DETROIT, MICHIGAN ® 1971 y /// / ///. VS' S 7 “As soon as they get to the top, they've made their point... then they're going to drink it." For the real beer lover. lot of time and money underpinning buildings that later were torn down.” After Stein’s talk, Baltimore businessman Stony Jackson addressed the audience. A Hollywood vision of the young, up and coming executive, Jackson spoke with a slight Southern accent. He owns a building located on a street being torn up for the LRRT. ‘‘You walk out of my front door, and you fall down a 90 foot hole. If they told me what to expect, I could have saved thousands. This trip will have been worth it, if 1 can save someone from going bankrupt.” a » Federal help Both men then fielded questions from the floor after their prepared presentations. Someone asked about relocation money coming from the Federal government. Jackson confessed that he didn’t know of any businesses getting money in Baltimore, while Stein told a different story. “They said we could recievc up to $25,000 in movirtg expenses, if the construction hurt the firm. I moved my women’s clothes section out to my suburban store, and got the $25,000. It cost me $75,000 to make the move.” The audience agreed it was important for local -businesses to meet the LRRT contractors, and discuss problems. “It’s important to go out and talk to him,” Stein confided. “Shake their hand, go buy them a cup ofcoffee. It’s easier to talk to the actual builder than to go through the contracting board.” Despite the atmosphere of gloom, both businessmen had notes of optimism. “The safest spots in Washington will be in the subway stations, the most dangerous are at bus stations,” Stein predicted. “We’re beginning to sec the light at the end of the tunnel,” Jackson added. As the questions ended, the professionals took over. During their question and answer session, New York State Department of Transportation representative Joe Tocke pointed out that the Washington subway construction, planned for 22 months, actually took 60. He then stressed that Buffalo has learned a lot from the experiences in cities other than the ones represented, including Toronto and Atlanta. As the speeches ended, and questions faded away, the meeting broke up in small workshops. There, merchants were able to question the experts one-on-one, bringing up the more personally related questions, these ranged from lawsuits against National Fuel Gas for property damags to the future of the Theater District. As the meeting died out, the merchants filed out one at a time, to return to their businesses in the morning, with their many uncertainties reduced to specific problems. �• t 4 i special report: Iran dnd the U.S. Fed check on Iranian call,” said one student who did not wish to be identified. Demonstrating the detachment of many foreign students here, another responded, ”1 don’t watch television or listen to the radio so I haven’t heard a thing,” he said, adding, "My friend told me I’d better contact a foreign student advisor.” Problems may occur Nonetheless, Press Secretary Powell’s statement stipulated that students who fail to show up for the required interview are subject to immediate deportation for failure to comply with U.S. immigration laws.

In a telephone interview from his office in by Jon-Michael Glionna Feature Editor Iranian students attending universities across the nation, including UB, will have until December 12 to undergo a status check with the office of Immigration and Naturalization as a result of a presidential decree issued last Friday. Government officials initiated the plan in an effort to cool demonstrations and violence on college campuses that could further endanger American hostages in Teheran. WhiteHouse Press Secretary Jody Powell, in a press release, maintained that the activities of many Iranian students here "are not in the best interests” of efforts to free the 62 Americans. “I think the activities past and planned for the future here are not in the best interests of our political goal,” Powell said. Jhe Washington Post described government officials as “especially alarmed by television coverage of the fights and name calling during recent demonstrations in Washingtpft, Los Angeles and Hpustop. A story in the Buffah Evening News last week, reported that the Justice Department, together with the Immigration and Naturalization service (INS), noted plans to issue a notice “requiring all Iranian students to report their present status and location” and the government would take “additional steps to locate and identify such students found to be in the country illegally.” The Justice Department has also been instructed <a —Garry check the approximately 50,000 Iranian students and “commence deportation proceedings” against those not in compliance with the terms of their entry visas. As a result of the order directed by President Carter, local Iranian students have 30 days to report to the Office of Immigration at the U.S. courthouse in downtown Buffalo. They are required to bring a passport, permit and documentation of their financial and educational status. to Red tape involved According to Associate Vice President for Student Affairs Anthony Lorenzetti, his office received a call on Monday from the Immigration official requesting relevant information on the 115-ptus Iranian students currently enrolled here. He stressed it was the University’s obligation to provide its foreign students with information needed to comply with stipulations set by Immigration officials for the upcoming interviews. Over the past week, the Division of Student Affairs here has been saddled with the dual responsibilities of contacting Iranian students to inform them of their interview requirements and of compiling information on each student for the purpose of the government’s status check. “Our difficulty,” informed Lorenzelti, “is trying to quickly pull together this information from a variety of sources.” Lorenzetti insisted that all efforts are being made to contact Iranian students here and inform thbnf of the status check as soon as .possible- “We’re initially tryingto reach each of the students by £hcme.

Russell also acknowledged that he had received several phone calls from American officials claiming unfair treatment of Iranian students here. "Some call and say that the Iranian students haven’t broken any laws here and arc completely victims of circumstance,” he said. Not all radicals UB’s Lorenzetti called the student status check a normal response on the part of the U.S., informing the Iranian government of its concern over the presence of its students here in light of the difficulty.” He said, “What we’re saying in effect is that we’re not happy with what’s occurring and we’re taking steps to demonstrate our displeasure. Lorenzetti also stressed that the first priority of this University is the well-being of Iranian students on campus. "These students vary in opinion on this issue and some would be in danger if forced to return to Iran. You -can’t lump them all as reactionary radicals,” he stressed. Vice President far Student Affairs Richard Siggeikow maintained that his office is waiting for SUNY legal officers to send a directive to ati campuses concerning their Obligations to Iranian students and possible legal ramifications. No demonstrationbut students clash indoors by Joyce Howe Managing Editor With a verbal display of emotions ranging from anger to disbelief, UQ students gathered in Squire Hall’s Fillmore Room yesterday afternoon to express their sentiments on the present Iranian situation. In the wake of a cancelled demonstration Students’ by the Association planned for, 12 noon outside of Squire, the Fillmore Room became the site of an open forum. The planned demonstration, supporting the holding of 62 American hostages by Iranian students in the Teheran American embassy as ransom for Shah Reza Pahlevi currently ailing in New York, was halted for reasons issued in a written statement declaring that “the cancellation was mainly decided on an official protest of the Iranian community for not being permitted to express their true feeling DIRECTLY to the hospitable people of Buffalo.” Two years ago, Iranian students protesting the Shah and U.S. involvement in Iran were allowed to march downtown from Main Street Campus. This time, they were refused a permit. After news of the protest’s cancellation, both Iranian and American students milled around the entrance to the Fillmore Room in some confusion. Director of Squire Hall Robert Henderson offered Saied Fazellpour, an Iranian spokesperson, the use of the room for his group to .voice its views. Fazelipour declined. Despite the lack of a demonstration, feelings ran strong from those who had come to campus expecting one. Among the group milling in the lobby, some American students were heard relating such views as “Let’s have some violence here” and “Anyone talking to Iranians is a traitor!” Some formed a small circle and began to sing “The Star Spangled Banner.” Soon after, Dan Pfoltzer of The Other One approached Henderson, who was still attempting to move the students out of the hall and into the room, about the possibility of holding a debate in Fillmore. With the go ahead from Henderson, both Pfoltzer and UB' Sociology Professor Ed Powell ushered the group in and proceeded to .act as both speakers and moderators. With the grey-bearded and dashiki-clad Powell continually urging those with something to say in the half-filled Fillmore Room to come up to the microphone, the long debatebecame more of a clash of wills. the rear of the crowd, an assemblage of American —Tom Buchanan Nationalism waving high American sentiment in Fillmore Room students hoisted a large American flag above their heads. Throughout, they interrupted speakers’ appeals (pr reason on the stance of the Iranians with shouts of profanity and “What about the 60 hostages, don’t they have rights too?” Questions of U.S. intervention abroad and the Shah’s relationship with David Rockefeller were shouted out. Some American students stressed nationalism as the main issue. One demanded that “The Iranians don’t want the Shah, they just want to make an example of theU.S.” As Channel 2’s Instant Eye recorded the event for the Six O’clock News in Buffalo living rooms, as four campus security officers, two in plain clothes, sat in a corner by the speakers’ platform watching amusedly while loudly chewing on gum, and as the building loudspeaker occasionally drowned out voices with its announcements—the tension's of both sides often came close to emptyirig into something more than could be constrained. The emotional current running through the room was embodied by the anggish of one UB Iranian student who, wearing a red, white and blue ski jacket and jeans, cried, “it doesn't matter if I die as long as my people are happy. I want to live when my people are happy.” Coming from the crowd came the answering cry, “Go back to where you came from.” || * '* �«o special report i a. E 3 by Jean-Marc Brun Spectrum Stuff Writer ‘The greatest crisis of Jimmy Carter’s presidency.’ That’s whatthe news media has been calling the Iranian student attack on the American embassy in Teheran and its resultant tensions. The students say they will not release the 62 American hostages until the U.S. surrenders Shah Reza Pahlevi who is undergoing treatment for lymphatic cancer at a New York hospital. The U.S. has refused to capitulate to the hostage blackmail and finds itself in a highly frustrating situation, one where it is forced to deal with an intractable mob and a power diffused government. The storming of the U.S. Embassy on the morning of November 4 was the result of a forewarned retaliatory move against President Carter’s decision to allow the Shah to enter this country for proper medical treatment. State Department specialists warned that the Shah’s entry might provoke the kind of response that did ensue. And Iran’s legislative body, the revolutionary council, issued some not-so-veiied threats, threats that were echoed in Washington by the Iranian embassy. The move by the students to take over the Embassy was condoned, if not actually ordered, by Iran’s de facto leader the Ayatollah Khomeini who called the Embassy “a nest of spies” and “a center of intrigue.” Hostages remain captive at mission Second rate power The inability of the United States, the greatest of the superpowers with its enormous nuclear capacities to effectively deal a mob of students from a second-rate world power reaffirms the feelings of national weakness and helplessness expressed by Americans in recent years. The failure of the U.S. to anticipate and prevent the takeover of the Embassy rides on the Carter searches for solution to logjam crisis Commentary " crest of a wave of similar situations in which we have failed to properly forecast and handle threats to its overseas interests. The U.S.’s failure to detect the widespread discontent and potentially explosive national mood in Iran resulted in the show of indecisiveness on how to react to the revolution. Instead of reassessing its support of the Shah in the face of increasing national opposition to his rule and realigning itself with the popular leaders, the U.S. succeeded in alienating itself from the new popular government and the Iranian people. Congressional conservatives, at the time of the revolution, argued that a more appropriate course of action would have been for the U.S. to show more effective support for the Shah, a long time U.S. ally, and to have stopped the uprising before it acquired widespread national support. In any case, the country now finds itself in a very uncomfortable situation in Iran where it is perceived as being a supporter and friend of the deposed Shah. Similar shows of our inability to detect popular discontent with a U.S. supported leader and to reassess this support occurred in Nicaragua recently when Anastasio Somoza was deposed. Deteriorating image The attack on the Embassy elicited a strong emotional response among flits W^' OLD FASHIONED DUDDBBEBS i j v y.'; I H Xv :v~ <»* tom this via i U.S. citizens who in their anger arid sense of frustration demanded that something be done. Many called fj>r the immediate deportation of the 50,000 Iranian students currently enrolled in U.S. universities. Well aware that the attack would further damage his deteriorating image as an effectual leader and hurt his chances for reelection, Carter opted to react with restraint and patience in order to'ensure the safety of the hostages. A military response was immediately ruled out as being impractical and dangerous. The element of surprise, essential to the success of such an operation was eliminated due to a number of factors, one being that the Embassy is located in a heavily populated inland city. Initially, Carter was assured by Iranian Prime Minister Mchdi Bazargan that he would intervene and ensure the safety and release of the hostages. However, because of his inability to work with Khomeini and the ruling clergy Bazargan resigned on Tuesday, November 6. Carter’s subsequent attempts to negotiate with Khomeini for the hostages’ release were frustrated after Khomeini rebuffed a mediation effort led by former Attorney General Ramsey Clark. 1 Public opinion ploy The Palestine Liberation Army in what is perceived by many a ploy to ingratiate American public opinion said it would attempt to negotiate with the Iranians. The PLO abandoned the talks after having been convinced by the students that the surrender of the Shah was the only way that the hostages would be released. Appeals by Pope John Paul II for the release of the hostages also proved to be to no avail. In an effort to appear to be resolute with the Iranian government rather than be a pitiful victim, Carter ordered on Nov. 12 that we halt all imports of oil from Iran. This would eliminate the use of oil as a powerful bargaining weapon by the students in the negotiations. Since the overthrow of the Shah in February 1978, the U.S. has been importing 700,000 barrels of a day. Refined products from Iran equal about 4 percent of the American supply. The embargo however, is not expected to drastically lower American supplies of oil as the oil that was to have been sold to the U.S. will be sold in the international market and will be available for purchase by American oil companies, though at a higher price. If Iran should decide to reduce world wide supplies by 4 percent, the U.S. could be in for a colder winter than anticipated. Moreover, a cutback would precipitate critical worldwide oil shortages and a significant hike in the price of a barrel of oil. The call by Carter to impose this restriction on the importation of Iranian oil will in no way serve as a punitive measure against Iran as it can easily dispose of the oil dn the market where it will in fact be demanding a greater price for the oil than was stipulated in contracts with U.S. oil companies. The action instead, is more of a symbolic move demonstrating the U.S.’s firm resolve not to submit to any form of economic pressures, rather than a practical move which would serve to coerce the students into releasing the hostages. Although Carter’s action has been greeted by wide support, many feel that Carter’s order was really nothing more than a public relations ploy. The U.S. froze all Iranian financial and property holdings in this country last Wednesday. An even more serious move might be the suspension of all farm shipments to Iran. The issue at stake is whether we should yield to blackmail and release a man Who is perceived to be a criminal by his countrymen, and acknowledged to be responsible for the murder of thousands of Iranians or hold to principles of international law and refuse to be budged by outlaw v diplomacy. i I There’s A Place For You At Hillel! visit rorrov <;ooo for I a siai.it:. iki;\(ii iiutis. * Are You On Our Mailing List?

I. j �1 • special report * Angry Americans vent frustrations on Iranian student demonstrators by Seth Goodchild City Editor Across the country, *' many in the U.S. have student takeover of the American embassy in Teheran with anger, venting their displeasure via demonstrations and—occasionally—violence. Frustrated by their inability to aid the hostages, many Americans have turned their rage on the 50,000 or so Iranian students in the country. Defending U.S. honor, they are rallying behind President Carter in a rare display of public support. Students at universities throughout the nation have resorted to a kind of jingoism, exhibiting a patriotic stand, not seen on campuses sihce jong before the turmoil of the Sixties. Incensed by American flag burnings, they have responded in kind—engulfing in flames effigies of Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini and Iranian flags. A new nationalism seems to have overtaken many in the U.S., who want to responded to tl# Iranian “patriotic” songs learned from their childhood. America the Beautiful and God Bless America have regained popularity. They have even turned to waving pictures of the ultimate American hero, John W^yne. In Houston, about 100 irate persons gathered in front of the Iranian embassy last Thursday and burned an Iranian flag, joining in on a chorus of patriotic songs. The group—which eventually grew to 500—was comprised largely of downtown workers during a lunch hour break. About 60 Iranian students had paraded through Hodston the day before and. the Thursday demonstration was believed to be a spur-of-the-moment reaction to the earlier march. In Portland, Oregon, about 25 Iranian students marched through the downtown area last Thursday shouting, “Death to the Shah.” Some 40 counter-demonstrators marched alongside, ripping the banners carried by the Iranians and shouting obscenities. ‘Deport, deport’ Many in the U.S. believe that Iranian students should no longer be welcome in this country. Iranians have refused to take a low profile and on occasion, others charge, seem to be looking out for trouble. And trouble is one thing that can be found. In Beverly Hills where 136 anti-Shah Iranian protesters were arrested, the Iranians defiantly carried out a protest march even though area police had received 25 or so threats from residents to shojot the protesters as soon as they crossed thi city line. They were eventually attacked by a mob shouting, “Deport! Deport!” inform the world of their weariness of this country’s new image in the world community—that of weakness. Many have taken to demonstrations to reassert this country’s strength which they perceive as slipping. Flag burnings The demonstrations have centered in the areas where the concentration of Iranian students is greatest—the Southwest, New York State and California. Americans have taken up singing On the University of Southern Illinois campus, 1000 students surrounded a small group of Iranians and all but held them captive until police moved in. But not all U.S. police are interested in protecting the Iranians. Time magazine quoted a New York City cop as saying, “Just let one of those bastards open his goddam mouth.” Federal officials have prohibited demonstrations on government property in Washington, D.C." whose mayor Marion Barry ordered city officials not to issue parade permits to either anti or pro-Iranian demonstrators Despite the ban, a group of Washington area students went ahead with plans for a demonstration outside the Iranian embassy. Events in Iran seem to have mobilized Washington area campuses in a way that no other issue has—including the anti-nuclear movements. i ‘everybody is upset’ “We’ve been trying for years to get students upset about anything,’’ George Washington University student newspaper editor Jeff Levey was quoted by The Washington Post as saying. He added the students did not seem to care about school issues, but noted that “everybody is upset” about the Iranians. Just a few years ago, many students were calling this country the same names Iranians are now using, names such as “imperialist” and “fascist.” Now they have found a totally different lexicon to describe America with—“scared” and “sick.” At George Washington University, for example, there are about 500 Iranians among the 18,000 students, making them the largest and most visible group of foreign students Lucian C.Parlato Attorney at -Law : DOLLARS 2 in your spare time!

Passports, student visas and letters from school officials were part of the identification required for the check. Iranians and Americans speak out on hostage crisis by Robbie Cohen National Editor “It’s not the fault of the American people,” said one UB Iranian student in reference to the emotional national reaction to the holding of 62 hostages at the American embassy in Teheran. “It’s the hews media; they’re not telling the people the truth,” said the Iranian student who requested not to be identified. The continuing international crisis brought on by the seizure of Teheran’s sprawling American diplomatic compound by thousands of angry Iranian students demanding the return of the former Shah, Reza Pahlevi, to stand trial for crimes against his people is now entering its third week with no solution in sight. The two sides, the Iranian students with the backing of the preeminent Iranian spiritual and political leader Ayatollah Khomeini, and the Carter administration, which is demanding the immediate release of the hostages, are no closer to a bargain than they were two weeks ago. Although the students have not set a deadline and appear to have relaxed their former intransigent position of no dialogue until the ailing former monarch is extradited from his New York hospital bed, Iran’s call for the convening of a United Nations Security Council meeting on the crisis could cause a breakthrough. Objective - do closer The, Carter administration has conceded that Us recent responses to the loggerhead situation—the cutoff of Iranian oil imports, an investigation of Iranian student illegals by the Immigration and Naturalization Service, and the freezing of all Iranian assets held in U.S. banks (estimated at upwards of $5 billion)—will not bring this objective any closer. Carter has played a cautious game of sitting tight and doing nothing to jeopardize the hostages’ lives, cautioning an indignant America that it also remains prudently mute for fear of the consequences. To what extent Americans have heeded or will heed the President’s advice, however, is highly debatable especially if overt threats to the lives of the hostages are delivered. The crisis has elicited the most vociferous outbursts from the American public since the Vietnam War. Whereas then the nation was decisively polarized, now liberals and conservatives, young and old alike, are outraged by this seemingly blatant affront to American pride and the “sanctimonious” rules of international law. Reluctant to talk There are approximately 115 Iranian students registered in graduate and undergraduate courses at UB, according to Vice President of Student Affairs Richard Siggelkow. While those Iranian students here who were interviewed by The Spectrum were at first reluctant to talk and insisted their names not be included, they generally approved of the holding of American hostages to secure the handing over of the Shah “to justice.” Echoing the arguments of the Ayatollah, one Iranian student contended that the American embassy was not a real embassy at all, just a nest of spies who were plotting the overthrow of the national revolution. It is on that basis, the student argued, that the invaders could break the normally inviolable rules of international law. Spy nests When confronted with the point that although embassies in many nations —notably the Soviet York and in missions New Washington—function as bases for extensive spy networks and that there is no precedent for the host nation condoning a seizure—the Iranian student replied that the CIA inspired overthrow of Modasseq (the leader of the 1953 revolution against the Shah) is still fresh in his countrymen’s minds. “We will not let this happen again,” the student said. The Iranian students interviewed were adamant that the Shah is a cold blooded murderer and treasonous criminal and deserves no sympathy for his cancer affliction. “It’s a simple question of human rights,” he said, “if America harbored a butcher-like Eichmann or any other Nazi war criminal and said he deserved medical treatment because he was fatally ill, don’t you think the world would be outraged? it’s the same thing with the Shah, he has brutally murdered thousands of innocent Iranians and oppressed the entire nation, isn’t it right that he be delivered to justice?” Another student couldn’t understand why the U.S. doggedly refuses to exchange one murderous criminal for 62 of their countrymen. A third Iranian, recounting how he was verbally abused by an American UB student, said he couldn’t get angry at him because the individual was pathetically ignorant of the realities of the Shah’s oppression, adding the student was brainwashed by distorted American media coverage. Status check—harassment? All the Iranians interviewed felt the crisis would eventually be resolved and the American hostages released. When asked if they consider a check on the status of the 50,000 Iranian students in the U.S. ordered by Carter last- Sunday, harrassment, they demurred from saying yes or no at this time. All of the U.S. students approached on campus expressed outrage at the hostage blackmail, although none were in favor of an immediate American military response. One student, Jim Taglialatela asserted, “The people who scuffled with Iranian demonstrators in Houston last week and others who were picking fights are basically a bunch of rednecks, they hate foreigners.” Another student, Chris Hoak, said that if an Iranian rally did materialize at UB, he would be . on hand to join a counter-demonstration. “There’s no reason why we should submit to their blackmail and give them back the Shah,” Hoak said. �a \ ' , &r :n r* r The cross-pollination of love and music — see page 10— �I { y Journey Through the Secret Life of Plants' Omni-visionary by Steven S. Schwartz From the ever-evolving composer/lyricist/producer/musician/vS ocalist, Stevie Wonder. new species has arisen: his journey Through the Secret Life H of Plants. Thii double album contains I traditional Stevie Wonder songs along with several that represent a departure from the style we are accustomed to The departures are extensions from his last album, Songs in the Key of Life, and they take the form of instrumentals. Several of the instrumentals have strong classical influences, including the opening track, “Earth's Creation," a haunting synthesized piece employing mixed time signatures In fact, the first three titles of the album are instrumentals. The album's greatest drawback is the large number of instrumentals recorded. Granted, it is a soundtrack album (for a documentary entitled, “The Secret Life of Plants"), but as pretty as the songs are, 2 r. & * ° they are not outstanding; they are not where Stevie Wonder's strengths lie In fact, most of the instrumentals are versions of songs he sings on other tracks. For an album that took three years to make, I expected the instrumentals to have at least their own melodies. Foreign intrigue . As in Songs in the Key of Life, we are served a meal of international dishes In "Voyage to India," we hear his synthesizer remind us of George Harrison's "Within*,, You, Without You." Later, there is "Ai No Sono," where a chorus of Japanese children sing off-key in their native tongue "Kesse Ye Lolo De Ye" is sung in Bambara, bathed amid djeba drums, higa drurjis and more in a pool of percussion. A lovely stringed instrument, the kora, rings out notes in the background. The songs containing Stevie Wonder's more traditional tunes again highlight tl album. Reversing his trend of becoming less involved in all the musical phases his songs, he has returned to the ways 01 his first album, Music of My Mind, and has made this album a virtual one-man creation. His drumming irmore daring bold: notice his tom-tom work on "Flow Power" and his loose and flowing high-l throughout the album. He and his programming associates have brought tl synthesizer to new levels of musical trueness and versatility. The orchestral string section programs, for example, h, reached the highest level of realism to date. He uses the synthesizer as a vocai medium on several songs, including "Venus Flytrap and Bug," a jazzy numbei where Stevie plays the bug and scats hi way into and around the flower, only to be consumed: "Please don't eat me," lv the synthesizer Journey __ cries Of all of Stevie Wonder's talents, his most commercial ones, his vocals and harmonica playing, still carry the album Stevie's first words sung, after the opening instrumentals, are as welcome as Spring in Buffalo. His smoo-oth, slightly nasal, reassuring voice could calm a freshman during finals, and put a smile on the face of a Chrysler stockholder. (Remember that George Benson became commercially successful after he adopted Stevie Wonder's vocal style). His harmonica solos retain the freshness of his first hit, at age entitled, "Fingertips" We hear him hold his longest notes on his slow ballads like ''Black Orchid'' or the title song, "The Secret Life of Plants,” a song strongly reminiscent of "Visions," from his third album Innervisions. Stevie tries a falsetto on "Flower Power," a classy, catchy song with a steady, powerful snare drum providing the frame. His lively, upbeat, joyous songs, the Slavic Wonder's new oflartng at welcome as "Isn't She Lovely" type, are represented in this album by "Outside My Window," where Stevie finds his sweetest loveplants This Will surely be a commercial hit. "A Seed's a Star" and "Tree Medley" was recorded live, in a foreign republic (African?). We hear Stevie being introduced in two languages, the crowd cheering, and the song opening with electric guitar chords in a wave of percussion. Then we hear him sing out in a way unheard of since "Another Star" from Songs in the Key of Life. The song could be his most powerful ever, containing several vocalists, including Stevie playing the part of the tree, through *• UUAB Film and SA Commuter Affairs Spring in Buffalo' I present «»J For disco fans, he has included “Race Babbling," a disco extravaganza, where we again find verses sung through the synthesizer so that notes can turn into inhuman sounds at the end of phrases. The album's theme, obviously, is about plants Wonder's lyrics are not profound yet his message is cleaHy conveyed He is again preaching —this time it is for us to discover and to love the world of plants The world he creates by music and song and talking in between; by thunder, by rain and by bird songs and insect buzzing, becomes your world when you listen to the album; turn down the lights and let your mind go. The album is indeed complex The second track, “The First Carden," uses animal sounds, thunder, and rain, to put you in an imaginary jungle. (The effects were recorded from live animals at zoos.) The instrumental "Seasons” opens with a mother telling her child a bedtime story with winter winds building in the background. After careful listening you notice the chorus of "Flower Power" mingling with the winds. In his "Send One Your Love" instrumental you find yourself in conversation with Stevie at a table in a French nightclub, while the band is playing the song. The sounds of the surf send you off on your "tyoyage to India." Like all his albums, this one was impeccably recorded. It will also win its share of Grammy awards. The decade's last album of one of the most important artists of the decade leaves us in eager anticipation for his next work, for we are sure he will continue to grow. After all he isn't thirty years old yet. In the meantime, join the journey through the secret life of plants and enjoy.

I m Studio Arena has 'Wild Desires' by RalphAllen There is no denying that the playwrightsthat truly make a living from their craft find it to their advantage to mime the lighter side of life for their dramaturgy. Neil Simon has made a fortune out of this principle. So might John Tobias. N Tobias is the author of the production that opened last Friday at the Studio Arena, My Husband's Wild-Desires Nearly Drove Me Mad. While the production might be snubbed by gaunt theater aesthetes burning with a vision of theater as scathing social commentary, even they would not be able to deny the well-crafted construct of the play. Yes, it doesn't go any deeper into its subject of sexual mores than an episode of Three is Company might, but it never said it would. Wild Desires centers on the hijinks of one thoroughly modern couple as they try to bring the thrill back into their bedroom. They adopt a modified open marriage to allow themselves "to live their fantasies" as one of the afflicted couple, the buxom Mrs. Griffin says. What follows is a hilarious mise-en-scene as various men are pressed into becoming unwilling amateur sex therapists. Frothy fare There is no mistaking that it is all in fun, as Tobias uses the situation to comment on the fanaticism with which individuals will cling to the latest panacea for ultimate sexual bliss. As he says, "A steady bombardment of media hype and pop psychology influences men and women of all ages to feel inadequate and out of it unless they're performing like feverish sexual athletes . .. constantly reexamining themselves to find out why they're not." If the cast seems particularly comfortable with \ I this frothy fare. It's probably because most of them are veteran television actors. The virile-looking husband who can't get it up, Mr. Griffin (William Andrews) is probably the most visible to audiences, as he's been both on commercials as well as daytime soaps He's a broad farce as he constantly plays his innate image of macho against his effeminate put-ons. His wife, Mrs. Griffin (Rosemary Prinz) as a woman up on all the/latest fads is an amusing partner for Mr. Griffin. Her earnesty in carrying out her pop sexual therapy to the letter is amusing. Familiarity of TV Connelly, the rotund janitor (Rex Everhart) and the burglar (Mac Intyre Dixon) in the production are good male figures that play off the desperate couple. And Louise (Alice Drummond) as thd prim sister of Mrs. Griffin whose blood suddenly turns lusty, rounds out the play well. The audiences have cheered this world premiere of Wild Desires directed by Stephen Porter. While the (>ulk of the audience of Wild Desires might not be seen at any of the other theater productions around town, they do know what they like. The familiarity of television in the foreign world of theater is much appreciated by the occasional theater goer. Wild Desires is.light comedy. It is good light comedy and as such the criteria used for soulsearching dramaturgy doesn't apply. As long as Wild Desires isn't mistaken for something other than it is, audiences will not be disappointed. If we are going to have light comedy, then we should have the best light comedy possible. Wild Desires is a substantial step in that >•*" direction.

The Broadway play Fiddler on the Roof has a familiar ring to it. It stands second to Crease as the longest running play in Broadway history, and a tear-jerking 'rendition of "Sunrise, Sunset" seems to be inevitably played at every wedding reception. Producer director Norman Jewison felt obligated and honored to bring this successiful play to the silver screen. The result was a 1972 movie that is currently being re-released across the country. The attempt by Jewison to capture the play's enthusiasm and sensitivity almost succeeds. The fault of the film occurs ironically enough when special film techniques are used. Instead of further capturing the sensitivity of the story, Jewison's cliched filming techniques nearly ruin his picture. Consider the scenes involving Tevye and his three daughters.. Each daughter wants to break tradition with their proposed marrriages. The oldest daughter wants her father to cancel a film marriage Evolving an did butcher and herself made by the matchmaker. The second daughter vows to marry a man without her father's consent, while the third daughter dares to marry outside her Jewish faith. Each daughter confronts Tevye with their respective problems, and each confrontation js disappointingly conveyed the same way. We see the daughter's eyes superimposed over those of her pensive father. This cinematic technique is barely tolerable the first time, and totally unacceptable the third time round. It ultimately leads to an uneasy case of double deja vu If I were. The rest of the movie compensates for this poor filmic ploy. Tevye's likeable character is established early through his tongue-in-cheek appeals to Cod. The dialogue flows smoothly and naturally into music, when Tevye's daughters break * Fiddler on ItM root Topol plays an Impoverished milkman into achorus of "Matchmaker." There is also an idea established that the fiddler's tunes serve as Tevye's personal metaphor for the Jewish faith. The tunes, like his faith, inspire Tevye as he confronts various trials. These tunes are actually solos performed by classical violinist Isaac Stern The acting also is a joy.

Thomas R Cocola — �4 ./ Edge of modern drama 'Woyzeck' at Harriman Studio by Anne F. Fleche Woyzeck, playing at the Harriman Theater through November 18, is a rare treat, a must-see. Written in the 1830s by a young scientist named Georg Buchner, Woyzeck, is often referred to as the first "modern'' play It has influenced Brecht antf the Absurdists, and is the subject of a recent film. The scenes are self-contained and concise, the tone tragic, Its universe absurd, the hero a common figure The play hardly shows its age. Based on an early 19th century murder trial, Woyzeck is the story of a soldier who kills his mistress. The plot is this simple. For to his superiors, Woyzeck is not an individual with feelings and motivations, treated as a gi/inea pig by thie Doctor, and a mindless slave by the Captain, he is to them just another soldier, a faceless commodity, as alike as the peas that comprise his daily diet. Ffe is defined solely by his function, by the way the professionals can use him. Woyzeck is, however, for precisely this reason, very real to us: we recognise at once the real tragedy of the devalued human life, the horror and degradation of treating a man like an animal or a machine. His actions become isolated, deprived of a meaningful context. His life is hopeless, fragmented, absurd Marie, Woyzeck's mistress, is the only other character in the play who is developed as well, and her murder is the ultimate expression of Woyzeck's hopeless situation. The play is about a murder, and Woyzeck's function in the life of the play is to murder Marie He is associated, indeed, with the razor and the knife. He is a human razor, to paraphrase the Captain, a function within a function. Woyzeck's tragedy In Neal production, Woyzeck is literally a circus. The audience is invited to witness a sideshow, and the actors are in carnival dress. It is an interesting concept, and one not out of harmony SPecon Chinese 3118 Main St.-837-6776 Fried Chicken Wings with Chinese Mixed Vegetables and White Rice Fried Chicken Wings with Black Bean Sauce, Mixed Vegetable * White Rice Fried Chicken Wings with Oyster Sauce.

Sun.Noon t Op SJT, of pond Jerry Di Croce puts in much effort as Woyzeck; surviving his nightly drubbing by Jim Whiting (the Drum Major),, alone amounts to something beyond the call of duty. But too often he says his lines as if he isn't thinking about what they mean. Surely the tragedy is*hat Woyzeck cannot make his thoughts and feelings understood, not that there is nothing to understand. Cheryl High, as Marie, does not really begin to convey any of the part's pathos or the character's earthy allure The two best-developed roles in the play are performed here with the least imagination. Ben Rossett, D J Baker, Bob Moss, and James B Munson, as the Captain, Doctor, Sergeant, and Andres respectively, are more entertaining, and in certain scenes produce an oppressive, ominous effect that does a certain justice to the power of the play. At these moments, the music, so helpful for cueing transitions in the Woyzeck/Marie scenes, ts Scarcely necessary. There is also something fresh and sharp about Amy Hoffman (Kathy) who somehow emerges as a real presence in the scenes at the Inn. Woyzeck is an ambitious, creative production, and one obviously requiring much'from its actors. It is a brief, brilliant play, as brief and brilliant as Georg Buchner's life, and an important moment in the history of modern theater. To see it performed is an event Dr. Martin E. Marty SPECIALS Opmn with the play's absurd universe and its ringside view of the human-being-as-display. Op the other hand, it clutters up the play's strikingly stark simplicity. which is perhaps its most brilliant feature, and obscures some of the clinical conciseness of the scenes. One might also have wished to see the Captain in all his exaggerated glory as Captain, instead of the comical dress of a circus clown.

Robin Williamson's third album for Flying Fish harkens back to his Incredible String Band period that survived a nine-year stint between 1965 and 1974. His Merry Band is a tight ensemble of harps, penny whistles, bagpipes, flutes, concertinas, fiddles, and guitars all manipulated by the dexterous digits of (our'masters. Robin himself is a self-professed archivist of tunes and poetry in the Celtic tradition. However, he is not content merely to recapitulate these dusty influences. The majority of tunes are entirely the product of Williamson's fertile powers that create a time-warping sense of ancestral detail. The mournful harmonium overlayed with shrill whistles sires you down "The Road the Gypsies Co Sylvia Wood's lucid harp vamps for Williamson's roguish ballad, "Me and the Mad Girl."

Their debut for Flying Fish finds them cooking with an old recipe. Start with a healthy portion of Grade A material composed by other people. Season with original and compelling arrangements (just a pinch of the old rock and roll). Fire it with some of the hottest pickin' this side of David Crisman. They call it new grass, William Griffin's mandolin phrasings fly off his fretboard tike grease on a hot skillet. Guitarists Cyrus Clarke and David West, and banjo player Jeff Ruff also show a predilection for the sizzling fare. "Columbus Stockade," "Dixieland Lady," and "Joanne" are the blowing cuts here. On "Stockade" the Drifters 3pply the brakes to a runaway locomotive and settle into a groove reminiscent of the Dead's treatment of "I Know You Rider." On "Joanne" they interchange waltz time and a romping shuffle to evoke the laziness of hovering smoke. Ruff's rock and roll banjo quickly clears the air in the rollicking middle section. An attempt to timely material degenerates into an absurd bluegrass reading of Bob Marley's classic, "I Shot the Sheriff." (I'm proud to be a Rasta in Muskogee?). Likewise, "Angel From Montgomery" finds the Drifters stuck on George Jetson's out-of-control treadmill ("Jane, stop this crazy thing!") The superior versions by John Prine and Bonnie Raitt sound slow-footed by comparison TVs this puzzling commercial afterthought that haunts the otherwise promising debut effort Tin Pin Alley Jhe Red Clay Ramblers sure make a joyful noise on Chuckin' the Frizz, their fourth album for Flying Fish. But bluegrass music always sounds best when a wailin' band is rallied by a high-spirited audience The Ramblers juggle a peculiar assortment of influence on this live album that accommodates both humor and sincerity Two original compositions, "Thoroughly African Man" and "Baby Grand," sound vaguely like Randy Newman in their Tin Pan Alley voicings. Mike Graver takes his piano into relatively unchartered waters. Jelly Roll Morton meets Bill Monroe in a pleasing clash of styles, "Tilly Take Your'Time" is a classic blues from the Bessie Smith stable. Bill Hicks' saws his fiddle like a Papa John Creach disciple. "Wahoo Wahoo Wahoo" is Western swing in the Commander Cody mold, albeit a bit farcical: "Old Woman Lament" powerfully confronts America's toilet assumption' method of flushing away the problems of the aged: I am an old woman helpless and weak And my room it is filled with death Confined to my bed I can scarce cry for help With what remains of my breath In the immortal words of Peter Townshend, "I hope 1 die before I get old." But just when you're ready to dismiss this idealized world of clear complections and noble intentions, Schmidt belts out a lusty version of that old chestnut, "Since I Fell For You." Although the high notes are heavenly, the messge is ground level. The traditional ballad "Horse Thief" adds a touch of humor as a gent unknowingly surrenders his horse to the fair maiden; Oh no, kind sir/ said the maid, ‘you’re mistaken To think that this cold morning will do me some hardm There's one thing I crave and it lies twixt your legs If you’ll give me that it will keep me warm.

Barron ? 1 With one stroke, the great cellist Rostropovich can play 250 strings And several horns, flutes and drums The master is now also maestro. Mstislav Rostropovich, acclaimed violin-cellist, has conducted another gem. Tchaikovsky's "Manfred" Symphony (Angel) is one of a series of recordings he has recently released with the London Philharmonic. "He always wants a special color He wants the sections to be soloists," UB Assistant Professor of Music Burgess analyzed This is particularly apparent in the passage in the first movement begun shortly after the entrance of the harp, and concluded with the harp's re-entry. When compared to the Toscanini rendition, Rostropovich's is slightly slower The horns are more powerful, the strings less dominant, the drums more prominent. The harp's second appearance is far more eminent. As a whole, the section is more powerful, triumphant, and effective The symphony itself is more accurately a symphonic poem It is based on Manfred, a character invented by Lord Byron Each movement of the symphony's score is preceded by an introduction telling of the hero's fate Manfred is suggested throughout the symphony by a theme played by three bassoons and one bass clarinet —an idee fixe. Berlioz previously used this technique in Symphonic Fantastique Intriguing symphony The opening of the symphony is rather intriguing Parts of A-bomb made simple John Aristotle Philips went to Berkeley. Then he went to Princeton. Out of the frying pan and into the choir. He left that hotbed of radicalism and reform for that hotbed of frats, 'eating clubs' and faggots in Ivy League clothing. John became the Tiger, Princeton's mascot; he joined a prestigious eating club, dressed in drag for the kicktine of the annual Triangle Club show and started delivering pizzas with his roommate. Along the way he fucked up in school, and to get back in the good graces of the Physics Department, John designed an atomic bomb for his Junior Project. Now the fun'starts. John's paper gets classified by the government. The Pakistanis try to talk him into giving them the design. So dies a mysterious journalist named "Guiseppe Verdini." Oh, come now The FBI foils the Paki plot and Verdini melts into the background. John gives interviews to every publication, big or small, in the Western world. He appears on Midday Live with Bill .Boggs and Isaac Asimov. A big Hollywood producer wants csji^liieran Do you believe this? Is this all real? This guy would have us believe that he spent a whole semester jerking off and delivering pizza —and that he got himself some smarts and a little declassified government information ahd designed, on his own, a small (beachball sized) atomic bomb theoretically capable of%iping out "one-quarter of Manhattan." What you don't know and I do know is the true story. I heard it from some guy in a bar in the London airport last year. A Pakistani, I think . You see, the kid had dug quite a hole for himself. In order to avoid expulsion, he'd concocted this wild scheme to design a fission bomb . and he'd suckered Freeman Dyson, an eminent physicist, into being his advisor for the project Dyson, however, failed to be suckered into divulting any relevant or classified information So now John's ass was right up against the wall. The design was due in a week, and all he knew about A-bombs was that when the fell, they went BOOM! John was wandering around the Princeton campus that afternoon, cursing his luck and considering the chances of his getting hired as a male model for J Press, when he ran smack into Enrico Neutrino. ., You can fool The geezer, father of the A-bomb or the . . . they went BOOM!' to make a movie of his life. This boy is barely twenty-one. John only insists that he get to play himself in the flick. What'' impudence! CBS will never go for it. The big shots like his spunk, though, and they give in. John gets to do his screen-test with a beautiful babe he met a few nights earlier at a real Hollywood party. Beachball blow-up All John really wants to do is fly east, back to his pizza partner and co-writer, David Michaelis. He's tired of all the media hype —the "whoopie." H-bomb, was sitting on a bench, feeding the pigeons and making lewd suggestions to the preppy young boys who passed by. John, recognizing a celebrity, thought quickly, and struck a deal with the ancient pervert, and for the price of something rather sleazy and kind of unmentionable, acquired his design The upshot of this encounter was that John had a wild time, dodging Pakis and snorting Coke, 'though he never did get to meet Margaux Hemingway'. . . And as the “whoopee" began to die down; he and roomie David decided to cash in by writing a book con boys may have been able to palm their crud off on some senile publisher who went to Yale 40 years ago, and whose brain is so martini-soaked by now that he believes that college is still Ivy-covered walls and sport jackets-withpatches-on-the-elbows, and that any American boy can grow up to design an A-bomb. They can't fool me, though I know what college is really like Nobody's going to make a movie about me, not unless they call it “Portrait of the Jerk-Off as a Young Man." If I can design a way to wake up in time for my one p.m class, I'm making headway. Golden boy mushrooms People like this really piss me off They spend their time sailing and reading the Wall Street lournal, then they design a bomb and trip off to Hollywood, and then write books about it. After that they live haopily ever after on Martha's Vineyard, drinking rum and cokes and screwing their secretaries. What gets to me is that this geek has the gall, the enormous, unmitigated gall, to try and justify all of this in the name of raising social consciousness He says he's seriously concerned about the problems of seriously nuclear safeguards. I think concerned about meeting Margaux Hemingway.

Bob Weir—who by this point had established himself as the leader of the band—then led the rest of the Grateful Dead back on stage. A freeze frame of the Sixties Friday night the Grateful Dead turned back the clock, treating their fans to a three and a half hour show featuring mostly older material. In addition, The Dead performed a couple of songs from Garcia's solo albums, as well as a tune by Kingfish (Bob Weir's former band). The band opened up the first set of its nirieteen song show with "Alabama Get Away" which will be on their next album. This led right into "The Promised Land," an old Dead favorite. By this time, it was already apparent that Brent Mydland, the new keyboardist for the Grateful Dead, was more than an adequate substitute for Keith Codchaux. However, all was not well for the Grateful Dead Jerry Garcia,.the band's lead guitar player, seemed angry throughout most of the first set Only occasionally did a smile come to his face. As a result, the jamming which the Dead are so famous for was not as tight as it could have been. While Phil Lesh (bass), Weir (rhythm guitar), and Mydland were jamming well together, Garcia sounded as if he had gotten lost in the crowd . Ovate The Dead then finished up with "Warf Rat," "I Need A Miracle Every Day," "Bertha," and an old favorite—"Good Lovin'.Each song built to a oew level of excitement and Weir's vocals on "Bertha" really got the crowd going. By "Good Lovin'," everybody in the Aud was dancing on their seats Garcia—a new man in the second set—showed the crowd that he is still one of the greatest guitar players in the world. Occasionally he would look up and give a smile of approval, and each time the crowd would respond with a roar. Following a ten-minute standing ovation, the Cratefdl Dead came bacC for an electrifying encore The fans were screaming for "St. Stephen' and "Uncle John's Band" but Bob Weir and company had a real surprise in store for us. As soon as the first chord was struck the crowd went wild and Garcia serenaded us with a chorus of "US Blues." Mydland's keyboards came through crystal clear, and it was apparent that he had truly become a member of the Grateful Dead. At the close of the show I couldn't help but be awed by what I had heard and seen. The Graceful Dead are the definitive American Rock-n-Roll band Garcia summed it up during the encore —"I'm Uncle Sam That's who I am Been hiding out in i rock-n-roll band No other band in the world can gear its show to an individual audience like the Grateful Dead. The Memorial Auditorium was packed with an older audience than I have seen at Dead Concerts for the past few years.

With each song the band seemed to get stronger and by the end of the set, even Garcia was happy The second set opened with "Dancin in The featuring the new Disco Dead Streets," sound At this point it was clear that the Grateful Dead had their fans in the palms of their hands Next came "Franklin's Tower" —a real show stopper Here Mydland showed that he is not only a proficient keyboard player but also an excellent singer He filled in for Donna Codchaux so well that her absence from the stage went practically unnoticed After an exciting version of "Estimated Profit' " ' 38 Special repeats Maestro 38 Special, Rockin' Into The Night the trigger to — Unfortunately for 38 Special, the brotherly relationship between lead singer Donnie Van Zant and Ronnie from the once Lynyrd Skynyrd may prove to be a stereotyped expectation for all Crazy (A&M) A Different Kind of Crazy with the emergence of some disco Head East, can be taken literally as the title for their hew release Rockin' Into The-Night has a combination of two styles of play Some southern rock, which is by far their strongest point on Somehow after listening to this romantic rock, I felt that I had heard i$ all before There is just that certain sound of Ffead East that assimilates and connects their music with that of previous compositions.

' A disappointing turn appears in Keep A Secret," yes another set has appeared on the disco circuit I thought there's never been any reason for disco, maybe Head East has been fooling listeners these past few years The first movement of the score was prefaced with the suggestion that Manfred is "tormented by recollections of past crimes . and is torn by fatal questions of existence." You can feel this anguish, especially through Rostropovich's masterful use of pauses.,. Rodgers and Hammerstein must have been influenced by the third movement of "Manfred." The opening bars strikingly resemble "Sound of Music," and half way through the "Andante con moto" a melody very similar to "Climb Every Mountain" appears. This is not unreasonable, though. The prelude of this passage describes it as "the peaceful life of the mountaineers." The disc itself is of good quality. It is housed in a completely transparent anti-static jacket. There were a few audible pops, particularly in the fourth movement. Although "Manfred" is in parts exciting and beautiful, Tt is a long symphony (one hour). It requites a patient Listener It does not win the audience at the outset, as other works by Tchaikovsky do (his First Piano Concerto, for example).

DUE advisor Jackie Cramer believes there are other problems facing students besides the size of the University and lack of advisors. “Some students enter the University and are committed to law, engineering, or medicine. Then after their first chemistry test, begin to have second thoughts this creates very uncqmfortable feelings toward the whole University system, and can lead to eventual attrition from the school,” Cramer remarked. Lack of advisors was listed as a major reason for attrition in an administration report released over the summer. Cramer explained that advisors most frequently deal with problems of course selection, undecided majors and the mechanical errors dealing with computers. Healey noted that DUE is also concerned with . . . alleviating the problems of a large university, the frustrations of dealing with the “system,” and creating the key to sensibly guidance. An important program organized by DUE is the peer advisor alternative. Peer advisors are students trained by DUE for two semesters in dealing with academic and career difficulties. Peer advisor Steven Crandall believes the program is a success, noting, “We are facing the same problems that students face, and we can give good advice on registration, what courses to take and what teachers .’it is easier to relate to someone your own age rather than an older adult.” Healey believes that, “Peer advisors are able to give a good student perspective and also maintain a professional attitude.” At the present there arc 10 peer advisors, eight in training, and further expansion is . . planned. Exploratory student advisement is another form of counseling centered towards the student who cannot narrow his or her interests into a specific major. Workshops have been established to introduce career goals in relation to interests. A one credit-hour freshman colloquium is taught by the DUE staff that introduces students to a vast array of academic programs in the early collegiate years. Healy explained that the purpose is to head unsure students in the direction of their interests, and make them aware of the services offered by the University. “We would eventually like to see this as a freshman requirement,” she said. Tues., Nov. 27 th Experience the Incredible DIASPORA VESHIVA BAND From Jerusalem Insulation top concern as UB sets for winter by June Barnett Stuff Writer Spectrum Concerned that UB will be spending alot of money this Winter in fuel bills ancTat the same time trying to abide by President Carter’s 65 degree thermostat limit* University maintenance is now taking steps to ensure proper insulation of campus buildings. ‘‘Dormitories are a particular concern,” said Amherst Physical Plant Director Dean Fredericks, “because they are buHt using single pane glass (for windows).There should be thermal or even storm windows—especially in Governors. Many dorms on the Amherst Campus will have storm or thermal windows installed. Governors is first on the list, Fredericks said. Goveftiors’ heating system, which pumps heat up into radiators, was designed as an energy conscrver but its effectiveness has been stymied by the building’s structure a maintenance worker explained. Governors has a lot of overhangs, most of which have not been sealed, leaving floors exposed to the outside (555,000 corking job on the overhangs of Ellicott is estimated to have saved UB about $140,000 a year.) “There is no incentive to conserve”, poodyear Head Resident Gary DeWaal said, “people don’t think of dorms as reality, whereas at home you would turn off lights as you leave a room.” DeWaal also believes “There can be better control, possibly through an energy awareness � * Avraham Rosenblum, lead guitarist; veteran musician; formerly with (Byu) BiHy Preston . . . , Live! Squire Hall: 8 p.m. program.” But overall this University is doing well in conservation, according to Vice President for Facilities Planning John Neal. “Yes, UB is doing a good job in terms of energy per square foot,” he said. "Every year the figures become lower.” “Except for a couple of early buildings designed in the 1960’s that are not as efficient as we would like them to be,” Neal added. Most of the buildings designed after 1973 (located in the Academic Spine) are good in saving energy, the Vic President explained, noting that Capen Hall was specifically designed to that end. On the other hand, said Neal, “I would guess that the kitchens in dorms use a lot of energy, but not as much as laboratories.” The system for the Main Street Campus which also controls Ridge Lea—is having a hard time keeping up with President Carter’s new law. Director of the Main Street Physical Plant Raymond Reining said “It is totally impossible to live up to the President’s guidelines.” The old buildings are tagged as the problem. Even though some ot them do have storm windows (such as Goodyear), they leak and use alot of heat. A program now in the planning stage will renovate the old campus. Years ago, energy was not important. Reining said. “But now here on Main Street, we use 15,000 tons of coal in a nine month period. Last year we burned 120,000 gallons of oil and this year it will probably be twice as much.” Most of the campus is heated by steam energy, which is manually controlled, Reining explained. This year a new electron computer controls the supply. It programs air fans to cycle so many minutes per hour, shuts off at night and on weekends and comes on at a certain time in the morning. isi£'S3 ■&-** A unique blend of folk, country-western, CbasskKc, and rock 1977,1978 winners of the Israeli Chassidic Festival U/B Main Street Campus Free Parking Tickets: ‘350 Students ‘250 Tickets sold at door Advance Ticket Sale: Chabad Table- Squire Hall (U/B) Ticket office Office; Hillel House; Temple Beth Zion; Temple Shaarey Zedek (Getzville Bldg.)

The State doesn’t provide this University with enough money so we can pay salaries of all the faculty members it needs. Departments compete with each other, trying to emphasize why one over another deserves funding for faculty salaries and programs. Not everyone gets what they want. Result; morale and educational quality suffer. Alternatives: Various departments turn towards outside sources to secure funding. For example,.faculty salaries are written into research grant proposals; departments from a State institution seek out new For the fourth semester in a row.

If the department of Communication is sucessful in its attempt to bring in money from private sources such as the UB Foundation or the Alumni Association, this alternative may become more attractive to other budgetstarved departments. Competition between the University’s departments would grow from a subtle scampering for students to an all out battle for money from private sources. Picture two departments giving their sales pitches, each trying to convince the same private source that it needs the money more than the other ... the already taut threads holding the University together would snap. Despite this, individual departments may survive,and even flourish—but only for the short term. Albany sees that we are capable of attracting private money and decides to further mutilate our meager budget. Private money eventually dries up or moves elsewhere and we are in a position worse than before. Result: morale and educational quality suffer. It is the State’s obligation to atTeast maintain the quality of its largest university center. Instead, the University is slipping Into mediocrity, as noted in Newton Carver's statement to the presidential evaluation committee. The decision-makers in the Division of Budget should cringe when SUNY schools must turn to private sources for funding. We should be spending our time trying to attract private monies for supplementary needs, basic necessities such as faculty. But of course, Buffalo is a lot farther than 250 miles from the hearts and minds in .the Capital. We know that w« cannot fight the war on two fronts—because one battle jeopardizes the other. So where are we—in a no win situation. Catch-22. Face the music We could tell you exactly what the establishment media has been telling their readership and listener-viewing audiences. That is remain calm and don't do anything to endanger the safety of the 62 American hostages held captive at the American Embassy in Teheran. We could say that Carter and company have everything in hand and that we must close ranks and leave the delicate negotiating to the statesmen at the top. We could, but we won't. It's gotten too redundant at this point. What we would like to say is that buried under the jingoistic public reaction to the hostage crisis is the truth of America’s three-dgcade history of complicity in the Shah's murderous and repressive rule over Iran. The Iranians have every right to be angry about Rockefeller and Kissinger’s concern for the outlaw ruler’s health, a concern with which our President agreed. We're not condoning angry student mobs’ actions, actions which fly in the face of all accepted rules of international law. No, all we’re saying is that if one makes the most cursory study of America’s brazen disregard for human rights in this Near Eastern region, then the seemingly fanatical and violent Iranian reaction becomes that much more understandable. The Shah is an Iranian Eichmann. Sure the Shah was out staunch ally and friend for 30 years, but is that a rationale for harboring his blood-soaked majesty? Would we grant asylum to an ailing Josef Mengele (the butcher of Auschwitz) if he too sought,asylum here? The Shah eventually has to face the music tor his outrages. No, we shouldn't turn him directly over the the zealot Ayatollah, not right now when we're under the gun. But we should make it clear to the people of Iran we will cooperatp in their efforts to recover the billions he stole from the country after his ouster, and that we do understand their righteous indignation—a simple statement and a promise to throw the rascal out, and the hostages should be forthcoming. Fighting retrenchment To the Editor: Last week’s The Spectrum article on "Low Enrollment Lay Off Faculty” cited Dr. George Hochfield, Chairman of the Academic Planning Committee, as thinking it might be best “to retrench now and gel it over with to spare later grief.” Could Force University to I like George, but this is a screwball idea. It reminds me of the man who realized that he might someday die in an auto accident, so he committed suicide to prevent it. But there are other issues involved, too. Firstly, retrenchment is not a proper matter for some planning committee to determine; by law and contract the Issue of retrenchment is reserved to our Union. We will combat any attempt by other faculty groups to involve themselves in this issue because what we need above all is solidarity and concerted action, not collaboration with management or piecemeal efforts. This above all is an issue where we will either hang together or separately. UUP’s approach Is no collaboration, period. Secondly, UUP now has a precisely defined position on retrenchment, adopted by our Chapter and unanimously accepted by our State Delegate Assembly. It Is that we will combat all retrenchment efforts, will not ever assist the administration to retrench, and will demand documentary proof that no other option is open. In short, we mean to have no retrenchments short of the actual bankruptcy of the SUNV system. The reason is that retrenchment to date at other places has been a result of administrative incompetence or caprice. "Fiscal need” has been shown by the Legislature s Committee on Higher Education to be bogus and attempts to “define the circumstances and procedures" only give legitimacy|o a spurious claim. Finally, the claim that low enrollments. ari a justification for retrenchment is also spurious. UB actually has more undergraduates than last year but the system for counting them has changed due to the implementation of the Springer report, as Dean Peradotto has stressed. To fire faculty because of an accounting change is insane and UUP hereby puts everyone on notice that we will not accept this under any circumstances.' The only, way we can deal effectively with the retrenchment issue is to insist that we will not accept these spurious arguments nor will we-permit retrenchment to take place. Period. William S. Allen President, SUNY/Buffalo Chapter of UUP Editor's Note: The Spectrum article of November 7 may have been misleading, creating the impression that Professor Hochfield believed the "retrench now and get it ovepwith" argument was the better course of action. In fact, he merely told us that that was one of the two theories- While Professor Hochfield may or may not believe that, the article did not mean to imply he was in favor of immediate retrenchment. Taken wrong To the Editor: general teaching and resting is a talent acquired through experience. If sufficient instruction on how to It has been brought to my attention that a previous letter of mine has been interpreted by some as antiPharm D. I regret that the tone of that letter necessiated alienation of some groups. The importance of stimulating dialogue between student and faculty overrides an alternate letter with a milder tone. The letter was aimed at the apathetic student—ready to complain, cut always to the wrong people. I certainly had no intention of embarassing nor insulting any faculty. I respect the degree of Pharm D. What was stated however, is the obvious fact that in teach and test is not made available to,the junior members of the faculty, then the possibility exists that the teaching may in parts be somewhat idealistic in goals, and that the test may in parts be somewhat trivial. Again, the intent of the letter was clear; Faculty, you may want of improvement, listen to your students’ and students, either input to your faculty or put up with what is going around. Please accept my sincere apology, extended to any person who wrongfully took the intent of the letter.

I took time to have my vote counted against Ketter in two evaluations and know it was an accurate vote.

If he had taken time Board and other Associations on campus and discussed the position personally with people campus wide such statements as I read this morning in The Spectrum would never have been in print.

International-law supports the territorial and personal immunity of any embassy in any host country. While being a full supporter of the legitimate right of the international community, we wish to inform you of the legitimate right of the oppressed people of Iran: 1. During the past 37 years, the place called the U.S. embassy has been a center for covert and overt activities inside Iran, with close cooperation between C.I.A. and SAVAK under the pretext of preservation of the United States strategic and economic needs. Now, after 37 years and after a bloody revolution costing 60,000 lives, the same embassy has been found to be the shelter of the U.S. government’s covert antirevolutionary activities, which is in continuation of U.S. government’s violation of the most respected principles of Internatlonal.law—non intervention. 2. They have not told you that in the past 37 years, on the average every 48 minutes, ex-Shah of Iran has killed one Iranian for his/her political believes with, if not explicit, implicit support of your government (In 1953 after being ousted by mass uprising, he was brought citizens'taxes and has been supported thereafter.) Now, this the so-called “benevolent dictator" has been accepted for the alleged medical treatment. If occupation of the U.S. embassy lij Tehran is perceived as humilatlon of the American people, the acception of the Shah under the so-called “humanitarian considerations" has been perceived by Iranian people as humiliation of their bloody revolution. The people of Iran want what the world wanted after the WWII, that is to try the criminal for the sake of satisfaction of human conscience and decency. While this IraniaixCchman escaped the country with billions of dollars, the people were literally dying of starvafion. Now, our problem is a matter of perception: We, Iranian people had been brutally ruled during the past four decades by the U.S. government's puppet. Everyone of us has direct experience with socioeconomic and political oppression of the Shah’s regime. For us the best judge is you, sooner or later the socalled embassy crisis will be over, but a murderer must not be a barrier to a close relationship between the people of our nations.

In the original, I merely demonstrated that immoderates in both camps, the PLO on one side and Israeli ultranationalists on the other, have hampered movement toward a compromise. I never Intimated that the P(.Q’s exclusion from the talks is cause for the slow progress of the negotiations v My words were edited so completely my Ideas seemed to have dissolved as well. The Spectrum is often soliciting for writers, appealing to this university’s students. How can you, as editors, expect a response when a writer Is neither presented accurately or fairly? I trust you'll discipline your red pen and print this contribution in entirety. ... I am writing because I have a personal complaint and because I think The Spectrum should be aware of the moral boundary between editing words and editing ideas. The article appearing in Wednesday’s, November 7th edition entitled”Cooperate, Dayan Argued," was attributed to me, Michele Cohen. I did not write what was printed and therefore do not take responsibility for it. First, let me point out some basic factual errors. Moshe Dayan did not resign from his post as Defense Minister. He has been Israel's Foreign Minister since 1977. Secondly, the statement, “Although the Palestinian autonomy talks between Egypt and Israel mark the first diplomatic effort to resolve the Michele Cohen Outlet for frustrations To the Editor: Let's consider an analagous situation; You are Invited into someone’s home. This person extends certain hospitalities and priviledges to you. While you are in this person's home you have access to all the advantages of their environment. Suddenly this someone (whose home you are in) learns that your brother has taken his family hostage and is holding them in your house across town. You respond by condoning your brother’s actions and remaining where you are (still taking advantages of the hospitalities and priviledges extended to you by your host initially). Question—How will the host react to^this? I'm not really sure why I write this letter, perhaps my red, white and blue underwear has gotten the best of me. To me a country is no more (or no less) than the people who live in it. Therefore on agressive action against an American solely due to their heritage instinctively repels me. (Surprise, I am an American.) A general hatred and contempt for Americans implies a general hatred and contempt for me. I can’t help it, my instincts get the better of me and prompt me to do things I wouldn’t ordinarily do (one of which is write letters to newspapers—I have been called politically apathetic with just cause). Let’s consider another analgous situation: You walk into a party and decide that you don't like the people at the party. Do you stay at the party and drink as much free beer as you can while you call the people giving the party assholes behind their backs (or to their faces) or do you leave? For those of you who can’t read between the lines; the situation at the American Embassy in Iran stinks. It is a kick in the ass I feel all the way in Buffalo, New York. The statement submitted by the Iranian students—to the Courier last Friday smarts even worse. Their public condonment of the actions that took place quite frankly shock the shit out of me. God, what balls! The purpose of this letter? Please be advised that this is an outlet for one American Citizen’s frustration and anger. Paul Comitz Down on the farm To the Editor: “truly idealistic, humanistic liberal" way as you are already busy writing anti-Iranian slogans over the I, now would like to write a few words in response to Shove Your Oil. Reall9, Mr. Lewis! How could you write such an awful letter; one so emotional and obsequious to the SHAW, and have the calyptra to use me and other Americans to back you up. You are wrong when you say America doesn’t want or need the Iranians. On the contrary, I for one like them and want them to stay right here. I want them to learn and grow and be a part of America. I want to teach them and I want them to teach me. I want them to be right here where I can exchange ideas with them; laugh with them and come to understand them. And another thing, I want them to have just as much a right to come to this country and be allowed to express their political feelings in a peaceful manner, as did others, in the name of human rights when defecting from “The Other Side.” Yes your letter is a bit emotional and I think that it would be wise for you to go back to that little hick town you were conceived In and cool off. While in Hooteville, you’ll probably want to polish up your hard hat and put a little flag in your window in preparation for those up and coming Hate Iranian protest marches the Nazi Party and other fascists have planned for the near future. Your dad and all the guys down at Jimmy's Grill will be proud to read that letter of yours. They might even show you their membership cards and ask you to join! Your little brother will get a f>»ve. He might ev«,. big kick out of the whole that little Iranian girl’s dress on fire. You know, the one that’s in his class. All of America will be united as one And again. A nation with a cause—to hate just think Dave, it’s all because of your letter. At school too your letter is already having an effect. All those overly intellectual students who think in the same artwork in the toilet stalls. To have these students destroy their valuable drawings for The Common Cause is really a credit to you! But really Mr. Lewis, what is wrong with you these days? Could it be that maybe you watch a little too much TV? Could it be that you are being influenced, in a large part, by the Media and their massive Hate Iranians Campaign. You know, the one that's being promoted by a handful of those rich and powerful bastard friends of SHAW. Maybe these bastards hope to start something in Iran, with the help of AMERICAN TROOPS (that means you Dave, when they bring back the Draft for the occasion). Just think of it Dave, you out there in Iran killing hundreds of those “ruthless fanatics" in the name of SHAW. You might even get a medal? Yes, if the Media is powerful enough to turn such an idealistic liberal like yourself, MR. LEWIS (a University Student who supposedly possesses some gift of reasoning above the average GRUNTS )1 into a hate machine, I really wonder what the Media must be doing to the Average Grunt! If our Media can generate hate towards one group of people as the Iranians, someday, if the Media falls into the wrong hands, it might even generate hate towards Blacks, Jews, Italians, Poles, Iranians. Communists, Democrats or ever Liberal Thinkers like yourself, Dave! "Gee, Beave. Maybe U>' srong hands now?"—"Really Wally?” they’#* So, ».y »o cool down on the farm Dave. Milk a cow or something and remember, It's not always easy to have a brain. It forces you to be objective and retain the emotions a one sided Media is so adroitly trying to evoke from your shallow mind. Crealoza Keet feedback Iran and the CIA To the Editor. We are writing In protest of the growing antagonism of many Americans towards not only the Iranian struggle, but also towards the Iranians as a people. We are in solidarity with all people in their fight for self-determination and support the Iranian students' demand for the Shah to be sent back to Iran. The press coverage of the Shahs' repressive policies over the years can never measure the reaction to those practiced by Khomeini in just a year. The US press, serving as it always has—the interests of the ruling class,*has consistently tried to whip up Nationalist sentiment. By referring to an Iranian slogan such as “Death to Americans" or acts such as burning the American flag they would have us believe that the anti-American attitude is aimed at the average American worker, student, etc. in reality they are reacting to a symbol of what “American" means to' them—the US Installed bloody dictatorship, the Embassy—the US ruling elite. It is apparent that, as always, public opinion is being molded by what and how news Is being presented and what is being withheld. We do not take a pro-Khomeini stance but it is important to recognize the vital difference between the roles taken by the Shah and Khomeini. It seems that the "Islamic Republic” is far from democratic and that since Khomeini has executed much of his opposition he too is guilty of denying the people a right to self-determination. However, he has not sold out His country, the people to the US as the Shah has. It is the US that is responsible, through a C.I.A. engineered coup, for putting the Shah into power as a puppet for US financial interests. When he was thrown out in 'S3 by popular resistance his relnstallatlon by the C.I.A. cost taxpayers $10 million. As we know it, this is a violation of the US policy of noninterference, but actually this covert method of maintaining dominant socio-economic influence is “old hat" for the US (Another example among many is the loaning of money to the illegal South African government after the Soweto uprising of 76). In addition, the repressive measures against growing resistance regularly practiced by US—installed dictators (ex.: Somoza in Nicaragua) are conveniently overlooked by the US as long as those leaders continue to protect the interests of the US. That is why the Shah Is still welcome In the US as an old friend. And such a good friend he must be that David Rockefeller and Henry Kissinger flew to Mexico to exert their Influence to gel the Mexican gov’t, to extend the Shahs' visa. Our own criminal, Richard Nixon, has fraternized wlth-him on several occasions. But the Shah is a criminal and should never have been allowed to get sanctuary here in the first place. If the US is so interested in its own people why not exchange the Shah? Isn’t the lives of 100 people worth more than one man? Or has this man been so valuable that they would sacrifice these American citizens? Although we do not advocate terrorism as a viable means for social change It must be understood that the American Embassy that is in Iran and those operating in countless other parts of the world have traditionally, and continue to act as fronts for C.I.A. counterrevolutionary activities. It would not be surprising to find that some of these hostages are none other than C.I.A. agents. We strongly feel that the C.I.A. has no business in Iran and that the Iranian people should be free to decide what Kind of government they want, without outside interference. The way we see it, the Iranian students acted independently of Khomeini, reacting against what they saw as a symbol of years of death and the political and economic oppression of the people. The American people should not bo so astonished to find that finally the tactics used by the US for years have been adopted by their victims and subsequently used against them. Jim Colucci Buffalo Committee Against Apartheid Fucked world To the Editor: If I were an Iranian student studying in America, I would be very polite to my American brothers. Afterall, to come to this country and take its advantages is one thing, but to overtake its embassy is another. The thing that pisses me off most is the fact that Iranian students broke international law and this was condoned by the Ayatollah Khomeini. Iran proved to the world that they will not abide by the law. I am mostly concerned with world peace and if every country broke international law this world would be fucked! David S.

OUR ALREADY LOW PRICES ON OUR ENTIRE STOCK OF CLASSICAL ALBUMS, 8-TRACKS & CASSETTES. Search for relevance <jir. Another major reason for leaving school stems from sheer boredom, Clapp said. “These students are unable to find any relevance in what they are being taught and this, naturally, leads to a lack of interest. These pupils are merely seeking more meaningful ways with which to pass their time,” maintained the Deputy Superintendent.Clapp stressed that the school district is working on stemming the drop-out tide by providing such services as additional counseling, program changes, more relevant courses and work-study programs. “We will bendOver backwards to prevent a student from leaving but first we must determine the reason for dropping out. If a student is bad off economically, we will not -retain him by providing more relevant courses to boost his Interest/' conceded Ctapp. Once potential drop-outs are identified—based on previous statistical studies which shew that poor minority students with a history of low grades and high absenteeism are likely candidates — individual counseling occurs to determine the exact reasons why a pupil is dissatisfied, Clapp explained. A student’s schedule can be readjusted so that the poor student will be able to work. It has been found that the drop- for vocational-technical schools is consistently lower than the rate for acadeidic high schools. out rate high ~ Districts are secretive rf Statistics for the last fiVe years fail to demonstrate any decrease in the percentage of school leavers. City of Buffalo school board' administrator Mark Kesell, noted that “although the rate is not decreasing it has at least stabilized where now the problem is more manageable.” In direct contradiction to Macchiarola’s contention that school districts remain “secretive about the extent of the problem,” Kesell noted that the Buffalo School District keeps communication lines open with other urban districts who suffer the same exodus. Major cities use varying criteria in evaluating drop-outs which impedes communication bct'.VsX.. school districts. Resell noted we communicate with other districts through the Council of Great City Schools and through Federal Reports to see what solutions are being implemented and how they are working. �w m 0 . D No lost cause Rally sparks White Lightning—but last second goal ‘causes’ tie It certainly wasn’t the National Hockey League. It was simply an exciting 5-5 tie between Lost Cause and White Lightning in intramural “B” league hockey at hockey at Tonawanda Ice Time Tuesday night. A furious three-goal rally by White Lightning in the final period turned Lightning’s two-goal deficit into a come-from-behind 5-4 lead came within five seconds of standing up. Wayne Bialas’ breakaway tied the game, preventing Lost Cause from an embarrassing defeat. Bob Sperlazza, who scored Lost Cause’s fourth goal, commented, “Bialas was bound to score. The probability was at least 95 percent. we have proven we can put the puck in the net.” After all, he’s a statistics major.” Trailing 4-2 going into the third period, White' Lightning struck back. Paul Rodriguez pulled Lightning within a goal; backhanding a rebound past Brian Frazier, who seconds earlier had stopped Fred Rodents on a breakaway. “We really fought our way back in this one,” commented Rodriquez. “I’m proud of all the Three in a row Minutes later, White Lightning’s David Bourque capped the threegoal rally. After a scramble in the crease, he fired a backhand past a helpless Frazier. Lost Cause had ample opportunity to clear the pqck but a couple of missed swats set up the go-ahead tally. The stage was set for Bialas’ lastsecond heroics. He picked up a free puck at center ice, skated in alone on Lightning netminder Jay Freidman and fired a wrist shot over his right shoulder. “We played real well despite giving up three goals in the last period," said Bialas. “I have to give our goalie a lot of credit also. He made some guys.” Jeff Adams’ second goal of the game tied the score for White Lightning. He picked up a loose puck in front of the net and backhanded a shot just inside the right post. “This is the best game we’ve ever played,” said Adams. “We plan logo all the way now that playoffs.” The game was evenly played throughout. Magnum Force got on the board first as Jim Seemueller picked up a loose puck and flipped a backhander over Times’ goaltcnder Jack Dunbar (who moonlights as defensive end for the football Bulls) early in the contest. John Thur tied it up for the Times on the lone power play opportunity of the game. His blast from the point was kicked out by Davis but the rebound came back to Thur, who made no mistake finding the top right hand comer of the net. real tough saves.” Adams gave White Lightning a 1-0 lead early in (he contest, taking a beautiful centering pass from Mike Cappucilh and easily beating Frazier from close range. A short time later Lost Cause’s Mark Karwin scored his First of three consecutive a rebound after a blistering from the point was stopped. Karwin and Bialas combined for two picture perfect goals to put “BBICUT If . . opponents.

Hnamk All Mixed Drinks 75c A TOMORROW NIGHT Capitol Recording Stars The Tinies began the second period playing very sloppily in their own end. Dunbar was forced to make some spectacular saves, but it was inevitable that Maghum Force would break through. Mark Penman’s blast from the point was stopped, but the rebound bounced to Steve Wopperer, who lifted it oyer the helpless Dunbar to give the Force a 2-1 advantage. Midway through the middle stanza the Tinies’ Steve Roder made a dazzling move by the Force’s defense, went around the net to the other side, and with one hand on the stick managed to slip the disc under Davis to knot it at two. In the final seconds of the period, Magnum Force’s Jay Trabert stole a pass and fired a bullet by a shocked Dunbar, putting the Force in front 3-2. “1 never saw it,” said Dunbar. “That guy has a major league slap shot.” The Tinies came out flying in the third period looking to even it up. Davis came up with some amazing stops, and the defense—led by John Clark—played solidly, clearing men out of the crease. It looked like Magnum Force would hold on for the victory until Schaub’s clutch goal got by a startled —Wayne Baron Davis on the final play.

The undefeated Slime Devils had no trouble handling the Commandos despite the absence of two of their starters, winning 37-27. Although the Devils won by ten, they were not as impressive as they were the previous Monday night against the Shooting Boners. In the words of Slime Devil Steve Schwartz, “We played as lousy as the other team we’re just better than they are.” Led by the skilled ball-handling of captain Pat Burkhart, the tenacious board-work of Dave Stern, and the sharpshooting of Schwartz, every Slime Devil contributed points to the victory.

The final goal was highly controversial. Magnum Force claimed that time had expired before the shot was taken. “They robbed us of a win. 1 don’t care how you look at it, it was a rip-off,” said goalie Bill Davis. The outcome wasn’t decided until the Times’ Herb Schaub took a perfect feed from linemate Bob Labin and blistered the equalizer by Davis as time expired.

UB’s Dave Bombard and Scott Seicr won runner-up honors in the doubles competition, ending just three pins behind ECC’s pair. The strong outing by the men’s “B” team will force bowling coach Paul Tzinieris to do some thinking before the Bulls’ next match. “We have a full squad of strong bowlers, making decisions on who to bowl on the ‘A’ team very difficult.

The three contend that the matter was handled confidentially in what was believed to be the best interests of everyone involved. Reportedly, the main goal was to get the money back, not bring the handling of students fees or Sub Board accounting procedures under question. News Editor Uncovered Sub Board theft will be examined Sub Board Executive Director Dennis Black has prepared a statement for his Board of Directors regarding the embezzlement of $380 by former treasurer Michael Volan—the first formal mention of the issue since it occurred last Spring. The explanation, to be delivered at tomorrow’s Sub Board meeting, was spurred by anticipation of “some related discussion” and visits to Black by Quite chagrined five of the ten directors on the Board since the event was reported in last But some members of the Board of Directors were annoyed at having to Wednesday’s The Spectrum. read about the embezzlement in the newspaper.

Parker Edilor-in-Chief M1SSISSAGUA, Nov. 12—“May I have your attention please. If the wind shifts then this area may be evacuated. We will keep you informed.” Booming louder than the roar of traffic, a voice from a police van outside of the Streetsville, Ontario secondary school warned all residents. The school, just a few miles from the Mississauga train wreck where derailed propane tanks burned and the threat of a chlorine gas explosion loomed, temporarily housed over 700 people evacuated from their homes Sunday. The derailment had caused the largest evacuation approximately 240,000 people—in Canadian peacetime history. Families waited in the school’s gym, watching the clock every minute until they could return to their homes. Firemen at the scene also waited for the propane to burn itself out, hoping the adjacent railcar with leaking toxic chlorine would not be rocked then explode if the blazing propane blew up. Policemen waited for nighttime reinforcements, more officers who would guard the desolate area from potential looters or vandals. And the media waited, lurching on to every official as those with information infrequently left the closely guarded makeshift headquaraters yards from the tracks. Everyone wanted answers. — Homeward bound? Has Canadian Pacific Railway accepted legal responsibility for financial losses, for the people who can’t go to work, for the hotel bills of evacuees, for food costs, for potential damages, for the millions of dollars being paid to firemen, police, and others—many of whom were working overtime? Has the fire almost burned itself out? Is it under control? What are the chances the chlorine will blow and surround the vicinity with poisonous deadly gases? What if the wind shifts? And perhaps the most pressing question: When will it be safe for close to one-quarter of a million people to return to their homes? There were few answers. It was less than 48 hours after the 106 car train bound for a U.S. pulp miH derailed because, some say, it lost a wheel bearing due to overheating. At least six tank cars carrying propane exploded Saturday sending shooting flames into the dark and relatively quiet night. “When the big blast came,” one fireman told The Spectrum “the flames were as high as 1,000 feet in the air.” He was one of 15 firefighters on the south side still trying to control the blaze Monday. There were 15 or so others, across the way. Only firemen were close to the scene. “Saturday night, there were about 80 of us,” he said pausing to take a drag on a cigarette, “but now, there’s only so much you can do.” BURNING QUESTIONS: Canadian fireman battle the blaze ot the Mississauga train wreck whose propane filled tanka derailed.

In June, Secretary of Interior Cecil Andrus placed the birds, three females and one male, in a plywood box to “reintroduce” the endangered species into the Washington D.C. area. But several concerned citizens nationwide oppose the plan, especially pigeon lovers. Pigeon supporters are furious because pigeons are a favorite dish for grown falcons. The pro-pigeon contingent in the D.C. area has sounded the alarm that the falcons will methodically devour the entire pigeon population in the downtown area. According to pigeon fancier Dick Dabney, “pigeon popping” will be the latest craze to sweep the capitol city and eliminate the helpless pigeon population. But Alan Levitt, a spokesman for the Interior Department’s Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) disagreed, saying that “A grown peregrine falcon will never eat more than four pigeons a day. Somedays, they’ll settle for only a big one,” indicating the large pigeon population is in no danger of extinction. Interior Department Director of Public Affairs Chris Carlson concurs, noting that a FWS biologist estimated 500 to 1000 pigeons hatch in the District daily. Carlson ridiculed critics by declaring “the odds of the peregrines ever decimating these plentiful species appear to be on the order of such science fiction nightmares as an Earthly collision with the planet Mars.” S'-' & I 1 Spectrum \J ‘ I V&.-.SC *& ■y K- A "A W's’ / ' N r V \ N'V LA, y'/>i v ■ * Mamas > A oi Vs \i-/'S’/ Others have joined pigeon lovers in criticizing the project, including some newspapers. The Tennessee Knoxville News-Senlineldenounced the Department of Interior, claiming that “when the cages were opened the falcons would burst out at 200 mph and grab a pigeon in each claw, dripping blood, as amusement for Washington bureaucrats” while the federal employees ate their lunch in city parks. The editorial also labeled the plan as a “sick ego trip” for Secretary Andrus. Carlson denied those strong charging accusations, the newspaper with writing “a canned editorial written out of pure and simple ignorance.” The project is not intended to amuse bureaucrats, he said, rather it is an attempt to protect and replenish endangered species. Carlson added that Cornell University provided much of the funding, not the federal government. Carlson also noted Andrus’ proven interest in __ A *“• ' protecting birds of prey, citing the Idaho Birds of Prey Natural Area Andrus created as Governor of Idaho in 1971. Although much of the criticism came from pigeon supporters and anti-bureaucratic factions, a totally unexpected group opposed the plan. Worried mothers wrote FWS, fearing the falcons would swoop down at high speeds to attack their children. FWS assured the mothers that peregrines feed primarily on small birds and rodents, presenting no danger to children. Despite the barrage of criticisms, FWS official Inez Connor observed a recent change in public sentiment. “The mail since the summer has been heavily in favor of the four peregrines,” she told The Spectrum. Connor attributed this change to the ‘‘educational process” the incident triggered. “As people learn about these falcons,” she said, “they begin to appreciate and support them even more.” Students help with next census but no UB’ers , Over 2,000 students across the nation will be earning credit and money working for the Federal Government next year. The Census Bureau will be hiring 275,000 people (as enumerators) to help gather housing and population information for the 1980 Census —but U.B. students will not be among those employed. “U.B. was on the original list of 200, but we tried to pare it down to the cities where keeping enumerators is a problem,” the Bureau’s Assistant Chief for Research Lawrence Love said. “We also needed a student population that was indigenous to the area. U.B. has many students from the Westchester and New York City areas.” Forty-five universities were chosen by the Bureau to participate in the Experimental Student Intern program. Fifty students from each school will be provided with free texts on Urban Planning and earn $4 an hour for class and Held work. By mid-April of 1980, students acting as enumerators will go out and interview families that did not complete their census questionaire. Several universities from the New York area were chosen by the Bureau including the City University of New York’s City and Hunter Colleges. According to Love, the Bureau wanted to limit the experiment to the 50 largest metropolitan areas in the Eastern and Western regions of the United Stales. The nation’s last census, in 1970, left a large percentage of the population unaccounted for—the Bureau hopes to resolve such potential gaps with the new program. The Census Bureau estimates that over 5,000,000 people went uncounted in the 1970 census. Every 10 years, the Census faces a massive problem recruiting individuals and then keeping them to work till the end of the project. The predicament will be further complicated when a new law goes into effect that calls for a census every five years. Students, more than housewives or other people we’ve hired in the past, will be motivated to carry out the program and be interested enough to stick with it,” Love said, explaining the basis for the student plan. The student plan So far the program has been met with very positive response by most of the 50 schools who have agreed to participate. Professors from universities j across the Eastern part of the Nation met in Washington for a two day » seminar instructing them on how to conduct the classes. Students involved are primarily those taking the social sciences and statistics programs. The census categorizes areas according to population density, and Buffalo and the rest of upstate New York falls into the Boston-New England region by virtue of the Bureau’s method of calculating population | density. Judy Cohen from the Boston Region ofCensus Information staled that although no schools from upstate were chosen to act in the Student Intern program, many workers will be hired in the Buffalo area and the ■* generalcgpd wiH be tQjh , ,� ( ; _ �«"» *T •■>� by Andrew •v Charles I Spectrum Slqff Writer Gone are the days of long supermarket check out lines with gum cracking Checking it all out at your local supermarket under the modern eye of a laser /*, • T ft • scan teenagers ringing up purchases on noisy old fashioned cash registers. Over the past five years, many stores have converted to laser scanners. Now a housewife can get on a fast moving grocery line and have her merchandise methodically passed over an optical scanner. The item and its price are then flashed in front of her eyes on an electronic display panel. As the check out girls in Wegman’s supermarket on Alberta Drive furiously leaned over and pulled individual products over the computer’s eye, a blank arose in the customers eyes. It was as if they had no control over the modern technological feat that was taking place before them. Packaged products must be coded with machine readable symbols. That’s where those funny looking vertical lines and numbers resembling broken TV transmissions on grocery packages come into the picture. These intricate bar codes are called Universal Product Codes. Since 1973 seven major trade associations in the U.S. and Canada have helped to sponsor a Universal Product Code, now a common sight on thousands of grocery products. Today the codes appear on approximately three quarters of the items that flow through supermarket checkout counters. Consumers suspicious The scanner emits a beam of light from a laser located underneath the check out counter which scans the underside of the product. The light then translates the code into electronic impulses, which in turn match up the product with price information stored in a nearby computer. The name of the product and its price are then flashed on an eletronic display panel for the consumer to see. The laser is not dangerous since it is low powered, according to Wegman’s manager Gary Koppers. Koppers said the store has no intention of changing its policy on price markings and will continue to price mark the products individually. He agreed that some consumer habits are hard to break. Information stored in the computers is subject to change, and if employees don’t change the shelf and individual price lags, a different price will appear on the electronic display sign than the one listed on the shelf. Wegman’s shoppers gave various opinions regarding the automated check out systems. Although Wegmans price marks almost all products individually and on their respective shelves, many shoppers expressed apprehension towards the removal of individual price marks and the sole use of computers to determine the price of the product. One shopper said she liked to "pick up the product and see the price right on it”. Another woman added, “I don’t trust those computers”. In anticipation of widespread use of electronic checkouts many major grocery chains are exploring automated front end equipment. Fourteen out of the top twenty chains in the U.S. have implemented scanning in some of their stores and the revolution in grocery retailing seems to be gathering momentum. Still no constitution Year’s third Senate meeting yields little but frustration by Joe Simon Campus Editor Marred by repetitious debates over parliamentary procedure and the completion of a new Student Association (SA) Constitution, the SA Senate held close to a two and one-half meeting hour Monday—resolving little, and infuriating both Senators and SA President Joel Mayersohn. In a session which Mayersohn said “reflects terribly on our organization,” the Senate defeated a motion which would have set a November 29 deadline for the SA Constitution Committee to present a new charter. The vote, 5-11-3, followed a lengthy debate over several motions and Constitutional amendments. A small fraction of Senators, the most vocal of whom were Don Berey and Mike Wawrzyniak, appeared skeptical of the Constitution Committee’s efforts to draw a new framework. A student referendum held last Spring had stipulated that the document be completed by November 30, and although the Committee is optimistic about that deadline, the Senators wanted reassurance. “There are certain people on the Executive Committee who really don’t care if a Constitution is students,” presented to Wawrzyniak claimed after the meeting, “I really don’t know what their reasons are.” ‘Just bullshit’ SA Executive Vice President Doug Floccare, who chaired the meeting and is also on the Constitution Committee, explained that a large portion of the charter is completed. Both Floccare and fellow member Bob Lowry indicated the nine-person committee has received little student in-put, and practically no Senate participation. Beginning with 31 out of 46 Senators (the most present for any meeting this semseter), the session ended after a roll call vote two hours later showed only 16 representatives left. The often tedious meeting prompted Mayersohn to remark that “anything I’m doing here is wasted.” After several conflicts over parliamentary procedure between Senator Berey and the SA President, Berey left his seat, muttered “bullshit, just bull shit” and walked out of the Talbert Hall’s Senate Chambers. Dealing with only two of the five subjects on the day’s agenda, Senators began leaving the meeting shortly after debate over the Constitution started. “The thing I wanted to do most was take a vote of no confidence on (President) Ketter,” Mayersohn declared after the meeting. “Some of their (Senator’s) concerns were legitimate, but it comes to a point of ridiculousness. When asked if the session reminded him of last year’s chaotic Senate meetings, Mayersohn said it was “just typical of all Senate meetings at this University.” Said Floccare, “A lot of people kept making motions and side motions and amendments to motions—which is their right—but things got bogged down.” What the Senate did conclude was that each representative would be furnished with preliminary findings of the Constitution Committee, and that the body—at its next meeting—will vote on what they will do with the final document. In other business, before the completed representatives began debating the Constitution, the Senate: Approved the Lebanese Student Association as an SA organization with funding.

Approved the African — — Undergraduate Student Association for recognition and funding. The Association spokesman described the goals of the Club as “promoting interaction between African students and the University community.” Approved the Estonian Student Club for recognition but with no funding. Described as dedicated “to keeping the Estonian heritage alive in this country,” the Club representative said that he felt it unwise to request funds for a 10 member organization.

Floss Train derails... —continued from page 1— local, regional, Ontario Provincial, Royal Canadian Mounted Police, and Metro Toronto officers joined forces to safely evacuate the area. Countless volunteers devoted their time to supplying the 10-15 evacuation stations —in schools and shopping malls—with food and blankets. The Strefctsville school had even set up a registration filing system so incoming callers could locate their friends or relatives. But within the police barricades that had sealed off the area including a strip of Canada’s Queen Elizabeth Way, the sound of the Police trucks warning echoed throughout the desolate city. The streets were barren. Yellow regional cop cars guarded every intersection. After checking our credentials, one officer said, “You can go in to the area but if the chlorine explodes and unless you have a mask with an airtank, then you had better get out fast.” A little further up the empty highway, another officer added, “you have five minutes to get out of the vicinity if the chlorine is released.” the Fire in the mud and broke his ankle.

She said, “Canadian Pacific officials want to sit down with the city and discuss things. They’re not accepting liability but they are attempting to be a good citizen.” A few hours later, McMurty told newsmen gathered from throughout Canada and the U.S. that an Executive Vice President from Canadian Pacific said the railway was prepared “to pay out-of-pocket” expenses for those who were evacuated. He explained that claims’ offices would be set up and Canadian Pacific would exercise its right to determine “reasonable” expenses. No limit on the amount was set. Good citizen Close to 5,000 gallons of water per minute were being sprayed on the train since Saturday. There were 10 “deluge” sets, streaming water onto the cars the fireman explained. “We’re not trying to put it out, just keep it under control and keep the tanks cool,” he said. Every once in a while, one of his colleagues noted, someone has to check the deluge stands and move them. About mid-afternoon, trucks full of sand were brought down to the site to fill up some of the muddy holes noted the third fireman just up from the burning train and waiting for a cup of coffee.

A young man with a guitar who had been entertaining the crowd walked into the office and said, “I’m leaving. As soon as 1 heard that this area might be evacuated, 1 decided to go back with my family.” Mississauga resident and volunteer Barney Couch was preparing to comfort those who looked like they would be spending another night in the school. One Red Cross worker claimed many people were concerned about their pets who they left home. But Couch, who noted the influx of evacuated residents had pretty much stopped, remarked, “The most frequent complaint is trying to put . families together and the fear of the unknown.” In Mississauga over the weekend the unknown had occurred, but the waiting went on. .

Carver’s statement, which expressed both his personal opinions and those of the University faculty, alternately tore into Ketter and praised him. The document has been presented to the evaluation team, on campus for the past three days, which will report to the SUNY Trustees on Ketter’s presidency. Carver interviewed 175 faculty members and gathered 85 pages of notes in preparing the 17 page report, written not in bureaucratic language, but in Carver’s forceful, uncompromising prose. Hard decisions "President Kctter assumed office irr conditions which called for momentum in the construction program and rebuilding the image of the University,” Gaver wrote in a section that he labeled his own opinions, ‘‘These needs have practically disappeared, and will be altogether gone after the authorization for the remaining few buildings in the Amherst Campus. The new need for the University is for a person who can rekindle the lively, intellectual spirit which so many of my colleagues miss, who can make the hard decisions on issues that have so often been compromised, and who can help revive the University’s national and intellectual stature. The man who serves the University in the one historical context cannot meet its need in the next one. A blunt, practical, politicalperson is not morally better or worse than a subtle, learned, principled one; but they are best suited to different situations,” he concluded. While Garver methodically pointed to Ketter’s faults and the faults of his administration, he did not recommend immediate removal to the team. “Over the next year or two there are two important needs of the University: to maintain the momentum in construction and to avoid a debilitating interregnum. Both needs can be met by President Ketter remaining in office for at least a year beyond June 30 1980,” t uncompensated, embarrassing losses are manifestations of that attitude.” Faculty leader's statement goes to team Reports in forceful prose Garver stated. A long period of administration under an acting president could cripple “ohr already fragile relations with Albany,” he noted. faculty, were at times scathing, portraying UB as an institution overflowing with frustration and Frustration and despair “1 believe that it was his perception of the difficulty of avoiding an Acting Presidency if he were to resign as of June 30 that was a major factor in persuading President Ketter to remain for at least a year,” Garver wrote. The conclusion of Carver’s statement made his recommendation quite clear. "The greatest service which the Evaluation Team can do for the University is to convey to the Trustees the urgency of laying the goundwork now for the choice of the successor to President Ketter and a smooth transition to the next administration,” he said. Carver’s last five pages, he noted, comprised largely his own views. The previous 12, drawn mainly from his discussions with Ketter legacy: Two strong points BOOK SALE despair. “By and large the recent years at this Univesity Center have been years of decline or doldrums, and they are by and large seen as such by the faculty,” he asserted. Although he acknowledged that UB Passing the back Carver noted that Graduate Assistant (GA) and Teaching Assistant (TA) stipends were frozen at the same amount for nine years, “allowing inflation to push us from a strong, competitive position to one of the weakest—in some fields to the very bottom rank among our peer institutions.” The declining enrollment at UB, while somewhat attributable to a shrinkage of the applicant pool, could be partly UB’s fault, Carver wrote. “Many (faculty) remarked that the quality of undergraduate education here is high and seems to be a real bargain here, and increasingly suspect that admissions and enrollment shortfalls must be due, at least in part to administrative bungling.” Carver pointed to low faculty morale under Ketter: “It is not surprising that a sense of decline is accompanied by low morale. It could hardly be otherwise. And yet the sorry state of faculty morale has been mentioned so often, in meetings with so many diverse and widely scattered colleagues, that it must be mentioned separately as an area of decline over recent vears.” Robert Ketter began his nine year reign at UB by quieting the upheaval of the sixties and restoring a good image of the University within the community’s eyes. In the last few years, he has led a capmus that is split both in location and in academic-goals. He has led the University through a period marked by frustration for both students and faculty. But he will not be remembered for those things, Faculty Senate Chair Newton Carver said in his written statement to Ketter’s evaluators. He will be remembered for two other things—both positive, in Carver's eyes. “Over the past year, President Ketter has forcefully raised the issue of public institutions, and the relation of these expenditures to the public support of private institutions. He has already attracted national attention for his statements....The issue has recently been taken up by the Chancellor in the addresses he has made to both the SUNY Senate —continued on page 12— and the SUNY Council of Presidents. It will not be forgotten, and President Ketter will not be forgotten as the man who dared to raise it,” Carver wrote. Ketter will also be remembered for his role in the construction of the Amherst Campus, Carver noted. “He was involved in the planning of the campus as Vice President for Facilities Planning, he got the initial momentum underway with the first construction of the Ellicott Complex, and he has made the continuing momentum his first priority over the years. There are many others who have suffered because of uncontrollable irregularities of the construction plans ... “It (contruction of the campus) will have consumed the best energies of the whole of his administration, and his substantial role in seeing it through will undoubtedly remain as the greatest mark of his administration." i nee Three Books For One Dollar November 12th thru 24th LACO BOOKSTORE 833-7131 3610 Main Street r----- —---“““ —------------ i Sp * cia/ Buy one order of Chix Wings at $2.45, and get the exact same second order FREE with purchase of beverage.

And more and more, they are proving that the Liberal Arts degree still is very much alive and a very viable document to many job possibilities. When Dedre Schutt, a major in Russian and Linguistics, first attended the University, she was not unlike a great many of her fellow students who, as freshmen, had no idea about their future endeavors nor the type of jobs they would finally settle into. But when Dedre graduates in June, she will work for the U.S. Olympic Committee. The staff of the University Placement and Career Guidance Office is more than familiar with the concern of many graduating seniors who are often forced to bemoan, “What am I going to do now?” Because of the economic constraints and the uncertainty of the future job market, it has become quite critical for the sincere student to make such inquiries before they decide to enter college, not when they are about to exit. In Dedre’s case, her interest in the study of Russian was stimulated by a sister who had taken one course in the language and had exposed her to its challenging aspects. As we implied earlier, her career committments had not really been considered or examined too closely when she started her that force falls off sharply with distance, he said. On the UB campus itself there seems to be no indication of structural damage according to University Vice President of Facilities Planning John Neal. “We were originally concerned with the blasting’s effects on .the research labs and the dental clinic,” he said. "But there has been no problem at any time.” The blasting has, however, caused communication delays between campuses and damaged streetlights on the Main Street Campus. The major condition of NFTA’s contract, Neal said, is there be no interruption of programs. The construction company has lived up to that agreement, he added, adding,“The blasting has remained within the limits of both ground detectable motion and noise standards.” According to Schieber’s office, the new guidelines will not affect the rate of progress, the frequency of blasting or the proposed deadline date. freshmen year. It was no doubt “education for education’s sake.” As a junior, those important questions began to assume some kind of shape, though in a concrete sense she could say only that she wanted to work in “some kind of translating job with some company.” The future still had not developed into a focus that was clear enough to distinguish. Then came her senior year and during her continued period of uncertainty, she was contacted by the Modern Languages Department and was informed of an excellent opportunity to work for the U.S. Olympic Committee. She applied, was accepted and is now looking forward to what will cr-fainly be a new and very rare experience. In considering the very good fortune of Ms. Schutt, one is impressed and indeed confronted with the aspect of luck and the significant role that it plays in the job seeking, job acquisition process. We are all quite familiar with the well-know adage that the individual who is in the “right place at the right time” will more often than not have the best opportunity to win all the marbles. What we would like to add to that adage, however, is what career planning does as a compliment is to bend that luck in the direction of the student’s career objectives and goals and contributes better to their attainment. Dedre’s good fortune points to the importance of academic departments seeking out and directing their students into various opportunistic channels of which they may be aware and to which they may have access. Because of the economic uncertainties that face our graduates today, preparation for survival in the world beyond the classroom has indeed become the responsibility of everyone involved in the development of student skills and potential. J x �Waterfront: ‘Most exciting urban development’ by Seth Goodchild City Editor In the 1960’s and early 1970’s, the City of Buffalo purchased and destroyed the property that lined the waterfront area, planning to one day rehabilitate the 66 acre site into a- vibrant and active City center. All that remained from a once booming commericial area was a run down lot scarred by decay and used primarily as a garbage dump. Many development projects were blueprinted but ignored, and the area became a symbol of Buffalo’s ills. Recently, however, the waterfront area has again become a symbol—this time of Buffalo’s renaissance. Under the leadership of Mayor James Griffin and the American City Corporation, an ambitious plan for a $100 million waterfront village was devised. American City is a contracting company that engages in urban redevelopment. It is responsible for redesign of Boston’s.Faneuil Hall. Those who sneered that it could not be done, should watch closely this spring as the Speciality Restaurants Company begins construction on a 350 seat restaurant. The entire area was divided into 23 unequal parcels and developers applied to the City for permit to construct. Speciality Restaurants was the first approved developer, having received the “okay” this summer. The Pioneer Pyramid Group was the second developer this year to be officially designated by the Board of Directors of the Buffalo Waterfront (BWF) Development Corporation. The group will —Dennis R.

Dwelling planned The retail space will face the waterfront Village Center Plaza—planned on the edge of the Erie Basin. Following the opening of the first two buildings, construction will begin on two more office and retail structures. The total project carries a $13 million price tag.

The village will include residential housing and businesses. Syracuse—will also provide an enclosed plaza walkway with glass panels to be temporarily removed during the summer months. The City will provide a park area outside of the plaza. Seven local developers have applied to build residential housing in the area. Four as yet unnamed local companies are competing to build single family homes. The four have also submitted proposals to construct townhouses costing up to $125,000 each. It is expected that developers will be named by this year’s end. Largo Development Corporation Several campus and community organizations will sponsor an “Appropriate Energy and Technology Conference” this week at Squire Hall. The amalgated Farm City Collective will present films on solar and wind power, as well as renowned speakers such as UB Professor Marvin Resnikoff speaking on the social implications of future energy options. The Collective defines “appropriate technology” as technology that helps people do more for themselves without harming the environment. The concept is one of self-sufficiency, reducing the dependence on large utilities and oil companies. Workshops running Tuesday through Sunday will Stanford, Connecticut—according to the Courier-Express —has asked to be designated as the developer of a 200-room hotel. An American City official refused comment to The Spectrum. An hotel developer is expected to be named by the first of the year. Marina finished The Largo Company has also submitted a proposal for two 100 unit condominiums, to be leased for amounts between $60,000 and $300,000. Two other unnamed companies have also applied to demonstrate how any nomeowner can build the high-priced dwellings. The American City Corporation is hopeful that the first of these will be under structures construction by Spring. Although the Marina does not technically belong in the Waterfront Village, some interest has been shown in developing it. Griffin, however, said it has been developed “as much as 1 want it.” He is the Chairman of the BWF and has considerable influence over the group. Another member is unsuccessful candidate for County Executive Frank McGuire. The Bissel Merrill Company of Williamsville will be the engineers for the intrastructure—e.g. sewers. Company partner William H. Merrill told The Spectrum the basic engineering is about done, although various approvals have to be obtained. He expects some minor modifications to be made. There had been some doubt as to whether Lake Erie could flood over and submerge some of the village. Merrill maintained that there would be “no problem.” Can all the office and housing space be filled? Griffin has no doubts. “Oh sure,” he said, “we’ll have no problems.” The Mayor could hardly contain his enthusiasm for the project, calling it “the most exciting urban development project in the region.” City Corporation officials estimated that the project could be completed by the end of the 1980’s, if not earlier.

Immigration Problems Israeli journalist Blitzer offers candid view on Middle East by Michele Cohen Spectrum Staff Writer “Policies in Washington have an developments in the Middle East” inordinate impact on That was what Wolf Blitzer, former UB student and present Washington correspondent for the Jerusalem Post, told a sparse audience last Thursday night. His talk on the Middle East, and an analysis of U.S. policy along with a discussion of recent developments, was informative, candid, and well delivered. Blitzer began on an “optimistic note” stressing that for the first time in 31 years Israel has the possibility of peace with an Arab neighbor. Egypt is not just an Arab country, Blitzer emphasized, but a nation of substantial military strength and political pcwer. As long as the peace talks continue, Blitzer does not see a serious threat of war from the eastern front. Egypt’s President Anwar Sadat once said, “Egypt can make peace with Israel without the Arabs, but the Arabs can’t make war without Egypt.” Sadat is a key factor in the peace accords, and a question Blitzer hypothetically asked is: What will happen after Sadat? An even more pratical question to pose is: How sincere is Sadat? Blitzer, having personally observed the Egyptian leader and visited Egypt, answered these questions with a hint of reassurance. Soviet ‘clients’ “He is an impressive man, even better looking than on TV. He is bright and witty and even a cynic like myself is convinced he is a sincere person.” replacement As to successors, Blitzer believes that any potential Cabinet process. the peace from Sadat’s cabinet would continue and have the talks in engaged members have all been actively counterparts in the Israeli government. and, frank, Blitzer conyyed a sense of truth in th.ese Relaxed convictions—beliefs he has reached after dialogue with Israeli leaders and appraisals of his own. The Middle East scenario continued with a discussion of Soviet involvement in this tiny, but volatile patch of th world. “Soviet policy since 1967 is to keep the pot boiling but not to let it overflow,” he said. Blitzer explained that the Soviets want to provide a steady stream of weapons to “clients” such as Syria, Iran, and Libya, although they do not want to provoke a major confrontation which could result in their allies’ defeat and a destruction of their military equipment. Adequate reason The U.S. emerged in a more favorable light. Blitzer compared the present Egyptian-lsraeli peace talks with the unsucessful attempt in 1971 over the West.Bank between then Defense Minister Moshe Dayan and King Hussein of Jordan. The UB graduate said the differences then were too great to build a compromise, stressing that now, with U.S. involvement, those gullies can be spanned. The main change in policy, according to Blitzer, is one of tactics. He thinks that under Carter the “U.S. has become more sensitized to the problem of the Palestinian Arabs.” Some observers see the possibility of an Israel-American split. Blitzer refuted this, saying that the mutual interest of preventing Soviet dominiation in the Middle East is an adequate reason for the two TEST PREPARATION SPECIALISTS SINCE IMS Visit Our Centers countries to remain allies. Perhaps the most provocative part of the lecture was Blitzer’s response to a question on the Andrew Young affair. From a Jewish perspective, Blitzer interpreted Carter’s six week silence on Young’s resignation as a form of anti-Semitism. Other Jewish leaders regard the President’s tight-lipped reaction as a political maneuver, not a move to foment anti-Semitism. Blitzer himself, expressed dissatisfaction with Carter’s behavior, claiming the President’s silence created an atmosphere conducive to jibe.l against Jews, and Israel And See For Yourself Why We Mtkt The Difference Call Days, Eves A Weekends 1420 Millersport Highway Witliamsville, N.Y. 1422’ 688 4012 Outside N.Y.

COMEDY NIGHT 8:30 $3.00 ■ Feature Editor It was early, at least an hour befofc the blinding 500-watt spotlight would beam upon the first of the -six young comedians appearing in the Comedy Experiment last Tuesday night at the Tralfamadore Cafe. What would eventually be a standingroom-only crowd then numbered only five people. The bartender chatted with her only customer. An anxious man hurriedly paced the entrance to the cozy underground cabaret inhaling a cigarette in the quiet. Underneath a gray sportcoat, he wore a workshirt three sizes too large hanging outside his blue jeans to his knee caps. With his yellow winged, blue baseball cap highlighting his uneasy gestures, he looked more like a forlorn clown than a virgin comedian repeating lines to himself before an audition. “I’ve never done this before,” admitted 26-year-old Geoffrey Guiliano, a not so recent graduate of Brockport State’s Theater Arts program. He locked his fingers upside down over his head, rocking like a small child. “I’m a classically trained actor used to the sedate atmosphere of the theater. I’ve never performed in a beer joint but I could use the $20 bucks they pay here for a 15-minute comedy set,” he said, indicating that a successful performance at the Tralfamadore could open a door and land him a few gigs on Buffalo’s comedy mini circuit. Five minutes later Giuliano was leaning on the coal-black microphone, looking much like Horace Debucey Jones of the old Bowery Boys flicks. He did his fiveminute spoof of TV game shows and Jerry Lewis Muscular Dystrophy telethons before a handful of onlookers, including Comedy Experiment emcee Tony Louis, who sat alone at a small table at the back of the club. For Guiliano, the audition was a successful one. After a few throaty hoots and sporadic claps at the completion of his routine, Louis told him that he was to be invited back to the Experiment on November 20 for a crack at the “little times,” the local amateur comedy circuit This ain’t Caesar’s Palace Watching the tiny club come to life before show time, Guiliano had some time to become philosophical about comedy while subtly revealing his feelings of inadequacy as an aspiring comedian. “Everybody’s gotta start off in a place like this, not Caesar’s Palace,” began the plumber’s son from Albion, New York. “All comedians start out little like me. Some get bigger. Some don’t,” added Giuliano, who began to think seriously about comedy after “getting sick of seeing material on television I had thought of years before.” He sees comedy as a total view of life, a perspective as multi-hued as a kaleidoscope. “Some people learn to view life in a pessimistic or sarcastic way while others see themselves and their actions in a comedic light.” Giuliano maintained that comedians will be around as long as society bows to its sacred cows which eventually need “punching up.” Giuliano views the comedian’s role as being the eyes and ears of those less creative. He believes a comic should not take an audience’s mind off their lives but must focus that attention back into their lives in a humorous way. “I’d like to show people a perspective of themselves and their world they’ve not yet considered. That’s why 1 did that spooof on TV game shows. You’d be surprised how many people watch them without realizing just how idiotic they really are,” he stressed. Giuliano, with food stamps and state loans, now exists “on the perimeter of survival” with his wife and two children. He is in Buffalo trying to scrape up enough money to try his luck in New York City, “like a million other people.” His acting experience includes parts in several plays performed at the Studio Arena, some locally produced commercials and a major role in a rock opera produced by Peter Townsend a few years back. “The difference between theater and Mmprov’ comedy,” he explained, “is that bad actors can often hide behind the set or other ■ • - • WAITING FOR THE BIG TIME; Geoffrey Giuliano, above, had a successful evening Tuesday, but he confessed that a comedian’s Ilia is filled with uncertainty. ‘It's for gamblers,' he said.

It’s not a business for people who seek security. It’s for gamblers,” he said. At 26, Giuliano has to make his move now. He has no time to lose. “I’m in a hurry to make it and I’ll do anything short of having sex with another man,” he stopped himself, “If I did though.

Palms slap and the standard praise, “Nice show!” blends with the applause. But Tom does not linger in his colleagues’ praise. He hurries along the narrow strip to the end of the bar, waving a dollar bill at the bartender while blocking the waitress’ loading spot. Then he and two other companions, Tony Louis and Jeff Lubick, slip off the the “worry box”—a tiny cube of space behind the kitchen, with a coat rack, a rumbling ice machine, and a sliver of mirror hanging mm i '4 T 1 against the wall. “They’re not into the sick stuff tonight,” says Tom between gulps from his Miller bottle, “Too many young couples, they’re afraid to laugh.” None of the comedians were smiling. “Yeah,” Tony agrees, “It’s all first date stuff tonight. You’ve got to come out hardhitting and stick to the very basics. We need the twicedivorced,overworked type to enjoy this material.” Tony suddenly stops. “Listen to them, big laugh one minute, the next minute nothing.” The others nod.

The days of Berle and Youngman are over. These guys are telling about their lives, the problems and frustrations.” Fifteen minutes later, Carter bounds off the stage in a rain of applause, dripping with sweat and panting like he’s held his breath the whole time. The other comedians shakes his hand and ask about the crowd. “Nice show! Nice show! Mow’d it feel?” “What a rush!” Carter offers between gasps for air, “What a rush!” Louis rewarms the audience after a 15 minute intermission for Mark Halloran, a Toronto factory worker by day and impressionist after dark.

For the past year and a half, this otherwise discreet jazz club has given Buffalo’s aspiring comedians a proving ground for their talents. It was produced by the Buffalo Comedy Workshop, a collective of six comedians, none of whom earn their livings as comics, along with the Tralf. “We didn’t know if anyone would show up,” said Workshop Director Jerry Doran. But the Tuesday night program has been a success from the first punchline. “There’s a hunger in this town for comedy, and the stuff you see here is not just idiot shit,” said Workshop member and Experiment emcee Tony Louis. “You don’t get discovered in Buffalo. This whole thing is an experiment. It’s a place for comics to get their acts together and to polish them up,” he adds. Louis, an English professor at Buffalo State who spends his days teaching Shakespeare, auditions hopeful humorists early in the evening. “If a guy can make anyone laugh, we give him a shot.” And the Tralf’s audiences are unusually polite to the performers. Vicious hecklers are rare. “If a guy is bombing, people just start talking,” Louis added. The Tralfamadore offers other attractions to comedians: money and atmosphere—the closest things to professional reality. “In the New York amateur clubs, you line up with 200 other people on a Sunday to get a five minute audition,” explained Doran. “And even if you make it to the stage, you don’t get paid—that’s demeaning.” The Tralf pays each comedian $20 for a performance. Evan Carter, a winsome black from Toronto, stands in the wing awaiting his turn. He looks catatonic at one moment, staring blankly at the stage, unconsciously wringing his hands. The next moment, he stretches and flexes. Panic and bewilderment cover his face. But when his name is announced, he straightens up and confidently steps into the lights. he fear of failure to among young :re’s too many ‘ifs’ this business.

For the next IS minutes, Mark evokes deafening uproars of laughter with his frighteningly accurate portrayals of Jack Nicholson, Richard Dreyfuss, and Dustin Hoffman. In the heat of the audience’s enthusiasm, Mark’s stiffness and fear melt away. But the night did not offer success to everyone. Phil Lebovits finishes his act and trots off to polite, if not enthusiastic, applause. “Tough crowd, tough crowd,” he repeats, shaking his head in disappointment. The others shake his hand and slap his back, giving the customary “Nice show,” but none look him in the eye as they say it. Later, while the other comedians stir up laughs, Phil reflects on his performance: “It was on short notice, they needed an extra man to fill the program, and I said I’d do it. 1 didn’t have time to prepare, so I did the old stuff 1 had memorized.” He continually looks to the crowd, now storming with laughter. “I’ve got a whole new act for next month, it was the old stuff I did tonight—I did fair.” After the crowd thins out, the performers gather at the bar.

Louis’ routine is reaching a climax now, and the laughter breaks Mark’s dreaming. He casts a dreadful glance at the stage, then begins to contort his face in the mirror and mutter his lines. As Tony starts the introduction, Mark moves stiffly out of the box and along the strip as if drawn by a wire. Straton moves to Mark’s side and slaps him on the shoulder: “Tear ’em up,” he directs. Mark doesn’t respond. He tilts his head toward the ceiling, and with a look of great despair, quickly UNDER THE LIGHT: ‘You won’t see anybody up there telling jokes.

Although Carver does not call for Ketter's removal—in fact he recommends that Ketter remain until the last stages of the Amherst Campus are approved—the document carefully and inscrutably criticized Ketter’s administration. After interviewing 175 faculty members, many of whom had consulted colleagues prior to the interview, and collecting 85 pages of notes, Carver picked apart Ketter’s administration. Ketter is too removed from faculty and students, takes much too long to make even the simplest decisions, seems unconcerned with the minor problems of everyday life and is much too willing to blame UB’s problems on Albany, Carver stated. These things we know. Ketter’s once-a-semester meetings with students merely mimic his concern. He will not even show enough feeling for the students to answer a question without playing political dodgeball. Ketter's faults are obvious, yet it is refreshing at least to see them categorized, detailed and elaborated by a member of the faculty as distinguished and respected as Newton Carver. Carver’s criticisms are so biting, and his arguments so well written, that it would be difficult to imagine Ketter’s evaluators shrugging them off. We feel more confident after reading Carver’s statement that the Evaluation Team will make its recommendation to the SUNY Trustees with a clear picture of Robert Ketter’s incompetence in mind. Carver’s conclusion that Ketter will be gone soon regardless of the team’s recommendation is encouraging to a University that has stagnated under the President’s cold hand. Even more encouraging is Carver’s portrait of the leader UB needs to succeed Ketter, “a person who can rekindle the lively intellectual spirit which so many of my colleagues miss, who can make the hard decisions on issues that have so often been compromised, and who can help revive the University’s national and intellectual stature.” Our only problem with Carver’s position is the time of Robert Ketter’s departure. Carver concludes Ketter will be gone by June 1982 at the latest. The eighties should be a rebirth for UB, and we cannot endorse subjecting it to Robert Ketter’s tired rule any longer—even if it is only two years.

Sutton and all other concerned “taxpayers" (of the Mandatory Student Fee): there is a majority club on campus, funded by the Student Association-the Commuter Affairs Council. Did you know that close to 60% of the undergraduate population are commuters? (A commuter is anyone who lives off campus) Events sponsored by SA Commuter Affairs are not limited by race, religion, hometown or means of transportation. We don't give cash rebates, but we can offer you 10 NFT Metro bus tokens at a dollar off the usual price, doughnuts for a dime, free coffee, tea, hot chocolate, orange juice (or lemonade) and with the cooperation of UUAB, now and then we've been able to sell tickets to a UUAB movie for .50 (to students with commuter ID stickers) and $1.00 (all others). I am a little biased, but it sounds like a good deal to To the Editor. Revising the Student Association constitution has been talked about for years. Last Spring, when the students passed a referendum abolishing the old Senate and bringing the new Senate to power, they simultaneously mandated that a new constitution be drawn up—by November 30. Monday, the Senate defeated a motion that would have set a November 29 deadline for the SA Constitution Committee to present a new charter, although the Committee was fairly confident that the document would be completed by November 30. So, once again, a clear updated constitution is delayed—and student government must continue to operate under a constitution mired in vagueness and confusion. Ultimately, students as a whole suffer from the lack of firm foundations. But what is truly disturbing is that the delay was caused by political squabbling, of nitpicking over parlimentary procedure, reminiscent of previous semesters. Only 31 out of 46 senators showed at this meeting—the best turnout at any Senate meeting this year. But by the end of the meeting, only 16 remained. The squabbling, which prompted SA President Joel Mayersohn to say, “Anything I’m doing here is wasted,” is infectious; it spreads throughout student government eating away enthusiasm. The Senate must put aside its political differences and work toward accomplishing student goals. A new constitution would be a good place to start. Managing Editor Majority club me. "Majority status" probably means we get a lot of money from Student Association, right? Well, almost right-we get $13,000, a lot of money in itself, but not alot in proportion to the population we serve. Or in relation to the budgets of certain minority organizations, whose budgets are more than equal to ours. Do you want a voice in the majority club? If we want to be treated justly as a majority, we have to care about that status-about how our money is spent, about what happens on campus. Go to a Senate meeting and make a difference. Come to a Commuter Council meeting and help-our next meeting is Thursday, November 29, at 2:30 pm in Room 334 Squire. I look forward to meeting you. Julie M.Malien SA Commuter Affairs Coordinator Don’t give a damn Starting point Vol. 30, No. 38 STOP LAUGHING—THIS IS SEROUS, believe that, in the process of analyzing the results the recent University-wide referendum, one important point has been overlooked. Dr. Ketter tells us that the results of the-referendum are insignificant due to the low seven percent voter turnout. One can interpret this another way. I of Over the past ten years, Robert Ketter has managed to structure this University, intentionally or otherwise, as to create an atmosphere in which ninety-three percent of the University's own community do not give a damn about its future. Kurt Rothenberger vTyArtOTnCR VOS by Ralph Allen Probably it was the sight of anti-Iranian demonstrators in Houston cheering as a picture of the Duke was hoisted aloft that did it. Maybe it was the surreal attachment Americans forged with 60 people held in an American embassy in Teheran. Whatever it was, the dilemma in Iran was fast becoming a .bad western. Or rather an eastern. Picture it. At one end of Main Street stands the U.S., flush faced and trembling with incense, staring across thousands of miles at a resolute Iran. "Give us the Shah and we'll release your people" the Muslims demanded. “No way," the Americans shouted. Nightfall came, left and came again. Confrontation became an impasse as It dragged out. Meanwhile, in the American part of town the attitude of some of the townspeople was getting plenty ugly. "We should git a posse together and string up any of those camel drivers we can lay hands on,” one grizzed character indignantly said to a group of angry locals. They murmured in assent. The sheriff, none too popular with the townsfolk, but kept on because after all, a weak sheriff is better than none at all, ran around telling a citizenry to keep calm. Oh Randall Scott, where are you when we need you? The director had left the script on his chair as everyone went home after a hard day’s shooting. Although he was shooting a la Altman, (i.e. the ending will reveal itself as the actors feel their way through) a few precepts were apparent even in his mind. One—there was no way the Iranians were going to give up the hostages without a certain Pahlavi to divide up between 35 million people. It was more than revenge in its earthly sense, it was nothing else than a holy mission. Martyrdom would be a blessing. Two—the Americans in no uncertain terms were not going to let anyone demand that anyone, even an unindicted criminal like the Shah leave the home of the free, the land of the brave. If became a classic standoff. The sheriff, attempting to find some legal way to channel the lynching sentiment of some of the townspeople into legal actions started to round up any “bf the Iranians that were here in this part of town illegally, especially the cheekier ones. After all, it had been done before. This wasn't the first time the townspeople wanted and got blood. They had interred Japanese Americans in'the forties and during World War I did things as superficial as changing the name of fermented shredded cabbage from sauerkraut to liberty cabbage. The townspeople are suckers for a gesture—they go overboard for a slogan, and they'd invade for oil. Meanwhile the sheriff had conferred with his fellow with a striking likeness deputies. One of them, a to Dr. Strangeglove, hissed, “Now it would be unfortunate, and I mean truly unfortunate if the Shah should happen to die a short while from now. He is, after all, a very sick man and the slightest mistake could mean his life. But it it did happen, if that unfortunate thing did happen, then the Iranians might not be so ghoulish as to ask for a corpse back. To hold, after all, live persons for the corpse of a dead one might not appeal to them.” “Now I don’t want to hear any more talk like that around here again,” the sheriff said, nostrils flaring. “Whatever we do, we ain’t going to do their dirty work for them. This is America—“love it or leave it.” “Well,” chimed in another deputy, “I don’t see what we can do. There isn’t any way for the Iranians to back out of this one without losing face. And our own people are talking vigilante groups and the like. It looks pretty black to me.” “Did 1 ask you?” the sheriff snapped. "Besides you're supposed to be praying anyway, not yakking!" “O.K." The last deputy spoke. “I know it’s crazy but it might just work. You see we gel Mario Brando to play the Shah. We take him out to the Iranians and sez" We got the Shah! You can have him as soon as you let the Americans go! Then as soon as they release the hostages, I can get some bombers in real low like see, and with a few boys from the 82nd Airborne, we will be able to get back here in time for lunch.” “You just plain dumb you know that," the sheriff said disgustedly. “What makes you think we can get Brando to play the role of the Shah. He’ll want at least a few billion for that, and he doesn’t even look like Reva. Maybe we can get Anthony Quinn. “We are going to just sit tight and wait this one out. And that’s final," the sheriff said before leaving the general store. So the set darkens over Main Street, the cameras hang their heads. Over in the Iranian part of town, the students are trying to figure where they can get 85 Big Macs, 50 shakes, 70 orders of fries and a fish sandwich at this time of night. �feedback Starting To the Editor: This is an open letter to anyone (especially the person who wrote the letter to the Editor last week) who has doubts about the effectiveness of our proposed busing extension project. Unfortunately a major point of our proposed plan was misconstrued in our The Spectrum article. We realize that dropping off a woman at a corner would in no way decrease the risk of assault and at no time did we at NYPIRG consider this as part of our proposal. In fact we see no reason why students can't be dropped off at their homes. You must realize that we are only at the Starting point of this proposal and with that in mind, we were pleased to see a response to our article. We are greatly in need of suggestions, criticisms and your help! We are not looking for competition between the AntiRape Task Force or any other group on campus trying to prevent assault on women. What we are hoping for is a cooperative effort put forth by all students and all campus activities to provide a service that would be Minimum beneficial to all university students. Should we expect any less? We don’t think so and therefore we are expressing extreme hope that all students involve themselves in working towards a bus extension service!! This is a privilege that all students deserve and the only way to create a permanent and reliable alternative to what we have at present will be a united and coordinated effort. Please sign those petitions you see around campus and when the tabling begins, why not be there to help and add your input? In the meantime, anyone interested in helping out or showing support is urged to call or stop by the NYPIRG office in 356 Squire, 831-5426, and ask tor Kim. Our next meeting will be Thursday, November 15th at 4;30 and all those interested are urged to attend.

Davidson on behalf of 50 others ■w * Fight hunger To the Editor: With Thanksgiving approaching us rapidly I've been doing some serious thinking about what it means to be hungry and particularly what hunger means in light of the current situation in Cambodia. For the Cambodians are more than hungry, they are slowly starving-to death. Consider some of these findings by fieldworkers in Cambodia: Eighty percent of Cambodia’s children are suffering from the worst forms of malnutrition. Most of the population subsists on a rice ration of 4.5 ounces per person, per day; a level below that needed to survive. Less than five percent of the country's rice lands are under cultivation: people have eaten the seedlings to stay alive. For every birth in Cambodia, there are ten deaths. —Only 20-30 percent of the remaining adult population is male; most of the adult females are widows. —The ravages of war and civil Strife have left the Cambodian people without hospitals,doctors, medical supplies; there are no communication or transportation — — — — channels. This situation has struck me with a great emptiness, for I thought, what can I possibly do to alleviate some of these people's suffering? There Is one thing l ean do, and so can y6u and anyone else you talk to about Cambodia. On Thursday, November 15, a fast Is bding organized by various groups within the community and the country. Take the money you would normally spend on a days food and sent it to Cambodia. There are several groups working very hard to fight this hunger who will see to it that your dollars are not wasted, that they will indeed go for food, medical supplies, and other necessities of life the Cambodians are lacking. If you cannot fast on Thursday, you can do it on any other day before Thanksgiving, the day that we Americans traditionally give our thanks for all we have. Two groups that are now fighting for money for the Cambodians, and that you can send your money to are: Oxfam America 302 Columbus Avenue Boston, Massachusetts 02116 American Friends Service Committee 1501 Cherry Street Philadelphia, PA. 19102 Of you have any questions about the fast or any other aspects of the Cambodian situation, or you want to get involved, feel free to call or stop by the Western New York Peace Center, 440 Leroy Avenue, 14215 ~ 835-4073. Stuart Fish 'I am hel? is on m viav... r Current events To the Editor: Disturbing vandalism To the Editor: The Gay Liberation Front got an office after many reason for getting the office was to put us into the student eye; and to give the estimated 2,500 gay and/or bisexual students b<ith male and female, a place to come for information of gay related issues or just to talk to other gay people. Outside of our office is a bulletin board on which we place articles and pamphlets, of which we would be more than glad to give our extra copies out free to any who asked. Although, in all actuality, our board harms no one physically (and we don’t force anyone to look at it if they are Mentally disturbed by it) some people have reacted quite violently at the sight of it. These persons have deemed it necessary to write certain statements of which MOST psychiatrists would MOST probably describe as the writing of a severly mentally disturbed person. These persons have also ripped the aforementioned pamphlets and articles down from our board at the average of every two (2) days. I would just like to say something to these persons and to anyone else who has torn down our posters around campus. You people are what makes this campus not as affectual as it might be. Your immature behavior should not be in a place where mature effectual thinking goes on. One more thing before I end. If I or any of my colleagues see you partake in this rampant vandalization, we will have you arrested and taken to the proper authorities. Our posters and board are funded by S.A., and it is against University Law to destroy or mar anything they own or fund since it is government property and thus private property. The same goes for any S.A. funded material. I hope you will be intelligent enough not to jeopardize your stay at this governmental problems. Our main university.

Larry Knipling International College Eye for an eye To the Editor: It may seem easy for me to say this, my country is going through the same thing almost daily so I Know In regard to Mr. Lewis’ letters in the 11/12/79 issue of The Spectrum, I would like to add some more. As an Israeli student, a guest in this country, I feel that the U.S. should, deport all students from Iran who support khoko-money. If they love their “Beloved Leader" let them worship him there. I find it difficult to understand how the Iranian student has the Houzpa, guts to raise their voice and twerp. I know, Americans believe in democracy but, where is the line? Where is their dignity? Instead they are demonstrating to support Khoko-money. They have no reason to stay in your country so go back to your country and also you can tell Khoko-money to take the oil and .. .in. how you feel. There is one way to go about it. To be strong and firm never fall to black-mail, never there will be no end to it today is Iran tomorrow will be some where else. To the family, stay strong, I won t be wrong if I say we all with you.

Mayersohn cited other considerations such as protecting against attacks on misuse of Student Mandatory Fees and getting the money back as had not been overlooked, and a system of proper checks and balances was in place.” No requirements Current Sub Board Chairman Michael Belgard, who Black and Baum reportedly notified, could not be reached for comment Monday. According to SUNY guidelines for the use and handling of Mandatory Student Activity Fees, the President of a university is delegated the authority for disbursing the money. He in turn may grant that power to another individual or group. According to a representative to the Student Association of the State University, those in charge of the fees are under no requirement to go to specific sources in cases of abuse. According to Black in his statement to be released tomorrow, several individuals were contacted "for the purpose of informing the proper University officials and obtaining advice on how we should proceed. Those cited as having known about the issue were UB Vice President for Finance and Management Edward Doty, Richard McClaron of University Internal Audit, Faculty-Student Association Treasurer Leonard Snyder, SA Treasurer James Killigrew and Assistant Vice President for Student Affairs Anthony T. Lorcnzetti. Black said that three steps were taken at the time which demanded immediate action: enforcement of standard accounting practices to avoid further problems, an examination of records to determine the extent of "misappropriation” and consideration of possible actions to take. He explained that Sub Board independent auditors, Clarence Rainess and Company, were called in to examine the records and counsel on the accounting system. Afterwards, it was decided that a rule mandating two signatures from within Sub Board for all payments would be enforced. Black countered charges made by Volan that the Sub Board system was open to manipulation by pointing out that “The accounting system itself was not incorrectly established, the possibility for this type of occurance Not properly enforced “However, an individual in a high place of trust had been allowed to violate a basic procedural guideline set up to protect against this type of circumstance,” Black said. Black did, however, admit that money has in the past been manipulated through Sub Board. “In fairness to the individual involved,” he said, “the failure to follow procedures did not happen for the first time during his term, but had been the subject of periodic abuse on an occasional basis during several previous treasurer’s administration. Each time, steps had been taken to correct the problem, but none were properly enforced.” Current Sub Board Treasurer Chris Jasen said Monday that the two signature requirement (the treasurer’s and another Sub Board official’s) for payment of vouchers had not been enforced. “The only change now,” he said, “is that it is paid attention to.” Policy implemented last May demands that either Black or Belgard must supply the second signature. Jasen maintained that embezzlement could not happen again in the same way, but added, “If someone spends enough time looking, I’m sure the same type of problem could occur.” Jasen said he knew of the embezzlement, “because all new officers were told.” In his statement Black calls the receipts submitted by Volan—for many local restaurants, one for a rent a car and another for a car electrical repair—“highly questionable expenditures of student activity fee monies.” He later in his address explains that after Volan agreed to pay back the amount in question, criminal prosecution was not opted for. “Our feeling,” he explains, “was that an individual had made a mistake, while under some job-related pressures, had admitted his error and had paid the corporation back in full. “The stigma that would be placed on his future by further action seemed extreme for the mistakes that he had made. It was hoped that the individual would learn from his error and correct his ways.“ Black additionally told The Spectrum that actions taken (or not taken) were not intended to hide that “we made a mistake,” but that attention was instead given to the most immediate concerns earlier stated. He added, “One person’s screw up should not push the whole thing out of order.” “overriding.” When Volan was actually confronted by Black, Baum and SA attorney a> Richard Lippes last May, he was technically no longer treasurer as the newly assembled Board of Directors was already in power. According to |i Mayersohn, who served last year as informal representative to the Board for former SA President Karl Schwartz, neither the old Board nor the new | | one was informed « h ® “ Wk*. i.

Early this semester, he finally agreed to allow Undergraduate Dean John J. Peradotto to report directly to him, ending a lengthy debate that could have seen a sizeable reduction in Peradotto’s power by placing him on a “Council for Undergraduate Education.” Carver qualified his statements with three basic points: that the phenomena noted are not unique to UB, that there are areas of the university that have not declined and have even grown (Architecture and Management), and his belief that efforts are underway to correct such obstacles as a weak registration procedure and a narrowing educational focus. With the qualifications on the record, Carver proceeded to A | Original UHTVEIWI PICTURE ftCHMCOEOR* round itocKj on MCA Aecordi 0 Toper Norionol La Mov# Oooh or C'«7» UNIVERSAL CITY STUDIOS INC ond Oookworei ALL RIGHTS RESERVED MMA 17 ftftWMS ACCtMfANTI PAWNT III *1011 WAMUI STARTS NOV 16th AT A ZOO NEAR YOU!

To see two daughters climb to the top? Gail Simmons and Pam Simmons-Detig, have finally been united as teammates on the Royals after competing against each other at separate schools. Gail previously bowled for Erie Community College while Pam represented UB on the bowling lanes. After much thought, Gail chose to transfer to UB last year, a move that has enabled the two to work oh their bowling skills together. “These girls are two of the strongest bowlers in New York State,” praised Royals’ coach Jane Poland. “They are a great asset to the team.” Being together on one team has also helped their game. “It’s a lot easier when we bowl together. We really didn’t have the kill desire when we were playing against each other as we do now,” explained Pam. “I couldn’t say ’go out and beat’em’ when 1 was actually talking about my own sister.” Gail reflects similar feelings of family loyalty. “When I bowled for ECC and Pam was here at UB, it there was really difficult. When we would beat UB . was always something taken away from our victory if Pam wasn’t doing well.” . . Double threat Both sisters have earned steady positions on Poland’s squad. Pam, averaging 184 pins per contest, was chosen as one of five women to represent the National All-Star bowling team last year. Gail, who averages 189, took fourth place honors out of 69 women bowlers in last year’s national competition. While Gail was at ECC last year, her team finished second in a Las Vegas tournament. UB, with Pam’s » talent at the line, ended in fourth place. The Simmons sisters have been conquering the lanes since age six. Gail, a junior human services major, bowled on Kenmore East’s team, which gave her the incentive to continue bowling in college. “I was working until 1 decided to go to ECC to bowl. Cindy Coburn (a highly talented former UB bowler) was also going to ECC at the time and she sort of talked me into going,” explained Simmons. Interestingly, another pair of avid bowling sisters split between ECC and UB were the infamous Coburns —Cindy and Barb Coburn -Jones. “We’ve bowled with Cindy and Barb a lot,” said the Simmons twosome. Friends The Simmons pair is tight-knit, as can be seen by watching the two sisters on the lanes. One is always found helping the other. “When I bowled at Erie, Pam used to come to my practices and to the team’s matches,” reported Gail. “She was really interested in the team before joining UB’s squad and she traveled with us a lot.” Pam, a sohpomore liberal arts major, has an overwhelming amount of respect for Buffalo’s team and coach Poland. “Miss Poland’s interest in us makes bowling so much easier,” admitted Pam. “She is always backing us up and has a genuine interest in helping us, not only with bowling but in our outside lives also.” Pam has confidence in the Royals, predicting, “Our team is capable of going very far. We should be among the top 10 teams in the nation, if not in the top five.” This is Gail’s last year of eligibility to bowl at the collegiate level, already entered in her fourth season. Both women have shown the talent to advance to the professional level of bowling but are unsure of their future plans. The Royals wish they could keep them. ■■ } * Trot for turkeys Turkey’s racing around the U.B. campus?

UB’s delegation—which included Koren, Ketter, and Student Association President Joel Mayersohn—were in Albany earlier in the day meeting with State officials. Koren was extremely pleased with the proceedings in the Capital, saying UB’s 1980-81 budget was “put forth very well.” Since the University again failed to meet projected enrollments, it is feared that the DOB will again slash the “ Council members meet and runto ceremony by Joe Simon Campus Editor Chairman of the University Council Robert Millonzi informed fellow members Friday that his response to President Robert L. Ketter’s Statement of Stewardship has been submitted to the SUNY Chancellor. Millonzi called the response as a “confidential document” and said Chancellor Clifton Wharton preferred he not disclose its contents. In an abbreviated session, Millonzi briefly discussed the evaluation precedure, Student Representative Michael Pierce previewed his “State of the University” address, and Council budget presentation in Albany, which SHORT SESSION: Th* University Council held a brief November mooting Friday. Chairman Robert MHtonzi (right) told the Council he compie ted his raaponaa to UB Praaldanl Hobart Kattar’a Statament of Stawardahlp,’ but that It waa ‘conlldanllal.’ had occured earlier in the day. Upon questioning by Pierce, Millonzi explained that his response to Ketter’s Statement of Stewardship—as is required by the revised Presidential evaluation procedures—was sent to the Chancellor one week ago. Pierce suggested that the Chairman review his document with Council members, but Millonzi said that was impossible, as his has response been deemed “confidential.” According to the evaluation procedures, the Chancellor is to form an evaluation team after reviewing both the Statement of Stewardship and the Council Chairman’s response. However, Millonzi’s response comes several weeks after the three person team was chosen. The half-hour meeting, extremely short for the Council which meets only once a month, ended early so members could attend the ceremonial cornerstone laying the new Baird Hall on the Amherst Campus. Several Council members, along with Ketter, also arrived late for the meeting after just flying in from Albany. Pleased with proceedings Pierce discussed with the Council the University-wide referendum held last week which resulted in over a 3:1 vote of No Confidence in President Ketter. Admitting voter turnout was hoped ‘for, just budget. Ketter, appearing relieved the presentation was over said State officials complimented UB on its presentation. “They said it was the best they’ve had this year,” he remarked. Ketter and Koren also praised Mayersohn with “the way he handled himself” before DOB. The brief meeting upset Pierce who was not able to deliver his “State of the University” address because of time limitations. He had hoped to give Council members the “student view” of the University, as opposed to the President’s'view which was delivered in Pierce requested that the Council hold another November meeting, but Millonzi rejected the proposal, saying Pierce would be allowed to give the speech at the Coh-'Ts December September. History grad director emerges from dispute DEMONSTRATION CONFLICT; Last yaar, close to 50 Iranian students (shown above) marched through the Main Street Campus demanding an and to U.S. support of the Shah. Iranian students are expected to raise their picket signs again today, demanding that the Shah, who is in exile in the U.S., be returned to Iran for prosecution of “war crimes.” As a result, a scheduled demonstration calling for the three-personpresidential evaluation team to conduct an open, public meeting, so that the University can voice its opposition to Robert L. Kettor's remaining in office, has been cancelled. The Ketter coalition still believes that an open meeting should be held, but fell that a potential confrontation between Iranian protesters and other people on campus—If the demonstrations were held in the same place as rumored—should be avoided. The Coalition has written the evaluators requesting an open meeting sometime during the next two days while the threeperson team will be on campus. a Team Chairman John Corbally told The Spectrum that he would not hold an his hotel open, public meeting. Contacted in Buffalo room, the Chairman explained that he is planning to meet with both student and faculty representatives beyond their elected leaders. Inside: Ironic fire — P. 3 / by Mark Meltzer have a Director of Graduate Studies he is able to work Campus Editor with. “I agreed to serve provided the chairman could work with me as an Associate Professor,” said Tucker. The Graduate Studies Program, meanwhile, is scheduled to undergo review this Spring. According to Loubere, the review will be conducted by three outside evaluators, but will not involve accreditation since it is not being conducted by the State Education Compromise candidate Melvin Tucker has agreed to direct the University’s Graduate Studies Program in History, quieting a political dispute that almost drew Department Chairman Leo Loubere’s resignation. Tucker emerged when students and faculty could not agree on either Associate Professor David Abosch or Professor Richard Ellis to lead the troubled program. Abosch won the Department’s vote, but Loubere was so “displeased” with him that he threatened to quit unless another candidate were named. Loubere supported Ellis, who as a full professor, he said, would have more time to do research work than Abosch. But Loubere’s dissatisfaction with Abosch may not be that clear cut, since he found no problem with Tucker. “Why does that reason hold for Professor Tucker (also an Associate Professor) and not for me?” Abosch questioned. While Abosch was reluctant to discuss Tucker’s appointment with The Spectrum Ellis spoke freely of his support for the new Director. “1 think he’s a very good choice,” Ellis noted, chalking the dispute up to “internal politics.” Ellis agreed the position would have been a challenge, but expressed no outward disappointment at his denial. Undergo review Tucker said he did not seek the directorship initially, “because I was perfectly prepared to serve anyone who got it.” It is the right of the chairman, he added, to Moon chasing — P. 6 / End of season—P. 9 / Department. Ellis cited low enrollment, an apparent lack of student interest in the program’s seminars and a loss of six faculty in the last six years among the Department's ills. ‘‘The graduate program has been sinking,” he said. Tucker, while acknowledging that some problems exist, did not agree with Ellis’ characterization. “I think we’re better than we really think we are,” Tucker commented. “I don’t think we’re the Berkeley of the East, but I do think we’re a very solid, respectable department.” With almost everyone involved smiling, it’s difficult to determine whether any bitterness will linger from the dispute. Director of Undergraduate Studies, John D. Milligan said anybody in the Department is in theory capable of directing the Graduate Studies Program and expected no problems working with Tucker. "It’s over and we’ve got to live in the present,” echoed Tucker. The only sign of discontent came from Abosch, who called the matter a private one and refused further comment. President of the History Department’s Graduate Student Organization Howard Bodner coult not be reached for comment Friday. Arctic P. 10 �w ! fircbl Love Canal families pack up once again by Seth The few remaining Love Canal residents lodged in area motels since Labor Day have agreed to leave their rooms.

Goodchild City Editor contaminated. In an out-of-court settlement, homeowners agreed to vacate the Niagara Falls’ Howard Johnson’s Motor Lodge and the Ecumenical a religious Task Force, organization, agreed to settle their outstanding motel bill. A spokesman for the Love Canal Homeowners Association (LCHA) told The Spectrum that under no conditions would the families return home. “It would be criminal,” she said. “The people of Buffalo have been great. Dozens of people have responded.” LCHA President Lois Gibbs reported that her group has been placing in successful residents—mostly with friends, and relatives, concerned citizens—but that not all have found housing. The motel people About 100 Love Canal families have been staying at motels since they moved out Labor Day. They complained that fumes from the remedial work were making them ill. The State agreed to pay for the rooms and an additional S13 per day food allowance through Monday night—the completion date of major remedial digging at the canal. Love Canal Task Force official Paul Weils reported that all construction is not finished, but the “deep excavation causing the problems has been done since Monday." When New t'Oflc recently cut off funding some of the residents refused to move, staying at motels three additional nights. Late Wednesday, the residents were served with court papers asking them to vacate. Motel officials said the court orders were used as a last resort after offers of reduced rates and an attempt to work out a plan with State officials failed. The court orders asked the homeowners to show why they should be permitted to retain their rooms and ordered them to appear in court last Wednesday. Attorneys for both sides were able to reach a settlement by early afternoon, LCHA lawyer Richard Lippes told The Spectrum. By noon, all the residents had cleared out of their rooms, reported Gibbs. Originally, the motel asked only for the residents to leave, not demanding payment. When the „ Lois Qlbbs —Dennis R. Floss Returning home ‘would be criminal' Ecumenical Task Force offered to pay part of the bill Thursday, Howard Johnsons’ changed their position—forcing the residents to pay and leave. The Ecumenical Task Force agreed to pay the debt. The once-again displaced residents were forced to look for lodging. Lippes said they are trying to get the An Force’s permission to use the Falcolner Manor, an Air Force lodging in Niagara Falls, as a possible housing center. The LCHA is looking for a sponsor to pick up the tab since the Air Force is asking for payment. Lippes also has contacted area colleges for available dorm space. At the Rodeway Inn 12 families had accepted an offer of reduced rates and remained—paying their own bill —till noon Friday when they checked out, spokesman for the families Louella Kenney told The Spectrum. One family remains at the John’s Motor Inn, paying its own way. As one LCHA official remarked, “I don’t know how they can afford An Environmental Protection Agency study conducted at the Love Canal last year showed a high risk of cancer for residents living within a 10-mile radius of the former landfill. Such studies convinced residents that it was no longer safe for their families to remain and they began their mass exodus from the area. LCHA consultant Beverly Paigan recommended last year that over 500 families be evacuated after finding high instances of miscarriages and birth defects at Love Canal, where Hooker Chemical Company dumped the chemicals. In late October, the State decided to purchase at least 239 homes in the Love Canal area, reversing its position not to buy more bourse near the chemical-filled site. The LCHA demanded that New York purchase over 500 homes, which the State Legislature recently approved. . Dr. Martin E.

Parry was arraigned in Evans Court by Judge Kirk Ritz. Ritz setjt the case to th«f District Attorney’s Office for a Grand Jury hearing and set Parry free of $5000 bail. While the case awaits trial, Parry will continue to teach as usual. According to Assistant Dean of Architecture Alfred Price there are no plans to take any action against equipment. According to an article in the Courier Express Parry was questioned by Town of Evans Detective Norman Boergers and Police Officer Jerome Mclntee, both assigned to the District Attorney’s Arson Task Force. Boergers told the Courier Express that “Parry had rented the barn from Mrs. Finley Greene to store exercise equipment. He said $40,000 worth of the devices —plastic inclines used for orthopedic and jogging exercising—were destroyed;” Evans Center firemen responded to the barn fire at 870 Bennett Road at approximately 1:30 a.m. on October 3 but were unable to save the building. Police estimated the damage to the barn itself at $10,000. The Courier Express reported that “a routine suspicious auto check by Police Officer Kevin Walters about 12:30 a.m. . . . discovered that an auto parked at the Evans Center Volunteer Fire Department (about a quarter mile from the fire scene) belonged to Parry. “After the fire, Walters I Community ties w Italian course probes history of the culture “The Italian Tradition,” a course designed mainly for members of the Italian community of Buffalo, is being taught for the first time this semester at UB.

The faculty for the course is inter-disciplinary and cuts across several faculties. “That’s the kind of effort you don’t often see at this University. It’s overload teaching for all of us,” he said.

Ketter at a meeting Thursday. While the report did not specifically register “support” or “non-support”, it contains “not many positive points,” according to one Senate officer. The original draft was scrutinized early last week in two separate sessions. The outside evaluating team will be presented the final form intended to stand as the professional staff’s interpretation of the state of this University. Comprised of all non-academic but professional University employees, the staff has maintained monthly contact with the President. Senators studied five areas of the University: Health Sciences, The Core Campus, Student Support Services, University Support Services and University Administration and Operation. The staff’s evaluation of campus conditions and GREAT JOB?: When contacted by The Spectrum lor his assistance on an unrelated story, Mayor James Grillin commented on the recent University-wide referendum to evaluate President Robert L. Kettsr. “What kind ol assholes are you people to vote against Ketter? I hope you’re not one of the nincompoops who voted against him. He’s doing a great job.” A bit later in the phone interview, he asked, “Don’t you UB students read anything else but the goddamned The Spectrum" leadership generally praised the accessibility of, and communication efforts made by Ketter, but noted that problems generated both internally and externally—still plague UB. — Disappointed A summary statement of the report cited an inconsistency between operational activities and objectives and the University’s mission(s) and goals; an often reactive rather than proactive administration; a need for improved communications at all levels: a tendency for middle management level decisions to be decided “at the top”: and a failure of University Affirmative Action efforts. The Senate, however, did commend Ketter’s interaction with, and support of, the professional staff. 1 “This,” the draft read, “happened early in the fact, of this there was more organization. In formation than recognition and support: there was also encouragement and cooperation.” But Senators questioned whether UB will “simply react” to pressures of the next decade or “seek creative approaches to understanding and responding.” Administrative procedures also came under question as obstructing, rather than facilitating teaching and research. Additionally, “the leadership”, while credited with stabilizing the University environment and solidifying relationships with the community, has not, the Senators concluded, dealt “successfully” with internal problems. A “lack of foresight” also attracted attention. “Only now,” the report claims, “in the face of declining enrollments and serious attrition, does the administration begin to consider the impact of these factors upon the University.” Students needs and complaints need to be taken “very seriously” the Senators said. Busing between campuses, registration, housing and improving the calibre of teaching were noted as important issues.

Diary Acid use on the rise? Spectrum Staff Writer Acid is one of the top five drugs taken by college students in the United States today. According to a study 1 initialed at SUNY Stony Brook last year; it closely rivals the use of marijuana, THC, PCP Methylqualude (ludes) and qualude amphetamines. Out of the approximately 400 students surveyed, about 20 percent attending SUNY schools on Long Island have tried acid and about 10 percent use it regularly (twice a month or more). A 19 year-old Stony Brook student from New York City whom I’ll call Casey, participated in the study and related some detailed accounts of her drug use. She kept a journal detailing her one-year acid stint. Casey made journal entries as she was coming down from each trip. ‘‘I started when my boyfriend asked me if I wanted to try a hit of Organe Sunshine at a movie. He bought it from the people sitting next to us. 1 liked the experience, I saw really freaky things, so I did it again. My boyfriend didn’t want me to trip because he thought it would affect when we had children. I saw no evidence'of that so 1 went for more experience. Sometimes weak acid like Sunshine wasn’t around to cop so 1 had to cop Blotter or LSD or Micro Dot. 1 like Blotter best, Black Blotter.” February 5, 1977 (Micro Dot)— Home-party in Queens Village—Halfempty wine bottles seemed to refill themselves and overflow.

They’re little dots of acid on blotter paper, that’s why they call it blotter. Anyway, I bought them back with me on the railroad, by the time 1 got to my dorm from the railroad station, I out. Word had got out that 1 was bringing it back. As long as the cops aren’t onto you and you’re just a little careful, you can’t get caught with acid, not Blotter. Maybe you can get caught with LSD, that’s on sugar EARN DOLLARS s user by Ruth Cohen First offenders of the possession of acid may get a reduced sentences, but will be convicted according to Buffalo Police officers. “The possession of even one hit of acid is a misdemeanor and is punishable by up to one year in prison,” informed Buffalo Police Captain, J. S. Cortelli. “One to four mg. of acid is punishable by five to ten years, and more than 25 mg. by ten years to a life sentence,” he added. According to Buffalo Police Chemist Charles Meli, THC and PCP are being passed off as acid on the streets. “THC and PCP will make you trip,” he said, but noted that they are pills which can lodge in a “clump in any pan of your body.” At any lime then they can decompose and you’ll get a free trip even if you don’t want it,” he warned. Meli claimed that acid doesn’t totally pass out of the user’s system for at least 25 to 30 years. Recurences have been known to happen ten years after a person originally ingested the acid. “A recurrence is a total reliving of the trip,” he said. Usage has not gone down although dosages have. “About ten years ago experimenters were using 200 to 300 micrograms according to Meli, which is what was bought on the sreet —to test the effects of acid, he said. Now the usual street dosage is only twenty-five micrograms.” Meli told The Spectrum that a user cannot die from strictly an overdose of acid. However, he said that death does occur from particular effets that the acid might have on a person’s mind. “For example, your brain may forget how to breathe,” he said. PCP is toxic and an overdose of that will kill. According to Buffalo Police statistics, use of acid does lead more often than not to the use of harder drugs such as heroin and morphine. Cortelli said that police make about 180 arrests for acid possession each year. This arrest record has remained relatively constant, although there has been a large decrease in manpower of the squad, he noted. “This indicates that there has been an increase of use on the streets that has gone undetected,” acknowledged Cortelli. 5 of an acid cubes.” in your spare time! • Study while you donate plasma.

We look at President Ketter and his ig With respect | | o * * f| Three days in November, Starting yesterday and ending tomorrow, the three day period that the presidential evaluation team spends on campus could prove to be the greatest fact-finding mission, in-depth analysis, and careful evaulation that Robert Ketter and this University have undergone in 10 years. Or the evaluation could prove a sham. Since July, politics have clouded every step leading up to this week’s site visit.' First, the guidelines were revamped—eliminating the campus-based constituency committee that would have judged the president. Second, the Faculty Senate voted to defy the guidelines by distributing a survey, despite the fact that new procedures preclude “non-attributable” information such as surveys. Third, the Chancellor’s office and Ketter played political ping-pong, refusing to release the names of the three because a feeling of helplessness has overcome our classmates. The Administration, in turn, has capitalized on this situation and oppressed the student population An example of this problem is evident In the University Housing Policy. Each year students are assessed for damages incurred within the dormitories. While many of these bills are justly distributed, some of them are still charged unfairly. The student’s only recourse, when improperly charged, is a heated debate with the Housing Office. If Housing finds that your claim has no merit, the charge is tacked on to your bill student needs. Carmine Avantini. Executive Director Group Legal Services Program evaluators. This was followed by statements by Team Chairperson John Corbally that he would examine data not recommended by the guidelines—such as surveys and polls. Next, he asked Chairman of the Faculty Senate Newton Carver to provide him with a list of faculty with whom the committee could—but did not have to—confer. Ketter then told students in Haas Lounge that No Confidence votes by all campus constituencies may not affect his plans to stay President. Lastly, campus constituents voted No Confidence in Ketter in a Universitywide referendum last week. And now we are entering the final days of a five-month journey to ensure that Robert Ketter undergoes an appropriate evaluation—and that this University has its say. But the outside team has left many questions unanswered. Why didn’t it establish an agenda prior to yesterday’s meeting? The agenda, that we assume was set forth yesterday, should be explained; which faculty and students is the committee meeting with and how were they selected? To what degree will the Faculty Senate’s survey and the University-wide referendum be weighed by the committee? To what extext will the three heavily negative evaluations of Ketter—by the faculty, students and the professional staffs—be counted. Reached by The Spectrum yesterday afternoon, Corbally revealed that he would not hold an open meeting. The Chairman explained that, in his opinion, a public forum would not serve to aid the evaluators as much as individual meetings with various University constituents. We are not as confident that this is so. But we are somewhat heartened by Corbally’s reassurance that not only will many faculty be contacted, but students—beyond the graduate and undergraduate presidents—will have an opportunity to voice their sentiments to the panel. He told The Spectrum that, through Vice President for Student Affairs Richard Siggelkow, the jcommittee will arrange for student input. One of the more pressing questions goes beyond the evaluation itself and centers on when the results will be made public. Corbally said that the Chancellor has asked him to complete his findings by the end of the calendar year, but he hopes to forward a report in mid-December. These three days reflect the culmination of months of work on behalf of students, faculty and professional employees. We can only hope that the evaluation team recognizes this and demonstrates its sincerity by treating the evaluation with as much respect as it is asking the University to treat the evaluators.

Many unjust University policies are accepted by the student body with blind faith. Only a fraction of all grievances actually reach the student newspapers at the Office of Student Accounts. The student, in turn, cannot go to Small Claims Court because the University is a state entity and can only be sued in the Court of Claims. To go through this procedure, the costs would far exceed the original assessment. As students, we are being denied Due Process of Law. This is a constitutional right guaranteed to all people in our country. Yet at this University a flagrant violation of this right is occurring.

Is swept up in a mandatory student activity fee 2. Is used to support special interest groups Specifically, in the real world, clubs are not supported by a tax (which is what the fee seems to be). Clubs should be supported entirely by club dues, and fund wising activities. It doesn’t seem realistic for a black club, or a Jewish club, or a gay club, or a glee club or any other club to expect funds from this tax. . . . But neither does it seem reasonable that only the "minorities” have clubs. Why isn’t there a majority club?—i.e. one whose members represent the majority in the country’s population. I think a club should be formed, representing the majority, and if the student government insists on supporting nonsense minority clubs, then they will be made to support our majority club. The funds we receive will bo distributed among the members—a sort of tax rebate, if you will. S.C. Sutton felAKE IT IHSiDE by Joyce Howe The problem with waiting, she thought to herself as doors to the Rathskellar kept opening and closing and the one person she wanted to walk in never did (how foolish of her to even hope when she’d been warned not to over and over again), is that you never go anywhere. You just sit still, like she was doing now, playing with the little red and white Salada tag line hanging limply from her white styrofoam cup. It read “keep the old as long as it is good and take the new as soon as it is better.” How profound. She remembered when she was a real innocent and actually kept what she considered to be the “best" sayings tacked onto a corkboard in the pattern of a pyramid. Tiny truths stacked one on top of another so she wouldn’t forget. There is a young man sitting near here (behind her if she continued to keep her back rudely facing him). She could not call him a boy or a man or a guy as she would have classified any of a number of males in the Rat that day. He was definitely a young man. If she were ten years older, she’d probably dream of seducing him because he reminded her of a son. They know each other casually. Mutual friends of a friend. Now they are both hovered over sheaths of paper askew on their respective round wooden tables; she is directly underneath a light, he is tucked in the dark. Still, they talk now and then over the din of music and banging trays. And she can’t help but notice how his slender face and body remind her of someone from a fairy tale read long ago, how his entire face seems to be taken up by a smile, when he smiles. He tries to read over her shoulder. But her handwriting is too slanted and cramped on the page for him to decipher. She read once that this was a sign of passion, the tendency to bear down hard with a pen and lean. Funny what people wHI read into things. Just like people who still believe monthly horoscope will plan their actions if they only heed the moon’s houses. She decided full moons and not stars were the only charms worth wishing on. Five years old, she ran up and down her city block, chasing the damn moon as It ducked behind apartment buildings when she passed. She believed then that the moon moved, that it chased her too. And it always beat her. The moon kept going places as she just kept getting breathless holding her short arms out like a net. Tiny truth: you don’t run after anything you can’t catch. But you can still wish, she told herself as the young man, who had a French accent laced through his voice like an expensive scent (the kind you’re never quite aware of unless you think about it), started to wistfully tell her about Love Me Tonight, an antique film starring America’s sweetheart Jeannette McDonald and Maurice Chevalier. Only he pronounced Chevalier “Sheevalyay." She let him buy her boiling water for more tea. Two friends stumbled by and stopped at her table. One carried the thick black volume of Shakespeare good for use as a bookend. He planned to read Richard III and get into Bolingbroke. The other, the redhead, carried a pair of sunglasses with silver reflective lenses. He put them on for their curiosity. They told him he looked, freckles and all, as if were auditioning for a remake of The Fly. He said “UB is like a potato, mashed.” The one with the Shakespeare swung his btue-black hair back from his eyes and said he wanted to go somewhere, go out West, ao to Europe, go to Chad. Anywhere. She and the redhead said “Let's go Togo,” "Let's go Bombay” to make him laugh. They thought of everything. They knew they were going nowhere. A door swung open and the one person she wanted to walk in finally did. He took a few stops, looked around, and didn't see her. She got up without a word and hurried over. She felt vaguely she was finally getting somewhere. r ■ �I Seriously wrong (4. /*** To the Editor: On the front page of Friday’s The Spectrum (Nov. 9, 1979), Dr. Ketter was quoted as having dismissed the importance of his recent evaluation referendum due to the small number of voters. Perhaps the profound significance of his statements will be felt during the next referendum when a seven percent turnout becomes yet smaller. May the complete cause and interpretation of this apathy be realized. Something is seriously wrong. Ronald Dabelle The failed master plan . To the Editor Dr. Robert Ketter, who is being evaluated as President of the State University of New York at Buffalo (SUNYAB), issued his “Statement of Stewardship". Although few readers can wade through the ponderous academic administrative jargon of this Statement, get past the cliches and misinformation, and come to the main point, there is a simple point to it. The document is really a hidden confession of how Ketter's obsession with a masterplan for construction at SUNYAB has frustrated and destroyed the education hopes for SUNYAB that seemed so bright a decade ago. What has happened at SUNYAB under Ketter can be understood by thinking of Ketter as a baseball manager. He has taken a team that was a few years ago regarded as a pennant contender and turned it into a permanent cellar dweller. He has accomplished this feat by extraordinarily bad management. What was wrong with Ketter’s management? Continuing with the baseball analogy, one would have to suppose that the manager had been promised a fancy new stadium with an enlarged seating capacity. Although the team is nowadays so low in the standings that it can’t fill the existing seats, the manager is not really concerned with the team, the tans, or the standings. All that he wants to do is to get all of those promised seats in the stadium. Nothing else matters. Here is one specific, little-known example of the way that Ketter’s obsession with the masterplan for the SUNYAB campus has worked against the interests of the students, faculty, and educational function of the university. This information came from a top rapid transit planner. He told me that the planners had pointed out to Ketter that in the original masterplan the location of the rapid transit station on the Amherst campus was far away from the main buildings. The planners wanted the station moved closer to these buildings, arguing that the students and faculty were not likely to use a rapid transit system that required them to walk a mile in the snow to get to their classes. Ketter refused to consider this change because he felt it would spoil the architectural vistas of the masterplan. His stubborness has blocked the extension of the rapid transit system to the Amherst campus. Indeed, it may long delay or even kill the intercampus rapid transit connection, a connection that could have solved the major SUNYAB problem. The fact that there are still three campuses is the root of many troubles at SUNYAB. One campus was to have closed long ago. That it is still in use is due largely to Ketter’s obsession with the masterplan. The plain fact is that there is far more space but many fewer students at SUNYAB today than when Ketter assumed his stewardship. If Ketter had been willing to use the Main Street campus for health sciences and engineering and to use the Amherst Campus for the other schools, the Ridge Lea campus could have been closed down long ago and there would be relatively little intercampus traffic. But if Ketter had used the SUNYAB space efficiently, he would have lost his leverage with Albany for the construction of the remaining buildings in the masterplan. Wasting 25 percent to 35 percent of the space made it possible to claim that there was insufficient space for “accreditation” purposes—the most powerful leverage with Albany. However, this administrative gimmick has now boomeranged and now seriously jeopardized the actual accreditations—and survival—of several campus departments. The whole problem is a direct result of Ketter’s obsession with the masterplan. There are a large number of other disastrous effects from this obsession with the masterplan. One of them is that between $5,000,000 and $10,000,000 a year that should be going to education are instead going right down the drain—Into gasoline and other energy costs, into completely unnecessary rental payments, into costs for busdrivers and other non-educational personnel needed to maintain three separate campuses when this is far more than enough space at two. Bussing alone costs $1,000,000 a year and would be largely unnecessary with a rational use of existing space. The taxpayers of the city and state are, of course, paying dearly for this obsession with a masterplan. Incidentally, virtually all of the serious budget deficiencies—the payment of Teaching Assistants which are badly needed by most departments, for example, as well as student functions—would be more than covered by the SUNYAB budget totally wasted each year on this notso-magnificent obsession.

Their statement supporting the kidnappings and confinement of Americans In Iran by radical students, openly supported by the tyrannical religious fanaticism of the Ayatollah Khomeini, is beneath contempt. How quickly these power hungry hypocrites have adopted the Shah’s own tactics; tactics they so fervently protested not so long ago. Their actions and their hatred of the Shah and Americans will soon be matched by our own contempt for these despicable leeches on the American education system. To think that the United States would release the Shah into the bloodstained hands of these ruthless fanatics is ridiculous. Do the Iranian students believe that the U.S. would turn over any man as ransom and allow him to be murdered? Oh, of course he would be tried, convicted, and put to death by the zealous Islamic inquisition so that justice could be served. Likewise this travesty of justice has put to death thousands who voiced disapproval of Khomeini and his bloody rise to power. Can the Iranian students justify the slaughter of the Kurds whose crime was also disagreement with the tyrant Khomeini? I think not. And let it not be said that I argue from religious intolerance. I have several Islamic friends who are saddened and sickened by the situation in Iran. Khomeini and his thugs are a disgrace to their people, to Islam, and to Allah. They are nothing more than murderers lusting tor blood and power not unlike Hitler, Stalin, or the Ku Klux Klan. The overthrow of the Shah to “restore religious and moral purity" is and always has been a flimsy facade covering a great evil. Khomeini’s so called "Islamic republic" is a ruthless dictatorship far worse than that of the Shah. Even now the Ayatollah’s medieval rule is riddled with dissention and will soon disintegrate into anarchy at best and ultimately destroy Iran. And do these arrogant Iranian students think that for one moment the rest of the world will sit by and idly § watch Iran deteriorate? On the contrary, the Soviet | Union, Turkey, Iraq, and Pakistan all cowet Iran’s miserable oil filled mountains and plateaus and the £ Persian Gulf ports each would gladly twist the J knife Khomeini has planted in Iran's heart. And what | about the U.S.? I, for one, say to these Iranian students: | Go back to Iran and its religious fanaticism, its miserable poverty, its ignorance, its backward % medieval morality, its archaic sexist, restrictive society! Go back to Iran and shove your oil! I’ll gladly endure gas rationing rather than have your kind in my country and at my school! Go back to Iran and be with it when it dies; dies from within thanks to your murdering despot Khomeini. The United States and the American people should not and I, for one, will not stand for your insolence. Whether the American prisoners are released or not, Iran will be subject to worldwide ridicule. It is time for the world and especially the United Slates to act out of strength and not weakness toward terrorism, despotism, and fanaticism. Iran should be subjected to total economic sanctions more stringent than those imposed on Rhodesia or South Africa. A total blockade of trade and severing of all diplomatic relations might well show who needs whom In our world. America does not need Iran, its bloodstained oil, and certainly not its murdering people or their supporters. And before the self-righteous pseudoliberals reply to this with tirades about the Shah's disregard for human rights, C.I.A. plots, or American exploitation let me make one thing very clear; I am no rednecked conservative shouting "America, love it or leave It," waving a flag and a Budweiser. On the contrary, I am a truly idealistic, humanistic liberal who has seen great injustices result from our self-inflicted weaknesses. No one was called a Zionist for condemning the Arab terrorists at Munich in 1972. Therefore I will not be called a hawkish conservative redneck for my stand on Iran. I may to those Iranian students who support Khomeini and his murdering fanatics; Sbpport Khomeini if you will, defend hirp if you can. But do so you or your oil. on Iranian soil. America * , David A. Lewis On the inside To the Editor: I sincerely hope you find enough merit, concern, and charm in this letter to print it in your student newspaper, merit for both its ultimate aim as well as the quiet reasoning behind it. It is in fact, an appeal, a quest for a different and novel friendship between people. As president of this chapter it is my responsibility to reach out to your school and relay the needs and feelings of those I represent. Simply stated, my request is that your school participate in a correspondence program with the men in here at the Attica Correctional Facility. This program is designed to transcend the dichotomy inherent in the college versus prison milieus, and is founded upon discarding considerations such as age, race, sex, religion, socioeconomic backgrounds, and mind-sets. Conceptually the program trys to build deep, revealing, meaningful, and satisfying friendships between people. As president of our fraternity and coordinator of the program I recognize the limitations built into this format, however, I’ve seen many rewarding experiences and interaction gleaned from the program. We are now involved with more than 40 Colleges and Universities across the nation. Your school is on a target list of schools not yet interacting witn our fraternity, your school was chosen because of the potential high quality of input and/or involvement. All men participating in the program here have been screened by our organization and are interested in writing and meeting new friends. Most of the men are considered political prisoners, meaning, very few members of Sic-Ra are here for crimes against person or property. Rather, crimes committed against the state. As such, the majority of men are well-educated, intelligent, creative, objective, mature, and hold strong political beliefs. The system is simple, someone writes to me or my secretary expressing-a wish to correspond with one of our members, that person is matched with said member and they can then correspond with each other. This is not, and I repeat; this is not a lonely hearts club, nor are there any strings attached: a person is tree to write, not write, or discontinue to write as they so choose. I hope your school will be interested in joining our program, and speaking personally, l‘m sure everyone involved will find K a rewarding and enlightening experience.

The Division 1 Raiders handed Buffalo a failing grade, in the form of an 8-1 romp. Even UB coach Ed Wright was disappointed in his troops, especially the defense. ”1 must have made a mistake saying the defense was stronger than last year,” Wright said somberly. “The defense didn’t play any kind of a decent game. We constantly had two guys mesmerized by the puck while three of their forwards were going for it.” Buffalo lacked cohesion on the ice, probably because the season has just begun. Errant passes were the order of the day, usually ending up on Colgate sticks. In fact, many UB players argued that they would only get one chance at the opposing net each time they attacked. in icers •‘We couldn’t put a sustained drive together,” said UB’s Clayton Watters, who pulled shoulder muscles in the second period but will be back for the Bulls’ next contest. “We’d take a shot and they’d come right back with a threcon-one to get a goal.” Buffalo goaltender Bill Kaminska knew he faced a 42-shot blitz. “Because they were better, smarter hockey players,” he explained, “a lot of times whem we’d take a gamble, they’d immediately see it, take the puck and come down with a two-on-onc.” The embarrassing defeat even prompted Wright to analyze the basic distinction between a Division a Division II and 1 performer—speed. ‘‘They skate quicker, they think quicker—they do everything more quickly.” No blowout Although an 8-1 score has connotations of a total wipeout, such was not the case. The first SAVE, KAMINSKA: Buffalo goal!* Bill Kamfnska stops Colgate's Mika Houla from point-blank ranga as UB’s Gary Trumplhallar (19) skatas back toward his not. Tha Bulls' kaapar ended 2-1. The game was decided in the second period, when UB outshot the visitors, 10-9, but was outscored 3 0. The Bulls had many good opportunities but could not put the puck by second-string goalie Drew Schaefer whose acrobatics stifled the locals from stanza cams out on top, 8-1. close in The Raiders were quick to break out of their own end once having gained control, so it was appropriate that they would put the contest out of reach in this manner. The opportunistic Colgate offense did not waste any time streaking down the ice and firing away at the befuddled and, more often than not, unprotected Kaminska. The UB netminder handled his net well enough to prevent a score for eight minutes of the middle period—including a brilliant stop of Denis Lapensee’s break-away. But Colgate’s Bill McCreary—who was picked up by Toronto in the recent NHL draft —put in a hard drive from the left face-off circle at 8:22. Merely 24 seconds later the Raider attack skated down in a tight crowd down the middle lane. Mike Rowley gained control in the center of the group and backhanded an icehugger by a sprawled Kaminska to give Colgate a decisive 4-1 edge. “As soon as they got ahead by a couple of goals in the second period we lost our composure,” noted the Bulls’ Greg Bauer. “One or two goals in the second period would have made a difference,” claimed UB’s Chris Weinholtz, who centers for left winger Tom Wilde and John Gallagher on the talented “red” line.

Pete Dombrowski delighted the vocal Tonawanda Ice Time crowd of approximately 1500 when he sent a rising wrist shot by the screened Colgate goalie from 30 feet out at 2:18. “I just walked in and took the shot,” Dombrowski related. “It kind of drooled in. I was glad to get it,” Buffalo’s edge was shortlived. Run and gun Resembling basketball’s gun tupe of attack, consistently took the puck down the length of the run-aridColgate and flew rink for quick machine-gun-like shots at Kaminska before the UB defense could recover. The Raiders scored the typing goal on one of these “blitzkriegs.” After clanging the post and barely missing on another shot, McCreary gained control behind the UB het and sent the puck out in front, where Lapensee instinctivly lifted it over Kaminska at 3:52. Buffalo became over-eager in its attempt to keep the Raiders out of the home side, and ragged physical play soon put . Colgate on a seemingly perpetual power play. UBVRich MacLean, John Sucese and Wilde made a valiant effort to offset the manpower disadvantage, but even the best power play killing units in the past have failed to hold off Colgate’s attack for long. A last ditch effort by Colgate’s Chirs Renaud directed the puck to McCreary, allowing the fastgunning left wing to fire a 30-footer over Kaminska’s left shoulder and earn the visitors a 2-1 advantage. The Bulls will travel to the Oswego State Tournament this coming weekend to face clubs comparable to the Raiders. The likes of Merrimac and Chicago Circle comprise the top talent in Division 11. A tournament is usually a sterner test than a single game. Maybe this time the Bulls will earn a passing grade.

Defense can’t take the blame for this one: Bull’s offense dies by Dan Holder Spectrum Staff Writer ALFRED —If you have althlete’s foot, don’t blame Desenex. If you can’t win a football game, don’t blame your defense. In past games, the football Bulls’ defensive unit has been handed the blame for losses. In Saturday’s 16-3 loss to Alfred, the lack of a sustained offense can take full responsibility. “The defense had some good hitting—hitting them real hard,” explained UB coach Dill Dando. “We lost it in the punting game. We couldn’t get out of the hole. We just always found our&lves in fourth and long situations.” The Saxon Warriors won the coin toss, and Buffalo’s defense jogged onto the field for the start of a very long afternoon. For three quarters, the cycle went: UB got the ball. UB drove forward for five or six plays. UB punted to Alfred. Alfred drove down for ten or eleven plays. UB defense recovered the ball. UB and so offense drove forward on. ... This is not to say that the offense didn't, do anything. UB’s Jim Rodriguez connected on 10 out of 29 passes for 163 yards—Frank Price catching nine of those for 159 yards. The outstanding feature was Steve Pawluk setting a new school record for field goals in a season. Pawluk kicked an 18-yarder, after UB’s Mark Stillman recovered a fumbled punt early in the second quarter. From the Saxons’ 27-yard line, Rodriguez hit Price on a 21-yard pass for a first down and goal. Buffalo ran three plays but fell one yard short of the end zone. Pawluk then hit his ninth field goal in eleven attempts, passing Bob Embow’s 1978 record. a success: blunted Scalpel Football players rest at ease. The disease which spread through the intramural football season has been arrested. The “surgeons” of Tolchok II have severed Gangreene from the playoffs with a 7-0 victory. The scene of the operation was a rain-soaked mud-pile called Acheson field. The time of surgery was 4 p.m. Thursday and the unsanitary conditions of the field and the poor weather made it look as if the operation would never take place. Presiding Tolchok doctor Daniel Clabaux and his team of surgeons at first seemed unable to anesthetize the patient. Gangreene refused to under, its infectious defense constantly fighting back. Without the help of all parties involved, the operation hkd to be postponed until the second half. The second half began the same way the first left off. The patient and the doctor were both unwilling to cooperate. Suddenly the Tolchok physician brought out his secret weapon—the blunted scalpel. The go scalpel (a wobbly thirty-yard pass), hit its mark, amputating much of goal. outplayed,’’ “We were commented Pawluk. “It shouldn’t have been so high a score. The defense can’t stay on the field the whole game.” After playing three hard quarters the Bulls’ defense started to crack. In the fourth quarter, Alfred drove straight at Buffalo’s front line. In 10 consecutive running plays Alfred gained 55 yards, Mark Best capping the drive with a three-yard scoring sprint. Tough defense The Bulls’ defense kept Alfred off the scoreboard until the last play of the second quarter. Interceptions by UB’s Shane Currey in the first period and Sean Kowal’s steal late in the second quarter led the way. The Saxons tied the game with five seconds to go in the first half. Operation amputates Gangreene In 10 plays, Alfred drove 72 yards. One third down and long, the UB defense held the Saxons to force a punt, but a late hit by Bobn Costanzo cost UB a 15-yard penalty, setting up the Saxon field The Saxons completed the with Dave Lester’s touchdown catch from a pass by Bob Schuster. Setting up the score was a 44-yard reception by the quarterback’s brother, Bill Schuster. Alfred fumbled the extra scoring point attempt. Costly fumbles LET IT FLY: UB quarterback Jim Rodriguez barely gets the paaa oil before blitzing The Saxons would have scored more but the Bulls alert defenders forced and recovered drivestopping fumbles. In the third quarter, Alfred had a first down and goal, but came away with nothing. A strong goal-line defense held Alfred to no gain in three plays, and then caused a fumble in the end zone. To complete the turnover record,’ Jim Pepe recsovered an Alfred fumble in the fourth quart#' for the last of the three fumble recoveries. The loss left Buffalo with a 4-5 season, and boosted the Saxons’ lifetime record over the Bulls to 20-13-4. Alfred first beat UB in 1902, incurred its last defeat in 1957. The two teams did not meet between 1957 and 1978. Dando is optimistic about the future, ‘‘we’ll only lose three starters (senior Jim Vaux, Jack Dunbar, and Craig Cirbus). We’ll be back with 57 starters, still a very young team.” At least one very active Bulls’ supporter has few regrets about the end of the 1979 campaign. “I’m glad the season’s over,” exclaimed Frances “Willie” Dando, the coach’s wife. “Now we can go back linebaeker Doug Band!

Head nurse Bobby Moyhihan then inserted the suture, sewing up the drive by grabbing an eight yard touchdown toss. It was now up to Clabaux to finish up. Clabaux tossed the sponge into the waiting arms of orderly “pin” Lenihan to seal the operation up, 7-0. As the anesthetic wore off, Gangreene tried to re-fester. They spread downfield at epidemic levels until a little Tolchok disinfectant sterilized them. With one minute left, “Doctor” Clabaux’ surgical team scrubbed down and watched the time run out.

On a recent Arctic expedition, a University of Buffalo professor had to contend with hungry polar bears along with the all too familiar snow, ice and numbing cold. UB Mechanical Engineering professor Benjamin Gebhart was one of twenty scientists who participated in an Arctic expedition this September. Gebhart’s interests in the expedition centered around heat transfer processes, the melting and freezing properties of Arctic ice packs, and how the surroundings influence the characteristics of these ice packs. This Norwegian government sponsored expedition was called the “Norsex 5,”—Norwegian Remote Sensing Experiment. Norwegian Government officials are concerned with the effect that the Arctic waters will have on Norwegian waters due to Norway’s proximity to the Arctic circle. There is also the concern about the effect that the Arctic waters may have on other bodies of water throughout the world. The Norwegian government rented an ice breaker called the M/S Polarsirkel, to be used in carrying out the expedition. The crew of 19 scientists, science assistants and students included three Americans, a Swiss, a Dane and a Canadian. Each of these scientists specialized in different fields of study, such as engineering, oceanography, earth science and environmental sciences. Don't eat yellow snow The M/S Polarsirkel served as the scientists’ home and supply depot for the 21 days they were in the Arctic. Because there is no land above latitude 80° north, planes flying from Longyearbyen Airport served as directional indicators for the breaker. “The Arctic circle is an ice-covered basin,” described Gebhart. “There is no land in the Arctic, and other than ice peaks the only structures are pieces of floating ice, he added. Gebhart explained that the heights of these ice peaks will vary, some will be as small as one meter while others will be quite large. The flow of water between these peaks is referred to as a “Lead.” The average water temperature was about -1.8 degrees Celsius. near Winspear 832 8022 SPECIAL DISCOUNTS TO STUDENTS WITH I.D. $2 Oft all cuts—$5 Off all perms Hr MASTER OF SCIENCE IN TRANSPORTATION AT MIT The new MASTER of SCIENCE DEGREE in TRANSPORTATION is based on an interdisciplinary, intermodal approach to transportation. The program is accessible to students with a wide range of undergraduate degrees including, engineering, the social sciences, architecture, management, planning and operations research. Students also participate as research assistants in a large variety of research projects focusing on the role of transportation in solving some of society's basic problems such as equity, energy, the environment, and economic development. Spies in the cold While the scientists were on the surface gathering data, the planes overhead were also gathering information. The two sets of data would later be compared to check the accuracy of the information gathered by the plane. “A large amount of data was collected which should prove to be valuable to the study of heat transfer in the future,” said Gebhart. DASHING THROUGH THE ..Mechanical Engineering Prolessor Benjamin Gebhatt (above) recently relumed from a research expedition to the Arctic where his team examined, among other things, ice pack characteristics. He stressed that the distances the breaker was able to travel throughout the Arctic were restricted because of the way the ice packs were positioned. All remaining travel was done on foot.' Walking was somewhat dangerous because it involved jumping across the leads in order to get from one ice pack to another, explained Gebhart. There was always the possibility of slipping and landing in the icy, cold water. Because there is no land, the only forms of wildlife that the scientists reported were polar bears, many species of cold region birds and seals. According to Gebhart, while the breaker rested on some ice packs, a polar bear wandered by and one of the scientists made the mistake of throwing it some food. “Within a few hours there were about 20 polar bears around the breaker looking for food. Because polar bears are one of the few species that hunt human beings for food, our plans for camping on the ice packs were limited to three days,” he said. At another point on the trip, the scientists noticed a series of lights in the desolate wasteland. They turned out to be a Russian breaker which had been sent to investigate. Supposedly word had reached Russian officials that a study of the Artie was underway. “They did nothing but watch our every move for a few days,” explained Gebhart. Although the data has yet to be analyzed, the scientists consider the voyage to be a success. A final report summarizing the findings of ail the scientists involved in the expedition will be drawn up at a conference in Bergen, Norway, August 1980, at which time all the scientists will have an opportunity to summarize their data and give individual reports based on their findings.

Ketter called the University referendum designed to evaluate him “meaningless.” The President said, “Only seven percent of the people eligible to vote decided to say anything. It’s not a significant vote because of the small turnout.” better said that it has been statistically shown that in small turnouts, “only those who feel violently one way or another” voice their opinion. Two weeks ago, Ketter told students that if all the campus constituents voiced No Confidence, it might not affect his plans to continue in his present Thursday post. Results of a University-wide referendum to cvj Ketter show that slightly less than three-quart confidence in Ketter. 2423 people: 2150 studem staff, voted in the'two-day referendum. Every campus faculty No Confidence than Confidence votes in the Pi campus polling places, the only location where K< margin was the staff vote in Capen Hall. Tallies staff members voiced Confidence, 24 voted No undecided. Graduate Student Association President Joyt Student government officials who. organized the verdict is in—Dr. Ketter lacks the support of “Especially considering that faculty and staff al.< ' I Good turnout Student Association President Joel Mayersohn show an overwhelming lack ofconfidence in the lead the campus.” Mayersohn also noted that i was “pretty good.” He said, “It was larger elections and this is a positive indication that the The last student election (held last Spring) was a the undergraduate senate. 1635 students voted. Further breakdowns of the two-day referent voiced No Confidence four times as often as they 355). Faculty, although nowhere close to studeni followed a similar pattern with 114 saying Confidence. University staff—where the fewest cast—voiced No Confidence over Confidence by total, 206 people were undecided. ' ‘Pack up’ “It pretty much gives a clear indication that he the University and will shape and dictate an; the (presidential evaluation) team,” Finn rem; evaluation panel is slated to arrive on campus Sl Maycrsohn, who, according to new evaluation procedures, is also scheduled to be contacted by this panel, said, “1 will echo this cpncern to the evaluation team.” The effect of the referendum remains dubious as new presidential evaluation guidelines preclude the use of any “non-attributable" information such as opinion polls or surveys. Finn explained that it is up to the Chancellor and the Board of Trustees to use this information in gauging campus sentiment. When asked whether she thought Ketter should resign, Finn noted, “His resigning is his personal decision If 1 were in that ...

I would pack up my office and go.” The largest turnout was in Main Street’s Squire HaMhopth, followed by Capen Hall on the Academic Spine and EUicott’s Studem'Club. The fewest number of voters cast ballots in Crofts on the Amherst Campus and the booth on the Ridge Lea Campus. General Education given the go ahead by Faculty Senate HEADS OF STATE: Untv«r»lly President Robert L. K.attof (right). Executive Vice Preeldent Albert Somit (center) and Assistant to the President Harry Jackson listened to the discussion Tuesday. Kettcr has pledged support for General Education. by Kathleen McDonough Managing Editor Tuesday, the Faculty Senate approved the General Education Program for Fall 1981 with no major revisions. In what was expected to be a substantive discussion, the Senate plodded through the Program section by section, approving each as it went along. The most sweeping amendment passed by the Senate was to remove at) references to ‘-‘man” and replace them with terminology that would make the program “sexually neutral.” A suggested theme titled “Man and the Transcendent” was cited as an example of sexism in the document. The push to develop a General Education Program here mirrors the mood throughout the country as colleges seek to ensure that their graduates have sampled many disciplines rather than just honing in on a specific major. The Program was presented to the Faculty Senate last Spring and approved after three Senate sessions, pending refinements. The General Education Committee was instructed to flesh out the Program and return with a more detailed report this Fall. Last week, UB President Robert Ketter voiced his support for the General Education Program, noting that it would receive the attention it needs to get off the ground. Ketter said that he “accepts at the outset” the need to continually modify and update the Program. He also noted that the current departmental structure of the University may be at odds with the Program’s design, but suggested that it could bring about beneficial change. Inside: Tests cancelled?— P. 5 / WHAT A RELIEF: General Education Oommlttoo members Thomas Headrick* (lower right) and Potor Haro (middle) are undoubtedly relieved that the General Education Program paaaed unacathed through the Senate Tueedav. The Senate Tuesday breezed through the Program’s first section which details the criteria for including a course in the General Education Program.. The prime criteria are accessibility to all students, the use of math or writing ability to communicate ideas, and the establishment of a context for the course in relation to other areas of knowledge. Vacuous The themes section was generally expected to be the stickiest. Themes were designed to encourage new courses and fostef integrated study, but many had been uncertain about the form they would take. Committee member and Dean of theLaw School Thomas Headrick explained that themes must be relevant, interdisciplinary and of continuing significance.” But the themes were attacked by Psychology Professor Erwin Segal for being what he described “vacuous” and “counter-intellectual.” Segal noted that all courses, not just theme courses, should be relevant to a “pressing concern of the day.” Chairman,, of Sociology Constantine Yeracaris also criticized the theme section, urguing that the six sample themes in the report are not nearly exhaustive. “This is just a sketch,” Chairman of the General Education Committee Peter Hare responded. He emphasized that the six themes detailed in the Program are just to provide a framework to encourage faculty to develop their thenxatic units. Senate Chair Newton Garver reminded Senators that they were only approving the definition of theme units, and not the specific examples. But the Committee developed specifics for “adjusted - Word out on Ketter— P. 7 / General Education Programs.” One criticism of the Program in its earlier stages was that the requirements imposed by General Education were tpp binding on students in fields with rigid course requirements. The Committee promised the Senate last Spring that it would prepare altered programs to ease this pressure on students in Engineering, Management and the Health Sciences. It was estimated that over 50 percent of the students here would fall under these areas or be considered transferred. MFC was given an adjusted program because of its unique University status with most of its students being adults and in school only part-time. The Senate voted, after some discussion, to cut out a sentence saying that MFC students are “particularly likely to be deficient in college skills.” Senator John Mcacham of Psychology noted that it is inappropriate for the General Education Program to label any one sector of the University “deficient.” The sentence was deemed insulting to adult students. The Senate, after hearing Hare detail the obstacles to the program beginning next Fail as originally planned, unanimously voted to implement it in the Fall of 1981. The College Skills Component (math and writing courses for students who do not meet certain standards) remained set for Fall 1980. Senator Robert Berdahl, Chairman of Higher Education, complimented the Committee on its achievement but warned, “You can have the most beautiful theory in the world but you need incentive to get people to work for it.” Prodigal Sun—PP. 9-16 ... / Our friendly Wizard—P. 20 * . �w t SOFT CONTACT LENSES 1 . ... • BAUSCH • LOME A.

The brilliant new by music’s album brightest young star. — by Seth Goodchild Spectrum Staff Writer Buffalo State College is presently revising many of its accounting, financial and operating controls and practices as recommended by the office of the New York State Comptroller. This follows an audit of college and related organization records, announced Joyce Fink, Buffalo State spokesman Ut A study done by the Buffalo College Foundation revealed not only an absence of generally accepted accounting practices, but also a $43,000 cash theft. No legal action, Fink explained, would be undertaken against the unnamed thief who has agreed to make restitution. & The State audit recommended stricter controls over cash receipts and called for the College Alumni Association ‘to establish a new, more complete accounting procedure. The audit also questioned the $32,000 paid to support a NYPIRG budget, because SUNY policy dictates that student mandatory fees are to be used only for programs that benefit the local campus community. In examining the records of the United States Government Service Group (USGS)—the non-profit corporation that disburses money—the audit found that a failure to comply with all SUNY fiscal and accounting procedures led to substantial budget overspending. For the year ending May 30, 1977, the group overspent its budget by almost $600,000. Buffalo State reported that most of the change in College financial practices have been implemented, or will be shortly, with the installation of additional modern computer equipment. In July, Howard Cosell—the golden mouth of ABC sports—made what seemed like an insignificant comment in one of his verbal diatribes, “they cloned Cleveland and got Buffalo.” Well, Buffalo Mayor Jimmy Griffin wasn’t too pleased with the famous broadcaster’s remark. He sent Cosell a strongly written letter, calling the comment “flippant,” and called on the announcer to “accentuate the many positive aspects of this community.” The letter, dated October 10, termed Buffalo a “great” sports city and a it modern progressive community.” Disparaging comparisons with Cleveland or any other city,” he added, “are simply not warranted.

The city will operate the Theater so scheduled performances can be continued. u/IJ tlle Buffalo Theater group, who closed Shea’s last Greene told The be involved in the new management. He added, however, that they will never resume the same role they previously held.

Moratorium on licensing of hew reactor plants by Marc Sherman Environmental Editor The Nuclear Regulatory Commission fNRC) will not issue new nuclear reactor licenses for at least six months, the agency announced recently. The ruling applies to both and planned current construction projects, affecting several near-completed plants in the New York-New Jersey area. The beleaguered commission, whose very existence is in question, also admitted that active reactors in metropolitan areas may never attain feasible evacuation plans —one of NRC’s recent recommendations to ensure public safety. NRC’s decision to extend the current post-Three Mile Island license moratorium was seen by some as a political move to restore the agency’s integrity. Its plan ironically mirrors a bill proposed last spring by Congressman Edward Markey, which NRC Chairman Joseph Hendrie dismissed as “cynical and political garbage.” Markey COMING SOON to U.B. November 27th staff aide David Hoffman told The Spectrum “NRC is a discredited agency,” noting its credibility has suffered because of vascillating positions on the moratorium. Human error NRC’s statements arose at a Congressional hearing in the wake of President Carter’s Three Mile Island Panel report. headed by The panel, Dartmouth College President John Kemeny, criticized the nuclear industry and NRC for inadequate safety procedures. Too much attention is devoted to equipment rather than the competence of technicians, the report observed, resulting in unqualified personnel running complex and potentially dangerous machinery. the of dismay To environmental groups, the Kemeny report did not urge a shutdown of existing plants nor a moratorium on future reactors.

AIF acknowledges “serious deficiencies” in nuclear operations, but insists its postThree Mile Island remedial effort to ensure safety is overlooked by the Kemeny report, the press, and NRC. ‘‘NRC’s licensing freeze effort,” AIF President Carl Walske complained. Noting the nation’s growing dependence on of generation nuclear electricity, Walske added “the nation can ill afford an indefinite hold on nuclear licensing that is subjected to inspired politically discounts this delays,”—sup- orting Markey’s contention th i NRC’s licensing ban reflects political strategy, not concern for safety. .another NRC rule mandates a [ rotective barrier around all nuclear plants, as well as an emergency evacuation plan for the surrounding locality.

He had never expected this. Two black coils are wrapped around his waist and chest. A wire is attached to the fingers on his right hand. A slight tension on his right arm reminds of the attached blood pressure cuff. The wires disappear* into a machine with four needles bouncing back and forth on a moving graph. The well dressed man on the opposite side of the machine begins the questioning No, the person in the chair is not a murder suspect, nor an arsonist, but a college student undergoing a polygraph test as a requirement for a potential job. The truth is, polygraph testing is alive and kicking in the Buffalo area and in other parts of the nation, to the point where the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) has taken an active stand against it. Claiming a “terrible invasion of privacy,” the ACLU has received many complaints regarding the use of the polygraph test as a requirement for . . . Lie detector tests grow in use and controversy employment. In New York, several job applicants were turned down at Tiffany’s Jewelers because they would not submit to a polygraph test. The ACLU reported that there were complaints about test takers being asked to reveal personal information “that you wouldn’t believe.” Only secondary too! Many who have taken it—and there are many—echo that it is an invasion of privacy. In addition, these people are worried that the test is not accurate, and wonder what eventually happens to the information obtained. Even employers who want the exam to be given as management policy, question the practice. One Park Edge Super-Market employer claimed he looks at the results for “super-bad” offenders, like murderers, but “does not like requiring it.” If anything, he uses it as a “secondary tool” in deciding who to hire. But polygraphist “Hammer Securities” and past Director of the New York State Polygraphists Harold Mero looks at the test as an aid to employers, employees and the community. There is "nothing magical why it’s (the polygraph) being used.” The machine is scientiReally tested and there has been constant research and progress in improving the polygraph technique,” he insisted. According to Mero and other polygraphists interviewed by The Spectrum, the questions asked during an examination apply only specifically to the job being sought by the person. As an example, a good polygraphist will not ask “Do you More teachers, more books... but no more tests with new law? by John Lapiana Spectrum Staff Writer Most standardized admission exams may no longer be offered in New York Slate should the “truth in testing” law be implemented in January warne 1 S'ci Education Department (SED) official David R. Bo The controversial law was passed by the Ne« York State legislature and signed by Governor H C arc in July. Known as the Admissions Testing Law, of 1 the bill was vigorously supported by many student consumer organizations, including the Yew York Public Interest Research Group (NYP1RG) Although the law covers many areas, the provision requiring the exam manufacturers to make test questions and correct answers available to the public within 30 days after a student has taken the exam has stirred the most controversy. The law also requires the test manufacturers to publicize any research done in conjunction with these exams and reveal what precautions were taken to assure confidentiality. Although the new law covers all exams taken by college bound students in New York State, it also envelopes all test scores sent to this State’s higher education institutions. “The law is having the greatest impact on tests with low volumes,” Bower told the New York Times. But he also noted that exams with a high volume of participants, such as the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) will still be given to students in this State. Unable to reuse Although most admission tests sponsors have not formally decided whether to pull out of New York State, certain exams are likely to be withdrawn. These tests, which are mostly of thge low volume class, include: the Medical College Admissions Test (MCAT), the Miller Analogies Test (MAT), and those exams that are routinely used in the admissions procedure at professional schools of pharmacy, optometry, and nursing. The sponsors and publishers of the tests have said they will be unable to reuse old test forms because of the disclosure provision in the new law. Despite this claim some sponsors of low volume exams have decided to comply with the law rather than leave the State. Most prominent in this group are the Law School Admissions Test (LSAT) and the Dental Admissions Test (DAT). The DAT sponsors had earlier predicted they would discontinue the test in New York State. Many schools admission procedures have been thrown into a chaotic state. What the requirements might be for schools that use tests which will not be take narcotics?" but rather, “Have you taken narcotics while working at a job?” Mero claimed. Turgeon Brother Restaurants owner Frank Turgeon agreed. He uses the polygraph results to see if applicants are truthful in completing the initial job application, and if they are truly serious about wanting the iob. Perhaps the greatest controversy surrounding polygraph testing involves the polygraphists themselves. The ACLU contends that there is no federal agency to supervise activities of any polygraphist. According to Mero, only 21 states require a polygraphist to be licensed, and New York is not one of them. “Anyone with a polygraph machine can open up a practice,” claimed an ACLU spokesman. Since accurate results and proper conduct during questioning depend on the polygraphist, his role in the test is a crucial one. It is the polygraphist’s responsibility to account for the factors (besides a cover-up of the truth) influencing a person’s response on the test—such as extreme nervousness or affects from medication. “There are people in my own profession who 1 wpuld not take a polygraph test from,” admitted Mero. He added that these polygraphists “could prevent a truthful person from being employed, and vice versa.” But the profession is constantly working to maintain high standards. All accredited polygraphists must have a four year degree in a major relating to some aspect of polygraph administration (criminal justice, physiology) and then complete a program at a polygraph school accredited by the American Polygraph Association. Mero advised that “a person being submitted to a polygraph test should ask for proper credentials” from the person administering the exam. Not all Helds and industries use polygraph testing. Occupations such as accounting or engineering and large industries like chemical companies rely on the basic "rcsumeand-intervicw” technique. "We expect people we hire to be of top caliber,” explained one employer for a “big eight” accounting form. "A polygraph test might turn people off,” added an Allied Chemical spokesperson. “We’re Hrm believers in human nature,” he said. Nonetheless, Mero cited that after having started polygraph testing, many employers have found a significant decrease in thefts, enabling the company to hire more workers. “The employer has rights too,” said Mero. “Why shouldn’t the employer have a right to know if a person has a bad history of car accidents if his job requires him to drive a company vehicle?” A person may even be subjected to the test every year subsequent to his initial employment, claimed a spokesperson for a security company. Turgeon summed up the attitude of many employers who use the polygraph. “If you don’t want to take the polygraph test, then look elsewhere.” OLD RED MILL INN available next year is “anybody’s guess,” one admissions official said. “I suppose some schools will simply drop the use of test scores and rely on other kinds of information,” Bower predicted. “But then colleges say they never rely only on tes, scores in making their decisions anyway. For students with good grades, this will probabaly be a) •ould cause serious problems Miter The new law has steered tiie bill’s proponents into a collision course with some of the most formidable resting evaporations in the nation, NYPIRG has charged the tesiing industry—particulary the Educational Testing Service (ETS> and the College Entrance Examination Board (CEEB)—with trying to "intimidate the State to back off.’’ NVPIRG asserts that testing companies have “threatened New Yorkers with reduced test dates for handicapped students and those who must test on Sundays for religious reasons.” The statewide consumer advocacy organization also doubts the testing company’s claim that examination' fees must be raised. Although it may increase ETS’s cost for question development by $1 million, NYPIRG points out that the cost amounts to less than one-third of the profit ETS obtained on the SATs. Thus NYPIRG notes that there is “no justification” for a proposed fee increase by the testing institutions. Increases of up to $5 in the fee have been forecasted. The sponsors of some examinations have argued that the nature of their test’s subject matter limits the number of relevant questions that could be developed. NYPIRG however, contends that the law does not create this problem and points to groups of noted test experts who have agreed with them. A special session of the State Senate Higher Education Committee will be convened later this month to review the testing corporation claims. State Senator Kennith LaVelle, leader of the committee and the law’s principal sponsor, believes the threats of the testing industry arc “part of their national strategy of diluting the disclosure provision and making it as hard as possible to implement this law.” The committee may make certain amendments to the law before it goes into effect. It is possible some low volume exams such as achievement tests will become exempt from the legislation. Many of these small tests were not excluded because, LaVelle explained, “they never came and told us about their problems” Compounding the testing industry’s quandary is a move in Congress to create federal legislation based on the New York State law. Whether the forecasts of ETS and CEEB doom will materialize remains to be examined. SAT 8326 MAIN ST. near ransit Rd.)

In this atmosphere of competitiveness, confidence is nutured in some, anxiety in others, but most feel a decision must be made. It is time for both undergraduate seniors and graduate students to confront the real world. “Of course I’m apprehensive about finding a job related to my major,” admitted Phil Crutzman, Sociology and English major, “but I think its a common feeling.” “1 came to school with a career in mind, and I expect to leave with something along those guildeines,” related Jim Twick, senior in Civil Engineering. “My paranoia now centers around grades and graduating.” The college bound student these days is more career oriented than his more radical brothers and sisters of the sixties, noted Associate Director of Advisement Dorothy Wynne. The swing towards the professional fields may be from lessons learned when older brother is seen driving a cab. “Earlier the level of competency felt by the student may have been greater. He or she felt they could major in English or Sociology, get good grades and a subsequent job. Now, this attitude has dwindled,” according to Wynnes The economy may have a definite affect on choice of major.

Last year’s success could be attributed in part to the newness of the Wine Cellar, added. Modica The Wine Cellar was established last year to provide Governors residents with a nearby bar. Last year entertainment at the Cellar was directed by the Governors Planning Committee, consisting of a small group of Resident Advisors (RA’s) in Governors who collected approximately five dollars from residents to raise funds for entertainment. Mary Schiesser, a member of the now disbanded Committee, said one reason sales are down is that on w eekends students want to go out —that does not mean walking down a few flights of stairs to the small Last year’s planning committee scheduled activities such as a wine tasting party, halloween party, small jazz groups, a foosball tournamen solo guitarists; and even a few bands whic proved to be successful. This year though, mon will only be collected for each individual activit “Lack of funds is always a problem in providing entertainment,” said Schiesser. Plans are not being made to provide activities and entertainment similar to last year but the new planning group is just getting started said Schiesser. A juke box, color television, a foosball table help to liven up the atmosphers in the bar, which holds approximately 150 people.

Chosts gives us a good. ■ o> opportunity to answer that question, The play begins on the eve preceding m c the opening of a worthwhile and upright social mission —a home for orphans. Before the sun rises on the noble building, however, the immoral lives of those involved with the project seem to have destroyed even the orphanage Mrs. Alving, the widow of Captain Alving in whose honor the orphanage is to be named, is the vortex about which the lives of those in the play swirl before they are drawn'down beneath the surface of proper social conventions. Not that Mrs. Alving is an identifiably evil figure like a Bette Davis All she has done is to try to reconcile the social ethics of Norwegian society with her own moral ones. In this supreme court of self, she faces the greatest charge: that of living and perpetrating a lie, That her son Oswald (William Conta) is suffering a terminal illness, and that her female servant's schemes for a better station in life are shattered seem to spiral from Mrs. Alving's decision to abandon personal ethics for social ones. There can be no compromise between the two without repercussions, Ibsen presents. v Riddled with laughter Mrs. Alving (Anna Kay France) and Oswald (William Conta) work the stage well together. Although last Saturday's performance was riddled with inappropriate laughter from the audience in parts, Mrs. France attributed it to peculiar structure of Ibsen works. "There are funny lines in the production, but the (mappropriate) laughtef hasn!t changed the approach of the cast," she said. The direction seemed to falter on the important point of staging. From the right tier of seats, most of the intimate'action in the exchanges between characters was but backs to the audience in that section ® Iceberg quality Ghosts, it has been said, is about venereal disease—primarily because that is what we are lead to believe Mrs. Alving's son suffers from physically. The play is not about disease, at least not the physical variety. The iceberg quality to Ibsen is apparent here —the bulk, the thrust of the play Ires beneath the surface As the director Ward Williamson points Cantor lor Theatre Research's ‘Qhosts’ Pastor Menders blushes at Mrs. Atvlng's forthrightness out to the audience, C hosts has "something unyielding about it; the performers and the audience are given very few options." There are enough options, however, to reflect the sensitivities of both the cast and the director. Contrasts abound in the actors' and actresses' approaches. For example. Pastor Manders, the rigid backbone of society's mores who winds up pandering to public image rather than to his fellow man and to the probity of his calling, is delicately shaded by Richard Wesp. Pillar of society Although he is standard height, by slightly rounding shoulders, along with his long black frock coat, he seems to be taller than he actually is. This illusion of height (tall persons tend to stoop slightly) only adds to the appearance of Pastor Manders as one of those thin ascetic types who are to serve as a pillar in the lives of men upon this earth. However, before the play's end he has been tested and found wanting by his own standards of behavior. He Ijas all the insight of a hypocrite. Engstrand, a clubfoot laborer, is a rogue worthy of Shakespeare, as one scholar noted Paul Kawalec stumps on the club foot for all the sympathy it can muster. He is a paragon of false bonhomie. Whereas most clubfotted people would try to minimize the appearance of their malformity, Engstrand exaggerates it. Although his actions are not in line for a clubfooted person, it is appropriate for the character. Between Manders and Engstrand, therefore, there is an extreme difference to portrayal —yet they both work One character that I have difficulty with, however, is Regina (Mary )o Lipinczyck) As the aspiring daughter of Engstrand, she is almost as devious as her Stranger —Tom Buchanan v Gives a song fo eager fans c . .

For a woman as beautiful as she is, her voice is overpowering. I don't mean that her style resembles Ethel Merman's, but that she has the capability to belt out some soulful vocals. Angel of the Night, the latest release from this Dave Grusin/Larry Rosen produced jazz vocalist, contains some sparkling moments. Ms Bofill possesses an extremelyversatile voice, spanning the jazz, disco and soul genres. Some of the tunes are funky, and she releases the power portion of her vocal range. Other cuts, mellow jazz and quiet soul, elicit a softly subtle and remarkably sweet tonal quality Her ability to rapidly change from passage to passage enables her to adapt to almost any musical form (except maybe country, and I wouldn't put this past her). Eddie Daniels contributes sweet saxophone solos on two cuts, and Eric Gale picks out somfe soulfully sexy guitar licks on "Love to Last." Ralph MacDonald's Roy, a handsome looking couple, utilize good vocals and occasionally superb arrangements to enhance their otherwise common sound. I'd pick this album, to play at a disco, but I have no say ip disco playlisting. The title tupe is as good as any current discodance hit, and Cindy's soulful voice gives it a great boost. Fine sound production, Cindy's & Roy's above average vocals, and some interesting compositions all help to motivate dancin' feet. They also get my vote for most beautiful couple. — Doug Alpern Beckmeier Brothers, Beckmeier Brothers Casablanca A southern-type rock entry. I thought the rush for southern rock imitations was over. Oh well. The Beckmeier Brothers (all two of them) write the music, play guitar and bass, and contribute lead vocals. The lyrics are less than sharp, the music is lackluster, and the raspy vocals drag down an already dying sound. If enough copies of this disc were printed, it'll end up in cutout bins very shortly. If not, then this band will fade into obscurity I've already engaged my mental eraser. — percussion that sends the electrical impulses down the motor neurons to the far reaches of your extremities. A foot begins to tap, then the knees give way to a bouncing beat, and finally the fists pound aimlessly into space. Perhaps the only flaw to the album is the consistency towards one style of play. There is very little change in either the conceptual meaning or the network of sound that creates the mood. No soft, laid back slots in which the daydream can appear. It is all steady, hard southern rock. The band should have set at least one keyed down track in order to take listeners through a series of mood changes. The end result being an appreciation of the hard hitting impact southern rock possesses. "Hey whiskey man, you're running as hard as you can, You drink your whiskey too much mpre than you can stand. You have your highs, you have your lows. Nobody knows which way you go." Overall a fine "rock-on album." Scott Swick — Doug Alpern Molly Hatchet, Flirtin' With Disaster (Epic) When I first heard Molly Hatchet over the FM airwaves, I thought oh shit, a parroting revival of Lynyrd Skynrd. Someone wants to erase the memories of perhaps the best rockin band the south has produced. A replacement to satisfy the instinctual "south" that is in each of us) But not so Molly Hatchet has created a fine portrayal of the deep south lifestyle unfamiliar to most northerners. Flirtin' with Diaster is a brawling, go for it, country bar room, fight till you die, analogy of the deep south. From the time you first cleanse your throat with moonshine to where your pappy decides you're old enough to handle the painted ladies. Molly Hatchet plays to the needs of us all to release ourselves, usually through the drink, where the foot starts stompin, the alcohol flows a little easier, and the mouth comes alive fearing no one To the point where you feel good! The point to which you're flirtin with disaster. Because hidden somewhere, within this high-spirited fighting music is a lesson to be learned. A lesson that can only be ta'ught by experiencing the nomadic lifestyle that Molly Hatchet is relaying through this album. Worries are primarily where you're going to find your next bottle of beer, or how to find some action in the town of your arrival. The good times of life, the bad, and finally the realization that you're nothing more than a waste product and going nowhere fast A personal learning. Where as the lyrics activate your mind to these concealed urges, the music is responsible for the motions. Yes, it is the crisp biting guitar riffs and the rhythmical - • percussion and Dave Grusin'.s always fine keyboards help fill out the background music.

The chance meeting of two cars at the intersection of Carlos Avenue and Vista Del Mar caused the death of a Californian policeman, the longest trial in the history of California, and one more chance for our society to prove itself unjust: The movie, based on the best seller by the same name, is factual enough to pose as a documentary yet emotional enough to save it from being stereotyped as such.

Focus on guilt Franklyn Seales as Jimmy Lee Smith, Greg's partner, and Ronny Cox as Officer Pierce Brooks play their roles with equal conviction. Character development is restrained to suit Wambaugh's strict adherence to what actually occurred.

Like the book, uncovering the mental stres of being intangled in an indifferent legal system is the point. Guilt is the film's main focus Karl Hettinger (John Savage), after surviving the night in the onion fields, barely survives the aftermath of the ordeal. He is criticized by his administration, labelled a coward for surrendering his gun during an impossible situation. He is unjustly blamed for not doing enough. Guilt ridden, he loses hold of his emotional balance and of his job. As a result, he suffers more guilt over his failure as a provider for his family.

Cocola Let me destroy a couple of rumors concerning the mqyie "Yanks," This film is not the autobiography of Reggie Jackson, nor is.it "another one of those war movies." "Yanks" is a love story —a multiple love story, and a damn good one. Besides being the name for overpaid ball players in pinstripes, Yanks Vvas the nickname given to American troops landing in England in 1942 Before these troops actually went to battle, many of them had time to encounter those "prissy English girls."“We follow the relationships of three American Cl's with three British women. Danny and Mollie (Chick Vennera and Wendy Morgan) are a nice couple. She's a bus conducter who meets her lover on the bus. Their relationship is similar to Touchstone's and Audrey's in Shakespeare's "As You Like It," the twasimply offer doses of comic relief. . Mature women Helen and John (Vanessa Redgrave and William Devane) are a step above the previous couple. Helen is a Red Cross Volunteer who stoically handles the mores of the British upper middle class. She willingly accepts John, an American serviceman, into her life John helps her cope with her loneliness, and more importantly, helps her question her surroundings. However, we have a mature love story, and Helen is a mature woman. She knows her husband is returning soon from the war, so she must prepare herself for the inevitable return to her previous life as a housewife and mother. She must measure the goodness and disadvantages of the world she knows so well against the fantasy world offered by John She realizes that their fantasy cannot last forever Eager to explore The most sensitive relationship grows between Matt and Jean (Richard Cere and Lisa Eichhorn). Matt i,s an army cook, Jean the daughter of a passive father and domineering mother. Like John, Matt offers an outlet, a chance to "go to New York and catch a Broadway play."

They began playing songs longer, wierder, and louder than people bad ever heard played before. Soon the Warlocks had driven out most of the club's regular clientele and all that remained were the future Dead Heads of America. formed a band called The Warlocks. The band Having been denied entry, a squad of cops 'lacking a search warrant knocked down the door of 710 Ashbury Street. Inside the house were Pig Pen (Ron McKernan) and Bob Weir (members of the Grateful Dead), three of the band's managers, and six friends. The eleven members of the Grateful Dead family spent six hours in jail before meeting the bail set as a result of the drug charges brought against them. The bust was made on October 1, .1972—six years after The Dead hid moved into the Haight-Ashbury section of San Francisco. During that time, the Grateful Dead had become somewhat of an institution—in a community where everybody looked like a rock star. Perhaps the bust was just a warning aimed at the youth of America But to me, it was much more than that. It was a declaration. Society was laying down the law —and it was using the San Francisco Police Department as its mouthpiece The message was clear, the Sixties were gone and society was no longer going to tolerate the counterculture that had grown out of them. Pig Pen The band then discovered that the name 'Warlocks' just didn't fit anymore. Garcia explained to Rolling Stone magazine how the band came up with their new name. "One day we were all over at Phil's house, smoking DMT. He had a big Oxford dictionary, opened it, and there was 'grateful dead' those words juxtaposed. It was one of those moments, y'know, like everything else on the page went blank, diffuse, just sort of oozed away, and there was GRATEFUL DEAD, big black letters edged all around in gold, man, blasting out at me, such a stunning combination So I said how about Grateful Dead? and that was it." It is now 1979 land the Grateful Dead are still making music. They've been though a lot together. Back in 1967 they played the Monterey Pop Festival with the likes of The Who, Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, and many of the other great bands of the Sixties They also performed at the Trips Festival and at Woodstock. In 1973 The Dead survived the death of one of its founding members, Ron McKernan (Pig Pen). His untimely death brought the Grateful Dead into a new era. Their next album Wake of the Flood featured a new sound. The harmonies were still there and Garcia's vocals were still crisp and.clear—but the music was slower and more methodical, almost depressing. Warlocks The drug bust drove The Dead out of Haight-Ashbury and into the "real world But they continued to play their music in an attempt to make the world a better place to live ip. As Jerry Garcia (alias Captain Trips), the spiritual leader of the Grateful Dead said in an interview with Rolling Stone magazine, "We are trying to make things groovier for everybody so more people can feel better more often, to advance the trip, to get higher, however you want to say it. But vye're musicians and there's just no way to put that idea ‘save the world' into music, you can only be that idea ... and hope maybe others '■ follow." Remarkably, four members of the current Grateful Dead have been playing together for fourteen years. Back in 1965 Jerry Garcia (lead), Bob Weir (rhythm), Pig Pen, Phil Lesh (bass), and Bill Kreutzmann (who " New producer During the next two years the Grateful Dead released two more albums —Mars Hotel (1974) and Blues for Allah (1975). They continued to play the style of music developed on the Wake of the Flood album —but much of the depression in the music was gone. The influence of Pig Pen's death on the music of The Dead seems to have diminished with time Meanwhile, the influence of Keyboardist Keith Codchaux, and his wife Donna, seems to have grown. . By 1976 the Grateful Dead were ready for something new "The old Dead trip was getting to be a burden so we sacked it and went on to new projects We're having fun again," Garcia told the Rolling Stone For the first time since the band's inception, the Grateful Dead hired an outside record producer Keith Olsen. As a result, Terrapin Station exhibited an entirely new sound fo; The Dead. In the past, drums had been mixed into Grateful Dead albums at very low volumes. Olsen raised the sound level of the drums up to the point where Led Zeppelin mixes John Bonham (their drummer). This freed Garcia to play more melody lines instead of filler material. "Disco Dead" The result has been called "Disco Dead" since the music is quite danceable. The Dead continued with this new trend in music on their latest album Shakedown Streets. Because of the changing style of their music, the Grateful Dead may have lost some of their old fans. And the concert crowds seem to be getting younger. At any rate, Disco Dead has created a nevy, younger audience of Dead fans that likes what it hears. Despite the changes —there is still nothing else like a Grateful Dead concert. When The Dead tour, their fans follow. Dead Heads, as they preferred to be called, have been known to travel across the country, just to hear the band perform. Tonight the Grateful Dead will play the Memorial Auditorium downtown Sitting in the audience, will be the youth of three dedades—the Sixties, the Seventies, and now the Eighties.

However, too often we get novelty instead of innovation New Wave music can be raw and boring Disco can be sophisticated and boring. Four releases from Casablanca run the risk of the latter The worst first, )oel Diamond on his album The loel Diamond Experience, incorporates harmonica on his disc This may be a concession to the writing on the industry's wall that says if disco is gonna stay around, it will have to change to violate the formula sound it is accused of having New derivants of disco, such as rock disco and country disco, are appearing in the most progressive clubs as they strive to satisfy the shifting desires of their clientele loet Diamond Experience might have capitalized on this shifting profile of disco but instead it went with harmonica as a novelty rather than an innovation In an industry where the ability to read the pulse of the buying public is its raison d' etre, this recent release is a blunder Blue memory From country, we segue to classics The Westside Strutters' album C ershwin 79 comes from the same vein of disco reworks as the seminal disco version of "I Love Lucy." Again the music dwells on novelty instead of innovation The thing that made I Love Lucy work is that the original was light and the treatment of it paralleled the original It's not the comparison that does it in but as a piece of disco production, it does itself in. The memory of an original such as "Rhapsody in Blue" is a slap in the face after the contestant was down We are working our way out oT the cellar. The Brooklyn Dreams, backup to Donna Summer, has come out with an album entitled loy Ride The sweet exuberance of the boys, Joe, Eddie and Bruce is the best thing this album has going for it. "Hot Loving" and "For the Love of Music" could get you off your ass, but by the end of the album, you're sitting back down Despite the cameo appearance of Donna Summer on "Too Much for the Lady," the album succumbs to overproduction The Brooklyn Dreams have got their foot in the door, an audience's ear However, if they are going to make it as an independent group, they'll have to stop sounding like a backup band that got some time in the studio. They got the energy —now they need the vision, the sound. No omen The top of the bottom looms. Cameo's album Secret Omen gives us more of what we come to expect from Cameo If you like Cameo, you'll like this album For someone who's looking for something more, growth perhaps, Cameo's latest release might disappoint. For one Secret Omen fights against the stubbornest fault of disco albums —the comparison to actual disco deejay play The quality that makes the disco experience transcendent is an aural product that rises and falls and rises again throughout the evening in both instrumentation and tempo All too often the instrumentation on an album will be indifferently similar throughout an album Cameo courts that fault. The Live at Studio 54 album is a recognition that too homogenous a blend threatens disco albums with premature death. Secret Omen isn't Britain’* Interview Q: Will it work live? Interview preview Awash in 'big ones' You'd think that anyone who toured with Peter Gabriel would sound or obnoxiously over-confident (i.e., Jules or the Polar Bears, Richard Lloyd from Television) But Interview, the two year-old band from Bath, England, take whatever Genesis influence they have, combine it with the Beatles' smooth harmony to sound like Graham Parker imitating Paul McCartney. Yeah, right, Interview's first record, Big Oceans, is eclectic but the different styles they build on are really from the same progression The Beatles, Genesis, and even Parker have a cloying quality making any real attempt at anger as pure emotion seem like theatrics about losing a love I'm betting Interview's lyricist/vocalist Jeff Starrs knows this so he tries to stay off the stark anger subject At least, he tries to offer other solutions to anger brimming with lost love He compromises ("You Didn't Have To Lie To Me"): he's apathetic ("St. Jean's Wire"); he's wishing for something better ("Here Come The Cavalry"), Without preaching silly love songs or mooning about angry breakups per se. Big Oceans is illumined by wistful talk of Human Power conquering Nature's Power in a pop culture. In "Shipyards," a story of a man deafened by the banging din of love and shipbuilding, the narrator looks to the ocean for solace. You know; you can throw your love into the sea, drown the pain, keep the memory, and walk across the water There's irony too, although it sometimes looks like just another side of an argument. In "Academies To Anger," churches fall in "retribution" and rise in "revolution" while love keeps on going Starrs be indifferent to all hassles, but then wants to stop thinking about love which causes as much retribution and revolution Interview's music and arrangements are as full of ideas, but the record isn't overproduced Pete Allerhand's guitar playing is better than Brinsley Schwarz' live solos and may be as easy and moving as Knopfler's picking for Dire Straits. When Starrs sings about "St. Jean's Wires," "sparking" and "shining," Allerhand beats him and then meets him with riffs —riffs which prove Allerhand is feeling Starr's message On "Here Come The Cavalry," Starr wants time to pass faster so he can get out of the mess he's in Allerhand and bassist Phil Crowther supply the needed quickness. Yet the harmonies purposely slow down the song, and the back-vocals drag out the word "time." The Cavalry and faith only matter if you've waited long enough for them The only thing you wonder about with Interview is whether they could be as intriguing live They should be superb Except if Starrs is so thoughtful abput argument as irony replacing anger and man fighting man and nature, can the band be too much like actors onstage?

Harold Goldberg �Freshman chemistry course runneth over—as usual by Ilene Browning Spectrum Staff Writer cares about students and there are smaller classes. Although the material is harder, it is easier to get a good grade,” he explained. w e try to pass everybody,” Allendoerfer said. “This may not be true in 101 Some exams from 102 last year averaged in the 30’s and 40’s—nobody learned. The tests were not useful as accurate Allendoerfer) Despite rising University attrition rates, the Chemistry Department continues to present what many feel is a grueling General Chemistry 101 class to unsuspecting freshmen. 1400 student originally registered in Chemistry 101, according to Associate Chemistry Professor Arthur Mattern. Next semester, as demonstrated in the past, approximately 950-1000 will return to complete 102. But 'he Department does not, Associate Professor Orville Beachley explained, use set percentages to fail a specific number of students. ‘‘There is no intention whatsoever to ‘weed out’ students” from the 101 cburse, he added. “That’s a crock of shit,” exclaimed College of Mathematical Sciences (CMS) tutor Craig Selinger, “101 is specifically designed to ‘weed out’ engineering students.” Fixed percentages are used to determine grades, he contended, because the Department must pare down the numbers of students. The average on the first departmentalized 102 test of this semester was 61, with a low of four. Last year’s 102 final exam, consistent with those in previous years, had an average of 100-110 Out of 200 points, with lows of 15 and 20 not uncommon. Smart of not Despite these * apparently low grades, Mattern (who teaches 102) said the exams ate easier now than they were 15 years ago. “We have deliverately tried to make them easier,” he said. CMS tutor Sandra Meade disagrees. “1 don’t think 1 learned any more because the exams were difficult,” she said. The exams don't evaluate who is smart and who is not, she explained, “they just weed people out.” CMS tutor Rene Alvarez believes that the Chemistry Department “can’t give exams that everyone will score high on,” and maintain its high reputation. Honors Freshman Chemistry 103—which students can take instead of 101—is a much better course according to Selinger. “The professor (Robert *‘ ( rankings.” Can’t read Learning can also be inhibited by poor Teaching Assistants (TAS) Alvarez noted. Alvarez has found that TAs don’t care, can’t speak English, and don’t go over problems. Two-time Chemistry 101 student Joe Merola thinks the TAs are more important than the lecturer and now well you do in the class “depends on how much the TA puts out.” Professors at SUNY Fredonia have found several deficiencies in the text, which is used by both schools. Mattern believes that the problems faced by students of chemistry stem from their inability to handle math and their difficulty with words. “It has been getting to the point where students can’t read anymore,” he said. Lack of motivation is also deterrent to learning, he added. Another contributing factor to students’ difficulties is poor preparation and background from high school. Mattern said that ten percent of his students never had chemistry before. Beachley has found that for many of those who had taken the class, it was not taught £ I. J correctly. CMS tutors advise those aspiring to complete General Chemistry to do all of the problems in each chapter of the text and devote at least ten hours each week to studying. It is also possible for studncts to audit the class and repeal it the following semester. “Most students should finish 101 and see how they do in comparison to the rest of the class,” according to Meade. She advises them to change their majors if they really don’t like chemistry at all. “But,” she added, “engineering students don’t have to go for chemical engineering and won’t ever have to see chemistry again—so they might as well stick it out.” Supply and demand New sections of popular communication course opened This year, as has been the case in the past, close to 500 students were closed out of Interpersonal Communication 101. This semester, however, eight new sections of the course were opened to meet with demand. Co-Director of the Communications Department Paul Kowalewski explained, “the eight new sections were opened because the student community needs the class. So we opened the new sections as a favor to the students.” Communications Teaching Assistant (TA) David Habbel added, “they were opened as a favor but were also opened to show the administration that students are interested in the class as much as they are interested in the other Social Science classes.” This display of student interest, Habbel hopes, will “draw more money to the Department by showing the need for it.” The number of Interpersonal SPeeon Chinese 9|nst 3118 Main St.-837-6776 COMBINATION PLATE SPECIALS reduced from 18 to 9 a few years Communication classes Communication classes is the standard around the country.” ago. According to the Communication Department’s Director of Graduate Studies C.R. Petrie, Vice President of Academic Affairs Ronald Bunn decided that one course is all a TA could teach. After Bunn’s decision the number of Interpersonal Communication classes was reduced, because up until then each TA taught two courses. Petrie added “teaching two Interpersonal Valuable content Next semester TA’s teaching two classes will go back to just one, because, as Kowalewski noted, “the Department feels that teaching two classes is too much of a burden for the TAs.” Habbel explained that the course is in great demand for many reasons.

Ketter has RfcRhfl to the helm of l still the dream of ant long-term educ. administrative style nightmare. SSf’-'SBg .-■*> And If Robert Ketter is unwilling to leave, then he aliinrtd he removed. We have witnessed millions of doUars throw* into ah Amherst swamp that—despite his “valiant” efforts— has resulted in a haftbuilt, dysfunctional campus. And we still ride the buses. He has surrounded himself with buddy-buddy administrators who have failed to devise a creative, innovative Academic Plan or a direction in which we should head. And our student attrition rate soars. Top quality faculty have lunged at opportunities to go elsewhere or have slowly formed another administrative layer—the only place they can go—shoving aside their teaching and scholarship responsibilities. And we still have a high faculty salary structure. Students are considered numbers, virtually ignored by the Ketter administration or stepped on whenever the President gets the opportunity. Cavages is gone, but the Record Co-op still is open only a few hours each week because of the President’s inventory restrictions. Our libraries cannot keep up with the growing number of publications, or even last year’s purchases. The shelves are not filled; the bookstore is no better; and the notion of well-read, up-todate intellectuals in a University is out on loan. Try getting your book at the Buffalo Public Library. Our programs' accreditions have been callously jeopardized, left to walk the poor facility gangplank. And their ship is sinking. Not because this University lacks top quality teachers—or students—but because our pull in Albany is almost laughable. And why? The Administration has a new person every other week. Someone else decides it’s useless to work with Ketter because in 10 years under his reign, what has been accomplished? Are we a community? Do students and faculty learn from and teach each other? Does the University have a goal beyond subsistence or slow death. How have we helped Buffalo? Is there communication? I $ everyone involved in decision-making? Two major documents provide some of the answers. “by a Faculty Senate Ad Hoc Committee on An internal Administrative nEvaluation stated in April 1977, when the Office of Most lower-level and the President w a)|‘located in Hayes Hall: some middle-level iadministrators, sooner or later in our interviews expressed concern about the personalized basis (‘capricious’ was the word most often used) for decision making in Hayes Hall... In juxtaposition with their comments on mistrust, several of our lower-level admirit&trator interviewees expressed concern about the insularity of Hayes Hajl. One referred to the ‘vast gulf that separates the higher administration and the faculty’; another merely stated that there is ‘too great a separation of teaching and administrative functions.’ An external evaluation committee reviewing the Mathematical In Buffalo, the normal Sciences found in November 1977; university environment is unfortunately not preserved. There is Httte sense of loyalty to the university or of belonging to a community of scholarship; there is little pride in one’s work; there is no spirit of selflessness ... the unsettled conditions were Compounded by appointing administrative officers who, thdmselves, were insecure, buffeted by the current budget uncertainties, lacking in wisdom and self-confidence, and generally devoid of the leadership qualities that are essential in a thriving intellectual environment." And now, University voters have voiced their lack of support—No Confidence—in Ketter by over a 3:1 ratio. We have waited patiently, jpdgdd responsibly, evaluated the, facts. Robert L. Ketter’s presidency has turned this University from a dream into a nightmare. He must be replaced. The time has come. i S fa the Editor M* regards to your editorial concerning President Ketter last week, I must admit that, up to now, I have been among those not particularly interested in the issues of University ai But after reading your editorial last Friday, I wouldn't blame Mr. Ketter for wanting to shut off students like you (although I don’t believe that that is his general intention). I can see, unlike you, that Mr. Ketter has a job to do and is doing it by the rules. And In fact, I agree with many of the decisions he has made. For instance, had I attended U. B. back in 1975-'76, I’d have been glad to know that my student fees, thanks to Mr. Ketter, would not be used to support NYPIRG, a group which has known ties to the American Communist Party. (These ties, of course, are intentionally never written about in The Spectrum.) Get your facts straight on the Cavage suit. The longand-short of the suit is whether or not state property should be used for private sales of goods. It Is the passage of time, and not Mr. Ketter, which has shown that the "advances" of the sixties wees not always In the students best interests (the defunct four course load was proof of tljat). While Keller's decisions on the student pharmacy and Group Legal Services may not have been popular ones, I can understand that, given the rules, perhaps ' they had to be made. Lastly, I couldn’t agree more with his reasoning for blocking the allocation for sending students to the Attica rally (be It as it may that It might have been for a good cause). Certainly Mr. Ketter has made some erroneous decisions. Find me someone else never who does—good luck! And if you do find someone, I hope that he/she will fight as hard as Ketter has for more construction funds, does something beneficial like bringing back U. B. football (Ketter did), and etc., etc. In summary, Ketter may not be popular, but he is doing his job. As such, I support his retention. Henry E.

There in the basement of the chemistry and biochemistry building, scientificallymlnded whizzes trade formulas as long as your arm and giggle over impetuous acid solutions. In the midst of all this impressive flapping, I like to spend my time trying to understand whether William Carlos Williams was just pulling my leg with his theory about the "variable foot." Much as I try, I just can’t “fit in.” I’ve never even worn a white lab jacket. And when I leave my poetry and start taking a crack at my “second derivatives of randomly distributed vectors” they surely make note of my pathetic weeping and the prodigious pile of scrap-sheet basketballs which are scattered about the base of the garbage can. Why this guilt? Because a very targe reason why I’m studying this stuff is so I’l be an attractive MBA applicant one day, not for any Intrinsic pleasure of understandingtechnology’s theoretical bases. But the way many middle level Math and technical courses are taught at this and other universities make attaining this pleasure nearly impossible anyway. Quite often, a theorem or physical law will be presented without proof to the student’s inquiring mind; this is often necessary to emphasize the scope of material the student will have to deal with at the expense of its depth. The ability to manipulate formulas which your predecessors figured out for you is more important than how they somehow sprang from the universe’s chaos. This expedience certainly makes an unnerving amount of sense. Students learn what our economy wants them to know (quickly) so they graduate (hopefully quickly) and get a swell job (quickly).

This movement already has some roitfts from which to sprout. UB’s Clifford Furnas College, irt recent semesters plighted by lack of interest#! Its.academic offerings, has a charter dedicated to making Humanities and Sciences intelligible to each other. And more and more writers especially Dav|d Ignatow and many Japanese Buddhists, are freely linking the two worlds in their poetry. This also makes sense: one humanity came up with both languages. Who knows, maybe the Acheson cafeteria will germinate into the cultural center of the next generation. Watch for it. ' *-* �feedback 5 i Concentrate on evaluation Professors Massey, Segal, Shechner, and Schneider deserve a .response. Since they are all sponsors defenders of the petition they refer to, and since the petition follows some of the same lines as the editorial to which I took exception (I did not know of the petition when I wrote previously), I had best begin with ten comments on that flimsy and Irresponsible document. 1. The petition is flawed by a fatal ambiguity: it speaks of “procedures” and thereby hopelessly confused theory (the Trustee Guidelines for the Review of Presidents and other Trustee policy actions) and practice (the actual process). The first paragraph of the petition is drawn from Trustee policies and the second paragraph —still talking about the same ‘‘procedures" —concerns what will actually or predictably happen. The latter is directly inferred from the former—the same form of inference as when Soviets claim that the Soviet Constitution makes it impossible for violations of human rights to occur in the USSR. Theory and practice differ. The Guidelines have no more power than the Soviet Constitution to determine events. The Guidelines say that a schedule for the site visit shall be arranged in advance, but that Is not happening; the Guidelines rule out surveys, but that is happening. Both the theory and the practice are flawed, but the flaws are different and they must be distinguished if they are to be criticized intelligently. 2. .'■» We now discover that there Is to be no proems loading to reappointement... "—But simply: ■them is no reappointment. The rhetoric here is shrill and cheap. (Technically there is a fallacy of complex queeUML) Since there is no reappointment to lead to, and since there is a review process anyway, It is difficult to see any serious issue in these ringing words. ' . The President's term is continuous, without .“—Come now, my learned colleagues, you can't be serious. Everything human is finite. Auch das Schoene muss sterben, as Schiller put it. There are all sorts of limits which President Ketter cannot escape. As for the five-year terms, they never were much of a limit: not a single SUNY president who was interested in continuing has failed to be renewed at the end of five 3. limit .. .. years—ever not subject to systematic and regular scrutiny ’’—This is just false. The Guidelines provide for a review every five years. 5. who are enjoined from receiving any systematic survey ..Again false. The elected 4, “ . presiding officers are enjoined from basing their submissions In whole or in part on such surveys. This is,-I agree, an arrogant affront, with which I have complied so as not to jeopardize the input of the many colleagues with whom I have spoken. The Evaluation Team, however, is not enjoined from receiving or considering such surveys. 6. ",.. or unattrlbuted opinions .. ."—Once more false. The Guidelines say that input must ha attributable, not that ft must be attributed. Thp Guidelines also say that the principle of confidentiality applies, and without the distinction between attributable and attributed it is difficult to see how it would have any application 7 would substitute for a full-scale assessment —Where was this full-scale assessment? Certainly not under the old Guidelines. 8. a nominal procedure with built-in constraints ’—18 months ago the Senate appointed a committee to study the guidelines for presidential evaluation and to make recommendations for faculty input. That committee, chaired by Professor Hyman and including as members two sponsors of the current petition, recommended that there be both a series of small meetings around campus and also a survey. The recommendations were approved by the Senate, with no om suggesting that the procedures were nominal. Exactly that recommended combination of procedures Is now being implemented—and some of its authors join 4n catting it "nominal”. 9. "... which can predictably discover notbipf $hat isn’t ‘immediatety obvious or superficial cannot reasonably be assessed by such a procedure fcfaing the verdict before the tittf. : |w conscious ah hapleg to assure, against the eriMs perhaps, ffwft Ihe lacuHy input is neither nomiadl'Mk superliciat. t may weli tail. But this a priori conclusion that i must fail is a bit much. Even if none of the sponsors of the petition were inclined to give the review procedures a fair chance, I would have hoped that there might have been an empiricist or two among them who would have liked to see some evidence before concluding what the outcome must be like. 16. Professor Hyman's Committee was justifiably exasperated by the last-minute’s changes in the guidelines for this fall's presidential evaluation. The Committee therefore proposed appropriate resolutions to the Senate, which overwhelmingly endorsed the protests and sent them on to the SUNY Senate, which also endorsed them. These .resolutions were not only free from error and fallacy and based on careful study of the documents, they were also the democratic expression of the faculty. What does this selfappointed group of venerable colleagues have in mind when they substitute their hasty, fallacious, ill“ " focussed words for those of the Senate? Apart from ill-advised and highly vulnerable, their actioh seams an arrogant affront to the Senate and to Professor Hyman's ad hoc Committee. If it was unknowing or unintentional, it represents a pitiful example of ooUegiality and scholarship. I find such academic shoddiness depressing. Now back to the latest contributions of Professors Segal, Shechner, Schneider, and Massey. I meant my last letter to get people tg think about )ust what Is wrong with having three outside presidents constitute this evaluation. Professors SS&S say that it violates the principle that "Citizens in a political community generally elect their leaders.” Not convincing. Those communities are created by the citizens themselves, whereas the Legislature has created the University.

I feel that for classes to be scheduled the day before Thanksgiving is a grave unfairness to the students who must travel quite a few hours to reach home, of whom I am one. Our two alternatives are to simply miss classes on Wednesday, or to drive (or noe) home through me mgnt in order to be with our families for Thanksgiving day. neither of which are very feasible. J realize that it is not possible to do anything about the situation for the present time, but hopefully the situation will be altered and there will be more sensitivity shown toward the students who will be here next year. Janis A. Chapin will not attract students Money is a problem of course, but I have not seen any evidence on this campus of efforts to conserve money where administrative processes are involved. The processes of registration and tuition collection, for example, are the most inefficient, in terms of both time and money wasted, that I have ever encountered. I, a geology student, know of better ways of conducting these processes, but this is neither my field nor my job. If the people in power at this university are really interested in balancing the budget, they should weed their own ranks first, gel off their Bunns and start doing their jobs with some degree of competence, and stop hindering the professors in their efforts to do their work.

The UB soccer 5 team runs to the contrary. “■ Described in Sports Illustrated as “a psychological chess game played with your feet,” soccer stresses thinking as well as athletic abilities. Use Luis Azcue and Ed Sorkin, Bulls’ co-captains, as examples. Azcue, usually found in the wing position, has missed one game since walking on to Rotary Field four years ago. He started playing soccer at the age of two, and he remembers playing on the beaches of his native Spain when he was seven. He started playing soccer seriously in Bodley High School in Fulton, New York. “l‘ve always felt something for soccer, since 1 am European,” said Azcue, while riding back on the team bus following a disappointing 4-0 loss to Elmira. “This year I’ve had the most fun. The junior varsity has helped a lot. Everyone has gotten game experience instead of sitting on the bench.” As the sun went down and the 5 * * HEAD FIRST HairStyles 386 Kenmore Ave. Al Englewood Haircut 6 BhwdryStyled $8.00 Perms $25 Including Cut • —Dan Holder Co-CapUIn Ed Sorfcln Boots one into the net team slept Azcue sat on the darkened bus, and listened to the Grateful Dead. Dressed in a light brown suit and blue tie, he remembered the past. The biggest letdown of his career has been not playing on a winning team in his four years here. The biggest thrill of his stay here was scoring the winning goal against Cleveland State in 1977. At the time, Cleveland was ranked seventh in the nation in Division I, and the 2-1 upset caused a wave of attention. “I got a lot of publicity from that goal, including a letter from (UB President Robert) Kcttcr,” related Azcue. Somewhat removed from the glory, Sorkin has anchored Buffalo’s “Zip Strip” defense the past two years. Sorkin’s career started at South Side High School playing the forward line. He has since dropped back to halfback, and finally to fullback. “I’d like to get involved in offense,” Sorkin commented. “I’m still looking for my number one goal—I’ll get it.. 1 try for play anticipation— turn the play around to offense.” of the team has been the establishment of the junior varsity squad’s own schedule. Dissension divided the team last year, as up to 30 players competed for playing time. With the creation of a junior varsity team, all roster members have found enough playing time. With this solution to the problem, Azcue said, “The team is closer together as friends.” Sorkin agred with Azcue that the junior varsity has helped the entire squad. “Last year there was a lot of dissension because of the large roster —it caused cliques on the team.” He also finds that there is more of a congenial atmosphere on the team because of the separate schedules. “I’m not looking forward to losing either of them,’’ commented soccer coach Sal Esposito. “They’re easy working, they do just what 1 want them to do 90 percent of the time.

The Bulls had finally prevailed after seven years and numerous losses. Standing out amidst the throngs of celebrators was the figure of a Buffalo player bowing on his knees, thanking God that his team was able to achieve the victory that would help erase the memory of the years that the sport was absent from this campus. Few noticed number 62 on the field that Fail afternoon. Unfortunately, few have ever really appreciated him for his efforts as an offensive tackle in his three-year career here. Jim Vaux, the worshipping figure that day, churned his 6-2, 245 pound frame to provide protection for quarterback Jim Rodriguez and the holes for an assortment of running backs. He stands out in a group of athletes who will play their final game tomorrow (at Alfred) beneath the blue UB helmets. Graduation will create a gaping hole in the offensive line because not only is Vaux leaving, but offensive line cohorts Jim Pepe and Craig Cirbus are also receiving diplomas, “We’ll miss the experience,” Bulls’ coach Bill Dando said “It’s like the old saying—-you dip in the well and you always come up with holes.” About the only time Dando’s saying has not been true this season is when he is discussing his running game—the offensive line has come up with few “holes.” With tailback Mark Maier sidelined with a sore ankle, the UB runners were rarely able to trudge through the line of scrimmage for plus-yardage. Looking towards the season’s final game, Dando can only hope circumstances turn around enough for UB to establish a ground attack. your hands Changes “We’re moving Jimmy Cook to tailback for Saturday’s game,” Dando revealed. “Hopefully we’ll be able to get some of the power we are lacking.” But Dando admits that whatever he does to patch up the attack will not be the perfect solution. “We don’t have the depth where we can lose seven or eight kids.” Injuries are common events in the UB training room, where a crowd that includes wide receiver Gary Quatrani, defensive tackle Larry Rothman, cornerback Kent Keating, center Joe Maxon, defensive back Brian Schmidt regularly gather to receive rehabilitation. With that in mind, Dando has assembled a force which he feels is capable bf defeating Alfred. “They puli a lot of razzle dazzle and.have a good quarterback, and they’ve been better with every ballgame,” Dando said. “But we feel we should have beaten them last year. Two of their touchdowns were scored on deflected passes.” Running for his life The injury factor has hurt Rodriguez more than anybody. Dando has stuck with his experienced signal-caller all year, and says Jim’s problems are related to the fact that “he’s running for his life half the time and he’s had passes dropped.” Dando has used reserve quarterback Ray Larson when the occasion merited his presence, but is careful not to extend the inexperienced youth’s playing time. “I’ve used Ray to shake up the team. He’s come through once before, but I don’t want to put too much pressure on him.” Placekicker Steve Pawluk perhaps summed up the situation best when he commented, “Every body expects Jim to have the kind of day he had last year at Coast Guard (where Rodriguez passed for over 400 yards). That’s impossible.” Pawluk, who last year hit on only two of nine field goal attempts, is eight for 11 this year and has convened three-pointers in every game except for Westminster. �■xwcrccon)W!W»Wv?;c-;v>.-:! sa|gS: ■' ;• $*?<:.■' . .. 4 Vs^T\ Vs — •■•••• : ■■ leers skate home tomorrow by >i Carlos Vallarino Sports Editor The hockey Bulls have mixed feelings about tomorrow’s match against Division 1 Colgate. Some team members are confident of a win, provided ihey play up to their potential. Others believe they are overmatched. The game will be Buffalo’s home opener (the Bulls started the campaign with a loss at Kent State last week) at Tonawanda Ice Time, which due to new ownership, changed its name from the Sports Center. According to coach Terry Slater, it will be a decimated Red Raider squad that will limp to Buffalo for its season’s first contest. “We have a lot of injuries,” he revealed. “I wish we weren’t playing for three weeks. One kid broke his arm. Another, Bill McCreary—who was drafted by Toronto— doesn’t know if he’ll be ready. Our starting goalie, Terry McSweeney, broke his finger and won’t be able to play. It’s a case of being hurt right now.” Slater’s plan is to switch certain players’ positions, like right wings to center, and centers to left wing. He fears, however, that°the shifts will detract from the team’s effectiveness and cause disorganization. No matter what the third-year coach decides to do, the Raiders will definitely be undermanned. “I’m going to have to move a defenseman up to the forward line just to complete three lines,’’ he indicated. 4* Not the same Obviously the injury-riddled Raiders will not be the same team that beat UB 10-4 last year at Colgate. Slater recalls that contest as being a lot closer than the lop-sided score would indicate. “They controlled the puck as much as we did,” he said. UB coach Ed Wright alos remembers last year’s encounter. “They were big and very quick,” he described. “They finished over .500 last year for the first time in a long time. They’re going to be a test for us —we’re going to have to play perfect hockey.” “The chances of us beating them aren’t too good,” agreed UB’s John Sucese. “They just have better players than UB. They have quick skaters with good heads on their shoulders—the plays seem to come naturally to them.” Buffalo co-captain Paul Narduzzo feels more confident than Sucese. He predicted that UB would win, but only if the Bulls are able to put enough pressure on the visitors. “They’re big and fast and they’re hitters,” he pointed out. “But if we hit them we can make our own breaks.” Bionic's post intramural shutout by Drew Lawsky and Wayne Baron In a rematch of last year’s “A” league intramural ice hockey finals, the Bionic Men cruised to their fourth victory without a loss over an undermanned Sigma Pi squad 3-0 at Tonawanda Ice Time. The Bionic Men controlled the action throughout Tuesday evening's contest. Gene Dudek led the attack, scoring a pair of goals and displaying some fine defensive work. “This is the best game we have played so far,” Dudek commented. “I see no reason why we Narduzzo reflected on last week’s overtime defeat in Kent State. The Bulls got more than enough breaks —they had 54 shots on goal—but were unable to take advantage of them. Wright did not think the Kent State loss would affect his troops. “It hasn’t taken anything out of them,” he said. “That (the Kent State game) was the first time 1 ever started the season with a team that had had less than three weeks of conditioning and preparation,” said Wright explaining the disappointing loss. “It was a mistake and I paid for it.” The Bulls will receive indirect help from one of their SUNY rivals, Plattsburgh State. The Cardinals will play the Raiders tonight, prompting Wright to suggest that the Raiders will be tired for tomorrow’s match. “It has to take something out of them. It’ll give us an advantage,” he said. The Division II Cardinals have already defeated Colgate this year, a fact that UB’s Keith Sawyer says will boost the Bulls’ morale. “Even though it didn’t count, it counts in our minds,” he asserted. can’t go undefeated.” Play began rather raggedly, with much of the action taking place between the blue lines. Neither team could muster much of an attack, with good scoring opportunites being few and far between. Finally the Bionic Men broke the deadlock as Jim Bender put one by helpless Sigma Pi netminder Steve Schifferlie. "1 guess I was in the right place at the right time,” commented Bender. “1 had him dead to rights.” It looked like the lethargic Sigma Pi squad would escape the first intermission trailing by only one goal. Dudek, however had other thoughts in mind. Picking up the puck inside the blue line, he deked around two defensemen and fired a wrist shot over Schifferlie’s right shoulder, giving the Bionic Men a 2-0 lead after the first period. Manager wanted Troubled attack Anyone who is interested in assisting the Varsity Basketball team as a manager-statistician please see coach Bill Hughes at Clark Hall in Room 200. As the second period began. Sigma Pi—playing without captain Mike Mulcahey—continued to have problems getting the offense generated. “We were missing many of our players, including an entire line,” commented Sigma Pi veteran Bob Benjamin. “We were tired and outmatched tonight. Hopefully we’ll be better prepared if we meet them in the playoffs.” David Todd tried to inspire the Sigma Pi squad with his aggressive play. However, he was slapped with a penalty when he pulled down rushing defenseman Mike McGorry. The Bionic Men wasted no tiiBrfgetting their power play going. A shot by John Gaffney from the point was stopped but the rebound^tqfl,,right to again Bender. His effort was stopped by the puck rebounded, this time to Dudek, who made no mistake in firing a backhand into the open net. The tally gave the Bionic Men a comfortable 3-0 lead going into the final stanza. The third period featured no scoring and some hard hitting, especially from McGorry. “We-have not had too much competiition yet,” said McGorry, who got into a minor altercation while going for the puck behind his net. “We’ll find out how good this team is as the season progresses.” Sigma Pi had an opportunity to spoil Mike Groh’s shutout bid with a four-on-three skating advantage late in the period. Solid penalty killing stymied the Sigma Pi offense, preserving the whitewash. “1 was a little bored out there," admitted Groh, who picked up his fourth straight shutout. “They are averaging about three shots on goal a game against me. I sure think we can win again. However, 1 haven’t seen many of the other teams.” It is the feeling around the league that the BionicMen are the team to beat this year. With a good mixture of explosive offensive, steady defensive work, and sound goaltending, the Bionic Men seem to have the tools to capture their second straight championship. ������������������������������������ A \ : j Ik EARN DOLLARS t • • £ % in your spare time!

Chairman of the survey committee Theodore Mills noted, “You cannot generalize’’ from the results. Another committee member, Wolfgang Wolck, pointed out that because only 424 of over 1500 faculty members responded, the survey’s findings do not necessarily represent the conclusions of all the faculty here. But Mills, on the other hand maintained that twice as many faculty responded than on a usual vote. He noted, “Two-thirds were tenured and when this many faculty respond to a questionnaire, their opinions should be respected.” Survey accepted But some believe that the one and only section actually evaluating Ketter is telling of how the survey’s respondents view the President. The items included in the evaluation section of the survey ranged from Ketter’s improving the University under his leadership to his personal style enhancing performance. Results show that on nine of the ten evaluative questions, more faculty disagree than agree (see chart) that Ketter has favorably engaged in activities that the survey’s organizers believed to be important for a President. But Francis was quick to note that some discrepancy may exist between what organizers felt was important of the President and what survey respondents believed the President should do. Therefore, although the number of unfavorable evaluative responses outweighed the number of favorable responses, these must be juxtaposed with a faculty member’s ideal of what the President should actually do The survey’s findings were released at Tuesday’s Faculty Senate meeting almost three weeks after faculty were mailed the questionnairre. Although new presidential guidelines evaluation preclude “non-attributable” information, the Senate still voted in September to distribute the survey. Chairman of the Senate Newton Carver noted that an official in the SUNY Chancellor’s office revealed to him that the survey will be accepted by the evaluators. But what the committee exacts from the document and how they use it remains to be seen. “No strong conclusions can be drawn for the University as a whole,” said Wolck. “I’m sorry too few faculty cared enough to respond.” But his colleague Mills remarked, “However, because this is a means to which the faculty speaks to the evaluation team, every response is legitimate and should be respected.” Sociology Department Chairman and committee member 'Constantine Yeracaris pointed out that the actual evaluative items were pulled from literature, detailing important qualities of some University Administrations. “In terms of the selected items,” Yeracaris said, “what is the relevance of the ‘silent majority’ or why did only 28 percent (of the faculty) respond are important questions.” The committee hopes to add more interpretative data to its findings before the presidential evaluation team arrives. “It depends on the availability of the computer and the programmer,” noted Chairman Mills.

Retrenchment—laying off faculty to meet budgetary reality—has never occurred in any systematic form here, according to UB Vice President for Academic Affairs Ronald F. Bunn. However, mandated reductions—cutting of non-occupied lines—cost the University 24 faculty and 12 staff positions last year. According to Bunn, UB could have taken up to twice that cut last year had the State Division of Budget followed its enrollment formula rigidly in allocating money. With UB’s promise that enrollments would pick up this year, DOB ordered only the 36 cuts. But even-with enrollments down again, Bunn does not concede that retrenchment, or even mandated reductions, are inevitable. “They may be able to see, and we are trying to show them, that steps are being taken to help cure the enrollment problem,” Bunn ' explained. UB is “very close” this fall to the annual average enrollment expected of it, Bunn noted, but the typical four to five percent Spring attrition will be figured into the average, accounting for the shortfall. Increased efforts at recruiting, particularly in Millard Fillmore College, and an effort to shave mid-year attrition will be used as arguments to avert cuts, he said. Chairman of the Academic Planning Committee George Hochfield recently told the Faculty Senate Executive Committee that “the possibility of retrenchment is strong at this point.” But Hochfield, whose committee advises Bunn on resource allocation, told The Spectrum, “It sounded to me like a good bet, but I’ve felt that in the past and it’s been avoided.” Retrenchment has been avoided throughout the SUNY system for the most part, although the State University College at New Paltz lost 26 tenured faculty Wednesday Vol. 30, No. 35/SUNY at Buffalo/7 November 1979 distributed Ira* to the University community/llmlt one copy par person Sub Board cover-up: The Clifton R. Wharton. One way to avoid across-the-board retrenchment is to cut whole programs, but many predictably view this as a last ditch alternative. One solution to low enrollment, according to UB’s Hochfield, is to retrench now and get it over with to spare later grief. But others, Hochfield noted, believe that holding retrenchment at bay as long as possible is the better course of action. Wharton noted recently that several campuses within SUNY have done well in adjusting their size downward to deal with declining enrollment. “A great deal is going to depend on what happens to individual enrollment levels and to what extent each campus plans for it,” Wharton commented. While the pool of college age students will decline steadily through the 1980’s, the amount of money available to SUNY may also shrivel. The State has agreed to assume funding for the City University of New York over the next four years, putting an added strain on New York’s higher education dollar. It seems “quite probably,” Bunn said, that the CUNY funding will have an effect on SUNY’s budget. Whether retrenchment will strike UB won’t be known until Governor Hugh L. Carey’s executive budget is completed in mid-January. Meanwhile, Bunn will meet with the various Deans and with the Academic Planning Committee to decide strategy. Enrollment figures to be a key factor in pinpointing cuts within the University, if necessary, although program quality will be another factor, according to Bunn. Although Hochfield concedes that accenting enrollment heavily could affect the academic balance of the University, he noted, “It’s very hard to think of other possibilities when you’re confronted with this kind of drastic thing year after year.” SflKE former treasurer pocketed $380 Since last Spring, the system for signing “reps” (vouchers) altered requiring two signatures—the second from Black. "'i Volan pointed out that he had worked with the faulty accounting system at Sub Board all year, therefore contending that the oppprtunity for embezzlement was always by Elena Cacavas has-been News Editor ' - ... Two Sub Board officials intentionally covered up the embezzlement of $380 last year by former treasurer Michael Volan, The Spectrum learned last week. The crime was kept quiet because all three student officials feared attacks on the organization’s integrity stemming from the misuse of student funds. When first contacted by The Spectrum for response, Sub Board Executive Director Dennis Black and former Chairman Jane Baum refused to comment. Sub Board, the student service corporation is partially funded by the Student Association (SA) and in charge of disbursing money collected through Mandatory Student Activity fees. The three-man Executive Committee is comprised of the Chairman, Vice Chairman and the Treasurer. While technical failures—since corrected —in Sub Board’s accounting system were blamed for allowing the embezzlement, personal differences were tagged as influencing how the matter was handled. According to Volan, who was not criminally prosecuted but was asked to repay the money, internal political conflicts were the primary catalysts for his action. “The main reason was the position 1 was put in toward the end of the year. (Chairman) Jane Baum and Vice Chairman Scott Juisto had asked me to resign because they felt too much power was concentrated in my position; they wanted to handle the job. That was the last straw,” he said. While Volan admitted that “treatment” was fair—his having to pay back the amount—-he questioned circumstances which enveloped that period. “It probably might not have been brought out if my attitude had been different regarding giving out information to SA (the Student Association) during the budget hearings,” he said. Former Chairman Jane Baum told The Spectrum Monday evening when contacted in New York that Volan was “blatantly lying.” She added however, “it’s not the kind where 1 can just answer. This is really twisted, well-done lying.” Sub Board Executive Director Dennis Black, Baum and Volan were the central characters in the plot last March, with others (including two or three University administrators) involved, but supplied with only minimal information. Both Baum and Black agreed to speak with The Spectrum -after information was obtained elsewhere, but Black could not be reached for comment. Baum and Black questioned Volan accompanied by SA attorney Richard Lippes last Spring, after an investigation showed he “misappropriated” about $380 of student money Inside: Us, him and them—P. 3 * present “After 1 was asked to resign, 1 agreed to stay on and relinquish some responsibility to Jane and Scott. Actually, I was only signing the reps,” he said. Volan maintained that the embezzlement was in direct response to his power restrictions. He added, however, that the $380 represented actual expenses, but whether they existed within the guidelines of Sub Board, he added, “could be debated forever.” Baum stringently attacked Volan’s claims, admitting that she had asked him to resign, but only because of his poor performance. “He was running Sub Board into the ground. I could have taken him to the Board asking for impeachment," she said, “but there were only three months left and 1 don’t Admitted that punishment Is 'fair' himself from various budget lines. He admitted to the pointing to certain justifications—and repayment was opted for instead of prosecution. A source who asked not to-be named said the matter was handled confidentially “in what everyone believed was the best intersts of all involved.” The main goal, the person said, was to get the money back, not bring the handling of student fees or Sub Board accounting procedures under question. Volan supported limiting the publicity. He said the issue involved personal, riot organizational action and should not have been Sub Board’s mistake. “They wanted to try first to handle it internally, both Baum and Black felt if that couldn’t be done, they would go elsewhere,” he said. to charge—while One person authority The premise that the matter could have fueled the fire against misuse of Student Mandatory Fees was also supported. Volan said while Sub Board has a lot of checks and balances on the fees, the one missing is that authority lies within one person—the treasurer. Volan noted of the three member Executive Committee, “Typically the Vice Chairman does nothing, so that means we’re working only with the Director. And he’s so busy with general matters, day to day operations are left up to the treasurer. That’s giving one person the authority for monetary disbursal.” / Fascination— Pp. 4-5 / think it would have gone thrbugh.” The justifications posed by Volan for the expenses he claimed were legitimate were challenged by Baum. While reps for lunches and dinners were harder to prove false, she pointed out that a weekend car rental for Volan’s personal use and a $100 electrical repair bill for his car showed blatgant misuse. Volan contended that even the limited attention given the matter was spurred by his compliance with SA during the Spring budget hearings. He maintained that the information he gave out —to the chagrin of Sub Board officials —was public and available to anyone upon request. “I have no idea what Sub Board’s problem was,” he said. A lot centered around salary figures which the officials agreed would not be publicly released, but that’s public information. Jane and Scott, however, felt 1 should have stuck to their policy.” Volan, however, believes his embezzlement would not have been ignored once discovered. “In their minds it was legitimate misues of funds,” he said. He stressed, however, that the embezzlement would have drawn less attention under different circumstances. Baum dismissed these allegations as false. While drastic cases of misuse of student fees can be through the Attorney General’s Office, no external authorities and few University officials were involved. Associate Vice President for Student Affairs Anthony Lorenzetti and Vice President of Finance and Management Edward Doty were made aware of the situation, but their input reportedly stopped there. According to Doty, “The problem was brought to me and 1 was asked for advice confidentially. They handled the matter themselves pretty prosecuted well 1 think.” Spirits in the Night—P. 6 / Intramural football—P. 9 �f March in Allentown I to fight forgay rights by Rebecca J. Smith Spectrum Stuff Writer The hcaVy beat of a drum accompanied the chanting of 150 people as they marched downtown in Allentown Friday evening. , “Unite to fight for gay rights!” they shouted in unison. It seemed common enough—the kind of event you might expect to find in Allentown. The hand-painted signs the group carried demanded an end to gay oppression. Men held hands, women hugged each other, and together, the marchers peacefully against demonstrated discrimination. The chant eventually changed to “Don’t be pushed around! Refuse to eat at Townc!” This was not simply another objection to gay oppression. It was an expression of the discontentment the gay community feels toward Towne Red Hots, a Greek restaurant in the heart of Allentown. Friday’s picket was the second one of its kind held. The trouble began on October 6 when the owner of Towne Red Hots (known only as George) removed gay-related materials from the bulletin board in his foyer. These included posters advertising the National March on Washington for Lesbian and Gay rights. "(They) and immediately were , systematically removed, while other leaflets were allowed to remain up,” explained a circular distributed at the demonstration. When the owner was approached by members of the gay community, he declared that his customers should not have to be subjected to “offensive advertising.” No controversy any want ‘‘We didn’t controversial posters. Look. There are no political posters. We’re not favoring any one group,” explained the owner. His customers accused him of promoting gay rights when they noticed the gay-related fliers, don’t like ‘‘people just controversy,'” he continued. The bulletin board is strictly for advertising community events. The cries grew louder. More and more people, straight and gay alike, joined in the march. “Dare to struggle, dare to win, turn around and don’t go in!” The entrances to the luncheonette HOT ISSUE: A portion of Buffalo’s gay community marched through the streets of Allentown laat Friday and picketed the restaurant Towns Red Hots. The restaurant’s owner has were blocked as the procession slowly moved to the beat of the drum. “The intent is to picket during his critical hours. .We already know that we’ve hurt his business,” remarked one of the picketers, Donna Morask. Howaever, George insisted that the demonstration has only effected his business on the days that the pickets were held. His business remains substantial on . weekdays. As a response to the censorship —Dsnnis R. Floss repeatedly removed notices pertaining to the gay commulty from his establishment’s public bulletin board. He characterized the notices as ‘offensive.’ exercised by Towne Red Hots, the Buffalo Area Lesbian and Gay rights coalition was formed. “Buffalo’s first boycott of an antigay establishment subsequently began,” the circular explained. The coalition presented a group of demands to George which included a written apology from him. His response, “He said he doesn’t want o r need gay business,” remarked Donna Marask. “Anyone can come in and eat,” he insisted. He maintained that he is Hughes is news We make engineering and scientific history year after year.

He simply wants his bulletin board to remain uncontroversial. Towne Red Hots has been in Allentown, a section with a large gay population, for seven years and has never had trouble. “And all of a sudden, they boycott me,” George exclaimed. The protest won’t end here. “He was taking a stand. He hasn’t given in. We are calling for a permanent boycott and are instituting a letter writing campaign,” asserted Morask. Because Towne’s business is approximately one-third gay, the coalition and other leftist groups in Allentown anticipate a permanent decline in the restaurant’s all around business. “We will no longer participate in our own oppression. We have come and angry,” out of the closets the circular asserted. The beat of the drum quickened as the chanting intensified. Clapping and shouting now accompanied the song. The battle drum pounded for victory.

Gilbert South Africa is a white minority settler nation whose four million English and Dutch citizens are terrified of the politically and economically deprived twenty million black, mixed background and Asian majority. To assure their continued dominance, South African whites have created a permanently militarized society with an extensive apartheid system, political repression, and a massive military machine. That apartheid system, its regulation of all black movement, and its denial of political and union rights to the black majority was detailed two weeks ago in the first of a three-part series on South Africa. This week, South Africa’s political and military repressive apparatus, will be covered. South Africa is a democratic society for its white citizens, with a free press, and an elective government on the British model. But in denying civil liberties and economic equality to the majority of the population, South Africa has enacted laws profoundly totalitarian in character. The two most Important of these are the Suppression of Communism Act, passed in 1950, and the Terrorism Act of 1967. The Suppression Act delegates the Minister of Justice and Police, the power of banning organizations and individuals “who are ‘suspected’ of ‘promoting’ communism. Broadly interpreted, as it always is, any black or white opposition can be silenced. South Africa’s “banning of individuals” is defined as up to ten years of restriction to a small, remote area of the country, and no contact with more than one person at a time. Anything written or said in the past or future by the banned individualmay not be published 6r circulated in any way under penalty of law. Following the massacre by security forces of 67 peaceful protestors at Sharpeville in 1960, and the intense guerilla activity that followed, the Terrorism Act of 1967 gave additional broad powers to the Justice and Police Minister. Among them is unlimited power to detain any persons suspected of ‘promoting’ terrorism.

Ya Know (a po pular opening on English 101 papers), it must be kinda tpugh to be an artist in this postmodern era. What with characters in movies saying things like “I feel like a character in a movie”, real people saying “I feel like someone just painted me on a canvas and forgot to give me a mood,' philosophical writers advancing important literary strides by keeping silent. It’s like really hard to have an original thought. Think, just did ya ever stop and think for a second, about how many hundreds, or, maybe even thousands, thousands of writers a-and artists a-and composers at this moment in time—at this very second that we’re sitting here and eating these burning hot tacos—are trying to come up with one original idea, just one new melody line or one new image or one new way to paint a landscape. Did ya ever think about that? Oh wow. Well, so what's an artist to do? mean he (for purposes of comumnflow. the third person masculine form will be used to indicated any fictional artist per se; this is not to indicate that fbmale artists are any less creative, successful, or troubled) could paste beer cans on canvases, create papermache replicas of construction workers, write stories meant to be spoken (who reads anymore, anyway, uh?), compose cacophonous cantatas. But he wants to make aesthetically pleasing art while advancing>the cause of his medium. He could write bestsellers or poptunes, but we are discussing like real art man, not that crap the fuckin’ masses go for. Art like James Joyce and Salvador Dali, not like Arthur Haley and the Comets, or whatever. Indeed. Indeed the artist has a dilemma. For one thing, what the hell is he doint? Re-creating life? Who asked for another creation? Can’t he be content to just live, like everybody else? Isn’t that enough for him? And if he’s got going to create, at least make us laugh or feel good or give us positive role models or something, we can feel like shit all by ourselves.Damn. want to relax. want to be' entertained. don’t want to think about what I I I I I'm dong here, who really cares? Survival’s tough enough. But.. .what about the artist's survival in such a worts? A word from the Woody: “I’m glad I wasn't born an Apache, or I's have serious career problems. What would they want with a comedian?” And so it goes in the twientieth century a tern that seems to imply there are no more ghosts or natural phenomena, that nobody reads and unhappiness is a sin, that comfort is King and TV is Queen. That makes the bohemian aretist a veritable crime against everything the society stands for. And if those same struggling creative urges didn’t occasionally sacrifice a meal for a new book, there’s be nobody perpetuating the bohemias artistus species. And I honestly don’t think anyone wants art to go the route of the Dodo bird. In the past two hundred years, art—through the painting, sculpting, literary, film, stage, music, and philosophy mediums—has succeeded in reflecting life so well that one is not sure whether he is a character in someone else's movie or his own film's director. There are characters in novels who come to life more vividly than their real-life counterparts: not bigger-than-life characters, but realler-than-life characters. The artist has stepped into a revolving door of-mirrors and can’t get off at either exit because neither one is clearly defined. Art and life reflect each other on and on infinitely. The artist feels so low he can play handball against the curb. He’s so low he has to take one step up to get to Hell. He’s been knocked so low he has to look up to look down. Bingo.. .may-be, just may-be, bing-o. Out of the mouths of Brooklyn insults oft corns basic street smarts. The artist has been knocked so low he las to look up to look down; in other words, he has to find a different way, an alternative manner in which to look down (or more accurately, to look in). He’s going to have to find new perspectives from which to view life, and subsequently re-create it, find a new way to present 10,00 years of culture and human nature. How else is he going to convince those who write ya know these compositions that kinda have like and really as every other word that reading or music or stage or art may have more to offer than Laverne and Shirley. �Loved it To the Editor: This is exactly like the letters to the editor I get. First, let me say that it was a very nice article. Now here comes the but: I wish to clear up the misconception that the Reporter has only one full-time writer. I tried to make it clear to MS. Gordon that the entire operation at 136 Crofts was not the Reporter. But I did take pains to point out that we have a very accomplished assistant editor, Joyce Buchnowski, and a capable and dedicated calendar editor, Jean Shrader, i realize that Ms. Gordon was writing about me, but I don’t want to minimize the contributions of these two staff persons to the Reporter. Again, thanks for the article. That was the first time in 20 years that anyone had ever interviewed me. I loved it! Robert T. Martetl Editor, the Reporter feedback i Geese should go To the Editor ~ I am writing this in the hopes of clarifying a few Ellicott Geese. As Ben Rossett suspects in his letter to The Spectrum on 10/31/79, the geese are indeed domestic. They are Emden geese and are raised primarily for their meat. Their feathers are used as down in jackets, vests, sleeping bags, etc. There is also a small market for their eggs. Because of their body size, domestic geese cannot fly. (Wild geese are Smaller and less "meaty”.) However, when cornered and provoked enough, some geese will bite. Domestic geese can be tamed and make very good pets. (My parents have a flock of 20-30 “pet” geese on their farm which they raise for their questions concerning the eggs). The main problem with keeping the geese around Ellicott lies in the fact that they can be tamed. Nearly all animals are born (or hatched, In this case) with a distrust for man in his role as a potential predator. The Ellicott residents who have befriended the geese have to a large extent, overcome this distrust. But, the geese lack the ability to distinguish between friend and foe until its too late. There are too many people on this campus who have little or no regard for the lives and rights of others, human or otherwise. Even chasing Don’t take it To the Editor: that you are students—you are here to learn, and This letter is a call for the fifty year class at the School of Pharmacy to let it be known they are fed up with the quality of teaching and testing those going through their clerkship are experiencing. I have heard enough from several such persons, regarding the attitudes of the Pharm D’s, the trivia on the tests, the unreasonable demands, and the unfeeling scshedules this year’s class is subject to. I indeed these instructors and proctors are inexperienced in teaching and testing, let it be known to them they are not being realistic. If they are demanding an unreasonable schedule, let it be known learning everything else has its saturations lever. If the quizes are ridiculously trivial—tell them. Then if they cannot see their own ineptness and if they cannot benefit from your observaations, go over their heads to professors, and to deans. You are now going to remedy your problems unless they are meade to lake notice that they are the problem. You are not going to improve their proficiency until they are made aware of their inadequacies. And you ar doing your underclassmen no justice if you sit there and take the bullshit that these young beginners are unknowingly flinging at your open-mouthed faces. S.CfSutton Always grateful To the Editor: I would like to extend my gratitude to the counselors at the Sexuality Education Center and to encourage women to use the Center’s confidential services. Recently faced with an unplanned pregnancy, I was feeling desperately alone as I had no close frriends or family to turn to. Finally I decided to seek help at the Sex. Ed. Center where I found the women to be extremely open, comforting and supportive during my pregnancy and of my decision to have an abortion. In view of the rising opposition to abortion rights being felt by waomen at this campus and everywhere, I felt it was important to let others ever facing the decision of an unplanned pregnancy and an abortion, that there is a place for them to turn and prople close 4 by who care. The Sex. Ed. Center also has a support group for women choosing to go full-term with their pregnancies and offers gynecological and birth control services.

I Guest Opinion Fight for group living rights The City of Buffalo Building Code Inspection Department is kicking students out of their homes by selective enforcement of “grouper laws", which prohibit single people from living together. On October 6, 1979 16 University Ave. was cited for building code violations. It is incidental that three persons attending UB live in the residence with the owner of the dwelling. The occupants though, think that the eviction is discriminator in part, and possibly racially motivated. A Black, a Chinese, a Persian and a Jew live there. Grouper laws originated in the 1800's as community attempts to enforce family values. Recently the laws, although rarely enforced, have been used to force compliance with sanitary, noise and health codes. Vet in this immediate case, there have been no allegations of health or safety violations. The only possibility is that the city, in receiving an anonymous complaint, is enforcing the nuclear family concept. Occupant Marc Ganz was asked his reaction to the planned eviction, “We are quiet sensible neighbors. This is selective enforcement of a pre-historic law. Three-quarters of my block have illegal tenants." Reached for comment, Marvin Bergman, City of Buffalo Building Code Inspector said he knew of no other citations for this particular violation. Asked whether the racial mix of the individuals living in the house had anything to do with the complaint, Bergman replied that it was “not impossible”, although he had no way of knowing the intent of the complaint. Six other UB students are being evicted from their apartment on the same violation beased on neighbors complaints to University District Councilman Fahey’s office, which then contacted the Building Code Inspector. Councilman Fahey could not be reached for his comments on the situation. What is the impact to students if this law were to be effectively enforced? The supply of student housing in the city of Buffalo would drastically decline. This would lead to the further decline to the already blighted neighborhoods. Single people cannot afford to live alone in this imflationary society. Moreover, society is finally providing decent housing for single people. 25,000 students of UB at least have the opportunity for decent housing. Another impact of this code is its potential use by landlords as a means to evict students without cause. next spring. . .) There are questions that should be answered concerning their care and feeding of the'geese over the winter months. Who will feed them twice a day? Who waill_ break the Ice in the lake several times a day so that they always have water? Who waill buy the 200 lbs. of corn that they will eat this winter? Geese must eat lettuce (or some form of greens) every day. Who will buy this? Who will come twice a day over Christmas break to take care of them? Will the residents who accept these responsibilities this year return next year and do the same? Will they still teed, the geese during finals week? I must agree with Ben Rossett and Lew Clayman. The geese have the right to live happy, healthy lives. That right will be infringed on if they remain here. Ther dangers to the geese far outweigh the benefits to Ellicott residents. The students can find another form of entertainment and another vehicle for their affections. Where can Louie, the missing goose, find another eye? Please, don’t be selfish. Ann Fischer will always be Name withheld upon request by Susan Duffy and Carolyn Kelly them and throwing things at them, both relatively harmless activities, are cruel—Don’t they have the right to exist without being frightened for the sport of if? There are benefits to keeping the geese. They are good in that they seem to unify people for a cause. (Lew dayman pointed out some problems waith this in his letter on 10/31/79.) They take the place of dogs and cats and other pets that people accept as unquestioning, devoted “friends" in a world that is often cold and frustrating. They help to beautify Ellicott and the area around the lake. (Although people may forget this fact when their vare feet step in goose shit ~~ The need to promote family values has ended. Single people have the right to choose what type of lifestyle to lead.

But the Bulls began a gradual decline after reaching the .500 mark. Cross-country coach A1 Heinen will not waiting for runners to waltz in next Fall’s season. Returning to UB after leaving in 1975, Heinett simply did not have the personnel to make Buffalo competitive—especially after two of the top three runners suffered mid-season injuries. Bjr this season's end JUB had suffered lopsided defeats to some of the state’s better stand around teams. at Last weekend the Buffalo * “I’m in the process of doing some recruiting now,” said Heinen. “I’ve got some feelers on two of the top runners from the Mohawk Valley are and a couple of guys from around here. “And with all the joggers you see around the UB campus, there must be some people who can run.” At the opening of the 1979 season, Heinen thought he had a few good runners despite cross-country’s absence from the UB varsity* sports picture for four years. With key runners Mike Fisher and Butch Anson at top form, the Bulls’ record climbed who can be the backbone of the future UB cross-country teams. Only a sophomore, Anson did not get off to a good start in the New York Championships. “In fact. Butch had a bad start,” Heinen recalled. “He got behind in the pack in the start of the race and couldn’t make it up. That’s just inexperience.” But problems should subside as Heinen himself gathers top flight talent for the future—even if it means grabbing a jogger off the paths of the UB campus. David Davidson FACULTY STAFF STUDENTS Voice Your Opinion VOTE Ketter Referendum Soccer Bulls hang up spikes — — Finishing up a season usually means emotional farewells in the locker room, mixed with images of battered athletes hanging up their spikes for the last time. Sunday the UB Soccer team finished up the season with a 2-0 loss at Brockport. But instead of the usual sad farewells, the squad was relieved to b e rid of the long practice sessions and five-hour bus trips. In general, the players welcomed the opportunity to put more time into their studies and schoolwork. Sunday’s loss dropped the Bulls to a 6-8 year, but coach Sal Esposito is confident about next year. “It will hurt losing five starters, but from what *i*’ve seen from our junior varsity players, we should do alright.” Some have already seen action with the varsity team, including Jim DeVore, Tony Markut, and Dave , McKiver. As for Sunday’s contest, “We looked good for the first period, and for the last 15 minutes, but there was that in-between time when we fell apart,” reported UB’s Keith Schwabinger. “We looked very good, and played better.” The Golden Eagles scored in the first half, after the EARN DOLLARS n :r runners competed with 20 other State schools in the New York Championships, finishing in 19th place. The ray of sunshine in the otherwise cloudy performance was Anson’s 44th placement in the field of 140 runners. Anson, Heinen noted, is the type of runner ; in your spare time!

Free physical examination including. blood pressure check and blood group ball bounced off UB halfback Ed Sorkin’s foot. “They scored the first goal on a fluke, and after that our guys had to fight to win. That score just took a lot out of us,” said Esposito. “The second goal was a good effort on their part,” explained Schwabinger. “They came in fast, and had some good passing in front of the goaf to get the score.” The tally offset some fine defensive work by Buffalo’s Jim LaRue and DeVore. UB’s Dave Gauss, although still injured, came off the bench and played for a while. There does not seem to be any chance of post-season tournaments for Buffalo due to the poor record. “We have our best times at those tournaments,” remarked Mike Marzalkowski, one of the graduating starters. “A couple of years ago we went down to Virginia, and had a great time. They put us up in the dorms, and treated us like guests, not like students.” All that is left for the squad is the annual scrimmage between the freshmen/sophomores and the juniors/seniors. It is not being played for the record, but for what Esposito described as “playing for pride, and also for some beers and pizza.” —Dan Holder •<** Buffalo Plasma Center Corp. 3104 Bailey Avenue.

Unbeaten (8-6) Helter Skelter is presently on a collision course with Tolchok I, its quaterfinal opponent tomorrow at 4 p.m. by virtue of Tolchok’s 26-0 whitewash of the Toxic Wastes on Sunday. Skelter’s Andy Kaner, confident about tomorrow’s match, predicted, “We’re going to roll right through Tolchok.” Other quarterfinal pairings include the 69’ers against the Checkers, to be held tomorrow at 3 p.m. The Checkers overpowered the Dog Logs on Monday, 31-18.

Mance duplicated the feat on the extra point attempt to give Skelter a 7-0 first-half lead and the eventual winning edge. The Skelter defenders did not need anything else. Eunice’s next series gave Dobrowski a chance to put his talents on display. On three consecutive downs, the fircd-up lineman stopped a short pass play at the line of scrimmage, negated a quarterback keeper on its tracks and sacked the signal-caller behind the line. Following two safeties and a halftime intermission, Barrera unloaded another bomb to the left corner of the end zone, this one caught by Kaner, to provide Skelter with its final winning margin. —Carlos Vallarino offstride much of the game. “This is the first game I’ve quarterbacked all year,” commented Brahams. “1 really felt good throwing the ball.” The win was popularly attributed to a complete team effort —especially defensively. 69’er Rich Levine, who intercepted two passes and also ran for a touchdown, summed it up, “Great defense and great blocking leads to victories.” Brahms’ find passing and running exhibition resulted in a quick six on the 69’ers’ second possession. A bruising block by Mike McClendon sprung Brahms into the end zone from 10 yards out. McClendon’s diving catch on the conversion attempt lifted the 69’crs into a 7-0 lead. The 69’er defense, led by excellent line play by McClendon and Mike Oppcnheim, continually chased Bionic quarterback Mike DiBcrardino out of the pocket, forcing him to throw short or run for limited gains. McClendon commented, “We really played well as a unit, especially defensively.” Aimless attack The Bionic Boys were forced to punt on all three first half possessions. The Boys were hurt on numerous occasions by dropped snaps from center resulting in wasted downs. The offense could not muster up a sustained drive, being held to poor field position by the 69’er defense throughout the half. A shanked punt early in the second half gave,the Boys the best field position of the day. After a completed pass on third down, McClendon again stole the show, sacking DiBerardino and then making a saving play on a quarterback run on last down. Later in the half an interception by Levine set up the killing blow. On third down, a harmless-looking screen pass to Levine broke wide open down the sidelines as a result of another powerful McClendon block. 40 yards later Levine was in the end zone, giving the 69’ers a comfortable 13-0 advantage. It was only fitting that the Boys’ last possession saw a swarming 69’er defense shut it down. Oppenheim led the charge with two sacks.

Instead of giving UB an identity both students and faculty can be proud of, our President has been content to merely manage it. To most students, Ketter is known only through The Spectrum. yearly obligatory Despite appearances in Haas Lounge, Ketter is inaccessible. Though he counters this criticism with the fact that he has open office hours, he has no interest in coming in contact with students. With the excuse of open office hours to hide behind, Ketter can continue to remain inaccessible to his constituents and justify it to himself. But it is students who must make the effort to go see him. And how many students will take advantage of this open invitation? The Capen Hall Office of the President is an intimidating one at best. Because Ketter insists on aloofness, students believe the Administration is too far removed to even concern Them. The Administration holds the reins of power over students yet the students do not even know who these people are. Yes, apathy is the disease of our times but it would not be as pervasive if students felt in control. We are not involved in the decision making process. And whatever students are granted is limited. The inaccessibility of Ketter also affects the faculty which in turn affects students. Without leadership, without a vision of the academic world they are working in, faculty members too become apathetic. And every student who has ever taken a class where the professor is indifferent to the material and to those being taught feels the effect of Ketter’s presidency even more. These are some of the immediate problems of Keller’s presidency that students can relate to their college experience here and which .may not be clear to them in the pages of the press. Distance, inaccessibility and alienation all lead to a frustrating four year experience. But it is even more* frustrating when students do not understand the reasons for their own frutrations. power The Spectrum must begin to help them realize why. And then maybe, we can be the collective force —the strong student body made up of press, student government and students—we should be. Maybe then, we can begin to do something about the University which depends on students for its survival.

Bethlehem officials were unavailable for comment to The Spectrum. Kemp sarcastically maintained, “They aren’t very hard to reach when they’re asking for help.” g Congressman I * >; ° , . , .... . protesting heat shut-offs and accusing the company of “ripping off’ its customers. Carrying petitions for a national referendum for public ownership of oil companies, protestors picketed the central office for about an hour, drawing encouragement from the predominantly lower income spectators. Debra Hase, the group’s spokesman, told The Spectrum that NFG has recently cut off heat to over 6500 homes in the area, leaving them unprotected for the coming winter months. PEC demanded that Governor Hugh Carey issue an emergency executive order to reverse the action. NFG official Peter Voight contested the group’s claim. He stressed that the shut-off had no malicious intent, but was a result of late bill payments. The protest occurred late in the afternoon, catching those returning home from work. One man, for example said, “I think it’s ridiculous that old people have to pay the high prices . . We need our own companies.” No one was present at the march from NFG to make a statement, although one guard passed and muttered a quiet “bullshit” to the group’s pleas. Most of the passerbys yelled supportive words, accompanied by raised fists showing support, and complained about the price of home heating. The Committee additionally protested NFG’s practice of selling natural fuel gas out of the area, and then buying lower quality fuel at higher prices. This so-called “sweethearting” has the effect, Hase claimed, of “artificially raising prices.” Voight contested PEC’s claims and reported that 60 percent of the company’s profits—about $320,000—was credited to customers on May or June bills. The PEC also announced another protest scheduled for November 8. The group’s goal is to collect one million signatures, nationwide, supporting the nationalization of the oil companies. Transportation Bond Issue, the passage of the much needed New York will not upstate for appropriated the monies provide the revenue necessary to offset the NFTA Metro Bus deficit.” He urged Carey to fulfill the “same campaign promises that he made to New York City” to provide the necessary funding.

In a 8tt«r to Governor Hugh U- Carey, Tauriello expressed his concern over the increase and requested State funds to offset the $1.8 million deficit NFTA claimed it incurred this year. NFTA reported that it was forced to increase the city fare because of growing fuel and equipment costs. A spokesman emphasized that the hike was the first since the company went public five years ago. But Tauriello emphasized, “Even with Format Israeli Minister of Defense Moshe Dayan to speak at Shea’s LECTURE SERIES ON AGING sponsored by THE MULTIDISCIPLINARY CENTER FOR THE STUDY OF AGING Commission announced that it has transmitted its determination to the Chief Judge of the Court of Appeals as well as to the named justices. The four censored judges are Roy J. Burley, Monroe County; Karl Griebsch, Franklin County: Edwin W. Stanford, Albany County; and Vincent P. Scholl of Oneida County. Admonished was George Baroody, a justice from Ontario County. All the judges were charged with “improper assertion of influence in traffic cases” commonly called ticket fixing. The judges, the Commission decided, had helped friends gain either reduced charges or special considerations. Since last summer increased attention has been targeted at admonishing such practice. Under State law, a judge may either accept the Commission’s determination or, within 30 days, submit a written request for review to the Chief Judge. Should the judge accept the determination, or fail to respond, the Commission will censure of admonish him in accordance with its determination. If a Commission determination is reviewed by the Court of Appeals, the Court may accept or reject the sanction, impose a different sanction, censure or remove the party (parties) concerned, or impose no sanction at all.

Parker EditOTzin-ChitJ A joint graduate and undergraduate student preliminary report Friday, scathing Ketter-and highlighting many of the Pressident’s interactions with students in the past. Divided into three section —administrative leadership, academic leadership, and relationship with students—the document states that its purpose “is to provide the University community with an assessment of President Ketter’s tenure. and to acquaint them with the issues before they cast their votes in the referendum on November 6th and 7th.” But the four committee members—including SA President Joel Mayersohn, GSA President Joyce Pinn, University Council representative Michael Pierce, and Sub Board’s Don Bcrey— wrote a document heavily skewed against Ketter. Six days from today, the three-percon presidential government committee released a . . evaluation team- will visit campus. As the on-site judgement days approach, the undergraduate and graduate student governments are preparing to tell this external committee what they believe student sentiment is surrounding University President Robert L. Ketter. If the Student Association (SA) and Graduate Student Association (GSA) follow the path they have cleared, then Ketter will receive anything but a positive evaluation from the student governments. “The report accurately reflects many of the President’s dealings with students,” said Mayersohn. “It is very negative because Dr. Ketter’s relationship with students in the past has been far from positive.” The committee was organized over the summer and since then, student leaders have been collecting information, reviewing Ketter’s past, and carefully debating the role of a campus president. “The Ketter administration has attempted to remove itself from responsibility and spread the blame on —continued on page 14— GSA calls Ketter’s efforts insufficient by Elena Cacavas exhibited some confusion over the responsibilities aligned with the presidential post. The report was designed with particular emphasis on Ketter’s relations with the graduate student community, but also with an eye toward his overall leadership at UB. Although the statement was drawn up within the prescribed one week deadline, its content will not be discussed until the GSA’s November 14 meeting—missing the University-wide referendum News Editor I (Ji (CT-Tt i P — GSA President Joyce Finn said that discussion of the ad hoc committee’s analysis of Ketter after the referendum and evaluation team’s visit, posed “no problem.” She added that she prefers that graduate students vote according to their own sentiments. The report is intended to give students some idea of what the President has and has not accomplished, not to serve as a statement on how people should vote. “The primary concern,” said committee member William Janssen, “is that this not be taken as a position paper. It was meant to provide an analysis, not an opinion.” Fellow committee member Melissa Ann Steuer said the findings are meant to present some facts many don’t know about “Issues we’ve been screaming about for years.” She questioned the President’s motivation and said problems are still here, but no one is looking at them. Steuer, however, gave Ketter credit for his forthright . .

A Graduate Student Association (GSA) Ad Hoc committee made no “recommendation” in its evaluation of University President Robert L. Kctter, but concluded that his efforts have been “misdirected, insufficient or belated.” An offspring of the GSA Senate’s October 24 meeting, the committee was formed after graduate students (November 6-7) by about one week and the outside evaluation team’s visit (November 11-13) by only days. The committee designated three broad topics by which to evaluate the President’s performance: his use of authority vested in him to best serve graduate students apd theUniversity; his efforts to k&p aware of the needs and actions of subordinate levels; and his adequacy in ensuring the future of —continued on page 14— opinion factsnot Report gives . oc statement that significant non-support from University constituents —evidenced through ihe referendum and various polls—would not necessarily change his intention to stay President. “It’s typical of Ketter,” said Steuer, “but that’s a plus. He has always been straight forward and he wants to make as little trouble as possible. He has no problem making qualms with regard to students,” Janssen supported Steuer’s position . “Ketter’s actions have to be viewed in light of his own situation. He could not have really given any other answer with the circumstances as they were.” . EARN DOLLARS . in your spare time!

The entire proceedings, which lasted about an houri had predominately a local emphasis. Delivering a standard campaign speech, centering on energy and the American spirit, he was nonetheless able to excite the crowd with his personal magnetism. Kennedy’s entrance alone generated enthusiasm among the rather welldressed, older group, many of whom stood in the foyer. In town, officially, to support the Democratic candidate for County Executive Frank McGuire, the Senator’s speech carried obvious political overtones for his Presidential campaign, due to be officially announced Wednesday. He referred to his announcement when he said, “I want no surprise about what my declaration will be,” bringing the crowd to its feet. Kennedy, smiling and waving to the crowd, attacked the Carter administration’s Windfall Profits tax, which he said does not go far enough. He called on Carter to accept only a 50 percent rate of oil profits return to the corporations, rather than previously okayed legialtion allowing the oil companies to keep most of their profits. “Thtre’s an old New England story,” the Senator told the audience, “that you don’t give the horse the sugar before you get him in the barn,” chiding Carter’s decision to decontrol prices while at the same time supporting a windfall profits tax. Hecklers Kennedy termed inflation the number one problem in the in large part, by the decision country, and said it was caused, to decontrol—which he said “put the American economy through the ringer.” Trying to garner potential grass roots support for his campaign, the Massachusetts’ Democrat termed the cost and availability of heating oil “outrageous.” Interrupted several times by hecklers, Kennedy attempted early in his address to win the crowd over with references to yesterday’s football game. “The real reason I came to Buffalo,” he jolgMl, “was to find out if the Bills could beat the Patriots.” Thpcrowd roared its apporval. Kennedy qultftly turned his attention to the energy issue, calling for a national energy policy that could achieve an “equitable sharing of burdens” by the different regions of the country. He atteked the large oil companies, preferring to see the profits transferred to the taxpayers pockets, a theme he stressed throughout his one-hour appearance at the Convention CCTirer. Prepping for what House Speaker Tip O’Neil termed an “S.O.B. of a campaign,” he called for leadership “willing to FAMOUS FACES: Erl* County Democratic Chairman Joaaph Crangta, Senator Ted Kennedy and Democratic candidata lor County Exacullva Frank McOuIr* confer on Important matters Saturday. roll up their sleeves to put the country back to work.” He said he was tired of hearing about apathy and the country’s malaise, an obvious reference to Carter’s speeches on the crisis of confidence in America. In an attempt to appeal to blacks and organized labor, Crangle had Assemblyman Arthur O. Eve and a United Auto Workers’ representative give speeches. The dias, however, was domonated by Democtratic candidates for the various county and city posts. Mayor Jimmy Griffin was present, but his presence was not acknowledged by Crangle, an obvious Good friend He delivered a patriotic cry, often invoking examples from the Revolution, calling on the people to “light the same bonfire in 1980.” He implied that he would be able to provide the necessary “caU to action” that would light these bonfires. McGuire’s speech echoed what he has said throughout his hard-fought campaign for County Executive, stressing the need to decrease uhemployment with a more vigorous county government and better ledership. The crowd, however, was saving its enthusiasm for the main attraction, Kennedy. Erie County Democratic Chairman Joseph Crangle, who introduced the Senator, invoked memories of Kennedy’s brothers, John and Robert, and their campaigns in Erie County. Crangle, who is a Carter supporter, heaped praise on the Senator in his introductory remarks, calling him a “great world figure,” and a “good, good friend of Erie County.” political slap. The crowd on hand to see Kennedy was mainly white and well dressed, despite massive publicity, inviting everyone. McGuire, for whom the rally was held, needs to garner greater black and lower-income groups’ support to beat incumbant Republican Edward Rutkowski. The Kenedy forces were out, selling buttons, passing out placards to the crowd, which Crangle estimated at 10,000; other estimates placed this figure at around 5000. The entire rally took on more of a “Kennedy for President” affair than a get out the vote get-together for Erie County candidates. Kennedy promised to return to Erie County again to talk about the future of the country, the direction in which it is headed and his visions in the same friendly, down home style that he attempted to portray throughout his brief remarks. -BPilPBr- Faculty Staff Students VOTE - - UNIVERSITY WIDE REFERENDUM November 6th and 7th 9:00 am 9:00 pm at the following locations: - SQUIRE CENTER LOUNGE NORTON CAFETERIA STUDENT CLUB GOVERNORS LEHMAN HALL RIDGE LEA - Here is your chance to voice your opinion on Dr. Ketter’s performance as president of this university.

Nov. 7 from 2-5 pm Thursday, Nov. 8 from 1-5 pm Environmental Editor President Carter’s proposed energy plan lat July to “seize control again of our common destiny,” has been seen by many Congressmen and political observers as a calculated move. Carter’s desire to appear a strong leader was seen as a move to implement the plan—even without a strong basis. Skeptics are now concerned that Congress will pass a bill that is somewhat different from Carter’s original plan. The plan would pump over $88 billion to promoting “synfucls”— the man-made derivation of oil and gas from coal, tar sands, and shale rock. Critics see the plan as a tardy attempt to relieve the nation of foreign oil dependence, as well as endangering prime Western farmland and scarce water supplies. Feasible or not, Carter’s three major proposals are undergoing serious deliberation in Congress. Six different committees are handling the basic intiatives: an oil windfall profits tax to finance synfuel development, an energy security corportion to disburse an expected $88 billion, and an Energy Mobilization Board (EMB) to speed up crucial energy projects by : / cutting “rod tape.” Overriding authority * , The proposals are all fraught with controversy, but the Mobilization Board especially has provoked dire warnings from environmentalists. The Board would consist of three President-appointed members capable of overriding all Federal law, in effect, the bulk of environmental legislation sprouted in the last decadfc. The Board could simply waive those laws, which many contend are inadequate as they stand now. Giving the EMB ultimate authority for approving controversial projects could set “an extremely dangerous precedent,” according to Sierra Club lobbyist Drew Diehl. Diehl said that all citizens, not merely environmentalists, should be alarmed at the bold legal precedent. The EMB “represents a significant threat to the American system of government,” he told The Spectrum. The Washington lobbyist explained that Amnerica was founded on the theory that no one is above the due process of law. The Board, however, would set questionable synfuel projects above customary public review. Ironically, enviromentalists have relied on strong government to battle big business. But they see the Board as the path to environmental and social disaster. The Board’s overriding power toward state and local law constitutes another political concern, Diehl said. Although EMB could not waive existing local law, it could ignore future laws. Once a project got underway merely in the decisional phase, Diehl warned, a municipality would be powerless to stop it. Republicans known for advocating local government generally distrust strong Federal authority. Thus, they have found themselves aligned with many of the Democrats they so often oppose in bitter political battles. Many state and local governments also opposed the Board’s power, supporting a substitue bill by Congressman Morris Udall. But Udall’s bill, limiting the Board’s discretion, was defeated by a close 215—192 House vote. The final bill was approved by a more convincing 3:1 margin, indicating that most Congressmen wish to apopear actively involved in achieving the nation’s energy goals. Another sweeping proposal induced rare alliance between businessmen and environmentalists. Both groups, including the American Petroleum Institute and the National Wildlife Federation, generally oppose the Energy Security Corporation, which would also be immune from the usual checks and balances. Industry fears the precedent set by a major public corporation assuming an energy-producing role. Oil men prefer tax incentives for private industry to spur domestic oil development. Environmentalists oppose the unit because of detrimental environmental impacts from synfuel development. Some perceive a conflict of interest among the agency’s directors —who would be allowed to invest in projects they review for environmental - impacts. The entire progam hinges on the oil windfall profits tax, which oil producers claim will discourage domestic exploration. The Senate Finance Committee is making exemptions to particular oil development —such as Alaskan oil and small wells—that would be taxed. Carter’s original expectation of $140 billion has been scaled down considerably, jeopardizing the entire energy plan. For some, however, the plan’s impotence would be a blessing in disguise. t �Arts and Letters extends scope in battle for students by Joe Simon Campus Editor ■ V ’ V, “not just to broaden our enrollments, but to bridge the education between —fix. V Faculties.” ft*+*•" I ’ ■ i V • Resembling a third-place network vying for rival celebrities to appear oq * Interpret RcaUty its shows, the Faculty of Arts and Letters hai begun offering courses, specifically designed to attract Engineering, Health Science anq Management students. r Realizing the effe&s.of Us “limited clientele.** ns Associate Professor of Art Alan Birnholz termed it. Arts and Letters has .gone to where the students are to attract more enrol lees. An overwhelming majority of UB undergraduates are concentrated in profession-oriented areas, and to interest these students Arts and Letters has developed courses linking the . Humanities to business, science and medicine. In the television business, ratings ultimately determine company profits. At UB, a Faculty’s enrollment is the criteria used for fixing budget allocations: the higher the enrollment, the increased number of Full Time Equivalents (FTE) (the Nielson ratings of education) and consequently more money to work with the following year. Arts and Letters has suffered decreased enrollments throughout most of this decade spiralling into repeated budget cuts. V, . jk .-* \ Last Spring, a “nifty lecture series.” as Bunn described it, was given for credit and planned with Engineering students in mind. Subjects dealt with computer musci, mental stresses involved with ' sculpturing, and communication studies. “Our objective is to make up the limitations that we see in students from both Faculties,” he said. Although no formal edict was handed down from Levine to develop courses for non-major;, faculty members were briefed on his ideas. “He never said you must do this or you must do that. He simply made suggestions,” Carrithers said. Acording to Dudley from Modern Languages, ‘Tve been involved with these developments for a while, and they just happened to coincide with Levine’s feelings.” Director of Undergraduate Studies for the English Department Max Wickert warned that Arts and Letters must not go too far in trying to attract profession-minded students. “When you start designing courses call ‘English and Nursing’ and ‘English and Management,’ they tend to be very, very disappointing and very, very boring.” Carrithers explained that his philosophy for instruction English majors and all others is the same—to teach them “how to interprest reality and how to interpret themselves.” - , . Enrollment situation According to English Department Chairman Letters has not been ignorant to the needs of career-minded students in the. past, but has* simply been-giving them qiore attention in recent years. “These new developments we see are not radical departures, but adjustments in degree,” he explained. Carrithers indicated that his Department first started offering courses geared for non-majors about six years ago, “As the number of English majors has dwindled, we’ve become more conscious of the vocational anxiety of our undergraduate students,” he said. While admitting that enrollment declines have been one reason for the' new courses, another he said, has been to “reaffirm the connection and collegiallity” between Faculties. Ai V Birnholz, agreeing with Carrithers that interaction between Faculties is a prime concern, explained that the shrinking number of students taking Arts;» and Letters coursespipmpted the new offerings. “To be very frank* it’s the enrollment situation,” he said. “No one likes teaching empty classrooms. Next semester, Birnholz will be co-teaching a 100-level course entitle, g “Science in Literature and Art,” ' which he described “basically for-Sj students outside of Arts and Letters.” The class, previously taught in* Sprmg 1978, shows how the development of science and technology has';, ' ' had an impact on literature and the arts. 1- Gale Carrithers, Arts and English Dapt.

Stress on the relationship between the two, Dudley said, has been an increasing educational trend after a slight lull near the end of . , „• ■ ■ Presently, Modern Languages is offering several different courses geared towards Management and Medical students. At the undergraduate level, subjects such as “Business Spanish” and “Business Italian” are taught, whilfe a graduate program in “international Business” is being devised. A course that Dudley described as “using the image of (he businessman in the novel” is also offered this semester, with future plans for a class entitle, “Literature and Medical Thought.” Dean of the Faculty of Arts and Letters George Levine, and Associate Professor of English James Bunn, teach a course called, “Discovery and Confirmation.” Designed to explore the idea of discovery and how it is different and similar in both science and the arts, the 25 member class has Engineering majors.

But the $400,000 worth of equipment has no service contract and only a skeleton crew to operate it. “The learning system will be jeopardized as of January 1980 if money is not made available for continuous maintenance of the technical components and student tape desks,’’ warned Director of the Language and Learning Lab Richard Loew. He expects student demand £pr the Lab’s services to increase dramatically over the next few years. Loew noted that a large enrollment in introductory language courses as well as the move of language courses to the Amherst campus has increased demand forthe Lab’s services. There was a similar lab on Main Street Campus but it too has been phased to the Amherst Campus. Loew also anticipates increased need for the Lab if the proposed General Education Program is Mid-term grades Fredonia sets example implemented.

Quite a bit shy The Lab requested $63,000 for this year’s budget, but received only $13,000 —which Loew termed “totally inadequate.” He said that the University of California, of similar size and range of equipment, receives an annual budget of $200,000. “It (the budget) was quite a bit shy of what they requested,” admitted Assistant Vice President of Academic Affairs Voldmar Innus. Innus explained that Albany had not given the University any extra resources for theLab and so the money had to be taken from the existing pool of funds for all of Academic Affairs.

Rowland told FredOnia’s student newspaper, The Leader that midsemester grading is “an important step in fulfilling the responsibility of the Academic Affairs Department.” The system is “basically set up to let the student know how he’s doing at the midpoint of the semester,” he said. , __ ON SPECIAL PROMOTION DAYS November 8, 1979, at 7:80 p.m. | Mid-term grades will be issued at the State University College at Fredonia for the first time this semester, but the likelihood of a similar plan at this University is unclear. “1 will bring it up at the next meeting and see what the others think of it,” Faculty Senate Grading Committee member Steven Cavior said. The suggestion will most likely be based on Fredonia’s system where grades only serve in an advisory capacity. Plans call for copies of the grades to be sent to students, advisors and Vice President of Academic Affairs J. Carter Rowland. They will not, however, be placed on transcripts or in permanent files. Rowland told The Spectrum he will only receive a copy of the grades this semester —but not next—“to allow (hipt) to monitor the system to get a sense of how it’s working.” He added his copy will be destroyed after his review. The system allows an instructor to issue an “X” if he does not have a specific grade for a student.

International Edition V Spectrum HE FOR A son of Buffalo returns! being by James Manning ' Less supportive Four members (of UB six member committee) contacted by The Spectrum believe the idea’s primary basis —instructor-student throughout contact the semester, —is sound. However, the members were considerably less supportive when its actual form was “I think students should be informed of their standing, and not just at the end of the semester,” committee member Madeline Kennedy said. “(But) it should be by personal contact, with the professor discussing the student’s problems, if there are any,” she added. “I don’t know about sending out grades.” But committee member Gerald Goldhaber, while enthusiastic cautioned: “We’re obviously talking about an expense. Changes on the computer, new records being created and stored, postage, possible doubling and tripling paperwork; all of which require funding.” He also'pointed out that it “forces the teacher into a measuring process by the middle of the term.” The suggestion may additionally receive a negative reation from UB professors. Associate Professor of Political Science Terry Nardin noted, “It wouldn’t bp too difficult to work out,” but felt it not necessary. He added, “I think it’s a poor idea. I think a student should know how he’s doing, but 1 think that mid-semester grades aren’t the way to do it.” The Student Association constituents, however, has a different view. “I think it’s (midterm grading) a great idea,” SA Director of Academic Affairs Judiann Carmack said. “Professors might give more work by the middle of the term, but it is to the student’s benefit. It would spread the work more evenly through the semester,” she added. Carmack explained that midterm grades would allow a student to evaluate his own position in a course. “The B student would have a chance to work for an A and the C, D and F students could be encouraged to see the instructor,” she asserted. �Developing character as well as skill at the heart of Gen Ed Editor’s note: Tomorrow, the Faculty Senate will vote on the proposed General Education Program. Below, the Associate Dean of Undergraduate Education and member of the General Education Committee explains why General Education is vital to the University. by David Tarbel are things that the university docs well. This university is prepared to take able students, who, entering as freshmen, may leave as practicing researchers or qualified professionals. But the process, even while achieving its goals, creates problems. The first is isolation. Disciplinary and professional specialization necessarily excludes a broad understanding of other subjects and approaches to knowledge. The usual correction to the limits of a specialty is the establishment of a distribution requirement. Such a proposal is part of the General Education Program soon to be considered by the Faculty Senate;The currently training “We arc perpetually moralists, but we are geometricians only by chance. Our intercourse with intellectual nature is necessary; our speculations upon matter are voluntary one man may know another half his life without being able to estimate his skill in hydrostaticks or astronomy; but his inadequate distribution moral and prudential character requirement will be replaced by a immediately appears.” This is part requirement that undergraduate of Samuel Johnson’s 1779 students study in six “knowledge argument against John Milton’s areas.” There will be adjustments curricular reforms. A century for professional programs, and earlier, Milton had formed an students will be exempted from academy that partially replaced the study in the area in which they study of classical language and major, but all undergraduates will literature with mathematics and be expected to take courses that ask science. Despite its commanding air them to become familiar with the and Johnson’s adoption of the range of studies available in the crushing commonplace—presuming university. They will study history that his observation is so evident no and philosophy as a means of one could oppose it—his salvo wks reflecting and testing the actual nature of human experience. Students will be introduced to science and its applications in the fields of both natural and life sciences. They will take courses using the methods of the social sciences. The program will include the study of literature and the appreciation of the fine and 3 performing arts. The sixth area epitomizes the purpose of all the others in that it asks students to avoid provincialism by studying a foreign language or culture. . . . SPinie a shot back over the shoulder for an idea in retreat. The modern university has come to talk much more about “hydrostaticks,” astronomy and related subjects than about morality. We speculate more on matter than prudence. The study of language and literature now assumes methods and approaches adopted from the sciences. And we are less likely to think of ourselves as “perpetually moralists,” than to identify that interest with a major in philosophy. Of course, what Samuel Johnson chooses to ignore in his argument is science as a general method in the search for truth. He confounds technical specialization with a commitment to scientific method. And this mistake explains why, on curricular questions, history has ruled against him. Modern scientific method has, since the renaissance, produced remarkable progress and change. Nor serious program of education could affort to have students unaware of the value, nature and procedures of science. Extending knowledge But when science as a general method comes to be applied to a particular subject, it does result in concentration and specialization. And the successful organization of scientific research has been reflected in the structure of the university. Departments and subspecialties are identified with extending knowledge in their fields. The professional schools then continue and apply this research to public needs by equipping doctors, lawyers, managers, dentists, engineers el aI with the knowledge they need to pursue their professions. Advanced research and the provision of professional I analysis, courage, and honesty. Whether or not we have these qualities and capacities will, as Johnson says, “immediately appear.” They will be part of character and ability as well as information and skill. Where they will arise and how they will be cultivated is the most serious question of undergraduate education. It will be the aim of all General Education courses to encourage these abilities. Character survives memory. Long after students may have forgotten the contents of a course, they will, if it is a good course, preserve what they learned about addressing problems and continue the ability to criticize, analyze and discover. In addition to the mastery of a subject, there are common qualities of mind and personality that should distinguish those who are fully educated: the ability to think and communicate effectively, the *■£capacity to mike informed judgments, to discriminate among values, and to appreciate aesthetic experiences. This is what Johnson wants to recognize—-common, requirement of the program. evident personal values that, Students, in fulfilling their especially in a democracy, are not “knowledge area” requirement, luxuries or isolated special skills, will be asked to take three “theme” but the necessary characteristics of courses.

The modem American university is diverse, complex, energetic. It has providing succeeded in opportunities for disciplinary mastery and professional competence. History has confirmed Milton’s reform. But we have another question to answer: whether we have provided an equal chance to fulfill Sam Johnson’s challenge to develop character as well as skill. Strength and discovery Knowledge area courses will not be able to answer their purposes if they are not of a certain kind. They must be able to present the essential elements of a discipline or practice to those riot planning to specialize in the discipline. Thus, they require that instructors treat central issues, and that departments provide courses that explain the approach to knowledge characteristic of the discipline. Besides the invigorating effect on teaching, there is another clear advantage to students who follow this program at the university. Some students arrive knowing their strengths. They will them better by develop understanding the context and limits of what they want to study. Those who are less certain, will find the General Education Program the way to discover where their strengths exist, or whether they want to change their major area of study. The second problem of specialization is more complex, more difficult, and, hence, more interesting. It occurs at a special moment when a method or technique fails. One one level it is when theories of light or space, ideas of the nature of life, or the definition of death appear contradictory or controversial. On another, it occurs when the application of scientific research produces practical and political problems such as those concerning the wisdom of genetic research or the safety of nuclear power generation. These are moments in which more knowledge or refined procedures are not the answer. What is needed is not more information, but what Samuel Johnson calls “moral and prudential character.” To reconcile conflicting theories requires independence, vision, creativity; the action is more like creation in the arts and the discpvery of new forms, to face questions of the limits and proper use of technology requires habits of dispassionate ON LEATHER BOOTS Regular $65.00, now just $32,.50.

The Student Association has purchased series tickets from the Studio Arena Theatre. Many activities programmed on campus are geared to music and beer lovers. Attendance Is usually large, and people have a good time. But quite often, students who are not into the "party scene get excluded. There is a need for alternative activities to till this gap. The Student Activities Task Force is planning large events for next semester, but Is also programming more cultural and educational awareness activities through the use of seminars, workshops and bus trips. An effort has been made by the Student Association to offer theatergoers a tremendous subsidy on tickets. The plays wlH simply blow you away.

Kross Kultural Casualties by Robbie Cohen The article on Friday about the bus extension program stated that a bus extension would protect women walking home from campus after dark. While a bus, making a regular route off campus would be great for convenience, It wouldn't protect women. It wouldn’t do a woman muqh good, if (for example) she were dropped off at the corner of Lisbon and Comstock, only to walk three blocks down Lisbon by herself. Only door to door service, such as the Anti-Rape Task Force is now trying to provide, will protect women. Even so, with the number of sexual assaults increasing both on and off campus (some even during the daylight hours) it is important for women to learn when they are in a potentially dangerous situation, and how to get out of It. Managing Editor ' NO, A pair of swarthy black earthenware Chinamen sat on the walnut t9p c of an ancient 21 inch diagonal, smiling moronically out into space. One of the funny men grasped $ corrugated rectangular box, a crosshatch of tiny earthenware nuggets, that to my perplexed mind would always be a gift package of Barracini chocolate candies. The brothers irked me. Because beneath that stupid grin of theirs, they seemed to know something basic and profound about the paradoxes of life that I failed to grasp. And what's more they Were gloating about it. I was at once fascinated and hateful of those two spiteful bastards. More than a Couple of times, I felt the urge to rouse them from their comfortable porch and smash their haughty impunity into a thousand fragments on the hard Astoria pavement seven feet below the rattling living< room window. But of course I never could do such a violent thing. The brothers weren't mine to judge or destroy. They had journled 8000 miles over the broad ocean from Honshu, Japan in a proud steel-hulled naval vessel that helped win a war to preserve democracy against the onslaught of fascist aggressors. They like my father who transported them, and my octegenarian grandfather who had fled the Cossack pogroms of the Ukraine 65 years before to conceive the first of a new American-born generation, were resilient survivors. Only the pair of inanimate arrogant bastards would likely outlast us all. I watch my slumbering grandfather, as his chest heaved spasmodically in and out, in raspy gasps. My father sat across the room and smiled affectionately at my grandfather and then at me. I acknowledged him momentarily and then returned Into my own musing world, this room of yellowing dusty memorabilia. There was no conversation. The only noise that filtered in was the sing-songy voices of children horsing around in the back courtyard. On the side of the room opposite the television sat a large mahogony bureau with two straw screened doors at the left and right ends. Inside the left door was a tattered blue cardboard box, containing scores of photographs from my father’s childhood and Navy days. That box was a coveted vicarious dream world for me. The pictures of my young grandfather taken upon his arrival in America, my spunky teenage father posing with his Navy buddies on deck, and another with him, stoop .sitting with his childhood friends in front of a Lower East Side tenement were a portal to a world that not only did I want to know, but that I desperately and illogically wished I could be a part of. Th6 room was a wealth of contemplative touchstones. It was all stasis. The sofas, the chairs, the TV, the wall paintings and the inhabitants were same place. And each item could spin out a special historical anecdote. It was a harmony of the aged and aging, always a source of wonder, at least to , , , ,i the growing up pr youthful. My grandfather's sparsely cowered head sunk to one side, his parched venuous hand slid over the stained vinyl armrest and knocked over the Yiddish language always in the - newspaper that had lulled him to sleep 15 minutes before. My father rose from the sofa and retrieved the bundle of yellowed pages with their cryptic arabesque Hebrew characters. What news was in this newspaper, It certainly had nothing about the Mets’ win over Chicago the previous night. I hadn’t the faintest idea what a newspaper like this Jewish Daily Forward would have to say. All I was sure of was that this publication's days were numbered, old men like my grandfather were fading away and soon there would be no one to edit or read this anachronism of immigrant Jews. They and their language were destined to disappear, and to carry on would be their assimilated second, third and fourth generation seed, most of whom would forget their great grandfathers struggling history, their poverty and old world ethics. Men like my grandfather, made the pilgrimage to America, the land of golden-paved sidewalks, fighting through the swarms of fleeing humanity at Ellis Island, their life’s belongings on their backs and in their hands, to forge a new life of hope and opportunity for their sons and daughters. And fighting tooth and nail they succeeded, in bequeathing an exceedingly comfortable existence to their well-nourished, well-clothed, and largely well-educated progeny. Many of them now live In functional two car garage suburban homes, with central air conditioning and heating and intercom systems and beloved pedigree pets. Some of them may still go to temple on the Sabbath (well, more likely just the high holidays) but their God is no longer the simple virtues and the wrathful Old Testament deity, but the perpetual pursuit of material happiness; the almighty dollar* And their handsome sons and daughters, third and fourth generations, dress in Sassoon Jeans and Fiorucci tops, and drive sleek Z-280s and go to prestigious universities. And they turn a deaf ear to their grandfather's and father's reminders that at one time things weren't so easy, and that if Hitler had had his way they wouldn’t have even been here. The younger generation detests guilt trips, what happened 40 years ago has nothing to do with their world. And if some old codger of pointy-headed paternal intellectual calls them hedonists or narcissists, they won't hear it. It’s hopeless they’re too set in their philistine and bourgeois ways. Ellis Island is an empty husk of a building. And the two fat Chinamen still sit crosslegged 350 miles away, smiling knowingly as I sip my beer at CPG. �feedback Journalistic integrity i Communication where’s the problem? — To the Editor: While reading the October 26 The Spectrum, I came across the article about the Royals volleyball team. Accompanying the article was photograph that was implied to be taken at the match. What I would like to know Is how a picture was taken last week during a match with someone wearing the Royals’ old uniforms? It is little Items like this that makes inroads Into the Integrity of The Spectrum. If you do not have a photograph from an event do not run one from another event In the past. How about some honesty in s' Journalism? To the Editor: . Ronald Balter How come you did not put anything In the paper about the women's field hockey team which finished second In the New York State Championships last P.S. weekend? ' We care To the Editor: In his letter to the editor {The Spectrum, October 19, 1970), Steven Klrschner writes that he Is “now at UB.” It shows. His assertion that EOP seems to have "sink or swim attitude toward Its students” has no basis in fact. On the contrary, the concern of this staff for the wellbeing and success of EOP students can be seen In many ways: (a) competent and sensitive counseling staff offering academic advisement, personal, social and vocational counseling; a comprehensive tutorial program; an educationally sound cooperative program with the Learning Center offering developmental courses in several subject areas; a network of communications and Individualized counseling offering assistance on financial aid matters; an orientation program that extends beyond universitywide orientation.These are some manifestation of our effort?. Mr. Klrshner is to be commended for his concern referenced to the quality of student life here. That is a first step in the right direction. He is uninformed about EOP and incorrect In believing that no one here cares. Edward S. Jenkins Director, EOP Jackson anti-semite To the Editor: Overcome”, Rev. Jackson surely proved his intent (beyond words). In response to Ms. Brenda Moore’s letter on November 2 concerning Rev. Jesse Jackson, we can only respond to her statement with the fact that Adolph Hitler, in his rise to power, never blatantly stated his dislike for the Jewish people, but actions speak louder than words, and this non-statement of intent led to the massacre of 6 million people. By meeting with the P.L.O. and singing “We Shall This issue, nevertheless, is very touchy. We ask-Ms. Moore to examine what Rev. Jackson has said In the past concerning Jews and Israel. She will then realize that he is indeed anti-Semitic. Barry Schwart, President, JSU Patty Kussoy, Director, Israel Information Centre I would like to make a few comments In response to Ms. Jane Steinberg’s letter (The Spectrum, Oct. 26) criticizing about the “lack of communication ability of (foreign) instructor." Her letter was not offensive, but was in fact racially demeaning. Ms. Steinberg obviously possesses a major deficiency in her knowledge of economics, especially in the area of social welfare. When one analyzes a problem, not only costs, but benefits should be taken into account. Clearly, she had Ignored this fact entirely. This University is comprised not only the undergraduate community, but also a substantial amount of graduate students. Education to both groups are equally important. For the past decades, foreign instructors had provided tremendous amount of intellectual stimulation, insights, and guidance in the frontier we are exploring. While there might have some language difficulties in communicating with a large undergraduate class, I see little if any reasons to maintain that this Is a waste of her money and the New York state taxpayers' money. For the information of all concerned, instruction is an academic requirement In many departments within the University at the graduate level. Thus, there are burdens to be borne in the case of poor instruction, regardless of the national origin of the Instructor. Likewise, try to imagine the costs of excluding talented foreign Instructors. In my department, (Economics), an instructor of Chinese origin (since M)f. Steinberg is particularly sensitive to ‘Chinese'), Professor Winston Chang has received accolades fof his teaching performance, not the least of which Awas the SUNY Chancellor's award for teaching e*$£)\ancs. Would you, Ms. Steinberg be willing to accept responsibility for the loss of such a talented individual via some "test of communications ability" subject to error? I personally have taught courses at this University and other local institutions, and have as yet to be accused of offering “Economics" as "Chinese 1” and so forth. I can sympathize with Ms. Steinberg's problem, but by the same token, I cannot condone her tacit are Implication that only foreign unintelligible, Inarticulate, and In general, useless In the classroom. Having been a student in Hong Kong, Wisconsin and New York, I have had first hand evidence of instructors of all nationalities whose ability to communicate was second to that of a rock. Yet, I have dealt with instructors whose abilities were virtually unsurpassed. Thus, I for one an assured that any disparity between an Instructor's native language and current Lingua Franca Is Independent of teaching £ inat/uctors Yum, yum To the Editor: Let’s applaud too loudly the departure of University's Plaza’s Super Duper. How quickly we forget, while quibbling over trivial matters such as prices and fresh produce, that this store offered the best and freshest selection of Head Cheese in the city, both of the sweet and sour varieties. Head Cheese, considered by many (including this writer) to be the greatest 'food for thought' available, is a delicious concoction comprisod of Hog's snouts and bits of celery and carrots that float serenely amidst a sticky tranldscent gelatine gotten from the actual brains of hogs. We can now only wait and hope that the new grocery store to replace Super Ouper does not forsake us in this matter. What a sad Thanksgiving It would be Without a good thick slab of sour head cheese. Peter Howard ability. I think that Ms. Steinberg owes not only the foreign students, but the entire university an apology for her remarks. Sek Hong Lai $.49 meaner than a .38 To the Editor: With reference to arming campus police, The Spectrum 26 Oct., p. 4. The very idea of arming campus police is repugnant; moreover, it violates the nature of the university. While we are not a reclusive "ivory tower”, we are a citadel of earnest learners, serious scholarshlpers, dedicated pragmatists and scrappy footballers. We are, after all, at the very apex of the hupian triangle (bordered by Bailey, Main and Wlnspear), and fortunately, we recognize tKls lofty status. Beyond these pressured borders sprawls the rest of the world: a sordid, foul polluted beast to all will go, to serve, at some time, in a noble fashion. To arm, then, these campus police would constitute the first step toward breaking down that sacred boundry. Such an act would symbolize an encroachment of the beast onto the very playground of those who are destined to tame the beast. A university is a university. Therefore, police with guns are not allowed; crime, by definition, does not belong; assaults with the Intent of spoiling or tampering with feminine attributes are not part of our heritage. We shall not relent! Guns on this campus, fellow scholars, noble strivers, fearless bookworms, is a no-no. Furthermore, It we look closely at these policemen, it becomes evident why they should not have weapons. Obviously, they are a collection of the most idiotic, stupid, clumsy, toad-headed, red-necked yahoos that one could hope to gather. And don't be led astray by the fact that they have gone to school for two years in “police science!” Does that mean they can handle a gun? Emphatically, we reply, “no way!” Putting guns In their simple hands would be as dangerous and wrong, on our parts, as placing matches in the hands of babes. One look at them and any trained eye could see they would never even pass Freshman English. I shutter to think of it. Indeed, I often wonder why we have them around at all. Just the other day a somewhat deranged soul assailed two students who turned, however, upon their assailant and valiantly defeated his questionable motives. Why they weren't able to completely subdue the villain (he got away when they ran away) is beyond me. If the female involved would have just slammed the nefarious perpetrator in the you-know-what, we could have then strapped him to a pillar in Squire Hall as an example of what happens when, in the colloquialism of the day, you F with a student! If Mr. Bruce Cronin would have been there, we'd have had our man. Mr. Cronin would have got him in the you-know-what. In any case, these two students are examples of the fearless nobility instilled in them by their contact with the university. Now we have heard all the usual stories about assaulted victims screaming for help that never comes. Be assured that the only reason it doesn't rests in the simple fact that no student heard the howl. Any student at this university, be definition, would immediately respond to such distress. And you less intrepid, queasy, disgustingly tremulous readers who dare to entertain the thought that a student would back down or run from some uneducated, half-witted slob, just because he had a gun, ought to drop out right now! There is not a student here who would mind strolling throught the campus between the hours of 11:00 p.m. and 7:00 a.m. It is only because we are all at our books at those hours that we don't. Before those weak-kneed cops raise the question of guns, they had best consider that they are fortunate in being here at all. One despairs at their Inability to listen to reason: If one carries a gun, then one will find trouble. Therefore, if one doesn't carry a gun, one will not find trouble. It is this devastating logic which could knock the breath out of anyone. Must we remind them, or fell them, that the pen is mightier than the sword; or, to translate for these yahoos, one $.49 Blc bail-point is meaner than a .38. Armed thusly, with this biting aphorism, villains fall by the wayside; and those gallants who haven’t tried it, do so. You will surely be surprised! ... A. N. Intantolino Staying with knowledge To the Editor: I am writing this editorial before it's too late. I am going to try to explain myself, using words, so that I'll always have a fond memory of those days when I cquld write; when I could use words to express my thoughts, feelings, and general knowledge. You see I have lust transferred to University of Buffalo and it has been required of me to take some of their one hundred level courses. So far all that has been required of me is a general knowledge of the subject, my social security number, and the ability to till in little dots with my number two pencil. I have been informed though, by many juniors and seniors that this isn’t the case In their level of studies. This comes as an inspiration to me, but also has me pondering over how the junior's and senior's are handling it. Perhaps their first two years they practiced their literary skills by writing home to mom. (I do also—at least once a year.) I really do feel sorry though, for those that are struggling now in their upper level course's and hope that I'm not a similar case. I have recently been informed of a committee on campus that is trying to establish more courses that require students doing papers; and I want them to know they have my prayers while they wade through the beauracratic bunk to establish this program. I also want it understood, for the record, that this letter is by no means a slant against any of my instructors. Quite the contrary. Since coming to U.B. I have obtained a good amount of knowledge from various courses. I just feel that perhaps with the option of an essay test a lot more of the material learned will stay with me. • Joseph C Huber �\ I UB soccer | Bulls put I pressure on I Oswego for I a shut-out | Intramural football Eight weeks ago 64 men’s intramural football squads set forth to earn one of 16 playoff spots—their highest ambition being to become the 1979 champions. Starting today these 16 teams vie for the championship as the postseason gets underway. All games will be played at 3 and 4 p.m. on Main Street’s Diefendorf and Acheson fields. “The fields out at Amherst have been trampled,” intramural coordinator John Pedersen explained. “The rain has washed the lines away—so we’ll have to play at Main St.” Within the next two weeks a champion will emerge, its name to be recognized and honored for posterity. All but four of the playoff slots had been decided before last week. The Beaver Patrol crushed the previously unruffled Gangrecne Greenics to take first place in the eight-team Governor’s league. The Patrol rolled to a 20-6 win and a playoff spot. The Panama Redskins were edged out of the post-season tournament when the Half Kegs upset them 14-0 in a thrilling defensive struggle. The Dog Logs ended up as runners-up in their division—to the Toxic Wastes—by virtue of their win over the Half Kegs earlier in the season. MASH sneaked into the playoffs by winning the very last game. They intercepted two crucial passes and went on to score both times in a 12-0 shutout over TKE. The first round games will feature: Pressure is an often used word in journalism. Pressure can cause a good team to choke in the clutch. Pressure can cause physical changes in a player, (Roger Maris went bald during his pursuit of Babe Ruth’s home run record). Pressure can result in heroics or lose sports championships. Wednesday, the UB soccer team exerted all kinds of pressure on Oswego. Offensive pressure put Buffalo up one goal, and defensive pressure kept the host Great Lakers (12-3) scoreless. UB’s Ray Eckert scored to remain the team’s leading scorer, while goaltender Mark Celeste set a team record for most career shut-outs. Roth coaches Sal Esposito and Norm Baker missed the game, so trainer Mike Rielly quickly received a promotion. His pre-game instructions consisted of “Win.” The Bulls’ offense controlled the pace most of the game, allowing the Lakers only one shot on goal during the first half. ' 0 At the 10-minute mark, UB’s Mike Marfjalkowski brought the ball down the stgjLwing, beating a defender. He passtk a hard, leftfooted cross to center, where Avni Cirpili “first-timed” it (a kick while the ball is still in the air), bouncing it off the Oswego goalie. Eckert then blasted the ball into the open right side. The Bulls continually applied home net for pressure around the remainder of the half. Buffalo sustained the scoring threats into the second half, eventually leaving the Great Lakers with nothing to show for their efforts. __ .

His seventh career shutout at UB passed Frank Daddario’s mark. “Celeste deserves it,” applauded Esposito. “He worked hard for it. And he’s only a junior.” Celested explained that “some shutouts are like a day off, like playing Canisius. Others are some of the worst times.” Jimmy DeVore, another player brought up from junior varsity, played a standout game, along with fellow defender Jim LaRue. LaRue was credited with the game’s most unusual play, deflecting a pass with his head while lying flat on his stomach. “I’ve had a stiff neck for two days after that play,” the fullback reports. Dwight fausz, a former Zip Strip defender, was moved up to halfback for this game, firing two shots wide Of the goals. Cirpili was thwarted by an excellent goalie dive, after he raced downfield on a breakaway. Going into the Brockport game yesterday Buffalo’s record stood at 6-7. Now matter how the season ends, LaRue summed up his feelings, “This is the first team that I’ve played on where I’ve enjoyed myself totally, in practice and during the games. I’ve found myself the “entire season with friends, not just teammates.” —Dan Holder playing Beaver Patrol vs. MASH, 3 p.m. Wesley W.B. vs. Gangrcene, 3 p.m. Paraplegics vs. Nimrods, 4 p.m. Tolchok II vs. Lamars, 4 p.m. i Intramural football deposits can be picked up at the conclusion of the playoffs. Due to a time conflict, the Tolchok I—Toxic Wastes match was played yesterday. just [HB more oint Quite a year Field Hockey coach Betty Dimmick had some harsh words for her players following two consecutive losses to Potsdam and St. Lawrence in late September. She blamed the setbacks on a lack of teamwork and conveyed the obvious—the Fall 1979 season was under way. Whether on the next day Dimmick instructed her squad to win one for the “ol gipper” or to get their act together is unknown, but in retrospect, whatever her words were, they sunk in with unsurpassed success. The Royals proceeded to rattle off seven victories in their final eight regular season games, earning a berth in the New York State Women’s Intercollegiate Athletic Association Tournament as tl\e sixth-seeded squad. Under Dimmick’s leadership, the Royals’ performance reached a peak, and had it not been for a 1-0 loss in the finals, they would have been State champions, aspiring them to roll on to regional and national tourneys. Not bad for a team that was almost ready to write off the season. • * * Although their season has not been completed, a hindsight look at the UB football team reveals what could have been. V Practice sessions during late summer bubbled with optimism, and a year that would end with a NCAA Division III playoff bid. After two games the dream was still alive, but it began to fade away as surely as the surgeon’s knife cut through a handful of starting players’ shattered knees. Despite early hopes and a 3-1 record after the first half of the season, the Bulls have drifted down to become a .500 team, capable of finishing at 5-4 only if they eliminate the fumbles and penalties that have plagued them all year. The Bulls’ less-than-banner year cannot be blamed on the players, the field or the coaches. Just as the defense had begun to establish a degree of cohesiveness, down went Larry Rothman, Kent Keating, Brian Schmidt and for a while, Frank Berrafato —main ingredients to what would have been a competitive year. Quarterback Jim Rodriguez is nowhere near reaching the recordbreaking passing marks he established last year, but it isn’t because his right arm has gone dead. In order to have passed with moderate success, Rodriguez needed a constant running game to back him up. Just as tailback Mark Maier began to emerge as a top-flight runner mid-way through the season, he also went out with an injury and is still questionable for the season finale next week at Alfred. Frank Price has survived the year unscathed, but his fleet-footed sidekick, Gary Quatrani, limped qjff the turf against Canisius and has yet to return to full health after a disabling knee injury. • h't.; x m Diamonds and Tiger Eye jewelry say something special to that special person in your life.

Although little is known of this year’s talent in both A and B Leagues, student supervisors are safely assuming that come next March, the most deserving teams will be competing in the playoff finals. On the basis of their initial games, the A League competition will be stiffer than ever. With only 10 teams entered, the squad with the most balance should come away the winner. Cora P. Maloney, Phenolbarbs and Hogan’s Heroes all earned decisive victories last week, smothering respective opponents, The Wimps, Poder and Son of Sam. Missing from this year’s schedule are last year’s A league winners. The Flying Cirus, but runners-up Phenol Barbs are ready to capture the crown. In order to do that, they must * tackle the league’s he-man squad—Hogan’s Heroes. The Heroes, led by Tom Hogan, are primarily made up of UB football players, and after a season of daily workouts should have no difficulty with the rigors of full-court basketball. Their 65-38 opening win in game one proves that. The B league, where the competiveness is secondary and a good time is the name of the game, has over 70 teams battling for the number one spot. These squads decided to become part of the less talented, less demanding hoop loop by their own choice. Skelter, which already exhibited its potent firepower in a 63-37 trouncing of So What’s Again.

A strong contender to Bell’s supremacy may be Helter Although one game should not be used to gauge the league’s talent, several clubs scored impressive victories to open the year’s competition. Trigger Happy rolled over Mandrachia, 66-20, and itfay well dominate the Wednesday 9:30 p.m. division this year. The division also includes Green Shirts and Ganja, other 1-0 squads. Tortfcasers scored more than twice as many points as Chcmo Kings in the opener, but may face stiff opposition from division opponent Them, 75-37 victors over Sig Eps. One of the most demanding tasks of assembling an- intramural team has to be the choosing of a nickname. As every year, some classic agnomens can be found among the current crop. Some are: Unemployed with Dignity, Gumming Tonite, Porter Trailboozers, T wang Herders, Buzzed and No Nukes. One group especially hit what all competitors will he trying for—Bull’s Eye. WNY Classic Second place greets Royals in tournament with final loss by Tony Petti Spectrum Slqjf State Writer Frustration and disgust were written ail over their faces when it was over. The UB volleyball Royals had soundly beaten every team they faced in Saturday’s WNY Classic held in Clark Gym, yet they went home in second place. A critical final loss to Buffalo State, a team they convincingly beat in the preliminaries, stole the team’s hopes for a successful home finale. Crucial player changes in the final match by Royals’ coach Peter Weinrich proved to be the deciding factor. Instead of playing the combination of starters that dominated action all day, Weinrich chose a squad made up of two starters and four second stringers. The Bengalettes took advantage of the weaker altered lineup to trample UB, 15-4. The Royals fared much better in the second game. The leadership and heads-up play of Joan Maitino blended with the aweinspiring defense of Wanda Mesmer to power UB to a relieving 15-5 victory. It looked as if the Royals would take the tournament in three games when they jumped out to a five-point lead. But Buffalo went back to their effective set and spike combination to chip away at UB’s lead. The Bengalettes used team blocking, sometimes using three players, to shut down the hosts’ offense and with a little help from Buffalo’s second string mistakes, they pulled a 15-13 win. “It backfired,” lamented Weinrich of substitution. “I figured the girls I put there would be good enough to win based on Buff State’s weak first match play. T1 didn’t, and by the time 1 should have gone with the starters it was too late to take anybody out.” Akemi Tsuji, the Royals’ standout offensive threat, was not exactly pleased with the outcome. “I don’t know what to say. We had a combination out there that was hot. I mean we were cooking,” she fumed. “I don’t know why he did it, what did he say? We could have won!” “We should have won,” Maitino added out Early success The Royals opened the tournament with straight game victories over Genesee, 15-10, 15-7.

They outplayed a weak and overmatched Canisius team in straight games, 15-7, 15-6. UB used fake spikes and switches to the extent that, at times, the Canisius team did not know where the ball was coming from. St. Bonaventure, the Royals’ third match opponent, looked to be the team that would give Buffalo trouble. The Brown Indians opened the match .with five straight points before a unified effort hy the Royals put the game out of reach. The second game was marred by sloppy play and looked to be Buffalo’s first loss of the day. But Mesmcr came alive, sparking the team with hustling defense. UB took the match, 15-8, 11-11. The first meeting with Buffalo State came next. The regular UB starting lineup played aggressively and unselfishly, leaving little for the Bengalettes to do but sit back and get beaten, 15-7, 15-1. Under the great disappointment of losing a tournament they should have won, the Royals mustered real class in presenting roses to senior Wanda Mesmer after her last home game.

"Although in his early years as President Dr.Ketter made good use of the -local press and public exposure, as of late his efforts in this direction have been insufficient,’’ the group claimed. “The University’s positive role in the community has not been adequately publicized.’’ “Students are shut-out because they have not been represented on all University committess.” The composition of the administration lends itself to communication breakdown. The titles have been changed for many of the top administrative positions but the same problems still exist.” “Dr. Ketter has only compounded this situation (unsettled campus conditions) by failing to remove the - FREE other times his use or non-use of that authority has been inconsistent with his stated policies and ideals.” His reputation as a watchdog of State funding for public institutions drew Ketter applause. The committee noted that he is the only SUNY president to come out publicly with, this "unpopular stand.” It additionally credited him with doing "as well as might be • report: Undergraduates in philosophy and related majors earn 30 32 credits in regular Sorbonne (Paris IV) courses.

However, this docs not preclude an effective development of our campus. A good leader must be able to work within defined parameters and use creativity, vision and meticulous planning to produce a good product.” But both student presidents believe Kctter’s “product”—His University—has not always benefittedstudents. Said Mayersohn, “The President through his academic decision-making has harmed undergraduate education here.” Pinn noted the overwhelming emphasis on faculty doing research and said,“It takes them out of the classroom.” Despite their sharp words, Mayersohn is not confident that the student report will significantly influence the evaluation committee. “There is no way of judging,” said Mayersohn, “to what extend student views will affect the evaluation process. Both student presidents plan to bring the joint report before their respective senates before it receives an official stamp of approval, “in this way,” explained Mayersohn, “the outside team can hopefully review a document supported by the elected and representative bodies of students at this University. ’ The following are some highlights of the 13 page SOR’ Wing .

And they were there to ask why Carey had approved a $15.3 million grant to build a domed football stadium at Syracuse University. One after the His utmost The signs they carried were catchy, but the meaning behind them was more pointed. “Where’s the care in Carey?” they asked. Others made statements: “UB—Left out in the cold, SU’s dome is SUNY’s doom. Public money for public schools, and Just a fair share”—all pleas for an end to the indifference UB students have felt from ceremony, Carey and ground both memories — Albany. But Carey’s answers did not please the Qownwr Hugh L. C«r»y 7 would do my utmost' to complete the Amnhersl Campus by Mark Meltzer Campus Editor The patch of earth he stood upon is since ravaged by bulldozers, but the memory of Hugh L. Carey’s visit here, one year later, is all too real. Carey could hardly have expected the reception he got on that breezy Friday afternoon last November 3 on the site that has now been blasted apart by construction crews. He came to Buffalo to participate in the groundbreaking ceremony that kicked off the construction of the city’s new Light Rail Rapid Transit System, a ceremony that was held a week early so the Governor could do a little last minute campaigning. But the 1100 angry students that met him wanted to hear answers, not campaign rhetoric. They were there to ask Hugh Carey why UB’s gym was a tired relic and why their Amherst campus was barely half finished. spirited crowd. The Governor said, “1 would do my utmost” to complete the Amherst Oynpus, to which the crowd immediately replied, “Bullshit, Bullshit.” One fist raising student quipped, “How much is an utmost?” The Governor called for wrestling coach Ed Michael, the “literary coach” who had attacked the Syracuse allocation in a letter, to come forward. The summons was answered by former Student Association (SA) President Karl Schwartz, who presented Carey with a huge admission ticket to Clark Hall, the University’s creaking, 41 year-old gymnasium. Carey said he’d been to the structure, which was designed for 3000 students. But, Senator Daniel Patrick Moynihan wandered across the Main Street Campus with a group of students for another look. Moynihan told that group that Clark Hall was much better than he had as a youth. “When I went to CCNY, we didn’t even have a gym,” he said. Carey lightened the mood outside when he JM' mispronounced President Robert Kettcr’s name. Suggesting that a meeting be set up to discuss SUNY priorities, Carey invited “your president, President Setter, right?” The crowd roared with laughter as Carey stumbled to correct himself and Ketter tried to hide his embarrassment. “OK, OK, President Kilter,” Carey said. The rally drew criticism in the local media, but garnered publicity as the top story on all three major television network evening news shows. The New York Times oddly, reported on the groundbreaking but did not even mention the demonstration. Community reaction to the rally depends on who you talk to, said Student Association President Joel Mayersohn. "To some it was very positive that the students could unite on something they felt strongly about,” Mayersohn commented, “to others, it was just a rehashing of the sixties.” One year later, the first phase of the new gymnasium, a 10,000 seat ficldhouse, is being built. Five other buildings arc also underway including a social sciences building, a lecture hall complex and a music hall. But Mayersohn claimed the funds for those structures would probably have been released even if the rally had not taken place, saying, "It just sped up the progress a little bit.” However, he added, “The Governor had to do something for UB after allowing the Syracuse appropriation but the rally added pressure.” “For most of the students here, the gym won’t be a reality.” he said. “We have a long , way to go.” But the largest demonstration witnessed by this University since the Vietnam War era is now a memory, and so is the ground it stood on. WILL h# Election races near end While the race for the County Executive post is the highlight in the local political arena this year, other contests are drawing increased attention as the November 6 balloting date draws near. Additional attractions are the state probes, which have come to characterize some Western New York elections of 1979. The Appellate Division of the State Supreme Court decided late Wednesday to overturn James L. Kane’s injunction and allow the four city charter amendments to be voted on by Buffalo voters on November 6. A somewhat bitter contest has developed for the County Sheriff post, shifting focus from issues to charges concerning the two candidates—Republican incumbent Kenneth Braun and Democrat Leo J. Donovan. Donovan charged that one of Braun’s “undersheriffs,” Thomas Higgins, tipped off his (Higgins’) brother—who has had past involvement with drugs to a drug investigation. The Courier-Express confirmed Donovan’s allegation as true. Inside: Looking for cable TV—P. 5 / Another point of debate is the political composition of the Department. Donovan, on leave as head of the Buffalo Homicide Bureau, promised to have no politics involved in’ the Department. Braun retorted that 9S percent of his staff is Civil Service placements, and expressed hope to increase that figure to 100 percent. Braun, last week, refused to participate in any more debates, preferring, he said, to stand on his record—which includes increased hard drug seller arrests and an increased number of minority and women staff members. “I feel that no useful purpose would be served to the voters of Eric County in debating the other candidates for Sheriff,” Braun maintains. The other candidate, is Liberal Party affiliate Salvatore Falletta. Of interest to UB students is the re-election attempt by George X. Salterclli for Tonawanda City Council. A Calculus instructor UB evenings, Salterelli has received endorsement from the Democrats, Republicans, Conservatives and Right to Life Party. A general education lesson—P. 7 / University District Councilman Eugene Fahey is also seeking re-election. In an interview with The Spectrum, Fahey spoke freely of his political ambitions, which extend beyond the City Council. Meanwhile, the State Board of Elections has recommended that criminal prosecution be started by Erie County District Attorney Edward Cosgrove against Fillmore Councilwoman Shirley C. Stolarski. The recommendations climaxed a 10-week probe by the Board of alleged fraud involving primary petition signatures. At press time, Cosgrove’s office had not decided if it would prosecute. Stolarski, despite the probe, is still on the Conservative ticket in her bid for. the City Council Presidency. In a related issue, the Board cleared five Buffalo city officials of any wrong doing regarding their petitions. Stolarski made the allegations, but the Board has to date found nothing irregular. Investigations, however, will continue. —Seth Coodchild Prodigal Sun—Pp. 9-16 / Special editorial— P. 18 �IUB instructor loses long, hard I battle to be on November ballot Spectrum Stuff Writer v It hasn’t been easy. Instructor Charlie Haynie was ruled out of the Delaware City Council race one month before the November election. Haynie, who is the Tolstoy College’s Academic Programming coordinator, was declared the loser in the Liberal primary by the State Court of Appeals in September when the court overturned two lower rulings which had previously declared Haynie the winner. Haynie also lost the Democratic Council primary a few days later. In the Democratic race, he was opposed by A1 Coppola who had sought the nomination in 1977. The outright loser, Haynie fell 700 votes short of his opponent’s 1900 tally. But Haynie’s candidacy was muddled when the “progressiveoriented” teacher sought the Liberal nomination. In order to qualify for the nomination, Haynie—an enrolled Democrat—needed a “petition for opportunity to ballot,” (commonly called a write-in) to be placed on the Liberal masthead. But the Board of Elections rejected his write-in status. So pushing a campaign that called for banks to re-invest in Buffalo, Haynie and his supporters filed suit in State Supreme Court. Republican candidate William Marcy—who shed the Liberal line on the ballot —argued that Haynie’s name could not be typed on the ballot because he was a write-in candidate. Reject petition However, Haynie’s lawyer Tim Lovallo claimed that this was an “incorrect interpretation” of the law and that the name did not have to be inducted, but was allowable. The Board of Elections rejected Haynie’s petition and Judge Rudolph Johnson upheld the decision. Such an interpretation, UB Instructor Charts* Hsynie 'Buffalo's not so reactionary explained Lovallo, tends to be “narrow” and provides for limited challenge efforts. Haynie appealed and the Fourth Appellate District reversed Johnson’s decision, allowing voters to write Haynie’s name in. Confident he would be - an acceptable write-in on the Liberal line, he challenged Coppola in September’s Democratic primary determined by the voters. After the defeat, his only hope was to obtain the Liberal slot. But in this round, the courts rejected the determined candidate. When the few Liberal party members voted, there was some confusion over the result. The Board of Elections was called into decide the matter and it ruled the final tally 28-27 in Marcy’s favor. But six votes were disputed and eventually voided. Haynie’s supporters demanded that he be declared, the winner. After an extensive investigation, Lovallo argued that two of the six disputed votes should have been awarded to Haynie, thus changing the outcome. Justice James L.Kane ruled in Haynie’s favor, declaring him the winner 29-28. Bui in the continuous pre- election battle, Marcy appealed to the Appellate court, who sustained Kane’s ruling 4-1. Not satisfied, Marcy took the case to the State Court of Appeals which ruled unanimously that one of the two votes was no good—and that a tie existed, leaving the election in limbo. In deadlock, the Liberal party executive committee was now allowed to choose which of the two candidates would appear on the Liberal slot. The Court’s memorandum, however, dismissed Haynie’s initial petition and Marcy was declared the winner. Lovallo felt that “it didn’t really matter at this point, because the committee would have endorsed Marcy, anyway.” The effect was that Haynie was now off the ballot. On November 6, voters will choose between Coppola and Marcy. Lovallo, when asked if Haynie’s rather radical beliefs might have affected the outcome, said, “always there are those who will . politics. but in these say. matters, there is enough room for argument. law is not that clear.” Early yesterday morning. The Spectrum learned that Haynie has endorsed Coppola. The Democratic nominee has taken up a few of Haynie’s major campaign proposals—municipalization of utilities and a concern over Buffalo banking practices that send city money out of the city. A self-termed radical, Haynie has been on the Tolstoy College staff for 10 years and is planning another run two years hence. He tried to enter his name this time because he saw a need for “a non-Conservative who doesn’t bow to private business interests.” In all, Haynie is surprised at his showing in the Democratic primary, as many have claimed Buffalo a conservative city. He mused, “People didn’t slam doors, or call us communists.

Nov. 5th THE TOURIST plus THE GOOD featuring BERNIF KUEGEL MeVan’s Nltc Club 2078 Niagara Street Court heals nurses’ woun S, licensing exam to be accepted by Jon-Michael Glionna Feature Editor The Locker Room Bar on Delaware Avenue is famous for big victory celebrations. But last Monday night the usual jocks weren’t on hand. The crowd was peppered with smiling faces in white nurses uniforms. Although test results have not yet been released they were celebrating the recent State Supreme Court decision to issue registered nurse licenses to all candidates who passed a State examination last summer. “1 was ecstatic when I got the good news,” assured Niagara University graduate Anne Patterson, who now works for Buffalo General Hospital. “Now I’m getting drunk,” she laughed. Not all the nurses at the party were as willing to forget what had happened. “Sure I’m happy,” said Lynne O’Brien as she sipped her beer from a plastic cup. “But the whole thing never should have happened in the first place. I thought part of the $80 1 paid to take the exam was to ensure security,” she insisted. The dispute between the nurses and the New York State Board of Education was bom in mid-September when Board Commissioner Gordon Aumbach announced thfc voiding of the July nursing exam due to a “widespread breach of security”—namely cheating. Since the board’s original announcement did not specify the exact region of the security leak, nurses from various parts of the State assembled their own contingents to debate the board’s rejection. At a noisy meeting at D’Youville College, Buffalo nurses formed the “Graduate Nurses for Action” which eventually chose area lawyer Dan McDonald to defend them. “We wanted a lawyer from a big firm who was well known to let the Board know we meant business,” explained UB Nursing graduate Kathy Barrick. More nurses jammed into the cozy Locker Room Bar. Members of. the Graduate.Nurses Association were collecting $3 at the door which would supply patrons with beer for the rest of the night. They also sold t-shirts for 55 which read “I didn’t cheat on the Nursing Boards.” The money was being raised to repay the legal debts incurred during their fight for licensing. The disc jockey spun a song by Michael Jackson. He sang something about going to the post office and not stopping until you got enough. That’s just what the nursing candidates had in mind sending off letters to State senators and assemblymen, calling for repeal of the Board’s decision. When Commissioner Aumbach visited Buffalo recently he was presented with a petition signed by almost 9000 people. In an October 5 court hearing in Albany, the Board of Education presented its evidence before Supreme Court Judge Deforest C. Pitt. According to its attorneys, the board had received 26 letters attesting that some candidates had been supplied with test questions beforehand. ‘‘After categorizing the candidates they relied on the failure-rate statistics of test results for the past 5 years and determined that scores had risen in every category this year,” informed McDonald. “What the board found particularly interesting was that the number of foreigners who passed this year was up 13 percent,” he added. McDonald, along with attornies representing other nursing factions, rebutted these findings by presenting statistics expert and Dean of Hofstra University Jules Block to testify that “no objective person could have drawn the conclusion of the Board of Education by the statistics they had presented.” But the judge did not need an expert to tell him that the board’s evidence was unsubstantial,” claimed McDonald. “I thought the court case would drag on for months,” said D’Youville graduate David Lipetz as he did the bump with a fellow nurse. “Now I’ll be getting my test results in about two weeks.” Above the dancers’ heads, strung across the Locker Room wall like a Christmas tree garland was a banner which read “We Worf!*NbVWflbjyeWPk5<fe’d’’*' J in COMING SOON to U.B.

Boyce also claims to have requested a similar study from the Courier Cable Company—which has exclusive rights to the City of Buffalo —concerning the Main Street Campus. However, no one at Courier Cable could substantiate the claim. Last month The Spectrum sent me out to discover why cable service was not available in the dorms. I contacted Boyce, but he told me that Housing wasn’t involved. After making a few more calls to various departments in the University, I discovered that nobody knew anything about Cable TV service. They were prepared Curious, 1 decided to contact the cable companies myself. Director of Marketing for International Cable Tom Hunt told me that the University had never contacted his company. However, he added, “We certainly are prepared to do an engineering study if we get a formal request from the proper authority at the university.” Chief Engineer for Courier Cable Clarence Ross told me that his company would be willing to conduct a similar study. Since both companies were willing to assume full financial responsibility for the studies, I assumed that I would have no trouble convincing the proper authority at UB to make a formal request. 1 then spoke to Boyce and explained the situation to him. He said he would make the request. Three weeks passed and no request was made so 1 decided to pay Boyce a visit. After waiting for fifteen minutes in the fourth floor Richmond Housing Office, I was escorted down a back staircase to Boyce’s isolated third floor office. Boyce unlocked the staircase door to allow me in. Surprisingly, he was quite congenial. No answer I told him that 1 had spoken to representatives from both cable companies and that neither company had been contacted by the University. “1 tried calling one of the two companies and didn’t get an answer 1 haven’t tried since because the telephone numbers are buried somewhere on my desk,” responded Boyce, glancing at the mound of papers in front of him. “Dewey Bush (Assistant Director of Housing and Custodial Services) told me that a few years ago he had contacted both cpmpanies but they weren’t interested,” remarked Boyce. “I think the problem then was the potential theft of services—but I’m not sure—you’d have to check with Dewey Bush.” So the next day I phoned Bush and .asked him if he had ever contacted the cable companies about cable TV in the dorms. “The request was only for lounges in the Governors Complex,” he explained. "There was never a request made for service in Ellicott or for individual rooms.” When 1 told ... BUS to New York City $37 found trip Bush about my earlier conversation with the Director of Housing, he said Boyce must have misunderstood him. I decided to call up Boyce and confront him with the situation. Apparently Bush had reached him first and warned him of our conversation. Boyce immediately called the International Cable Company—October 23—and requested that a feasibility study be done. Hunt told him that it would be about two weeks before a study could be initiated and that it would be another month before the results would be in. When I called Boyce to ask him if the requests had been made, he told me that he had spoken to International and that he was about to call Courier. I waited a week and then called Boyce back. He told me that he had cpntaced Courier Cable and was waiting for a return call from them. I then phoned Courier Cable and spoke to the program director, the chief engineer, and the sales manager. No one was willing to substantiate Boyce’s claim, however they all said it was possible that Boyce had spoken to someone else. In the meantime dorm students are anxiously awaiting results of the feasibility studies hoping they will open the door for cable installation. In Goodyear Hall, petitions for Cable TV were posted near the elevators. However, the petitions were never sent to the University Housing Office. Nobody seems to know who posted the petitions or where they are today. ‘.‘The petitions just appeared one day; we knew nothing about them,” commented Bob Francis, an RA in Goodyear. Francis did tell me he felt that a lot of students would probably be interested in cable TV service if it was made available. riends of C.A.C.

President Jimmy Carter selected Federal circuit judge Shirley Mount Hufstedler to head the new Department of Education. The selection of Hufstedler ends a long search conducted by the White House in which over a dozen candidates were mentioned for the post. SUNY Chancellor Clifton R. Wharton’s name was included in the list of potential candidates. Hufstedler will take over the reigns of the department, a conglomeration of 152 government programs absorbed from five different federal departments, within the next six months. Hufstedler’s appointment is pending Senate approval, but it is expected that she will be confirmed. “I have devoted a great deal of my life to education and have a commitment to education,” Hufstedler told the Los Angeles Times. “1 have intense concern about the quality of education for all Americans, particularly those in primary and secondary schools,” she said to the Times after meeting with Carter Monday morning. “But 1 don’t have any specific ideas right now about the Department of Education because I simply don’t know enough about the entire program.” Since the creation of the new department, administration officials have acknowledged that the President has been faced with an unusual range of problems in selecting the new Secretary. Certain constituencies have applied pressure on Carter to choose a woman or a minority member. Intense pressure was also levied from the higher education community. Much of the opposition to the creation of the department had originated from these educators. Hufstedler, the highest ranking woman jurist in the nation, has also been mentioned as a likely candidate fro the Supreme Court should a vancancy arise within the next year. One official told The New York Times that her appointment as the head of the Department of Education would not hinder her chances in a bid for a seat on the nation’s highest bench. New mountains After graduating from the University of New Mexico and Stanford Law School Hufstedler practiced law in Los Angeles from 1950 to 1960. The next year she served as special legal consultant to the attorney general of California. Pat Brown —who was then governor—appointed Hufstedler a judge of the Superior Court of Los Angeles County in 1961. She was elected to the position in 1962. Later, Hufstedler rose to the California State Court of Appeals and in 1968 President Lyndon Johnson nominated her for a position on the U. S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit. She became the second woman ever to be named to a U. S. Circuit Court. Although the 54 year old Hufstedler has spent her entire career in the field of law, in her private life she has been active in the educational world. She is a trustee of the California Institute of Technology, Occidental College and The Aspen Institute for Humanistic Studies. Despite her many duties as judge and trustee, Hufstedler finds time to be active in numerous lawyer’s associations and civic groups. She is an avid hiker and once made a 166 mile excursion in the Himalayas. Hufstedler now faces new mountains to climb as she assumes the leadership of national education, and whether she can top the growing pains of an infant department remains to be seen.

Relaxed atmosphere Another new aspect of the Center is the addition of two professional fulltime personal counselors, Dorothy Adema and Maggie Wright. Jones, who has been with UB for 11 years (at the Center for three years) also has her Masters in Counseling. An Action Line in operation during the Center’s hours tries to answer any questions students have (the number is 636-2344). When the Center is closed it becomes an activity line for events sponsored by Student Affairs during the week. Since its opening in 1974, the Center has drawn a steadily growing crowd—now three times the original size—and consequently, hours have been expanded. The room is open Monday through Thursday (and Saturday) from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m., Fridays from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. and Sundays from 3 p.m. to 9 p.m. During exams, hours are usually extended. Most students who come to the Student Center have been there before. Freshman Porter resident Dawn Calderon said, “It’s a change of pace from the routine of the academic day and it offers an alternative to TV during my spare time.” John Ray, also a freshman Porter resident, called it, “a conveniently located place with a relaxed atmosphere.” Blake dedication The satellite room—styled as an addition to the Main Street-based operation—was opened at approximately the same time as the Ellicott Complex began to house most UB students. At that time Mildred Blake, assistant to Vice President of Student Affairs Richard A. Siggelkow, was assigned to coordinate Center activities. Jones recalled that Blake studied the Complex until she knew it extremely well, realizing that many students would not be used to its mazelike structure. She was always available at the Center to give directions, information and counseling. Jones said, “The students were blessed to have someone like her.” Blake was assisted by a staff of two work study students, but when in 1977 she was forced to leave because of leukemia, Jones took over her duties. Blake died in September 1978. Invitations have been sent for the November 15 dedication of the Center to Mildred Blake—proposed by student representative to the College Council Michael Pierce. The Center’s new name will be “The Mildred Blake Student Affairs Center.” seats left TECHNOLOGY AND POLICY AT MIT A MASTER OF SCIENCE PROGRAM designated for persons wanting to participate in formulating policies for the development, use and control of technology and its consequences.

Writer Five years ago it was a room decorated only with empty shelves. Now it is the Amherst Campus satellite of the Office of Student Affairs a Center providing a place for students to meet with friends, do puzzles, study or read popular books, magazines and newspapers. The UB Student Center, located in 167 MFAC in the EUicott Complex, offers a welcoming atmosphere for people who want to relax during the day. Acting Office Coordinator Rowena Jones called it “a personalized institution.” Various activities are held at the Center such as backgammon tournaments, poetry readings and coffeehouses. Additionally, groups may reserve the room for meetings or activities. Jones explained that the Student Center provides a comfortable atmosphere intended to help reduce student feelings of disorientation. Students can write complaints or questions concerning any aspect of UB and within two days a response is listed. Almost all University information handouts are available at the Center. A ride board covering the U.S. and Canada covers one section of wall, as does a color-coded chart listing job openings. Maps and bus schedules are also available. Jones called the Center —soon to be dedicated to its “founder” Mildred Blake—“the students’ room,” explaining that each year officials there have tried to add a new service.

T'% t-f f ■' ' A history lesson: Must reading for the future by Kathleen McDonough Managing Editor Two years ago, a few people at UB stepped back and took a long look at the direction this University was heading and the students it was sending out into the world. And what they saw was that students were taking an increasingly narrow range of courses, courses that would guarantee them a job and save them from the very retd fear of having both a degree in hand and a foot on the unemployment line. They saw that students were no longer being educated—exposed to different philosophies, truths and ways of explaining the world. The move to establish a General Education Program began. Almost everyone agrees with the concept of general education—the study of many disciplines meaningfully integrated to give a broader perspective. It has been observed many times that to be against general education is like being against “motherhood and apple pie.” But the exact form this goal will take is far from enjoying suchconsensus. The basic form of the UB program has remained intact. The General Education Committee, after examining programs at other institutions like Harvard, decided that knowledge could be most efficiently divided into six “knowledge areas”: Historical and Philosophical Studies, Physical and Mathematical Sciences and Technology, Life and Health Sciences, Literature and the Arts, Social and Behavioral Sciences, and Cross-Cultural or Foreign Language Study. A student would be required to take two courses from each area, except for Literature and the Arts, which would require three. Since a students’s major automatically falls under one of the knowledge areas, it boils down to 11 required courses per student. Thread of unity But this scheme was attacked both on the floor of the Faculty Senate and in private circles, being labeled as merely a new set of distribution requirements. Recognizing this, the Committee incorporated “themes” into the program. Although the precise definition of a theme was not originally spelled out, it was hoped that it would give the Program the elasticity to change shape as future needs pressed against any selfimposed limits of the Program. Themes have fractured the Committee perhaps more than anything else. The Committee initially planned to have three required themes in addition to two themes chosen by the student. Themes were to be something special, even more broad-based and interdisciplinary than those which ranked as regular general education Some on the Committee noted that the categories of themes were so expansive that almost any course could squeeze into one of the themes, thus snapping the thread of unity among courses under a theme The hard core realists declared that the themes would never pass through the Senate intact; that political and financial concerns would override the academic goals. At a lime when budget cuts are forever draining academic departments, the more students a department has, the better protected it is from these- cuts. Whichever departments could finagle their courses under the wing of a required theme could up *its enrollment stats. The Senate discussion last when the theme Spring, requirement was not yet crystallized, unveiled this push for enrollments as various Senators argued to have their departments covered by the General Education Program. The struggle again surfaced when the Senate voted in October to approve the College Skills Component for Fall 1980, requiring each student to meet certain levels of achievement in math and writing or take courses to bring them up to that level. The skills section was widely viewed as the most' straightforward part of the program, but it was beseiged with questions about its affects on enrollment. One administrator even went so far as to suggest that any general education requirements discourage perspective tuition paying students and drive them into the arms of competitors. With this in mind, the committee /loosened the theme component—but not without much > debate. Now a student must take only three theme courses, all falling under one theme or scattered among several themes. No theme area will be required, and faculty still afe encouraged to develop innovative courses for the themes. Departments such as Health Sciences, Engineering and Management had pointed out that their students were so burdened with required courses that 11 general education courses would ruin any chance for students to develop an area of concentration outside their major. The Committee developed core programs to accomodate these criticisms. Core progams, the Committee reasoned, as a substition for the overall program .would demand less in terms of time commitment from students but still provide a coherent program. Next week Tuesday, the Senate will again voted on the General Education Program, and Senators will legitimately demand answers to questions as to how the program will shift resources, the mechanism for approving courses for the program, and details as to how the University can offer enough sections of needed courses each semester —estimates hover around 45 sections—to accomodate the number of students the Program will pour into them. Much of this information is vague now, but the Committee promises to have its task force on implementation problems come up with the answers soon. And although the Program’s debut is now pushed back to Fall 1981 (except for the skills section), many feel that without solid information to build on, it is still too soon. So the Senators will ask some tough questions at General Education’s trial here on Tuesday. “Mother and apple pie” may become old fashioned: “DOLLARS-OFF” coupons always honored at pizza s,v < subs •M1M5 "'N : courses.

Is the little girl In the back taking It loo seriously? Candidates the “issues” fourth the debate—covered in The Spectrum spiralled back into a mudslinging session characteristic of the hottempered campaign. The Republicans major counterattack has focused on accusations of impropriety regarding the Right Party’s (RTLP) to Life endorsement of McGuire, which resulted in a probe by the State Election Board. The Board announced Monday that it discovered no evidence of violations committed by either McGuire or the concentrate instead. on But Party. Republican County Chairman Victor Farley filed a complaint with the Board that McGuire had made agreements with RTLP in return for the Party’s nomination a violation of State law. He maintained that the Party asked both candidates to sign a document committing each to a stance in favor of replacing pro-abortion appointees on the Erie County Family Planning Board and the Eric Niagara Regional Planning Board, a charge that RTLP officials never denied. Rutkowski said he told Farley, the anti-abortion leaders made “unacceptable demands’’ on him. The County Executive obtained a copy of the document and gave it to Farley, who called RTLP official Lillian Tepley and informed her that his candidate would not — comply. Shady promises? Farley claimed that McGuire’s nomination for the Executive slot was sent to RTLP State officials the same day Rutkowski announced he would not sign—“It’s a logical conclusion that Frankie McGuire made commitments,” the chairman said. McGuire insisted that he had never even seen the document much less agreed to it, a contention the Board’s findings bear. The wealthy businessman explained that he told Party officials it was his intention to have all segments of the community involved in the government. Despite his own aggressive verbal blitzkriegs, McGuire accused Rutkowski of conducting a smear campaign, calling on the incumbent to “repudiate” the attacks on his integrity and “reputation for honesty.” He was referring to paid political announcements regarding a minority contracting firm. The ads alleged that McGuire made “millions” by helping Emmanuel Harris establish a minority firm with the sole intention of “cashing in” on the funds allocated to minority firms in the area. As reported in The Spectrum Rutkowski said, Lhathe stood by the contention of Chairman of the minority coalition, Reverend James Hemphill, that McGuire was “ripping off minorities, labor unions and taxpayers by setting up a minority front.” McGuire responded, in debate, that he “never made a cent off the , —continued from page 1— ... minority construction company,” and that his only concern was to help a disadvantaged businessman. Appeal end attack Campaign issues, when debated, no different than those wrangled over in similar races across the country in the late are government 1970’s—taxes, and bureaucracy. McGuire has pledged to cut county taxes by S8-10 million during his first year in office, a figure Rutkowsld has said is impossible to attain without cuts in services. McGuire admitted, in the third debate, that he would have to lay off some county workers, but he explained it would be equivalent to “cutting out a layer of political fat in the budget.” The Democrat said that he would chop 165 patronage jobs, many of which Rutkowski claims are highly skilled and not associated with political patronage. McGuire’s other favorite topic has been his ability to increase private sector jobs for Erie County, implying that Rutkowski has been unable to do so because of his inexperience. McGuire has repeatedly said he is more qualified because of his background—he guided the growth of an electrical contracting firm, which now inefficiency employs 600. The two candidates have done an effective job of avoiding other issues, concentrating on voter appealing topics and personal attacks. Some of the county’s most pressing difficulties—such as desegregation in Buffalo schools and the charter proposals—have been ignored. Issues affecting UB students voting rights for residents and Amherst construction —have not been explored at all. — Kennedy visit the most exciting of the campaign, despite all the mud-slinging, will be Kennedy’s visit. He will be in Buffalo, officially, to support McGuire, but his visit no doubt is also intended to give his own campaign for President an East Coast shot in the arm. Buffalo’s own political celebrities have also entered the fray. County Comptroller Alfreda Slominski Republican endorsed maverick—has Rutkowski, who beat her in the Party’s tough September primary. She said that Rutkowski, appointed to the post in 1978, possessed a “thorough grasp” of County politics. Rutkowski actively sought her support expecting that the endorsement would aid him in the traditional Polish-American areas, an important city constituency. The two Buffalo papers —The Evening News and the CourierExpress —both endorsed Rutkowski. But McGuire is undaunted by this support. “I don’t see a major effect,” he contended. Buffalo Mayor Jimmy Griffin has voiced his support for McGuire. Perhaps development — �m �Raitt —continued from page 9— . .... This came through the windows on the bus ride down forced him to again consider whether Buffalo could empty the hopes of its residents the way it emptied its storefronts —slowly, quietly, so as not to disturb the chatter of revival. From this he stepped out and into the curious majesty of Shea's, pausing to note that the stubbornly dull shine of the brass doors could be a perfect metaphor for Buffalo's morose struggle for rebirth Shea's was the closest thing Buffalo had to an Atlantis. The lost promise of the Queen City, which haunted travelers from the darkness of the Old Train Station on Paderewski Drive, gleamed softly here in the crystal chandliers the theater wore like diamonds. Yes, one could only use jewels to describe Shea's. Nothing else had images so rich and imitations so cheap There was a faint chance of an interview .with Bonnie Raitt His anti-nuke credentials had just enough substance to stand an inflation that might impress her But the word came back from a Festival employee: the singer's voice was ailing on this tour and talk (even for the cause) had to be kept to a minimum While the excuse was later confirmed by a detectable hoarseness between songs, it was denied by its own utility as a dodge for unwilling Main, which in its typical gloom performers Still, he was not at all disappointed There were hundreds of spots from which to interpret a concert; dressing rooms were only one.and.a limiting one at that. Besides, he had not been kept awakd at night by gnawing doubts over the anti-nuclear movement; that was one of the more comforting, places to invest thought Whatever questions he hoped-Bbnnie Raitt could'help answer would never come through, the awkwardness of an interview, but they were sometimes found in the moments when music reached down into the gut of a listener and sloshed around inside. They would be political only if that reach also drove into the audience's whole, now scattered in three and fours and milling comfortably around the lobby Whether this would come to pass or not was a difficult question, for how does qne tell anything about an audience as just a single member, equal in access to • everyone else? ‘ He thought it was precisely that question which gave music criticism its double edge of futility and fantasy. The crazy notion that the critic was super-sensitive to the concert experience had a thrilling dare to it' believe it and you were seduced into omniscience by your own senses, reject it and you were nothing but a fan who accepted a free ticket along with the burden of scribbling down song titles on a flimsy pad in the dark k To help in resolving this private debate, he had this around her obvious theory about Bonnie womanhood. The classic rock fantasy played out thousands and thousands of times had its own narrow sex roles: the guy getting —or getting it from —the gift. Now sometimes (maybe the best times, he didn't know) it was all just rock 'n roll and nothing more, but sometimes the message in the classic rock fantasy became the message in a personal fantasy for the listener, for the performer, or for both The degree to which the artist could make that fantasy become both personal and real was some measure of the concert's success. Bonnie Raitt of course presented an instant turn-around of the typical rock sex roles. (He would probably argue that she presented it better than anyone else, but he would argue it lamely, since he had never seen Patti Smith, among others.) The evening would ride ori the reversing gears of the audience's rock 'n roll memory In the stoned soul of the music's secret world, those who had, been called- Baby before would now be doing the calling as they identified with the identifiable Ms riaitt. Those who had been lusted after before could now do the lusting and those who had hurt before would now be hurting others. Surely a strange sexual energy would hang in the air tonight, as strange as a face in'the mirror that looks somehow unfamiliar. To givp all these grinding fantasies (and their incremental realness) their razor edge, Bonnie Raitt played the electric guitar and played it well The instrument that meant rock 'n roil and had come to be an extension of the male performer's phallus now would rest across the soft shoulders of a woman who was nof about to treat it kindly, or with any hesitation. Thus the sea of sexuality that rose with rock would drive in uniquely opposite directions for each member of .the audience. In the turbulence would be found new fantasies and new passions to make them real Bonnie Raitt could not be unaware of this, she must have known the powers of reversal more intimately than anyone else. She could never have done what she did without it The audience had come in near equal proportions of men and women, usually, but not always, men with women, some of them lovers no doubt, some pf them exlovers, would-be lovers, angry embittered loVers, newly unfolding lovers and —he was guessing now —many women who came because they knew their love best when Bonnie Raitt was on the stereo, or the stage. Could men admit the same things Probably not All the more storm in the sea (Slight diversion No 1; Another important measure of the concert's success could only be found in the beds of North Buffalo later that evening Although this was close to the ultimate dare, not even he would drive the blade of criticism that deep. However, it was good to be aware s that the blade could not be so driven ) Every great performer, he thought, had some combination of toughness and tenderness she thought was hers. Bonnie Raitt never told anyone she could be tough and tender at the same time, she went tumbling from one extreme to the other at such a crazy pace th3t her passions were always edged in contradiction It was the ability to bring out the feel of those contradictions (the guitar was crucial here) that made her a performer. Yes, she had a that's-what-it-feels-like appeal to her fans. But this was a dangerous way of performing, for the audience had to be willing not just to listen and boogie, but to feel. He would later be astounded by her willingness to lay bare this risk when, after two bluesy ballads she struck out at every male itchy to be let loose with a rocker, disarming them all, including the heckler, by saying: "Come on, now, just be sensitive for one more song and then we'll rock 'n roll." She then calmly sang her guts out Such a skilltul filling of a typical male-female gap would be repeated in a thousand more subtle ways during the evening as Bonnie Raitt dove into the churning exchange of sexuality and came up with those simple lessons like: I've been true to you. And honey if I can make that sacrifice, You can do it too. That one made a special kind of sense to him Though he had heard it before, in the bluesy haze of Shea's and bluer haze she had swirled into her head, the saneness of such a sacrifice stung hard. The stoned soul was alive and grew more alive with each song from the midnight blues to the morning ballads, from the glee of Dixieland to the drumrotling rock 'n roll, fronrt out of Bonnie Raitt and into the sea of the audience, the exchange grew fierce as it grew calm along the edge of real and surreal interpretations of the event. With her thick, blond hair falling in curves as graceful as those her figure-cut from the spotlight, she stood like Wonder-Woman drowning m pain, a bluesy bitch so proud you crumbled like dirt in her hand, a lover so true you felt the lie just sitting there, a friend so simple you knew her on the first chord, a woman of heart and mind not about to let you forget it He stopped scribbling in the dark The things worth ■ remembering would never make it onto paper. (Slight diversion No. 2; Bonnie Raitt held sdfnething special to some women that was totally foreign to men He did not consider it his right to know it, Only to recognize it in the eyes of the twojvomen who sat next . o , GIVE IT UP: Raltt turns the roles of relationships around, singing and swirling us in a bluesy hasy. him, gently clasping hands at odd moments in the night.) Now, to keep his bearings at this point, he reminded himself that there was always, always —even when the secret world of the music seemed most real —a tension between the let-loose freedom of rock 'n roll and the caging character of a rock-inspired odyssey into the self Good performers know how to wind and release this tension as the evening builds Good audiences know how to to be wound and released. Certainly it had something to do with Buffalo and the stare of headlights and the lost cry in Shea's that had made him surrender to the odyssey so willingly this night But in any world, on this evening, ip this town, in this curious theater, Bonnie Raitt and her audience had felt good together.

"It'll make Coming Home amd Deer Hunter look like home movies," other critics predicted Francis, the first two hours of your movie was the cloest manifestation of pure art on film I have ever seen It was entertaining, brilliant and nurturing, and at the same time, complex, haunting and frustrating.

Front pages and front covers have been offered up to it and a thousand scribbling critics have been prodded into cranking out pages of clever, high-sounding commentary And thus. Apocalypse Now joins that select pantheon of epic artworks that are themselves epics, i e , veritable pages of history But for all the press "hip, hip" and TV "hoorah/' this giant suit of hype seems ill-fitted for what turns out to be something of a small fellow clumping about in oversized boots For Apocalypse Now, though incontrovertibly an event, is a disappointing one Let me qualify this; I love the film, it is a disappointment only as a statement on the American involvement in Vietnam and as an application of Conrad's The Heart of Darkness to that involvement But as a film experience, Apocalypse Now is sheer fulfillment flawed only insofar as statements and literary applications r k ■ m Qkcmoda xJIirotw - 9:30 pm “continued intrude.

It is about time that one of the major dinosaurs made a move to reduce prices and allow people to take a stab at some of the new music being released in volume. For starters, CBS records is reducing the list price of catalog items of currently hot artists This means that the previous releases of such artists as Miles Davis, janis Joplin, Mott the Hoople, Weather Report and Carole King (to name a few) will be marked down to $5.98. A new price line will also be developed for new releases by new gazelles & dinosaurs^SSI artists (such as the Only Ones, the Beat) to encourage the purchase of new music. With record prices having increased three dollars in three years, this move may appear token to some But it is a move, nonetheless, and could apply direct pressure other dinosaurs Another move is information that IRS records will be distributed in the U S. Picked up by A&M records, IRS will be carrying some of the wilder European and American musicians' recordings today: everyone from John Cale to Throbbing Gristle. Efopes are that major distribution of this independent label will have more effect on the consciousness of America's listening audience This, however, will take an expansion in consciousness of America's radio programmers. Well we can dream for now to Of the new IRS music, Fashion's Product Perfect and The Fall's Live at the Witch Trials set the disengaging tempo for the latest of afterpunk. ■ -»< jL^iokeis! Stuttered beats underlie Fashion's concocted rhythm adventures that explore "technofascism'' with methods slightly less humorous than Devo: sleep tight, the technocrat loves us sleep tight, no bureaucrat shoves us sleep tight, tomorrow dogma will be chanted sleep tight, alt our desires are implanted. Humorous indeed. Fashion music is bitter; representative of the feeling of much of Euro-rock; disdain for fascism and rascism and a spiralling industrial decline. They speak of de-evolution without a need for a collective identity to hammer the point home, like many of the Euro-rockers that speak of social decadence But simultaneous to this is Fashion's low tolerance for the myth of the Seventies' rocker, as explained in "Big John:" big john's living in the big apple raising The -5 ■ cowSi-ft. keith's at the clinic gotta keep clean oh so clean Sidney couldn't cope always had too much rope. . . . . . sell destruction's not very easy The Fall's debut, on the other hand, is quite polar.

Perrett has a masterful sense of the hook, the major reason for the greatness of the Only Ones and the multitude of motivating rockers on this disc: "Another Girl, Another Planet," "Lovers of Today," "Peter and the Pets" and "City of Fun." Perrett's delivery has the low intensity sensitivity of Johnathan Richman non etts The Members Enough said Just as white British blues players convincingly mastered, and later applied the roots of blues to Sixties' rock and roll, so has reggae found its place in much of the late Seventies rock music (predominately "New Wave") Leading the way last year with perhaps the most accessible rebel rock was the Police.

E ® . o . » playing the next two Mondays at the Tralfamadore Cafe. It is its second appearance in Buffalo, having appeared a year ago in the same place with the same cast Ms. Levine, a The SpecIrum theater reviewer, spoke of the production as being "filled with clouds of pretension," and of herself as being "anxious to meet OLD RED MILL INN Jason and Medea (unseen protagonists in the production). Jason and Medea, we are told by Bill and Betty, the happily married middle class couple who haveinvited us to the Tralf, are to bring the golden fleece for all of us to view They don’t show up And that's as far as Ms Levine got As she said, "Boy, was I fooled However, for me, and I tend to feel for most of this audience, that is exactly where the play really began. Hence the relativity between views The Golden Fleece, produced by Torn Dooney and presented by the Ad Hoc Players, is the type of play where the inferred ideas are those that the play truly wishes to address. Just as a detail of a sketched flower can be used to suggest the entirety of the essence of it more than if the drawing were photographically ture, a play can do the same. " • 8326 MAIN ST. (near Transit Rd.) Clarence, N Y. 14221 THE STROH BREWERY COMPANY. DETROIT, MICHIGAN ® / 1978 Medea's’ The Golden Fleece seems not to be about Jason and Medea per se, but about the nature of relationships between men and women The hijinks of the unseen couple are only important in that bill and Betty must act as ‘Come to messengers between the couple after they each independently decide not to show up at Bill and Betty’s party Betty, played well by Elise Pearlman, chooses to champion a world without men when she hears her husband speak •0T glowingly of Jason's ongoing affair with another woman That she chooses to side with the principle of a universal womanhood over the traditional place of a wife beside Ker husband is an inkling of the issues The Golden F/eece delves into She speaks with conviction of a world where men are not found except by invitation, "where they and they leave Although she is thoroughly city bound, she paints a picture of a land where women support themselves and their children; where they are independent and free of the deceit of men 'Come with me to Medea's,” she implores like a Pied Piper for women Yet she is not a rabid feminist come " Home movies? Bill, portrayed by Paul Kawalec, wishes to live lusty like lason, but he doesn't He can only do so vicariously through Jason's adventures For example, Bill—who sailed with Jason, stayed on the boat while Jason rapes and pillages for the golden fleece —is proud to have been in the company of such a man Let's warm up and have an ice-cold Strok’s.” “ For the real beer lover. So there must be more to The Golden Fleece than simply waiting for a temperamental couple There is the exposition on the fantasies of men and women done in an almost offhand way. Simply because a playwright hasn't chosen to blatantly push his ideological point doesn't mean that there isn't any The Golden Fleece is a bit like being invited to watch someone's home movies —and that would be boring It was becoming shagged in wanting to see those home movies that blinded Ms. Levine to the larger film unreeling in front of us. The forest often can't be seen for the trees. The Golden Fleece deserves better than this type of tunnel vision —bbth from the audience as well as from critics. �* Three Women Three new albums by Pat Carrington I was asked to put these three album I don't really know why PieC6 MarSha Cha P™"- Bette Midler and Karla Rw/ °"f very different f certainly from one another-,ust about ontv 1 have common is that rht the onfy ?h thing they they're women who make W " in Their styles are quite diverse, so that's where the coherence of this piece will end Comparing Chapman with Midler would be as futile as comparing Lynyrd Skynyrd to oh, don't know-who is the male counterpart of Bette?

As I istened to the first side of Karla Bonoff s latest album Restless Nigh s (Columbia ,1 became worried about whether my feminist ideals wou d make ,t difficult for me to give this record an unbiased review I ike her first effort, it is exclusively made up of love songs These are of the 'trumpets sound and hear thunder boom/every time that you walk in the room and the "all the ' fears made me strong variety Not that there s anything wrong with love, but aren t there other things of merit to sing about? was at a loss for what to wnte-unt.l side two It opens with a wonderful a capella chorus-Karla, Andrew Gold and bassist/producer/ songwriter Kenny tdwards (also of Linda Rondstadt s band) singing "ooh ooh baby don't go The song is no different m tone than any ot her others, but it s spirited and tuneful Another c ut that works is "The Water is Wide," a traditional ballad arranged by Lrank Hamilton, Pete Seeger and Bonott It's peaceful and enchanting, and proves that love songs can.be beautiful things worth to hstemng (especially when James Taylor and J D Souther provide vocals) music. I I ' I background I he problem with Restless Nights, then, is not but rather how she sings it The title track has Karla s rendition doesn't bring life to her own what Bonoff passionate sings, lyrics but words-the sbng makes restless simply because it s boring, "The Letter should be a heartwrenchmg piece, but it has a dreamy quality instead. When Bonott sings "I can't believe she could take my place," she sounds egotistical, not full of surprise at the pain Karla has a very pretty voice, and perhaps that's why I'm so disappointed —she can do a lot more with what she has (For instance, there's the haunting "Someone Lay 1° Down Beside Me" from her first album). Her latest is a well-arranged and produced album —each song <-cts the proper treatment It's quite pleasant: to listen to —great as background me music Marshall law Marshall Chapman's most recent album, Marshall (Epic) raises none of the doubts that Bonoff's did Chapman write or collaborates on all the songs on this album, and plays electric guitar as well She's her own woman, with a voice like Shari Lewis' puppet Lambchop and music that at times reminds one of the good old searing-guitar days of Southern Rock It's more raw than her last effort, Hided Virgin, without the double-tracked vocals (which she thought Al Kooper overproduced, anyway). Though Marshall acknowledges her South Carolina roots, she's not locked into one style She rocks and rolls, the Country Western tone of "Two Fires" would do Tammy Wynette proud, and she can even reggae! as she proves in the witty "Don't Make Me Pregnant." Her sense of humor is delightful -"I don't wanna have a baby-1 just wanna have a ball." The whimsical "We Don't Co Together (But We Do)" is the type of good-time music that would sound great on Top Forty radio (But Top Forty radio rarely has that much taste, and besides, she mentions cocaine). Chapman knows the problems of being a woman, particularly a "Rock and Roll Girl" and she addresses the issues Outstanding here is Why Can't I Be Like Other Girls," a song worthy of redoing to get it to sound the way it was intended to, which Chapman did It rocks more here than it did on laded Virgin. It's ironically obvious that Chapman doesn't want to be like other girls at all (doing what we tell you to) and it's a victory song Her prettiest ballad, "Don't Leave This Girl Alone, a plea to a lover to understand, and bear with her "I have too much on my mind trying to do the thing that I do She does it so well on Marshall that it would be difficult not to be impressed with her fresh approach, or not to hope that this Rock and Roll woman sticks around for a while Bette Midler is currently receiving advance critical acclaim for her performance in her first film, "The Rose," She portrays a rock star who resembles Janis Joplin, and she supposedly leaves one weakkneed It's unfortunate that her new album. Thighs and Whispers (Atlantic), shows almost none of that force There s no energetic rock and roll at all, and only a couple of songs that show much emotion. Bette, with her wistful/soaring style and her lung capacity, can put enough feeling into a ballad to make anybody want to cry, and the only songs that even approach that here are "Cradle Days" and James Taylor's "Millworker In the latter she takes on a character, something she's done before and proven herself to be very good at —it's just Bette and her machine; she'll "never meet the man whose name is on the label" —and that's somehow very sad But Thighs and Whispers is, for the most part, disco That, in itself, shouldn't disappoint me—Bette has long been the darling of the New York gay crowd who would be found in discos, and it seems natural that her music and camp style would fit in with that genre But she has too much ability to be doing so much mechanized music Her voice blends in with all the little typical disco noises, you can't distinguish her words —in short, she could be anyone Cuts like "Married Men" and "Hurricane" are dull, too long, and they just don't & ." " work. When Bette combines disco with her talent for taking the old and making it new again, or for combining eras (like she did in "In the Mood" or ' La Vie en Rose"), she revitalizes the standard disco sound That's why "Big Noise from Winnetka" makes it Bette blends disco and a forties swing sound, and they mix well "My Knight in Black Leather" is funny, and has a sing-along sort of refrain —more disco/pop than unadulterated disco All things considered, .Thighs and Whispers is pretty much af'the bottom of the heap as far as Midler albums in general are concerned, and it will prove particularly disappointing for those who rediscover her after seeing "The Rose" and rush out to buy her latest, anticipating great things But it does have its few worthwhile moments —Garry A^ ?lastA Beilin Theatre P E ?° C0MPANY: P,r,ormin B 81 Sh88' s weekend, the modern movements of iwyla Tharps dance troupe also graced the Katharine Buffalo Comel1 Th88t8f in Eilicott Thursday night.

But the beginning of the decade in New York saw a tremendous surge of postwar creativity: painters Rauschenberg, Pollock, Johns, De Kooning; |the dances of Merce Cunningham, and the music of John Cage, Earle Browne, Christian Wolff, and Morton Feldman. The influence of these composers, who were working without the benefit of any kind of institutional support, had spread throughout the musical world by the end of the decade.

Kurtz (Marlon Brando) has set himself up as warlord and tribal god to Montenard natives. This linear structure begs for some f conclusion —especially since Coppola splices onto his images a laconic and often silly narration (written by Michael Herr of Dispatches fame) which, like the internal ponderings of Conrad's Marlowe, prepares us for a final message But none is forthcoming The last forty minutes is as visually resplendant as the first one hundred But the linear thrust peters out, coughing and chugging on the last feet of prime celluloid; we come up with nothing Brando's obese Kurtz spouts alot of pretensions and unintelligible babble while Willard suddenly has nothing to say The long heralded confrontation never arises The horror which we have felt (thanks to Coppola's mastery of his medium) and of which we were lead to expect revelation concludes in a late-night creature-feature kingdom of skulls, chopped-off heads, and black magic. With such cliches, we feel cheated as if the terror we had experienced has been trivialized, as if we're supposed to laugh at ourselves for having ever been terrified - In plain sight Coppola misses what makes The Heart Some of the most important music of this era can be heard tonight m at Baird recital hall Among the pieces to be performed are Christian Wolff's Duo for two violins, an orchestral realization of Earle Brown's December 7952, the notorious Imaginary Landscape IV by John Cage (who scored it for twelve radios), and a set piano pieces by UB professor/composer Morton Feldman Admission is free —be there! Where do young composers come from? In the nineteenth century, they were supposed to live in garrets and have TB. But the modern UB composer is more likely to work in the basement and suffer from ulcers and asbestosis In spite of these hardships, graduate composers here at UB are writing some highly inventive and beautifully realized music. Electronic and acoustic sounds are employed; sometimes together and sometimes separately Problems of rhythm, orchestration pacing, and structure are explored, often to striking effect But by virtue of their isolation here in the vinyl tower, UB's composers do not receive the exposure they deserve There are periodic exceptions, however. One of them is the Composer's Forum concert to be held at Baird Recital Hall on Thursday, November 8 at 8 p m. Music by Joseph DiRienzo, Christos Hatzis, InHwa Nam, William Ortiz, Steven Swartz, and Michael Zak will be performed. Admission is free. A reception will follow the concert Come hear tomorrow's music before it becomes the day after at 8 p ot Darkness so effective and thus, seems to forget what made his previous three films so successful These films also suffered (as John Simon points out) conceptual difficulties What rescued them, however, was the experience of seeing Al Pacino (in The Godfather II) and Gene Hackman (in The Conversation ) unravel as the film progressed And this is what drives Conrad's tale to its spectacular insight: we are given the very texture of Marlowe'?’ HEART OF DARKNESS: Doss Coppola’s (ilm really explore the truths of Vietnam? growing disquiet in the shadow of an imminent Kurtz But unlike Conrad's ordinary guy Marlowe, Willard is already consumed by "the horror, the horror" from first we see him. He is a passive, burnt-out, and rather opaque observer who lacks the fiber to confront Ku,rtz even if there were a Kurtz to confront But then, in Apocalypse Now any conclusion would be unsatisfying since the very sensuousness that makes the film great renders any conclusion unnecessary The heart of darkness is with us from frame one; it beats turbidly in the corroded chest of Capt Willard and wraps the film in a mescaline haze of pure terror. The ending is a double bust it cheats us of a promised pronunciation and it dilutes with banal images and bad poetry the very terror the ending is supposed to explain Kurtz, becomes a pontificating cipher. The final upshot is irony. Coppola had his fingers on Conrad's dark pulse all along, in every vermillion blossom of flame, in every sweep of locust-buzzing helicopters and bizzare plot twist But by trying to dramatically unfold what was already in plain sight, by leading us on with a slapdash narration to a conclusion Coppola was so uncertain of that he filmed three of them Coppola hobbles his own genius.

We know Big Brother and the society can last forever provided there is a war going on. Your Willard can see no end to the war, so he must confront the realization that, since the war will continue, he must kill Kurtz But Francis, oh Francis my thoughts were premature, for you forgot one small detail: you have no ending for this film Willard, who is the film's equivalent to a dramatized narrator in a novel, suddenly becomes a deaf-mute He just sits, stares, and listens to Marlon mumble. The long awaited confrontation between these two forces unwinds into a disappointment. Willard eventually chops Kurtz like a sacrificial ox, but so what? This was expected, Francis, but what wasn't expected was such an anticlimatic ending. Or was it? In the past, your endings to movies were distorted by either senseless violence or uncertainty The ending of The Godfather was a bloody mess, and so was The Great Gatsby Fitzgerald wanted Gatsby to die with "a thin red circle (of blood) in the water" —your shooting made him resemble a victim from laws. Your ending tp The Godfather II was marred by indecision, but we accepted such an ending in case there would be a Godfather III. However, this apocalyptic ending is unacceptable. You had no psychological insight into Kurtz Brando became a big, bald, bumbling fool in Apocalypse, and he and Sheen could not trade views because Sheen couldn't even talk Francis, it is a shame that an otherwise brilliant movie succumbed to a lazy ending In between mumbles, Kurtz called Willard "an errand boy sent by store keeper to collect a bill You should have expanded this point further, and you should have looked into Kurtz with the same intensity you looked into Kilgore.

In the past two months alone there have been eleven reported assaults on women in the Main Street Campus area. “Attackers arc more likely to be found around college areas because they know young women are more likely to be walking alone,” affirmed one policeman. The New York Public Interest Research Group (NYPIRG) is working on a project to extend evening bus service to the offcampus housing area surrounding the Main Street Campus. One of the proposed routes departs Squire Hall and runs a circular route covering the Comstock, LaSalle, Parkridge, Winspear, Bruce, and Englewood Streets. NYP1RG bus extension project coordinator Kim Wilson, expressed the need for bus service due to poor lighting in and around campus. “There is no need for students, particularly women, to feel anxious about walking through campus. As the situation now stands, many people limit their activities to the daytime because walking through a deserted area is potentially dangerous,” she noted. Buffalo’s severe weather is added reason for the service. Off-campus resident Heather Lifton maintained, “The only place I can study is the library and sometimes I just don’t want to go out because it is too cold. A bus service would be really great.’’ Although the Anti-Rape Task Force provides a person door-todoor walk service, there are some problems with it. Force coordinator Louise Miller said people sometimes feel funny calling someone to walk them home. She too advocates bus transportation because it would provide a regular, dependable service. Director of Transportation for Blue Bird Roger McGill, however, maintains that the van service is a more realistic approach. But the NYP1RG committee contends that last year’s “inefficient” van service proves the need for some alternative. Buses, the group argues, would be more dependable and accessible to all. Other SUNY schools including Albany, Binghamton and Fredonia already enjoy this service. The NYPIRG committee has yet to determine how UB could fund the bus program. The NYPIRG committee said it needs student support and feedback in order to implement the project. Petitioning has begun and students will soon set up a table in Squire Hall. Anyone interested in participation in this project is urged to attend the next bus extension project meeting Thursday at 5 in 356 Squire. enm Univesity Presbyterian CHURCH NEXTFRIDAY NIGHTII GOOD TICKETS STILL AVAIALBLEII Tickets available at Central Ticket Office on 210 Delaware.

The Task Force now has about thirty volunteers and is hoping to add two more offices—another on the Academic Spine. It presently operates out of Clement Hall on Main St. and the Undergraduate Library and one in the Ellicott Complex on Amherst.

In the future we want women to learn to help themselves.” Hours for the van service are Mondays and Wednesdays, 9:15, 10:00, 11:00 p.m. and 12:00 midnight; Tuesdays and Thursdays 8:30, 9:15, 10:00, 11:00 p.m. and 12:00midnight. The van will be parked in front of Squire Hall —in the small parking lot—and will have a sign designating it as the Task Force Van. The Task Force also offers a walk service, which will operate Mondays through Thursdays, as of Nov. 5, from 8:30 to 12:00 midnight. Walkers will take women to dorms, parking lots, and bus stops. Their office is on the first floor of Clement Hall on Main Street Campus and a table is at the Undergraduate Library on Amherst. “Every volunteer has an identification card. We print these up ourselves, so there can’t possibly be any duplication. All a woman has to do —to be sure she is talking to legitimate Task Force volunteers—is ask to see an id card,” she said. People interested in volunteering their services should call SA at 636-2950 between 9:00 and 5:00, or leave a note at the Task Force office in Clement. A woman who has been assaulted or raped should call Campus Security at 636-2222, and ask for Officer Peggy Chapados or Officer Sandy Teall, who are on call 24 hours a day. i3 �j editorial m «• i Students and Ketter—an adversary relationship Surely more than a few people passed by Haas Lounge last Friday afternoon and wondered about the identity of the soft spoken, sweater clad figure addressing a large crowd from a podium in front of the large picture window. And considering that UB is such a gigantic school, with split campuses and sharp demarcations between study fields and graduate and undergraduate divisions, this phenomenon is really not all that remarkable. It is easy to see how a student, whose main objective is to acquire his or her degree, can go here for four years and never concern himself with the issues of University administration or presidential succession. Trying to make sense of all the confusing bureaucratic language, accusations and rebuttals is a formidable task and perhaps not worth the effort in the first place, one could see the hapless student saying. But there are some compelling reasons, (and you should bear with us although you have probably heard similar pleas against apathy before) why you should now more than ever care about what happens in the upper echelons of the vinyl tower. The reasons are etched in the lines of Robert Ketter’s nine year history as University President, a tenure characterized by a consistent adversary relationship with students. And the issue at hand is the imminent reevaluation of Ketter’s presidency by a peer assessment team, a group of three outside administrators whose task it is to judge the University’s executive officer for the SUNY Board of Trustees. You have probably read in The Spectrum or other student publications about Ketter’s evasive manner when appearing in front of student forums and that his general rapport with students is not the best. It is Cavage, owner of Cavages Records, then located in University Plaza, threatened to sue the University over the unfair competitive advantages he maintained the Co-op had. He said its ideal location and significantly lower album prices gave it an unfair edge over area stores. In May 1975, Ketter closed down the UB Day Care Center, despite the fierce indignation of a wide crosss section of the University community. The Day Care Center, which assisted young mothers in their pursuit of a higher education by allowing them to leave their babies in the care of qualified professionals while they attended classes, was established in 1970, following a hard fought battle. Ketter’s position on the Center is best summed up in his notorious 1971 statement: “There is nothing that says a pregnant woman must come to the University.” In April, 1975 the University administration over the funding of the student run Group Legal Services. Last Summer, the administration won a court battle with SA, preventing mandatory fee money from being used to pay for free legal representation in court. Ketter insisted that Group Legal Services was of benefit to students only on an individual basis and therefore could not truly qualify as a student sevice. Here again Ketter and company split legal hairs. The President consistently refused to grant union recognition to Graduate Student Employees Union (GSEU) in the mid-seventies. Ketter advised GSEU that it bring its request to the Public Employees Relations Board, but GSEU maintained that only Ketter could afford it union recognition. The contention fell on deaf administration ears. By examining the above issues there can be no mistake about where Ketter stood and still stands in regard to students. At Haas Lounge last Friday, Special Editorial that you are intuitively distrustful of the University President, a skepticism that stems from a reflexive second guessing of all authority figures which was born in the turbulent years of the student activist 60’s. But there’s more reason to be distrustful of Ketter than mere intuitive skepticism or his apparently poor relationship with the student body. On all too many occasions over the last decade Ketter has scuttled and otherwise frustrated crucial student demands. He has intervened in the disbursement of mandatory student activity fees, taken an intractably hard line on the activities of dissidents,and has allied himself against student-run programs along with social, medical, and legal assistance organizations. Robert L. Ketter rose to the Presidency in 1970 mostly on his reputation as a conservative law and order man, a reputation he gained during his chairmanship over the Committee on Campus Disorders. The committee suspended several students accused of disruptive and radical activities. To be fair, Ketter did manage to attenuate the vitrioloc antagonisms between the University and the community, antagonisms that turned especially ugly during the disastrous stewardship of his predecessor, President Edward Regan. The riotous months of Spring 1970, when the UB campus was occupied by a contingent of Buffalo City Police, settled into an autumn of quiescence in the Fall of 1970 as Ketter assumed the reins of power. But Ketter’s greatest faux pas is his consistent record of turning back the tide of increased student independence and participation In the governance process, a tide that began here and at other universities across the nation,during the watershed years of the 60’s. The primary legacy of Martin Meyerson, the Berkeley educator who occupied the president’s chair from 1965-1970, was that he encouraged these progressive and reasonable aspirations, not to mention his vision in innumerable other areas. Ketter, at every key Juncture has shown that he is intent on discouraging any new advances for student independence and setting back gains already won. Here are some of the best examples: In the 1975-76 academic year, Ketter, hewing to an inappropriately strict interpretation of Mandatory Fee Guidelines, vetoed student funding of the New York Public Interest Research Group (NYPIRG) on campus. Although five other SUNY administrations (Albany, Binghamton, Buff State, New Paltz and Stonybrook) had chosen not to Interfere with disbursement of monies to NYPIRG on their campuses, Ketter asserted that "student fees should be used only to fund projects that have a direct and identifiable relationship with the student body in Buffalo.’’ In this, as in other cases, Ketter took it upon himself to decide whether the organization or activityin question met this dubious qualification In the same year Ketter set strict limits on the sales volume of the student run Record Co-op.Carl likely blocked a Student Association allocation of $1300 for buses that would transport students to an Attica support rally in Albany. The Ketter administration termed the rally a "political activity" and therefore outside the Board of Trustees’ guidelines concerning permissable expenditures of mandatory student fees. Students responded by occupying Hayes Hall (then the administration building)—an action that ended with 10 arrests. Although all civil charges against the .10 were eventually dropped, the administration insisted on suspending three students. In January 1976,Ketter ordered the suspension of funds for the student run pharmacy. The President maintained that the pharmacy had to be clearly educational in nature, requiring a transfer of the pharmacy’s license from Sub Board I (the student service corporation) to the University. Ketter’s philosophy could not have been summed up any clearer when he said that the license transfer would show that "the pharmacy was not operating Just for the convenience of the general student body." Ketter has also exercised administrative control Ketter said negative evaluations by faculty and students might not deter him from seeking to retain his post. No wonder? This comes from the President who received no confidence votes from both the undergraduate and graduate student senates a year and one half ago. An explosive front page article in the April 17,1978 Spectrum detailing broad administrative dissatisfaction with Ketter’s desultory attitudes and questionable performance as University President, generated this broad student call to action that pushed Ketter way off balance. At the t‘me it seemed that the unrelenting pressure and student and faculty fusilade might force Ketter to resign. After nine frustrating years of Robert L. Ketter, it is time for students to carefully examine how the President views them. Unfortunately the evaluation process provides for no or little effective student input, but it is more than conceivable that a strong student statement will not be ignored—at least as much as Ketter has ignored students. The referendum— where you can vote —will be held Tuesday and Wednesday. �feedback Garver doesn’t speak for the faculty To the Editor: The error in Dr. Carver’s reasoning is that the presidency is a "political” not a professional position. Thus the concept of independent and exclusive peer review is inapplicable. Would anyone be happy if the presidents of three foreign countries came to America for three days to decide on the fate of the President of the United States? We do not object to having throe qualified people evaluate the campus; we object (a) to their report being the sole official evaluation, and (b) to this campus evaluation replacing an in depth We wish to respond to Newton Garver’s defense of the university review process which was recently imposed upon us. Garver's rhetoric implies that he used logical arguments to justify his conclusions, but he does not. The new procedures do not “simply extend the principle of peer review to the President." They ask outsiders to come in to evaluate the campus. First, the president is no longer the focal point of the process, but an incidental component. The review team is asked to spend no more than three days here, and while here they are to evaluate the whole campus. Such a short visit for such a large and complex situation can only lead to a superficial analysis. Previously, although the process was not satisfactory, at least the evaluation committee, in part, consisted of members of the constituency served by the President, their charge was more definite and their time was not so rigidly restricted. Second, the principle of peer review as it is normally understood is not appropriately applied to the presidency in the manner that Garver suggests. We certainly agree that professional peer review is an important method to evaluate professional competence. Physicians should evaluate the quality of health care provided by other physicians. Faculty members should evaluate the quality of academic performance of their colleagues. A university president, however, does not retain such a position because that is his profession. He does so because his leadership qualities aid and abet the workings of the university. Citizens in a political community generally elect their leaders, whether the leaders are city councilmen or governors. The university president is responsible to his constituency much in the way a political leader is responsible to his community. The problem is to weight the relative influence of the components. Since the university’s charge (the acquisition and dissemination of knowledge) is primarily the function of the university faculty, and since the president's role is to facilitate the execution of the charge, faculty should have a major role in judging his performance. Other members of his constituency should also have their say. evaluation of the President. We disagree with Carver when he states that the new guidelines do not affect our rights. They affect our rights in several ways. We had been led to believe that the President served a specific, although renewable, five year term in office. When a term of that nature expires those In positions of authority make a conscious decision either to continue the individual in office or to replace him. The quality of performance that individual must exhibit to justify renewal is much higher than that required to complete an ongoing term. In general, a person is removed during a term in office only for gross incompetence or malfeasance. Supposedly, she or he would need positive leadership performance to justify a new term. Now that the President has no specified term he can remain Indefinitely by only meeting negative criteria. That could lower the quality of live of the entire community. The recommendations of the Faculty Senate Ad Hoc Committee on Presidential Evaluation Procedures were consistent with the old guidelines. They recommended a survey and public meetings to generate information about the President's performance. In a community such as this where retribution is considered by some to be a possibility, an anonymous questionnaire is far more likely to measure sentiment accurately than are attributable statements. Also, justified written and oral comments, it negative to the incumbant, are far more likely to be voiced they are nonattributable. We personally know of individual faculty members who will not sign a petition against the proposed procedures because they are afraid of retribution. How are they expected to give public negative comments It they have any? The proposed procedures are strongly biased in favor of expression of favorable opinion of the campus and of presidential performance. We are of course going ahead with the survey. The Faculty Senate overwhelmingly recommended ignoring the prohibitions In the guidelines. Dr. Corbally apparently concurs with the decision by the Faculty Senate. We regret that Carver feels that the survey is of minor importance. It is a way to allow every faculty member to voice an opinion of the campus and of presidential performance. We are of course going ahead with the survey. The Faculty Senate overwhelmingly recommended ignoring the prohibitions in the guidelines. Dr. Corbally apparently concurs with the decision by the Faculty Senate. We regret that Carver feels that the survey is of minor Importance. It is a way to allow every faculty member to voice an opinion without coercion or retribution. A good survey is the bast technique to use to get an accurate account of sentiment. The interviews that Carver is conducting with faculty members are necessarily selective and incomplete. They need to be supplemented by survey techniques. Both sources of information should be relied upon equally, and the survey data should be made public. We must thwart the attack on freedom of speech contained In these prohibitions. The ability and integrity of Drs. Corbally, Young and Robinson are in no way Impugned here; they are not even an issue. Because of the limited time allotted to the evaluators—no more than three days, and one of the days selected is a Sunday; because of the change in the tenure of the appointment of the presidency; because of the change in focus of the evaluation from the president to the campus; because of the prohibitions on kinds of admissable evidence; because of the lack of collegeality these changes Imply; and because of the weakening of an already weak faculty input, the Faculty Senate overwhelmingly voted to repudiate the new procedures. Furthermore, over 200 faculty members have already signed a petition protesting them. Therefore, In supporting these procedures, Newton Garver, Chairman of the Faculty Senate, does not speak for the faculty. Erwin M. Segal Mark E. Shechner Laurence A.

I trust you will print this one as well, (or I too am deeply concerned. Mr. Schwartz. I feel that your letter is a reflection of your prejudices as you accuse Reverend Jesse Jackson of racism. Surely you have no solid evidence that Rev. Jackson is anti-Semitic. I noted that you had no quotations from Rev. Jackson that confirm your beliefs. I am of the Baptist faith, as is Rev. Jackson. I have met this man, and find him to be of high moral standards and respectable seminarian background. I feel that you have, without proper character examination, made a dishonorable statement about Jesse Jackson. To say that ".. . whatever Jackson says is illogical, racist and only for his own egotistical purposes", is quite childish and off-base. May I call your attention to a radio broadcast that I heard this summer on WMCA radio in New York City. The issue dealt with the Black-oriented organizations such as: the NAACPand the Urban League, and their recognition of the PLO. It was clarified by Horace Morris—the Chairman of the New York Urban League, that the recognition of this group does not necessarily indicate the actual supporting of its beliefs and terroist tactics. That day, the radio station’s telephone lines were swamped with callers attacking the efforts of these Black leaders. I tried to call in to give my support, however thfe lines remained tied throughout the end of the show. Thus, I am pleased to have the opportunity to express my opinion now. Perhaps the PLO is a terrorist group which has no intention of becoming a peaceful society. Vet, how will we Know this is true if no one will negotiate with them. What Rev. Jackson and his followers believe is that there can be a peaceful turn of events which must be preceded by understanding and cooperation. Perhaps before blasting the acts of others, we should examine our own. Here we have those who are trying desperately to contend with and possibly pacify a destructive organization—and all too close, we have people like Barry Schwartz, who condemn them before they even have a chance. Wake up! Black people aren't always out to rob you blind, we have a sense of consciousness also. It’s about time we all become committed to strengthen the special historic relationship that Blacks and Jews have shared in the U.S. All I ask is that we judge one another with open minds. Brenda L. Moore News about newspapers Support for the Record To the Editor. To the Editor: I am sending this letter to your student paper, The Spectrum, with the hope that my feelings can be conveyed to most, if not all of you at the University. It deals mainly with the recent criticism of our student paper, through one of your papers,The Other One by a student here at Buffalo State. I disagree with those students who feel that the Record is not fair in giving equal time to opposing points of view on important issues. I simply can’t imagine anyone making such accusations. The Record is well mixed on issues such as the mandatory activity fee, gay rights, ROTC, Love Canal, and many, many This letter is in regard to an article printed by one of your student newspapers called The Other One. The article puts down our student newspaper, The Record. here at Buffalo State. The author, who is a Buffalo State student, complains that The Record is notoriously middle of the road and hates to create waves with the administration and Student more topics. The job of a newspaper is to print news. They must take an objective view of events leading up to each story. In most newspapers, there is an editorial section where readers can express themselves through the use of the paper. It is true of course that the paper reserves the right not to publish an editorial, but a good 4 9 Government. I disagree with her point of view for the following reasons. 1. As one who reads the Record on a regular basis, I feel that the Record takes an objective point of view and gives the reader both sides of an issue 2. The Record has been in conflict with our student government and administration in the past. The Record is not afraid to speak out when they have to. 3. The Record publicizes students’opinions on issues in the editorial section. 4. The author of the article, printed in your student newspaper, The Other One , had an editorial in the Record about her point of view. It regarded an issue here at Buffalo State on the same day, Oct. 18, 1979, when both papers were available to the student body. newspaper will. I would like to think that the Record is one of those good papers. read the Record religiously and find it to be quite informative. The Record published just about every editorial sent in. Students should, however, continue to send in their editorials and not be discouraged if they are not printed. The Record here at Buff State works for the students, and I have no doubt that the U.B. papers do just the same. 5. Tm surprised that she is complaining about the Record, when at the same lime, the Record published her point of view. Brian Quinn Bull State Student Edward Falterman Buffalo State student 1 Investigate before condemning To the Editor: I am responding to the letter of D. Manka which appeared in Monday’s (10/29/79) The Spectrum. First of all I would like to contradict Mr. Manka's statement that Thundercurrent and The Other One are wasteful publications. Each serves a distinct and necessary purpose on campus and to call them wasteful is being less than fair. Thundercurrent Is a weekly feature periodical with emphasis on feature stories, poetry, columns and other elements of creative expression which you will rarely find in any other publication on campus. The question of whether this sort of publication is necessary is undebaleable since students do require an outlet for creativeness and Thundercurrent does seem to fill that vogue. The Other One on the other hand is a different sort of publication unlike any other weekly student periodical on campus. It was created to be a learning experience besides being a completely collective organization. While there may be similarity on covering certain University issues, they give a different perspective to think about. Competition is good especially in journalism. No publication should have a sole monopoly over a source of media considering the significant persuasiveness of the media. That is we have the N.Y. Times competing with the N.Y. Daily News or the Buffalo Evening News competing with the Courier Express just to name a few. A second point I would like to contradict is Mr, Manka’s statement that these publications are "bagging” for staff. The ads placed in every student periodical are just to keep attracting new people to the ranks, which is something that is very important for a publication or any organization. What's wrong with getting fresh ideas into an organization? In his letter Mr. Manka talks about thousands of papers going into the waste bin untouched while thousands more are unwanted and unread. This is a grand generalization which is sensationalistlc and inaccurate. Allow me to point out that the press run of The Other One is 7000 and Thundercurrents is 12,000. These are not exceedingly large amounts of press runs considering that there are approximately 24,000 students, not including faculty staff and other support positions in the University. The overall responsibility of each periodical rests in the Editorial Board or its equivalent. It anyone not already involved in the publication could see the hard work that is done.to put out a real publication. I doubt Mr. Manka would have questioned the integrity of these publications. Since the subsidies to thesepublications are a minimum to put out the publication real organization must be in existence to put out a weekly publication. If anyone still has any doubts about these or any publication please investigate them before condemning them. You just might want to get involved. Michael Shetton Director of Publications Sub-Board I, Inc. Irony To the Editor: D. Manka’s letter criticizing the proliferation of oncampus newspapers combined some well founded points with false generalizations. His/her basic point that newspaper publishing is responsible for the denuding of our forests is undeniably correct. His/her comments have led the Other One to institute an experimental paper recycling program. It is D. Manka's other contentions which I would like to deal with now. Manka charges that The Other One is little more than a vanity press with an excessive pressrun. Manka further states “thousands of newspapers go into the waste bin untouched." The implication that the Alternative News Collective, publishers of The Other One throw away papers at the end of the day is simply not true. We have limited our UB circulation to 7,000 copies {The Spectrum publishes 15,000 copies; Thundercurrenl, 14,000 copies) because that is the number of papers we can reasonably expect to distribute on Thursdays. When the day is over, we collect olir 100-200 left-over copies for distribution to advertisers. As for Manka’s suggestion that we merge with one of the other campus papers, that would be an impossibility. We have already tried to effect a merger with Thundercurrent. Since we are the only paper a collective (run by consensus, with everyone having an equal voice), we found St difficult to merge with a hierarchically structured paper. Also, we, unlike the other papers, do not give editors stipends. It would be hard to convince an editor of The Spectrum or Thundercurrent to give up their stipends and titles to join our paper. published by call for us to get off our “the needless destruction of acres of forests" is intriguing. After all, Manka him/herself mounted that soapbox when his/her News Overkill letter was submitted to The Spectrum. Considering it was published in 15,000 copies of the paper, it wasted 270,000 square inches of newsprint.

The spirit was radiated throughout the seven wins and four losses of the regular season play and carried on right up to the plays such an important role in our success,” commended Dimmick. “Her determination, dedication and years of experience have been invaluable to the team.” Both Clay and Dimmick have already started working on next season. They are both optimistic of winning the Royal’s last game when they were denied in the finals of the state tournament, 1-0 to William Smith College. “It could have gone either way,” said Dimmick. Clad in running shorts, t-shirt and running shoes, Dimmick reminisced of the Royals’ performance during the Division III state tournament. From there, they hope to advance to the Regionals and possibly the Division III Nationals. Both have already started their recruiting program, searching for those players who are well-skilled and “know what it’s all about.” Dimmick, in order to build a squad around her philosophy, would prefer a team of 18 girls working together as a team. They did it this year, she said, rather than with one or two tournament. “We were a surprise to a lot people—especially of Manhattanville (the first team they met in the tournament). We were so psyched and so ready. We peaked at the right time—that weekend.” The Royals defeated Manhattanville last Friday by a score of 3-2. Jeanne Quinlaven, who was tied with Marty Kratzke and Holly Helfrich for most assists with five, finally scored her first UB goal. “She was well deserved of that first goal,” commented Dimmick. Jill Cherbow was credited with another goal, raising her goal total for the season to four. Co-captain and leading scorer Vicky Jackson tallied her ninth. UB’s second game on Friday was against the University of Rochester. A 5-2 victory put the Royals into the finals. “You could actually see our team break down UR —tear them apart,” stated the coach. UB’s attack clicked. The defense was strong and steady. Cherbow and Helfrich each scored one and Vicky Jackson and freshman Marty Kratzke blasted two into the net to provide the punch to the team’s effort. The next stop was the finals on Saturday. The Royals faced William Smith College, the favored team, but lost a tough stars. one, 1-0. “They cut for the ball and would cut our player off,” Dimmick. ‘‘They were a little bit quicker, they had a little bit more attack and a bit steadier defense.” To re-cap the season, the Royals scored 32 goals against opposing teams and allowed only 20 goals into their net —giving credit to a strong defense. Robin Dulmage, playing her first year in field hockey, was outstanding throughout the entire season totalling 123 saves and leaving herself with an excellent average of 8.8 saves per game. “She’s an athlete; she knows how to move,” praised her coach. “To put on the goalie pads and go out on the field like that (without any prior experience) is just a gutsy thing explained to do.” Another first-year person “Each one of the kids made some sacrifices,” explained Dimmick. “Each type of individual (including the coaches) has to make some type of sacrifice. We all feel that there’s a ‘oneness.’ It was evident throughout the season, when two players would exchange hugs or handshakes before a game. We’re a team. The UB men’s bowling team finished sixth out of 20 teams at the Mountaineer Classic Tournament in West Virginia last weekend. The Bulls totalled 789S for the nine-game event, finishing just nine pins behind Ohio State. Penn State won the tournament with a total of 8269, beating out Robert Morris, Indiana University and Virginia Polytechnic Institute. Under tough lane conditions, the Bulls were in fourth place after six games, but late surges by Ohio State and Indiana University dropped them to sixth. Leading the scoring for the Bulls was southpaw Dave Bombard who averaged 183 for the tournament and had a high three-game set of 564. Willy Formanek was second on UB’s squad with a 180 average and a 236 single-game high. Other Buffalo bowlers contributing to the effort were Jim Duerr, who totalled 572 for three games, including a high of 222, Gary Baccile 205-578, Scott Seier 212-570, and Pierre Muldermans 215 and 207. “The team made a very good showing dispite the disadvantage of not having an alternate. This first tournament provided a good learning experience for the team and should lead to even better performances the rest of the year,” coach Paul Tzinieris commented. Currently the Bulls are gearing up for their debut in the Western New York Collegiate Conference which starts on November 5 and will be held every Monday night in Squire Lanes. Such teams as Erie Community College, Canisius, Niagara Community College, and Buffalo State College will vie for the top spot in the league. eGori Chinese Lucian C.Pariato Attorney at -Law 3118 Main St.-837-6776 COMBINATION PLATE SPECIALS $2.75 A Boneless Chicken, Roast Pork, Fried Rice A Egg Roll B.

Looking at the team schedule and roster, Poland spoke highly of her bowlers. “We should be ranked within the lop 10 teams again this season,” the coach boasted. “Although we lost two of our best bowlers ever to come to Buffalo (Cindy Coburn and Sue Fulton) we have filled in with very strong girls.” Among the returning keglers is Pam Detig, a sophomore transfer student from Erie Community College. Detig was one of five bowlers chosen last year to represent Buffalo in the National All-Star Team. Coburn was also chosen as one of the nation’s top five women bowlers. “Pam is a strong addition to the team,” Poland noted. “She has the second highest individual team average—180. Fourth-year star Gail Simmons also has returned to ” Simmons boasts a strong 185 pin relying on Gail heavily,” Poland remarked. Simmons excelled at the National Championships last season, finishing fourth out of 69 competitors with a 190-pin average. Lori Mostellar has also returned this season for her fourth year of competition. Poland said, “She has a the Buffalo roster. average.

It will include Penn Stale—last season’s national champions—along with schools situated in the Western New York area. Barb Irwin, a freshman from Amherst, holds a 175-pin average going into the new season. “Barb was the only woman on the men’s varsity team at Amherst High School,” the coach pointed out. Other members include second-year bowlers Sharon Ruszczyk, Patty Wheelock, Barb Pryce. Barb Schwind and Donna Prestia, and freshmen Jackie McLaughlin and Janice Toporick. UB is expanding its bowling program this year, setting up a Western New York collegiate bowling conference. Men and women will compete every Monday night for 10 to 12 weeks.

Do you lend support to the making and showing of a film that depicts the destruction of human beings as self-inflicted and deserved, as Cruising does? As writeractivist Doug Ireland has stated, “Cruising is a snufffilm.” Vbur free speech argument does hot stand up any more than did claims that Nazis had a constitutional guarantee to march through Skokie calling for the gassing of Jews. Cruising is an incitement to murder and beat gays as was Anita Bryant’s hate campaign, which resulted in a nation-wide wave of brutal attacks on gay men. Finally, you cannot rationalize by quoting the producers of the film about the nature of their product; I have read the script printed in a major gay magazine, which is absolute evidence that Cruising is a vomit-bag glorification of killings of gays. Cruising has no right to be supported by public protection the New York City police, who have severely beaten protesting gays nor does it have a right to exist and be shown publicly. An outraged gay community will see to it that this threat to our lives will never be shown. In gay pride, Steve Keller — 1680 N.

Come now. Of all the pious, art-for-art’s sake defenses I have read of this particular piece of exploitation, yours is the most ludicrous. The First Amendment protects citizens from the government, not Hollywood from the citizens, gay or otherwise. If Friedkin had decided to re-make Birth of a Nation on 125th Street, blacks would have been outraged. Any distinction you perceive between that and filming a movie that will lead to gays being beaten (at the least) in the streets of Greenwich Village must spring from your own lack of concern for the lives of gays. Every version of the script discussed thus far makes it clear that the movie’s core will be violent attacks on gays..

What went wrong is that the concert went so right; overtime fees to the huge Garden staff were necessary because the shows cooked on till 1:30 some nights.

Hats off to Maxell, their UDXL cassette established a new standard of sound quality for all cassettes. The new DAK ML90 starts another new technology. A technology of protection from Hi frequency loss and of extreme reliability. Later we are going to offer you valuable bribes, Just for testing these cassettes, risk free; so read on! YOUR TIME IS PRECIOUS Imagine yourself Just finishing recording the second side of a 90 minute cassette and horrors, the cassette jams. Tape is wound around the capstan, your recorder may be damaged and you’ve just wasted 90 minutes of your time and perhaps lost a great recording off FM. Enter DAK. We manufacture over one million units of cassette tape each month in our factory. Many of our tapes are used for high speed duplication where they are recorded at speeds up to 8 times normal. This Is the ultimate stress for cassettes and causes more failures than any other use. When we first started, 12 years ago, DAK’s cassettes failed, just like many others. So we installed over $20,000 worth of high speed duplication equipment at our factory and set out to design the perfect cassette. X MOLYSULFIDE Failure after failure. For six years we substituted, remade, tested and retested until we positively linked the major cause of cassette failure to the slip sheets, or liners In the cassette. Evidently, 3M and TDK were hot on our heels, because they have now also come out with new liners. We developed polyester slip sheets with raised spring loaded ridges to guide each layer of tape as it winds. We coat the liners with a unique formulation of graphite and a new chemical, molysulfide. Molysulfide reduces friction several times better than graphite and allows the tape to move more freely within the cassette. The molysulfide is tougher and makes the liner much more resistant to wo&r. HI frequency protection! Tape is basically plastic, and as it. moves within the cassette Internal friction causes the build up of static electricity, much as rubbing a balloon against your hair, or scuffing your shoes on a carpet in dry weather. Static electricity within the cassette was drastically reduced by the low friction of the molysulfide and easily bled off, so that its tendency to erase very high frequencies was drastically reduced. A very Important consideration for often played tapes. MAXELL IS BETTER Yes, honestly. If you own a $1000 cassette deck like a Nakamicl, the fre- quency responses of Maxell UDXL or TDK SA are superior 1o DAK and you just might be able to hear the difference. DAK ML has a frequency response that is flat from 40cps to 14,500 ±3db. Virtually all cassette recorders priced under $600 are flat ±3db from 40cps to about I2,000cps, so we have over 2000cps to spare, and you’ll probably never notice the difference. No apology. We feel that we have equaled or exceeded the mechanical reliability of virtually all cassettes and offer one of the best frequency responses in the industry.

Nosferatu, like Herzog’s not-to-be-missed Aguirre, the Wrath of God, provokes meditation as much as horror. No great amount of time is given over to lurking, to the springing of inevitable blood ambushes; more is given to actionlinked characterizations, detailing how love, anguish, sexuality, horror, compulsion and death work on and within the human heart. The laughter of people with fast-food brains aside, this is a profound him. Herzog aims to get sodl-deep, and there’s precision to his plans; hardly a motion or an expression or a landscape is recorded that doesn’t resonate with the atmosphere and intention of the movie. Isabelle Adjani, so beautiful she seems not of Earth, is the central character as Lucy Harker. Women exist in most vampire tales to be seduced, but though Adjani does trigger Dracula’s bizarre longing and willfulness, she also fully understands his menace, before anyone else, and by herselfdestroys the seemingly omnipotent monster. Incredible visions anchor the movie in memory townspeople carrying processions of fresh, unpainted coffins in lines that look from overhead like outsized tapeworms passing through the city’s broad streets; mummified human remains (filmed in Guanajuato, Mexico) that appear still desirous of life; slow shots of single bats, swimming through air like sharks through salt water. Laughter is certainly a great commodity, but those who take Nosferatu straight will see an eloquent, soulful masterwork. — — — wants. But this isn’t West Side Story and Stephanie is no Maria.

A line spoken earlier reverberates as he overlooks the spectacular white cliffs of England, “I don’t want to be the same as everybody!” Quadrophmia is a difficult film to relate strongly to.

Brooks; directed by Alan J. Pakula Well, well, well, another mid-life crisis movie. This time Bergen throws away hubby Reynolds (if anyone can imagine throwing Reynolds away...) in order to ‘find herself” in her new songwriting career. Reynolds returns to Boston to build a new life for himself. We should be grateful this wasn’t titled An Unmarried Man. Jill Clayburgh is excellent as a wary schoolteacher who wants nothing to do with a separated man (she changes her mind, no surprise). Reynolds is Reynolds; he's not a wooden Indian any more, but he still reacts to every situation with a cute, incredulous stare, as if he’s amazed to be part of such silliness. Bergen is the revelation; she plays a woman so self-absorbed she doesn't realize she's a buffoon at least when she's singing, and sing Bergen does, loudly, with panache, and a terrible voice. When she Reynolds into a motel room reunion, her first move is not to douse the lights and hit the sack; no, she turns on her handy cassette machine and sings to him, to his extreme discomfort. Bergen never flinches, she gives her all, and her all is definitely enough. After many years of being primarily decorative, Bergen seems to have finally decided to act. Our gain. But in spite of all these terrific stars and a few very funny scenes. Starling Over never really gets started. It’s slick, predictable, it exploits the same old familiar situations (we know it’s hard to launch a new — Promises in the Dark, starring Martha Mason, Michael Brandon, Susan Clark, Ned Beatty and Kathleen Beller; written by Coring Mandel; directed by Jerome Heilman. This is a straightforward him about a 17year-old girl (Beller) who dies of cancer, and how her illness affects the lives of her parents (Clark and Beatty), friends and doctor (Mason). It’s an earnest effort to de-glamorize death, which in movies and television programs traditionally takes place with perfect makeup, teary eyes and trembling chin. The subplot of Mason's affair with radiologist Brandon never quite jells; it seems to exist only to show how Belter’s courage has inspired Mason to live a fuller, more compassionate life (their affair proceeds like all movie affairs cutely. There’s no such thing as an uncute cinematic courtship anymore). Better to spend the time showing us the daily strain of living with a terminal cancer patient, so thatwe'd better understand the rather odd behavior of the parents. I’ve be6n assured that’s exactly the way people act in such situations, but the film should have made that clearer to those of us fortunate enough not to have lived through similar tragedies. The most affecting parts of the film are those moments when Beller spends time with her boyfriend and girlfriends; they are all high-spirited, intelligent, likeable kids, except that she’s dying and they aren’t. The unmentioned contrast is more poignant than all the hand-wringing. — Judith Sims �November, 1979 m AUTHOR HARRY CREWS squire. magazines such Playboy Despite Crews’ rising literary star, his unconventional lifestyle has earned him more than a few detractors in the academic community at UF. Nonetheless, students pack his lectures and there is always a lengthy waiting list fot class registration. “1 don’t understand why a man like Crews is allowed to teach at any top college," said one of his peers at UF. “Professors are supposed to set an example for students not self-destruct in front of them.’’ , — JOHN K1ELY “Crews may occasionally come to class behind a few drinks,” countered one ofhis past students, “but Crews drunk is better than ninety-nine percent of the other professors in this university. He cares about his students: he gives them their money’s worth in class, and he treats them like human beings. Besides, he’s the best w liter in Florida.” Crews needs the academic life. The university gives him a touchstone to return a place to finetune his craft. His life on the edge provides raw material for stories the basis for his insights into the human condition. “Being vulnerable,” as Qrews calls it, has caused him to be cut, broken and boiled alive. As a child. Crews stumbled into a cast-iron wash pot filled with water hot enough to scaldthe hide off a hog. “1 broke my neck when I was seventeen,” Crews said, leaning his 215-pound bulk over a vat to — — thing with it. Otherwise you just warp it, distort it, whatever. Secondly, the people I wrote about are still alive. Or their children are still alive. And I have better things to do with my time than to make people feel bad about themselves. “The book is obviously a search for my father, whom I never knew, whodied when I was twenty-one months old. There is nothing unusual in that, it doesn’t make me unique, except that'in my case it influenced everything.” A Childhood, like most ofCrews’ works, is �November, 1979 11 seriesof stories carefully woven around a central narrative line. The stories are told in an authentic southern voice with a compassionate yet never condescending tone. Crews evokes sympathy and understanding for his characters through incisive use of dialogue, and a painstaking attention to detail and mood. “The night was dark as only the swamp » can be dark and they could not see each other there in the bunkhousc. The rhythmic stroke of the dredge’s engine came counterpoint to my daddy's shaky voice as he told Cecil what was wrong. “When Cecil finally did speak, he said: ‘I hope it was good, boy. I sho do’... “He had not wanted her, but they had been in the swamp for three years.. .So since he could not have what he wanted, he tried to want what he could have, but it had been miserable, all of it because of the way she sounded and the way she smelled and the mosquitoes clotted about their faces thick as a veil and the heavy black flies crawled over their legs. “‘It weren't that good,’ daddy said.” -d Childhood Crews is a storyteller in the oral tradition of the deep South. His'talent grew from hours of sitting on a floor with a sugar-tit in his mouth, listening to talk at quilting parties, from listening to men converse as they dipped their feet into the washtub around the fire at night. “I started out to be and only want to be a storyteller,” Crews said. He spooned a small amount of liquid off the greens and pork concoction and tasted it with satisfaction.Outside, Crews’ teenage son and a friend romped through the woods surrounding the house. Crews’ wife, Sally, a thin, energetic woman whom he’s married three times, watched from the porch. “If you’re a Storyteller in the traditional sense,” he continued, “then your strong suit has got to be the narrative line. It’s called, after all, the narrative art. That’s not much to want to be I reckon, but that's all I want to be. 1 want to tell stories. Stories which hopefully inform the human situation. After all, the keepers of the legends and myths in primitive societies were always the shaman, the priest, the throwers of the chicken bones, the lookers of the goat entrails... And I think that’s what telling stories is all about. “When I started out, 1 thought it was enough to learn to write well, which God knows is hard enough. But unfortunately that’s not enough. Ultimately you have to have something to say. And that includes everybody,” Crews said. He pressed his head back and expanded his neck. His hair rimmed his head like a shaggy halo and his earring glinted in the late afternoon light filtering in through the kitchen window. “1 don’t know what my associates at the university think of my work: they see me being sent to Alaska to do a story and I write about a whore having her ass tattoed while blowing cocaine up her nose. What the hell is that?” Crews’ unorthodox style of journalism has made him one of the most sought after, highly-paid free lancers in the business. Blood and Grits, his most recent book, is comprised of non-fiction works which first appeared in Esquire and Playboy. Before you have settled into the book the ice in your drink has not yet melted Crews’ has told tales of a fellow named “Dog” plighting his troth with a 300-pound Frosty-Creme waitress and of an elephant being hanged to death for stomping a little girl. The collection has been generally well received, but one reviewer, Christopher Lahmann-Haupt of the New York Times, raised Crews’ hackles. “He said he didn’t believe an elephant —- — was hanged from a winch in Erwin, Tennessee,” Crews growled. “All he had to do was pick up the phone and call Erwin and see if there was one hanged there. Hell, there was a period of time during the Thirties in which there was this genocide of elephants throughout the South. “You can never trust a man who has three initials in front of his name or a hyphenated last name. And the next time I see Christopher Lahmann-Haupt, I'm gonna take the hyphen right out of his GIVE YOUR SOUND SYSTEM A LIFT WITH speoterUPPCRS • name." • Ernest Hemingway once said no one has the right to dig up an author's journalistic work —writing done against deadlines, writing done out of necessity and compare it to work he has written to write the best he can. Crews feels no such qualms. “The technique and craft of fiction is there in all of my non-fiction. Dialogue is there, character is there, place is there, transitions are there. There are all kinds of transitions; spiritual transitions, emotional transitions —it’s all there. But, as Robert Frost said, ‘It’s bad when it gets too bookish.’ You can’t allow yourself to get isolated and cut off from the street.” While Crews often justifies or at least explains acts of violence in his writing, he is not a particularly violent man. His athlete's body has sagged with age and abuse, and whenhe is drawn intobrawls he rarely hits more than the ground. He sees his fascination wtih blood sports cock and dog fighting as a natural, ingrained result of his southern rural upbringing. “I’ve always been addicted to blood sports of all kinds,” Crews, also a falconing enthusiast, wrote of the illegal games. “And 1 make no apology for it. Where I come from, we don’t confuse animals with people. We don't sleep with poodles or whisper baby talk to horses.” He was in south Florida recently working on a pit bull fighting story tor Esquire : “I wasn’t bullying up to anybody, I was just trying to see the end of the fight. I thought this one dog was going to quit because the other dog had been at his throat twenty minutes. But the dog got to his feet and shook the other dog out and kicked his tail. I wanted to see the end, so 1 asked this fellow to move. I was so excited, I didn’t notice how really big he was. Jack, when he hit me I went down like a sack of flour. Things happen, you know. You’re subject to get hurt at a dog fight. “I gel into things sometimes, you can’t deny that. The world is a very, very dangerous thing for anything mortal. But what the hell are you going to do because it's dangerous? Go hide in a closet?" Of all the dangerous situations Crews has put himself in while working on a major magazine piece, his latest assignment may be the most hazardous to date. He’s just finished an installment of Playgirl's “His Turn” column, which features a different male contributor each month. Crews’ opening line should have feminists nationwide calling for his head: “I’m sick and tired of women being in my face and on my case." “I mean, 1 don’t even know what to call them anymore,” Crews explained, tugging on his earring. “‘Lady’ will do in some parts of the country, ‘woman’ will do in others. But the word that stands up best is ‘person,’ which is the most faceless, bloodless, anonymous word one of the worst in the language.” Will Crews make the ultimate commitment to his art? Will he pose in the nude? “No,” he said with a wide grin. “But hell, if they had asked a few years ago, 1 would have gladly shucked down.” 1 ADJUSTABLE SPEAKER STANDS • FELT TABS AT SUPPORT POINTS TO PREVENT SCRATCHING NO ASSEMBLY NEEDED WALNUT STAIN BMM ■ W ■ M I ■ • ■ •=L„$19.95| a pair A few Inches can make all the difference in the way your speakers sound sitting on thick carpeting can deaden their response, and direct contact with tile or hardwood floor can make them shrill and sharp.

His second album for the Steeplechase label of Denmark shows a broad musical scope and a knack for choosing empathetk cohorts. Reedman Frank Foster, trumpeter Richard Williams, bassist Buster Williams and drummer Roy Brooks, A-l New \brk pros ail, dig into this program of traditional jazz works with elan and sensitivity. Ruiz' “Dedication to the Cooker" is reasonably straightforward until the bridge, where he starts tossing 5/4 and 4/4 time back and forth, a rhythmic diversion that keeps everyone on his toes. The title track opens with all voices playing free, an exhilarating yet slightly chaotic sound.Foster tickles the heights with his wispy soprano while Ruiz blocks out idea-forming chords. Bassist Williams uses small figures and long runs, mumbling low and whistling high. Ruiz’ solo begins clear and cool, but soon he’s a mad bull on the loose roaring wildly over the keyboard. A ruminative duet with bass and drums ends this fervent piece. Side two has a rich, poignant ballad played by Foster on tenor sax, and a rockhouse blues. Zan Stewart Fleetwood Mac Tusk (Warner Brothers) The label of Fleetwood Mac's longawaited link says it straight: “Special thanks from the band to Lindsey Buckingham." Most of the interest- ing material, spread thin in an otherwise typical Mac offering, is Buckingham's. His “lUsk,” the most ambitious song on the album, benefits from Mick Fleetwood's propulsive beat and hauntingly claustrophobic production. “Not That Funny” is as close to hardrock V roll as Mac will ever get. “The Ledge” is a surprisingly raw stab at rockabilly. Besides his usual steady-as-a-rock drumming, Fleetwood's aggressive double-timing in “What Makes Vmj Think Vbu're the One,” literally carries the tune. Christine McVie's long suit is the lilting love ballad, represented here by "Over and Over." which echoes her work in Future Camts. But her “Honey Hi” and “Brown Eyes” are built on a single melody line without so much as a chorus change. Luxurious production gives an illusion of freshness, but there's nothing unique in the songs. “Think About Me" is a successful rocker, something TUsk could use more of. Given her vocal and artistic limitations, it's no wonder Stevie Nicks’ contributions are the most predictable. “Sisters of the Moon” is her token gypsy claptrap, arranged like "Stairway to Heaven.” “Beautiful Child” is awash with the naive lyricism that makes Nicks' writing so tiresome: “I’m not a child anymore/I'm tall enough to reach for the stars/l’m old enough to love from afar/...I will do as I’m told.” Tiisk’s superb production may placate old fans— there's still a huge audience for smooth-as-milk music. But without Buckingham's creative boost this album, which cost $1 million to make, would be the costliest puff pastry in history. J*W Sllberman key from a slant-eyed chickey.” Vulgar, alcohol-laced humor makes Prine sound less desperate than usual. Still, there’s Roly Salley’s achingly unhappy "Killin’ the Blues,” the Viet Nam vet of Saigon who exclaims, “The static in my attic’s gettin' ready to blow,” and the moody, unreal “Down by the Side of the Road,” about the mysterious shooting of the singer's girlfriend. Offsetting these weird, affecting mumblings are a series of amicably humorous tunes “Cold War," a drunken Texas waltz, the raucous “Ubangi Stomp” and Elvis Presley’s lusty old “Baby Let’s Play House.” — Pink Cadillac is about as uncom- mercial and basic as a record can get these days. Yet repeated playings won’t wear down its appeal. The playing is pliant, but not dragfootedly sloppy. Prine, hobnobbing with the mid-Fifties ghosts of Memphis, Tennessee, has backed off a step from his sullen singer/songwriter stance to make an album that sounds just as great as it reads. Steven X. Rea The Last LA Explosion (Bomp) The Motels The Motels (Capital) The Pop Go! (Arista 20/20 20/20 (Epic) Los Angeles hasn't offered much in recent years to the growth of rock and roll, but perhaps this lull will be reversed by the flurry of new wave- inspired activity, the results of which are now appearing on vinyl. Among the earliest and most impressive releases are thosefrom 20/20, the Pop, the Motels and the Last. 20/20 is a band in the true collaborative sense. Songwriting, lead vocals and guitar leads are shared by guitarist Steve Allen, bassist Ron Flynt and Chris Silagyi, who adds third-part harmonies as well as guitar and simple synthesizer lines. Mike Gallo's drumming propels their tunes into great dance music. The Pop helped initiate the LA music surge, but, since signing to Arista a year ago, they’ve been absent from the scene. Go! seems detached, concealing the wonderful street band instincts of the Pop's first album, independently released on Automatic. Only “She Really Means That Much to Me” and “Shakeaway” reflect the earlier reverence for infectious melodies. Martha Davis, lyricist and singer for the Motels, makes each number an intimate experience, her expressive voice tuqing songs of lonely frustration like "Total Control” and "Counting" into emotional pleas. She likes to twist words; in ‘Dressing Up,” the lyrics “outfitted to fit in” reduce the rules of High fashion to a childish game. The album’s — — guitar interplay is also exceptional, as is Martin Jourard's stirring sax work. The Last take an aggressive stance touching at times on social themes. The album's generous cuts vary from folk rpck, surf music and acid punk to the Mersey beat sound, but occasional lyric blurtings like “l-ove is a gobbler, love is a turkey,” obscure the Last's intensity and on LA Explosion, potent use of dynamics. Quality is recovered with the fierce yet �November, 1979 '-T humourous slagging of “A Fool Like \bu," the well-constructed “Looking (could this be?) a discoriff. “Ail of My Love,” another highlight, is a supat Vbu” and others. reme love song in Zep’s grandiose, Vicki Arkoff primeval tradition.

All ten songs are Vicki Arkoff originals, except a reggae-lied reworking of his languid "Havana J.D.

Though a ever to emerge from the smogpots of mite slower in his fifth decade, Southern California, J.D. Souther Chuck Berry's still got it. has written twisted Steven X. Rea David Johansen In Style (Blue Sky) David Johansen's first solo album, David Johansen, successfully combined the devil-may-care raunch of his old band, the New Vbrk Dolls, and mainstream hard rock. In Style is smoother and more tuneful, but misses the mark. Johansen, who evokes Mick jagger while trying to sound like the Four Tops’ Levi Stubbs, fails to capture the dirtystreets romanticism he aims for. Worse, Johansen has gone in for cultural plundering. “She Knew She Was Falling in Love” cops reggae licks and stock Jamaican catchphrases to minimal effect. “Swaheto Woman,” a hapless meeting of Giorgio Moroder and the E Street Band, giddily advises the women of Soweto, the dreadful Johannesburg ghetto, to hold their heads up high, stand up for their rights, and they will be free. Bwana Dave doesn't say what to do should they get caught on the white side of town without passbooks. Elsewhere, “She” and "Wreckless Crazy” are typically frenzied Johansen rockers and “Melody” a straight cop from the Four Tops songbook. A wonderfully impudent sense of style, apparent on these last numbers, has always made Johansen's music enjoyable. It's ironic he should name an LP In Style just when that sense was least secure. Don Snowden Led Zeppelin In Through the Out Door (Swan Song) Though Led Zcp never actually called it quits, after three years away from the studio, this is effectively their comeback, album, with varied styles and influences represented. Jimmy Page bares some firmly planted country roots on "Hot Dog,” as disposable (here synonymous with commercial) a piece as Mak’er.” “Carouselambra” is a modernization of Physical Graffiti's majestic “Kashmir," with contrasting movements built on keyboards and as overlapincluding one with synthesizers, sometimes ping patterns — brilliantly songs like "New Kid in Town” for the Eagles and "White Rhythm and Blues” and "Faithless Love” for Linda Ronstadt. But his own career has never really jelled, perhaps due to Souther’s reputation for being a rock roll asshole. In this age of Pink Lady and Bee Gees, the fans want love, not malice. Which is too bad, because there’s more to Souther’s occasional fits of pique than all the falsetto jive talkin' in the world. Like Souther sings it, “The sun is sinkin' and people start thinkin' at twilight.” It’s at twilight that the music of J.D. Souther cuts & deepest. Merrill Shindler Jules and the Polar Bears Phonetics (Columbia) Jules and the Polar Bears, owners of the best band name in years, are a critics’ fave, which means that all the soft-between-the-ears ersatz intellectuals who write about rock put on their headphones, listen to their records about 97 times at high volume and emerge to discourse at length. Actually, Phonetics is an interesting album, as was last year's praisedto-the-skics Got No Breeding. But it slides from memory like water off a duck's back. That's usually the problem with critics' bands. The Coupon Merrill Shlndler Garland Jeffreys American Boy & Girl (A&M) In this concept album about urban runaways and hostile street life, Jeffreys has returned to the expert blendings of rock, reggae and Hispanic flavorings with heartfelt social observation that made 1977's Ghostwriter great. Several of the new songs are based on the experiences of kids from a 24-horffr crisis center in Times Square. Jeffreys includes several straightforward romantic songs, his warm, rich singing studded with subtle inflections.

Vine Street #201 Hollywood, CA 90028 �18 November, 1979 The Cars, Paramount Theatre, Portland, Oregon Elliot Easton, lead guitarist for the Cars and an expert at looking like Mick Jagger’s photograph on the cover of Black arid Blue, appeared briefly perplexed. The problem: the Cars were midway through the first set of a sold-out Portland show, and their sound system was obliterating one of their songs. Small wonder. When you’ve got two banks of speakers, each the size and shape of the Hollywood Squares Tic-Tac-Toe set on either Hank and you crank two or three zillion watts of energy through both simultaneously, you’re bound to invite audio overkill. Enough decibels were being pumped out of those monsters, in fact, to create an actual wind. This didn’t seem to bother their wall-to-wall stable of fans, however. The Cars comprise one fat swell of the New, Newer, Newest Wave and, considering the health of that movement in Portland, it would have been no surprise to have found the place full up with all those young people in blackand white who spend scads of time reading Rimbaud and trying to figure out what sex they want to be. But no. The audience was a middle-class crew. Demure. Adidas-ed young ladies. Guys coiffcd with $20 Son-of-Farrah shags and wearing football jerseys that said things like HAWAII 78 on the back. Pretty split level. And nobody seemed to mind that, early on, the cacophony and distortion was such thv the band came across like the world’s loudest underwater all-electric ensemble. Still, the sound was unfortunatebecause the Car’s lead singer Ric Ocasek is a genius, and his long suit is constructing music that is not only extremely powerful, but tricky and precise. They were playing at the Paramount, a beautiful art-deco Disneyland-style ex-movie theatre, a medium-sized hall that should have been acoustically perfect. Big enough to handle the Cars’ orchestral energy and small enough not to force them to go batshit powerwise to make their point. The drolland tidy Cars are aggressive, sophisticated studio musicians; their two albums have established them as the subtle, snazzy archivists of Seventies popular music. Carefully re-inventing lots of the best hooks recorded over the last decade or so, the Cars on record are at the creative service of the ghosts of those as diverse as T. Rex, Bryan Ferry, Lou Reed, Spirit, Led Zeppelin, Country Joe and His Ancient Fish, Abbey Road-period Beatles, the Seeds, and even the Association. (If you don’t believe me on that last one, just listen to the background vocals on “My Best Friend’s Girl.”) Polished, creative, yet classic. Think of these guy's as the expensive Swedish furniture of rock. In Portland, however, it’s possible they were slumming it a bit. One of the best things about the Cars is their packaging the gorgeous Vargas rendering on the cover of Candy-O, the super-slick production work, the artfully cool and obscure lyrics, and, hey, no doubt about it, the Cars are all great dressers. Probably everyone should dress just like they do on thejacket of that second album. Here, though, they were a little loose. Co-lead singer Benjamin Orr was the belle of the ball, vamping around the stage like the true tart we all know him to be, duded out in high-heeled cowboy booties, black tights and a red sleeveless leopard-skin pullover —the kind of threads J.

A secure grasp of essential New Orleans R&B made thatgroup, which once opened a Rolling Stones tour and appeared on dozens of other people’s hit records, a deeply influential unit. Art and Cyril Neville, formerly the Meters’ keyboard and percussion nucleus, again established the musical backbone for a night of variously-styled New Orleans performers. Though the stinging guitar and polyrhythmic drumming of exMeters Leo Noncentelli (now with Robert winter) and Joe “Zigaboo" Modeliste (recently with Ron Wood’s New Barbarians) were missed, the Mardi Gras Mambo was the best display of R&B music to hit Los Angeles since the last visit of Clifton Chenier and his Louisiana Hot Band. Working from an old-style R&B Revue format, the show opened with the New Orleans All-Stars, a melding of the Neville Brothers Band and some of Fats Domino’s current sidemen. “Caravan,” their first song, interwove tenor sax and trumpet lines into a voodoo rhumba. Art Neville’s swampy, behind-the-beat organ chords led tempo shifts all the way into light swing. Next, an upbeat blues vamp served to showcase the reed men. Earl King.held court for the second segment, suffering from a slight case of laryngitis. Yet his guitar playing —with honking, pushed-up block chords combined lead and rhythm into a single, arresting style. “Trick- Bag,” his trademark song, was a crowd pleaser despite the gruffled vocal delivery. Up next was Aaron Neville, so smoothvoiced he made Marvin Gaye seem like a hoarse shouter by comparison, yet so slick he almost came off like a lounge-singing weasel. Neville over-used his supply of velvety vocal quivers, but still triggered a collective swoon when the audience recognized his early Sixties signature hit, “Tell It Like It Is.” Singalongs greeted each chorus. After the third distracting stage change, the Neville Brothers Band took over and the show reached boiling point. Opening with “Fire on the Bayou,” the chunky title track from one of the Meters’ Warner Bros, albums, the band served such a persuasive gumbo that dancing lines popped up between tables. Leading their set through a red-hot version of Little Willie John’s “Fever” and a downright insane take on “Honeydipper," the Neville Brothers Band briefly made the night as festive and hypnotic as any Crescent City Music enthusiast could have wished. Framed with extravagant plumage and sequined breast-plates, looking like a humanized blend of flamingo, ostrich, jukebox and ’58 Buick, the Wild Fchopitoulas next demonstrated Mardi Gras costumery at its most flamboyant extreme. I heir performance was more show than go, although Big Chief Jolly and his tribesmen chanted with spirit, particularly on “Meet the Boys on the Battlefront.” Though not necessarily show for the current pop music audience, the Mardi Gras Mambo’s peak moments captivated a clubful of black and white listeners more pleased to revel in classic R&B than pursue the Next Big Thing. New Orleans music, a bottom-heavy blend of all that’s danceable from several musical and racial traditions, proved again that in the long run casting a spell is more effective than sinking a hook. Tom Vickers Byron Lsursen — �November, 1979 (Continued from page 17) Michael Jackson Off the Wall (Epic) Like most great popular singers, Michael Jackson has an immediately recognizable voice. That unique instrument has never been so well used as on Off the Wall, Jackson’s first solo album since leaving Motown four years ago. Along with the credit due Jackson, high praise is also due producer Quincy Jones, who found for Jackson a perfect balance of gritty funk and slick R&B. Dance numbers dominate Side One, leading with the smash “Don't Stop Till Ybu Get Enough.” Jackson wrote or co-wrote three of the side's four songs, each of them striking an adventuresome yet contemporary sound. “Rock with You,” written by Rod Temperton of Heatwave, is a perfect commercial groove, already being played as the album's second hit. Side Two, with uneven material, is less compelling. Still, it’s a joy to hear Jackson come into his own, outside the famous family grouping. This is also a giant step for Quincy' Jones, for most of all this is an album of mood, where the colorings and roadbed thoroughly, having individually toured and recorded with, Rondstadt, the Eagles and Jackson Browne to name a few, and it shows up to their advantage oh this debut album on Infinity, California rock and Southern Boogie are the twodominant forces here. The tunes usually end up with some heads down, no-nonsense jamming that indicates the live roots of this band. The songs about rock roll, girls, playing guitar, girls who won't, life on the road, dope and girls who would like to —are unlikely to expand the consciousness of the listener. But that is of lesser importance to the goodtime nature of the music, which is well played with a & — genuine spontaneity about it. Jamos Anzor Woody Shaw Woody III (Columbia) Of all the current artists signed to Columbia Records, cornetistFlugelhornist Woody Shaw is foremost in preserving the jazz tradition that was inspired by the life and music of John Coltrane. Shaw's records are fiery and provocative, yet pleasing to the ear.

Which maybe is why it’s so hard to understand what he's doing. Since splitting from Marin County's mellower-than-thou lifestyle and re-absorbing spiritual hits from his Irish homeland, Van Morrison has released three eclectic albums Period of Transition, Wavelength and now Into the Music. Where early Van Morrison was brilliance crystallized and middle Van Morrison was murky but soulful, the current stuff sort of isn’t. If these albums do share a direction, it’s toward rebirth, celebration and religion. "Moving from the dark end of the street to the bright side of the road,” as Into the Music's first lyrics put it. Maybe they encompass our entire belief system, who knows? 1 think this is a great album, and knowing has nothing to do with that realization. — Merrill Shlndler Blue Steel No More Lonely Nights (Infinity) Blue Steel play a good ol’ bar room variety of rock & roll, booze and boogie music with its feet planted firmly in the middle of a road that stretches back to the Fifties and beyond. These boys have worked the sense that makes this artist the next major voice on his instrument. Curtis Fuller, an elder statesman from the generation before Turre’s, has warm trombone phrases on Woody III, a lovely and quiet piece that also has energetic Flugelhorn from the leader. Side two comes out of the hole like a 5-second dragster with “To Kill a Brick,” a hell-bent blues that has good solos from Shaw, Gumbs, bassist Buster Williams, and alto saxophonists Rene McLean and James Spaulding, all interspersed between readings of the melody. Then the horns trade four-bar phrases so that the contrasting approaches of these artists can be further revealed. Drummer Victor Lewis, here as elsewhere, sparks the take with a vivid, prancing cymbal. A beautiful segue is “Organ Grinder," a shimmering quartet vehicle for Shaw's sassy, bright Flugelhorn and guest pianist George Cables’s spread-out voicings and nimblefingered lines. Vbu can play this one over and over, it just keeps right on singing. The closer is a ‘live’ take from New York’s Village Vanguard, with the leader, reedman Jefferson and Gumbs simply tearing up "Escape Velocity," the 32-bar modal tune based on Miles Davis’s “So What.” It’s some heady stuff.

Rea Murder: Fact ® Fiction Perhaps that eminent sleuth Sherlock Holmes said it best: “life is infinitely stranger than anything that the mind of man could in vent... the things which are really mere commonplaces of existence, make all fiction with its conventionalities and foreseen conclusions most stale and unprofitable.” The point is, when it comes to murder, verifiable atrocities are irrepressibly repulsive and intriguing when compared to the casual wanderings of the imagination. The recent release of two books devoted to this same curiosity in homicide.offers a choice example. In Best Detective Stories of the Year 1979 (E. P. Dutton, $9.95), we have an idiosyncratic selection of 16 shortstory mysteries by editor Edward Hoch, whose own story, written from the criminal’s viewpoint, is one of the more charming. Published annually for the past 33 years, the anthology picks from mystery magazines and is designed for the hardcore buffs who thirst for young, awardwinning talent in the field of fiction. On the other hand we have The Murderer’s Who's Who (Methuen, Inc., $17.95), a work of substantially more import from J.H.H. Gaute and Robin Odell. (Yes, it’s unfair to compare fiction with compendiums of fact, but such are their fates on - a valuable tool for the morbid soul and a fine addition to the literature of murder. Gaute and Odell are not trying to be comprehensive; they deal with over 650 notorious or law-changing cases in a way which presumes a socio-psychological bias. Apparently the authors are infatuated (like Mr. Holmes) with the philosophy of murder, and in the Who's Who we reap the benefits of their scholarly ardor. Best Detective Stories is neither inappropriate nor uninspiring; writers like Brian Garfield, Frank Sisk and Barbara Owens have contributed tales of cunning and worth, and Mr. Hoch’s comments relieve us ofhistorical ignorance. But the intellectual allureof murder, which is as old as the first murderer, seems more accessible and significant as a science than as a hobby. William Witt Bloomstaln Science Fiction @ The Not-So-Bizarre Regular readers of science fiction probably already know about Best Science Fiction Stories ofthe Year, edited by Gardner Dozois (Dutton, $9.95), but even the occasional dabbler in SF should definitely look into this book; it lives up to its title. The eighth, annual collection of this “Best SF” series has the cream of the crop for 1978: among the eleven stories are John Vhrley’s “The Persistence of Vision,” Christopher Priest’s “Whores,” Joan D. Vinge’s “View from a Height” and Gene Wolfe’s prophetic short novel “Seven American Nights,” along with lesser, though still rewarding, efforts by Isaac Asimov, Thomas M. Disch, Gregory Benford and several others. The Vhrley story alone is an instant classic, winning a Nebula award and appearing already in 1979 Annual World’s Best SF from DAW Books, as well as headlining a collection of Virley’s stories. Editor Dozios not only selects the best SF stories for us, he also gives a detailed overview of the field in an excellent introduction, giving current information about the top writers, editors and magazines. There are also brief biographical introductions to each of the stories, as is common in SF anthologies, and a list of 90 honorable mentions stories that might have been the best if Varley and company had bombed. Since many SF readers are also fans of the bizarre, they should beware Harold E. Priestley’s Truly Bizarre (Sterling, $8.95), a rambling collection of "believe-it-or-not" trivia that is rarely bizarre and usually not even interesting. Truly Bizarre is a lead balloon put your money into the SF collection and you’re way ahead. — — N«al Wllgus this occasion.) While the Who’s Who is not the first of its kind (Colin Wilson’s Encyclopedia of Murder, still the definitive reference tool, and Jay Nalsh’s Bloodletters and Hodmen come to mind), the work entails a new dimension in recording the history of murder: a cross reference system by which a listing of sources is offered for each case.

The debate on student and general illiteracy was already strong in the Fifties, and this ancient text with its brief prescriptions could possibly come to the rescue. Alas, it didn't work out that way. It was naive, and still is, to think that this book, or any other, could do much to improve writing in an increasingly non-writing, non-reading culture. Moreover, it isn’t really a very good book. It’s a hodgepodge of“rules of usage" (e.g., “Form the possessive singular of nouns by adding ’s”...“The number of the subject determines the number of the verb”) and “principles of composition” (“Use the active voice”..."Avoid a succession of loose sentences”). This is all good advice but no better than that given by thousands of textbooks. Another flaw is a certain affectation, an archness, an occasional metaphorical turn that is meant to be crisp but calls attention to itself in a.way the book warns against doing: “There are occasions when obscurity serves a literary yearning, if not a literary purpose, and there are writers whose mien is more overcast than clear.” Or, in a passage criticizing such business words as update andfinalize; “Its portentous nouns and verbs invest ordinary events with high adventure; the executive walks among ink erasers, caparisoned like a knight. We should tolerate him every man of spirit wants to ride a white horse.

White’s p against newer words and sh ing. Nauseous should not be used tiled; it means “sickening to contemplate.” Most people would disagree. Transpire means to “become known," not to "happen” or “come to pass.” “Many writers so use it...” he says, “but their usage finds little support in the Latin ‘breathe across or throughl” This is proof? Then there’s cope. White says it’s an “intransitive verb used with with." But that ignores the new use of the term: “How’s he doing after the divorce?” “Oh, he’s coping.” To be sure, this comes close to the dread psychobabble, but it still expresses something unique and valuable as do many of the new jargon words', however irritating or overused, such as closure, space, validation. Finally, there’s the matter of'hopefully. White: “To say, ‘Hopefully I’ll leave on the noon plane' is to talk nonsense. Do you mean you’ll leave on the noon plane in a hopeful frame of mind? Or do you mean you hope you’ll leave on the noon plane?” Sorry, but I think White is willfully uncomprehending. We know perfectly well that this means he hopes he’ll leave on the noon plane. For all its lightness and wit, The Elements of Style, in whatever edition, is often sour and wrongheaded.

Saturday Night — Exploiting the Exploitive Casting Calls Of all the components you buy for your hi/fi system, the only ones that absolutely require reliance on the manufacturer’s performance and capability promises are the speakers. A listening test in a dealer’s demo room may give you a feeling of accomplishment, may act as a psychological crutch, but as a valid test its value is zilch. What you think you hear from a pair of speakers depends not only on the speakers, but also where they are'positioned, your age and your sex. Even more important are the acoustic properties of your listening room. If you want to know what sort of sound your ft system is delivering, a pair of top quality headphones will give you an approximate idea, but even such a test has its limitations since the headpohones plus your ear cavity form a sort of resonating chamber, a room in miniature. Your hi/fi listening room always interfaces with your speakers, forming an indissoluble partnership. What you actually hear is what is left over after your room gets through with the sound. As far as h sound is concerned, you are the last person in the hi/fi chain of events, low man on the sonic totem pole. Several things take place in your listening room, and for openers we can consider sound as existing in two categories. The first is dry sound, the sound that comes directly from your speakers. Dry sound or direct sound is what a musician hears from agree Co distribute ... but Universal is suddenly shy. The movie is now called Guyana, Mystery of the Century and although the original dialogue was in English, the entire movie has been redubbed.

This sudden attack of cold feet may prove that there are limits to Hollywood’s tastelessness. Bantam Books is re-releasing its paperback version of the original Cruising novel by Gerald Walker.

A FILM titled Chappnquiddick, using Ted Kennedy’s name, will allegedly be made by one Glenn Stensel, who claims it’s all perfectly OK, since, after all, Kennedy is a public figure and fair game.

FarRah Fawcett fired her longtime manager and PR hotshot Jay Bernstein, who said in a trade interview after the axe tljat his work building Farrah into a worldwide star attraction was’“the most important thing I’ve done in my life.” his instrument. This sound travels out into space, strikes walls, the floor, ceiling, chairs, rugs, furniture and people. Some of the sound bounces off, scattering in all directions. This reflected or reverberant sound is a sound source, just like your speakers. All the objects in your listening room reflect a certain amount of sound, but also absorb some of it, converting it to heat, while letting some of the sound pass through. An open window, excluding the frame and glass, does no sound absorbing, permitting sound to travel on through, unrestricted. Close the window and that pane of glass becomes a sound reflector. Offhand, it would seem that reflected sound, thereverberant sound, is the villain of the piece, yet consider that sound indoors is always more satisfying than the same sound heard at an outdoor concert. What our ears and our brains like to hear is a combination of direct and reverberant sound. Reverberant sound adds a certain richness and body to music it does not otherwise have. The amount and quality of reverberant sound depends on the size of your listening room, its shape and the sound absorption properties of everything in that room. You can have too much reverberation or not enough but there is no such thing as a proper amount and there are no rigid rules to which you must adhere. The kind of sound, the combination of direct and reverberant sound your speakers and your listening room produce and which you may enjoy is a subjective experience. If the reverberation isn’t quite right for you personally, then your speakers will not sound right no matter what. The same speakers in a different listening environment may sound like the best you ever heard. Ideally, when listening to a composition you should get a mental image of the space in which it was performed. A symphony should give the impression of being played in a large hall; an organ in a cathedral and chamber music in an intimate room. There is no way in which your listening room, unaided, will do all these things for you. Reverberant sound can produce problems. Two sounds can augment or negate each other. Where they assist those frequencies sound louder; where they oppose they can become inaudible. These actions occur at yarious places in the room, so what you hear is determined by your speakers, their positioning, by the acoustics and by where you sit. The same is true when you attend a concert; what you hear depends on where you sit. If, at a live performance speech sounds muffled or some of the instrumental music sounds muddy, change your seat. Ditto at home. You can modify reverberant sound to some extent. You can make your room more lively, more reverberant, by removing materials which are notorious sound absorbers. You can put your speakers on stands, either homemade or of the storebought variety. This stops the reverberation of floorboards, which muddies up bass response, and gives treble tones better direction. The result: cleaner sound at both ends of the spectrum. An empty room with hard walls, closed windows, no curtains and with no one present but yourself will give maximum reverberant sound. This decreases as you add furniture, carpeting, people and open all the windows. Alternatively, you can add a time delay device to your fi system to add artificial reverb. If you do, use additional speakers at the sides and rear to supply reverberant sound only.

" 12 A - „ failed. Seemingly in his thirties, he and his wife entered the small waiting room of the University Heights Community Center on Main Street with their four-year old daughter. Greeted by the receptionist with the standard question, “Are you here for Food Stamps?” the wife answered, in a hushed whisper, “Yes.” Her pale face and fidgety movements betrayed her embarrassment. Sam was more at ease. “No, I’m not ashamed to be here asking for help,” he told The Spectrum. “I’ve worked all my life and pay my taxes. I simply can’t meet my budget right now. 1 just got my heating bill for last month. It was $104 and I bring home $92 a week. There are other bills too. And my family has to eat, right?” Realizing his sudden surge of emotion, he looked at his low cut construction shoes and white socks and added, “Food stamps are a good 1 nchtim thing.” A creation of the Federal Government, the Food Stamp program enables needy persons to purchase a variety of food products. But there are restrictions. Items prohibited under the program’s rules for using food stamps are pet foods, paper products, tobacco and alcohol. According to literature circulated by the Erie County Department of Social Services, the program is designed for those who work for low wages, are unemployed, work part time, receive welfare or other types of assistance. The elderly, who often live on fixed incomes and the poor are the program’s target groups. 6 Needy Students enjoy it at the Bullpen featuring: hamburgers deli sandwiches monday -friday 11-2 , Sam, making the minimum wage as a maintenance worker, tried and io 7 Preneta m norton spine Students are among the groups who seek entrance into the program. “About 50 percent of the people I interview for food stamps, here at the University Heights center, are students,” observed one social worker. “Usually these students are paying for their education themselves,” he added. An accounting major explained his reasons for needing food stamps: “I was hungry, for one thing, and was running out of the money I earned this summer. I figure I can get stamps since I’m independent from my folks,” he said. A former UB student admitted that, “I’m not making enough with my job. And I need some help. It’s tougher than I thought.” Eligibility requirements for the program are specific and vary upon the size of a household and its income. An individual must earn less than $7000 per year and have less than $1750 in the bank in order to qualify. Commissioner of Erie County Department of Social Services Frederick Buscaglia is pleased with the program in Eric County, but insists that money is a problem. “We get more and more people on the program each day. Combine this with a limited budget and I’d say that the program is getting to the point of being overloaded.” At the same time, the Commissioner attested to the fact that many people who deserve to receive food stamp benefits are not getting them. An operator on the New York State Food Stamp information hotline told The Spectrum, “1 get a lot ofcalls from the New York City area. The callers are old, poor and too afraid to leave their apartments because they might bet mugged or something. This job is real depressing.” According to Buscaglia, “There will be a major advertising campaign in the near future to get more needy people involved.” Eligibility interviews for the Food Stamp program are available by appointment at the University Heights Community Center.

Ketter had responded. According to Chairman-Elect of the Faculty Senate Norman Solkoff, 20 or so others were expected to turjj in surveys before the 5 p.m. Monday deadline. The survey—which, if used, will violate new presidential evaluation guidelines precluding “non-attributable” information such as surveys—is scheduled to document faculty sentiment surrounding Ketter’s leadership as President. Solkoff explained that only one-third of the faculty responded for four reasons, noting, “The survey was long. Many probably felt it was not important. Many believe that (this type of)non-attributable information may not have an effect and it (the survey) suffered from the usual problems of a mail questionnaire.” The 33 percent response rate, Solkoff claimed, is not unusual. Representative group But the survey is not the only gauge of faculty opinion that will be presented to the outside evaluation team. After meeting with over 150 faculty members. But according to Carver, Corbally also told him Faculty Senate Chairman Newton Carver has whittled that the faculty are only one of the constituent this group down to about 15 professors—a gfoup groups on campus.

But three days is an awfully evaluation team John Corbally, that these faculty short time.” The Senate Chairman explained that he has no way speak to the team when it visits the UB campus of knowing if the designated 15 faculty members constitute enough of a sampling for the committee to ‘I’m trying to make the evaluation credible obtain an adequate view from the faculty’s perspective'or for faculty to believe the evaluation There are a lot cynical people around will be credible. Said Carver, “I’m trying to make the I’m doing my best to recognize all evaluation credible. There are a lot of cynical people the problems around. I’m doing my best to recognize all the Newton Garver problems.” Although Carver has completed his identification process, he would not disclose who he has chosen.

No one listens to WRUB’s campus radio station struggles by Robert Linguanti Spectrum Staff Writer If a radio station plays a record, and no one is there to listen, does the station make a sound? Student-run WRUB (640 AM), in an effprt to tune in more listeners, is making a racket. The station, which broadcasts to the Main Street dormitories and Squire Hall’s Rathskeller, is fighting to break from its owner—the Inter Residence Council (IRC). Formerly known as WIRC, the station altered its call letters this summer to WRUB, Radio for the University of Buffalo? But the name change is just one link in a complicated chain of events, leaving the station unsure of its future and IRC clamoring to protect what it believes is property of the dorm government. Control “We want to be more than the radio station of IRC,” related station News Director Ben Rossett. “We want to be the radio station to the University.” However, IRC President Tom Knight asserted, “We still own WRUB, but we’ll maintain a laissez-faire arrangement with them.” The dormitory government’s “hands-off” policy irks the station directors, who point out that this policy reflects IRC’s reluctance to financially support WRUB this year. About eight years ago, IRC purchased broadcasting facilities from the now public Buffalo radio station WBFO, and set up -ai Karman , WIRR in Main Street’s Clement Hall. In 1977, WIRR moved next door to Goodyear Hall and the call letters became WIRC. IRC Treasurer Eugene Dubicki estimated that since its inception, the station has received between $8,000 and $10,000 from the dorm government., Knight explained that his organization is not willing to relinquish control of the station unless it receives some compensation. “It’s worth a substantial amount to IRC,” he said. “If they would pay for the rooms and equipment, then we would let them go.” _ Dismal audience The station’s general manager Harry Cohen claims that IRC’s support has been “minimal,” totally $4000 since 1977 and impeding WRUB’s growth. He pointed to other SUNY center radio stations at Albany, Binghamton and Stonybrook—noting they all broadcast in FM stereo 24 hours per day and have budgets exceeding $20,000. Although the station has had a dismal listening audience in the past —regardless of the call letters —Cohen believes that many more people will listen if WRUB goes FM. “But we can’t get adequate funding,” he lamented. In fact, IRC has not given the station one this year, because, according to Knight, IRC’s budget is still being completed and no Financial decisions could be made. “The most we can give WRUB is $3000—if that,” Knight remarked. So Cohen, Rossett and WRUB officials have turned toward Sub Board, the student service corporation, for help. In July, WRUB requested $5100 from Sub Board, but the request was rejected. Said Sub Board Treasurer Chris Jasen, “We didn’t have the money, we were in no position to take them on.” Last month, Cohen asked Sub Board for $5445 —and although Sub Board has not made a decision, Jasen revealed that funding is “not likely.” He explained Sub Board’s reluctance, saying, “They (WRUB) haven’t been very there doesn’t appear to be a aggressive crying need for it.” cent . WRUB General Manager Harry Cohen Claims IRC's support has been ‘minh . . . Lock out But Jasen did not rule out the possibility that Sub Board could purchase the station’s ownership rights from IRC. “There is nothing to prevent us from considering it,” he said, “but if our funding from the. six student governments continues at its present rate, purchase is not likely.” Even a “nominal” association with IRC in the past has harmed WRUB’s credibility, Cohen alleged. “Everyone in the dorms had negative feelings about IRC,” he commented, “so there was a negative response to the station’s (old WIRC) name.” As the political feud continues, Cohen claims that !RC has taken steps to exert its authority which he believes are “childish.” He told The Spectrum that IRC placed a work order with Maintenance to change the locks on WRUB’s offices without telling anyone from the station. “We were exercising our like Carter did with Cuba,”, explained Dubicki. “There were too many people with keys to those rooms.” IRC President Knight maintains that the WRUB Directors were scheduled to be notified before the lock change. Station Music Director Marty Boratin contends that he had to call Knight and “talk it over with him” before keys were eventually provided. Knight,' however, noted that IRC has control over those dorm offices, adding, “If we wanted to kick them out, we could do that, but we wouldn’t.” �* I California state university I L system to charge tuition (CPS)—California college students may soon have to pay tuition for the first time in the state’s history. A committee assigned to find ways to offset the effects of Proposition 13, the 1978 voter initiative that drastically cut California property taxes, has recommended that the state university system begin making its students pay tuition for the first time. The California Post-secondary Education Committee released a report last week that predicted the nine-campus University of California system would have to impose a SIOO annual tuition because of Proposition, 13 cutbacks and projected enrollment declines. California students currently pay approximately $240 per quarter in registration, education and students fees, but there is no tuition charge. However, officials of the" California system claim tuition is not imminent. Rich Taylor, director of the UC-Davis academic affairs offices, says the university isn’t likely to institute tuition for a long time. He says the state legislature, which supplies about a third of the UC budget, “has warned if the university charges tuition, it will cut back its support.” Impact Adds UC President David S. Saxon, “Clearly the university has the legal authority to impose (tuition), but legal authority is not particularly useful understanding with the governor and the unless UC is able to work out an legislature.” The university has regularly raised the registration, education and student fee levels when in financial pinches in the past. On the heels of the committee report, UC-Davis Vice Chancellor Elmer Learn announced that fees on his campus would have to be raised about $50 per year if current programming were to be maintained Taylor notes that “the possibility of tuition would become much more real” if voters approve more tax reform measures like Proposition 13. Proposition 13 has already had a broad impact on university affairs. This year, for the second straight year, Governor Edmund G. Brown, Jr., has asked university officials to list programs in order of importance. He has made it clear the state might refuse to fund low-priority programs. Determining program priority, however, presents difficult problems. “The Department of Transportation can have low-priority programs,” Taylor explains, “but the philosophy of the university, especially UC, does not permit the concept of a low-priority program. “A program should either be excellent and of university quality, or non existent.” Ted Kennedy to come UB women engineering majors to Buffalo for weekend to be part of nationwide society Senator Edward Kennedy will endorse Erie County Democratic candidate for County Executive Frank McGuire this weekend in Buffalo. McGuire, who is stepping up his campaign, trails incombent Edward Rutkowski as Election Day approaches. Both camps agree Rutkowski is the frontrunner, but disagree as to the extent of his lead. Kennedy will probably announce his support for McGuire at 9 a.m. Saturday in the Buffalo Convention Center. Since plans have not been finalized, more details will follow in The Spectrum’s Friday issue. - French speaker The Director of the Press and Information Services the French Embassy to the U.S. Andre Baeyens will give a special address at Daemen College, 4380 Main Street on November 1 at 8 p.m. The topic of discussion will be “Europe, France, U.S.A.” and recent developments in the European Parliament in Strasbourg. at «*££■ V firt UB’s Society of Women Engineers, which started out last January with only four members, will be officially as a member of the national organization as of November 12. The society—now at 56 members—was organized here by PhD candidate Joanne Higgins to provide academic information in any engineering discipline for majors. The society’s multidisciplinary nature is the basic difference between it and other engineering societies. According to one of the group’s organizers, Sally Danna, “the society has two main goals— to serve the technical needs of engineering majors and to serve the special needs of women engineers.” It will try to meet these goals by having speakers from various businesses talk about technical subjects in the different fields of engineering, by guiding its members and informing them on what it takes to be a woman engineer. Society President Pauline Labedz said the society also helps confused students decide their majors by having juniors and seniors explain the engineering curriculum. “Women have a different outlook on engineering education than men,” Danna said, “because if you are a woman engineering student, you.could very well be the only girl in your class and you don’t always feel like one of the guys.” Labedz also stressed the society’s value. “Since there are so few girls in engineering classes (103 in total), the society could provide a point for girls to gather around for social as well as academic purposes,” she noted., The National society has accepted UB’s Society of Women Engineers charter and on November 12, women from the national headquarters will come to UB to publicly recognize UB’s organization as part of the national network. According to Labedz, the society is open to both sexes, although no men have joined yet. Scheduled events which the society thinks will help prepare engineers for the business world include: a “dress for success night,” which will discuss the most influential ways to dress for interviews and jobs and a panel discussion that will consist of engineers from each discipline leading discussions on important topics and answering questions. Labedz also said that she was inquiring about a possible industrial plant tour. The society is funded through the UB Foundation and does not charge a local membership fee. Membership in the National society is required though, at a charge of $7.50 per year. UB students, however, can participate in two events free of charge to see if the society suits them. The S.W.E. also raises money by sponsoring speakers and charging a fifty-cent admission fee. The society now operates out of Furnas Hall but according to Labedz has been promised a future office in 324 Bell Hall. Interested students can join the society at any busines meeting or by calling 825-2962. ® STUDENTS 5454 Main Street Williamsville, N.Y.

But, he added, “I’m sure if I lived in New York City, I would feel there’s a need.” A new, State funded law school will open on the campus of New York City’s Queens’s College for the 1981-1982 academic year, college president Saul D. Cohen has announced. The law school, which will become the second publicly supported such institution in New York State—joining UB—will require S500.000 in “start-up” money, according to Queens College Director of Public Relations Bill McDonald. The money, which will be requested from Governor Hugh Carey’s executive budget, is “not a large amount,” McDonald said, and should be readily appropriated. New York State agreed last year to begin a four year phase in plan to assume funding of the City University of New York (CUNY) —of which Queens College is a member —to aid the fiscally troubled institution. The State will begin funding CUNY in January, according to McDonald, supplying 25 percent of its budget in the first year of the funding plan. Calm days The original resolution to create the law school was passed by the New York State Board of Higher Education in 1973 but wets set aside when near fiscal disaster—which almost forced New York City into bankruptcy—hit the city and the city funded CUNY system. But now that “the storm is pretty much being weathered,” McDonald said, the proposal has been revived. College president Cohen stated in a memo, “The time for establishment of a publicly supported law Silly school in America’s largest city is long overdue, particularly when that law school will emphasize public service and public administrative procedure . Law is an integral component of a great University System; the absence of a law . . McDonald said once the law school opens, he very quickly expects it to become cost effective, that is, to take in most if not all of the money it needs to operate. Wallin, however, said he is “certain" that UB’s $2200 tuition does not cover the cost of operation and the notion that Queens’ tuition could cover the cost of its new law school is “absolutely silly.” SUNY Deputy to the Chancellor for Legislative Relations Herbert Gordon recently estimated that between $75 million and $90 million in State money would go to CUNY this year, and an additional $90 million in State Bundy Aid would go to New York Slate’s private colleges, pitting SUNY in a three-way battle for New York’s higher education dollar. Said Gordon, “That added funding has to impact us in some way as we think about the total cost of higher education.” But none of Queens’ cost will go to construction. Three story high Parsons Boulevard Annex will accommodate the program, McDonald said. The law school, which will handle 450 students when fully underway, will emphasize public service law, he said, noting that it is an appropriate focus for a college that claims strong programs in political science, sociology, urban studies and economics. The U.S. Department of Labor predicted a need for 18.9 percent more attorneys in the 1980’s, McDonald added. school at City University has long been felt.” The school, which will officially be named the City University Law School at Queens College, becomes the 14th law school in New York State. Assistant to the Dean of UB’s law school Charles Wallin thinks that 13, Less than half of SA Senators present at meeting on Ketter by Joe Simon Campus Editor than half its representatives in attendance Monday, the Student Association (SA) Senate initiated a massive drive to sufficiently inform students about Robert L. Ketter’s nine year performance as University President. In hopes of getting students to cast a knowledgable vote in next week’s University-wide referendum (judging) Ketter, SA Senators will be going door-to-door in dormitories to individually discuss a fact sheet detailing Ketter’s term. Although intended to provide information, the fact sheet will resemble one that SA President Joel Mayersohn presented the Senate at its last meeting. That document criticized Ketter on 11 out of 12 With less issues The referendum initially planned for today—Was postponed until November 6 and 7 last week. Mayersohn explained that the delay is because “the University community has not had enough time to make a decision” on Ketter’s performance. As only 21 of 45 Senators showed up in a practically bare and cold Haas Lounge, the Senate devoted all of its hour-long meeting to discussing Ketter. Mayersohn, along with several senators, agreed — Vi* INFORMED VOTE; Tho Student Association Ssnats met for the second time this semester, again focusing on President Kattar’s evaluation. Loss than half the 45 senators showed for the meeting In a cold Haas Lounge. The Senate appointed a committee to prepare a report on Ketter’s term and decided to go dorm-to-dorm to it was the Senate’s responsibility to guide students through Ketter’s evaluation process. “If we act lax and casual (about Ketter) then the student body will act lax and casual,” one Senator remarked. ‘Dim View’ In addition to going door-todoor, the Senate also formed an SA committee which will issue a report on Ketter’s term, and called for distribution of surveys designed to judge Ketter to each senator. Both the committee report and the survey will be completed by next week’s according to Mayersohn, to give students added information when voting. Student Representative to the College Council Michael Pierce referendum, informed the Senate that he had spoken to John Corbally, Chairman of the three-person team which Will evaluate Ketter, and was told he takes ‘‘a dim view of a minority President,” meaning one who does not have the majority support of the University community. In Ketter’s remarks to students last Friday, he said a noconfidence stance among students, faculty, and professional employees would not necessarally force him to resign. Pierce also mentioned that Corbally requested from the UB Administration the past three issues of all campus publications, as well as records of debates and arguments of all University bodies including'the SA Senate, Faculty Senate, i and Professional Staff Senate. Agrees, doesn’t pursue Concerning Ketter’s appearance before students in Haas Lounge, Senators were critical of the President’s side-stepping of questions. “He’s a good talker,” SA Director of Student Activities Barry Calder said. “If you ask him a question you’ll never know if he answered it or not.” Pierce explained that Ketter is notorious for not answering questions, calling it the “Mae West Syndrome.” He said Ketter avoids the question at the time it’s being asked, and tak$s a “come up and see me some time” attitude. SA Senator Don Berrey—who moderated Ketter’s question and answer session—explained that Ketter “agrees to a lot of things but doesn’t pursue them.” He cited the President’s response to a question dealing with the formation of a University Senate. Berrey said Ketter supported the Senate, but discuss ths issues with students.

Costume stores — where the ghouls and celebrities gather by Jon-Michael Glionna Feature Editor To the casual observer, the party featured an unusual blend of celebrities. Jimmy Carter stood by the punch bowl rapping with a transvestite. Nearby, Marilyn Monroe bopped with,a conehead. Strange. This party was in Buffalo and Marilyn Monroe has been dead for 15 years. It’s Halloween and anything is possible. Hallowerti night is the culmination of a quest for an assumed identity and the chance to act out wild fantasies which for many have been weeks in the making. Sources of inspiration Markets, Salvation Army vary, bins and dusty attics are immediate prime targets for practical minded image seekers. But impulsive dreamers —who have the bucks —look to the all inclusive costume store. Buffalo has several of these costume supermarkets which do a frighteningly brisk business this time of year to offset the other 11 months when the bulk of business is relegated to high school functions. Last weekend, I decided to check out one of these shops and explore what realms of originality and absurdity people choose to express in their costume selection. less than a football Field sized factory outlet of bizarre clothing. Racks of hanging costumes which ranged from-gorilla suits to army uniforms to space suits spanned as far as I could see. Within minutes, two lines began to form before the make-shift service counter —one for buyers and another for costume renters. Perched on the wall, busts of Frankenstein, Smokey the Bear and Teddy Kennedy blankly surveyed the crowd. Although customers are rarely allowed to browse amoung the racks uhsupervisedi after a briefing from Disbrow we were permitted to wander around and ask a few ‘Magical Mystery Tour’ Costumes Unlimited owner Joan Disbrow warned me over the phone on Friday to show up early as she expects a waiting line when her Elmwood Avenue business opened its doors Saturday morning. So, equipped with pen', pad and photographer, I was one of the first curious customers through the Unlimited’s doors, ready to embark on what 1 expected to be quite a magical mystery tour. Costumes Unlimited is nothing questions.

The referendum, included in last week's IRC elections, passed 310 to 246 in favor of the gameroom. According to IRC President Tom Knight, funding for the gameroom has yet to be decided and is dependent on a membership drive which the Council is planning for the next month. The Figure is expected by Knight to be somewhere in the neighborhood of S2000. Along with the referendum, IRC also held the Area council elections. In Ellicott, elected in close races were: President, Robert Mannio (who beat his opponent, Gary Silberquit by only 5 votes); Vice President, Tim Shoemaker; Secretary, Barry Shein and Treasurer, Bill Coffey. Elected in Governors in unopposed contests were: President, Bill Koliarakis; Vice President Joe Woulfc; Treasurer Bob Capizzi and Secretary, on a write-in ballot, Elaine Thcin. On Main Street only one race was contested; Vice President, Pam Spicer beat Ken Piazza 72 to 54. In other unopposed races, newly elected IRC officials are Howard Epstein, President; Mary Sullivan, Secretary and Lisa lamielo. Treasurer. ■j Epstein, Editor-in-Chief of Thundercurrent and now newly elected IRC area council President, did not believe a potential conflict of interest could develop in holding both posts. “Even though I see the possibility of a conflict, 1 doubt if the situation would ever arise since the IRC is mainly a social organization,” Epstein commented. Jeff Gault, IRC Vice President who was in charge of running the election, said, “Since Thundercurrent is generally pro-IRC, 1 don’t see there being a problem.” attempts to strike racial balance in City schools by John Lapiana Staff Writer Spectrum Described by the Courier-Express as a “blockbuster,” Buffalo school officials have unveiled a desegregation plan aimed to improve racial balance in city schools. The plan is formed from recommendations made by Buffalo School Superintendent Eugene T. Reville and a group of his top aides. Reville’s proposals will be officially made public at a Board of Education meeting November 7. Considered the “master plan” for permanent desegregation for Buffalo’s 50 thousand pupil school system, the proposed plan was written under the leadership of Associate Superintendent of Instructional Services Joseph T. Murray. The plan recommends that certain additional schools throughout the city be closed. This would bring a total of 29 schools that have been shut down since 1970. The proposal is designed to replace the school system’s unique Quality in Education (QIE) program, which Federal Judge John T. Curtin has called incomplete. The QIE program, Curtain has charged, places most of the integration burden on the minority students. The crux of the QIE plan was the incorporation of “magnet” schools, which the board had hoped would bring minority students into predominately white neighborhoods—and avoiding forced busing. Curtin claimed too many schools were still predominately minority populated when he demanded that a new integration plan be written up for Buffalo. Racial balance Rather than scrap its innovative “magnet” school system, the plan proposes that seven more of these specialized schools be added to the Buffalo school roster. The plan calls for institutions majoring in culture, human relations and foreign languages; science and mathematics; communications; classical literature and Romance languages; basic academic and self discipline skills; and enrichment for gifted and talented students. Although the foundations for these schools have been laid, their locations have not been specified. The school board has until November 15 to modify Reville’s proposals and submit a detailed, permanent plan to Curtin for his approval. As quoted in the Courier-Express, the plan also urges Curtin to order the City of Buffalo to provide funds “to make the Buffalo Desegregation Plan work—and work now.” Declining enrollments in elementary schools, coupled with racial imbalance, have prompted the Reville team to recommend the closing of nine elementary schools—half of which are in predominately white areas—next year. The designers of the plan hope that the school closings and transfer of Colleges buried under forms, government says students from the defunct schools will result in improved racial balance. But a junior and senior high school—West Hertel Middle School and Southside High School —would be transformed into elementary schools. effort to relieve colleges of the burden. “Without a doubt,” observes Warren Buhler, who ran a federal committee on paperwork that ended us work in 1977, “education is hit harder by paperwork than any other segment of society.” Even with President Carter’s announced intent to cut down federal paperawork, the U.S. Office of Education’s 32 notices about forms in 1977 has risen to 368 this year. The lead agency in the "first stage”, in which the government will try to cut down on health and safety forms, is something called FEDAC (Federal Education Data Acquisition Center). FEDAC Executive Director Frank Corrigan says,“I think people will sec results in 1980.” The most important step toward reducing the number of forms colleges must complete annually is thought to have been a 1978 act of Congress that limited the activities of outside consultants. The Dept, of Health, Education and Welfare (HEW) is infamous for hiring outside consultants, who many claim are most responsible for the proliferation of federal information requests. Congress limited HEW to spending $194 million on outside consultants last year, and there is a bill this year that would cut the amount to $160 million. Yet limiting the amount spent on outside consultants will not, according to some, solve the problem by itself. Some more moderate solutions do exist. House Education Committee Chief Counsel Jack Jennings, for example, would change many of the current exhaustive survey questioning (one recent survey wanted to know how many feet of shelving were in every school library in the nation) of each school and college to a system of samplings, based on scientific survey techniques used by pollsters. “A lot of forms just don’t do what they’re supposed to,” grouses Steve Hychka of the College and University Business Officers Association. To do so, FEDAC is reviewing all forms for redundant questions, and plans to place answers on computers so that future survey-takers won’t need to bother college officials so often. Concerned parents The Southside High School would be phased out over a three-year period. The 200 freshmen presently enrolled would be moved to South Park High School next September. The school’s sophomore and junior classes would finish their schooling there, sharing the facilities with elementary school children. School officials hope to supplement their plan with a new program for young children—which would move many white children into six schools now attended predominately by blacks. The six schools are tentatively known as the Early ChildhoodDevelopment Centers and would absorb pre-kindergarten through second grade students from 15 schools. Here the children would receive daily instruction in reading, mathematics and language. If the Board’s comprehensive proposal is accepted by Judge Curtin —who has been at odds with the Board for the last three years—the Quality in Education programs could be totally phased out by 1984. Over 2,400 students are enrolled in the QIE program, in which black students are bused into white neighborhood schools. QIE students in kindergarten through fourth grades would return to their own neighborhood schools next September. Older students would have the choice of remaining in their present elementary schools until graduation or returning to their own area schools. Rcvillc’s new plan was hammered out after extensive conferences between the school board and more than 2,500 concerned parents, teachers and other interested parties, who now wait for the judge’s approval.

The next problem with apathy is that once understood, no one cares to do anything about It. One ot the problems with UB Is that too many people are apathetic. People who work and study here function like robots, going through the motions, never stopping to think about how they could Improve this University. Less than one-third of the faculty here bothered to fill out the Faculty Senate's survey evaluating President Ketter. Many of the 1100 who didn't respond are probably the same folk who whine about program cutbacks, depleted resources, and dwindling student enrollments. Less than one-half of the 45 student senators attended Monday's meeting. Many of the 24 no-shows are probably the same student politicians who moan about an ineffective Senate, students’ limited role in departmental governance, and the day-to-day uncaring attitude of faculty. Students are Inattentive and uncaring because many are here to get out of here. They just want to get a job and make lots of money or they don’t believe In their own power to change things. Many don't care about the educational process or the future of this institution. Faculty disinvolve themselves because they are here to pursue certain knowledge, research technical areas, and teach. Many don’t care about the politics of Capen Hall unless it directly affects them; and even then, they frequently work within the constraints rather than trying to set new parameters. So now this University has an opportunity to do something—it can voice Its support (or lack of) for the University’s President. (Given the assumption that the President does have an effect around here.) But the majority just bury their heads, pretending to Ignore the impact of the environment, hoping their problems will go away with the wave of a magic wand. Well, there is no wand and if everyone waits for one, then those disenchanted students will never become enchanted and those lazy faculty members will only live In the past, remembering dreams of what this school could havve been. And tor those who do care and did take a lousy hour to fill out the Faculty survey, It was just an exercise in futility—for without majority support, nothing can be significantly altered Ironically, this will probably be read only by those who care. And for those who don’t, why listen to The Spectrum ? Being rubbed out? In 1976 a party ran for office on a ballot that promised to cut the fee for IRC membership in half (It was previously always $20.00), of course they won. Their promise was fulfilled when they actually did bring the fee down to ten dollars. They also quickly realized that the organization would run Into flnanacial difficulties, which it did, and has ever since. Due to increasing administrative expenses, Food Service Prices, ($17.50 for a quart of liquor, etc.), movie prices, and Inflationary costs, IRC cannot be run efficiently at a $10.00-$15.00 fee. Since 1976, IRC has run Into a financial deficit every year, and therefore its performance has been less than perfect. Because of these reasons, and others, the membership fee for next year will be $20.00 and $15.00 for returning IRC feepayers only. This new fee will be going into effect on November 20,1979. This Increasa wil halp stabilize the IRC budget for the next fiscal year, while still giving you, the student, a chance to Join this year. This year's membership drive will end on November 20, so join now and don’t miss out on all the great events scheduled for the year. Eugene Dubicki IRC Treasurer Correct errors To the Editor: We are writing this letter In reference to your news coverage of Women’s Studies College (WSC) on October 10,1979. There are a few errors we would like to correct. To begin with, the faculty teaching in California and doing research in Women's studies on a Rockefeller grant is Ellen Dubois not, Sharon Dubois. Secondly, it is not a fact that anyone can teach a Women’s Studies course provided they’ve taken an intro course plus a theory course. All instructors must pass through a thorough procedure before they are certified. This procedure Is designed to also seek out women who are qualified by their life experiences which relate to the topics they will teach, the use of community women and undergraduates in no way compromises the acdenr.ic quality of our program and In fact Is a major contribution to SUNYAB WSC national recognition. Thirdly, the reporter seemed to have only one question in mind when writing the article, that being, What is the difference between the Women Studies Program in American Studies and the Women’s Studies College? At present there is no B.A. degree granting program in Women’s studies. One can lake many courses at WSC towards an American Studies degree but there is no Women's Studies Program separate from Women’s Studies college at the undergraduate level. The question in itself creates a false distinction; there is no difference. In closing we'd like to express our appreciation of the continuing support and coverage from The Spectrum We hope this information has served to correct errors made in the Oct. 10, 1979 article on WSC. Kitty Brown Andrea Hirshman Linda Sudano Zoe Zacharek Fanatical journalism When It comes down to the law, the Inter-Residence Council (IRC) owns the equipment of the student-run WRUB radio station. But when It comes down to real support, IRC has tuned-out the needs of the dormitory-based radio station. We can easily understand the station's desire to break from IRC and attach its carrier current to another student organization, namely Sub Board. Over the last few years, IRC has proved to be one of the most Ineffective student organizations on campus. Although It is supposedly a dorm government, it in no way represents the views of dorm residents. Last year, when perhaps the most pertinent issue to the dorms arose—the University’s plan to deprive RAs of their roommate-free status—the RAs rejected IRC’s help. They knew better. So IRC has primarily become a social organization, supplying movies to he campus community and offering a variety of events to its feepayers. tut legitimate criticisms have noted that the majority of IRC residents live in Ellicott, the officers of IRC invariably live in Ellicott, the majority of activities are In Ellicott, and as a result, the Main Street feepayers have been slighted. That is why the individual dorms on Main Street have established dorm activity funds. They politely claim the funds are supposed to supplement IRC, but in reality they basically replace the limited activities that IRC supplies. Although IRC President Tom Knight asknowledged many of his organization's faults, he said that under his leadership, thefee things would change. IRC has not yet completed Its budget for this year according to Knight, and In the meantime a Main Street-based radio station cries for a To the Editor: This letter is to protest the graphic in last Friday's The Spectrum depicting two University Policemen just having gunned down a student. Debating the issue of whether or not they should be armed Is one thing, but to blatantly assume that if they are armed, U.P. will instantly become trigger-happy vigilantes is utterly absurd. Each job has its few apathetic, less-than-professional employees, and campus Police is no exception. However, such biased, fanatical journalism only serves to perpetuate the animosity which most of them are trying to obviate. Diane LaValiee Why champagne? To the Editor: I had to pause when I read that leading off events for Abortion Rights Week was a champagne reception at the Erie Medical Center abortion facility. My thoughts went back to my first taste of what-is-so-special-about-it champagne and my reaction. Of course, it has since become special. I can probably still count the number of times I’ve tasted it on both hands. I think of weddings, and a christening, and a class reunion. But a champagne reception at an abortion faciltiy! Would they ever serve it to a woman after an abortion? Robert Wise longterm financial commitment. We do remember the times when WRUB radio said on the air that it would give a tree album to the fifth phone caller, and a listener had to find four friends to telephone in. Its listening audience has been far from spectacular. But if anything is going to change, WRUB must disassociate itself from IRC. Sub Board should seriously reconsider funding what could be a very useful and prosperous student radio station. The longer Sub Board hesitates and the longer IRC Keeps its purse strings taut, the sooner WRUB will be altogether rubbed out.

The onset of a decade carries a double onus—there are the usual yearly resolutions to fret over as well as resolutions for the impending decade. The Seventies has scared the shit out of most people, so mush so that saving one's ass has become a full-time profession. In a university, this translates into careerism and more importantly, into a social tunnel vision. Precisely, most of us don’t have a strong self-image of what we are doing, or what we will be doing for the good of society at large. A recent study appearing in Psychology Today compared work attitudes now to those of 10 years ago. On a scale of three intangibles—money, personal satisfaction, and family—the only difference in their relative positions is that, presently, personal satisfaction has usurped concerns for the family as a desirable consideration in selecting work. Vocation, the nature of how we support ourselves, seems to be shaping up to be an issue that will characterize the upcoming decade. At a time when managers would rather use people to do boring repetitive work than tie up capital in machinery, the desire for work that is important and creative to the individual, in short visceral to his self image, is sought more than ever before. Probably because there is so little of it to go around. Some people make their own jobs of import. Some open businesses, others take on social causes. The first come from the Horatio Alger tradition, the other is harder to pin down. I’ll give you an example. Thirtyish and bearded, a graduate student recently dropped his studies, in part, so that he could commit himself more entirely to the anti-nuclear movement. Others call him an anarchist, the label probably coming from him—anarchist simply isn’t a title in American perception of politics. Republica, Democrat, socialist, even marxist. But anarchist? Nope. Suppose nuclear energy is bad news. Suppose the small core of reformers wth convictions are able to shut down the industy. When that last dragon has been slayed, or given a reprieve simply because for one reason or another the movement collapses on itself, my bearded friend will be a social reformer veteran. And there is a lot more in common between those reformer veterans and Vietnam veterans: they are both snapping out of a situation that has been their life for the last few years. If, when history books are written, nuclear energy is given the seal of approval through the passage of time, all of us will have benetitted. All of us who decided that it was more important to become engineers, accountants, nurses and writers will have benefitted. And my bearded friend will be a veteran in a social war. Like those before him, civil rights workers for example, no one faulted them for what they did but when they look for a job, seven years of organizing in the South and three years spent on the road in Europe usually didn’t come off as a plus, especially compared to the more mundane, but more conventionally accepted credentials their peers have piled up over the years. Social reform, issues oriented social reform can be an obsolescence fated vocation. I would never dream of telling people they should be intimately involved in orienting society as a whole. Social activism isn’t tor everyone, neither should it be. And this is regardless of your feelings on a particular issue. But if and when we retire, that world probably will largely be a product of the doings of these reformers—when we may not like it, but we thought we couldn't do anything about, or that the price of doing it would be too great. And the rest of us, like my anarchist friend, may wonder if it was worth it. We will have pursued a compromise between personal satisfaction and careerism (i.e., money) and wonder it we made the right choices. But we should make choices, not float into them. 61 more shopping days until the Eighties. Think about �■ i Don’t keep the geese To the Editor: I am writing In regards to the letter “Support your local Geese" in The Spectrum 10/24/79 issue. I thinkthe prople who wrote this letter, and those that support the geese at Ellicott should seriously reconsider their plans because they are being irresponsible and selfish. They say the University has "officially adopted” the geese. Who has, and from where did they come from? One report states they wandered from the other side of Millersport Highway over the summer and have remained at Lake LaSalle ever since. I was living In Ellicott most of the summer and spent a great deal of time on the other side of Millersport Highway shooting a film about nature, never once did I see a goose. I am an avid animal lover, but what I'm getting at is this. Geese don’t drop from heaven. Although I'm no authority on geese, my suspicion is that they’re domestic geese. The white kind you find in children’s zoos. This semester, my room in Ellicott offers one of the most panoramic view of Lake LdSalle available, and I spend a great deal of time watching the geese. Never once have I seen them fly. Even in the face of immediate danger, like some idiot chasing them, they merely run and flap their wings. Their wings must be clipped, because don’t wild geese fly? Now, to the question of raising money to build them a winter shelter. I have a greaUove for nature and animals and have been a member of Rachel Carson College and the Buffalo Animal Rights Committee, but I think it is cruel to keep these geese here. If they are domestic, a home should be fount} for them on a nearby farm in Getzvllle or Willlamsville. If they are wild, the money raised should be used to transport and release them elsewhere so they can resume their lives as natural animals. A college dormatory of 3200 people is no place for such helpless creatures! Many a night I can remember hearing the geese squacklng for their lives as drunken assholes chase them while yelling ‘FUCK GEESE! Kill them, kill them!” And, in case anybody forgot, there used to be 4 geese. When Hurricane Frederick flooded Marshall Court into Marshall Lake, approximately 100 college waterbabies frolicked wildly In the mess. The geese were also present and were the subject of purposely inflicted torment and torture. One goose’s eye was poked out. Now there are 3 geese left. Conclude yourself. I also heard a rumor, several custodial workers trapped them and actually planned to eat them, until Public Safety intervened. And, of all places to build them a shelter—The Wilkeson Courtyard? Fine, let them live a little closer to the pub where drunks don’t give a shit about human lives, and pull false fire alarms. They’ll probably end up setting the geese on fire to justify their actions. I'm sorry, but I totally disagree with all of these plans to keep the geese as Ellicott pets. Keeping these fine creatures around Ellicott is insuring that these geese are cooked. ; Ben Rossett Remove the geese To the Editor: Today, Tuesday, October 23, at about 6:15 p.(n., I returned home to Wilkeson after class, and found as I passed Rm 170 MFACC that one of the Ellicott geese (the largest of the three, variously known as Emerson or Frank) had wandered indoors and was honking away very frightened in a corner. Watching him was a student who had no idea awhat to do about It. Being a city kid, I also wasn’t too sure how closely one can safely approach a goose, nor how a goose can be convinced to move toward a door; however, the student watching him backed away and he waddled determinedly towards one of Ellicott’s many back corners, this one, to him, a dead end. Now, there is a door at the end of that little corridor, but I wasn’t in any mood to find out what mood Emerson was in, so I called Security. Hey, it’s their job, I don’t suppose any of you call this irresponsible or dangerous behavior on my part; a bit frightened, but not threatening to our feathered friends. About this time, word seems to have reached some other part of Wilkeson that the geese were in trouble, as a rather upset little band of mad avengers came running to rescue the geese. Seeing to their safety, they made it very clear to me that they’d do mean things to anybody who hurt their little charges. They made it very clear. They made it clear, and surrounded me, and made it clear again. Who are these people? Why do three fluffy little fellows attract goon squad? Why does beautiful wildlife attract a street gang? And why do I have to stand for threats when I consider that I’ve done quite the proper thing? Until this campus can handle the presence of a few geese without seeing the need for violence or the threat thereof, I see no reason that they should not be taken to the Buffalo Zoo or some other place where they can be protected, and where their friends can feel safe in their presence. It is good to know that the hearts of these creeps can be melted by three geese. It is good to know that they can love and feel for wildlife.Vt is not too thrilling to think that they have not the slightest care for human life, and only encouraging to think that the reason I didn’t meet the wrong end of a switchblade was because this crew was intelligent enough to understand the concept of witnesses. I don’t know who these people are, and they didn't make me feel like checking ID cards, so If they don't intend to stop threatening innocent prople about the geese, I suppose I must demand the removal of the geese. Let them apply to the Zoo’s security force: it’ll keep them out of trouble and off the streets. In fear of lynch mobs, Lew dayman Deep resent To the Editor: Let me begin by saying that I respect and admire Newton Garver as a scholar and as a well-intentioned administrator. Nevertheless, Jtis letter 6f October 24th has a stifling air of complacency and condescension about it. In his view, the students are to sit back while the authorities in their serene wisdom go about deciding whether this University is to continue for an indefinite period bearing the same stamp that It has had for the past nine years. Instead of appreciating the dedication of those students who are concerned with improving their university, Mr. Garver tells them just to stay out of the way and all will be well: students (like patients in hospitals) should be seen and not heard. Just leave everything to him and to the three presidents. But presidents, as well as their advisors, also have their limitations. If what our students are attempting to do is an "adolescent tantrum," Mr. Garver should be informed that hundreds of his colleagues, some of them quite as venerable as himself, are engaged in a similar tantrum, and deeply resent the fact that he has embraced on their behalf a procedure in which they have so little confidence. Irving Massey Professor of English and Comparative Literature SCATE identity crisis The following is an open letter to all faculty members: SCATE, the new systematic evaluation of teacher effectiveness, has nearly suffered from an identity crisis. Unprepared for the negative feed-back SCATE received from the UB community, producers of SCATE began to explore the situation. Examining the program in its full perspective, SCATE has taken on a new light. Now, more than ever before, the SCATE committee is aware of SCATE’s importance at this university. The need for instructional development has become the primary concern for us. From the onset, SCATE has gained little cooperation from faculty members. Besides the many instructors who made no attempt jo give SCATE a chance, those who did, are showing no enthusiasm for the program at all. The SCATE committee has put tremendous energy into a project which, we feel, is highly functional; the reactions of faculty members have been rather unsettling. In evaluating the circumstances, we find a reluctance on the professor's part to participate in a new program understandable. We realize that it will take time to build the confidence of those people not aware of SCATE’s purpose. We must be patient and hope to earn the cooperation and respect of faculty members as we progress and prove our strength. The voluntary basis of an instructor’s participation in SCATE has approach to the evaluation touches on one of the fundamental concepts of the entire program. SCATE can only help those who are willing to help themselves. Because our primary concern is to aid Instructors in improving their teaching methods, forcing them to participate in the program would be of little value. Along the same lines, many professors have challenged the validity of the program. Faculty members have complained that the program is unfair to those teachers who are willing to participate. They claim that it is more important for poor teachers to be evaluated. Faculty members must be aware that SCATE is not designed to overcome poor teaching, but rather, to help develop new teaching methods for good and bad instructors alike. Also, it has become the policy that SCATE will not be used for tenure or promotional procedures, our intentions for the use of SCATE are wholly positive. These evaluations are being offered as a service to those professors interested in developing their teaching responsibilities. The problem of students evaluating teachers must be confronted openly and frankly. We urge all faculty members to share with us any advise or criticism they may have to offer.

The rationale behind Lauren Shapiro Eulogy for French student To the Editor: On Sunday, October 21st, Linda Diane Rock died at age 22 in an automobile accident as she was returning to Buffalo from her parents' home in Brockport. Linda, who received her B.A. in French here at U.B., was a T.A. and had just completed her M.A. in French in August, culminating in a major paper on the origins of science fiction in French Literature. She was a refleciive, responsible, and determined student, needing little guidance as she undertook the challenges of graduate coursework. We were happy to watch her grow intellectually and emotionally over the course of the summer, through her work, her teaching, and her close contact with a widening circle of friends. Her interests, revealed in small but illuminating doses, included poetry, cats, quilts, physics, and most of all, French literature. Linda is survived by her parents, Professor and Mrs. Rock of Brockport, by 2 sisters (one of whom is currently a student at U.B.), and a brother. The family has informed us of their intent to establish a scholarship fund in Linda’s name to defray the cost of French study abroad or on campus, feeling that others should share in an experience their daughter loved so much. Linda's quiet presence will remain with those of us who knew her well; following the words of Aragon: "Dans nos bras nous te tenons absente". The Department ot Modern Languages and Literatures �o Solar energy courses beam information all over country » Q. , — A / / by Helen Cordes Special to The Spectrum ( GOLDEN, CO. (CPD)—Glenn Backley reached his decision while strolling down a Los Angeles street. There Backley noticed a Solar Age magazine on display and leafed through its cover article on solar heaters for pools. It was that moment, he recalls, when he decided to pursue a solar energy education. curly-haired The lanky, Californian had ping-ponged from junior college to auto mechanic jobs, and admittedly “didn’t really know what I wanted to do.” Now in his first year of a solar program at Community College of Denver, Backley’s entirely satisfied with his choice. “I’ll never be out of work,” he boasts. “In California, they’re starving for solar installers. I’m getting in on the ground floor and there’s no way the market won’t grow. Besides,” Backley notes with a grin, “I’m impatient. One more year of school and I’ll be done with it.” Like Backley, more and more students are beginning to see the advantages of solar energy training. In contrast to many other graduates, the solar energy grad will a market that has been growing by quantum leaps. Since 1973, the amount of business done by companies that manufacture and market solar devices has doubled yearly. In 1978, that tallied to $150 million, and a $1 billion business is predicted for 1982. Nearly 2.8 million jobs are predicted for 2000. One federal study charted that, even if the industry maintained only its present growth, some 400,000 jobs would be open in the next 20 years in solar heating and water systems alone. Numbers like those have been downright inspirational to both educators looking for ways to market college programs and students looking for degree programs that can lead them to enter a job after graduation. “Solar systems installers and maintained—that’s where the jobs arc,” advises Peter Colaianni of the Solar Energy Industry Association, a trade association for solar companies. “People from technical schools are being gobbled up.” Bob and Craig Hilton, a fatherson duo that heads one of the country’s largest technicallyoriented solar programs, agree. “Right now, there’rc five job areas in the solar field: solar device installation, maintenance, sales, solar energy education and a technical slot for engineers and writers. Of our grads, though, about 75 percent are going into installation,” said the older Hilton of his 31 class curriculum at Community College of Denver. jobs. Now almost 700 post-secondary institutions have sprouted at least one solar energy course, according to a survey of 2100 schools by the National Solar Energy Institute (SERI) here. There are also an increasing variety of solar degree programs. SERI found 125 solar education curricula, and 148 full degree programs. Thick volume SERI’s National Solar Energy Education Directory, a thick volume that lists a total of 1307 solar courses offered around the land, is both comprehensive and an illustration of the inconsistencies of today’s solar education. “Right now, the numbers of courses are impressive, but we’re not so sure about the quality,” cedes SERI’s George Corcoleotes. “We’ve since heard about several programs that are not as impressive as they sound on paper.” And because the field is so new, it’s not always easy for the student to investigate the quality before enrolling. Corcoleotes remembers, “We had a guy in here recently who was traveling around the country looking at solar programs. By the time he got here, he was down to his last $500, and he had his wife and kids along. We recommended a local college, but he wanted to check out a school on the coast first.” Corcoleotes suggests students might get additional information more easily by calling SERl’s regional centers, or the National Solar Heating and Cooling Information Center in Pennsylvania. The anticipated boom market in solar energy has not only increased the number of courses, but warped the courses’ emphasis. Earlier in the decade, most solar energy classes dwelled on general analysis of how solar energy worked, and discussed theoretical applications. More recently, seemingly hundreds of more practical courses are padding solar curricula with lessons for installation, engineering, and research. Most experts think a technical emphasis is the easiest to parlay into Accurate gauges The Hiltons readily add that other aspects of solar energy education are rapidly becoming more important. “We have 250 majors in our one or two-year Installation and Maintenance Program. But an additional 180] are taking solar classes for all kinds of reasons. “We have business majors who want to get into the business, or into solar device sales. We’ve got real estate people and insurance investigators who need to know how solar works and the value of solar systems. People in education come here —one of our grads is now teaching solar in a community college in Arizona.” Industry sources also feel that the composition of solar job areas will change as the industry grows. “We’re not large enough to require a lot of engineers or architects, or that many management people,” Colaianni reports. He counsels that students get basic engineering, architecture or business degrees, along with a grounding in solar energy. Students should then “be flexible and see how the market develops.” Job projections are as uncertain as the nation’s energy future. SERI estimates that, by 2000, a quarter of the jobs in the field will be managerial and professional. Another 13 percent of the jobs will be largely technical, with another five percent reserved for scientists and engineers. The remaining 57 percent of the jobs will probably be reserved for non-degreed skills. Yet Colaianni warns, “These kinds of figures will depend on what kind of incentives solar gets, especially in tax legislation.” Educators, in turn, will be looking to industry for accurate guages of demand 'before dramatically increasing the scope of solar education. “A lot of schools still consider solar energy a fad,” complains Craig Hilton, who has encountered administrative reluctance to expand the CC program, even though it is turning applicants away. “But if solar goes the way we think it will, they’re not going to have a choice.” 'NOV.

Watching their business and dreams going up in smoke by Rebecca J. Smith Spectrum Staff Writer leaving a-pile of ashes, . Two and one-half years ago, Dave Lalomia got a good price on a small acre of land near Buffalo’s Bennett High School on Main Street. He jumped at the opportunity to expand his struggling trucking business. The late October wind now whips through the trees and bushes surrounding Lalomia’s isolated property. Glancing over at the pile of black soot that was once a working garage, partner Rick Dyjak observed, “We usually look forward to winter—the trucks need repair and we’d work in the building—but we don’t have a building anymore.” Stuffing his chafed hands deeper into his pockets, Lalomia watched * some of the loose ashes blow away in the wind. “My luck ran out,” he said simply. .Since the beginning of January 1979, Lalomia’s small business has been burglarized and vandalized 20 times. In addition his warehousegarage was ignited two weeks ago, Wayward youth Both Lalomia and DyjuK believe all the damage—except one major burglary—was done by school kids. “What it really boils down to is our (it’s) definitely the seclusion reason,” Lalomia insisted. Despite its isolation, Lalomia’s business is well known to most juveniles in the area. There is a baseball diamond nearby and his fenced-in property is used as a short cut going to and- from school. “We tried to keep on the good side of the kids so they wouldn’t wreck anything, but it didn’t work,” Dyjak commented. However, a Buffalo police officer observed, “(They) are assuming it’s vandalism by wayward youth. There are a lot of reasons for it You can’t rule out any possibilities. You can’t close your eyes to anything.” Lalomia has no reason to assume that the senseless vandalism, as he calls it, is caused by anyone other than “kids.” As he told Ray Hill of the Buffalo Evening News, “I’ve .... . i SNOW TIRE SALE 4 Ply Poly I ' j V/ never done anybody any .” harm What causes the kids—if in fact they are kids—to victimize Lalomia or others like him?

UB was hampered by penalty after penalty throughout the game, but managed to tie up the score in the third period after being down 3-0. With 1:40 left to play in overtime, the referee called a delay-of-gamc penalty against Buffalo defenseman Pete Dombfowski, a controversial call. “An official never calls anything questionable in overtime. It’s totally assinine,’’ fumed outraged Bulls’ coach Ed Wright. Buffalo goalie Bill Kaminska told his version of what happened. “It was a bad call by the referee for two reasons: one, when he fell on the puck, the puck squirted loose from .under his body. I pounced on the puck when 1 saw it come loose. Apparently, the referee did not see this, so he called the t2 o O - ' \ —Ralph STOP THE PRESSES: ‘The Spectrum's’ offensive line tries to ward oft The Other ONe's' collective defensive surge. OB Marti "the Arm” Meltzer, under pressure from ‘The Other One's' Pat Allen Young, tossed the ball, hoping to grab the lead with a latebreaking score. Also shown Is 'The Spectrum's' Dennis “Clark" Floss, running to the sidelines to grab his camera. The smothers foe in bone bruising gridiron duel A slight drizzle began to dampen the torn turf of Acheson field as The Spectrum and The Other One football teams prepared for a period of sudden-death overtime, ■ v But as darkness sunk in. The Spectrum’s reserve quarterback Pete “the copy man” Howard lofted a short ‘out’ pass to Jeff “Have mem” Koch who proceeded to gather in the ball and dash towards the end-zone, capping a brisk fall afternoon which saw the two teams battle tooth-and-nail until The Spectrum finally emerged victorious, 14-7. From the opening kick-off, the affair was a struggle between the defenses, both of which repeatedly sacked quarterbacks and gathered interceptions at will. -Dennis “Clark” Floss and Bob “bash ’em” Basil each picked off one pass, while “the Copy Man” and the “coach,” who refused to state his name, grabbed 'SM two apiece. The Spectrum starting quarterback Mark “the arm” Meltzer had his problems throwing the ball, but, had a series of passes not been dropped, the “Arm” might have bee/i in for a better day. Robbie “stoned hands” Cohen, John “how could he have been open” Reiss and “Clark” each were unable to handle throws that appeared catchable. The “Arm” also found “Clark” open for what looked like a sure score, but the official from Thundercurrent, who for the sake of journalistic integrity will remain anonymous, ruled “Clark” had stepped out of bounds. Replays later indicated “Clark” was about six miles from the sideline. Pete, the “copy man,” after replacing the “Arm” quickly found “Chief” Parker over the middle for 10 yards and repeated the pass to his favorite receiver three plays later for the contest’s first score. “Chief,” the 5-7, 135-pound Editor of The Spectrum made a beautiful spinning grab which immediately brought The Spectrum bench on to the field for a brief celebration. Some question arose to whether Parker was in bounds (replays later indicated he wasn’t close), but in order to make up for blowing (he last one, the referee safely called this score good. Not to be outdone, the Other One quickly came back to knot the score as the final minutes of regulation ticked away. They banged home seven with a secret play, despite the efforts of safety John “how could he have been open” Reiss. The play was simple, according to the Other One. The stationed a receiver on the sidelines who made an appearance on the field after the play started so nobody would cover him. Although the play was illegal, the score counted and the game went into overtime. “I’m pleased with the way we played today,” said The Spectrum “coach.” Our line played well, especially Martha “nice sweat pants” Kazmarszzczzzzak. An individual that really stood out was Joel “Spirits” Dinerstein who The Spectrum picked up after the Worlds’ team folded. He was our first draft pick. “But the key was me.” “But I must add,” the “coach” said, “that we would not have done without Kathy (of course), Rebecca, Val, Joe, Dan, Marc, Jim, Dean, Jim Manning, Joe Zingale, Garry, Ralph, Anna, Talia, Chris, Lisa, John Lapiana and Mary’s refreshing post— game party. —the “coach” penalty.” Shortly after Dombrowski entered the box, the Clippers’ Dan Getz scored the winner. The point man fired a slapshbt at Kaminska, who had come out to cut down the angle. The puck sailed wide and bounced off the backboards —right to Getz, who was standing to the left of the'net. Getz put in the rebound. Buffalo was plagued with penalties throughout the entire game. A total of 18 minor penalties, one five-minute penalty and three 10-minute penalties were called against UB. “41 minutes of penalties to kill—it’s ridiculous,” rebelled co-captain Tom Wilde. “To break up the lines like that—it’s just no good. We had a lot of shots, a lot of chances. We could have won it In overtime, too. After every shift, every whistle, there was a five-minute break to hand out penalties. We just aren’t disciplined—we get in a skirmish every time.” UB had worked hard to just to send the contest into an extra period. With 7:08 left in the third period, Wilde tied up the score at 4-4. Wilde beat a Clippers’ defenseman down the left wing and went in alone on a breakaway, blasting the puck into tl\e far side of the net. Revived Bulls The goal seemingly brought UB back to life. The Bulls relentlessly attacked Kent’s goalie Dave Binnie, but he was up to the task and the game was sent into overtime. Falling behind by a score of 3-0 within the first 13 minutes of the contest, the Bulls finally lit up the scoreboard when Clayton Watters, UB’s only Canadian-born player, put the puck in the net at 17:18. “1 picked the puck up close to the goal line. There were two defensemen in front of the net,” Watters explained, “so I just looked for a possible shot oq net. There wasn’t much to shoot at, but I saw an open corner and that’s where the puck went in.” The “gold” line Narduzzo, Gabe Rigler and Keith‘Sawyer) accounted for UB’s second goal. The line had a good breakout, something they had been working on in practice. The Clippers’ defense gave the puck up to Narduzzo, who passed it to Rigler going down the middle. Rigler dumped it in the corner for Keith Sawyer, and Sawyer then slid it back to Rigler in the slot. That narrowed the Clippers’ lead to only one goal and inspired the Bulls to check harder, skate faster and generally take control. But a controversial goal gave Kent State a 4-2 lead. While on a powerplay, Buffalo took a barrage of shots at Binnie. After a faceoff, KSU turned the tide and sped off on a breakaway. The goal judge and the referee closest to the play motioned “no goal.” But the referee behind the play, who claimed he had a better vantage point, ruled it a goal. Wilde was optimistic about the next game against Colgate (the only Division 1 team the Bulls play this season), and the rest of the season. “Especially after the whistle—those are the worst penalties to take,” he said. “We’ve just got to put it behind us and work for Colgate. That’s our big game. They’ll be fast and good.” <- -( COMING SOON Lucian C.Parlato Attorney at -Law to U.B.

The schedule for this year’s Can-Am tournament had each team play four games on Friday night and another 14 games starting at 9 a.m. next the morning—running all day till the playoffs began at 6 p.m. “I think it stinks. My weekend is ruined,” .one volleyballer complained. ‘‘I can’t go out tonight because I’ve got to get up early for the game tomorrow.” By Saturday night, the day long weeding-out process had yielded four teams for the semifinals. Those successfully running the first round gauntlet were Edinboro, McMaster, Scarborough and Toronto, respectively. UB’s Royals finished next in fifth place. The Royals’ coach Peter Weinrich assessed his team’s performance later by saying, “On the whole, I’d say we played well today. But we shouldn’t have lost to Toronto. 1 thought we’d beat them.” The early 9 a.m. starting time of the UB-Toronto contest may have been a factor in the Blues’ 15-1, 15-8 sweep. Overall the home team did not perform as well as might have been expected, winning only eight games out of 16. Although eliminated early, exhausted and I’m afraid someone’s going to get hurt.” No one gave McMaster much of a chance in the final against the seemingly invincible Titans. “I’m surprised they got this far,” one of the refs admitted. In the finale—after the teams had split the first two matches—the crowd continued to riotously 0M. McMaster points and Titan mistakes, totally ignoring Scarborough’s good plays. As if reacting to the vocal crowd support, McMaster got out to an early 3-0 lead. But the fatigue resulting from their earlier matches caused the Marauders to falter the rest of the way.

However, few onlookers watched because on the adjacent court a hooting, hollering, hotly contested donnybrook between McMaster and Edinboro was going on. About forty people watched the two squads put forth all the energy they could muster from their aching and tired bodies.

Saturday the soccer Bulls traveled to Elmire College, 15 miles away from Watkins Glen. They didn’t win either. Lack of hustle was the main reason behind the 4-0 shutout. UB fullback Ed Sorkin described the loss, saying, “We never got going. We were beat to the ball bad, and we gave them the midfield.” The Bulls came out looking strong, with a shot on the home net within the first 30 seconds of play. Not getting that goal seemed to prey on Buffalo’s mind, and the Soaring Eagles controlled the next 3P minutes. The Bulls could not get the ball in scoring position during that one-half hour. “We just didn’t do the right things to penetrate that type of offense,” Buffalo forward Ray Eckert . ' explained. Elmira scored once in the first half. The Eagles’ Bye Wadda, on a breakaway, drove the ball past diving UB goaltender Mark Celester. Buffalo revived with 15 minutes left in the half, and play centered around Elmira’s goal. But Elmira’s strong defense and their owp wide shots kept the Bulls off the scoreboard. UP, UP..

At one point, a referee even threatened to throw the UB trainer off the field for too many comments. The second half saw UB once again unable to mount any serious threat. Dwight Tausz of the Buffalo “Zip Strip” defense was hurt earlier in the half, so Tony Markut, brought up from the junior varsity squad, subsituted and played an outstanding half in the fullback position.

Ketter told UB students Friday that he would still consider retaining his presidency, even if students, faculty and professional staff voiced significant non-support. The President said a vote of essentially “np confidence” would have some influence, ‘‘but would have to be discussed with the Chancellor and SUNY He stressed, however, that overwhelming dissatisfaction by those three groups would by no means draw an immediate resignation from him. Casually clad in a sweater and trousers, Ketter addressed about 256 students in Haas Lounge for a question and answer session organized by the Student Association (SA). His appearance was spurred in part by SA’s desire to allow students to question Ketter prior to an upcoming referendum designed to evaluate him. The referendum will be held November 6—7, representative to the University Council Michael Pierce announced prior to Ketter’s opening remarks. Ketter’s last major address to the body—in student April 1978—packed the lounge and drew sharp response from a fiery crowd. The polite, but bitter audience helped convince the SA Senate then that a vote of “no confidence” was in order. But Friday’s group was marked by calmness—except for a staged exodus by members of the g< h. coi th cntioi remain in his post. While he said it would “affect” him, he maintained that “a number of other factors” would be considered. “It [leading a school without firm constituent support] is frequently done,” Ketter claimed, referring to a Chicago university president’s tenure. When former Editor-in-Chief' of The Spectrum Jay Rosen questioned Ketter’s intentions, the President responded, “At times a person takes some negative lumps so something good happens for other and administrators to SA’s 1978 vote of “no confidence,’’ saying students feel remote from what is going on.’’ Another possible explanation for students’ lack of support, Ketter said, could be the that “it’s just not what it was when they got FACE TO FACE: President Robert L.

' people.” Ketter tackled the source of students’ vitriolic most criticisms—his administration’s “neglect” of the student constituency—by shifting responsibility for UB to, outside sources, such as the State, or voicing support of increasing student involvement. Responding to one charge that actions by theKetter administration are unrelated to student concerns, the president noted that academic matters go before his cabinet and input is encouraged. He did, however, relate the poor communications between students > Students view Ketter to form own opinions Some had come prepared, armed with questions and deep-rooted views. Other were just passing by, wondering who tl>e man in the blue and white ski sweater was. But the majority of people in Haas Lounge Friday had come to make up their own minds, to decide for themselves if Robert Ketter should continue as University President “A lot of people around here are against him and I just wanted to make up my own mind,” one sophomore remarked. It appeared that those students genuinely interested in Ketter’s comments seemed to be seated towards the front and sides of the room, while those standing at the back admitted stopping by out of curiosity. “I saw a lot of people here and 1 thought it was a revolution,” one senior Accounting student explained. Others had just come upstairs from the Rathskellar and wanted to sec why so many students had congregated. Most claimed to have come with an open mind, disregarding all they had read and heard about Ketter, and attempting to form their own conclusions. But some had come with their minds already made up. “I think he’s had a miserable performance,” one senior noted. “People make him out be be malicious, but he’s not. he’s just incompetent.” One bearded student sarcastically remarked, ’’I just wanted to sec if he truly exists. I’ve never actually seen him before.” Some started Filtering out of the Lounge shortly after Ketter began speaking. “1 realized my homework was more important,” one freshman noted. After close to one half-hour of listening to the President, a sophomore Biology student headed for the exit. “I was curious what students had to say to him, but 1 soon got pretty bored.” \ Another going for his doctorate in Pharmacology, characterized Ketter “as a typical administrator,” but qualified that by calling \ Ketter’s position “a political type of job.” Inside: Education breaks away—P. 9 / Another kind of editor—P. 10 Photos by Garry Prenata and Dennis R.

Parker Editor-in-Chief 7 Arguing that a glosscd-ovcr review is being substituted for a piercing assessment, over 200 faculty members have signed a petition protesting the revised evaluation procedures which are being used to judge UB President Robert L. Kcttcr. The petition will be presented to SUNY Chancellor Clifton Wharton, according to Mathematics Professor Nicholas Kazannoff. Kazarinoff is part of the 23 faculty member committee which drafted the petition. The 23 faculty are located in departments ranging from Engineering and English to Psychology and Computer Science. are distressed that the central administration “We the undersigned would substitute for a full-scale assessment of our local administration such a nominal procedure with built-in constraints on communication, which can predictably discover nothing that isn’t immediately obvious or superficial,” the petition states. Last June, the SUNY Board of Trustees altered presidential evaluation procedures, eliminating the campus-based constituency committee that would have evaluated a school’s president. In its place, a team of three presidents or comparable peers from outside the SUNY system will judge a local president, conducting a campus visit for up to three days. The team coming to UB, which is slated to arrive Sunday November 11, will be chaired by former Illinois President John Corbally. But many faculty have voiced their opposition to this hew committee, pointing out that local input could now be limited. “I don’t see appropriate input,” said History Professor Laurence Schneider, “unless the team of three violated the guidelines, taking faculty and student opinion through surveys and personal contact.’” The new guidelines stipulate that “non-attributable” information including campus polls and surveys are not acceptable mechanisms to gauge campus sentiment. Although the Faculty Senate is conducting a detailed survey and the Student Association is holding a campus referendum, Electrical Engineering professor Peter Scott remarked, “I think changing horses [the and totally unfair." Scott procedures] in midstream was a poor idea explained that the SUNY Trustees are “a highly politicized group, and I doubt whether the. new guidelines were simply based on what mechanism was the fairest, most effective and meaningful." Implications realized Kazarinoff noted that the faculty who signed the petition are unsure if it will have an effect on SUNY Chancellor Clifton R. Wharton. The Chancellor was the person who selected the outside evaluation team. Said Schneider, "The petition in conjunction with other forms of faculty interest might have an effect on the Chancellor’s office to reconsider the pTocedurcs.” But the Trustees arc not likely to alter the new procedures, cautioned Scott. “But for the future,” he said„ "we want to put the Trustees on notice that a [campus] community will not tolerate arbitrary action." Although the guidelines were approved by the Trustees in June, and the ad hoc group of faculty is just now petitioning. Schneider noted that many faculty were not aware of the alterations until just recently. He said, “1 think the reality of the procedures didn’t ‘come home’ until this semester as the implications became clear as the guidelines began to be implemented.” Members of the faculty will be soliciting signatures Monday between 11:30 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. in the Capen Lounge and Tuesday, noon hour in the Faculty Club. ... Ketter... —continued from page 1— for this unwillingness compromise,” he explained. Ketter added that he believed, because of the unwillingness of both parties, the "time is not right” for a University Senate. One of the most acute crises facing this University has been the threat or actual loss of distinguished faculty members. Although Ketter said he is not expecting resignations should he retain the presidency, he explained that leading professors are often sought by other universities. But his confidence was not so strong with regard to retaining administrators. '"I can’t honestly answer [whether some would leave],” he said, adding, "This institution had a long and proud tradition of providing presidents for other institutions. If people from here were sought after, it would not surprise me.” Important sounding board Kctter’s answers reverted from general to specific when he was questioned about the purpose of the UB College Council—a group of prominent community members authorized to nominate the President, approve' student regulations and set rules for the use of facilities. Asked if he believed the members are knowledgeable enough of the University to exercise power vested in them, Ketter admitted the group serves as a lobbying body with the legislature. "They are political, patronage appointments,” he said. “We [the University] are not asked for advice.” . Addressing the Council’s usefulness to the University—as opposed to its usefulness to himself—the President maintained that it is legally not authorized to be more than a sounding board. Council Chairman Robert Millonzi, however, is responsible for sending an evaluation of Ketter—expected to carry significant influence—to SUNY Chancellor Clifton Wharton. Prior to the open discussion, student representative to the Council Pierce denounced the. SUNY guidelines for presidential review and noted the necessity of Ketter’s meeting with students. Students are subject to authority, he saidrbut should have some voice in their Own governance. uality Eye Care for Less \ I ' . .

Looking like a teenager in plaid shirt and overalls with a round, youthful face fringed by bangs, than a woman in her early thirties—she stood in front of the stained glass mural of Jesus in purples and golds rising behind her and told a story. She spoke of being unmarried, pregnant, and twenty-one 10 years ago when “no one could know.” She Spoke of leaving school and having an illegal abortion in a single room while both her sister and the doctor’s wife stood outside guarding against police. She spoke of the desire to convert to Catholicism afterwards and being told that as penance she would have to work in the anti-abortion ranks. She spoke of “having to pay high dues” for the choice she and many other women made. She spoke of the hope that no one would have to pay more. in a speakout. held Saturday in the massive grey stone Lutheran Church of the Redeemer on a quiet corner of West Ferry, she and three other women ended the week long schedule of events sponsored by Buffalo CARASA (the Coalition for Abortion Rights and Against Sterilization Abuse) recalling the traumas of abortions for the sake of “relating to abortions not as fact but as personal experiencee.” —Rebate* Bernstein FIRM STANCE: A speakout to keep abortion legal capped the National Abortion Action Rights weak Saturday.

The proposals were ordered off the November 6 ballot by' State Supreme Court Judge James L; Kane on Tuesday. Kane’s injunction is currently ineffective until the four men who brought the suit against the Commission post a $3000 bond, as required by State law. The plaintiffs have claimed, however, that they cannot afford the bond or the potentially unlimited financial liability which they must cover. Also, the appeal itself imposes an automatic ‘stay’ on the court order. The four amendments would eliminate the Common Council presidency, limit elected city officials to two four-year terms, eliminate five councilman-at-large positions, and roll back the city’s recently increased utility tax. The Appellate Court, sitting in Rochester, has been asked by the commission’s attorneys to order Kane to reopen the case and give it preference on the court calendar as a special election matter. Kane’s ruling, however, did allow one of the amendments—concerning personal liability for unpaid property taxes after the city has foreclosed —to remain on the ballot. Supporters of the amendments, including Buffalo Mayor James Griffin, believe the government streamlining would result in a stronger government. Griffin told an empty Fillmore room last week, that the city would be better able to work on downtown projects, such as the waterfront area, with a more powerful mayor. In a debate last week at Canisius College, Common Council Chief of Staff David Rutecki contested Griffin’s view. He claimed that 'i$£. ,‘t if the downtown projects would Council consisted only of representatives to a particular district. At-large councilmen supposedly represent the entire city’s interest. Rutecki alluded to the Mayor’s political stake in the' amendments. Griffin, however, maintained that his reasons are financial, not political, in nature. He quoted the fiscal savings at $66,000 per councilman per year or about $1.3 million over the four year term. The Commission’s opponents asserted that the at-large berths also provide needed checks and balances on city government. Attacked as a tool of Griffin, the Commission itself came under fire. Maston District Councilman David Collins charged “this was a vengeful power grab by Mayor Griffin, and the public should be appalled.” He maintained that the former tavern owner, .-turned politician, “ensure” the commission’s outcome by handpicking the members—a claim that Griffin supporters vehemently deny. Other opponents contend that there are racial overtones to the proposal. In response to a UB questioner, Griffin attacked holders of those views: “The black/white issue just does not hold water, in-my opinion,” he said. The Mayer then proceeded to rattle off the financial benefits of the move. Today’s arguments in the Appellate Court come only eight days before the November 6 general election when the amendments are to be voted on. All of the proposals will appear on the ballot, should Kane’s ruling be reversed or remain in limbo. The Charter Commission is prepared to, if necessary, take the legal battle to the final authority, the State Court of Appeals in Albany. Commission members expect they could be ready to argue before the Court later this week, should the Appellate Court reject the appeal. j .• — ' raw-Hill Health Professions Bookstore Week HAS BEEN EXTENDED THROUGH November 2nd. you’ll find discounts up to 50% on McGraw-Hill medico and nursing bestsellers plus a sweepstakes drawing for the new 2 volume edition of Harrison’s Principles of Internal Medicine... a $55.00 value FREE.

Key strengths The English PhD placement record at UB follows the trend seen over the last 10 years. "For 10 years we have been placing people well, but it was not as striking then because of the good market,” commented Carrithers. He pointed out that UB has continued to place very well over the last four years though the job market is “desperate.” The reason for the successful placement is the diversification of the PhD program, said Carrithers. “The three strengths that not many programs have are-in Modern Literature, American Literature, and literary criticism and theory,” he said, noting that the UB program has a broader, more stable base. Several years ago, the focus was placed on the specialization in certain literary periods, but the current trend emphasizes writing instruction as well. “Many jobs available today demand strength in criticism and literary .“ said Carrithers. theory—a key strength in this department The graduate program at UB in English has a lower attrition rate then many other universities, he said. Carrithers commented, “The low dropout rate parallels the rigorous screening and hiring of junior faculty and the careful Selection of top quality graduating students.” The Humanities in general are feeling the pinch of a depressed job market. In a 1977 survey conducted by the Higher Education Research Institute in Los Angeles, it was found that 33 percent of new PhD in Humanities are unemployed in contrast to 10 percent in other areas such as —Cathy Carlson the sciences. - .*. • SUNY in ISRAEL Kibbutz-Haifa University Spring Semester Two months working & studying Hebrew on a kibbutz.

To stand before a group of over 250 concerned students and say that he would consider remaining in his post EVEN If all threee campus constituencies—students, faculty, and professional employees—voiced NO CONFIDENCE takes guts. i It is not politically wise to tell students before they vote that he doesn't really care what they conclude. No elected official would tell his district that its views do not matter. But Ketter is not elected. This is the same Janus-faced President who declares, “I believe the channels of communication to and from the President are open and that the business of the University Is discussed openly and frankly.” This question of non-support was a hyhpothetical one Friday. But his answer was telling. If the majority of the campus community opposes the President’s retaining his office and tells him so, Ketter might want to stay anyway. In other words, communication exists according to Ketter, but if he disagrees with what people—a lot of people—might say, too bad. Although Ketter lacks political savvy, to defend his unimpressive track record in an open forum full of Adminlstation-alienated students is not easy. The President has had plenty of experience rebounding rigorous questions—and it shows. He will frequently offer detailed sidestepping explanations that lull the questioner and the audience into passive but confused satisfaction. Ketter has moxy to tell students that his administration is committed to improving teaching, pointing to Vice President for Academic Affairs Ronald Bunn’s decision to fund SCATE $5000. If Ketter were truly committed, his administration would cover the full $10,000 cost, SCATE would be mandatory for all faculty, and he would affirm next year’s teaching effectiveness handbook. True answers never seem to materialize in his stream of bureaucratic words. Why—if he were truly committed to evaluating teaching was there no SCATE last year? Why do students have to initiate discussion pertaining to his plans to deprive Resident Advisors of their rommate-free status set for implementation next Fall. Last year, studnets, dorm residents, RA’s and some Housing officials were outraged at this plan. Do they.have to become outraged again, so Ketter will appoint a committee to analyze the University’s housing needs? The University President is undergoing serious campus scrutiny as the on-site evaluation date approaches. He has recently written two public statements about UB, neither of which adequately discussed the state of this University; both of which distorted, facts and ignored WHY we are proceeeding in the direction we are. An honest, open President would go out of his way to answer questions and explain his leadership. Ketter has gone out of his way to hinder the campus’ attempt to evaluate him. An appearance in front of students should not be confused with the necessary responses this University is demanding. The President claims he is concerned with students and will probably, point to his Friday talk to demonstrate this. That he appeared is relatively trivial, because what he really got across was; “As President, I can ignore campus constituencies if I disagree with them.” * Teach-in To the Editor: On Monday, October 29, there wilt be a teach-in on the subject of nuclear power and weapons proliferation.

To the Editor: As one who enjoys walklhg through wooded areas, I am offended by the shameful waste that Is practiced by our UB newspapers. In light of a growing shortage of newsorkit and trees, why are there so many redundant and unnecessary papers published? The resultant news overkill reaches absurdity when you have incestuous reporting of "the news of the newspapers.” All of these papers keep begging In wasteful full-page ads for staff, rather than reacting maturely by cutting down issue size or investigating combination with existing papers. Most have excessive press runs. Thousands of newspapers go into the waste bin untouched, while thousands more are unread or unwanted. Often times, the inflated press runs reflect inflated egos. Papers like Thundercurrent and The Other One serve as little more than vanity presses. The publishing of newspapers should be undertaken responsibly, as in the real world. If the subsidies were cut, these papers would have to be managed sensibly. The people who want the paper will buy them, thus insuring a true measure of their need, and we would help to save our forests by an end to unnecessary papers and press over runs. How can you be so self-righteous when accusing Hooker, and at the same time be as guilty as they are by aiding the needless destruction of acres of forests?Are the egos of editors and their soapboxes to be valued more than our forests?

' �feedback Sex discrimination Continuing of hostility To the Editor To the Editor: I was disturbed by the tone of the article on Black Studies In The Spectrum (October 19) because of Its Sisyphistic nature. During the past six years the department has attempted to clarify its role with two deans and numerous committees as well as with President Ketter on several occasions. The problem ‘Simply and bluntly put is the continuing hostility to African and African American people on this campus. Thus, any growth or development in African or African American Studies becomes a threat to the “too-whlte” composition of this university In faculty, curricula, students and activities. Dean Levy’s lack of understanding is revealed when he does not understand that “African" comprised black people in Africa, the Americas, or the Caribbean. His inordinate defense of his position against the change of the Department of Black Studies name Is also revealing, particularly when he has been urged to follow the national trend In this regard by members of the Chancellor’s Task Force and several faculty members. The name change issue is so simple as to be absurd. But the Issue apparently goes deeper than the change of name, it goes to the heart of recalcitrance over blacks defining themselves. W$ though these kinds of stupid debates had been settled In the sixties; we had at least wished for a longer moratorium. Dean Levy’s statement that present faculty cannot deliver the “educational experiences”- which the proposed name implies Is a serious misunderstanding by the Dean. Everything that Is presently taught under department's present name is African and African American Studies. What the department has argued Is that the name change would adequately reflect the national trend and dispense with the negative political overtones of "Black Studies." I would suspect that this would also encourage more students to take courses in the department. It appears that those people “mad” at the Dean are agitated by his refusal to see both the logic and academic soundness of the department's rational request. My own view is that the constituency of the department is much larger than reflected by the number of majors; a more adequate indication Is the number of people who would take Its courses If the university participated in a serious effort to upgrade the number of faculty assigned to the department. Molefl Kete Asante Professor Department of Communication Campus CLARIFICATION LETTER SUNYAB Is a public Institution that supposedly harbors no sexual discrimination. Scholastically, I assume that this Is true. However, extra-currlcularly, there Is one case of blatant sexual discrimination. It can be found on the Amherst campus at the Wltkeson Pub. I am specifically referring to what Is billed at the Pub as "Ladies Night". Women are admitted free and men must pay $1.00 to ehter. I would have no complaints with this policy, if a similar policy existed for the men at this University. In an era of equal rights enlightenment, as we are currently in, it seems very odd that in one of the few places we have, to learn and interact as equals (the University community), this type of thing exists. This can be corrected. I’m not advocating a full scale boycott or a noisy protest; Just a general awareness of the current situation. The patrons of the Pub should write a few letters; fill out a few of the suggestion forms available, call attention to the problem by speaking to the management of the Pub. Chances are the people running the Pub were not consciously attempting to offend anyone. I foresee a simple solution to this problem. To the Editor Perry Wolfson I would like to clarify that my letter of 9/21/79 to The Spectrum was specifically referring to the views of Professor Asante published in the 9/7/79 issue of The Spectrum which I and others perceived to be antiSemitic and racist. Thank you. the Gerald Ooldhaber Riglits of unconsciousness To the Editor: Buffalo Rights of Unconsciousness Group Is a small but feisty organization (when awake, that is) dedicated to the right of people everywhere, but especially on this campus, to be unconscious. It’s hard to believe, but many students and faculty, not to mention administration, have been utilizing the right of unconsciousness without even being aware that they’re doing so! Please don’t confuse our organization with Buffalo Rights of Conscience or Buffalo Rights of Consciousness groups. They think that to be unconscious Is badl We, however, believe that unconsciousness is the ultimate good. This doctrine has been advocated throughout history, and I needn’t cite oases except to mention the Droits du Homme In passing. These, of course, are: 1. drinking, 2. sating, 3. sleeping, 4. another activity which can be done In a horizontal position. Dreaming Is obviously included under (3) sleep, but is special to the hearts of the Rights of Unconscious group. Our meetings are especially satisfying In this respect, as we encourage members to stay home, put their heads on their respective pillows and dream. Usually, these dream meetings are more fun and get ( Deeply concerned To the Editor: Seven Black American civil rights leaders and trade union officials who visited Israel recently expressed abhorrence for the Palestine Liberation Organization and said that while American Blacks hold a variety of opinions on the Middle East conflict, all agree that the U.S. must support the existence of a free Israel within secure borders. If those Black leaders believe In Israel's right to exist, then we can clearly see that Individuals such as Ref. Jesse Jackson and Prof. Molefl Asante are trying their best to spawn further anti-Semitism and anti-Zionism. One of the groups’ member, Bayard Rustin, said “to make the PLO respectable is like making the Ku Klux Klan If the followers of Jackson truly believe him, then there is no hope for those people. To base their opinions on fallacies only proves that whatever Jackson says is illogical, racist, and only for his own egotistical purposes. Quoting further from Bayard Rusting the situation that people like Jackson "We oppose all expressions of racism, and violence wherever they appear. And best sums up have created: anti-Semitism we are deeply committed to continue to strengthen the special historic relationship that Blacks and Jews have maintained in the U.S.” To that I say may God be with you, Mr. Rustin, and hdpe that more people who see the light as you do realize that Israel had been reborn In 1947, and is here to stay. respectable.” The followers of Rev. Jackson are being bred with no cognition of Judaism, Zionism, or Israel. absolutely Barry Schwartz Preaidant Jewish Student Union Herbicide Agent Orange To the Editor: In the article on "Herbicide Agent Orange” appearing in The Spectrum on Oct. 15,1979, it is stated that most of the Viet Nam veterans seen by me since 1978 “have been treated for Chloracne and released”. Chloracne, If if appears, Is an immediate reaction to exposure to Agent Orange or precisely to dioxin, a contaminant of 2,4,5 T defoliant. I have not seen a case of chloracne and therefore I certainly could not have recommended the medical absurdity attributed to me: to treat these patients utilizing the “advances In plastic surgery". The health related consequences of dioxin toxicity have become a highly emotional Issue fueled by understandable frustrations, uncertainty, fear and sensationalism. The problem first gained national attention as a result of actions taken by organizations of Viet Nam veterans. The resulting broad investigations disclosed that the potential victims may not only be the Air Force personnel who sprayed the defoliant or the soldiers exposed to it In the jungles of Viet Nam, but the civilian population In states of Oregon, Washington and elsewhere, because almost twice as much of this defoliant was sprayed here In the U.S. Chemical workers have been exposed to dioxin during the manufacturing process of chlorinated hydrocarbons or in Industrial accidents In the U.S., Germany, Italy, Holland, France, the Soviet Union and the worst accident In Czechoslovakia. Government agencies (DOD, USAF, ERA, VA, OSHA, etc.), the National Academy of Sciences, Medical Centers (Mount Sinai Hospital,NYC and others), the chemical Industry and the World Health Organization are attempting to identify the exposed population and perform thorough epidemiological studies of this enigma.

Due to the extreme toxicity and unknown late effects of dioxin, naturally human experiments can not be performed. At present the only documented results of dioxin exposure in humans are chloracne and anxiety generated by uncertainty. The questions of oncogenecity (tumor production) and mutageneclty (production of birth defects) may be answered only in the future by the above mentioned investigations. Animals exposed to small doses of dioxin for a long period of time suffered general weakness and wasting. Experiments related to oncogenecity are controversial. Birth defects and abortions were reported only in those cases, In which the pregnant females themselves were exposed to dioxin. Sterility occurred in male animals, however exposed non-sterlle males bred with nonexposed females did not transmit birth defects. Acute toxicity studies revealed that the LD-50 (lethal dose which kills 50 percent of the recipients) for guinea pig Is only .6 mlcrogram/kg. LD-50 for male rats Is 82 mlcrogram/kg., for female rat 45, for monkeys 70, for rabbits 115. Human data are not available. (The statement In the article, that "12 ounces”—330 grams!—of dioxin Is “fatal for a 150 lb. person" Is a rather gross mistake.) Those Viet Nam veterans, who think that they or their family suffer from the consequences of Agent Orange (dioxin) exposure, are thoroughly checked out by the VA Medical Centers by extensive laboratory tests, physical examination, referred to other specialists If necessary, along with detailed history of their exposure, health problems and family history, including birth defects. The results are computerized, partially In search for common symptoms and signs, partially for eventual future contact, pending on the findings of the world wide studies.

Szlmonisz M.D. Clinical Associate Professor of Medicine �m I Pearson is the enemy To the Editor: queen. The attire and attitudes of any person is the Jack Pearson is correct when he says gays are their own worst enemies, for he makes a good one. Factually, he Is incorrect In both the trivial and the profound. Trivially speaking, victory In the bedroom arena from bowling alley to disco, from bar to boardroom, Is a highly touted form of straight male distinction as well. Profoundly, his suggestion that gays hold two standards of morality, one for straights and one for gays is absurd. I have never met a gay, conservative or liberal, who has sanctioned two personal moral codes. In addition, Mr. Pearson Ignores half of the gay population, females, In whom conservative sexual behavior has been nurtured. Women, like men, carry the straight culture into their gay lifestyles where stereotype and convention now double In same-sex relationships. This perhaps explains the seeming promiscuity of males, and the reticence of females. I am also askance at his attitude suggesting an allpervasive conformity. There are types, of course, but they span the range from Marlboro Man to Esquire Effete, from captain of the volleyball team to prom panoply of their social background. One visit to the bars and you will clearly ascertain this. You will also see mingling between every social stratum and that’s a rarity In the straight world. Finally, I am angry that Pearson has missed the joy and freedom of our lifestyle; It Is not all oppression and peeking from closets. Accustomed to taking the inlatlve at gay bars I asked men at the "Stacks” to dance. It appeared I was the only woman among hundreds who felt comfortable doing this. I have numerous gay friends who give caring and attention partially by virtue of my being gay, but it Is the same way members of any ethnic group pull together. Today it appears we gays approach a revolution in alternative lifestyles that will supplant the nuclear family and will survive a love relationship in case It falters. In today’s selfish, glamour-ridden, throw-away society it is a miracle that any relationships survive at all, especially for those who love In the face of hate and without institutionalized economic or social support. And, believe me, our love endures. Name withheld upon request Stifling adjustment To the Editor: "The greatest problem adjusting to a homosexual lifestyle Is negatjve heterosexual attitudes" was the statement made by Mark Foxenburg, a member of the Gay Liberation Front. Not only Is this statement true but also the extension that _ negative homosexual attitudes of some are a problem also. In his commentary on "Gays and Straights". Jack Pearson does to himself and many others in the gay community what most heterosexists do He stereotypes gays and their lifestyles. He reinforces the idea that all gays are the sexually promiscuous deviants they are frequently made out to be. Throughout the entire article he denies that gay oppression Is a societal problem and not just one concocted by a few Irrational people. With this kind of thinking Mr. Pearson not only Isolates himself In the process of change (that he says they desperately need) but also isolates and stifles the progress being made by heterosexuals trying to deal with their own biases.

It Is perhaps because I am a senior and will soon be transiting to another university and forro-of study that I so often find myself welling-up with uplifting feelings and busily introspecting to find their source. That search Is never long-lived; the source is clear to me. I hope that you can take this sampling of my experience and see how it relates to your life. I hope it will prompt you to think about how you could be getting more out of your experience at U.B. It is true that sometimes, when great energy is put Into some activity, instead of losing that energy, the body feels a strengthening and Invlgoration. Such a process moved me last Saturday when I spent most of the morning and afternoon taking the Graduate Record Exams. CalHng on your powers of memory, analysis and association with a time limit can tie a strenuous experience. It was for me. After the exams, I went directly to work where the onslought of Saturday evening customers, as usual, teased their way Into my sensibilities. Last week finally ended at 9:30 and I hurried home to a shower and clean clothes, grabbed my guitar, some white wine and Cheddar and a friend and went to the house where seven of my fraternity brothers live. A few of us sat on the white-wood porch: what a great porch! It embraces you, wide with chairs, like my grandfather’s porch, or the way it used to be, where the wind wanders unstopped. We talked some. We listened some to the wind. I played some songs, ones that Invite .. you to, iv .. , "Come by the hills to the land where fancy is free And stand where the peaks meet the sky and the locks meet the sea, Where the rivers run clear and the bracken Is warm in the sun, And the cares of tomorrow must wait till this day is done." = It was late that evening when began to get bpck some of the energy that I had exerted earlier.

If that sounds at all cliche to you remember that there is a basis in reality to most cliches; am motivated by the “basis”, not the cliche. I Since I have become a brother of the Delta Chi Fraternity, the association between myself and my brothers has wakened a strange, powerful force in me. It drives-me when my own sense of direction becomes confused. So my brothers are a ballast to my life—to stabilize it. When I say that Saturday night made me feel great, that feeling is not worthless. My uplifted spirit can drive me to study harder, to work and play harder, to be more compassionate to people aroynd me. It can make me try harder to beJhe things I want to be.

This Committee brings up a valid point—that quite often a lower level or new professional employee will have limited impact on overall corporate direction, and too much rabble-rousing could Jeopardize his reputation for reasonableness so necessary for his Job mobility and even his Job itself. This phenomenon is not limited to troubled corporations. A reasonable engineer will not expect to affect change overnight, but should be In the game for the long haul, learning the reasons for past decisions in his first years, contributing where and when possible, and watching his ability to contribute grow as his knowledge of the of a corporate environment expands. I do ot subscribe to the idea that each step up the Corporate ladder results In or Is a result of a blackening an**ffitllvjdual’8 conscience and a lock-step greerpejd with Its top management. Whaft-poeelble good can It do to restrict troubled Corporation’s access to new college graduates, who are probably the most environmentally aware Somplexltles !f generation of technical people in history? is the idea to break the company by removing its access to the people necessary to run the equipment? This can’t work. The chemical industry is not labor Intensive with respect to technical personnel; a few engineers can a huge process running. By removing access to concerned graduates all one does is force the recruiter to up the monetary stakes until they get the people they need. Because of the small technical labor to capital ratio, this will not break the corporation. All it does is attract engineers, either new graduates or experienced, who are motivated to a larger extent by money. I shudder to think of the effect of a bunch of engineers whose major concern is money, rising through the ranks over the years to guide a corporation based on their Individual motives and morals! I cannot see a reason to restrict Hooker's recruiting, unless it is strictly punitive. Unless one oan bankrupt the 27th largest corporation in America, they will get the people they need to stay In business.

Cabinet level Department of Education was officially formed by President Jimmy Carter October 17. The move, which consolidates federal Education programs into an independent unit, demonstrates increased nationwide recognition of the importance and complexity of education. The Department of Education will reduce the size of the Department of Health, Education, and Welfare (HEW), which formerly handled all education issues at the federal level. HEW is now the Department of Health and Human Services. The former Education Division of HEW forms the heart of the new department, with programs from the departments of Agriculture, Justice, Housing aqd Urban Development, and Labor also under its wing. significantly alter the size of the federal budget for education or help increase efficiency. “The only way for a budget to grow is for Congress to give it more money,” Boyer pointed out. The debate over the creation of the department pitted some of America’s largest unions againsteach other. The National Educators Association, the largest teacher organization in -the country, actively supported the idea. The group claimed the move would give “the kind of clout and attention education issues need and deserve.” The two groups leading the opposition were the American Federation of Teachers and the AFL-CIO. These organizations claimed that the bill was costly, would eventually cost the taxpayers millions of dollars and is a waste of Congreptf time. Public flak Although the creation of the new department has caused some political furor, Carter is expected to benefit from the move. The ‘Primarily symbolic’ National Educators Association, The new department will have a which has 1.8 million members has budget exceeding $14 billion and endorsed Carter’s yet unannounced will employ about 18,000 workers. candidacy for 1980.

Congress. Boyer believes that the creation After Carter first presented his of the new department not blueprints of the department to the Congress, legislators—especially those in the House of Representatives—played a game of “political football” with the proposed measure. Southern Democrats, led by Senator Jesse Helms of North Carolina, authored a crippling amendment to the bill, forcing the department to allow the return of voluntary prayer to the classrooms. This amendment, along with two amendments on abortion prohibiting abortions at a school’s emergency medical facilities and worked out with the help of civil rights groups in the Senate. It was similar to the House amendment, which committed the department to ensuring equal access to education, but it deleted the phrases containing the prohibition of quotas or ratios. After Congress had finished fumbling around with its additions and deletions to the bill, it determined which programs would be under the control of the new department. The higher education community was particularly troubled over the proposed transfer forbidding the use of mandatory student fees at universities for abortions was dropped before the bill was passed. of the National Science Foundation’s educational role to the new department. University educaators feared that removing these functions from the Fumbling around Other amendments dealing with the controversial issues of racial quotas-and busing were approved by Congress, but in a “watered down form” according to educators. The original Housepassed bill committed the infant department against the use of racial or sexual quotas in educational admissions. A substitute amendment was - Foundation would perhaps downplay the '"Special needs of science education. A similar concern was echoed over the transfer of the National Foundation on the Arts and Humanities. Strong protests from the academic constituency lead to the final prevention of these programs’ appearances on the bill. Similar confrontations arose in the proposed transfers of the School Lunch program from the Department of Agriculture and Indian Education programs from the Department of the Interior. Due to stiff opposition from many public and private sectors these programs yrill remain in their former departments. But more than ISO federal programs now fall under the domain of the Department of Education. Since the department’s final approval, attention has been focused on the selection of the first Secretary of Education. Political considerations will probably play a role in. the selection process. Prominent names mentioned for the post include: Director of Personnel Management Alan K. Campbell; Assistant secretary for education in HEW Mary Berry; Superintendent of the California school system Wilson C. Riles; Former head of the University of Michigan Robben W. Fleming; former Governor of New Mexico Jerry Apodaca; Television journalist William Moyers; and SUNY Chancellor Clifford R. Wharton Jr. Wharton has since told the Buffalo Evening News that he is not interested in the position. Whoever is chosen |o lead the department “must eve about education” and be a “good manager” a White House aide told the Buffalo Courier-Express. He explained “The department may be something of a target for criticism.” A new secretary should be chosen within the next six months when the department fust becomes operational. Compounding the fledging department’s early problems is a general lack of public interest pertaining to it. In a recent sampling of UB and Buffalo State students, 87 percent did not know that the new department was created. Of the 13 percent who were aware of its existence, 73 percent believed that the Department of Education would not benefit their education and would only increase bureaucracy in federal government.

Call John Kamaras NOi/V at - by Patricia Gordon SpMrum Stuff Writer was drafted into the Army It was an obvious contradiction Clad in basketball sneakers, blue jeans, and a black T-shirt, Bob Marlett ran up the stairs with an armful of papers and two cups of coffee. He looked more like an over aged graduate student than the editor-in-chief of The Reporter, UB’sS of the administration. Considering the paper’s limited scope of administrative policies and faculty interests, 1 was curious whether its top man fit the image of an administrative hack. He didn’t. I had imagined him wearing a suit or a jacket, stingy with five minutes of his precious time. But Bob Marlett takes his job in stride. Handing me a cup of coffee with his easy-going smile, he invited me on a tour of The Reporter’s news room—two desks located in Amherst’s Crofts Hall. Bob Marlett has been affiliated with the University of Buffalo for 20 years now and Editor-in-Chief of The Reporter since it began 10 years ago. His past is an impressive one although he would be the last to admit it. He received his B.A. from the University of Southern Mississippi—which explains the southern accent of a Massachusetts boy—his first journalism experience was as a general assignment reporter for Bristol Newspapers on the VirginiaTcnnessee border. From there, he he suggested that “maybe I had been in the newspaper business too long.” There was also the time when he mistook a Chinese band for being Japanese. “The letters and phone calls were funny,” he admitted. Old folk’s home Marlett landed here at the University in 1960, beginning as Assistant to the Director of University Relations. Within two years, he became Director. For a while, also held the position of Director for | University Publications Services. He has left his job twice at the University in attempts to try his had in other fields. While working towards a Master’s degree in History he was placed in a Lackawanna school teaching history. He soon gave that up because “being a disciplinarian is not one of my stronger characteristics.’’ Afterwards he returned to UB to develop and edit The Reporter. As for his higher education, he quipped. “Someday I’m sure I’ll get a Ph.D., probably when I’m in an old folk’s home.” A huge grin appeared on his face when asked about successful and memorable moments at The Reporter. The ones he remembered the most were letters dealing with his writing. “One letter from Gene Grabiner, assistant professor in Marxist studies, suggesting that I enjoyed sensationalizing instead of accurately reporting the news. In that same letter, he also insinuated that I was chauvinistic,” he smiled. Marlett laughingly recalled a letter from former editor-in-chief of The Spectrum, Jay Rosen in which One full-time writer The staff of The Reporter consists of Mariett who is the only full-time writer, and members of the University Publications Staff. One thing for sure, Mariett works hard at what he does. “I don’t have time for many other activities. Most of it is spent here.” For such an experienced newspaperman, Mariett remains mpdest. As he flipped through fast The Reporter issues, he complained of a bad memory but yet within minutes found specific articles from ten years of publication. His opinions concerning specific issues on ,pampus were hard to determine. As the editor of the “mouthpiece of the administration” he feels that his personal opinions should remain personal. “The Reporter’s” job is to report the facts—good or bad—to the University population, he asserted. Marlett is The Reporter. Watching Sunday afternoon football games, Marlett would rather spend the day alone with his office typewriter unevenly rapping out stories for the next Thursday’s Reporter. 634-7129. Nov.

One such Chemical production generates by Stephen John Spectrum Stuff Writer The New York State Environmental Planning Lobby recently launched an ambitious agenda of environmental topics at its annual convention in Rochester. Various panelists discussed the proposed State Energy Master Plan, which argues the merits of small-scale—versus large-scale plans for energy development. Large, centrally owned and operated power plants—such as nuclear or oil burning—currently compose the nation’s energy network. Environmentalists desire to break the traditional dependence on big facilities by allowing homeowners to apply their own ... technology. The plan is a move toward relieving New York’s high energy costs caused by its excessive dependence on foreign oil. The plan advocates decentralized, less energy intensive development—such as small-scale solar and wind projects. State Commissioner James LaRocca also urged the nation to “drill for conservation” as it does for oil and gas. LaRocca explained that conservation is inexpensive and readily available —taking the forms of automobile driving, more household insulation, lower thermostats, etc. hazardous wastes that are improperly disposed 90 percent of the time, according to a recent Congressional report. State DEC Commissioner Robert Flacks tried to pull together the seemingly opposed environmental factions of realists and visionaries. He explained that huge costs have been incurred to clean up and protect the environment. “These costs may never have occurred if sound environmental and economic decisions bad been made from the start,” reasoned Flacke, noting that environmental protection and economic growth are potentially compatible. SA lawyer calls toxic waste legislation ineffective Environmental lawyer Dick Lippes impressed a group of students with the “complexity” of environmental law last Wednesday night at the Ellicott Complex, Lippes, who represents both~rthe Sierra Club and the Love Canal Homeowners Association, noted that environmental legislation has gained pace throughout the 70’s. The young and dapper Lippes spoke to a crowd of about 40, comprising environmental studies students and prospective lawyers. Rachel Carson College and Group Legal Services (GLS) co-sponsored the event. Lippes also is retained by US’s Sub-Board, the student services corporation.. Many protective acts were passed this decade, but one law is the “keystone of the environmental movement,” according to Lippes. The 1970 National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) mandated that “major Federal projects of significant impact”—such as dams and-highways undergo an — environmental assessment before construction begins. Since many private projects involve some Federal financing, NEPA represented a potentially powerful check on the nation’s development, -Lippes explained that few congressmen realized the immense \ impact NEPA would have on traditionally uncontested "pork barrel” projects. But wellorganized environmental groups won major court cases that sent government agencies and influential builders realing over precedentsetting judicial decisions. Many judges surprisingly interpreted NEPA strictly, said Lippes, forcing many major projects to undergo the time-consuming environmental impact evaluation. Another NEPA provision allowed for private citizens, not specifically affected by a project, to petition for such an environmental review. These extended lawsuits are the prime ammunition' of environmentalist, observed Lippes. A typical environmental impact statement could take months to write, forcing developers to • abandon projects because of unexpected high costs. Other laws have not fared as well as the comprehension NEPA, according to Lippes. The Clean Air and Water Acts routinely have weakening amendments tacked onto them. Even NEPA’s effectiveness is being whittled away by the energy crisis, as President Carter urges “fast track review” of crucial energy projects. When NEPA jolted the nation by halting many projects, “judges got more sympathetic” to developers, said the lawyer, noting that the current trend is one of project approval. NEPA precipitated many State “little NEPAs” serving as potential checks against attempts to weaken Federal policy. New York’s little NEPA is the State Environmental Quality Review Act (SEQR), covering all municipalities. Since almost any large development requires State or Federal approval, projects must undergo public review—the arena where citizens can influence decision makers. Since NEPA requires public input before construction begins, citizens can kill projects at the drawing board. It is more difficult to stop a project after construction is underway, explained Lippes. Lippes also pointed to legislative failure in the toxic waste arr bi la' Lippcs is not optimistic about the nationwide effort to clean up and monitor chemical landfills. “No one wants a dumpsite in their backyard, especially after Love Canal,” he declared. thousands la: Canal an< $2 Now car complete Art* our slaw and a drink o( your choice all for one, low price It's a templing meal at a tempting price from Arthur Treachers-a nice little seafood « restaurant A( l*» Offct »k* l|l»ill i Environmental Editor i•**|lil« 1»*l *•!*> i*'* mr.

Indoor soccer—smaller field, and weather that does not affect . the play. ■ Although there are now itwo professional indoor soccer leagues in this country, the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) does not officially recognize indoor soccer. Many colleges and universities sport indoor soccer teams, but not at the varsity level. “Indoor soccer is a pick-up type thing at UB,” soccer coach Salvatore Esposito said, appraising the sport here. According to varsity soccer player Mike Marszalkowski, most of the indoor players who make up UB’s loosely organized squad play varsity soccer, although a few do not. “Outdoor soccer has been described as a cross between bkllet and chess,” Marszalkowski explained. “It’s a thinking man’s game Indoor soccer has quick, continuous action very much like ice hockey.” l, ;V i | 4.

The team will start practicing in early December in Clark Hall; However, Esposito asserted that it will not receive any monetary compensation’. “I’ll help them with uniforms, but that’s it,” the coach noted. At the State University College at Buffalo, indoor soccer receives school funding. “We try to budget in entry fees for tournaments, meals, and some travel —at a reduced rate,” Buffalo State soccer coach Fred Hartrick said. “As long as they represent the college, we feel that they should be reimbursed, at least a little bit.” *' — Optics (Engineering) Manufacturing Technology Process and Plastics Engineering Computer Science (Software/Hardware) Engineerlng/Computer Software/Hardware Microwave Development Field Test Support Logic Design Optics Design Thin Film Coating Environmental Design Space Telecommunications Infrared Reconnaissance Thin/Thick Film Design Fab Liaison Engineering Test Equipment Design NC Programming Systems Analysis Cryogenics-Heat Transfer Manufacturing Supervision Printed Wiring Board Engineering FAB Methods Signal Processing Production Contol Functional Manufacturing Engineering Project Manufacturing Engineering Control Digital/Analog Circuit Design Thermal Analysis Mechanical Packaging Tool Design Antenna Design Laser Development Out of the mud, into the gym: indoor soccer kicks Radar Design Computer Software Assembly Methods Computer-aided Design Computer-aided Testing Aerodynamics Control Systems Applied *''■ # Mechanics* Quality and Reliability Assurance Manufacturing Information Systems Microprocessor Design Minicomputer Applications Mechancial Design Automated Test Equipment Manufacturing Project-oriented Manufacturing involving: Coordinating Manufacturing Schedule Commitments Cost-Control/Budget Development w Use of Real-Time Computer Systems Manufacturing Supervision Assembly Methods Fab Methods Tool Design NC Programming • • Live in Dallas The Southwest’s largest and liveliest metropolitan area.

O. Box 226015, M.S. 222/Dallas, Texas 75266. Texas Instruments INCORPORATED An equal opportunity employer M/F , . . . >U Indoor tourney Buffalo State has annually hosted indoor soccer tournaments for the last decade. Traditionally, UB, Fredonia, and Geneseo have participated in the Indoor Soccer College Invitational. For the games the bleachers in the gym are moved out to form a six-foot wall that is considered the boundary. About 250 spectators can see the games, but “people come and go-they watch their team play,” Hartrick said, “and then come back for the finals.*’ The expenses for the tournament are paid for by team entry fees, typically $25 per team. Spectators are charged nominally. “We’ve never incurred a loss,” boasted Hartrick. Indoor soccer intramurals for men and women have also been established at Buffalo State this semester UB Intramurals and Recreation Director Bill Monkarsh indicated that a similar program here is feasible, but conceded that students have not yet expressed interest. t “But we would start a pilot program next semester if there is interest,” he maintained. Monkarsh added that he hopes there will be a new facility built where indoor soccer could be played. Otherwise, players will have to adapt to Clark Hall’s already cramped facilities. “Indoor soccer is last on the totem pole, since it is not varsity,” Buffalo State’s Hartrick indicated. “Indoor facilities are taxed to the utmost, because of basketball, volleyball, intramurals, and floor hockey. It would be extremely difficult for indoor soccer to become varisty in the next—at least 10 years,” he speculated. The professional indoor soccer teams, like the Buffalo Stallions ( You’ll get a kick out of it”) play on astroturf. According to Stallions Administrative Assistant Georges Smetana, the cost of modifying Buffalo Memorial Auditorium was roughly $25,000 explaining why many college teams must still play on hard surfaces, such as a basketball court. Former State University College at Geneseo soccer coach Fred Bright explained that indoor soccer there is considered to be an extension of the outdoor season. “The intent is to help soccer players improve their skills,” he explained. The future of indoor soccer may well rest on the success of the professional leagues, predicted Hhrtrick. He added that the game’s popularity should continue to be greatest in the Noitheast, since there s no need to play inside during winter in California.” < ... 1 �■» [ m D p v- **■* 0 ITQ US) Bulls’ field goal provides margin of victory in snoozer by Carlos Vailarino i explained Currey, the defensive captain. Editor “The offense just moved the ball and gave the defense a r&t.” Not much happened at Rotary Field Saturday afternoon. The football Bulls won the Dull Bowl, outsnoring...pardon me, outscoring a pathetic St. Lawrence squad, 3-0, to even their record at 4-4. All the credit -fnust go to the defense. The “brickline” unit the Saints from assembling that so much looked like an drive. “The defensive backs played the game of their lives,’* praised Cosmo Nestola, Buffalo’s nose guard. “We had a great practice all week. We’d been talking about a shutout.” The members of UB’s backfield generally were not modest about their roles in the victory. More tfian one, however, credited backfield coach Sparky Adams with their improvement over the course of the season. “Withoiit Sparky we wouldn’t know what we we’re doing,” admitted free safety Bob Costanzo. “He’s given us a new defense that’s simple and easy to understand. And he doesn’t bitch when we do something wrong, and that’s important.” Even Shane Currey, a linebacker, complimented Adams for improving the quality of play of the men who line up directly behind him. “He has made a big difference from last year.They play more as a team and as a unit,” he lauded. One of Adams’ pupils turned in the outstanding play of the game.With only five minutes remaining, the Saints were driving toward at least a field goal when cornerback Paul McCarthy pulled down a fantastic onehanded interception at the two-yard line.

Once I saw the ball I went for it.” He added that the team practices making the tough catches during workouts. McCarthy’s acrobatics quelled the Saints’ momentum and sealed the game’s outcome. Aided by a big roughing-the-punter penalty against the hosts, the Saints had marched from their own 20-yard line to Buffalo’s 16, after radically changing the game plan from a conservative runninng attack to an effective mixture of passing and rushing. The Bulls actually had stopped the drive at the St. Lawrence 34-yard line, but in an attempt to next to Got it “1 got one hand on it and got it down,” block the punt two UB players missed the ball and crashed into kicker Dick Stevens earning a 15-yard penalty. Ironically, the drive was prolonged by the same player who was later responsible for stalling it. “Me and Costanzo were coming hard going for that punt,” revealed McCarthy after the game. “And we collided—and gave the ball right back to them.” v For a change, the Bulls’ defense was not on the field all day. Several defensive players have explained that if their unit has been ineffective in the past, it was due to the offense’s inability to sustain a drive—forcing the defense to play much of the game. “We didn’t play any differently today,” out better Ground game UB coach Bill Dando felt satisfied with the running attack, which netted 174 yards, including Vince Quarles’ 77. Even quaterback Jim Rodriguez got into the act. He burst for 31 yards on the day—although looking more like a hurried pedestrian during rush hour than a running back. The improved rush helped disguise Rodriguez’ pasting day, which featured three completions [all to Frank Price for 37 yards] in seven tries and a costly interception deep in Saints’ territory. For its efforts, the attack should have put more points on the scoreboard. Yet, only one Buffalo drive culminated in a scoring play. It began when Saints’ t|uaterback Mark Ferranle fumbled a keeper at midfield and UB’s Dave Florek recovered. The scene was repeated throughout the day—St. Lawrence fumbled five times, losing four— as Ferrante executed the dangerous triple option with the finesse of an underpaid bricklayer. The freshman’s careless one-handed tosses to his backs were frequently juggled and dropped. Rodriguez was sacked by Ranee Davis on the key series’ first play from midfield, but a holding penalty against Hie Saints put the Bulls on their visitors’ 42-yard line instead of their own 42. Rodriguez twice kept the ball on the triple option and scampered for 16 yards. Freshman runner Tony Percival, who saw extensive action due to regular starter Mark Maier’s injury last week, also contributed to the drive. But a delay-of-game penalty on third down finally killed the effort. UB kicker Steve Pawluk booted a 29-yard field goal—his eighth in 10 tries—for the only points in the game. UB volleyballers split games in mirror matches by John Devaney Stuff Writer scores of 15-1. Buffalo coach Peter Weinrich didn’t seem to concerned by his team’s up and down performance. “We still have 10 games to play tomorrow,” he noted. Before the McMaster game, the Canadians’ coach expressed confidence. “We saw UB at a tournament last week and they didn’t do well. We placed in the semis. I expect to beat them tohight,” she smiled. Spectrum Reminiscent of an Indian war dance, several women’s volleyball teams geared themselves for battle before the Can-Am tourney’s Friday night competition at Clark Hall. The UB Royals voiced the ever familiar, “We don’t mess around, hey!” This cheer came partly true for the UB volleyballers. In mirror performances, the Royals split each of their two-games series with McMaster University of Hamilton, Ontario, and Edinboro College of Pennsylvania. UB won both opening contests against McMaster and Edinboro by the same score of 15-12, but dropped both second games by identical Unexpected success It seemed the Royals got wind of the McMaster coach’s “they’ll be a pushover’’ attitude. Buffalo jumped out to an 8-1 lead on Robin Cooksey’s accurate, hard serves and the gutsy, leaping net play of Lori Hansen and Akemi Tsuji. —Garry Prenata ROYALS SPLIT: In almost Identical parformancas Friday at Clark Hall, tha UB vollayball squad spill a pair of two-gama The game went the Royals’ way until the score reached 10-4. A couple of consecutive fouls by the home team switched the momentum to McMaster, which spiked and hustled its way to wittle the UB lead down to one at 10-9. Wanda Mesmer led Buffalo to a 13-9 lead, but the Canadian team battled back with a furious flurry of shots at the stunned RoVals, who had expected a collapse. Once again, UB regrouped and earned a hard-fought victory. In the second game, McMaster gave the sparse crowd a clinic on how to play successful volleyball while UB showed them how not to. With Bufalo offering only halfhearted resistance, McMaster romped to an easy win. By the time the Edinboro match started, the number of home team fans had doubled or tripled, loudly cheering the host team to a stunning victory. Tsuji was particularly Who’s Hughes?

Bucksutton was charged with operating a public nuisance yet he insisted that Morrison Hotel is not an area nuisance. a. Blind informant However, Captain Robert Cortelli, involved in the raid, stressed that the action was not initiated by any blind informant but rather by numerous complaints of noise and disturbances. Cortelli declined to comment on Bucksutton’s version of the police raid, preferring to resolve all discrepancies in court. Councilman Fahey also countered Bucksutton’s position by noting that complaints directed at hi$ office have contained comments on both The Stacks and Morrison Hotel. In an attempt to find a quick resolution to the problem, Turgeon Brothers (owners of The Stacks) have hired litter crews to clear the streets of broken glass and debris and have also hired security to maintain a semblance of order during tavern hours. Yet this compliance with local pressure has fallen far short of appeasement. “The patrons remain in the neighborhood hours after the guards have gone to bed,” claimed one local Residents fight to close bars Good time or ‘drunken antics’ by Russ Burcheri Stuff Writer Spectrum Buffalo residents in the Bailey Avenue area are fighting to close down two successful local bars. Spearheaded by the Rounds Avenue Block Association, the residents are calling for the closure of both The Stacks Lounge—located over the Library—and The Morrison Hotel. Area homeowners claim their efforts are in response to the “drunken antics” of bar patrons late at night and the disturbances being caused in the neighborhoods. Priority concerns include broken glass potentially hazardous to young children in the neighborhood, vandalism to property, and loud fighting and shouting as late as five o’clock the next morning, residents claim. “How would you like to wake up to a crash in the middle of the night and find that a beer bottle has been thrown through your window?” complained one anonymous Rounds Avenue resident. University District Councilman Eugene Fahey maintained that as long as there is no effort by The Stacks and Morrison Hotel to homeowner. curtail the amount of patrons allowed to enter the clubs and no effort to control the “drunken loitering till daybreak,” the Jproblem will have to be solved by legal means. A stacked deck The Rounds Avenue Block Association has recently taken collective action by drawing petitions calling for prosecution of the tavern’s owner. In June, the Association filed an 87 name petition with the councilman requesting legal proceedings on the grounds of both fire hazard violations and overcrowding. Fahey has also petitioned the State Liquor Authority to revoke The Stacks’ liquor license. Besides actions taken by the local homeowners, Buffalo police have been called The President Speaks To The Students the scene several times. On September 13, the Courier-Express reported that “six young men were arrested in a ‘riotous situation’ outside The Stacks.” The charges ranged from refusing the request of an officer to disorderly conduct. One week later, Morrison Hotel was raided by police and two arrests were made. One of those arrested was Paul Bucksutton, manager of Morrison Hotel, who regarded the intrusion as “an unjustifiable action on the part of the Buffalo police.” Bucksutton maintains that a “blind informant” notified police of various drug dealings going on within his establishment. “Twenty cops were all over my eighty customers, everyone was searched and all they found were three lousy joints. They even stuck their hands in the blue cheese dressing looking for narcotics, he to - Dr. Robert Ketter in The Haas Lounge of Squire Hail ff ,^a FRIDAY v October 26th at 4:00 pm \ Residents see the only solution as closing the bar. Frank Turgeon regarded this as a “violation of my rights as a businessman.” He maintained that the issue is being blown out of proportion by Fahey who “is using the incidents as a vote getting technique for his November re-election campaign.” Turgeon and Bucksutton see themselves as being wrongfully persecuted. “All I want to do is run an establishment where young people can have a good time and no trouble ensues. I am not causing the problems,” stressed Bucksutton. However, Fahey insists that he’s just doing his job as the area’s councilman and remains firm in his commitment. “Something must be done within the next few weeks or 1 will step in. I mean business. I did not become a councilman to chase drunks but rather to protect those residents in the area.” �Grads appoint a committee by Elena Cacavas News Editor In an effort to evaluate University President Robert L. Ketter’s achievements over the past 10 years—as compared to stated goals— the Graduate Student Association (GSA) formed a committee to study the President’s performances. The GSA Senate voted overwhelmingly to establish the six member committee Wednesday, after an hour debate showed uncertainty over the extent of Presidential responsibilities and power's. The statement on Ketter, GSA President Joyce Pinn said, would be relayed to the UB Faculty Senate. The committee is operating with a November 7 deadline to submit its recommendation, so the GSA Senate can form its position on Ketter prior to the outside evalution team’s visit Department, countered that Ketter is usually powerless with regard to important University budget allocations, which, she said, are decided in Albany. Explaining that Physiology works with a smaller budget probe Ketter’s tenure to than it would like, she noted, “We make up the deficit ourselves. He (KetterJ just doesn’t have control.” Although Finn repeatedly admitted that the President’s actual specified job duties are vague. Senate discussion turned to UB’s relationship with the Buffalo community. One senator maintained that the President was weak in his commitment to this area. Repealed pleas to campus. Pinn, reflecting the general uncertainty of the Senate regarding the actual responsibilities and power held by Ketter, could not state SUNY’s criteria for the President’s evaluation since, “It is unknown, and the condition of the campus not the man, is supposedly being considered.” Student involvement Much of the Senate’s debate honed in on whether many of UB’s maladies were traceable to SUNY’s lean budget or Ketter’s leadership. A representative from the Psychology Department charged: “The President has let a first rate department go down the drain.” While Psychology is normally a major part of “any university,” he said, “Ketter has made no attempt to stop pulling dollars away from us.” Another graduate, representing the Physiology —Alan Krlmm Gradual* Student Aaaoclalion President Joyce Plnn Six member committee will examine Ketter's performance Waste site's shutdown threatens UB research by Marc Sherman Environmental Editor UB research using radioactive material may come to a virtual standstill because of the Hanford, Washington nuclear waste burial site shutdown. UB relied on the Hanford site to dispose of liquid wastes. Washington State Governor Dixie Lee Ray recently closed the privately operated site—which researchers nationwide depend on—after complaining to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) about unsafe deliveries including faulty packaging of radioactive wastes and overloaded trucks. The UB Radiation Protection Department, which handles all radioactive low-level radioactive waste from campus labs and local hospitals is not culpable of such mishandling, according to Senior Radiation Safety Monitor Louis Henry. The Department began its waste handling service in 1976 to accommodate the growing volume of low-level radioactive waste. Many Chemistry and Biology labs on campus generate these wastes. A waste burial site in Barnwell, South Carolina formerly handled all of UB’s radioactive wastes. But last spring the Barnwell site stopped receiving liquid wastes, forcing UB to Send its low-level “nuclear cocktails” to Hanford. Barnwell continues to accept UB’s regular dry waste shipments, but South Carolina Governor Dick Riley announced that the site will not absorb deliveries targeted for Hanford. Earlier this month, the Radiation Protection Department informed researchers that campus waste storage and delivery service “could be terminated” because of the Hanford closing. Radiation Protection Mangager Mark Pierro estimated, the capacity at Howe Research Laborataory—the sole campus site for receiving radioactive wastes—to be 300 barrels. This capacity could be reached in about another six weeks, he said. Pierro speculated that a delivery to Barnwell could increase the storage capacity to 3 months. “Something could break by then at Hanford,” he suggested. Pierro explained that since all researchers nationwide face a similar storage dilema a solution must be found. “There is just not enough to encourage a feeling of rapport with the community. The community still views the University as an antagonist,”he charged, alluding to what he claimed is the University’s poor community service record. Rapport with students, Finn claimed, is also lacking. Shuffling through the GSA records would show “a long list of requests denied or never really considered,” she said. While the GSA has repeatedly pleaded for increased participation in UB decision-making, Finn noted, “Ketter says he is sympathetic, but maintains he has no authority to suggest or mandate it. Now he refuses to speak on it.” Dissatisfied with the choppy debate, senators called for a review of UB’s master plans which outline the University’s future to see, “if Ketter has lived up to his objectives.” The* GSA evaluation committee is comprised of six Senators working in conjunction with the association’s Executive Committee. GSA gave Kettcr a vote of “no confidence” in Spring, 1978. considering reopening the West Valley waste storage site in Western New York to alleviate the shortage and avoid potentially hazardous long range hauling of the wastes. Last August the UB Nuclear Safely Committee killed,.a plan to use an unoccupied room in Abbott Annex for storing wastes “because of intense community concern.” The committee found no apparent hazards in the plan, but bowed to pressure from campus groups and local politicians who feared the site would be unsafe. Until the Hanford and Beatty sites are re-opened, the research world anxiously awaits a solution. NRC Public Affairs Director Clare Miles acknowledged the siteshutdowns are “going to cause a problem,” but could not speculate on the nationwide impact. “We’re trying to cooperate with the states,” she told The Spectrum explaining that NRC will meet with the appropriate Governors to discuss re-opening the facilities. Miles admitted that the Governor Ray’s criticisms —improper packaging and delivery—may have occurred for some time. government has been Researchers concerned UB Biochemistry Professor Alexander Brownie echoed the sentiments of researchers who could be forced to forfeit current and future research grants. “All of us have to be concerned with the possibility that research will stop,”he said. Brownie explained that the biochemistry field draws million of dollars to UB for research in medicine, pharmocology, and molecular biology.

The decision made by College President Virginia Radley, permitting security officers to be armed between 11 p.m. and 7 a.m. brought out over 400 protesting Oswego students at the campus center on September 9. “Not only are we opposed to having an armed security force,” Oswego student government Public Relations Director Hugo Guzmin said. “We are opposed to President Radley making such critical decisions wjthout even consulting the Student Government.” One reason for arming security, according to the administration, is to reduce rape and sexual harrassment. Director of Public Safety Ronald Guile said another reason was “the frequency of serious incidents over the past academic year involving dangerous instruments.” However, Student Association of the State University (SASU) organizing Director Bruce Cronin, who visited Oswego to help coordinate the student demonstration, said “Oswego security will be among the most dangerous in the State; their guns use hollow nose bullets, which can blow an arm off.” He added, “The director of security’s attitude was revealed when he said the purpose of guns was to shoot to kill.” Here at UB, the Department of Public Safety has expressed the need to carry fire arms since 1978 according to Director Lee Griffin. But a referendum in the Spring of that year showed an overwhelming lack of student support. Griffin expressed some doubt as to the legality of that vote explaining, “I think the ballots * • ... ' * educational-studies head The problem with UB’s undergraduate education is a lack of interaction between students and professors, according to Director of Undergraduate Educational Studies and Associate professor in the Department of Higher Education J. Bruce Francis. The Division of Undergraduate Educational Studies was established this Fall in an effort to spur increased involvement with undergraduates in the Faculty. Formerly, main emphasis was on graduate studies. Francis said direct contact with instructors is of key importance. “When personal interaction takes place, it’s beneficial to both students and faculty,” he maintained. Francis came to this University in 1970 after receiving his PhD in Education and Psychology from the University of Michigan. He served as associate director of the UB Survey Center from 1971 to 1973 and directed the University-wide Analysis of Courses and Teaching Project in 1974. Francis also serves as a member of the UB General Education Committee and Chairman of the Faculty Subcommittee on Teaching Quality. As Director of Undergraduate Educational Studies, Francis is responsible for the University Learning Center which provides remedial work for students not competent in basic mathematical and Writing skills. He will also oversee the Office of Teacher Education. The administrator related problems facing the Faculty to dollar concerns. “Money for new programs is tight,” he said, adding that an effort toward increasing enrollments is targeted at confronting budget cuts. 'Tm a realist; budgets depend on enrollments,” he explained. were stuffed. It was a very political issue,and the facts were not put before the students fairly.” He added. If the campus community is negative towards the idea then Ketter will be too. Public safety men must have a two-year minimum of college courses in police- science as well as pass an enforcement exam and a physical fitness and agility test before they can enter University security officer ranks. with regard to current attitudes toward arming security, Griffin said „ e jssue <<has a, been a vo, atile i. one Pe °Ple want firearms for thea Protection against the unknown. I have been historically in support of arming campus security and I still _ • , ' am.” , fits veto OLD FASHIONED Francis was confident, however, that past enrollment declines in some University departments would pick up with the General Education plan. When it goes into effect, the program will require students to take courses in the Humanities, the Social Sciences and Education. “It is a fact that this institution is vocationally oriented,” he said, asserting that general education will make UB academically well-rounded in a non-disruptive manner. Recognizing that teaching jobs are scarce, Francis is exploring other careers available through teachaing degrees. Considerations include hiring out degreed students to teach the art of instruction and employing people with backgrounds in teacher education in learning centers across the country. The new director is serving on a Faculty Senate sub-committee with three other professors to design a questionnaire for the evaluation of UB President Robert L. Ketter. ■. According to Francis, other questionnaires have focused “too much on personality.” He said, “I don’t see the President as all that critical in what happens in a University. If anyone will improve it, it will be the faculty and the students working together.” Basically, maintained Francis, “We must diversify the way we treat people. A 16-week semester, teaching classes in a traditional lecture—that is not the best possible way for everyone. Academic and conceptual rigor increases the diversity. We know the right way to teach, so we have to keep exploring.” —Carolyn Taddeo (jU Cleve. Hill Drug Co. Inc.

One woman asked Griffin why UB was not includedi in his description of Buffalo’s assets, evoking applause from the generally passive crowd. “I should have included it,” he said. Griffin did, however, comment on University President Robert L. Ketter, terming him a “great university President.” He lent his unqualified support to the President, saying that he believed Ketter had built up UB’s standing in the Western New York community. “UB should be more involved with the community,” he said. Griffin, a former tavern owner, detailed some of his views of the Univeristy, echoing statements made to The Spectrum in May. Only students from the Western New York area should be admitted to UB, Griffin maintained. He also stressed the need for students to work while attending school, to “keep out of trouble.” BUFFALO loves TWILIGHT DINING. Theater ‘a mesa’ The city has had a 14 percent decrease in crime, the Mayor noted, which betters the national average of a two percent decrease. He attributed this improvement to Buffalo Police Commissioner James Cunningham, the “best Police Commissioner in the Univesity Presbyterian .CHURCH ” . Women’s caucus ■ Griffing launched into the achievements of his administration, rattling off a list of new,, planned and completed projects. He focused on the waterfront district development, terming it, “the apple of my eye.” This week alone, he announced, seven developers-have come into his office with plans for condominiums, townshouses, restaurants and stores to build up Buffalo’s long dormant waterfront. Several companies have already made firm commitments to settle in the area, he said. "■You’re gonna see development,” Griffing stressed. He pointed to the $425 million Rapid Transit System—due to be completed in 1983 or 1984—as providing the spark for a blazing resurgence of downtown Buffalo. The Mayor then swung over the sports world, taking credit for the return of professional baseball to Buffalo in the form of the Bisons, an Eastern League team. He noted the effects of the team on the city, pointing to revenue generated by concessions and hotel accomodations, as “great.” But the approximately 25 students who The Student Association of the State University (SASU) will hold its second annual Women’s Caucus Conference on the weekend of November 2-4 at SUC at Oneonta.

He pointed to the blossoming theater district as an example of cultural growth. Griffin renewed his commitment to Shea’s Buffalo Theater—now $400,000 in debt and threatened with closure—by invoking childhood memories of Tommy Dorsey to emphasize his fondness for Shea’s. But UB’s Center for Research was labeled “a mess.” Griffin said he was accepting bids for a new facade for the decrepit facility, urging students “to play janitor for a day and help us out.” Griffin concluded his 4S-minutc speech to the politely attentive students with a IS-minute question and answer period. In a response to a 1 question, Griffin endorsed Frank McGuire for County Executive. The Mayor believes that the Democrat has already helped Buffalo, pointing to McGuire’s assistance in repairing potholes and on the waterfront area. He added, however, that the “city and the county [are] gonna win, as both men (Edward Rutkowski is McGuire’s opponent] are good.” A COMMUTER BREAKFAST Open To ALL Students, Faculty, & Staff FRIDAY, OCTOBER 26 from 8 am noon In The Fillmore Room of Squire Hall (MSC) • For just $4.95 a person, you can enjoy our nightly Price-Fixed Dining Specials.

On campus, where many view him as an inarticulate and reactionary anti-intellectual, Griffin has never been a favorite of students. Elected Mayor on the Conservative ticket (his own Democratic party didn’t want him) t he defeated State Assemblyman Arthur O. Eve who received much more campus support. But as far as The Spectrum is concerned, Griffin Is well on his way to making amends with the University: In his Wednesday night address to two dozen students in the Fillmore Room, he termed University President Robert L. Ketter “great,” and heartily endorsed the man’s quest to retain his post. The Spectrum has maintained that Ketter’s tenure should be carefully analyzed before jumping to conclusions. Griffin has failed to do this. No amount of editorializing, no amount of campus protesting, no amount of political rain-dancing could have possibly injured Ketter more than an endorsement from an ill-informed Jimmy Griffin. Here is the kind of man who supports Ketter, hereafter to be known as the “Ketter-kind-of-guy.” What follows is a Griffin reader, quotes mostly taken from an interview with then-Feature Editor Robert G. Basil ran with the Mayor last Spring: On students; “Most of the problems [at UB] are caused by students outside the city of Buffalo.” i “The best thing [for all students] to do is to go out in private industry and make a buck. Then you realize what it means to be a taxpayer;" At 4:00 p.m. in Haas Lounge, University President, Robert L. Ketter, will address the student body. Dr. Ketter will tell us about the State of our University as we head into a new decade. However, it will not be until after the President speaks that we have our greatest responsibility. At that time we must ask hard, pointed insightful questions of this University’s leader. Dr. Ketter has remained as Presdient because he has been able to answer questions and respond to criticism from individuals both on this campus and in the community. Today is our opportunity to see if the President can effectively respond to our needs. The President must tell us what is being done to improve the quality of life at UB. He should address himself not only to the long term visions of a field-house and centralized studbnt activity space on Amherst but what is presently being done Dr. Ketter must tell us if our University will ever be completed. Hemust tell us how this University will respond to declining enrollment and what effect budget cuts will have on our education. The President must tell us about the academic future of this University. The President must tell us what Academic Plans and General Education mean to our academic careers. The President must explain why there is no comprehensive device for teaching evaluations. These represent just a few of the areas which directly affect us as students. Today we must have the President examine these issues and other ones. A leader is accountable to those he serves. The University serves us, the students, so come to Haas Lounge at 4:00 p.m. and make President Ketter be accountable to our needs! Joel D. Mayersohn, President Student Association , On student activism “I don’t think you see [student] activism once a t)oy or girl becomes a man or woman and has to earn their [sic] daily bread.” “I think student activism is the worst way of making changes On Viet Nam; I call them immature children “I felt that if the activists these so-called educated people ... had used a different approach [during the anti-war years at the turn of the decade] we might have seen an earlier end to the Viet Nam war.” On manners and clothes: “I think that some of the workers down on the waterfront show more manners than you University people do. Some dress better, too.” On SA and GSA votes of “no-confidence” of Ketter two years ago: "Well, the students have been wrong before. They’re probably wrong again." It’s apparent to us that Griffin does not view the student body as filled with Ketter-kind-of-guys. As a matter of fact, it would seem that Griffin wishes all of the students here, especially downstaters, would just quit school, like he did, and get a job in “the real adult world." And although Griffin swiftly damns students’ efforts to change the structure of this (gag) “real world” and its governmental system, the man readily expresses his beliefs concerning how our student government should be changed. For example, he believes that the Mandatory Student Activity Fee, which supports either partially or completely' the majority of activities on campus, should be abolished. In Griffin’s address Wednesday, until a woman from the audience questioned him, he virtually ignored the University as one of the city’s assets. So, in a certain way, Ketter is a lot like our Mayor: our President virtually ignores students as one of the University’s assets. ” The Spectrum Vot. 30, No. 30 Friday, 26 October 1979 Managing Editor Joyce Howe Kathleen McDonough Art Diractor Campus Feature Assistant Robert G Basil Tom Buchanan Photo Assistant vacant Garry Preneta Dennis R.

I prefer the Chairman of the Department to respond to whatever endangers the reputation of the Department but some matters touch me I shall confine myself to them. The first of them is almost a quibble but, as with the second, there is a possible implication that my students have been exposed to an incompetent. That is serious. It is no secret that regard the range of teaching have been engaged in—interdisciplinary treatments of Africa, AfroAmerica and the Caribbean—as extraordinary and excessively demanding and I have made it clear that want to withdraw from the first. It was I to that end that I persuaded the Chairman to seek to recruit an African historian. This circumstance has apparently led to the belief that was "trained in the area of Caribbean Studies not African." Let me throw some light on this matter My graduate training was in Political Theory and Development Politics-the latter meaning African Politics almost exclusively. have never done any supervised study, even at high school on either Afro-America or the Caribbean—for the personally and immediately and I I I I good reason that no course was available. (The penultimate paragraph suggests that some faculty on the campus think that this is a condition we should return to.) Despite this handicap, I chose to do a dissertation which required great knowledge of both the Caribbean and Atro-America—because I was interested. I remain interested and nearly all my work has had to do with these two regions oribsif linkages. I remain interested in Africa, too, of course but it would be idle to pretend that I can work effectively on all three fronts. The Dean is quoted as saying that “based on academic merit, I could not give my support to Henry.” Without descending into detail, would have been much happier, as the Dean himself could tell you, if the quoted statement ran instead “based on an unfortunate procedually• do distorted view of Henry's academic merit. in difficulty not think I had much demonstrating—within perhaps one minute, or at most two, of i&arning of the Personnel Committee’s reflections —that the Committee s assumptions were mistaken.

Henry Ph.D. �% • 4 r ---------- TEAR this out and take it with you Tl * I University President Robert L Ketter will speak today at 4 p.m. in Squire Hall’s Haas Lounge Here is a list of a few questions that you may want to ask the President: . I I ’ - • | Pertaining to Students: I I 1. One of the main issues facing this University is the student attrition. Two administrative reports—Peter Wittemann’s in Admissions and Records and Richard Siggelkow’s in Student Affairs—point to poor teaching, ineffective instruction, foreign speaking insructors, and other teaching-relating problems as primary causes for students leaving UB. What incentive has your administration created for good teaching, in terms of tenure and promotion? Why is the publish or perish syndrome afflicting UB? I! I I I I 2. Ketter says he is concerned with improving and evaluating teaching, and to this end will probably note Vice President Bunn’s recent $5000 commitment for SCATE—a student course and teacher evaluation book. But Bunn has told student government officials that he does not believe the University should pay for SCATE. Do you agree? If not, then why doesn’t the University Admnistration cover the full costs of SCATE? 3. As Ketter knows, departmental governance virtually excludes undergraduates because there is no standardized mechanism for student input in departments. Why hasn’t one been implemented? 4. Last year, a plan to deprive Resident Advisors (RA) of their roommate-free status this Fall was delayed—to be implemented next Fall. Has this plan been scrapped? If so, are there enough beds in the dorms? How many departments still occupy dorm space? If not, has a committee that includes students been formed to evaluate other housing alternatives beyond the RA plan? 5. Ketter, in his Statement of Stewardship, noted, “The channels of communication to and from the president are open- and that the business of the University is conducted openly and frankly.” Why, then, do students—not to mention faculty—feel disenfranchised, alienated, and ignored by the Ketter Administration? Pertaining to his Administration: 1. In his Statement of Stewardship, Ketter noted that this University’s administration has undergone great change since he has been here. Many believe that this University has suffered because we have had five Vice Presidents for Academic Affairs in the last decade. Why has this key post been vacated so many times? Why is Vice President for Academic Affairs Ronald Bunn on a plane, virtually every other week, looking for another job? 2. Many claim the Ketter Administration is unstable, specifically resulting from Bunn’s and Pannill’s attempt to reorganize authority for undergrad Health Sciences last year—which placed DUE Dean Peradotto in a tenuous position. Ketter cjaims to have reached an equitable solution. Dr. Peradotto has recommended halting Phase* Two of Springer Implementation. Many suggest Bunn and Pannill oppose this new freeze. Is that true? If so, how will the "conflict be resolved? Whose input carries more weight, Peradotto’s or Bunn’s and Pannill’s? Last year, Charles Fogel filled in as Acting Dean of the Graduate School—a position that necessitates scholarly research experience. Mr. Fogel does not have a doctoral degree. Isn’t this unusual for a high quality academic University center to employ a Grad School Dean without a research background? 3, 4. The President has noted that the VP for Research will be increasingly important and there is now a search to fill the position with a permanent person. Robert Fitzpatrick has held an Acting title in that post for at least five years. Why? 5. In his Statement of Stewardship, Ketter notes the importance of the VP for Research but also states, “Ultimately, however, the progress we make in research depends almost exclusively upon the initiative and industry of individual faculty members.” Can you [Ketter] explain or justify this apparent contradition? In general: 1. What do you believe, specifically, you—Robert Ketter—have done that makes you better for this University than new leadership? - Have you had any second thoughts about continuing in your present post? New presidential evaluation procedures eliminate the campus-based constituency committee that would have evaluated the President. What do you think of the new guidelines, particularly the clauses that preclude opinion polls and surveys? 3. 4. The University’s Affirmative Action program is ineffective at best, failing at worst. Now that Jesse Nash has resigned, when will you commission a search to fill the post? Are you teaching this semester? If so, is anyone picking up your classes when you cannot make it? During the last two weeks, have you been on vacation? 5. SB SB IB BB SB ■ ■at �I £ W _ feedback Too far To the Editor: Communication—in English To the Editor. CD There is a definite communication gap at this university. As a matter of fact there are plenty of them but the one that I’m referring to is the one caused by professors and teaching assistants who speak poor, little or no English. Most lower level courses are large lectures. Due to the size of these classes it is difficult if not impossible for students to ask questions. This is unfortunate because students always have questions in courses like Math, Science and Economics. The University recognizes this problem and sets up recitations where students can meet with teacher assistants to ask questions and iron out problems. Recitations are smaller than the lectures but are still top large to be truly effective. The big problem especially in Math and Science courses is that most of the teaching assistants are foreigners and speak poor English. My roommate is having difficulty with Physics. Her recitation class is of no help. The instructor is Chinese and his English leaves much to be desired. If she or any of her classmates ask a question they have a hard time understanding the answer. People often ask the T.A. to repeat his reply a number of times. This is both annoying and embarrassing to everyone concerned. Most students feel that these recitations are a waste of time and they don’tattend them. I rarely went to my Calculus recitation but depended heavily on the College of Mathematical Sciences which provides free tutoring. Many foreign students accept these teaching positions as a form of financial aid. I feel this is a waste of my money and the New York State taxpayer’s money. We students can’t learn in this situation. Foreign faculty also cause problems. Lectures are hard to follow through heavy accents. Sometimes it is harder to understand the instructor’s English than it is to understand the subject matter. A current professor of mine gives his lectures in one sentence. One fifty minute sentence. He reads directly from his notes and rarely looks up into the two hundred pairs of bored bewildered eyes trying to keep up with him. We are also very far behind the other classes taught by different professors. Chances are this will hurt me when I go on to the upper level courses. Handouts and tests can also be difficult to comprehend. The university says students can’t read or write English anymore. It very well might be more beneficial for Engineering students to know Chinese or an Indian dialect. It is true that these professors are intelligent and have much to offer their students but unless professors can be understood the students gain nothing. They only lose. If a teacher is interesting (which includes easily understood) a student has the desire to learn. This benefits the student, the teacher and the university. The administrators might disagree with me when I sight this as a major U.B. problem but we students know that it exists its a problem and its not fair. In a recent article, the Reporter stated that difficulty with foreign instructors is a major cause of the high attrition rate here. Is Dr. Ketter aware of this? Does he care? I know students that have changed majors because of this problem. Is that fair? If the administration would talk to the students they could see that their “internationally recognized” educators are not educating the way they should be. That exchange of conversation is improbable because that might solve another communication gap—the huge one between administration and student. Jane Steinberg No credit . To the Editor: K'.imf I am writing because I get sick everytime I pick up The Spectrum , and read about Saturdays UB football game, and read about how great the offense played when they win and how it was the defense's fault when they lose. Well I’d like to say “Bull” because every person who goes to the games knows it was the other way around. If the Bulls had any kind of offense, they would be 6-0. Week after week we fans watch a defense, which any other team the Bulls have played would love to have, play their hearts out only to have the no show offense take over with good field and position blow the game. I don’t know how the defense does it: play all game only with 30 seconds rest (That’s when the no show offense has the ball). Saturday was no different. The defense play great shuting down the potent offense of Albany for the better part of the game. The defense created beautiful opportunities for the offense to score. Ttie Bulls offense did not let us down. They played Hke a sandlot group of 10 yr olds and blew the game. The opportunities created by the defense, which we will no doubt read nothing about, would have been enough for any high school team to score and win the game. I don’t know what the offense does at practice but it is evident they must set one day aside to practice stupid mistakes like fumbles; penalties, interceptions *and playing people who don’t deserve to play. Soplease Mr. Editor would you give more room in your article to the defense who play their hearts out week after week because reading about the offense is “Bull." Name withheld upon request clarification Dioxin , To the Editor In regard to the article, “Herbicide Agent Orange takes toll on Vietman vets" by Dan Holder, I would like to point out some important inaccuracies and add some pertinent remarks. Apparently, the Buffalo Poison Control Center interpreted “dioxin” to be the common industrial chemical dioxane (1,4 diethylene dioxide), which possesses the characteristics noted in the article according to the Merck Index. The "dioxin” of concern here is actually a shortened form for the chemical 2,3,7,8 tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD), which is primarily formed as an impurity during the production of trichlorophenol, a precursor to 2,4,5-T, rather than during the degradation of 2,4,5-T. TCDD is far more toxic than dioxane, so much so that New York State Health Commissioner Dr. Daniel Axelrod has characterized it as “the most toxic substance ever synthesized by man.” Studies done at the University of Wisconsin by James Allen on Rhesus monkeys have shown that toxic effects, primarily in the form of an increased incidence of reporductive failure, are seen at dietary levels as low as 25 parts per trillion. Surely the concern for TCDD by Ton Thai Tung and others mentioned in the article is well founded, especially in light of TCDD’s minimal biodegradability and its cumulative nature in the fatly tissues of may organisms including that of man. Paul Laub ACRJ’s scapegoat To the Editor. It is" intuitively obvious that the Ad Hoc Committee for Responsible Journalism (ACRJ) is determine to blame chemical engineers for Love Canal. If the ACRJ is so skeptical of motives, why then does their skepticism only extend to chemical engineers. Why doesn’t the ACRJ blame management majors, after all it is they who will become the corporate executives. Perhaps we should blame the accountants. If only they had fudged the figures, as is their sacred duty to, chemical dumping would appear to be less economical than other forms of waste treatment. The truth of the matter is, all corporate decisions are made by secretaries. Secretaries secretly run the world from their desks. The solution, therefore lies in the destruction of the secretarial machine by a massive change to manuel typewriters causing the corporations to fall into anarchy (corporate analog of entrophy). The other alternative, preferred by the ACRJ, is to exterminate all chemical engineers by locking them in an organic chemistry lab while a premed refluxes thiophene. If in the future the ACRJ wishes to find a scapegoat perhaps they should consider all the parameters. Scatchard Hildebrand IVifaVI/.V.'.V.V.'.Vt'W’aVWVVaMlMM I am writing to comment on The Spectrum's editorial of Friday October 12 regarding the recognition of the U.B Rights of Conscience Group. The Spectrum, while agreeing that the Group should be recognized, criticized It for asking the administration to intervene— with the likelihood of legal action if it did not— to allow it to exercise its right to use the University faciltities after the GSA refused to grant it recognition. The'Spectrum said that instead of turning to the administration after the GSA’s action, we should have gone to the SA Senate or wanted until new recognition procedures were hammered out by the student-administration committee now meeting on this question. These avenues were not reasonable possibilities. First, because of the heavy graduate student membership of our group at the present we have a right to receive recognition from the GSA. The fact that we have so many graduate student members would have been an argument used against us in the SA. Second, it is uncertain when the committee’s work will be done and there was no word at the time about when the SA Senate would be meeting or, if it were meeting, whether it would take action on our request right away. !f the Group would have waited, there would have been a substantial delay which would have seriously damaged its efforts to oppose the mandatory payment for abortion coverage in the U.B. student health insurance. Besides, why should a group made up of U.B. students have to wait an unspecified amount of time until our student leaders decide that it is “alright” for us to exercise our rights of freedom of speech and assembly? Further, the Group realized that it would be difficult getting recognition from the SA because of the opposition of SA President Joel Mayersohn. Mayersohn said last summer that he does not want the SA to give the Rights of Conscience Group a “soapbox to push its issues.” Mayersohn’s support for the mandatory payment is well known and he seems to have had a strong dislike for our Group since we publicly criticized him last spring for his refusal to appoint pro-optional payment students to Sub Board I. This, despite the fact that the survey of the President’s Health Insurance Advisory Committee established that over 80 percent of U.B. students opposed the mandatory payment. It seems that Mayersohn floes not believe in permitting groups and student who disagree with him and who dare to criticize him to exercise their First Amendment rights. The Spectrum’s suggestion that we could have sought access by going to the Squire House Council was also not a realistic alternative. We were told that the only unrecognized groups that can use Squire facilities are casual study groups. We are not a casual study group and cannot operate under such a guise.The SA temporary recognition process was also unacceptable. We had problems when we tried that last semester. Besides, temporary recognition lasts only 8 weeks, without any way of knowing if our permanent recognition request would be resolved in the meantime. This would leave our Group in a very uncertain position. Why should we have to assume the burden and suffer the delay of running to several different governing bodies on campus to receive something which we have a right to? The Spectrum's opposed the administration’s action in registering our Group—not recognizing it— on the grounds that it “undermined student power.” I believe that The Spectrum here carries its anti-administration attitude to an unfair extreme. Dr. Lorenzetti, Associate V.P. for Students affairs, meticulously guarded student decision-making prerogatives by consulting with and discussing his decision to register us with the above mentioned student-administration comittee before he acted. Finally, I must ask these questions; Should “student power” take precedence over First Amendment rights? Where is the “student power” for those students who are being suppressed by other students? Should “student power" be for all the students or only for a small elite of student government leaders whose actions the great majority of U.B. students have little control over? Stephen Krason President U.B. Bights of Conscience Group note: The editorial staled, “The intervention not only sets a dangerous precedent ibecause of administrative involvement) but it undermines student power.” That is not to say that the specific decision “undermined student power." Rather it points out that student power is jeopardized when a student group turns to the Administration to solve its problems. Editor's �feedback Thoughtful report To the Editor: I would like to thank Elena Cacavas for her well balanced summary of the frustations as well as great expectations of the American Studies Programs, published in your October 19, 1979 issue. May I add a footnote to her comprehensive and thoughtful report? What American Studies Program, Native American Studies, Puerto-Rican Studies, Women Studies, are equipped to do, eager to do, and are already doing in a limited way, is to contribute to make a different university education more appealing and more accessible to minority, working class and non-traditionat students. To those potential students who are scared by the language and turned-off by the elitist exclusive university, Meyersoh style, and the competitive, cold, career oriented instituitions of today, we would like to say, come to us, we will listen to you, we, in American Studies, understand and speak, practically as well as metaphorically, more, then one language. There is a strong '“latino” component on our faculty, a native American presence as well as a dynamic women element. We will help you to become more aware and to articulate more forcefully your own culture and philosophy. We believe that a successful university education should include, beyond a (earing experience, cultural' and personal fulfillment. Everybody is able to learn and actually accumulate-a tremendous amount of knowledge over the years. The specialized types of learning taking place at the university require perhaps a bit more selectivity, patience and perserverance, but certainly not unusual mental capabilities. What is really difficult and demands much dedication and talent, is to remain sensitive and loving in an unfeeling and unloving world, preserve self-esteem and nourish one’s creative imagination In American Studies we work at breaking down the stultifying authoritarian, hierarchical patterns of the academic institution. We refuse the dichotomy between feeling and thinking as well as between faculty and students. We need the help and support of all those who, like us, are convinced that the culture of the dominant classes is but a small part of the cultural and scientific potential of our age. Given the proper environment and appropriate tools of expression, all those of us who are not of the "right” class, race and idealogical persuasion, could unleash a cultural explosion of infinite creative value, capable of releasing a tremendous amount of energy capable of renewing our sense of purpose in a much more significant way than the elusive individualistic search for success. Pierre Aubery Acting Director American Studies Eulogy for grad student To the Editor: Hal Charles Foss, born on April 10, 1951 ir> Akron, Ohio and a graduate student in cultural anthropology at SUNY Buffalo, was killed Sunday, October 21, in an automobile accident near Albion in Orleans County. Hal received his bachelor’s degree in Geology from the University of Wyoming in 1973 and completed two years of graduate work in Anthropology there before entering the graduate program at SUNY Buffalo in September of 1975. He received his master’s degree in Anthropology in the Spring of 1977 and advanced to Ph.D. candidacy in May of 1978. Hal was a teaching assistant in the Department of Anthropology for four years and taught courses in Millard Fillmore College including Introductory Anthropology and World Wide Social Problems. Hal was intensely interested in problems of ethnicity and cultural ecology, and had a general interest in evolutionary theory. He was designing a dissertation proposal on the Ukranian community in Western New York. Hal Foss was a sensitive, hardworking individual with compassion for others and a profound appreciation for art, music and the beauty of life. Those who kngw him were impressed by his calm dignity and his quiet sense of humor. He will be missed by all. The Department of Anthropology �o YOU’VE GOT TO SEE IT TO BELIEVE IT!

In the West, various artists took his advice to heart, but it wasn't until early this century when constructivism reared its euclidean head that simple geometry as conscious aesthetic became an obsession. Wassily Kandisky, a Russian painter, is credited with opening the door in 1910 to the "objectivism" of art, the pursuit of "pure" and ■"absolute" art with a water color without any figure or objective item as the source of its inspiration From there it was only a matter of time before bathtubs lost their lion-paw legs and chairs their ornate decoration. In short, life was ready to imitate art, geometry pure and simple was to be the flagship for the brave new world. The clean lines we see in consumer goods and modern architecture has its roots in the current exhibition at the Albright Knox Art Gallery called "Constructivism and the Geometric Tradition: Selections from the McCrory Corporation Collection." The artists included in this exhibit are a mix of European and American masters Josef Albers, Naum Cabo, Donald Judd, Laszlo Moholy-Nagy, Piet Mondrian and Max Bill among many others. Spanning about 70 years of exploration done with form and cpjor for its own sake, constructivism was midwifed by Cubism and Futurism These aesthetics all hoped to pose the question, "Whose reality is this anyway? Constructivism choose-to-explore this question through — -- two methods The first, inspired by abstraction, took a scene and America seized the initiative of the art world and took the Baskin-Robbins approach —a flavor to suit every taste recognized as objective reality. The other method choosestqznake visible ideas originating within the artist's imagination. Coined "concretion" by the Dutch painter, Theo van Doesburg, it became the driving force behind the de Stijil movement. Constructivism sprouted regional versions throughout Europe as artists picked up on the basic philosophy and modified it to suit their Zeitgeist. For example, in Russia, Suprematism sprouted Malevich working around 1915 said, "Suprematism compresses all painting into a black Handmaiden to reality Lately, in America, in addition to exploration done of primary forms, there has developed an art referred to as "Art as Art" and "Art about Art a "silent art" that concerns itself with small irregularities in line and color, such as the exhibits Distorted Circle within a polygon by Robert Mangold of North Tonawanda. Constructivism has birthed many progenies Viewing the show brings to mind that the tendency to cerebralize art is already far advanced and perhaps that is why constructivism viewed alone can seem inaccessible Art that has already undergone a rigorous cerebralization means that insights a viewer can gain tend to be subtle translated it into basic forms until it no longer could be on a white canvas." When constructivism went international (around the it was seen as nothing less than the banner under which in the brave new world of social utopism would be ushered. As Willy Rotzler speaks of the period in extensive catalog accompaning the show, "Art was to emerge from its isolation, and the cleavage between art and life was to be bridged in architecture and town planning as in industrial design, typography and photography, in the embellishment and humanization of the environment, in theater and film, but first of all in art itself." World War K came despite the best efforts on the part of Constructivist artists to pioneer a better society The world had to be reconstructed and from constructivism rose experiments. from.Ahslract.expressionism toOrxArt. square " ones. They come from axhift in mental gears The works themselves are subtle and have a strong sense of experimentation about them In the experimentation any result is useful because that is the purpose of experiments —they are not there to be a handmaiden to our reality. Rotzler said it best when he referred to constructivism as not referring "back to an objective world, an outer reality Instead, its own reality, its own autonomy was absolute And it all begins with the circle, square and equilateral triangle, the sphere, cube, pyramid ; cone jndxyLiodet — ...... �i Streamers' a hit o.

Croups like Earth, Wind Fire, Funkadelics, and the Commodores do, indeed, draw well on the road, but they're considered more a part of the soul family than disco (not to say that they won't be heard in a discotheque). Record sales account for the majority of the disco trade, and profits in this area are, phenomenal. Dollars flowing into companies like Casablanca and Motown have partially helped the sagging record industry from dropping out of sight. Check out the disco section of a record store sometime. You won't see many albums (that's why there aren't too many disco records on the top IP charts), or even 45's. A new breed of records, 12 inch 33-1/3 singles are the "in" thing, and maybe the $3.98 price per single gives som6 indication of why these disco companies clean up. Racial connotations associated with disco are interesting Alas, ail of the groups are black (as with soul and funk), the largest discotheques cater mainly to a segregated whie crowd.

Chick Corea — For the first time in a long while, turntables are being warmed with the grooves of jazz records. Both old classics and more importantly the new jazz sounds are a major part of the current musical trend The evidence is equally revealing in the live music scenes on both national and local levels. Buffalo is no exception Jazz first emerged in the early 20's mostly through the effort of black musicians working out of New Orleans. In the following years the territory toughed by this forming' institution widened as the duets and trios became groups By the 40's, these bands (some near orchestra proportions), were branching outward to create the tone of the times —the big band sound. Moving forward, Jazz be-bopped its way through the '50's riding on a crest of popularity and slinking into a wonderful climax in the '60's before it crashed head on with the heavy metal sounds of the same decade It's not that in the past 10 years jazz has disappeared Rather, it is like Al Monti, horn player for Loosely Tight, explains: "From 1940 'til 1960 it was good, but then the interest in jazz dropped of. . The key here is "interest" for jazz. The interest in jazz in Buffalo has always been solid; it's just that its fall in popularity has made the "search" for it Corea/ Burton duets Spyro Gyra: a dime a minute somewhat more difficult But Al did finish by saying: "... Now it (the interest) is coming back with the 70 fusion" and with it a whole new set of expectations for the coming decade Be-Bop til you drop There's no better way to grasp on to the jazz scene—its movement and meaning —than to mingle with those who create it Several groups are developing into established focal points on the Buffalo jazz scene but clearly the most upcoming, dynamic and solid jazz group in Buffalo today is "Loosely Tight." Billed as a "jazz-fusion septet," the group is the only regularly featured band at the Tralf (a place synonymous with the word "jazz" in Buffalo). The band —Joe Brancato keyboards; Anthony Genovese, guitar; Dave Genovese, guitar; Kevin Lyons, percussion; Al Monti, reeds; Tom Reinhart, bass, and Jim Zeams, drums —performs aJI original material. Immediately, Spyro Cyra comparisons seem to be forthcoming; however, I will avoid that already-too-worn path, for this band (performing for less than one year) needs no comparison to merit acclaim In fact as soon as Jeremy Wall (producer for Spyro Cyra) returns from NYC, the group will be involved in recording at the Mark Custom studios And it seems an injustice that they have only one standard evening to play a week. However, the band is/optimistie about their participation in the surging new interest in jazz. Lead guitarist Tony Genovese, whose influences include George Benson, Al DiMeola and Jimmy Page explained: "The interest in jazz is widening 'cause (they're) bringing more into it. . . it's a result of the jazz-rock fusion movement." Both he and keyboard player Joe Broncato agreed that "younger people were scared off by jazz" —the old purer be-bop type Chick Corea and Gary Burton, Buff State Gym, October 20, 1979 The jazz concert of the year took place Saturday night, and Buffalo State was lucky enough to sponsor it. Chick Corea, long known as one of the finest pianists in the jazz world, teamed up with Cary Burton, the only vibist skilled enough to accompany him They've done it before, on two recording?, but their touring as a duo has been limited Indeed, Buff State's new gym was extremely fortunate to host one of the shows from their all-too-limited present U S tour A gymnasium usually is not a good acoustic setting for a concert of any kind (especially acoustic jazz), but the sound crew did an exceptional job in attaining the proper fidelity Chick and Cary took the stage at about 8:10, and for approximately two hours (not including a break), the audience was treated to the most beautiful jazz the genre has to offer Chick Corea's recent Return to Forever endeavors have produced some truly fine fusion jazz, but his recent return to acoustic piano exemplifies his unparalleled talents His recent solo album, Delphi, contains some remarkable piano, and his last tour with Herbie Hancock won his mainstream jazz critics back (from a partly thumbs down appraisal of the RTF concept) Duets, the second and newest collaboration with Cary Burton, rekindles the magic that was in evidence on Crystal Silence. The audience was exceptional—well-mannered and anxious They knew, as well as did, that jazz I history was in the making Chick and Cary ran through several selections from their two albums together, and the experience was nothing less startling Burton, with two mallets in each hand, hammered out soaring melodiei, while Chick, the perfect counterpart, played accompanying notes of beauty "Endless Trouble, Endless Pleasure" was a new tune with a latino beat, containing Chick's characteristic heel stomping Five short children's songs followed, capturing that innocent essence. "Senor Mouse," a piece written in 1972 (the first for their duets), brought part one of their show to aclose with applause of recognition A short, unannounced intermission .elicited an initial response of disapproval from the crowd, but when Cary Burton mounted the stage to fire out a vibraphone solo, this reviewer was completely awed Burton has had a string of albums out with various-musicians, but has never attained the selling success of Corea This says nothing for his musical ability, though, which is right on level with Chick's Growing revenue The cultivators of the jazz sc product as well as the develop!

To make criticism more difficult, Spyro Cyra is one Cafe Cafe owner Eddie Lawson purchased the present housing of the Tralf in a partnership with his brother in 1975. By summer, the once Dirty Dick's Bathhouse had been transformed into a reputable night club, saving only two toilet seats. "The Tralf was nothing before we purchased it It was primarily a motorcycle type hang out We had some idea on what our intentions were, but I didn't think it would progress this far," said Lawson Lawson took over full control of the Tralf two years ago "My reason for centering on jazz is because I like jazz. I try to be open to all forms, as long as it is played well But it should be played whether I like it or not, for the exposure," Lawson said "My preferences include Be-bop, contemporary, and more recently European jazz . ." he added But Lawson's love for jazz doesn't stop once he steps foot out of the door He found himself producing this year's Artpark Jazz Festival in Lewiston, N Y “At first I assisted producer Bill Hasset until he was appointed as State Commerce commissioner and had to drop his work So my total involvement came about two months before the fesitval began," he said. Planet waves In choosing a name for his establishment, Lawson pegged a classic. The name Tralfamadore possesses a certain oddity unique to the Cafe Tralfamadore is a planet from the Kurt Vonnegut novels, The Sirens of Titan and Slaughterhouse Five, where the inhabitants communicate non-verbally, much the way jazz musicians perform Could it have been the mysterious name that drew Gregg Allman to the Tralf in the Fa|l of was in Buffalo with ever popular wife Cher seeking guidance from their tharriage counselor.

He had a total command over the crowd and, for a change, quiet and silent passages weren't marred by vocal outbursts His piano was impeccable, attaining the purest form of the art. Cary Burton resumed his place on the stage, and the duo proceeded through "Crystal Silence" (as Chick said, their disco cut) and a Corea composition, "The Duet Suite I'm sure the duo knew that the audience wouldn't let them get away without an encore, and they responded with their most recognizable number, a beautiful rendition of “La Fiesta."

But "exists" is not thrives amt' "growing" is not flourishing. So even as .the interest in jazz increases, it is far from what it once Loo««ly Tight at tha Katharine Cornell Theater Local jazz outfit promotes originality I planetary music jams It appears unanimous that jazz is either changing or expanding, or both, and most of-the musicians see this as the major cause for the latest upswing in jazz awareness and appreciation. It seems, therefore, that jazz has been able to survive through the decades by finding its position in the times. But like keyboardist Tommy Schuman of Spyro Cyra said, "Back then jazz was IT; it was the times." Nevertheless, jazz is finding its place in the music world all over again. With the eighties approaching, it comes to us now in the form of "fusion." It is fair to say that those new recruits or patrons to the jazz scene are not there because they have suddenly developed a driving thirst for be-bop music, although this may later develop. It is more likely that a contemporary artist fusing rock or classical music with some jazz artistry will capture their attention and imagination This combination may have promoted the person to listen harder and look further for more of the same, more of that thing called "jazz" as it is fused with other styles But is this disenchanting to the jazz musician? To the purist? Is today's jazz merely a compromise with the classic forms of 25 years ago just for the sake of wider acceptance? No Stu Weismen of the James Clark group sees the advantages in both the past and present: "Everything's got to progress; the new jazz music is getting better but the old jazz was a good foundation." (The James Clark group, I might add, does some of the most experimental fusion work moving through disco songs like "Boogie Oogie," contemporary numbers like "You Are The Sunshine of My Life," and jazz-rock tunes by Robben Ford and Larry Carlton without ever leaving their foothold-feel of jazz.) Tom Reinhart of Loosely Tight, also views the progression favorably: "There's more different kinds and branches (of jazz) today think I music always gets better, improving and developing Tommy Schuman, who describes jazz is being in a state of "entropy," explains that, "Music started with basic blues but then spread in all directions from one minute to the next it's changing but definitely moving forward . . it's infinite." • And why is “today's" jazz so enticing to a new generation? Tony Genovese said it best: “It is a bridge between both (the old and the new)/' one which doesn't stop the.“current" but allows it to ebb and flow with the times as it moves by. of my favorite jazz-rock groups and has been for the past five years, and to complicate matters, they performed in the unmatched elegance of Shea's Buffalo Theater. But, since I've committed myself to the art of critique, I must judge the performance on its musical merit. Spyro Cyra, Buffalo's commercial jazz to fame, used to play gigs at the Tralfamadore Cafe and the now defunct Jack Daniels for the usual two Qot Live... if vjcu wnnf stage jamming with some friends. Cameron's display of violin skill was enough for "Allman to sign him up with The Gregg Allman Band.

The no nonsense approach to music allows serious musicians'!© perform in a comfortable, wellappreciated atmosphere And it also accounts for the fact that wellknown performers in town occasionally play the spectator role One of those serious musicians is the legendary Dexter Cordon. Lawson reflected that Gordon's first gig at the Tralf was for economic reasons. "When Dexter Cordon first came to the Tralf about three years ago, he was looking for work having just returned from Europe " Y'p to three dollars at the door Now they command six and seven and are privileged to play places like Shea's. The band members say that they usually return to Buffalo to less than capacity audiences, after packing them in on tour (they attribute it to memories of cheaper admissions at the local clubs) Well, Spyro Cyra has made it! If the opening night of their U/S. tour is any indication, their ;; v , . Calm The atmosphere known to the Tralf is enlightening to say the least The crowd is not rowdy by any means, instead they are a crowd that came to listen, enjoy, and find refuge against the hectic pace of other Buffalo night spots. "We haven't had a fight in four years," remarked the owner proudly. And bartender Joe Tynan added a very basic principle, "Jazz is something you listen to . . A young female listener boasting a black felt hat swayed eye level to the bass player as he tugged his instrument's callous strings On the opposite side of the Tralf, a middle-aged man sported long hair and a beatnik style beret He seemed content sipping his transparent glass of intoxification A suspected loved one rested at his side Their occasional glance-and-nod said it all downfall may arrive soon. The music was up to par, but the show's length was downright cheap I looked on Sunday night's show with great anticipation. The band was donating the profits to an extremely worthy cause —public radio station WBFO (BFO was one of the first to recognize and play cuts from Spyro while they were still in their infancy). They booked Shea's, and enough can't be said of the elegance and exceptional acoustics of this Buffalo landmark. The band was opening their tour here, and were apprearing in their hometown for the first time since their most recent album. Morning Dance. a «*• The band ran through a mix of old material taken from their two albums, and new songs slated for their next disc. Their current hit "Morning Dance" brought cheers of approval from the crowd. "Lovin You" showed off the tasty guitar of Chet Catillo who contributed excellent riffs throughout the set "Autumn of Our Love," a slow Jeremy Wall tune, brought the bittersweet saxophone of Jay Beckenstem into focus The choreographic antics of percussionist Gerardo Velez drew everyone's attention throughout the show, with his prancing and gyrating Then the show ended, and the previous seventy minutes of quality music turned to nasty criticism in my mind - Success hits bands in many ways, and it seems that Spyro Cyra is feeling the full brunt of its force. Where does a band come off playing one set of seventy minutes? Sure, they essentially played for free, but that doesn't give them the right to cheat an audience that paid six to seven dollars (it doesn't take much math knowledge to figure that if comes out to the inflationary rate of a dime a minute) Such a short show was a total blow to the evening No one in the music world puts on a performance of such short duration, unless it's the first of a two show club act. Jay Beckenstein was honest in admitting that it was the audience's turn to bring them back for an encore. If they continue their miniscule act on the road, they're likely to return with tomato and egg stained clothes Maybe Buffalonians aren't used to paying these prices to see~a "local" band, but I know they'll never get used to paying such outrageous prices for such a paltry performance You'd think that a hometown crowd is entitled to an above average show I feel Spyro Gyra fertilized their roots Sunday night I honestly hoped for an early audience exit, omitting the call for "encoreIt would have returned the insult — Drug AIpern £ a ® “ �» -/lywifre—P ■ Justice for All triumphs Pacino tackles Jurisprudence by Thomas R.

Accepting any values are hard for Arthur at this point Devastating satire Al Pacino is simply brilliant in this production Robert De Niro and Pacino are the actors of the seventies, and Pacino's portrayal of Kirkland adds to his list of impressive performances for the decade: Frank Serpico in Serpico, Michael in The Godfather I and II, and the confused homosexual bank robber in Dog Day Afternoon. His presence makes this great movie outstanding, and he is aptly supported by John Forsythe, Jack Warden and all the other actors It is refreshing to see Norman Jewison producing quality films again. He hasn't made a film this good since In The Heat of The Night, the Oscarwinning film which also dealt with problems within the American legal and judicial systems. Jewison should win a "best comeback" Oscar, for his last attempt at a film was Sylvester Stallone's claim to self-deification, F.I.S.T. The movie's ending is an unexpected pleasure, and it epitomizes the suspense, comedy, and unpredictability evident throughout the entire film.

Or is he? The transcendental existentialist of the 60 s has returned from a four-year creative hiatus with a new appeal. The appeal for Christianity. His new album. Slow Train Coming, is Dylan's last chance as an aging celebrity, to make it big once again. This self-proclaimed Zionist, social outlaw, and a once "non-member" of the J.D.Lr is how a "born again Christian." He has reenforced old ideologies of the past, with new ones for the future. No longer heard are the intense cries of an embittered man forced into a system in which he does not believe. He is now a man secure in a way that has never been shown before, his political scorn now possesses a hallowed afterbite Dylan has grown.

Doll by doll Six years ago I witnessed the New York Dolls in all their grease-painted and raunchy splendor.

"Cool Metro," Funky But Chic" and "Girls" rocked in the Dolls' manic low-rent style, like a post-adolescent stab at "Personality Crisis." In Style finds Johansen straying from his roots in search of high fashion. "Melody” is Johansen's nod to Motown. The singer and his back-up vocalists engage in a call and response chorus that would do the Four Tops proud (Johansen performs stunning versions of "Build Me Up Buttercup' and "Reach Out" in concert.) "Big City," a paean to Johansen's hometown, entices like a night bathed in neon lights Stan Bronstein's impassioned sax carried the torch, a "Baker Street" for insomniacs. Only "She" and "Wreckless Crazy" are imbued with the Dolls' stamp. The breakness pace has Johansen gasping to get the words in, pure moments of nervous delight. Johansen's "Swaheto Woman" loins forces with Blondie's "Heart of Glass," the "Kinks' "Superman" and other such tunes to herald a new breed of dance music, or disco that doesn't suck. Provocative lyrics, solid melodies and real human emotion imply that your dancing feet don't have to tread on your cerebral cortex. "Flamingo Road" closes the album on the backstreets.

Whether or not Johansen has "offered up his very soul" for a little accessibility remains in the cards.

Greene by Seth Goodchild Spectrum Stuff Writer Utility bills threaten venerable Shea's Theater with closing Two major utility bills due November 1 have raised doubts concerning downtown Buffalo’s Shea’s Theater’s ability to meet operating costs. Recently, it was feared that the theater’s troubled financial state could lead to its closing. Buffalo Mayor James Griffin and Shea’s officials radically differ in their assessment of the difficulties afflicting the renowned theater despite their commitment to its continuation. Treasurer of the Friends of Theater Buffalo group Robert Greene reported that Shea’s has made a significant payment to the National Fuel Gas Company and has already arranged for payment to Niagara Mohawk Power Company. These efforts, he expected, will enable the Theater to keep utilities running “for a while noted that he had received renewed support from the Buffalo Common Council and, in particular. Councilman George Arthur, Green doubts that Shea’s can make money on its own. Griffin, however, claimed that it is indeed possible for the Theater to eventually be profitable. He added that he would like to see a privately-owned Theater receiving limited public funding. Both sides are awaiting a management study to be conducted by two members of Syracuse’s Onondaga Civic Center. The study—beginning Monday and extending for two days—will longer.” Griffin asserted that the city’s commitment has been large enough and placed the blame on poor management, stating that there was, “no direction at the Shea’s.” The Theater’s Executive Director Bob D’Angelo, and Managing Director Curt Mangel were unavailable for comment. Griffin maintained that the city has given the Theater sufficient time to improve its finances and determine how large a municipal subsidy is needed to maintain accused its leadership of not following through on their promises Shea’s and if another management arrangement would be more successful. It is expected to determine the best possible system for for change.

He is already making his own evaluation plans that go beyond those of the Management study awaited Syracuse study.

One of five Government and colleges clamp down on student loan defaulters Despite continued billing of student loan defaulters, colleges and universities across the country are allowing one out of every five National Direct Student Loan (NDSL) recipients to avoid repayment. Figures indicate UB, however, has increased its collection rate over the past two years. In January 1979, then Secretary of Health, Education and Welfare (HEW) Joseph Califano reported a soaring 17 percent default rate nationwide for National Direct Student Loans and a receding 10 percent default rate for Guaranteed Student Loans. At UB the default rate dropped from 18.4 percent in 1977-78 to 16.7 percent in 1978-79, according to Assistant Director of Financial Aid Clarence A. Conner. In January, HEW threatened to cut off federal aid to colleges and universities if they did not start collecting defaulted student loans. The Carter administration suggested that the government consolidate student loan and aid programs into one agency, thus making colleges responsible for dispensing student aid but relieving them of loan collection. Califano suggested instead merging National Direct and Guaranteed Student Loans, but maintaining the direct aid programs as separate bodies New approach Oregon State has taken an original approach to loan collection. The State, through its set-off Individual Liability program, merely withholds money it owes to missing borrowers such as tax refunds and paychecks and applies the funds to repayment of the loan, according to Fall Campus Digest. A different approach to loan collection is now being pursued at SUNY Stony Brook. The federal government is sueing Robert D. Williams, a psychology professor there for failure to pay $3,992 from two fedrally-insured student loans and accrued interest dating from his student days in 1971. The suit represents the first of thousands to be filed in an effort to recover $25 million in debts from former students residing in New York, New Jersey and Puerto Rico. Guaranteed Students Loans are available through 14,000 commercials banks, 90 colleges, 61 proprietary schools and 13 state agencies, according to the Congressional Digest. The program is federally insured so that the government seven percent interest and five percent subsidy on loans until the student assumes seven percent interest beginning 12 months after he leaves school. Family income, student level, academic program, and other student characteristics, however, can be analyzed by the lender to determine who receives the loans. National Direct Studentr Loans —available through college and university financial aid programs—are federally financed and provide three percent long-term loans to low income students, usually in a “package” of aid from various programs. The NDSL enables students to select from a broader range of colleges and universities. .. "—-JiQSzAodeoion �A full-time activist, woman and person motivated by hard work by Tails Dmytrijuk Spectrum Stuff Writer It’s anything but a glamorous career. Mina Hamilton sits in the Sierra Club office on Main Street with her feet propped on a folding chair, surrounded with black and white maps of Western New York, brown filing cabinets, answering the armygreen phone. Mina Hamilton has made political activism her life’s work. At the age of 41, with a BA in Russian Hisjpry from Harvard, she makes only $12,000 a year. “I’m hesitant to give you that figure because 1 don’t want to discourage anyone from doing what 1 do” she says. “But frankly, 1 don’t know how to spend the $12,000. 1 don’t buy clothes. 1 don’t take vacations. I do go out to supper occasionally. But otherwise 1 don’t have any expenses. I’ve recently even abandoned living with a car.” Hamilton obviously had little to lose. “That’s the key on organization,” she asserts. “You have to be willing to lose everything.” organization now active in Buffalo, to close the West Valley nuclear waste storage sight. She was a member of the four person team that organized the recent September rally. Fingering a grey pen, she attempted to explain the poor turnout at the rally. “You need guts, insanity and persistence to involve other people in a vision. We didn’t involve enough people. There was horrendous bedlam for the next few weeks. We needed six months to do what we did in two.” Hamilton does not describe herself as a revolutionary because revolution implies a full turn involving violence. She sees herself instead as* a social change eclectic who is interested in diverse political theories —a maverick. “My mother wanted me to come out in a debutante ball, you know, with all the fuss and flowers. But 1 refused,” she explained. At the age of 19, Hamilton, was arrested for hopping a freight train going from Los Angeles to San Francisco. “1 told my parents about it when 1 came back,” she remembered. “My mother was supportive but my father was alarmed at the concept of his darling daughter consorting with bums. Childless herself, she added “I have no intention of having children. It was a painful and difficult decision to come to. 1 know there are women who are able to juggle a professional life with a family life. But 1 think it’s crazy. So many women go around dropping babies and then giving it to a nanny.” Men Control Society “I’m opposed to marriage.” Hamilton went on, “You know there’s a period that everyone who gets divorced goes through when they are totally against marriage. I’m going through that right now. 1 do, however, lead a rich and satisfying life that involves a member of the opposite sex.” She laughed. “That’s a subtle of saying that I’m living with somebody right now, isn’t it?” Admitting that being a woman has left—-her at a terrible disadvantage with decision makers, Hamilton acknowledged that those who control society are all men. The Sierra Club Board of Directors is dominated by men. "The whole political system is dominated by men. From that view point, women are at a major disadvantage,” she insisted. She professed that women generally have a perspective of nurturing and caring for future generations. “You see, women arc involved with child bearing and rearing. Most men aren’t.” she went on. "So 1 doubt women will ever receive the same rewards as men. But that’s the kind of thing that’s allowed me to say ‘Fuck you, buddy.’ ” No family support Mina Hamilton was born and raised in Manhattan, and lived in Washington D.C.. One of her brothers works for the exportimport bank. “He’s involved with selling nuclear equipment to third countries,” world she explained.“My other brother is a radiologist.

They think they have to buy all that junk," she claimed.

That’s what she realized when she Tbught the Army Corp of Engineers’ Tock’s Island Dam project on the Delaware River which would have evicted 30,000 from their homes. She had been an activist in the Vietnam war protests and a ‘bum’ in Latin America for a year and a half. “But Tocks was the turning point of my life,” she claimed. Hamilton fell in love with the valley between New York and New Jersey and became a total fanatic, taking over an organization of middle-aged ladies who wrote a few letters to their congressman and converting it into a more politically minded force. “At first they were appalled when I brought my wildeyed hippie friends to the meetings,” she reminisced. It started out being a hopeless battle, but after seven years, during which time her marriage broke up and she suffered from a two year recurring headache that sent her to a psychiatrist, Mina Hamilton emerged victorious. In 1978, a bill was proposed in Congress to keep that area along the Delaware a wild and scenic river. Mina wears Levis and sneakers. Her ash blonde hair just reaches her shoulders. She could pass for a U.B. student if it weren’t for her bassett hound eyes and wrinkled brow. Activism takes alot of your time.

SUNY Chancellor Clifton R. Wharton interjected a few comments at the meeting in Troy, New York. Eighteen SUNY students were scheduled to present questions at the hearing, but only 12 attended. Ward said she fell “frustrated” and “disappointed” by the turnput. The Trustees’ public hearings began in 1976 after SASU launched a lobbying campaign which resulted in legislation mandating four open hearings each year. The meeting lasted approximately one and one-half hours with students allowed three to five minutes to present statements or questions. The next hearing is scheduled for December 7 at Maritime College in the Bronx. Dave Wsynewski from SUNY Binghamton told the Trustees that there is no student representation on Binghamton’s Faculty Senate. The topic was discussed as a University-wide issue common among other universities—including U.B. President of UB’s Student Association Joel Mayersohn did not send a representative to the hearing. Mayersohn questioned the “direct impact” the meetings have on influencing Trustee decisions. “At this point we have no new SUNY-wide issues to discuss, plus the location of the hearing made it difficult to attend,” he maintained. Ward said she believes that the meetings are successful since they give students the opportunity to bring issues to the attention of the Board. But, she aided, the impact they have on the Trustee decisions is questionable. * ° * JUST TESTING: Wednesday, (aka accident was staged at the UB nuclear reactor.

Non-traditional students are “those over 25 years of age coming perhaps part time, and taking one or two courses,” according to DUE academic advisor Judith Dingledey. “One of the biggest problems,”she said,“ is a lack of confidence.”“We try to suggest some courses that will build their confidence and place them back in the college setting,” she explained. “We recommend short courses through the Learning Center—basic math, basic english courses. Sometimes we suggest basic psychology or sociology courses,’' Dingledey said, adding, "they take longer to get a degree, mainly because they are not able to be in school during the day at regular times.” According to Associate Director for Planning and Research Peter Wittemann, non-traditional students made up over 8 percent of the total DUE enrollment in 1977-1978. This number has slowly dwindled over the last few years. There has been “a decline in male students around age 25 in the past, mainly Vietnam veterans while a growing area is females between the ages of 28 and 49,” said Dean of Continuing Education James Blackhurst. “One group sees education as a way of improving their job situation and another group wants to enrich their lives,’’-Blackhurst remarked. These students do not limit themselves to any specific areas of study. As head of Millard Fillmore College (MFC), Eric Streiff explained, “It’s good to have a lot of different people in a class, especially where there are discussions going on.” There is an existing program “created by state legislature anyone age sixty and over can enroll to audit a course for no credit, with no charge,” Streiff mentioned. Dingledey feels that colleges “will have a hard time recruiting traditional students in the future.

' _ . . ' �Give us a break—the question is when, mid-March or April? by Joe Simon Campus Editor A student drive is under way to shift this year’s Spring recess—presently, slated for midMarch—to the first week in April. Leading the effort is Student' Association (SA) Director of Student Affairs Dianna Derhak, who believes the recess should coincide with both the Passover and Easter holidays. Last year’s University Calendar Committee yielded to faculty wishes that the Spring Break,traditionally scheduled as close to both religious holidays as possible, be exactly in the middle of the semester. Faculty members complained that after returning the second week in April, only one month was left to complete course work. Derhak is planning on taking her case to University President Robert L. Ketter, the man ultimately responsible for determining the calendar, and the only one who can change existing recesses. She is considering circulating petitions to students ot initiating a massive letter writing campaign to the President. Derhak termed the scheduling of the recess March 8-16 “somewhat during ridiculous,’’claiming, “Ketter’s stand has been when the holidays (Passover and Easter) fall within the one week of each other, the break will be held then.” This year, Passover falls on March 31 to April 8, and Easter Sunday is April 6. Derhak is planning on starting the “major drive” after next week’s student referendum evaluating Ketter. Assistant to the President Ron Stein explained that Ketter, in setting the dates for every recess, is concerned with “meeting the best educational /njwi w LH SI .00 charge with S6.00 •A %wt itqQn a recommendation from the current Calendar Committee, even though they now are primarily concerned with forming next year’s I m;n.

In reference to claims by faculty that there is not enough time to finish course work when, the recess is in April, Derhak said “it doesn’t make much sense. Just because the recess happens to fall there doesn’t mean they can’t get their work done.” She indicated that if Ketter refuses to change the break, the case will be taken to the College Council, and if necessary, even to Albany. Reverend James Kamaras from the Wesley Foundation suggested it might be better to have the recess encompass the holiday. “These are the times families should be together,” Kamaras remarked. One member of this year’s Calendar Committee, Joseph Krakowiak, explained that the group has no jurisdiction over the 1979-80 calendar, but suggested that UB, “as a nonsectarian University, should have it (Spring recess) at mid-semester instead of holidays.” Derhak must now decide how she is going to proceed with the drive. At first determined to use petitions, she has become skeptical on their effectiveness. The possibility of bringing the case to the Student Association of the State Universities (SASU) is not out of the question, she maintained. • • want to get away.” 8323026 Attention Amherst & Ridge Lea Campus We Deliver ail day starting at 11 am needs of faculty, while not infringing on the rights of students.” He said that for Ketter to change an existing- holiday, he would probably Stein said the change to, mid-March ‘‘was recommended strongly by the Faculty Senate and supported by the Academic Deans.” He added, with the ‘‘long Buffalo winters, we need a chance ■» * • - - Si Open Dally 11m SaaSaya 4 pm - Sit Down Taka out ft n» !

Dorm residents are being invited to submit mural ideas for evaluation and subsequent painting by students if accepted. In an attempt to reduce the impersonal atmosphere of the dorms and related violence,IRC Vice President for Activities Richard Koh recalled a similar project instituted in Fargo of the Ellicott Complex two years ago. Mural paintings will take place November 3 for Ellicott, November 10 for Governors’ and November 17 for Main Street dormitories. “The greatest factor for the success of this project is the input from the students,” Koh said. “We urge all residents to submit ideas and entries.” All dorm students interested in submitting ideas should contact their Resident advisor (RA). Ideas must contain a scale version of the desired mural and also the approximate location of the artwork. Requests will be reviewed by a joint committee consisting of members from Facilities and Planning, Custodial Services, IRC Area Coordinators and the Housing staff. Paint is being donated by Pratt and Lambert, a national paint company. Instill pride When asked about the dorm beautification project, IRC president Tom Knight said, “The beautification project of the dorms is an essential part of IRC’s residential policy this year. IRC wishes to establish a more comfortable living atmosphere in the dorms.” A snap shot of each mural will be taken and judged by an unknown party. The mural with the best design and painting may possibly receive a prize. IRC will sponsor a party for all participants. The theme for all the IRC sponsored parties wjjl be ‘’reduction of vandalism.” Clment Hal! RA Hal Bader remarked “It gives the students an opportunity to express themselves in an artistic manner rather than a destructive manner. Paintings 'of the murals definitely should instill pride in each students floor.” Concerning the similar project done in Quadrangle of the Ellicott Complex two years ago, Richard Koh said “It did sucessfully reduce vandalism and made the place a nicer place to live. I think Fargo is now the cleanest quad in Ellicott.” The jdorm beautification project is requiring Close work by a number of individuals and groups. Clement Hall Area Coordinator Denise Jackson commented, “The project is really taking a lot of hard work and a tremendous amount of coordination between the groups sponsoring it. But I’m sure in the end, it will be worth it." —\umian t. Levine Double chicken wings and pitcher of beer $4.25 •••••••• EARN DOLLARS in your spare time! Study while you donate plasma.

Football Helter Skelters, Toxic Wastes are intramural winners J Mud flew and tempers flared at Amherst Wednesday as the Heltcr_Skelters overwhelmed the previously 4-1 Animals in a crushing 24-0 contest. Too busy watching the referees, the Animals produced a sterile offense that was unable to tease Helter Skelter with any scoring threat. A sloppy snap, indicative of the Animals play, opened the action as Helter Skelter’s domineering defense forced them to punt the ball away after their first set of downs was unsuccessful. Quarterback Paul Berrara completed seven of his 10 throws for the Skelter’s. Starting the scoring late in the first half, Berrara’s first touchdown pass fell in the hands of powerful Steve Mass. Skelter kicked off in high spirits following the clean play to allow the Animals a second chance, but Animals’ quarterback Frank Alicia could not fight off Skelter’s powerful rushers. His intended pass to Jeff Perez was intercepted by Skelter’s Benny Doyle who ran the ball half the field to score. However, an offsides penalty was called on the Skeltcr’s front line, erasing the score. The Animals fought back in desperation all through the muddy contest. Perez stole a long pass from Berrara adding yardage, but the interception was in vain for the Animals. Coming back on the wet Held for the second half, Helter Skelter’s stars ran through and around the Animals. A precise screen pass to Greg Castro permitted a big gain for the Skelter’s. Arguments and accusations flew throughout the contest. “We’re protesting this game because of the referees,” stated Animals’ quarterback Alicia, not pleased with the lack of penalties called. “He’s not a good ref,” complained Animals’ Perez angrily pointing at one of the referees. Helter Skeller’s win is attributed to complete team effort. Steve Mance kept game action in Helter Skeller’s territory with his accurate kicking, as Pat Doyle put on a defensive show with three interceptions. Berrara finished his afternoon with a long touchdown bomb to Josep to clinch the game for Helter Skelter. \ yS|£ —Betsy Delle Bovi 4r * <. is • They crawled off the field looking* like extras from the hit movie “Invasion of the Slime .God.” After two showers, you could tell the players’ individual features. You could even see Toxic Wastes’ smiles, the smile of a 12-9 intramural football league victory over the Half Kegs at Ellicott Wednesday. The second play of the game saw the Toxic Wastes razzle-dazzle their opponents for a quick six. Waste quarterback Tim Sheehan rolled right, pitched the*ball to Kevin Kulfk, and took off. Kulik then hit Sheehan for a 20 yard pass. Using a block by Bob Burnett, Sheehan went in for the score. The Half Keg defense then came alive, picking up three points on a safety on Henry Yabraudy’s dive. Trailing 6-3, the Kegs followed up with an interception by Dan Sweeney and the first of three sacks by the Kegs’ Tony Maddalone. Sweeney commented that “they thought they’d blow us away, but we told them a different story.” ■*v, *— *.- finish As play continued into the second half, with players wallowing in the ankle deep mud, the Wastes continued to drive. Sheehan found Kuiik unattended and hit him with a long bomb, putting another six on the scoreboard. Not yet ready to give up although down 12-3, the Half Kegs drove downfield. Keg passer Jeff Starr tossed to Steve Dupret to give the Kegs their lone touchdown. Toxic Wastes then called upon their undersized defense—the heaviest defender is linebacker* John Jamieson at 165 pounds—to preserve the victory. They heard the cry and responded. Bill Wonke finally shut the door on the Half Kegs, intercepting a pass deep in Toxic Waste territory. Sheehan complained that “the Wastes have trouble getting up for these small teams. We get psyched easier for the big teams, like Tolciiok and Helter Skelter.” Sweeney rebutted, “We’re just a rookie team, mainly freshmen.

Volleyball Royals are unable to net home win Saints march in for grid match The football Bulls (3-4) will be looking to break a three-game losing streak tomorrow when they play their final home contest of the season against St. Lawrence at 1:30 p.m. The visiting Saints have a poor 1-5 log but boast strong lines and a smart freshman quarterback. “They’re probably one of the best 1-5 teams around,” as!$essed UB coach Bill Dando. “They’re bigger than us. Their linebackers are 240 pounds, their . tackles are 260.” St. Lawrence Sports Inforihation Director Walter Johnson excuses the Saints’ record with the same reason that UB might use to alibi its own misfortunes. “17 starters have been injured at one point or another this year,” Johnson revealed. “It’s been a constant shuffling of players.” Johnson described the Saints’ strength as lying in the trenches. “We have a veteran offensive line and a solid defensive line,” he pointed out. “Plus we have a pretty good passing attack. Our quarterback, Mark Ferranti, is a freshman who came on and played very well against Canisius a couple of weeks ago. But the whole offense was banged up last week against Norwich.” The Saints lost by a convincing 42-24 score. St. Lawrence has a suspect secondary, prompting Dando to say, “I’ve been known to throw.” UB passer Jim Rodriguez is coming off a disappointing five- IN TOURNEY: Altar a sluggish start which taw them loss their Ural three games, the field hockey Royals roared back this season to finish with a 7-4 record, good enough to seed them sixth In today’s State Tournament In Hamilton, N.Y. The Royals, whose defense was anchored by goalie Robin Dulmoge’s lour shutouts and aggressive play by Qabl Gray and StayBrady, will for-18 day against Westminster, but Dando assured that the Bulls’ problems cannot be blamed on him. “Jim’s in the limelight, but he shouldn’t be held responsible for the offense breaking down,’’ he emphasized. “Like last week—Mark Maier, our starting running back, was injured after two carries. The week before he carried 34 times (setting a UB record), last week only twice.” Lack of experience, according to Dando, has been the main reason the Bulls find themselves winless in the last three tries. “Most of the teams we play are veteran V ball clubs,” he indicated. “We’re a young team—so you’re going to have breakdowns. Someday, though, these freshmen and sophomores will be juniors and seniors.” • V Dando expects his squad to do well tomorrow, as they have done in every preyious home game. “We’ve been losing on the road. But the home fans have not been disappointed,” he said referring to the Bulls’.2-1 record in Rotary Field this year. “It’s nice to be back in friendly grounds.” The contest will be billed as “Amherst-Clarence Chamber of Commerce Day,” and will introduce a community award named after former UB coach Dick Offenhamer.

Offensively. UB attacks with an evenly spread front line led by Vicky Jackson with eight goals and three assists and Janine Jamieson with six goals and three assists. The Royals outscored their foes 24-1S during the regular campaign, The UB volleyball Royals gave up a tough match on Tuesday against St. John Fisher, losing the best of five, 3-1. Constant hard hitting and diving for the ball provided an action packed match. UB head coach Peter Weinrich was not so disappointed with his team, which now sports a 9-15 record. “They (John Fisher) have a very good team; their record shows that,” Weinrich commented. One of the Royals summed up the lost match by saying, “We just couldn’t put it together.” The first game was very close. Good setting by Buffalo’s Lori Hansen gave Akemi Tsuji and Mary Evanco numerous opportunities to spike the ball. But with impressive enthusiasm and hard hitting, Fisher grabbed key points to win the first game 15-10. The second game featured more cheering and looked much more promising for Buffalo. UB had the lead from the beginning. Wanda Mesmer, the only senior on the Royals, made plays only a lefthander could make, as UB shot out to a 14-8 lead. UB was assured of a win. But not so. Fisher handily evened the lopsided score at 14-14, and then proceeded to capture the next two points and the game. Under pressure Fisher held a 2-0 advantage. Faced with elimination, the Royals had to come up with a big effort in the third eontest.Fisher felt very confident, and with good reason. Their season record thus far is 24-1. In the third game, Fisher’s over-confidence showed on the court. More frequent mistakes by the Fisher squad pitted against stronger play by UB gave the locals their first win of the match. UB took the third game 15-9. in the fourth game of the match, the Royals again took a quick lead 8-2. UB’s Mesmer and Robin Cooksey made sparkling saves in ' —Oannls Flow Up, up and ...

While some people dread the earthshaking thunder of the blasting from the NFTA construction site on Main Street, others seem to be having little problem adjusting to the inconvenience. As reported in The Buffalo Evening News, “of the 50 persons at the meeting in the University Heights Community Center, last Monday evening eight people said their homes had been damaged by the blasting.” Sister Agnes Mare, principal of St. Joseph’s School complained, “School children, especially in kindergarten and primary grades, are’ becoming upset and afraid.” Dr. Young B. Jones of University Avenue said that the plaster in his house was “cracking.” Then who are these people that can lead normal lives despite the barrage of dynamite that explodes only 200 yards from their front doors? Are these people who are looking out for their business’ welfare—or people that just don’t want to make waves? Those silent to the occurring problem are the owners, land managers of the shops and restaurants directly in front of the blasting site. “I’m so used to it now, 1 pay no attention,” commented Jo Ann Brodfuehrer, manager of Life Uniforms. Accordingly, she claimed their customers are more affected by it than the employees. “It’s loud, they question what it is and they jump, but they don’t complain,” she commented. “You can’t fight City Hall,” Brodferher stated, despite the fact she has no plans to complain. Nothing you can do / Miletello’s Luggage, located next door to Life Uniforms doesn’t seem bothered enough to make any waves either. However, the manager confided that “The windows shake, and I’m afraid they’re going to break.” His assistant had stronger words, “They (NFTA) just went and did it. They look our tax money and said, ‘let’s go’.” Miletello’s refused to state their individual names, but concluded by stating, “You don’t need to use our names, just say ‘the business people’.” Roy Powell, manager of Arthur Treacher’s Fish and Chips also did not have much to say, although he did comment about shaking windows. He rationalized it with that worn out adage, "it’s progress.” While the explosions will continue regardless, the dilemma remains: are the business people on Main Street accurate in saying that the noise level isn’t bad, and that the residents who are farther away from the site are blowing the problem out of proportion? Or do residents have a valid , complaint? �I PLOOR CLASSIFIEDS may be placed at ‘The Spectrum' office, 355 Squire Hall, MSC. Office hours are 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday thru Friday.

In his first public statement concerning Ketter’s bid to continue in his post, SA President Joel Mayersohn told the body, “The President has not served the needs of students or the University community. He’s been here eight years and 1 think it’s time for a change.” Applause trickled through the Senate Ghambers in Talbert Hall. At one point, SA Director of Academic Affairs Judiann Carmack suggested that the Senate hold a vote of “no confidence” on Ketter, but Mayersohn, along with several Senators, agreed that a special meeting should be held for that purpose. That meeting will be 5:30 Monday in Haas Lounge. Because of internal bickering and chaotic five hour-long meetings last year, a student referendum was held in March to dissolve the former . .

CorbaMy, fonnerty of the University of Illinois, Edwin Young, of the University of Senate. SA clutis and organizations appointed at that time representatives to form an interim Senate, which met Monday. These Senators—according to last year’s referendum —will remain in office until a new SA Constitution is constructed, dictating revised election procedures. Although members from the Constitution Committee have expressed optimism in meeting a November 30 deadline for forming a new charger, the interim Senate voted itself an extension Monday in case new representatives were not elected by that date. ‘Fact sheet’ Last Spring’s referendum had also stated that the interim Senate meet by September 15 of this semester, but problems in contacting Senators forced over a month’s delay. In fact, only 29 of business was completed, the Senate directed its attention towards Ketter. “This is the most important thing we’ll be doing today,” Mayersohn told the Senators, directing them to a 12 point “fact sheet” he had prepared concerning Ketter. All but one item criticized Ketter. Claiming it was time “(or the President to come down from his ivory tower,” Mayersohn highlighted the “fact sheet” with the Senators. Mayersohn charged that the President lef last year’s controversy over the power of the Undergraduate Dean “become a political tug-of-war.” He also attacked -Ketter for failing to provide sufficient student activity space, dormitory space, and for not developing ‘‘an adequate Affirmative Action Program.” Regarding the Record Co-op in Squire Hall, Mayersohn wrote, * Wisconsin, and David Z.

Replacement of out-of-date lab equipment now essential Kiser, Dean for Facilities and Operations within the Faculty of Engineering and Applied Sciences, the major problem resides by Mark Meltzer Campus Editor in three departments—Civil Engineering, Science and Electrical SUNY-wide replacement of outmoded, Engineering Engineering. decaying laboratory equipment—their deficiency partly responsible for the drop in accreditation last Spring of UB’s top ranked Dental School —is now a “critical, high priority issue” for the SUNY system, While Chancellor Clifton R. Wharton disclosed last week. Wharton also revealed that the “vast majority” of money acquired through last year’s tuition increase—possibly between $4 million and $12 million—will be channeled into reversing the equipment decline. Both physical deterioration and technological obsolescence have made replacement “a major, burgeoning problem for the University,” Wharton told a student gathering in Albany last week. But Monday, UB Assistant to the Executive Vice President Robert Wagner, the man responsble for drafting UB’s budget request, told The Spectrum that it could take "a decade to adequately "replace the University’s failing machines. We estimate that we have $20 million worth of equipment that has reached or exceeded it’s expected “ life,” he said. The total amount of money granted SUNY system last year for equipment replacement was only $2.5 million, Wagner noted. “You’re obviously playing catch-up. This is a backlog over a long period of time. The Dental School drew criticism from an American Dental Association evaluation team last Spring for its archaic equipment. According to Dental School Dean William of 1975. The decision was made, he said to his facility’s lab equipment is Feagans, areas—maintenance, certain cut back in “totally obsolete” and is kept in use mostly services and equipment support replacement—as SUNY’s base budget was' by good maintenance. The dental chairs and dental units are so axed by $21.5 million. Feagans said, that replacement outdated, “a noted, Wagner UB’s that, On top of parts are no longer available. When a unit significant amount” of equipment now breaks down and needs parts, it is taken out considered “okay” will become obselete by of use—and its parts are used to fix other the time the already outmoded equipment is units. “Our needs are acute and immediate,” $113 replaced. UB possesses approximately he said. million worth of equipment, Wagner said. Hidden debt According to Wharton, the snowball effect began during the New York State fiscal crisis Inside: Fascination-P. 7 / Maybe Electrical Engineering suffers mostly from shortages in equipment, the other two departments are plagued both by antiquated equipment and a general equipment scarcity, Kiser explained. a sun lamp for According to Feagans, less than $50,000 has been awarded to the Dental School since the private University of Buffalo was incorporated into the SUNY system in 1962. Feagans estimated that the first phase of equipment replacement within the Dental School—to include only immediate needs —might cost as much as $750,000. “We’re in a desperate situation as far as the~ replacement of equipment is concerned,” he said. Another sector of this University cramped by insufficient equipment is the School of Engineering. According to Kenneth M. hair instead?— P. I I / Breakdowns up Chairman of the Department of Electrical Engineering, Dennis P. Malone, noted that spiraling enrollments there have hiked the equipment demand and sped its decline. “Both graduate and the undergraduate enrollment has grown so much in recent years that we haven’t been able to equip the labs,” Malone commented. Because the limited equipment has been used so heavily, he added, “they literally break down more often.” The Electrical Engineering Department’s facilities stretch from Main street’s Parker Hall, to Ridge Lee, to Furnas and Bell Halls on Amherst. The Main Street-housed engineering departments are most troubled by equipment deficiences. Civil Engineering Chairman Antti Talvitie asserted. Talvitie, whose Department operates in Parker, said the lack of available technicians also contributes to equipment breakdown. SUNY Central will ask the Slate for $5 million in next year’s budget to begin a phased replacement of inadequate equipment, according to Wagner. The Student Association of the State University (SASU) estimates that the total cost of equipment replacement SUNY-wide will be $154.8 million by 1980-81, or 58 percent of total inventory. According to Wagner, UB has $1.1 million remaining from last year’s allocation that has not arrived yet from Albany, while SUNY Central has an additional $2.5 million in unallocated funds remaining from the 1979-80 budget. Living in a straight world—P. 12 / Hockey preview— P. 13 �CM by Jon-Michael Glionna U.S. Customs Back in the U.S.A., you don't know how lucky you are boys Feature Editor With sunrise more than an hour away, my friend and I had to rely on the murky lights to cast a wan glow upon our hastily magic-markered sign. It read ‘Toronto,’ and we were still qn the American side of the Peace Bridge. The earlier part of the Friday evening was blown drinking drafts, careening through road construction markers and stealing pies and we still weren’t tired. A puny sportscar darted from the night and skidded to a screeching halt along side of us. Two smiling Canadians rolled down their windows, ‘“Op in,’ how 'bout a couple of beers fellas? We’re going to Toronto, too.” We stuffed ourselves in and popped open two sixteen-ounce Budweisers. Our speedy coupe zipped over the Niagara River when the driver noticed that we were running out of gas. We passed through Canadian customs without incident and after wasting almost an hour buzzing around the streets of Fort Erie, I suggested that we would have better luck if we returned to the States. My proposal was heartily applauded and awarded with another round of beers. As we swerved our way back over the bridge, making use of both traffic lanes, I tried to recall if I knew any station that would be open at 5:30 a.m. We would ask the customs officer, I concluded. The booths were so deserted at that early hour that only the last one displayed the inviting green light. We came to a stop alongside the cubicle as a middle-aged woman with glasses peered inside the car. “Citizenship?” she demanded. “We’re Canadians,” was the response from the front seat. Her stare shifted to the back as I clutched my beer uneasily beneath my coat. “We’re from Buffalo, er . We go to school there,” my friend added. She asked our purpose in the States and we readily explained. This, however, did not satisfy her. She wanted to see ID’s from all of us, and after close scrutiny returned them along with a red tag which she slid underneath the windshield wiper. “Drive down to the garage where the officer is waving the light,” she instructed. The car pulled away from the booth and headed towards the customs garage for a more thorough inspection. We questioned each other, struggling to empty three-quarter filled beer cans. The search was on! . Th« Canadian Connection 20—25,000 cars cross the bridge daily . Watchful eyes Entering the United States over any one of the four bridges—the Peace Bridge, Rainbow Bridge, Lewiston Bridge and Whirlpool Bridge—connecting Western New York and Canada, travellers must subject themselves and their belongings to the wary eye of U.S. customs. Many of the tens of thousands of cars which venture over these bridges every day carry'commuters, businessmen, sightseers and families. But the roads are also open to travellers with other motives. Illegal ones. These are the vehicles which customs officers on both sides of the bridges are out to stop. Established by the First Act of Congress in 1789 with the single purpose of revenue collection, the authority of customs outposts has been broadened to enforce the laws. “Although revenue collection is still our main goal, customs officials are now responsible for the enforcement of customs regulations along with those of 40 other governmental agencies,” explained Acting Director of Inspection and Control Peter Sabio. According to Sabio, an average of 20,000 to 25,000 cars pass over each of the bridges daily with peak hours in the early morning and evening as Canadian commuters rush to and from jobs in the U.S. He maintained Festival East and WBUF � 4 BETTER WATCH OUT; People often have a falsa tansa of sacurtly whan crossing the border, a customs official warned. Cars can be stopped and searched on suspicion—or whim. Above, the Peace Bridge Joins thha U.S. and Canada. that, ideally, customs officials should search every car but with the excessive flow of traffic during some hours, the decision to stop a car is left up to the individual officer. Shuffle into Buffalo? After a car rolls off the Peace Bridge and passes through the first row of booths where the 35 cent bridge maintainance toll is collected, it proceeds to the customs booths. There, an officer questions the occupants’ nationalities, purpose of trip and nature of possessions. If the answers to these questions satisfy the inspector, the car is allowed to continue on its way to Buffalo. If the officer becomes suspicious for any reason, the vehicle is subject to a more extensive search in a nearby customs garage. Officials have indicators of various sorts to weed out people they believe should not be granted entrance to the country, according to Sabio. “We have a complex computer system which connects to others run by Federal agencies such as the Treasury Enforcement and National Crime Indication systems,’’ he said. Information contained on every license plate is run through this computer system. Sabio also explained that customs outposts are supplied with phpto albums of all known convicted criminals to aid inspectors in their identification attempts. Individual officers are then left to their own discretion in stopping vehicles which pass these preliminary customs checks. “I sometimes stop cars on impulse,” admitted part-time officer Bob McDonald, who doubles as both customs inspector and school teacher. “Sometimes you’re left to operate on a gut level and act upon your own personal stereotypes,” he added. McDonald also explained the “blitz” procedure which is ordered by supervisor’s whims noting, “Every so often, usually in non-peak periods, we are instructed to stop every car which passes through for a more thorough check.” He also claimed that inspectors often choose a lettfcr for a particular day and stop all cars donning a license plate ending in that letter." Legal searches Every car which passes through customs is subject by law to a vehicle inspection without declaration of probable cause by the officers. However, to conduct any physical search 0/ a motorist, the customs inspector must express a suspicion which would be admissible in court. “Nervousness, nature and time of travel and items found in the car arc all sufficient justification for a more thorough, bodily search,” claimed Sabio. . present BONNIE RAITT and STEVE FORBERT Tonight at the Sheas Buffalo Theater Tickets $8.50, $7.50 Available at The Squire Box Office and at the Shea's Box Office AWOL Surprisingly, customs officials routinely nab a host of alleged criminals attempting to enter the country. At least ten or 15 people per week are arrested with outstanding warrants against them. Armed Forces’ AWOL’s are also prime targets for apprehension at the border. He also told The Spectrum that anyone attempting to enter the country with any type of narcotics has committed a number of crimes. “These people are usually in big trouble. Just one bag of pot invokes charges of importation of an illegal substance, possession of a controlled substance, failure to report a possession and false declaration,” related Sabio. For whatever reason people go to Canada, all too many travellers acquire a false sense of security within the limited confines of their cars’ front seats and either fail or refuse to realize that both the United States and Canada have very strict rules governing passage over their borders. “Wise up or we’re gonna get ya,” he warned. The half-hour search conducted in the customs garage revealed nothing for our friends in blue. Once in the garage, we were seated on a church pew in the comer of the room and forced to watch as the two agents pawed through our belongings with smiles all around as an adolescent boy would go through his sister’s virginal underwear drawer. We whispered and made light of their efforts, knowing we had nothing to hide except for a few beer bottles. They even pulled out a medicine bottle full of vitamins causing us a few anxious moments wondering if some premature charges would be placed against us. Finally, the garage door was raised, our ID’s returned, and we were allowed to crowd back into the car.

The pictures were to be used for evidence in case of illegal activity. Although most were destroyed, four photographs will remain on file with the department. These arc shots of broken windows at Hayes C, the sight of the protest, and of students blocking the doors to the building. Director of Public Safety Lee Griffin said these pictures will be used if legal proceedings are initiated against any student. Assistant Director Jack Eggert first explained that photographs were of signs carried by protestors, taken for “merely curiosity” reasons. These comments were later clarified by Griffin. “Any time there’s the likelihood someone will break the law, we’ll have someone taking pictures,” he explained.

New technical director casts spotlight back on UB theater by Seth Goodchild Spectrum Stuff Writer Katharine Cornell Theater,stymied by the The absence of a Technical Director, appears to be fairing well since it found a new Director last November. The two month absence of a person qualified to run complex equipment caused the cancellation of many shows last Fall. Following the resignation last October of former director John Pietruszka, the theater was plagued with other problems. Necessary technical facilities, such as sound and lighting equipment, could not be used. “We have one of the most lighting boards in Western New York,” reported new Director Jerry Kegler. “They just couldn’t have someone walk off the street and operate it.” The board’s value, Kegler estimated, is about a quarter of a million dollars. Consequently, many shows had to be cancelled as Faculty of Arts and Letters Dean George Levine refused to authorize the use of the technical facility. In October 1978, concert coordinator for College B, Mike Sheffield, told The Spectrum that the theater’s credibility was poor and many groups who had the theater reserved pulled out. He added that this shift in altitude also hurt the entire Amherst Campus’ ' respectability. Improved The delay in filling the post stemmed from the inability to find a qualified person and then having that person approved by the State, according to Ellicott Complex official Richard Cudeck. “Two months isn’t really that bad with the State system,” he added. Kegler, who has a degree from UB in technical theater and art management, was selected in November but, he explained, did not actually begin work until December. The theater’s credibility has improved drastically since then, reported the new Director. He pointed to a full schedule for October with only one open date left for the month. In April 1979—termed an average month by Kegler— 28 of a possible 31 dates were filled. PIZZA As was .expected, Kegler explained, the theater’s use dipped in the summer months, but returned (o normal with a 200-hour schedule this month."’ All kinds of shows, concerts and other performing arts are held at the theater. Earlier this month, political satirist Mark Russell performed a show telecast by Channel 17. The theater will continue to play host to a wide variety of classical concerts, dance troups, College B activities and other cultural Affairs, including a WBFO benefit. ” - "* Even keel When Kegler took over, he was the only staff member. Now he has two part-time students to assist him with technical duties. Previously, only Pietruszka had authorization to use the equipment. The former director, however, ‘,‘oul of necessity,” agreed to training volunteer students to operate the complicated boards, Sheffield reported. The theater has no budget per se. Kegler, whose duties extend beyond technical matters to the day-today management of the theater, is paid through the University Office of the President. Operating expenses come from minimal fees the theater charges for nightly use. In addition, all groups requiring lighting or sound, have to pay equipment fee. “Lighting and sound,” Kegler noted, “are expensive and we charge the minimum necessary to keep us operating.” He added that the theater makes no profit. A few years ago, the theater was flooded and the all wood floor was warped and never fixed. “The floor could be a future problem,” admitted Kegler. He noted that they must lay a temporary floor for visiting dance groups. Cudek said that there are plans for replacing the battered floor sometime in 1980. Everything else is running smoothly at Katharine Cornell, the theater is booked, and is for the first time operating without a deficit. Keglcr predicts no other future problems, unless requests for the theater dip. “As long as it (need for the theater) keeps up,” he reported, “we’ll have our income on an even keel.” Western N.Y.’s Favorite For Over 30 Years!

(Minutes from either campus) Verbally reprimanded T , . r-,r- At Tuesday’s rally, Dan Pfoltzer from The Other One spotted a familiar man wandering about the crowd taking pictures. Upon Pfoltzer’s inquiry, the man identified himself as an officer from Public Safety, but would not disclose why he was photographing the rally. Pfoltzer then went to Griffin. "I invited him to watch us develop the pictures,” Griffin said. The pictures were “not reflective of criminal activity or an arrest situation,” according to Pfoltzer, and were destroyed in his presence—except the four specific shots that were kept by Griffin. Some of the photographs which Griffin reviewed, had no specific relation to what the officer was assigned to cover. “1 had instructed him to take pictures only when justice was in danger of obstruction, and he got a little carried away,” Griffin said. The officer was “verbally reprimanded” by Griffin. If he receives a similar mark on his record, Griffin said, “Department action will be taken.” Over 100 studctlts came out on October 16 to demand that Hooker Chemical Corporation bear responsibility for the chemical disaster at the Love Canal. Initially, the rally was planned to lend support to the Love Canal Homeowner’s and not to protest student recruitment. But a few protesters nonetheless blocked the doors of Hayes C where students were being interviewed by the company. Griffin indicated that he could not remember the last time his Department used officers to photograph an event at the University, although The Spectrum has pictures of officers filming the Goodyear cafeteria last September after reports of a planned food fight. Griffin remarked that when officers from his seven-man investigative unit photograph an event, they arc not doing so deviously. He said that they always wear plainclothes in their work, and do not specifically shed their uniforms for the event.

Gameroom referendum editorial * 4 To the Editor I Candid camera '■ . You’re being watched ... and photographed. Not for Life magazine, but for University Police files. This is a crime. It may not be a violation of the law, but it is a moral crirrte that Innocent students may have their photographs tucked away in police files without their Knowledge. Director of Public Safety (alias University Police) Lee Griffin explained that “anytime there’s the likelihood someone will break the law, we’ll have someone taking pictures." Why did he believe it was likely that students protesting the Hooker Chemical Company would break the law? Was there "probable cause”? No. Did University Police receive a tip from an informant that the scheduled peaceful protest could result in broken windows? If not. then why were officers at Hayes C waiting to shoot cameras—they don’t have guns. If they did receive a "hot tip," then that is a much more serious problem. At last Tuesday's protest, undoubtedly one officer became a little clickhappy, snapping candids that did not show unlawful activity. Supposedly all but four prints were destroyed In front of a student witness. But perhaps, there Is more than one roll of film or more than one photographer. The four are being kept in case legal proceedings are Initiated, but after the rally, University Police officials said no charges had been pressed. Fortunately, Griffin did "verbally reprimand" the Inquiring Photographer of University Police because as he said, “he got a little carried away.” But what does a verbal reprimand really mean? Next time, "action will be taken," according to Griffin—or will this Incident be forgotten like Griffin forgot the last time University Police were nabbed taking pictures—at a food fight In Goodyear Cafeteria last year? University Police’s motto—To Serve and Protect—is a sincere one. Many of the campus cops are responsible for helping students all the time, On October 24 & 25, the IRC Area Council Elections will be held; in Ellicott there will be a referendum on the ballot. The referendum was decided as the only fair solution that took the residents of Fargo into consideration. The issue to be voted on will be: Do you want a gameroom in the Fargo Cafeteria? Yes or No. IRC’s main rationale for establishing the IRC gameroon in one half of the Fargo cafeteria is: 1. to provide the residents of Ellicott with an alternative gathering area other than The Wilkeson Pub. 2. provide the residents of Ellicott with good quality recreational equipment. (This would mean new Belgium pool balls, new sticks, foosball tables, new ping-pong equipment, and even some small table games.) 3. to have the gameroom open during the day and on weekends. 4. to use the gameroom for many IRC sponsored tournements: pool, chess, backgammon, etc. IRC is willing to let the Fargo residential colleges secure space in the other half of the cafeteria. If needed, the whole cafeteria could be reserved through IRC & the Housing Department. In closing I would like to say, that it is up to you, the residents of Ellicott, if “The Fargo Gameroom” is to be established. So remember on Wednesday and Thursday of this week. VOTE!! Do you want a gameroom in the Fargo Cafeteria? Yes or no? . Thomas R. Knight ...

Please To the Editor Make haste slowly Recently, I have read about a $100 million plan that was unveiled to beautify and update the Main Street campus. Not all that money is reallyi needed. I know of a simple plan that in one sweep will immediately make the campus attractive. Just knpck down all the temporary buildings! They are ugly beyond belief and take up precjous room on an overcrowded campus. Although there Sometimes it’s a matter of speed or timing. The Student Senate should have met a long time ago. Rebounding from a tumultuous year, the Senate is carefully being revised and the interim body is taking deliberate steps. Difficulty in contacting Senators forced the delay of the interim Senate’s debut this year. Although understandable, not meeting until midway through October can only backlog the Senate with Important issues. In spite of this, the Senate should not act hastily. It should be careful and concerned as it takes steps to evaluate President Robert Ketter. Student Association President Joel Mayersohn—with good intentions—prepared a preliminary fact sheet highlighting some of President Ketfer’s previous actions. Although the student President has been carefully watching Kettor, the Senate should not even consider a "No Confidence” vote of the University President until all the facts —or many more facts—are garnered and evaluated. The Student Senate is the recognized representative voice of over 13,000 undergraduates. Its actions symbolize the views of the major constituent group at this University. , It is wise that the Senate decided to postpone any formal vote or action about Ketter until after the President speaks this Friday in front of the University community (Squire Hall's Haas Lounge at 4 p.m.) But the Senate should continue to gather information, review past Senate action —like 1978’s “No Confidence" vote —and evaluate student needs at this University now. Ketter's evaluation is a question of long-term significance for this University. In a long distance race, the runner won’t last If he starts slowly and sprints because he is behind. The Senate must not let its delayed start result in a winded dash. The Spectrum Vol.30, No. 29 Wednesday, 24 October 1979 Editor-in-Chief Daniel S.

Foster (I avoid “Mr." for readability’s sake only) rejects my labeling him a defender of the status quo by explaining that he is merely noting the unfortunate but pressing reality of enrollment shtfts. Foster writes: "If that is the status quo to which he refers, I submit that to recognize it is not to defend it.” Foster’s “if” is of course the underpinning of his assertion. But a careful examination of my guest opinion ofOctober 10, will reveal a clear contention that Foster defends the University’s response to the reality of enrollment shifts, he defends the present course of action (and inaction), he defends the direction the University is taking. In a debate that sometimes gets around to policy, Foster—at his most modest—says that we should continue to do what we have been doing. That is the status quo to which I hold him a visionless defender; but he wants to make a quarrel where we have none. In picking a smaller and essentially irrelevant fight, Foster (with one little “if”) avoids the larger point which formed the entire core of my argument. The issue I want to raise begins with: Is there within our imagination some other response to the reality of enrollment shifts that would seek ta, discover—with some precision—why students flock to the professional schools, how firmly grounded their reasons are, an$l to what extent the policies of this University encourage that tendency while discouraging some other impulse. In the same piece, I sought to give a few examples of a planning attitude that would represent more of a "resistance” to the reality of enrollment shifts than the planning attitude of Drs. Bunn and Ketter. I further claimed that the Administration’s failure to embark on a more ambitious resistance to the status quo was deliberate, that it in fact coincided with the historical tendencies of the Administration to value controlled expression over free expression, order over entropy, students as numbers over students as people, graduate education over undergraduate education, research over teaching, and finally, the professional schools over (he humanities. Those curious about the “trade school” charge, I suggested, should look at this pattern in the Ketter Administration to see if some proof couldn’t be constructed with a little historical analysis. I practically begged Foster to take up such an analysis. He has, so far, refused. But Jn his very refusal Foster helps confirm and even sharpen my image of his as a defenderof the status quo. I—like Arts and Letters—wanted to look at how the University’s response to the reality of enrollment shifts helped strengthen the effect of that reality. Foster—like Ron Bunn—replied that merely because he did not ignore enrollment shifts, he was accused of supporting their effect on the University. Notice the pattern. I said: “Look, we’re in a bad situation, but we’re making it worse.” Foster’s response: “Look, we’re in a bad situation, but that’s reality.” Like Ron Bunn, Foster seeks to rhetorically fuse the reality of enrollment shifts with the reality of the University’s response. He can then defend the latter by invoking the absoluteness of the former. This is precisely what Bunn and Ketter did when proclaiming: “EnroHment figures and ratios are real and no amount of philosophical debate will obscure that fact.” What Jhey mean is that no amount of philosophical debate can proceed past that fact. Foster’s response is intended to strengthen the barriers thrown up to a larger debate. After failing to challenge my brief but sweeping historical analysis of the Ketter Admlniatratlon’a. prejudice, against, the humanities, Foster attemptss to pull the debate back towards his familiar grounds: numbers, ratios, the reality of it all. This rhetorical trickery accomplished, he is then free to ask: “Where is the evidence that the ‘trade school mentality' is the driving force in Capen Hall?” With this he recalls the dictator who imprisons all dissenters then asks for proof of an uprising in the land. After ignoring the chain of assertions I used to provide “evidence,” Foster randomly picks out several links for some routine criticism. He looks at my examples of what a more enlightened planning attitude might mean and asks if a failure to take such actions is “responsible” for the enrollment shifts. This, like many of his assertions, is an impressive rebutal to a point I never made. Left untouched is my contention that a failure to take such actions exposes the unwillingness of the Administration to wrestle free from its enrollment predicament. Foster then brings out the heavy artillery in the numbers way, the fact that even though Management has benefited from the shift in enrollment, it has not benefited in direct proportion; it ought to be gaining even more lines. How can I ignore this? Foster asks. Obviously I cannot, if I am to proceed in this debate with Foster’s respect. I have ignored it so far because it is just the sort of point that becomes overblown with significance, leadeh with calculations derived from a philosophy I believe is flawed at its core. It is the core I wish to debate, not the derivation, which is why I urged the English department to stop focusing on faculty lines as the primary indication of a “trade school” mentality. There are other, more basic Indications, but Bunn, Ketter and now Foster have succeeded in ignoring them. Nevertheless, one may legitimately wonder why Management has not gained recources in proportion to its gains in enrollment. The reason is that ratios are inherently political calculations, as Foster is wall aware. Bunn’s ratios are a product of three things: one—the State’s insistnce on an overall ratio for the campus; two—Bunn’s ideas on how that ratio should be achieved, internally; and three—the latitude, or slack, Bunn has to work with in shifting money afbund. Money represented by Leslie Fiedler's appointment is substantially more difficult to.,shift than fhe money represented by a untenured assistant English professor up for review. Bunn’s ideas for the campus include shifts that would requlrethe axing of tenured faculty in Arts and Letters; but he may fear the political consequences of that drastic step and thus avoid it, leaving Management with fewer lines than the numbers call for. Management claims to see this reluctance as evidence of Bunn’s commitment to maintaining the core disciplines. I see it merely as an intrusion of the third factor cited above, the amount of political slack available to Bunn. Bunn has I think, taken away every faculty line in Arts and Letters that he could get away with, politically. The fact that he couldn’t get away with enough to match shifts in enrollment may be English’s good fortune and Management’s bad fortune, but it is hardly evidence of any commitment to the core disciplines. But Bunn is a smart man, and it is not easy to win an argument with him on this point. Out of self-defense, he constructed a decision-making apparatus that anticipates my charge, which of course has been brought up many times by many different groups. In the Academic Plan, this anticipation takes the form of an emphasis on “the process by which we plan." He has directed debate toward that process and away from the assumptions beneath it, eventually coming out way ahead. But this does not mean that the campus or even Bunn himself, believes in the unwritten assumptions—which may be one reason the Vice President has been on a plane looking for another job several times in the past months. I wrote in my guest opinion that “numbers win arguments now,” in order to show that the ceaseless debate over faculty lines has built-in advantages for Ketter, Bunn and Foster. There are other arguments where numbers have a substantially more difficult time. Howard Foster has shown an unrelenting desire to avoid these other arguments and, worse than that, to claim that he addressed them. He writes: “Neither Arts and Letters nor Mr. Rosen can be afforded the luxury of railing against a lack of vision. They must guide us to that vision in such a way that all the pieces, including the budgetary ones, fit together.” I wholeheartedly agree. My claim is that 10 years of pieces from an Administration installed and dedicated to supressing dissent fit together quite nicely. The vision that has guided this University is a relentlessly conservative one, rooted in the authority which Robert Ketter was charged to assert and which he has chosen to protect—above everything else—as change after change swept through Buffalo. The budgetary pieces Foster is so concerned about jmIII only fit when one begins to place the cumulative effect of the Ketter Administration against the spirit of humanistic education which used to characterize this University. Only then will the conflict between the two appear as something more pronounced than disaffected professors raging against an unfortunate reality. But this is messy stuff; it requires a historical vision of the past as well as the future; it requires a look beneath the management of a yearly predicament. I do not wish to ignore reality; I wish to deepen it. The origins of the trade-school charge are not found in the ratios and numbers of 1979. They rest in the deeper truths that have been kept below the surface of SUNY Buffalo for over a decade. To Howard Foster and many others, such a claim is either a paranoic conspiracy-theory or a passport out of reality’s realm, and that is Robert Ketter’s largest triumph, convincing most of a university that his world is the only real world. _ Jay Rosen cn Process OK, good opportunity To the Editor: Your editorial of October 17th is an awesome combination of an adolescent tantrum and a political diatribe. I hope that most readers have enough sense to laugh at it rather than take it seriously. In case they do not, however, let me for a moment take it seriously and rebut some of your points. The most glaring fault is the complete absence of any recognition that standard review procedure in. scholarly affairs is a peer review process. That is, a proposal or a candidate is evaluated by a group of people familiar with the tasks and duties and problems in question. Peer review governs the allocation of huge funds provided through the National Science Foundation, the National Institutes of Health, the SUNY Research Foundation, and dozens of other granting -agencies. Peer review governs appointments, promotions and tenure at this University as at others. Outside of Ivies halls, peer review governs the selection and evaluation of staff for hospital and operates in most other professions. The new Guidelines for the review of Presidents within SUNY simply extend the principle of peer review to the President. Even though peer review is practical and widespread, the principle can be best defended only indirectly—much as Churchill defended democracy. The principle of peer review is not defensible on the ground that it always yields the right result, only on the ground that every other review principle is inferior. Consider for a moment, for example, whether you would wish to have the staff of Buffalo General Hospital chosen by patients and prospective patients rather than by competent physicians? Or chosen by the Buffalo City Council? Or appointed by the group of solid Buffalo citizens who make up the governing board of the hospital? Or elected democratically in the November ballot?—Just to consider these alternative forms of a review and selection process shows the vast superiority of the principle of peer review. We can’t do without It. The three outside presidents will be people thoroughly familiar with the job of running a large diverse university such as SUNY at Buffalo. It’s absurd to complain against having a qualified evaluation team to review the leadership of our campus, if these people have been university presidents, familiar with the problems and the potentialities of a university situation as well as with the requirements of the office, they can be expected io come up with a sound evaluation of UB and Presideh^Kjatter. It is wrong, too, to the new Guidelines change anyone’s rights. The faculty and the students never have had any right to vote on the President anyway. Since they never were enfranchised, they cannot now be disenfranchised. There is nothing In the Guidelines to suggest that the outside Evaluation Team will not listen to what responsible groups on campus have to say. They are of course limited in time; they cannot afford to listen to an enormous number of people who all say the same thing; there has to be some sort of prior condensation of views, opinions, incidents and other matters to be represented to them. But there is no exclusion of access to the Team or of input to it. We depend simply on the good sense and integrity of the men composing the committee, which is a standard assumption with all forms of peer review. Let me remind you of the composition of the Evaluation Team under the old guidelines. It consisted of one naive faculty member, one naive (and fairly transient) student, one remote and Ill-informed lawyer or businessman (from the UB council), and the President’s designee (neither naive or illinformed). It is true that they would all be local people, but it is silly to suppose that such a motley crew is competent to write an objective evaluation of the University Administration and its academic leadership. It is as silly as authorizing the County Legislature to appoint staff at the Erie County Medical Center. I agree with your attack on the prohibition in the guidelines of the use of constituency input obtained through opinion pools or surveys. It is an affront to students and faculty to dictate to them how they should sound out their colleagues and constituencies. But this is a minor matter: in the first place we don’t need the survey data, and in the second place we will make use of it anyway. In the case of the faculty I will rely more on the extensive interviews over the past three weeks than on the survey. The survey will by useful because of its comprehensiveness in covering all of the faculty and because it permits statistical summaries and analyses; but it lacks depth because it is inevitably limited in the number of questions that can be put. The decision as to Ketter’s tenure will not be made in Buffalo. The decision about his appointment was not made In Buffalo. That means, inevitably, that we cannot control the results. But it does not mean that we cannot have any input into the results. I implore you to think again. I implore you to prepare intelligent input into the evaluation process, to treat the Evaluation Team with the respect which their stature deserves, to regard them as persons of integrity and conscientiousness who are working under limitations of the time, to expedite rather than impede their visit to the campus, and to have confidence that the peer review process deserves suppport even though it occasionally makes mistakes. The chance is too good to throw away. It is only once in five years that we have an opportunity to competent, objective outside review of the campus and its leadership. Let’s take advantage of it. Let’s not throw the chance away by taking cheap shots at the process itself. Newton Garver Chairman, Faculty-Senate - .

The October 14th march, one of the largest political demonstrations of the decade, was not covered by The Spectrum despite massive student involvement and extensive local publicity. Either of these events is disturbing, but taken together they form a pattern of censorship and distortion which does not belong in any newspaper, college or otherwise. A lot of people may feel that gay issues are merely of interest to the gay community. People these days are enjoying an unprecendeted degree of personal freedom; these freedoms are increasingly coming under attack, and may be lost at any moment. The current battle lines are being drawn around gay rights and abortion rights; the Anita Bryant mentality threatens us all. Whatever our sexual or affectional preference, we must have the freedom to live our lives as we choose. During a period when the struggle for gay rights was a central issue in both national and local news, The Spectrum chose to publish an article taken from a national news service without making any effort to contact local sources or to field their own reporters. The article they chose insulted older gays, lesbians, and the many gays who are in stable relationships. By limiting his analysis to stereotypical cliches of gay life (and indeed of non-gay life). Mr. Pearson misleads both non-gays and gays still exploring their own sexuality. His views do not reflect the diversity of gays across the courtry men and women, rural and city, handicapped, third world, young and old. By dismissing the gay liberation movement out of hand, Mr. Pearson isolated himself from the very process of change that he claims is necessary. On October 14th, 1979 over 150,000 people (C.B.C. and D.C. police estimates) marched in Washington in support of gay rights. This was the culmination of a decade of growing awareness of the need for political activism in the gay community. The Buffalo Lesbian/Gay March Coalition, which covered broad spectrum of gay and supportive non-gay sent 250 people to the March by bus, car, and planp. In large part, the March was ignored and/or misreported by the mainstrfam media (which, in this case, seems to include The Spectrum). Contrary to published reports, the rally (which outdrew the Pope) was equally divided between men and women, and included large numbers of deaf, physically challenged, American Indians, Blacks, Chicanos, and other Third World peoples. Anyone who listened to the live National Public Radio coverage of, the rally would have been aware of the solidarity and diversity of the nationwide gay community. Organizing towards the March on Washington has brought together the Buffalo gay activist community. Planned future activities include a pick of Towne Red Hots (long patronized by the gay community) due to censorship of Gay March publicity material and anti-gay statements by the owner; organizing against the blatantly anti-gay movie “Cruising”; and numerous social activities.

In face Jack Pearson's commentary (Re: Wednesday 17th Issue of The Spectrum) was one of the most reactionary commentaries on Gay lifestyles we’ve read recently. Pearson reinforced anti-gay stereotypes totally Ignoring the variety of life-styles in both male and female gay communities. He denied Gay oppression as an objective social force instead ascribing it to be a result of subjective characteristics of Gay People’s mind. Mainly their unexplained desire for separateness from the straight community. We question why The Spectrum chose to cover an issue of such national and local significance in a Back Page commentary that was only marginally related to the march. Knowing the number of participants and supporters from U.B. and the surrounding community we feel it was your responsibility to feature the event. Not only was the march poorly commented upon but the few Editorial notes on it were misrepresentative. The march, for instance, was not composed of 50,000 Gays pressing their own demands but approximately 250,000 Gay and straight people supporting Gay Rights. As straight students concerned with the ongoing struggle for Gay Rights we demand responsible coverage of Gay issues in the future.

If you can come up with the second, you should be proud of your knowledge of geography. And if you know the third, well, I gotta give it to you, you're a real wiz. When less than 15 percent of adult Americans regularly watch the network news and even less comprehensively read a newspaper let alone business or international affairs articles, one wonders if such a thing as a prudent public consensus ever has or ever could begin to develop on the burning political issues of the day, domestic or international. Yet Americans appear to be able to come to snap decisions about issues like Vietnam or the Panama Canal or the presidential performance of Jimmy Carter when approached by public opinion pollsters. We can even arrive at "authoritative" opinions over the merits of American aid and intervention in far flung national liberation conflicts like the 1975 Angolan Civil War, when most of us don't even know This week Fascination focuses on problems and conflicts in a where Angola is, let along the reasons behind the war or the few areas of the underdeveloped or Third World.

Cutter The United States was lectured this month on the plight of the underdeveloped world by two world leaders whose views on most issues diverge greatly. Pope John Paul II and Fidel Castro found common ground in their complaint that the U.S. and other rich, Western nations are not doing enough for the world's poor. John Paul II, in a speech in New York, exclaimed: “I appeal to all who love freedom and justice to give a chance to all in need, to the poor and the powerless.” The Pope went on to attack the rich for maintainint their wealth by monopolizing the resources and energy of the world. Addressing the UN General Assembly two weeks ago Fidel Castro agreed there was “moral obigation” on the part of those who benefited from the plunder of our wealth and the exploitation of men and women for decades and for centuries, to contribute to the development of the Third World. Castro urged the U.S. foreign aid assistance or politics? Castro and Pope make pleas for more help ( 'Mora! obligation' to aid Third World nations Western nations to pay $300 billion over the next ten years to develop poor countries. He explained that common development fund should be set up, under U.N. auspices, and the money administered in the form of grants or low interest loans. Each nation would be entitled to one vote in determining the distribution of the . ■aid “The developed Socialist countries need not contribute to the fund,” Castro said “because the socialist countries did not participate in the plunder of the world and they' arc not responsible for the phenonmenon »f underdevelopment.” Castro also called for the cancellation by the Western nations of the massive $200 billion debt owed them by underdeveloped nations. . -gin Analysis According to The New York Times, Western nations view Castro’s proposals as inpcactical. Western leaders Pops John Paul II Attacks rich for monopolizing resources —Buchanan charge that the Cuban leader was “playing up” to his Third World audience. Timothy Lovain, legislative representative for New Directions, one of the few groups ip Washington lobbying for increased foreign aid, agrees that the proposal is impractical due to the current political realities surrounding foreign aid. Though the Western nations, have committed themselves to giving .07\percent of their GNF in foreign aid, Lovain notes they are giving less. “We have a hard time holding the levfel of aid steady,” the lobbyist complained. In Lorain’s estimation, the unpopularity of fireign aid is due to misunderstandings which exist in this country. He asserts that most people sec foreign aid as a large program when if is in fact small. “Foreign aid is considered to be wasteful," Lovain notes, “but the changes in the program have been quiet and impressive. Foreign aid is doing good.” The Overseas Development Council, (ODC), a Washington-based think-tank, believes that increased levels of foreign aid are needed and that aid can be effective. The ODC has called upon the U.S. to triple its foreign aid allotment. An increase of this magnitude would wipe the scourge of hunger off the face of the earth, the Council predicts. Aid and Politic* The current Congressional budget calls for $8 billion in foreign aid. Only $5 billion of this will actually leave the treasury. The remainder is loan collateral for multilateral banks like the World Bank and the Asian Development Bank. Of the $5 billion in actual outlays, $2 billion in aid is earmarked for Israel and Egypt. Over the last few years the level of U S. aid has remained the same in constant dollars. However, inflation has ripped into the real value of the aid. U S. aid has decreased both as a percentage of our Gross National Product and as a percentage of the federal budget. While there is general agreement over the need for increased foreign aid among Third World advocates, some believe control over aid must be taken out of the hands of Western Nations. Critics of foreign aid have charged that for too long the LKS. has used aid for political purposes. During the Vietnam War great bulk of food aid was used to bolster U.S. military objectives. Billions In U.S. military aid has gone to repressive regimes like the Shah’s Iran and the Phlllipines, supplying dictators with arms and training their military in counter-insurgency techniques. Aid he* been withdrawn by both the U S. and the multilateral agencies to topple -progressive governments like Goulart’s In Brazil in 1964'and Allende’s in Chile in 1972. Lovaln asserts that there is still a heavy political component In the Agency for International Development (AID), one of the major U S. aid efforts. Congress no exception Recently, however, Congress has enacted measures to check widespread political abuse in aid programs. In 1973, Congress passed a provision requiring a minimum level of aid, be given to the poorest of the poor •countries. Despite measures like this, Congress continues to play politics with aid. The House of Representatives recently voted to put restrictions on the fiscal year 1980 Foreign Aid Appropriations Bill. The House decreed the U.S. funds cannot go “directly or indirectly” to Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, Cuba and several other nations. Rovert McNamara, President of the World Bank, believes that if this provision is enacted into law it will destroy the largest single source of economic assistance to 1.25 billion people living in the poorest dcvelopint nations. Agencies like the World Bank are bound by their charters to reject all aid that carries restrictions. If the U.S. fails then the other 25 donor nations will probably balk on their foreign aid packages too. Lovain believes that there is still hope that the Senate will work out a compromise with the House on the question. Negative aspects Although foreign aid does a world of good, it is not without its negative aspects. Leftist critics maintain that foreign, aid fosters trade and investment dependency, upon the donor nation, that it initiates a measure of control over the economies of the developing nations by the West, and that it reinforces the dominance of exploitive elites within each developing nation. Castro's call for independent U N. control over Third World aid programs is designed to eliminate the political and dependency consequences for foreign aid. Lovein agrees that with bilateral aid it is hard to resist the urge to use aid for political purposes. However, he believes it is politically unfeasible to expect the U.S. Congress to relinquish its control over its foreign aid allotments. Critics charge moreover, that foreign aid has led the Third World into a debt trap. Since much of foreign aid has been on a loan basis, the repayments now exceed the inflow of new foreign aid in many cases. Countries like India, Ecuador, Paraguay and the Ivory Coast arc now swamped with outstanding foreign aid debts. This year, Latin America will send the U.S. 85 cents in repayment for every dollar of new bilateral aid. This situation has led Timothy Lovain to exclaim, “The United States is a net recipient of foreign aid.” �Editor’s note: This is the first of a three part Series on South Africa. Below Reg Gilbert examines the Bdntustan or black homeland policy which the white government implementing. of South Africa has been busy by R. Gilbert Southern Africa blackens with each passing day. The remaining politically white dominated countries on the African continent number only three: Rhodesia (Zimbabwe); Southwest Africa'(Namibia); and South Africa Throughout the area armed guerilla activity increases monthly. Zimbabwe (population 250,000 whites, four million blacks), surrounded on three sides by hostile black states, now has a black prime minister and legislature, though control over the all important military, and crucial aspects of the legislative process remain in the hands of whites. Apartheid there is dissolving, and the guerilla war is continuing. Half of Namibia (population one million) is under martial law, and the liberation movement, SWAPO, is able to strike at will. Occupation of the country by 20,000 South African soldiers continues unabated, as docs the guerilla resistance, based in Angola immediately to the north. Angola was freed from Portuguese colonialism only in 1975. And South Africa. The strongest and seeming most impregnable of the entrenched white regimes is finally experiencing the long feared guerilla siege. But for the first time in its history, South Africa’s response has not been more brutal military repression, bannings, and torture, but the offering of concessions to the huge black majority (outnumbering whites five to one in this country of 26 million).

Can the U.S. help, as the Carter administration insists, by not backing the beleaguered South African whites into a corner with threats of disinvestment and economic boycott? In short, will slow reforms lead to the end of apartheid in South Africa? Simply stated, no. For many reasons South Africa, for its white citizens, is a parliamentary democracy with a free press. But South African political and economic life really centers around apartheid, appropriately pronounced apart-hate. Defined officially as separate development, apartheid is a long-term political plan dividing South Africa into eleven separate says, " countries. One, white South Africa, comprises 87 percent of the land area in present day South Africa, all its major cities, industries and mines, and most of South Africa’s known mineral reserves.

With few jobs in the overcrowded BantusWns, subsistence farming is often the only means of survival. Health care is poor or nonexistent. UNESCO estimated In 1970 that one half of all black children die before the age of six. Where black families are permitted to live in white South Africa, as in Soweto near Johannesburg, a woman’s right of residence is based on her employment, or that of her husband. Should he lose his job, die, or divorce her, she and her children could be “endorsed out.” Additionally, women in the Bantustans often face the white South African enforcement of its false notion of “tribal custom” regarding women; they are allowed no legal or property rights and must be specifically bound to a husband or male relative-guardian. Finally, the byzantinc determination of one’s race in South Africa commonly leads to the forced separation of mother, children, husband, and parents to prevent mixing of the races or tribes. If fundamental change is coming to South Africa, it must be reflected in Bantustan policy, the cornerstone, in'fact of the entire edifice of apartheid. Following the internationally publicized months of strikes and rioting in Soweto. South Africa has accelerated its Bantustan independence timetable. Concessions were granted the Soweto students in 1976 and 77. In 1978 the new Prime Minister, P.W. Botha broadened these concessions. But what docs Botha think about the Bantustans and apartheid in general? “1 do not believe in power sharing, but power division .” In other words, not half a loaf, but crumbs.

How will you be viewing the elections in 1980? NYERERE: Our position is always that elections in the United States affect our interests, and therefore we shall give it keen interest. But let me put it this way (and I hope there will be no misunderstanding about it): The United States is capitalist. It is imperialist. It’s a superpower. Hegemonic. The moral stature which was pUt forward by President Carter made life very easy for us because here is a person you can sit down and talk to and he will understand what you are talking to him about, and if we say, “We are not fighting for communism in Southern Africa,” he will understand that we are not fighting for communism. If I differ with him he will not think that I have horns. So, it can make personal relations easier. I’m not sure it makes all that much difference in policies. Policies are the policies of the power structure of the United States. And so, we of the Third World naturally always take an interest in the elections of your country and who is going to be elected, but if the United States is disappointing the Third World, the problem cannot be Carter. The problem is the system. I don’tknow whether one is being fair or not, but 1 say a good President makes life easier for us. Because you can sit down; you can discuss. But the problems of Tanzania will remain the same. The problems of the Third World will remain the same. Why? Not because of the person who is "in the White House, but because of the power structure of the United States. And this will continue, elections or no elections. Q,; The Carter Administration—even the progressive wing represented by Andrew Young—has actively supported South African investment. How have you viewed the Carter South Africa policy? NYERERE; We have discussed this problem, and 1 have not agreed with the Carter Administration. You see, there arc two rationales given for continued investment in South Africa. The first is democracy. They say it would be undemocratic to force companies to do something they don’t want to do. And the people do not support opposition to apartheid, so it would be undemocratic to force them to. But this is using democracy as an excuse to justify evil. Because you sec, if democracy was really the issue, then the President would say to the people, “Look here, we have a problem in South Africa, and I want your support on this.” And so this government must carry out an education process to educate their people that it is wrong, it is immoral to support an immoral government in South Africa with investments. I see no education. Just the excuse that we are a democratic state. Secondly, they argue that those investments 'will do good for the Africans in South Africa. That, in actual fact, if you stop them ft is the Africans that are going to suffer. I say those Africans arc suffering enough. Well, inflict that little additional suffering also. Or, if you are really doing it for the good of the Africans, then don’t remove those dividends, just pass them to the Fredom Fighters. Really, investing in South Africa is blood money.

Q.: Turning to Rhodesia, many Western observers predict that that country faces years of civil war after majority rule is placed in power. The scenario calls for fighting between the forces of Nkomo, Mugabe and Muzorewa. And this outlook becomes a sort of “benevolent” rationale for continued Western involvement in Zimbabwe—to prevent civil war. What do you think of ihis outlook? And the civil war projections? NYERERE: I must say that it is a great concern for me. I will confess I don’t like the fact that there are two armies fighting in Zimbabwe. No liberation—no country—has had two armies. You can’t have a country with two armies! But you know ZAPU and ZAND are fond of the British parliamentary model. I say to them, “LocJk, if you follow the British model, then yo.u must have only one army because Britain has only one army.” I have told them they must overcome this problem, and we have discussed it until I think they don’t even want to hear from me anymore. But the situation has not changed. I am concerned about this, and I think if the West is concerned about this as well, then this is a good concern on the part of the West. It isn’t a justification to meddle in the country’s affairs, but it is reason for concern..: Before we Idok at the rational course of development in the post-colonial period, I wonder if we could look at developm’ent gone astray. Where do the Idi Amins and Emperor Bokassas come from? What do they represent historically in terms of postcolonial development for Africa? NYERERE: Sometimes I think I, also, am a racist. When a Bokassa behaves as a Bokassa I feel bad When Amin behaves a? Amin, 1 feel bad. There is a sense in which I am also like those blessed racists who point to Bokassa or Amin and say, ‘‘Ah! look at Black Africa," But they don’t point to Hitler and say, “This is a white man.” Or to Salazar or Franco and say, “This is a white man.” They simply say, “This is Hitler This is Franco This is Salazar But with Africa they generalize. They say, “Sec what is happening in Africa?” I could just as easily point to Portugal and say, "Sec what is happening in Europe?” So you say what doesBokassa represent? Bokassa is a tyrant. Amin is a tyrant. And the world has had tyrants. They never started in Africa. Bokassa’s hero was Napoleon. Amin quoted Hitler. So what is peculiar about the tyrant in Africa? To put it the other way around, also, I would be claiming a superior position for Africa if Africa never produced any tyrants at all. I don't claim any superior position for Africans. We’re not saints. We produce tyrants. My real problem—what I've been complaining about, is the tendency among Africans to feel shy in front of these tyrants, to not denounce them as tyrants. An African feels ashamed wherv he sees a tyrant instead of being angry. So 1 don’t think it’s a development issue in Africa any more than in Europe, Latin America, Asia. All these continents have had their tyrants These are not racialist tyrants. They are just tyrants of history! Q : You’ve chosen to follow socialist paths of development for the Third World, not just in Africa. Tanzanian socialism is obviously different from other forms. How would you describe its ideology? NYERERE; 1 would describe our ideology as socialist. That’s all. We re fighting against capitalism, all of us. We’re trying to establish, I hope, just societies, healthy relationships between individuals We’ve started from different bases. 1 am not a Marxist. 1 do accept the economics of Marxism. I do not accept sojrie of the philosophies of Marxism. But even the economics have some difficulty. Classically, Marxism is a socialism of the rich. It is a socialism which starts with highly developed capitalism, a highly developed proletariat. At present it is the United States, under Marxism, which is really ripe for socialism. My problem is, having accepted socialism as the right development for my country, whether 1 should nurture capitalism until I have the proletariat. In Tanzania the dominant class is not the proletariat, it’s the peasants. Socialism here will have to be built using peasants. We have not inherited anything created by capitalism. We have to create wealth here. And so starting from a different base, our methodology is likely to be different. But I hope the objective is going to be the same. I hope we shall succeed with different methods to establish humane societies where human beings can live as human beings and not just be dominated by property. Property was never intended to dominate human beings. Property was always intended to serve human beings. Wealth never was intended to live side by side with poverty, ever. Wealth was always intended to discover what light is to darkness; where there is wealth, poverty disappears; where there is light, darkness disappears .But capitalism succeeds to work out this miracle—that wealth can live side by side with poverty, because wealth is used as power. Socialism with poverty—equality with poverty—is a big problem. And so socialists have accepted the language of affluence. I think this is a shame. Because that is where Europe stood. I am still using the same kind of language, as if the wealth was there. It is not there. We have got to so create this wealth. Q.: Tanzania has sought a course of agricultural development and selfreliance. How would you look at the strategy that you have been following so far? NYERERE: We can feed ourselves because of our land distribution. We do not have landlords. We arc a peasant country. The peasants have land, and they can grow what they like. Therefore, if the rains are all right, you can trust the peasants will produce all the food that they need, and enough surplus for the small urban and service population of Tanzania. So that gives us a base from where we can move. But structurally, farming has not changed. Technologically, farming has not changed. Therefore, our agriculture cannot support a rapidly growing industrialization. We must industrialize. But if the rtlomcntum of industrialization was to pick up, become rapid, before our farming has become more efficient, we would run into trouble. And that is our next stage, which is making this farming produce more good surplus of food and also raw materials for our industries. The problem we have now really is the major problem of the international community. This year we are consuming less oil than we consumed in 1972. But we are paying nine times as much for it. You can’t call a country “developing” when today it is consuming less oil than it was seven years ago. The only reason why we're not collapsing is also because of some of our agricultural successes I’ve been talking about. Otherwise, quite frankly, a country like this could just cojlapse. But this year I am going to spend half of our export earnings on oil, it is not going to be very easy to pay for the improvement of our farming techniques which we need. This is a vital problem of all Third World countries, the non-oil producing countries. ” A COMMUTER BREAKFAST Open To ALL Students.

Indians seek stolen land; shun U S. bucks by Jon Stewart and Peter Wiley ■■ Jitterbug, shimmy, ballet Ballet Shoes and Adidas... . . . . That’s the Twyla Tharp Dance Company Thursday. October 25 at 8:00 pm Katharine Cornell Theater Ellicott' Lecture-Performance Admission $2.00 Squire Box Office Presented by Office of Cultural Affairs - (PNS)—A South Dakota mining company executive, whose operation nets some $5 million a year on land claimed by the Sioux tribes, scoffs bitterly at the suggestion that the land might be returned to the Indians: “Sure, it was taken away from them more than a hundred years ago by a treaty violation. So wets most of the state. So now they want it back. Not just the mine, but my house and everybody else’s, too.” To many Americans, the recent spate of huge Indian land claims and a number offavorable court decisions on Indian resource rights suggest that the once great Indian nations arc making a comeback. Indians have gone on the “Uwpathi” say the headlines, to win back their sovereignty and their land, including huge portions of some states. But a review of actual Indian land disputes in recent years reveals a much more somber, less glamorous, reality. With one exception, the actual amount of land that has been regained by Indian tribes is hardly enough to constitute a medium-sized city park. “You will find a great deal of litigation” concerning land claims, says Steven Tullberg, an associate of the Indian Law Resource Center in Washington, D C., “but not much in the way of victory.” False Impressions Tullberg’s colleague. Center director Tim Coulter, adds: “All the media stories in the last few years about Indians taking over the state of Maine and half of New York have given a false impression. Thcrg have been no meaningful victories in the field of Indian affairs.” Government statistics bear this out. The American Indian Policy Review Commission in 1977 found that over the preceding 40 years the government had spent $5 million to acquire 500,000 acres for Indian tribes. But during the same period, tribes lost 1.8 million acres for a variety of reasons. According to Lou White of the Bureau of Indian Affairs’ real estate office, tribal land holdings as of the end of August 1979 totalled about 41.5 million acres, plus nearly IQ million acres held bf individual Indians and in Indian trust. That is roughly one million acres less than Indians held in 1934, at the dawn of President Roosevelt’s “Indian New Deal,” a series of programs that were supposed to consolidate and expand Indian land. The land base, said White, has been "fairly constant. It fluctuates with the policy of the times. Now the policy is to help Indians acquire land.” That may be the policy, but the reality has yet to show it. Aside from an 1,800 acre parcel awarded this year to the Narragansett Indians in Rhode Island, the only sizeable Indian land victory has been the 44,000 acres returned to the Taos Indians of New Mexico in 1970 Whatever the stated policy of the B1A, the government remains determined Jo “buy out” Indian land claims with cash settlements which reflect a mere 1 fraction of the modern value of the land. , , The best documented example of how the government has dealt with Indian land claims is the case of the Hopis. The Indian Law Resource Center recently completed a study of Hopi traditional leaders’ efforts to regain land guaranteed to the tribe by an 1882 treaty. The tribe had suffered the loss of millions of a'cres of their original reservation by the gradual encroachment of white -settlers and their more numerous Navajo neighbors. In the early 1950s the tribe was persuaded by its attorney, John Boyden, to file a claim for their lost land. Boyden suggested that they could get some land restored, as well as monetary compensation for the rest. But Boyden, an accomplished lawyer in Indian affairs, knew that the government mechanism for settling the claim, the Indian Claims Commission, was not empowered to return land to Indians. By federal law, which Boydcn’s former partner, Ernest Wilkinson, had helped to write, the Commission could only buy out land claims with cash settlements. Typically, the prices, which were determined by the Commission, reflected the value of the land at the time it was “lost,” usually in the 19th century. Whites seek water rights Consequently, the Hopis, who had expected to win back some I«t4 instead had to settle for $5 million for the four milk«n acres they lost, much of which is known to contain vahtaMs mineral deposits. The claims law also calls for the tribe’s legal counsel to receive up to 10 percent of the land settlement, meaning Boyden received $500,000 for persuading the Hopis to, , WILKESON PUB GETTING IT ON FOR THE STUDENTS COMING ATTRACTIONS 2 HALLOWEEN NIGHTS prizes for best costumes both nights 10/30 BUDWEISER BEGGAR’S PARTY free Bud T-shirts 10/31 YAGO SANGRIA PARTY free gifts given away late night menu SUBS, PIZZA, TACOS, WINGS INI 2:30 am weekends Friday & Saturday till 1:30 am weakly Try Our Giant Slaak Hoagies Indians want land not cash “The basic way the U S. has operated is to extinguish aboriginal title by purchase,” said Kirk Kicking Bird, counsel for the Indian Policy Review Commission and author of a book on Indian lands. “This is more expedient and costs' less than war.” But the problem, for the government, is that increasing numbers of tribes are no longer willing to accept the cash settlements. Traditional Indian leaders, particularly, are winning wide support among their tribes for the notion that Indians have a sacred responsibly to hold and protect the land for future generations. “If we give up our land, we are giving up ourselves as a tribe,” said Thomas Banyacya, spokesman for the traditional Hopi leaders of Arizona. Other Indian leaders, less spiritually inclined, argue that there is vast wealth in uranium, coal and other ores, including gold, under much of the aboriginal land. One Sioux leader in South Dakota recently suggested that -Indians there should have a share in the gold profits coming out of the Black Hills, where Homestake Mining Company operates the largest gold mine in the Western hemisphere on land taken illegally from the Indians by General Custer. The Sioux claim is one of the largest land claims ever filed. The government has acknowledged that the various Sioux tribes have a rightful claim to some 55 million acres, including the Black Hills, and has offered a cash settlement totalling $149 million. But so far, the tribes have refused to accept the payment. Elections among the tribes will be conducted soon to settle the question, but opposition appears to be running high. White settler encroachment The Department of Interior recently released documents under a Freedom of Information suit in effect, sell their claim According to a conservative estimate by the Indian Law Resource Center, Indian claims lawyers—ail of them white—have netted some $60 million in legal fees for theirroles in “extinguishing” land claims. This earned the claims law the epithet “the Indian Lawyers’ Welfare Act.” “The law became an incentive for lawyers to prove how much the Indians no longer owned,” commented an attorney who has represented two tribes in efforts to avoid the government buy-out. - • .A In a claim case involving the Goshiute Indians in Nevada, tribal leaders who opposed accepting the claim fired their attorney and refused to take the money the attorney was paid, his share of the settlement by the government, though no money has yet been paid to the unwilling tribe. A similar situation persists among Nevada’s Western Shoshone, who refused to accept payment for land on which the Pentagon is reportedly eager to build MX nuclear missle sites. The claims formula—the extinguishment of title by cash buy-outs— has in most cases proven successful from the government point of view. During the 32-ycar lifetime of the Indian Claims Commission it paid out some $800 million for Indian land claims. Attorney Kicking Bird estimates that 95 percent of the public domain lands were purchased from Indians, much of it through the Claims Commission extinguishments. • \ Indian Lawyers’ Welfare Act? The track record of the Commission on obtaining title to Indian lands has led a new generation of claims attorneys to consider trying a similar approach to getting rights to Indian water, the key to future energy development in the West. But the growing opposition to accepting payments tor land or water among many tribes could create a sizeable quandary: Can the government buy out a claim that Indians say is not for sale? �60%OFF Warning: blow drying hair may cause cancer £ljc JCeUr JJork(times (Newsstand Price) AND WE MAKE THE DONATION TO THE UNITED WAY by Brenda J. Williams Spectrum Staff Writer The Consumer Product Safety (CPSC) is scrutinizing hair dryers produced by several major brand name companies. The dryers are suspected to contain the cancercausing agent asbestos. Some companies whose products are made with asbestos include: Scars Roebuck & Company, Schick Inc., Conair, J.C. Penney Co., Hamilton Beach, Montgomery Ward, Clairol and Korvettes. Abby Fritz of the CPSC said that there are other products besides blow dryers containing asbestos, such as “toasters, ovens, ironing board covers, gloves and even some parts of cars. I could go on forever naming products,” she said. Ten to 13 million hand-held dryers are manufactured each year. Seventy-five percent of this total ends up in U.S. households. At least 12.5 million—or 25 to 40 percent —of the imported blow dryers have the asbestos heating shields. It is estimated that about SO million of these dryers are still in use despite some manufacturers ‘recall’ attempts. The Bonat Company’s “Rocket Blower” was found to emit three times the amount of asbestos fibers than the CSPC considers safe. On September 20, 1979, Bonat voluntarily announced the recall of its Rocket Blowers. The Rocket Blower is a professional salon-style hair dryer. The majority of an estimated 500 Bonat dryers in use throughout the country are used in salons for black patrons in the Metropolitan areas of New York City, Washington, D.C., and Baltimore, according to one spokesman. An official from Bonat’s distribution office said, “To the best of my knowledge none of these dryers have been sold in the Buffalo area.

INC. replacing the asbestos heating shields with a material called Mica.” Asbestos, a cancer-causing agent, presents a potential health hazard because the blowing action of dryers spews the asbestos fibers into the air. Once airborne, these fibers can be inhaled and become lodged in the lungs, eventually causing cancer. - How to check Asbestos exists in the atmosphere, but at such low levels that it presents a negligible health problem. Blow dryers with asbestos heating shields that emit less than or equal the amount of asbestos in the atmosphere (1 per cubic centimeter) are considered “safe.” Last March, the CPSC began further tests on the danger of asbestos after one testing firm concluded that chrysotile asbestos was the predominant fiber used in blow dryers. The fiber emission rates were proportional to the age and wear of the asbestos material used,” said Karen O’Brien of CPSC If in doubt as to whether a dryer contains asbestos, there is an easy way to check. Look down the nozzle of the blow dryer. If a greyish, cardboard material is wrapped inside, it is probably asbestos.

Squire House Council, UB Gay Lib Many gays maintain that they are inclined to seclude themselves from social events and many times forced to act out a double role so as not to be “discovered.” One woman who did not wish to be identified, said,“It is rough enough finding oneself, but when there are two personalties involved, things get all the more complicated. Terrifying terms “Remember when all your girlfriends were talking about the problems they were having with their boyfriends? It is kind' of awkward to ask what one should about a difficult situation with a lover.” She added, “When I was with my lover in public, so many times 1 would want to give her a hug or kiss on the cheek but felt socially stifled, so I forced myself to hold my affections in.” One of the biggest fears gays face relates to the negative image society tacks onto the term “homosexual.” “I was so afraid of being a flasher, a child molester or a man with a lispy voice,” recalled Foxenburg. He said his own admittance of his sexual attitudes—cognizant of the Stereotypes—was delayed. The adjectives attached to ‘‘gay” he called “terrifying,” explaining that the picture built up in his mind only added fear to frustration. “After my first homosexual experience I never became that which 1 had feared and realized all the more, how powerfully ' _ manipulating society’s pressures can be,” he said. Another difficult social pressure cited by many gays is a looking place for to live —comfortably. It is important to live in an atmosphere where housemates or roommates feel at ease with each other’s way of life.

The iccrs finished last season with a 15-12 record and advanced to the playoffs. Consistent power Elmira College defeated the Bulls in the first round of postseason action, 4-2, to close out the 1978 campaign. The Bulls’ roster no longer features the talents of Ed Patterson or Bricn Grow, who have graduated. Patterson, last year’s captain, contributed superb skating, passing and scoring that enabled him to lead by example. He has returned to the 1979 Bulls to serve as assistant coach. However, Crow’s selfless passing and setting up abilities will be sorely missed on the ice. But UB coach Ed Wright is not worried about this season’s prospects, and in fact is boastful of having lost only two players to graduation. “I’m looking to the upcoming season with optimism,” Wright said. “This club is a close-knit bunch of individuals. which helped make up for our lack of experience last year.” The bulk of the squad is made up of upper classmen, prompting the coach to speculate that UB will be ready to join the ranks of perennial standouts Elmira and Plattsburgh State at the pinnacle of Division II . . competition. Confused defense Admittedly the Bulls biggest weakness last season was the defensive unit. Often reacting to pressure in the way ants behave when their home has been stepped on, UB’s defensemen failed to properly protect goalie Bill Kaminska. But Kaminska—who last March was selected as one of the six netminders to survive bastern Regional tryouts for the 1980 U.S. Olympic team—is the first to point out the defense’s improved look. “We have a really strong defense,” he assessed. “They’ll cut down on our goals against, at least one or two a game. Rich MacLean is a typical collegiate defenseman—he likes to skate with the puck, but also takes care of his position. “We’re going to have a really good year, we’re going to win a lot of games,” Kaminska predicted enthusiastically. “All the returning players now have a year more of experience. Plus I think I’m going to have a good year. I feel good this year.” He contends that his progress in the Olympic trials has instilled new confidence in him, and his loss of five pounds over the summer will allow him to be quicker between the posts. Starting next to MacLean on defense will be newcomer Clayton Watters. The only Canadian-born player on the Bulls’ squad, Watters transferred here from Canton Tech, where he excelled. Talented addition “He was a junior college All-American last, year,” Wright revealed. “He’s a good solid defenseman, a ’heady’ blueliner. He’s not too quick but he moves the puck very well.” Buffalo will feature the core of last year’s defense. The aggressiveness of Dennis Gruarin and Pete Dombrowski and the smooth playmaking and hard shooting abilities of John •Sucese will again be on display. “All in all, we have a solid defense,” Wright summed up. ‘We’ll probably be able to give the opposing forwards more freedom, so we can break up ice faster. We have the players to bail us out in difficult situations.” The Bulls may need to set up their offense faster than last Season ends for tennis Royals by Betsy DelleBovi Spectrum Staff Writer Coach Connie Camnitz’ tennis Royals psyched themselves up for their trip to the New York State Championships in Rochester, by displaying a' sparkling finish to their regular season action last Thursday. The Royals briskly shut out Buffalo State, 7-0, elevating their final team record to 8-4. UB competed in the State championships on Saturday, and earned a total of five points—mainly through the efforts of standout Debbie DiCarlo. Single winners in Thursday’s match included DiCarlo, who slapped a 6-0, 6-0 loss on Buffalo State’s Mary Zeitlin and quick-footed Dee Dee Fisher, who netted a 6-4, 6-0 victory over Mary Shrciber. Buffalo’s Heidi Juhl continued her winning ways, producing a 6-1, 6-2 win. Kitty Higgens and Sue Rury also aided UB’s shutout with 6-2, 6-2 and 6-3, 6-4 triumphs respectively. The Royals’ two doubles teams also produced conquests, allowing no Buffalo State threat to dent their racquets. Fust doubles combo Lynda Stidham and Carol Waddell dropped only one game, netting a 6-1, 6-0 Anal. Buffalo’s Lynne Kirchmaier and Sharon Wolsky, the second doubles team, prolonged their immaculate 9-0 log with a 6-0, 6-0 victory. Looking back This match ended regular season play, leaving the athletes with an impressive standing going into the Saturday’s championships. Individually, the women power hitters appeared strong for the State contests. Leading the team statistically, freshman star DiCarlo completed her first season of collegiate tennis with a flaming 11-2 record. Fisher ended her active season impressively, at 11-3, while Juhl completed competition with a magnificent 12-2 standing. Waddell, Higgens and Rury also contributed to UB’s successful season, compiling 13 wins collectively. Buffalo’s doubles teams stood out from their opponents statistically. Stidham and Waddell, teamed up to produce an 8-1 overall record while Kirchmaier and Wolsky boasted a 9-0 talent show. Traveling to Rochester for the State championships last weekend were team members DiCarlo, Fisher, Stidham, Waddell, Kirchmaier and Wolsky “Debbie DiCarlo lasted the longest in the States,” explained Camnitz. ‘Out of the five points Buffalo earned in the finals, DiCarlo earned fourand-one-half.” Seeded number 12 in the tourney, DiCarlo triumphed over Union College, 6-1,6-0, while also out-hitting Vassar netter Val Martinez who was seeded number two in the competition. The Buffalo star finally fell to the top seeded player, Michelle Langdon of St. Lawrence, 6-3, 6-3. Competing in the consolation matches, DiCarlo overpowered Rochester’s Cathy Picat, 6-1, 6-2 and bowed to Syracuse star Nina Dubin, 4-6, 6-4, 76. Fisher put up a fight against a strong Skidmore College tennis star but to no avail, as the number five seeded athlete took the match, 6-2, 6-2. Fisher’s strength and endurance on the court will be a vital factor in next year’s success, when the UB captain will be a senior. The Royal’s first doubles team lost in the first round of the finals to Skidmore, 6-0, 6-1. UB’s second doubles combo lost to Binghamton, 6-3, 6-0, but bounced back in the consolation round, readily defeating Union College, 6-1. 4-6. 7-6, “We showed great net play,” boafced Woisky. “It was really a great match.” Buffalo will return numerous experienced players next season. “We wish we could start the season right now,” admitted Camnitz. ‘We only have three girls graduating (Rury, Higgens, and Waddell).” " year, as the attack will probably not be as effective. “Goal scoring is going to be suspect this year," admitted co-captain Tom Wilde, who hit the opposing twine 31 times last season, finishing with a team-high 54 points. “We’ll have to be at least as balanced as last year on offense,” Wilde added. “But the lines look good—there’s good skaters and hitters. We’re going to have to play the body more to win this season.” Scorers supreme Wilde will again play left wing for the top line, customarily dubbed the “red” line. Joining him at center will be newcomer Chris Weinholtz, a sophomore transfer from Buffalo State (originally from Plattsburgh State). Another second-year performer, John Gallagher, will occupy the right wing position. In limited action last year, Gallagher, a consummate hitter, contributed 12 points to the attack. Co-captain Paul Narduzzo, Gabe Rigler and Keith Sawyer are the odds-on to make up the second line. The Bulls will take the home ice at the Tonawanda Icetime (formerly the Sports Center) on November 10, when they host Colgate. “That’ll be the biggest game of the season,” voiced cocaptain Narduzzo. “We better be ready for them. They’re Division I. They have basically fast skaters and a lot of size. They’re used to open ice and freewheeling. We’ll have to stop them with hitting.” The icers start the campaign with an away game at Kent State this Saturday. UB has never lost to Kent State, but the two teams have not seen each other in four years. Colgate will undoubtedly be the big game. “Colgate has a huge physical team,” Wright described. "We’ll just have to make them work for everything. We have the talent and the attitude—1 wouldn’t be surprised to, see us beat our first Division I club ever.” I -0 shutout Bulls nip Bonnies in home finale The UB soccer Bulls finished tbeMiome season with* a less than impressive 1-0 shutout of the St. Bonaventurc Brown Indians on Saturday. Buffalo co-captain Eddie Sorkin and Avni Cirpili combined for the only tally of the game late in the first half. The play featured a crushing drive from the left side off Serkin’s foot. The Bonnies’ goalie could not hang onto it. CirpiH was right in position to boot home the rebound. Except for Sorkin’s goal, the first half was a sleeper. Muddy field conditions marred attempts at successful plays. The Bulls spent most of the period in the Indians’ end, but could not muster any real threat. Midway through the half an illegal St. Bonaventure play and subsequent the Buffalo retaliation enlivened the game and the fans. A Bonnie halfback hit Aviar Bustante with a late kick to the shins. A few minutes later the gesture was returned. Bustante received a yellow card—signalling a final warning before ejections—|>ut 03 started to press the goal more. Under the racous chants of “Junior” from the home fans, Mark Celeste stymied any Indians’ chance for a score. His solid goaltending kept UB in the lead as the Bulls spent most of the second half in their own end. shots on goal were discouraging.” Mark Celeste downplayed game in the nets fine his by observing, “I didn’t face any really tough shots. Most of the More goals coach Sal ‘Esposito was not pleased by the turnaround in his team’s play. “We should have gonein, played aggressively and scored three or four more goals,’’ the coach observed. “The team seemed to want to drop back and sit on the one goal lead instead of pressing,” he said, adding, “the shots either rolled in or broke through the defense, so they were slowed down.” Immediately after the game, Sorkin could be found among a circle of friends celebrating the victory. Smothered in mud, and with cold Utica Club streaming down his head, he joked, “t’m too emotionally drained to say anything.” Following the win, Esposito made it a point to thank the fans, singling out the TKE fraternity, for their great support at every home game.

The Office of Recreational Programming is working on a plan that may get students off the streets and onto a “Parcours,” a French term referring to a two mile exercise field.

At each station there will be a sign describing the exercise and the recommended number of exercises for the novice, intermediate, and advanced levels. Equipment purchased Miller said, “they have been in existence in the United States since 1973 or ’74. They started out west and in progressed municipalities, schools, and pace. “The first few stations are corporations.” At UB, the designed to loosen you up, so we “Parcours” was introduced by a might have you do some achilles faculty member of the Department stretches and knee lifts, those types of Recreation, Athletics, and of things,” explained Director of Related Instruction (RAI).

The equipment will be housed in the Ellicott complex and will be rented to students, faculty and staff. Matching Grant Miller said the equipment will be “for use on and off campus but if it’s used on campus, we would prefer it is used on existing trails.’’ The ski trails, which run through and around to the west of Ellicott are being marked. The “Parcours” will also be used as a ski trail. Rental camping equipment is expected to create interest in offshoot programs. Miller explained that the rental service would hopefully have a resource library with maps and descriptions of various camping areas. In addition he foresees camping trip boards —if interest warrants —as well as skill development lectures, workshops, xlinics, and seminars. The bulk of funding for the projects came from the Attrition/Retention Committee, which was supplied with $25,000 to raise the quality of student life at UB. According to Miller “one of the problems (the committee identified) was that there was little or nothing to do on the individual level. If you wanted to do something — athletically speaking—without worrying about getting graded, you couldn’t.” The “Parcours” has also received additional financial support. A matching grant of $2,500 has been allocated by the University Committee on Innovative Construction. Micheals explained it was to provide a basis for interest in innovative sports oriented activities.

McGlinn, “It makes fun of a tragic case.” Bob Geldof, ex-rock critic mastermind of the Boomtown Rats, claims the song does not exploit” the Spencer incident, but rather attempts “to understand why it happened.” Actually, it neither adds fire, makes fun nor attempts to understand.

Although they all write together in the sense that they all contribute whatever and whenever they’re so inclined Chapman-Cleese are most partners while Terry Jones and often Michael Palin frequently write together, and Eric Idle usually writes alone; Terry Gilliam, the graphic artist, also writes —and co-directed, with Jones, Holy Grail. We’d never know any of this if they didn’t occasionally break down and confess, as there are no clues to their individual contributions listed in their television series or albums. Their films list them in their various guises, but as these are usually disguises, it’s still difficulty to tell one from the other. There are still some devoted Python fans who can’t tell Jones from Palin: Jones is short with dark hair and likes to remove his clothes; Palin has lighter hair, is also short and is usually but not always clothed; Palin has hosted Saturday Night Live and starred in with friend Bernard McKenna the best-forgotten Jabherwocky.

A technology of protection from Hi frequency loss and of extreme reliability. Later we are going to offer you valuable bribes, Just for testing these cassettes, risk free; so read onl YOUR TIME IS PRECIOUS Imagine yourself Just finishing recording the second side of a 90 minute cassette and horrors, the cassette Jams. Tape is wound around the capstan, your recorder may be damaged and you’ve just wasted 90 minutes of your time and perhaps lost a great recording off FM. Enter DAK. We manufacture over one million units of cassette tape each month in our factory. Many of our tapes are used for high speed duplication where they are recorded at speeds up to 8 times normal. This is the ultimate stress for cassettes and causes more failures than any other use. When we first started, 12 years ago, DAK’s cassettes failed, just like many others. So we installed over $20,000 worth of high speed duplication equipment at our factory and set out to design the perfect cassette. MOLYSULFIDE Failure after failure. For six years we substituted, remade, tested and retested until we positively linked the major cause of cassette failure to the slip sheets, or liners in the cassette. Evidently, 3M and TDK were hot on our heels, because they have now also come out with new liners. We developed polyester slip sheets with raised spring loaded ridges to guide each layer of tape as it winds. We coat the liners with a unique formulation of graphite and a new chemical, molysulfide. Molysulfide reduces friction several times better than graphite and allows'the tape to move more freely within the cassette. The molysulfide is tougher and makes the liner much more resistant to wear. HI frequency protection! Tape is basically plastic, and as it moves within the cassette internal friction causes the build up of static electricity, much as rubbing a balloon against your hair, or scuffing your shoes on a carpet in dry weather. Static electricity within the cassette was drastically reduced by the low friction of the molysulfide and easily bled off, so that its tendency to erase very high frequencies was drastically reduced. A very important consideration for often played tapes. MAXELL IS BETTER Yes, honestly, if you own a $1000 cassette deck like a Nakamici, the fre- quency responses of Maxell UOXL or TDK SA are superior to OAK and you Just might be able to hear the difference. DAK ML has a frequency response that is flat from 40cps to 14,500 ±3db. Virtually all cassette recorders priced under $600 are flat ±3db from 40cps to about 12,000cps, so we have over 2000cps to spare, and you’ll probably never notice the difference. No apology. We feel that we have equaled or exceeded the mechanical reliability of virtually all cassettes and offer one of the best frequency responses in the industry. Maxell UDXL is truly the Rolls Royce of the industry, and DAK is comparable to the 100% US made Cadillac or Corvette! Price DAK manufactures the tape we sell. You avoid paying the wholesaler and retailer profits. While Maxell UDXL 90s may sell for $3.50 to $4.50 each at retail, DAK ML90s sell factory direct to you for only $2.19 each complete with deluxe boxes and index insert cards.

Now we hear it again, only more so: Tony Sanchez lays out a tawdry, perverse world of the Rolling Stones in a gossipy, questionable book titled Up and Down with the Rolling Stones (William Morrow, $8.95) that is certain to make just about everyone sick to his or her stomach. The main thing we learn by reading Sanchez’s account of the band from the early Sixties to Mick’s wedding to Bianca is that the human body can ingest all sorts of death-inducing drugs and still defy the grim reaper. Chapter and verse on just about every illegal substance known to man is recited in gross detail until 1 wanted to cry uncle. Apparently Sanchez worked for Keith and his common-law wife, Anita Fallen berg, for a number of years, mainly as a gofer and procurer; when one reporter asked the Stones’ publicist who Sanchez really was, Paul Wasserman replied cogently, “a gentleman’s gentleman.” Ah, if it were only so. If only a percentage of this book could be true, the life depicted is still a dizzying descent into debauchery on a juvenile level. These heroes of rock and roll aren’t very nice people, in fact they're quite rude, mean and miserable. Sanchez isn’t concerned with their talent (he only gives Brian Jones credit for that), he’s more interested in telling us about their bad skin, their sexual activity (Keith, he says, is a non-energetic lover) ami their conquest of illegal substances. Keith emerges as a weak-willed person, totally dominated by the powerful Anita (the “sixth” Stone by virtue of her romps with Brian, Keith and Mick), who practiced black magic and put a curse on Bianca when she married Mick because, Sanchez says, Anita wanted Mick for herself. Mick doesn’t fare much better he’s dismissed as hopelessly middle-class and incapable of caring about anyone. Sanchez “proves” that by saying Mick refused to recognize Marianne Faithfull’s dependence on heroin and then co-opted her first line when awakening from a coma, “Wild horses couldn’t drag me away,” for a song. Other of our fave raves also Hit across Sanchez's book to more or less disastrous results, including John Lennon (once on heroin), fttul McCartney (high on himself) and Eric Clapton, to say nothing of Ron Wood, who eventually out-Stones the Stones in pervfersity. Conspicuous by their absence are Charlie Whtts and Bill Wyman, who apparently don’t take drugs or live with women who like to bed young girls. Ah well, maybe someone else will tell us was — their secrets transmitted diseases. This is a curious state of affairs, since the essential compatibility of instruction and elegant amusement has been evident since ancient fable-telling times. Rius (Eduardo del Rio) is the self-taught Mexican graphics genius who managed to fuse the wild invention of the best comic with out-and-out, unabashed teaching. Political satire was Rius’s original specialty (in Los agachados, translatable as the clobhered-down, perhaps, and indicative of the short-end-of-of-the-stick segment of society, and in Los supermachos). Working in this role quickly brought him to an unhappy limitation; the generally low level of socio-political awareness among readers. The kind of humor Rius wanted to do was a critique of the organizing mechanisms of a bureaucratic-capitalistic state, and it required a reader alerted to the contradictions inherent in such a society. The obvious solution to such difficulties is to cartoon at thereaders’ level, but Rius chose not to. Instead, he made his graphic humor the source of diffusion for concepts and information necessary to a comprehension of social weirdnesses, which could then be found funny in a horrible way. Smoothly worked into the fabric of silliness were whole bundles of data, statistics and all, about electioneering, media bombardment, dollar imperialism and class distinctions. Rius readers, far from rejecting this teacherliness, formed a massive cult. They followed Rius’s innovation of a full-length comic-book treatment of one question: TB as social problem, university unease, election fraud. When, at one {Joint, Rius lost control of Los .supermachos and a more mainstream bunch came in, it became clear the preachy cartoonist had a following that would go with him wherever he cared to publish. The ultimate mutation of the Rius comic was its transformation into neo-textbook. The Rius audience, having started out with a relatively standard batch of funnies, was now willingly purchasing and absorbing introductory texts on Marx, Cuba and petromadness. Rius’s work has only sporadically invaded the United States. A raggedy newsprint edition ofCubafor Beginners surfaced in Berkeley in English. Marx for Beginners was occasionally available as a British import item. Now, suddenly, Rius is here. A U.S. translation of Marx for Beginners (Pantheon Books, $2.95) is on sale; pages of it have appeared in The Village Voice. Richard Appignanesi, the translator, followed the same model in his Lenin for Beginners (also from Pantheon and $2.95). I have not seen the latter work, but Andrew Hacker reports it is like Rius only less engaging. Why exactly do readers accept being lectured by Rius, sometimes at considerable length? Visually, he wins the eye over with his rampant eclecticism. He has a Ralph Bakshi-like fondness for mixing the hand-drawn with the image. Quaint and fusty-looking drawings fascinate him, and not only for reasons of copyright; not content with ransacking old advertisements and illustrated manuals, he fabricates his own instantly passe graphics. In Marx, the capitalist exploiters display a luxury of soaring silk hats and waistcoats, with heavily furbelowed womenfolk. The poor are wretched in the approved Dickensian mode. In tune with the melodramatic tenor of the visuals, Rius provides his figures with larger-than-life dialogue. A young intellectualof Marx’s day, eager to illustrate the ferment of heavy ideas typical of the moment, has a balloon hanging over his head with the words “What is Man?” If Marx for Beginners really catches on, there is a wealth of relevant Rius material waiting to be Englished and distributed. Some of his work is too specific to Mexico to win wide audiences elsewhere for instance, an exposee of right-wing dirty business at the University of Monterrey. Others, such as his recently-issued comic analysis of the new Mexico-petroleumand-U.S. situation, have a more worldwide relevance (the petro-document also shows how much teaching and how little drawn-and-doodled visual interruption Rius can get away with). In fact, Rius already has a U.S. following among persons able to read Spanish. One devotee, Phyllis Procter, wrote her 1972 doctoral dissertation about him (University of Texas), while others limit themselves to reading Rius when they should probably be doing something more required and less educational. The obvious eventual result would be a cooptation of the inimitable Rius’s techniques by U.S. manufacturers of instructional materials; hardly a fate worse than what they now give us. Even if Rius’s complete works were to vanish instantaneously from the surface of the earth, he would still have made a very significant point about the potential for renovating mass-culture artifacts and accommodating them to the purposes of increasing political and social awareness. change the political order.

But Buffett, by now a twelve-year music business vet, also logs a hundred-showper-year schedule, carting a twenty-seven person entourage. “You have to be a businessman," he says, “If you're in there for longevity, you’ve got to have some practical sense." Practical sense Buffett has, plus a gregarious turn of nature, a love of storytelling and a folkie’s command of guitar. Combined with an urge for longevity, these have made him the author of several light and smartly crafted tunes, mostly about romantically carefree, adventurous living. Buffett’s albums are the soundtrack for being twenty-five years old into perpetuity. “There’s a lot of other people writing what I call ‘piss-and-moan’ songs,” he says, locking his hands behind his head, squirming lower in the armchair, hooking a leg over the side, “I write escapism music. I don’t draw from the traumas.” Practical sense has Buffett in Manhattan for a four-day stretch of interviews to push Volcano, his eighth LP and first for the MCA label, which recently bought out ABC Records.

Born 1946 on Christmas Day in Pascagoula, Mississippi, Buffett came up in Mobile, Alabama. “On the coast,” he clarifies, “The GulfCoast, which is not like what you think of the rest of Alabama. It's very loose.” Childhood reading, including Robert Wilder’s Winds from the Carolina v, hooked him permanently on Caribbean lore. He played folkie dates while earning a journalism degree at the University of Southern Mississippi. He toured cixktaii lounges, got married, moved to Nashville for a roll at song-selling, took a job at Hillhoard, the music business journal, made a study there of the “politics and workings” of the industry, and finally contracted a record deal with an outfit called Barnaby Records.

Color that you can hear... and (if you close your eyes) color you can almost see. From the soft pastel tones of a Mozart to the blinding brilliant flashes of hard rock to the passionately vibrant blues of the Blues. In fact, one of the most famous tenors in the world described a passage as“brown ... by brown I mean dark... rich and full.” Music does have color. Yet when most people listen to music they don’t hear the full rich range of color the instruments are playingThey either hear music in blackand-white, or in a few washed-outcolors. That’s a shame. Because they’re missing the delicate shading, the elusive tints and tones, the infinite hues and variations of color that make music one of the most expressive, emotional and moving arts of all Music has colon All kinds of colon And that is why Sony is introducing audio tape with Full Color Sound Sony tape with Full Color Sound can actually record r more sound than ou can hear. So that every tint and tone and shade and hue of color that’s in the original music will © 1979Sonybriusmes, A be on the Sony tape. Every single nuance of color, not just the broad strokes. Sony tape with Full Color Sound is truly different. Full Color Sound means that Sony tape has a greadyexpanded dynamic range —probably more expanded than the tape you’re using. This gives an extremely high output over the entire frequency range, plus a very high recording sensitivity There’s even more to Sony tape with Full Color Sound, however.

If anyone has inherited the torch lighted by Isadora Duncan and carried onwards by Martha Graham, it is this elegant woman born in a utopian socialist community in the Mojave Desert in 1916. They are her “tap roots, and 1 can’t but help reflect their work, philosophy and ethic. To that degree I carry forward that particular era and pass it on.” California, the arbiters of dance maintain, is a backwater, oi a sinkhole of panderers few can resist. Artists do not thrive there, they comefrom there, to New York, of course, or to Europe, especially Europe if they are opera singers. Bella Lewitzky stayed in Eos Angeles, through the early years of v politically inspired dance, the Federal Theater Project of the Depression (perhaps the most vibrant creative period in American history), through the frightened years of the blacklist when she couldn’t even get those “pagan” dance jobs in Debra Paget jungle epics that paid the rent. She stayed, explaining later of avoiding New York, “People there are reduced to human garbage. You must step over them to survive, and survival is not what it’s all about. 1 have friends who live in that atmosphere. They create in order to escape the environment. 1 create to celebrate the environment.” In Los Angeles she taught wherever she could, performed whenever she could, dreamed of her own company, and kept the faith. Overweight housewives came for a little exercise and she taught them. Mothers brought in their gawky daughters and she taught them too. One by one she found young dancers, people she could mold, people she could infuse with her vision. Denied a teaching position at UCLA in 1954 because she wouldn’t sign a loyalty oath, twelve years later she gave a lecture-demonstration at that university which became pivotal. Invitations followed from other universities, and her reputation spread. There were workshops in Utah, Texas, North Carolina, and even a two-month stint in Israel as a guest teacher and choreographer. their dancing, and their to enthusiastic coteries, and the In 1971, after more than three decades of grubbing, choreography. prestigious universities with And if they’re lucky or posh performance centers Lewitzky took her company, seven women and two “boys”— maybe if they’re just survivors, replace community colleges and barren multi-purpose rooms on male dancers are always tough ones, those whose flinty sense of commitment won’t let the schedule. ‘boys,” regardless of age, them pack it in, or sell out to the It’s a life only for the true regardless of marquee-power Dean Martin variety shows the believer, someone like Bella on its first eastern tour.

It seems like it might be about racial integration, or some kind of integration black costumes on one group, white on another, the groups at odds, then blending. But that is too facile an explanation, and Lewitzky is long, long past the obvious political statements of her work in the Federal theater. If “Rituals” has any specific meaning, that is for the audience to decide at that performance. As Lewitzky puts it, “My works tend to be abstractions rather than manifestos. Each tends to be a new statement of the place — 1 am." However much Lewitzky’s work has evolved, one thing seems constant: her fey sense of humor. It sneaks in everywhere and is central to the rousing spoof “Ras de Bach,” choreographed in 1977 with a decor by former-dancernow-clothes-designer Rudi Gernreich (he of the topless bathing suit). Lewitzky satirizes artistic snobbery, her fellow choreographers who have doted upon good J.S. Bach’s music, Hollywood musicals, the Floradora Girls, ballet in general, and two or three other affectations which Hitted by too quickly to be identified. Not many troupes are so well trained they can move, en masse, from the sober to the absurd as deftly as do Lewitzky’s minions. It is a mark of the quality of her teaching and the cohesiveness of the eleven dancers she has bonded together into a working company. Moreover, she has sympathetic technical support, notably from music director Larry Attaway, whose score for ‘Rituals” is as dichotomous as Lewitsky’s choreography, moving back and forth from Notre Dame organum to Luciano Berio. Such unity of enterprise only the most secure, on-going companies achieve. They still skimp to make the payroll; all dance companies do. They still tour small colleges; more dance companies should. The lady born into a birthing time works on, teaching contemporary dance anew, passing it on to the next generation. It’s one of the obligations of being legendary in one’s own time. Besides, as she explained, “I don’t want to carry it to the grave with me.” �October, 1979 ts INK A Direct-to-Disc The Truest Sound? Of ail the cockeyed inventions the world has ever seen, the phono record must surely be somewhere near the top of the list. It was astonishing enough when disc sound was all mono, but then to impress stereo and later four-channel sound into the grooves is even more incredible, particularly now that the disc is a centenarian. Yet this electronic senior citizen is still our most important sound source. Tape machines didn't come along until many decades after the invention of the phonograph. Prior to that development the output of a microphone was connected directly to therecord cutting machine, and since just one mike was used, the musicians clustered in a group around it. There were several problems. The musicians had to be right the first time, and if they made a mistake it was recorded directly to the grooves, and so they had to start all over again. The tempo of a composition was sometimes governed by the amount of playing time permitted by the record. If the musical composition couldn’t fit, if it was too long, the musicians played a bit faster. When tape finally came along, all that changed. The tape could be edited and offending passages removed. With multitrack recording, musical instruments could be recorded separately at different times and different places. Recording engineers pieced the whole thing together and then a master was made from the final tape. Another advantage is that through the use of multitrack tape, a variety of special effects can be obtained, such as sound with sound, echo, sound on sound. No rose without its ihorn, no garden without its weeds. The problem is that tape recorders help limit dynamic range and add noise, plus the fact that it is the recording engineer and not the musical conductor who often has the final say about the musical content of the master tape. Tape decks and tapes also supply their own quota of noise and this can become an integral part of the music. While tape recording does make life easier for the musician, there is a big difference between performing solo and working with a group. In an orchestra each musician not only concentrates on his instrument but on the music produced by his instrument in relationship to all the others. \bu could say that the musician, in a competitive situation, playing solo to a tape recorder, with each instrument to be combined later by the recording engineer, is weakened by the lack of incentive. Today we have a “new” technique known as direct-to-disc recording, a throwback to the methods used in the early days of phono records. In direct-to-disc, all the musicians mus be assembled and they must all play together. As soon as the composition starts, a record-cutting lathe goes into action, and what is produced is a master disc. If any errors are made by the musicians, those mistakes are also recorded. If the faults are serious, there may be a retake, an expensive procedure. To avoid this possibility, direct-to-disc requires a number of rehearsal sessions, including the person operating the cutting lathe. But with tape/record, if a musician makes an error, thegroup or orchestra can stop, move back just a few bars and continue from that point. There is no need to start all over again. Musicians are less apprehensive about errors and know that if one does happen correction will be kept to a minimum. Both techniques, direct-to-disc and the tape/record process, use microphones and mixing consoles, but in direct-to-disc the output of the console goes directly to a record-cutting lathe and the tape/disc process feeds into a 30 ips recorder. Recording techniques for direct-to-disc and tape/record are essentially the same, though. Both methods use microphones for changing the sound into an electrical waveform; what sound results is based on the number and kind of microphones used, and their placement. The difference is that in direct-to-disc there is no opportunity for experimenting with microphone placement With tape/record, if a take isn’t quite right, some adjustments can be made. However, it isn’t all gravy since such experimentation takes time. Usually sound engineers have enough experience to avoid this. To be able to hear he difference in direct-to-disc as compared with recording via tape requires audio components that are absolutely top quality. Direc-to-disc records are more expensive than discs using the tape recording process. The higher cost is attributable to the fact that these are limited editions. Only a certain numberof pressings can be made from each master, and then that’s it. As a result, some earlier direct-to-disc recordings have become collectors’ items. With ordinary records, the audio signal is put on tape which can always be used to cut another master. Direct-to-disc recordings are not only higher-priced and have a limited number of labels, but some record stores refuse to carry them. Stores thatsell records depend on built-up demand, but they know that even if demand is high, they may not be able to fill orders. A characteristic of direct-to-disc is limited output and once that output is distributed, no more records of that particular cutting will be available. Direct-to-disc records are being made by smaller companies and they don’t have the top artists. Nor is it likely that big time artists will drift over to the direct-to-disc recorders since record royalties from limited sales don’t make it worthwhile financially. The result is that direct-to-disc offers a limited selection. Those who had had experience with direct-to-disc claim that the sound is superior to records made via tape. It is true that with the tape method noise is produced by the tape recording process, but the fact remains that noise is also produced by the plating process in disc manufacturing. Whether noise is audible or not would seem to depend, in both cases, on the care and expertise used in record manufacturing. Martin Clifford �16 October, Bob Dyi.an Slow Train Coining (Columbia) current favorite lines in this song are “The rich seduce the poor/ And the old are seduced by the young...There’s strength in the things that remain." Man Gave Names to All the Animals. This one might be admissible as evidence of brain damage. Moronically transparent verses build to predictable rhymes. A day-nursery sort of charm is almost invoked, probably unintentionally, but the “pregnant” ending is a failure. When He Returns. With its stately gospel piano foundation and its brevity, this suits perfectly to cap the LP As is said of politicians' speeches, a song doesn’t have to be endless in order to be eternal. The feeling imparted is that Dylan has made a testament rather than a diatribe. Although he has written of God, conviction and rage before, Slow Train Coming takes Dylan the extra step from spiritual longing to surrender. Slow Train Coming is more powerful than eloquent. The "either for or against” mentality is truly disturbing. I believe the album will ultimately stand as one of his better, not one of his best. However, after the muddle of Street Legal, the boringly indulgent Renaldo and Clara film and his smarmy recent tour, in which the “poet of rage” looked more like Neil Diamond, Dylan’s work on Slow Train Coming is a beacon of clarity and purpose. To dispassionately review a provocative blend of music and religious philosophizing like Slow Train Coming is impossible. But, if Wallace Stevens can propose ‘Thirteen Ways of Looking at a Blackbird,” can not Ampersand present two ways of looking at an album? Forthwith are two biased viewpoints. This Train Delivers With the release of Slow Train Coming, there is no question left to ask regarding Bob Dylan’s new Christian belief. He himself has answered them within the context of this extraordinary LF \fes, Dylan is a Christian; his belief has had a profound effect on his world view, the content of his music, the way he looks at himself and others. Slow Train Coming reveals a changed man, a change extending not only into the future but reaching back into the past, bringing a sense of completeness to Dylan’s long, mercurial career. The ring of authority with which this album resounds is the sound of prophecy fulfilled. The truest persona in the protean Mr. Dylan’s long public history was his first; the lone sojourner with a guitar, singing out against injustice, social, spiritual and relational. It is particularly fitting that, on Slaw Train Coming, Dylan should again find his voice of protest, a voice now grounded in the conviction that there is an answer to the suffering and ills comprising our lot, a moral certitude that frees him, at long last, to again point out where we have all gone wrong, not excluding himself in the indictment. When Dylan decries ‘fathers turning daughters into whores" on “Gonna Change My of or Way Thinking” “sheiks.. .deciding America’s future from Amsterdam or Paris” on the LP’s title track, it is the same chilling, decisive truth illuminating “Blowin’ in the Wind,” “The Times They Are a-Changin”' or any of Dylan’s impassioned, early work. The comparison does not end there. Dylan’s voice has returned to the gravelly, highly emotive style of those early days; he has never sounded better, more honest or assured in what he is saying. His lyrics lack almost competely the purposeful obscurity and subliminal metaphorics of so much of his middle and later period; while Street Legal was a distressingly hollow return to the dense word associations of Highway 61 Revisited, Slow Train Coming is a powerful reaffirmation of the poetic honesty of The Freewheelin’ Boh Dylan. Where once words were the muse’s delight, they have again become weapons and tools for Dylan. The centerpiece of Slow Train Coming is Jesus Christ. In nearly every song He is referred to, more often directly than not. That this album is a triumph artistically, a delight musically 1979 Byron Laursen The Clash The Clash (Epic) Would You Buy a Used Bible fromThis Jew’ and a rebirth for an artist who has been prematurely eulogized, more than once, points directly to Dylan’s claim that he has, at last, discovered the truth. It is a claim not easily dismissed in light of this certified masterpiece. Davln Seay Same Train, Different Track The evaluational ante is always high with a Dylan album, and this time the drama of his religious conversion boosts the odds ever more. While this is a strong enough record to take the wear of the many axes that will be ground against it, it's also a human enough creation to show flaws. Dylan’s musical and lyrical stocks-in-trade are all in evidence, but they’re sometimes applied with little finesse judged by the standards of Dylan’s most remarkable work has set. Here is a cul-by-cut overview. You Gotta Serve Somehodh. A moody, minor key organ intro and ominous tempo brings “1 Heard It Through the Grapevine” to mind. The insistence of tlie chorus is effective, — but the reductionist school of thought —“It may be the Devil or it may be the Lord,” is disquieting. Precious Angel. Mark Knopfler of Dire Straits introduces this one, which itself introduces the notion that a woman friend sparked Dylan’s conversion. “You either got faith or you got unbelief/There ain’t no neutral ground,” says the lyric. I Believe in You. Again, a slow tempo. Knopfler’s fills are subdued, liquid, graceful. This album features Dylan’s smoothest production yet. Very spare. His voice is the only rough-edged instrument, standing in high relief. The instrumental understatement implies latent power. Slaw Train. This is a worthy title track. The anger of the righteous is expressed, with plenty of ready imagery from the modern world for fuel. Still, Dylan has written more effectively. The images, perhaps too literal, don’t illuminate so much as catalogue. "Hard Rain” will outlast this song. Gonna Change My Way of Thinking. Another simple structure —a “You Really Got Me” style riff and cowbell timekeeper. For the hrst time producers Jerry Wexler (Ray Charles, Aretha Franklin, Sanford and Townsend) and Barry Beckett (practically everything out of Muscle Shoals) are coloring with horns, their use oddly sparing for a Muscle Shoalsecorded gospel-style LP. Maybe considering the literalness of thought evident elsewhere, horns seemed too carnal. Sample hackle-raising lyric: “Who’s not for me is against me.” Do Right to Me Baby. Knopfler backdrops this crossbreeding of the Golden Rule and “All I Really Want to Do” with light, trebly fingerpicking. One of the more palatable songs on the record. When You Gonna Wake Up. This is the best-written cut. Dylan has long understood that it can take a paradox to reveal the cutting edge of a truth, “You got some big dreams, baby/But in order to dream you gotta still be asleep." Not bad, though not on the order of “Too Much of Nothing.” My This is the long awaited and much delayed compilation album of material from the English punk rockers’ earliest recordings that were never released domestically before. The material ranges from the band’s first single (“White Riot”) to its most recent, post-Giue ’Em Enough Rope EP (“I Fought the Law” and the two songs on the bonus single). The bulk of the songs are drawn from the first English album and subsequent trio of classic singles and, by and large, have been well selected. The only grievous omission is “Capitol Radio,” an acerbic attack on airwave conservativism that not only preceded Elvis Costello’s “Radio Radio” but far surpasses it in vitriolic force. The earliest songs have been re-mixed as well (poor sound quality being one of CBS Records’ official excirses for not releasing the album at first), again largely for the best. The classic “Complete Control” loses some of its darkly ominous power but, overall, the drums punch through cleaner, the guitars bite harder and Joe Strummer’s lead vocals are more easily discernible. Strummer’s lyrics may be derived fom the political circumstances facing English youth in 1977 (the other major CBS rationale for not releasing it), but he’s also dealing with themes that �October, 1979 cut across national boundaries. The chorus to “Janie Jones” certainly wouldn't sound foreign to American ears, nor would the exhilarating way the band kicks into “1 Fought the Law” need translation at the United Nations. I’m So Bored with the U.S.A.” not only makes some trenchant points about American cultural imperialism (“Yankee detectives are always on the TV/’Cause killers in America work seven days a week”) but does so in hilarious fashion (“Move Up Starsky to the CIA/Suck on Kojak for the U.S.A.”). The album could have been sequenced better, thus avoiding the occasionally grating juxtaposition of old and newer material, and why the first beats of the martial drum intro to ‘Janie Jones” were cut out is mystifying (sounds like a very minor detail but it definitely throws the rhythm out of whack for a while). But The Clash is an absolutely essential album by the best rock band in the world today. Don Snowden Heads Fear of Music (Sire) Talking Whether it sells as well as Buildid Food, Fear shows the Talking Heads noticeably improved in performance, production and inspiration. David Byrne continues to use inanimate or impersonal objects as sources of inspiration. Here he describes his feelings through paper, cities, air, heaven, and an electric guitar. His “camera eye” lyricism is ingenious; he parallels a disintegrated love affair with holding paper up to the sun (“some rays, they passed right through”). "Drugs” is a vividly accurate, yet unromantic portrayal of the paranoid,schizo moods and perceptions in a psychedelic high. Byrne jusually masks his paranoia in comic exaggerations. He worries about the dangers of air, being laughed at by animals, and surviving war with a change ofidentities and a two-day supply of peanut butter. His singing is less shrill but still edgy. The band is as tight as ever; the everpresent staccato guitar chords bristle with energy. Tina Weymouth supplies a more emphatic bass line to compliment Jerry Harrison’s brisk beat. Chris Frantz and Byrne even have room to cut loose with clear, biting lead work. Their precise musicianship is enhanced by Eno’s fuller production. Buildings id Food had all the instruments upfront, resulting in a clinical feel. Here Eno adds a deeper texture to the layered arrangements. He occasionally submerges a vocal line or a rhythm track for a more dynamic effect. Instead of special effects as frill to the regimented melodies, his synthesizer treatments are better molded into the songs. The Talking Heads’ music, no ings 17 matter how finely presented, will still alienate a lot of people. Some won’t stomach Byrne’s dry wit and vocal style. Others won’t have enough desire to get involved with what the group’s trying to say. Still, Fear of Music is further evidence that the Talking Heads will be a major creative force in the music of the 1980s. If only people would conquer their fears about adjusting to different and unique sounds. Jeff Silberman Nat Addkki.v A Little New York Midtown Music (Galaxy) Nat Adderly has enlisted some top-drawer talent to make this tasty album. The cornetist-leader pulled in Roy McCurdy, drums, and Victor Feldman, piano, from Los Angeles, bassist Ron Carter from New York, and saxophone wizard Johnny Griffin from Holland, though the latter was actually making his first U.S. tour in 17 years. These five men explore a variety of modern jazz compositions, including four by the leader, in an invigorating and thoughtful manner that makes this album worth repeated hearings. It turns out that Griffin and Carter are the stars of the show. Griffin left the U.S. in 1962,after stints with Art Blakey and Thelonious Monk, to find happiness and work in Europe. He is an unabashed jazz player, holds no affection for contemporary "cross-over” music, and through his saxophonics and his words in print, is rapidly becoming the relevant spokesman for America’s native art form. Carter, known to many through his tenure with Miles Davis, is a superlative technician who combines warmth, wit and intelligence in his performances. Brother Nat wasn’t at the peak of his game last September in Berkeley, when this album was cut; in fact, he fluffs more than a few, but his noble cohorts burn right on through, more than holding up their end of the bargain. On “Fortune’s Child,” Carter's floating bass lines, full of glissandos and firm, solid notes, provide points of interaction for McCurdy's aggressive yet sensitive drumming, and together they push Feldman and Griffin into inspired moments. The title track and "Come Rain or Come Shine” feature Adderly on muted horn, sounding a little like Miles but getting a more open, throatier tone. These two tracks give us some attractive Addcrly, though Griffin’s stellar moments stay with the listener longer than the leader’s. But, even with a so-so performance from the leader, A Little New York Midtown Music presents Adderly with four hip new tunes and the best of co-players, that’s a good payload for any album. Zan Stewart �IS mmi (1 WiV \wmm rfr ■■jiiiiiii nil i I » GEORGE THOKCX.(X)I) & THE DESTROYERS Better Than the Rest (MCA) George Thorogood’s rise to national prominence playing 20year old material on a pair of albums released by a folk- and bluegrass-oriented label with no promotional clout certainly ranks as the left-field success story of the late Seventies. But his basic appeal isn’t too difficult to trace. Thorogood is every frat bro’ who’s ever harbored secret desires about becoming the life of the Saturday night kegger by magically turning into a guitar hero, kicking out those basic Chuck Berry jams. The remarkable thing about this collection of five-year-old material given to MCA by his former manager over Thorogood’s strong objections (the case is still in litigation) is how little his approach has changed over the years. Obviously, this is the work of a less polished, not fully developed — — blond one (Continuedfrom page 6) raws October, 1979 talent —the production is terrible, there’s a different bass player, George's guitar is often doubletracked and his vocals are less effective. Essentially it’s the same assortment of blues. Berry and Fifties rhythm and blues. He does break one of rock & roll’s cardinal unwritten laws on ‘Howlin’ for My Darling”: no one except Captain Beefheart should try to imitate Howlin’ Wolf’s singing style. While most of the songs boast enough hot licks to sustain interest, only the surging powerdrive of “In the Night Time” and the acoustic slide blues “You’re Gonna Miss Me” qualify as firstrate. Better Than the Rest probably won’t disappoint those who want everything Thorogood has recorded, but the two Rounder LPs remain better introductions to his music. An added consumer note: Better Than the Rest contains a paltry 28 minutes of music.

Smith, as high priestess, was totally unable to satisfy the adoration of the faithful, refusing time and again to bleed herself in the rock ritual. Smith’s performance and her relationship to the audience were frighteningly incoherent. A year earlier there was no question that Smith was all she claimed to be; a poetess, a singer and a visionary. “Because the Night” was on the airwaves. Success, creative and popular, was in her grasp. Firmly at the helm, she steered the band through dangerous musical waters by sheer exuberant force. Risks were undertaken, reserves tapped, fate tempted. But Smith has since paid dearly for success. She has a new following, people who wouldn’t read Rimbaud unless his poems were printed on Gene Simmons’ tongue. Made cynical by the indiscriminate adulation coming her way, Smith apparently lost the will to center and direct her mindless audience. “You wanted some new blood," she shouted hoarsely during a disjointed rendering of “Time Is on My Side,” “Well, you got it in me.” She threatened to kick those pressed against the stage if they knocked against her monitors, then halted an hour into the set for a ten-minute break that lasted thirty. Repeatedly asking the throng to “relax,” Smith stalked the stage in what seemed to be a state of nervous exhaustion. The music, of course, suffered terribly in this exchange between artist and audience. Her voice strained and ragged, Smith who has previously established herself as a singer of no small ability tore through each song with masochistic determination. When the dust had settled, a question remained. Could it be that Smith’s poetic — — sensibilities are being strangled at the source by the demands of commercial success? It’s a question that one of Smith’s mentors, Jim Morrison, also needed to answer. His silence seems somehow significant. Oavln $My played as a blues at all.

What a straight line! But in fairness, Kihn and his band moved their set from commonplace to rousing in small but sure steps. A Bay Area favorite for some time, Kihn plays a clean, honest-feeling pup blend that homogenizes influences from Springsteen to the Byrds. Disciplined, cushiony, sung without grit or irony, the Kihn sound became most compelling after the smooth-faced leader announced, “We’re well into the rock & roll portion of the program,” then capped his show with “Life’s Too Short” and “Roadrunner,” the Jonathan Richman song that frequently anchors Kihn’s sets. Called back twice for encores, Kihn responded with “For Your Love,” trading lead vocals with the rest of the four-piece band, then “In the Museum," and, finally, ■'Telstar.” On the latter, an early Sixties organist’s workout, Dave Carpenter, he of the radically shag-cut red hair, hit the tune’s melody notes on guitar, sustaining with volume at distortion levels. The result, simultaneously more rucking and more human sounding than the original, became a neat summary of the Kihn band's virtues. Cute as Shirley Temple, with tight pants, suspenders and a big-stripe t-shirt and several gallons of rampant blond locks, Louise Coffin (daughter of Carole King and Gerry Coffin how time Hies) started the evening with a professional workout, full of bouncing, audience-pointing and air-boxing. In lieu of communicating, she “sold” the songs, and herself. Though Coffin ultimately seemed more shallow than cynical with her calculated approach, at least one stomach turned when she encored in an artfully ripped and safety-pinned punkette t-shirt. She sang a nearly unrecognizable version of the Sex Pistols’ “Problems," whirling to reveal a professionally block-printed “The Problem Is Vbu” across her back. Coffin may score hits with her pro, well-coached, showbiz ways but the actual problem is her lack of substance. If she’s the author, the next chapter of rock will be light reading. — Byron Laurawi �so October, 1979 �October, 1979 APOCALYPSE Now, starring Marlon Brando, Robert Duvall, and Martin Sheen; written by Francis Coppola and John Milius; directed by Coppola. After three years and $31.5 million, after all the jokes about “Apocalypse Never," Francis Coppola (the middle name Ford has mysteriously disappeared) has at last relinquished his Viet Nam epic. Most of it was definitely worth the wait. Marlin Sheen, who is in almost every frame of the film (despite third billing, a ludicrous testament to “star power" vs. major roles), plays an army assassin ordered to Cambodia to execute “insane” Brando; the army brass want Brando dead because he has gone native, he is outside their influence, beyond their control; they do not appreciate creative warfare. As Sheen rides upriver on a navy patrol boat (with a young, drugged, rock & roll crew), he reads Brando’s dossier, and we’re hooked. Intense foreboding, even titillation: is Brando so crazy? No crazier than the astonishing things we see along the way, with Duvall outstanding as an officer who fancies himself a cavalryman (his helicopters are bugled off to battle!). Duvall orders his troops to attack and hold a Cong beach just so he can watch his new surfers hit the waves. He stands upright, wearing his cavalry hat, in the middle of the bombing, he cranks up VShgner’s “Ride of die Whlkyries" on a huge sound system in his chopper because “it scares hell out of the slopes." The few minutes of this attack are dazzling, heroic and stupid, macho mayhem taken to its ultimate horrifying g'ggfcMore madness: not violent butchery, but the abject decadence of a USO show in the middle of the jungle with Playmates bumping and grinding for the troops. The most painful scene of all comes when the boat crew annihilates innocent natives aboard a sampan because of their own nervous fear. Coppola’s Viet Nam (the Philippines, actually) is alternately lush and inviting, stark and brutal. Small wonder the young soldiers drugged themselves, trying to erase the war by erasing their minds. Alas, when Sheen finally arrives upriver and finds Brando’s bizarre, painted army just waiting around some temple ruins, as ifany guerilla force would occupy such an easy target the film falls apart. Coppola fine-tunes us, squeezes us with fear and numbing anticipation, and then drops us. Coitus interruptus. Instead of the heart of darkness, the core of madness embodied in a self-proclaimed god, a crazed, cold killer, we find Brando, fat, middle-aged and bald in what may well be his first uninteresting screen appearance. Brando’s character, Kurtz, fills the movie before we ever meet him; we sense a confrontation with man's primitive soul, the uncivilized savage never far beneath the surface; Kurtz, we believe, has peeled away his 20th-century character and confronted his timeless demons; he has reverted, slipped back to primeval ways, with painted face and necklaces made of enemies’ bones. We wait for Kurtz to peel away some of our layers, or at least Sheen’s, but he doesn’t. Not even a glancing blow. Perhaps it isn’t fair, isn’t possible for one actor to personify Viet Nam’s madness, and to do so in about five minutes. We might have sustained our fearful quiver if we’d never met Kurtz, or if he’d been frighteningly sane. Ibo many ifs. After some pretentiously oblique conversation, Brando waits to be killed, and Sheen obliges with a ritual machete — OnScreen execution, intercut with the ritual butch- ery of a hapless animal by Brando’s natives. Visually exciting, but emotionally empty. Nothing really happens', the different ending which will be used in the small theater/35mm version (a big-boom apocalyptic finale) won’t change that. Sheen does not see himself in Brando, there is no transference, no revelation, just a lot of staring and sweating. This isn’t Sheen’s fault, but he just doesn’t look like a killer, there is no cutting edge in his voice or eyes; he is desperate, but never demonic. The script (with additional narration written by Michael Herr) is excellent when it sticks to the story, but Coppola and his cohorts occasionally lapse into philosophical observation, as when someone intones that the Viet Cong know only “death and victory,” or when Dennis Hopper as a freako photographer with Brando’s army blurts out thatBrando has said, The word ‘if’ is in the middle of life.” Such profundity. Why, the word “ill” is % of “kill.” Although Coppola almost realizes his ambition “to create a film experience that would give its audience a sense of the horror, the madness, the sensuousness, and the moral dilemma of the Vietnam war,” he falls prey to the same boogieman that has beset previous Viet Nam films, namely our simplistic beliefthat the Cong are, or were, invincible. We didn’t win the war, in fact we lost a great deal more than the war, but that does not mean the North Vietnamese are supermen; Brando’s speech about the ‘pure, perfect” acts of the Cong, who kill with no judgment, is clever but meaningless claptrap. Apocalypse Now, especially its ambiguous ending, will lie discussed and dissected for years to come and will probably yield more treasure with each search. I fully intend to see it again and again, by which time I loo may paint my face and wear bones around my neck. Judith Sims — Monty Python s Life of Brian, starring Graham Chapman, John Cleese, Terry Gilliam, Eric Idle, Terry Jones, and Michael Palin; written by all of the above; directed by Martin Sheen on a mission of death and mystery in Apocalypse Loretta. They all take aim at religion, a subject rife with satiric possibilities, and they don’t miss a shot. The Nativity, Pilate, disciples, prophets, intellectuals and familiar Biblical scenes are all stung by the collective snake. Fr instance; when observers at the back of the crowd can’t quite hear the Sermon on the Mount, an intermediately placed person translates for the others: “I think he said ‘blessed are the cheesemakes,’... and ‘blessed are the Greek.’” Since women were not allowed to attend stonings, Python has them buying phony beards and speaking in deep voices so they can hurl stones at the criminal. The beard seller is Idle, who also purveys stones and gravel for throwing. And at the end, several men, nailed to crosses, sing a vacuous little tune (written by Idle) called “Bright Side of Life." They’re nuts, bless ’em. Judith Sims The Kids Are Ai rk.h r, starring the Who; Jones. directed by Now that their achingly silly TV series has run its course, now that I’ve seen all their films and memorized all their records, I measure my years in new Python offerings, and this year brings their best movie yet, Life of Brian. This is the Pythonesque version of a Biblical epic; Brian was born in the manger next to you-know-whdRand grew up with many of the same problems, not to mention the same gruesome fate. Brian is played by Graham Chapman (see feature, this issue), who was last seen as King Arthur in Monty Python and the Holy Grail. Chapman plays two additioal roles, a Wise Man and Biggus Dickus, a lisping Roman centurion. John Cleese has six roles, from revolutionary to centurion to Jewish official at a stoning; Terry Jones clocks in with five including Brian’s mother Mandy; Palin is most visible with ten parts, best of which is a lisping Pontius Pilate; Idle has eight roles, including a sexually conf used revolutionary, Stan, who wants to be called Great rock & roll movies those about bands have largely been limited to the Beatles’ A Hard Day's Night and Help, and, to a lesser extent, the Monkees’ Head. These days serious musicians see themselves primarily as artists, not entertainers, so we're stuck with a few inane fantasy movies featuring the questionable talents of Kiss, Donny anti Marie anti the like. Serious musicians, like the Band, Rolling Stones, Pink Floyd, Yes, Led Zeppelin and Grateful Dead, have chosen to showcase themselves in live concert films. The Who, until Keith Moon’s untimely death a yearago, had been together, intact, for 15 years. Director Jeff Stein takes full advantage of this span in constructing their on-and-off stage saga, The Kids Are Jeff Stein. — — Alright. Mixing footage from various periods of the Who’s career offers the unexpected and provides a fascinating glimpse of the band's development musically and culturally (although a more comprehensive — Now. view of the latter will be presented in Qiuulrophenia, due out later this year.) The film starts with the Who destroying their instruments on the Smothers Brothers TV show,, and makes extensive usage of sequences filmed at Woodstock, Monterey Pop and the (previously unseen) Rolling Slones’ Rock and Roll Circus (wherein the Who provide the movies most satisfying moment with an inspired “A Quick One While He’s Away"). In the beginning, the Who were brash and colorful. Their intense musical statements about youth (like “My Generation") were matched by the band’s literally explosive stage show flamboyantly destroying guitars anti drums and visually exciting pop-art-inspired stage apparel. Through short interview segments we are given some glimpses of the Who as people. In early interviews (circa 1965), Townshend reveals a precocity and naivete that contrasts sharply with his present-day evasiveness. Except for a sequence where John Enlwistle shoots his gold records out of the air (ala skeet shooting), his non-musical identity is nil. Similarly, Roger Daltrey is remembered more for his amazing and consistent singing than for any spoken words. The late Keith Moon steals the show, a hyperactive kid continually making jokes, pulling legs (literally) or ripping oil' clothes, and uncontrollably hamming it up. In one segment he demonstrates the art of wrecking a hotel room, and in another he refers to the time he drove a car into a swimming pool. If it weren’t for the fact that he was, perhaps, rock’s greatest drummer in the movie you’ll see how his constant onslaught doesn’t merely keep the beat but propels each song hecould’ve made a classic slapstick movie comedian. The Who are at a strange impasse. Last year’s LR Who Are You, presented the band at its blandest. With Moon replaced by drummer Kenny Jones (ex-Faces), the Who's current sound is not, regrettably, the exciting band of The Kids Are Alright. — — - — — Harold Bronson * �BUFFETT (Continued from page 11) much, nor did the tour that followed make money. His marriage failed. Later, after Buffett’s ABC albums took flight, Barnaby released another disc from leftover tracks. When Nashville proved too trying, Buffett decided to join friend Jerry Jeff Walker in Miami. Sojourns to the nearby Keys reawakened his fascination with pirates, schooners and life in the warm sun. Soon he was dabbling in the contrabandista life, running light dope shipments. Thomas McGuane, then working on the novel 92 in the Shade, soon to write screenplays for Rancho Deluxe and The Missouri Breaks, became Buffett’s partner in hell-raising as the pangs of Nashville and divorce were getting stir-fried out of his system. The novelist, brother of Buffett’s current wife, Jane, also wrote liner notes for thedebutalbum on ABC, A White Sport Cgat and a Pink Crustacean. Cut in Nashville and released with the fall of ’72, it introduced a bar-stool anthem that won Buffett compadres in all four corners of the U.S.A., the plainspoken "Why Don’t We Get Drunk (and Screw).” Clearly off to a good start, he has ever since banked on his instincts for playfulness, raunch, and the combination of drink and song. The lilt of Caribbean music forms has affected his melodic sense as much as the rockcountry-folk material of his mainland heritage. “Thecurious hinterland where Hank Williams and Xavier Cugat meet,” McGuane put it in the liner notes. Later in history, Buffett did the soundtrack for Rancho Deluxe and Jack Nicholson’l Coin' South. He also appeared briefly in FM, a cinema vehicle for music stars that was pure failure. “Come Monday,” off Buffett's 1974 release, Living and Dying in V* Time, made its way into the Top 20. By the end of the same year he was back in Nashville to cut A1A, which featured the snapshot-cumpostcard cover decorations that help link Buffett with down-island imagery. With its heavy dose of Caribbean settings, A1A, named after theroad that connects Miami and Key West, prefigures the current Volcano more than any of his other records. In 1976, after he had played an antinuclear benefit with the Eagles, Buffett chanced to meet diminutive mogul Irving Azoff at the bar of the Hotel Jerome in Aspen. Azoff, respectfully tagged “His shortness” around the officesof his Front Line Management firm in Los Angeles, had managed the Eagles to multiplatinum status and buit a reputation for brash, gutty tactics in the process. Boz Scaggs, Steely Dan and Wbrren Zevon are also in Azoff’s stable. He asked Buffett to open for the Eagles on an upcoming national tour, an offer no ambitious musician could refuse. Soon, Azoff was managing Buffett’s career as well. The following year saw another new album, Changes in Latitudes, Changes in Attitudes, very much along the lines of the previous recordings. Nestled in the LP was “Margaritaville,” a drunkard’s ditty of light remorse that Buffett claims he wrote entirely in Hve minutes. With whimsical rhymes (tattoo/clue, pop-top/flip-flop) and a lazy, airy melody, it pulled the album to platinum. One succeeding album. Son of a Son ofa Sailor, also went platinum, but the double live You Had to Be There sold less healthily. Volcano came about on Monserrat, an island about 17 degrees above the equator, near Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands and Martinique. George Martin, former producer of the Beatles, recently built Air Studios there for the double benefits of sunshine and lenient tax laws. Buffett,and his Coral Reefer band descended on the facilities, along with James, Hugh and Alex Taylor, who came to sing harmonies. “It’s a great little island” says Buffett, “very conducive to getting a lot done.” Rumsucking reputation notwithstanding, he recorded the album in a disciplined seventeen days. Larry Sobers, an Azoff aide assigned to steer Buffett to all his New York appointments, waits for Buffett’s tardy chartered flight to arrive from Martha’s Vineyard. Sobers lights for a moment and says, “The last time I was in New York doing interviews with Jimmy, I spent four hour one night chasing him from bar to bar, telling him what he was supposed to do on the next day. He would go up to the second floor, up to the storeroom, and tell them if 1 came in to say he wasn’t there.” Buffett deplanes, barely half an hour before the scheduled Klein taping, and says, “Did I ever let you down, Larry?” We Jump directly for the limousine. The driver looks a lot like Burt Young in Rocky. Buffett, in tan, woven shoes and frayed bellbottom denims, appears either to be growing a beer belly or smuggling a tortoise beneath his flowers-and-egrets sport shirt. A funny woven cord loops behind his thinning, ringletted blond hair, hooked to a pair of sunglasses. “Are the Yankees on TV?” At the RCA Building, Klein greets Buffett with a crack. “You were fogged in at Martha Vineyard? I wish 1 had excuses like that!” An MCA publicist rushes up with “the numbers,” statistics on how many radio stations are starting to play the justreleased LR Seated in the engineer’s booth while Klein introduces him to the studio audience as “a man who should be ashamed, taking money for the kind of life he leads,” Buffett draws a photo from his wallet. It’s his eleven-week-old daughter, Savannah Jane. “Think I’m in trouble?” he says. “She’s Just gettin’ into yellin’ now.” After the taping, I remark to Buffett that most stories about him involved fol- lowing along on a bar-hopping round. "Yeah,*’ he says, shouldering into an elevator. “And I gotta go home and live with that.” We drop back into the limo, drawing fire from one of New York’s aggressive panhandlers. “That'd be a wino,” Buffett says while pushing a button for the electric plexiglass sunroof, “a wino and a junkie.” One of his most-quoted lines, “living my life like a song,” is from a song called “The Wino and I Know.” We cross Manhattan at the start of rush hour, interviewing as the blur passes by. Eventually, we’re settled in the Hotel Carlyle’s calm, costly rooms. “I’ve always looked for a bar like the one in To Have and Have Not,” Buffett says, “where Hoagy Carmichaels’ playing piano and there’s ceiling fans and Lauren Bacall and Bogart are drinking at the tables. It doesn’t exist. But you do find characters on the run down there. That’s where I pick up ideas for songs, talking to those people. Doesn’t this mix of socializing, drinking, toking, snorting and sailing wear a body down? “They’ve been doin’ it in the Caribbean for centuries,” Buffett says. “It really is a historical fact. Vbu can be healthy and still do it. There’s actually nothing else to do. Hell, who can turn down a pina colada when it’s eighty degrees on the beach?” I ask if Klein's opening remark, about taking money for an idyllic-seeming life, bothered him. Still smiling, Buffett flashes an expression that says he’s dealt with this one before. “Nobody else was there when it wasjust me and a rent-a-car, driving to play the Holiday Inns.” But the scuffling days are long past. Buffett keeps a home in the islands, another in Aspen, another in Alabama. Euphoria HI, now being built, will carry him around the islands in style. Another line of questioning; When fans identify with a performer, sometimes it forms a trap. They respond to certain elements in the performer’s work say, an emphasis on drunken good times —and ignore other subtleties. “Worst thing you can do is fear your audience,” Buffett says, sipping his champagne from a plastic cup. “I don’t wantto be a shut-in, it’s not my personality. I’m playin’ for their enjoyment. Oh, they bug me sometimes, sure. I get calls like, ‘\bu wanna just come down for a beer?”’ Buffett swirls his eyes around the ceiling. “Hey, Larry, could you get that cap from my suitcase?” Solters hands him a deckhand’s hat from the United States Coast Guard Cutter Diligence, one of the boats assigned to crack the Caribbean smuggling trade. Somebody stole it to make Buffett a gift. “This is the copsand robbers catch boat," he says, striding around the room with the hat on, looking for a mirror. “They paint marijuana leaves on the stack for everyone they bust. They got a big flag they fly when they pop one.” Glee is in his eyes. “And you just know every asshole on that boat smokes.” The future involves some writing, though Buffett isn’t sure just what it’ll turn out to be. “It’ll naturally be something funny, with a lot of story. I keep journals, so that’ll make it easy. There’s somethings I’d like to say that won’t fit into three verses and a chorus.” Buffett took a screen test for Nashville, but no role resulted. Will he take another shot at film? “It’s in the works,” he says. “But I can’t talk aboutit yet. I’ve been offered some things to do, some acting, but I want to wait till it’s something comfortable.” How much longer will he tour and make albums? “Forever,” Buffett asserts. “Long as they buy ’em. That’s the thing 1 do best. I’ll never stop.” — (Continuedfrom page 9) seeming to say that death is as much a part of life as birth, and there are-many more living, so let’s concern ourselves with them. Still, it’s made particularly clear that the lives of blacks, and minorities in general, aren’t worth a nickel. Framing a native for a murder a white has committed is common practice. Life in Africa is hard and cheap. To make his artistry complete, the author places the action in settings as vivid as his characters. The luxuriant foliage, the rough landscape, the ramshackle bungalows and buildings, all are easily seen with the mind’s eye. African Trio is an immensely readable, masterfully written volume. You’ll want to share it with your friends. acts, Zan Stewart A Genuine Heroine Too many recent novels about women seem to rely solely on females who try to find themselves by careening between their psychiatrists and Bloomingdale’s. Burger’s Daughter (Viking, f 10,95), written by acclaimed South African author Nadine Gordimer, is a welcome exception to that trend and a remarkable accomplishment. She has written a novel with a genuine heroine one who would be worthy of the morally weighted novels of, say, George Eliot br Edith Wharton. Rosa Burger, unlike many current heroines, doesn’t earn her stripes by having the slimmest hips or the fastest dirty mouth or the most acrobatic sexual maneuvers; she becomes a heroine slowly, painfully and reluctantly by exploring the difficult relationship between personal pleasures and moral commitments. Burger’s Daughter is about decisions. It’s set in South Africa and deals with apartheid, at least so far as that scandalous rule applies to the Afrikanner Burger family. Rosa is the daughter of two political activists who are willing to die for what they believe. As the child of martyrs who are eulogized throughout the world by those who would see South Africa change, Rosa grows up in a household that takes personal sacrifice for granted the way others may count on milk for growing bones. But Rosa didn’t choose her life, she inherited it, the way other children inherit a certain religion or blue eyes. It takes a long time for Rosa, (prophetically named for Rosa Luxemberg) to grow into her heredity. What makes thisbook so powerful is that Gordimer never allows her political bias to interfere with her people; she has instead managed the near impossible and meshed them together totally. There are no absolutes in her novel, and she keeps our interest by introducing a myriad of unexpected, but totally possible, plot twists. The ending seems predictable in retrospect but when reading it emerges with valuable shock appeal. Gordimer’s style of writing is not unlike the film vocabulary introduced in the early Sixties by New Wave director Alain Resnais (Last Year in Marienbad and Hiroshima Mon Amour), fragmented and evocative. The book is crammed with memorable characters who lead honest lives. At its simplest level, Burger's Daughter is about the age-old conflict of how to be good to one’s self and good to other people. Gordimer’s novel makes an eloquent attempt to give us some answers. — Jacobs Atlas �4 October, 197 ' . - - S3 * At last, Encare.® Neat, compact, no bigger than your fingertip, Encare is fast becoming the most talked about contraceptive we have today.

Dorm students are considered residents of the county in which their parents live. The Commissioner also pointed out that each request to register in Erie County is handled on an individual basis and that no absolute generalizations could be made. Speaking with SASU delegate from UB Sue Kushner and NYPIRG’s Marc Ganz, Mahoney maintained that he could help students through his position as President of the Voter Registration sub-committee of the State Board of by David Galanler Spectrum Staff Writer Students from UB—as part of- a statewide movement—urged voter registration laws be altered to permit out-of-town students to vote in their college town at a protest Thursday. About 20 UB students picketed for 45 minutes in front of the Erie County board of Elections building on Eagle Street downtown. The students represented various- en-campus organizations including NYP1RG and the Black Student Union. Chanting “We wanfthe right to vote” and “Students are people too,” the Elections. Kushner and Ganz agreed to put their recommendations in writing and submit them to Mahoney for the subcommittee’s consideration. After the rally, UB organizer Jim Stern called the day’s efforts a success, but admitted, “This is only another step in a long process.” Stern, who worked for SASU’s main office in Albany last small but fiesty group attracted much attention, including both radio and television coverage. A representative of Assemblyman William Hoyt’s office joined the protesters to lend his support. The statewide campaign, sponsored by the Student Association of the State University (SASU), seeks to reform voter registration laws restricting out-of- college students from voting in their college community. Under the law the local Board of Elections can deny students the right to vote in Buffalo, unless they establish permanent residence here.

Following a 30 minute wait, Democratic Commissioner Edward J, Mahoney first agreed to speak with The Spectrum, then to demonstration organizers. Elections Board.” The Erie Board of Election, Stern claimed, has obtained second addresses of students who deliberately omit them on theirregistration applications. He was confident that there will be some results from the group’s efforts before the voter registration deadline for the 1980 November elections. Mahoney said he could not grant out- of-town residents, such as dorm students, voting privileges in Buffalo. He said, “My job as commissioner is to administer the law, not to alter it. That is the Legislature’s responsibility.” The Jaw, Mahoney explained, decrees Word is out —Albany no longer mum on key evaluators’ names by Elena Cacavas Presidential evaluation will be conducted on four SUNY News Editor Binghamton, Campuses Brockport, Old Westbury and UB—by four three member teams. — The guesswork is over The names of 11 prominent educators who have agreed to participate in the presidential review being conducted on four SUNY campuses were released from the SUNY Chancellor’s Office in Albany. As was previously reported in The Spectrum, John S. Corbally, past president of the University of Illinois and Edwin Young, president of the University of Wisconsin will serve on the committee to evaluate UB President Robert L. Ketter. David Z. Robinson, vice president of the Carnegie Corporation and a trustee of the City University of New York is the third member of the team to be chaired by Corbally. The Spectrum searched for the names last week after signals were apparently crossed between the Chancellor’s office and UB President Robert L. Ketter and the team’s composition was not announced on the scheduled date. Aides to SUNY Chancellor Clifton R. Wharton told The Spectrum two weeks ago that the Chancellor had chosen the three evaluators and their names could be released by Ketter at the October 12 College Council meeting. At that time, however, Ketter said he had not been authorized to disclose the committee’s make-up and little additional comment followed from the Chancellor. Friday Inside: Interview w th ! Administrators from a number of states have been chosen, although there is yet one vacant spot on Old Westbury’s panel. The evaluation by a group of peers outside of the SUNY system is a recently implemented procedure for presidential review. Although Wharton did not specify which of four evaluations would start first, he said Friday he expected that the first would begin sometime next month. SUNY, which in 1973 became the first public university to initiate periodic review of its presidents, adopted new guidelines last June. Under those, each team will visit a campus for up to three days. During that time members are expected to talk with and receive views of the president’s effectiveness and performance from the College Council chairperson, elected officers of the faculty and student body and “other persons deemed necessary by the team leader.” According to Corbally, the team is interested with opinions on the status and direction of UB and Ketter’s leadership He told The Courier Express “I think you need to get the opinions and evaluative information of all the constituencies on campus, but then you must balance those with some understanding of- what, in fact, a president can really do.” Although the guidelines call for both oral and written input, they prohibit the use of any opinion polls or surveys. According to Assistant to the Deputy to the Chancellor Robert Spencer, the team chairman does not have the authority to alter those guidelines. , Other teams for SUNY presidential review arc: SUNY/Binghamton (Clifford D.

There is no way to make such guidelines. When you’re dealing with college presidents, the field is limited,” Spencer maintained. He added, “I’m almost certain they are acquainted, but not much more than that.” Bulls vs. Westminster—P. 13 �N * I CL Radical teacher and author speaks but for fight against nation's illiteracy *Mfo HN#9f OfiBfl OUT IfN to OfAftf BOCfBtiBM’ by Ant MtiwtiM Spectrum Staff Writer A lantern and a book. With only these weapons in the battle against illiteracy, a' corps of young Cubans traversed the back roads of rural villages, at part of a revolutionary plan: They would conquer the inability to read that plagued 23.6 percent of the post-Batista population. And they did it. not as a missionary gestu but as part of an egalitarian social movement. Renewed educator and author Jonathon" Kozol is excited about the success of the Cuban literacy movement. Wednesday night in UB’s Fillmore Room, Kozol spoke enthusiastically about the effort explaining that, “one-hundred thousand ‘teachers’ (40 percent of whom were fourteen years-old or younger) got a brief, rapid training in the use of a primer specially designed for the campaign.” In a period of approximately nine months, he added, they taught almost all Cuban adults to read, ”... for the sake of the nation.” 1 Kozol’s most recent book. Children of the Revolution, details the two months he spent in Cuba documenting the crusade and talking with students and teachers. “If 'we want to make significant rather than trivial change (in this country's educational system), we must open our eyes to other societies.” he maintained. A long-time activist and advocate of racism-free “just education,” Kozol has found the inspiration been looking for in the Cuban zeal to abolish ignorance. The author’s ‘‘just education” concept retittaaft social and racial Equality accented by the freedom tonS&lop individual potential. , Many American educators, at well at others angered by the fadings of our nation’s schools, have found solace in Korol’s words, and hope within his exposes of the injustice inherent in the educational system. His first autobiographical work. Death at an barty Age, details hit experience at a fourth-grade teacher in a nearly ail-black Boston school which ended with his firing from the job eight days before the end of the academic year. He described the reasons for hit dismissal, remembering that “Long ago there was a civil rights movement. In that movement there was a symbol, very frightening, an ‘equals’ sign.” The principal of the school, he said, noticed the equality pin on Kozol’s lapel. The author recalled the administrator’s comment, "It’s a very pretty jnn, Mr. Kozol, but don’t wear it in the Boston public schools.” “She was very naive,” Kozol told the audience, “because she thought I thought it was the pin that really mattered. But I knew it was the idea of equality that drove her crazy.” Now, Kozol it not so angry and even a bit more hopeful that the problems of education—specifically illiteracy—can be successfully dcalth with in the United States. The numbers are staggering—30 million adult Ameskaps are fuactfenaDy ilHueate—-unable to write coherent, well-structured compositions and comprehend bask writing. In November 1978 The Chicago Tribune reported that 13 percent of all 17 year-olds (and 42 percent of Black 17 year-olds) lack reading skills necessary for filling out job applications. Korol advocates a national campaign to abolish illiteracy, with a national commitment to equal, quality education. ■ Environmental law Indoctrinated with complacence From his experiences in Boston, Kozoi went on to seek an alternative education system. Free Schools, his second book, was an attempt to combine a program for an open, “just education” with a firm grounding in hard academic subjects. Years later, full of anger, he poured out The Night is Dark and I am Far From Home, a harsh indictment of secondary education, in which students are indoctrinated—covertly and patriotically, he charges— to resign themselves to injustice, poverty and war. ~ Rkhard Lippcs, the legal counsel for the Love Canal Homeowners Association, will bo speaking on cnvironmcatal law Wednesday at 7:30 p.m. in 179 Fillmore, Ellkott Complex, Amherst Campus.

Get Them While They Last!! �Dept, of Education Name in the runningChancellor in cabinet? by Elena Cacavas Washington sources last week disclosed that SUNY Chancellor Clifton R. Wharton is “prominent” on the list of those being* considered by the Carter administration to serve as the new Secretary of Education. President Carter signed a bill Wednesday creating a federal Department of Education. Although White House aidtfs then said the search was far from complete, they added that candidates to fill the leadership post were being considered and some could be identified as top priority. Wharton’s name was one of six mentioned by sources as high on the list. The search for a chief to run the department—complete with 17,000 employees and a $14.2 billion budget—renewed Thursday when, according to sources, top candidate Jerry Apodaca (former Governor of New Mexico) was removed from consideration. Carter's new Department of Education is essentially an upheaval of the old federally-controlled U.S. Office of Education. Congressional action on September 27 ended years of heated debate when federal educational programs were transplanted from within the Department of Health, Education and Welfare (HEW) to a new, cabinet-level niche of their own. Experienced and respected SUNY ChancaHor CHIton R. Wharton Being consideredto heed new Education Department Wharton served as Michigan State University President before he became SUNY’s Chancellor in I978,assuming control 350,000 student, 64-campus system. Both Wharton and Flemming have been centrally involved with some of the largest and most prominent public educational systems in the nation. News Editor The new department is made up of fewer bureaucratic levels than the old Office of Eduction and was endorsed by the United States Student Association. Other names mentioned by Washington sources in the same context with Wharton’s were: Alan K. Campbell’s, director of the office of personnel management; Mary Berry, former assistant secretary for education under HEW; Wilson C. Riles, superintendent of California’s school system; Robben W. Flemming, former head of the University of Michigan; and television journalist William Moyers. Politics plays in As was reported in The Courier-Express on Friday, the two administrators also have extensive experience in Washington and are well-known and respected throughout the education community. Chancellor Wharton was not available for comment on Friday. The department’s direction is of key importance since it was conceived amidst controversy and could well be a target of future criticism. Many charge the department was created as a result of much political back-scratching. During the presidential campaign, Carter won endorsement from the. National Education Association (NEA) after he pledged to form the department. After the House composed a bill on the proposal, NEA—the nation’s largest faculty group—with 1.8 million members promised support for Carter in the 1980 primaries. Carter’s extended lobbying for the Department throughout his term has been attacked as s method to store up NEA support in the 1980 campaign. He received the teacher union endorsement on the day the bill was forwarded to him for his signature. Some sources speculated that politics wilt also play into the appointment process for a secretary, “as they do in any major appointment,” a White House aide told The Courier-Express While Apodaca formally remains on the candidate’s list, he is out of the running, an aide said. He was originally promoted by White House aides with an eye toward increasing appointments from the Hispanic Community. But, reportedly, after a meeting with Carter and some discussion of current education issues, he lost the lead. \ - Graduate physics here Ex-editor nabbed Council okayed by on grounds of trespassing SUNY’s Doctoral Council—which reviews PhD programs statewide—recommended to Commissioner of Education Gordon Ambach last week that UB’s graduate Physics program be continued without condition, according to Vice President for Academic Affairs Ronald Bunn. Bunn, a member of the Council, refused additional comment and told The Spectrum that until a final decision was made, there was “nothing else to talk about.” Physics and Astronomy Chairman Akira Isihara added that even he was unaware of any specifics of the Council’s action. He noted that he had heard from Bunn, who informed him of the result only by saying the outcome was “very, very good.” Last October, a review by the State Education Department (SED) cited a number of deficiences in UB’s doctoral program—deflciences that could have spiraled into the program’s cancellation. The Spectrum reported earlier this month that an evaluation team was sent out last Fall on a routine review. The team passed their recommendations to a rating council, which in turn sent it to the Doctoral Council. The Doctoral Council then sent it on to the Commissioner. The evaluating team, reported a source, was comprised of three distinguished professors from outside the SUNY system—David Lazurus, Langcnburg, and Eugene Merzbachcr. The report is a classified document because of an SED policy which makes all information submitted to it confidential, explained Bunn, who refused The Spectrum access to the material. Dean of the Faculty of Natural Sciences and Mathematics Duwaync Anderson told The Spectrum. that the SED report recommended additional faculty and better lecture hall facilities—a problem which has forced Physics 107 to be divided into four sections instead of the usual one. Graduate School Acting Dean Andrew Holt said that the program’s future is not In doubt and praised the University’s commitment to the department. “1 don’t believe the program is in jeopardy or representative of a low quality Department at all,” he explained. Veteran campus prophet Michael Stephen Levinson was arrested Wednesday by two officers from the Department of Public Safety for trespassing in Squire Hall. Levinson, the former managing editor of Thundercurrent, was barred from Squire last Spring by the Student Wide Judiciary (SWJ) after he was convicted of stealing 3000 copies of The Spectrum and dumping them in a receptacle behind Squire. But he was seen repeatedly in the building this semester and eventually found in contempt of court by SWJ. UB President Robert L. Ketter issued an order —at SWJ’s request—banning him from the building and he was picked up Wednesday at 5:35 p.m. for defying that order. “He was told he would be arrested for trespassing and that’s what he was arrested for,” Assistant Director of Public Safety Jack Eggcrt explained. Levinson held the managing editor’s position at Thundercurrent for two months, but was replaced Thursday. He was*also defeated in a bid for the paper’s Editor-in-Chief post by Howard Epstein. >Q MWOO »| Michael Stephan Lairinaon Levinson ran unsuccessfully for President of the Student Association last Spring.

The Love Canal Homeowners Association (LCHA) cautiously approved Governor Hugh L. Carey’s decision, but are demanding ihat the State purchase a total of over 500 homes. The State is currently paying the motel bills of many families who have vowed “never to return” to their homes. Carey’s, decision comes on the heels of a Congressional report criticizing New York for inadequately responding to the Love Canal health emergency. The report questions the State’s present relocation efforts, the nearlycompeted remedial construction, and also notes the “serious conflict of tstimony” between the State Health Department study and that of Roswell Park Institute Biology Researcher Beverly Paigen, a LCHA conslutant. Paigen last year that over 500 families be evacuated, after finding high incidences of miscarriages and birth defects in “wet areas." Underground streams called swales crisscross the canal area, possibly carrying hazardous chemicals dumped by Hooker Chemical Company. Last year the State relocated 236 families bordering the site, but Paigen many more are threatened. brieves CoafUcdag reports Paigen is “very happy" with the Congressional report, noting that the State attempted to discredit her study—which she admits had financial limits—but has yet to release its own data. The report advised the State to “relocate all families living in the wet areas until a satisfactory determination of the health effects, including a credible reconciliation of the Paigen findings, has been completed.” in contrast, the State Health Department’s multi-million dollar study found no health hazards beyond the originally evacuated except homes, for fetal toxicity—which it “has a plan for,” according to Love Canal On-Site Coordinator Bill Hartenstein.

Which is where you start.” Indeed. Gene Fahey won’t talk for the record about which “opportunities” for higher office he is considering but one can be certain that he has no “moral victories” in mind. Just real victories. Fahey, you may remember, is the 1973 SUNY Buffalo graduate who cut short his career as anti-Vietnam protester and alienated youth to get mixed up in the gritty world of Buffalo City politics. Now nearing the end of his first term on the Buffalo Common Council, Fahey faces a re-election challenge from Republican Albert Hausbcck, former Assemblyman and one of the grimmier, grittier figures in local politics. the most progressive members of the current Council, pressing for a municipal takeover of Niagara Mohawk, opposing nuclear pqwer and calling for shifts in federal spending from defense to domestic needs. But he has also disappointed some with his opposition to a citizen police review board and his reluctant to get involved in a controversy over the police department’s internal mechanism for dealing with citizen complaints—including complaints involving charges of brutality against the police.

Epstein was elected to the position by the paper’s staff two days earlier. After narrowly avoiding a loss of funding by a 3-2 vote at last month’s Sub Board meeting—which would have resulted in the paper’s demise— Thundercurrent was given one month to present the Board with a permanent Editor and an operating charter, and it “You have three options,” Jasen explained, “either to reduce the number of pages in upcoming issues, publish bi-weekly [instead of weekly), or cease publication in March.” Epstein said that efforts will be made to increase advertising in future issues to offset previous shortfalls. Sub Board’s Publication Division, in its monthly report, explained that advertising revenues for Thundercurrent have been as low as $300 an issue. Thundercurrent’ s press run has already been cut 4000 copies to 14,000. As was requested, a copy of Thundercurrent’ s charter was presented to the seven members of the 10 member board present at Thursday’s meeting. Claiming that it lacked several key points, Sub Board Executive Director Dennis Black admitted that the five page document was “five better pages than we had last month.” Board members suggested certain additions and deletions, mainly concerning the election of the Editor-in-Chief.

Noting that The Spectrum had a “monopoly” on advertisers in the University area, Epstein said Thundercurrenl was planning to go to the Elmwood Avenue area in hopes of finding prospective businesses interested in reaching the UB campus community. At a general staff meeting last Tuesday, Epstein was elected Editor-in-Chief in a race against two opponents, Joe Gelosi, and former Acting Managing Editor of the publication Michael Levinson.

When those little victories occur, they provide sustenance until the next little success—leaving one in search of a more tangible, longterm, perhaps idealistic goal. It is idealistic goals that drive The Spectrum. It is idealistic goals that we rarely reach. It is small seemingly meaningless victories in the total scheme that sustain us. It has been the pattern of recent weeks. We believe that the most crucial issue affecting this University this year and for many years to come will be the debate surrounding who will be UB President. We are sure that Robert Ketter's effect of this University is perhaps more significant for us—here and now—than any nationwide educational patterns, or shift in student career plans, or decline in the number of high school graduates. These broader, more basic concepts qf education are wht a campus newspaper is supposed to report about, critique, perhaps even influence. But the most pressing issue for this University is not that these more significant issues exist, but how Robert Ketter, his administration, and this University respond. The Spectrum has been providing careful coverage of the campus president, Ketter’s desire to retain his post, the political maneuverings of the Chancellor and the SUNY Trustees, and the response of campus constituencies. In the journalism world, we are winning many of the small battles, But in reality, the war is being lost. When Ketter first announced his plans this summer, we responded with a four-poage EXTRA the following day, detailing his plans, new presidential evaluation guidelines, and a review of Ketter’s past. We leaked his long-awaited Statement of Stewardship printing the document in full, two days before University Council Chairperson Robert Millonzi was slated to unveil the President’s self-assessment. Last week, we uncovered the names of two of the three evaluators after Chancellor Wharton and Ketter refused to disclose the committee’s make-up—a decision that smacked of political ties and further discredited what is supposed to be an objective evaluation of Ketter. But nothing has changed. Soon we will uncover when the threeperson team will come to campus. This Friday Ketter will speak to' students in Haas Gpunge—his sort of annual face-saving down-toearth, let’s comrriunicate, speech that only comes after the President is convinced he can no longer ignore student sentiment. But student input still remains a tenuous, ill-defined, potentially non-existent part of Ketter’s evaluation. Faculty and professional employees here share this unstable status regarding input into Ketter’s tenure. If ever there was a time for members of this University to be outraged it is now—outrage that this University is being shoved aside during the evaluation of its president. If efforts are concentrated on the guidelines, then less emphasis will be placed where it should be—on Ketter. Changing the guidelines could be just a small battle in the larger war. On the other hand, assuring student and faculty input, could be the crucial victory—the battle that changes the direction of the war, the one that secures an appropriate and judicial focus on Ketter, not on some alterior skirmish. It is an idealistic but not unrealistic goal that Robert Ketter should undergo an evaluation where campus constituents have a direct say and the facts are carefully weighed. Small victories —although sustaining—only serve to sidetrack us from that goal. The Spectrum Vol. 30, No. 28 Monday, 22 October 1979 Editor-in-Chibf Daniel S.

Registration laws stifle voting by Marc Qanz system doesn’t work fast but the boards of elections refuse to modify the iaw to make it easier for citizens to vote. The second option for the student voter is to register in Erie County. Yet paternalistic Erie County election officials disobey recent court decisions and refuse to register college students, mainly dormitory residents. Don't these citizens pay local sales and use taxes. They use the local banks and bars and supermarkets. Buffalo certainly doesn’t mind the healthy infusion of capital that these people bring into the area. Yet to allow them to vote is to allow a plague to set It's like drowning while engaging in a baptlstic exercise. Voting is among our most cherished rights.

' ... apologize for ... ™n ' Dreams of success d the * °" \ Kross Kultural Casualties by Robbie Cohen The city is the dream and vice-versa. I don’t know who uttered this or even if it was in reference to a particular metropolis. 1 do believe however that it evokes sublimely the anticipation and wonder of barreling into a large city at precious hours of day and night, or more precisely, at dusk'and dawn. Crisp air and a florescing sky set aglow by a the sun slowly dipping below a flat horizon. Trestles and overpasses shimmering in a golden hue, rivulets of fluttering light, diffusing and refracting on the placid surface of a broad lake. Enclosed by your hurtling cabin of steel glass and plastic polymers, the panorama moves like a three dimensional Bayeux tapestry, a palpable tapestry whose axis is shiftable, yawning up or down, turning north south east or west, 10, 20,40, 90, 130 degrees or more. Minutes flatten out, liberated from the dictatorship of the clock as the mind is sucked into a timeless introspective haze. The feeling is infectious, a virus’suffusing into the mental states of each passenger. As conversation lulls and delirium takes over, a sprawling prefab corporate assembly plant, forboding and uninhabited, whooshes by and you become its walls, its cold unnatural massiveness. It is a queer feeling, one that a psycholgist would undoubtedly pin with a cold clinical name, like disassociative response, a so called normal person’s manifestation of borderline schizophrenia. Only for you, its temporary. Some cities creep up on you, very, very slowly, displaying their unmistakable urban earmarks in graduated phases. Highway lights gird over your head; in darkness, they shoot out guiding beams which shorten and straighten out until the next beam locks onto your chromatic windshield, passing the baton in a madman’s photon relay! Suburban ranch houses give way to split levels, which in turn bow to six story, red brick edifices and finally the soaring condominium and ipartment complexes of the expanding urban mitosis. Pockets of urban decay, charred burnt out building and garbage littered streets. The unmistakably seamed web of poverty and affluence reconfirm past mental images, embellishing the purely informational cognition, you’re entering Gotham. Dejavu—familiarity. Lurking hooligans, Dresden, Savage Skulls, Jimmy Carter, the South Bronx, Charlotte Street, now ironically a tourist spot, for curious out-of-towners yearning to see the world’s most notorious bombed out section from the cushioned comfort of their air conditioned tourist buses. And then at long last there it is, pas the endless billboards and Seven-Up bottling plant. You crane your neck to the right, southwest over the Triboro, the Manhattan skyline—bridge after bridge, and hovering whirlybirds and jet exhaust flumes and buffeting roads. Ineffable. But then there are other cities, newer and perhaps as great, whose breathless downtown majesty materializes almost imperceptibly in the distant horizon and then inexorably grow larger and clearer as if looking through a zoom lens so slowly turning. There is transformation along the roadside, but your eyes are transfixed on destination Mecca. Light around a three lane highway bordered lake, tunnel vision obsession. Where are the slums? They’re nowhere to be found, at least not along Queen Elizabeth Way, and the Gardiner Expressway. It is one long industrial park of corporate prosperity, mostly American multinationals—Ford Litton Gulf. Humongous steelworks belching out smoke over Oakville, oil refineries, burning off gas in bright talons clawing at the sky over Hamilton. Ontario, the industrial heart of Canada. Toronto’s unreal CN Tower scrapes at its Ontario sky as a reminder that the province is its domain. The old city of York sits longitudially on the lake, the office monuments of Canada’s shifting banking and financial industry stare proudly and defiantly south. One could imagine them smiling impishly at the French city to the East—Montreal, a city which is fast losing its once unchallenged industrial and financial supremacy over the rest of Canada. You’re making your way off the Gardiner now. Nick Lowe screams that |t ain’t funny no more and the copper Bank of Montreal building shines brightly. You’re about to plunge into the city’s bourgeois core. Narcissism and malehicks are only moments away. that �Fight Hooker To the Editor: The Ad Hoc Committee for Responsible Journalism (ACRJ) in its letter of October 12, 1979, did not intend to call Into question the Integrity of the engineering profession. Rather, we sought -to express our outrage at The Spectrum’s irresponsible publication of an ad for Hooker Chemical. in regard to Pat Dooley’s letter of 10/17, we recognize that engineers are the people who will help prevent future Love Canals. We applaud your Ideals and acknowledge that concerned engineers are integral to creating a healthy environment. But, we are more skeptical than v / you. Hooker is a subsidiary of Occidental -Petroleum. Occidental is recognized as one of the worst environmental offenders in the country. One need only read the newspapers to discover the uncovering of,Occidental’s latest witches brew of caustic carcinogens. Mr. Dooley points out that the solution to “environmental problems lies less in castigation and more in recruiting proficient and concerned technical personnel.” What Mr. Dooley seemingly fails to grasp is that once one works for a company like Hooker or Occidental, one’s concern and technical proficiency become submerged to corporate needs. The engineers who dumped poison at the Love Canal knew what they were doing, as did their bosses. They were aware that metal drums full of toxics would eventually leak. The reality of American corporate capitalism however prohibited these people from exercising proper concern for the potential hazard. More often than not decisions Incorporate America are based on dollars and cents, not on “concern”. Love Canal began as an economic choice (the cost of proper disposal vs. dumping) and remains one today (proper relocation and care of Love Canal residents vs. neglect of these concerns). Mr. Dooley, we do not doubt your concern and present good Intentions. The realities of a system grounded in making money, however, dictate that If you are ever in a decision-making position, you too will be faced with economic decisions. We submit that your decisions will be affected by the same economic concerns as your predecessors. If your concern for the environment outweighs your company’s profit margin, you will not be in a decision-making position for long: if your concern, or other chemical engineers concerns, is real, don’t work for Hooker— fight them. Work for environmental groups, or Hooker’s responsible competitors (we acknowledge that some do exist). Let the Hookers of the world know that environmental recklessness v(lll not be tolerated. Hit them In their pocketbook. Let them know that talented technical people, like yourself and your colleagues, will'not work for them. And urge responsible newspapers not to print their ads. The Ad Hoc Abolish mandatory fee To the Editor: games, I would like to go on the record as supporting any legislation which will reduce or abolish mandatory student activity fees. I find such blatant misappropriation of earned money for such campus garbage as The Other One ahd various interest clubs an insult both to the campus community and to my budget. Admission fees should support intercollegiate Committee for Responsible Journalism participation fees should support intramural activities, and admission fees should support music, theater and movie performances. A campus newspaper should be funded by advertisements solely. Health and pharmacy services should be included in the mandatory health fee only (which already exists). Hehce, yes, let us abolish the mandatory student activities fee! Steven C. Sutton feedback Unsuspecting students To tho Editor Two girts who were dressed in regular clothing were asking money, supposedly for underpriviledged children, outside Squire Hall on Thurs., Oct. 18. In reality, they’re Hare Krishna members without their customary garb siphoning money probably for their own purposes. I don’t deny that the Hare Krishnas have a right to proclaim their philosophy, and ask for money, but it is when they use conniving methods on unsuspecting-victims that the students of this University must be warned. Saul Schwarzberg Off campus To the Editor: I am writing to protest the presence of Hare Krishna solicitors on the campus of our publicly funded university. Today two females are standing outside of Squire Hall soliciting donations for what they claim is an organization to help underprivlledged children but In reality is a front for the International Society for Krishna Conciousness (ISKCON). The money will not help children; it will merely serve to enrich the already wealthy Indian businessman who is running the Krishna movement. I protest this deception! I protest the use of my campus to solicit funds for the propagation of religion! Timothy P. McMahon Misrepresentation To the Editor: ORT TO .STUDENT \ > RATE, THE HAS JUST RTT-SEVEM WHICH WILL IODICALLY j I’m writing In protest to the presence of Hare Krishna devotees on campus. I want to make it clear that although I strongly disagree with their religious views, that is not the point of my protest. What I object to is the misrepresentation of the cult. Thursday, two female members stood outside Squire Union soliciting funds under the guise of helping underprivellged children. The unsuspecting students gave to what they though was a worthy cause, when in reality they were being deceived. Check Into what you’re giving your money to! Kathryn Maron RES THE URES... / Statistics To the Editor: Stop harping on Syracuse To the Editor: The carping by The Spectrum staff about Syracuse University’s new $26 million domed football stadium is beginning to wear a bit thin. I grew up in Syracuse, earned a B.A. from U/B and attended graduate school at Syracuse University. I found that (at least in my opinion) U/B is far superior to Syracuse U. academically, i would think that this alone should serve as some solace to U/B students. Ultimately, you go to college for an education and not football. Granted, it’s unfair of the state to aid a project like the Carrier Dome when the Amherst Campus remains any less than 100 percent complete. cant However, if the roles were reversed, if picture U/B saying “Thanks, but no thanks! That would be million. $15 the state proffered foolish just as S.U. would’ve been foolish to say “no”! Anyone familiar with the Syracuse area will quickly realize that Governor Carey’s gift was little more than an attempt to mollify the hostile I , reaction that liberal democrats receive in heavily republican central New York as they-seek state office. Now, I’m willing to bet that a large majority of the U/B students that bothered to vote, voted for Carey. To stand on the lawn and scream while Carey turned a shovel full of dirt was a nice symbolic protest. It might’ve been at least as effective If students had decided, as a symbolic gesture, to vote for another candidate. I guess we’re all too conditioned by what we hear In the classroom to ever admit that possibly a liberal should be voted out of office because he’s screwed us once too often. As I understand things, Squire Hall is supposed to be turned Into a dental clinic. Maybe it's time to put the Carrier Dome behind you and show some concern about an issue—the loss of the only centralized student union at U/B—which will further hurt the already deteriorated quality of life. Name withheld upon request As a representative of the graduate students in the Statistics Department, I would like to comment on some statements made recently In The Spectrum about our Department. In particular, I refer to the article of October 5 regarding the Physics Department and Howard Duluth's letter of October 8. Both of these contain Incorrect statements that are demoralizing and insulting. The article states that the number of graduate students In our Department has decreased 51 percent since 1976-77. Although it Is a fact that the number of Statistics graduate students has decreased, the percentage is not close to that given. According to the Dean’s report, there were 22 graduate students in 1976,22 in 1977 and 18 In 1978. The Dean's report states that there are 16 such students this year. Adequate research should have been done before writing the article. Mr. Duluth’s statement that the Statistics Department has lost ALL (his caps) of Its most distinguished faculty Is equally erroneous. In fact, with the exception of Dr. Sidney Addelman, who recently passed away, we have had the same distinguished faculty for the last six years. Our faculty has some very respected and well-known members. We in this Department realize that every department at this University has its problems. However, we feel that we have had more than our share. As everyone knows, it is very difficult to solve the problems that constantly occur. We do not appreciate the additional burden of having incorrect, misleading and derogatory statements written about us or our excellent faculty. David R.

Spectrum Stiff Writer Editors note: The author contacted several UB pharmacists along with local pharmacists and physicians in the course of researching the story. All refused to be identified. Are generic drugs really a “better buy” than the more expensive brand name drugs? The answer appears simple enough to the consumer who has to pay the higher price for the brand name drugs at the pharmacy counter. In reality, generic drugs are not always the bargain they appear to be and may present a host of problems to both patients and health care professionals, according to many UB pharmacists and local druggists. A consensus among local pharmacists shows that generic drugs arc definitely cheaper than brand name drugs, sometimes as much as one-tenth of the actual acquisition cost of the brand name drug. This may appear at first glance to be a substantial saving but in reality the difference that the consumer pays can be very little. “Most pharmacies calculate the cost of a drug and add a standard dispensing fee of approximately three dollars.” claimed a source in the pharmacy department who asked not to be identifed.He asserted that a three dollar dispensing fee is added to all prescription drugs, regardless of their manufacturer. The difference in some generic drugs is not limited to an argument of economics. There are many other factors to be Wt"'' considered. As cited by “The New Handbook of Prescription Drugs,” when a brand name drug is introduced to the market, it is done so at a cost of millions of dollars to the manufacturer.The high cost of brand name drugs is reflected in the company’s efforts to recoup the cost of this investment. Brand name drugs are also subjected to extensive testing and evaluation, especially in the realm .of “bioavailability.” Hioavailability means thijj a drug will be present in a certain place in the body at a predictable concentration at a Is generic the best prescription? j.-VF* are excellent drugs and are as bioavailable as the brand name drugs, the problem lies in determining which are effective and which are not “Many generic drug manufacturers do not supply health care professionals with the necessary bioavailability data," said a UB pharmacist. * More available As a result, he contended, there are generic drugs available any pharmacy which could be of questionable bioavailability. Most pharmacists feel that a major step in solving the problem would be to require all manufacturers to supply this data to pharmacists and physicians so that they could determmine which one is the best value in tem\s of economics and bioavailability. "However, smaller manufacturers simply could not afford the immensely expensive testing required to demonstrate bioavailability.” claimed the pharmacy souce. There is also a problem with the results of this type of testing, since different companies can reach different conclusions on the same drug. Without this bioavailability data on hand the physician simply cannot make a rational judgement concerning the prescribing of a teric drug. 'any physicians contacted by The Spectrum admitted they no way of knowing which pharmacy carried generic drugs if those drugs were equal to the major brand drugs in to vailability. survey also indicated a hesitancy by physicians to write ;riptions for generic drugs because of this uncertainty, le physicians were not particularly concerned while others 'lastly refused to prescribe any generic unless he knew the le prec.Jictab jc lime according to a pharmacy department source. These factors are essential and predict the outcome of the effectiveness of a drug. A generic drug can be exactly the same chemically as a brand name drug but not be as bioavailable for many reasons, the source said. Generics actually dangerous He maintained that the importance of bioavailability cannot be underplayed since the use of a drug whose effects are not precise may be dangerous. The drug known as Dilantin has a generic counterpart Phenytoin that is prescribed to control epileptic seizures. The bioavailability of Dilantin is well documented and with the advent of generic substitution laws a well meaning physician may opt for the generic form. Unfortunately, Phenytoin has been shown by studies to be not as bioavailable in some cases-as Dilantin and ■serious problems have arisen due to this. “Patients who were previously controlled by Dilantin therapy experienced epileptic seizures while taking the generic counterpart, Phenytoin,” he claimed. As a result, the generic Phenytoin has recently been removed from the New York State list of generically equivalent drugs. This is not an isolated example. Although many generics 1 brand involved. Iso, few physicians contacted knew which drugs have ric counterparts and which do not. “The physician is not position to judge a generic drug unless he or shehas the ailability data on hand.” said one doctor: icording to the source in the pharmacy department, the y recourse to the generic drug dilemma appears to be revised legislation that would require all generic manufacturers to supply bioavailability data to both physician and pharmacist. Also, he said, A revision of the New York State Drug Substitution Law should be in order to allow the pharmacist to exercise professional judgement in regard to the substitution of generic drugs. “This point is also troublesome because some pharmacists would simply eliminate generic drugs from their stock for economic / reasons,’Vhe said. Although these problems arise with onijft a .few generic drugs, there must be more communication bejyiigji physician, pharmacist and legislators in order to resolt#vl|ifc dilemma, educators here feel. The concept of generic is to provide a cheaper alternative for the already economically devastated consumer. 60 % OFF el)c Jietar Jlork (Eimcs During McGraw-Hill Health Professions Bookstore Week October 22-26 you’ll find discounts up to 50% on McGraw-Hill medical and nursing bestsellers plus .

UB coach Dr. Norman Baker—who moonlights as a history professor—felt the outcome usually persecuting the GCC defense by keeping the ball in the visitors’ end. UB’s Ted Viglietta and Donovan Campbell were instrumental on offense by feeding teammates with crisp passes. Campbell felt some of the GCC men were dirty players, claiming that “their roughness took away from my game.’’ Viglietta felt differently. “You might say tve’re not great scoring threats,” he admitted candidly. could have been different if the game had been played on another field. The teams squared off on the Rotary practice field. “We had the skills over them. If we had a bigger field, we would have beaten them,” Baker claimed. Adding to the cramping confinement of the field was the presence of the varsity football team, which was practicing on both sides of the field. The Bulls’ only tally came in the dpening minutes of play. Denis Marszalkowski’s 25 yard shot from the left side nestled in the right corner before the GCC goalie could react. Marszalkowski described it afterward, “It was a placement shot more than anything else. I thought the goalie would have it; but he couldn’t catch up to it.” The game wasn’t as close as the score suggests. Buffalo often dominated play in the first half, Unfair tactics The GCC left forward harassed the UB goalie in the first 45 minutes of play—and himself fell victim to a hard tackle in the second half, forcing his early departure. His headlong dashes toward the Buffalo goal were halted by the sliding tackles of the Bull’s dangerous Jim DeVore. Few spectators showed up for the game. Some students and a faculty member watched the home team, but an almost equal number cheered for Genesee. During his halftime talk. Baker asked his troops for some more points in the second half. His words must have had some effect —a pair of UB attackers charged toward a certain score early in the second period, but the fumbling of a pass gave the GCC defense time to spoil Spectrum Looking for a career in high technology?

The UB football team jogged onto the field at Westminster College on Saturday, facing a team that has been ranked among Division IPs top 20 every year since 1970. The Titans’ Homecoming attracted about 4700 loud fans who must have known that Westminster had not bowed to a Homecoming game adversary in 28 years. The Bulls had problems of their own. The team had just completed a four-hour bus trip, and was short on starters with eight first-stringers injured and not playing before the game kicked off. Even the cheerleaders were confused as to whether they should give their “Hello” cheer first, since they were visiting. Few firsts “We just couldn’t get out of the ' MASKS & DISGUISES i ■ ■ ni>a Huonra rany GEORGE attack, moving from their own 15-yard line to the 35. The longest yardages on this series came on a seven-yard run by Tony Percival, and a 12-yard completion from Rodriguez to Joe Licata. Following two incomplete passes, UB punter Sam Monaco kicked the ball to the Westminster 41-yard line. The Titans then ran the ball against the Bulls’ line, gaining 22 yards before the endof the quarter. Rich Dalrymple for an 11-yard loss to end the first half. The third and fourth quarters followed the same pattern. US’s Licata summed up the last half, noting: “We couldn’t stop the run, and couldn’t move on offense.’’ The Bulls’ biggest gains included a six-yard pass from Rodriguez to Frank Price and a 14-yard run by Tim Najuch over fhenght side in With the ball on Westminster’s the third quarter. six-yard line, the Bulls’ defense got The Titans thoroughly tough.

They could play the game over. “We drove 25 yards in S plays before probably wouldn’t show up,” the Rossi reached Titans’ quarterback coach responded. organizing an attack, Monaco booted a 50-yard bomb to nail the Titans at their own 39. Past midfield, on a third down and three, the Titans fumbled the ball—UB’s Sean Kowal recovering. But Westminster again stopped the Bulls’ inadequate offense. Monaco punted once more, this time producing a 44-yarder. attempt at , Kept coating Bulls’ comerback Paul McCarthy stalled Westminster’s drive with a timely interception at the goal line, and ran it out to the Buffalo 16. Following a no-gain series of downs, UB’s punt attempt was blocked, and the Titans recovered the ball on Buffalo’s 17-yard line. The Bulls’ defense came alive to hold the Titans, including UB defensive tackle Gary Brown’s key solo effort, stopping DeCruttola on a third and two situation. Westminster settled for a -27-yard field, goal by Ron Bauer, making the score 104). Following the visitors’ next "I f hole. We always got lousy field position.” explained Bulls’ coach Bill Dando. ‘‘With Maier hurt on the kickoff, that took a lot of starch out of our sails.” Mark Maier, UB’s starting tailback, sprained ligaments in his right leg returning a first quarter kick-off. Lack of a sustained drive by the UB offense kept the defense on the field most of the afternoon. Buffalo’s total of three first downs, compared to Westminster’s 22, tells the story. The Bulls accumulated a mere 70 total yards offense—inducting 39 yards in the air. “They had a good offense, they could run the ball,” observed UB quarterback Jim Rodriguez who connected on only five of 18 pass attempts. “We should have mixed it up more, thrown on first down, instead of waiting until third, when they expected it.” After the touchdown run by the Titans’ John DeGruttola in the first quarter, Buffalo attempted to CaMtaJaA* )uppn & CO. 6IS Main at Oiippawa •54-0673 mat! “Buffalo's I Westminster’s spirit was further bolstered when a parachutist fell out of the sky before gametime, and landed on the field, dad in the lavender and white Westminster school color$< Immediately following, UB lost the coin-toss and the game, 24-0. It was the Bulls’ first shutout loss since the reinception of football two years ago, and put their 1979 log at 3-4. The Titans evened their record at 3-3. The Bulls’ defense, given the blame for many of this season’s losses, put on an inconsistent show once again, but could not be held responsible this time. The Buffalo attack was nonexistent, forcing the defensive unit to be on the field for most of the contest. Westminster generated 371 yards on offense, including 276 rushing.

' it 1 1 7 �* Councilman a. interview—will help accomplish that. ABOUT LEADERSHIP: “I consider it my responsibility to respond to certain things. Little basic things like Twin Fair (residents near a proposed department store complex asked Fahey to help them stop that development because they believed it would their disrupt neighborhood). In 1 the political system the way it’s designed there’s always someone to represent the businessman, there’s always someone to represent the development scheme of things. But there’s nobody to represent those 25 people who live on that block. And that's what a district councilman is supposed to do. The same is true with the Stacks Bar(where neighbors have complained about rowdy bar patrons). 1 didn’t create those issues. People came to me and said ‘wfiat ate, you going to do" about it?* and I said, ‘well, let me ? try.’” ABOUT THE REAL ISSUE; .it’s all economics. All of the domestic issues of great concern are who has how much money, to do what, and how do they get it. Those are the greaj issues.” ABOUT POWER: “The ultimate center of power is the boardroom in the bank. That’s really where the real power is at. I think an issue that’s very important is the merger that’s being proposed between the Hong Kong-Shanghai Bank and Marine Midland. It elicited very little local reaction but I think it would be a bad thing for the area. There’s just nobody, of any consequence, that gives a good goddman about it one way or the other. 1 think the net result will be that people’s money from this area won’t be spent in this area. That’s happening now but it’ll happen at even greater rates. ABOUT BANKERS: “People like the Knoxes, put in their share, do their civic thing, the Albright and all that stuff that’s all well and good but 1 really would rather have them buy $10 million worth of bonds from the City to sell mortgages to people.” “Banks gotta take some risks for us. We need some risks. Whether it’s risks in an area like that (home mortgages) or whether you go back to more basic things, risks in terms of ntfw kinds of industries coming in. So, they take a chance with some of their capital. If they don’t take a chance there’s not going to be any more jobs for us and so people won’t be able to afford the homes “ . DISCOUNTS .

They don’t have any confidence in it either, and they don’t put anything into it. So, redlining becomes not just a symbol of a bank drawing a red pencil around an area in the city, but it becomes a symbol of mind-sets and confidence. ABOUT OUR MONEY: “There needs to be an understanding of where the power is: The power is dollars. And how do you use the dollars that are available to you to help turn your existence around. That can be done withoutrunning to Washington and that can be done without crying to Albany. It can be done right here.” “You gotta start out, too, with the premise that it’s our money. It’s the people’s money because they’re the ones that put it there. Just like taxes are the people’s money. So is the money that’s on deposit.” —continued from page 5- e • e ABOUT A CHALLENGE POLITICAL TO THE FINANCIAL ESTABLISHMENT: “I don’t know if we have to challenge it (the power of the banks). We have to direct it. Help it. I don’t want to challenge them .because they’re gonna win! Who’s gonna benefit by challenging them? Throw down the gauntlet to them? And they’ll say: “Fine, yeah, right buddy. Okay, throw down all the gauntlets you want. I got the money. You can holler and scream and moan and bitch but I got the money. ‘You’re not going to get any support or cooperation by throwing down the gauntlet to them. They’re just going to ignore you. They’ll laugh at you, let you rattle in your cage. They don’t ■£; care.” ABOUT THE NOTION THAT THE ’80s WILL BE A TIME OF . , „ POLITICAL RENEWED ACTtVjSStffc That’s a cyclical theory of history. I don’t know if it the change of decades responds as some people seem to believe. Everybody whothinks fondly of the 60’s believes that. They hope that, since the 70’s sure were lousy .so they figure the 50’s were lousy and the sixties were good, so the 70’s were lousy and so the 80’s will be good. I don’t know if that’s the case. It could get worse. For instance, we don’t have any oil. We can go one of two ways: to new energy sources or the people of the country could Yay: ‘piss on the Arabs. Let’s go take their oil.’ And we could be at war.” “Oh, all of that left-right stuff. None of that stuff works One of the problems in American politics is that all our politics are not defined by any sort of idea but are defined by culture. People who are seen a certain way, people who have different sexual values, who have different kinds of clothes, different kinds of education, are defined as either left or right.” ABOUT GOOD GUYS AND BAD GUYS: “I’ve always thought that it would be nice if it were five or six years ago and I was at this stage of my life, I’d probably like to go out to California and work for Cesar Chavez or something like that. But now the issues aren’t the same. 1 would like a nice clear-cut issue, like, where those guys over there are the bad guys and we’re the good guys and there’s no question in any reasonable person’s mind the way it should go. Maybe it’s because I’ve been involved with this stuff (on the Common Council) but it doesn’t seem to me like there arc a lot of issues—there arc some that lend themselves to that (clear-cut . " . . . . choice).” ABOUT BEING COUNCILMAN: “Anybody in their right mind would get bored with this job. I don’t mean to sound like I don’t appreciate it and all that. It’s just that a lot of the stuff is pretty cut-and-dricd. There’s a lot of problems and there’s not a lot you can do about most of the problems. (A city councilman) is the lowest rung on the political ladder. You’re the most immediate person to people in your neighborhood. They don’t ever see their assemblyman, or their state senator or their congressman. They see the mayor once on TV, ana that’s it. The councilman lives around the corner and if they’re aggravated about something they can go and bang on his door at seven o’clock on a Sunday morning and And out what he's going to do about it. And a lot of times there isn’t much you can do about it. I’m frustrated with it. And so that frustration has led to boredom with the job. ABOUT RUNNING FOR MAYOR: “1 think everybody in the Council wants to be Mayor. We’re all little Mayors. Everybody in politics wants to be President. I think you have to start out with that assumption. Then you work up from there. Sure, I’m interested in running for Mayor.” �classified JHt FAU .'Ht —CMNA CONFERENCES for couples preparing AD INFORMATION CLASSIFIEDS may be Spectrum’ office, 355 placed ONE BEDROOM available in 4 bdrm flat conveniently located to MSC on Lisbon Ave. Completely furnished, washer and dryer, modern kitchen with dishwasher and garbage disposal.

News Editor The University’s American Studies program has “applied” for the right to offer PhDs, thus approaching a fulfillment of an eleven~year-old dream and soothing some of the frustrations which have accompanied the program’s growth and progress. According to the original director of the program and current professor in American Studies Lawrence Chisolm, a top priority in 1968 at the program’s inception was the development of a strong graduate offering. “But that,” he uaid, “was held up by administrative opposition at the President Kctter and Vice President Somit level 'disguised as bureaucratic incompetence.” A PhD proposal requires University President Robert L. Ketter’s authorization. A letter of intent was issued to The American Studies program Is essentially a department under the wing of the Faculty of Arts and Tetters. It currently offers bachelor and masters degrees for study concentrated in any one of its three branches—Puerto Rican Studies, Native American Studies and the Women’s Studies Program. The absence of a doctoral offering has been the cause of much of departmental malaise in recent years. Last year frustrations culminated when Associate Professor in Women’s Studies Lillian Robinson announced her resignation. Contributing in part to her departure was fury over the University’s handling of the doctorate Many roadblocks With reference to outside evaluations of American friday Vol. 30, No. 27/SUNY at Buffalo/19 October 1979 distributed free to the Univerelty community/llmlt one copy per person The Chisolm Studies—which termed “blue ribbon”—Robinson then said,“I have since read 'a great many evaluations of .graduate programs. Never have I seen one as unstinting in its praise as ours was; never have I seen a department actually penalized for earning % such praise.” Explaining her colleague’s resignation last Spring, Professor Elizabeth Kennedy—currently .away ort sabbatical—said it became necessary “because the University was dragging, its feet with the PhD program.” But the pace has since picked up and Ketter’s letter showed, according to Chisolm, a “renewed awareness of the necessity to provide doctoraj-level training for people to make important contributions to the field.” Chisolm said that Ketter’s application came as the result of a State-wide campaign to persuade him of its —continued on page 26— %ke to more than 100 student volunteers from Creighton University.

It isn’t. So you stagger into the shower and try to clear your head for that impending chem 101 test. You’ve got an hour but you start to panic—was that moles per molecule, or molecules in a mole? And the moles and the molecules rush indistinguishably through your head. So you go to the medicine cabinet and fumble through the bottles and you down that little lifesaving capsule. A half hour to to recall capsule. go. Your head clears—you ace the test . . . A pill that makes you smarter? This one does, according to Hansl, Nikolaus a R. Neuropharmacologist at Omaha’s Creighton University. “I had the first good evidence 10 ago,” said Hansl of the supposed intelligence boosting effects of the drug. “It’s been pretty much a one-man show,” he added. “1 worked out ,the years biochemistry, pharmacology, synthesis and the clinical testing.” The white crystajline compound is known by its serial number, PRL-8-53, which is easier to swallow than its chemical name—3-{2-benzyl methyl amino ethyl) benzoic acid metiiyl ester hydrochloride. The drug is neither a stimulant nor a depressant. “It doesn’t get you high, so it doesn’t provide any potential for abuse,” he said. According to Hansl, the drug works by amplifying chemical signals to the brain. These cholinergic and adrenergic chemicals are the basic carriers of information, he said. An amplification of this chemical activity results in improved learning and memory, he maintained. The Rally at Hayes C Students protest Hooker’s role in the Love Canal toxic tragedy by Joe Zingale Spectrum figures and nonsense syllables. The following week, he retested the same students after taking a placebo—a sugar pill. He found a dramatic improvement in the students’ performance while under the influence of the PRL-8-53, while the placebo had effect. Hansl noted that the effect of PRL-8-53 is two-fold. “Learning while under the drugs influence is more lasting and retrieval of old information is also improved,” he claimed.’ PRL-8-53 may soon be on druggist’s shelves. Pacific Research is presently negotiating with several Pharmaceutic companies, Hansl noted. Although the compound was tested in small quantities in its powdered form, he speculated, it will probably be marketed as a two or five mg Staff Writer Over 100 students confronted the Hooker Chemical Corporation Tuesday, demanding that the firm bear responsibility for the Love Canal crisis. But a few students took matters into their own hands —breaking windows and blocking the entrance to Hayes Annex C where corporation representatives were interviewing students for jobs. Organizers of the rally were pleased with the turnout but unhappy with the breakdown later that afternoon. Pat Young of The Other One one of the members of the Love Canal Coalition whichspoiftored the rally, said that the original purpose of the rally was to show support for the Love Canal Homeowners. The rally was not to protest Hooker’s recruiting students on campus, he emphasized, but to show solidarity with the victims of the Love Canal., Inside: Basic rights violated—P. 5 / The rally started out slowly vwith 15 to 20 protesters picketing Hayes C but gained momentum as it moved to Haas Lounge in Squire Hall. Two speakers from the Love Canal Homeowners Association Joann Hale and Laurie Nowak, told the crowd of roughly 200 intent listeners about the “horror story” of the Love Canal residents. Crowd moved Nowak described the fear parents have for their children’s health, and broke into tears when she revealed that she had had four miscarriages. s Both woman were late for their Haas Lounge engagement since they had been meeting with Governor Hugh L. Carey, in Buffalo to support the Transportation Bond Act. The homeowners-again urged Carey not to cut pff State funding for residents effects last for about seven hours, Hansl said— The compound was stumbled upon accidentally at Pacific Research Laboratories in Santa Barbara (of which Hansl is the founder and major stockholder) while searching for a tranquilizer that wouldn’t impair intellectual functioning. In testing the drug on mice and rats, Hansl said he noticed an increase in the animals’ mental abilities. On sale? More recently the drug has been tested on human subjects, he said. Hansl administered the compound Pacific Research is currently working on refining the compound. Hansl said that an improved version has been discovered which shows evidence of improving “higher cognitive functioning such as correlation and association.” Hansl said that the research on the new version has been restricted to animals and won’t be subject to human clinical testing for about five months. Hansl believes that PRL-8-53 might help elderly people with failing memories and “average adults under intellectual strain who must deal with an increasingly complex environment.” Two down, one to go. .. Edwin H. Young, President of the University of Wisconsin, will likely be the second person on the team that will evaluate UB President Robert L. Ketter, The Spectrum has learned. When asked if he were selected by SUNY Chancellor Clifton Wharton to serve, Young responded, “I cannot say. You have to get that information from Wharton or Ketter.” Of the inany presidents contacted by The Spectrum throughout the country, Young was the only one who did not outright deny serving on Kettcr’s threeperson evaluation team. When contacted by another reporter. Young said, “I should not give out any information or they might not let me come.” Former President of the University of Illinois Joh» Corbally will serve as Chairperson of the evaluation team.

Only the luckiest young reporters wake up owning a newspaper. But that’s what recently happened to David Perdew interning as a photographer for The Louisville Courier-Journal and Times. While on assignment, Perdew met the owner of a community weekly a would be politician who thought he wouldn’t have time to run the naner and a ; campaign—in his hometown of New Castle, Indiana.-A “I woke up owning one (the newspaper) and dumping my heart, soul, guts and money into it,” lamented Perdew now $20,000 poorer after his nine month stint as publisher. Upon his graduation from Indiana University, where he majored in journalism, Perdew assumed control of The Henry County NewsRepublican. The terms: no money down and a promise to pay the former owner 20 percent of the net profit over four years, an offer no entrepenuer could refuse. The next nine months unfolded as a purgatory for the untested journalist who was confident that he had learned all he needed to know about running a newspaper while sitting in his college classrooms. Perdew began his job as an idealist. From the first staff meeting on, he talked about changes to be made in the paper. He planned to transform the image of the New-Republican from a below average community weekly which was little more than a businesss mouthpiece to a paper that would, earn a reputation for reporting on community affairs. “We wanted to introduce the 25,000 citizens of New Castle to their government and leaders. The daily paper in town had done a poor job of covering local news too,” he claimed. t i nm City Editor (Stipended position) — Come up to room 355 Squire Haii and ask for Danny.

Sleepless nights sandwiched into 60 to 80 hour work weeks started to bring results. The number of subsceibers virtually doubled after three months. “Impatience was my trademark, but the middle-class work ethic told me that if 1 worked hard, I could do anything,” he surmised. Yet, Perdew’s schemes to increase circulation eventually put him out of business. With promises of a healthy commission, he finangled his 81 year-old great-aunt Winnie to help attract new subscriber by telephone solicitation. Four months later, circulation was up 130 percent but Aunt Winnie’s commissions were becoming larger than Perdew’s paycheck. “The checks to Winnie were going out faster than I could collect the income she generated,” he explained. Another scheme of Perdew and his colleagues was to supply a free issue of the News-Republican to every resident of New Castle. He spent four days without sleep preparing the project—driving to the printer, folding addressing and distributing 22,000 papers in the major drive. But the effort lost money and Perdew feels that area advertisers and townspeople were to blame. Many had previously expessed a disenchantment with the daily paper and had led the rookie publishers to beiieve they would receive support in the form of ad revenue which never materialised. “I thought they were friends and when we needed them most they never shpwed up,” Perdew complained. In exercising his journalistic ideals, Perdew insisted that in the paper’s production room, editorial copy rated first priority. “Until 1 started going down the drain, then I tried to do a real quick backswing” he said. The final three months of Perdew’s weekly newspaper career were beset by panic. The notoriety of being a hotshot young journalist in a small town had long worn off along with the novelty of the paper. An accountant friend struggled over the paper’s books and begrudgingly informed Perdew that the News-Republican was losing $500 to $1000 a week. Just five months after his first issue, Perdew was $48,000 in debt. Lets do it again After operating the publication for almost nine months Perdew decided to take advantage of the final clause in his contract, he turned in his green News-Republican visor, burned his press card and returned the paper to its former owner absorbing the financial loss it has accumulated under his direction, a final tally of $20,000. But like any other aspiring entreprenuer, Perdew picked up the pieces and moved on. He looks back on his months as publisher as “an investment more than anything else” and insists that the experience gained at the News-Republican has landed him better jobs with other chains. He has since worked for a daily in Lawrence, Kansas before taking his present job with the Gannett chain in Rochester N.Y.. Perdew still has aspirations of giving orders around the office, urrently, he is toying with the idea of starling his own magazine in the Rochester area. erdew is persistent. He has to be. He is well on his way perfecting the ehcate balancae between being a writer and a businessman. But being a one-man show, he knows this will take time. “1 won’t give up though. I’ll do it again,” he insists. �1 ~*.H •.

Faculty Dean George Levine now awaits a major shift—either towards the elusive pot of gold, or back down . T, the familiar path. The national trend towards profession-oriented majors such as Engineering and Management has left Humanities courses with fewer students, and as a result. Arts and Letters with repeated budget cuts. Although the national trend shows no sign of slowing the almost 13 percent increase in UB students taking liberal arts courses this fall, has left Chairman of the English Department Gale Carrithers “cautiously optimistic that we’ve turned the comer.” Enrollment in a majority of Arts and Letters departments has escalated, with major increases in English and Modem Languages. Although Dean Levine said he was “pleased” with the increases, he remains pessimistic on how Arts and Letters will fair in next year’s budget. - Dean of Arts and Letters George Levine 'Cautiously optimistic'about future by Mark Meltzer Campus Editor^ Although the 1980-81 State budget is still months from completion, it appears unlikely now that the package will include requested money for SUNY’s intercollegiate athletic programs. Athletics, both intercollegiate arid intramural, are currently funded by mandatory student fees, but many believe that State funding would stabilize the intercollegiate programs—which have suffered from allocations that often fluctuate from year to year. The Student Association of the State University (SASU) has made (he request for State funding of one of its top lobbying campaigns over the past year, but has had little success. SASU has convinced SUNY Central that State funding would be beneficial, but the SUNY leadership’s three year phase-in plan for state funding met defeat last year. More recently, SASU, supported by the SUNY Board of Trustees, asked for $300,000 in the State Supplemental budget to end the funding disparity between men’s and women’s intercollegiate programs. But despite Title IX—the federal law that mandates equality between the sexes in athletics and all other brances of education—the $300,000 request was denied. SASU estimates that $1.75 million was spent by students throughout the state last year to fund intercollegiate athletics. No way With inflation chewing away at the already lean SUNY budget, many SASU officials are skeptical that the Legislature will even consider a grant for a program not previously funded by the state. SASU President Sharon Ward concedes, “There’s no way we’re going to get a 13 percent increase in our base budget.” Ward is certainly not eager to put academic programs in danger by shifting money from those areas to athletics. “We will try not to compromise,” she noted. “We don’t feel we have to put up with that anymore.” But, added SASU Legislative Director Sara Gould, “We don’t want to see academics cut for athletics.” SASU is exploring possibilities for intercollegiate funding beyond a separate State budgetary allocation. One alternative would set a formula by which a fixed percentage of student funds would be regulateid for intercollegiate programs across SUNY. That method however, would continue a disparity that SASU itself ■ ***-*»*, i The rccipicni of 12 of the 24 budget cuts institured last year, the Faculty will, Levine fears, probably fall victim to the affects of the University’s enrollment shortfall. ‘‘Even though we have increased our enrollment significantly,” Livine remarked, ‘‘the University as a whole fell short.” Although not expecting any budget cuts, he indicated that Arts and Letters again might not be permitted to replace retiring faculty members. Levine also.poiitted out thu since one effect of the Springer Report is to devalue many courses from four to three credits, Arts and Letters will probably have the same number of full-time equivalents (FTE) even though the actual numberof students increased this year. The Springer he noted, cancels out this semester’s increase. “On the one hand I feel good we pulled our enrollments up, but with Springer, we’re in just as much jeopardy as last year,’* he remarked. Levine said thatit was “stil too early to tell’’ why enrollments are up. but indicated that continued efforts by Arts and Letter’s faculty to promote their courses have helped. “We made an attempt to change our curriculum: we’re offering a lot of new courses, trying to relate the humanities to technology.’’ English Chairman Carrithers, expressing relief that figures are beginning to turn in his department’s favor attributed the increases to “real productive efforts to do things in a sensible way, in the wake of severe budgetety problems.’’ Carrithers reiterated Levine’s view that his Department will not recievc —continued on page 26— State unlikely to fund intercollegiate athletics points out. SaAe amount It takes the same amount of money to fund quality football teams on a campus with 10,000 students as it does to fund quality football teams on a campus with 2000 students,” SASU’s position paper states. “Yet, the present method of funding provides larger schools with more money for intercollegiate sports than smaller schools.” Another alternative, SASU stated, is a funding grant through the New York State Sports Authority, chaired by former speaker of the State Assembly Stanley Steingut. The Sports Authority is a separate corporate body. UB is nearing the end of a four year funding agreement with the Student Association that will expire after the 1980-81 academic year. The pact, according to UB Director of Men’s Athletics Ed Muto, provided stability for this University’s programs but did not allow for growth or inflation. Student Association Athletic Affairs Coordinator Gary Devin—theChairman of UB’s policy-making Athletic Governance Board —said the Board has not yet discussed the future of athletic funding here beyond the four year plan. But, he added, it will likely debate UB priorities and past performance before his term ends. The board has “not really” thought of State funding in informal discussions about the future, because, he said, “There’s not much hope of it.” Service or teaching? Dean seeks to clarify role Editor’s note: This is the segment in a series on the University’s Black Studies Department. by John Lapiana Spectrum Staff Writer The decline of UB’s Black Studies Department—reported in The Spectrum last week—is part of a general slump afflicting the entire Social Sciences Department, explained Dean of the Faculty of Social Sciences Kenneth Levy. “Black Studies is not the only department with problems,” Levy said. “Other departments have also suffered heavy cuts of faculty lines.” Student demand, Levy pointed out, has important effects on departmental allocations. “Out of 14,000 undergraduates here, approximately 20 are either majoring or joint majoring in Black Studies. But there is a fairly large number that would like to take one or two courses.” The low number of majors may put the Department in a “service role” which would require fewer faculty. For a program to offer a major, there must be a variety of courses and more faculty. Levy said it was not clear to him what the faculty size should be for the demand. To help clear up the haze shrouding the beleagured Department, Levy has suggested of Black Studies Department an external evaluation comprised of members outside the Department. The task force’s job would be to make suggestions on what role —either degree granting or service—the Department should take. Then, Levy declared, “We will know what resources to allocate to the Department.” This committee would also help erase the “ambiguity of the Department’s mission”—thus bringing an agreement between Administration and Department on how much Black Studies should receive. Both Levy and Black Studies Chairman James Pappas stress the need for the evaluation to be done in the near future because the Department is now in the “peculiar situation” of having only three full-time faculty members. The Department must prepare itself for an evaluation by gathering documents, making interviews, etc. before any questions are answered about its future. Levy noted. Although he has been Dean for only a year. Levy admits “There are many people mad at me,” and the Black Studies Department is not an exception. Levy points out that some of the program’s “unhappiness” towards him erupted from a disagreement over the Department’s proposed name change to African and AfroAmerican Studies. “1 take department names very seriously,” explained Levy. 1 -“The department name conveys what it (the department) represents in educational aims. It would be a tragedy if someone came here only to find that the department is not what they thought it would be.” Levy also noted that there was no one in the Department that had the “needed expertise” to handle teaching African courses. “Jim Pappas is a creative artist [faculty member], Ed Smith is a dramatist, and Keith Henry is a special scientist trained in the area of Carribean studies, not African,” noted Levy. “The present faculty cannot deliver the educational experiences that the name [African and Afro American Studies] implies.” ] Another issue causing friction between Levy and the Pappas-led department is over whether to grant tenure to Henry. Despite the Department’s recommendations. Levy and the Social Sciences’ personnel committee rejected Henry’s bid for the promotion. "Based on academic merit, 1 could not give my support to Henry,” explained Levy. “But additional information has become available and Henry’s case is being reviewed again,” he added. Levy is not sure whether this new information Will change the committee’s decision. Neither the Department nor Levy have agreed on the necessity of obtaining an African historian for the Black Studies program. “When 1 became Dean there were 18 searches from all departments going on and 1 could only hire five,” recalled Levy. “Almost all were refused and Black Studies was one of those turned down.” Levy was quick to point out that an African historian has “educational merit” and “that it would be nice to have one,” but he is “reluctant to put new lines into a department without a clear mission.” Although Pappas is “suspicious" that the Administration has a “negative feeling" towards Black Studies, Levy has found no such attitude. “Black Studies has a legitimate place at this University,” Levy said. “(Vice President for Academic Affairs Ronald F.) Bunn conveys no negativism towards the Department and is sensitive to its needs.” However, Levy revealed, some faculty members have asked him “to get rid of Black Studies.” He explained, “These professor? doubted the academic integrity of the program. They questioned the substance of the whether the people were appropriately trained and if the students really learn anything.” Levy noted that a “thorough understanding of its constituency” coupled with unrestrained commuhications between the Department, the Dean and Bunn are the key to the survival of the program. 1 �UB loan fund sli ced, students search for money four years of service in an area or location in need of physicians, including prisons, reservations and poverty riddled areas such as New York City’s South Bronx. Williams said he favors the students borrowing money rather than their giving time to the government. Hie students are, Bouman said, naturally upset with the loan cutbacks and the implication of having to give four ycars-of their life to servicing such areas. Williams quoted some studetits as calling obligatory the work “indentured servitude.” Bouman maintainecT that the funding decrease has already had a “pretty substantial effect” and termed it by Seth GoodcMId Spectrum Stuff Writer The federal governmentV decision to reduce US’s total allocation for Medical Health Profession student loans has left many wondering how they will cover their tuition costs. Last year’s University total—which was unavailable at press time—will be cut in'half this year, according to UB Assistant Director of Financial Aid David Bouman. He explained that'the loan total—which is given directly to the school, which then distributes it —falls in accordance with a nationwide SO percent reduction. UB’s funding cut confronts an approximate 20 percent hike in need for assistance head on, according to Assistant Medical Dean for Financial Aid Rudy Williams. He said that President Carter’s proposed budget does not include money for the loan, while Congress’ does. Which one will be accepted? Williams is unsure. In addition to cutting back funds, the government has made requirements much more stringent, thus restricting a lot of middle income people from obtaining aid. If parents can contribute more than one-half the tuition—or‘ $5,000, whichever is less —the student is not eligible for the loan. The College Scholarship Service determines whether parents can afford the tuition through a “need! -analysis” formula. Bouman reported that even if the student is “32, married, with kids, his mommy’s and daddy’s incomes are counted.” Bouman explained that the complicated fund distribution system is based on the budget (student costs), the amount of “serious.” Students can turn to New York State for their loans, with a maximum of $5,000 a year. contribution' and the student’s TAP award, if any. The budget figure varies with year, rank and particular course study, be it medical or dental. At the Dental School, for parent example, first year students are required to purchase equipment totalling about $5000. Both Williams and Bouman believe that the government is phasing out its support of the loan. “They want students to service-oriented Williams maintained, “where the student works for the government.” enter programs,” Bouman explained that there is a Public Health Service that Corporation the government operates for students unable to afford the high costs of Medical School.

The Transportation Bond Act, or '‘Proposition One,” would pump State, Federal, and private funds into improving mass transit, rail freight lines, and local roads. It is all part of a major drive toward energy conservation and reduced petroleum consumption. Skyrocketing oil prices have burdened New York’s automobile drivers, causing them to rely on mass transit to satisfy their transportation neeeds. Department of Transportation (DOT) Executive Commissioner John Downing sees rising oil prices- leading to an “overnight demand” for mass transit, which existing Amtrak and Conrail lines could not absorb. The Transportation Act would sustain the ongoing transit improvements provided by the 1974 Bond Act. The Empire Corridor is the crown jewel of the program stretching from New York City to Albany, Utica, Syracuse, Rochester, Buffalo, and Niagara Falls. Jack Bryan of the DOT estimates that a high-speed run from New York to Buffalo would take less than six hours. Bryan'told The Spectrum that these “turbo trains” will travel at a blurring 110 m.p.h. This impressive speed, he said, should attract more automobile drivers who are tired of paying high gasoline prices. Bryan said that 70 million gallons of fuel will be saved if the act is passed. Critics of the taxpayer-subsidized Amtrak line point out that previous low ridership make such large projects economically unfeasible. But Bryan discounted past ventures, noting, “The pressure of ridership is already exceeding our ability to deliver people,” he said, explaining that the act would existing systems, expand accommodating the growing demand (especially in New York City) for mass transit. Bryan cited other project benefits, including less air pollution and traffic fatalities, and more jobs. Over $430 million is targeted for improving rail freight lines, which carry half of New York’s goods, such as food products. DOT hopes retail prices will stabilize due to extra handling capacity and increased deliveries. * yf EMPIRE CORRIDOR I I 1 H-ll ..... ■ ( Fragmented tracks are a major hindrance to high-speed commuter and freight lines. Jim Weld of the Western New York DOT tole The Spectrum that decaying “jointed rail” is torn out and replaced by stronger and safer “welded rail,” composed of quarter-mile steel strips. Train engineers also maintain high speeds by improved cab signals, which allow them to quickly gauge tract conditions. The Program’s success relies on renovating New York City subways and the Long Island Railroad- tracks. The New York City metropolitan area contains ovtr half the State’s population—currently pressuring local authorities to improve mass transit. DCT expects the increased metropolitan ridership to benefit Western New York by providing more statewide gasoline supplies. Increased freight capacity could also give a shot in the arm to Buffalo by allowing more goods to be exchanged through rail instead of fuel-consuming trucks. Bryan and Weld expect voters to approve the act which will cost New Yorkers $1.21 per year for 37 years. “There’s very little organized opposition,” said Bryan, noting that ironically the lack of controversy has minimized adequate press coverage. Recently Governor Hugh L. Carey stopped in Buffalo to support the act but was questioned more about home heating supplies for the winter. A group of cbllege students in Albany are campaigning for the act to encourage student support. Kelly Malia, President of “CoHege Students for Proposition One,” wrote The Spectrum “Shouldn’t we students take part in making a decision that will have a long range effect on our lives?” Malia noted that as future taxpayers, students should realize their voting power in determining crucial transportation policies. students from voting in their school ebunty, area students have organized’ atally at the Erie County Board of Elections today at 12:30. The rally, sponsored by the Student Association of the State University (SASU) in cooperation With the New York Public Interest Research Group (NYPIRG), is the last of six such events held over the past ten days at various SUNY schools. According to Jim Stem of SASU the rallies are being conducted in response to a promise from Governor Hugh L. Carey'S Office that if enough support could be shown for the legislation’s passage, it would be made a priority for 1980 and he would note this in his January State of the State address. The position of students’ voting rights stems from a New York State law which defines a residence as .“that place where a person maintains a fixed, permanent and principal home and to which he, wherever temporarily located, always intends to return.” This means essentially that the New York State Board of Elections has the power to disenfranchise students in the county in which they attend school. Up to now tlie Board has been exercising this authority, frequently. Forwarded The law states that even though students may reside at a school address for nine to twelve months, they are subject to local ordinances, pay local taxes, are considered for jury duty in load courts and are judged members of the local population by the U.S. Census Bureau —they can be denied the right to vote in that county. Presently, when a student applies for voter registration in Erie County and puts a home (out-ofBuffalo) address on the application, it is immediately forwarded to that county and the student is treated as an absentee (a process which is both complicated for the student and expensive for the State). If the student decides to claim permanent residence, listing only local address, a representative of the Erie County Board of Elections calls the Admissions and Records Office of the school to obtain a home address. This, according to UB law student Marc Ganz of NYPIRG, is a violation of students’ rights. New York along with North Carolina and Alaska are presently the only states which restrict students from voting in the same county in which they go to school. SASU is now lobbying in Albany for passage of two bills which would change the law so students would be allowed to register in their school’s county. If the law were to be passed early in 1980 it would go into effect ill' time for the presidential elections next November. The rally, today at the Erie County Board of Elections, 134 West Eagle Street in downtown Buffalo, is scheduled to start at 12:30. People wishing to go, but without rides, should meet in Haas Lounge at noon. —David Gaianier WILKESON PUB STIPENDED POSITIONS: Wanted: Students to work in a counseling, educationa, and outreach program to help students with an alcohol abuse problem.

The team must judge not only whatbetter has done, but what he hasn't. He hasn’t supported a continually requested PhD program I (or American Studies,. but with statewide pressure and his 3 | campaign to retain his position looming. Ketter has finally written the necessary Letter o( Intent.' Although American Studies'has been clamoring for a doctoral S program for years, it could not act until Ketter wrote the necessary £ letter—thus making the request an official one to Albany. A PhD program was first requested by American Studies in 1972. In 1973, an internal and external evaluation team recommended the PhD proposal be carried out. In 1975, Ketter re)ected the proposal for what he termed financial reasons. Last year, the proposal wasrevised and sat on Vice President for Academic Affairs Ronald Bunn's desk for six months while American Studies waited for a response. Now Ketter has taken the necessary step—a step we strongly endorse—but one that must be carefully Judged in light of his motives. Previously, the President masked his opposition to the program in money terms. He did not say, "I opposed the program. I don’t support many experimental' or innovative sectors of the University. I would Just as soon see American Studies disintegrate like the now-extinct Social Sciences College. My support for programs like American Studies is reflected in my support for the Colleges—meager at best, crippling at worst, while they still stand tenuously in this University’s future.” These are all reasons Ketter could have given for not supporting the program—and he would not have been lying. When the President rejected the 1975 proposal, he did not carefully evaluate whether it was in the best interests of this University, what educational advantages it offered, to what extent is strengthened American Studies. He said he rejected It because of money—but he did not weigh costs with the benefits. Shortly, Ketter’s evalution team will visit campus and we have no doubts that the President will manipulate the facts and tell the panel that under his leadership American Studies is being strengthened. We just hope,the panel looks deep enough to discern the differences between what Ketter says, what he does, and what he has failed to PhD program for American Studies is just one example, -j,,,, . m \Z- j ' , ' ■ -'•■Vl> AbolishIke Council * . right Basic ■v.fH The student Vpte... if virtually doesn’t exist. Election after,election, we hear of the “Black vote," the "Jewish vote,” the vote,” but never the Student Vote. Students \ffhorare eligible to vote statistically rank lower than most population groups in exercising their right. But part of the reason for is that many voters don’t believe they have an effect oh those who are elected. It is difficult to gauge the effect of an individual's lever-pulling, especially in a society where money frequently talks at the polls—and we know most students don’t have money. The alternative is thpt students unite and vote in a block. But there is a catch: those who have been elected in the past have designed laws that restrict out-of-town students from voting in their college community. It is easy to guess why area legislators may not be concerned with the fate of this school, knowing full well that many students who go to UB don’t vote close to a Buffalo district. The true absurdity is that students who may live in Buffalo for most of the year are subject to local ordinances, pay local taxes, support local business, and are considered members of the local population by the U.S. Census Bureau but still cannot vote in Erie County. The Student Association of the State University is organizing a state-wide campaign to reform the voter registration laws. Today at 12:30 in front of the Erie County Board of Elections Office students will be gathering to urge Governor Hugh Carey to make this legislation a priority. Hopefully, a large turnout and consistent popular pressure will favorably influence the Governor. However, it may take a long well-planned effort because students don’t carry a lot of weight—mostly because the student vote virtually doesn’t exist. .

Los ~ I r, To iff Editor: Last Friday UB Council member, Bob Koren inquired as to the role of the CouncH of this University. If last week's meeting is any example, let me propse that the Council be abolished. The body which according to Section 356 of the State University Education Law shouldreview all major plans of the head.of the University and make recommendations, make regulations governing the care of the University, review the proposed budget requests which is prepared by the President and make regulations governing the conduct and behavior of students, could play an important part in the functioning of this University- However, at-their last meeting the Council responded listlessly to their task of questioning Dr. Ketter on his Presidential Statement of Stewardship. As students we hoped that this group of ten well-educated Individuals would ask more than powder-puff questions. Not only did their questions lack depth but they showed no conception of what a SUNY Center is, a broadbased University in both goal and direction. Yes, the Council members asked the President about the enrollment report and how this University actually plans to retain students and attract additional students in the age of an everdecreasing applicant pool. The Council did question the President about his leadership but why did no one ask the President why he has kept Robert Fitzpatrick as an acting Vice President for Research tor five years or why the President allowed his two academic Vice Presidents to make the position of Undergraduate Dean a political football. The Council did question the President on ' teaching but why wasn't the President asked to explain why there has not been a comprehensive program developed to evaluate teaching and why this University has tagged far behind Inhelping to develop and provide funding for a center for teacher development. The list of questions that the Council failed to ask are endless. The purposed of this meeting was to review the President’s Statement and in actuality the University. They have failed on both counts and the past actions of the Council Indicate more of the same. At the Council’s next meeting, while the evaluation of the President is being discussed openly and intensely on campus, the Council will lay the cornerstone for the new music and chamber hall, enjoy some food and drink and spend about one hour addressing University matters. The mdst obvious question then to be asked is what criteria is Chairman Millonzi going to use to write his response to the Presidential Statement? The Council has provided no direction. . ;Mr. Millonzi and the Council should conduct an in-depth study of the condition of the campus. They should speak with faculty, staff, administrators and students to help them develop a clearer perspective of this University—where it is and wherelt Is going. The Council and Its Chairman have an obligation to this campus to accurately assess the term of Dr Ketter. This task should not be taken lightly. The students hope that the Council is more than “yes men” for the President. We care too much about our Institution to let this happen. Joel D. Mayersohn President Student Association Pliaedrus an; srft tl pi'.iw by Robert G. Basil Columnists can divide their writings into three categories; political and social analysis; personal reflective pieces; and criticisms of other writers and journals. Since writing for a college paper closely resembles talking to oneself in an empty feedback is almost nonexistent—it’s hard to figure out what readers ri' like best. I could guess though. Since most columnists usually write within the bounds of the 'first category, socio-political stuff is the favorite. Writing about oneself can be enlightening, but is often trite, sentimental and pretentious (my usual division). The leftover category—writing about other writers—is usually avoided: journalism is sordid enough a business without clawing other journalists. This week, however, "it cannot be • avoided. 'V.k The recent “reporting” in one of this paper’s competitor’s, Ihundercurrent, must be ~ ; ThC SptCTI^UM 'V. - • City m ¥4 vti . Tbo SfiOotrum has Wholeheartedly supported the alternative student newspapers in the past for two reasons: to escape the possible wrath of a Student Senate who tried to dissolve our newspaper last year; and more importantly to hone our writing skills through exciting competition. The Other One, largely run by Tolstoy College and the Alternative News Collective, has formed a definitively irreverent, leftist (often Marxist) and refreshingly controversial approach to news and analysis. And the editors from both their and The Spectrum's publications have worked in fruitful solidarity on certain issues and stories. The Spectrum's generally more conservative and standard approach to reporting has energetically complimented The Other One’s more open format—and the University community has greatly benefitted. But Eric Sven Billings’ front page article in Thundercurrent this week, entitled “Crisis of the Mind" crowns the publications' reputation of editorial schizophrenia and irresponsibility (Billings first entered the fabled wonderland of University notoriety last Spring when he wrote a series of fanatical letters to The Reporter— a“remarkable paper” he says—after ff*® Three Mile Island near-apocalyose last Spring. His blind, technocratic support of the nuclear industry and his pathological panning of conservationists. Citizen’s Organizers and the liberal scientific community in general, aroused much debate.) �n Billings latest sermon from his radioactive mount, he broadens his reactionary-politics to blaspheme most of the UB community. This neoNazi tract, apparently tolerated (if not endorsed) by the Thundercurrent editorial board,informs us that, among other things, “The honosexuat (sic) point of view-can neither produce great works of art nor comprehend a great work of art.” Mr Billings could do well to check out. some Da Vinci, Truman Capote, Allen Ginsburg—Tom Robinson even. And after incomprehensibly dealing with the SALT fl treaty in his all purpose encyclical (remember, this is an article supposedly dealing with “student apathy”) he goes after Citizen's movements and the Natural Energy movement again. He pontificates, "News services 'concerned' organizations" subject the masses to an infantile, amoral world outlook." Better leave our fates up to the experts who know, Oh Mr. Billings? the same social powerhouses who shirk off the problems of longterm nuclear waste in face of the quick buck: The rest of ustdre tbo manipulatible and ignorant to make our own choices. The reader might think that 1 am just choosing the worst ports of a fairly long essay; but promise that I simply closed my eyes and plopped my finger on the paper and chose sentences at random. The entire piece hovers at around the same level of imcomparable, badness. However, this column's purpose fa not to initiate a thoughful debate with the man: this would be impossible, and the academic community would not miss reading his sprawling, misspelled and misused vocabulary. Rather, this column’s intent is to ask how a student funded publication can print such offensive garble, renegging On its committment to air responsible (“excellence is our criterion") views. Thundercurrent has admittedly had to deal with problems beyond its immediate control. It has neither an Editor-In-Chief nor a Managing Editor. And their indefatigible Photo Editor and Production Artist quit this week. And like our paper, it has a shortage of writers. But it makes too much sense to this writer, scarcely attune to Mr. Billng’s cosmic “facts of morality’, that a newspaper with an amorphous editorial policy, and which prints odious copy, would scare away UB’s talented writers. I note: Mr. Basil's opinions do not necessarily reflect the opinion of The Spectrum s editorial board. Editor's �y Beyond ridiculous To the Editor: not meet for the spme number of classroom hours.

Such an instance was your wholly irresponsible October 12 editorial entitled .take you seriously when the time comes to use It - properly. Hypocrisy means the- praterise of values, virtues, feelings which one does not in fact possess. To give priority to one value-over another, to do so publicly, and to give reasons for it wodtd never be called hypocrisy by reasonable people, even if they disagreed with the priorities and the reasons for them. Both in the Springer Report and in the D.U.E. Committee no strong argument qould be found for preferring a threehour module over a four-hour one, or In a few cases a five-hour one, so far as individual courses were concerned. (Similarly, in its deliberations, the D.U.E- Committee, charged .with authorizing departures from the . “Hypocritical,” concerned with my recent, recommendation on Implementation of the Springer Report. One might have dismissed it a§ just another ridiculous reoonetructipn, precipitated by utested rumor or lack of documentation, wore it not for the fact that you had In your hands a copy of my memorandumto President Ketter (Mark Meltzer’s report quoted it verbatim In the same issue). That’s enough to make some of us suspect malicious mischief—the very hypocrisy you appear to be so free in attributing to others. A more charitable interpretation still leaves us with a newspaper whose rush to criticize out-strips its mastgty of the facts. Simply stated, your editorial confused the first phase of the Springer Implementation with the second. The first phase— the one about which everyone was most exercised—had as Its goal contact-credit-hour equivalency. That goal has been achieved. We ate operating under that system now; we shall in all likelihood continue to do so in the future. If there are any departures ■V -iffim "ttAXfll fUTntRrt-rrfiflit UtfUtTOloitvj, uutltovt blCUfl onnit/fllftfinv hfiwn L/UUII llltjy IIotu approved by the DUE Curriculum Committee in accordance with the criteria spelled out in the Springer Report.. The second ..phase'<of implementation, originally scheduled for September 1980, had as its goal the establishment of a standard of three credit hours for three contact hours, all departures from which (e.g., four credits for four contact hours, five credits for five contact hours) would require justification and DUE approval. It is this second phase that I am recommening suspension of. Now that doesn’t seem like a terribly difficult distinction to grasp. Let your readership judge for itself the magnitude of your misconstruction. The following is a quote from my memorandum on the subject to President Ketter, the. document available to you when you wrote your editorial: “What I should like to argue is that we take steps to avoid further erosion of our enrollment count tor next. year. I propose to do this by indefinitely suspending the second phase of the Springer implementation scheduled for September 1980. Let me remind you that the first phase—Me achievement of contact-credit'equivalency—is, but for a, few exceptions, complete. In the vest majority of cases it involved a reduction of course credit from four to three hours, and produced the FTE shortfall referred to above, ht the second phase of the Springer Implementation Committee's deliberations, we have been examining attempts to justify departures front a three-contact-hour-for-credit-hour standard. Our timetable looked to completion of our work this semester, with a recommendation .for implementation in September 1980. o . V. V v 'y.v 1 ■ .

It was argued that a general advantage to be achieved from a three-hour standard was the flexibility it would permit undergraduates in taking a larger number and greater variety of courses. That Is one value, and I Identify myself with It. Another value is the strength, Integrity, and, perhaps in some cases, the very survival of academic progreams, especially those which will be required to play a substantial rote In General Education. In the best ofeH possible worlds, we would not have to choose between these values; we could have them both. As things stand, we cannot. I give priority- to the second because, given the overwhelming number ot three-creditfor-threecontact available as a result o i phase one 3-fon3 is not a virtual stnadard. The remaining still unauthorized departures from that standard are few. You may, in short, disagree.with my set of priorities, or even with my assessment of the present and but future Situation, hypocrisy—that’s a fighting word! The University includes its student newspaper. If the University is in trouble the-Speotrum may just bear some of the responsibility for-that. It's up to you to play your role with at least as much discrimination and honesty as you expect others in this institution to play theirs. Sincerely yours, John J. Peradotto University Dean Division of Undergraduate Education Editor's response: The editorial was definitely flawed in its confusion of phase one and two of Springer Implementation. However, the term hypocritical still Is an accurate one to describe of the second phase. Last year, the Springer report was judged to be necessary on Its educational merit, with budget (enrollment) concerns secondary. (By the way, that Is not to say The Spectrum agreed with that judgement.) Now, budget concerns have taken the front seat and Immediate educational goals have been thrust to the back. The DUE Dean believes—and perhaps legitimately so—that this will prove, necessary given long term educational -■s.v.rjo'tc.rT goals. a u Hevmer* ib*e Change in priorities contradication of the reasons given last year to implement Springer.

I apologize for this rhetorical excess. I meant to call attention to the declining role of the Humanities and Social Sciences at SUNY (Buffalo) over the past decade and to demonstrate that this decline is as much a result of the Ketter administration’s policies as it Is a response to larger social and economic forces. Having watched distinguished faculty in arts and letters leave because of uncongenial conditions over the course of a decade, having observed that the upper administration preferred in some instances to let distinguished faculty go in order to reduce the range of criticism at the University, I felt obliged to come to the defense of my colleagues in the Humanities. I was also moved by the firing of one brilliant junior colleague—now on a one year appointment at a fine Liberal Arts College in Oregon—who, had he been in a technical field, would have been kept, I’m pretty sure. The intent of the essay was not to wage war against fields other than the Liberal Arts. I might argue, on specific evidence, that a course here or there In any field (including Liberal Arts) was too narrowly construed, too directed towards a market, to.fifTn with my idea of a University. oentgry for But we are clearly too far along in the anyone to argue sensibly that Arts and Sciences, Arts and Technologies, Arts and Social Management, do not belong in a common curriculum. 4 i,, I might argue against too great a ccWcjamlatioh-upon professional training at the undergraduatejevel; I might even argue that better graduate ticnoels therfiselves prefer students with demonstrably literate and civilized skills, but I would insist, in fact, that science, at Its be$t, provides dominant images of objectivity and inquiry’ tee age. I would insist .further that any student, especially in the Humanities, avoids the laws of the market,~the nature of management, at his or her peril. As someone who has an active interest in modern and contemporary art, I can think readily of works that show the inter-disciplinary and inter-cognitive nature of the contemporaries arts: the use of'electronics in contemporary music; the visual and Intellectual setting of Robert Wilson’s Einstein On The Beach; the use of contemporary materials (neon) in sculpture. These examples, and their social implications, could be exfoliated endlessly. Beyond theTWorks and objects themselves that offer proof of the marriage of arts and sciences, we've seen over the past decade an explosion of the media and its uses (for better and worse), and we’ve seen the emergence of an arts industry that plays a significant role in the private and pubtic sector. We have Artpark, Media Study, NCA funding for Studio Arena and the Philharmonic, for example, in our own backyard to make the point. It would be both anachronistic and unrealistic to turn away from the shared nature of the disciplines at this or any other institution. Arts and Sciences, Arts and Technologies, Arts and Management live In a common ecology of culture. The task of the faculty and student body at this point is to read carefully President Ketter’s "Statement of Stweardship" and to decide if the common goals of the faculty areprtEftywd; to decide if his concessions to value (“vie of the whole, “to preserve the basic naturb'of the .University") have meaning and context in his report and in the history of his administration. The faculty and students have to decide if the Ketter Administration can manage this University In such a way as: to provide stability within economic constriction, to maintain morale within shrinking resources; to sustain and maintain through General Education and national requirements the "basic nature of the University" in hard times. These questions need to be answered specifically in writing to The Spectrum, to Legislators, and to Chancellor Wharton. These questions need to be answered from all sides and corners of the University where the impact of policies or lack of policy can be detailed. The issues before us should not be divisive, field against field, expert against expert. We need to come together as a common, enlightened, and critical faculty and call into question the past ten years of administration. We must decide if the past ten years of the Ketter Administration is a sustained appointment. We must also insist on the procedures that will make this questioning process possible. • ' for ’’ Howard Wolf Professor of English �i- • Zeta Beta Tau Fraternity a feedback is proud to announce A BIG BEER BLAST happening tomorrow night Saturday, Oct. 20th The Talbert Hall-Bull Pen.

Robert P. Harrison The President’s failihgs To the Editor: Being new at UB, coming from another large university down South, has left me quite bewildered to say the least. I have heard many excuses for the breakdown in the administration here—the most prevelent ones having to do with the number of students here and ttie running of two large campuses. It makes me so so sad for Dr. Ketter, you have no idea. The university I tranSferrfed from had 23,000 students and three branch campuses and yet, these administrative problems were unheard of. If anything, Dr. Ketter’s record as top admnistrator, is disgraceful. His excuses for poor performance, insensitivity, and general footdragging is: The-system is killing me! This smacks of the same excuses that a Chief Executive in Washington has been shoving down the throats of the American people in the hope that they are stupid and will believe him. They and we are not stupid—just too passive and selfseeking. Ketter seems to be incompetent for his position and his admnistratlon and its valueless reports and “studies” flourish like a malignant tumor. One must wonder why the administration keeps itself isolated from the university community. One possible answer is that it does not wish to deal with problems faced by students but only with problems they-themselves create. As long as the create problems they will always have a job, right guys? More questions with obvious answers: Why aren’t there more programs concerned with students’ academic problems? EOF seems to have a "sink or swim” attitude towards its studetns. Once the students are accepted, they are congratulated on this fine accomplishment and then invited to fall flat on their faces for lack of help. No programs have been set up to study and/or retard the attrition rate of students from this University, to my knowledge. Enrollment is dropping at UB and it seems to be a serious problem. Everybody is shaking their heads in wonder. It is no wonder. It Is clear that students are very low prioity at UB. This is no startling revelation. Why is it so difficult to set up mandatory departmental teacher evaluations (filled out by students) which would be used for tenure criterion and hiring-firing decisions? The lack of such an evaluation (which many universities are using with very good results) shows the lack of sincerity of the administration on the issue of quality teaching for students and its general commitment to a quality University. Of course, if there were no Students, there would be no University. Administration and some faculty have lost sight of this fact. So they continue to play their little organizational and power games at the expense of the students and the future of UB, Ketter and Friends are killing UB little by little while the faculty matter about money allocation and tenure and students play/watch football and party. How lucky Ketter and friends are that students don’t care about their education and that faculty are pre-occupied with inter-departmental ars. And the beat goes on ... + - BE THERE!

It �feedback The SCATE revival To the Editor: SCATE, a systematic evaluation of teacher effectiveness, is an enormous project which the Student Association has reorganized after three years. Due to the failure of previous SCATE editions, the University decided not to fund SCATE any longer. A comprehensive analysis of past SCATE editions was conducted to determine the reasons why they had not been affective.-*Under the direction of Judiann Carmack, Director of Academic Affairs, a SCATE committee was formed and provided with the basis for a new approach to SCTE. in the beginning of November, all professors participating in the' program will distribute to their students an evaluation form consisting of 25 questions. These questions will be general assessment of the quality of instruction in the class. Several of these questions have been chosen to publically represent the student's attitudes toward the professor of each particular class. The results of this survey will be compiled to form the fourth edition of SCATE, to be released this December. Included in this booklet will be any appropriate comments offered by the 34 departments involved, and likewise any course objectives that participating professors choose to reveal. This issue will be published in time to aid students in choosing courses for Spring registration. Instead of searching through a bunch of meaningless names, this year, students will have a reference to distinguish between various professors. The committee anticipates that SCATE will be successful in encouraging students to make more responsible and informed choices when designing their schedules. Beyond this most obvious use of SCATE, there lies another intention behind SCATE, in assisting instructors to determine any deficiencies in their style of teaching. Instructors will recieve all results of the evaluation forms sra-soon as they are processed with a detailed computer analysis gf Student responses. The instructor then has the option of seeking suggestions from a panel of professors dedicated to the study of teaching effectiveness. One of the greatest objections to the former * *, „ Stay awake To the Editor: The Buffalo Rights of Consciousness (that's Consciousness) Group is a small jbut feisty) organization dedicated to the right of people everywhere, but especially on this campus, to be conscious. It’s hard to believe, but many students and even faculty are not aware of this basic human right. Yet an unconscious person is unable to exercise any rights at all. Consider, for example, the right to free speech: unconscious people are often able to whimper and moan, or occasionally to babble incoherently, but is this free speaking? I think not. With a little mental exertion we pan see that the right to be conscious is fundamental to the Four Freedoms, the Droits de (’Homme, and all the constitutional guarantees that have ever been offered anywhere. The attack on consciousness may take many different forms. One of thb best known is hitting people over the head with a blackjack. Note that this has always been illegal in the democracies of the West, except when it is justified by the interests of ‘national security’,., ip other words when democracy itself goes down the tubes. But there are other techniques. One instrument of women’s oppression during the Victorian era was to make them faint by using vulgar expressions. Another was to dose them with morphine, ostensibly to relieve menstrual cramps, but actually to make them unconscious, so they wouldn’t complain or try to obtain the vote. These blatant methods are largely a thing of the past. But this does not mean we should relax our vigilance; there are subtle and insidious ways of undermining consciousness against which we should be on perpetual guard. Of these, the most prevalent at this university is boring the victims into a stupor. For instance: deliberate 1. The administration’s encouragement of the School of Management. Management people aren't to blame for being boring: it’s an occupational disease, like black lung for coal miners, and we should be grateful to them for the sacrifice they make (of course we can make a more positive contribution by working for a world without accountant?). But force-feeding the School into an unnatural growth not only brings on a steady increase in per capita boredom on campus; it also seems to management professors- and prompt administrators to work off their own boredom by writing long letters to The Spectrum about how important they are. This leads to a frightening SCATE editions concerns the format of the finished version. The data is presented in a manner which makes analysis and interpretation a major operation. Other issues of SCATE are considered much too long and contain many questions which are vague and irrelevant. The new edition of SCATE, containing only nineof the 25 questions, is a far briefer document. Only the results of questions which are applicable will be published, and in such a way that they are simple and easy to understand. An ethical question which has been raised of past SCATE issues concerns the validity of making the professors’ participation in the survey mandatory, in many instances the reluctance of an instructor appears to stem from a concern that the evaluation results will be used against the individual or department involved, whether or not it is justified. Therefore, this issue of SCATE will contain only those evaluations of professors who volunteer information. The committee hopes that, in a matter of time, SCATE will gain enough confidence from faculty membe(s to receive the attention it deserves. Another concern for the designers of the current SCATE was the use of these printed evaluations by the Faculty and Administration. It has become the policy that SCAtE wilt not be used for tenure or promotional procedures unless the instructor so chooses. The SCATE committee is confident that this year’s innovative approach To SCATE will be successful in carrying out proposed objectives. However, the development of SCATE is a continuous process which is revised and improved each day.

The pseudo-recognition of the Buffalo Rights of Conscience Group (not to be confused with our organization), a club devoted to disseminating the philosophical ideas of Oliver Cromwell,-who, as students of history know, was one of the most dangerously boring people of all time, keeping the entire population of Great Britain and Ireland comatose from 1648 till the Restoration. Again, I’m afraid this i§ going to lead to more stupefying correspondence in The Spectrum. 3. The tropical profusion of purple passages in The Spectrum feature articles: especially livelyarts reviews, cat stories, true romances, Slices of Life from Downtown Buffalo and On the Road, and back-to-the-sixties propaganda from people who were prepubescent at jhe time (but quis editet insos editores ?). Not to mention less discipline publications. 4.The existence of Dr. Ketter—need I say T* more? Not everybody in the Rights of Consciousness Group is bored (as I write, three white geese are grooming themselves on the other side of my office window, and a beautiful woman stops to smile at them), but we are united in the belief that, while anybody has a right to be stultified if he or she so desires, people are being bored against their will at U. B., and this must stop. Our first political action will be Jo refuse to seek recognition from the Graduate Student Association, on the grounds that it is a violation of the rights of consciousness to make a GSA meeting any longer than necessary. We ask the university to support us in this, and in future activities. David Bloom P.S. Seriously, last Friday’s lead article on Ketter’s self-evaluation was the most imaginative thing I have ever seen in The Spectrum, welfresearched and beautifully done, and it deserves applause; I want to mention that it conforms to REG principles by breaking up that indigestible engineer’d prose into chunks that one can read without falling asleep. My only complaint is that you didn’t quote the funniest passage in the document, the one where the President reveals a special and sort of wistful pride in one accomplishment, turning all the Provosts into Deans: which tells you a lot about where his priorities are at. “YIPES!” FROM MIGHTYTACO &W8UF-F _ THIS MONDAY! *r- They’re Back!

Under the new Tennessee formula, two percent of a school’s appropriations would be set aside as an incentive for improving instruction. “The new method is an excellent idea” UB Director of Undergraduate Studies for Higher Education Bruce Francis commented. Basing funding totally on enrollment (as done at UB) is a mistake. Quality and improvement of education should be a part of funding. SUNY Vice Chancellor for Academic Programs Policy and Planning James Perdue told The Spectrum “The SUNY Central Administration is trying system Tennessee’s towards the new Tennessee method, some officials are enrollment. SUNY Chancellor apprehensive. Francis admits Clifton R. Wharton is interested that the system should be tried, in working a new funding plan. but also feels skeptical about The proposed plan is based on instituting it.

Commission on the importance Skeptical Despite positive of the quality of instruction. “1 think any program that offers an incentive of that sort would attitudes be helpful. There is nothing in New York State that does encourage to anything teaching,” .he in innovation said. However, according to UB Associate Vice President Claude Welch, “there is a provision in the union contract of the Ufnted University Professions for discretionary merit increases for faculty performance.” These equal to increases are approximately one percent of the faculty member’s salary, he % noted. Other means Who aqthally receives the merit raises is ultimately determined by UB President Robert L. Ketter. Factors in the reviewing process are based on the faculty member’s academic competence in research and teaching. Another means of raising the quality of instruction is through the use of SUNY grants such as the Faculty Grant for the Improvement of Undergraduate Instruction (FOIUI). This provides funds up to $2,000 to help cover special penses in scholarly and creative activities which lead directly to the improvement of undergraduate education. Two programs already existing within UB concentrate 'on the quality of education and its improvement. One is directed towards teaching assistants at the graduate level, while the .other aims at evaluating faculty members. effectiveness Teaching seminars for TA’s are led by Counseling Psychologist Gerald Thormer through the Division of Student Affairs. At this year’s seminars, Thorner will be discussing how to prepare lectures, group dynamics, and problems in grading. At the next level there is a Teaching Quality Committee. Francis was recently named chairman and will hold his first meeting early in November. Francis is interested in “the importance of teaching to a - general education program, finding ways to bring about cooperation between students and faculty to evaluate teaching, and the role of teaching student’s in improving quality of life.” the Le Antonio’s 110 Merrimac 836-2454 Under New Management BOB DENTICE SPECIALS!

For the audience,this will be the beginning of £ § Da, a play by Hugh Leonard, but for the o persons involved in the synthesis of this r. production, the play within the play, so to speak, the show began long ago. £ Neal Du Brock, executive producer at £ Studio, saw the play two years ago in New York and immediately began thinking about producing it in Buffalo. He was struck by its earthly humor and thought it might just be the thing for Studio Arena But many 'ifs' stood between Da and the Studio Arena stage. In 1978, Da left its Off-Broadway haunts in New York and grabbed theater's golden ring; Broadway It won a Tony and went on to be a top grosser In other words, it was too hot to ever get to Buffalo. Last Spring, the impasse broke. Da, it was informally known, would be available for productions other than the one at Broadway's Morosco Theater. However, most hot new plays cannot be brought off' the shelf like cans of soup (the playwright) and the backers are wary of leasing out rights to anyone with a pocketful! of bucks and a prosceaium stage), the good name of the play is at stake. In theater, like in most arts, the best advertising is word oL mouth. A bad production could adversely affect the outof-town traffic of theater patrons making up a large share of the audience in the life of the New York production. It helps to be friends with the producers, DuBrock noted, when it comes to obtaining permission for the play. a £ unique creation—for one, the set would be different, the cast different. In short, it would be fine-tuned for Studio Arena —it would be their Da. DuBrock asked Warren Enters to helm the production, having collaborated with him on 40 productions already Enters, a lecturer at Buffalo State's Theater Department had moved from Chicago practically because of his previous work with Studio Arena. DuBrock chose the rest of his cast with Enters' approval. In a situation where artistic control is paramount, arrangements have to be made by consensus. It simply doesn't work when a producer chooses a costume designer that the director doesn't get along with Though both Enters and DuBrock feel they have the last word over the production, it is clear that theater doesn't work best by oneupmanship and arbitrariness Rendition of 'Da. set Tine designed set for airy feel Three days of casting from 10 a m. to 6:30 p.m. went into separating the thespian dross from gold. "I look for the essential quality of the part," Enters stated as his criteria for actors. While Studio Arena's pay scale is necessarily more modest than many largc-icale New York production, basically the budget limits him from getting 'box office' names. In the local community, some persons feel the casting process also excludes local actors. "It's always easier to look in (to the theater) and criticize it," Enters feels. "There are good actors in Buffalo, as well as New York," he said. But a major asset New York actors have over their Buffalo counterparts is their ability tp commit themselves totally to the intensive twpweek rehearsal period when most of the production comes together. "Someone will tell me they want to be in a production but usually they can't get away from job for the run of jthe play." As a result, New York actors with flexible working arrangements have a built-in advantage over locals . Nonetheless, Studio Arena usually has at leait one production in which local actors have a better chance of appearing in, such as this year's A Christmas Carol. . Casting call DuBrock and Enters felt that for Studio Arena, the New York set didn't work as well as it might. Hal Tine'was, commissioned to create a new one, one with an airier feel' Meanwhile in Hew York, casting calls were held over the sumpier to find the eight actors and actresses who would come to Buffalo Harnessing talents Contrary to common belief, the productions at Studio Arena are not touring ones prepackaged, full blown affairs needing only to be, rolled onto a stage.

Studio's Budget How do you get an actor to leave the 'rhecca' of acting, even if the salary's Warren Enters, director of 'Da.' Works on a total 'illusion' c***m decent? Enters feels "most actors and their agents know enough about the Studio and its facilities and the quality of the work done here to trust coming here Along with the artistic decisions, the infrastructure of the production props the play. Local publicity began last spring when Da was included in the early mailing made to entice subscribers to the Studio Arena. It seems to have worked —out of the 18,500 seats available during the play's run, 12,500 are going to subscribers DuBrock describes the purpose of Studio Arena, the leader in Western New York regional theater as to “bring to the community a wide range of theater with a wide range of qualities." Other regional theater have felt compelled to intensively mine new plays almost to the exclusion of Broadway hits Though it is the top regional theater in Western New York, Studio Arena does not have a repetory company DuBrock attributes this to the economics of running a theater in an economically depressed area Their budget simply would not let them, DuBrock feels. As an example, DuBrock states that to do even properly would take more than their yearly budget Tonight is the fifteenth showing of Da at Studio—but for those intimately involved, the play's been running quite some while “Camlet “ Show Your SpHt onthebeach uiifL A WliH *** $eagrams f Crown $249 * Ul IIHf I Check oc money order only.

The Western grew up —the cavalry turned into tanks, the Injuns wore monocles and goose-stepped, and the sheriff became a 19-year-old corporal who climbed aboard burning tanks and zapped the Krauts into hell and eternity. William Bendix crouched in countless foxholes and wondered who was "pitching for da Dodgers tanight?" He died a thousand time? over and never shed a drop of blood Nobody ever got his legs shot off, or his balls; or killed an innocent child or went f rserk and blew away his lieutenant. Americans never got so confused and scared that they .started shooting at each other. The most visible effects of the terror and agony that theline soldier suffered was a three-day beard stubble and a tendency to stumble as he walked, exhausted, towards the back lines after a battle well fought. But when he passed the green reinforcements heading to the front, he never forgot to straighten up and walk tall; to let the rookies know what a real soldier was. Nobody smoked dope at Bastogne, or opium at Guadalcanal. The Pacific jungles looked like the Everglades and Admiral Halsey looked like Jimmy Cagney. Nobody prayed to get shot so he could go home, and every platoon contained a perfect ethnic mix. The germans were blond, nearsighted geeks with thick lips and funny helmets who sat in machine gun nests and got wiped out by hand grenades. The Japs were always evil, skinny Tojo's who charged screaming out of their cave branishing swords and died hard. Our hero-soldiers looked like Cary Cooper, who used a turkey call to Germans out of hiding, or like flVish Audie Murphy, the prototypical American farmboy, applecheeked and >hy; a born killer. Hollywood during the American involvement was John Wayne’s The Creen Berets, and as Michael Herr said, "that wasn't Vietnam, that was Santa Monica Perhaps it was a vain attempt to turn Danang into Normandy through the miracle of silver screen But movies don't make wars, wars make movies Vietnam wasn't Kate Smith and "God Bless America," Betty Crable, FDR and chocolate bars.

It's really a very nice movie. Really. Jon Voigt gives a beautiful performance as the disabled sergeant Politically, its sentiments are great (if you're a liberal) and the movie is very hmm, nice, but Coming Home chickens out in not daring to go as far as Born on the Fourth of luly. Voigt is a most well-adjusted paraplegic He doesnT get hostile, he gets witty He can still fuck Ron Kovic can't. Ron Kovic "gave his balls for democracy" and doesn't think it was worth it. Jon Voigt makes it with Jane Fonda as the music plays in the background Jane's husband conveniently, and dramatically, walks into the ocean at the end of the movie. Only in Voigt's movie At the end of Deer Hunter, the surviving friends gather after the funtral of one who didn't come back They are all wounded, physically or emotionally They face an uncertain future; they're confused and vulnerable Some people thought to end the movie with these people singing "Cod Bless America" was ironic and sarcastic I don't think it was at all. Cimino was saying that it is still possible to find comfort and faith in America; that you can still love her right or wrong and not be a baby killer or Spiro Agnew. That's a positive attitude and a profound statement on the dilemma that confronted all Americans after Vietnam Deer Hunter delivers its message, but is flawed in its presentation The movie lumbers and is marred by technical mistakes and a pretentious sense of selfimportance The whole movie takes too long to get off the ground and too long to end The chronological sequence is confused, and using the Russian roulette metaphor was a mistake in that it opened the movie up to too much trivial criticism Where the Deer Hunter fails, Apocalypse Now succeeds magnificently. Francis Ford Coppola's epic is an overwhelming visual experience' and for its first two-thirds, a graphic exploration of men and war. Much has been made of the fact that Apocalypse Now was derived from Joseph Conrad's exploration of evil. Heart of Darkness. But Apocalypse is only following Heart of Darkness when it fails at the end of the movie. The success it has in depicting Vietnam it owes to Dispatches whose author Michael Herr wrote the narration. Martin Sheen's Captain Willard'$.iiTp upriver is a visual rendering of episodes of "Dispatches"*—Vietnam as a stoned rock 'n roll war—confusion, ecstasy and exhilaration —Jimi Hendrix on a cassette deck as a bridge blows up around the group of black soldiers who sit listening, numb and oblivious —a mad Air Cavalry colonel named Kilgore who "loves the smell of napalm in the morning" and flies into battle blasting Wagner out of the loudspeakers of his helicopters The movie opens with a jungle bursting into flame as the Doors' "The End" plays and continues, brilliant and episodic, Willard travels upriver into Cambodia to find and kill a deranged Special Forces colonel named Kurtz Until he meets Kurtz, Apocalypse is pure "Dispatches," a crazed, Stoned Immaculate roller coaster ride To watch it is to be both enthralled and repelled —to be overwhelmed Right? No wonder we went to Vietnam. No wonder we were already drowning in its shit before we realized the shit wasn't glory. After all, war was fun; it was American, right? No race of slope-eyed little gooks could be a match for the American fighting man, right? General Ciap couldn't kick John Wayne in the balls and get away with it. Vietnam movie would never be a Right? World War II afforded Hollywood a golden opportunity to glorify war and make big bucks It was a "right" war; we won big and came out smelling like a - rose. No such luck after Vietnam. For one thing, the reality of war was no longer hidden from the folks back home. They'd watched it for years on the 7 o'clock news. And Vietnam shook our faith in the American military. It was shocking t«|, _ imagine blue-eyed American boys telling their officers to go die; that Hendrix and ’ heroin meant speech to a high school class and the suicide of a young disturbed veteran does the movie reach beyond California moneymaker. more to them than the greater glory and peace with honor; that the Pentagon brass was so interested in kill ratios and body counts that they got lost in the whole charade and began to think that that was what war was for Changes Maybe it was. I don't know what really went on in Vietnam. Maybe nobody knows; maybe only those who were there do. But for all the shouting that went on about it on both sides of the political fence, deep down Vietnam produced a shocked silence in us as we grappled with our fear and guilt and sudden vulnerability Vietnam caused a profound change in America's self image; in its attitude toward the world and toward war. It was a complex political and emotional situation It scared the shit out of usall. How was Hollywood to deal with this? How to depict a war where the enemy was invisible and in the words of the Doors, "all the children were insane?" Like any war, this one had heroes, but the heroes didn't make the front pages in this one. How do you glorify MyLai?. The only Vietnam movie, to come out of The silence was broken first by the writers. It seemed that Vietnam wasn't conducive to generalization or history writing, the best Vietnam books are all personal accounts of those who were there. They include Ron Kovic's Born on the Fourth of fuly, A Rumour of War by PhilipCaputo, Dog Soldiers by Robert Stone, and Michael Gerr's brilliant Dispatches It was these books that provided filmmakers with the direction and insight to make movies about the war Born on the Fourth of luly and A Rumour of War are both autobiographical accounts of Vietnam veterans. Both Kovic and Caputo were gung-ho volunteers who went to Vietnam early in the war, but their experiences were vastly different. Caputo made it through his tour whole both in body and soul. He is now a journalist, and his is a cool and detached account of the first years of the war. Caputo, as a lieutenant, was involved in an atrocity, but he was absolved by the application of some convenient headturning Even that didn't change his basically positive feelings on the war.

If Deer Hunter is racist, it is because it is about racists. If small town Americans with traditional values are racists, then so is the Deer Hunter And if the VCjiever forced an American ROW to play Russian roulette, well, so what? Ever hear of a metaphor? The Deer Hunter is about Americans and their values It's about friendship and the duties and obligations that go along with it. It's about the confusion that results when these values and bonds are put to the test by something foreign and The protagonists pi Deer core. The movie has no heart or cohesive philosophy. Coppola got lost in this movie and never really figured how to get out. The only pattern I find in looking at Vietnam movies (and books) is that there is no pattern Vietnam was too complex an experience for us all, and our artists had to personalize and digest it before they could comment on it Someone suggested that a movie should be made showing the blindness of the American government and military command in Vietnam Recently I saw part of a TV movie about American POW's in Vietnam The possibilities for futuremovies are as endless as the number of people who went to Vietnam and lived through the Vietnam eta Someday somebody will make a movie about the anti-war movement: about MyLai; about the fall of South Vietnam, about Kent State; about Cambodia While the commercial success of Vietnam movies has been mixed, it has provided American filmmakers with an' . avenue to explore deeply the American psyche and to touch nerves, because Vietnam laid America open and vulnerable to such exploration.

Cocola It's November 5, 1979 and Jack the Ripper is alive and well, murdering San Francisco prostitutes. The police are trying to capture him, and so is H.C. Wells, the greatest science fiction writer the world has known. It seems that back in 1879, Wells created a time machine that could transcend preconceptions of both the past and future, placing ah individual at any chosen point of time. Jack the Ripper hijacks the machine from Wells, and when the machine returns, Wells follows the cutthroat to contemporary San Francisco. It sounds interesting, but Time After Time unwinds to be cute but corny. Granted, the intentions behind the movie aren't of apocalyptic magnitude, but the audience must honor too many implausibilities in order to accept Time After Time. For example, Wells is the world's greatest science fiction writer, not its greatest detective. Malcolm McDowell plays him as a naive clown so that one automatically feels Wells is too incompetent to catch Jack. Conversely, Jack the Ripper (David Warner), adjusts all too easily to San Francisco. With a seemingly unlimited supply of money (where it came from, the aud’f&Tfce doesn't know), he After Time' floats through the city smoother than some of its regular habitues. There's also a scene where Jack the Ripper is struck down by an automobile. He is brought to a hospital and pronounced dead. However, miraculously and unexplainably, he reappears to resume his evil ways. It doesn't take a sci-fi imagination to participate in this film —just an extremely credulous one. * Corroded by television The movie has a few bright moments that somewhat compensate for its overall ridiculousness Mary Steenburgen plays Amy, Wells' 1979 lover, and her presence adds charm to the film. However, many of the conversations between H.C. and Amy dwell on the same idea: proper Victorian male vs. liberated. Cosmopolitanreading hip female Amy's character isn't well developed, and she utters all the cliches expected of her, like "1 am a career woman," and "I can't let a marriage ruin my career." Another major disappointment is the movie's shoddy special effects. Watching H.G Wells travel through time is.a potentially interesting scene, but it turns into a closeup of Malcolm McDowell doing a poor imitation of a man on a bad acid trip. He should save that for soap operas. A major part of the plot i$ the Victorian duo's reactions towards contemporary San Francisco.

The spiritual verities of Humanity prdbed by the likes of Coltrane, Sun Ra, and Cecil Taylor became all the more substantial with Teitlebaum and others who utilized Robert Moog's keyboard system to "make music controlled in realtime by the performers' brainwaves."

It survives, years past "Saturday Night Fever," despite the efforts of the vocal "Disco Sucks" movement. It is also still in apparently good health, as evidenced by Buffalo's recent "World's Largest" —though we may not be as timely as New York, we wouldn't have wasted all that effort on a passe event. Since disco isn't a fleeting thing, what is the psychology behind the phenomenon? I got 100 percent consensus on the number one reason why people frequent discos when I probed the motivations of several disco goers recently. They go, they say, to dance It's fun, and excellent exercise. Perhaps people dance more at discos than at rock and roll clubs because disco dancing is more stylized. Certain things look right, and others don't, so some people can shine. One can certainly dance to New Wave, but the artistry is rarely there. Dancing seems to be the most • ••••• Common explanation "Boogie Ooogie Oogie" never pretended to solve the world's problerins, it made people forget them for a moment On. the other hand, Gloria Gaynpr's "I Will Survive" served as an anthemn for many people, proving there's another side to consider Sexist world Disco music can be redundant, though. A habitual discoer commented, "I imagine disco music would be very boring for someone who doesn't dance. To just sit there and listen to it, the songs probably do all sound alike." Mechanized disco tunes are more guilty of this than are funk/soul selections, for mechanized disco bears strong resemblances to muzak not only in the way it sounds but the PRESENTS / Slinky figure • •••• * Chick Corea (9b Gary Burton Saturday, Oct. 20th at 8:00 pm in the New Gym Tickets: $6.00 students $7.00 General Adm.

It's unfortunate that Songs like "Disco Theme from I Love Lucy" are what many people think of when the word disco is mentioned, for there's much more life to the music that that. The second reason most common for attending discos was "to meet people," For some this means picking people up, for others it means finding someone to dance with, or to talk to All kinds of people flock to discos—from old men to rather bizarre folks who are into the theatricallity of the moment (Yes, there are poeple in this city who dance in costume with fans and props and don't just hustle.— but they're rare.) Although the meat-market, pickup syndrome is not unique to the disco scene, it may be more obvious there because what is perhaps the most universal attribute of the discoer is that he/she does his/her best to look good — BUFFALO STATE S.U.B. Concert Committee * way it is recorded (overdubbing for attending a disco, since that's what disco music is made for—and it suits that purpose very well. Disco music makes no claims to being profound, and that's why many disco-haters have no basis for their barbs. J # • SAff 1 'ICIlfff lilt UB psychologist Brenda Major spoke of the social comparison inherent in it "the disco effect." "When someone who is usually fairly confident about their physical attractiveness enters a disco and sees hordes of people with slinky figures and perfectly styled hair, they may tend to lose that confidence rapidly." Various discounting strategies can be used to combat this efiect ("She propbably only looks that good one night a week."), This particularly strategy is more likely to be found in women, *4jnce men lead on the dance floor and can prove their worth there. An unatractive man who is an excellent dancer does not suffer for partners, but unattractive women may not be so lucky —yes, disco is a sexist really have any doubt as to why Musiqwue sang push, push, in the bush"?). Disco drummer Jim Fatig thinks that "people do feel " world. Andy Warhol once said that "disco is theater," and to this end disco owners often tkae measures to ensure that their clientele will be compatible with the production. Mulligan's, for example, has restricted entrance to their nightclub to those who can afford a VIP club membership. Spread over several visits, the fee is minimal, but it effectively discourages jusl anyone from walking in, and guarantees a fairly regular crowd. Pulsing drums Sex is certainly an important element is disco. Song lyrics often don't even attempt to veil their menaings (Did you ever something sexual in the drumbeat—the pulsing bass drum —though I've played it so often that it does nothing for me." People respond to this music accordingly. < Does the emphasis on appearance, style, sexuality, and beat rather than lyric content of music mean that disco is a superficial, impression, heartless genre? As a way of life, disco might, indeed, be lacking But disco should rightly be an outlet, a chance to dance and party. If one just enjoys without worrying about why, disco can be an excellent time —and that's why it is still around. �I But attendance low i R€FIL €/TOTC orreRpfti/E Music center concert one of the finest given <0 Close To The Amherst Campus W1LLIAMSVILLE 5 minutes from Amherst Campus all brick Cape with 3 bedrooms, 2 full baths, wood burning fireplace mint condition High a 40’s - by Steven N.

Applause seems to travel about three rows forward before dropping to the floor, in contrast to other halls in which it reverberates. However, in the case of Carter’s music (frequently very dense) the dryness served to help separate discrete sounds that might otherwise be blurred.

The* cShcert was unusual in that pieces were not arranged in chronological order. The concert began with a recent piece: the stark but gripping Duo for Violin and Piano (1974), featuring the composure and strength of Ursula Oppens’ pianistics coupled with Paul Zukofsky’s intense concentration on the violin. Carter’s' building and releasing of tension in this piece is the work of a master. The first half of the concert also included the Piano Sonata (1945-46) played with elegant control by Paul Jacobs, and the.Cello Sonata (1948) played by Fred Sherry with Oppens again on piano. Sherry, whose cello was dripping with sweat by the end of the piece, negotiated the difficult passages with such confidence that he earned one of the evening’s great ovations. Profound irony SOFT CONTACT LENSES _ it was the Double Concerto (1961) for Piano, Harpsichord, and two chamber orchestras that served as the tr-ue centerpiece of the evening. To conduct this piece, let alone to perform it, must be seen as a form of masochism when its difficulties are considered. However, Carter never indulges in density and complexity for their own sake, fcnd a well conducted performance of this piece is an extraordinary experience such was the job done by Jan Williams. The pacing and balance were right on the mark, and the profound irony of the piece allowed to shine through. At the concert’s end, the audience gave Carter and the performers a sustained standing ovation. This was no occasion on which to be blase. It was an ovation which was richly deserved.

With a $7500 initial grant, the program will try to cure high risk victims before “they progress to more serious stages where the cure rate is very low,” said Counseling Psychologist Gerald Thorner. The $7500 was appropriated by a University committee designed to improve student life in an effort to limit UB’s attrition problem. Originally, this committee was appropriated a total of $25,000 University in danger.’’ Warning > The need for an alcohol program was established by a study which Thorner conducted last year. The study, surveyed 1000 UB students, heavily concentrating on freshmen. , indicated that 45 percent of the students said they “drink to get drunk.” This type to distribute—$7500 of which of drinking, according to Thorner, “is irresponsible and went to the alcohol program, and about $10,000 of which was one of the early warning signs of future alcoholism.” He noted that since his study was weighted towards freshmen —approximately 56 percent of the respondents were Results students—and first-year the amount of drinking has been shown to increase with age, then the findings seem “extremely forboding.” Anti-social behavior also has a high correlation with over use of alcohol. Thorner said that after any large party where alcohol is served, there is always an increase in vandalism, especially in the EMjcott Complex. “This is because a drunk person’s anti-social behavior will be tolerated,” he commented. “However; if the same behavior was done by a sober person, it would! be .considered unacceptable.^’ The alcohol program is designed to reduce the use of alcohol in hopes of limiting property destruction. Thorner stressed, “We ate not prohibitionists: we just want students to drink responsibly.” The Student Development Program office is now accepting applications for peer advisors. Anyone interested should call 636-2807. Peers will be taught about the physiological, biological and psychological effects of alcohol. “They will be trained to know what really happens to you when you drink and how to reach out to others chemical, with drinking problems,” Thorner said. —Michael A.

Ohio State University recently began a research project on the subject, eyeing the possibility of reducing “interpersonal conflicts and possibly even vandalism.” Researchers will monitor building damage,' roommate conflicts and grade point averages of those being studied. Boyce explained that a more extensive roommate selection process would be advantageous to this University, but is unfeasible at this point. Currently, students may choose their roommates based on whether they smoke and the particular dorm desired. The computer presently in use was designed five years ago, and lacks the flexibility for involved fact, a new programming, policy, allowing students to choose non-smoking roommates implemented last year, had to be done without the use of computers. These requests were handled directly by the Housing staff. Michael Pierce, Student Representative to the College Council—the body ultimately responsible for determining Housing regulations—indicated that the present system can be improved. He suggested giving each Resident Advisor (RA) more authority to investigate those who are not happy with their roommates, and then to make the necessary changes. He concluded that this may decrease some of the bureaucracy he believes is present. Dorm residents on the Main Street Campus enjoy a wealth of activities sponsored by their own dorm funds, according to Housing officials. The funds—in their second year in Clement and Goodyear Halls and debuting in the small dorms (MacDonald Pritchard and Schoellkopf Halls( —were born from a need seen by many residents and Housing officials to supplement Inter-Residence Council (IRC) activities. Clement Head Resident Laura Meyers explained, “IRC isn’t bad, but it performs a different function than we do. Specifically, IRC strives to create a Main Street area identity with its social activities, while the dorm funds strive to create individual dorm unity and identity.” IRC President Tom Knight noted that in the past, IRC-sponsored activities on Main Street have not been as extensive as he would have liked, and his organization is trying to overcome that image. While the residents on Main Street benefit from certain living advantages over their Amherst Campus based counterparts, Clement Head Resident Joyce Barrett said Main Street dorm living can also have its disadvantages. She explained that it was generally assumed that being closer to downtown Buffalo bars, off-campus students, and the hub-bub of Squire Hall would provide relief to students’ scholarly pursuits.

Pierce maintained that before 1969 the University had policies similar to those of a high school, known as “loco parentis.” In effect. Pierce claimed, the school was very similar to the role of parents in the control it exerted. — PUERTO RICO system to provide student activities in addition to housing the IRC main office. The individual dorm funds could serve to rejuvenate activities on Main Street, according to small dorm Head Resident Bob Dunne. Meyers emphasized that many activities have already met with success. She pointed to well-attended bagel brunches that have earned Main Street the reputation of having “the freshest bagles on campus.” Coffeehouses, featuring local talent, have also witnessed similar success along with happy hours. Sports days and an arm-wrestling tournament were enjoyed by the athletically-minded, while the backgammon and scrabble tournaments, currently in progress, are being pursued with the same intensity. Some of the events sponsored last year include a semi-formal dance (co-sponsored with IRC), rock and roll entertainment as part of a WPHD road show and a magic act. Among the events planned for this year include a Halloween party, an international dinner, and a major mural painting event in the dorms.

Plans are now in the works for a designated section of the lake closest to the Wilkeson Quadrangle in the Ellicott Complex, to become operable in January as a skating area. As early as 1972 a committee was formed to study way to make the Lake more useful. The original proposal for ice skating was not decided upon by the Division of Student Affairs until September of 1978. In the past, no recreational activity has been allowed on the Lake because of safety reasons. The Director of Recreational Programs and the head of the project Charles Miller, has been working along with University maintenance, the Department of Public Safety and UB Environmental Health and Safety to ensure proper safety conditions for the Lake. Skating, will be supervised by personnel trained in the sport and the administration of first aid. “Good skating conditions will not be measured by temperature” Miller said, “but by the thickness of the ice.” A minimum of six inches of solidice must be formed before skating is allowed.

The government then required American Breweries to reserve 15 percent of their production for servicemen who needed quick and convenient access to beverages. Private food chains continued this practice in the commercial sphere to reduce handling charges and increase available space. These supermarkets began offering beverages under their own private labels forcing national brand names to also accept “one way distribution” for fear of losing customers who preferred the convenience of throw away containers. One-way This new system grew rapidly into a one-way market, allowing big corporations to invest more capital in efficiently producing light compact cans. Beverage sales escalated 800 percent between 1950 and 1970, increasing profits under the new mode of production. Ironically, large corporations reap the most profits from the idea originated by the smaller food chains. Environmentalists predict that these smaller businesses can increase their share of the market if the bottle bill is passed since nearby local bottlers can recycle the containers. The corporations firmly believe that the public cares more for The convenience of throw aways than the reduction of litter, according to a survey companies would need to buy more trucks, cases new vending machines, and more warehouse space, as well as hiring more workers—for a projected total cost of $132 million annually. Beneficial Many view the additional jobs as being beneficial to the public. The Senate report recommended enforcing a bottle bill in a gradual manner, allowing industry to absorb new expenses. This delay will allow further use of existing equipment, as well as giving laborers time to learn new recycling skills. The metal industry is also hard hit by this changeover, since SO percent of its containers are for beverages. But environmentalists see long run consumer savings, citing the increased 10 percent annual cost of steel and aluminum. There could be reduced dependence on foreign materials, such as the heavily imported aluminum, reversing the trend of rapidly dwindling resources. ri5J W .*.•. Solid waste, the end product of rewbliccs, is another environmental discontent. Most sojid waste is dumped in landfills, using valuable space and costing SS00 million yearly in management and cqllection.

Lisa Bugno finally put one in the net for Oswego, narrowing UB’s lead to 2-1. The Royals had two consecutive corners late in the game—a good opportunity for Buffalo to widen the margin—but failed to tally on either one. The Royals were able to hold the Lakers scoreless, ending their last game with a 2-1 victory. The Royals hope to advance to the New York State Championships and become state champs; only eight teams go into the tournament and UB is & goal advantage. The Lakers fought back in the second half, and drew within one, taking advantage of UB’s lackadaisical play.

Buffalo, who surpassed their opponents exhaustively with wielding ppwer in their serves, boosted then- season record to 7-4. v Oswego’s greatest' difficulty in the match was attempting to keep their feet behind the fault line. Oswego double faulta,allowed Buffalo a large portion of their points. Dee Dee Fisher, the Royals’ captain who was victorious over Oswego’s Lesley Allen, 64). 6-1, witnessed the greatest portion of Oswego faults in the match. "It would have been a close match if she (Allen)hadn’t double-faulted so much,’’ Fisher admitted. The- Great Laker’s faulting was not the only means to Fishers’ win. Giving up only four points in the entire first set, the third year star slammed .consecutive serves into Oswego’s territory resulting in few successful returns. UB star "My backhand was working really well,” explained Fisher. Swift hitting and her general professional appearance helped Fisher stop any possible threat Oswego might have posed. Buffalo’s young, star, Debbie XHCarlo, continued in her winning ways also, shutting out Oswego’s Sue Moore. 6-0, 6-0. DiCarlo’s domineering serve left her opponent busy in the backcouit trying to fight back at the lightening-Iike shots. In the majority ofher matches this season, DiCarlo has not allowed her opponents to pass even the half-way mark of winning, consistently producing 6-0, 6-1 and 6-2 final tallies throughout the year. UB however, also had their share of double-fault difficulty. Heidi Juhl was victorious over Oswego’s Sue Banas, 6-4, 6-2, although she had her qualms after the match. “The main thing is that I won, but I double-faulted too many times,” explained Juhl. Her concentration on plotting serves while crossing the fault line resulted in several Oswego points, but her precision and execution close to the net allowed her scores to bounce back. The Royals’ Kitty Higgens lost a nerve-racking match to Kathy Dentinger, the Oswego power-hitter, 6-2, 6-4, after all the remaining courts had been cleared. The Buffalo determinationthat was evident all afternoon was weakened as Dentinger feund the strength to override Higgens with steady volleying for minutes at a time. Sue Rury bounced back for Buffalo, easily outmaneuvering Oswego’s Linda Sugar. Rory had trouble at the line, however, allowing faults to feed Oswego points. - Doubles shut out “In the first three games I served, I had eight double faults,'* admitted Rury. Gaining momentum, Rury was able to conquer the opposition with valuable defensive tactics. UB’s doubles teams were successful in aiding the Royals’ team victory. In first doubles competition, Lynda Stidham and Carol Waddell outran their Great Laker rivals on the court, allowing no threat to their eventual sweep. “I was finally playing consistent tennis,” remarked Stidham. Their 6-2, 6-3 victory came after a match of lob hits as their dominating lead allowed UB to loosen up. "I had a really good time lobbing in the backcourts,” added Stidham. Buffalo’s second'doubles combo, Lynn Kirchmaier and Sharon Wolsky, allowed another victory to boost thenundefeated team record to 8-0. Oswego’s Kelly Shea and Marie Johnson bowed to the Royals superstars in a 6-2, 6-1 landslide. The UB players travel to Rochester where the State Championships take place this weekend. - ’ Royals with twin triumphs 0 Grid Bulls look to snap losing streak The football Bulls appear to be on the slide. Due to various problems— nbt the least of which is a plague of injuries—the gridders have lost their last two encounters, and now have a 3-3 record. But Uff coach Bill Dapdo does not expect his team’s slide to last, and in fact is confident of success as he prepares his troops for tomorrow’s contest at Westminister College in Pennsylvania. “We’re going to try to win all three games we have left,” the coach assured. “We had a really good workout this week—the kids are really,spirited.” The Bblls will face p Westminister squad that is built on running and defense. UB faced a similar team last week—yielding 375 rushing yards in a 40-12 loss to Albany State. But whereas Albany is defensive struggle played under sloppy conditions. “It’s going to be a tough ball game," predicted Dando. “They’re probably the biggest team we’re going to face.” Kevin Groody, an assistant football coach at UB, scouted the Westminister team last week. “They have strong running backs,” Groody reported. “Their speed is very strong in the backfield. Their offense is based primarily on the running attack." -Groody added that the Westminister quarterback, although seldom involved in the offense, has an adequate arm and can scramble fairly well. But he emphasized that the Bulls’ tarnished “brickline” defense will have to stop the run to succeed. “They have a slot-I offense,” Dando revealed. “That means they use a slot-back—lined up behind the offensive line—who can move either way, forward or sideways (as a Wide receiver in motion).” Defensively, Westminister uses the 4-4 alignment, two frequently moving linebackers up to the defensive line. “They have a quick defensive line, and strong aggressive linebackers who hit very hard,” Groody asserted. Dando has a strategical edge in that department, as the UB coach introduced Buffalo to the eight-man front long ago. “We brought that defense here in 1966,” Dando said. “We’re familiar with it, and we’ll take advantage of it.” —Carlos Vallarino The volleyball Royal's finally made it homel .Tuesday afternoon for their season’s first tournament, and.came away with a pair of victories over Oswego and Gannon College! Coach Peter Wienrich guided the Royals to an early\7-l lead against Oswego in the first match of the afternoom -Led by freshman Joan Maitino, the Royals increased the pressure and rolled to an easy 15-4 victory. Maitino continued to provide the offensive punch throughout the remainder of the two-game match, racking up a total of 12 points. j*»' v Oswego began to get it together in game two, but the hungry UB team outpaced them, winning 15-13. Laura Naronis paced the Royals with seven points to secure the victory. The Royals tackled Gannon in game two of the afternoon, and by staying in control all the way they handily defeated their Canadian rival 15-7. Freshman Robin Cooksey led the Royals with 12 points. In the final match, the game clincher saw the Royals’ cocaptain Akemi Tsuji teamed up with Naronis for 13 points as UB edged Gannon 15-12. The tense match was played with flawless precision, primarily from UB’s defensive standpoint. “We have greatly improved our defensive court coverage which initially had been our problem area, “disclosed Weinnch.

According to Program Acting Director Pierre Aubery, American Studies started with the intention of developing a strong graduate program. He said that the basis for undergraduate development lay in the ability to attract strong PhD candidates. “Unfortunately, expectations of the PhD program did . People in not materialize as rapidly as was expected the department are a little restless. The doctoral program has met so many roadblocks," he said. Aubery explained the significance of American Studies by comparing it to the University’s focus in the Humanities. He said accent is placed .jon a very traditional concept of culture—what it should be rather then what it is. But the point of his program, he said, is to stress that American culture is made up of a variety of minority cultures. “One major goal,” Aubery explained, “is to give members of minorities a tool to articulate and expand their cultures.” keep . . , Arts and Letters Additionally, he said there is an emphasis on gaining perspectives of American culture from outside of the states. Aubery sees American Studies as possibly paying a major role in the future of its parent Faculty, Arts and Letters. “A big argument in this University concerns the future of the Humanities,” he maintained. “We could perhaps offer a model of development for other departments through our emphasis on crosscultural studies and inter-disciplinary offerings.” About one-third of 'the courses offered through American Studies, he said, are cross-listed. Additionally, that program has been credited with boosting total enrollment figures for Arts and Letters with the number of students it attracts —second highest in the Faculty last year, according to former Acting Chairman Charles Kcil. Nevertheless, members of the program maintain that University support varies along with its operating budget while morale jumps up and down accordingly. “We received excellent support until about 1972-1973. Since that early commitment has sustained us, but we have been cut slowly and steadily,” Chisolm said, A specific area of disappointment, he said, is financial support for minority graduate students. “The University —continued from page 3— . , . budget cuts and also indicated that resigning or departing faculty members will probably not be replaced. Last year English lost two teaching fellow lines. The most dramatic increase in Arts and Letters occured in the Department of Modern Languages, specifically introductory language courses. Enrollment in first year French courses increased almost 17 percent, while both Italian and Spanish classes experienced close to a IS percent hike. “In the past few years we have had spotty increases, now it’s across the board” according to Department Chairman Edward Dudley. “Students have gotten thcmessage that, language will help them in whatever they go into,” he saifl/filfid it reflects in the numbers.” Indicating mat tne increases might beTort of a national trend, Dudley said the development of “business language” courses at the undergraduate level has greatly helped the Department. “We’ve had Business Spanish and Business German,” he commented, “and this year we have started business French.” any " Anti-rape Chisobn said-He has rcneggcd, on, it added that« a^.gjpai|<l; fcmd Apr Nativt American *nd Puerto Rican students has been continually cut and forced the program to slash other fellowships to maintain . those for minorities. Members of American Studies say the program was originally conceiyad as the University’s “golden boy,” but that the initial commitment has waned. “We have to make extraordinary efforts to maintain our position,” said Chisolm, explaining that continual pressure drams energy from other areas. “All we want is, the Administration off our backs. We are saddled with the necessity for continual meetings to justify ourselves. A lot of the spirit of this University is slowly stifled under the atmosphere of having to do things that don’t need to be done.” But Aubery was more apt to blame American Studies’ concerns on the University’s fiscal status. “We met a lot of slowdowns and uncertainties because of the financial situation here,” he said. The appointment of a permanent director of the program, he claimed is also hampered by dollar restrictions. “We have for a very long time been without a permanent head which is a necessity to ensure the strength of a program,’* Aubery maintained. “But funds are limited and hiring a permanent director means finding money to fill a full professor line. That will be difficult without some dramatic change—such as acquisition of a PhD program.” — efforts Jherv' will be an organizational meeting for all interested in joining the UB Anti-Rape Task Force Walk Service on Sunday, Oct. 21 at 7:30 PM in Squire's Room 234.

According to Nowak, Carey assured the homeowners that he is working on legislation to relocate “the motel people” into new homes. “Whether he’ll go through with it, we .don’t know,” she said. As the homeowners spoke, a letter writing campaign to the Governor was underway in one corner of the room. The Other One’s Dan Pfoltzer, a member of the Coalition—comprised of campus newspapers, the New York State Public Interest Research Group, and Tolstoy College—then urged the crowd to make its views known. "Hooker should pay,” he said in a steadily rising voice, “they’re responsible.” The rally, now about 100 strong, proceeded back to Hayes C. Some students spoke while others sat on the grass. Organizers had planned to initiate discussion amoung the crowd. Young said, but a few individuals emerged as key speakers, steering the crowd. “It dictatorship,” became a said Young. Organizers of the rally, who were not allowed into the building, approached Associate Vice President for StudentAffaifs Anthony Lorenzetti requesting him to ask a Hooker representative to come out and address the crowd. Lorenzetti, who was at the scene most of the day, told the crowd that Hooker recruiters felt unqualified to speak. He did take letters from various students to the Hooker reps to deliver to their superiors, but is uncertain of what happened to them. Suddenly about 60 students began marching around the building. A number of students started pounding on the Annex’s aluminum walls. Others surrounded the doorways, Young said, blocking students who were going into the building for interviews with Hooker or other companies. “We asked them (protesters) to stop and told them the collective was not responsible for their actions.” . Preneta —Garry CHEMICAL CRISIS: About 100 students protested Hooker's role in the Love Canal disaster Tuesday when representatives from Hooker recruited students for jobs in Hayes C. Above, ralliers were barred from the building by campus police. Although two windows were broken, Director of Public Safety Lee Griffin said the campus police were pleased with the coalition’s conduct during the rally. 'Griffin said the organizers were receptive to police requests. Overall, the organizers were pleased with the rally’s outcome.

The bill, co-sponsored by State Senator John Marchi and Assemblyman Dan Walsh, emerged as a reaction to a photograph that appeared last Spring in the City College of New York’s student newspaper. Observation Post. The photo, depicting a woman in a nun’s habit masturbating with a crucifix, spurred a “sense of genuine outrage” in the Senate according to Herbert B. Gordon, SUNY Deputy to the Chancellor for Legislative Relations. But Gordon added, “I think the chances of it being enacted into a law are less than 50-50.” And a source within the Legislature told The Spectrum don’t even think its that high.” Mandatory Student Fees are used to fund intercollegiate and intramural athletics, health and pharmacy service, and some of the music, theater and dance programs at UB. Mandatory Fees arc also used to fund student newspapers throughout SUNY. On this campus, the fees fund both The Other One, and Thundercurrenl, along with many special interest publications. The bill, bo'uyed by Marchi’s influential support, passed the Republican dominated Senate last June by a 43-13 vote. State Senator Dale Volker (R/C-Depew) voted for the bill, according to his spokesman Ralph Moore, because there are now “no checks on how the money is spent.” Student Association President Joel Mayersohn, however, students are both intelligent and responsible enough to spend their money “as we see fit, not how the State secs fit.” . as we see fit, not as the State sees fit Loosened ap Marchi won the Senate’s backing -with some strongly emotional arguuments against the Observation Post photo. But the Legislature’s sentiment eased eventually as the bill moved to the Assembly’s Higher Education Committee, Moore noted. “It loosened up quite a bit after that and they started talking reasonably/’ he said. Buffalo Assemblyman John Sheffer (R-Amherst) did not think the Assembly would follow the Senate’s emotional evaluation of the bills. “I don’t think the Assembly would readily do something that would cripple student activities,” he said. Sheffer, a member of the Higher Education committee, has not yet seen the bill, but said, “Without knowing more about it, it does seem to me that the cure is worse than the disease.” The Assembly is currently in adjournment, but the Marchi-Walsh bill is not expected to be discussed when it reconvenes in November for a special session. According to Walsh’s press secretary Dan Harris, the bill will most likely come up again during the next legislative session in January. The Student Association of the State University (SASU) has declared strong opposition to the bill as a violation of students’ democratic rights, while Assemblyman William Hoyt (D-Buffalo) is opposed to the bill because of it’s potentially devastating effect on student life. Hoyt said he will ask Chairman of the Higher Education Committee Mark Siegel to kill the bill in committee. Survey distribution begins, faculty views of Ketter sought by Kathleen McDonough Managing Editor This week, faculty members will be receiving copies of a survey designed to evaluate the University and its President. The survey will be presented to the team of three college presidents from' outside the SUNY system when they arrive on campus for a three day evaluation of President Robert Ketter. Although new guidelines for the evaluation of SUNY presidents preclude “the use of an opinion polling or survey procedure for constituent input,” the Faculty Senate voted September 11 to distribute a survey and authorized Senate Chairman Newton Oarver to use the information when he meets with the evaluators. The survey, entitled “Faculty Survey on University Goals, Responsibilities and Performance,’’ has five sections beginning with broad “Goals of the University, J narrowing down to the functions of the Office of the President, and finaUy focusing on “An Evaluation of the President.” Last year, a Senate Committee prepared a survey when operating under the old guidelines—in which an incumbent would seek reappointment for a five year term, as opposed to the new SUNY Trustees guidelines which place no time limits on the length of his term but subject him to evaluations at the pleasure of the SUNY Chancellor. The survey was revamped within one month and mailed out to 1,500 faculty members Monday. ’ More money in the till—P. 5 / One down, two to go . . . John Corfoally has been asked to serve as the Chairperson for UB President Ketter’s evaluation team. The Spectrum (gamed late Tuesday. Corbally was the President of the University of Illinois and is currently on leave. Contacted in Washington, Corbally said, “1 have been contacted by (Deputy to SUNY Chancellor] Murray Block and he indicated I would serve as chairperson of the evaluation committee.” Corbally—noting that the President post at Illinois is similar to SUNY’s Chancellor The original survey consisted of statements directly addressing the President’s performance and asked the respondent to rate each statement on a scale ranging from “strongly agree” to “strongly disagree.” Francis, Sociology professor Theodore Mills and himself—have had some experience in statistical analysis and in determining the validity of questionnaires. Two sections are particularly useful for comparison, he noted. The section entitled “Functions of the Office 6Tthe President” assesses the respondent’s view of what the president of UB should ideally do. The next section, “Presidential Performance,” sounds the faculty’s perception of Robert Ketter’s actual performance. ‘Double-barreled’ But according to Linguistics Chairman Wolfgang Wolck, one of the drafters of the revised survey, “Many of the questions in the first were double-barreled.” Some of the statements, he explained, contained two or even three points, making it impossible to determine exactly which question the respondent was answering. Wolck said that each of the drafters—Sociology Chairman Constantine Yeracaris, Higher Education Professor Bruce Reprint of Faculty Survey on position—explained that Block discussed five or six names with him as possible candidates to fill the remaining two slots on Ketter’s three-person evaluation panel. He declined to disclose who else will serve, saying, “1 don’t really know. Vou have to gel that informalion from Block.” Corbally, who is in the field of educational administration, noted that he, while serving as Chancellor of Syracuse University, knew Ketter 10 years ago. Avoiding generalizations , After the surveys—due in the Senate Office by 5 p.m. on Monday, Oct. 29—are completed. Professor Francis said, the Ketter—centerfold / drafters will prepare a statistical breakdown of the information, applying a computer program package designed to analyze various surveys. Francis said that descriptive data—percentage ranking of answers to each question on Faculty affiliation, etc. —will be given. The drafters are meeting today to discuss further plans. “We’re attempting to make the analysis as sensitive as possible and to avoid gross generalizations," Francis said. Debate has stirred in the Senate over the issue of attribution. Some fear that the evaluators could overlook the survey, under the new guidelines, since it is “nonattributable.” But Carver called an earlier proposal to assign each faculty member a numerical code “pandering to the Trustees." The survey asks for current faculty rank, number of years employed here, and Faculty or School affiliation. Carver, who believes that the survey will “invite pretty responsible answers,” has met with about 150 faculty members over the past several weeks. Carver said that he himself does not join in group discussions of the President, but takes notes on the conversation. Carver said that as a faculty representative he will supplement his report to the evaluators with the survey results. “1 really don’t need the survey to say what I think, but it is useful for the rest of the faculty,” he said. The results of the survey will be presented to the evaluators when they visit later this semester, he said.

(E&E). Recognized as a leading international authority on environmental issues, E&E acts as a forprofit consulting firm. It serves corporations seeking to avoid4awsuits as well as government agencies attempting to effectively enforce the slew of environmental regulations. Four scientists founded E&E in 1970, at the peak of environmental concern and its resultant legislation/The 1972 International Stockholm Conference on the Ecology marked a new global interest in solving environmental problems—providing another incentive “to make a profession of environmental affairs,” according to E&E liaison Laird Robertson, a UB graduate. “There’s a definite demand for our services,” said Robertson, explaining that the company has grown to ISO employees, encompassing a vast range of disciplines including chemists, engineers, '. biologists, and lawyers. E&E’s most challenging assignment has been monitoring the Alaskan pipeline construction, according to Robertson. The U.S. Department of Interior hired E&E to assess the possible environmental impact of the pipeline, such as wildlife disruption, soil erosion and pollution. E&E does pot actually write plans.or f tyluep{in|s, rather it recommends improvements in existing plans. The Alaskan pipeline traverses 800. miles through mountains, tundra and earthquake zones, requiring four years of intensive study by a large E&E team, who found the results to be “very successful.” Industries such as NationalFuel Gas seek E&E’s services when planning gas pipelines to ensure minimal environmental damage. Pipelines often cut through streams, soil and wildlife habitat, requiring expert environmental analysis. Geologist Mary McIntosh explained, “We sit down with a client and give the environmental assessment of their plan.” Since the client often heeds E&E’s advice, “many problems are solved”—such as possible lawsuits and negative publicity arising from environmental neglect.

The Jewish Student Union presents: Crucial impartiality Robertson and McIntosh emphasized the company’s prime philosophy—to present facts objectively.

The firm does not lobby politicians or voluntarily testify at public hearings. They do, however, frequently testify at the request of government agencies Which ne$l comprehensive information on proposed projects such as dams, oil refiners and coal mines. Impartiality is especially crucial when acting as “Third party mediators’’ between industry and government on controversial issues. E&E is “strictly environmental,” one of the few firms offering diverse services ranging from air pollution monitoring to wildlife protection. A wide range of talents back these broad services, often necessitating a Master’s degree or long experience in an environmental field. According to McIntosh, women are beginning to play a major role in the traditionally male-dominated field of ecology. McIntosh crtdtadnth* women’s movement for stimulating greater awareness of the Opportunities available to women.-She and Robertson cited the growing demand for people qualified in environmental affairs, who need not be “scientists” in the traditional mode. Robertson noted that a woman with a doctorate in English was recently hired as a technical writer.

Basil and Tom Buchanan Of six Currier and Ives prints stolen from the basement of Capen Hall since the UB Libraries moved last Summer—reported to be worth approximately $S,000 apiece by Courier Express investigative reporter Toqy Farina—not one is worth more than $50 an inventory has revealed. In a barrage of articles written in the Courier Express two weeks ago. Farina charged the six prints were stolen by a maintenance worker—now serving a 6-60 year sentenence in jail on an unrelated charge. He claimed that University officials were trying to secretly buy back the stolen items from local art dealers. The UB libraries attempted to cover up the buy-back scheme, he maintained, to avoid embarrassment regarding its supposedly 4 inefficient safeguarding procedures. But unidentified corroborative sources whom Farina relied on for the information apparently led the reporter on a futile journey through the streets of Buffalo’s Allentown district for prints scarcely worth the effort to retrieve them. Chancellor and Ketter still mum on the names of evaluation team by Daniel S. Parker Editor-in-Chief < UB and the Buffalo press are getting bounced all over in a game of political ping pong and SUNY Chancellor Clifton R. Wharton and UB President Robert L. Kettcr appear to be doing the paddling. Requests for the names of the three' college or university presidents who will evaluate Ketter this semester have again been turned down; Wharton refused to release the names to The Spectrum on Monday. Although the three have already been chosen from outside the SUNY system, the Chancellor said he is “not ready to release the names.” Wharton’s most recent denial is one of a chain linked from Albany to Buffalo and back—again and again. Originally, Wharton was expected to unveil the committee’s composition in late September. Then the Chancellor went to China for over a week late last month and the announcement was withheld. In the meantime, Ketter, in correspondence from Wharton’s office, received a list of those expected to serve on the evaluation panel. Out with 3 back ailment, Ketter—through his assistant, Ron Stein—relayed that he would not release the evaluators’names. On Thursday, October 4, the University learned from Wharton’s office that the committee’s make-up was supposed to be made public the next day. However, the expected announcement was not made. UB’s Director of Public Affairs James DeSantis explained that his office called Albany that Friday and was simply told there was a change—“but no explanation was given,’’ he said. Last week, Wharton’s Deputy Murray Block told The Spectrum that Kctter was responsible for the announcement because he had to arrange the University visit with members of the evaluation team. Many had speculated that Kctter, who addressed the University Council with regard to his “Statement of Stewardship” Friday, would also then disclose the committee’s composition. Kctter again, however, declined in face of student representative to the Council Michael Pierce’s inquiry. The President echoed a familiar, but unfulfilled, promise: “The Chancellor will release the names.” When contacted Monday, Wharton reversed his assistant’s statement, explaining, “The names will be released here.” The Chancellor refused to say when or to explain the delay noting, “There have been no problems, no confusion. The panej is appointed by me and I will release the names when they arc* ready.” Wharton would not specify when he would release the committee members or state whether a schedule for its on-campus site visit was finalized. “The details are not relevant,” he maintained. But apparently there were some problems. The names of the panel members for three other SUNY presidents who are slated to be evaluated will also be released at the same time Ketter’s team is identified. Block revealed that the delay was caused by one No reitfiction The results of the inventory were originally “restricted” by Robert Bertholf, curator of UB’s Poetry and Rare Books collection, this Monday. Bertholf claimed, “It is University Library policy not to give that type of information out.” However, after being contacted by The Spectrum, UB Public News Director John Thurston lifted the restriction and released part of the inventory results to the press. “1 can understand Dr. Bertholfs fears. Director of Public Affairs James DeSantis told The Spectrum. The Courier has been perpetrating incredible distortions,” he said. All of the information related to the inventory will be ' released through the UB Public News Director.

The Buffalo Courier Express reported Saturday, “confusion signals that at least one of the three nonSUNY presidents Wharton wanted to serve on the UB panel has been removed from consideration,” as a possible reason for the delay. Kctter said he had no objection to any of Wharton’s choices. The President also revealed that he had served on 4 'national committee with one of them five to six years igo, but would not elaborate. The long-anticipated announcement appears to be further stalled because Kctter will be out of the office this week.

Although the Assistant to the President for | € Cultural Affairs Esther Harriott had 5 originally requested $75,000, she told The Spectrum die is pleased with the amount received. Previously, all funding for OCA came from the State. According to Harriott, OCA has in the past operated on an annual $8,000 budget. The $25,000 gram—to be used over a period of a few years—will be much easier to spend than State money. “When trying to use State money to fund programs, the amount of red tape is mind-boggling. FSA i money is much more flexible,” Harriott remarked. Harriott wanted to use the FSA money to bring additional dollars to OCA through investment. “I hoped to use $10,000 and invest the rest,’* she said* but added, “FSA won’t allow it. We’re only allowed to draw on the money 4s it is spent.” Under FSA policy an amount of money has to be “spent” or intended for specific use before the Association will allocate it. % China Festival OCA, in existence since 1967, has, according to Harriott, been able to promote many successful events. It was responsible for bringing the Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra to Clark Gym last year. Additionally, h sponsored Mummenschanz, the Metropolitan Opera Madrigal Singersand monthly art exhibits. The Office also produces the television program, “Conversations in the Arts,” which airs on International and Courier Cable stations. Harriott said the biggest problem her Office faces is the lack of a fine arts complex to provide a physical focal point for cultural programs. “Because there is no Fine Arts Center here, we want to use a theme as a center,” she commented. Harriott explained that because of the rising interest in the People’s Republic of China, the Spring semester theme will be carried by the China Festival. For the first time since the Office’s inception, UB students will help decide how —Mia Freedman Esther Harriott of Cultural Affairs The amount of red tape is mind-boggling.' OCA money is spent in planning specifics for the event. “I appointed a Cultural Affairs Council of four students and four faculty members,” said Harriott. She explained that she will chair the me&iWgS, but will have no vote. The student members of the Council the graduate student' body, commuters, undergraduates and The Colleges.

Students‘will also get a chance to purchase imports from China at a boutique sponsored by the Albright-Knox Art Gallery. Additionally. OCA is planning to bring a Chinese Dance Company downtown to Buffalo’s Center fqr Theater Research. According to Harriott, a demonstration of Chinese Martial Arts is also on the agenda. The festival will be topped off by the first annual Arts Bash. This will be an indoor affair featuring Chinese food and possibly a rock band. While OCA is busy scheduling for the Spring, this semester has considerably fewer events. “We won’t be promoting as many programs this Fall as we usually do because last Summer’s dance festival used up most of .our Fall budget.” explained Harriott. However, OCA is sponsoring the performance of the Twyla Tharp Dance Company on October 25 in the Katharine Cornell Theater. Harriott has some ideas for future themes which include: “The" 1920’s,” “Images of Childhood” and the “Hispanic Arts.” She is confident tht these or others like-them will provide focus for on-campus cultural events until such time as the Fine Arts Complex is , completed. Publication pressure grows research quality down? by Cathy Carlson Contributing Editor The “publish perish” or syndrome is striking everywhere. A recent victim is medical research, possibly causing , a, decline of quality. The pressure To* teachers to publish 19; order to receive . promotion and recognition is increasing along with competition for getting published. Assistant to the UB Vice President of Research Shirley Stout paidfAifhc number of researchers goes up every year, resulting in stronger competition when applying for grants.” “The young teachers especially feel an internal pressure to publish as a way of establishing themselves,” said Medical School Dean John Naughton. He added that veteran researchers are “under the gun” to publish due to peer pressure. In a recent study published in The England Journal of Medicine (July 26, 1979), Doctors Robert and Suzzane Fletcher concluded that the quality of medical research has slipped over the last thirty years—partly because researchers are more interested in churning out frequent rather than accurate studies. The couple wrote, “It may be that researchers believe that they will receive more professional recognition for the quantity of publication then for the quality of their research.” years. He explained, “The pressure to educate a diverse audience (the public) stimulates the researcher to republish his work in a variety of The ways.” “hard-nose researchers,” he said, see the translation of research into lay terms as a sacrifice of quality. UB Professor of Physiology Charles Pagnelli pointed out that there are safeguards against publishing “junk” in journals. He explained that articles up for publication are reviewed by leading scientists in the field to assess their worth. The Fletchers maintain tfyat a decline in quality medical research has occurred basing their review on 612 articles printed in medical journals from 1946-1976. The team found a “sharp fall in the proportion of longitudinal studies and a rise in cross-sectional studies ...” A longitudinal study entails following the course of a disease over a number of years contrasted to a cross-sectional study which observes a single period in an illness. The couple found an increase—from 26 percent to 46 percent—in the number of less time consuming cross-sectional studies. “Such research,” they said, “is more prone to problems of chance, bias and confounding factors that can threaten the validity of conclusions based on the research.” They added that these methods are less accurate ways of conducting research. that arise when longitudinal studies are used, according to Dean Naughton. Funding is harder to secure for longitudinal studies, he said, and are difficult to carry out. Naughton added that this type of research method tends to “inhibit spontaneous research discoveries.” But there has also been some speculation that the “publish or perish” pressure affects not only research, but teaching as well. With reference to UB, Naughton maintained, “Teaching cannot be used as an excuse for not publishing since publishing is a way of ' . Safeguards against Junk Naughton complications .. claiming that the quality of research has probably increased over the last 30 publish in terms of advancement Recently, Assistant Professor of Political Science Daniel Novack—a highly regarded teacher—was denied tenure because of an insufficient amount of research and publication. He has published one book in his six years of teaching here. The difficulty of evaluating a teacher’s methods is a problem, according to Naughton.

UB Financial Aid Director Clarence Conner reported that about 40 percent of the students here receive some kind of assistance—grants or loans. He added that this figure is up from recent years, so much so that the number of awards for the 1979 Fall semester already equals last year’s total. Connor said that more students are. receiving help from various programs, both federal and state, because of “increased awareness.’’ He explained, “It’s not so much that parents can’t afford it, but that they know more aid is available.” He credited high school and college counselors as well as the federal government with publicizing information on grants. He also noted that it is much easier to get grants now than in the past, as funding has been increased and recent legislation offers grants for students in all economic groups. There is a myriad of funds currently available to students. Both the federal and State government earmark substantial amounts for higher education .aid to students. Connor 1 said'that it is “easier, in some wTi‘“ .sSnrWm get grants now than in the past;”* New York State has many different programs to'-channel funds to students. In fact, the Raid’s commitment to financial aid for students in 1979-1980 will total more than $1.4 billidh'in grants and loans, according to a source in the Governor’s Office. One of the largest programs is the Tuition Assistance Program which grants $256 million to 361,000 students State-wide. TAP consists of a grant, available for amounts between $200 and $1200, annually given to students according to their family income. Only students whose parents earn less than $20,000 are eligible for TAP. Regents scholarships have been awarded by the State Education Department to high school seniors since 1913. The award, not based on family income but scholastic achievement, is $230 annually for up to five years of full-time study. Allocated by county, over 19,000 new scholarships worth $19 million will be awarded this yeir. Available to students who are both educationally and economically disadvantaged are grants underthe Educational Opportunity Program. LIB Director Edward Jenkins reported that over 1000 UB students receive funding from EOP. These students, in most cases, receive additional educational assistance from the school. EOP is funded by the State University system, but students must apply through UB. New York State runs a guaranteed loan program in which a student can borrow up to $7500 for a four-year undergraduate degree and an additional $7500 for graduate work. The loan is obtained from a local bank and the State pays the interest while the student is in school. Nine months-after graduation, the student must begin to repay the loan and seven percent r yearly interest pn the unpaid balance. Two different types of loans are available from the federal Government. Under the direct system, students can borrow up- to $10,000' for undergraduate and graduate study. Payment begins nine months -after graduation, the only interest paid by the student is three percent on the unpaid balance. Again the government pays the interest, seven percent, until the repayment period. As a result of the 1978 legislation, the offices that distribute the loan are swamped with applications. Conner warned prospective applicants to file early, at least two to three months in advance, as the entire procedure will take up to four months. The work study program at UB currently employs about 1000 students, each of whom can work up to 20 hours a week. Coordinator Cheryl Kishbaum reported that this is the greatest number of workers ever. A reason for the increase, she maintained, is that students want “the practical work experience” that the program provides. Students may work on or off Federal aid budget unchanged but BEOG assistance hiked by David Galanter Spectrum Stuff Writer ‘ campus. Kishbaum places students on a “first come, first serve basis” but she tries to find them work in a field close to their major. The average grant is anywhere between $700 and $1200 and money is again doled out according to need. The federal government conducts a major assistance program in addition to Work Study. Basic Education Opportunity Grants are awarded directly to students, ranging in the past from $200 to $1800 yearly. Funding is based on an eligibility index that the government calculates for each student. As a result of the Middle Income Assistance Act of 1978, students whose .family income exceeds $25,000 are now eligible to receive BEOG funding. (Conner told The Spectrum that “this bill has just about doubled the Vi umber of students who are eligible for BEOG.” He pointed to last year’s total of 4000 awards, noting that this year’s total is already to 3653 and still growing. 60 % OFF £1)C JfcUr Jlork Shncs (Newsstand Price) AND WE MAKE THE DONATION TO THE UNITED WAY • *' V: rj. - *' JJork SimtB. *■> dally at this Get your copy of and we will donate per copy low ISC special rate of $1.00 to The OHIled Way campaign.

The budget—identical to last year’s calls for $5.2 biHion in college student assistance and is expected to be ratified by Congress sometime within the next four weeks. Even though the overall federal assistance budget will not be increased over the next year there will be more dollars available for those who qualify. A recent push toward stricter adherence to. the guidelines has freed more money for those actually eligible. According to UB Director of Financial Air Clarence A. Conner, "We are just getting more of the money to the right people. Seven Of eight years ago it used to be that a_ student could be eligible for aid as long as fib knew how to lie on the application; This is not the case any more.” Conner attributed this shift to policy changes made by former HEW Secretary Joseph Califano. “Califano closed many of the loopholes in the aid application," Conner said. “>!€ also instituted a policy whereby every institution dealing with federal aid programs would have to be audited by an independent auditor at least once every two years.” BEOG aid increase According to Assistant Director of UB Financial Aid David Bouman, the maximum BEOG grant will rise Also, due from $1800 to $2160 as of September to” the implementation of the Middle 1 ln<±)inc Students Act, more students are becoming eligible for federal assistance. In most cases, the act entitle; students whose parents’ annual income docs not reach above $25,000 to BEOG benefits. Additionally, it completely eliminates the deed for a.student to report his family income to qualify for a federally-insured loan, thus income. making anyone eligible The breakdown for student assistanctTh the federal budget for the 1981 fiscal year (which includes the 1980-1981 school year) is as fdflbwl:' BEOG—$2.5 million; billion; Guaranteed Student State Institutional Grants—$770 million; National Direct Student UdUfns —$650" million; Work Study—$550 million nSii£plementary Grants—$370 million. Last year’s budget (currently providing funding for these programs) has the same allocations. Conner and his staff are currently working on ways to improve the system within the“Uhlv<Hiiy So as to make it easier for students to obtain aid. By adding a computer terminal which is tied into the same computer used by the Office of Admissions and Records, they have successfully eliminated a time-consuming step in the loan application process. The terminal enables financial aid to verify a loan applicant’s enrollment in this University without the application ever having to leave the Office. Methods of eliminating certain applications and simplifying others are also being examined. Conners told The Spectrum, “Sometimes it may seem that we are not on the side of the student, but that is really the farthest thing from the truth.’’ �Guest Opinion : s KKK and Nazi Party pose resurgence threat Kept on the sidelines The way things are going, Robert Ketter will remain UB President. The University is slowly getting closed out of the decision-making process. Each day, as the political game between Albany and Buffalo gets more complex, the faculty, ? students, and staff here are thrust to the 5 sidelines—attempting to devise alternative means for ensuring their input in this University’s future. Sounds absurd? Sounds as if people at UB should play the major role in determining who the campus president should be? Sounds as if there are some alternative motives for gerrymandering the UB campus from the Ketter district? It all started last Spring. A committee of SUNY presidents met to devise new guidelines stipulating how all SUNY presidents would be evaluated in the future. This is like asking Carter to word the questions on the Gallup poll. The SUNY Trustees—ultimately responsible for selection of a campus president and knowing full well that they could remove one anytime they wished—adopted the | - ~ t « guidelines. The new presidential evaluation procedures totally disenfranchised the local campus from its previous role in the president’s tenure. That’s right. Students, faculty, and professional employees no longer have th4 RIGHT to officially judge their president.-"' Instead, another committee—comprised of three presidents from outside the SUNY system—will evaluate Ketter. This team is selected by the Chancellor in consultation with Ketter. It’s like asking the Prime Ministers of Great Britain, Israel and Canada to evaluate Carter—but telling them that they must not ask the American people where the country stands. The new guidelines are not merely an administrative coup to concentrate decision-making. They also stipulate what type of input is acceptable to the committee. They preclude opinion polls, surveys, or "non-attributable information.” Thus, the UB faculty survey, the student referendum, or any campus vote of Ketter—could all be ignored by the committee. It’s like asking the American people how they feel about Carter and then not allowing them to vote. The dangers inherent in the new guidelines are overwhelming. Just recently, Chancellor Wharton and Ketter have refused to disclose exactly who is on the UB President’s evaluation panel. Both Wharton and Ketter have known the names for close to two weeks, but efforts to discover the committee’s make-up have proved futile. In fact, Wharton will not even disclose when he plans to disclose their names. What is to guarantee this University a say in Ketter’s tenure? The UB community wants to know who will evaluate him, so it can investigate why they were selected, if they ever worked with Ketter before, and what criteria they plan to judge him by. But refusals by Wharton and Ketter only demonstrate that the real decisions will not be made in Buffalo, will not be made with the necessary input of students, faculty and others, and will not even emphasize the concern of parties who have a legitimate interest. Why? One theory is that Wharton would like Ketter to remain UB president. He knows Ketter’s political moves, and he has witnessed Ketter’s past and knows what to expect from the future, he is secure in his understanding of ,UB as an institution—as long as Ketter is at the helm. Another possibility is t(iat Wharton doesn’t support Ketter and wants to ensure his removal. By selecting panel members who are loyal to himself, the Chancellor can subtlely oust the UB President N This leaves Wharton with the flexibility to replace a “lame-duck” Ketter with an acting , president—one that will probably be from within the SUNY Central Albany by Wendy Krasnoff and Lori Levina administration; a person who can push fora resurgence in growth here or who can passively watch as the University walks its budget/enrollment tightrope. A third possibility is that Wharton really doesn’t care who leads UB. In fact, Wharton may not care about the fate of this institution. If it swims, fine; if it sinks, top In late July, a few students found leaflets in Townsend Hall printed by the National Socialist White Peoples’ Party (Nazi Party). One side of the leaflet contained a picture of a black man under a sign which read “Not Responsible.” Written across the bottom of the 'leaflet in bold letters are the addresses of National headquarters in Virginia, and Midwest regional headquarters in Chicago.

Although he was an economist, I never held that against him. He was supposed to teach the intricacies of supply and demand, I was supposed to pass. In a strange way, he was a comfort—that he could make sense of the spirits ruling the marketplace meant that I didn’t have to. He did some brokerage from his kitchen table and on a moment's notice he would tell you precisely what was wrong with current Federal Reserve policy. He was a vivid swashbuckler in the ghost world of commercial paper. Now he was in a dark corner nibbling on a peanut butter sandwich. "What are they doing, what are they doing” he mumbled over and pver again. His brokerage work was an independent project—an Aladin’s lamp that if he rubbed enough it would enable himm to do away with teaching listless students. “What happened?” I inquired. “Don’t touch me,” he shouted. He squinted as though he itfs you” he said, isJufcfpmg to -tn»flobf* **lt allsoveiJ.” “What’s over?” I said. He looked at me as though I came from another age. Rapidly he spoke, his raving punctuated by fits of sobbing. He spoke of the Federal Reserve, how last weekend it decided to take its restrain off the prime interest rate—the price of money lent—would instead concentrate on the amount of dollars floating around. Saturday night the edict came down from the Grand Wazir in Washington Paul Volcker. “The bastard,” he hissed, referring to the Reserve head. Monday the banks were closed for the holiday but he started to get orders from his investors, other teachers with a few thou on the market, middle-level service workers. At first it was a trickle, a wife telling her hubby to sell before it was too late. On Tuesday, a veritable tidal wave of wives told their hubbies to sell. Irgang didn’t get any sleep that night. Long after the market had closed, he was up tabulating the volume he lost. The Dow Jones index, dropped 26.45 points, the biggest drop in six years. The stock market is like a baby—it doesn’t like sudden changes. To add to the hysteria, it was the 50th anniversary of the Great Crash of 1929. And the moon was full too. Irgang had his money invested in the same issues his investors did. After all, he had recommended them. And when everyone started selling issues of perfectly good companies, his value dropped too. When the interest rate rose to 14.5 percent, stocks became a great deal less appealing. And Irgang began to lose his mind as ... Thomas' Christiana if*i» Affect Another Voice by Ralph Allen some appalling statistics were featured showing the abysmal ignorance of the Important political and cultural facts amoung 18 and 17 year olds. Studying a group of 1000 persons, George Gallup found, to quote only a little from the article: "Only 42 percent of the group had ever heard of the absentee ballot, and 50 percent did not know that the President doesn’t appoint 33 percent thought that Congress [I] newspapers and magazines either were not or should not be allowed to print articles critical of the government.” Granted, these figures can only be suggestive but this is still pathetic! I would think, that on historical, cultural, and critical consciousness, which the humanities are supposed to impart, is pail of what is missing here (an extrapolation from 17 and 18 year olds to college students is not very difficult to justify when we see that many of them avoid the humanities like the plague). In my view, democracy in the educational system is inversely proportional to. the health of a political democracy. Of course, the authoritarianism which I am defending would be tempered by the right of the student to choose their own major, as well as an encouragement of reflection and debate in the classroom. All of this said, I think that Dr. Wolf’s more antagonistic comments were demeaning and inappropriate, and I also agree . with Robert Springer's inclusion of the sciences into any reasonable General Education program. letters), -*3 position change To the Editor: he was losing his shirt. “The bastards, they made me sell” he hissed. Steady as she blows Irgang had lost his cool. He was not a house of cards, but it was falling anyway. In better days, he had told me how economists were revered during the Kennedy and Johnson administrations, how they were supposed to bring about greater wealth to a greater number of people than this country had ever seen before. Under Nixon, Ford and Carter the economists fell from grace. What Was left was a pack of academicians fighting among themselves when they weren’t busy fighting off attacks from a public who felt them to responsible for everything from the decling dollar to the decreased attendance in churches. Some of Irgang’s peers felt the Federal Reserve had done the right thing. The interset rate was to be free to adjust with the rate of inflation and the Reserve was going to control the growth of money by controlling bank reserves. But even if that was the correct thing to the markets’ disobedience do—Irgang had of classic laws of econmics too long for him to simply sit back and duck how independent the government was. He thought he had figured out what was ailing the economic beast and one day dammit, he decided to profit by the governments follies. Even if that meant abandoning principles that he believed were correct and sound, Irgang could make more money by practicing the unsound. He had profitted yes, but this time the wave came in the wrong direction—it caught him off balance. He was nearly wiped out. “Pork bellies, I’ve gotta get more pork bellies,” he started for the phone. I left. For all I know by now he might ‘own’ a quarter of all the pork bellies west of the Mississippi —bought courtesy of that all-American invention, credit. Someone said it earlier, “It’s not how you play the game that matters. It’s whether you win or lose.” What’s right for the economy has become a relative thing—do you choose measures that will better the chances of the patient recovering in the long run even if it means plunging him into immediate shock, or is it better to try to keep him from getting any worse, and hopefully he will get better? This is also assuming you know for certain how to do either of those things. I don’t trust Irgang to steer this country into balanced economic growth. The problem is that the wheeler-dealers of the marketplace are full of Irgangs, some big, ''others little.’ But the temperament’s the same and with the game thay play we may all lose. The attitude taken by the Ad Hoc Committee for Responsible Journalism as to their view that The Spectrum accept no recruiting ads from Hooker could appear to some to be contraenvironment. A key presumption in their letter is that any engineer who takes a Job with the ‘baddies" is going to start killing and maiming “too". Does this Committee see this as a result of an innate hatred on the part of graduating engineers toward the environment or of a brainwashing on the part of Hooker toward all its new employees? It might be a better way of looking at humanity in general and engineers in specific if this enlightened Committee could see that the solution to environmental problems lies less in castigation and more in recruiting proficient and concerned technical personnel. If UB engineering graduates are considered to be both, then someone concerned about the environment should be in favor of these prople taking jobs in environmentally troubled corporations. If the ranks of corporate decisionmakers become filled with environmentally boncerried individuals (and it may be naive to think thdre are no Individuals like this in corporations now), then it would seem that the environmentally proper decision with respect to overall cost and benefits would be made. Its a lot easier to affect positive change with a responsive, responsible individual contributing to policy, than it is to have all the responsible people banging with frustration and anger on the beleaguered fortress door. ‘ Patrick Dooley SA Senate meeting The SA Senate will hold its first meeting of the year Monday, Oct. 22 at 5 p.m. All students are urged to attend.

It says, “No person shall sell or offer for sale to any person enrolled in a university, college, academy, school, or other educational institution within the State of New York any assistance in the preparation, research, or writing of a dissertation, thesis, term paper, essay, report, or other written assignment needed for submission to such educational institution in fulfillment of the requirements for a degree, diploma, certificate, or course of study.” By printing this ad, you are directly contributing to the breaking of a law.

Pat Simmons’ job as host was carried out well also. (He is the only original member left. Tiran Porter joined the group for the second album; another error appearing).

D.C. Sunday to press their demandsfor gay rights, many other gay people stayed home, either unable tq participate or unwilling. Jack Pearson, a freelance writer from Chicago, was one gay who chose not to associate himself with the mainstream ,gay movement, which, he asserts, is threatened by oppression from within its own ranks more than from any forces in the "straight world. j ” , Perhaps I should find some solace in being included within the ranks of a minority, a status that has become somewhat fashionable. Solace might come easier if my minority status were of an ethnic, political, racial, or religious nature. I am linked to a group of people for no reason other than v i a shared sexual orientation. Some people might be surprised to leant that there are homosexuals who do not wish to be identified with the gay community as a whole. We arc not trying to portray ourselves as heterosexual or even as more acceptable to heterosexuals, but we do nbf share the values and tastes that typify the gay lifestyle. Having acknowledged my own sexual orientation at the age of fourteen, I have had twenty-one years to acquaint myself with the world of gays from the inside. I have learned that social success in the gay world requires unchallenged conformity. From the trendy vernacular to dress codes, to sexual behavior, conformity is the name of the game. The fact that I am sexually fulfilled by one person seems totally alien to most of my gay friends. Because I am not “ready and willing” to participate in the gay parade of changing sex partners, I confess to being out of step. I have outgrown the gay bar scene, the baths, “cruising” the streets in tight jeans. I am not a prude. I just happen to have grown up. Some years back I became sadly aware of a large number of unhappy, middle-aged homosexuals who shared their lonely lives with only a handful of gay acquaintances. Their earlier years had been spent pursuing sex and superficiality. Substance had escaped them and they had turned into despondent older men for whom “gay” would be the classical misnomer. s Uncomfortable truths While still a teenager I learned the ins and outs of the relentless pursuit of gay sex. The pressing of young gay flesh is quite popular sport, as 1 learned in numerous places, private and public, from choir loft to the back row.of the local movie theater. Sexual exploits of an “at random” nature are not only expected in the gay lifestyle, but are often used as criteria for measuring social success. Comparable behavior among straights would hardly be considered the basis of,a solid reputation. A surprisingly small portion of the urban gay community strives for the kind of fidelity that even gays expect of heterosexual relationships* Anita Bryants, though abhorrent to those-opposed to intolerence and prejudice, have touched on some uncomfortable truths. The most obvious to straights and most unacknowledged by gay people is that we generally exppct and require a different moral code for our heterosexual counterparts. Countless times in my youth I was invited to enter into a “lover” relationship, sometimes by those who had known me for a matter of days, and at other times by someone who already had a lover at home. The swinging singles and mate-swappers of today’s straight society account for but a small percentage of the populace. Yet, in the gay subculture a comparably relaxed moral code is definitely the rule rather than the exception. COMMUTER BREAKFAST on / Until gays require adherence to the same moral code for themselves as for nongays, people such as Anita Bryant will wield at least one sickle of truth, and will use it with a zeal that will never permit total recognition and acceptance by society. We gays expect straight society to exercise some control over its sexual appetite while we permit our own sexual desires to determine the type of lifestyle we lead, usually one that is promiscuous and self-serving. This is one homosexual’s admission that double standard born in the gay lifestyle are a more serious obstacle than any oppression or intolerance from without. Counterfeit basis I am also a homosexual who says that it is a classical cop-out for homosexuals to portray themselves as afl oppressed minority. Gays have, in fact, played a far greater role in separating ourselves from the remainder of society than the would-be oppressors. j -W The idea that homosexuals are greatly«tmfined and limited by the rest of society is Often the result of separatist gay attitudes. 1 know many gay men and women who go far overboard in their support of strictly gaybusinesses and organizations. Some will patronize a restaurant because it is a “gay” restaurant despite the inferiority of its food and service at comparatively higher prices. To me, the notion that where one eats, shops or goes for entertainment should be determined by his sexuality is ludicrous. Many gays are certain that the answer to our social ills lies in educating the public. Gay rights leaders should question themselves as to how well educated they wish the straight public to be. Should we tell them of the un par ailed incidence of social diseases among gays? Should we tell them of a casual acceptance of promiscuity by gays that would leave many “liberated” straights breathless? Such a forthright presentation may well alienate many straights presently in the camp of tolerant neutrality. Until the scope of gay lifestyles broadens and gay vision clears, I cannot be very excited about all the work being done to achieve social acceptance of gays. I can only wish to be counted out of it.

The current budget is $25,000, one-fifth of which is financed by Student Association. Alumni contribute $16,000 through individual donations, according to Alumni Association Director Bill Dock. “In the event that it doesn’t come up to that," Dock explained, “we make up the difference, if there is a difference." In 1978, the balance assumed by the Alumni Association came to roughly $4,000. “It looks like it is coming in better this year," Dock asserted. The remainder of the budget is provided for by pregame ticket sales, which include season tickets, and by left oyer funds from previous years, explained UB Men’s Athletic Department must pay $2.50 at the gate. Season ticket sales were available to $8 or $10. Alumni have purchased over 275 season tickets in 1979, compared to under 200 last year. Dock speculated that the vast majority of the ticket holders bought the $10 tickets. Hie food concessions at the game are operated by Food Service Association (FSA) and no profits are given to UB football. Sales vary from game to game but according to Governors FSA Manager Tom Modica, average about $400 per game. Modica operates the concession booth at Rotary Field. Hot dogs, hamburgers, potato chips, brownies, lemonade and Pepsi are a sample of the consumption goods offered by the seven person operation headed by Modica. “Pepsi’s a new thing this year. It takes the pressure off the lemonade,” Modica quipped. The manager revealed this gourmet gameplan: "The thing is to have enough food for the first half, and a little bit for the second,” he said.

Day-of-game sales are used for athletic programs other than football. “First priority js the women’s program," Muto said. Game attendance is up this year, averaging 5,600 fans per home game. Of that, students comprise nearly 3500 of the spectators. Almost 5000 students hold season tickets for the games, an increase of over 60 percent. The season tickets are, of course, free to students. “There are some students, though, who don’t know that they are entitled to free games,” Muto said.

During the game, as UB forward Ray Eckert put it, “LeMoyne scored once, we scored twice, and the officials scored three times for them." The final result was a LeMoyne 4-2 victory. UB coach Sal Esposito regarded the officials as so bad that he pulled the squad off the field with five mlfeutm-left tb play. ‘‘I felt personally frustrated over the officials,” Esposito complained. The coach emphasized - Eckert’s point, saying, “The officials gave them one goal, and they scared once. Our guys had an uphill battle, but they came back to score twice. Then the referees gave LeMoyne two more.” Esposito cited numerous examples of the incompetence of the officials, including differing opinions, missed fouls and overall’bad'CaHs. “On one play, one official called for a comer kick, the other signalled a goal kick,’’ he described. “So instead of having a drop kick as you’re supposed to questionable calls mar game when the officials disagree, they gave LeMoyne a goal kick.” LeMoyne dominated the opening half of the game, as the Bulls displayed their now customary laid back style. The supposedly poor level of officiating dampened Buffalo’s morale in the first half. Down 2-0, UB came back quickly to tie the game in the second half. Following a Keith SchprabingeE shot on goal, Scott Bleyle put the Bulls on the scoreboard by kicking in a rolling rebound off the LeMoyne goalie. Minutes later, UB’s Luis Tennis Royals dominate Big Four by Betsy DelleBovi Spectrum Staff Writer Most people would agree that consistency is a vital characteristic toward any team’s success. The Royals tennis squad displayed consistency and harmony in dazzling Niagara, Canisius andBuffalo State for the third year in a row at Saturday’s Big Four tournament on Amherst campus. The final point tally Was UB 18, Niagara 11, Canisius 8 and Buffalo State 4. UB showed forcefulness and swift hitting to overpower these three visiting schools. Canisius, still licking unhealed wounds from their loss to UB last week, could not snatch a single win from the Royals and lost by similar scores. Griffins sported an unstable 4-5 record going into the tournament. Niagara, on the other hand walked onto the courts with the most impresssive record of the four teams, 6-2 compared to the Royals’ 6-4. The Lady Purple Eagles walked off, however, having snared only one victory from the hosts while taking second place in the tournament. Buffalo State has had their problems this season and posed no threat to UB. The Bengalettes’ season record stands at 3-5, due partly to a very young roster. See you later The Royal looked on the Big Four Tourney as a preview to their match against Buffalo State on Friday. The Bengalettes earned a mere four points, which may well boost UB’s confidence going into Friday’s match. The Buffalo roster excelled with several “triple winners”—players who won all three matches. Wearing warmups and a downfilled vest for protection $om the cold penetrating wind, first singles Debbie DiCarlo easily took her three sets, 8-0, 8-6, 8-3. DiCarlo whipped Niagara’s top performer, Michelle Collagrassi, outlasted Buffalo State’s Mary Scheiber and defeated Karen Utz from Canisius. DiCarlo seemed warmed up still from last week’s powerful victory over Utz. “This is the.third year in a row that we have won the Big Four Tournament,” UB coach Connie Comnitz pointed out proudly. Coincidentally, it is - Azcue evened the count as fullback Ed Sorkin got an assist.

Buffalos other three—time winners include captain Dee Dee Fisher, who seldom aHowed a shot to get by in second singles competition. Fisher crushed Sue Ferta of Niagara, 8-0, Buffalo State’s Jadzia Zanithon, 8-2, and Canisius rival, Kathy Kujava, 8-4. Fisher had seen Kujava before, having beaten her, 6-3, 6-1, in UB’s recent confrontation awith the Griffins. UB third singles Heidi Juhl also joined the select list of triple winners outfitting and outrunning her three contenders, 8-2, 8-5, 8-2. Canisius Susie Lapetina threatened to overtake Juhl late in their match, but the Buffalo star did not waver and came out on top. Juki's individual record now stands at 10-2. y Solid combinations The Royals’ doubles pairs exhibited the same dependability that their teammates have come to expect. The first doubles pair—Lynda Stidham and Carol Waddel—triumphed over Niagara’s Mary Meach and Jean Callahan, 8-3. The two quickly followed suit by swamping Canisius and Buffalo State, 8-5, 8-t, respectively. The Royals second doubles team remained undefeated, adding Bjg Four triumphs to their gleaming 7-0 record. Buffalo’s Lynn Kirebmaier and Sharon Wolsky convincingly outplayed their three opponents’ doubles teams, winning 8-3 (Niagara). 8-5 (Canisius), and 8-1 (Buffalo State). UB's double winners were Kitty Higgens and Sue Rurjl. Higgens handily beat Canisius hitter Joy Schweitzer, 8-1, and Buffalo State’s Margaret Englert, 8-3. Niagara’s Meg Cooney accounted for Higgens’ only loss, 3-8. Rury, a promising young athlete, also aided the Royals’ final outcome, prevailing over Canisius powerhitter Terry Murdock, 8-2. It was Rury’s second win over Murdock in two weeks. Rury’s loss came at the hands of Buffalo State’s Debbie Szaglin, 8-1. Rury did not need to meet Niagara in a match, as Buffalo had already clinched the Jitterbug, shimmy, ballet Ballet Shoes and Adidas . . .

This event is sponsored by Tolstoy College F and will be held at Townseid Hall, Room 107A. . s Thomson’s news. Center directors interpreted the lack of funding as the death knell for the Creative Associates. Without a full-time administrator, the Center would be forced to close. Own nuking According to Levine, the Center’s administration “arbitrarily imposed*a deadline of October 5^for the vacancy to be filled.” Thomson said at a meeting on October 4, that Levine could not fill the vacancy due to financial constraints in A & L. Claiming constant contact with the Center’s directors throughout, Levine related "They then gave this information to the Courier Express later that night. They didn’t even bother to. wait until the deadline.” The Center’s original budget “lines”—salaried positions—have been cut from sixteen in 1964 to a current two. The money for the two is slated to expire,in April. Albany dictates how many lines will be cut from the University’s budget each year. It is up to administrators here to decide exactly how cuts will be distributed across the various faculties. Although Vice President for Academic Affairs Ronald F. Bunn determines the budget for Arts and Letters, the AAL Dean ultimately judges which departments will be the ones to suffer the cuts. Each of the Faculties in Natural Sciences and Mathematics, Academic Affairs and Arts and Letters—must maintain a certain number of vacancies. According to Levine, Arts and Letters does not presently have the number of vacancies it should. A vacancy quota is assigned by the Office of thcPresidcnt to Academic Affairs. The number of vacancies within each Faculty is set by the Vice President for Academic Affairs. Vacancies can be used as a buffer—when Albany cuts lines, vacant positions go first to avoid firing staff. Dr. Bunn agreed at a meeting last Wednesday that the Center’s continuance is important enough on an emergency level to fill the vacancy,” he related. Adoption According to Thomson, a search is now undefway for Pplowy’s , -Tt . > e • replacement. He told The Spectrum “We are presently interviewing 4 many possible candidates. One option being considered is the Center’s possible merger with the Theatre Department’s downtown Center for Theatre Research (also known gs the UB Center Theater). Polowy’s vacant line would then be expanded to a position fulfilling the administrative needs of both cultural groups. Originally, the Music Center was to have included a theatrical wing. Director of the Center for Theater Research and Theater Department Chairman Saul Elkin expressed his desire to help keep the Music Center afloat. “1 think the merger is a possible solution but the parties involved really haven’t talked about it yet. Though things we do are mutually exclusive and also cooperative, is nothing impossible,’’ he stressed. Guaranteed funding for the rest of the academic year, the Center for the Creative and Performing Arts may still be threatened next year. Levine acknowledged, “We will have to decide its future in the ’ Spring.” mown Wing | Ding low price.

Herbicide Agent Grange takes toll on Vietnam vets by Du Holder Spectrum September. 1968—At Bien Hoa Air Force Base, just outside Saigon, enlisted Air Force personnel were Tilling the tanks of morning flight of three C-123 cargo planes. Inside the tanks was a liquid called Agent Orange, a herbicide designed to remove the leaves from trees, which would deprive the Viet Cong guerillas of their natural cover. The planes flew at an altitude of ISO feet, just above stalling speed to ensure proper distribution of the defoliant. Plane crews commonly worried that such slow speeds would cause the planes to crash. They also worried about Viet Cong gunfire. They didn’t worry about what was in the container five feet behind them. Now, eight years after the end of the fighting, Vietnam veterans across the country have started asking questions about the longrange effects of Agent Orange on humans. Veterans groups have organized protests, complaining of numbness in hands and feet, depression, cancer and births of deformed childreti. Between 1962 and 1969, the United States Air Force sprayed about one-seventh of South Vietnam with a combination of herbicides. Agent Orange was employed to strip trees of leaves: Agent Blue, an arsenic compound, was designed to control vegetation in populated areas; and Agent White, which was spread to prevent rice crops from reaching maturity. Over 19,000flights dropped at least 44 million pounds of the herbicide 2,4,5-T, which makes up one half of Agent Orange. Qi including the earliest known Dioxin accident in Nitro, West Virginia in 1949. Recently, 13 employees in Jacksonville, Arkansas were found to have the skin injury known to be caused by exposure to Dioxin. The Environmental Protection Agency issued an emergency suspension against the herbicide 2,4,5-T this Spring, The Agency ruled that the mixture is not to be used anywhere, except in limited use on range and pastureland. Manufacturers of 2,4,5-T have recalled the existing stocks. Stuff Writer 44 million pounds Prior to the suspension, the EPA .Ban Cat; Chua Chan; Cao Lanh; Thanh Hung; VI Thanh; Globa, Arizona . During breakdown of 2,4,5-T a contaminant' called Dioxin is released. This is the real danger of Agent Orange to about 2.8 million Vietnam veterans. According to Buffalo Poison Control Center spokesperson Sandya Papel, dioxin is listed as an irritant in small doses. Effects of short term exposure, as listed by the Center, are eye injury, skin bums, acute headaches and nausea'. Chronic exposure to Dioxin leads to liver and kidney damage, with dosages above 12 ounces fatal for a 150 lb. person. But, veterans groups around the country claim this is only part of the story. According to a report broadcast in March 1978 by WBBM-TV reporter Bill Kurds, veterans in Chicago are suffering from a multitude of problems ' allegedly related to Agent Orange. These symptoms arc finally showing up eight to twelve years after exposure to Agent Orange in Vietnam. The Veterans Hospital in Buffalo has set up a team to deal with all veterans complaining of Agint Orange related illnesses. Outpatient Physician at the Veterans Hospital Laszlo B. Szimonize urged any veteran who has Dioxin related symptoms to come in for a free physical examination. Scare tactics The VA contends that the only direct result of Dioxin exposure is a skin disease called chloracnc, and that all other diseases claimed by veterans are similar to problems encountered after previous wars.

Szimonisz, most have been treated for Chloracne and released, with treatment limited to antibiotics to reverse the effects. “Facial scars are a problem in extreme cases, but advances in plastic surgery have just about erased any chance of permanent disfigurement,” he said. Nonetheless, veterans rights group Citizen Soldier spokesman Michael Hul insisted that these actions are not enough. “There is a population of veterans with similar problems, related to common symptoms of chemical poisoning. We feel that the government should be financing a large scale epidemiology survey among veterans,” he noted. Based in New York City, Citizen Soldier is also coordinating a number of lawsuits against the manufacturers Of 2,4,5-T for what he called “The failure of these manufacturers to adequately test their product, causing an environmental plague.” There are now 120 lawsuits in progress against the companies who produced 2,4,5-T including Dow Chemical, Hercules Inc., and U.S. Rubber Co. Most of the information on the effects of 2,4,5-T on humans has come from industria' "'idents, allowed usage of the chemical for clearing pastureland of bushes, clearing railroad and powerline right of ways and forest control. However, between 1973 and 1977 a number of miscarriages were reported in Alsea, Oregon which was blamed on nearby spraying of 2,4,5-T. Following this, the EPA limited spraying operations near populated areas and waterways. Eight years later, the signs of Agent Orange linger in Vietnam. The 44 million pounds of defoliant dropped wiped out up to 5 million acres of hardwood trees —a major export product of the impoverished country. Little is known on the condition of the population of Vietnam who sprayed '•or were drank contaminated water during the war years. According to an article in Science Magazine, Ton Thai Tung, a North Vietnam scientist, believes that Agent Orange has caused extensive cancer and birth defects among Vietnamese. The National Institute for Environmental Health Services argued however that there is “no scientific evidence” that “chemical insult to a man” could cause birth defects. Agent Orange, a military answer that never worked, has left a long trail of anxieties behind it.'Hul believes that the United States should divert some of the funds now being spent to investigate the exact affects of Dioxin on both humans and the environment. “It would be a major step forward in technology, and it would only be a small fraction of the millions now 1 M m nuclear bomb research,” he insisted. �A rt Au Statement of Stewardship f - - * ■ : Ketter fields questions at UB Council session by Elena Cacavas News Editor Frank N. Cuomo addressed the subject of faculty retrenchement. He noted that Ketter speaks of retaining students, but added, “we would also like to take steps to retain the teachers we have.” UB faces the threat of losing teachers of “national and international” renown, Cuomo said. ‘‘Could you,” he asked, ‘‘reiterate our efforts to balance academic excellence with budgetary demands.” Ketter explained that flexibility to respond to changed student demand for courses is not readily available. “1 have no doubt DOB (Division of Budget) is enrollment bound. Last year they asked us for 36 positions. They could have asked for 80 or 90.” Last year, 12 staff positons and 24 faculty positions were cut largely due to enrollment falling short of projections. schools, Some noted Council woman Rose H. Sconiers, pressure teachers to publish and base tenure decisions partially on publication records. She asked Ketter whether anything here had been done to avoid that and questioned the teacher evaluation process, “since looking at your administrative structure there seems to be so many layers.” Ketter told the eight Council members—three of the 11 were absent—that tenure can be based The UB College Council Friday tossed questions' to University President Robert L. Ketter regarding his Statement of Stewardship, prepping themselves for the mandatory evaluation of his " performance. The session was mandated by the SUNY Chancellor’s new guidelines for presidential review and paves the way for formation of the threeman outside evaluation team. The next step calls for Council Chairman Robert I. Millonzi to to respond the Statement —essentially Ketter’s own view of UB and his Presidency. It has not yet been determined whether the final evaluation from Millonzi will follow further discussion or even a full board vote. The guidelines only call for response “from the Chairperson” and Millonzi on Friday said a decision on how his response would be formed is “premature.” “There may be future discussions,” he said “but I haven’t set up any timetable yet. That will be done as soon as 1 can fit it into my schedule, probably the week after next.” Retrenchment Freshman Council the particular needs of a department and is often based on a combination of published material, teaching and service to the University, he said. on -> member Open decision-making READ ON: Above, University President Robert L. Ketter and the student representative to the Council Michael Pierce (left) listen to the discussion on Kattar's 'Statement of Stewardship/ The University Council met Friday and the main item on the agenda, as prescribed by the SUNY Trustees evaluation guidelines, was Ketter's statement. University Council Chairman Robert Millonzi (below) caught up on University news before the meeting began. “When a person is brought in,” he explained, “1 discuss her or him with the department chairman to see how that person fits into the department. It is also at my request that each chairman meet with his faculty members to review their accomplishments over the year and future goals.” •Student Representative to the Council Michael Pierce asked Ketter to comment on what Ketter perceives to be the student opinion regarding the direction of this University. Team set —but not public i at least to the public. The names are still a secret UB President Robert L. Ketter declined to disclose the names of the three-person presidential evaluation team at Friday’s College Council meeting. The team is slated to visit campus and evaluate Ketter later this semester. Previous reports had indicated that Ketter would reveal the members of the panel, comprised of presidents from outside the SUNV system, at Friday’s meeting. But Ketter refused, saying, “I have received communication from the Chancellor’s Office that he i will release the names.” One person on the panel served on a national committee with Ketter five to six years ago according to the President, and all the names are familiar to him. The panel was selected by SUNY Chancellor Clifton R. Wharton, who then forwarded the names to Ketter. Last week, Wharton’s Deputy. Murray Block told The Spectrum that the names were forwarded to Ketter so the President could arrange the date and time of the on-site evaluation team’s visit. Block saidKetter would release the names when the evaluation schedule was completed. But Friday, Ketter said that he attempted to contact one person of the team—the Chairperson—but could not reach him, and called Block back. Ketter noted, “the Chancellor’s Office directed me not to release the names until all of them have agreed (to serve).” The UB President, who has been out of his Office for over one week with a back ailment, said he doubts the originally hoped for timetable can be met. Earlier in the semester, Wharton suggested that the review be completed by Thanksgiving. Ketter said he believes “now, he’s probably thinking more towards Christmas.” Once the names are made available to the public, Ketter noted, he will make arrangements for the three-day site visit. . . “I have no doubt,” Ketter admitted, “that there will not be unanimity of opinion regarding the direction that things will take.” But Ketter noted doubt that the President is ultimately accountable. i. Ketter pointed to the need for .“deliberate and open” debate, to be followed by his own judgement. He added that this institution is shaped by the Vice Presidents, Deans, Faculty Senate and appointed committees. %• Addressing a question from Pierce on the University’s search for money beyondthat allocated by DOB, Ketter explained that ffforts are underway and are aided bjra SUNY Office in Washington which notifies schools of available grants.

Maggiollo first appeared in The Spectrum’s September 19 edition. We felt that both articles should be re-printed detailing the history of the Love Cana! and the legal complications, as a backdrop to -tomorrow's protest against Hooker Chemical. Finding right law to make those liable pay for damages by Paul Maggiotto responsibility City Editor Love Canal residents continue to worry about the priceless harm to themselves and their children, while no one is sure where the estimated millions of dollars will come from to pay for the massive clean-up. To date. New York State has been forced to pay much of the cost. Reimbursement for purchasing the homes of relocated residents was refused by the Federal Disaster Assistance Administration—typifying the limited federal assistance that the Love Canal has received. It appears that for years to come, the extent of the liability of the Hooker Chemical and Plastics Corporation will remain unresolved. Hooker already faces over $2.5 billion in damages in lawsuits Tiled by Love Canal residents. Furthermore, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has announced its intentions to sue the chemical corporation for its dumping practices of toxic waster. Debated deed According to Hooker’s Vice President of Public Relations Bruce Davis, a caveat put in the deed of the land when it was sold to the Niagara Falls Board of Education clearly states that the school board will assume all for personal injuries or damaged property. Davis also noted that Hooker resisted the school board’s attempt to bury the land. He admits, however, the Board had no idea of the “specific chemicals in the Canal/’ adding that Hooker was also unaware. In a takeover bid by Hooker’s parent company (Occidental Petroleum Corp.) of another Corporation (the Mead Corporation), Mead’s lawyers felt it was unwise to be controlled by Occidental/with massive damages pending against Hooker. Mead’s lawyers rejected the proposed takeover, contending that Hooker has a detailed year by year account of the names and quantities of chemicals it dumped in the Love Canal. Hooker maintains that this is simply not true and that any record of these chemicals has been compiled only recently by reviewing past production and sates records. Mead claimed that Hooker’s disclosure of its possible risks was not enough to transfer liability to the school board. Since Occidental’s takeover bid was withdrawn, these arguments were never debated in court. Not applicable Furthermore, lawyers point out that the deed is restricted to an agreement between the school board and Hooker. Residents who were affected by the chemicals did not build their homes on the Love Canal site, but contiguous to it. Therefore, lawyers claim, the restriction does not apply to them. Though Hooker may not be liable under existing statutes, the corporation may be responsible under Common Law principles. Such principles include: —the principle of “strict liability” which states that anyone using dangerous substances such as explosives or chemicals may be liable for injuries regardless of safety precautions taken. The Mead documents also claim that under New York State law. Hooker may be liable as a creator of a “public nuisance” which “interferes with the enjoyment and usage of land.” Leak? One Mead memo charged that Hooker committd several “affirmative acts of negligence” for which it might be sued. They include: failure to properly enclose the dangerous chemicals in the dump; failure to The diagram from the special report Love CanaI Public Health Time Bomb illustrates the temporary State solution to the Love Canal crisis. The pipes leading from the basements of the abandoned homeson 97th and 99th and from the Love Canal itself (see center) will ferry the wastes to drainage titles several feet below the surface. The site will also have a clay cap built above ground to prevent rainwater from entering and causing the chemicals to overflow.

Davis claims that if Hooker had retained ownership of the land, it would have corrected the dangerss as soon as a problem was apparent. A crucial question in any lawsuit will be: If nothing were built on the dump site, then would chemicals have leaked into the environment? Hooker contends that a contractor excavating near the site scraped away part of a protective clay bubble, resulting in a chemical leak. Other sources insist that the chemicals have been seeping otit all along the underground conduits which lead to the Niagara River. There are presently no long-range proposals for containing and collecting the oozing chemicals if the current plan proves deficient—which many Love Canal residents suspect. Homeowners have complained that the pipes are loosely connected, resulting in more chemical seeepage. The residents believe the area will remain unsafe, and have collectively vowed “never to return.” The State intended to “temporarily relocate” many homeowners until the drainage system is completely installed. Others point out that even if the pipes are laid correctly, they may still not restrict chemical flow—because many chemicals are suspected to move below the drainage tiles. Thus, seepage into the Niagara River, local streams, and other homes continue to pose a threat to public health. The day cap may be another vulnerability, since such caps have deteriorated in the past—including the one laid by Hooker Chemical at the same canal site. Yet clay caps represent the best available “state of the art” procedure for reducing liquid flow. But since the Love Canal area is a geologic “leaky bathtub”, it is questionable whether the cap will be effective in both the short-run and long-run view. �Where to go? Love Canal Con tarn nated battles te of family vs. State : by Paul A. Maggiotto City Editor Only miles away from one of the seven wonders of the world, Love Canal stands as a horrifying contrast to one of nature’s most magnificent sights. While thousands of tourists flock daily to see the thunder of Niagara Falls, a few hundred families have been battling for over a year to get funds from the State to flee as far as possible from the worst toxic contamination of a community known today. Nestled away iif Niagara Falls, New York, less than 20 miles from UB, this 16-acre tract of land was once a growing, prospering neighborhood. Nothing grows here now but the fear of past and present residents that -their health will never be the same. Twenty-five years ago, Love Canal was sued as a waste dispoasl site by the Hooker Chemical and Plastics Corporation. In 1952, the Niagara Falls Board of Education wanted to buy the land for the construction of a school to accomodate the rising population. Hooker warned the school board about the chemicals and hesitated to sell the site, but the Board threatened condemnation proceedings (motions by which a municipality can force a land owner to sell his/her land) against the company if it would not sell. To avoid a lengthy court battle, Hooker deeded the land to the Board for one dollar under the stipulation it could not be held liable for any problem caused by the land’s former use. Chemical leak Twice, Hooker intervened when the School Board tried to build a school directly above the disposal site. Eventually, and still against Hooker’s advice, the school was built on the banks of the Canal and parts were sold to a private contractor who never developed it. However, all around the disposal site, houses were springing up. Hooker filled the Canal and covered ft with a clay cap designed, “using the best technology known at that time,” to seal in the toxic debris, hi the ensuing years, drums of chemicals began popping out of the ground. Acrid odors, discolored sidewalks, and grass that wouldn’t grow alerted residents that something was seriously wrong. Toxic chemicals were leaking out of the supposedly protected disposal site into the underground water system, contaminating the neighborhood. Early in the Spring of 1978, after increasing complaints of area residents, federal and state officials were brought in to ascertain the full extent of the contaimination of the health risks to area residents. Air samples were taken by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the New York State Department of Health’s Division of Laboratories and Research in and outside the homes contiguous to the Canal. Meanwhile, State Health Department medical investigators began a house-to-house health survey and blood sampling of residents for laboratory -> analyses. Health threat The EPA’s initial air sampling revealed levels of toxic chemicals (tuluene, chlorotuele and chloroform) in residents’ basements which indicated a serious health threat. High incidences of miscarriages, birth defects and abnormal liver conditions (all believed to be linked to the chemicals) were found in the residents of the first two rings of homes. On August 2, 1978 the State Halth Commissioner recommended the immediate relocation of pregnant woman and children under two years old. One week later, the State announced its decisions to evacuate all 236 families living in the first two rings. Their houses were boarded up and a chain link fence erected around the one-time neighborhood. During this time, the State was also formulating remedial construction plans which would consist of attempting to clean up the escaped chemicals and to prevent any further seepage. New York State bought the homes of the evacuated residents, giving them an opportunity to start a new life in a non-toxic environment. The Federal Disaster for the results of the State investigation. On February 8, 1979, the “outer ring” residents met with theState Health Commissioner, Dr. David Axelrod, on a night most will never forget. The Commissioner stated the incidences of miscarriages and birth defects of women living in "wet areas” (neighborhoods above underground streams which are believed to have carried the toxic chemicals) were twice as high as incidences in “dry” areas and also of a control group. Axelrod added, “We cannot say with certainly that the higher rates found in each of the categories are directly related to chemical exposure but the data does suggest a small but significant increase in the rash of miscarriages and birth defects.” were reached by an “outside panel of scientific experts behind closed doors." The residents were caught in a financial bind. None would be able to sell their homes without an unbearable financial loss or could afford to sustain another mortage on a new home. "So you’re trapped; you’re a prisoner,” said one resident at that time. At the February 8 meeting, the residents were told by Dr. Axelrod to use their basements as little as possible and not to grow a vegetable garden, they claim. Yet, the residents protested, he expected them to return to their homes. With the coming of spring and the thawing of the ground, the remedial construction was scheduled to begin. A “safety plan" was formulated to “temporary relocate" for 48 hours those individuals affected by the escape of chemicals from the excavation site. People with chronic respiratory problems were pre-identified for participation in the Plan. . Unbearable In June, however* . the Love Canal Homeowners Association and its President Lois Gibbs filed in State Supreme Court Justice Norman Stiller’s court, an injunction halt all construction until eva;ypi\e could be relocated. A compromise in that court battle decided that if within the 48 hours of temporary relocation, a resident cpuld obtain a doctor’s certificate refating a cause-effect relationship between the chemicals and a health problem, he could remain “relocated” for one week at the State’s expense. This certificate would have to be renewed weekly. As the fumes became unbearable this past summer, the red puffy eyes, and the chronic cough that residents had been experiencing all along intensified. No longer willing to subject themselves to the danger of these chemicals and the “torture” of living in Love Canal, over 135 families evacuated into area hotels under the safety plan and searched for doctors’ certificates to keep them out one week at a times The “hotel people”, as the area residents now call themselves, have vowed never to go back to their homes. Since leaving Love Canal, they report the remission of some physical symptoms. The disappearance of nosebleeds, coughs and red eyes from their children’s health strengthen homeowners’ convictions never to return. The remedial construction is expected to be completed by lateOctober or early November. At that time, the State will cut off funding for temporary relocation, expecting the residents to move back into their homes. The State’s present position is not to permanently relocate any more individuals unless new medical studies or findings point conclusively to the cause-effect relationship between living in Love Canal and poor health. The residents claim tRc Sta'tc is afraid of setting a precedent of permanently-relocating individuals from a contaminated ncighbrohood because there exists a strong possibility of future “Love Canals.” However, the State claims it already has set the precedent by permanently relocating the familiies in the first two rings. But one State official has pointed out'lhaHas the discussion centers on the “outer rings” of homes, the cost of permanent relocation “geometrically multiples.” The total cost of permanently relocating the families in the first two rings was in excess of $10 million. , * NEIGHBORHOOD TURNED NIGHTMARE: The homes on 97th end 99th Streets have been abandoned for almost a year now. These homes are adjacent to the underground dumpsitas for Hooker Chemical's toxic wastes. The chemicals have been leaching from the dumpsite, resulting in the evacuation of the homes. Assistance Administration refused to reimburse the State for these purchases causing a severe financial strain on the situation. Finding “no increased incidences of liver disease nor abnormal blood problems” in their study, the Health Department refused to recommend the evacuation of the total area but did recommend the temporary relocation of pregnant women and all children under the age of two. Though Axelrod said he had no evidence linking a problem with young children, he recommended this measure as a conservative safeguard. The State also promised to further study and monitor the chemicals in the event of further contamination. Reminder Those living less than 100 feet just outside the chain link fence, in the “outer ring” of the Love Canal, have b$en living with the nightmare of toxic contamination for the past year and a half—the abandoned homes of their one-time neighbors- serving as a constant reminder. Almost all have differing levels of chemicals in their basements or throughout the h6use. Surveys done by the Love Canal Homeowners Association showed increased levels (almost 45 percent above the norm) of birth defects and miscarriages within their area. Desperately wanting to move, the Homeowners found the State classifying their surveys as unprofessional. The State wanted to conduct their own before making any judgements on the necessity for evacuation. For six months, the Canal residents waited Bind The Love Canal residents were outraged. If the contamination were harmful for infants and pregnant women, it could not be good for anyone else. “Who would want to move back into this area with a child of any age, let alone one who just turned two years old?” they asked. They considered the present studies sufficient enough to warrant total State-funded relocation. Furthermore, the Health Department’s recommendations ‘ , Hooker on campus: Calling all chem engineers for jobs Tomorrow’s arrival of Hooker Chemical and Plastics Corporation recruiters to UB is certainly no unprecedented event. Like other companies, Hooker visits the campus every spring with hopes of mustering promising employees from the ranks of college seniors. Chemical companies like Hooker naturally look forst to a university strong in the health sciences for a major percentage of rookie employees. This year Hooker is sending four representatives here to interview prospective chemical engineering majors and MBA’s for prospective employment. “We’re looking for people who are at the top of their class,” related Hooker recruiting coordinator, Judy Behrman, who was hired by the company last year through an internship program with U.B. According to Chemical Engineering Professor, Michael Ryan, UB graduates between cfteroiofll .eijflinffiTS Spring. He maintained that a generous percentage of these graduates are from the Buffalo area and look to local companies such as Dupont, Union Carbide and Hooker ' Chemical for employment close to home. “I’d say that at least 2 or 3 UB graduates are hired by Hooker every year,” he asserted. Ryan also explained that in preparing students for graduation, the department devotes class time to discuss their ethical and professsional responsibilities as chemical engineers. “It’s not easy for us to access the policies of any particular companies, but we do offer students certain guidelines on ethics. It’s up to them to make the final decision of whether to sign on .with a company with any questionable philosophy,” he said. “But we don’t get up and preach about those companies we think are.” Looking for new blood Ryan also pointed out that college graduates are in fact should be able to make a decision of this type on their own merit. “However, interviews should be two-way streets. Graduates should ask an equal amount of questions concerning a company’s philosophy and about his or her role in the advancement of that philosophy” he stressed A check with placement offices at other area schools indicated that UB will be the only area stop on the nationwide Hooker Chemical recruiting tour. Hooker spokesman Jim Greene maintained that the company’s recruiters would visit at least 35 or 40 campuses in this Fall’s effort. The company is also actively selling its wares in trade and technical journals, many of which arc sent free of charge by the company to schools which the recruited don’t get to. Hooker Chemical currently employs over 11,000 workers nationwide and Behrman insists that its college recruitment program is one of the company’s more successful ways of supplying new blood. “I think UB is one of the better schools for new talent in our company,” said Behrman. “They wouldn’t bother coming to campus unless they’ve had a good response past,” admitted UB Career Placement officer, Maryanne Stegmeier. — Jon-Michael GTionna I 1 I. �to i CL UB gears up for Winter's rage with snowblowers,piles of salt With memories of the Blizzard of ’77 still vivid, the Office of the Physical Plant must once again prepare for a Buffalo winter. Physical Plant workers are stockpiling road salt, training crews for snow removal, and recruiting students to assist in cleaning snow from around dormitories. According to the National Weather Service, there is "no proven scientific method for predicting snowfall a season in advance.” The mean level for a winter in Buffalo is about 88 inches, but in this century it has ranged from 25 to 200 inches per season with a seven year stretch of over 100 inches. Roughly 130 inches were dumped on Buffalo last year. Consequently, plans for snow removal at UB have been left out in the cold. Assistant to the Director of the Main Street Physical Plant Charles Sonntag said, “Hopefully, it (winter) will be like last year, not like the year of the Blizzard. But there’s no way to tell.” So the University is preparing for the worst. With an average of 170 tons of salt used annually—120 tons on Main Street and SO tons on Amherst—stockpiling has already begun. According to the Director of the Amherst Physical Plant Dean H. Fredericks, a salt supply for several months’ use is ready to pour. Sonntag said 16 tons are on hand for the Main Street Campus. Student kelp In addition to the salt, the University is ready with over 40 pieces of snow removal equipment, ranging from truck-mounted snowblowers to plow-equipped jeeps. Fredericks said his office would “shortly start training the newer men on the equipment.” Sonntag added, “One night we’ll have the whole crew in, running thejr routes in a training drill.” The janitorial staff is responsible for clearing the building entrances, although this year they’ll be assisted by students. Sonntag said it was an experimental plan tried a year or two ago and proved effective. “What we do is assign them an area and give them a shovel and possibly an ice scraper and they’re UB strikes curtail dormitory to vandalism $14,000 vandalism A escapade at SUNY Stony Brook responsible for that area,” he explained. While maintenance is reponsible for clearing the roads and parking lots, the Department of Public Safety must answer questions regarding campus conditions.'A telephone recording describing the road and parking lot conditions on both campuses was instituted last year. Besides its regular cars. Public Safety has three fourwheel drive vehicles and two snowmobiles. Assistant Director Jack Eggert said, “If people might be stranded in cars, we send the snowmobiles out to check on them. And if there’s anyone in them, we obviously get them the hell out of there.” —James Manning Minority Law Weekend The UB Law School’s Black American Law Students Association will present a Minority Law Weekend on Oct. 26 and 27 at the BUILD Town Hall and at Amherst Campus.

Stony Brook student government officials are haggling with the University Administration on its relocation of 45 students during the vandalism spree last semester, calling the action “arbitrary and capricious”. Many of the relocated dorm residents maintain they had nothing to do with the destruction and resent having been displaced and inconvenienced. The case advanced as far as the State Supreme Court where an injunction filed by the student government to stop the relocation was denied. The debate, according to the school’s newspaper The Statesman, is presently at a stalemate—the students are still bothered by the action but are not presently sure what their next step will be. ■ UB Housing Director Madison Boyce maintained that a similar siturrion could not happen at this University.

Often when damages are attributed to a large group i (a party for example) everyone in the group is charged. This causes a lot of hostility, Metzeger said, since many members may not have been directly involved. At UB, the occupants of a room sign a statement claiming responsibility for any damages that occur there during the year. This policy tends to make most people act more responsible for their rooms, students believe. Another way UB helps keep dorm damages to a minimum, Boyce said, is the way the Housing Office handles fines. When a student is found guilty of damages, he or she is not fined through the Housing Office, but through their student account.

The complete revamping of the charter is due to a referendum passed by the student body last semester. The Constitution Committee—consisting mainly of past and present SA officials, although open to all students—has met consistently since the beginning of the summer, and has devised tentative changes for both the legislative and executive branches of student government. The SA Senate—home of repeated bickering and continuous debate -last year—will undergo a complete overhaul. Previously chosen from specific SA organizations as well as directly elected, senators will now be chosen from organizations as well as directly elected, voting districts. Consisting of 40—50 representatives, the Senate will also have a new committee system. The establishment of these voting districts has been partially completed. Dormitory arenas will compromise roughly 20 seats in the Senate, with the remainder drawn from off-campus locations. The dormitories have been separated into four areas—Main Street, Governors’, Ellicott East and positions of Director of Academic Affairs, Student Affairs, and Student Activities. Previously elected by the student Ellicott South. Zip code zones will be used in forming outside districts. According to committee member Bob Lombardi, the use of geographic boundaries in electing senators will cut down on the internal fighting which existed last year. “When the individual clubs elected representatives, there was the problem of one club going against the other,” he said. "Now, no one club can take control of the Senate. That’s a major body—along with the President,Vice President and Treasurer—the three Director positions will now be appointed by the President, and voted upon by the Senate. An added feature of the new Constitution calls for the creation of an Emergency Powers Board (EPB). Consisting of the SA President, Vice President, Senate Speaker, Tresurer, and another senator, the EPB “will consider legislation which cannot be delayed until the Senate can convene.” The President will only have voting privileges in case of a tie. Committee member Bob Lowry is pleased with the progress, but expressed concern over the Committee’s resistance to any “radical changes.” He had proposed that any student compiling 40 signatures on a petition become a senator, but this was rejected. “Student government must advocate student interests, and I think this requires more radical changes,” he remarked. David Hoffman, who called for the revamping of the Senate last year and collected petitions mandating the referendum, indicatd that committee progress “is going fairly slow” but should be completed by the November 30 deadline. An avid member of the Constitution Committee, Hoffman said, “We want to reduce some problems that existed last year. 1 think we’re accomplishing that.” step.” Executive changes Both the Rules and Finance Committees have been established, with basically the same responsibilities entrusted to existing committees. The Finance Committee "will propose a budget, establish financial priorities, and evaluate the spending practices of organizations receiving SA money,” according to a tentative list of revisions by the Constitution Committee. The same document describes the Rules Committee as having the “power to amend legislation” and “make recommendations to the Senate regarding the legality, clarity and merits of proposed amendments to the Constitution or By-laws.” Other committees are in the process of being formed, along with an over-all committee system. The significant change in the Execuive branch, concerns the Admission chances improve for medical, dental and law schools by Scott Swick Staff Writer Spectrum The hopes of undergraduate students vying for a limited number of spaces in medical, law and dental schools nationally have been strengthened as a trend begun in 1974 towards the decline in professional school applications is continuing. Figures for UB Schools of Law and Dentistry—which reflect national trends—indicate that chances for acceptance have increased slightly, although admission is still highly Medicine, competitive. This academic year, a total of 3,546 applications were received by the UB School of Medicine. Of this, 20 percent were considered to possess medical school qualities, and advanced to the interviewing stage. According to UB Medical School coordinator Phyllis Blazer, grade point average is an important indication of a person’s academic ability, but the interview stresses the strong “human” traits a physician must have. From the interviewing process, 135 freshman openings are filled The greatest number of applications to UB’s School of Medicine, came in 1974-75, when 5,317 prospective students applied. Of these, only 12 percent were interviewed, and then the 135 openings were assigned. 1974 was also the peak year for national applications, with 42,624 received at Medical Schools across the . country. According to Blazer, “the current number of medical, school applications is leveling off.” Further evidence indicates that 1977-78 marked the first substantial decline in the last quarter century, YOU PAY A LITTLE MORE FOR OUR CONTACT LENSES. BUT WITH OUR QUALITY EYE CARE YOU’LL SEE THE DIFFERENCE! as a total of 40,569 applications were filed. The estimated national total for the 1978-79 school year is projected to set a record low of 36,600. Concurrent with the decrease of applications in past years is the opening of six new medical schools during 1977-78 adding 211 first year openings. This ultimately raised the national acceptance rate from 37 percent in 1976-77, to 39 percent in 1977-78. Two years ago, the total number of registered medical students nationally was 15,493, With roughly 25 percent women. In fact, women accounted for 30 percent of entering freshman in 34 schools studied, mainly in the northeast. UB Law School reports that 1,428 applications were received for the 1978-79 academic year. From this amount. 850 students were interviewed and 293 achieved freshman law school status. As of October 1, 1979, a total of 811 students were enrolled in the Law School. Although the number of applications dropped by roughly has 300, actual increased by 33 first year spots. According to Assistant Law Dean Charles Walin, national application totals have also taken a slight nose dive. “It might even be higher, but roughly the trend was down 10 percent,” he said. Walin pointed to the possible 1 or Expires Dec Perhaps the most dramatic occurrence in the legal profession, Walin indicated, is the emergence of women.

They want to tell the chemical company responsible for contaminating Love Canal that UB wants better neighbors, ones who don't destroy our environment and communities, and then ppssively watch as families are forced to relocate, children are told to play indoors, and toxic chemicals leach into-the ground. A coalition of student groups—campus newspapers, NYPIRG and Tolstoy College—planned to Jacket tomorrow in front of Hayes Annex C (where the Career Placement office is located) on Main Street Campus. Hooker representatives will be inside the building in an effort to recruit students for employment. But the student protest is aimed at Hooker and its atrocities, not at students who may want to work for that company. We cannot hold all chemical engineers responsible for the management of a few uncaring Individuals. In addition to the picketing, organizers are expecting four speakers from the Love Canal Homeowner’s Association to explain their views of Hooker's destruction—and how the chemical company has Jailed to remedy its actions. Since the anti-Hooker coalition is comprised of groups and individuals, not everyone's goal is Identical. But four basic points have been agreed practice upon: —Organizers will attempt to persuade Hooker to aid the Love Canal residents, and to clban up all other dumpsites; be it by paying medical costs or halting similar dumping pratices elsewhere. Hooker's visit to campus is a good opportunity for UB to focus its attention on this neighboring company> and to let the Love Canal residents know that students are concerned and willing to help; —Organizers want to emphasize that corporations should place human needs above profit motives on all levels. In addition, organizers believe that corporation officials, such as Hooker’s President, should be held personally accountable for their corporation's actions; —Organizers believe that letters should be sent to Governor Hugh L. Carey requesting the State to pick up the relocation tab for Love Canal residents. By the time Hooker's case gets through the courts, then the Love Canal residents—if they stay where they are now—will have been exposed to much greater quantities of lethal chemicals. Organizers plan to have stationery, envelopes, and stamps available in Squire Hall’s Haas Lounge, so you can express your concern to Carey; Laws should be strengthened so that the taxpayers are not forced to bear the cost of a company’s cruelty. Polluters should pay the price for their pollution. Although the Sfate should Intervene now—because each day residents stay in the Love Canal, they are further jeopardizing their health—polluters cannot be allowed to ignore their moral responsibilities. By supporting stricter pollution laws, corporations will be more hesitant to destroy communities in the future. A few of the more gruesome facts about the Love Canal: —An Environmental Protection Agency air sampling in Spring, 1978, revealed that levels of toxic chemicals in residents’ basements indicated a serious health threat; High incidences of miscarriages, birth defects and abnormal liver conditions were found in the residents of the first two rings of homes; —On August 2, 1978, the State Commissioner of Health recommended the immediate relocation of pregnant women and children under two years of age; —One week later, the State announced Its decision to evacuate 236 families In the first two rings; —Chemicals located In the Love Canal site range from benzene to chloroform; acute effects of some of the chemicals range from skin Irritation to liver damage; chronic effects of some of the chemicals range from leukemia to respiratory and cardiac arrest. Exclusive of the contributions that individual faculty members have made towards resolving some of the Love Canal’s pressing questions, the University has remained virtually unlnvolved. Last year, a Love Canal Task Force folded here just two months after it was formed, basically contributing no help whatsoever to the residents of the Love Canal. We must demonstrate that this University is concerned with problems outside of its own environment. We cannot allow the University's Love Canal Task Force to serve as the major reminder of US’s involvement. We should rekindle our concern as individuals, starting Tuesday In our own back yard.

That’s what October 3rd’s article about Syracuse University’s football game here at Rich Stadium was. This piece was obviously written by someone looking for anything to “put down" and with no intention of trying to enjoy the game. David Davidson might well have simply wrote “I hbte you Syracuse University for getting a dome and your mother wears army boots.” Both say about the same thing. Here are just some of Dave’s gripes about Saturday’s game: —Lack of size of football players. (In comparison to U.B.'s team) Ever hear of quickness? (No disrespect intended toward’s Bulls) —No students. Well, there were a lot of 20 and 21 year old “business executives, doctors, lawyers and engineers” in my section. Maybe you should have come of the press box. They didn’t provide free refreshments in the press box like the Bills did. — — Thanks! Good point. —Judging the caliber of play by the kicker in pregame practice. I guess you were eating when he made his 37 yard field goal. —Running up the score. Dave, there is this thing called “ranking” and you don't get “ranked” by keeping the score close over 1-3 teams. You mention "a Division 1 team —supposedly well-primed after’ months of practice fumble and throw interceptions." Gee Dave, you must have been at the wrong game, because this game had only one fumble and no interceptions. Dave, you might as well have stayed home and slept late and wrote the article when you woke up. — — Joe Weinman As a postscript I’d like to say I think it’s time people stopped blaming Syracuse for getting a dome (while this university lacks such facilities) and blame the people in charge of this injustice—the people in Albany.

It is this type of support that can keep a diverse music program flowing all thru the academic year. Also, apologies are in order for the difficulties with the lighting system that UUAB rented for the show. This problem caused the show to get off to a late start and stage lights could not be used for the concert. I would hope out to that the house lights being on during the concert did not cause too much of an inconvenience for the audience. However, the house lights, to a certain extent, did provide an atmosphere condusive to the dancing that the B-52’s pride themselves on.

He, after being warmed by a beard for years, wanted to shave its roughness off. I, after enjoying clear vision for most of my life, only behind thick lenses and a plastic bridge resting on my nose, wanted to store them away in their case forever. Winters of discontent may require some change of face. The long grey Buffalo winters stretch into April as if they were being poured into the month from a bottomless pitcher. Two years ago, I lived on the fifth floor of Red Jacket Quad in Ellicott. From our wide windows that adorn only the dorms' corner rooms, my roommates and I watched the sky daily from February on—waiting for a lapse in the stillness hung like stretched canvas, waiting for that patch of blue. We drank hot teas flavored and scented—enticingly labeled “orange Spice” and “ceylon breakfast;” the beverages broke the greyness by sips. The world could not be too far removed if we could still indulge in afternoon and evening tea. When she wasn’t taking notes on gross anatomy or reading texts on "predictable crises in human life” or “the many ways of loving,” Helen would sew quilts. Bright splashes of reds, blues, yellows and greens came tumbling off her lap in cotton patches as she carefully stitched to the tunes on the AM radio. Katy, her calculator and chemistry labs dropped onto the red furry bedspread the rest of us secretly marveled at, sent messages through telephone lines stretching across the city and wrote letters in French on pretty stationery. Birthday cakes were in constant hiding behind her closet door. As the sun grew more and more shy, she sighed. I read novels, made sure to get through my copy of the New York Times every night before going to bed like every good concerned New York intellectual, wrote letters in English and jibberish, dabbled in film criticism, dabbled in theater criticism, recorded thoughts and made neat notations of the day’s events in my little memo pad I haven’t-changed. These are still skins that have yet to be shed. We got through that winter with our talismans of tea, quilts, music and words. We warded off the gloom. Two years later, these old charms are not enough: they just help to pass the time. And the time is waning. Ways to live through winter in this city ... that I must confess I still do not understand well enough after four years to acknowledge as my second home .. .

At the same time, however, several of his arguments and assumptions bear scrutiny, partly -for the questions he does not answer, and partly for the unrebuttable ("You are insensitive and visionless”) merely gets us into fruitless namecalling of the “I am not. You are so" variety, let me concentrate on the unanswered questions. 1. Who is defending the status quo? Nowhere have I, for one, argued that the (apparently) prevailing student view of an undergraduate education as exclusively a vehicle for vocational preparation is something to be desired or encouraged. As it happens, I do take a “consumerist” view of education, but not In the sense that Mr. Rosen means. Much of undergraduate education should be a form of consumption (as opposed to investment), in which students consume knowledge, enrichment, and just plain enjoyment. I do not encourage students to major in Management, nor do I encourage them, once they are in our program, to take any, more courses than they have to. But,' as Mr. Rosen observes, the shift in student interest is real. If that is the status quo to which he refers, I submit that to recognize it is not to defend it. 2. What is the evidence that the “trade-school mentality" is the driving force in Capen Hall? As I and others have tried to point out, obviously with less than complete success, this University has not come close to shifting its resources away from the humanities jn any measure commensurate with the shift in student interests. It has for years,- in the apparent hope that the movement to the professional schools would prove transient, (strained from transferring resources to accommodate that movement. Arts and Letters, says Mr. Rosen, contends that the Administration is using the enrollment crisis to mask its philosophical preference for vocational training. Then why, I ask, did not this technocratic bent manifest itself earlier? Why, when the University was still expanding, were the humanities allowed to hire faculty which could have been assigned to the professional schools? Why, more recently, has the Administration refrained from allowing the School of Management and.similar units to grow at least in proportion to., their increased burden? Understand, please, I’m not writing to quarrel about these decisions, I'm merely asking how they reflect a trade school mentality. 3. What, In Mr. Rosen’s eyes, would constitute ‘‘actual leadership” under the>present circumstances? He -gives us two specifics; encourage, directionless freshmen to explore other majors, and “question" the narrow interests of students. Fair enough. But does Mr. Rosen really think that the failure to do these things wholly or even substantially accounts for the trends that have been building for some time? Does he really think that these trends are unique to Buffalo? If they are attributable to a failure of leadership, then that failure is much broader than he imagines. Mr. Rosen also makes the ironic observation that the Administration has encouraged “commodity treatment” of students. It is ironic because if students are treated like commodities anywhere, it is in the professional schools like Management where students are packed into upper level courses like sardines to be taught by harried instructors who cannot hope to learn all their names. 4. Why do Mr. Rosen and others continue to make reference to the Administration and its infamous ratios? They are not its ratios, for God’s sake. We ignore them at our peril. This is not, Mr. Rosen, “life and death Invective,” it is a fact of life. It is entirely appropriate for some units to “carry” other units in a University, but the subsidy cannot be limitless. It is entirely appropriate for you to insist on maintaining units which are fundamental to a University, but not necessarily to persist in maintaining them at their current levels. If anyone can show that those levels are now less than optimal, let him or her come forth. The scenario we face right now may be discomforting, but it cannot be mistaken. If we continue to ignore those obscene and mindless numbers, we will all suffer. Neither Arts and Letters nor Mr. Rosen can be afforded the luxury of simply railing against a lack of vision. They must guide us to that vision in such a way that all the pieces, including the budgetary ones, fit together. I readily admit that I don’t have the vision to see how we can put it all together without (at least) a short term reallocation of resources, but then I’m only a Philistine. If someone else is convinced that our leaders don’t have the vision either, then it’s time to help them find it and stop the mane-calling. Howard G. Foster Associate Dean School of Management ! Siggelkow responds To the Editor: I read your two-part October 10 editorial with great Interest, but remain somewhat uncertain about the intent of the second portion, "Spent Unwisely." Was it to criticize the original Attrition/Retention Study Group report of June 15, 1979, which has not as yet been printed by The Spectrum, although that complete document was in the editor's hands since June 25, four months ago? Meanwhile, prioritized findings,' compiled from the same report, "in order of importance or feasibility,” also not seen in print to date, were forwarded to The Spectrum on August 3, 1979, over two months ago. If the purpose was to criticize "Siggelkow’s Committee,” the author of this response is only one of 10 equal voting members of the broadly representative group, which meets monthly undekr a rotating chairperson system. Full membership includes: Joyce Finn (Graduate Student) Gerald Rising (Faculty) Terri Hall (Undergraduate Student) Dana Cowen (Minority Student) Angie Janetakos (Millard Fillmore College Student) Thomas Knight (Inter-Residence Council) Merle Hoyte (Professional Staff Senate) Gunawan Suliawan (Foreign Student) Richard Siggelkow (Student Affairs) FSA President (to be elected) If the intent was to express concern over having “spent all but $3100” of the initially allocated $25,000, the Committee might at least be credited with trying to effect positive change during its already relatively long four month existence. Accurately reported was a major commitment of $10,400 to purchase winter sports equipment for student use, but the editorial omits several related and important details. The project involves rental of such items as cross-county skis and snow shoes at reasonable rates for student use on this campus; anticipated profits from this “seed money” will hopefully return both the initial investment and provide future resources for futher re-allocations—all in all, a responsible position lot any committee to take. Although many of us would prefer emphasizing such outdoor physical activities, a second major * grant of $7500 was designed for a needed educational to program acquaint students —through student to student contact—with the hazards to physical and mental health that accompany the overindulgence of alcoholic beverages. The first project, then, is a modest attempt to ameliorate the negative impact of an infamous winter climate. The second addresses a significant problem area. The two jointly account for $17,900 of the $21,900 expended thus far, and relate directly to original Attrition/Retention Study Group findings. Incidentally, Undergraduate*- Student Association President Joel Mayersohn—in a related news item—complains about these expenditures, although not one cent of this year's approximately $900,000 (!) Student Association budget is involved in these transactions. Furthermore, the UGSA had earlier informally indicated an interest in the Alcohol Education Project, expressing a willingness to contribute something like $1000 to that effort. That amount of the original monies could then have been returned to the FSA funded group for other activities related to the general welfare. Meanwhile, University-wide involvement has been encouraged. All meetings are open, reporters have been routinely invited to attend, minutes are sent to The Spectrum and The Reporter prior to future meeting dates, and all interested individuals submit written proposals, and appear in person to represent their projects. In order to allow time for reflection, present policy is to delay formal action for one month between meetings before reaching final group consensus about any proposal. (Note also, that the committee itself might be faulted for not initiating ideas from within its own membership.) While I hope this information has been helpful, this is purely a personal reaction at this point. I am entirely willingjo assume my full share of individual responsibility for all past actions, fully recognizing that some person or group will understandably and inevitably be disappointed by decisions involving available grants from any limited financial resource. I am certain that the full membership will continue to do its best, welcoming any and all publicity, favorable or not, about present and future committee actions. Richard A. Siggelkow Give Siggelkow a break To the Editor: The discussion about how the $25,000 F.S.A. grant was spent by the Attrition/Retention committee has me somewhat baffled. I personally don’t feel that the gaoney was spent all that badly. Let me explain on a program by program basis. The signs in Ellicott will do a great deal toward humanizing Its existance especially for its foreign residents who are having enough trouble understanding what’s going on already without being given the added burden of Ellicott. Running a par course might bet me out exercising. Alcohol abuse is a very large problem particularly on Amherst. The vandalism rate is directly related to the amount of alcohol consumed in the pub. Finally the development of the Amherst Campus as a recreational area will be very important step in the preservation of what is left of it and in the creation of a university community maintained area on campus. I can’t express to you the importance of activities like these, for these will be operated by and for the people who use them. Us, students and faculty and professional staff and civil servants and administrators. How many campus groups can make a claim like this? I can think of two. Of all the arguments tathe spending, only the Antirape Task Force Rape Van is really meaningful. Rape of women is a horrifying problem oh campus which must t>e prevented. The fact that women are being raped on campus points out broad inadequancies ii* the University Security System here wh+cb s spends overwhelming amounts of money to apparently provide only sufvellence of people on tsampus. The Escort Service will go a long way toward preventing rape! What is wrong with this University that it is forcing women to pay for rape protection through student mandatory fees? We should be furious about this obvious disregard by the University of our rights! Two points need to be brought up in closing. First we cannot forget that the $25,000 that F.S.A. made available for these projects represents only around 8 percent of the total money that was made by the sale of the bookstore after taxes. F.S.A. stands for Faculty Student Association and I pity anyone who thinks that no more money is going to be spent by the student contingent. And secondly maybe the Attrition/Retention Committee did not prioritize the plan because it did not feel that it could at that time. More importantly who says that the committee should be the one to do it. The decision must be made by all of us. Maybe we should have a campus wide referendum in which the respondent would rate the 101 suggestions. I’m not sure what it will take but I certainly want to get into the action. Charles S. Schwartz Classics ally? To the Editor: feel I must reply briefly to Dean Alutto’s letter Wednesday's The Spectrum. Other departments in Arts and Letters may Speak for themselves, but I was somewhat puzzled by his apparent assumption that a department in the humanities would fail the test he devised to determine whether it “is either vocational or at the academic core.” Let me assure him that in the Classics department all undergraduate courses and sections are open to non majors as well as majors and no priority is given to majors. Further, 70-80 percent of all our undergraduate in I courses and sections have always been taught by full-time faculty members regardless of the student mix expected in any specific course. Since we apparently score 100 percent in his test I assume he would agree that Classics "must be supported at all levels ensuring vi-**"ity regardless of current student preferences for majoring in that area." Of course the criterion of judgment Dean Alutto employs may be questioned, but I am nevertheless glad to welcome him as an ally. Sincerely, Thomas C. Barry Director Undergraduate Studies, Classics �feedback | £ Film foul-up V To the Editor: As a dorm resident at this University, I was quite upset at an event which occurred, or should I say did not occur, this past Sunday night. It was advertised that IRC was to show their movie of the week, Clockwork Orange, at Governor’s Complex at 8 pm on Sunday night. Many students showed up to see this movie only to discover after some-time that the movie was not going to be shown. It is not the first time that thi? has happened. What kind of respect does IRC expect to get from the students when they appear to us to be an unreliable organization? For the information of the IRC. officers or whoever was responsible, the turn out of students for the movie was extremely good. Lack of student support should not be an excuse this time, but I should not expect the next scheduled event to be so well responded to. I personally will think twice when reading my next IRC notice. The least IRC could have done was to send an official representative to Governor’s to announce the cancellation of the movie, and maybe an explanation. Also noted should be the fact that nobody could be contactedWiat night concerning the showing of the movie. As for you, the students who showed up to see the movie, I am surprised that nobody else has responded about this. You seemed to show quite a bit of concert) when you turned over some of those chalrS and used your language so liberally. Maybe some of us should consider channeling our energies where they will do more good. It only takes ten minutes to make a phone call or write a letter. In conclusion, I would like to remind everyone thart the students are the ones who elect these IRC officers, and it is the student’s money that goes Into these events.

Xerox 355 Squire Hell 8:30 a m.—6 p.m. XEROX. » an affirmative action employer (male/fcmale) Sincerely, Debbie Knapp Protect rights To The Editor: I would like to call the attention of the U.B. community the fact that the University of Buffalo Rights of Conscience Group will have a display fable in Squire Hall on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday October 15, 16, and 17. Besides having information about the issue of the mandator/payment for abortion coverage in the U.B. student health insurance plan, we will have letters available for people to sign which will be sent to the Soviet Embassy in Washington, D.C. on behalf of two prisoners of cqnscience in the U.S.S.R. These two persons are Sergei A. Kovalyov and, |Aarian Tiemkin. Kovalyov 1s a prominent BuSSian biologist who has been imprisoned for his efforts on behalf of human rights and reJIgious freedom for Lithuanian Catholics. Amnesty International has been working vigorously for his release. Marina Tiemkin is a young Jewish woman who has been denied the opportunity to emigrate to Israel to join her father there. She spent time in a Soviet “re-education" camp to break the spirit of her religious faith and has been under continuous surveillance and harassment by the state. The Student Struggle for Soviet Jewry has been working on hgr behalf. The U.B. rttphis of Conscience Group is acting on behalf of these two indivuals for the same, reason that we are working to end the mandatory payment for abortion coverage in the student health insurance: because their plight represents an attempt to suppress their deeply-held religious and moral beliefs. It is religious freedom which has historically been the most fundamental expression of the rights of conscience. We urge all persons at U.B. to stop at our table and sign letters in support of these prisoners of conscience.

The lopsided final dampened UB running back Mark Maier’s setting a school record of 34 carries—eclipsing the previous mark of 20—and 94 yards. The win raised Albany’s log to 4-0, while dropping the Bulls to 3-3. A large Homecoming Day crowd of nearly 3000 watched the GreatDanes’ triple option dodge, fake, squirm and slip for large chunks of ground, breaking open a close game with three unanswered touchdowns in the fourth quarter. whichever back seemed to be in better position for a gain, or, as was frequently the case, lie would simply tear through the UB defenders who had opted to guard the backs. “It was embarrassing getting beat by so much,” admitted UB’s Gary Brown. “They just ran all over us.” � “They have a patient type of offense,” said a downcast UB coach Bill Dando following the crushing defeat. "They just sit and wait until they get a couple of blocks and they’re off. One quick move one way or the other and (the running back) is ... ‘«rry W«l«h triw to br—k away His 122 yards ted Albany 's romp gone.” The intricate offensive play produced an unusual number of Albany fumbles—a total of seven. But although UB recovered six of these, including four by defensive end John White, the Bulls failed to muster a sustained drive against the Great Danes’ unrelenting defense. four by employing quick sprints up the middle or long accelerated drives around the tackle and down the sidelines. UB’s Steve Pawluk converted his sixth field of the goal season—a 22-yarder—to put the Bulls ahead 3-0 early in the second period. Wasted chance Stalled attack Lofts one over the defensive tackle White then gave Rodriguez a golden opportunity for his squad to grab a sizeable lead, recovering a fumble at the Albany 16. But the Bulls’ quarterback fumbled the opportunity by throwing an end zone spiral into the waiting arms of Bruce Collins, the Danes’ safety. From the 20, Albany advanced as far as their own 40-yard line, where the hosts again turned it over. More Maier footwork and a timely 23-yard toss from Rodriguez to tight end Kevin Pratt moved UB to the Danes’ 13-yard line. Unable to move further, Pawluk was called on to try for a 30-yard field goal. The following play turned the game around. Albany linebacker Don Hyde blocked Pawluk’s boot, then chased the ball to UB’s 45-yard line. Two plays later—after Walsh had found Bruce Dey, his tight end, open for a 30-yard gain—the Albany signal-caller faked a handoff and ran 14 yards for six points. Walsh’s unit tailed again with approximately one minute left in the half. The Danes’ Daryl Haynor picked up a} Maier fumble at the UB 44, and one play later Albany’s Jack Burger took his first carry all the way, first using the right sidelines and then cutting inside at full flight. “I don’t know what happened to the offense,” Dando reflected in a hushed tone. “We couldn’t take advantage of the breaks. We got the ball in good position (from the fumble recoveries), but then couldn’t move the ball.” “We should’ve put up a couple of touchdowns in the first half,” UB quarterback Jim Rodriguez admitted after completing only eight of 21 pass attempts in the contest. “Usually we’re a good second half team, but we didn’t do anything right.” “We were in it in the first half, we thought we were going to win,” revealed an obviously shaken Paul McCarthy, UB’s right cornerback. “Then it was like a shock I don’t know We had the defense that could stop them. But we would break down and there was no one to help out.” The Bulls' second half ineffectiveness enabled Albany to outgain the UB offense by a six-to-one margin in total yards. Even Maier, who had provided the Bulls with their only consistent offensive thrt, was saddled in the second half. But Maier was primarily responsible for the Bulls’ first score in the game. His 50-plus yards moved Buffalo from its own 29-yard line to the Albany ... “It’s a high risk offense,” pointed out UB’s dejected defensive end Jack Dunbar. “But when it works you can see what happens.” The Danes’ attack was masterfully operated by quarterback Terry Walsh—who advanced the pigskin himself 16 times for 122 yards. He relied heavily, and successfully, on a sophisticated and sometimes mesmerizing option play. Breaking off the line with two backs, Walsh would read the defensive assignments—and either pitch the ball off to —Alan Krlm ... The extra point attempt was missed again, and the half ran out with the home team ahead, 12-3. Another Albany miscue provided Buffalo with second half momentum. After UB's Bob Costanzo fell on a Walsh fumble at the Danes’ 16-yard line, Pawluk nailed a 30-yflrd field goal, and drew the visitors within 12-6. Walsh atoned for his mistake on the next Albany possession, taking a keeper 49 yards around his left tackle for a Danes score. Sam Halistion ran in the twopoint conversion for a third quarter 20-6 Albany edge. UB was literally handed a touchdown early in the fourth quarter, as White made an alert recovery of Albany backup quarterback Mike Fiorito’s costly fumble at his own oneyard line. It took Maier one try to run it in, but one attempt was not Assoc, accepted in the Undergrad English Office, 303 Clemens, Oct. 17-19.

Representatives to plenary dept, meetings will be submitted to the chairman of the English Dept. Walsh expertly used his next drive to put the game away. His runs of 13, 25 and six yards moved his unit to the UB 17-yard line. On his shortest run Walsh lost the ball, but the official ruled he had been downed before he had fumbled, despite the Buffalo arguments to the contrary. Burger, who would finish with 84 rushing yards, powered ahead to the Bulls’ seven, from where Walsh sprinted to the right and around the defense for a 27-12 lead with 10:49 left. Halistion put Albany's oneplay offense into high gear with a late 71-yard touchdown run up the middle. Halistion would end up one yard short of 100, but his long gallop was more than enough to ruin UB’s hopes of coming back. BUFFALO StATE S.U.B.

Many government officials arc especially concerned over chemical intrusion into municipal and agricultural water supplies. Hooker illegally by Marc Sherman Environmental Editor N » a. Hooker's . waste reaches beyond the Love Canal " dumped carcinogenic chemicals into three Long island landfills, , Hooker Chemical and Plastics Corporation has illegally dumped Jqqs of toxic chemicals throughout the natibn, according to Hooker’s own contaminating underground water—Long Island’s exclusive water source. “We’ve had to close wells every week,” attorney William Fleming of the documents. Known in Western New York for contaminating the infamous Love Canal, Hooker’s chemical wastes have seeped into essential cater New York State Deparment of Environmental Conservation (DEC) tole supplies, endangering humans and wildlife in California, Michigan, The Spectrum. Fleming estimated that about 100 wells have been closed in Florida, and Long island. tl)c past ten years due to chemical seepage. The DEC recently charged Texas Congressman Bob Eckhardt obtained the company documents Hooker with 420 violations of illegal chemical dumping on Long Island. Similar chemical leaching occurred at Lathrop, California, where during a recent Federal investigation. An Eckhardt staff aide, who asked drinking and agricultural wells were destroyed by illegal discharges of not to be identified, told The Spectrum, “Chemical dumping has become a major national concern. It poses the most significant health threat in the Analysis past decade.” The aide pointed out Hooker’s national “cover-up activities”—deliberately misinformingxthe public of harmful chemical seepage into the environment—as in the Love Canal case. pesticides, fertilizer, and nitrates. Hooker engineers pleaded with top The Love Canal fiasco precipitated national attention on many aspects management to secure leaking landfills and ..lean up the oozing wastes. THIS IS A TIME of the chemical industry—its burgeoning role in manufacturing chemical “We are slowly contaminating all wells in our area products; its precarious method of waste disposal; the dangerous health BOMB WE MUST DE-FUSE,” the chief engineer wrote to Hooker effects from toxic wastes; withholding vital information about its authorities. The same -engineer, however, advised withholding information from operations; and facing possible criminal penalties to deter illegal chemical dumping. Hooker is a subsidiary of Occidental Petroleum, a powerful oil local government agencies, fearing severe penalties and possible plant shutdowns. He added the company pould save over $20,000 by recycling certain wastes instead of illegally dumping them. Hooker took correctgive action by hauling some waste water to a state-iicensed facility, but refused to line the deteriorating landfills, which the engineers had emphasized was a clear violation of California laws. . . . Criminal prosecution? Several states are considering harsher penalties for illegal chemical dumping, which may be a large proportion of the total waste diaposal. Culpable corporations traditionally pay civil Tines which are “easily absorbed” by multi-million dollar companies, according to Eckhardt’s aide. Fleming complained that fines in New York State go to the general State fund, instead ofconservation agencies which need more financing for adequate law enforcement.f These state agencies have recommended to their respective attorney generals that corporate executives be indicted on felony charges to deter further illegal activity. This attempt to criminally prosecute executives “is definitely the trend in order to assure the state would have much recourse,” said Eckhardt’s aid. “Civil fines are just a slap on the wrist for a large company—there has to be a stricter law enforcement,” he concurred with Fleming. The aide noted that even if some states get “aggressive” in regulating chemical dumping, the illegal disposal will simply occur elsewhere. A proposed Federal law could plug these holes by providiing uniform standards. But he acknowledged that the states might not sufficiently enforce Federal legislation, sustaining the “cozy relationship” that may exist between state and corporate leaders. Ironically, Hooker’s chemical wastes endanger the same people who use Hooker products—including pesticides, fertilizers, plastics, and thousands of chemical products consumed in the modern industrial society. “Whether we’re driving a car, washing clothes or eating dinner, we produce wastes that can pollute our air, our water, or our land,” acknowledged Hooker in one of its periodic full-page newspaper advertisements. Hooker officials of Niagara Falls refused to answer questions over the phone, and its Washington, D.C. office could not be reached for.comment. Government officials alarmed at the growing rate of chemical waste are hard-pressed to find efficient methods of waste disposal and treatment. “The issue has not been truly addressed because of its economic implications,” said Fleming, explaining that dumping in landfills or openfields was seen as the cheapest method of waste disposal. Because of this “free lunch” approach, governmental agencies are unprepared to handle the increasing rate of environmental emergencies arising from long- \ V .* term neglect. Some see high temperature incineration of wastes as a better alternative to landfill burial, but there are only about fifteen such facilities. These privately operated plants are much more effective in reducing chemical pollution, but are more costly—in the short run view. Until solutions are implemented, the imminent threat of chemical pollution places public health on a dangerous precipice. Don't Get Snowbound in Buffalo...

Peradotto to freeze all courses at their current credit value. The freeze, coming nine months after the University chose to implement the Springer Report (devaluing most courses here to three credits), was motivated by the University’s failure to meet targeted enrollments. In an October 4 memo to University President Robert L. Ketter, Peradotto noted, “Our failure this Fall to achieve our enrollment targets is the result, in small part, of the time for outside study would be implementation of the Springer available.

The student government last month voted to deny recognition to the UB Right of Conscience Group. An ultimatum delivered to the University by Rights of Conscsience late last monththreatening court action—has been credited with spurring the adjustment. The Group’s request was-denied by GSA at its September meeting on the grounds that it was sought solely for “legitimlzation”and that the Rights of Conscience demonstrated no special interest “in the aims and purposes” of the graduate student government. Recognition entitles an organization to certain privileges such as space in Squire Hall and access to campus mail service and resources. University policy has for years entrusted, student governments with the power to grant or deny recognition, “so long as by doing so, University policy is not violated.” But Rights of Conscsience charged that not only was University policy-calling for students to have maximum use of facilities—violated, but that UTS. Constitutional rights were also abrigded. Group Vice President Janine Huber told The Spectrum last month, “We see the issue at hand as a biolation of speech, association and assembly.” Avoids court involvement Rights of Conscience maintained that recognition was sought for the privileges accompanying “Funding,” Huber explained, “was not an issue- We want to be able to hold meetings and invite speakers and we need a place in the Union to do that.” Group President Steve Krason said Wednesday that the University intervened and offered a “band-aid remedy” after the threat of court action was delivered. He explained that Rights of Conscience will have the right to use Squire Hall facilities until October 1, 1980. The decision, Krason said, came directly from the Office of the Associate Vice" president for Student Affairs Anthony F. Lorenzetti, but with the consent of student and other administratibn members of a committee recently formed to review the ' < process. - “All members were polled, including GSA President Joyce Ejnn, and there was apparently no problem',” he said. Rights of Conscience members originally maintained that denial of recognition was political. The Group gaiiled student interest last Spring when it publicly opposed mandatory abortion coverage under the Student Health Plan. The mandatory policyas opposed to the optional offering- was supported by GSA. Dangerous precedent The University’s intervention into the process'-though reportedly no contested by GSA-breaks a trend prevalent here since the 1960’s Prior to then, recognition power was vested in the UB Administration. Under SUNY Chancellor’s guidelines, the Administration can grant that authority to any body within its institution. The UB' student governments fought for and won that power ten years ago. A two alram fire ripped through a small warehouse at 3011 Main Street Wednesday, summoning 3Z City fire fighters to the scene. The blaze destroyed a warehouse-garage owned by David LaLomia Trucking, located behind UB's Bethune Hall. 12-year-old Sue Worden and Kathy Walter who live in Huber told The Spectrum September 26 that some UB administrators had voiced their support Of Rights of Conscsience, but wanted to avoid a contradicting a decision made by a student body. According to GSA President Joyce Finn, Lorenzetti, who heads the newly formed committee to review the recognition, procedure, told the group of the “solution” and maintained that altering the GSA decision was administration's only alternative. Student affairs is going to take responsibility for the group, she added. Lorenzetti expressed to The Spectrum -his concern with protecting students’ rights in decision-making, but also stressed his the area say they were the first to arrive on the scene. "We hea.d something go bag,'' said Kathy, "then we say two boys running from where, die fire i*." According to Police, the fite has befen listed as suspicious, and will be investigated by the Buffalo Fire Department. Office’s desire to avoid denying access to facilities. “We considered that it might set a dangerous precedent,” Finn admitted, but Lorenzetti* stressed that the administration was not legitimizing Rights of Conscience, but only allowing it to use space.” Rights of Conscience’s only objection to the remedy is that it is only effective for about one year. “We’ll accept this,” Krason said, “but we’re looking to a new system being talked about by the committee under which we would not be ‘recognized’, but ‘registered’ (not identified with a group such as GSA) and entitled to use facilities not only on a temporary basis.” �JPoint by point... —continued from page 1 “The production oflhe planning document in Academic Affairs, coming to grips as it does with the issue of reallocation, is one of the reasons for my characterization of the University as more mature in this year’s State of the University address.” 3. The University has never exerted much of an to evaluate teaching. A partial commitment to SCATE is just a taste of what should be done. One of the main problems discovered by the Attrition/Retention Committee and a similar study by the Admissions & Records Office, revealed that many students leave UB because of J) poor teaching, 2) lack of contact with instructors, and 3) lack of faculty advisement. This partially results from the low emphasis the Administration places on teaching. Tenure and promotion are all too frequently based on research and publication, rather than quality teaching. Undergrads here have suffered as a result of the Ketter Administration’s unwillingness to ensure quality teaching, develop teaching effectiveness measures, and reinforce them with incentives—tenure and promotion—or punish failure when necessary. 4. 4. Ketter has not altered the tenure formula to give much weight to the faculty’s public service. Thus, whatever public service work is accomplished is done on an individual’s own willingness and could limit his teaching or research time. commitment to In terms of this affirmative action, it can hardly be argued it has been In regard to teaching, the President notes the University’s commitment to teaching effectiveness. — 3. That document—Vice President for Academic Affairs Ronald F. Bunn’s Five Year Plan—was not only years in the making, but once completed, generated significant opposition. Critics charged that it was a shopping list, shifting money—almost exclusively based on enrollment—to certain programs and deleting it from others. The draft uses an Albany-imposed 17:1 student/faculty ratio for the University. Not only does the document lack an overall, creative perspective and vision, but it also adopts arbitrary ratios for individual departments. Furthermore, Ketter who has had the Plan on his desk since last year, has still not commented on it. The Plan was not subject to University approval. “The University also has enlarged its public service role within the community; and this, has required the creation of a new attitude." “The latter program (a computing program for the Buffalo high schools) will also underscore this University’s commitment to equal opportunity and affirmative action, an area in which a great deal of effort has been devoted through the past decade.” too, // •Hi 0} “Another source for funding used to supplement the State-supported budget is the University of Buffalo Foundation: Private financial support contributed through the Foundation has increased annually in past years to more than $3 million.” \ 1. “Research expenditures have increased from $16 million in 1971 to $24 million in 1978-79. The number of proposals has increased Ultimately, however, the progress we make in research will depend almost exclusively upon the initiative and industry of individual faculty members.” . 2. . . , . Ketter notes the importance of encouraging cross-disciplinary programs. He also notes, “In our conversion this year to a basic standard of contact/crcdit hour this University is demonstrating a capacity to provide students with a more education at rigorous and a time when the easier choice might have been to maintain the . . . status quo.” . 2. Research, Teaching, and Service . sincere A faculty breakdown revealed this Summer that the number of minorities employed here is nowhere near acceptable standards and is facing a still downward trend Assistant Executive Vice President Carlotta Baca termed the minority statistics—figured for Blacks, Hispanics, Asian/Pacific Islanders, American Indians and Women—“dismal, depressing and demoralizing.’’ The Assistant Vice President for Affirmative Action Jesse Nash resigned early this semester. The position has not been permanently filled. In addition, the University’s Educational Opportunity Program has a 75 percent attrition rate—and nothing has been done to reduce it. Budget and Construction 1 \ 3. effort 1. Ketter twists the figures. First he applauds the in research expenditures now. In his State of the University, the President expressed that this figure is misleading because of inflation. Conclusion; The University’s research situation is not substantially improving or the President would have told us about it. The nurtiber of proposals is increasing because money is tight and one alternative is to request research funding. But—where is this money coming from? Is the University attracting outside research or is the funding coming from the inside? Is the breakdown going towards departments that most need it or is it being allocated to the departments with burgeoning student enrollments? Ketter’s third point—emphasizing the role that individual faculty members will play on the University’s research future—contradicts his comment earlier in the document about the importance of the VP for Research. How much of an impact will a permanent VP for Research have if research progress depends “almost exclusively upon the initiative and industry of individual faculty members”? $24 million 2. Cross-disciplinary programs here are stagnant at best. The area of this University which is structurally best suited for cross-disciplinary studies—the Colleges—has received .tpeager support and from its inception, has remained it a tenuous political position. The cross-disdplinaliV programs that are available are almost never tied to the areas with growing student enrollments—thus, the ones tHht exist only benefit a few. There has never been a study done to evaluate the value of the one credit hour/one contact hour mode (Carnegie Unit), and there is no evidence that students now are receiving a broader or more rigorous education. “The operational implications of that decision (to “impose reasonable rates of growth upon currently popular .”) arcjfiit we haVe more attractive .programs in low demand areas such as Arts & Letters, Social Sciences, and Millard Fillmore College, and that these programs will have to be programs . . to design 1. In an audit Covering the years 1975-77, the University of Buffalo Foundation received heavy criticism for picking up a $47,000 expense tab for University officials. Though that figure'may seem insignificant considering the Foundation’s total financial commitment, $18,000 of that was attributed to Ketter’s spending. 2. The Univesity has not only failed to attract students to these areas, but it has failed to even devise criteria to try-to do so. It has become a passive, accepting obseryer of educational trends. Millard FilWore College was significantly below its euroMment projections thj$ year,' pushing the University’s total enrollment projections farther below the mark. Budget ramifications threaten the faculty with retrenchment. widely publicized.” 3- “We must take steps to retain the students we already have. To that end, I appointed last year a University Committee on Attrition/Retention which has come forward with numerous recommendations that have been placed in priority order by the Vice President for Student Affairs.” 3. The Attrition/Retention report lacked direction. It was originally submitted and then returned to Siggelkow for prioritization. Siggelkow’s subcommittee has now allocated almost all of the $25,000 it had to improve student life. Most of that money was largely spent on seemingly wasteful recreation equipment—‘although an “alcohol prevention program” received $7500. Facilities “Although we have made considerable progress in moving the core campus academic units to the Amherst Campus, construction has been seriously delayed.” 2. “Nevertheless, as other schools and Departments in the Health Sciences undergo accreditation visits, we can anticipate receiving further criticisms of physical facilities on the Main Street Campus.” 1. Construction may have been seriously delayed, the University has played ping-pong with departments. For example, poor planning led to the Math Department’s move from Diefendorf to Ridge Lea and back to Diefendorf. Faculties are not unified with Chemistry on Main Street, Statistics on Ridge Lea and Physics and Biology on Amherst. but 2. This is a typical UB administrative excuse for things that are going to happen. We can anticipate further problems, but we’re not doing anything about them. We know that other accrediting bodies may find some of our programs shaky as was the case with the Dental School.

Peradotto’s freeze halts scheduled reviews of courses which do not conform to the one credit/one contact hour (Springer) base; namely, courses which are four and five credits, but do not meet for the same number ofclassroom hours. The immediate effects of his decision appears to benefit students; they will be able to take classes for more credit than the accepted classroom hour mandate. Educationally, they may or may not be worth the extra credit, but. budgetary the University will benefit. The decision stems from the University’s crime of accepting the one-for-one base as a standard. This conclusion was reached largely on misguided budgetary interpretations. It was not based on educational merit. Peradotto claims that if the University allows its enrollment (read: budget) to dwindle, then academically it will suffer in the long run. Thus, he maintains, his decision for an Immediate freeze Is educationally sound. But, the effects of his decision undermine the University’s endorsement of the Springer, standard. It leaves certain departments at an advantage, because all their courses may not have been devalued or evaluated. And it leaves devalued courses cheated—perhaps they are not as attractive as the courses which weren’t devalued, but which may require equal amounts of work. Perhaps this budgetary concern should have been examined when the University opted to endorse the infamous Springer Report. When it was adopted last year, Peradotto argued against it—partially based on the budget Impact. Now, the University is stuck with an Ill-formed decision, lacking in both educational and budgetary reason. So the DUE Dean is forced to act contrary to supposed educational logic. His heart is in the right place, but his legs are in two different doors. Recognition The University Administration's intervention into the student-run recognition process sets a dangerous precedent. Yes, the recognition process is not clearly defined. Yes, the University Rights of Conscience Group should be recognized and entitled to all the privileges of any recognized group because it is a , legitimate student organization. Yes, the Graduate Student Association (GSA) played politics with Rights of Conscience and caught the group on a technicality. The GSA could have found reason to recognize Rights of Conscience if it looked as hard as it did for a reason not to recognize them. Yes, the new committee studying recognition guidelines—which includes student reps—discussed Associate Vice President for Student Affairs Anthony Lorenzetti’s decision to recognize Rights of Conscience. Yes, there would have been a time delay between devising new guidelines and recognizing Rights of Conscience. The University Administration should not be meddling in student decisions. Rights of Conscience could have turned to other student groups—the undergraduate Student Senate—or Squire Hall’s House Council for temporary authority to use student union space. The group could have made do—like many other student groups awaiting recognition—until the Student Senate meets or new guildelines are devised. Thus, the intervention not only sets a dangerous precedent, but it undermines student power. The Spectrum Vol.30.No.24 Friday, 12 October 1979 Editor-In-Chief Daniel S.

Professor Howard Wolf bemoans the cut-backs In faculty lines In Arts and Letters, which he says are the result of a budget process based on student/facuity ratios. Faculty and students from the expanding areas of the University, such as Management, would bemoan the alternative; forcing students to major In subjects they don’t want. The debate continues. Or is it a debate? I do not bemoan the loss of faculty in Arts and Letters. What I mourn is the loss of the spirit of criticism not only in the Arts and Letters, the Social Sciences faculties, but also in Engineering and Management. I always thought that it was this critical spirit that has to be protected within the academy through good times and bad against social pressures that would exterminate it. Both Professor Wolf and his “opponents” assume that students have been and are today choosing their majors on the basis of “free choice.” No doubt It appears that way to the student who can select any major from the entire catalogue, and even most every course offered. This certainly smacks of freedom as we know it in America—just as any American can walk up to a cigarette vending machine and choose any brand he or she prefers, or a viewer of television can instantly change channels whenever a program fails to sustain his or her interest. Such is the pervasiveness of “freedom" In our land, which the University reflects. To get back to students’ freedom of choice: was it true that students in the 1960’s freely chose to major in the Humanities and Social Sciences? Is it true that students today freely choose to major in Engineering and Management? What do we mean by “freedom”? I suggest that students, especially those at U.B. who come from predominantly poor or working class families, do not choose their careers freely at all; they choose, instead, on the basis of what career they think will lead them to a good and rewarding job. And, I don’t blame them. I did the same thing twenty five years ago choosing “freely” to major in Engineering Physics. It was a perfect choice because employers were very eager to hire students with such majors especially in the era of Sputnik and Guided Missiles. No one wastes four years of money and time for nothing. Maybe students from the upper classes going to Harvard and Yale can afford to indulge their fancies, but not here at U.B. The alleged “freedom of choice” dissolves Into the available job markets, and the question ought to be: how are Job markets created and undone? Why were there so many Jobs open In the public sector a decade ago, end so few In that same sector today? Why is there an expanding job market In the Corporate sector today? So much for the illusory “freedom of choice”, an illusion apparently necessary for the perpetuation of the American political economy dominated by the giant monopoly corporations seeking to maximize their own profits. “The necessity to abandon illusions concerning a situation, is the necessity to abandon the situation that has need of illusions” said Karl Marx a hundred years ago. The maintenance of these Illusory freedoms legitimates the present order, and social criticism would dispell such illusions. This is why the leaders of both American Capitalism and Soviet Communism will do anything to eliminate or deflect the spirit of social criticism. Both systems remove such critics from academic positions in Universities, and this is what has happened here at U.B., and this is why the “debate” in the Spectrum between Arts and Letters and Management is no debate at all. We must go deeper into the structure of decision making in our society to understand and change conditions we don’t like I call for a greater involvement of both the Arts and Letters faculty and the Management faculty in social criticism and a reduction of the spirit of celebration of the present realities, myths and illusions. We need thinkers who fight against the banalization of the human imagination in the mindless products of the mass media; we need technical people who ask: how come there is so much government money for research in nuclear power and so little money for solar? We need experts in administration who ask: is it possible that the present crisis in industrial productivity is due to the lack of participation of working people in decisions? We all of us need to fight the present confines of the human spirit. Charles A. Haynie Tolstoy College Phaedrus by Robert Basil Pick up any one of the half dozen or so leftist journals which are passed out on campus and you will be able to see the sorry; fractured state of Marxism in America today. At least as much copy space is allotted to articles badgering their fellow anti-capitalists as those devoted to exposing the unquenchable greed of this country’s corporate powers’. For example, in this week’s Progressive Labor .Party publication Challenge, the Revolutionary Communist Newspaper ample line-inches are given to savage indictments of, get this, the “revisionist tactics of the Revolutionary Communist Party.” The Progressive Lapor Party essentially ignores the similaf ideology of a fellow Marxist organization and refuses to unite with it because of a minor-difference in theories ef “revolution.” This disunity, which springs from the same well of disarray afflicting popular citizen movements all over this country, must certainly cull the grin from this country’s industrial elite. The corporations of this country, whose gargantuam limbs are enfolding and strangling natural resources world wide ->ave no reason to be intimidated by environmental or progressive social groups. It’s obvious to the technocrats, that their enlightened opponents just cannot get their act together; citizen movements in the United States have had an abysmal modern history. But, the two gigantic anti-nuke rallys which exploded in New York and Washington since the Three Mile Island near-disaster have shown the potential to reverse this course. These two marrow-curdling successes have this country’s corporate interest running scared. The establishment media’s sorry misreportage of the Citizen’s movement during the recent protests was glaringly obvious; it shouldn’t be shockino that the corporate press, most notably the AP and UPI wire services, tried to reduce the rallies to a political sunny-day rock concert. What these writers failed to report was the monumental nature of the event. Rock music served to unite a generation in a quest for natural energy. Rock is perhapo the only all-encompassing signature of our generation. If any citizen’s movement is to gain enough support to tumble the industrial titans who rule over our resources, it must at first aim for the common bond found in our music. The extraneous ideological differences which so crippled leftist and citizen’s movements in the past look as if they are finally being tossed aside in passionate pursuit of a common cause. Sooner or later, the national media will have to start recognizing this growing solidarity in their reportage. Millions are saying that they have no choice. This savory erosion of nitpicky political barriers has also begun to find its way into UB. Last weekend, as dozens of activists were receiving wounds from the New Hampshire State police at the Seabrook nuclear power plant, several students here kept up a vigil throughout the stormy weekend at our own nuclear reactor on the Main Street campus. I asked one lanky red-bearded fellow who he represented. He had to be a part of some politically radical group with inflaccid opinions, I thought at the tjme. “I bet you are at least immersed in Tolstoy College,” I caustically pried. I was enlightened. “Well, kind of, but that’s not really important,” he replied. “Whoever you are,” he continued, “you should join us.” One of the shivering women keeping the vigil with him said, "with you—and if a few others come—we can keep this thing going all night.” My God, I thought, they’re—we’ve—really going to win this thing. And where were the local media to report on the protest rally’s Buffalo contingent? I guessed that the cold and rain must have scared them away. ' �■•yno r feedback ‘' avS-wtsH Still alive i To the Editor: Reports in the media of the demise of the Center for Creative and Performing Arts make racy journalism, but they do not precisely reflect the complexity of current reality. A more credible metaphor would be that the patient is critically ill, yet its death certificate has not been signed. The notorious meeting of Thursday, Oct. 5, between the principals in the operation of the Center—Lejaren MHIer, Morton Feldman, Jan Williams and myself—was called for the purpose of discussing alternatives that might keep the Center going. It was the consensus of the participants of that meeting that no options available to us at that time seemed likely to ),-•* h: jjtw* f- promise success, that under present circumstances the Center cannot continue to operate as in the past. But none of us present at that meeting has the authority (nor the ultimate perspective) required to close the Center. That decision rests with the Dean of Arts and Letters, George Levine, and my report to hirrvof the conclusions reached during the meeting of Oct. 5 will be weighed carefully in arriving at his conclusions about the potential future of the Center. Until he makes that decision, any reports of an actual death should be viewed as premature sensationalism. .a <!•»<*' Blatantly offensive i<5 IS**' aa;i.

Ad Hoc Committee for Responsible Journalism Participate in Greek system To the Editor: I aim to inspire. Let me offer some of my thoughts about may experience as a student here at U.B. and I invite you to reflect on the benefits that you are gleaning from your college experience. I am a senior in cell biology swiftly headed toward graduate studies and post-doctorlal research in biology. I have welt survived my prerequisites and other bio courses and with the time remaining, I have taken small doses of literature, a little philosophy and some art history. I play the guitar and have been a resolute believer in the power of good music. I have skied with ski club. I play tennis. I have a desirable G.P.A., love to go to.mldnlght movies. I work parttime and commute from Amherst. “So what”, you ask? Of all the things that I have done at U.B., becoming closely associated with the young men of the Delta Chi Fraternity has clearly been the most helpful to me. I have been active in the Bio department, but I never really felt a strong tie between myself and this university through my studies, nor have I ever really cared about U.B.’s development as a university center. I never felt like I was an important part of a social group at school: I went to study groups for Organic chem—I went skiing with people I bearly knew. It is rough to get through this place on your own. Delta Chi has added almost more humaness to my days at U.B. than I can handle. Next to my family, I have never been more inspired by and proud of any group of people than I am of my brothers in Delta Chi. For me, it is a great system of caring, of support, and of belief in humanity with such a marvelously rich tradition behind ft. It is also an incredibly good time. Now is such an opportune time to be participating in the Greek System. Most fraternity and sorority members feel the positive momentum building for Greeks on campus. U.B.’s Dr. Stein has repeatedly given his support to us. It is clear to me that this university is rapidly becoming one of the finest centers in America and the Greeks will contribute an important breath of interest to it. I warmly .welcome you to check up On us. Come and play soccer with us or drop by 165 Minnesota and talk with some of the guys. We have several architects, management majors, pre*med, geologists and biologists amongst us. Wtfd be glad to talk to you about the other benefits we get from belonging to Delta Chi. The Greeks are back on campus and being a Greek means being a brother of Delta Chi. Give us a call: 837-6067. "ROSALVNM, ITS HIM AGAIN" David Townsend Lewis Rose Melanie Pierson Mark Rosen Arthur Hall Nancy Fred Joseph Murphy Kathy McDermott Katherine Edgell Michael Wiseman Jeremy Nowak Nancy Heywood Judith Becker Elizabeth Sommers Mary Fahey Peter Zaret Russell Leisner To the Editor: i was to say the least, very taken back by the advertisement printed in the October 10th issue of The Spectrum, submitted by Hooker Chemical. I realize that to run a paper, it does cost money, but I feel as though taking money from people (if you can call them that) that kill other people with no remorse is really too muph. One argument can be made for free press, and that Hooker can advertise on equal terms with any other concern. Free press is necessary to keep this country going. I do however think that we as concerned citizens should take recourse against this company and not money. One, is to boycott as many products made by Hooker as possible. This includes taking advertising money for their ads. It makes my skin crawl to think that part of The Spectrum was paid for by these killers. I would have rather seen in place of the ad, use of that spade explaining how The Spectrum was approached by Hooker for an ad, and it was turned down. In addition, a reminder to them and this community of just how irresponsible they still are, and how they continue to try and kill and maim us and our children. Daniel Pfoltzer Editor’s response: The Editorial Board of The Spectrum decided earlier this semester that we would not reject advertisements from advertisers whose political ideologies are in disagreement with the collective board’s unless the ad content was determined to be "blatantly offensive." We also agreed that subjectivity in making this decision was an unfortunate but realistic factor. Therefore, we may disagree with the actions of Hooker Chemical and continue to make this disagreement known in our coverage, but we did not find the ad content to be “blatantly offensive. ” Premiere instructor To the Editor: This letter is in regard to Marlon Russel Koenigsberg and Ray Bergan’s letters concerning the competence of Dr. W. Beth. I was a student in Dr. Beth’s 113-114 Physics class during the 77-78 school year and found him to be an outstanding educator as well as an individual who takes a sincere interest in his students. Dr. Beth’s enthusiasm, organized method of teaching, and warm personality inspired a sincere interest in Physics amongst me and my fellow classmates which still remains. Looking back on my college experience I consider Dr. Beth one of my premier instructors and I will be forever grateful to him. • Marvin A. Kornmehl - �m i Academic back seat. hoars per student.

Swartz Gasoline prices are rising: this phenomenon has occupied much of our attention in recent months. The papers are full of serious analysis and dire predictions about tht> impact this will have on our lives. What is neglected in media coverage is the fact that many products are actually getting cheaper all the time. 1 am referring of course to electronic microcircuit technology. Home video games, once playthings for rich gadgeteers, are now commonplace. Home computer terminals' vyill be affordable for most families within a few years. And while it wasn't so long ago that even a crude pocket calculator cost $75, I was astonished to note that last winter Mobil stations were given them out free with tune-ups. The Cars have adopted a similar strategy, electronic wizardry equals automotive inducement. The energy crisis in commercial music has been offset by their commitment to, and mastery of, high-technology. Tm speaking here of the affordable consumer product. New Wave music in its radical form does not lend itself well to mass production;,and disco is just too uniforrrrto fit the bill —dancing music and driving music serve different functions. The Cars, with their slashing guitars and their synthesizer drones have opted for the best of both. They have built on research done in the fields of internal combustion music (rock and roll) and high-tech (disco) to produce a product which, at its best combines the passion of the former with the detachment of the latter. But before a more detailed discussion of The Cars, let's look at a sporty British Roadster named Bram Tchaikovsky. » " r school age. (&You see kids that behind the wheel as well—which is also a little disturbing since it makes me feel old). Before the set, The Cars paid homage to their cultural and musical forebears Kraftwerk by playing the Autobahn album over the PA. Then the curtain parted, revealing The Cars tearing into "Cot a Lot on My Head." Their alburn sound, which fetures ominous spatial effects, survives the transition to live performance very well. Their polished musical surfaces take on an immediacy which is very affecting, even in a place the size of thd Aud (although the sound left something to be desired). Credits What was most impressive about The Cars' performance was the self-sufficiency of the music. In spite of the trendy black-red-and-white color scheme, in spite of what seems to be a measure of calculation in their music, I never felt that I, as an audience member, was being "milked" by the group for a response. What Ocasek and the band have done is to design a vehicle which can roll along on its own, while inviting us at the same time • High octane The automotive metaphor is suitable for Bram as well: his first commercial success was as guitarist of the Motors. Bram commands a four-amp performing unit which seems to handle best at high speeds. While some of their songs have the look and feel of rock and roll classics, in general, their material is not up to their musicianship. Exceptions are the title track of the debut album entitled Strange Man/Changed Man. and the FM hit "Girl of My Dreams," which sounded even better in concert than on a car radio: the stinging double guitars of the lead setting off the sly centerfold imagery. If they can overcome the commercial banality of some of their songs, they might make some nice tracks indeed. The audience for The Cars struck me as alarmingly young —many of them barely high- ON THE MOVE; All you had to do was say "Lot's go" and The Cars did on Friday night at tha And.

Apocalypse, as in Apocalypse Now came on the backs of voracious whirlybirds, not horses, but the effect was the same--apocalypse, the revelation of hidden knowledge, fulfilled its ' prophesy/. The vehicle erf Apocalypse, the cover story through which the malevolent tide of its heart of darkness surges is than an American Green Beret named Colonel Kurtz has gone too insane—at least beyond that madness the Army can harness —and he and hrs band of devout followers seem to thrive, gorging on Kuntz' madness. Martin Sheen as Willard, an army assassin, accepts the mission of seeking out Kurtz in his Cambodian outpost, ' with plans to "terminate (him) with extreme prejudice." Sheen's trip upriver cuts through the layers of a Vietnamese hell, everywhere bodies thick, to Kurtz' Angkor Wat-like compound. All this points to Vietnam, but this is not a film about Vietnam, of Vietnam. It is Vietnam as a metaphor. And the metaphor exists that Coppola could explore the ultimate morality of war, the Supreme Court of self. And it is because the film is vibrant that the potential for abuse pervades. Because it js set in Vietnam and uses the surrealism we made of Vietnam so convincingly, some may think the film is a contact print, a replication of our involvement in an Asian country 13,000 miles away. It is not. For example, Kurtz tells Willard a tale of how the Viet Cong chopped off every innoculated child's arm in a village after Kurtz' company took extraordinary pains to innoculate the village. Kurtz continues, "And then I realized, like I was shot, like I was shot with a diamond, a diamond bullet right through my forehead. And I thought, my Cod, the genius of that. The genius, the will, the masterful knowledge, the information to do that Then I realized (the Viet Cong) were stronger than we, because they could stand it." And here the moral payload of the film carried like a missile impacted: kill without judgement. In war, once you are in war, that is all you can do, Coppola implies. One problem —that incident never happened. As a Critic in THE END IS NEAR: Above, a helicopter squadron battles for control of a Viet Cong beachhead to be used later by the squadron's leader, Kilgore, for surfing. Below, Sheen emerges from a steamy river an route to a rendezvous with Kurtz, Mother Iones pointed out, if it had, the press and certainly the Pentagon wouldn't have let it die. So in one fell swoop, the Viet Cong are stripped of their humanity. Might this be too high a price to pay to make a point? there are truths in Apocalypse, and that makes the untruths the fabrications for the story's sake all the more dangerous. Coppola depicts the frontier post of American bccupation, a particularly harrowed corridor of hell where Americans throw up a bridge every day only to have "Charlie" destroy it every night so that —continued on page 16— ce Howe Da is as simple and unpretentious a play as its titl? suggests. The Studio Arena Theaters season opener brings tears to your eyes and a lift to your spirits. Yes, these are both cliches. Written by Irish playwright Hugh Leonard, Da is drama built on and around theatrical and literary cliches. Semi-autobiographical, the Broadway hit is the tale of a playwright who returns from his adopted England to his parents' Ireland home upon the death of "Da" —his father. We are shown the relationship between father and son through conventional flashbacks and the physical presence of "Da." The production is a perfect example of how the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. Charlie Now, Leonard's alterego, is in his late forties when he returns'to his boyhood homw —a man who only late in life decided to do what he really wanted as opposed to what he felt he had to. Leonard allows us to examine the transition between boyhood and manhood by the revealing presence of Young Charlie (the playwright in his early twenties) whose affection for Da is more open There is nothing deep here. There is really no profundity or great lesson to be learned that has not been taught to audiences before Yet, Da is to be reckoned with because it is theater performing the role it should —the catalyst for unspoken emotions, the window through which we view ourselves When a frustrated and guilt-ridden older Charlie snaps at his irascible da, "I wish I was a fly in your head. You're a wasp in mine," the power of blood ties comes surging at us. It is Leonard's wisdonand knowledge and ultimate acceptance of that is imparted —and which moves the play along. Characterizations are tine (though Irish brogues may be a bit forced): But this linguistical stiffness works to remind us that the situation transcends regions. As Charlie Now, actor Steven Sutherland (familiar to Buffalo audiences as Scrooge in last season's Arena production of Dickens' A Christmas Carol), manages to sustain a child's simultaneous pull towards and away form family, ln.a remarkable transformation of self, Sutherland becomes in one scene a seven year old excitely kneeling on a sea cliff besides his da, watching the ships coming in.

As the smoke rolled dutifully out to mix its predictable tones with the floodlights, and the speckled beams of ball-borne light sweeped obediently around the wildly-cheering audience, I saw the perfect lampoon of modern rock appear before my eyes. If the band had only taken advantage of the oh-wow lapse in the crowd and slickly moved info that irresistable fast food anthem: "We do it all for yooooou ..Now that would have been a statement,"they would have stolen a genuine triumph from this sugar-coated spectacle of defeat and,.in the process, exorcised the phoniness of mass media from the soul of rock 'n roll, they would have shown the delirious audience that, with smoke bombs, lazers, explosions and niftly light tricks, there was really no need for music, sc< we might as well sell a few Big Macs while we enjoy ourselves. No such luck The Doobies broke into "China Grove" and ruined everything. The kiddies roared. In no particular order, here are some of the other ways the Doobie Brothers managed to make fools of their believers; The band structured the show like a greatest hits package, but refused to even recognize that the music associated with the name Doobie Brothers has evolved several times over as the membership of the band reeled and rocked. The show ignored alt the historical progression in- the Doobie Brothers — music, hopping carelessly from "Taking it to the Streets" back to "Long Train Running" then up to "Minute by Minute." All the idiosyncracies in the songs from the Minute by Minute album (which brought much of the crowd to the Aud last Monday) were lost because of miserable sound or musical incompetence The two dominant forces on the album, Michael McDonald's brilliant vocals and his peculiar organ piping, were both absent for the evening. McDonald himself was cold, expressionless and reserved throughout the performance, which is alright with me as long as he's there when his cue comes. —The band lacked any sort of focus, or leadership on stage. Pat Simmons, one of the two original members, did most of the talking between songs, but new guitarist John McPhee kept acting out his rock-star fantasies by running from one end of the stage to the other, the spotlights failing t6 follow him about half the time so that he looked forgotten and foolish out there whipping the crowd into a ho-hum frenzy. McDonald, the clear leader on the last two albums, was somewhere else while every other member of the band took turns showing off, It came to a pathetic climax during the last song when drummer Bert Knudson tried to prove he could command an audience as lead singer on "Listen to the Music" only to end up throwing about 18 drumsticks into the crowd when someone else was off on a solo, then working himself into a false fit of exhiliration as the final drum bang sounded and he kicked his legs hilariously into the air like a three-year-old stamping his disapproval. The band showed little respect for their own musical abilities, improvising only in the most — — BlueOyster Cult, led by lead singer Eric Bloom, performed in Buffalo on this rainy night as part of their U.S, tour to promote the newly released Mirrors LP.

Lyrics were distorted and unrecognizable. Can this be blamed on the equipment, or an egotistical Cult trait to crank up the volume beyond recognition? The Cult is a band of the past. A one-time heavyweight group that lost their title due to growing old Maybe it's time for the individual talent to split apart and regroup with other musicians Lead guitarist Donald Roeser displayed remarkable talent as he took the audience on a journey through his many solos. In the song "Astronomy," Roeser grabbed the crowd and sent them wildly applauding till the end, at which he politely offered thanks. The versatility of keyboardist Allen Lanier arid drummer Albert Bouchard to excel in their respective instruments, and then fill in on rhythm guitar when needed, provides further evidence of strong individual talent. It is time for the Cult to retreat back to the group effort in writing their compositions, otherwise quick-buck albums like Minors will continue to rip off die hard fans If you have seen Blue Oyster Cult in concert, don't waste your time or money to try seconds. You've seen it And tor those that are contemplating their first live Cult sighting, think about that new album you want or the dime of grass that your lungs desire —Scott Swick • > very same reason, he didn't want to play Uncle Sam's. His band has a rather large and intricate souncksystem, and the acoustics and setting of a bar just aren't right. Usually, when musicians are forced to play (contractual agreements or whatever! it's difficult to put on a "good show. Stanley Clarke, however, is too much of a musician and showman to let contractual crap bog him down. The show (aside from its length) proved to be one of his best Buffalo area performances. Fresh from an exciting Saturday night set in . Rochester's East Theater (with the funky Tower of Power opening), Stanley brought his eight-man entourage to this Cheektowaga club. Uncle Sam's proved to be a great place to hear a concert (the acoustics, combined with a good sound system, was much better than expected), but a well below average place to see a show. The crowd was standing room only —not from being oversized, but from the inability of anyone to find a seat. Of course, standing ovations were much too -commonplace. Despite the poor (nonexistent, actually) seating arrangements, the quality of the show was excellent. Stanley chose music from each of his five albums and, with the addition of a Return to Forever tune, worked the crowd up. Clarke's visit to the Century Theater last year had a much more newest title tune "Want to Play for You" for his .first and last encore and then split, virtually in the middle of the show, and shuffle on his Journey to Love, or wherever else he can command seven bucks for ninety, minutes. —Doug Alpern S The Members, Stage 1, October 7, 1979 The rebel rock of England's Members, on their first American tour, met with the all-too-typical pose of narrow-minded America and its residents' fear of music. A quick reversal of acts this evening found the Members pfafing warm-up to the Ohio cover group, the Paul Pope band, and babysitting the minimal attention span of the said artist's "fanatics." Fanaticism, however, does not justify fascism. Too bad for Paul Pope because through his fans' attempts to accelerate his appearance on stage (through their disruption of the Members' set), many pf the people that came to listen to Music left soon after the Member*' excellent (albeit aggravated) delivery of rock and reggae The only problem for the aborted disruption attempts.was that the Members' fans weren't going to allow their brand of entertainment to be infringed upon.

An epic illustration of Weston's oneness with the spirits of Africa and Afro-America, Blue Moses conjures starlit nights, rumbling boogie, and romping ancestral call. It is a happy tune, deep and concentrated to a fine simplicity; one that requires a thorough understanding of the tune's essence and structural message (a tenacity Weston and Thelonious Monk shares implicitly). A soloist cannot ignore the theme here, just as the Music's authenticity and basic popularity cannot be destroyed Blue Moses was the trio's final performance of a great engagement, and it was there. One found a bright circle reaching, Sabu tight and pouncing the s'trings like a great cat, Azzedin permeating the cungas with the message of forefathers and the rap of hands cutting jive, and the master pianist vibrantly calling the nations together to move. —Michael F.

"It's just that it's tough being out there on your own. The record business has become big business and that requires big capital," noted United Artists Records President Artie Mogull. The comment followed the purchase of his company by music conglomerate Capitol/EMI in March of this year.

RovrieftiTV— "What was once an independent, activist enclave in the business world is fast disappearing . . . the more you create a conglomerate atmosphere, the more you're going to shorten your menu to sell a billion of one item," observed a prominent record retailer in a recent issue of Rolling Stone. The same mentality that seeks to appease the Nielsen ratings with endless take-offs on Charlie's Angels scours the universe for the next Van Halen, Cars, Knack, or whatever is deemed "hip" at that moment, "Before, the record companies would say, 'We think we can sell 200,000 to 300,000 records with this act. Let's sign him.' Now, they're going to ask, 'Can this act have platinum records (album sales in excess of a million)'?" affirmed Irv Azoff who manages the Eagles and Steely Dan among others. Creativity in this malaise is strictly accidental. Pop muzak Disco music, as the latest bitch-in-heat, has the major' record labels foaming at the mouth for a piece of the hot action. Once a bastion for the small independent label, disco rides the swell of Saturday Night Fever leaving a multi-billion dollar per year business in its wake. In a recent issue of Billboard, the industry's bible, disco copped forty of the Hot 100 singles, including six in the Top Ten. Disco albums and albums containing disco elements enjoy similar success. The Roiling Stones have sold 4.5 million copies of their Some Girls album, with the disco smash "Miss You" supplying much of the impetus. But this monotheistic worship of THE BUCK ALMIGHTY may have the record industry holding the knife to its own throat. "Obviously people are willing to pay a lot for hip product What we don't know is how much is too much. Right now, we're waiting to see," commented vice president of sales for Elektra/Asylum, Stanley Marshall. The comment followed last year's price hike, the industry's third major price increase in three years, and Lower prices? Rumors abound that the record companies are considering lower prices in response to the decreased demand for their product "There is a definite relationship between the higher prices and the current industry slump My label has discussed lowering the prices of catalog stock and release* by new artists around the first of the year," confirmed A&M Records' head of New York marketing, Richie Gallo. But most people bet on a horse whose reputation precedes it to the starting gate. Likewise, the sounds emanating from your radio tend to predict the vinyl in your future; Prior to 1972, progressive FM radio challenged the sterile Top 40 format with a freewheeling non-format. "We tended at times to be abusive to our audience in our disregard of popular trends," reflects Buffalo's WBUF program director, Jeff Appleton, himself an eight year veteran of the FM circuit Appleton remembers playing Waylon Jennings and Willie Nelson when Led Zeppelin was more the order of the day. Laboratory mice 1972 brought the advent of Lee Abram's laboratory tested formula for profitable FM radio He mines his solid gold radio with the same tools that Procter & Gamble uses to sell soap In addition, Abrams employs a test market that is best described as Name That Tune in reverse. "We take people right off the street who have never had any contact with radio or records —you know, a local guy whb works in a lumberyard —and we'll give them a record. With about twenty percent of these people, every time they say they like something, it has the potential to become a hit For some reason, they have magic ears, everything they say, they like happen," uttered Abrams in a recent issue of Rolling Stone. In other words, why train your ears when the local lumberyard employee's magic ears will keep you wallowing senselessly in Pop Muzak. Abrams' tight playlist rests on the premise that the average listener {whoever that may be} assimilates new music only in small doses In support of this argument, BUF's Appleton cited a study conducted by a Detroit FM station. "If a station played a record twice a day seven days a week, it would, have to play it fifteen times before the average listener (?) has heard it once." For the active listener, a fine line exists between FM formula radio and the play-it-till-you-puke style of its Top 40 counterpart. Play it safe The Abrams playlist is currently in use nationwide at over forty FM stations. Its influence is even more far reaching “Because of the competitive situation and because the stations must have a substantial piece of the audience in order to survive, they play those things which they can be relatively sure are hits rather than take a chance and expose a new product before it's been tested," imparted the program director of San Francisco's KSAN in a recent issue of Rolling Stone.

The color of boxing is a crimson stream of blood shielding the fighter's eye, virtually blinding him from the blows that create halos of sweat as the leather snaps his swollen head back. Yet despite the gore, the sport of boxing has generated a following unprecendented by any other. The* athletes themselves, no matter how brutally they are beaten in the ring, are superior to any human being who engages in hand to hand combat Yet 20 years ago, a writer for Sports Illustrated set out to find out how superior the boxer really is. George Plimpton, the dean of participatory journalists was able to convince the middle weight champion at. the time, Archie Moore to go three rounds. Most boxing experts began to write Plimpton's eulogy Plimpton lived, and details the exhibition and the history of boxing in his most recent publication Shadow Boxing. Plimpton's bout with Moore almost did turn out be a disaster. A practical-joking friend told Moore that Plimpton had been a stand-out college boxer and was planning to use the exhibition to make himself a name in the ring. It took two seconds before Archie realized that the stick figure opposite him had a strange reflex—he cried when anything close to a punch came near, Moore eased to up. But boxing has a history that consists of more than ninfe minutes in the ring with the champ, and between the ropes, a child in the public light. That later changes. Symbol of success All's rise, decline and later resurrection comprise the final two-thirds of Shadow Boxing, but intermittently, Plimpton focuses on the Ali personality. Insight intoAli, Plimpton style, has never been done before, and its value to fighting skeptics is priceless. While riding through the Southern United States with the Ali caravan,(Ali at the bus wheel), Plimpton could capture Ali either playing with small children or expressing deep concern with - jklLftemn Plimpton merely draws the reader into the book with his own comical experience in the ring Plimpton begins a trek into the background of the ring, tracing the spectacle back to when only the nobility 6f England gave it credibility. From the Dukes to Jack Johnson, Plimpton's research is wellprepared and proves that a hundred years ago, the Cosell's rival roots of Muhamud Ali were born.

There was a time when meadow grove and stream the earth and every common sight to me did seem appareled in celestial light to the glory and freshness of a dream. issues. Ali, Plimpton deducts, was a man who however exhuberent and almost silly in the public eye, was intelligent enough to know that he was a symbol of success in the 1960's and 70's, It has been said that the heavyweight champion was the most recognized individual in the world. But there is more of Plimpton scattered through Shadow Bdxing In between Ali stories, he brings to life his friends, close and distant, who are caught up in fighting fever. Ernest HeiYiingway, his presence almost intimidating Plimpton, seemed to find pleasure instructing the junior writer in selfdefense following the Moore bout. Later in the book, names like Truman Capote, Norman Mailer, Woody Allen and Marianne Moore are dropped, almost as if Plimpton is saying, "See, I'm famous."

Wow, all this and he's side-splitting besides Wilson, who has had his work published quite often in Playboy, Esquire and National Lampoon, is along with B, Kliban the sickest and funniest cartoonist drawing nowadays. Wilson's work, however, has always tried to stick closer to the farthest fringes of human experience, while Kliban (Cats, Whack Your Porcupine, Never Eat Anything Bigger Than Your Head) aims more for Dali-like visions of the absurd.

But with Wilson's new book, Nuts, he leaves the realm of the explicitly-rendered perverse for a while and recreates the adventures of "The Kid," the beloved character in a comic strip featured in Lampoon.

Th£ program, as Carter explained it,, “is an effort to get students in touch with the world of work and the best way to do this is to have them talk to people with experience.” The week’s activities were .organized by the Office of Career Guidance and Placement with the help of five members from the Community Advisory Council. The program has received zero funding. Carter said. It has been successfully established, be explained, because “There is a great relationship with the local community people and they are happy to work with the students.” The program was organized over the summer without any suggestions from students. Carter said he hopes to have a student committee established after this Career Horizons Week to get ideas and input that would improve future career weeks.

Apartment-style dorms UB Vice President of Facilities Planning John Neal explained that for a SUNY institution to convert a “no longer needed” dorm into a useful facility, it would have to purchase the building from the State Dormitory Authority. The Dorm Authority is a separate agency which owns all the dorms and collects revenue from individual schools to pay back outstanding construction bonds. In 1973, UB’s Stockton-Kimball Tower on the Main Street Campus was converted from dorm space into an office facility after the building was purchased from the Dorm Authority. Meanwhile, the State University Constractipn Fond has filed an application with the Hpusing and Urban Development’s college housing program on behalf of SUNY Albany, Binghamton and Purchase. Should the applications be accepted, each school would be eligible to receive up to $5 million in housing slid. One Albany spokesman recalled that in the past, criteria for loan approval has been based on a school’s ability to demonstrate severe housing shortages. Gassman acknowledged that if housing requests are approved “only apartment-style facilities will be built.’’ He cited various reasons including lower maintenance costs and the ability to house married students.

Gay Lib put on hold for space in Squire The UB Gay Liberation Front (GLF) presently based in Townsend Hall, must wait another two weeks to see if it can relocate in Squire Hall. The Squire House Council—which is responsible for allocating space in the building—failed to get a quorum at its meeting Wednesday for the second straight time, and thus could not vote on the matter. Roonv311 in the student union was willingly given to the GLF by its current tenants, the Undergraduate Student Association (SA), Graduate Student Association (GSA), Student Wide Judiciary and student representative to the College Council Michael Pierce. Each group or person expressed a lack of need for the office. GLF’s move, however, must first be approved by the Council. GLF President Quenton Robinson explained, “An office in a more populated area would give gays an ample opportunity to learn to cope with public dismay, whether rehl or imagined.” He added that if granted permission for relocation in Squire, it “would make it easier for UB homosexuals to join the organization because of its increased accessibility.” GLF Treasurer and SA Senator Mark Foxenburg explained, “With an increase in membership, we will be better able to organize moneymaking events, like dances and gay rights speakers.” He added that increased operating funds might be used for office phones and gay-related literature or as donations to “conscience raising” events such as the October 14 National March on Washington in support of the repealing of allegedly discriminatory laws. The <3LF, recognized by SA in 1971 and as a minority organization last semester, was established according to Foxenburg “to fight for equal rights and to fulfill the needs of the gay community.” ■ ■ ’ Peace Corps Representatives of the Peace Corps and VISTA will be on campus October IS, 16 and 17.

We invite you to Join us for a search to meaning of life and for Christian Fellowship. Halloween came to Buffalo a little early this year. Tuesday, the orange-clad Syracuse soccer team took all the treats, beating the UB Bulls 3-0 at the Rotary Field. Both teams played well; neither dominated the game. The first Syracuse goal, coming 24 minutes into the first half, seemed to distract the Bulls’ offense. UB’s momentum stalled in the 40-degree cold. “They didn’t have that good a team, just some good individual ball handlers,’’ explained UB forward Dave Simpkin. The lopsided score did not reflect the closeness of play—the Bulls brought the game to the visitors net often, only to be turned away. “It was just three lapses on our part, which they capitalized on,’’ UB halfback Scott Bleyle said. Bleyle, playing in the midfield line alongside Mike Marszalkowski, Jim Parker and Mike Chadwick was responsible for the disruption of many Syracuse drives, and also contributed to the Buffalo attack. University United Methodist Church 410 Minnesota Avenue Buffalo N.Y. 14215 634-7129 • , wa Big crowd The Bulls’ team spirit was sparked by the vocal crowd of about &0 partisans—dominated by the raised voices of the TKE fraternity, who provided some of the most colorful cheers heard at soccer matches. “I really appreciate the effort and cheers of the TKE fraternity,” coach Sal Esposito said. “It was a real help to the team having them out there.” At the half, the Orangemen held a 1-0 advantage, but within nine minutes of play into the second half Syracuse charged the home net and nailed the second tally past UB goalie Mark Celeste. 15 minutes later the Orangemen again beat the Bulls’ defense for the final score. Action remained heavy around both goals for the rest of the contest, but it was clear that UB was not playing with the same intensity seen in last Saturday’s 2-1 win over previously unbeaten Houghton. A common feature of a winning team is to give the appearance of having more players than the other side. Tuesday it seemed as if there were 15 Syracuse carrots running rampant on the field, out-muscling the 11 UB players. At times, the Bulls seemed to lack the will to move, allowing the Orangemen to roam the length of the field. In earlier UB matches, there was no let down until the final buzzer, but against Syracuse the locals did not possess that extra second half drive. The Bulls are looking for revenge after this game, and they intend to take it out on LeMoyne College this Saturday in Syracuse.

Right now the chances of him getting back in action are very slim.” Coach Bill Dando’s plans for tomorrow’s game at Albany State include replacing Quatrani with Joe Licata who saw extensive action in the Canisius contest—making three catches for 32 yards. “They (the Great Danes) won’t respect Licata as much as Gary," Dando predicted. “But that should benefit Licata, who v also ha* burning speed.” The coach expects Licata to fill Quatrani’s shoes as well as his other replacements who have stepped in to take injured starters’ open spots. “We can’t keep losing key personnel, byt thejiubsUtutes are doing their job.” Dando said. 10-0, and Southern Connecticut, 20-0. But Dando is not worried about the Danes' defense, and in fact plans to put up some points against it. "I don't expect them to shut us out," Dando confidently stated. “We feel we can take advantage of their defense. The linebackers will be 'gaming' a lot, shooting gaps, and it’s tough for the offensive linemen to flick them up. But we’ll be throwing a lot to overcome that problem." Dando would like to take advantage of Albany's fumbling reputation, which is obviously a direct result of the Danes’ extensive running game. "We’re counting on them to fumble seven or eight times," the coach revealed. Dando expects his defense to make their own breaks, and facilitate the offense's job.

ICanisiusG riffins with 7 —0 win IJr Wr I Only four days after the UB football Bulls were upset by Canisius College, the UB Royals tennis team shut out the Griffins netters in a lopsided match Wednesday, 7-0. Buffalo strengthened their late season record to 6-4 as coach Connie Camnitz' players handily turned away their opponents, allowing only two sets to each match. In the singles competition, first year player,. Debbie DiCarlo overpowered Karen -Utz in a 6-2, 6-1 landslide. Playing under 40-degree weather, DeCarlo's game warmed up quickly. “I was really cold at first but once things got going, I was okay." Utz allowed most of her points through ,serve returns. Buffalo’s DiCarlo excelled in the backcourt, allowing few balls to pass her by. DiCarlo, however, had her difficulties approaching the net, finding herself at times unable to return Utz’ well-placed strokes. Th«J Royals featured other individual winners who withstood the cold breezes and slippery rain. UB captain DeeDe Fisher produced over Kathy Kujawa a 6-3,6-1 victory. Third singles’ Heidi Juhl boosted her individual record to 8-2 as she out maneuvered Canisius’ Susie Lapetina with her dominant backhand. Juhl’s only setbacks have come at the hands of St. Lawrence and Brockport State. Fourth singles victory honors went to UB senior Kitty Higgens, whose experienced backhand produced a 6-3, 6-1 win over joy Schweitzer. Buffalo also excelled in doubles competition, as Lynda Stidham and Carol Waddell master a 6-2, 6-1 victory over Mary Dillon and Lori Sturges: The UB pair handed Canisius several points in net balls although in the end emerging victorious. ‘‘They have to be consistent,” demanded Camnitz. The two athletes indeed demonstrated consistency and unity in earning the victory. The Royals' second doubles team remained undefeated, notching an easy win over Lauren Annino and Any Kelley. The duo of Lynne Kirchmaier and Sharon Wolsky increased thenoverall record to 4-0, as they swept their match 6-3, 6-1. The Canisius combo was hard-hitting in the first set "but UB held together and triumphed.

Other teams include Buffalo State, Cortland State and Plattsburgh State. The UB Mad Turtles, who sport a 3-1 log, will have to come up with one of their better efforts to take home a trophy. After defeating LeMoyne, 38-0, and swamping RIT 52-0, the Turtles recorded a close 10-4 win over a tough Rome squad. But this past weekend, Buffalo saw its victory skein stopped by eastern powerhouse Cornell, 25-0. All men’s teams in tomorrow’s event will be vying for a trophy in both the “A” and “B” divisions, while the women—from Buffalo State, Brockport, Cortland, Oswego and Binghamton—will compete for the women’s trophy. Incidentally, the games will be followed by a free beer party. Although Americans often view rugby as the English version of football, American football is actually a refinement of its ancestor. Tracing its origins back to 19th Century England, rugby is presently played in major countries such as France, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand, Japan and Great Britain. * Rules of the game The object of the game is to carry the ball—which very much resembles a football—over the opponent’s goal line, scoring a “try.” The sides consist of 15 players—eight burly forwards and seven fleet-footed backs—who play for 80 minutes, with a five-minute halftime for recuperation. The forwards, called the “pack” or “scrum,” have the task of gaining possession of the ball, utilizing mostly brute force, although skill also comes in handy. The backs take the ball and run, pa§s and kick their way to the goal line to score points. One referee and two touch judges officiate and control the game. The ref is there to make sure that there are no illegal forward passes or knocks, and to prevent any other illegal or dangerous actions. The only way to gain ground is to either kick or carry the ball forward. Only lateral and backward passing is allowed. The player with the ball may be tackled, but no one else. If the ball carrier is tackled, play does not stop; the nearest player picks up the ball and continues. A penalty kick is awarded w&en play is blown dead for any of the following reasons: A player blocks or obstructs the opposition in any way; a player is tackled dangerously or tripped; the ball is not released when a player is tackled; or a player touches the ball offside. A try is worth four points, with two points added for a conversion. A converted penalty kick counts for three points. —John Lanahan �classified M/F OVERSEAS JOBS summer/year round. Europe, S.

Attrition is the University’s term for students leaving the school, dropping out, or “stopping out.” In a report submitted to President Robert L. Kettcr’s office by UB Associate Director for Systems and Research Peter Wittemann. he explained that reasons varied both in degree and intensity. However, the most outstanding cause for leaving, he said, involved the size of this University. “The major results indicate that the item referring to the size of the institution is the major contributing factor for non-returning,” he said. Teaching was cited as the second largest factor. Over SO percent of the students who thought the University too large, also were dissatisfied with the instruction. Ranking high in this category as agents for discontent were poor teacher-student relationships, the inability to understand instructors or teaching assistants and overcrowded classes. Wittemann called student response which dwelt on excessive chanting and tremendous emphasis on grades, indicators of a “very crucial problem.” He said,, “One response from a student indicated this type of activity (cheating) to prevail in the School of Management.” Question attritioncd population Also cited by students who have left the University was a lack of DUE and faculty advisement. “It appears as though the need for better on Pag* IS— • The Vol. 30, No. 23/SUNY at Buffalo/10 October 1979 distributed frs* to the University communlty/llmlt ons copy par person Ketter’s self-review completed: evaluators to examine almost any other publicly supported institution. But the 50 year old Ketter admitted, "Many of our frustrations however, result from policies and/or procedures that are of our own making." Placing this University in a context of competing resources (in both the public and private higher education sectors), Ketter asserted that "The University has continued to progress towards its goal of becoming one of the nation’s distinguished institutions. It has acted to help itself.” However, he pointed out that UB’s status has not come easily not will it get any easier. The continuous battles of allocating and re-allocating resources, fighting for construction monies, evaluating future educational directions in an environment darkened by decreasing enrollment figures and possible loss of fiscal support, are just a few of the issues upon which Ketter touches. The following are some of the President’s main points: Administration—Its make-up has changed significantly. There will have to be frequent and direct communication between Vice Presidents, the Graduate and Undergraduate Deans along with Faculty Deans given a school of this size and complexity. Changes in the administrative officers have produced a stronger administration. Communication—”1 believe that the channels of communication to and from the President are open and that the business of the University is discussed openly and by Dulei S. Parker ” . EdHor-in-Chitf “This institution will prevail. UB President Robert L. Ketter’s “Statement of Stewardship/’portraying the University and its administration as seen through his eyes and later to be scrutinized by a team of evaluators, has been finalized. Although the document was slated to be publicly released Friday,' The Spectrum obtained a copy and reprinted it in full. The new presidential evaluation guidelines require the Statement, designed to serve as Ketter’s self-assessement, to be publically released. It will become the first piece of information used by the three-person evaluation team to judge Ketter. The document—which cannot exceed 20 pages and in actuality is only 15—will bfc submitted to the University Council at its meeting Friday. Council Chairman Robert I. Millonzi was to have been responsible for releasing it after Friday’s meeting. Ketter’s Statement is highlighted by his desire to remain in his current post. The President, who has held that title since 1970, announced in August that he had requested of SUNY Chancellor Clifton R.Wharton that he commence the presidential evaluation process. ” Ketter’s 4Statement of Stewardship’ Pp. 9-12' frankly.” Educational Direction—There should be greater interaction between the University’s two divisions. Health Sciences and Academic TifTafrs. Leadership of academic units hat never been stronger. Declining resources and necessary funding shifts will force many difficult decisions in the next few years. Research, Teaching, and Service—The progress we make in research will depend almost exclusively upon the initiative and industry of individual faculty members. The University is creating new programs that will meet the needs of students. It has also enlarged its public servicerole within the community. Budget and Construction— Declining enrollments forecast a stormy future and the University must develop a strategy to meet enrollment projections. Facilities—“We obviously could achieve an immensely better atmosphere for students as well as faculty and staff, if construction of our physical facilities had proceeded during the past decade according to schedule.” External Relations—The competition between public and private higher education.coupled with the State’s decision to fully support the City University of New York, will both complicate the University’s goal to improve. “It is, as it always has been, a matter of dicsipline and will and courage, for these are necessary if one is to prevail and not merely According to the evaluation guidelines, the Presidential Statement should concentrate on "Conditions of the Campus, with particular reference to administration in recent past, the present, and the immediate future.” Many believe that the document will serve as an agenda for the evaluation team’s review. The document itself is divided into eight subsections; an introduction; Administration and Organization; Communication; Education Direction; Research, Teaching, and Service; Budget and Construction; Facilities; and External Relations and Issues. In preparing the Statement, Ketterbpted to “highlight” both campus conditions and presidential activity—rather than detailing a history of his past 10 years. / Distinguished Throughout the report, the President emphasized both external and internal pressures restricting the University and limiting him. He echoed the sentiments of a 1960’s Governor’s Committee on Higher Education which said: “State University as a whole appears to have less administrative and management freedom of operation than persevere.” FSA funds to improve student life all gone .. by Joe Simon Campus Editor division of UB’s A Attrition/Retention Committee has allocated virtually all of the $25,OCX) given it by the Faculty-Student Association to fund programs designed to improve student life here, much to the lament ofStudent Association (SA) leaders. So far, almost S22.000 has been allocated to four separate proposed The programs. development of signs in the Ellicott Complex received SI 500; the construction of a recreational facility known as a “Par Cours” for the Amherst Campus cost $2500; an alcohol prevention program was funded $7500; and SI0,400 was ear-marked for the purchase of cross country skis, snow shoes, ice skates and mountain climbing equipment. Both SA President Joel Mayersohn and GSA President Joyce Pinn indicated that some of the money might have gone to better use. The $25,000 that FSA gave the Attrition/Retention Committee was part of a $500,000 equity resulting from FSA’s sale of University Bookstores last year to the Follett Corporation. A University-wide Programming Committee was formed to distribute portions of the $25,000 to any program intending “to make this University a better place to —continued on page 18— Inside: Because, because, because . .

With the bicycle becoming a realistic alternative for a majority of fhcsc economic victims, Buffalo’s lack of adequate bike routes has become glaringly evident. Assemblyman William Hoyt (D-Buffalo) told The Spectrum that every year since 1975, there have been proposals to build bike paths along new highways and those under construction. “Only one to two percent of the state gasoline tax need be set aside for bikeways to become a reality,” he insisted. Spokesman for the Albany Tax Research Department Howard Brock reported that from a whopping $473 million dollars in motor vehicle revenues over the past years, only seven million would be allocated for proposals such as Hoyts. “But repeatedly these proposals have been blocked by the oil cartel and automobile lobbying groups,” claimed Hoyt. New waterfront route In light of>'these setbacks, Buffalo Community Development Supervisor Ronald Empric has announced plans for a 3.S million pedestrian/bikeway system to be built along the Niagara River. The Riverwalk Project, backed by a combination of city, state, and federal funds, will stretch its approximately seven-mile route from Riverside Park to the Erie Basin Marina. Emperic admitted that a lack of local funding will force heavy reliance on government monies. Subsequently, area contractors will have to take a back seat in favor of government guidelines for the project. Director of the Urban Waterfront Advisory Committee James Carr, a force behind the Riverwalk route, emphasized the need for stronger area support towards Riverwalk’s completion or for others to even get started. “There is still a maze of problems for Riverwalk including a very important maintenance agreement, leasing of government owned property and approval by Thruway and Sewer Authorities,” he stressed. Aimed at increasing economic development for the downtown and waterfront area, the project has been in the making for three years now and should be under way by next fall. Maintenance In question The county for unspecified reasons has backed out of a maintenance agreement for the Rivcrwalk and has left upkeep for the new bikeway another major question for project coordinators. About f|ve years ago, the city’s Parks Commission failed in its efforts to maintain an experimental bikeway extending from downtown LaSalle park up to Delaware Park through a scries of side streets. The route, complete with signs and marked pavement, has since ben neglected and vandalized—all blamed on lack of funding and cutbacks. Correction Due to a typographical error, a story on tenure appearing in Monday’s paper read that the Presidential Review Board voted 40-1 for Professor Nowaks tenure. It should have read 4-0-1.

Police statistics have revealed that during 1978, there were 356 bicycle related accidents involving 362 people in the city of Buffalo alone. Of these 362, five were fatal and another 200 were serious enough for hospitalization. Except for a winding route through Delaware Park, bikeways arc literally non-existent within cjjyj limits. Consequently, area bicycling enthusiasts arc pedaling for increased construction of bike routes and safer conditions for the bikers. “The public will have to be made aware of the importance of the bike route issue if more paths are to be built,” maintains NYPIRG Project Coordinater Frank Butterini. “And with the Millersport Highway being expanded, this is a ripe time for a designated path to be laid out for students commuting between campuses,” he claimed.

Last Spring. leading feminist and scholar Lillian Robinson’s resignation stirred turbulence in the Women’s Studies Program. Two other professors, who are oh temporary leave this semester, were also left unreplaced at the end of last semester. This void in Women’s Studies Program faculty could have spelled disaster for the Women’s Studies Program and Women’s Studies College, according to Acting Chairman of American Studies Charles Keil The three faculty positions are funded through the* University’s Women’s Studies Program under the wing of American Studies in the Faculty of Arts & Letters. The salaried faculty—or “lines”—are then lent to Women's Studies College. Women’s Studies College and American Studies officials were concerned that the University fill the void not only with permanent appointments, but top quality people. Robinson was replaced by Sharon Leder —a graduate from New York University with a doctorate in Victorian Literature. Elizabeth Kennedy, who is on sabbatical, was replaced by UB graduate Wanda Edwards—who has a Masters in American Studies with a concentration in Women’s Studies. Sharon Duboise—who is teaching in California while researching Women’s Studies on a Rockefeller grant—is replaced by Elizabeth Weston. Last year. Acting Chairman of American Studies \ * j f.

Keil was uncertain of locating qualified replacements even if money were stiB available for the program under Faculty of Arts and Letters. Keil feared enrollment might drop. Assistant Director of American Studies June Liscence saidlhat enrollment figures have not changed in the Women’s Studies Program. Keil, who is on leave, noted, “I have not been in touch with the facts- needed to make an assessment of the life of the American Studies Program.” Supporters of the Women’s Studies College dte the quality of the program here. Late this spring, the National Association of University Women honored the Women’s Studies College with a Women's Studies award, said Co-Coordinator Trisha Franzen. The key difference between Women’s Study Program and Women’s Studies College is that anyone—provided she takes the introductory course and a theory course—can teach in the Women’s Studies College. A welfare insight course is taught by Elaine Sacco, a community resident and welfare mother, through the College’s program. But the Women’s Studies Program, a branch of American Studies, is a degree-awarding program that requires courses taught by professors. Women’s Studies College does not have a degree program, but staff and' members arc organizing a committee to construct a bachelors proposal. The American Studies Program PHD proposal is up for review this fall. Bachelors and masters can be awarded with concentrations in any one of its three branches—Puerto Rican Studies, Native American Studies and the Women’s Studies Program. . . . „ —Garry Preneta Staff of tha Woman's Studies Coll The holes in the program were filled Black Studies chair believes program at rock bottom Editor’s, note: This is the first in a series of articles detailing the plight of the University’s underpublicized Department of Black Studies. by John Lapiana Spectrum Staff Writer UB’s five-year-old Black Studies program is facing an uphill battle to become a viable University department, charged Chairman of the Department of Black Studies James , Pappas. Pappas cited a “growing national trend that is affecting Blacks in education as part Of his department’s obstacles. Included in that trrtid are: the Bakke decision, 1Which the scope of affirmative action; the >lack unemployment rate—estimated at over 40 percent—and housing. The University’s commitment, spawned in the late sixties, to Black Studies is no longer there, Pappas declared, pointing tp Administration “claims” of support for the beleaguered department which result in “very'little resources.” There is a “suspicion” felt by the Black Studies faculty that the Administration finds it easier to cut the Department’s budget because of the declining of social concern toward Blacks and the country’s growing conservatism which deems minority interests less {itnSted important. Pappas concedes that budgetary constraints are a “universal problem” at UB. Budget cuts make things “hairy” for everyone, bjp are especially hard on the small, specialized departments such as Black Studies. Faculty cuts, compounded by a boom in enrollments, have hit the' department hardest. Since department status was granted in 1974, the faculty lines have been cut in half. For the 708 students participating in Black Studies’ courses there are only three full-time professors. The extremely heavy workload, explained Pappas, is causing “demands really beyond expectations” for the depleted teaching staff. To handle the rising influx of students, the Department must employ the assistance of faculty from other departments as well as rely on Buffalo ’ area volunteers. Students’ concern The methods of teaching and the students’ “desire and need for relevancy” that Black Studies can offer are, Pappas believes, the incentives that attract most students. The faculty is "conscious of the importance of the media” and knows how to relate that awareness to the classroom. Black studies most popular course is Pappas’ “Blacks in Films” which successfully uses the media to make the class more relevant. “The stand-up lecturer,” Pappas 'explained, “is just not fashionable anymore.” Despite innovative teaching and rising enrollments, the Department’s plight is well known to its students. The faculty-student ratio has doubled in recent years, but with the help of teaching assistants has been held to 24.3 to 1. “Students have come to me and are concerned over the continuance of the Department. They want to know what is going to happen,” Pappas said. “They know we are at rpek bottom and nothing more can be taken away.” Besides having to fight for more resources, the Department has had to battle for its autonomy. Earlier this year, there was a move to make Black Studies a part of the Social Sciences Department. The attempt failed following stiff opposition from many Music Editor should attend the B-52’s Thursday evening performance because 1) They are America’s greatest dance bad. 2) They’ve created incredible musical waves from the unlikely home of Athens, Georgia. 3) The B-52’s are currently one of the hottest actors in New York City (in particular, the infamous Mudd Club). 4) They’ve boosted VO-5 hair spray sales (see reason no You 11) 5) Their debut album is currently number one on the Planet Claire. 6) Les femmes Francois ne portent pas les bouffants. 7) Their independently produced single, “Rock Lobster,” is one of the finest autonomous recording attempts ever. 8) Members Cindy Wilson and Kate Pierson once starred as the soundtrack for “Attack .of the Fifty Foot Woman.” 9) The B-52’s irrepressible dance beat had all of McVan’s bopping like mad, March of this year. 10) This concert is brought to you by the UUAB music committee, the same people that brought you the amazing Southside Johnny and the Asbury Jukes show. 11) A B-52 is a Southern slang term for a smooth, large, high bouffant hairdo (see reason no. six). 12) Singer Fred Schneider III drives, a Bel Air, not a Plymouth Sattellite. “The advantage of being an Pappas noted, “is that we can have majors gnd apply credit.” Pappas has submitted a plan he feels will help establish Black Studies as a viable department. The first part states that a name change— to Afro-American Studies—is essential to the program’s future. “The title Black has become outdated as a credible department name,” Pappas said, “AfroAmerican reflects a conscience of change.” Biggest hurdle Although the Department has been turned down before, Pappas claims the addition of an African historian would establish continuity, focus attention on the' Department’s viability, “and form a fundamental bridge between Africa and the students’ studies.” Acting historian for the department Keith Henry has an extremely “overloaded schedule,” but a replacement was turned down by the Administration for “economic reasons.” Pappas said, “We still have a pool of qualified candidates. We’re just waiting for the okay.” Perhaps the biggest hurdle immediately facing the troubled department is the denial of Henry’s tenure which was approved at the department level but denied at the personnel level by Dean pf Social Sciences Kenneth Levy. Pappas believes that the tenure committee “couldn’t understand Henry’s specialized area and nobody knew how to deal with it.” A new personnel committee has been set up to hear the appeal. If Henry’s appeal fails, his appointment will be terminated and the already undermanned department will be down to two full-time faculty members. The final phase of Pappas’ plan for Black Studies would be for General Education to establish an Affirmative Action mandate that would force all students to take an Affirmative Action course from cither Black. Women’s or Puerto Rican Studies. “These courses should be a part of the student’s educational experience,’’ Pappas said, “They give the student a better sense of other cultures.” He speculated that if this was passed, an expansion of Black Studies would be justified. Negativity The decline of Black Studies, according to Pappas, can be traced to 1973 when the Black Student Union (BSU) made certain demands—some of winch included the Black Studies program—to University President Ketter. His reply to the BSU underscores what many, feel is Ketter’s seemingly Negative attitude towards the Department. “We do even for little in solving problems when the best of motives they are stated in the form of demands’’,' wrote Ketter,“even when there are more fruitful ways of genuine. approaching the matter.” This attitudle by the administration makes it very difficult to approach them with any problems, noted Pappas. After these demands, he said, the decline of the Department began. Although the Department is getting little assistance from the UB Administration, Pappas has hope that the Chancellor’s Committee on Afro-American Studies, which visited this campus in late September, will lead to some relief. Formation of the committee, designed to evaluate and make recommendations to the Chancellor of the SUNY system on the status of Black Studies programs, was important to Pappas. Pappas was doubtful however, as to whether the Administration will heed its advice. . . . . . thetomorrow B-52’s play here 52 reasons to see by Tim Switala sides. independent department like psychology,” 13) All members of the B-52’s are single. 14) Opening the show will be Buffalo’s greatest rock ’n’ roll bands THE JUMPERS. 15) Cindy Wilson and Kate Pierson are not Sick Girls. 16) Guitarist Ricky Wilson is Cindy’s brother. 17) Drummer Keith Strickland in not Cindy’s brother but will amaze you anyways with his masterful, up-tempo beats. 18) Aitaki Hac He Ctpawytg. 19> Tickets arc priced at $3 for students, $4 for others, and are available at Squire Hall Ticket Office. 20) Carter’s phasing out of the B-l bomber has saved the B-52’s from recent extinction. 21) The Jumpers are currently hard to see in between moves to New York City to complete a record contract. 22) The show will be held in the quaint intimacy of Squire Hall’s .Fillmore Room. 23) The B-52’s have warmed-up a number of . shows for ,.

H An article in the Buffalo Evening Ntws noted that the State Education Department has released evidence in State Supreme Court indicating that 81 out ofl2,500 applicants had advance copies of the Nursing Boards. “Meager proof," the News quoted nurses’ attorney Daniel McDonald as responding, “for rejecting the results of everyone who took the exam.” Bimer explained to the crowd of 250, that the group plans to “attack two the decision from angles—through the courts and the Legislature on Friday." Earlier that day, Assemblyman John Shcffcr (R—Williamsville) filed a bill asking the New York State Legislature to reverse Ambadh’s decision. The Legislature, meeting special session on November 1, could reverse the test’s invalidation by a resolution. McDonald explained at the meeting what strategy he would implement in State Supreme Court on Friday. “We are asking the court to decide the issue based on the nurses’ petition and the State’s answer,” he claimed. However, the young lawyer was unable to evaluate thf,outcome. “1 can’t say what our chances arc at this point, ■ but with four or five lawyers there from around the state, I’m sure every possible argument will be made.” Birner then implored the contingent to step up their efforts through donations and petitions. The group is aiming for 10,000 - signatures. One uniformed nurse, sitting in the carpeted aisle, echoed the fears of everyone involved, “This thing needs a miracle worker.” Although a miracle is what may be necessary, the -nurses are convinced that victory ultimately depends on their fund raising efforts. “We need money for lawyer fees and for calling in experts to testify in court,” said Birncr. “We need money to send out letters,” added treasurer Tina Motyka, “but our total now, $1500, just isn’t enough.” The group hopes to “get going something constant and consistent as far as fund raising goes.” To get the ball rolling, the Locker Room on Delaware Avenue has agreed to sponsor aU-the-becr-you-can-drink night every Monday, where T-shirts will be sold displaying the message, “I didn’t cheat on the Nursing Boards.” Northern Tier Pipeline from Washington to Minnesota by Marc Sherman Environmental Editor The Federal government is presently reviewing a proposal by several major corporations including U.S. Steel and Westiaghouse. that would promote construction of the largest American crude oil pipeline ofits kind. The proposed Northern Tier Pipeline would transport Alaskan and foreign oil from the state of ! Washington to Minnesota. , politicians Several corporations pipeline and slew the r as the solution to the glut of Alaskan oil that West coast refineries arc incapable of processing. Currently the excess Alaskan crude is shipped by barge (town foe Pacific coastline, through the Panama Canal, and refined on the East coast. Congress resolved in 1978 that a west-to-east pipeline should be built as a cheaper and faster alternative to foe tong ocean voyage. ’ '! , SKY-DIVING INSTRUCTION uncie AT WYOMING COUNTY PARACHUTE CENTER * * ■ * 2l - ■ f' 4 » Open 6 days a week. Cal Now For Rosoivafions 457-9680 Senatorial support “There is overwhelming Senatorial support for the pipeline,” Senator John Mclcher of Montana told The Spectrum. Melcher explained that the “Northern Tier” states, including Montana and North Dakota, face severe cutbacks from Canada, their usual supplier. The new pipeline would serve Northern Tier refineries directly, parry the most oil, and be safest for the environment. Other pipeline proposals that involve passage through Canada have been dismissed by the Departments- of Agriculture and Energy. These agencies cited the “national security” benefits from a pipeline that is kept within American borders. The American Petroleum Institute is also a pipeline supporter. Jerry Hurley of the API told The Spectrum, “It's uneconomical the way the oil is being handled now. It’s energy-wasteful loo.” Hurley complained of the “slew of regulatory requirements” that he said delay pipeline construction, noting that one proposal was abandoned due to 800 required permits. l «m's 2525 Walden Avenue 685-3100 Senator Melcher convinced Congress to conduct an “expedient review” of the pipeline to circumvent such bureaucratic red tape. “The need for the pipeline is immediate, and we were afraid the process would drag out,” explained Melcher. This type of “fast track” review is similar to the type proposed bt'President Carter for crucial energy projects. • Environmental opposition Environmental groups contend that expedient review denies adequate public participation at the expense of environmental quality. June tUll of the National Wildlife Federation cited several negative impacts of the pipeline—such as wildlife disruption, oil spills, pollution, and soil erosion. “Fifty percent of the elk herd in Montana’s Lolo National Forest would he wiped out,” Hall told The Spectrum. Hall also noted the inevitable opposition to a deepwater port at Port Angeles, Washington, that is necessary for the pipeline. “The Department of Interior doesn’t even have an environmental assessment of that proposed port,” Hall said. Hall also dismissed the “national security” benefits of the pipeline, noting that it relies on foreign oil as well as Alaskan crude. Hurley defended the environmental soundness of the pipeline, explaining that its underground placement would minimally disturb the environment. But Hall said that pipeline breaks and spills frequently pollute the water, endangering wildlife and rural water supplies. She added that spills in remote areas take |a long time to even be discovered, increasing environmental degradation. According to Hall, a major impasse so far is the lack of “throughput agreements,” in which oil suppliers and refiners agree to exchange oil through the pipeline. Melchcr explained that “there are never throughput agreements until the pipeline is assured of construction.” Melchcr expressed optimisih of President Carter’s approval of the project. Carter will be deciding before the end of this year. * •- ■ ' WEDNESDAY NIGHT Rock N’ Roll $3 cover guys I $2 cover girls - 25c DRINKS $1.00 Off Cover with College I.D. BUFFALO’S LARGEST PARTY BAR �~r Asbestos -V ■ Editor’s note: A UB med student describes the medico! hazard of asbestos —a carcinogen which has threatened occupants of UB’s Baird HaUfor years. by David Gottacgea Spectrum Staff Writer This week. Madcr Construction Company a hanging ceiling to cover those laden with asbestos in Baird Hall’s basement practice rooms. Baird Hall occupants, disturbed by the presence of asbestos and its related health hazard, are not alone in their concern. Asbestos insulation—banned for building construction in 1972—may be a problem at over 200 college campuses, according to a report in the Chronical of Higher Education lastSpring. Xdditionaily, the United States uses one million tons of the fibrous material every year. Asbestos fibers are only one type of a large number of “inorganic dusts’* which may cause respiratory diseases called pneumoooncoses. Other dangerous, related materials include particles of carbon, tin, iron, silica, berylium, and coal. When a person inhales the microscopic asbestos fibers in the air, they are sucked into, and possibly lodged in, the lungs. When the asbestos fiber, or any foreign particle, reaches the lungs, protective cells (macrophages) rush out to surround it. But unlike other kinds of dust, asbestos is too big or indigestable to be consumed. The macrophages can only envelope the fiber, as they do the coal and tar particles which give cigarette smokers’ lungs their characteristic blackened color. (One reason cigarette smoking greatly increases a person’s vulnerability to asbestos-related dangers is that cigarette smoke distracts snany macrophages away from protective action, experts believe.) began work on . Work begun on Baird Hail health hazard now nationwide i. Macrophages may fuse around the asbestos fiber to form giant cells with many nuclei. As in tuberculosis and other infectious diseases, connective tissue spreads like spider's silk from each reaction site tad eventually throughout a large portion of the lung. The process is slow hut insidious. Hence, a 10 to 20-year lag time between exposure to asbestos and the appearance of the related disease called asbestosis. And even low concentrations of the material are suspect. But when the web of fibrosis has extended to a significant portion of the lungs, it begins to block capillaries and may thicken to form a white, calcified plaque on the surface of the lung. The person who contacted asbestos has by now developed the dry cough and shortness of breath characteristic of asbestosis. Asbestos-related disease usually results in dearth from respiratory infection or from cancer. According to the latest edition of Pathological Basis of Disease, there is a IS percent chance of developing a form of lung cancer within 20 to 40 years after the diagnosis of asbestosis is made. This is 10 times the risk facing a healthy non-smoker, but roughly equivalent to that of a smoker. In addition, the asbestos victim’s chances of developing cancer of the gastro-intestinal tract is double that of another person’s and his chance of developing the rare incurable cancer afflicting the membrane around the lungs—mesothelioma—is 7 percent, or 1000 times that of the general population. Environmental exposure The reason that asbestos can cause cancer is unknown, though the fiber might act by refining and multiplying the action of cancercausing substances like smoke. Studies show that the risk of cancer for smokers with asbestosis is 90 times that of the general population. - ,tari , ' ‘ . ..

Asbestosis is much like other chronic, progressive respiratory diseases, but asbetos leaves its own distincitive mark in the lungs. “Asbestos bodies” or fibers covered with protein, mucus, and iron from damaged red blood cells indicate the presence of asbestos. -But asbestos bodies are not only found in diseased lungs. Autopsies have revealed that they are part of the debris accumulating in most city dwellers* lungs. According to a report by the National Research Council of the National Academy of Sciences, the lungs of a person who enjoys some liberal slaps of talcum powder after a shower, may trap—permanently—some of the asbestos fibers contained in the talc. Additionally, families of pipe-fitters and others who work with asbestos face an increased risk of developing mesothelioma and other associated cancers, wrote physicians in a study published last Spring in the medical journal, Lancet. study in the Music Department’s Baird Hall. The levels of asbestos, which ranged from .01 to .04 fibers per cubic centimeter, were well under the federal standard of 2 fibers per cc, set by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). But asbestos levels can always vary with the changing vibrations of forceful trumpeters or enthusiastic drummers. And OSHA’s standard does not include fibers under S microns in length. These particles are too small to collect and measure without an electron miscrope, but experts fear these smaller fibers may do more damage to the lungs than the larger measurable ones. Also, many scientists say that there are no safe levels for any potential carcinogen, like asbestos. The workers installing the hanging ceiling in the practice rooms and corridors of Baird Hall, will not wear the protective, disposable masks, gloves, overalls and boots now required for working with asbestos material. A company spokesman said the present ceiling will not be disturbed, so no asbestoscontaining material wUlT& handled directly.

Its critics charge the University Admjnlstratipn with pork- barrelling, its supporters say they deserve the bacon. James Pappas, Chairman of the Department of Black Studies, maintains that his program has been snorted at. He points out that since Black Studies was granted Department status In 1974, faculty lines have been cut in half. Now, one of the Department’s three professors, Keith Henry, has been denied tenure* Pappas is legitimately concerned that if Henry's appeal falls, Black Studies—already undermanned—will permanently lose one of its three lines. Pappas’ charged that the Administration became reluctant to fund Black Studies after the Black Student Union (BSU) demanded support for the program In 1973. At that time, UB President Ketter wrote that “there are more fruitful ways of approaching the matter” than by making demands. Perhaps Ketter is right In asserting that positive results are best accomplished by logical debate rather than through demands. But, Pappas claims the University’s unwillingness to support his Department, can be traced to 1973 politics. The lesson at this University Is a clear cllched one: Don't bite the hand that feeds you. But It is understandable that when debate falls to produce fruitful results, or when true debate doesn’t exist at all, then other tactics may be necessary. This Is not to endorse scare tactics or threats—it just shows that leadership is lacking. It seems that money Is always at the crux of the matter. In programs and politics, directions and desires, committees’ and curricula, the question is: “How can we best spend our money?” What is lost by this question is the real issue: How can this University provide the most for Its students? This is the Issue that requires broad consideration, University-wide examinaition, rational and long range planning. Accepting the constraints or the status quo—and then putting nickels in different jars is merely sidestepping academic debate. It creates destructive debate—one that pits Arts & Letters against Management, Humanities against Engineering, Professional schools against experimental programs. * Spent unwisely This same lack of leadership allowed Vice President for Student Affairs Richard Siggelkow to spend over one year compiling his Attrition/Retention report—and come up with 101 ways to improve student life. The items in a shopping list are not prioritized, not placed in order of importance or feasibility—just completed. Now UB can say, "We’re dealing with the situation." Ketter made Siggelkow go back and order his committee's shopping list, arranging it is some sequence of what can and should be done first. But in the meantime, an Attrition subcommittee started to allocate its $25,000 budget. Siggelkow's Committee has spent all but $3100 of that money. All the little pigs at this University, who legitimately don’t want their houses to crumble or be knocked down by the Big Bad Wolf—UB’s Administration—are upset. So now they are clamoring that the money wasn’t spent legitimately. It was allocated on a first-come, first-serve basis; the University community wasn’t approached for suggestions; and the money could have been spent more wisely. Spending over $10,000 for outdoor ski equipment to be rented to students should not have been a priority. But the crux of the issue goes beyond how the money was spent, and centers on “Why.” The piggy bank syndrome is just the result of a poorly run farm... and the animals here wilt continue to cry for more nourishment until someone starts to realize money does not come before education.

Dr. Beth said that the picture I presented “needs correction.” I stand by the facts in my September 21, 1979 letter, which discussed an incident in 1976 when Dr. Beth was put In charge of a course he apparently was not prepared to teach. In his reply to my letter, Dr. Beth defends himself by discussing a 1976 student petition as if it were "a protest against my removal from the course.” if one reads the petition (which was reprinted in the October 3 issue of The Spectrum), one sees that it is a complaint against the Physics of the Department’s handling matter—discussing Dr. Beth’s sudden assignment as well as his sudden removal. The petition does not discuss Dr. Beth’s teaching ability or whether he should have been retained as the course instructor.

Managing Editor Kathleen McDonough As I stated in my earlier letter, many students were displeased with Dr. Beth’s teaching of the 1976 course. But the fact that he was suddenly assigned to it makes that situation more comprehensible. It is clear that the 1976 situation Is not comparable to the current situation that Ray Bergan complained about in his September 17 letter to the editor. I, therefore suggest that Mr. Bergan and other students in Dr. Beth’s current Physics 107 class discsuss their complaints and suggestions openly with Dr. Beth. It wrould be unfair to Dr. Beth to go to the department chairman before discussing the matter with him. Marlon Russell Koenigsberg Spirits in the night —“ Editor-In-Chief Daniel S. Parker the former chairman of the Physics Department had taken actions that were unfair to both the students and Dr. Beth. There is a yellowed, jagged-edge article scotch-taped to my closet about these men: “The Purity and the Memories of Bill Bradley.” Between all the musical groupie paraphernalia on my walls, it stands alone and out of place; it looks old, and it feels old when I re-read it. A Rhodes Scholar who remembers this team as winners, but even more so as a team that played basketball“the way it should be played.” The way It should be played. To imply that any team played their game well enough to do the investor proud is a statement of immense proportions. To infer that your team played a game the way it should be played should should a team used a passing offense rather than a rushing offense? Will good pitching always beat good hitting? Is a zone defense more effective than man-to-nrian? The way it snoud be ... played ... I picture myself in fifty years, sitting on a moving stoop, telling some ten-year-old lad about this team. “There were these five men. Two of them, ya know, could have dominated the team by themselves, but that wasn’t the game plan. They had this coach, a guy named Red, and he molded the most unselfish team I've ever seen. And the most exciting to watch. Just once, one time, you want to point at something and know this is this, like that guy once said in the movies. No doubts, no maybes, no existential extents and degrees like they teach you in the more progressive schools today. Faith in the knowledge that what you once saw has not ever been repeated. It’s got something to go with what we used to call heroes. Ah, but that was long ago.” There is an appreciation, an awe, an adulation one feels when watching Namath pass orO.J. run or Brooks Robinson play third base. Or Koufax. Or Ali. Or Abdul-Jabbar. But magic magic comes along without pulling rabbits from hats. Magic is more a social beauty than an individual talent. It doesn’t catch you unaware, but rather it rivets you to the stage, to the screen, to the arena. No thought of talking, of transmitting true magic knows no intellectualizing. The first person who says “Wasn’t that excellent?” audibly should be slugged, you feel instinctively. Magic is to be inhaled, enjoyed, experienced once—it cannot be reproduced in snapshots. The Pack under Lombardi may have been the best that ever was, the Mets may have been amazing, the Canadiens may never know a peer in their sport, they were Knlcks magic. When the Knicks used to play the Lakers or the Warriors on the coast, I used to go to sleep at 10:55 (game time was 11:00). I’d say goodnight to my mother (yawn for effect), let her tuck me in, and then wheel that old mahogany-cased relic television close to my bed, turn it on, leave the sound off, and sit up—nose to screen—and watch those Knicks. Because listening to a Knick game was more frustrating than being in school during an afternoon World Series game. No Image, no description, no announcer, not even Marv Albert, could do justice to the Knick version of team basketball. No glory-hounds on my team, you could see coach thinking on the sidelines, as the ball jumped from hand-to-hand-to-hand-to-handto-hand-to-hoop.

Guest Opinion English-Management match—shadow boxing by Jay Rosan The combatants in this season's English vs. Management heavyweight bout apparently have every intention of dancing around the fundamental Issues they claim to raise with their life and death invective. Management is, as always, ready and witling to Bunn its opponents to death while English, as always, fails to examine its own fortitude in facing a crisis which they correctly call a threat to humanistic education at this University. There is little doubt that the University Administration has surrendered to the problem facing alt similar institutions—declining enrollments, narrowing student interests and decreasing State support. It has not surrendered totally through inaction, but It has chosen the most easily-imagined, easily-defended and easily-defeated solution; it has staged a calculated fall before higher education’s status quo, a status which—beneath all the hardship it has caused—neatly coincides with Robert Ketter’s plans for maintaining control of the institution he was called in to quiet ten years ago. Now, no one would claim that Ketter and company enjoy their predicament—when money is tight, everyone gets anxious. But they are satisfied enough with the fate of this University to make no move that might rescue it, no shift in philosophy dramatic enough to match the dramatic shifts In number they hide behind. This attitude was officially summoned in Bunn’s Academic Plan when he chose not to define what this University was, despite the considerable cause to debate that very question. The same attitude was sealed in this year's hifafiously optimistic State of the University address, in which Robert Ketter heralded the arrival of the “maturity” his administration has craved for years. For all but the stiffest loyalists, “maturity” is Ketter’s codeword for resignation. When you mature, you begin to accept, rather than fight those changes forced Uponr you. You make a virtue of the status quo. You quiet down. You make peace with your world. For Robert Ketter, the years before he assumed command were this University’s adolescence, where freedoms ran wild. He was Installed to reassert Authority and what better way to assert your own authority than to confer on everyone the soothing quality of maturity. Those who doubt that the present crisis of numbers merely reinforces Ketter’s impulse to control, treat themselves to the kind of ahistorical analysis students are supposed to be enjoying this decade. Just what has this man stood for all his public life? And just what does he commemorate with the proclamation of maturity? If Robert Ketter’s speech is on the mark—and, given the spirit of resignation on this campus, it probably is—then the “maturing” of a university caught in the trap of declining enrollments can only mean an accelerating slide toward mediocrity. An orderly mediocrity. Management’s classic defense of the status quo (the far, far easier hand to play) seeks to shred each claim that something else is possible. Left unexamined is the original worth of that something else, its context, its intent, its spirit. Management’s Howard Foster, always a reasonable man, does a good job of exposing fantasies, correcting distortions and emphasizing inevitables. But not once does he consider that besides appreciating a “no-win” situation the Administration may be helping it along through incompetence and insensitivity. Foster mistakes the responsibility of leading during a crisis for actual leadership. He can’t understand why people like Howard Wolf ignore the former and cry fo> the latter. For Foster, to face an unpleasant reality is to resist it; for Wolf, implies else. something resistance department has failed to adjust to the 1970’s. Much of tfje department still cringes at the thought of Teaching undergraduates, especially non-majors. Much of the department still wants to cling tolls specialty seminars (in low demand) teach Introductory and lets grad courses (in high' demand). Much of the department wants to avoid revising its curriculum to the degree needed, it greets a major crisis (indeed, the predicted death of the department) with modest or empty changes in course content, invoking academic legitimacy in the name of the ten or twelve students who wander into their classrooms. The same department that stands embittered toward an Administration with no “vision” churned out a strikingly similar course schedule for years, showing a dearth of imagination to go with its predictions of doom. The department has not taken any leadership role in cross-disciplinary team-taught courses which might attract students as something different. It has not experimented enough with its programs. The department could have had a minor Journalism sequence in place and working by now with a minimum of effort. It has not done all.it is asking of others. How about these: Leadership? Encourage the development of a strong undergraduate student association within the department that would provide a funnel of information and help keep and recruit students. Take the lead in teaching evaluation; steer the good teachers toward the most students and the poor teachers toward the least. Get all the big names down into the introductory courses In hopes that students will establish a personal relationship and enroll for the professors' upper level courses in succeeding semesters. Strike up a working relationship with all the publications on campus, lending advice and offering coursework related to campus journalism. The English department has preferred to play into the Administration’s hands by concentrating debate on faculty lines lost, by decrying cuts yet moving timidly against the forces which help create them. Its attempts to broaden the debate will fait as tong as numbers of faculty are the focus; Bunn and Ketter have rigged the game too well, Management and Engineering sit too comfortably in the driver’s seat, the humanities come off as cry-babies. The more central isues—leadership, vision, the definition of a university—are raised, then left to the rhetoricians and inevitably fade in the bureaucratic haze. They rest at the source of everyone’s dissatisfactions an must be brought to the forefront somehow. All the steam spouted off against faculty cuts has not disturbed an Administration fullyprepared for the attack on its infamous ratios. Ratios are not the problems. Minds which abuse them are. The English Department and every member of the University community ought to rebel against the corporate university Robert Ketter has built in the past decade. But the rebellion solar has been leaderless, self-serving and short-sighted: everything it abhors. Irving Spitzberg—with all his abrasiveness—has stood alone in publicly recognizing this contradiction. I have always been amazed by the faculty’s cries of desperation backed up by a listless, timid, do-nothing plan of action. If it is a crisis, then there ought to be a response worthy of it. Forgive me for my timelessness’but perhaps it is time to pick up the signs again. Perhaps It is time to show real courage, the courage to act and not' merely endure. Perhaps it is time to take some risks in this desperate predicament. There are dissatisfied people—students, faculty and staff—In every corner of this University. Perhaps it is time they all stopped maturing and got young again. > Unfortunately, he doesn’t tell us what. This may be a start: Arts and Letters have contended for years that it is both the Administration’s predicament and its predisposition toward the professional schools that is frustrating their efforts. They have contended that Bunn has deliberately used the former to obscure the latter. They have contended that the “trade-school” mentality Is a driving force in Capen Hall and that the enrollment crisis is another force, powerful enough to make outright display of the tradeschool mentality unnecessary. This is what defenders of the Administration have never come to grips with. Numbers win arguments now, so Howard Foster, who has the numbers on his side, dismisses the trade-school charge by dismissing it. He calls it fantasy, either naive or mischeivous. He calls for proof, but he will not consider the worth of the assumptions that can provide It. The shifts in student interests away from the humanities and toward the professional schools is real, but it Is not unmanagable. Yet it has gone unmanaged. The Administration has made no special effort to recruit students who have special talents and plan to major in the Arts and Sciences, although it provides a place for such students. The Administration has made no special effort to encourage students who arrive as directionless freshmen to explore realistic alternatives to professional programs, although it does provide advisement. The Administration has made no effort to study, analyze or otherwise question the narrow Interests of students, although It moved quickly to investigate the no less predictable phenomena of student attrition, which of course costs bucks. The Administration has encouraged poor teaching and discouraged good teaching, encouraged commodity treatment of students and discouraged Individual attention, encouraged cynicism about higher education and discouraged curiosity, encouraged bureaucratic hustling and discouraged honest effort—all of which work' In favor of the utilitarianism of the status quo and against the thinking, feeling, entropic disciplines. And they do so in ways Howard Foster Is sharp enough to imagine. The Ketter Administration has clearly made undergraduate education—and, in particular, the teaching of undergraduates—its lowest priority, leaving it leaderless, visionless and spiritless for so long that there are few reasons to hope for a revival. Student conduct has often coincided with the morally bankrupt number games of the Administration, but which comes first? To think that all this neglect would do anything but strengthen students' tendencies to seek the most cautious and bankable education is to employ the thin brand of analysis Foster and friends rage against. To Foster’s disbelief of the “corporate university” charge, I ask him to consider Ron Stein’s consumerist view of education. It’s quite revealing. No one is denying that students strongly prefer professional programs; the question, a complex but vital one, is why? Its answering would reveal many thjngs about students, leacheia and this University, one 6f them being a strong’basis for all that is implied by the bitter “trade-school" charge. Unfortunately, English professor Wolf and his colleagues have stayed away from the very question they ought to be asking. The reason is simple; English, for all its talk about crisis, must shoulder some responsibility for its own predicament. The truth is that life used to be verycozy for the English Department—a good reputation, a vibrant, exciting University, a warm cotlegiality on campus. That’s all gone now.

I I . no doubt that they would have won the game by a large margin. Many of the girls Name witheld upon request Robin Moskowitz , • �m I Alutto responds To the Editor: I read Dr. Wolf’s commentary, printed on two different occasions by The Spectrum, with mixed emotions. On the one hand, i was pleased that a series of Important issues were to be publicly reviewed. One the other hand, however, I was disappointed to note that, even after considerable previous discussion, Dr. Wplf has apparently failed to understand either critical issues of resource- allocation or the consequences of numerous unquestioned assumptions. In the spirit of facilitating public dialogue I would like to focus on at least three issues implicitly and explicitly addressed In my colleague's Commentary. 1. Or. Wolf decries the apparent budgetary attack on Arts and Letters by university administrators who are assumed to possess value systems antagonistic to the humanities. He argues that the loss of 12 lines is a “blood bath’’ in an opening or continuing drive to unreasonably curtail the humanistic core of the university. There are at least two difficulties with this position. First, the redistribution of resources has negatively impacted in both professional programs and the humanities. Dr. Wolf himself notes the severe reductions in personnel experienced by the School of Educational Studies. How does it follow that this administration is singling out the humanities for reduction when on a percentage of total resources basis, the School of Education, a clearly “vocational” program, has been reduced to a greater extent than the Faculty of Arts and Letters or, more particularly, the English department? Surely a porportlonally greater reduction in a professional school argues for the existence of an allocation process driven by greater complexity than a desire to act inhumanely toward the humanities. Secondly, Dr. Wolf only points to a loss of faculty lines. Assume for the moment that the loss of 12 lines represents a 10 percent reduction in A&L Instructional resources and the A&L has not been overstaffed in the past. If A&L enrollments have decreased by 40 percent then, if anything, the 10 percent reduction may be interpreted as tangible evidence of a willingness to support A&L at the expense of other, nonhumanities units. Certainly, Dr. Wolf and other A&L colleagues recognize that someone else in this university will have to overperform (i.e.,beat a disporportlonately high workload) to offset a reduction in A&L faculty lines that is lower in magnitude than the decrease in instructional workload in A&L. If Dr. Wolf or The Spectrum had taken time to engage in comparisons of both workload and resource changes, they would have found that such an analysis clearly demonstrated an institutional commitment to protect rather than take advantagbe of A&L. Of course, the humanities might contend that as a matter of principle they should bear no reductions and that other units must completely offset their reduced instru ctional performance, with all the negative impacts on students and faculty in these departments, but this is a position so morally bankrupt and Intellectually vacuous that one hopes it is not being seriously asserted. 2. Dr. Wolf is concerned that a reallocation of resources from departments such as English to vocational areas will distort the humanistic core of this university. This position assumes that, for example, the English department is something other than a vocational department. Rather than make this assumption I would prefer to see a demonstration of such a fact, and one can even suggest at least one method for reaching a conclusion. Assume that by a vocational department we mean one whose full-time faculty devote most of their instructional efforts to the "training" of specialists (i.e., majors) and, conversely, a department at the educational core of this universtiy Is one whose full time faculty participate in the education of students regardless of vocational or career interest. (Note that this would mean that at the graduate level, most departments are vocational, and that simply assigning TA’s to undergraduate courses for non-majors is an inadequate mode of participation in the academic core). Clearly, we are assuming that a department is only at the academic core of this university if its instructional capabilities are viewed as essential to the education of students regardless of vocational interest and, furthermore, that on this one mearsurable dimension departments can vary from completely vocational to completely nonvocational In orientation. Now, to examine the issue of whether the English department is either vocational or at the academic core we require the following . information; Number of sections for non-majors taught by full-time faculty divided by the number of sections for English majors taught by fulltime faculty. To the extent that this results in a relatively small percentage (e.g., 10-20 percent) then one would question whether at an operational level this department is at the academic core of our educational enterprise' If the department is consuming its instructional resources to “train”specialists then regardless of some implicit or preferred academic mode) it is functioning as a vocational program and should be evaluated acording to the same criteria as an y engineering, law nursing, management, education or medical school. To the extent that a department, such as English, Is at the heart of our educational enterprise (i.e., is non-vocational or instructs a WILKESON PUB GETTING IT ON FOR THE STUDENTS WEDNESDAY 10/10 , relatively large proportion of non-majors with full tims faculty) then It must be supported at levels ensuring viability regardless of current student preferences for majoring in that area. To the extent that a department is “vocational” then it expands or contracts on the basis of an ability to respond to the market established by student interests. Obviously,, such an analysis does not address the concerns of (1) conceptions of what a university should be or 0 sustaining high quality vocational departments in times of low demand. In terms of the first issue, one can assert that a university must have an English department even if it has drifted into a “vocational mode.” But surely, if a vocationally oriented English department has encountered reduced student interest, one can have perhaps a 40 person rather than 60 person department without seriously changing the nature of a university. One the issue of maintaining prestige departments I merely caution that such discussions are rarely clear cut and never end with simply a determination of national ranking. In the case of our English department I personally know of no national ranking in the past five years that resulted in a rating of our department within the top twenty English departments in the country. But let us assume that in fact this English department is ranked within the twenty highest quality departments nationally. In a time of reduced resoures we can and should ask a second order question. If our department has 60 fulltime faculty, graduates 20 Ph.D.'s per year, has 100 TA’s, has $100,000 in endowment income, etc., how does that resource committment and utilization relate t6 prestige. If other higher ranked deparments are smaller (e.g., Yale) then perhaps some reductions are possible without a significant loss in stature. If all equivalent or superior English departments are more richly supported then we had better face the possibility of sustaining current levels of support even if student interest has temporarily diminished. 3. Dr. Wolf, as is true with many of us, dislfkes reliance on workload as the criterion for resource allocations. I urge Dr. Wolf and his colleagues to do more than rail against the Irrationalities of life. It Is fine to assert that something else ought to be the basis for allocating resources but there are two factors with which we must contend. First, this university and every major public or private university with which I am familiar is to a great extent enrollment driven. In our case the constraint comes from the division of budget and no amount of weeping or gnashing of teeth will change that for the University. Secondly, nonenrollment issues can and should affect internal allocation decisions for this campus. If one doubts that this strategy is being pursued at present how can one explain why the VPAA set forth differential workloads for units in his academic plan, a scheme that grants A&L a reduced workload that is offset by higher workloads in other faculties? Should Dr. Wolf or others disagree with the basis for weighting workloads contained in the Academic Plan then they should fully develop and publicly present these alternative criteria for critical review. To simply conplain may be an understandable response but it is a professionally irresponsible act. In conclusion, it must be said that nothing in this letter should be construed as an attack on the English department or my colleague, Dr. Wolf. This has been written to illustrate the need for examining comparative data as well as explicitly stating assumptions and values when examining and evaluating all departments or faculties. To act otherwise when addressing issues of resource allocations, especially in a time of scarcity, will contribute to arbitrary and destructive educational actions. We will not effectively address our institutional difficulties if departments refuse to work with each other, if faculty complain but take no responsibility for effecting changes, or if administrators take actions which they are unable to justify in the public forums of this university. Reasoned discourse is not a luxury for this or any university. It is a basic requirement for academic viability. Joseph A.

Millonzi, Chairman Mr. William C. Baird Ms. Harriet Williams Brown Dr. George L. Collins, Jr, Mr. Frank N. Cuomo Mr. Seymour H. Knox Mr. M. Robert Keren Mr. George J. Measer Dr. James F. Phillips Mr. Michael Pierce Mrs. Rose H. Sconiers To: From: Robert L. Ketter As you know, it is required that I prepare a statement describing the conditions of the campus and that that statement be made generally available to the University community prior to the visit of the outside team of presidents. Specifically, the Guidelines state the following; “b. “c. The President shall submit the Statement to the Chancellor and at the same time, to the Chairperson of the College Council. That statement shall be considered a public document. The Chairperson of the College Council shall make copies available to the members of the Council. The Chairperson of the College Council shall request the President to discuss the Statement with the Council.” This chwacterization of the system applies in even greater degree to the individual campuses whose principal officers have counterparts in State University Central Administration With whom they must interact on a constant basis. The administrative layer at the system level is only the first that must be penetrated by this campus in dealing with a myriad, of State agencies whose action or lack of action can profoundly affect the campus. Perhaps the situation was best described in the University’s 1972 Self-Study, which stated that “this is not a system in which the operating units... are given certain assigned tsks and resources and held responsible for accomplishing these tasks with the resources provided. Instead, it is one in which every detail of operation is subject to ongoing review and possible revision if not rejection.’’ The Middle States’ accreditation team responded that “the present procedure is cumbersome and it adds to the difficulty of determining who' holds the final responsibility in a given situation.” Within this organization and in the conduct of these highly diverse activities, the ' campus in each of these areas, as well as the activity of the President, one must decide whether to approach the task through a detailed recounting of all situations, actions, and statements or through a broader process of highlighting. The length of this document, as prescribed in the guidelines issued by the Board of Trustees, dictates a greater reliance upon the latter. Therefore, these highlights, supplemented whenever necessary by limited detail, convey from the perspective of the President a sense of the condition of the campus in the broad areas identified above, including certain suggestions about future action that may affect those conditions. Research who will he'expected to provide an added impetus to growth in our annual research expenditures, which have climbed from $16 million in 1970-71 to more than $24 million in 1978-79. Moreover, it will be necessary for the person selected to establish close interactions with the Office of the Graduate Dean and other academic and support offices on campus.' Unfortunately, the Graduate Dean with whom this person will work also will be new due to the untimely death of the incumbent. A search for a successor also is underway. There is no question in my mind that the changes in the administrative officers referred to above have produced a stronger administration. In fact, h has never been stronger during my Presidency. The-Deans have shown an increasing tendency to exert leadership and to resolve problems at their level, as have the Vice Presidents for Academic Affairs and Health Sciences. Although it is impossible within the system in which we operate to totally decentralize operational authority, I am pleased that the authority that is available is being exercised at these levels. As personnel changes have occurred, changes also have been made in organization with an eye toward benefitting both individual units and the University. For instance, several of the professional schools—Management, Architecture and Environmental Design, Information and Studies, and Social Library Work—previously reported to the Vice President for Academic Affairs through one of the Faculties. Those reporting relationships now are direct; and this. I believe, has enhanced the effectiveness of those units. Also important organizationally has been the substitution without trauma of the title of Dean for the previous title of Provost. The present title is more appropriate for the defined positions and, in addition, reserves to the President the option of employing the provostal title at the University-wide level, as is the practice elsewhere in this country. In addition to these and other organizational changes at lower levels, certain organizational shifts of emphasis arc occurring in the Office of the President. In earlier years, for instance, no clear separation was defined or observed between the Executive Vice President and the President in terms of officers reporting to the Office of the President. More recently, I have indicated that entities such as the University Libraries, the Computing Center, Admissions and Records, Public Safety, and Cultural Affairs report directly to the Executive Vice President and through him to the President. Moreover, I have stated that the Vice Presidents for Academic Affairs and Health Sciences report directly to the President, as do the Undergraduate and Graduate Deans, both of whom act as staff officers to the President on policy matters. These organizational relationships will continue to evolve and, 1 believe, will bring a greater clarity to lines of authority within the The composition of the for instance, has undergone great change since the mid-seventies. Included in this transformation is the appointment, after an extensive search in 1973, of a Vice President for Academic Affairs. Leadership also has changed among the Schools or Faculties in Social Sciences, Engineering and Applied Sciences, Natural Sciences and Mathematics. Educational Studies, Management, Medicine, Arts and Letters, Law and Jurisprudence, and Pharmacy. More recently—within the past few weeks, in fact—new appointments have been made in deanships in the Colleges, the School of Nursing, and in the School of Health Related Professions. Change also has occurred since 1975 in the University-wide deanships: Graduate and Professional Education; Undergraduate Education; and Continuing Education. Moreover, new leadership at the vice presidential level, in addition to Academic Affairs, is being exerted in Facilities Planning and in the former Division of University Mr. Millonzi has asked that I send to you a copy of the statement in question so that it can be discussed at the scheduled meeting of the Council to be held on Friday afternoon, Oct. 12, at 3 p.m. That statement is herewith attached. PRESIDENTIAL STATEMENT: CONDITION OF THE CAMPUS ' as required under Guidelines for the Review Process for the Presidents issued by the Stale University of New York Board of Trustees . . . Robert L. Ketter President State University of New York at Buffalo September, 1979 In order to properly assess the condition of a particular campus, one must first have an awareness of the scope of that institution’s activity and of the organizational constraints within which it operates. At the State University of New York at Buffalo, our role as a University Center requires a highly diverse profile. We are unique within State University in the number of accredited professional schools and programs that are available. We have individual faculty members and academic units that are nationally and, in a number of instances, internationally recognized. The priority accorded graduate and postbaccalaureate professional education is accompanied by a commitment to maintain a strong program at the undergraduate level. The academic ability of our students ranges from the highly competitive to a need for remediation. While we are committed to reserving 50 percent of our regular freshman claw places for residents of Western New York, we also are the leading campus within State University in international education, and the foreign student presence is larger here than on the campus of any other unit. In sum, the University at Buffalo is a broadbased University Center whose activities in fulfillment of its teaching, research, and service missions span the region and other nations. These activities occur within a State University system that was described aptly in 1960 by the Governor’s Committee on Higher Education (the Heald Committee) in words that unfortunately still retain their aptness. “State University as a whole,” described the Committee, “appears to have less administrative and management freedom of operation than almost any other publicly supported institution or groups of 'Institutions in the United States.” President, according to the Policies of the State University Board of Trustees, is responsible to the Chancellor and to the Board of Trustees for the administration of the campus and for the promotion of its development and effectiveness. He is charged with the preparation and recommendation of the campus budget, as well as with reporting and recommending to the Chancellor, the board, and the University Council in matters involving the operation, plans, and development or the campus. Moreover, he appoints or recommends for appointment faculty, non-teaching professional, and classified service personnel and, in general, is responsible for supervising their activities. Unstated, but clearly implied—and explicitly believed in by this President—is the charge that the President shall be concerned with the institution in its entirety. He must maintain an undistorted view of the whole while dealing with the parochial interests of the many parts. In meeting these responsibilities, several broad areas of concern can be defined. These are; administration and organization; communication: educational direction; budget and facilities; and external relations and issues. Some years ago, 1 presumed that the latter—external relations and issues—would demand more of my time and attention while internal organization and operational matters would require less. In retrospect, this was a misplaced expectation—partly, at least. Attention required by external concerns, especially in view ofeconomic decline and the prospect of a decreasing pool of students, has grown dramatically. The attention required by other identified areas of concern, however, has not diminished; those matters, too, demand continuing rather than transitory care. To convey a sense of the condition of the Relations, which currently is headed by a organization. Additionally, I hope that these changes Director. Although some criticism can be and has been made of the slowness with which some of these appointments proceeded, I believe that in each instance we followed a deliberate course that, under the economic and internal circumstances which prevailed, was the best to take even though it may not have been the most swift. This is the case, especially, in regard to our present search for a Vice President for Research. The accreditation report of the Middle States’ team that visited the campus in 1972-73 questioned the need for a Research Office separate from the Office of the Graduate Dean. Subsequently, attention was given by a number of persons, including the incumbents at that time, to the desirability of a merger of the two offices or the creation of a greater degree of interaction between the two. Before this issue was resolved, however, the Graduate Dean announced his intention to leave the University for an advanced position at another institution. It was felt that his successor should be a major party in any resolution of the matter. Therefore, it was not until a new Graduate Dean had been identified and had joined the University that the question of merger was resolved during this past year. The Graduate Dean, who conducted an extensive study of all aspects of the question, observed that the merger was neither necessary nor desirable. Moreover, he recommended that selection of an active scholar and researcher to head the Research Office would emphasize the importance of this activity to the University. Additionally, he. suggested certain steps that should betaken to strengthen the interaction of the two offices. As a result of these recommendations, we have begun a search for a Vice President’ for will have a beneficial effect upon a ~ fundamental issue that has not disappeared from this campus; that is, the organizational division between Academic Affairs and Health Sciences. Although the division is rooted in history at this University and is reinforced by the budgetary separation imposed at higher levels of State University, we certainly are not unique among institutions of higher education in having to contend with it. Nevertheless, the tendencies that would pull the two divisions apart and effectively destroy the concept of institutional unity—to which I am committed —require constant attention. The most recent and obvious example of this problem occurred during the past year over the role of the Undergraduate Dean. The situation stemmed from a recommendation by the Faculty Senate in 1977 that sought to place the University Dean of Undergraduate Education in a position to assert greater leadership in the development of undergraduate education. The Senate felt that the Dean should have more influence upon the allocation of resources to academic units and, in addition, have greater resources at his own disposal. In order to accomplish this, they recommended that the Dean no longer serve as an independent officer reporting directly to the President but become a direct line officer, reporting either to the Vice President for Academic Affairs or to both the Vice President for Academic Affairs and the Vice President for Health Sciences. The Senate emphasized, however, that a single individual should have overall responsibility for undergraduate education in the University. This was considered especially important in view o| the University’s amici—continued on page. 1,0— J \ . �I Statement. — require it to study specific operational areas to determine how these areas can better support the educational activity. of the 2 conjunction with the Executive Vice University.

It is this direct to meet the Faculty Senate’s concerns, I directed that the Dean of the Division of Undergraduate Education serve as a staff officer to the President, as does the Dean of Graduate and Professional Education, and that he assume responsibility for developing and directing the General Education program of the University. Moreover, I have made clear to the two Vice Presidents and to the Deans that I intend to work closely withthem in establishing operational relationships which permit the Deans to exercise greater leadership while simultaneously not infringing upon the line responsibility of the Vice Presidents. (The preceding should emphasize the importance that can be attached to having reclaimed the title of Provost for possible use at the University level. Also, it again raises the question of whether or not it is to the advantage of the University to continue to operate with two distinct and separate, principal academic officers.) In order for th$ operational relationships referred to above to be effective, there will have to be frequent and direct communication between the parties involved. The need for communication, of course, is a continuing concern in an institution and system of this size and complexity; and it is a concern that probably more than any other places the greatest demands on the President’s schedule. 2 pated development in General Education. Following lengthy deliberations, the two m Vice Presidents, working at that time in | ° ™ • f f Some time ago a Faculty Senate ad hoc committee issued a report which, although based specifically on a study of the budgetary process, reached the general conclusion that communication between the various administrative levels must be improved in order to create a better understanding of the decision-making process. The chairman of the committee was invited to discuss his findings with the University’s senior academic officers, who then composed the Academic Cabinet. As a result of those discussions, membership of the Academic Cabinet was enlarged to include the Chairman of the Faculty Senate, the Chairman of the Professional Staff Senate, and a student representing the Presidents of the various student associations. Additionally, there was created a Deans’ Council to bring together on a monthly basis the Deans in Academic Affairs and Health Sciences. Vice Presidents also were encouraged to share information at lower administrative levels within their own divisions. In summary; there now are three major administrative groups that I chair and that meet on a regular basis with me to discuss academic and budgetary issues: the Academic Cabinet, the Vice Presidents, and the Deans’ Council. Generally, I am convinced that there is an appreciation at these levels—if not always understanding—of the complexity and ambiguity of the decision-making process that is dictated by the operational control and review exercised by Central Administration and the various State agencies. This appreciation diminishes, however, as one becomes further removed from the process; and the result is indeed frustration over a system that does not appear to be responsive. Furthermore, even an understanding of the system does not preclude frustration with it. Many of our frustrations, however, result from policies and/or procedures that are of our own making. To systematically look into this problem, I appointed a University Committee to Study Operational Processes. This committee has been/and will continue to be presented with a series of charges that w communication which consumes the greater part of a President’s time. In addition to meeting with the institutional administrative bodies already mentioned, I meet regularly with the University Council, the full Faculty Senate, the Executive Committees of the' Faculty Senate and the Professional Staff Senate, officers of the student associations, officials of the two employee unions, the Community Advisory Council, and others. On a more informal basis, I have tried a number of devices for meeting at times with Department Chairmen, ranging from meetings with the entire body ofChairmen to more relaxed sessions with smaller groups over breakfast or lunch .-I also have set aside a periodic open period in my calendar during which any faculty member, student or employee can arrange an appointment for discussion of any issue. All of these steps are in addition, of course, to standing appointments with certain officers, to the numerous meetings that are necessary in the conduct of the daily business of the University, and to the speaking engagements and countless ceremonial appearances I must make both within and outside the University. Quite clearly, I believe that the channels of communication to and from the President are open and that the business of the University is discussed openly and frankly. While the atmosphere of legalism that has been created on campus by government intervention and the rise of unionism will not disappear, and while the factionalism that has been traditional within higher education will not be totally dissipated, I do believe that they can be ameliorated through the sense of collegiality that is at the essence of open and frank communication. A great deal of communication obviously is aimed at providing educational direction. The official documents of the University—the Self-Study, Master Plan, Mission Statement, Annual Reports, the Budget Requests, the statement entitled “The University: Its Purpose and Fulfillment”— arc replete with philosophical, altitudinal, and operational statements about the missions and goals of this insitution. abiding Throughout this decade, however, an over academic expressed been concern has planning. During the first five years of the decade, this concern was expressed almost exclusively by the President as I sought to encourage individual units to realistically assess and to assign priority to their plans for development in the face of a worsening economic situation. In 1975 I felt it was necessary to appoint a University Committee on Academic Planning. The necessity, quite bluntly, was not as much a need for the definition of a new .or expanded academic direction for the institution as it was a need for the University to come to grips with the question of resource allocation and reallocation. The committee was charged, therefore, to first develop an academic profile of the University, and then to make recommendations which would convey the future shape of the institution, while serving simultaneously as a guide to resource allocation. The need for such a guide was urgent in 1975, for this was the first year in a two-year period of severe contraction necessitated by a collapse of the financial base for New York City and the overcommitment of the Urban Development Corporation of the State of New York. The Committee on Academic Planning, however, was aware that its evaluation of University programs had to be conducted deliberately, and it did not feel that its proceedings could or should be rushed or compromised. Nevertheless, the University needed a set of guidelines, publicly distributed, that could serve the institution during this difficult period. To that end, I appointed a second University-wide committee made up of faculty, staff, and students, to develop Budget Criteria for the institution. The work of this panel, however, did not drastically affect decisions that had to be made in 1975. In that year, a basic decision was made, after extensive consultation, that required savings could be achieved through the use of vacant lines, an imposed hiring freeze, and reductions in temporary services and other than personal service funds. Essentially, it was felt that the period of time following notification of termination—if we had relied on retrenchment—would have been unconscionably short and that the institution, therefore, should subordinate program needs to a sensitivity for the plight of individuals. Afterwards—and in time for decisions that had to be made in 1976 pertaining to the 1976-77 budget—the Budget Criteria Committee recommended that the principle of selective adjustment of fiscal support, including reallocation, should be applied. It offered criteria to guide such decisions, and these were quite similar to criteria being used by the Committee on Academic Planning in its evaluation of programs. The concept of selective adjustment also was endorsed by the Faculty Senate, the Academic Cabinet, and the University Council. Therefore, the Provpsts (who were Faculty heads under the old title) and School Deans were instructed to make recommendations about reductions and reallocations to the then Acting Vice President for Academic Affairs. The process involved essentially the core campus academic areas because it was in these units that the previous year’s reliance upon attrition had created the greatest imbalances. Following receipt of the recommendations by the Acting Vice President, they were forwarded to me and were discussed on several occasions with an ad hoc committee of the Faculty Senate. Together, the Acting Vice President and I held final hearings for all programs recommended for major reductions. Subsequently, 1 made the following public statement; “Quite frankly, I am deeply disappointed in the product of the recommendatory and consultative process which was followed in this initial attempt at planned reallocation. The results, in terms of resources made available for reallocation, are absolutely minimal; and the trauma throughout the University has been profound. The process will not be duplicated again." (My own disenchantment, incidentally, was mirrored in the report I mentioned earlier by the Faculty Senate ad hoc committee, for the anecdotal evidence on which it was based was collected a few months after these events.) It was in this atmosphere, therefore, that the report of the Committee on Academic Planning was issued. It was viewed by many in the University as a budgetary document; and, indeed, specific recommendations for resource increase, decrease, or stability were contained in the report, on a program-byprogram basis. The campus reaction to the report can best be characterized as one of alarm, for the committee had done what had not been done by most unit'heads during the previous budgetary process: it had made very difficult, fundamental, academic and operational recommendations. The fact that the recommendations emanated from a Presidcntially appointed, University-wide committee of faculty, staff, and students was viewed by some persons as an attempt to centralize decision-making in the Office of the President; and the work of the committee was criticized upon such grounds. Also, the Health Sciences units felt that the individual professional missions of the Schools either had not been fully understood by the committee or had been ignored. In the core campus, concern was expressed over judgements made about particular programs as well as the data upon which the judgments were based. 1 therefore asked the Vice President for Health Sciences and the Vice President for Academic Affairs to respond to the planning document in whatever manner they judged to be appropriate. Both have done so. In the case of Health Sciences, documents were submitted which emphasize the missions of the professional schools in the Health Sciences. In Academic Affairs, which, as I stated, was the more critical area because of the need for reallocation of resources, a newly appointed Vice President submitted “Although the President can communicate indirectly, as through a committee, it is primarily through direct communication that the President can inform others of his hopes.*and concerns .. this year ai. academic plan which draws upon the broad priorities I identified in the document, “The University: Its Purpose and Fulfillment,” that was published in The Reporter in 1975, and also utilizes many of the evaluation criteria employed earlier by the Committee on Academic Planning and the Committee on Budget Criteria. While having the Vice President’s own distinctive imprint, the plan also incorporates the principle of selective budgetary adjustment, including the reallocation of resources. The response from Health Sciences, as well as that from Academic Affairs, stresses the need for greater interaction between the two divisions. This is an interaction that 1, too, desire in order to lend greater meaning to the concept of institutional unity. Therefore, methods to bring this about will be the subject of discussion in the relationship that 1 have described must exist between the two Vice Presidents, the Graduate and Undergraduate Deans, and myself. The production of the planning document in Academic Affairs, coming to grips as it does with the issue of resource allocation, is one of the reasons for my characterization of the University as more mature in this year’s “State of the University” address. The planning document was drafted with the cooperation of the Deans of the various Schools and Divisions wh? know that resources must be shifted and who are '■•’fic’d* prepared, I believe, to mak'’ ■ �decisions over the next few years. This, too, is one of the primary reasons for my feeling that the leadership of the academic units has never been stronger than it is today. As 1 stated in this year’s address, however, the greater tests of our maturity await us in the future; a future that is now upon us. ' While a great deal of thought and effort has been devoted to planning, the University also has made real progress in pursuing its traditional missions of research, teaching, and service. Research expenditures, as I mentioned earlier, have increased annually to more than S24-million. Moreover, faculty are showing a greater willingness to accept responsibility for seeking external support. The number of proposals being forwarded has increased. Nevertheless, I recognize that we have considerable strides to make for a University of our size and stature. There is a need for greater activity within a more varied faculty base. To that end, I will continue to offer encouragement. Also, the identification of an outstanding researcher to head the Research Office and the implementation of the recommendations of the Committee to Study, Operational Processes should be benficial. Ultimately, however, the progress we make in research will depend almost exclusively upon the initiative and industry of individual faculty members. In teaching—which I view in its broad sense to include curriculum: what is taught and the context in which it is taught—the University is displaying a renewed interest in creating new programs that will meet the needs of sudents. I attributed this in the “State of the University” address to the prospect of declining enrollments as well as to a reassertion by the faculty of confidence in its own academic judgment and their genuine concern for education. This reassertion is evident in the work of a General Education Committee appointed jointly by the Faculty Senate and the Vice Presidents for Academic Affairs and Health Sciences. I suggested the need for a General Education program in the document, “The University; Its Purpose and Fulfillment,” in 1975, one which would encourage cross-disciplinary approaches to broad issues and help breach the insularity of the disciplines. The possibility of this materializing through the committee and the Senate appears strong, and the diversity of programs at this institution should contribute greatly to the attractiveness of the program which evolves. Additionally, a number of units already are providing some cross-disciplinary courses and dual-degree programs. I also believe it is important to note that in the development of these programs the University has* not resorted to the trivialization of higher education. Indeed, in our conversion this year—after repeated encouragement—to a basic standard of contact hour/credit hour equivalency, the University is demonstrating a capacity to provide students with a more rigorous and broader education at a time when the easier choice might have been to maintain the status performance is successful, additional efforts in this area will be undertaken. Th; University also has enlarged its public service role within the community: and this, has required the creation of a new attitude. With its history as a private institution, combined with its development in a public system as a research center, the University appeared for some time to display the attitude that itHad a choice as to whether or not it wished to acknowledge this aspect of its mission. Today, however, I believe there is an increased appreciation of the fact that the extension of our programs into the community is a critical prerequisite to our claim for public funding. Recent examples of our efforts to directly benefit the community include the creation of a Regional Economic Assistance Center, the development of plans for the downtown theater district, and our cooperation in developing a computing program for the Buffalo high schools. The latter program, in addition to serving the public, will also underscore this University’s commitment to equal opportunity and affirmative action, an area in which a great deal of effort has been devoted through the past decade. These examples, of course, represent only the proverbial tip of the iceberg. They can only suggest the true extent of the University’s involvement in the community’s economy, its environment—both physical and cultural—and in many of the professional areas, such as health care. That involvement, today, is greater than it ever has been, and the University-Community relationship has progressed beyond one of toleration and acceptance to one of partnership. The strength of the departments and programs which conduct these missions, and departments to develop appropriate instruments. The students also are again carrying out teaching evaluations for a number of departments. Efforts in both of these directions will continue. Moreover, if the experimental program conducted by the teaching Graduate School to assist -irtro' classroom —- do. with the realization that the process will be step-by-step in narrower ranges. Within the Schools and Faculties, recruitment in a number of areas— whenever hiring freezes have not been imposed by the Division of the Budget—has become increasingly difficult because of salaries which now in many instances are noncompetitive with those that can be earned in other institutions. Equipment replacement is a critical factor in the sciences. The University Libraries, which now are housed in splendid new quarters, continue nevertheless to be plagued by a shortage of funds for acquisitions. Non-instructional support staff are spread thin, having been reduced by 100 lines since 1970. In the core campus, 70 faculty lines have been lost during the same period. To counter the effects of inflation, I have had to use our endowment monies toprovide some degree of relief to the acquisitions problem in the Libraries. Monies from these sources also have been used to assist in making appointments in American Studies, Classics, and other-areas. They have been used in the purchase of equipment, Additionally, we now are working with State University in the development of a systemwide plan for equipment replacement. A higher salary schedule for Law faculty also was agreed upon in consultation with SUNY* Central; however, this has been stalled in the Division of the Budget. Currently, efforts also are underway to increase salaries in Dentistry. Another source of funds that is used to supplement the State-supported budget is the University at Buffalo Foundation. Private financial support contributed through the Foundation has increased annually in the past years to more than S3-million. Many of these dollars are for restricted purposes—such as for the recent establishment of required dental teaching facilities in a local hospital—and unrestricted funds, which provide us with greatly needed flexibility, are becoming increasingly more difficult to obtain. The Foundation has been handicapped in its efforts in at least two major ways. In the first instance, the largest number of our alumni have graduated since the University became a public institution; and these potential supporters, for the most part, have not yet reached the peak of their careers. Secondly, as a result of a lack of State financial support for Foundation activities and personnel, the Foundation must be entirely self-supporting. We have attempted to counter these difficulties by adding to the fund-raising staff of the Foundation and by bringing the therefore the strength of the University, is evident in our ability to attract such entities as the Center for Integrative Studies, which will move here early next year from the University of Houston. We also continue to draw outstanding faculty to the University, such as four eminent scholars in Comparative Literature who moved simultaneously from Johns Hopkins University to join the Faculty of Arts and Letters. The number of our faculty who are recognized through external fellowships and awards—such as five Guggenheim recipients this year—continues to compare favorably with prestigious universities. Placement of graduate degree holders also suggests that in most fields our graduate programs are accorded national and international respect. The academic quality of our programs also is attested to by the favorable reports of the State Education Department doctoral program review teams, our own internal reviews, and by the reports of the numerous accrediting agencies which visit the University. Such reports, however, are more frequently emphasizing the direct relationship between academic quality and budgetary and facilities support—such as occurred this past year in the School of Dentistry. % quo. The faculty’s interest in the education of students, as I have stated, is genuine among the greater part of the faculty. It is evidenced in a renewed interest in teaching evaluation as a means of improving classroom performance. Although a single evaluation instrument does not appear to be feasible—and this has been a source of disagreement among many persons—the Vice President for Academic Affairs has been charged with responsibility for encouraging to excellence in all we The University’s State-supported budget and its construction program are affected primarily by enrollments and the state of the economy, in regard to the latter, inflation has reduced the value of our 1979-80 Statesupported budget of • $98-million to S59-million in 1970 dollars. This is $3-million less than the S62-miIlion State-supported budget we had in 1970. The implications of this inflationary erosion have been profound. We recognized—and stated explicitly in our 1977 Mission Statement—that the day of the comprehensive University Center in this State had coma, and gone, if indeed it was ever here. We also stated that we intended, instead, to cultivate a broad base of programs through the process of selective development. We also will continue to aspire Alumni Association into a closer reporting relationship. The latter move, it is hoped, will produce a strong base of support among graduates who are made aware of and can appreciate the financial needs of the University. The former Division of University now the Division of Public Affairs, was reorganized and streamlined in 1977. One object of this reorganization, although by no means the only one, was to create an office which could more effectively devote a greater part of its efforts toward portraying the University to the community. This, too, should help us as we seek increased amounts of State and private financial Relations, support. The major way that we can deal with budgetary restrictions, however, is to shift our own resources within the restrictions that are imposed by the State. Those restrictions are severe; nevertheless, as I have mentioned, the planning document prepared by the Vice President for Academic Affairs deals with the issue of resource shifts. The method adopted in this plan is to provide incremental movements to areas of greatest need while avoiding the more dramatic dislocations created by actual declared retrenchments. To date, we have had the luxury of operating in this fashion, and I beleive it. is the proper way to proceed as long as we are able to do so. The time may come, however, when this will no longer be possible. The reason for this, and one faced by every institution in this country, -is the specter of declining enrollments. The University’s Stale-supported budget is based upon student enrollment. Last year, although we had more students than the year before, we did not meet our budgeted target, Many reasons for this were evident, and extensive discussion resulted in an agreement being reached with State University and the Division of the Budget on a projected -enrollment for 1979-80. Additionally, SUNY Central requested enrollment projections through 1984-85. A major issue for the present and future, therefore, is the strategy we intend to follow in order to meet these projections. Some persons argue that enrollment caps in high demand areas should be removed entirely, that resources should be transferred swiftly to allow for expansion—obtained obviously through retrenchment in other areas—and that the high demand disciplines should be allowed to carry the institution. I have not accepted this argument because I believe we have to look to the long-term and impose reasonable rates of growth upon currently popular programs in order to preserve the basic nature of the University. The operational implications of that “The University also has enlarged its public.service role within the community; and this, too, has required the creation of a new attitude decision are that we will have to design more attractive programs in low demand areas such as Arts and Letters, Social Sciences, and Millard Fillmore College, and that these programs will have to be widely publicized. These steps are being taken by the units involved and, on a University-wide basis, by the General Education Committee. We also will have to increase our recruitment efforts, a situation of which the Executive Vice President and Director of Admissions and Records are aware, as are the individual units that will have to be involved. At the graduate level, our success in persuading the Division of the Budget to increase the ceiling for assistantship stipends, as well as our internal efforts to increase the average stipend, would help in the recruitment of outstanding graduate students. Of course, we must continue our efforts to obtain additional funding in this area. It will not be enough, however, to direct our attention only to prospective students. We must take steps to retain the students we already have. To that end, 1 appointed last year a University Committee on Attrition/ Retention which has come forward with numerous recommendations that have been placed in priority order by the Vice President for Student Affairs. 1 have asked that he work in consultation with me toward the implementation of those recommendations which are feasible. Moreover, he already has reorganized his own Division in an effort to provide better student services at both the Amherst and Main Street Campuses. Two other situations that have required actions to provide student services in recent years include the abolishment of our Foreign Student Affairs Office by the Legislature of the State of New York. To counter the effects of this reduction, workload was redistributed in the Division of Student Affairs so that foreign students would continue to have the guidance and advisement necessary in a strange environment. In the second instance, the lack of recreational facilities on the Amherst Campus was countered by the University’s acquisition of a “bubble” gymnasium. A second temporary structure of this type has now been funded. VII We obviously could achieve an immensely better atmosphere for students, as well as for faculty and staff, if construction of our -Continued on page 12— �I Statement.. —continued from page 11— | 5 m 2 £ * E § o J S | 5 v physical facilities had proceeded during the past decade according to schedule. When I stated in 1974 that I believed we could achieve our projected physical growth without immense difficulty, I did not foresee the collapse of New York City’s financial base and the profound effect of this upon the State and the bond market. Although we have made considerable progrss in moving the core campus academic units to the Amherst Campus, construction has been seriously delayed. In the face of that delay, we were able to persuade the Board of Trustees to assign top priority among State University construction to completion of the Amherst Campus and rehabilitation of the Main Street Campus. The State Education Department also was persuaded to recommend that construction of facilities for the Health Sciences be moved forward as rapidly as possible. This, in view of the fact that the Main Street Campus cannot be made totally available to the Health Sciences until completion of the Amherst Campus, was a tacit recommendation for completion of the latter despite a recommendation for a moratorium on other postsecondary construction in the State. Moreover, although it ultimately was not required, we were able to convince a number of local banks to guarantee a modest bond issue that would allow some construction to , instances, morale has been favorably affected; however, the space is still inadequate. The Biology Department was able to consolidate its operations on the Amherst Campus with the completion of the Laboratory Greenhouse. Additionally, a Service, and Warehouse Complex was occupied during the past year which provides on the a permanent location for Amherst Campus. Despite the construction progress we have made since 1970—from a barren field in Amherst to what now is visible—we continue to operate a split campus in two major ‘ three-year plan to remedy identified funding deficiencies in the School and. of course, the School has been given top priority in our 1980-81 budget request. Nevertheless, as other Schools and Departments in the Health Sciences undergo accreditation visits, we can anticipate receiving further criticisms of physical facilities on the Main Street Campus. Another serious concern is the pending four projects at Amherst which have been justified by the University, have been As I stated earlier, the attention I am required to devote to external relations has increased as the economy has worsened and as enrollment projections in the State and nation have become more dire. These relations include increased interactions with State University Central Administration and the host of State agencies whose decisions affect this campus. In the preceding, I have tried to suggest that the extent of that involvement already is great. It will become greater, for the critical nature of the years immediately ahead for higher education is heightened in New York State by a number of unique factors. The first of these is the traditional reliance by the State upon private higher education, which has been accompanied by tax-funded support of the private sector at a magnitude and rate unequalled in any other state in the nation Competition for funds, as well as for students, among the public and private sectors obviously will intensify in this State. That competition will occur within the sectors, as well. A second unique factor is the full assumption by the State of financing for City University, thereby creating in New York State two extremely large public sector systems of higher education. The construction needsof City University are vast, and we will have to be especially alert in this situation. A third unique factor is the role of the State Education Department in this State. The SED traditionally has served as the handmaiden of the private sector. Yet its authority in relation to State University recently has been proved in the courts. It now seems more inclined to exercise and expand proceed. Within the past year, a significant amount of new construction has been initiated at Amherst. The facilities now going up include two Engineering buildings, a Lecture Hall, a Music Building and Chamber Hall, and a Field House. We expect to begin accepting these structures within slightly more than a year from now, and the renewed construction activity obviously has improved morale within the University. On the Main Street Campus, a disagreement between the architect and the State University Construction Fund has stalled approved by the Legislature, and have been movement toward renovation of Foster Hall for Health Sciences’ use. Nevertheless, we announced by the Governor, but which, as of still expect a construction contract to be this date, have not been authorized by the awarded during the first part of the coming Division of the Budget for active design. year; however, it is possible that the funds These include the second phase of the provided will not be sufficient for renovation Health, Physical Education, and Recreation facility, the Computer Center, the first phase of the entire building. More optimistically, Cannon Design, Inc., of Sodal Sciences, and additional Student seems now to be making satisfactory progress Activities space. Also, the Division of the with the program study of the Master Plan Budget has requested further information for the Main Street Campus which will be about the Theatres and Gallery project used by the University and the Construction previously approved by the Legislature Fund to justify to the Division of the Budget before giving final design authorization. At the space needs of the various Schools in the this point, the Division of the Budget has not Health Sciences. A draft report is anticipated released any of these projects, and we have shortly, with a final report expected toward been unable to proceed further. This the end of the year. The importance of this situation will require continuing attention work, and the negative impact in Health and effort to breech the impasse. Projects delivered during *he past year Sciences caused by initial delay, cannot be overemphasized. This is especially true in included the conversion of Stockton Kimball regard to the School of Dentistry, whose Tower on the Main Street Campus.

Each of these factors will influence decisions that affect the University at Buffalo, and I intend to continue my efforts to draw attention to the issues and to improve the position of this University and of public higher education in New York State. Despite the great importance of these external matters and dealings, however, the most important issue remains within the University itself; that is, can the disparate parts of this institution unite and move forward in the face of the harsh realities which confront higher education now and in the immediate future. In this report on the condition of the campus, my own belief is clear. The University has continued to progress towatd its goal of becoming one of the nation’s distinguished institutions; it has acted to help itself. The progress and actions have not always come easily; nor are they likely to be any easier in the foreseeable future. Most persons—faculty, staff, and students—are aware that this is the situation; and most, I believe, are prepared to continue to move forward. It is, as it always has been, a matter of discipline and will and courage, for these are necessary if one is to prevail and not locations, as well as smaller scale operations at the Ridge Lea Campus and elsewhere. We have moved units, at the direction of the Division of the Budget, from temporary, offcampus rental facilities to on-campus locations. These mandated moves have been, in some instances, less than ideal, and have required the <tsc 6f space onginaUy intended for other purposes. Last year, as dormitory living gained in popularity, we were able to ease the room shortage by reclaiming space for 130 beds from academic users of that space through the exemplary cooperation of many offices at Amherst. Nevertheless, space designed for dormitory purposes continues to be occupied by academic units, and students and faculty continue to be shuttled back and forth by bus from campus to campus. We have attempted to minimize this inconvenience through class scheduling adjustments. The Lecture Hall now under construction at Amherst is' expected to provide some relief.

John maintains that this is not a new phenomenon, rather it has been • .. going on since at least the 1960 West Virginia Kennedy primary victory and probably long before that. On page 13, Bob Coppoal introduces us to a new. political party, the Libertarians. In the tradition of John Mil, Ayn Rand and Adam Smith, The Libertarian Party advocates complete Individual freedom frpm government restraints . Opening Lines; 1976 and the last presidential campaign seems Uke Just yesterday yet here we are again, “Decision '80" as the network news programs would label It. Although the first presidential primafy In New Hampshire is still four months away, the race Is very much shaping up and heating up. Edward Kennedy, the current overwhelming favorite In the polls has announced he will come to a decision regarding his candidacy by the end ofNovember, at a news conference In the Capitol buHdlng. By coincidence the news conference will be held In the same chamber that both John and Bobby Kennedy threw their hats into the ring. Jimmy Carter has found himself on the defensive on all fronts and Is trying desperately to project himself as a leader to the American people. Certainly the president's decision to and unlmpinged laissez faire capitalism The party has attracted support- from some very well known political activists, politicians and Intellectuals. On the following page is a roundup of the Republican presidential aspirants and a short examination of their stands. Finally The Spectrum Staff Writer Bradshaw Hovey reports on the heal Draft Kennedy movement in Western New York. —R.C Commentary Libertarian party shuns status quo by Bob Coppozzi Who are the modern ages’ radical activists? Jane Fonda and Tom Hayden? Jesse Jackson? William Kunstler? Although the media establishment might have us believe this, there is a growing political movement which regards the above figures as derivatives of the status quo. This new movement is called Libertarianism. Libertarianism (note the root word ‘Liberty") is espoused by two major groups, whose growing numbers are alarming to both conventional corporate politicians and the New Left. They arc the Libertarian Party and Students for a Libertarian Society (SLS). The reader may recognize the Libertarian Party as one of those “way out” parties at the bottom of the ballot, but who is the SLS? (the name, apparently inspired by the “heroic” activists of the 1960’s, the SDS)? For starters, every American should be grateful for the actions of the SLS, particularly young men from the ages 18 to 25. Why? The recent defeat of a House of Representatives bill to reinstate the draft was brought about to a large extent through strident lobbying efforts by the Coalition Against Registration and the Draft (CARD) which is the “brain child" of the SLS. Intriguing similarities Although libertarians have political and social beliefs quite unlike groups like the SDS, there are some intriguing similarities. For instance, many of the major libertarians are ex-Vietnam war protestors, the most noteworthy being Eugene McCarthy. The author/philosopher Ayn Rand, although she will not openly admit that she is a libertarian, (since she is a philosopher and not a political activist) is often credited as being the mentor of the movcments’intcllcctual base. "Respectable" people like Rep. Ron Paul, California Energy Czar Wilson Clark, and Alaska State legislator Dick Randolph are also avowed libertarians. In Alaska, the Libertarian Party has effectively become that state’s second major party. Libertarians have a reputation of being an interesting blend of right and left. This is somewhat accurate al a superficial level, however, a libertarian would tell you that they really transcend the labels of “right” and “left” because, as their slogan states, they are the “Party of Principle”. As Roy A. Childs, Jr. put it in the July-August edition of the Libertarian Review, “One [the rightwing) wants partial non-intervention In the the domestic economy, but BOOTS!

What do they hope to accomplish? To paraphrase Edward Crane, the Libertarian Party’s presidential candidate, it is to properly channel the American people’s discontent in our present tyrannical political system through legal Libertarian subversion in order to dismantle the statist corporate political structure and replace it with a policy of Liberty. How docs this translate into political platform. Below arc some main points of the 1980 Libertarian Party platform. 1. foreign nonintervention 2. domestic laissez-faire policy 3. abolition of all victimless crimes such as drug, gambling, and prostitution laws 4. no government subsidization of abortions 5. no governmertt censorship 6. no draft Are they anarchists? This platform sounds as if the Libertarians are anarchists. Not really. Firstly, they are reasonable people and are not totally intransigent. They realize that some interim measures must be employed. Secondly, Libertarians prefer the term “minarchists” to “anarchists”. Number ten is a particularly noteworthy stand. With the PriceAnderson Act of 1957, the government limited nuclear power plants to damage liabilities of only $560 million, of which the government promises $500 million. It is estimated that a major nuclear power plant disaster would cause $7 billion worth of damage. Libertarians assert that we would not have nuclear power plants without PriceAnderson. “Give me liberty, or give me death,-’ quoth Patrick Henry.

WITH THIS COUPON | non-intervention politics but stepped up intervention in the domestic economy. Ncigher goes far enough in the areas where they arc right; both arc flatly wrong when they back interventionin their approved area. “The lessons ofthis to the Left and the Right should,” Childs continued “be crystal clear: each must move further along the lines where they arc correct, and abandon half their ideology. Put bluntly, the Left must abandon the false Gods of socialism and equality and planning, and the Right must abandon its infatuation with militarism and empire and war. Libertarians here must take the lead, and must above all not allow themselves to be scapegoated or pigeonholed by anyone. They must ignore attacks which have come and will come from the leaders of opinion, Left and Right, and must proudly proclaim, as we have said before so often, their right to their own ideology and movement, and their right to victory. Otherwise, the American people will end in a society in which the people riot for gasoline and claw at each other in a scramble for energy made scarce by government policy; in a society cowed by Arab sheiks; in a society threatened by a return to the slavery of military conscription; in a society driven into yet another pointless war. If that is the society we want, then we need only continue on our present course.

Reeves maintained that Regan is more content to relax on his ranch and have his campaign committee do all the trudging for him. According to Reeves, Regan has failed to form a definitive campaign platform and instead is relying on his well-known conservative image to carry him through the nomination, an image that the columnist asserts contrasts with reality. Regan's performance as California Governor, a tenure marked by moderate spending and approval of social welfare and education programs, contradict his fulminations about big government. Reeves said. Republicans have been conspicuously silent about the Three Mile Island Nuclear accident last March. The GOP traditionally has aligned itself with big business and it would seem out of character for a GOP candidate to call for a moratorium on nuclear plant construction, alienating their staunch industrial supporters and financers Thesnuclear issue is a sensitive one among American corporations, many of which have a stake in its continued development. Baker emerging as best GOP bet by Robbie Cohen As the slugging match between pressident Carter and undeclared candidate Edward Kennedy grows more vehement with every passing week, an unusually large field of GOPWhite House hopefuls are vying for a share of the spotlight. There are seven declared or imminent candidates in the GOP fray at the moment. The two oldest and most familiar faces, Ronald Regan and John Conally are considered the frontrunners, despite their well publicized liabilities: Regan’s adanvanced age—71—and Conally’s tainted honesty profile, y stemming from.his milk fraud indictment in 1973. Viable alternative Tennessee Senator Howard Baker’s first thrust into public prominence in 1973 as the vociferous and resposible GOP spokesman on the Senate Select Committee on Watergate (remember Uncle Sam Ervin?), is generally viewed as the most viable alternative 1 to the jaded 'and staunchly Conservative candidacies of Regan and Connally. Many Republicans believe that a strong Baker primary offensive could put his two vulnerable main opponents on the defensive, and land him the party’s nomination at the GOP convention In Detroit next July. Although Jerry Ford has been staying in the public spotlight through appearances on Monday Night Football and golf tournaments he h’as so far declined from throwing his hat into the ring. Trailing the field are several dark horse candidates including the highly cosmetic Rep. Phillip Crane of Illinois, former Republican National Committee Chairman George Bush and unknown Larry Pressler, Senator from South Dakota. What alternative solutions do the Republicans offer for the problems of the 1980’s? How do they propose to'allcviate the energy crunch, what remedies do they have for double digit inflation and lagging production, where do they stand on nuclear power, and what arc their foreign policy views? Conservative views Thusfar it appears that the Republicans' views on all these issues are fairly uniform and read conservative. All the candidates have enthusiastically taken up the banner of less government (decreased government regulation of industry, tax cuts and curbing or phrasing out the clout of federal agencies like the Environmental Protection Agency). Although moch of the thunder has been stolen from their denunciation of federal deficit spending and calls for a balanced budget with Carter’s somewhat fulfilled pledge to reduce federal red ink, the GOP candidates say they will go much further. The main differences arc those of style. John Conally s podium thumping ‘America first’ addresses decrying the nation’s lost international power and prestige and excesssive government (meaning Democratic) bureaucracy arc typical Republican sentiments. JJkc Senator Kennedy, Republicans like Conally arc calling for an era of leadersship (a quality which Carter has been seen as sorely lacking in) to drag us through these times of crises. A recent ABC Nightly News Segment raised the issue of whether Conally can overcome his image as a shrewd, possibly venal political operator. Regan not hungry Richard Reeves, a nationally syndicated columnist, contended in a recent article that Regan is not “hungry enough iig lurking However David Fox, a press spokesman for Senator Baker's national campaign committee told The Spectrum that his candidate is reevaluating his views on nuclear power In the aftermath of the Harrisburg disaster. Fox believes that Baker would triumph in a one-on-one issue-oriented confrontatio with Senator Kennedy, “hands down.’’ Lurking in the background of the GOP race is the conceivably formidable candidacy of former North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) European forces commander Alexander Haig. Haig, as you may remember,was the rising star in Nixon's White House and the caretaker chief executive as Nixon’s presidency faltered during the final days of the summer of 1974. Although Haig has never participated in the conventional political arena (he rose to prominence through the military ranks) his strong defense views and conservative philosophy are widely known. If detached charisma is what the GOP is looking for they could find their man in Alexander Haig. The former general is expected to announce his candidacy shortly. More and more the republicans are aiming their guns at Senator Kennedy, who by a large margin is leading all the Republican candidates in the polls. Taking pot shots at Carter is becoming too easy and very probably bootless as Kennedy is increasingly perceived as the likely Democratic candidate. As the primaries near, there is increasing pressure on GOP candidates to take up independent positions that will contrast them with their rivals. Although an out and out fracas is unlikely to develop (the candidates profess to get along well with each other), there will probably be some minor skirmishing on the road to Detroit. Whether it will be substantive or not is an entirely different question. Draft Kennedy movement burgeoning in WNY by Bradshaw Hovey It may be Jimmy Carter’s apparent inability to cope with America’s economic and energy problems that has provided the foundation for the growing nation-wide effort to draft Senator Edward M. Kennedy for the 1980 Democratic Presidential nomination. But one of the leaders of the local ‘Draft Kennedy’ movement says that Carter's failures aren't the main reasons for his involvement. University District Councilman Eugene M. Fahey, who is one of four Erie County Co-chairmen of the Committee, explained, “1 came to Kennedy because I like Kennedy’s politics in and of itself. It’s not "a’ reaction to Carter.” “Kennedy’s social philosophy obviously is to the left,” said Fahey, “or more liberal than the mainstream and yet he has a strong appeal in the mainstream.” FahcV also cited Kennedy’s “ability to bring the ‘best and the brightest’ together and lead us forward." Joining-Fahey as co-chairpersons of Western New York’s Kennedy ’80 Committee arc Ellicott District Councilman James W. Pitts, Vietnam veteran activist Dan Amigonc, and senior citizen activist Lynn Klein. William A. Price, an attorney and Fahey’s predecessor as University Councilman, is serving as committee coordinator. Old and deep ties Erie County Democratic Leader Joseph F. Cranglc, meanwhile, is openly in support of slipping Jimmy Carter. Cranglc is thus far unwilling to breach party etiquette by opposing a sitting Democratic President. However, Crangle’s tics to the Kennedy family arc old and deep and as the primaries close in. Cranglc will be more prone to defect. ‘‘No one is going to out-Kenncdy Joe Cranglc,” said the Democratic leader. One insider indicated that Crangle’s quiet, support of the President has less to do with party loyalty than with the Chairman’s preoccupation with the 1979 race for Eric County Executive. Cranglc is working furiously to elect Frank McGuire in hopes of recouping some of the patronage power lost when Jimmy Griffin cleaned house at City Hall. Chairman Crangle was an early and active supporter of Robert Kennedy when th«> late Senator ran for the Presidency in 1968, and rode on the funeral train after Kennedy’s 1968 assassination. The Western New .York Kennedy '80 Committee is engaged in “systematic organizing work in Eric and Niagara Counties. We arc looking for support from both elected officials and grassroots people,” Price said. So far 17 local elected officials have openly joined the Committee, including nine members of the Buffalo Common Council. ,, Fund-raising efforts Kennedy “won’t be handed the nomination,” said Price, “he’ll have to win it.” The New York State Primary will be held next April. As local fund-raising efforts are being stepped up, the Committee is working to arrange an appearance by pn unnamed “major speaker” for an October 29 event at the Wilcox Mansion, Price disclosed. The Committee plans to publish a fullpage local newspaper ad calling for Senator Kennedy’s candidacy. The ads will include the names of 1000-2000 Kennedy backers who have contributed a minimum of five dollars each. The Western New York Kennedy ’80 Committee is one of about 35 such organizations nationwide, all of which have been formally disavowed by Senator Kennedy in letters to the Federal Election Commission.

Although rank and file union support for the Draft Kennedy has been forthcoming, iinlon officials have declined to give their nod. This could change soon. Price indicated. Price predicted that local union support will be broad based due to the United Auto Workers Union’s decision to remain non-commital on candidate endorsements, leaving members to decide on their individual preferences.

Sensing that a loss in Florida under seemingly favorable circumstances could be devastating. Carter forces are afready issuing disclaimers. Yes, they admit, Florida is a southern state and therefore Carter country, and yes, they concede, that it should be a Carter stronghold, but no, they say, it isn’t realty that important because of aB of Carter’s trump cards, Florida is his winner of the New England primaries, propelling him to the forefront of the race. His victories in the first primaries were given such credence by the press, that on one week in March both Timet and Newsweek pasted Carter’s soon-to-be ubiquitous grin on their covers. Not since Bruce.Springsteen rocked on the news weeklies in the Fall of 1975 had a relative unknown made such a coup. j The urgency of early primary victories was not lost on candidate Morris UdaB who finished second to Carter in numerous primaries—eight in all before the campaign was over. Discarding the political canon that a candidate should never declare that he “must win” In a certain state in order to be a legitimate force, UdaB announced that victory in relatively liberal Wisconsin was essential to his campaign. So anxious was Udall to wipe the cheesy smile off Career’s countenance in Wisconsin that he declared victory at 11 p.m. on primary night while clinging to a tenuous 38 to 37 percent lead. When Udall awoke the next morning the egg was on his face for Carter had eeked out a one-point victory. Udall was forced to retract his victory statement, concede defeat; Wisconsin cost him his viability as a winning candidate. ' ' Men* Cuts Reg. $9 NOW S7 Save $2 - i.

Smarting from Jack Kennedy’s early victories, Humphrey maintained that West Virginia, a non-New England largely non-Catholk state was the real test of their relative strengths. The media subsequently portrayed the contest as a must-win situation for Humphrey. He lost and the public lost confidence in him as a candidate. Not only are the media successfully able to overplay the importance of a single primary victory, turning a seemingly modest triumph into a springboard for success, but they possess the power to transform a defeat into a victory by proclaiming that the loser did better than expected. Hence, the loser becomes the winner. So when peace candidate Eugene McCarthy did relatively well against the vulnerable President Johnson in New Hampshire in 1968—not better than Johnson, just well—the media raised McCarthy’s arm in triumph, seriously undermining Johnson’s candidacy. Johnson soon dropped out, Robert Kennedy moved irv, and a whole new race was on. The Brown factor This year the principle is the same but the roles have reversed. Challenger Ted Kennedy is perceived as an unbeatable force while the incumbent Carter is seen as the struggling underdog. Carter carries the heavy burdens of his perceived failures ih office—most importantly his inability to lead—but also possesses a paradoxical advantage of being the underdog in New England. Everyone from the staunchest Kennedy supporters to Carter staffers has agreed that the New ‘ Hampshire and Massachusetts primaries will be swept by Kennedy by huge margins, if Carter tallies more than half as many votes as Kennedy in either state, it may be seen as a significant plus for his side. Also at play in New England is the maverick candidacy of Cabtomia’s Zen Governor Jerry Brown. Brown could unwittingly play into the trembling hands, of the Carter carhpaign by helping to split the anti-Carter vote with Kennedy, making the president appear stronger than he is relative to Kennedy.’ Kennedy’s perceived invincibility in New England has consequently detracted from the importance of the primaries there—the New Hampshire contest has always been considered to be the most important of all because, as the nation’s first, It usually establishes a frontrunner—and aH eyes are now focused on what is essentially an absolutely meaningless series of party caucuses in Florida next week. There, Democratic - weakest. A move to the right Meanwhile, both Kennedy and Carter will be spending their tinge and energies attempting to shad damaging images; Kennedy of the view that he Isa freespending New Deal liberal in essentially conservative times, and Carter of the perception that he is a bumbling neophyte with little ability to lead. No matter what Kennedy does once his campaign begins in earnest, he will begin to lose votes. If he continues to spout his liberal views, he will surely feel the sting of the conservative backlash. More likely, as he has already indicated, the senator will gradually edge to the political center endeavoring to siphon.off crucial middleof-the-road votes. He angered many of his leftist backers in a recent speech in which he claimed that the time of New Deal politics is behind us and that individual determination and effort, not expensive government- More significant is the nonissue of Chappaquidick which Carter and Republican hopefuls have managed to mention that they have no intention of mentioning at every chance they get financed programs, are the ticket to the prosperity of the ’80’s. He has begun to sound the call for incentives for private business and his more liberal followers are beginning to shudder at the sound of his oratories to corporate interests. More than likely, this will lead Kennedy backers to pull the Kennedy lever less ' enthbsl&rically, but pull it just the More significant is the non-issue of Chappaquidick which Carter and Republican hopefuls have managed to .mention that they have no intention of mentioning at every chance they get. Tennessee Senator Howard Baker declared that Chappaquidick is not an issue and that he will avoid bringing up the subject in a campaign, evoking memories of Vice-President.Richard.Nixon’s repeated declarations in 1960 that Jack Kennedy’s Catholicism was not an issue, thereby making it an issue. Even if Kennedy’s opponents do fail to pounce on Kennedy’s one glaring weakness, they are sure to receive all the help they could hope for horn the media who are seemingly unable to resist the opportunity to revive memories of.the scandal. Carter entered the foray r&ently, not by mentioniong it outright, but rather claiming that he had the ability to not panic in a crisis. Carter later resolutely denied that he was alluding to the Kennedy misfortune, but the resuh was that the issue was thrust once again into the national spotlight. Acting tough The president has the more difficult task at hand of proving that he is worthy of the White House, that he is a capable leader. Significantly, he is embarking on much the same path that opponent Ford did in 1976: acting presidential. Ford tried to prove that he could be tough, that America was not about to be shoved around, with his handling of the Mayaguez incident. Similarly, Carter seeks to demonstrate that he too can be tough with the Russians by deploying a marine brigade at Guantanamo Bay in reaction to the discovery of 2P00 Soviet“C9mbat troops” stationed at CSsbal The fact that the Soviet force hasbeen stationed there for years and more accurately is representative of the status quo than of a newlydesigned pernicious attempt by the Russians to invade American shores was discarded by Carter (or the media image that he is a competent, tough, steady-handed leader. The unfortunate result for Carter is that liberals feel he overreacted to the Soviet force and conservative senators contend that more must |?e done in the face of this new Red danger before SALT II can be ratified. Being perceived as the front runner in primary scrapes by the media and consequently by the voting public is the single most important test faced by a candidate. , county caucuses will choose delegates to the November state convention where an unofficial straw vote will be taken on the presidency. The straw vote is equally unimportant since half the delegates will be chosen by party regulars loyal to Carter. Delegates to the national convention won’t be chosen until the Florida primary in March. But since Carter is expected to fail miserably in New England, and Kennedy is currently perceived as the unbeatable titan preparing to launch Camelot II, the Carter forces are pouring massive amour*money and effort in Florida to gain as many dei«.ga.«,„ 10 the state convention as possible. Although the state convention has no bearing on the state primary in March, a victory in a Carter stronghold would be viewed as a damaging blow to the president. ->< Jimmy who? in Iowa So next week’s battles arc clearly a media event.

SP — — , • What you see Carter is also playing the patronage-ahd-favors game more than ever before. Influencial state Democrats have received unexpected invitations to the White House and Floridians have been given some important patronage jobs. All this clearly grates against Carter, who entered presidential politics in 1976 as the Washington outsider and now, much to his dismay, is Washington’s most inside insider. Rather than be pious and lose, tHe President has chosen the politically more expedient route of playing the old game by the old rules. Once Carter offtciaUy.dcclares his candidacy he will be able to fall back on a strong record that includes the Camp David accord, the Panama Canal treaty, a reduction in unemployment, four years of peace and hopefully a ratified SALT II. But throughout the campaign, Carter will have to prove to the cynical populous that in addition to his documented successes, he is a man capable of leading a nation and gamering its support, even in such essentially meaningless arenas as next week’s Florida caucuses.

New scoring system will hurt UB volleyball play-off chance ' by Tony Petti Staff Writer Spectrum The change to the Saylor scoring system, which virtually penalizes Division III Volleyball teams who face upper Division opponents may close the door on the UB Royals’ playoff chances. Coach Peter Weinrich, who worked three years to set the Royals’ present schedule which is loaded with upper Division contests, must now re-work his strategy to keep UB’s hopes alive. “Rather than play more games with the weaker Division III schools, I decided to schedule games with more skilled out of state opponents,’’ Weinrich stated. Presently, Weinrich is using his starters for the length of the matches while keeping his future athletes on the bench. “We can't afford to lose any games early in the season trying out new people like we have in the past,” Weinrich predicted. The Saylor system, which limits scheduling to inter-state schools, consists of a set of point values for each match, depending on whether it occurred against a Division I, II or 111 school The system, already in use for women’s basketball, has been implemented by every collegiate volleyball progaram in New York - State.

He said money from the rentals might be used in the development of a cross country ski trail on the Amherst Campus. At the next meeting of the programming committee, the remaining $3100 will be allocated. Siggelkow said' a Commuter newsletter will probably get around $500, and a series of student-faculty coffee hours will be allocated $300.

Most often mentioned were registration complications and course and bursar check stops. While Wittemann pointed out that each point noted had limited impact, he added that together they influenced leaving. The reason forWittemann’s report—the first to survey those who have left instead of those who remain—was to ascertain why students leave. In contrast. Vice President for Student Affairs Richard Siggelkow recently submitted the findings of an attrition/retention report—a study done by a committee he chaired—to Ketter. That report, which the ghoup worked on for over one year, recommended 101 ways to improve student life here. Siggelkow’s committee primarily interviewed students currently at UB—asking them why they thought their peers left and what could be done to prevent future attrition. Many University offices, he said, are involved in studying the attrition at this University. “Although each of these groups are contributing information as it relates to the University,” he concluded, “none have directed their efforts in asking their questions of the attritioned population, nor have they yet determined who, in fact, left.” _ — Not that high Attrition rates, Wittemann explained, have become a central focus of a number of offices as well as the agencies which direct their activities. He added that attrition has become a focus of accrediting agencies, not merely because it represents a loss, but also to assure that the rates are reasonable. Figures compiled by Wittemann shew that undergraduate attrition here has fluctuated within one percent over a six year period. “Although,” he stated, “it appears that the University may be on a downward trend in its attrition problem, the projection to 1978-79 and 1979-80 does not affirm this conjecture.” The rate, he concluded, seems to rise and fall as in previous years. Of the 9,249 students (full-time DUE) eligible to return between the Spring 1978 and Fall 1978 semesters, 2,788 were freshmen; 2,609 were sophomores; 3,120 were juniors; 717 were seniors and IS were non-degree. Non-retuming students totaled 1,262—the greatest pdrtion generally coming from lower division (freshmen and sophomores). Not so happy The top reasons cited by students of attrition are as follows: UB and/or classes too large; transfered to a college with a better department; dissatisfied with teaching at UB; transferred to a smaller college; unhappy with busing between campuses; lack of faculty advisejpmt; inability to understand faculty member(s); excessive emphasis on grades; lack of DUE advisement; too many bureaucratic problems; and disappointment over low grades. Wittemann said that among criticisms of unapproachable instructors were many related to the foreign staff. He referred to sentiments such as: “I couldn’t understand a number of my profs” and “I was not pleased with the amount of foreign instructors employed by the college. For the amount of stress put tin your grades, then instruction Shduld bi precise, clear and understandable.” Engineering was stressed as a major problem area with regard to communication. One student wrote, “Your students are treated as just a number I will discourage and advise anyone from not attending your school. Very cold atmosphere.” Another stated, “Split campuses really caused apathy and division among students. Always hear of budget cuts, problems with Psych Department, and cheating in Management. Local IRC was a ... joke. . . This and that Some felt courses were too easy “1- received very good grades, but I felt that I had learned absolutely nothing My .grades seemed to be tokens for just showing up.” Others were pressured “The major I was in was Chcm. The courses were designed to eliminate so many students. That isn’t why I go to school, to be eliminated. I want to be taught, not . barked at.” The Administration was hit too. One respondent said, “. The main problem with UB is that the Administration is far too out of touch with students. It perceives them as inferior beings and has put too high a priority on fiscal responsibility as opposed to the quality of education and services at the University.” But teachers came up again and again. “Nobody cares or would notice if someone were missing it’s not a school, it’s a jungle,” one said. . . . . . . . . . . . - Crisis ... Intervention Some credit UB Still, some students credited UB as a worthwhile institution and predietd problems would heal themselves in the future. One maintained, “UB is a gopd school and will be even better after building improvements and building is done. That time is still too far in the future though, so I chose a school which has it now.” Wittemann said of the report, that it is known that efforts must be directed toward providing a sense of smallness or dosemess to the students. “We should encourage faculty and student interction at all levels with hopes of building a morale that is not based on course achievement alone,” he noted.

But this year’s impact may be more devastating—hitting the University with an even greater loss of faculty and staff positions and slashing budgets not only next year but, possibly, affecting long-range construction funding. Executive Vice President Albert Somit told the Faculty Senate Tuesday that the University missed its target by 430 actual students or, converted to the numerical jargon of the State Division of Budget (DOB), about 800 Full Time Equivalents (FTE’s) students. Somit attributed (his shortage—a difference betwecti. expectations and actual numbers—primarily to shortages in the night school and transfer student enrollments. Last year’s FTE total also fell about 800 or 900 under target —a projection- that Albany used to determine how much money UB had to survive on this year. Because of this shortfall, 24 faculty positions and 12 staff positions were lost from Academic Affairs. Health Sciences, the other sector of the institution, gained 12 faculty slots. Somit explained that no one was actually fired from their jobs, but that as vacancies arose through transfers, retirement or death, they were simply never filled—and, in essence, a “line” is lost. Some point out that the University deliberately sets aside vacancies as a buffer for lean budget who by no means takes the loss of 36 total positions lightly. He expalined that UB officials had asked the DOB not to slash any lines because of Iasi year’s shortfall, but said that even though those 36 lines were cut, “considerably more could have been lost based purely on the FTE numbers.” Wagner also said that the staff positions lost were in instructional areas, such as departmental typists and secretaries. He suggested that staff positions used to serve students—maintenance or food service workers—could have been trimmed as well. “Albany was prepared to ride with us last year,” Somit said. The Vice President hopes that DOB will not slice a significant chunk of UB lines from next year’s budget. But, because this is the second time in a row that UB was off target, Somit acknowledged there is a “very real danger” that UB pleas will fall on deaf ears. Serious risk Not only can this Fail’s enrollment shortfall drain riext year’s operating budget, but it can also effect the school’s construction money. University Comptroller William Baumer explained that the DOB provides the University with two budgets: the operating budget and the capital construction budget. The operating budget pays for equipment, services, supplies as well as salaries. The capital construction budget covers building costs. Baumer explained that, while the operating budget is fairly heavily influenced by years. enrollment figures, the capital construction budget is based more on long While the loss of vacant slots may not initially appear disasterous, it range planning. He stressed that only if enrollments are extremely short, serves to jeopardize the quality of this University. Diversity of faculty and could construction possibly suffer. But he noted that there is a “serious perspectives can be eroded; workloads grow heavier; some faculty become risk of losing faculty . that’s the first place it comes off.” discouraged while others become cynical when faced with program losses. As of Friday, only University-wide enrollment figures were.available, not a breakdown among various sectors. Wagner explained that there was some Lines slashed confusion in the coding of students, resulting in about S00 students being Some, however, believe last year’s losses could have been much worse. “unclassified.” He said that mix-up should be solved next week. But no “It depends on your perspective,” said Somit’s assistant, Robert Wagner, matter how it breaks down, he said, UB will still be 4S0 students off target. . —Dennis R.

Parker Editor-m-Chief SUNY officials have selected the three presidents who will evaluate UB President Robert L. Ketter, but have refused to release their names. According to Murray Block, Deputy to SUNY Chancellor Clifton R. Wharton, although selected, the three-person team has not been finalized. Block told The Spectrum that Chancellor Wharton has sentKetter their names and the UB President will arrange the site-visit schedule with them. Block said he could not release the names—it was up to the Chancellor. He explained that the team may not be able to arrange a time where they can all visit UB for the three-day review. If this is the case, he said, then new people will have to ' - ... be chosen; hence, his reluctance to disclose their names Ketter, who has been out sick all week, will not unveil the committee’s make-up yet either, accordihg to his assistant, Ron Stein. “The Chancellor should stop playing political games and release the names so the University can get down to the business of evaluating Ketter,” remarked Student Association (SA) President Joel Mayersohn. Four schools Block said that the Chancellor, who has been in China for over a week, may release the committee’s make-up tomorrow.

The Canisius Griffins’ effective ground game and smart passing attack during the second half continually drilled holes in the Bulls’ defensive unit on Saturday, propelling the visitors to a come-frombehind 21-18 victory at Rotary Field. “They aren’t a better ballclub than we are,” argued Bulls’ defensive end Jack Dunbar while sitting in the grave-like atmosphere of the post-game locker room. “We beat ourselves. Their two touchdowns came on two big plays—two breakdowns on our part.” Arch-rival Canisius’ second score came with less than five minutes remaining in the game on a 37-yard toss grabbed by tight end Mark Lloyd over a leaping UB defensive back. “The ball was up there for the two of them, and the Canisius guy just caught it,” Dunbar observed. The clutch reception enabled the Griffs to turn an 18-14 the deficit into a 21-18 advantage, which they remainder of the contest. prized “brickline” most UB quarterback Jim Rodriguez refused to go down without a fight, quickly moving the Bulls from their own 20-yard line to the 44, but a costly sack by Canisius’ Ron Stein sealed the 1979 Hoover Trophy’s fate. Following his 145-yard, 17 for 35 passing performance, Rodriguez felt disappointed at the Bulls’ inability to piece together a sustained drive. “We’d run real well at times, but then we couldn’t do anything,” he lamented. '“We should mix it up more between the pass and the run, grind out those 60, 70-yard drives. We can’t rely on the three play drives.” More injuries Rodriguez mentioned injuries as contributing to the loss but failed to name himself as one of the wounded. Athletic trainer Mike Rielly revealed that the Bulls’ prized signal caller hurt his left arm and was scheduled for X-rays later on Saturday. However, it was believed that Rodriguez’ ailment might have been slight compared to UB wide receiver Gary Quatrani’s injury. “Quatrani hurt his knee,” Rielly described. “But he has non-specific symptoms, and we can’t really tell Inside: The Pope cometh—P. 6 —continued on / pane Nazi nightmares—P. 11 / COME BACK HERE: A Canisms defender has a strong grip on US's Math Mare., who is about to go- down.

The woman’s voice trembled, “It breaks your heart! It breaks your heart!” Fonda stopped and waited to hear more, bof theold woman'fadedinto the crowd. A few minutes later, Fonda addressed about 4S0 residents, students and media people from the steps of the Love Canal Homeowner Association’s Community House in Niagara Falls. “The tragedy is so immense, it’s difficult to talk,” she said. “I’ll never forget this day. Tom and 1 will do all we can." The activist couple flew in from the New York City early Thursday morning for the NYPIRGsponsored “Care-a-Van” to the Love Canal. Over 300 people gathered under the grey morning sky at Buffalo’s City Hall to hear speeches, sign petitions for increased economic aid to Love Canal residents, and see America’s most politically active film star. President of the Love Canal Homeowner’s Association Lois Gibbs told The Spectrum, “We’re here to unite communities and students to focus media attention on the plight of the Canal residents. The Federal and Stale governments are fooling around while our families are dying. People are angry, and Jane and Tom will help get them involved." Rich man, poor man When Fonda and Hayden arrived the crowd surged forward, bristling with lenses and microphones. Hayden lamented that “The city once known for its great water fall is now known for its Love Canal.” The couple emphasized the national scale of nuclear and chemical waste problems. Hayden told of the Occidental Chemical Corporation’s “poisoning California’s water”, while his wife described the cancer epidemic in the small, south Utah town of St. George—reportedly caused by radioactive fallout from atomic testing in Nevada. “The citizens of small towns” don’t count. Those who aren’t rich don’t count. They’re considered expendable,” Fonda said. After the brief rally, the couple rode by chartered bus to the Hooker Chemical Plant accompanied by local student government leaders and press. Hayden told The Spectrum “There has been a complete failure of government and business to explain and solve problems. Corporations are given continued legal exemptions —they’re granted immunity.” “Corporations aren’t inherently evil,” he conceded, “but if it’s Seabrook rally An on-campus vigil against nuclear power and weapons started Saturday and will run throughput the week.

Guinea pigs While NYPIRG co-ordinator Steven Vitoff pointed out various factories polluting the landscape, Fonda told the crowd, “It’s very clear that major accidents are inevitable. Even while on our tour, significant leaks have occurred. In Arizona, Minnesota, Virginia—everywhere I go—corporations don’t care about communities.” When the group reached the Hooker Chemical Plant, Hayden, Fonda, and Gibbs transferred to a yellow school bus reserved for Love Canal parents and children. The “Care-a-Van” then proceeded to the Love Canal Rally site. Several homeowners detailed their experiences as cameras clicked, tapes spun and a newscopter circled overhead. One resident, Barbara Quimby, described herself as a life-time victim of Love Canal.” She said, “They tell us not to spend more than one hour a week in our cellar and that it’s unsafe to be home during the day.” She then bitterly remarked, “Our house is no good and our land is no good. Our families are guinea pigs and the government doesn’t care.” Petitions to Carey Fonda revealed that she will be making a new film in California, See No Evil, which she called The China Syndrome of toxic chemicals.” The husband and wife team informed the people they would be traveling to the State capitol Friday to give Governor Hugh L. Carey —Dennis R. the demanding increased Stale aid for Canal residents. Immediately after the rally, Fl^ss Fonda and Hayden were to survey the area and then attend a fundraising benefit at Niagara’s Executive Inn. - Too long in the neighborhood without a clean bill of health?

Continued, unexplained illness has forced the Gibbs’ to abandon their home and live in a motor lodge. Their seven year old son Michael has lived by the Love Canal all his life. He has suffered from respiratory infections, skin rashes.car infections, and pneumonia. He has been operated on twice for urinary blockage and he suffers from asthma and epilepsy—all with no explainable physical causes. But physical discomfort is not all. "My son Michael was going to the 99th St. School, but they closed that one down.' So they bused him across town to Cleveland Avenue School.

I’d go home feeling fine, and wake up with them again the next morning” he said. The station wagon turns onto Colvin Blvd., past rows of clean new homes sealed shut with wooden boards. Ten foot-high fences surround entire blocks and, save for an occasional security guard, the sidewalks are deserted. “They tell you not to go in the cellar”, he said, “or the den, or the bedroom-where are you supposed to live?” The Love Canal residents and local politicians are proposing a bill that would have New York State purchase—at a reasonable market price—the homes ol residents wanting to leave the area. Would the Gibbs family sell out and move? “Today?” he remarks, “Tr lust week.” �4u Prof denied tenure despite recognized teaching skill by Mark Meltzer Campus Editor Assistant Professor Daniel A. Novak— considered by many an excellent instructor in UB’s Political Science Department—has been denied tenure and his appointment be will “terminated”at the end of the academic year, University officials recently disclosed. Novak got a 10-4-1 vote of approval from his Department, but Kenneth Levy, Dean of the Faculty of-Social Sciences under which the Political Science Department falls, did not belifeve Novak’s record of research and publication was sufficient for him to be granted tenure. In his six years here, Novak has published just one item—a book based on his doctoral dissertation. While compliments of his teaching skills are almost universal, his detractors point to his publishing record as inadequate for tenure. “That’s just not a level of performance that 1 would like to set as a model for the Faculty of Social Sciences to aspire to,” Levy said. To earn tenure —which virtually guarantees a professor employment until he retires —a candidate fnust demonstrate competence in research, teaching and service to the University. According to Levy, a professor “probably ought to devote an equal amount of effort to research and teaching” to get tenure. But Dean of Undergraduate Education John J. Peradotto—a Novak supporter 1—believes that tenure decisions at UB are “far to heavily weighted” on the side of research performance, leaving skilled professors at a severe disadvantage compared to more well-published colleagues. The reason for the weighting, Peradotto said, is the inability of the University Administration to objectively judge an instructor’s teaching skill. “Nobody had really developed a set of criteria that would be acceptable and adequate for both sides (those that stress teaching and those that stress research).” he said. teaching load is heaVy.” Lewis however, fought on the side of a sociology professor, Richard Wanner, who was denied tenure on similar grounds last year. Novak is currently appealing his case under a clause in his contract that allows him to do so if he has Lighter load garnered votes of support. The Conversely, Levy is “proud” of support he has is impressive, UB’s reputation. “I think what did not get the support although he distinguishes a University Center is he needed—from University that we provide an opportunity for President Robert Kctter, who made faculty members to engage in the final decision.

' * ° Student leaders announce Ketter referendum to media In a Squire Hall press conference student representatives broke the news—officially—that they will hold a referendum assessing President Robert L. Ketter’s performance. Student representative to the University Council, Michael Pierce, Student Association (|SA) President, Joel Mayersohn and President of the Graduate Student Association (GSA) Joyce Pinn, told the campus press and two local radio stations (WBER and WGR) that the refemdum will not be limited to students, as originally planned, but wilt include faculty and staff. Pierce said that since the entire University is obviously influenced by the President and his actions, it was decided that a “Universitywide referendum would be in order.” The referendum asks whether or not the respondent has confidence in Ketter’s ability to continue in his posit,' “based on your (the respondent’s) knowledge of the University and the President.” On October 30 and 31, ballot boxes will be placed in prominent locations on both campuses. There will be three separate boxes, one for each constituence. The Faculty Senate has already decided to sponser its own survey, a more detailed document geared exclusively to the faculty. The multi-question survey is now being revised by a Senate committee. Since new presidential evaluation guidelines from the SUNY Trustees James Blackhurst that he be given permission to hold the media event in Abbott Library. Pierce claims that Blackhurst agreed to space in Abbott, but then changed his mind.

Mayersohn cautioned that the intent of the survey must not be misinterpreted, especially in light of the furor a year and one-half ago. At that time, doubts about Ketter’s qualifications as President were resulting in a rampant, “No Confidence” vote from both Preneta L. Katter. From left. Student Association President Joel Mayersohn, University Council rep Michael Pierce, and Graduate Student Association President Joyce Pinn. the undergrad and graduate associations. “By no means,” Mayersohn said, “is this a ‘witch hunt;’ it is a careful analysis of the term of Robert Ketter.” Mayersohn noted that October is slated as a month for student discussion of the President and the future of the University. He said that “fact sheets”, press releases and, if Ketter and his administrative staff agree, public speeches. “This is a serious matter,” GSA President Pinn emphasized. “Ever since the beginning,” she said, “he (Ketter) has been surrounded by antagonism and turmoil, both internal and external.” Pinn urged all students to weigh the evidence and arrive at their own decision. Room scheduling for the press conference stirred controversy. Originally, Pierce requested from Dean of Continuing Education Blackhurst, however, claims that no final arrangements were made. He told The Spectrum that “I told Pierce I would put him on the schedule but I had to check it out first.” Blackhurst maintains that he never thought the room was a good place because it overlooks a working floor and that a press conference “could have been disruptive” to the people working. When Blackhurst rejected the request, Pierce went to speak with Vice President for Facilities Planning John Neal. Pierce said, “I was being prohibited from using a University room for a public meeting.” Neal, however, explained that Pierce’s request was denied because Blackhurst felt it could serve as a disturbance and had nothing to do with denying him use of University facilities. Blackhurst related that he also checked with the University’s Public Affairs office, which said this type of meeting usually occurs in Squire Hall-the student union. Closing of UB’s music Center would be cultural drain on City by Joyce Howe Managing Editor After 16 years of providing Buffalo with culture through the sound of modern music, the UB Center for the Creative and Performing Arts is in danger of being silenced. The Center is the home for the Creative Associates, a large group of composers and performers from many countries and American cities. Together, they have played to audiences in such diverse concert halls as the Albright Knox Art Gallery and Carnegie Hall. The performers have also traveled through Europe gaining a reputation among both national and international music lovers. At a meeting last Thursday, Chairman of the UB Music Department William Thomson told the Center’s two Music Morton Directors, Feldman—well-known avant- and garde composer Department professor—and Jan Williams also a Department professor—plus former Director Lajarcn Hiller, that the closing of the Center was imminent. Its first major — concert on October 14 will also be its last In Friday’s Courier Express Thomson said, “We don’t have enough of what it takes to keep it going,” referring to the necessary money to support the program.

Last summer a group of UB instructors carried out the first “literacy” survey in the history of this University. A 1970 Louis Harris Poll cited 18.5 'million educated Americans 16 years and older as functional illiterates. Other numerous studies have backed those findings. But the most widely used indicator of ineptness in reading and writing are scores on the verbal section of the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT)—and their decline since 1966. College students’ inability to communicate clearly and written competently in expression has, some charge, become the most glaring failure of American educators. Students have come to reser' writing while resisting efforts to bolster their weak skills. Professors regard functional illiterates as the norm and are continually frustrated by the image of potentially brilliant minds that are locked shut by illiteracy. UB’s own problem Instructors at this University last summer studied the writing performance of the Fall 1979 freshman class and found a “serious literacy crisis” on state a campus at. university—center where only applicants of the top 12 percent of high School graduating classes are admitted to first year ranks. The group which conducted the survey was made up of six University instructors from various ranks. '“We simply did not know,” they wrote, ‘‘if it was possible that the drop in SAT verbal scores had signaled a commensurate decline in writing ability in our incoming freshmen.” The writing abilities of the 3,000 or so annuallyadmitted first year students had never before been assessed.

Director of Environmental Health and Safety (EHS) Robert Hunt itas indicated his office is unaware of such complaints. Workers in Acheson insist, however, that they called EHS last Fall and the inspector who investigated the claim discounted the seriousness of the fumes, blaming the chemical odors on minor ventilation problems. Workers in Acheson—whom did not wish to be identified —contacted The Spectrum last month about the fumes, after all previous efforts to remedy the situation had failed. They claim the chemical fumes—specifically ether—have cuased headaches, heart palpitations and extreme cases of sleepiness. “No one has ever complained to us about the fumes,” Hunt said, adding: “We wouldn’t let anyone work in an office if it’s deterimental to their health.” He explained that EHS conducts inspections of all University laboratories “at least once a year” and various other surveys when the need arises. _ Study requested One source in Acheson, however, specifically remembers calling EHS about chemical fumes “around a year ago.” An EHS investigator came to Agheson, the source maintains, and explained that the wind on top of Acheson often blows the fumes back through the intake ducts. He left, the source said, claiming the problem was not serious enough to warrant any changes. Hunt indicated he had no recollection of the incident, and no report about the claim is on file. He did, however, point out that the wind-duct problem that the source claims an investigator cited is valid. Back in September 1977, then Executive Officer of the Chemistry Department DuPont Durst requested that EHS perform “a routine air flow rate reading” on the ventiliatioh hoods in each chemistry laboratory. Hunt said that his office conducted the survey on October 3-4, 1977, and found “nothing of major importance” wrong with the hoods. They made seven that the numbers are well within safety levels. recommendations which were then forwarded to Most hoods have doors attached which can the Office of Facilities Planning—which has the regulate the air flow depending upon the responsibility to forward a renovation’s budget experiment being conducted he said. request to Albany.

According to Construction Associate for Facilities Planning Dwane Moore, the repairs have yet to be started, even though the survey was completed two years ago. “It was too late to include the request in the ‘77-‘78 budget,” Moore maintained, “and it was denied last year because a lack of funds.” He added that an escalated request of $164,000 was made for this year’s budget, whether it is approved will not be known until April. maintains accuracy of disputed UB theft articles Hunt said he would not allow a building to be occupied if.the health of any worker is in danger. “If someone is getting sick, I’d like to have him examined and take some air samples to see what the story is,” he exclaimed. On September 18, a laboratory technician claimed to have become “totally anesthetized” by the ether gases in Acheson. He was given the rest of the day off. Hunt explained that the hoods in each laboratory have an air flow rate “of anywhere from 50 to 125 linear feet per minute.” He added Acting together The Courier’s Farina further charged the libraries with invoking a “news blackout” last Thursday, denying him information on the inventory currently underway, “while they (library officials) were trying to get their act together.” But no such blackout existed, declared UB Public Affairs Director James R. DeSantis, who further indicated that the library officials specifically even told the Courier reporter that he had full access as did Buffalo Evening News and WKBW television reporters that afternoon, to its resources. “We weren’t even talking fast to him,” DeSantis remarked. The Courier articles described the nine stolen books—and the collection and Another Production Workshop of which they were a part—as “rare.” “But we must have explained it to (Farina) 48 times,” DeSantis said, “that the books were not rare. They were probably worth two or three bucks apiece.” The media confusion was generated, University officials maintained, from the boxes labeled “rare” containing the books. Bertholf said that the printing was only supposed to designate the books’ final destination—the Rare Books Collection on the fourth floor of Capen Hall —not their worth. “Mr. Farina,” Bertholf speculated, “has a low sense of veracity.” Never seen daylight The collection, approximately 200,000 books, has been in the University’s hands since the late 1%0’s, UB News Bureau director John Thurston said. The collection had been stored previously in the Bell Laboratory Facility on Elmwood Avenue until its shift to the Amherst campus a few years ago. A large portion of the books, he pointed out, “have never seen daylight since that time.’V-. Since the cataloging and shelving process is very expensive, Thurston said, the books—for the most part old and unessential—were never removed from their boxes. Library officials are currently taking an inventory of the.boxed book collection. Since, according to Bertholf, the lists of the books are “inaadequate”, it is not even certain if any books at all are missing. Farina cannot, officials claim, therefore cite any cost or number figures. "Mr. Farina does not understand how a library works. His articles reflect his confusion, not ours.” Still, Farina told The Spectrum on Friday that he expects to unearth, with the help of his unidentified sources, even more news regarding the UB Libraries’ inefficiency and the alleged thousands of dollars worth of stolen materials. “1 feel badly for the University,” he added.

A question UB Libraries and Public Affairs officials have been asking themselves recently is: Why is Tony Farina saying all of those terrible things about UB in the Buffalo Courier-Express? In a barrage of articles written by Fauna in the Courier last week, the investigative reporter charged that the University libraries have lost thousands of dollars worth of rare books and art work due to theft in the past year. Furthermore, citing anonymous yet “corraborating and reliable” sources, he charged that the University had tried “to quietly buy back the missing goods without making an issue of the loss.” The story was born last Week when nine books-were found in a Buffalo west side business office nlh by a suspect arrested during a city drug investigation. The books, UB Rare Books Curate/ Robert Bertholf, described as “esoteric but not rare” were part of large donation stored in the basement of Capen Hall for over a year.

New Yorkers jam streets for Pope’s Stadium service NEW YORK CITY, October 3-Old women Tom Buchanan fell to their knees, policemen wept. Thousands of people gathered from miles around New York City to stand in pouring rain. Nothing has ever excited the Big Apple like last week’s visit of PopeJohn Paul II. Outside Yankee Stadium people screamed for tickets, offering as much as $150 for a single pass to the special Tuesday night mass. But, it wasn’t a Yankee game; there were no scalpers, and no tickets for sale. “Please”, pleaded one man, “I gotta get a ticket, 1 gotta take communion. If 1 can’t take communion, it’s unfair. I’m a Catholic, I’m a good Catholic.” He was a big man, but he had tears in his eyes. Later, as hundred of priests passed through the stands giving communion, a sympathetic police officer opened the gate and let the man inside. When the Pope left the United Nations earlier in the day, a dozen young children ran after the motorcade, trying to get a glimpse of the man they have come to love and respect so much. Anxious people jammed the street surrounding St. Patrick’s Cathedral, while hundreds ofothers filled the mammoth church to capacity. At Madison Square Garden, the Pontiff shared his visions of hope with 17,000 school children from all over the metropolitan area. First he greeted the people from New Jersey, Connecticut, Westchester, and Long Island. Each brought strong cheers and applause from the young audience, but the warmest response arose when he noted the heavily-Catholic borough of Brooklyn. In welcoming the Pope to Madison Square Garden, youngsters joined together in singing popular spiritual songs and then presented the Pontiff with gifts they felt represented youth culture. He smiled broadly when handed blue jeans and an acoustic guitar. It was pouring rain when the Papal motorcade left Madison Square Garden,„£n route to Battery Park. One lady on Broadway said the rain drops were heavenly tears of joy. Another said the crowd was being tested. As the motorcade slowly wound its way through the Wall Street area, tickertape and paper filled the sky, showering the Pontiff with a spectacular ‘New York style’ salute. The Pope waved through the sunroof of his black limousine wearing a raincoat and red hat. A man shouted:“Viva Papa, Viva Papa.” The Pope waved in his direction; the man smiled. It took only 20 seconds for the car to pass out of sight, but in that 20 seconds, everybody got a look at the Pope they had waited hours to see.

He added, "The quality of applicants on the average appears to be considerably poorer.” 0 Teacher Assistants. Fighting the never ending battle for higher stipends, cost of living increases and fair practice. Artificial Barriers Though modest increases in Teaching Assistants Graduate Assistants(GA) stipends have occured in the past few years, the raises hardly correspond with cost of living increases. “It is criminal that some T A’s and GA’s are working for $3500 for ten months, said Graduate Student Association President Joyce Finn. She pointed out that with “spiraling inflation, the stipend turns out to be a very small • amount.”The level of stipends that TA’s and GA’s receive falls within a set range. The absolute maximum stipend-—$5105—is determined by SUNY Central for all SUNY schools and the minimum—$3500for UB—varies with each school. According to Finn, “The bulk of TA’s and GA’s are earning between $3500 and $4200. (see chart) She added that few earn the maximum stipend though the number has increased since last year. (TA) and Though UB falls short of the stipend level of peer institutions in the “hard sciences”, other academic areas seem to fare better. According to Bunn, “The stipends offered here in the Social Sciences and the Humanities are very comparable to other universities.” The funding for TA and GA stipends comes in a bulk sum from the State. Academic Affairs allocates a porportion of this pool to each Faculty which in turn determines the number of TA and GA lines within each department. The lines arc directly dependent upon departmental budgets and enrollment. - Though enrollment has decreased and faculty lines—SUNY term for faculty salary funding—have been cut this year, the number of TA and GA lines have remained intact. Said Bunn, “The University is free to cut or increase the TA and GA lines,*’ the vice president noted, “as long as we comply with the total number of Full Time Equivalent (FI E) instructional lines authorized by the State.” He explained that a faculty position could be created by eliminating four TA positions since one TA line is equal to one-quarter of an FTE line. He added however, that a “conscious effort has been made to deliberately protect these lines.” Not attracting Because of the low level of stipends offered at UB, quality graduate students are being lured to other universities, Vice President of Academic Affairs Ronald F. Bunn acknowledged, “The University is not attracting a high percentage of the most qualified.” He explained however, that does not mean that we are attracting unqualified students. Chairman of Statistics Peter Innis said that with higher stipends, more students apply which results in a larger pool of high quality applicants. Innis added, “The stipends here are not competitive enough to attract the better students in the States,” Politics?

GSA President Joyce Finn objects to the lack of a standard in hiring graduates. She complained, “A problem exists when some (TA’s) are chosen for academic merit, some on financial need and others because of politics.” She added that an across the board policy for hiring is needed. Dean of Graduate and Professional Education Andrew Holt disagrees, maintaining that it is “foolish to set artificial barriers for levels of acceptance.” He explained that grades are never more than a probable predicter of success. �00 5 CL editorial <r: . •* - r** ■ff* I H Time for a new President * Non-decisions To the Editor: /Vof fo decide is to decide The University Administration’s failure to sit down, look hard, examine the facts, and make tough decisions is having the effect of forcing results which may not be in the best interests of UB. If you haven’t noticed, there is a resource problem. There isn’t enough money or enough students to go around. Somewhere, somebody is going to get his program cut and maybe his job. English Professor Howard Wolf points out that an "Ivory to Vinyl Tower” Capen Hall mentality is dictating overweighted ratios producing the “ethos of a trade school.” Wolf’s colleagues In Management argue that “Unencumbered by any obligation to make hard choices and tradeoffs, indeed blissfully unaware that such things exist in the real world, Professor Wolf proceeds to rail against our creeping Philistinism as orchestrated by denizens of the vinyl tower atop Capen Hall." The debate is one well-suited for an academic community. These are the questions we should be answering. Where is the University going? Why is it going in this direction? Are these short or long term goals? What is being sacrificed? Are we proceeding in the right direction in the best way possible? What are the effects of these decisions? These are the questions that University President Robert L. Ketter and his Administration have failed to adequately answer. In a way, Ketter has addressed these issues. He has NOT made the criticial decisions, thus shoving the University and Wolf’s bleeding Humanities into Fate’s grip. We know Engineering, Management, and Health Sciences are the areas to which students flock and in which jobs may be abundant. But the Administration hasn’t set minimum or maximum levels—for example; At what level should the English Department be maintained so that the University can still boast top quality programs for majors while serving to educate Management students required to take English? The open discussion and answering of these questions has not occurred. That is why faculty here react with strong defense of their programs—fearing that they may be sliced away altogether or over-burdened with blossoming enrollments but limited support. That is why we continuously hear of suffering departments or failing programs. That is why we react skeptically when we learn that UB’s Center for Creative and Performing Arts is going to be silenced. The University only has to pay the salary of one person to keep the program alive. The Center—under the wing of Arts & Letters—has been slashed, whittled, and bled from sixteen positions in 1964 to only two now. But even with only two full-time lines, the Center has proved to be a strong home for the Creative Associates—a well-known, respected group of composers and performers. Now, there is no longer money to pay the only full-time administrative position in the Center. Unless support is located soon, the Center—along with part of Buffalo’s culture and UB’s Music program—will die. If open discourse revealed that the Center should be shut down because other parts of the University were in more need of the funds then we would expect the debate between Prof. Wolf and his Management colleagues to continue—analyzing the logic of such a move. But it wasn’t decided rationally—it just happened. That is the serious problem crippling the University, collegiality between faculty, and respect for the Administration. Likewise, students’ freedom is being constrained by non-decisions that effectively force unacceptable results. The University Administration—along faculty and students—must sit down and make some tough decisions. The longer It procrastinates, the sooner non-decislona will be made for us.

Wharton: Dear Chancellor Wharton, I feel that Or. Robert Ketter’s nine years as President of the State University of New York at Buffalo have been a disaster. His leadership has been unimaginative, self-centered and incapable of dealing either with short or long range student and faculty problems. Some pertinent questions regarding Dr. Ketter's leadership are; 1. Why have so many distinguished faculty members left the University of Buffalo? 2. Why have such major areas as the English Department been in turmoil over the lack of resources? 3. Why is the Civil Engineering' Department disintegrating? 4. Why has the Statistics Department lost ALL of its most distinguished faculty members? 5. Why has the student distribution throughout the University become so lopsided, with Engineering and Management overcrowded and Liberal Arts and Social Sciences wanting for students? 6. Why is the Graduate Program in Physics in serious jeopardy with the real possibility that the PhD will be discontinued? 7. Why are the Mathematical Sciences in disarray? 8. Why is nepotism rampant in the administration of the University? Cronyism seems to be the name of the game. 9. Why has the ex-dean of the Colleges called for Ketter’s resignation? 10. Why is the Mechanical Engineering Department demoralized? 11. Why are so many faculty members anxious to leave the University of Buffalo? 12. Why have so many of the more distinguished administrators left during Ketter’s administration? 13. Why has Dr. Ketter been so unsuccessful in competing with other campuses, especially StonyBrook, in obtaining desperately needed resources? 14. Why is Chemical Engineering unstable? 15. Why has the Schqol of-Dentistry been in danger of losing accreditation? 16. Why has Psychology been allowed to deteriorate? 17. Why is the Sociology Department so fragile? 18. Why is the Amherst Campus a planning disaster? 19. Why the student attrition problem? 20. Why do student letters and editorials reflect such distrust of Dr. Ketter? 21. Why haven’t any major areas of excellence emerged at the University in the last ten years? 22. Why have the students voted for No Confidence’ in Dr. Ketter? 23. Why hasn’t something been done about Educational Studies? 24. Why has the Office of the Dean of Undergraduate Studies been a political football? 25. Why are there serious problems in most major areas at the University? Why, Why, Why? Why must the University of Buffalo suffer more than ten years of inert leadership? It is time to create a sense of confidence on campus by bringing in a new president. Howard Duluth < Kross Kultural Casualties by Robbie Cohen front of the house. I advanced stealthily through the hallway, quietly opening the dining room door, to surprise her. And lo and behold, I caught what is probably the strangest sight I have seen or ever will see in my life. Mother was meowing in measured spurts into the upturned phone receiver lying on the couch. I straighfened up in astonishment and let out an involuntary gasp. Mother swiveled her head around and leaped from the couch out of the house. I snatched up the phone and pressed it to my ear. An abbreviated meow, a click and then an ominous dialtone. I saw it all just as I have recounted, but who would believe me. And who wouldn’t believe me insane when I told them I saw Mother later that day grouped in a circle of seven other cats, Curled up in a sleepy ball of white fur and black Mother looked like any tame, innocuous house cat. She purred almost inaudibly as I ran my fingers over her mottled ears and cringed,pleasurably as I softly kneaded her ample underbelly. Oh yeah, she’s given us some problems especially at first when we took her in from the nippy winter streets and fattened her up from a mangy, undernourished alley cat into today’s insouciant healthy house broken creature. It was kind of funny the way she invited herself into our house, whining loudly for food, several times a day. Out of pity for this homely emaciated animal, we would trek over to Wilson Farms and bring her back the Tender Vittles which she consumed ravenously, pausing to glance over her shoulder, apparently out of street wariness for any competing feline intruders. But as Winter turned to Spring, she grew more relaxed, her sojourns became longer and eventually we grudgingly reconciled ourselves to her permanent status, no longer tossing her out in the gutter every evening. I puffed on my mangled Marlboro and blew a stream of smoke at her sensitive pink nose. Her ebony eyes rolled-up into her head, her long whiskers twitched spasmodically. I wonder what she thought of that maniacal streak that possessed me to torture her contented mien every so often. Obviously she was disturbed at these obnoxious acts of mine, evinced in the seemingly contemptuous glances she would throw at me after being particularly harassed. Silly of me to think that though, because cats after all are unsentient animals and couldn’t be in any way capable of manifesting subtle human emotions like contempt.

To the Editor: I believe that Professor Wolf (“Humanities and Fiscal Philistinism”) is confusing cause with effect. Sufely it is ngt cuts in non-technology faculty lines which is causing a greater proportion of students to enroll in technology courses, but vice-versa. I was an undergraduate during the.1960s and I have seen many student freedoms increased since that time. One of those freedoms is the freedom of choice in education. In receqt years students have been “voting with their feet” for the technology courses in increasing proportions. As Professor Wolf is aware, these are times of severely constrained resources for all institutions of higher education. Is it not the duty of the administration to attempt to allocate those resources so as to provide the greatest good to the greatest number? If the trend were to change and students were to flock from management to humanities, would it not then be the duty of the administration to increase the size of an understaffed humanities department, possibly at the expense of the management department? Professor Wolf sees a conspiracy between administration and technology faculty who are acting out of long-harbored resentment for the political events of the sixties. This is nearly 1980 and that is ridiculous. It is in fact students excercising those freedoms won in the sixties which is causing Professor Wolf’s discomfort. Professor Wolf may argue that students cannot be trusted to judge what types of education will yield the greatest good to themselves.and to society, and he may contend that it is the duty of the faculty and administration to impose their opinions on students via the allocation of resources. Within the SUNY system this is a moot point. The reality is that all SUNY institutions are in competition for state funds. The state government does not attempt to make judgements about the relative benefits of technological vs. non-technological education, preferring instead to use student preferences (enrollments) as an indicator of which institutions are providing the greatest good to (and are therefore entitled to the greatest support from) society. In short, funding for SUNY institutions is affected in a directly proportional way by enrollments. An administration which does not change its resource allocations to meet changing demands will soon find itself with no resources to allocate. That this method of funding has lead to “fiscal philistinism” and a marketing oriented view of education is perhaps unfortunate. Like the debate over technical vs. non-technical education, it is an academic question with no sure answer. Professor Wolf is welcome to his opinions. is free to make Students have the freedom to decide whether or four years droning equations, and this freedom should not be compromised. Forcing students into undersubscribed areas may preserve faculty lines, but produce balky, resentful classes whose members will go away with a lowered opinion of the subject. they will spend four years spouting poetry The question raised by Professor Wolf, whether higher education is best controlled by a democratic or totalitarian process, is a fundamental one. The SUNY system currently operates in a democratic way. That Is what'is. What should be is a matter for scholarly, wellreasoned debate, not paranoid name-calling. Larry Scott own Snobbery and intellectualism To the Editor: To the Editor: Most of Howard Wolf’s letter (TheSpectrum 9/28 and 10/3) can be ignored without loss, but I would like to comment on his third from last paragraph, which is quoted below. “What we lack... is a serious debate about the meaning of the arts and humanities, an open inquiry into the long range meaning of budgetary assaults upon the Liberal Arts. Can we let the dictates of today’s job market shape our judgements about the human resources we’ll need to go into the next century.” I don't think there is serious in this University regarding the essentiaf role of the Faculties of Arts and Letters, and Social Sciences. Furthermore I think it is taken for granted that they will always be essential. What we lack is an equally well distributed understanding of the importance of science and mathematics to today’s students, and the fact that this need will not diminish either. The day when the liberal arts vanish from the university will never come, but the day when the arts again completely dominate academe will not return. I was appalled by Professor Wolf’s ostentatious commentary: Humanities and Fiscal Philistinism. He proclaims, “We are now in the business of training Twin Fair Managers,...” How dare he belittle the men and women who manage the resources to serve society. "(M)ore Hooker chemists (to superintend more Love Canals) ...” Does the professor, by this cheap shot, hope to impugn the integrity of the technological professions? , “(A)nd Pot Hole Control experts.”, lest he not forget to ridicule our public servants. This elitist commentary does little to advance the professors cause to further liberal education. Indeed, it serves to epitomize the traits of snobbery and intellectualism which typify a great many academicians. I would like to address some of the questions posed by Professor Wolf. “Can we let the dictates of todays job market shape our about the human resources we’ll need to go mto the next century?” Rather than consider the relevant forces at work in the market place making up our society, the professor naively believes the legislatures and the universities have the capability to evaluate few decades. what society will need over The market place Is a dynamic reflection of societal need far personal resources and skills, and as such must remain cognizable to the university. . “What failure of value and historical vision leads administrators, here and everywhere, to support narrow professionalism, career training and corporate style in concert with legislature.” As an Accounting Major I earned 60 liberal arts credits, if I had spent the next 60 credits on more liberal arts rather than business could one say I would have received a broader based education. I think not. v "Is It more important to produce a humane book of Islamic influence on Western Civilization or a guide to laying petroleum pipelines?” That is a question that is best left for further contemplation.

Springer it specious about Islamic influence on Western culture; between scholars of Chinese history and managers of Twin Fairs. But his cries of a vendetta against the humanities and his views of a “vindictive” administration are off base.

Who ever heard of someone registering for a course which they were not interested in? To force an individual, on the college level, to study what they do not want to study when the course is not related to their major, suggests two things; (I) the tought police of 1984, and (2) General Education. Both equally detestable and an affront to freedom of thoughtthe cornerstone of higher learning. Prof. Wolf, did you wonder why this University is in the business of training Twin Fair Managers, et. al? Probably because students do not want to drive taxi cabs which is a common career available to graduates in Arts and Letters. About the only function which majors in these areas provide is employment for the Faculty in them. If we believe the University exists for the students, provides education in areas of their interests, and is democratic, it is very obvious why cuts should, and must, be made in Arts and Letters. Students “vote” in this democracy by registering for courses. In any election, there are - Humane attitudes To the Editor: winners and there are losers, and here at SUNY Buffalo, Applied Sciences and Management have won, Arts and Letters have lost. If the election was not being rigged by the introduction of General Education, entire departments which serve no use other than to self perpetuate, could have (and should have) gonS the way of the cross bow. It is not the men in the Vinyl Tower (no women, of course) who dislike Arts and Letters, it is me and about 18,000 other students enrolled here Why should the taxpayers heat and light a classroom that has but three students registered for it? If students want to learn a "trade”, why stop them? This is not a totalitarian situation: everyone has the freedom to pick hfs own major and field of specialization. Of course, once General Education is implemented, one will no longer enjoy the current freedom of choice as far as electives go. A serious question arises as to the fact of whether learning in areas in which students want to learn should be expanded, or if departments which are more like museums should receive faculty to teach almost no one. Prof. Wolf does make a valid suggestion in his piece; a debate on the meaning of the arts and humanities is needed here at Buffalo. Once held, it could be brought out to the community that an academic dlique (in A & L) is engaged in a thought police action to force students into courses which should have long been cancled for insufficient registration. If one wants Arts and Lettsrs, go to an Arts and Letters school. $ Sincerely, Bernard Brothman The well balanced article by Frank Viviano, Nation’s Highest Immigration level causing concern was very well written.

Yours truly, Bronislaus R. Trzyzewski Unsubstantiated To the Editor: Mr. David Davidson wrote a most offending and unrealistic account of Saturday’s Syracuse University-Washington State football game in the column “One More Point” of the Oct. 3 issue of The Spectrum. Let me mention that Syracuse did not “shack up for a day at Rich Stadium." If the stadium is as “spacious” (inferring beautiful, top notch, etc. as well as large) as you say it is, there is no way one can consider this “shacking up." Rich Stadium is one of the best football stadiums in the nation. Any team would be lucky to play in such a fine facility. Sarcasm will get you nowhere. The phrases “Go Orange” and “SU Football” are about as original and catch as “Go Bulls” and “UB Football.” So where do you get these unfounded opinions? And of course, the crowd would not be “typical college students.” Buffalo and Syracuse are 150 miles apart. There are not that many students who would travel that far to see their team (even ours), but there are people in Buffalo, young and old who enjoy Syracuse football, and they were there. The “Syracuse chap practicing field goals” who “bordered on awful” has 5 field goals in 4 games including a 43 yarder against Washington State. He was also 5 for 5 in extra points. The Carrier Dome is not a "white elephant” by any means. Its floorplan is virtually flawless for all sports. There will be movable sections of seats that will afford the best seating possible for any particular event. The Dome will be used bv the entire Central New York' athletic community, not to mention the rest of the state. Syracuse plays host to the Empire State Games, which is the, largest amateur athletic'competition in the country. The Dome will be used and its cost is minimal in comparison with the benefits that will be reaped. You, Mr. Davidson, also resorted to outright lies. You denounced the caliber of Syracuse football by saying they fumbled and threw interceptions. There were no interceptions in the entire contest by either side and Syracuse fumbled only twice, losing one.. That is as good as any team on any level could hope for.

Barron Spectrum Stuff Writer The Holocaust the annihilation of six million Jews by the Nazis during the Second World War is a subject often glossed over in American High school history courses. “When a civilized country like Germany a leader in contemporary science, technology* philosophy could go berserk and actually perpetrate such a cruel and horrible act, wouldn’t you think that this should be brought to the attention of America’s youth?” queried UB History professor Selig - - - Adler. During the network commentary that followed the rerun of NBC’s “Holocaust” last month, a commentator mentioned that less than one paragraph in the "average American high school text is devoted to this unprecedented catastrophe. According to Williamsville Coordinator of Social Studies, Walter Polka, the Holocaust is studied primarily in a tenth grade course, “European Cultures”, although it is referred to in two other courses. Two thousand years Most of what is taught at Williamsville South about the Holocaust is taken from sources other than the text. Yet not all the history teachers there spend classtime on the subject. “I don’t cover it,” declared Williamsvilje South European Cultures teacher Dorothy Coveney.' She claimed that she doesn’t have the time to teach about the Holocaust because she has to cover over 2000 years of history. Coordinator Polka mentioned that although teachers are allowed flexibility, the Holocaust nonetheless is one topic that should be covered. “If they (a European Cultures’ teacher) didn’t it depends. If they are tenured there’s not much you can do initially. It would, “warrant and investigation,” he added. The importance of students being educated about the Holocaust in public schools is evidenced by the emergence of conferences designed specifically for public school teachers. On May 15, the National Conference of Christians and Jews, as well as other Jewish organizations, rationalized that they didn’t have to teach it because there weren’t many Jews in their classes, but added that a growing public consciousness demands more to be said on the issue. Williamsvilie South teacher Leonard Glowinski stressed that it is important to teach not only about the Holocaust, but also about previous forms of anti-Semitism. He cited anti-Semetic writings of Luther, Russiam pogroms, and practices in Prussia. Prussia forced Jews to change their names to inanimate objects. “Most people.” Glowinski added, “don’t realize that Prussia was the first country to legalize antiSemitism.

Silbiger spends her spare time surveying the effects of the World War 11 Nazi persecution on the descendants off its Jewish victims. Despite countless studies previously done on the Holocaust, Silbiger maintains that her examination has captured a unique angle. “Everything I’ve read about the people from the Holocaust has been researched with the psychotic cases who needed help to adjust. I wanted to show the point of view of those who live normal lives,” she explained. One major reason for the importance of this study, according to Silbiger, is to clarify the misleading impressions conveyed through the NBC mini-series, Holocaust. “It (the show) was nonrealistic in some respects, but they couldn’t really show what the people actually went through and still keep it presentable for television. But it was something that had to be shown.” She feels the extermination was important, because it was such a horrible time for the people that had to go through it. “1 can’t believe people could actually be that horrible to others. I mean, my parents went through it, they told me about it and I’ve heard and read about it, and I still can’t believe it. I don’t think other people believe it either,” she stressed. Silbiger maintained that the major thrust of the study is to point out that people can resort to such ruthlessness and to prevent it from happening again.

Governor Hugh Carey signed into law the Truth in Testing bill, a major piece of legislation designed to protect the rights of testtakers and provide more information about admission tests to students. The law, which takes effect January 1, applies to most tests used by colleges, graduate and professional schools to determine who to admit to their institutions. These tests include the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT), the Graduate Record Examination (GRE), the Law School Admission Test (LSAT), the Medical College Admission Test (MCAT), the Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT), the Dental Admission Test (DAT) and the Miller Analogies Test (MAT). Specific subject-matter achievement tests, the GRE Advanced Tests and l.Q. tests are not covered by the law. The Truth in Testing law represents one of the most important legislative victories in years for students throughout the country. The rights secured by the new law are historic. Therefore it is important to have a clear understanding of the law and your rights under it. The Truth in Testing law will enable, for the first time, all students, whether or not they take a test in New York State, to receive copies of test questions and correct answers 30 days after the test results are released. New York test-takers will also be able to receive copies of their own graded answer sheets. All of this information is now kept secret by the testing corporations who administer the tests and who strongly opposed Truth in Testing. The law also requires testing corporations to supply test-takers with more detailed information about what the test is designed to measure, how their scores will be computed, and how test scores correlate with important background factors such as race, economic class and coaching for the exams. Test-takers must also be told what the testing companies’ contractual obligations to them are. The law further requires testers to file all studies on the exam, including reports on test validity, with the State Education Deparment. Truth in Testing will help you better understand your scores by telling you more about a test, it will lessen the inequities created by expensive test coaching schools, by giving all students equal access to information about the test and lest questions. As the NAACP stated in announcing its support of Truth in Testing, “many students cannot afford these Expensive coaching courses and are therefore denied equal access and opportunity.” The importance of this access has been underscored by a recent Federal Trade Commission (FTC) report which found that certain classes of students had their scores significantly increased by coaching. Truth in Testing will also help you detect scoring mistakes by disclosing your answers along with the correct answers. Withirtthe past year, scoring errors involving thousands of students have come to light in the law, business and medical school tests. In short, it opens up the testing industry—an industry with more "consumers per year than Ford and General Motors combined—to a reasonable degree of public scrutiny for the first time in its 80 year history. Unwilling to face this, the testing industry is trying to intimidate the state into backing off. The Association of American Medical Colleges, which sponsors the MCAT, and the American Dental Association, which sponsors the DAT, have announced that they will stop giving their tests in New York, forcing New York students to travel out of state for the exam, rather than comply with the law. However, the State Education Department has concluded that the law applies to tests given anywhere for admission to schools in New York State. The Princeton-based Educational Testing Service (ETS) and the College Board, who launched what columnist Jack Anderson described as an “intense, well financed lobbying campaign” against Truth in Testing, are also trying to subvert the law. They are pressuring Stale Senator Kenneth LaValle (R-C, Port Jefferson), the principal sponsor of Truth in T esting, to delay the implementation of the law. The testing industry couldn’t get away with these bullying tactics if there were a national bill providing the kind of oversight that will be available in New York. Representatives Ted Weiss and Shirley Chisholm of New York and George Miller of California have introduced just such a bill that would extend the provisions of the New York law to the entire country. The testers cannot be allowed to blackmail the entire slate. As the New York Times declared,”. . their (the testing industry’s) complaints are overstated. In face, the law is welcome; it’s time to take the mystery out of college testing In any case, there is the matter of elementary fairness. These academic tests help to shape the course of people’s lives—their schooling, their careers, the very sense of their own abilities. Students deserve to know how they are being rated and judged. - ... �Blood and yeast i w Heavyweight brewers fight for *natural label r $ jr * by John Wiedemann Spectrum Stuff Writer A rivalry between superbrewers Anheuser-Busch and Miller has revealed trade practices which have bubbled up through the hops to taint, some of America’s favorite beers. The two brewery corporations are viciously battling, charging each other with false and deceptive advertising; Phillip Morris Corporation—Miller’s parent company denounced Anheuser-Busch’s “natural” ad campaign. Anheuser-Busch, which produces Budtyeiser, Busch, Michelob, and Natural beers, has designed a “natural ad” campaign primarily for Bud. Its ads speak of “natural brewing, natural hops, naturally aged,” and just plain natural beer. It even named the beer “Natural.” This promotion has riled Miller, which in turn, hired three nutritionists to investigate — •- Milwaukee-based Miller claims its competitor’s beers are no more counterpart. natural than Pringles. Miller has hauled the Busch boys in front of the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) charging “false and deceptive” advertising. Miller is asking that the Commission bar Busch from using the term “natural” in its products. According to one Food and Drug Administration (FDA) spokesman, “The term natural Loan means absolutely nothing.” So why all the hoopla? To Busch, natural is equated with a pure and honest method of brewing, while to Miller, the term is misleading. The war of words has brought forward a proposal by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and \ Firearms—in conjunction the FDA—that would require all beer ingredients be listed on the label.' Busch supports this proposal, while Miller has kept its lips sealed. Busch’s endorsement stems from its belief that the average beer drinker would discover with Miller’s “chemically- produced” thirst quencher. According to Bu$ch, a comparison between beers reveals that Miller’s product contains additives. They claim the ingredients of its own beer compared to Miller might read: Budweiser (Anheuser-Busch): water, rice, hops, barley, malt and yeast. Miller High Life: water, corn, corn syrup, modified hop extract, barley malt, yeast, propylene glycol alginate, papain and potassium metabisulfite as an antioxident. Miller Lite: water, corn syrup, modified hop extract, barley malt, yeast, propulene glycol alginate, papain, amyloglucosidase and potassium metabisulfite as an antioxident. (and of course) natural” Light equals Lite Miller retorts that the Old World flavor can be found in its now domestically-produced Lowenbrau beer—formerly brewed in Germany. Miljer also charges that Busch’s hostility stems from The Federal Government considers it mandatory for all students with Federal Loans (HPL, NDSL, NL) who cease attending this University or who drop below one-half time status (six hours) to complete an exit interview and repayment agreement.

Efforts to dissect the illiteracy have targeted problem at television, family accusations with junior status, and a required upper-division writing structure, teachers, student apathy and, in general, 20th class. century culture and values. A majority of the in-depth studies call the American educational system and its teachers the central agents of functional illiteracy. Educators themselves have owned up to a portion of the blame. The UB report concluded that the University’s writers tested “are only freshmen, VI or 18 years of age. They are here to Cited as a critical need is a “ . additional resources, probably, in our view, a redirection of resources from all departments and programs, since all of them will benefit from a strong ; mmmm continue their education, and we have no reason to expect them to arrive as skilled writers.

Recently George Gallup, in a survey published in The Washington Post, showed about 1,000 17 and 18 years olds to be severly illiterate regarding social and cultural events regularly and prominently discussed. The results of this survey and an earlier one, the National Assessment of Educational Progress, showed only three percent of the group able to identify Hawaii and Alaska as the last two states to join the union. Additionally, 25 percent did not realize that New Jersey is on the East Coast and Oregon on the West Coast, Thirty-eight percent realized that citizens do not have to vote a straight party ticket in an election and 33 percent did"not know which party had a majority in Congress. Only 42 percent of the group had ever heard of the absentee ballot, and 50 percent did not know that the President doesn’t appoint Congress. Finally, 33 percent thought that newspapers and magazines either were not or should not be allowed to print articles critical of the government. �B-52’s invade Buffalo again The greatest, dance band in America, The B-52’s, will be making their second Buffalo appearance this Thursday evening in Squire Hall’s Fillmore Room.

Knee injuries are nothing new to the Bulls, who already have scratched Larry Rothman and Kent Keating—among others—due to knee afflictions. A more important explanation for the defeat was UB's inability to capitalize on several golden opportunities at the start of the contest. “We looked real good in the first quarter for a while,” reflected Bulls' defensive end John White. Unfortunately for the hosts, that "while” was not nearly long enough. Although the Bulls began their second and third series of the opening quarter inside the Canisius 25-yard line, they were unable to score on either occasion. ' Lost points "We didn't lake it early in the game,” said UB’s Joe Licata. “We were a little confused in the beginning." Following White's first quarter recovery of the •Griffins' tailback Tom Jerris' fumble on the Canisius 19-yard line, a steady ground attack led by UB running back Mark Maier—who was the leading Bulls' rusher with 61 yards—Vince Quarles and Tim Najuch moved the offense to a second down and goal at the five yard line. But a costly delay of game penalty drove them back to the ten. Runs by Najuch and Maier again pushed the Bulls to the two, but on fourth down Quarles’ sprint around right end was quickly stopped by the alert Griffin defenders. On the Bulls' next possession, originating from the visitors' 25-yard line, Rodriguez went to the air, but his receivers missed, and the drive stalled. ‘‘Yeah, the receivers dropped a couple of passes,” Rodriguez admitted. The most costly one may have been Frank Price’s dropped connection at. the eight-yard line, which stalled the drive and forced the locals to try, in vain, for a 39-yard field goal. UB finally got on the scoreboard after starting their fifth series from the Canisius 40-yard line. Utilizing a timely 18-yard-toss to tight end Kevin Pratt and steady up-the-middle running by Maier, the Bulls inched to the one-yard line, from where Najuch bulled his way into the end zone. An unscheduled two-point conversion pass from Tony Grisanti to Dan Angelo gave UB an 8-0 edge. —Garry NICE HOLE; Canisius tailback Tom Jerris 139) has stormed by UB’s John White (99) but is about to crash into UB linebacker Shane Curray (39). The Griffs found wider holes in Saturday's contest, and came away 21-18 victors. Preneta the second half of Quick comeback The vocal crowd had not yet settled back in its seats when Canisius began->-and ended—their next possession with Dan Dry 's 73-yard run for glory as the first quarter clock expired. "It was a quick pitch to the right side,” White commented of the long touchdown scamper. “It seamed like we weren’t pursuing it right, and the guy just took bff.” Another two-point pass conversion—this one planned all the way—knotted the score at eight. The Bulls’ defense had ignited the large Rotary crowd up to that point, consistently denying the Canisius runners and even preventing a first down until the Griffins’ scoring play. The unit continued to hold its ground until Najuch fumbled the ball away at UB’s 20-yard line approximately five minutes into the second period. Canisius lineback Jim Gollegly scopped up the rolling pigskin. Griff QB Karwath and company were unable to venture forward farther than three yards, but kicker Wayne Kantorski drilled a 35-yard field goal to give the visitors an 11-8 lead. It was not until UB's final possession of the half that the crowd had anything to cheer about. Imitating the Oakland Raiders’ Ken Stabler’s penchant for moving his team quickly with little time left, Rodriguez connected on three consecutive first down tosses to move Buffalo from its own 32-yard line to Canisius’ 24.

The decision to hire O’Donnell came in the last weeks of August, after Liz Cousins—the Royals’ previous coach—accepted a teaching position at the United States Naval Academy at West Point, leaving a vacancy in the physical education faculty roster. O’Donnell will confront the trials of her new coaching position a week from today when try-outs commence. “A good strong group of incoming freshmen will hopefully add to our already young team," O’Donnell explained. Although the team is young, UB has some exceptionally talented players returning from last season.

We lost our co-captain of last year, Beth Krantz, as she transferred to Ohio State,” lamented O’Donnell. “However, the season looks very promising.” Other experienced members of the Royals' 1978-79 squad expected to compete at the tryouts include Marie Clemens, a sophomore with a high rebounding average, six-foot Mary Hickey, sophomore Andrea Rosenhaft, senior guard Maureen Quinlivin and Lisa Keating—all of whom have already acquired the vital experience Buffalo will so desperately need. O Donnell will be working on improving last season’s unimpressive 4-16 record by employing offensive tactics that will allow more points off the boards. “We have a tough schedule ahead of us. Our opponents look very competitive,” she admitted. UB s strengths, last year seemed to be concentrated in their solid defens With Lilley returning—hopefully with her skills untouched—the Royals will again feature a superb steady defense. Buffalos shortcomings-last season were found primarily in the offensive end, but O’Donnell hopes that as a new season approaches, so do new players with new and varied skills. Iryouts for the Royals begin Monday, October 15 at Clark Hall. Anyone is welcome to tryout and hopefully there will be a lot of dedication, expounded O’Donnell. Tryouts are expected to last six days—from October 21 through 26. "By then we should begin to look like a real team,” concluded O’Donnell. The Royals will host two scrimmages. The first contest matches UB against Ldinboro College at Clark Hall on November 11, while the second game will be against D’Youville College November 27.

Spoil Homecoming Soccer Bulls upset unbeaten Houghton by Dan Hjlder Spectrum midfield disrupting any sustained Highlander drive, to UB’s own “Zip Strip” defense sealing off the visitor’s net, the Buffalo squad made a complete turnaround from earlier contests. Staff Writer HOUGHTON—It should have been a movie. “The undefeated Houghton soccer team (8-0-1), ranked sixth in New York State, meets the UB Bulls.” The script called for the numerically superior Highlanders to crush the injury-ridden Bulls before the large Homecoming crowd of about 2,000 alumni, parents and friends. Failing to read the script, the Bulls (now 4-4) handed Saturday’s opponent its first defeat, 2-1. The winning goal, booted in by Dave Gauss, came with one minute of play left in the second period of overtime. . Complete turnaround Maturity and flexibility have become the Bulls’ outstanding facet. The squad’s newfound ability to put out the extra effort has distinguished Buffalo as a far cry from the individualistic drive that was prevalent on the team earlier in the season. In Saturday’s Contest, the Bulls struck first against the highly rated Houghton team. UB’s Mike Marszalkowski, on a “The team never looked back. pass from Luis Azcue, laced the They really wanted it,” explained ball into the Houghton net.

Golf team swings first SUNY championship UB’s way The UB golf team achieved last Monday in Cooperstown, N.Y., what no other varsity squad at this University had accomplished before—winning a State University of New York Athletic Conference (SUNYAC) championship. The golfers made it two noteworthy accomplishments in a row on Thursday, when the Bulls placed Ray Perez and Randy Romal in the Eastern Collegiate Athletic Conference (ECAC) championships. UB captured the SUNYAC title by two strokes, battling Oswego to the finish before emerging on top, 385-387. UB’s Perez came within a one-hole playoff of winning the singles competition. Having finished with a 73, Perez was tied with Oswego’s Scott Porter after the regulation 18 holes, and a sudden death playoff became necessary to break the deadlock. Porter put in a birdie putt in the playoff to edge Perez and win the individual V crown. Close behind was UB’s Jim Bender, who totalled 74 strokes and took third place overall. Other high finishers for the champion UB team were Romal and Mike Lucas—tying with 79 apiece, and Mike Riso— to the weather: “In the rain it’s so slippery that it slows the game down a lot.” The Orange Women took advantage of better stick control and their good fortune to fight off the Royals’ pressure during the first half. Syrcuse owned a 2-0 lead at the half-way point, both goals scored by Eileen Donnallane—unassisted on The wind was bitter, the air cold, each occasion.

Buffalo earned its first SUNYAC title—after two years of membership in the SUNY conference—by outlasting six other State teams, so far, the highlight of UB golf coach James Ely’s first year. After Oswego's second place finish came Brockport (390 strokes), Cortland (396), Buffalo State (416), Plattsburgh (419), and Fredonia (442). Perez, a junion transfer from the University of Illinois, will join teammate Romal in Fayetteville, Pennsylvania, for the prestigious ECAC championships to be held October 14-15. They earned the privilege to compete in the Eastern colleges’ most important Fall golf event in Thursday's qualifying round. The Bulls fell a mere stroke short of qualifying the whole squad for the EC AC’s, winding up tied with Colgate at 316 strokes, one behind the 315 shot by second placers Cornell and Brockport State. Gannon College topped the field with an outstanding 302. Leaving behind the glamour of winning SUNYAC championships and EC AC title event qualifications, the UB golfers will visit St. Bonaventure today. The pep talk did not yield results until the 24-minute mark. UB’s Holly Helfrich took a Jeanne Quinlaven pass, and began a barrage of shots at Syracuse’s stunned net keeper, finally slamming the ball into the net. The Orange Women led 2-1 and only 11 minutes remained in the game, but UB was obviously encouraged at having broken the shutout spell. The Royals received the break they had been waiting for with five minutes remaining in the game. SU’s goalie sat on the ball, an illegal action for which UB was awarded a penalty stroke—to be taken by Buffalo’s Janine Jamieson. Tension rose in the air and the noise suddenly diminished. With rain drops dripping from her forehead, Janine hit the ball . wide of the goal. The home side should have been crushed . . at the missed opportunity, but the Royals regrouped. Exactly one minute later, UB rookie Marty Kratzke fed the ball to co-captain Vicky Jackson. Speeding off on a breakaway, Jackson surprised Syracuse’s goaltender out of position and swept the ball into the net. With only four minutes left to be played, Buffalo had deadlocked the score at two. Janine Jamieson became the Royals’ heroine one minute later when she caught the visitors’ goalie napping again and was able to put the winning tally across the goal line. “The victory tasted even sweeter because SU is a Division I team and we’re only a Division III team,” Dimmick enthused. “We taught Syracuse a lesson.” —Elizabeth Reinish t > �Names known m ~ directly. One person called me back to say he couldn't make it because of another presidential evaluation team,” he said. In total, four SUNY presidents will be evaluated this year. All will be reviewed under new guidelines approved in June. The guidelines replace the campus-based constituency committee that would have evaluated a school’s president team. Allthe under old procedures with the new presidents on the new panel must be from schools outside the SUNY system. I Officials throughout the SUNY sjptem and at UB have raised questions surrounding the Chancellor's handling oflhe teams’ selection. The guidelines state, “The Chairperson of the visiting team shall make a site visit to the determine a schedule including interviews and such meetings with campus personnel which will assure a careful assessment of leadership and condition of the campus.” , 1 ~ One official, who did noi wish 10 be identified, pointed out that the guidelines"may be violated if the team sets up a schedule with Kettcr before visiting the campus."

After 8 months of hard work and planning by volunteers, last year’s 30-hour dance not only created a great sense ofexcitement and unity on campus, but it proved to be a gratifying and an educational experience for all involved. Budgets cut But those present at Thursday’s meeting were informed by Thomson that there was no funding available to pay the salary of a replacement. Without a fulltime administrator, the Center cannot continue its operations. Funded by the University as well as outside sources such as the state and national grants and endowments, the Center is under the auspices of the increasingly drained Faculty of Arts and Letters (A&L). The Courier Express reported, the original budget “lines” or salaried positions have been cut from sixteen in 1964 to a current two. The budget for the two was slated to expire in April.

The statement, which will serve as a self-assessment of his leadership, is a public document for the first time. Original expectations called for it to be released early in September. However, Stem explained that Ketter must present it to Robert Millonzi, Chairman of the University Council, before it is released. Millonzi will receive it this Friday when the Council holds its second meeting of the year. Afterwards, copies will be make available. Block told The Spectrum that the evaluators will probably come to campus in November. Previous statements from the Chancellor’s office indicated that Wharton expected the evaluation-to be completed by Thanksgiving. According to Block, the Chancellor would like the review to be finished by Christmas semester break. However, many believe that the guidelines can be interpreted both ways—noting that the Chancellor is supposed to select a team which will arrange the site visit with Kctter before ever vifiting the campus. Thus, the site review’s schedule may occur aYter the team has been selected, but not publicly announced. Mayersohn noted that Ketter could also effect Wharton’s choices. "What concerns me is that if Ketter doesn’t want a certain person on the team, then he can make his schedule so difficult so as not to be able t<5 accomodate that person," he said. Earlier in the day, Mayersohn, along with other student government leaders, announced a campus referendum designed to gauge the support, or lack of support.

Funded by the Rockefeller Foundation in 1963, the project grew and reached its “peak of world attention” during Buffalo’s Festival of the Arts in 1966. This “avant-garde” event involved visiting dance and music groups, composers, scholars and critics. The Center’s well-known series of “Evenings for New Music” at the Albright-Knox have also added to its popularity. The demise of the Center, according to many Faculty members, would create a void in the city’s cultural offerings. “Our reputation is fully entrenched in the city,” said Williams. “The Center has been a vital force and aspect of Buffalo.” Said one faculty member, “The Center is a national and international "basis of reknown for the city. Buffalo is not that large a city that it can afford to lose such a cultural link. We need to keep everything we can.” Influential in 'attracting students to the Music Department’s graduate programs in both composition and performance, the Center dangles the lure of performing with the Creative Associates for many of its talented students. They find the chance to be on stage augmenting a highly professional outlet to aid their development. In light of' the Center’s relationship to Music students, Williams commented, “It remains to be seen whether or not the loss of the Center will mean a loss of student enrollment, but it is a genuine fear.” the Pondering Administration’s need to establish priorities in view of cutbacks, he acknowledged that it has an obvious problem of standing priorities but it appears its' support lies elsewhere —other than the Center. ‘‘Why this is so 1 can’t imagine in view of its significance and reputation,” he said. �* \ *1 ' 3 bedroom partly furnished, 3 min. from UB, 250+, 688-6166. p.m. for Friday editions.

But on Saturday a steady gentle drizzle fell on the heads of anti-nuclear activists assembling on the crown of a gentle hill in a hayfield in Ashford Township 3S miles south of Buffalo. Woodlands in the distance, with the trees changing to the colors of autumn formed a border around the rally site. The voices of demonstrators arriving early for workshops and the noises of the yellow school buses which carried the demonstrators from all across upstate New York were muffled in the heavy skies and rural air. Beyond the hills a few miles away in West Valley, 600,000 gallons of toxic liquid radioactive wastes from nuclear power plants are stored. Political snacks Despite the bad weather the activists came, throughout the morning and early afternoon assembling near a giant-sized mock-up of a garbage can labeled “West Valley Nuclear Garbage.” The variousconstituent groups of the September 29th Coalition, official sponsor of the rally, set up tables to dispense their various literatures and to sell fruit, cider and baked goods. The variety of political snacks was far larger than the edible ones however. Groups ranging from the venerable Sierra Club to the Revolutionary Communist Party (not a member of the coalition) presented their respective routines. Also visible in the political stew were the Western Buchanan THREAT: Expressed at the rally was the fear that human exposure to radioactive waste is a threat to human survival. Genetic damage may be passed on from generation to generation. New York Peace Center, NYPIRG, The New American Movement and various patches of the growing upstate New York anti-nuclear network. As is typical of coalition politics each group and each workshop leader offered a somewhat different analysis of—the nuclear question and sometimes different solutions. But the participants of all stripes agreed that the danger of nuclear wastes must be halted. Radioactive water The whole anti-nuke collection—the workshops, leaflctters, literature —Dennis R.

Rah!—P. 13 �Anti-nukes hope to permanently I close West Valley waste site } by Marc Sherman Environmental Editor The rally at the valley is “only the beginning of many rallies to come,” declared West Valley organizer Mina Hamilton. Over 1500 anti-nuke protesters gathered near the now-closed nuclear reprocessing site to voice public disapproval of the site’s potential re-opening as a “temporary” Federal repository for nuclear wastes. The Federal government is considering four other 0) “Away from Reactor” (AFR) sites for the storage of C S high-level nuclear wastes. The wastes include liquid 5 materials and spent fuel rods, emanating from commercial and military plants in the U.S. and other countries. Vehement protests at the other sites—Hanford, Washington; Barnwell, South Carolina; Morris, Illinois; and Carlsbad, New Mexico—have also taken place recently. These nationwide protests reflect several major issues—the future of the commercial and military nuclear industry, the precarious transportation of nuclear products through cities and rural roads, and legislative attempts by municipalities to ban future location and transportation of nuclear materials within their borders. —Tom Buchanan Brooklyn Congresswoman Elizabeth Holtzman who is considering running for the State Senate was a new face in the anti-nuke crowd. She called for Federal funds to pay for West Valley clean-up. NEW Crowd dampened Veteran anti-nuclear activist Marvin Resnikoff explained how wastes which had already leaked from the West Valley storage facility had made Cattaraugus Creek “the hottest stream in the country” and possibly contaminated the water supplies in cities as far away as Buffalo. “It gets into all our water supplies,” Resnikoff said. government. Ironically, the consideration of reopening West Valley as a storage site is directly connected to its failure as a commercial reprocessing plant. Most nuclear plants were built to store wastes on-site for only three to five years, expecting to continually ship the wastes to commercial reprocessing plants. These plants theoretically would recycle spent fuel for future nuclear generation. However the only commercial reprocessing plant ever to operate —Nuclear Fuel Services at West Valley—shut down in 1972 because of high costs and —Dennis R. Floss SYMBOLS: Various signs and parapKen alia were visible at West Valley as those in attendance sat out the bad weather in a hayfield to unite against nuclear wastes storage. health hazards. Thus, the Federal government has been forced to turn to government-operated “Away From Reactor” storage facilities, because the only commercial plant storage the in Congress—we will have no more nuclear dumping in New York.” The Federal Nuclear Regulatory Commission is currently writing regulations that would override such local laws, and a major court battle concerning ultimate legal authority appears imminent. Existing Commission regulations stipulate that if a truck carrying nuclear wastes cannot avoid a city route, a police escort should accompany the truck. But antinukes see little chance of two armed guards preventing routine traffic accidents, possibly resulting in radioactive fire or leakage into the environment. Another concern is the chance of terrorists seizing a shipment to obtain material for nuclear bombs. Local laws New York City and other municipalities have laws banning the local transport of nuclear wastes. The Buffalo Common Council is considering such a law, which Councilman David Collins supports. He implored the rally attendees to “send a message to Present danger Environmental groups such as the Sierra Club are aghast at the possible reopening of the West Valley site, which they say is already a major health hazard. The site holds 600,000 gallons of high-level waste that remain radioactive for 250,000 years, but is stored in carbon steel tanks designed to last only 40 years. There currently is no proven technology to safely break down the wastes and shorten their radioactive lifespan. Sierra Club scientist Marvin Resnikoff said, “The burial ground is not safe. Even the NRC (Nuclear Regulatory Commission) said it could crack under an earthquake.’’ Resnikoff, a UB professor, also pointed out the dangerous leakage of high-level waste into Cattaraugus Creek, which flows into Lake Erie—the source of Buffalo’s drinking water. Human exposure to radioactive waste is “the latest threat to the survival of the human race,” declared rally speaker Sister Rosalie Bertcll—from the Rosewall Park Memorial Institute. If just one generation is genetically damaged, the mutated cells eventually pass on to the rest of the population, she said. country—NFS—closed. The reopening of West Valley and more AFR sites is contingent on Congressional legislation, which does not appear forthcoming this year according to DeBoer. He sees “little chance” that West Valley will be opened in the near future, and was uncertain about the long term prospects for reopening. Anti-nukes hope that preventing the centralized storage of nuclear waste will help mark the end of the nuclear industry. Currently there is a construction moratorium on new nuclear plants, but the 70 operating facilities each generate about 30 tons of highlevel waste a year, amounting to 60 truck shipments per plant. The Federal government estimates that seven daily shipments of nuclear waste would go to West Valley if it becomes a Federal repository. r— Brooklyn congresswoman Nationally known activist Sister Rosalie Bertell described the effects of radiation on human health in the starkest of terms: cancer, leukemia, other tumors and genetic defects. Cattaraugus County Legislator Brian O’Connell (D.-Clean) and Buffalo Councilman David Collina (D.-Masten District) talked about their legislative efforts to oppose the storage of transportation of nuclear wastes. Carol Mengerson of the Coalition On West Valley Nuclear Wastes told the crowd how far the movement she had helped start had progressed. “Five years ago,” she said, “there were three of us sitting around a kitchen table trying to figure out what plutonium is. The truth is, “we’ve been shit on.” But among no-nukes activists—and that’s mainly who was there—all of the arguments against nuclear power are old hat. What was new for this crowd was the presence of a prominent political figure willing to pin her future on a strong stance against nuclear waste dumping in New York State and nuclear power in general. Brooklyn Congresswoman Elizabeth Holtzman —who is an undeclared candidate for Jacob Javits’ Senate seat —called upon the Federal government to pick up the tab for clean-up operations at West Valley without the condition that the State offer the West Valley site for further waste storage. The aftermath Mina Flamilton, Sierra Club organizer, noted the importance of Holtzman’s appearance, saying that “not many politicians around have the courage to get close to no-nukes freaks like us.” The significance of Holtzman’s presence was not lost on the flock of reporters which clustered around her after her address. One asked her about her “testing the waters” for a Senate run. “The waters have been very warm,” $Jie replied. Disappointment over the turnout —estimated at more than 1500—was fairly widespread, though a number of factors, most prominently the bad weather, seemed to explain that. Overall, however, the organizers saw the rally as an important success. Rally coordinator Larry Farber pointed to the organizational strength generated by the very process of putting the . rally together. “These contacts and friendships,” Farber explained in the aftermath, ‘will be instrumental in mounting effective opposition to plans for West Valley as a Temporary’ nuclear waste storage site, or an attempt to establish the proposed dump in the Finger Lakes region, in addition to the overall anti-nuclear demonstrations movement of support which is building for even greater 26, 1980.” for April —— Buy A Big Mac and Get a Free Flair Pen PIZZA PROOF LARGE Cheese & Pepperoni of far good at Z5Q jp . speakers. negotiations between the State and Federal Ted DeBoer of the State Energy Office denied that allegation. “The agreement in principle was just part of the preliminary Federal-State discussion,” he told The Spectrum. He said a Federal cleanup of West Valley is not contingent on the site serving as a temporary Federal repository, explaining that both issues can be considered separately. Yet DeBoer acknowledged that Congress is “hesitant to bail out a State without something in return.” . tables, food vendors, tee-shirt sellers, impromptu musicians, banners and signs along with the inevitable frisbee devotees—gave the morning’s events the flavor of a political flea market. News-hounds with their various apparatus also straggled in. Scribblers representing such diverse publications as The New York Times and the Rochester Institute of Technology Reporter were there. Legions of radio reporters stalked the event with microphones and cassette recorders. A pair of young men from Ithaca’s community access television channel observed the happenings through the lens of their video earners. Suddenly, and almost dramatically, out of the thick sky came Channel 7’s newest toy —Skybird 7. Channel 4 followed later with its own helicopter, continuing the local competition in news-gathering gadgetry and gimmickry. The scattered activities of the morning drew to a tighter focus when the electric generator (gasoline powered) was fired up and the loudspeakers switched on. And, while many recent anti-nuclear rallies have been dominated by pop musicians the West Valley slate was tilted towards The main allegation by anti-nukes and Brooklyn Congresswoman Elizabeth Holtzman is that Governor Hugh L. Carey and the Federal Department of Energy (DOE) engaged have “nuclear in blackmail”—meaning the DOE would eventually pay the estimated $1 billion to clean up the West Valley site only if the State agrees to allow “interim” storage there in the meantime. The “agreement in principle” announced last Spring by State Energy Commissioner James LaRocca was interpreted by many to be evident secret . —continued from page 1- ‘Nuclear blackmail’ of FACE; H UNIVERSITY PLAZA - MAIN STREET and OUR NEW LOCATION 3232 BAILEY AVENUE * student calendar worth $7.50 in free food.)

W.';> , "-’1 P/ZZAMfMM 3106 Main St. 836-2996 �Housing crunch hits SUNY system hard by Joseph Zingale Spectrum Staff Writer UB’s Attrition/Retention group—a committee designed to explore why so many students were leaving this University—noted dorm tripling as one cause of the exodus. The group, which recommended 101 ways to improve the quality of life here, reported to University President Robert L. Kcttcr during the summer and the committee chairman. Vice President for Student Affairs Richard Siggeikow, is currently working to implement some of these recommendations. “We are in a state of constant change,” explained Director of Housing Madison Boyce. He noted that as students move off campus, drop out or take advantage of an option in the Housing contract allowing them to leave, new spaces become available; hence triples are broken down and the waiting list decreases. During the summer, the University relocated some academic departments, thus creating more available bed space. Both the Political Science and Black Studies offices were moved from the Ellicott Complex to Baldy Hall on the Academic Spine, costing the University close to $7000 and providing Housing with 94 more available beds. The housing shortage has hit many schools throughout the SUNY system, and UB has not escaped the blow. Approximately 120 students here remain on a waiting list for a room in the dorms. Under a new Housing policy, students living within a 30-mile radious of campus arc given the lowest priority for dorm rooms. According to UB officials, this policy protects those students who live outside the area—those assumed to have the greatest need for dorm rooms—from arriving in Buffalo with no place to stay. UB officials explained that students who lived within a 30-mile radius of the University were not considered to have so pressing a need. In addition, 170 students were placed in “tripled” rooms at the beginning of the semester. “Tripling” refers to squeezing three residents into a room designed for two or packing four into a threeperson room. Although all of the students here have been de-tripled according to Housing official Rick Schoellkopf, local students still remain on the waiting list. Originally, Schoellkopf explained, the waiting list carried 270 names. However, he said, “It should be noted that this list contains the names of individuals who simply requested housing information and who may not have intended to live on campus.” Constant changes After the de-tripling was completed, Housing officials began contacting students on the waiting list. Of the 150 students contacted, 36 have taken dorm rooms, 22 said they were interested but never showed, and the remainder have either found alternative housing or bought a car. A few have even given up on UB and gone to another school. Lucian C.Parlato Attorney at Law • 631-8884 36 Hopkins Road Williamsvilie, N.Y. • Arthur Eve speaks to UB blacks Wednesday. The Assemblyman, who unsuccessfully ran for Mayor of Buffalo two years ago against James Griffin, charged that the Blacks of this country have not made adequate use of their political system—a system, he declared, which must be changed as the minority community climbs the nation’s social ladder. Eve described instances where Black representatives in government have refused to support bills which he believed would have been of benefit to the black community. Eve has been a member of the State Legislature since 1967. During this time, he supported legislation which led to the development of the Educational Opportunity Program and the Higher Educational Opportunity Program. Minority voters Black voters, as well as legislators. Eve said, should unite in electing representatives to serve in their interest. He attributed this concern to the fact that many non-blacks are often elected in primarily black voting districts, like Harlem in New York City. Addressing the need for black Americans to register to vote, Eve noted that many minority members who try for office come just short of victory, a margin which he believes could be vanquished if more minorities went to the polls. Turning to this University’s politics, Eve stressed the importance of filling the recently vacated office of the UB Assistant Vice President for Affirmative Action with a minority candidate. The ex-Assistant Vice President, Jesse Nash —a black—resigned this summer. It was revealed at that time by The Spectrum that the percentage of minority employees at UB has been shrinking over the past few years. Eve suggested that the new officer should report directly to UB President Robert L. Ketter —to ensure that the thrust of an affective Affirmative Action plan does not get buried in the University bureaucracy. —Bill Koliarkin University springs back to old five course oad without hitch “We haven’t received a lot of complaints from by Mark Mellzer anybody.” Campus Editor The chaos that was expected to mark this University’s shift back to the five course load has not materialized—and so far, nobody’s complaining. Administrators, particularly Dean of Undergraduate Education (DUE) John J. Peradotto and his Associate Walter Kunz, gloomily predicted last January that a Fall 1979 implementation of the Springer Report would reck havoc on campus. The Springer Plan recommended a return to the one credit for one hour in the classroom system, that was abandoned ten years ago. While both Peradotto and Kunz supported the of Springer—a broader more balanced education for each student—they warned that implementing the plan this semester could cause concept Analysis tremendously overcrowded classes, busing snarls and general confusion for undergraduates. Students were so opposed to Fall implementation that the Student Association almost sued the University to prevent it. From a student perspective. Springer meant a heavier workload, trouble getting classes and jammed buses. Little confusion But despite earlier forecasts, the walls of the University have not come tumbling down. Kunz told The Spectrum his January 1979 worries now seem “100 percent overcautious.” Said Kunz, “I don’t see any problems out of the ordinary that seem to result from the implementation of Springer.” Apparently, Springer has not caused busing woes predicted when the increased course load was expected to hike the need for intercampus travel. The University busing office reports that, although there is some crowding at peak hours, the loads this year are “about what we carried last year.” According to Sandy Herko, a spokesperson for Busing Director Roger McGill, • House Closings. Plea Bargaining. Immigration Problems Motel room? But the problem of dormitory shortages is not unique to UB. SUNY Binghamton has witnessed students rent rooms since 1975 from a Colonial Motor Inn located directly across from campus. Housing officials there claim the cost of a room, which is arranged privately between students and the motel, is less than the campus dorm fees. Binghamton Associate Director of Residential Life Hal Szenes told The Spectrum that a staggering total of 900 students had to be tripled this Fall. “We’re losing students to other schools,” he said. Almost all of the students tripled at Binghamton were freshmen, and Szenes revealed that not all of them will be de-tripled by the end of the first semester. State University College at Oswego officials are also grappling with close to 1000 tripled dorm students. Oswego Associate Dean of Student Residential Life James Wassenaar explained that the school has converted the basement of a dining hall into a living facility—creating 70 additional beds.

Eve—State Assemblyman from Buffalo—in an address to the Black Student Union (BSU) last must SKY-DIVING INSTRUCTION Student confusion generated by Springer also seems low, Kunz said. Thanks to the Grandfather Clause, a carefully planned document allowing students enrolled last Spring or before to sidestep the new major requirements wrought by Springer, the students objections to the plan subsided. DUE Academic Advisors have reportedly been handing out copies of the Grandfather Clause to students all semester. Peradotto had initially suggested delaying Springer implementation because departmental reports were unclear on Springer’s effect. “They were too skimpy,” he said last year. "They didn’t indicate how major requirements would be changed.” The Grandfather Clause, however, helped cure that weakness. time Kunz’ major concern last year was overcrowded classes, primarily because he thought that electivehungry seniors would swarm into 100-level freshman courses, blocking the way for underclassmen. But registration data reveals that the feared oversubscription of introductory courses has not occurred. Although the basic writing classes were closed quickly this Fall, Kunz attributed it not to Springer, but to stepped-up efforts to encourage students to acquire writing skills. Additionally, those introductory courses have traditionally been burdened by ovcrcall. But Springer was not predicted to be all bad. Some recognized financial benefits in the return to the one credit per classroom hour system. When Albany relied on the almost exclusively Full Time Equivalent method to count students, UB—with an average of 16 credit hours per student—was in a better position than most other schools which averaged only 15 hours per student. But as the State began to rely increasingly on a new counting formula, the equated student, UB was at a disadvantage. Springer puts UB on a par with other State school. The dearest indication that the worries of Springer are past, is the status of the committee that was set up to smooth any implementation problems. Kunz said it would probably meet just one more time. One more t C A 836-3737 ***" AT WYOMING COUNTY PARACHUTE CENTER J% lli! n 1527HERTELAVENUE Open 6 days a week. BUFFAL l, 836-3917 •>.

JO - 12 Noon _ �by Stephen Bogorad Spectrum Staff Writer Executives at Courier and International Cable companies are awaiting a formal request from University Housing officials that could bring cable television into the dormitories. Until now, the idea of bringing Cable TV into the dorms on a large scale basis has never been considered. “We did conduct a brief feasibility study a couple of years ago when two students requested cable service, but obviously the cost of installation was too high,” commented Tom Hunt, Director of Marketing for International Cable. Officials at both cable companies appear to be genuinely interested in the possibility of bringing Cable service into UB dormitories. “We certainly are prepared to do an engineering study if we get a formal request from the proper authority (Housing) at the University,” said Hunt. According to an engineer for Courier Cable Clarence Ross, his company is willing to conduct a similar study, assuming that a request is made. Since both companies are willing to assume full financial responsibility for their investigations, an official request by University Housing appears to be imminent. “I can’t think of a reason why we wouldn’t request such a study,” remarked Director of University Housing Madison Boyce. The University is forced to deal with two separate companies because Courier Cable serves the city of Buffalo, whereas International Cable serves the Four of A non-UB student allegedly swept through the EUicott Complex last week on a one-man crime wave covering four of the structure’s six quadrangles. Kevin Johnson, a twenty-year old Buffalonian, reportedly entered five rooms through unlocked doors, with bags full of student property. Two Wilkeson Quad residents were victims of the burglaries when they left their rooms unattended for only minutes. “1 just walked into the bathroom with a girl across the hall,” said one victim. “He (Johnson) was in the hall and probably saw us go in,” she said. Both of the girls’ rooms were robbed of valuable possessions—among them a diamong ring.

The need for tests was emphasized by both Director of Environmental Health and Safety Robert Hunt and Director of University Health Services M. Luther Musselman. Floccare believes the tests are worthwhile. “They just want to make sure that the people are competent,” he said. The emergence of this University’s student emergency rescue squad has not been rapid. Floccare said, “I’ve worked on this for the past 17 months. You wouldn’t believe the red tape.” Next spring, the University will offer courses in Advanced First Aid and Emergency Medical Technician training. Floccare hopes that the people taking these courses will eventually join the teams. .. Cable in the dormsonly a request away s X /—-» r—i S/ > —John Devaney of Amherst. Both companies will have to bring cable service onto campus through underground lines. UB Vice President for Facilities Planning John A. Neal described the project as “physically feasible at Main Street, and possible at Amherst, but a little more difficult.” According to Ross, Courier Cable would have to be brought onto Main Street from an adjoining street, such as Callodinc. Installation on the Amherst Campus will present a bigger problem. “It would be a massive undertaking because of the construction of the buildings; bringing cable to individual rooms in Ellicott may be infeasible,” admitted Hunt. International Cable would have to bring its lines in underground from an adjoining area that already has cable. According to Hunt, two possibilities exist: the cable can be connected to the Charter Oaks Apartment Complex on Skinnersville Road or to Amherst Manor on Millersport Highway. Once the two engineering studies are completed, the companies will have to decide if their plans are financially achievable. Since both the University and Sub Board 1, the student service corporation, have expressed an interest in funding the project, high installation costs would not necessarily kill it. "UUAB would probably consider funding the project,” said Executive Director of Sub Board Dennis Black. town i service At present, there are approximately 35 squad members—most of whom are students. “We would like more people to get interested; any faculty members or students are welcome,” exclaimed m 4 ’ . Floccare. Student squads are not rare. Many schools have them, including the University of Rochester, along with SUNY Albany, Binghamton, Stony Brook, Geneseo and Buffalo State. Floccare, who once attended the University of Rochester, recalled, “When I came here I couldn’t believe a school this size didn’t have student , Students improve medical emergency This University will soon be serviced by trained student/faculty emergency squad teams. The Emergency Medical Technician (EMT) squad’s founder, Student Association Vice President Doug Floccare said, “The teams will do everything an ambulance can do.” Under the present system, if someone on .campus requires emergency medical treatment, the University Police are notified. The police dispatch two cars; one goes to the scene and the other car picks up a nurse or doctor at University Health Service. Said Floccare, “The response time is too slow.” The EMT squads will be a shot in the arm for Emergency services on campus. The squad will be equipped with little radios, called pagers. When the University Police receive an emergency call, they will dial the squad’s number and students with pagers will pick up the instructions. The EMT team will then go to the scene and administer first aid. “There have been problems in the past on the Amherst Campus because things are so spread out,” Floccare said. “So, Governors and Ellicott will have their own teams and so will the Spine. In addition, we will cover all large campus activities, like concerts.” The squad members must be either State qualified EMT’s or be masters of Advanced First Aid. '// six quads hit by thief Ellicott’s Spaulding, Red Jacket, Wilkeson and Porter he allegedly accumulated $900 worth of stolen property including $164 in cash. He is being charged on two counts of burglary and two counts of grand larceny, petty larceny, possession of stolen property and a misdemeanor for possession of one ounce of pot. Charges reduced? Both the diamond ring and a tape recorder have been returned to their owners. The cash —which the Department of Public Safety is now holding—will be returned after Johnson has appeared in court and after a verdict has been reached,, according to the, director of the department Lee Griffin, tlie’ stolen money will be used as evidence in t- Johnson’s trial. Officers investigating the theft received reports of thefts and a partial description of the man from the victims.. At 4:30 p.m.—only two hours after the spree began—the alleged thief was found loitering in Fargo, stopped for questioning and subsequently arrested. It was a matter of days since Johnson—who went to court Thursday—was released from the Buffalo jail after serving 90 days there on several counts of burglary. He will be confined to the Erie County Holding Center until bail is posted. “The District Attorney will probably reduce the charges to misdemeanor or at least one count of burglary,” ventured Griffin.

Strong union Yet, mass production of an electric vehicle by any manufacturer may draw opposition from the United Auto Workers Union. The union is wary of the role that its workers will play in the production of the new vehicles. Observers are afraid that besides an unemployment crisis, there could evolve a dangerous unionmanagement confrontation. UAW Western New York Regional Office Charles spokesman Price maintained that “we never buck technology. Our main concern is that we negotiate that our people do the work.” He pointed out that in terms of long range planning, this means keeping members abreast of new developments and promoting apprenticeship training to maintain a strong union bargaining power. Western New York Auto Club The Graduate Student Association (GSA) Senate voted last Wednesday 35 to 2 to approve the proposed budget allocations—with a few variations—for its recognized departmental, special interest and foreign student clubs. The budget, approved as a lump sum last May, distributes $24,591 to a total of 67 departmental organizations. The money is used to pay for guest speakers and special activities related to a department or interest. The GSA Finance Committee determines a baseline figure for club funding and then tacks on a set amount per member. Departmental clubs, for example, work on a $100 base figure and an additional $3.14 per person. All clubs relying on funding from GSA have to be recognized by that governing body. Departmental clubs are automatically recognized, while special interest and foreign student organizations must be newly acknowledged each year. GSA President Joyce Finn explained that at the time of allocating, any group budgeted has received recognition. She added that GSA recognizes clubs throughout the year, but any recognized between now and mid-term must operate without GSA financial support. “They will not have a budget until mid-year when we re-evaluate our financial state,” Finn said. Depressed clubs A motion put forth by the Psychology Club to increase its proposed budget by $200 was defeated. Representatives complained of a lack of funds to attract interesting speakers. They also cited a diversity of interests within the group which, they said, makes fair distribution of the $568 allocation difficult Club representatives complained oflow morale—due to the department being based out in Ridge Lea. Additional funds, they maintained, would allow for more interesting, appealing speakers and presentations. Finn called the proposal by the Psychology Club “an annual plea.” She added that it is always rejected. “The fact that they say the members are depressed is not justification for a funding increase. Any club could rely on that,” she maintained. In other discussion, Finn told the senate that College Council student representative Michael Pierce would be at the October GSA meeting to present his proposal for a University-wide referendum to evaluate President Robert L. Ketter. Pierce has maintained that the vote will allow all students—graduate and undergraduate—faculty and staff members an opportunity to register their opinions. He has indicated that he will vote on the Council in accordance with the popular sentiment. Finn reminded the senate, however, that the results of the referendum would probably be taken into consideration only as “advise” by the evaluation team of university presidents from outside the SUNY system. New presidential review guidelines stipulate that “nonattributible information” is not to be considered. The new guidelines also prohibit the use of any surveys or opinion polls in the review. Finn stressed, “It is important that students take this seriously. We must formulate a solid opinion and report on him (Ketter) and what this University is, under his direction and leadership.” Passed unanimously at the Wednesday session was a proposal for graduate student input in the University’s project to reorganize the Office of Research. A search for a director is currently being organized and the importance of graduate student representation in the selection process was stressed. Said Finn, “A number of people involved with research at this University are graduate students. We should be represented.” �I Buffalonian’s motto: Let the sun shine;’ solar power switch under overcast skies by Jon-Michael Glionna Feature Editor Neville Jacobs is now doing something in Buffalo which Californians have been doing for years. Jacobs is in the process of renovating his home to make it one of the first in the area to use solar energy for heat and hot water. An environmental engineer, Jacobs is one of the first Buffalonians to actually turn to the sun, wind or wood in an effort to beat the hassles and high prices of conventional fuel. Homes like Jacobs’ which will optimally rely solely on the sun for energy arc still virtually unheard of in Buffalo. However, operator of The Energy Emporium Jack Fisher estimates that almost 100 homes in the Buffalo area have installed solar powered domestic water heaters. Fisher contends that in the long run, with the skyrocketing cost of fuel prices—which have already doubled last year’s figures—solar energy may be the only consumer alternative—even in Buffalo. Yet, most solar energy experts have ruled out the possibility of alternative energy sources in cities like Buffalo where heavy winter cloud coverage consistently obstructs sunlight. Even do-it-yourselfer Jacobs admitted the weather has imposed some limitations. “Initially, I’ll need a conventional back-up heating system to heat the house yet I still believe that solar energy is a practical investment in Buffalo,” he said, pointing out that the design of the solar energizer has to be aimed at accommodating the rather tempermental Buffalo weather. Jacobs estimated the payback —the time required for fuel savings to add up to and pass the initial cost —to be between five and fifteen years on most domestic water heaters currently utilized in the area. “The average consumer isn’t going to go out and buy something with a fifteen-year payback now,” admitted Jacobs. “But in a few years he will. We’re eventually going to run out of fuel. Not tomorrow, not in 1980, but in 20 or 30 years.” But Jacobs warned that to be of use in Buffalo, the system must have a hyper-efficient thermal storage area ip order to supply a home with heat during the cold months of little sunlight. “You have to make hay while the sun shines,” he quipped. Among other, more traditional renovations, Jacobs is installing his own solar space heater to supply heat for his home, choosing an air based mechanism. The system will use collectors to capture sunlight and heat air-filled pipes that run under the collector’s surface. The heated air will then be carried to a bed of rocks under the ground floor for storage. When the heat is needed, it will be blown through chutes to the rest of the house in much the same way that a gas furnace operates. Jacobs also plans to use the system as a domestic hot water heater, rendering National Fuel Gas Services obsolete. Matter of luck Despite a sunny outlook, even solar advocates admit that the alternative energy source has yet to reach maximum efficiency. “The most economical systems are only 50 percent efficient,” conceded Fisher, citing that his own solar energizer has achieved 35 percent efficiency. Ecologists maintain, however, that the presently used conventional oil systems operate at only an 8 percent efficiency rate. But help may soon be on the way for those hot about solar energy. After dedicating the solar water-heating system 9 c installed in the White House last year. President Carter called 3 for legislation making solar energy in cities like Buffalo more of a bargain in upcoming years. The so-called “solar energy bill,” proposed by members of the Solar Lobby in Washington, allows for the creation of a “solar bank.” The bank would lend money to those interested in constructing solar units at an interest rate of 3 percent—less than half the interest rates currently charged by most banks. "Add that to the 15 percent tax deduction that the government currently allows and the idea starts to sound better all the time,” asserted Fisher. White elephant As an added consumer incentive, Fisher also pointed out that the addition of solar energy appartus would increase the value of any home. “But the most rewarding aspect is the psychological satisfaction that one can get by not having to depend on any large corporation for their heating needs,” said Fisher. However, Hofstra Marine Biologist Gene Kaplan feels differently. He traded his 1971 Dodge Van for a water based solar energizer several years ago. Since then, he said, he found leakage in the heat conducting pipes. Kaplan complained that his “white elephant” is costing him more in repairs than he would be paying for conventional heating oil. “The system just isn’t practical,” commented Kaplan. Of course, solar energy is just one piece of the energy puzzle. Considering that Buffalo is second only to Chicago as a windy city, wind power offers another viable alternative to “playing ball” with the corporate energy giants, said Jacobs. He plans to build a windmill fueled by the brisk winds sweeping from Lake Erie. But like solar power, Jacobs admits that it takes both determination and money to use the wind as energy. “And like solar power,” he added, “it pays off in the long run.” City and UB awash in TV suds by Lauren Spiegel Spectrum Staff Writer How does the life of John and the pregnancy of Ruth or the fatal illness of Bob affect University students? If one was to follow their lives continuously, Monday through Friday, chances are he or she would be engrossed almost into a stupor or repelled by the ridiculousness of it all. Such mixed emotions on the subject of soap operas has prompted profound investigation by Or. Mary Cassata of the UB Communications Department. Her conclusion was to create one of her own. The soap opera research began back in 1978 following separate studies by Randy Sherman and Jenette Dozoretz, both former students of Dr. Cassata. Sherman was particularly intrigued by the misrepresentation of America’s youth. After observing that soap operas were written by and for the upper middle to elite classes, the two and Dr. Cassata resolved to create their own serial with a major emphasis on today’s college age Mary, the death of Carol, Named “Warren University” after Harry Warren, the lyricist of “Shuffle Off to Buffalo,” the serial will be set in Buffalo and focus on University life. The primary conflict stems from the creation of a Sexuality Education Center on campus by students. Four central families in the soap opera will represent various social, economic and racial classes living in Western New York. They will be portrayed as “nonstercotypic,” claimed Sherman, who pointed out that most soap operas depict black families as white middle class families. Why bother creating a soap opera? “It’s camp!” Dr. Cassata replied. “It’s also an emotional release for many people. Some identify with the problems and characters. They become friends to others. Also, the issues dealt with are persuasive.” “Sometimes it's a just plain curiosity which keeps people watching,” Cassata stated. Although the critics once associated soaps Come Sing & with “Stupid women,” the actual statistics show that a major portion of viewers are teenagers, persons of varied socioeconomic statuses, high school graduates as well as college students. From an economic standpoint, “the cost to produce five one-half hour daytime episodes is equivalent to the production of only one half of that in primetime,” remarked Sherman. “Daytime television also earns 70-90 percent of a network’s total profits,” added Dr. Cassata. “Without soap operas,” Dozoretz commented, “viewers would go crazy. It would leave such a void!” With the expertise of writers, producers, actors and technicians from various established serials helping them. Dr. Cassata and her creative cohorts are rapidly striving stand firm on retaining full rights and control of their soap and are now awaiting sponsors to approach them.

Independently on the move through campus and community 5, Under the banner, “Access Is THE Law,” a group of handicapped students voiced together four years ago to form The Independents. In this short time span, many strides have been taken to improve the status of the handicapped community on and around the campus. The initial purpose of The Independents was to establish greater mobility for its members by making all portions of the campus (all three campuses) more accessible. While striving for these goals, the club has become a social, as well as practical organization. Today, the group boasts 35 very active members, an impressive step forward from its original eight. The group’s determined attitude is embodied by its President, Colleen Miller, who is blind. “We are people with disabilities, not disabled people,” she said. Unlike many other on-campus organizations, The Independents does not limit its actions to the University community; rather, the organization’s impace is felt city-wide. One objective of the group is assuring handicapped people that the Buffalo Light Rail Rapid Transit system Is free of barriers. Another important community-wide project The Independents have in the works is the establishment of an Independent Living Center in the city. The center, modeled after a similar center in Berkeley, California, is being organized by Tony Serra, one of the original members of The Independents. Obtaining greater freedom of movement by greater accessibility—though an important part of Its work—is by no means the sole function of The Independents. The group supports a recreational program in which members participate with an enthusiasm unrivaled even among varsity sports teams, said one member. Miller, working closely with Viola Diebold, the organization’s recreation counselor, has established a program which includes a weekly bowling league, archery and target range competition as well as individual activities such as swimming and weight-lifting. One of the areas where barriers still block handicapped access is the athletic complexes. While work has begun to alleviate access problems to Clark Hall, the Bubble however, is still ridden with barriers. In addition to athletic activities, the organization, as any group, engages in fundraising activities. Presently it is planning a disco for November 16, to take place in the Squire Hall’s Fillmore Room—the proceeds of which will be split between The Independents and the Independent Living Center. Ed Newton, the group's Vice President, said, “The group not only brings people who are handicapped together to work towards overcoming barriers, but also to share similar experiences with each other, moving each member towards a greater sense of self-help; In short—Independence.” ml * -'. 4«U JR PE Jr ~~ Jg&j AfCS . '.JS eE �I <0 move unity �o editorial i Q. Ketter’s expense account f Time has come To the Editor: P Saturday. The simultaneous scheduling of the rallies and the increasing frequency in which demonstrators are chanting "No Nukes” are helping to boost the cause. No longer are the anti-nukes sneered upon by the establishment as “some off-the-wall radicals looking for a cause.” Not only have they located a worthy cause, but they’re becoming established. The rallies serve to remind the public that the nuclear wastes and the anti-nukes aren't going to go away. But there were two special benefits to the rally in West Valley. It was Congresswoman Elizabeth Holtzman who told the audience that the State should not be blackmailed into accepting any sort of deal. What was significant about Holtzman’s statement went beyond her remarks. A congressional leader—one who is considering running for the New York senatorial post—was sounding her bugle. The battle cry was being pushed on the government. Nuclear development, waste and storage are issues that politicians are being forced to confront. As we have witnessed with anti-abortion activists, the nuclear issue (in the wake of Three Mile Island) is one of such emotional magnitude that people may soon be voting on just it alone. However, not all of the rally was successful. Holtzman did not propose any legislation—she only said that she supported some. Local legislators proposed restricting future transportation and storage in Cattaraugus County, but they may lack necessary votes to see substantive measures achieved. These are all problems that must be addressed by anti-nuke activists. They must start to isolate, attack, and throw out of office the nuclear supporters. One way this can be done is by continuing to bring information to the public's eye. Although West Valley witnessed qualified speakers, only the media was impressed. Anti-nuke forces have to locate their future rallies in more centralized and perhaps politically potent places. An open field, eight miles from the plant itself, won’t draw large crowds. The site of the rally was pleasant and the country air served to clear one’s mind of the oil company’s (a Getty oil corporation subsidiary owns the Nuclear Fuel Services plant) propaganda. The Fall’s changing leaves pointed to the changing direction of “the cause.” To everthing turn, turn, turn, There is a season, turn, turn, turn, And a time for every purpose under heaven ...” The time of the anti-nuke movement is here.

The grey skies did limit the size of the crowd, but success isn't always measured in numbers. Thbe people who hiked the road to the demonstration site were not there to be recruited. Most were either students or locals. Both didn’t need to be convinced. All agreed—the Nuclear Fuel Services reprocessing plant is dangerous and no further storage of radioactive wastp should be allowed. The government should clean-up the facility before it becomes a catastrophe, and the work should be done without any deals. The Feds should pay for the work with no strings attached, namely no “interim” storage arrangements are acceptable. The West Valley rally reaped the benefits that organizers have begun to expect from any anti-nuke protest. The press flocked to the site. Coverage in Western New York couldn't have been better according to Rally organizers Lawrence Farber. He noted that throughout the country, newspapers carried stories about West Valley along with similar articles about protests in other states on Business Manager Bill Finkelstein The Spectrum is served by College Press Service, Field Newspaper Syndicate, Los Angeles Times Syndicate, Collegiate Headlines Service and Pacific News Service.

I guess that's why I’m a glutton for stories about confidence tricksters. I just don’t want to have a personal experience with them. You don’t have to be a confidence trickster to make a pile, though. Take Ketter, for instance. Here is a type of man I wholeheartedly admire, and I guess all Americans do, too. How else would you explain the fact that Ketter Is allowed an expense account that amounts to $18,000 a year? Americans are indulgent towards a man who takes free advantage of a high position, because secretly they like to dream about the day when they can themselves be in a similar position. Of course, when the person is a man in the national, and global, eye, like Nixon was, things have gone a bit too far, and Americans righteously hound the fellow out of his cosy cacoon. For two bits, I suspect they would tar and feather him, and ride him out on a rail into the Atlantic Ocean. All the same, remember that Nixon eventually got off with a free pardon, which only goes to show. Getting back to Ketter, he has evidently had his astronomical expense account for years and years. The auditors regularly complain; the man who doles out the money will vehemently Insist that his organization has a right to pay Ketter's expenses: Ketter himself, or his spokesman, wil talk about the immense benefits that may accrue to the University if visiting dignitaries are feasted royally. A man should know which side his bread is buttered on, and I for one don’t blame Ketter for wanting to hang onto his job. But tell me, since I’m new to Buffalo, who did Ketter entertain to the tune of $18,000 in a single year? Did the Queen of England visit President Ketter? Or Bert Lance (no meeting more fraught with potential since Butch Cassidy met the Sundance Kid), Shiek Yamani, or even Jackie Onassis? I only wish I knew how to use my tongue as Ketter must have done in winning over the Trustees. The trouble is, my foot keeps getting in the way of my tongue every time ! open my mouth. K.S. Ravindran Can’t understand To the Editor: As a concerned student, I feel this University has a major problem concerning the lack of “understandable” English speaking professors and teaching assistants, especially in the Engineering, Science and Math departments of this educational facility. As tuition increases, I feel cheated when I can’t even comprehend my professor’s instructions and explanations. I understand fully that these professors are competent in their fields but their abundance of knowledge seems useless if it isn’t able to be properly communicated. Therefore, their time and the time of all students concerned is being wasted. It would be in the students’ best interests if the leaders of this educational institution considered and acted upon the above problem. Name withheld upon request Another Voice by Ralph Allen If this country were-to be frank with itself it would have to include racism as part of its Gross National Product—it has become that much ingrained in American culture. Racism sprouts many offspring. Down South, I was told that Southern racism was easier to take than its Northern counterpart. “At least here I know they don’t care for me, instead of smiling in your face as they twist the knife in your back like they do up North," a black woman told me. Here, "up North,” the South could always be portrayed as the less-than-civilized half of this country. After all, wasn’t it the South that emerged before television cameras with blood on its hands from a Birmingham church where black, children lay dead, victims of a firebomb, or from the site of a lynching, or from the streets where it had let its dogs and firehoses loose on nonviolent civil rights activists? And we won’t even mention the thousands of incidents that never made the six o’clock news. The North could rest assured that whatever malice it held in its heart toward blacks would remain there—it wouldn’t ugly itself with the sort of bestialities typical of the South. Or would it? I first noticed it (and by that I mean the media first stood up and noticed—because that’s when something becomes real, right?) in neighborhoods in the New York where I was raised. In 1976 Bill Moyers of PBS fame did a program entitled “Rosedale: The Way It Is.” A black family moved into a white enclave in Queens and upon that, after years of mounting tensions between whites and blacks in Queens, the whole putrid mess exploded. The Spencers, the black family, hardworking, respectable people were hit by two firebombs. Police described the last bomb as being intended to wipe out the family. A note attached to it said, “Nigger, be warned. We have time. We will get your firstborn first. Signed, Viva Boston, KKK.” The family stood its ground, but attitudes could never be the same again. It was clear that not only did the North have malice in its heart, but it was not totally averse to hitting blacks with it in its strongest form. The North had gone KKK. I scanned the papers nervously from that day on, looking for the time when these incidents would become a wave and that wave a war. I hope I’m wrong, but recently I think the incidents have begun to swell. Recently New York Mayor Ed Koch spoke against the attacks on another black family. When he visited the family to lend them his support, he was greeted by a group of angry whites who told the mayor, their mayor, that his opposition to their sentiments would not go unheeded. They told him there were other whites like themselves, and they too would notice. Koch was taken aback—he hadn’t expected persons who voted for him to declare publicly they were racists—privately that would be okay, however. To the whites involved, this w£.s war, baby. A few weeks later, a Long Island home owned by a black executive in a chalk-white neighborhood was firebombed. Police, when asked about these incidents, typified them as being the work of outside agitators, or wayward youths. In addition, they didn’t think any organization was coordinating these activities. All this came in the way of assauging the overwhelming bulk of whites in these communities who were content to let their dislike, if they had any, remain in their hearts. Viewing the increasing frequency of these incidents, their comments have only served to chill my blood further. For example, if these were indeed the actions of unorganized individuals, then the disease that brought on these actions probably is more widespread than if it were isolated to a band of bigoted zealots like the KKK. The malaise was springing spontaneously, the police seem to support. There was no head that one could lop off and kill this noxious beast. It has become a hydra. Well perhaps the hydra was localized to the New York area, we might have thought. But all the while we knew that Jt would be only a matter of time before the hydra came to grow here. And it has. Police arrested Saturday one suspected tentacle. For a year, a Cayuga Island family, near Niagara Falls, has suffered under its terror. The Williams family have had their house vandalized, a KKK insignia painted across their garage door, and in August, a cross burned on their front lawn. They have had their daughters stay nights with their grandmother in another part of town. Their father is concerned about their safety, but also doesn’t want them to stay “in a situation where they could grow to hate.” “I just wonder why this action was taken against me, my family, my home. Why would one human being do this to another,” he said in an article in the Courier Express. Why would they? And who would they be? Contrary to general opinion, the suspect arrested Friday was not a teen-ager, he was 35 years old. And he wasn’t an outside agitator, he is a nextdoor neighbor of the family. The Williams family hopes this is the end of their tribulations. They are decent folk, Mr. Williams is a supervisor at Carborundum, his wife a school teacher. They deserve better. But the attacker, or attackers, weren’t looking at them for their humanity. He, or they, saw one thing—a black family in a white neighborhood. I too hope the Williams' woes are over, but it is because of the damned motivation of the attacker(s) that I don’t think it is. It may be over for the Williamses, but for the majority of black people, the hydra’s reach continues to grow. * �feedback Humanities and fiscal philistinism: Ivory to vinyl tower Editor's note: Professor Wolf’s commentary first appeared in last Friday’s Issue of The Spectrum. We are re-running the piece because we feel many readers may have missed it. The piece is an important look at the University and its leaders from one of its faculty members. by Howard Wolf Those of us who came to teach in a democratic, progressive, and enlightened State University of New York (Buffalo) beween 1963 and 1970—when the "old" private, basically local, and provincial University of Buffalo (UB) joined the “new” and invigorated State system (SUNY)—are now something Hke an endangered species. The idea of building a great university, critical in spirit and committed to its faculty in their diversity, even peculiarity, hasbeen supplanted by the ethos of the trade school. A vision of becoming a public Oxford (the inspiration of Martin Meyerson who abandoned our teargas ridden campus In 1969 for the Hall of Ivy) has given way to the notion of the University as a service station supplying local needs; to the idea of the university as an aggrandized employment agency. Our situation is typical and national. We’re now in the business of training Twin Fair Managers, more Hooker chemists (to superintend more Love Canals), and Pot Hole Control experts. These are the halcyon days here and across the land for the School of Management, Natural Sciences and Mathematics, and Engineering. How did we come to this reduced version of our larger dream? Why has the administration in Buffalo—an administration that came vindictively into power in a backlash after the collapse of the student movement—used the Proposition 13mentality and recessionary trends of the 1970’s to cater to a partially real, and, I hope, somewhat imagined constituency within the University to disable the humanities and the social-historical sciences? This vendetta against humane letters, Educational Studies, and the Social Sciences in favor of Management (the “salvationary” field of the 1970’s), Engineering, and the Natural Sciences is aimed both at satisfying Carey’s Division of the Budget (DOB) and bolstering support for the sustained appointment of this University’s President, Robert L. Ketter. The President and his staff are making use of our immediate past in doing this. They are trying to get those members of the faculty to hold the line who (recruited like them mainly from the managerial-technocratic disciplines) were appaled by campus radicalism in the 1960’s, a radicalism that called into question the narrow careerism and governmental affiliations so crulcal fo the funded life of the technocratic faculties; that called into question their alliance of academic, corporate, military, and governmental interests; the joined intersts of America's academic Power Elite. How does this work? The Vice President for Academic Affairs (VPAA), preparing to meet the expected pressures from the DOB, came up with a plan to move SUNY (Buffalo) as a whole to a faculty-student ratio of 17/1 by 1981. This arbitrary ratio put him in a position to do two things: to reduce faculty lines and to reallocate faculty resources (lines and salaries) among the various and favored units of the University. His ratios put him in a position to make inroads upon Arts and Letters, Education, and the Social Sciences in order to strengthen thetechnical and vocational areas I’ve mentioned. His figures also made it possible for him both to cut faculty lines as a wholewhile adding where he chose. His fingers allowed him to cut 66 lines and add 19. This became possible by exacting a sacrifice of 39 lines from Arts and Letters. By taking these 39 lines from Arts and Letters, a virtual bloodbath, was was geared up for Carey’s budget. The VPAA was getting ready in his plan for the imminent 197060 budget cuts and was projecting cuts for 1980-81. He was leading us to one slaughter and dressing us for the next. Carey’s actual budget cut only called finally for SUNY (Buffalo) to absorb 24 faculty line losses; he didn't specify where cuts were to be made. Our administration, with its managerial-corporate goals and policies, with its preference for numbers over ideas, decided where the cuts were to be made. Arts and Letters was told to serve up 12 lines—one half the total for the entire University. By coming up with his ratios, the VPAS was able easily, as I’ve demonstrated, to absorb the DOB requirements for 1979-80. The boys in the Virtyl Tower had come up with just the "short-fall" (Orwell, where are you now?) in Arts and Letters that they needed. They knew they could meet a body count—i.e., "needed faculty adjustment on existing base.” The eradication of a distinction between Ivory Tower and “market” place that students and faculty dissidents wanted a decade ago is echoed by an administration (hostile then and now to radical reform) to justify sacrifice in the humantities In favor of “market”-able trades and skills. The President is playing the numbers best calculated for his “re-upping.” Whether the figures are accurate or not and whether we could generate different ones through different bookkeplng methods are not the Issues. The historic mission of the M W'E'VE FOUHP THE 1AM WHO CAH Take It Inside by Joyce Howe ‘‘Although altogether too much of life is mood." —Renata Adler Everything is so quiet today. Though "Howe” is a Jewish name to some, I am Jewish only in the sense that in both the Chinese and Jewish cultures, there is guilt enough to share. Perhaps this is the reason why today, Yom Kippur has always struck me as so whole. The / Ching is a book Michael, poet and mountain climber, lives by. On Friday, a day of quirks, of outbursts and tentative laughs, a day the sky was a slab of cement, he informed me this week was meant for joy. According to the I Ching I will reserve judgement. Although, when I atone for all of my years’ sins, hopefully, there should be no room left for anything but joy. The warning signal from the rapid transit construction site is blowing. Even up here, tucked away in a Squire Hall corner office on the third floor, the blasting reverberates. You feel the floor shake as the typewriter hums. This third floor office is a fortress of sorts. The isolated world of the college student becomes the isolated world of the college editor. The world becomes black and white, the feel of newsprint and still photographs, the ink rubbing off on your hands and staining,your heart. no longer have the patience to sit in classes and summon answers. I have strayed too far. Deadlines only seem pressing, only make sense when they are for the newspaper rather than a professor. A major in English, I’m allowing a sixmonth old incomplete to dangle in front of me because neither Dickens nor Conrad could lure words from my pen. This summer, wading told painfully through Heart of Darkness, of the promise with myself, consoled myself Apocalypse, Now. Perhaps could write a review. Walking by the winding green wall (a shade only acceptable on lime suckers), I remember I I I University has been reversed. Where once the sacred and liberal arts wore to be protected in the 19th century against the incursion of materialism, applied science, and mercantilism, now It’s the technocratic and fiduciary sciences (skills?) that ask to be protected from the impingement of the historical, philosophic, and literary disciplines. The Dynamo now looks suspiciously at the Virgin. What failure of value and historical vision leads administrators here and elsewhere to support narrow professionalism, career training, and corporate style In concert with legislators? The simple answer is, of course, money. The well is dry, we know this.We feel it in our paychecks and at the pump, but this doesn’t explain properly why decisions within available budgets fail unfailingly against the Humanities. An unacceptable explanation lies in the method of allocation: something like a Nielsen-rating approach (when it suits the administration) is used to count the student "market.” One Dean here actually talks about the "share” of the "market” his department "exports" to other departments. We think his metaphors are mixed, but this substitution of viewers and commodities for students (with all that it implies about the connection of ideas to products) defines the fiscal Philistinism we're up against. He argues.for popularity, relevance, and instant gratifictlon (the demographies and statistics of the moment) against value, balanced judgment, and a respect for the past. What we lack here at Buffalo and across the country is a serious debate about the meaning of the arts and humanities within the State University, an open inquiry (in the halls of the Legislature, Congress, Foundations, and, of course, universities themselves) into the long range meaning of budgetary assaults upon theLiberal Arts. Can we let the dictates of today’s job market shape our judgements about the human resources we’ll need to go into the next century? What are the implications of preparing one graduate student to be a scholar of Chinese history and language against the training of 100 students to be accountants? It is more important to produce one humane book on Islamic influence on Western Culture a guide to laying petroleum pipelines? Do these questions make any sense at all? Can kind, quality, and style of learning in one field be compared with another along any simple line of valuation? We're at a critical point in our history here in Western New York, and we know it's pretty much the same across the country. We’re letting the meg in the Vinyl Tower (no women, of course) produce ratios thatmay have little to do with the national, international, and inter-stellarrealities that we’ll face at the end of the twentieth century. TO A BETTER Pyepf* when last November a thousand of us sat and stood on the nearby Abbott parking lot, the splinters from the wood posts of our handmade signs digging into palms of clenched fists as we confronted Hugh Carey. I remember thinking nothing would change, that we were children because the media and the politicians believed we were children. But it was better than nothing. It is better than remembering. Better than the wall. I spent the weekend in the country. There were no animals save for two squirrels and two dogs who had strayed from their masters’ cabins. Hiking up a trail for two and a half miles, I saw empty Dorito bags scattered and beer bottles stuck in the crevices of trees. When I reached the mountain top, I was giddy. I scared away the hiding deer by calling down to hear my own echo. Sometimes, humans are such fools. After spending the night in the woods underneath a truly black sky—unlit by streetlamps' light—and waking to trees whose leaves are colors no brush could mix, you are changed. Nature is no longer abstract, no longer distant. It becomes safety, and larger than you could ever hope man to be. The sound of quiet and the sight of a fire painstakingly built from pieces of wood and twigs found on the ground are companions no words can alter. There is a peace seen only in dancing flames nurtured with your own breath and smelled only in burning wood. There is something to being alone. My sins are the selfish kind, self-absorption a weakness. And so I fled to the country, to the forest for the chance to be alone with no reminders of my weakness. And so I fled from the whispers of “guilty, guilty” for wanting to be alone. I fled from the people I hurt, from the friends I have strayed from. Yom Kippur is meant to be spent alone. I will whisper loud enough for some to hear. LI6HT THC W/tf �M Beth responds To the Editor: • ! 2o> I The picture presented In the letter about me by Mr. Koenigsberg, in The Spectrum of September 21, 1979, needs correction. Seventy-eight students in the course mentioned by him (given In 1976) signed a protest against my removal from that course. They presented the protest not only to the Physics Department, the President and other administrators of our University. It also was printed In The Spectrum of February 11,1976. I shall appreciate it very much if besides this letter The Spectrum will also reproduce (as evidence) the accompanying photo copy, showing the protest (preferably also confirming the date of printing, February 11,1976, shown on the same sheet). Several students in that course also wrote individual letters in protest against the action taken against me. Two of them, printed in The Spectrum, on February 4 and 18, 1976, respectively, claim knowledge of a very foul play against me. Amazing was the lightning speed of the protest. In one class period the students learned of my removal from the course. At approximately the time of the next class period I found in my mailbox copy of the protest on my behalf, with all 78 signatures. I have proof in my files, obtained by notarization, of this speed. The following was a comparatively minor one in a series of actions, generally interpreted as hostile, by the man who then was the chairman of the Physics Department. Only as late as on the Friday proceeding the Monday on which classes started, a switch was made In my assignment, assigning me to that course. I had no prior indication that this action was being consider by anybody. 1 had no possibility to reject the assignment. The mentioned chain of reactions generally interpreted as hostile began almost Immediately after I had submitted a In memorandum to the man who then was the chairman. In it I had stated that an action taken by him was not permissible. Mr. Koenigsberg wrote about complaining In force. So much the more, It would have been appropriate for him to mention that, favorably to me, students In that course did complain In force, protesting against the action of taking the assignment of their course away from me. Eric W. Beth Assistant Professor Department of Physics and Astronomy Negative reaction (from The Spectrum, Wednesday, 11 February 1976) To the Editor: We, the undersigned, presently enrolled in Physics 114 are greatly disturbed by the behavior of the Phsyics Department since the semester began. Continuity in education, especially concerning courses so closely related as Physics 113 and Physics 114 should be viewed as of utmost importance, if the needs of the students are to be met. Not only was continuity disturbed by assigning a new teacher at the beginning of the term, but changing professors three weeks into the semester further added to the confusion. This confusion can only have a negative effect on our success in studying physics and therefore is not in the best interest of us as students. Furthermore we feel that the handling of the situation was unnecessary to Dr. Beth as a prjfessor, but more imporantly as a human teing. We strongly resent the fact that the Physics Department feels no obligation to account for its actions to those so directly affected. 278 students of Physics 114 WBIN Radio, WIVB-TV, THI SAMPLI STORIS and HARVIY A CORKY PRISINT ... “THE MOST STIMULATING EVENT OF THE SEASON!" -K err.

The writer was irresponsible and off-target in both the substance of his argument and his method of attack. First, to accuse Dr. Beth of having "neither the desire nor ability to teach” is not only unjustly injurous to his reputation, it is incorrect. Dr. Beth’s exuberence and desire to convey his subject is unequalled by anyone I have seen in my three years at this University.

Dr. Beth has recently asked for student feedback on course content and pacing—which was all that was needed in the first place. * at tha SHEA'S BUFFALO th OCT. FRI., SiOO 5 P.M.

Roaming the sidelines, clapping their hands, the UB cheerleaders were on the job. They are not hard to notice—the group exudes and enthusiasm energy expressed through wild cheers and cries that are meant to not only excite and entertain the partisian crowd but also to lift the Bulls’ spirits. “The main idea is to get the team going,” noted Joe Sedita, one of the squad’s co-captains. “I’ve been on athletic teams, and when you’re on the field, you can hear positive remarks.” It may appear easy from the stands, but hard work goes into perfecting and coordinating the cheers and formations. On the average, the eight women and four men who make up UB’s cheerleading team practice about eight hours per week. Their most arduous task is to work on the mounts, the group’s most visual and impressive form of communication with its audience. the Presently cheerleaders have a five-mount repertoire; three at most are used in any one game. Up in the air "The hardest one is the ‘split’ "Yeah, I take a lot of shit about that, but actually it's girls who are new to cheerleading," Sedita explained. "When I used to go to football games, it used to be that all cheerleaders were guys. But because of all the jumping around and clapping people tend to associate the sport with girls... plus of course they’re nicer to look at.” Cheerleading a sport? A resounding "yes” is the answer given by Sedita. "It resembles gymnastics, I think.

A Sheriff’s deputy waved me on to a traffic free Route 20A, barely acknowledging the screeching my worn tires made at 35 miles per hour. The high school hotshot taking two dollars from each car at the Rich Stadium parking lot finally uttered the afternoon’s first words: “Good morning,” he said, “Not too many people here, eh?” Rich Spacious Stadium—faithful home of the Buffalo Bills and a place to shack up for a day for the Syracuse Orangemen. National Collegiate Athletic Association football, Division I caliber, made its debut there Saturday afternoon in a very hyped up contest between the “home” Syracuse club and the far away Washington State Cougars. Scattered wisps of smoke rose from the few-and-far-between tailgate parties gracing the almost barren parking lot. The majority of the vehicles were adorned with bumper stickers displaying such catchy phrases as “Go Orange” and “SU Football.” The people, their mouths watering from barbeque ribs and coolers stacked with Genesee beer, were not typical college students—but rather business executives, doctors, lawyers and engineers. They were there to cheer their alma mater: win, lose or draw. Somehow the glory of Division I football vanished when I stepped on the field during pregame warmups. “Hey,” I thought to myself, “These guys aren’t any bigger than a UB football players.” Besides, the Syracuse chap practicing field goals was boardering on awful, sending his kicks nowhere near the skinny upright erected specifically for college ball. My interest turned to the more absorbing astro-turf, still soggy from a prior evening of showers. Hmmm, if the weatherman is right, this game could be fun because this stuff isn’t going to take much before it looks like a swamp. Watching them slip and slide all over the bright-green carpet would be exciting. The few fans who had trickled through the turnstiles were also looking for alternative ways of amusing themselves. Perfect strangers turned their heads toward me as I strolled around the circumference of the grid, asking about my health and wellbeing. “Who cares,” I thought. Syracuse accommodated the sports writers with the Bills’ comfortable press-box, one that resembles a plush country club ballroom. The usual buffet lunch was there—a wide variety ofcoldcuts plus fried chicken. The beer was not free. What a gip, the Bills give it away free. Still, my tastebuds turned sour when I sat down and took a peek at the program Syracuse provided. Buried in the back was a spread on the construction of the Carrier Dome—the great White Elephant Governor Hugh Carey handed SU amidst plenty of fanfare. For a mere 150 dollar contribution to the dome anyone could receive five years worth of reservations for SU games—not counting the price of the ticket, of course. For that price. I’d rather have a chunk of the roof. In between scoreboard messages for further donations for the “Careyer” Dome, the the flashed lights attendance—10,004. One eighth of what the Bills will draw this coming Sunday, three times the crowd at Rotary Field that same Saturday afternoon. The sportsmanship of the team hoped to bring big time college football back to Buffalo irked the head coach of Washington State Jime Walden so much he publicly tore into the Syracuse mentor, Frank Maloney. “I don’t know how they play football here in the East,” Walden snapped as the Washington players unraveled from a solid beating. “But out West, when we give somebody a licking, we do it with respect.” The Orange ran up over 50 points in a one-sided, ho-hum affair, blowing the struggling Washington team away with an explosive running game. The crowd applauded vigorously for every score, even when Syracuse unmercifully chose to go for two points when they already lead by 30 points late in the game. A fine way to treat guests. Syracuse was not the only team in town Saturday, 3,000 people are witness to that. Those who chose to be part of a student crowd out to have a good time for next-to-no money came up with the exciting afternoon. Instead of watching a Division I team—supposedly well-primed after months of practice—fumble and throw interceptions, they witnessed a “lowly” Division III team play a heck of an exciting game. And while sitting quietly in the press-box in plush Rich Stadium, I yearned for the chance to be drinking a beer in the stands of Rotary Field, where I could guess at the time remaining on the ancient scoreboard, watch my change fall through the bleachers, or be amazed that at least at UB, the players don’t run up the score over a beaten team. —David Davidson —Uisa Frodman SHUTOUT; After a so-so start, the field hockey Royals are beginning to turn the 1979 season into a success. Able to shut down the offense of Genesee Community College with a strong defense, Buffalo breezed to a 4-0 triumph in a game played Friday at Rotary Field. ■ “A greatly gifted poet”* NEW AND SELECTED POEMS by Irving Feldman A powerful and passionate collection of msyor new poems and selections from National Book Award nominee Irving Feldmans five previous books. “Feldman is always fully up front, master of his language and occasion, a true and feeling wit...”(R.W. Flint, 1973) *Publishers Weekly $15.00 Viking hardcover $7.95 Penguin paperback THE VIKING PRESS 625 Madison Avenue, New York, N.Y. 10022 f ' �* «»• Comeback win was just trying to get back at them.” It was Rodriguez who made the Jackets sorry they had opened their mouths when the contest appeared out of reach. “The offensive line just gave me more time to throw in the second half,” he explained. “And I found our tight end Kevin Pratt open all the time, so I threw to him more.” Discovery Pratt argued that his sudden emergence as a primary receiver in the second half was no —continued from page 1— ... accident. “During the halftime, the coach found that the defensive flow was going to the strong side, so I just took advantage of the back side being open,” related Pratt after hauling down five passes for 95 yards, only one of which came in the first half—that one for just five yards. Dando and his staff may have realized what they were doing wrong at halftime, but no one could foresee a comeback of such magnitude, not even the coach. “There was a lot of chewing out before the second half,” Dando admitted. "The first half was a series of mistakes on our part—a couple ofbad punts, getting beat on one-toone coverage. "But the kids caught fire. We got the breaks—the on-side kick (that Waynesburg’s Jeff Culp fumbled with his team ahead by 12 early in the closing quarter), the penalties (123 yards worth), the interceptions—and we came back," Dando concluded. UB’s free safety Bob Costanzo, who led the Bulls’ defense with 11 tackles and picked off one of the four interceptions, noted “Our secondary was excellent today. We had a lot of tackles. We stopped the runs from becoming very long." Long way back It was Constanzo’s partner at the safety position, Sean Kowal, who unknowingly triggered Buffalo’s comeback in the third quarter —with UB behind 28-3—when he caught Jackets’ reserve quarterback Jay Krepps’ poorly thrown pass near midfield. After a 15 yard personal foul penalty was walked off against the visitors, it left UB at Waynesburg’s 33-yard line. It seemed that the Bulls’ offense, which had perpetually sputtered and stalled during the first half, would again waste a good opportunity. But faced with a fourth down and seven yards to go, Rodriguez unloaded a perfect toss to Gary Quatrani in the Jackets’ end zone, bringing UB to within 18 points. The score remained unchanged until the fourth quarter. On UB’s —Garry Preneta HANOS-UP: While Waynesburg quarterback Jay Krebbs unleashes a fourth quarter pass, Buffalo defenders converge in an attempt to bat away the toss. Leading the charge is Cosmo Nestola (93) who is joined by Dave Florek (72) and John White (99). In the foreground, the Bulls' Paul McCarthy (29) blankets receiver Donald Dock (80). initial series, Rodriguez engineered his most impressive drive. Originating from Buffalo’s 28-yard line, Rodriguez used the passing game like a seasoned veteran, finding Pratt on three occasions for 18-, 19- and 15-yard completions. Fullback Tim Najuch did not hurt, either, amassing 19 yards on the ground on three tries. Rodriguez himself sneaked into the end zone from one yard out with little over 11 minutes left. The two-point conversion attempt was botched, but on UB booter Pawluk’s Steve subsequent on-side kick off, Buffalo’s Dan Angelo recovered Culp's costly fumble, handing the UB offense the ball at the Jackets’ 46-yard line. Rodriguez now saw light at the end of the tunnel, and went to work. Following a pass interference call that gave UB its initial first down, the Bulls signal-caller nailed running back Mark Maier with an eight-yarder, and then flNflCONE’5 INN — A Home Away From Home found Price open ou consecutive passes, the latter being thread between defenders in the end zone. Pawluk converted on the extra point, bringing UB within 28-23 at 6:20. Brick-line time Buffalo’s defense denied the Jackets’ efforts with incredible consistency, allowing only one meaningless first down. But it was the offense that took credit for the charge, and it was Rodriguez who took credit for the game-clinching drive, although helped by several Jacket penalties. Three minutes read on the game clock, and the fans cheered wildly as UB embarked from its own 23-yard line. After advancing to the 36 from a pass interference call against the visitors, Rodriguez found Price streaking through midfield, earning a 24-yard gain. Pratt got his chance on the subsequent play, and although he juggled the ball for a moment, he was able to advance with it to the Waynesburg three. Maier notched the winning points, unleashing an outbreak of emotion from the UB sideline and the crowd. The team is probably still celebrating. — Le Antonio'8 IF YOU WANT TO RELAX AND HAVE A GOOD TIME 110 Merrimac ANACONE'S INN IS THE PLACE TO DO IT 836-2454 - Under New Management BOB DENTICE We have no Hootin, Hollering, Yelling, SPECIALS!

She added, “College students today are definitely more informed than previous generations. However, many myths about sex still exist.” With twelve years experience in the field of sex education, Christensen and the staff of counselors strive toward, dispelling the sexual mystique in the genial atmosphere of the Center. The male and female counselors are student volunteers who have undergone an intensive training program taught by professionals from the community before being certified. This teaching collective is comprised of,. doctors, social workers. Health educators, and psychiatrists. Apart from the teaching, there is also ‘in service’ training which occurs monthly.

Aside from the short-term counseling that the Center provides, there is also a carefully screened referral service, The “no lecture, but support for choice” philosophy practiced at the Center, Christensen said, extends to the places one might be referred. “The services provided are perhaps the best in the area because the counselors are cqipathetic. They themselves encounter problems similar to those of their peers,” said Christensen. » , > , At a University overflowing with long lines and applications, many find it refreshing that the Center operates simply pn a walk-in basis. Counselors are readily available and there are five private rooms in which to speak. In addition, the Center has a small browsing library of topical books and journals. j laOi.'t The Clinic has a full line of birth control products available to men a nd women at reduced rates. Before going to the Clinic for prescribed forms of birth control, a woman or couple must visit the Sex Ed Center for counseling. The private twenty to thirty minute session enables the counselor to obtain a health history and to fully inform the individual of all methods of birth control, “The Birth Control Clipic is run on as personal a level as possible,” explained Hoffman. “Our patients don’t have to spend unexpected hours waiting to see a doctor and unlike a doctor’s office, our fees are low.” Christensen commented, “The gynecologists that work in our clinic are willing to spend time with a woman—responding to any questions.” The Center has two locations, one on the Main Street Campus at 261 Squire Hall (831-5422), and the other in 115 Porter on the Amherst Campus (636-2361). Editor’s note: The Spectrum ’s Marc Sherman, a research assistant in the Environmental Studies -Center, details an international survey on environmental attitudes. The UB Center is- heading up the American contribution. by Marc Sherman Environmental Editor 60 people believe pollution can be cleaned up? Does the public place its hopes for a better life on technology or on voluntary lifestyle changes? Do people trust industrialists? The UB .Environmental Studies Center (ESC), under the auspices of ESC Director Tester Milbrath, is seeking to clarify these attitudes through a national survey. Milbrath believes many people are changing their perceptions of “how the world works,” cspcially in light of high energy prices, Milbrath sees a noticeable shift from the perception of nature as a force to be conquered to a life-support system needing careful management. Yet Milbrath warned that “conditions will very likely get much worse before people recognize the environmental predicament we’re in.” He dteef the Love Canal and Three Mile Island as tragedies that shock people (including “experts”) into realizing the vulnerability of modem industrial society. The ESC study i? funded by the Sdence Center in West Berlin, which is conducting its own study as well as funding a survey in England. The massive cross-national study is “not merely a public opinion poll,” according to Acting Project Director Jeff Coopersmith, who is assuming responsibility for the study while Milbrath is on sabbatical. “The entire study should bring into perspective the views of citizens, government officials, business leaders, media representatives, and environmentalists concerning both real and perceived environmental problems,” Coopersmith said. He explained that there is often a profound gap between public opinion and the beliefs of government officials. on preliminary testing at UB last Spring ESC’s national Survey is and -Summer. Last March, joO undergraduate students answered a survey that showed preferences such as self-actualization and public service over wealth. In accordance with a growing belief among environmentalists, those students sampled saw compatibility between environmental protection and economic growth. The study was refined and sent to 25 percent of UB faculty, staff and administrators. Yet occupation, age, and sex made virtually no difference on the responses. Most respondents placed a much higher trust in environmentalists and scientists—rather than industrialists—for solving environmental problems. Assistant Project Director Martha Cornwell noted that initial findings from (he UB survey indicated that “citizens would be willing to vote outside of their political party or change their party affiliation because of their strong feelings concerning environmental issues.’,’ However, Coopersmith and Cornwell warned that the UB results could not be generalized to the American public. “It is thought that the University community participates more in politics than the general they said. ) .

Basil Contributing Editor to help out during the interim because it believed the survey to be sloppily tabulated and open to fallacious Fifty-fifty. SCATE. the Student Course and Teacher Evaluation book, will be published with the help of $5000 worth of funding delivered directly from the University Administration. UB Assistant Executive Vice President Robert Wagner said Wednesday. The Undergraduate Student Association (SA) will shell out the other $5000 needed to get the survey off the ground and into the hands of the undergraduates here. SCATE is a published handbook detailing students’ views towards courses they have taken and the instructors who have taught them. Designed to “help students in their selection of courses and instructors,” according to SA Director of Academic Affairs Judiann Carmack, the book also hopes to “help teachers improve pointing out their weaknesses.” ¥ • ,«. s Sa Spring and Fall 1976 Results Third Edition . . ' . Faculty support Before the Administration would relent to partially support the survey* after declaring their philosophical support of it ip a meeting with student leaders two weeks ago. President Robert L. Ketter’s office suggested that a faculty poll would be necessary to determine the feasibility of SCATE. In' fact, 22 departments have “all of their faculty participating in the survey,” according to Carmack. The Administration’s $5000 grant, however, may well be just a one semester deal, according to sources in both the Administration and SA. Since, according to UB Vice President of Academic Affairs Ronald F. Bunn, SCATE is a “student-sponsored activity.” SA should fully fund similar- projects in the future. Bunn suggested that the faculty could possibly “help out” too, since the faculty “may benefit from the survey.” ta halation SCATE has not been published since 1976 due to SA’s inability to foot the bill. The Administration had declined Sloppy interpretation. In place of SCATE, many departments had own individual evaluation processes. While these results were available for student perusal, they were not published campus wide. The deadline for student completion of this Tail’s SCATE forms has been moved ahead one month from its original October deadline, Carmack said. Student observers feared that the early deadline would impugn the survey’s reliability and alienate possible faculty and Administration supporters of SCATE. The survey is hoped to be published in time for Spring pre-registration. Faculty are now evaluated for tenure and promotion by to resort to their SCATE aided by Administration teams formed of other faculty, department heads and Deans. According to Bunn, the Deans are looking to encourage more programs enabling faculty to evaluate themselves. As a student survey, “SCATE is not meant to be used,” Carmack noted, “for (professional] or advancement procedures unless the instructor so chooses.” It is presently not determined how the Administration will allocate the funds, or from what part of their budget the money will come. Carmack speculated that SA will set up an account with the Administration and draw from it until the S£000 is depleted. Bunn suggested however, that the money may be scooped form UB endowment funds—-investments on gifts made to this University. According to' Bunn, the State doesn’t support “this kind of activity” and has not allotted the necessary funds in its ... budget. Rights of Conscience ultimatum: recognition or lawsuit by Elena Cacavas The Spectrum News Editor The UB Rights of Conscience Group, denied recognition by the Graduate Student Association (GSA), has asked University administrators to either intervene and reverse the decision or address the issue id court. Rights of Conscience Vice President Janine Huber charged that GSA’s “real” motives for denial stemmed directly from differing philosophies between the two groups. Rights of Conscience stepped into the University spotlight last Spring when it publicly opposed mandatory abortion coverage under the Student Health Insurance plan. The mandatory policy was supported by GSA. But according to GSA President Joyce Pinn, the group sought recognition solely for “legitimization” and demonstrated no special interest in the aims and purposes of the graduate student government. Recognition entitles an organization to certain privileges such as space in Squire Hall and access to the campus mail service and resources. University policy entrusts student governments with the power to grant or deny recognition, “so long as by doing so University policy is not violated.” But Rights of Conscience charges that not only is University policy—calling for students to have maximum use of facilities —being violated, but that U.S. Constitutional rights are also being jeopardized. “We see the issue at hand,” Huber explained, “as a violation of speech, association and assembly.” The question was originally discussed at the GSA’s June 13 meeting, but “serious issues brought up,” according to Pinn, postponed the vote. Recognition was finally defeated on September 12, 11-14-6. Huber explained that recognition was sought through GSA because Rights of Conscience has a heavy graduate student constituency. “But we also tried other organizations and they believed we didn’t really belong with them,” She added that the overture was made to seek recognition through the undergraduate student association (SA), “but we got strong indications that it would be tough for us to go that route.” told Monday that he supported GSA’s contention that the group sought recognition for “purely political intents.” IP Huber maintained that Rights of Conscience wants only the privileges granted through recognition. “Funding is not an issue,” she said. “We want to be able to hold meetings and invite speakers and we need a place in the Union to do that.” Not funded Pinn said Monday that if meeting was their sole desire, the group—operating as a study group—could still assemble. But Huber maintained that UB Student Rules and Regulations does not allow any unrecognized group use of campus facilities. “And Squire House Regulations,” she added “allow only casual study groups to assemble. It is unacceptable for us to operate under that guise.” She added that Pinn’s allusions to intentions other than meeting rights, “doesn’t even deserve comment.” A central peg in GSA’s defense is that Rights of Conscience does not have its financial accounts registered through Sub Board. Pinn said that if GSA had no check on the group, money solicitations by Rights of Conscience could damage GSA’s credibility. The Committee formed to study group recognition guidelines Attributed in part to past controversy clouding the question of group recognition on campus and also to a need to review and possibly redefine the recognition process, a University committee of student and administrative constituents was recently established. According to Associate Vice President for Student Affairs—and organizer of the committee—Anthony F. Lorenzetti, the recognition process here has not been reviewed in years. “There may be some need for changes,” he said, although he would not dismiss the possibility of re-adopting current policies. The committee, formed last week, held a meeting Tuesday to discuss the guidelines used by both the undergraduate and graduate student governments in granting recognition. “We need to start out knowing what it means to each government and how they apply it,” Lorenzetti explained. “This is in effect,” he said, “the administration and students working toward one end—the maximum use of resources.” The Administration, he added, would be “remiss” if recognition was denied to a group which deserved it. . Lorenzetti observed that some variations which have appeared in the granting policies over the years need attention. He cited, for example, Sub Board’s right to grant recognition. “That is not a government,” he explained. Lorenzetti also said that the Graduate Student Association (GSA) has stiffened its policy over the years. “It maintains that the group seeking recognition must be an extension of that government’s purpose. That is fine, but it should be discussed. It was not so some years ago.” Student Association (SA) President and student member on the committee Joel Mayersohn explained that formation of the group stemmed from a number of “problems.” He said, “We have to consider how recognition applies to freedom of speech and assembly. We need to re-evaluate the process and establish safeguards for the future.” Referring to the origins of students “recognizing” other student groups Lorenzetti said, “The Administration could pass on all cases, but we have traditionally wanted students to be responsible for sharing resources. “We’re an open campus and we should try to maintain as many policies as possible along that line.” „ technical reason cited, according to Huber, was that there are no provisions in the GSA Constitution for recognizing groups not funded by student mandatory fees. “Groups constantly overrule their guidelines, but GSA said such action was not acceptable,” Huber charged. “I think these technicalities are a sort of smoke screen for the real reasons for denial. There should be a greater appreciation of First Amendment rights. Students in control “The stand we have taken on campus,” Huber added, “is the major problem. At odds are philosophical differences. Some in GSA do not want people like us on campus.” The position advocated by Rights of Conscience regarding abortion coverage called for an optional clause to be offered in the health plan contract. Huber said time is an important aspect now in gaining meeting privileges. “We want to hold meetings and invite speakers. We have definite plans for court action,” However, those plans are targeted at the University. Prior to the 1960’s, recognition power was vested in the Administration h$re. Under the SUNY Chancellor’s guidelines, the Administration can grant that authority to any body within its institution. The UB student governments received that power in the late 1960’s. “Some UB administrators have voiced their support of us,” Huber explained. “They just would like to avoid contradicting a decision made by a student group.” She said that an attorney accompanied Rights of Conscience representatives to the September 12 GSA meeting. He then drafted a letter to the Administration advising that “if immediate action was nof taken to grantrecognition, legal routes would be pursued.” In support of her group’s argument, Hubert cited a 1972 court case, Healy versus James, in which Students for a Democratic Society (SDS) sought recognition on a college campus. She said that the Supreme Court ruled that the university was obliged to allow 1 students use of its facilities. “Denial,” Huber maintained, “was deemed a violation of speech and assembly.” �Syracuse and Buffalo to kick off at same time country with a Not more than. 12,000 to 15,000 fans will pass through the gates of cavernous Rich Stadium at 1:30 p.m. tomorrow when the Syracuse University (SU) football team sinks its cleats into Buffalo soil, Buffalo Bills ticket manager Jim Cipriano said Wednesday. Only 6200 tickets—most of them S10 seats between the 40 yard lines—had been sold at press time Wednesday, but Cipriano estimated that a good at-the-gate response could lift the total above 10,000. UB Director of Sports Information Larry Steele said the number was “not very impressive” for the 80,000 seat arena but that the SU game could nevertheless siphon off some fans who might normally attend the concurrent match between Waynesburg State College and the UB Bulls. The Bulls are playing at Rotary Field tomorrow, also at 1:30. Syracuse, whose quarterback Bill Hurley comes from Depew, has approximately 10 Buffalonians on its 80 man roster, according to Steele, nd the family and friends of those players will almost certainly attend the SU game. The stadium is being constructed with the aid of a $15.3 million subsidy from the State of New York. Last November, students at this University reacted with atiger to Governor Hugh L. Carey’s defense of the stadium funding, and his comment that UB students should not resent Syracuse for it because, “Someday, you might find a Syracuse coed to msucry." UB Athletic officials are incensed over Syracuse’s plans to play both tomorrbw’s game and an October 27 match in Buffalo on UB home dates. UB Men’s Athletic Director Ed Muto wrote his Syracuse counterpart on -May 21, 1979, noting, “It would seem that in investigating other facilities for your 1979 games, you would have had some regard for fellow NCAA schools and their programs.” But Syracuse Director of Men’s Athletics Jake Crouthamel responded three days later: “The whole idea of Syracuse University not acting in good faith is a bunch of baloney.” Since then, according to Steele, there has been virtually no contact between the two schools over the conflict. “They just don’t give a damn,” he said. Syracuse will play three other “home” games at sites other than Rich Stadium, including two at Giants’ Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey. —Mark Meltzer • Someday Syracuse will be playing at Rich Stadium tomorrow while their new domed stadium is under construction. When it is completed sometime before next season, Syracuse—a private school—will become the first college in ’ the Committee domcjl stadium built primarily for its use. formed Wanted: a permanent Graduate School dean A search committee is currently being organized to find a permanent Dean for this University’s Graduate School. Although no specific representatives have formally been announced yet, it is expected that the committee s composition will be disclosed within the next several days. Acting Dean Andrew Holt, who took over the Graduate School last year upon the death of Gilbert Moore, noted that the absence of a permanent dean has not been a problem, and that he has been able to handle the responsibilities with little difficulty. Characterizing the standard duties of the Graduate School Dean, Holt said. Generally, it is my job to assure that our standards of quality are developed, and to ensure that the graduate enterprise is in good repair.” Holt remarked that it is important for the Dean to see that quality standards ap;.5ly particularly to students, so their rights and responsibilities are maintained. Spring replacement He observed that the Dean must be aware of, and deal with, various new developments, including the recruitment of students—especially commuters—to participate in events and activities that are offered at this University. Other responsibilities cited by Holt include accommodating handicapped persons and maintaining the quality of the graduate programs when there is .<* an enrollment problemtU o 1 mnno It is expected that the position will be filled next semester, although it could be sooner, depending on the progress of the searching committee. ~ ; - BullFeather’s Pine Lodge Fine Food & Drink THREE MINUTES FROM THE AMHERST UB CAMPUS! -coupon ■j — J — ON fish FRY WITH the purchase of Ww SECONO r sh fry.

Ketter’s performance as University President should be established by next week, but the key question of how to identify those answering it—if identification is desired at all—is still unresolved. At its meeting Wednesday, the Faculty Senate Executive Committee was informed by member Theodore Mills that the survey’s first draft Will be presented to the Committee next week for “pre-testing.” Ketter will be evaluated by a team of three University presidents from outside the SUNY system later this semester.

It was suggested at the Committee’s September 19 meeting that “secret numerical codes’’ be issued to each questionnaire to identify faculty members, but Faculty Senate Chairman Newton Carver rejected the idea on .the grounds that it invaded confidentiality. But review stipulate that “nonattributable information” is not to be considered, although Carver i? committed to his position.

The idea was new presidential guidelines * ■, raised * the' question that if no attribution is provided, the review committee could totally disregard the survey. Carver responded: “Officially, they don’t have to listen to us. at all.” SUNY Chancellor Clifton R. Wharton has not selected the team of three presidents who will comprise UB President Robert L. Ketter’s evaluation team. Ketter, who is slated to undergo an evaluation this Fall, will be judged by a team of three presidents from outside the SUNY system. Previously, Wharton publicly discussed an October evaluation calendar, but no “time frame" can be set up until the three-person panel is organized. Wharton is currently irt China where he has been invited by Chinese government to meet with top education officials, according to one SUNY spokesman. “Six months to one year ago,” he said, “when Chinese officials met in WSshington, D.C. the Chancellor was invited to discuss possibilities with them.” The possibilities to which he referred could range from establishing an exchange program between universities to sharing academic resources. In Buffalo, the President’s office acknowledged that Ketter, to date, has not received any word from the Chancellor. The SUNY spokesman said, “To the best of my knowledge, I don’t see how the outside team can be established until the Chancellor returns.” Wharton is due back in Albany on October 5. Two weeks ago, Ketter revealed that the Chancellor expected the evaluation to be completed by Thanksgiving. The panel, once selected, will visit this campus and conduct interviews' with representatives of appropriate constituencies. However, some University officials believe that the Chancellor’s delay in finalizing the three president team may push the evaluation schedule further into the semester. Ketter was also scheduled to complete his “Statement of Stewardship” for the evaluators. This self-study, which for the first time will be a public document, has not yet been released accor.’ ng to an official in the President’s office. “The President is waiting for instructions from the Chancellor as to how he should go about releasing the statement,” she said. - —Garry Preneta NO LAUGHING MATTER: President Robert L.

' Gen Ed returns—only skills section set for approval by Kathleen approved by the Senate for Fall 1980. The meat of the program won’t be put to the Senate until its November 6 meeting. McDonough Managing Editor When the General Education The skills component was originally referred to as the basic skills proposal, to include Committee returns to Woldman Theater Tuesday to yield its program to the Faculty Senate’s scVutiny—scrutiny which dragged through a series of alternately fulh and heated sessions last Spring—it will not go in with the full package. Only the skills component, generally acknowledged as one of the most concrete portions of the program, will be discussed. The General Education Committee sprang from a national concern that colleges are producing graduates who increasingly focus their a math course and two writing courses. Based on conferences with the faculty at large, the Committee pointed to the view that students often arrive here unable to write coherently or perform simple math problems as a prime faculty Qoncern. But Hare explained that many equate the wool “basic” Committee Chairman Pater Hare education on technical 'Skills' most straightforward knowledge while sacrificing a six “broad based” background. task of relating the knowledge areas—a established Many considered UB, with its method of classifing courses lax distribution requirements, which led many to charge that to be particularly susceptible to the program was little more this narrowing. than a glorified distribution last After securing approval Spring to go ahead with what was deemed by many a controversial plan, the Committee had hoped to return to the Senate in October with many of the kinks ironed out—ready to implement Gen Ed for Fall 1980. But the deadline proved too pressing as the Committee sought not only to establish which courses would qualify and to set up standards on which to judge future courses, but also to wade through the questions of scheduling and funding. Over the summer, the Committee grappled with the with “remedial,”; so the name tqiCplfcge Skills. “Actually,” he said, “these are the skills you ought to have when you leave school.” Alt incoming freshmen will be required to take an examination for placement in a College Skills was changed component. They will then be designated at a certain level of ability—with the lowest assigned to remedial work in the system —to “themes.” The themes, ofen used as a defense from the criticism, were to be requirement. Straightforward? The Skills component emerged as the only section which could be completely prepared for the October meeting. Chairman of the Chronic underslaffing The level of math required' is roughly equivalent to third year high school math; the level of writing mandates the abiity to write well-organized papers. Tests given to a sample of freshmen over the summer developed into a mechanism for encouraging innovative, interdisciplinary courses. General Education Committee Peter Hare, appointed last May, noted that the Committee views “the skills part as by far the most straightforward” and the one which will be readily University Learning Center and the highest exempted from the indicate that only one-third would be exempted from requirement. Hare noted that, although the courses are already established at tho Udiversity,, staffing may. prove to be a problem. He said the English department has expressed confidence that it can handle the rush of studnets. The math department, however is afeedy overloaded with students. But since most freshmen already take the lower level math courses, the requirement is mot expected to pose too much of a burden. Library skills, to be included in one of the two writing courses, may be threatened by chronic understaffing in the libraries. Hare said. The Committee’s Task Force, assembled to study the practical problems im implementing the entire program, will' have garnered figures by midOctober on how enrollment will shift. The drastic shifts in enrollment are expected to come not with the skills component, but with the rest of the program—the knowledge areas and themes.

So somewhere in the exchange of energy between performer and audience rested the true spirit and the lasting importance of the event. It was there in its purest form when Jackson Browne, Graham Nash, Bonnie Raitt and John Hall stepped out on stage to present to this crowd a gift of the heart, a brilliant, emotion-choked version of Hall’s movement song “Power,” packing the slightly corny but irresistably simple message to Take All Your Atomic Poison Power Away. —continued on page 22- �Commentary 'Jw** Ivory to vinyl tower reduction of old dream . . . United Way/Support UB FOOTBALL Note: Howard Wotf is a full professor on the UB English departmentfaculty. He began teaching here in 1967. by Howard Wolf Saturday, Sept 29th Those of us who came to teach in a democratic, progressive, and enlightened State University of New York (Buffalo) bewcen 1963 and 1970—when the “old” private, basically local, and provincial University of Buffalo (UB) joined the “new 4 and invigorated State system (SUNY)—arc ’ now something like an endangered species. The idea of building a great university, critical in spirit and committed to its faculty in their diversity, even peculiarity, has been supplanted by the ethos of the trade school. A. vision of becoming a public Oxford (the inspiration of Martin Meyerson who abandoned our tear-gas ridden campus in 1969 for the Hall of Ivy) has given way to the notion of the University as a service station supplying local needs; to the idea of the university as an aggrandized employment agency. Our situation is typical and national* T,U'We’re now in the business of training Twin Fair Managers, more Hooker chemists (to superintend more Love Canals), airtl Pot Hole Control experts. These are the halcyon days here and across the land for the School of Managenjfnt.Natqral Sciences and Mathematics, and Engineering. How did we come to this reduced version of our larger dreani? Why has' the administration in Buffalo —an administration that came vindictively into power in a backlash after the collapse of the student movement—used the Proposition 13 mentality and recessionary trends of the I970’s to cater to a partially real, and, I hope, somewhat imagined constituency within the University to disable the humanitiesand the sodial-historical sciences? This vendetta against humane letters, Educational Studies, and the Social Sciences in favor of Management (the “salvationary” field of the 1970’$), Engineering, and the Natural Sciences is aimed both at satisfying Carey’s Division of the Budget (DOB) and bolstering support'for the sustained appointment of this University’s President, Robert L. Kettcr. The President and his staff are making use of our immediate past in doing this. They are trying to get those members of the faculty to hold the line who (recruited like them' mainly from the managerial-technocratic disciplines) were appaled by campus radicalism in the 1960’s, a radicalism that called into question the narrow careerism and governmental affiliations so cruical fo the funded life of the technocratic faculties; that called into question their alliance of academic, coiporate, military, and governmental interests: the joined intersts of America’s academic Power • V Elite. How does this work? The Vice President for Academic Affairs (VPAA), preparing to meet the expected pressures from the DOB, came up with a plan to move SUNY (Buffalo) as a whole to a faculty-student ratio of 17/1 by 1981. This arbitrary ratio put him in a position to do two things: to reduce facul4y lines and to reallocate faculty resources (lines and salaries) among the various and favored units of the University. His ratios put him in a position to make inroads upon Arts and Letters, Education, and the Social Sciences in order to strengthen the technical and vocational areas I’ve mentioned. His figures also made it possible for him both to cut faculty lines as a whole while adding where he chose. His fingers allowed hiih to cut 66 lines and add 19. This became possible by exacting a sacrifice of 39 lines from Arts and Tetters: By taking these 39 lines from Arts and Letters, a virtual bloodbath, was was geared up for Carey’s budget. The VPAA was getting ready in his plan for the imminent 1970-80 budget cuts and was projecting cuts for 1980-81. He was leading us to one slaughter and dressing us for the next. Carey’s actual budget cut only called finally for SUNY (Buffalo) to absorb 24 faculty line losses; he didn’t specify where cuts were to be itaade. Our administration, with its managerial-corporate goals and policies, with its preference for numbers over ideas, decided where the cuts were to be made. Arts and Letters was told to serve up 12 lines—one half the total Tor University^ the By coming up with his ratios, the VPAS was able easily, as I’ve demonstrated, to absorb the DOB requirements for 1979-80. The boys in the Vinyl Tower had come up with just the “short-fall” (Orwell, where arc you now?) in Arts and Letters that they needed. They knew they could meet a body count—i.c., “needed faculty adjustment on existing base.” The eradication of a distinction between Ivory Tower and “market” place that students and faculty dissidents wanted a decade ago is echoed by an administration (hostile then and now to radical reform) to justify sacrifice in the humantities in favor of “market”-able trades and skills. The President is playing the numbers best calculated for his “re-upping.” Whether the figures are accurate or not and whether we could generate different ones through different bookkeping methods are not the issues. The historic mission of the University has been reversed. Where once the sacred and liberal arts were to be protected in the 19th century against the incursion of materialism, applied science, and mercantilism, now it’s the technocratic and fiduciary sciences (skills?) that ask to be protected from andliterary disciplines.

The simple answer is, of course, money. The well is dry, we know this. We feel it in our paychecks and at the pump, but this doesn’t explain properly why decisions wkhinavailable budgets fall unfailingly against the Humanities. An unacceptable explanation lies in the method ofallocation: something like a Nielscn-rating approach (when it suits the administration) is used to count the student “market.” One Dean here actually talks about the “share” of the ’’market” his department ’’exports” to other departments. We think his metaphors arc mixed, but this substitution of viewers and commodities for students (with all that it implies about the connection of ideas to products) defines the fiscal Philistinism we’re up against. He argues for popularity, relevance, and instant gratifiction (the demographies and statistics of the moment) against value, balanced judgment, and a respect for the past. What we lack here at Buffalo and across the country is a serious debate about the meaning of the arts and humanities within the State University, an open inquiry (in the halls of the Legislature, Congress, Foundations, and, of course, universities themselves) into the long range meaning of budgetary assaults upon the Liberal Arts. Can we let the dictatesof today’s job market shape our judgements about the human resources we’ll need to go into the next century? What are the implications of preparing one graduate student to be a scholar of Chinese history and language against the training of 100 students to be accountants? It is more important to produce one humane book on Islamic influence on Western Culture or a guide to laying petroleum pipelines? Do these questions make any sense at all? Gan kind, quality, and style of learning in one field be compared with another along any simple . line of valuation? We’re at a critical point in our history here in Western New York, and we know it’s pretty much the same across the country.

The Federal Government is considering reopening the West Valley site “temporarily” which the Sierra Club reports could mean “10 to 15” years. 7. If reopened, the West Valley site could serve as a centralized storage facility for spent fuel from both U.S. and foreign reactors. 8. The West Valley rally’s success will greatly depend on the number of people protesting. New York City’s rally witnessed over 200,000 people.

Invitation to tour nuclear facility To the Editor: The Nuclear Science and Technology Facility (‘‘Nuclear Center”) of SUNY/Buffalo Invites the University community—students, faculty and staff members—to visit us for a guided tour of the Nuclear Facility. The Facility, located on your Main Street Campus, is the only major nuclear research laboratory within the entire SUNY system which is comparable to other nuclear reserach facilities at such major institutions as MIT, the University of Michigan, the National Bureau of Standards, etc. We have a superior reactor facility which is most suitable for certain types of material testing. A highly-placed Nucearl Regulatory Commission administrator very recently dubbed us “a national research tool.” The tour will show you why we are so highly regarded. In addition, we produce approximately 60 percent of the short-lived isotopes in this country, which are extensively used for medical (e.g., cancer) research, as well as other scientific and industrial tracer works at numerous hospitals and laboratories. The facility is also capable of performing activation analysis of various chemical elements which require utmost precision and senslvfty. We have a well-equipped carbon dating laboratory for archaeologicaal identification. We have been engaged in advanced nuclear safety studies In cooperation with the Faculty of Engineering and Applied Sciences. The facility works closely with various academic units on the campus, and offers many laboratory courses for both undergraduates and graduate students. Regardless of your personal area of ipterest, be it Music, Social Science, Liberal Arts, Management, Education, Medicine, Science or Engineering, we are certain that you will enjoy the tour and benefit from It. Due to our tight operation, however, we will need your prior registration for the planned guided tours, for the toal number of visitors at the weekly tour will be limited to 25. The date and time of the guided'tour wilt be announced regularly in The Spectrum. -(This semester’s first tour will be on Tuesday, October 2 at 4 p.m., as you will note from the Backpage section of this issue.) Those who are intersted in the tour may caJI 831-2826 for pre-registration. Various combinations of weekly dates and tour hours are planned for the future, to accomodate your individual convenience. See you at the Facility! Wan Y. Chon Director Plxaedrus by Robert Q. Basil Local journalists will tell you that Buffalo Is just an overgrown small town. The tripe they serve up over the airwaves and newsprint Is what our diminutive mentalities crave, they believe. It's almost an anemic cliche to deride the grabthe-reader-by-the-throat brand of journalism practiced by the two newspapers and three televisions stations in Buffalo. The media should be as verbally battered and criticized as possible, with the slim aspirations of wringing some improvement Into it. The establishment press wants us to know about singular acts of urban violence, fires, the official statements delivered by our conservative government. Recently, they wanted us to know about Stephanie, an easy but cheap story which undoubtedly ruined a host of lives. Stephanie is the shy twenty-one year old woman who found the body of the priest who was murdered downtown recently. A few days thereafter, she attempted suicide, overcome by the loss of her cherished friend, downing a dozen or so pills in a locfl motel. Although Stephanie was never even a remote suspect in the case, the local media showered her misfortune with glaring publicity, implying from her poignant suicide note that her relationship with the priest was lascivious and immoral. One WKBW Channel 7 TV reporter a posture of the hard-nosed no- nonsense Investigator, attempted to interview Stephanie’s parents; and they correctly refused. Undaunted in his “quest for the truth,” the reporter and an equally thirsty camera crew gathered the opinions of the family’s neighbors who reportedly described the family as “weird” and “reclusive." Since Stephanie In fact recovered from the overdose, she and her family must now deal with their reputations which the local papers and newscasts so gleefully tarnished, for no reason other than titillation That this story was not "news” was all the more pitiful because it’s all too typical. Instead of those of the aforedescribed nature the local media could shuck their blatant corporate interests and serve up some stories which, whether they believe It or not, really would affect their readers’ lives. They could start with the bank redlining scandal. Local banks have been accused by . reams of impressive evidence revealing discrimination against minorities and old Buffalo neighborhoods In deciding real estate loans. This racist, anti-Buffalo ideology ultimately and ludicrously deflates the city’s real estate market to abnormally low levels, allowing Buffalo's urban residences to decay even further. But since these banks amply advertise through our newspapers and TV, this story is out of the question. Not so incredible is another of the media’s stances, this time from the perspective of the intellectual community: their unwavering support of UB President Robert L. Ketter and his regime of doubletalk and paralysis. Student Association President Joel Mayersohn rightly condemns the CourierExpress' recent editorial endorsing Ketter’s quest to retain his office, lightly dismissing the student and faculty disapproval of him and the miserablyjBcademic rapport he generates with th<p reslL Ptfhe University community. Both papers soon thereafter ran slanted fluff pieces regarding Ketter’s State of the University address, stressing Ketter’s supposed “leadership” and "optimism.” Their opinions regarding the near 30,000 students here echo the sentiments of our ethnocentric anti-intellectual mayor, Jimmy Griffin, who said in an interview with The Spectrum last Spring that students should “forget activism” and “learn what it means to be a taxpayer.” Buffalo deserves much more. Newspapers in towns much smaller, like Boulder, Colorado and Wellesley, Massachusetts—and in cities of similar size, like Paio Alto and Omaha—all have far superior journals, put together from a well of resources no more fertile than what can be found In Buffalo. Our city, In fact, has a singularly large intellectual community, consisting of nearly 100,000 students and faculty plus thriving Fine Arts and music organizations, I propose that an ultimate goal of one of the three student newspapers should be citywide distribution, reaching an audience with a brand of intelligent reporting that the eleven o’clock news refuses to admit exists. A similar project has already met with some success in New York with the weekly Syracuse New Times. If Buffalonians have an inferiority complex, it must largely find Its roots in the power of th media which doggedly cultivates it. �' The Office of Admissions and Records announces: more fffrtyv feedback Can’t follow conscience I) Student Identification Cards: 1.

I agree with this advice, but find that It is not always possible to follow. There are instances when one Is forced to unjustly sacrifice his/her moral bqfiefs. The most obvious example at this University Is the forced payment for abortion coverage in the student health insurance plan. Students morally opposed to abortion are given no reasonable option. Comparable Insurance coverage elsewhere costs at least twice as much as the student plan. Last Spring, an optional plan was proposed wherein students with conscientious objections to could “optout” of that pail of their Insurance coverage which payed for abortions. The Insurance company handling the policy Insured students that such an optional plan would not raise the cost of abortion coverage for those who wanted It. Also, a campus-wide survey of student opinion revealed that 80 percent of the students here favor an optional plan. Despite these facts, Sub Board decided to reject the optional plan. Furthermore, I was Informed by SA President Joel Mayersohn that students who favored an option would not be appointed to Sub Board. Obviously, he Is allowing his own personal views to obstruct the democratic process. Certainly it would be a better university If students could maintain their own Individual stances and follow their consclencies. But the intolerance of our student decision-makers has denied these rights of conscience.

The bastard-child known as industry hype was born from this transmutation of the MUSIC business into the music BUSINESS. No longer is it possible for an artist expose the listening world to all the various exponents of Music and let them decide for themselves. The industry, on the other hand, has made the pool of musicians to pick from exclusive. Their vehicle is "free" radio. With prices rising, and cash becoming tighter, the majority of record buyers are forced into playing it saife with hopes of making a sound selection. The AM band has continually shaped up as a medium that prides itself on commercial success through a limited amount of music. Even today, the pricje and joy of local promotional people is to have one of their records added to WKBW's playlist. The problem is that FM radio 4s bent on changing their initial stance as an 'alternative" to programmed music by trying AM's profit- gathering formula of tightly structured playlists and promotional give-aways of the performers contained on the prime example cart before the of putting the horse. How can any logical, thinking person expect a person to call a radio station and request Sparks, Television or U-Roy when the only way these people will ever hear this music, and on this scanario, the notion of record I then perhaps we may see the extinction of "dinosaurs" in our time What follows are but a few of the latest “gazelles" that I've encountered. Realize that I've derived this dichotomy from the theories of musician Robert Fripp (creator of King Crimson). But remember, as I so strongly reiterate, although the voice is Fripp's, the choice is ours. The B-52's, The B-52's (Warner Bros.) submerged in the “rock" recording industry to carry out an idea from germination to fruition. This is not to imply that any artist has ever had total control of his work, especially on the leg from production to packaging. But on the other hand, the straight line processes of today's industry just continue from bad to worse for nothing short of the almighty dollar to move with respect Now the state ot the art has been relegated to a situation of whether an artist is viably marketable in the context of what is hot in the industry (a standard that is determined, for the most part, by the industry itself) rather than if the artist has arrived at a valid contribution that could fall within the continuum of music. What determines whether the artist is making a valid statement or not? Impossible to answer completely, due to the highly subjective nature of criticism. So, the industry says, how shall we determine what the buying populus will enjoy and thusly purchase? I would tend to believe that to do the process of creation justice, one would have to playlist. And the promotion comes derectly from the record companies. So with much of radio meeting in the middle, and its accessibility underlining musical trends, you find a situation of a lot of people listening to the same thing. Back to the primary issue of money. I once heard a local talk show host, in response to questions of why his station was not playing this one and that one, explain that his station's decision to play certain songs came out of a combination of record sales statistics and the most requested songs from their listening audience. Alas, a sales becomes a bogus platform from which to launch an argument. With the whole situation being one of the chicken and the egg, I formed Gazelles and Dinosaurs as a written alternative to the aural failure of radio. But knowing that one language may only approximate the other, I from Planet Claire/I knew she came from there/She drove a Plymouth Satellite/Faster than the speed of light.

In such a manner, our world is continually overreaching its own boundaries, as set by language and the five senses. By speaking in "images of somewhat on earth," Man is brought into closer communication with his outer environment, melding his own self-consciousness into that of a greater whole. Through metaphor, it is pPetry that serves to verbally extend and distribute this consciousness into the natural world. In his latest, This Tree Will Be Here for a Thousand Years (Harper and Row), poet Robert Bly presents u« with a series of crystalline visions that embody this very process. Through an examination WILL BE HERE / turn and go west—tracks, pushed deep! I am walking with an immense deer. He, passed three days ago. FORA THOUSAND YEARS By traveling into the natural realm, Bly invokes ancient vegetative cycles of death and rebirth. Doing so, he affirms for himself a sense of continuity the Ancients must have felt with each change in season, each new year. Though it is Wintertime, the mood of this collection evokes the imminent rebirth of Spring. Seeking and having found renewal in nature, Bly uses this cyclic viewpoint to calm his fear of death By looking at a larger scale of existence and overcoming personal limitations, he is able, ib the face of nature's constant drama, to tone down the poignancy of his own end. Poems like “Fallen Tree," show there are many such lessons to learn: A cottonwood tree lies stretched out in the grass. This tree knocked down by lightning—and a hollow the owls made open now to the rain. Disasters are all right, if they teach men and POEMSBY , of his experiences, recorded during a recent winter reason at his farm, Bly seeks and finds an extension of self by tapping a consciousness which only objects may possess. The events in a lifetime are transitory, but the natural witnesses —the trees, the stones, the old grey barn, all endure as greedy receptacles of past experience. By integrating his own sense of human time with these natural objects, Bly overcomes, somewhat, the subject-object split. He works with a force that, like gravity, serves to bind the single elements in his works into a cohesive whole. Each of these elements, with its particular sense of time—and consider how differently the world looks to a rock or a tree —frees Bly to explore in a non-linear, extra-human fashion. For example, this from "A Long Walk Before the Snows Began": White sleet also in the black plowing. ROBERT BLY women to turn their hollow places up. Technically, Bly's style is quite impressive. One cannot deny the high degree of craft that went into the making of these poems, but the sparseness allows the reader to climb right inside and see the world through the poems' own eyes. The sometimes baffling simplicity of vision here clearly demonstrates the richness and depth of consciousness present. One is left with the feeling that nothing is out of place, every activity is thought out) each falling leaf worth contemplation. "Listening to a Cricket in the Wainscoting," singles out this function: That sound of his is like a boat with black sails. Or i widow under a redwood tree, warning passerby that the tree is about to fall. Or a bell made of black tin in a Mexican village. In the final analysis, it is not the writing that carries these poems so deep into the readers' minds, but the written about. The constancy of nature will always fascinate, will always lead one into different worlds. This is how the poems derive the energy that will keep them vivacious long after Bly —and ourselves—have returned to soil. In a few years we will die, yet the grass continues to lift itself into the horse's teeth, sharp harsh lines run through our bodies.

Rick Neilsen and Co. performed a typically outrageous, longer than usual, set of LOUD rockers that ran from their first disc ("Speak Now Or forever Hold Your Peace") through In Color ("Downed") and into a hearty cross-section of their latest album, Dream Police. Neilsen provided the majority of antics, which included everything from flinging guitar picks into the crowd to wearing three guitars at one time. Bun E.

Meanwhile, pretty boys Robin Zander and Tom Peterson made-younger nubiles in the audience coo with contentment Bordering between pleasing their larger, more recent allegience and. remaining true to theit primal unorthodox standards (although from of thecrowd, that which was unique fs becoming/Commonplace), Cheap Trick are surviving amidst the various subsets of the industry.

Steven N. Schwartz — Joe Jackson, Buffalo State Gym, September 18, 1979 It seemed incqnceivable that anyone could want to go right home and sleep after a Joe Jackson concert. The energy that Jackson and his band brought onstage at the Buffalo State College gym made me want to hop around for hours afterward —it was contagious. ■ Jackson may have looked sharp, but he sang sharper as he and his three-piece band punched out song after original song. Each tune was performed with intense vigor and perfect seriousness, so that Jackson really seemed to be working rather than having a good time The audience that half-filled the gym was young, and many looked* as though they has seized the opportunity to play "Let's Dress Up Punk." One particularly ignorant person heckled Joe with "if you wanna know about punk, come over here," which made me wonder how many other people there just didn't understand what they were seeing, or had come to see the wrong thing. Jackson is more middle class than punk, singing (albeit cyncially) about the working world in songs like "She Gets Paid On Friday," a particularly strong cut from his forthcoming album, and about very ordinary woes, like love. Talking to him later, though, Jackson was understanding about the "idiots" in the crowd, saying "there are people like that everywhere. The only problem with the audience is that they weren't crazy enough —I wished they'd jump around more." Jackson himself didn't just jump to let off excess energy—he ran bade and forth, failed his arms out at odd angles, and jerked like a pale turkey. Guitarist Cary Sanders paced the stage like a cat, his guitar wailed beautifully, to complete the r Moon MartinfThe A's, Stage 1, September 23,1979 Mqon Martin is one pf those great songwriters who has invaded the forefront of America's consciousness without anyone really knowing it.. Willy DeVille has romanticized his "Cadillac Walk" well enough, Robert Palmer sufficiently rocks out Moon's "Bad Case Of Loving You," so convincingly that many think it's Robert's” tune, and now Martin's "Roiene" can be heard crossing over both the AM and FM waves. No doubt Moon will win Don Kirschner's award for ".best new songwriter" well after his time At Stage 1 Sunday evening, it was hard to determine just what kind of crowds Martin has been facing on this tour. He certainly wasn't telling Although attendance was on the thin side, the crowd inhabited the dance floor in typical fashion, bringing a smile to Martin's country-boy face. Martin and the Ravens provided a balanced attack of hits from his albums (Shots Fjom A Cold Nightmare and Escape From Domination) as well as some choice Beatle standards. A fine guitarist in his own right, Martin's energy would only yield to the other lead guitarist; the two guitar approach holding the key to Moon's country-tinged .aggressiveness towards rock 'n' roll. Opening were Philadelphia rockers. The A's. Following up on their recent successful appearance at the Buff State Coodtime Festival, The A's turned in a considerably strong set of very teenage power pop, including "Words" and "Grounded." Tim Switala — Dexter Cordon, Tralfamadore Cafe, September 23, 1979 My father used to spin tales about Dexter Gordon's hard-blowing tenor sound, and how that tenor sound influenced many later greats, among them John Coltrane. Dexter was right up there (with Diz, Bird, Monk, etc.) in the 40's, one of the Young Turks of the Bop who reminded us all where jazz comes from, and why—despite so many strategically placed setbacks—it continues to go around. Come the 1960's; a debut album by a sparkling CJot Lice... if vjou want i( - One of the best efforts of the vening was "One More Time," from Look Sharp. Jackson throttled the jnike as he sang it, seemingly to a woman who had ,Jeft him only minutes before, spitting out the words with such a bitter vengeance that it was almost frightening Several selections from the new album, I'm The Man, due out in the States October 10, were performed, most of, them rockers with the catchy hooks and lyrics necessary to make them a success.-Jacksong mentioned, both during the show and afterwards, that he thinks this album is definitely better than the first—which is saying it's pretty damn good. From what Jackson presented us with Tuesday evening, he may well be right —and he'll prove to be much more than a fleeting star. Pat Carrington * I I , up. I So you think that I'm going to give you the rap that Cheap Trick has gone commercial, hmmm? new piantist named Herbie Hancock turned out to be the last U S recording'date that Dexter would participate in for a long time. The reasons? Basics of music ihdustry survival which tend to place the supposed products of the industry far below the means which are used to get there. Too many, upon reaching the top, neve make it. Others—like Dexter—shun the assembly line, choose to do more than survive, and strive to discover the nature of what they create. The deeper value. For Dexter, it was a decade plus in Europe before he was "rediscovered"; that is, when the critical powersthat-be in his native land discovered just what they blew. The 1970's A time to continue, to bring the Music bursting into the open. A time for the unafraid to get their story told, and the timid to get bold. Music, infinite in its reaches, found its very versatility threatened by cheap thrillseekers who. preferred to use cliches as badges of a cSttimon consciousness that was hardly cared about by such manipulators (or touched upon by such manipulative efforts). It was high time for all Music to re-affirm, as Music must always do, and move fully. Hiding places would not do. Dexter Cordon came home. As his recent return to the Tralfamadore Cafe has shown, Dexter is still blowing hard, still the gladiator ready to take you on with a smile. His tenor approach is not the agility of, say, a panther, rather, his is the limber power of the bear —a hard straight-on sound which can bowl you over on a romp, or snatch you up cleanly in the firm grip of His appearance is quite formidible. Six foot five, and able to slide it wide into a funky hipshaker in between solos, or lurch into coolster poses at each tune's climax. It goes deeper, however, than jive. For instance, Dexter's chivalrous gesture of holding the horn out across both hands (whenever he bowed to the audience) resembled the African naming ritual witnessed in Roots, where the father holds the babe Up to the heavens and reveals the babe's identity for all Creation to witness: Dexter puts himself on the line every time, and usually with gratifying results. By the time Sunday (final night at the Tralfamadore) came around, his quartet was ready to roam. One qf the tightest ensembles ever heard in this town, it consisted on pianist Curt Lightsey, bassist Rufus Reid, drummer Eddie Gladden, and Dexter Reid has worked with Dexter since the latter's 1977 Sophisticated Giant IP, and has a mighty reach that strolls firmly into cello and viola sonorities as well as the foundation-laying bottom sounds associated with his own instrument. Lightsey's is a scampering, Tatumesque-glistening mastery that lives up to his name. Gladden is snapaction wrists and riproaring dring backed with iron muscle and quick wit, one of the greatest drummers around. With elements of speed, strength, and agility coming together under the helm of the resilient tenorman, the quartet was ready to turn the Cafe inside out. They did so to the joy of everyone there. It was the classic "Body and Soul" that provided the night's most shining moment. A challenge especially for tenor players (from Coleman Hawkins to Coltrane. David Murray, and on), the sumptuous curves of the renowned balled provided the ultimate test of Dexter Cordon's powers. Blut in his warmth, as pliant and imutable as fertile soil, the tenorman probed the open bloom of the theme with a fragrance many would claim him not to have. A giant sheds a tear.

Cocola partially lies with Alan J. Pakula, co-producer and director, and more specifically with James L. Brooks, the other producer and scriptwriter Pakula and Brooks won't allow the audience an opportunity to truly explore any character, especially Neil's. Indeed, the comedy is poor, and the stereotypes are even more disgusting After his break-up, Neil is shipped off to a divorced men's counselling session which resembles something out of the defunct Bob Newhart Show. There's a classroom scene where Neil teaches. On his desk is a shiny red apple Imagine giving one of your professors an apple! Not even high school teachers receive this outdated treatment Neil Potter (Burt Reynolds) and his ex-wife Jessica(Candice Bergen) are in a supermarket Neil wants Columbian coffee, but Jessica wants Costa Rican coffee Neil says he won't drink Costa Rican coffee because he doesn't even know where Costa Rica is. They buy Columbian. The scene continues as the two amble through the supermarket. They are trying to figure out what went wrong with their marriage As their conversation reaches its pinnacle, a stockboy informs Neil that Costa Rica is bordered by Panama. This is the problem with Starting Over, a movie featuring Burt Reynolds, Candice Bergen and Jill Clayburgh. Starting Over has the potential to be a sensitive production: it deals with the anymore The acting ts below par After seeing The End and The Longest Yard, I know Burt Reynolds is capable of good comedy. In Starting Over, he seems helplessly and understandably lost throughout the entire movie Reynolds, like the script, doesn't know whether to act serious or silly, and when he decides to be funny, his timing is painfully late Candice Bergen looks like a recent graduate of the Farrah Fawcett school of acting; she utters no more than ten words at at time, and her wardrobe consists solely of tacky seethrough blouses and disco slacks. problems of a broken marriage from the male's point of view. The problem with Starting Over however, is that the comedy doesn't compliment the plot but interrupts it. Serious or silly? There are other examples. After making love with his girlfriend Marilyn (Jill Clayburgh), Neil wakes up for another day of teaching at a junior college. Marilyn awakes shortly afterwards, and feels she was the victim of a one-nighter. She chases after Neil to protest, and Neil tells her that he is merely going to work, and indeed will call her again. Marilyn feels rejoiced —<o rejoiced that when she cries, an embarrassing accumulation of snot escapes from her nose. Once again, a potentially beautiful and significant scene interrupted by a vulgar, mis-timed comedic act. The fault with this movie | Jill Hoping for something to happen The movie ends in fine comedic Shakespearean tradition with plans for a nuptial that should solve all problems, but the aftertaste of bad timing ruins any chances of the audience being in a festive mood. Instead, the audience realizes that Neil Potter was confronted with a series of insignificant stereotypes, like the counseling sessions, a "concerned" older brother and sister-in-law (played effortlessly by Charles Doming and Frances Sternhagen, respectively), and a horny divorcee (played without any insight by Mary Kay Place). Unless you think Burt Reynolds or Jill Clayburgh alone can redeem a movie, there's little to this movie. Clayburgh's performance is the only redeeming factor in the entire movie. Except for the aforementioned scene, her sense of comedic timing is brilliant, and Ms. Clayburgh proves once again she is the hottest young actreess in (Hollywood, save for Jane Fonda and Merryl Streep.

It summarizes the disappointment that one Jewish leader feels in one of his Black colleagues' statements as a result of—and party to—the events surrounding Andrew - Young’s resignation. This letter was brought to my attention by a civil rights activist, Rabbi Dr. Joseph Herzog, spiritual leader of Temple Sinai in Amherst and 1979-80 Jewish Chautauqua Society Visiting Lecturer in Modern Jewish History on the faculty of the Judaic Studies Program. I felt that readers who have followed the AsanteSchwartz-Dreyfuss contributions in recent editions of The Spectrum and have read or listened to the news media reporting of these events would be interested in Mr. Zuckoff’s ideas. Samuel M. Paley Director of the Jbwish Studies Program Focus on Issues Open Letter by Murray Zuckoff, JTA Editor New York, Aug. 27 (JTA)—As one who participated in numerous civil rights demonstrations and marches I read with sorrow and with pain your statement to some 6000 delegates and visitors at the annual convention of the Delta Sigma Theta in New Orleans a few days after Andrew Young resigned as U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations. In your address as president of that predominantly Black sorority organization you said, in part; "We have been patient and forbearing in their (Jews) masquerading as friends under the pretense of working for the common purpose of civil rights. This latest affront reveals clearly that their loyalties are not compatible with the struggle of Black Americans more feedback for equal opportunity, under the law. Indeed, we question whether their loyalties are first to the State of Israel or to the United States. The loyalties of Black Americans have never been questioned.” I decided to write this letter to you because you were the first, so far as I can gather, to articulate a feeling that apparently had lain dormant until Young’s resignation but which subsequently found voice among several other Black leaders. I suspect that the fact that you and other Black leaders were so quick to question the motives and loyalties of "many” American Jews was because this thought was repressed, at least in terms qf public statements, until a suitable excuse could be found to let it “all hang out.” In all candor I strongly feel that you and other Black leaders used, yes, used, Young's resignation to release repressed hostility toward American Jewish leaders and Jewish organizations for real or imaginary grievances. The allegation of dual or prior loyalties is an old canard unworthy of your position as an educator. I don’t recall that at any time during the civil rights struggle any Jew fighting alongside Black brothers and sisters was asked to sign a loyalty oath or to take a sincere-o-meter test before taking up a position on a picket line or participating in marches, or being beaten or arrested, or killed—as were the Michaei Schwerners, along with the Medgar Evers. An Unfortunate Consequence One of the unfortunate consequences of discussing contributions by Jews to the civil rights movement under the conditions of trying to dispel allegations such as the ones you have raised is that it frequently tends to degenerate into a haggle on the part of both Blacks and Jews, each side fully equipped with a ledger of who did what, where, when and for whom. But the civil rights struggle was never reducible to a line item in a bookkeeping ledger or a promissory note of eternal unity by either side for deeds done. The contributions made by Jews were not in the form of saleable commodities to be bought when needed or returned for credit, nor were they people which could conceived as debts to the be stamped "cancelled” at an arbitrary moment. No, the contributions of Jews to the civil rights movement are chapters in the annals of American history that cannot be obliterated by glib allegations about suspect motives and dual loyalties. Let's have done with the approach of the accountant’s ledger. Neither Blacks nor Jews can rest on their Initial capital forever. It’s time to reinvest in the ongoing and as yet unconcluded struggle for civil rights. The Nature of Alliances But to accomplish that, the air must be cleared of allegations, suspicions and rancor. So let’s get back to your statement that the Jews masqueraded as friends. I totally reject this allegation. I believe that you misunderstood the natui$ of alliances and coalitions, and it’s a falsification of the relationship that existed between Jews and Blacks in the civil rights movement. Jews and Blacks in the built an alliance and a broad-based coalition. But both alliances and coalitions are limited to specific Issue? at specific times for the purpose of pursuing a common cause. Coalition partners do not have to agree with every nuance or statement made by those on whose behalf the coalition or alliance is constructed. Otherwise it would be a merger or a fusion of diverse elements rather than a unity of diverse but linked elements. It was to the interest of the Blacks to seek and accept Jewish support, and support in the general white community, because they could not go it alone, just as Jews need allies and alliances because they too cannot go it alone. When Black-White unity began to dissolve,. Black militants resorted to the desperate tactic of “burn, babv, burn” and the "long hot summers” ensued. The*lssue of Loyalty But be that as it may. Your charge of dual or prior loyalty to the State of Israel or to the United States is sheer subterfuge and unfortunately on a par with many hate groups that also question the loyalties of Jews, and of Blacks and of all other minority groups. This is the wrong company for a Black leader to find herself in. Why should you question the loyalty or the priority of loyalties of Jews? Would you question the loyalty of Catholic Americans who look toward the Vatican for spiritual guidance? Would you question the loyalty of Moslem Americans who look toward Mecca? Would you question the loyalty of Black Muslims who swear fidelity to Mohammed? Would you question the loyalty of those Blacks wbo support African liberation movements. Mayor Richard Hatcher of Gary, Ind. also called into question the loyalty of Jews when he told a Black leadership conference In New York last week that he rejects “the notion that any foreign power should dictate the foreign policies of the United States.” The point here, it seems to me, is that the term "foreign power," in the context of his remarks, is a code word for Israel and that American Jews and friends of Israel are thereby suspect If they dare question American policy toward Israel. Would Hatcher say the same about the Palestine Liberation Organization which is demanding that the U.S. change its official policy toward that group? Would he question America’s NATO allies who seek to determine or redirect U.S. foreign policy on various trade and arms issues? Would he question the Soviet Union which seeks to dictate U.S. foreign policy? Would he question any of the friends of all the above and other Interest groups to sway American foreign policy? Would he question the loyalty of those Black Americans who seek to determine U.S. policy toward Black Africa? As to your assertion that the loyalty of American Blacks was never questioned, I agree. Of course the 'loyalty of Black Americans was never questioned: not by the lynch mobs, not by the Ku Klux Klan, not by the segregationists, not by the goons who busted Black workers trying to organize unions, not by the hate mongers. Nor was Black loyalty questioned by the local cops and the FBI who tailed and surveilled, arrested and killed, and forced into silence and exile so many militant Black leaders and spokesmen. No, the loyalty of Black Americans was never questioned, just their right to live as human beings, DISCO DANCE CLASSES STUDIOS THE RHYTHM DANCE corner Norwalk 1444 Hertel Avenue - LEARN the 3 Count, New York & Latin Hustles! 10 WEEKS $25 PER PERSON 5 WEEKS $15 PER PERSON - ' MEET for one hour per week from Mon. thru Fri.

Aside from fundamentally different assessments of that organization—the Jewish people and Israel see it as a pure and simple terrorist outfit while some Black leaders see it as the vanguard of the Palestinian people—the issue for Israel and the Jewish people has never been one of talking or not talking to the PLO. The fact is that the PLO has “talked” to Israel and the Jewish people and to many non-Jews—but from behind the barrel of a submachine gun, a hand grenade, a bomb, and a Kalichnikoff rifle. How does one, whose life is ebbing away in a kibbutz, at Avavim, or in the center of Kiryat Shemona or Jerusalem, or on a lonely beach near a highway between Haifa and Tel Aviv, or on a hijacked airliner, talk to a person who has committed this atrocity, this barbarism, this act of unspeakable violence? How many Black Americans spoke to racist clubwielding goons? How many Black Americans thought of talking to the killers of Medgar Evers? How many Black Americans engaged in a dialogue with the murderers who snuffed out the lives of the young children In a church In Birmingham, Alabama? And—how many Jews asked Black Americans to talk to any of these racists and murderers? Unique Nature of PLO Terrorism The fact is that the PLO is unique as a terrorist organization. No other' group that espoused individual terrorism as a method of overthrowing an oppressive regime, no other group that employed terrorism under extreme' conditions such as the underground movements in Europedurlng World War II, ever engaged in killing unarmed children, men and women, including non-Jews who happen to be boarding or on a plane that Is hijacked. The fact is that the PLO uses terrorism not because It is the vanguard of the Palestinian people but because it has no base or broad support among them. The PLO engages in acts of terrorism as a substitute for mass action and as a substitute for an authentic expression of the real needs of the Palestinian people. The PLO is not an organizing force among the Palestinian people. Rather, it seeks to usurp all power for itself. This Is the opposite of the civil rights Black leadership which mobilized and inspired people on all levels. There is no recorded authenticated instant where Black leaders engaged In terrorist assaults even upon their most vicious opponents, incidentally, I don't recall any Palestinians on civil rights marches or demonstrations, nor do I recall any leaders of the PLO expressing solidarity with current Black struggles and objectives in the United States. Danger of Invovlement With the PLO The danger in getting Involved with the PLO—a foreign power—Is that those doing so are getting Involved in a cause which is not their own, methods and traditions of struggle not their own, and objectives not their own. It might be well, In this regard, to recall the statement by Eldridge Cleaver in his tract, “On the ideology of the Black Panther Party”: “For too long Black people have relied on the analysis and There are those ideological perspective of others who are all too willing to do our thinking for us, even if It gets us killed. However, they are not willing to follow through and do our dying for us. If thoughts bring about our deaths, let them at least be our own thoughts, so that we wilt have broken, once and for all, with the flunkyism of dying for every cause and every error—except our own." Those were fiery, .passionate words, and I say, Right On. But right on with Blacks and Jews in solidarity for a cause that has not yet been achieved, for a cause whose day is ripe, for a cause that will enrich both Jews and Blacks by making democracy more vital. Blacks and Jews need each other to attain this goal. So let's get on with it for the sake of preventing the “fire next time” that may engulf both of us. ...

You hear it all the time as an explanation for why as prices get higher and higher, we seem to get less and less. In conjunction with the phrase, "In the good old days...,” I’ve heard colintless recollections from those of an older vintage, of bars where for the cost of a 5-cent draught came a lunch with everything from pickled hard boiled eggs to a sandwich that would made Dagwood Bumstead your fairy tales can come true at TQIP’s. This is ingenuity I mentioned where the earlier comes in.' By the end of the summer of intensive research at the hors d’oeuvres table, my friends and I discovered hop to beat the system and keep our wallets In tact. You too can eat at TGIF’s for free by following these simple guildellhes. First of all, from the moment you enter the Jealous. Exaggeration? Well maybe, but in the midst of rising food costs, there are very few bars or restaurants in Buffalo (or anywhere else, for that matter) that offer their patrons something for nothing. Yeah, there’s free popcorn at places like Slomba's and Ray’s Antique Tavern. Free peanuts and silent movies at the Ground Round. (You can even throw your peanut shells on the floor—What better way to liberate your libido???). If you’re lucky, you might even catch Scotch and Sirloin on a day when they have cheese and crackers. Nice frills, but nothing you can really sink your teeth into'. What’s an impoverished student to do??? (Besides go on food stamps ...) Students of UB:, take heart. In a world that seems void of an alternative to a pet food diet, comes TGIF’s (835-6000), a restaurant/bar located in the Boulevard Mall. They have a daily hot hors d’oeuvres table from 4:30—6 p.m. Not quite a free lunch, but with a little nerve and cheap-minded ingenuity, it’s the closest thing to a free dinner you’ll find in suburban Buffalo. (Of course, those of you who prefer the elegance of downtown dining might be able to find a similar “deal” at the Mission Society Soup Line.) At TGIF’s, for the cost of a drink or two, you can treat yourself to unlimited amounts of chicken wings, tacos, meatballs, cocktail franks, cold cuts, or fried shrimp. The menu changes daily and the main dish is usually accompanied ;by platters of cheese, fresh vegetables, and dips. Dally drink specials feature exotic concoctions like banana banshi for $1.50 or less. The food is good, the service is usually crummy (but you don’t have to worry, the hors d’oeuvers are selfservice) and the decor is great. So okay, to the average person, free food while you eat probably sounds like a pretty good deal. Right? If however, you’re truly cheap-at-heart. * front door, look confident. Many an aspiring skinflint has blown a good opportunity to save money by having a guilty look on their face. Don’t be paranoid, you’re really the only person who knows you are trying to rip them off. Also limit your group size to two or three people. The fewer people, the less conspicuous you will actually be. Once you’re in, make a beeline for the bar and seat yourself at the small table next to it. This is the only spot in the whole restaurant that is unattended by both waiters and bartenders, so you don’t even have to buy a drink. Most importantly, it’s the closest you can get to the food. If you make it this far, you’re home free. Grab a plate and start porking down the delicacies of the day without any Interruption from the establishment. If you are a novice tightwad, you’ll probably feel very guilty eating for nothing. While this might interfere with the workings of your digestive system during your first or second trip to the hors d'oeuvres table, fear not... The guilt will fade when you leave with both your belly and wallet full. What do you do if you get thirsty? The bartenders are very agreeable if you request a glass of water from them. If you feel brave and have the proper equipment, a tight pair of pants for the females and a well-placed earring on the left earlobe for the males have yielded free drinks for others in the past ahd might also work for you. If all else fails, bring your own dixie cups and make frequent trips to the rest rooms. (Don’t be surprised if the men’s room seems reminiscent of a subway car.) Both TQIF’s and the Boulevard Mall are located on Niagara Falls Blvd. and are easily accessible by car. You can save extra oney and gas by taking an ever-faithful Bluebird on one of its mall runs. (Check a campus bus schedule for exact times.)

Fighting back I also feel that socially responsive individuals To the Editor: I wish to applaud The Spectrum's editorial board for adopting a policy not to accept racist, sexist, or otherwise "blatantly offensive" advertisements. I have long felt that the impropriety of censorship becomes an issue only when political authorities seek to interfere with free speech, because the First Amendment’s primary raison d’etre is to insure that the people can criticize and change their government. However, just as no publication should be prohibited by law from printing a sexist ad, so should no editor feel obliged, legally or morally, to do so, any more than he should be required to present any and all political views in his editorial. must realize that our freedoms do not exist in an egalitarian vacuum, but are often exploited in an oppressive society for the benefit of the relatively powerful: Caucasians, males, heterosexuals, etc. The liberal view that indiscriminate freedom of expression is the ultimate good serves largely to maintain the status quo, in the case of the Rootie’s ad, the idea that women are objects only for men’s libidinous gratification. As a feminist, I believe that, in the end, no one will obtain his or her human rights and dignity without standing up and fighting for them; nevertheless,' The Spectrum is to be commended if it makes the struggle a little easier. B. Lynn Wagner v Misunderstanding? To the Editor: Kathleen McDonough's coverage in The Spectrum last Friday on my discussion on student recruiting before the Faculty Senate Executive Committee last week came as a complete surprise to me. If I were aware that a reporter will be present, I would have prepared my discussion and defined my terms more carefully. Since Ms. McDonough's interpretation of my terms are different from mine, I believe it beneficial for all parties concerned If I state what I mean by the terms “image” and “we eat It.” Ms. McDonough reported correctly that I urge “some positive Images” be developed for our socialization and academic programs to be used to attract students here. What I mean by “positive image” is that each group responsible for programs in UB work to: (1) develop explicitly for their program(s), (2) scopefs) and determine the program content(s) that are necessary to achieve the objective(s), (3) implement the program(s) In practice and (4) and content(s) of communicate the the program(s) to prospective students to attract them. Incfdentlally, I believe this should be done continuously on all programs whether or not UB is under enrollment pressure because in this manner, the faculty, administrators and staff as a group in UB can understand both the educational and the personal needs of students, and develop explicit ways and means to meet these needs at all time. On the term “we eat It,” I regret I did not choose to explain my position more carefully. What I mean is that when a program cannot attract students after the best possible development, UB faculty and administrators can choose among these alternatives: (1) maintain the program at the current level using resources generated elsewhere in the University, (2) maintain the program at a reduced level or (3) abolish K. Faculty and administrators in making these decisions should, of course, consider the traditions of universities in general and this University in particular. However, personally, I would not consider as the only factor. After all, if we stick tradition exactlyto the Oxbridge traditiorv interms of the programs offered, UB would probably be a University of only about a few thousand students with perhaps about the number of facility members in the low hundreds. I also want to report a statement I made inVny discussion which Ms. McDondUgh chooses not report. The various solutions I suggested that UB may use to attack the enrollment problems represent only the current thinking of some members of the University Committee of Operational Processes and not the preliminary recommendations of the Committee Itself. As Chairman, I choose to discuss these half-baked solutions with the Faculty Senate Executive Committee because I felt the Faculty.should be informed on how the Committee chooses to approach these important problems and processes and on what the broad thrust of thinking of the Committee on possible solutions are. Further, I believe the Faculty should be given a chance to voice their opinions to affect the Committee’s recommendations. (For your information, both Joe Mayorsohn [sic] and Joyce Finn are members of the Committee. Further, a Task Force on Student Opinions is an explicit part of the Committee. Thus, students are given opportunities to send their opinions to tfie Committee also.) Indeed, for this reason, I am also meeting with the Professional Senate Executive Committee this week. In spite of the possible misunderstandings created by Ms. McDonough’s report, I am grateful for The Spectrum’s coverage of this matter. The Committee needs a lot of help from all members of the University (i.e., students, faculty, and administrators), on defining the problems and on finding innovative solutions. We must come together if the University is to move forward in this increasingly competitive environment. ~ j:J;k <mm A m Frank C.

Students have the chance—through International College (IC)—to interact with other students from at least 25 foreign countries. International College, located in Ellicott’s Red Jacket Quad, is an organTzation that invites students of foreign countries to interact socially and culturally. Joseph Williams—one of IQ’s three executive committee members—said,, “It is a reciprocal process in that foreign students have an outlet for cultural and social interaction as they face the transition to a new educational and cultural setting. American students are associating with foreign students and have the opportunity to be exposed to different cultural values and lifestyles and are also able to gain new understandings about themselves and other cultures.” Master needed International college’s •budget—$22,000 last year—has been cut to $17,000, a 20 representing percent slash.

To this day, they lack either suspect or motive in the slaying. “We haven’t got enough evidence to solve the case now,” admitted Evans Detective Norm Boergers. “I’m not saying that it will never be solved because we are confident that it will be eventually.” Professor Clifton’s body was discovered on an isolated lake shore beach in the town of Evans, approximately thirty miles south of Buffalo. He had been stabbed 29 times, sustaining blows to his chest, back, neck and arms. Both of the professor’s lungs were punctured in the attack. Boergers said that the police have had many leads . KSSZMKjWZ Buffalo Philharmonic / but “nothing substantial pointing in any one direction.”* They have nothing more than circumstantial evidence on the case—defined by Boergers "not hard, tangible evidence placing any one particular person at a scene.” He indicated, “unless something else comes up, we won’t be able to do anything.” Evans Center Police Chief William Joyce said the gray foreign car that witnesses saw leaving the murder site was found at Clifton’s home in the town ofBoston. The nature of the dark stains within it could not be determined and the car was impounded. Clifton, 48, who taught music theory for two years at UB and previously at Yale University, is survived by his wife Elisabeth, and seventeen-year-old son.

Lately, they had put most of their energies into it—Browne had done nothing but benefits the entire year, Hall’s latest albums was dedicated to the anti-nuclear issue and he and Raitt had volunteered to sit on the foundation board which will distribute the money raised from the event. They were in the purest sense of the word, dedicated. Now, here it was coming together for them in the place where they all lived life’s truest moments, the stage. The thrill of seeing an idea that started so quietly come to life so brilliantly rushed from their voices, mixing with the elusive entropy of the crowd. They sang their guts out for this song, this theme of a movement of which they were now a crucial part. Musicians United for Safe Energy (MUSE) was really these four performers and the song “Power” and of course the audience, which is what the music’s always been about. Because it was billed as a rally, there needed to be something more, speakers like Ralph Nader and Barry Commoner and dutiful exhortations to Get Involved In The Political Process.

Hence, they came. As the resilient Bella Abzug told them; life required it. Sand castles Two hundred rows back, where the island of Manhattan began to tip-toe into the Hudson, they were standing at attention, swaying to this easy melody, the armies of the afternoon before the closest thing they had to true leaders, sharing the closest thing they had to true culture and wondering—maybe dreaming—about this closest thing they had to a true movement. In the greyish sand that had been dumped there to make way for the World Trade Center, children of one innocence made castles and dug trenches while those of another smoothed out the crude sandy replica of a nuclear power plant they had shaped and then solemnly labelled: “Killer Of People.” Four hippie? (there was nothing else to call them) sat crosslegged in the sand and encircled arms, bowing their heads toward the center and chanting in unison while others stepped wordlessly around them, strangers to the tiny world they had cut from the crowd. Some of them knew pleasure, Jackson Browne said, some of them knew pain. And to some of them it was only the moment thaf mattered. Yet, somewhere m thechill of the moment was the message they had come to receive. It was there when David Crosby,-Graham Nash and Stephen Sills walked calmly out, the three performers who embodied the very spirit that by its absence had come to characterize the generation standing before them. There has always been some magic in the harmonies of these three and though their voices were rough and the sound system only rougher, the magic was there as Nash bounced out the opening chords of “Teach Your Children,” There it was, something so utterly convincing in the crowd of 200,000 singing a song just as they’d heard it in much lonelier moments, repeating it note-for-note, taking command as the performers thrust their mikes toward them in an invitation to unison of generational conflict. The spirit in which the song been written and first was performed eithetr dead or dreamwork, but the magic, whatever it was that made rock music the quintessence of white American youth, whatever it was that could give so many their deepest thrills—deeper, sometimes, than love, se*, or drugs—that was- still there, yes, it could be handed down, it could be preserved in throwaway America, it could be and was kept alive despite all that might kill it, It, more than anything else, was the modern link Jiad v.

The results of a random survey of students recently conducted in Squire Hall have indicated that there are not many people whose palates favor the creamy dairy product. Yet the advent of frozen yogurt and yogurt delis that are popping up everywhere might lead one to believe that a majority of people are absolutely wild about the culture. Of those who dislike yogurt, some said they avoid it because it “leaves an after taste” or that it was “too tangy” and “tasted like sour milk.” One student said she wouldn’t eat yogurt because it actually made her “gag.” Whatever the reasons why some hate it—there are those who simply love yogurt and appreciate its smooth taste and high nutritional value. The enthusiasts encourage those that are less charmed by yogurt to keep eating it, contending that “it just sneaks up on you and one day you’ll say ‘hey, 1 really like this stuff,” The discovery of yogurt is believed to be purely accidental. Ove( four thousand years ago. Eastern Europeans stored milk in animal skin bags for nourishment on long sojourns.

Many arm-chair gourmets are under the impression that preparing homemade yogurt' will be a colossal undertaking. Actually, nothing that is needed to make yogurt is expensive. Making homemade yogurt guarantees the fresh, all natural wholesomeness many want in a yogurt product—and there is an extra plus in making your own. If there happens to be a flavor which manufacturers haven’t put on the market yet, you can create all the crazy combinations you’ve always wanted to try. The sky is the limit. Many yogurt-eaters enjoy the culture because of its natural goodness. Those tired of eating yogurt might enjoy it more if they considered some of the variations suggested during interviews with students. One student said he uses yogurt as a chip dip sometimes. Another said that yogurt, a banana, some almonds and a little milk blended together creates a great ‘smoothie’. ‘‘And if you are an active person with tittle time to stop to cat, it can carry you through the whole day,” said student Phil Pinto. Besides eating it out of a container, you can mix yogurt with honey and make a facial beauty mask. The Yogurt Book by Carl Berman includes many other original alternatives. After a wild and crazy night of drinking the suds or too much vino, you rjn use yogurt to relieve an upset stomach, the book 7 Roy Roddgwz i —A Solso Sensation For The Fal l Season states.. V Berman also suggests mixing olive oil and yogurt for an excellent hair condition, and for those without hair, rub yogurt into the scalp to cure baldness. Evidently the possibilities of what a person can do with a pint of yogurt arc practically limitless. No wonder some are touting it as the culture of the seventies. t | ) | * — YOM KIPPOR “to seal the blessing for good” KOL NIDRE...Sunday Sept 30 7:30 pm am Morning Serviccs...Mon Oct 1 9:30 Join Us At The Chabad House 3292 Main St. 2501 North Forest Rd Bridge (Just over the El licott Creek Dorms) opposite the Wilkeson-Spaulding FAS THE ALL WELCOME AT THE “BREAK Service Meilah Meal Monday,at 8 pm after on Shabbos Yom Kippur with Chabad - Get up for most important of the year 10 am at TONIGHT 7 pm.

For information coll 831-5510 sponsored by PODER i C -i- �s Held hockey Royals finally victorious-defeat UR 4-1 ROCHESTER—An aggressive forward line carried UB’s field hockey team to its' first victory of the season Tuesday —defeating on the University of Rochester 4-1 to raise the Royals’ record to 1-3. “There are going to be many more wins,” coach Betty Dimmick enthusiastically predicted after watching ller Royals outhustle the opponent throughout the match. “Once that attacking player knows what it feels like to score those goals, then she’s going to want it again.” The coach’s statement was emphatically supported by Vicky Jackson, who contributed to the Rochester wipeout with a goal (her third of the season in only four games) and an assist. “We’re looking forward to a fantastic season,” the cocaptain claimed. Holly Helfrich, Buffalo’s other cocaptain, was more reluctant to talk of future victories. Sl\e instead commented on the Royals’ performance, “It was a team effort.” UB’s first goal was set up by defensive standout Gabi Gray. Although she didn’t score, she initiated the sequence that enabled Vicky Jackson to score on breakaway midway through the first half. The first tally seemed to instill the Royals’ confidence. Toward the end of the first half, the UB forwards added the pressure that shook up the Rochester goalie—enough to make her sit on the ball as a last resort. The play resulted in Buffalo being awarded a penalty stroke. UB’s Janine Jamieson, a former Rochester player, was awarded the stroke. As everyone else left the immediate goal area, Janine set up the shot. She feigned to the right and then blasted a shot past the goalie’s right side. Kratzke scored Buffalo’s fourth goal. Vicky Jackson was credited wdth an assist for her timely pass. UB goalie Robin Dulmage’s shutout attempt was ruined when Rochester scored halfway* through the second half on a goal by Kathy Langdon. The tally came off a pass from the corner, a perfect feed that found Langdon uncovered. The Royals Are generally optimistic about the rest of the campaign: They hope to put their skills to use today at 2 p.m. when UB hosts Genesee Community College at Rotary Field. —Elizabeth Reinish » Peak performance The first thirty-five minute half ended with UB ahead by a 2-0 count, clearly dominating the contest. The second half proved to be even more productive for the Royals. Buffalo’s Jill Cherbow gave the visitors a 3-0 lead with an early goal assisted by teammate Jeanne Quinlaven. UB continued to apply pressure during the entire second half. The Royals’ tactics paid off when Martha Come to the first meeting of the STUDENT ACTIVITIES TASK FORCE y-W Thursday, October 4th at 3:00 pm Senate Chambers, Talbert Hall, Amherst Campus Give input to decide future events at this university.

USING HIS HEAD: Buffalo's Keith Schwabinger (10) tries to get a head above his foes, the Canisius Golden Griffins during action Wednesday at Dataware Pack. The Bulls, down by a goal early in the game, fought back and won, 3-2. To avenge last year’s loss Gridders prepared to go head to head with Waynesburg Not much is known about the Bulls’ opponent tomorrow specifically Waynesburg State has gone unscouted. But as usual the UB coaches have seen the films, and can brag that they are in grid — readiness. “They’re a good football team,” asserted UB coach Bill Dando speaking of the Yellow Jackets (2-1). “They have good running backs, and a quarterback who likes to throw. They use the veer offense.” Unfortunately, not much else is known about the Waynesburg squad which beat Buffalo last year by a whopping 30-13 score. concentrate on instructing the quarterback’s arm.

Rodriguez finally looked like his booted three field goals and “We’re trying to improve our old self—the 1978 version, that consistently buried the Bulls in execution,” the coach revealed at is—breaking out of his slump in their own territory with long- '■practice. “That’s how we lost (to Brockport with an impressive 19 range punting.

Dando hopes to rely almost solely on their 146 yards on seven receptions. Tolchok II wins in last second to lead intramural pigskin week After one week of action, men’s intramural football teams are already talking of playoff action, boasting that their squad is the best at UB. At this point in the sea son,-only statistics from the 64 teams can really prove which squads are overwhelming their opponents. In the Monday 4:30 League, Checkers has scored 53 points while blanking their foes in two games. Tolchok I and Mengia also remain unbeaten after two matches. The Bionic Men are off to a slow start this season in the Tuesday 4:30 League as a result of an opening day forfeit. On Wednesday, both leagues are stacked with tough competition all trying to break ahead in the standings. Showing signs of leading the 3:30 pack are the Animals and Helter Skelters, while Toxic Wastes and the Panama Redskins battle it out in the 4:30 league. for a hard hitting exhibition of football, the Thursday 4:30 game between Tolchok II and the Nimrods was the one to watch. The Nimrods took the lead early in the opening Sackstein connected with Dave half as Singer for an aerial touchdown. Tolchok II fought back in the same half when Don Claybome hooked up with Brian Frazier for the score that tied The Bulls’ defense has been most responsible for the team’s winning record—compared to a 1-2 log at this time last year —most noticeably by allowing a stingy 48 points in three contests, a'Jdrastic improvement over the 83 points that were allowed in last season's initial three games. But the “brick-line” boys may be headed towards a troubled future, already having lost three starters to knee injuries—defensive tackle Larry Rothman and defensive backs Brian Schmidt and Kent Keating. Tomorrow’s contest is being billed as a double special day. Not only will it be “Parents’ Day”—honoring the parents of UB football players—but also “Kite Day”—featuring free Bulls kites to the first 250 youngsters. —Carlos Vallarino OLD RED MILL INN matters. The second half was a defensive display until the last two minutes when Tolchok IPs offense began to click into gear. But their drive appeared futile as the clock wound down leaving time enough for only one play. The Nimrods, however, beat themselves, commiting a crucial pass-interference penalty, enabling Tolchok to bang home the winning score with time left when Clayborne struck Bob Monahan with a TD pass. On Saturday and Sunday, the Governors' League is already heating up.

Not only are computers efficient, but they are becoming increasingly used for entertainment and education at a relatively low cost. But users say the greatest impact of computer networks will be not on the cost of communicating, but on how people communicate. Within fifteen years these networks are expected to evolve into multimedia information utilities, carrying voices and pictures as well as typed messages. People will use them to shop, bank, invest, work, vote,' or join national communities of people with special interests. - The Source's biggest rival for home users may be Viewdata, a more limited electronic text system originally developed for the British Post Office. Viewdata does not permit people to send messages, but it is easier to learn to use. Commands are coded in on a tiny keypad resembling a pocket calculator, and the text shows up in bright colors on peoples' home TV sets. The Knight-Riddcr newspaper chain, working with American Telephone and Telegraph, recently announced plans to spend $1.3 million developing a Viewdata system. In addition. General Telephone and Electronics has contracted with Viewdata’s British designers to come up with an American version. “We’re going to test to see if this market is real or not,” said a staff member at GTE. “We are looking at business applications initially, but we anticipate that this will evolve at some point into a national consumer service—depending on who is around to provide information and what types of terminals are available.” According to industry consultant Howard Anderson of the Yankee Group in Boston, three million Americans are' now using computer networks —most of them owned by corporations and universities. Like Citizens Band Radio users, people who work over computer networks often become devoted to the medium and find it making broad changes in their personal lives. “This is not simply a hobby,” said Robert Bezilla, a consultant active on the Electronic Information Exchange System (EIES), a national computer the conferencing system New Jersey Institute of Technology in Newark. “It portends a new lifestyle or career that can be frightening to those who are not participating. (A computer network] exists in the electronic ether; disembodied communication takes place; evidence indicates that new friendships are formed in new ways. And it is practiced daily or there is a gnashing of teeth when it is not accessible.” of computer service while it held a regulated telephone monopoly. But this year there were moves in Domination Naturally, the issue of who controls and regulates the computer networks is becoming a complex political dilemma. Until now, communications systems have been carefully regulated by the Federal Communications Commission, which sets standards for content and obscenity, rates and types of services. AT&T has been prohibited from offering any kind Educational Opportunities in Biomedical Research Congress and the FCC to deregulate telecommunications, allowing major companies to bring the technologies of broadcast, telephones and computers together to form massive national computer networks. AT&T, GTE, Xerox and IBM have all expressed interest in doing this. Public interest groups say this could lead to one or two of the largest corporations NIH Associate Program dominating what could become the central form of communication in this country. "It’s not like trucking, where there are 16,000 competing firms,” said Consumer’s Union lawyer Sharon Nelson. “If you immediately throw off the reins it could lead to a concentration of power, not in the interests of individual consumers. But other observers say too many companies are interested for any one to gain control, and that severe government regulation would be worse because government agencies are not informed about the possible impacts of these systems. The Postal Service, frightened by the possible loss of bills and business mail to electronic mail, lobbied for its own electronic mail system, which even in the planning stages is considered outdated by many companies. Documents would be brought to the post office, transmitted via facsimile reproduction to faraway post offices, and then delivered by hand to the receiver. “[A computer information utility] is inevitable, but how it grows in our laissez-faire economy is extremely important,” said John Clippingcr, a consultant on information policy to a federal telecommunications agency. “It could be distributed between many companies or few,” he says. “It could be labor-intensive or automated. It could reinforce some of our cultural values or undermine them. Government as it stands now is not equipped to cope with political and social implications of this magnitude. ” n Wanted Data - Student — analysis and processing, drawing graphs, some clerical work (filing).

The controversy over Syracuse University’s plans to build a domed stadium with New York State funds while the Amherst Campus remains unfinished and UB students suffer in Clarke Gym has been reborn. This Saturday the football Bulls will host Wayncsburg State at UB’s Rotary Field, while Syracuse will play the University of Washington at the City of Buffalo’s Rich Stadium. The unfortunate scheduling —both games in Buffalo—has stirred the feelings of the UB athletic department faculty who, bluntly, feel cheated, denigrated and insulted. “We’ve registered a complaint,” explained Larry Steele, UB’s Sports Information Director (SID). “It all goes back to last Spring, when it became known that Syracuse was negotiating w th the Buffalo Bills for the use of Rich Stadium. I called the Bills to tell them that they should check with UB before making any final decisions, and I was told to talk to the Syracuse UB and a demonstration here on 7 November 3, 1978 at a Rapid Transit groundbreaking ceremony where Governor Carey spoke, witnessed 1500 students protesting w the Syracuse dome. Syracuse invades UB’s turf • “ *—-■—*-■- With the possibility of drawing $ UB football fans to see Syracuse | play in Rich Stadium, there are | strong feelings among the UB m “It stinks,” remarked Esposito. % “That they (Syracuse) would come I to our backyard, and not let us § know it beforehand is intolerable. 7 And what bothers me more is that the local papers would give £ Syracuse so much coverage—like the big spread in the (Buffalo the Evening) News over weekend—while UB has to Tight to get two lines of print.” Bulls’ coach Bill Dando has taken the news rather well. “They’ll be lucky if they draw 10,000,” Dando asserted. “Of course they’ll attract the St. Joseph’s Academy fans, since Bill Hurley (the Orange Men’s quarterback) is from there.” But the overall consensus is that because of Syracuse’s asking prices—$8 and $10 simply for being Division I—UB fans will still show up at Rotary Field to see the Division III Bulls (2-1) play this - , people.” Protested funding Steele confronted Syracuse official Larry Kimball, who instructed Steele that he would ask Syracuse’s Athletic Director (AD) about the possible scheduling conflicts, and have him call Steele or Sal Esposito, LIB’s Chairman of the Department f faculty. of Recreation, Athletics and Related Instruction (RARI). “The Syracuse Athletic Director never called,” Steeled related. “So I called back after a month. He just told me that they had scheduled two games in Rich Stadium—Saturday’s and another one on October 27, when we host St. Lawrence—and that we should have some consideration for their scheduling problems while their dome is being built.” That dome is being built with $15.3 million worth of State financing, which Governor Hugh L. Carey and the New York State Legislature approved last October. Critics of the decision argued that the funds could have been put to better use—allocating them to a public university like UB for sorely needed recreational facility funding. Their voices were heard at Saturday. One who tends to agree is official Kimball, who noted that the Orange Men will not draw away any UB fans. "The people who’d go to see Buffalo play will go anyway,” he protested. Syracuse Cancellation thwarted West Valley organizers win; rally to go on as planned by Joyce Howe Managing Editor With a decision that surprised no one involved in the organizing of the scheduled September 29 West Valley rally, the Cattaraugus County capitol court in Little Valley Monday gave the rally sponsors the go ahead. The “show cause” order given the West Valley organizers (the September 29 Coalition and the Sierra Club Radioactive Wastes Campaign) in a surprise move by County Attorney Dennis Tobolski last Wednesday was thus beaten. The rally—hoping to prevent the storage of more radioactive wastes and the creation of a permanent repository in West Valley—had been threatened by Tobolski’s decision to enforce a County law passed in 1974 stipulating. that all groups responsible for mass gatherings of 10,000 or more persons file for a permit 90 days in advance. organizer and rally After the decision. Sierra coordinator Lawrence Farber, who said last week that “We [rally organizers] don’t think we should be held accountable for the actions of Dennis Tobolski,” enthused, “We are now going full steam ahead and twice as strong as before in our publicity efforts for the rally. It is about time Tobolski realized his case against us was weak.” Rally organizers had claimed that the County law was being • applied discriminately and is a direct affront to their First Amendment freedoms of speech and assembly. Passed in 1974 to prevent a rock concert, the Cattaraugus County law is generally referred to as the “anti-Woodstock law.” At the time, both County officials and residents feared the concert might result in property damage and invasion of privacy. According to Sierra Club lawyer Richard Lippes, “We presented an affidavit to the court and to the County Attorney today proving there would be less than 10,000 people expected at the rally.” He said the County Attorney did not display any emotion save that of acceptance of the Against wastes West Valley (35 miles southeast of Buffalo) is the home of the now closed Nuclear Fuel Services (NFS) reprocessing plant. Now shut down due to financial losses, the plant still houses both low level radioactive wastes (contaminated clothing and equipment) and high level radioactive liquid wastes within its buildings. Original plans for the rally—now being held on privately owned farm land lying eight miles away from NFS—called for the protest to be held on the state-owned NFS land. In a letter to State Energy Commissioner James LaRocca negotiating for use of the land, rally sponsors estimated the crowd to be in excess of 10,000. Those numbers have since been scaled down to the figures of 2000-5000. “But it is the old figures in the letter to LaRocca that the Cattaraugus County is using against us,” Farber claimed before the court decision. Organizers claimed they had not been notified of the law’s existence until September. Planning for the rally commenced in July. All along “They have how accepted the Sierra Club’s willingness to work cooperatively with the County and its legislature. It is a realization they should have known all along,” Lippes said. "We have made many overtures to the Legislature expressing our wish to cooperate and acted responsibly all the way,” he court’s decision. added. Contacted at home, the County Attorney conceded “It was the Court’s decision today that the rally organizers showed enough proof that the rally’s crowd would not reach above 10,000 and that the organizers would comply with the New York State health law.” However, he added, “1 will reserve judgement until Saturday.” Tobolsk! indicated he did not anticipate any problems. Rally spokesman and UB physicist Marvin Rcsnikoff, one of the two directly named in the show cause order and called to court, speculated on why the County Attorney issued the order for a law rally organizers feel is unconstitutional. —continued on page 10— Acheson workers fear fumes, suggest ventilation failing by Joe Simon Campus Editor The presence of toxic fumes in Main Street’s Acheson Hall—having caused one laboratory technician to leave work early last week after becoming ill—has gotten to such a serious level that “they a re t’ere almost every other day,” according to one worker in the building. The source, who did not wish to be identified, brought the story to The Spectrum's attention reportedly after all other efforts to remedy the situation failed. “We’re terribly scared. We don’t know if they (the fumes) can cause any serious health problems,” said one of several workers gathered in a room in Acheson—the home of the Chemistry Department —to discuss the problem. “At least three times it’s caused my heart to pound and given me headaches,” one source lamented. "1 had to leave the building each time.” The workers agreed that the most prevalent fume was ether—a chemical often used in organic chemistry and also as an anesthetic. However one worker, with a doctorate in ■; ch€mistry, said other Uhidentified fumes had been noticed." On September 18, a laboratory technician said he was seated at his desk in one of the chemistry labs in Achcson when he became “suddenly anesthetized by the ether gases in the room.” “I was essentially overcome,” he explained. “1 was really scared, I tried to get up but I couldn’t because my knees were like water. I was sweating profusely, I didn’t want to fall to the floor because that’s where I felt the fumes were coming from. I went into the hall and it was even worse.” Several ailments UB Environmental, Health and Safety has reportedly responded several times to complaints about the fumes and has blamed the wind for interferring with what should be an effective ventilation system. The ventilation hoods on top of Acheson blow the fumes out, but critics charge a strong gust of wind is likely to blow them back in. “Those hoods don’t do what they’re supposed to,” one worker claimed. Director of Environmental Health and Safety Robert Hunt could not be reached for comment. All the workers also agreed that some fumes were coming up through the sinks in \ —continued on page 10 — �Fredonia cancels day classes for scheduled guest lecture * I by James Manning Spectrum Stuff Writer FREDONIA—Students here are getting the morning off tomorrow, but they’d better bring their notebooks anyway. University President Dallas K. Beal has decreed that no classes will be held until noon so that Fredonia students will be free to attend the keynote lecture of the school’s three day Academic Convocation. But the convocation—which will feature a noted psychologist with some startling theories—is also the subject of an assignment by several members of the Fredonia faculty. Since their students are free to attend the lecture, the faculty members have required them to attend and will test them on it. The lecture, to be given by Julian Jaynes—a noted psychologist—will focus on his theories stated in “The Origins of Consciousness in the Breakdown of the Bicameral Mind.” Jaynes theorizes that ancient man’s brain was divided into two distinct halves whose form of communication was through hallucinated voices. In an interview with Psychology Today Jaynes described his theory in this manner; “Billions of nerve cells in the right hemisphere process complex , K ! l/V | | | y/ 1 iS JACK hair shack! 842 COLVIN AVENUE (Just - Models, Male and Female far demo hm cuts- MONOA Y'S ONL Y!

He currently holds the positions of Associate Professor and Research Psychologist at Princeton University. The Convocation, the brainchild of a committee of distinguished faculty, has been in the planning since May and will become a reality during the next two days. The academic conference was planned by a committee of students and faculty with the guidance of Morgan Dowd, Fredonia’s Dean of Natural and Social Sciences. The purpose of the meeting, according to Dowd, “is to introduce a stimulating academic climate to start the year.” The three day convocation will be held today through Friday, with its main addresses tomorrow. Dowd expects the convocation to become a yearly event since it is the “wish of the president, vicepresident, and the deans to focus on the academic climate early in the year.” J| One million smackers Ever wonder what it would be Not much left like to suddenly win that amount of Kaplan also claimed that money?

One major difference in the Canadian lottery is that it is tax free—where it is estimated that in excess of 50 percent of the money won through lotteries sponsored in the United States goes to Uncle Sam.

The UB medical program is broken into two phases—pre-clinical (classroom) and clinical (hospital) study. Both areas are considered in the accreditation review. Accreditation is the State’s seal of approval for a University program. The Public Accreditation Bodies of the American Medical Association and The American Association of Medical Colleges were severely critical of the UB School in their 1972 report. They called for change in 1976, as well. The basic science facilities on the Main Street Campus have been a primary problem area. Others are the faculty/student ratio, the lack of a permanent, expanded Health Sciences Library and the further improvement of clinical programs. The cramped facilities on the Main Street Campus are reportedly among the major concerns of students. According to second year student John Santelli, a member of the School’s Faculty Council and the Committee on Occupational Health, “It’s hard to learn modern medicine in a neanderthal environment.” No money A central concern is focused on the two lecture halls—particularly Room 144 Farber. Most major courses, such as “Anatomy and Pathology,” are taken jointly there will students from the Dental School. The students’ discoimort may, according to Dean of the Medical School John Naughton, affect he School’s chances for accreditation renewal. “Yes,” he said, “if these things are impacting on the way they (the students) perform, and on our ability to attract students. “Medical students have been, in this complex, in pretty concentrated fashion for two years,” Naughton explained. “If this is going to be their home for two years, there should be an air of colleagueality and comfort.” Naughton acknowledged that the School’s lecture halls are “inadequate in terms of comfort, modem day technology, ventilation and sound.” But the root of the problem is that the School’s $11 million operating budget covers faculty salaries, not facilities maintenance. Maintenance falls under the University’s Department of Facilities and Planning which receives its funding from the State. According to the Assistant Vice President of Planning and Facilities John Neal, an effort is being made to improve the lecture hall’s poor sound systems, but there is no money available to renovate the rooms’ air conditioning. Naughton cited the need for a complete overhaul, but estimated that the job would cost one-quarter of a million dollars. The Medical School complex, which includes parts of Farber, Sherman ? and Cary Halls, has seen much improvement over the last four years, (I» Naughton said. But. he added, the situation will improve most when construction of facilities on the Amherst Campus is completed. Planned, is a shift of part of the Dental School from Sherman into Foster Hall, now being renovated. The intention is that the Medical School will then have more room in which to operate. by The reorganization of the Main Street Campus is being overseen a up which is drawing firm Associates, Inc.—an architectural Cannon master plan scheduled to be finished by next month, according to Vice President of Health Sciences F. Carter Pannill. That plan, which among other things is determined to “develop the library’s final home,” will be shown to the accrediting team which will be visiting the campus in 1981. But the accreditation bodies will expect more than an architect’s plan for improvement, Naughton maintained. They will want a specific time-table, he said, for when the improvements will take place. Good, but. There have been improvements in the last few years. Since the Pharmacy School moved to the Ridge Lea Campus, almost all the basic science facilities there are housed under one roof. Additionally, fifty to sixty full-time faculty have been hired over the last few years, said Naughton, so that SUNYAB’s faculty/student radio —1.3 to 1—is on a par with the other three medical schools in SUNY. The national average, however, is 1 to 1. Some departments, however, are still suffering a manpower shortage, like the Department of Social and Preventive Medicine, which is also burdened by the search for a new chairman. Many students and faculty see the UB clinical program as one of the Medical School’s chief strengths. When the 20-member self-study task force—which is spearheading a comprehensive review required by the accreditation team —is completed, it can report, Naughton said, that the clinical program has been stabilized since 1976, with the selection of new chairmen for the departments of Neurology, Physical Rehabilitation and .. Psychiatry. Second year student Mark Blossom said, “The clinical facilities are excellent and the collective attitude of the doctors is a good one. (Having) What is important about a 11 hospitals (in town) is pretty good medical school are the clinical facilities. The first two years are pretty much the same anywhere.” However, Naughton pointed out even in this strong area two problems remain: the lack of a centralized medical complex, so that the clinical faculty are not spread out in hospitals where they often have “cubicles for offices,” and the lack of a corporate University practice plan, establishing a policy under which the instructors will be permitted to practice. . . . Anthropology department discovers new Chairman The Department of Anthropology here has a familiar Albert T. but new face filling the post of Steegmann—an associate professor here since the mid-1960’s—has replaced the former chairman, Fredrick O. Gearing. Gearing, who held the position for four years, said his reasons for resigning were “external to the department” and did not wish to comment on them. Gearing supported Steegmann in his bid for the chairman post. Stecgmann received his Bachelor of Science degree in Anthropology from the University of Kansas in 1958. In 1965, he earned his doctorate from the University of Michigan at Ann Arbor. Until 1966, Stecgmann taught at the University of Missouri at Columbia. Following his stint at Missouri, Stecgmann accepted the position of Associate Professor in UB’s Anthropology Department. As chairman, Stecgmann plans to initiate a rejuvenation of the pre-medical, pre-dental courses offered through the Anthropology Department. The program had been offered in past years with reported great success for the undergraduates who participated in it. A loss of funding, however, led to abandonment of the program. According to Steegmann, the Department is expanding within the area of Historical Anthropology. Currently, UB is involved in work being done at the Fort Niagara excavation site by anthropology professor Stuart Scott. Skeletal remains and rare artifacts have so far been found—both considered vital in linking migration patterns of early settlers and the Indians. Steegmann is currently engaged in research work of his own, investigating the height of eighteenth century men in relation to living conditions of the time period. “Stature is a sensitive indicator of socio-economic status It gives insight into economic variations and the problems encountered,” he indicated. With the use of eighteenth century military records, Stecgmann has compiled over 9500 physical reports for his research. He plans to examine the heights of British soldiers compared to the heights of neighboring soldiers from Scotland and Ireland, to see if there are any variations in the geographical region. Major differences could provide clues as to the living conditions and lifestyle of the countries’ inhabitants. Further research study includes tracing relatives to the “new world.” If socio-economic conditions improve or decline, then theoretically the height of individuals should increase or deciease accordingly. Steegmann plans to have his Findings published either in a scries of articles, or in book form. The new Anthropology Chairman also noted that members of the faculty and graduate students are continuing fieldwork in such areas as Malaysia and South America. —Scott Swick vAr.l ...

NEVER AN ADMISSION CHARGE Night school seeks to offer more programs Resources were blamed for the lack of some undergraduate program offerings at Millard Fillmore College (MFC)—UB’s night school According to Director of MFC Eric Streiff, limited resources have left the night school incapable of offering some degree programs, the most critical being Nursing. But, Streiff adde, MFC is not the only higher education institution burdened by financial restrictions and the consequent tightened degree scope. At the root of dollar concerns is enrollment—steadily decreasing in New York State and throughout the nation. “In the pool of students which we draw,” Streiff maintained, “the population is decreasing rapidly. He explained that the primary pool from which MFC attracts students—35 years old or younger—involves people whose roots are not set firmly in Buffalo. Therefore, he said, when the local economy declines, residents relocate. As enrollment University-wide affects the number of faculty in all departments, priorities must be set. “Some departments,” Streiff explained, “are overtaxed in terms of faculty.” They cannot, he added, afford to let them teach at night when the demand is much greater during the day. from JAMES THE NEW ENGLAND CONSERVATORY Man With A Golden Flute!

Despite student complaints cited by the MFC Student Association, Streiff maintained that good planning can allow for completion of a desired degree. “Our function is to allow students to finish programs,” he said, explaining that flexibility is a necessity. If a degree is not offered through MFC, there can be modifications in the course of study. Citing Architecture as an example, he said, the program can be stretched over a three year period. Administrators at other schools with evening education programs related their programs to those of MFC in terms of similar limitations. At Buffalo State College, a lack of students in some areas and a lack of teachers in other areas were blamed for limited degree offerings. The College does, however, offer varied courses on weekends which, reportedly, tend to fill some of the gaps in the evening program. Streiff said that both the interests of the students and the needs of the community must be examined in consideration of program expansion. Management, for example, is a relatively new addition to MFC offerings. Streiff stressed that there should not be as big a gap as exists between day and night instruction. “They cannot be separated,” he said. —Rebecca Smith Bike compound foils theft but need money to survive During the summer there were 48 reported thefts on campus, a relatively high rate for the summer season, Director of University Police Lee Griffin noted. So far this year there have been eight reported thefts. Many of the stolen bicycles were not locked-up properly in the Main Street Campus bicycle compound. Overall, the compound has proved to be—if worked properly—a pretty effective means to guard against thieves. In the past there has usually been a guard hired by the Student Association (SA) to watch the compound between the hours of 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. The bicycle compound, located behind the Abbott Library, has been in operation approximately two years. The project was started and funded in part by SA, assisted by matched funds from the University. Griffin believed that, as in previous years, dollars for the compound’s upkeep would be forthcoming from SA. The project, he estimated, has a of $5000. However, funds formerly allocated by SA were not approved in this year’s budget, according to SA Director of Student Affairs Diana Derhak. The funds were not approved, she said, because it was expected that the University Police would be taking a bigger role in bike security on campus this year. But the University Police—counting on the $5000 from SA —question how the project will be funded. Griffin said, however, that while details are being worked out, his department will maintain responsibility for it. Bikes can still be registered for the compound with University Police. year-round cost ATTENTION COMMUTER STUDENTS The Division of Student Affairs/ Activities Centers is going to offer students a locker rental service in Capen Hall on a first come, first serve basis.

However, Rights of Conscience challenged the GSA’s right to set criteria for recognition. But OSA determined that recognition, in this case, was sought "only for legitimization” and no special interest was demonstrated in the aims and purposes of GSA. “They have the freedom as a study group to meet in Squire," Finn said. "And they said they wanted recognition to use facilities.” Finn said prime concern was focused on the possibifty of the group soliciting donations. She explained that Rights of Conscience does not regulate its accounts through Sub Board. “None of the clubs we recognize," she said, “have separate accounts. If they were recognized by GSA, but we had no real control over them, it could endanger our credibility as an organization” 'Rights of Conscience could not be reached for comment. But this most recent controversy is only one of a series which has surrounded recognition at this University. AS a spin-off from the overall effect of the process, a committee consisting of student and administrative constituents was assembled last week to review and coordinate current policies. According to Associate Vice President for Student Affairs Anthony F. Lorenzetti—committee organizer—a number ofinstances served as the impetus for organized review. “Overall.” he said, “the prevalent factor was that the policy and process was established on campus years ago.” Lorcnzetti cited the need for more “evenhanded ness” in policies, but would not dismiss the possibility of simply readopting existent guidelines. Of central importance, he added, is finding out the different criteria each student government —OSA and SA—goes by. “The University,” he said, "would be remiss if it [recognition] was denied to a group whichdeserved it.” three-month postponement, the UB Rights of Conscience Group was recently denied recognition by the Graduate Student Association (GSA). v * >• i The question was originally discussed at the GSA’s June 13 meting, but -“because of serious issues brought up," according to President Joyce Pinn, the vote was postponed. Recognition was finally defeated on September 12 by a vote of 11-14-6. The UB Rights of Conscience Group gained notoriety last year when they publicly opposed mandatory abortion coverage under the Student Health Insurance plan. The group approached the Executive Committee of the undergraduate Student Association (SA) for recognition and was referred to that body’s Senate, which it reportedly has not yet addressed. Recognition of a group entitles an organization to certain privileges such as space in Squire Hall and access to the campus mail service and resources. University policy entrusts student governments with the power to grant or deny recognition, “so long as by doing so University policy is not violated.” According to Pinn, GSA expects that all groups applying for recognition are willing to participate “in the GSA as an integral part and are willing to uphold its policies [interests].” She added, “It is against GSA policy to recognize groups unwilling to fulfill the above criteria merely to legitimize their existence for the purpose of utilizing University facilities.” Pinn stressed that the criteria was an interest and desire to participate in, and not just identify with, GSA. 10% STUDENT DISCOUNT WITH THIS AD OR YOUR ID CARD technical pens t-squares triangles parallel rules drawing boards protractors drafting pencils scales:arch & eng. erasers templates paper vinyl board cover UUAB MUSIC COMITTEE Announces its OPEN SATURDAYS ERIE BLUEPRINT SECOND MEMBERSHIP MEETING & SUPPLY CO 1535 HERTEL AVE. 834-7316 BUFFALO 14216 NEW FOREIGN STUDENTS Thursday, Sept. 27th at 6.00 pm in Room 33 Hall, Main St. Campus 7 Squire Semester Long Orientation Presents: “American Food Your Concerns” “Communicating With Americans” “Resources of the Learning Center” “On Campus/Off Campus Housing” - Look for Classical Guitarist ERIC HILL v Wednesday, Sept. 26th pm; 167 MFAC, Ellicott Complex / Division of Student Affairs Cares THE BUFFALO GUITAR QUARTET Co-sponsored by .DUE Advisement ssssss >i*z*z»z«z»z*z«z*z*z*z*z»z*z*z»z*z<« Sunday, October 14th THE GREAT ESCAPE. and STAN ROGERS on Saturday, October 13th ; Buy A Big Mac and Get a Free Flair Pen You dream about it at night... the day you can close your books, get out of this place and forget about studying for awhile.

It wasn’t enough that Syracuse University (SU), a private school, played its part in conning the State Legislature into appropriating $15.3 milion to build a domed stadium while UB officials have for too long witnessed an unfinished Amherst Campus at a public school. The UB athletic program has had to bear the cost of an overcrowded, underequipped Clark Gym, forcing students here to rely on an oversized balloon—the Amherst Bubble. Athletic officials here have good intentions, trying to make the most of the least—and when State and local government officials came to campus last November, UB pleaded its case. We lost. Now, SU officials have once again backstabbed this University. They have scheduled an SU football game in Buffalo’s Rich Stadium for Saturday—the same day UB hosts Waynesburg at home. But what is worse, SU officials never even bothered to check here first. We must question their intent—perhaps it was negligent—but never the less, their poor planning infringes upon this University. We know that the UB game is scheduled to start at 1:30 p.m. while Syracuse will not play until 6 that evening. Syracuse may not even draw part of UB’s crowd away from our game. We don’t care. The courtesy that was not extended to this University only exemplifies an uncaring attitude. On the other hand, organizers for the Rally in West Valley this Saturday have been planning to confront the Nuclear Fuel Storage site for months. This demonstration is scheduled to start at 2 p.m. In effect, UB community members will not be able to attend both —at least for the full time. However, organizers for the West Valley rally did not have the same opportunity that officials at Syracuse did—they were in no position to check with the UB athletic department to see if schedules conflicted. Thus, we will not impute the motives of the West Valley organizers. In fact, we see their rally as a carefully planned, sorelyneeded statement about what the status of nuclear energy should be in this country. The West Valley demonstration comes on the heels of a 200,000-person strong anti-nuke statement that reverberated throughout New York City’s Battery Park this past weekend. The West Valley rally’s intent is well-founded and hopefully, its results will prove successful. u/inwihf hlhLrt e!. ’ fnt« ' U t ?IT ® ® ’ * On we have again witnessed an action where the results are not reflective of intent. The Rights of Conscience Group asked the Graduate Student Association’s (GSA) Senate for recognition—an endorsement of their right to exist with privileges such as office space in Squire Hall. But the GSA Senate declined to recognize the group, primarily because Rights of Conscience is not an “academic” organization, so to speak, desiring to be part of GSA; and that is the main criterion for GSA recogntion. Rights of Conscience does not want to be part of GSA—it just wants a basic right to assemble in the student union with whatever “privileges” all recognized groups are entitled to. Their intent is an honest and legitimate one, yet their result has been stifled. When making judgements, it is important to consider both intent and result. Syracuse's intent was poor, rally organizers and the Rights of Conscience Group’s intent isn’t. We can only hope that resultant actions of the latter two groups equals their intent.

At this time, I wish ta apologize for the advertisements for “Rootie’s Pump Room Flesh Parties” which appeared in the Sept. 14 edition of The Spectrum. After much criticism with respect to the content of these advertisements from customers and friends at UB, I now, more than ever, realize that I was not sensitive enough to the feelings and attitudes of this community. It was not my intent to offend either sex or to create controversy. It, however, appears that I have done so to too many. I am not a sexist; Rootie’s Pump Room is not a sexist bar. I promise to be more careful in the wording of my advertising in the future. Again, my sincere apologies. Rootle ritmwcmiffleim, ■M&PV Spirits in the night by Joel Dinerstein Behind the glass doors of a very contemporary corporation, an inanimate silver structure stands in a closet with some friends, deactivated, awaiting his day’s work. For when it comes time for the mail to be delivered, our sterling hero will begin his routine. A rosy-cheeked lady greets Norm with a flip of a switch that is closely related—mechanically— to a car’s ignition. Norm responds in quick twitches, each metallic limb answering the unanimous wake-up call. He walks out of the storage cabinet which he calls home and follows Donna to the packaged and parceled clumps of mail to be delivered to the various offices on the fourth floor, where the Communications Department is located. He and Donna load the bundles into a large hand-held metal basket. When all is in readiness, the two incongruous beings walk side-by-side to the elevator—one stiff, shiny and sure-footed, the other pigeon-toed, but somewhat sexier. As the elevator opens to welcome the first floor passengers, Donna physically aids Norm in getting on, then goes to press No. 4, but Norm has beaten her to it with a hint of a smile. She bids him good day and he seems to wink back as the doors close. Upon reaching the fourth tioor, Norm beeps in patterns of six until Bobby bounds out from the vehicle. (John McCann had been trying for weeks to develop a program that would enable Norm and his S3X contemporaries to board and leave elevators unassisted, but to no avail.) Once off the elevator, Norm is spotted by Bruce down the hall who calls out, “Hey, Norman Mailer’s here everybody.” Norm is modest and does not wave to the crowd as they stick their heads out of their respective offices and cubicles. Many “Hi, Norman,” “Hey, Norm, buddy, how’s it hanging and "How are ya, Norm,” are left unanswered. Instead, Norm goes about his job with admirable efficiency, proceeding from desk-to-desk delivering packets of mail while picking up the morning’s outgoing correspondence. Even Miss Ellerton, whose affinity for Norman is a well known topic of mockery along these corridors receives little more than vague acknowledgement from the statuesque satellite that orbits the fourth floor once daily. “Ah, Norm,” Bruce says as the big lummox ” approaches his corner, “you ever go through one of those times . .. your train’s always late, the boss is on your back, the wife’s on the rag, the kids are either on pills of one form or another, or they’re wondering why they’re not on pills of one form or another... and to top it off my mother-inlaw’s spending the weekend ... you know what 1 mean?” Norm blinks reassuringly at Bruce and shuffles on after picking up the mail. “Oh, yeah, Norm, here’s one more piece of mail. And, uh, thanks for listening.” “Norman, you big hunk of metal you, how I love to feel your smooth spine and run my fingers along the top of your square head. I want to make you beep like you’ve never beeped before. I want to have a bracelet by you, Norm, can’t you see that?” Jackie tears herself away from Norman's stoic rumblings. Norm hmmphs and walks past. Jackie, who is head of the personnel department (aka the Loon Squad), puts her hands on her hips and, to no one in particular, says, “Can’t even excite a robot. Jackie, girl, It’s time we go to a health spa.” Day is done. With the same steadiness with which he had approached the first desk, Norman walks the final distance to the elevator. He beeps once again—two patterns of six—before Mrs. Corvino emerges, raving about how she has real business to attend to. “Robots ... robots they build for us so we can put them on the elevator. My grandson can get on an elevator by himself, and he speaks better than you beep." She glares at Norman. "Madonna...” She leads him onto the elevator and then bolts away. Norman first grimaces and then sticks an imaginary tongue out behind her back. On the first floor, Donna awaits Norman Mailer; Mrs. Corvino had called down. (“Help that bundle of bolts off the poop chute.”) Donna helps him off and walks with him, stride for unbending stride, towards the mailroom. Norm and Donna sort the mail out into respective piles by weight and leave it by the postage meter for Tom. Many of the other mail-robots now arrive from the different parts of the building, finished with their rounds on all of the forty-odd floors. Norman Mailer, being the first one done, is guided by Donna back to his room. He leans against the back wall and seems to let out an after-hours sigh. See ya in '84, he might be thinking. Funny how some things come of age before their time. �feedback Guest Opinion ffraft registration still a threat? by Anne Meisenzahl The lives of millions of young peopole are once again threatened by the prospect of a new draft. Recently, Congress has been contemplating a number of bills which would mandate compulsory registration; the latest, an amendment to the House Weapons Authorization Bill, would have required all young men who become 18 after Dec. 31,1981 to register for the draft. Fortunately, it was defeated. Though this is a victory, it Is not the last battle. The Senate has yet to vote on S. 109 and §. 226, two bills that would require 18-26 year old men to register for the draft. More bills are expected to be introduced in the future by the hard-line draft proponents. These bills do not call specifically for a draft, but for the re-institution of compulsory registration—seemingly innocuous in itself. The problem is that with each of these bills come various questions: should women be mandated to register? Should the Privacy Act be waived to allow for automatic registration (through the use of school records, social security numbers, etc.)? Should the /President be given complete induction authority? Registration is clearly the first step toward compulsory military service. Without it, it will be more difficult for our government to mobilize fighters for an unpopular war; with it, young people have fewer,options'and are compelled to fight. What is behind this resurgence of militarism? Why this new legislation that would divide us as a nation and bring us to the edge of more violent and another —perhaps wasteful—war. Many of the calls for a revival of registration and the draft are based on the premise that the United States is in a “vulnerable” position militarily. Draft proponents claim that the All Volunteer Force is under-manned, under-trained, under-educated; they claim that in the event that the U.S. became involved in a major war, we would be incapable of mobilizing enough inductees—from the reserves and active duty forces—to meet minimum standards. There are however, 2.1 million troops in the Army, Air Force, Navy and Marines; a Department of Defense report on the All Volunteer Force, commissioned by Congress, found that there is no shortage of people on active duty, and that the “shortfall” found in the reserve forces could be eliminated by offering better pay and educational benefits to prospective recruits. (An angle that is rarely, if ever, considered in the debate is whether or not we might have more weaponry and manpower than we need for an adequate defense. A study by Paul Walker and Philip Morrison of the Boston Study Group points out that, along with a 40 percent reduction of the military budget, U.S. military manpower levels could be cut by one-third, from 2.1 million to 1.4 million, without posing a threat to our security.) Both Defense Secretary Harold Brown and former Energy Secretary James Schlesinger have stated that we would be prepared to intervene militarily in the Persian Gulf if “our" oil supply there were threatened. According to the New York Times (April 22), the Pentagon is presently training a strike force of 100,000 troops for the “defense of American interests” in the Persian Gulf area. Another Vietnam-like military intervention—leading possibly to the use of nuclear weapons—becomes more likely with the onset of the draft. Peacetime military conscription constitutes a serious restruction of individual freedom. As a form of “involuntary servitude” it is unconstitutional; the privacy of millions of young people will be invaded if the Selective Service System is granted access to school, social security and other records. Military registration places in the hands of the President and his administration the ultimate authority: it gives the government the power to compel its citizens to learn to kill, and when ordered, to kill and be killed. What can be done to prevent this madness? The Buffalo Coalition Against Registration and the Draft (CARD) is a local group formed to organize resistance to, and education about, this new legislation. Already the group has sponsored an anti-draft rally (last Spring at the Federal building), has met with the legislative aides of Senators Jacob Javits and Daniel Moynihan and Representative John LaFalce, has sponsored a petition and letter-writing campaign and is seeking organizational resolutions against draft legislation. A community-wide educational event is in the planning stage; the group plans on eventually making presentations on the draft, moral decision-making and conscientious objection available to high school students. We are urging people to go on record now as conscientious objectors if they are draft-eligible (all people between 18 and 26 are). Further information can be obtained through CARD, Get in touch with Buffalo CARD; we need energy and ideas in order to stop the draft before it starts.

Because I am a second year student at UB, I must, of necessity, remain anonymous; but I would like to address myself to the main issue (perhaps a happy and eventful one) that forced me to matriculate at UB. Whether you are aware of it or not, such colleges as Canisius, etc. have now a policy of not admitting former felons unless they sign a release of information form, and their FBI report does not divulge an arrest or conviction tor a felony that involves a weapon, etc. I personalty feel that this procedure is unconstitutional; having practiced in the paralegal field in prisoners’ rights in the past, I Trust—an becomes weary. You have guessed right—I have joined, because I could not beat "them.” I work for the city, and want to keep my job and the little bit of respectability that is allowed me—but my past ever haunts me, and it is articles like Mr. Hentoff’s that bring rise to the old activist in me, and then ... you find me writing letters like this. Please, those that are concerned, keep up the good work—some of our best people are behind bars, whether rightly or wrongly, they are talented, capable individuals, that with the right support and direction can probably out-do us all in the open market. Thanks for hearing me out. An avid reader MM artifact of the past? To the Editor: Today I heard another story that dented my usual optimism once more. An old man who has suffered the loss of his sight this past year and has turned to community supported agencies to keep himself and his wife out of nursing homes was robbed blind by the very people he has turned to. It was not the agency directly but rather the people these agencies sent to do the actual housekeeping. In God’s name, where has our sense of decency gone? What has happened to our society? Trust is no longer a common factor in our lives. We soon learn that if we trust, we open ourselves up for heartaches. By the same token, we are forced by circumstances, to trust because after alt, when you have your sight and then lose it—you must learn a whole new concept of living and doing. Therefore, out of necessity, we trust. There is something violent about this act of robbing the blind, blind. Somewhere along the way society has taken to mugging the elderly and feeding off the misfortunes of others. Gone is self respect, pride and honesty. I guess our own government currency says it best—"In God we Trust,” it is a cinch we cannot trust our fellow man. / Colleen Marie Miller, President The Independents i <D �i West Valley —continued from page 3— . “There‘are till some County legislators around who were here when the NFS plant was open and do not want to admit their mistake. They feel the nuclear wastes industry was wonderful and don’t want to hear anything bad,” he said. “1 am sure they put Tobolski under pressure to enforce the law.” y According to both Tobolski and Chairman of the County Legislature James Snyder, the County Attorney is legally invested with “broad powers to enforce local laws of the County without the permission of the Legislature." Violate freedoms Olcan legislator Brian O’Connell, a scheduled speaker at the rally and anti-nuclear supporter, has been a harsh critic of County Attorney Tobolski’s actions.

We, the legislature, speak for the people. His is a dangerous authority.” O’Connell expects to take up the matter on the floor of the County Legislature today.

Included among the ailments that some of the workers have experienced are headaches, heart palpitations and extreme sleepiness. “We’re also worried about our throat and nose membranes,” a worker explained. “I hope these fumes don’t affect them.” A source charged that the University has been avoiding the situation in Acheson because of monetary concerns. ,vThe University doesn’t want to put any money into this building,” the person claimed, “because they’re eventually going to move the Chemistry Department out to Amherst and they probably think it is foolish to invest money here.’ Department unaware Executive Officer of the Chemistry Vicki Wheeler was surprised when told of the complaints. “We had reports about six months ago that fumes were giving people headaches,” she said. “Health and Safety came, but the problem was gone by that time. We’ve heard nothing since.” Wheeler indicated that the problem with the ventilation system “is news to everyone.” She said checks are run on it every twelve months to make sure it is functioning Department properly. Chemistry Department Chairman Stanley Bruckenstcin also expressed surprise when informed of the complaints. “We would have no wish for anyone to work in unhealthy conditions,” he said. “If it was reported to us directly, we would have surely done something about it.” One graduate student on the second floor of Acheson reported that a notice was sent around “about three or four months ago” by the Chemistry Department, asking people to be careful when spilling chemicals down the sinks. The student said the notice specifically mentioned ether. Not a library A faculty member in the Chemistry Department whose office is in Achcson, was incensed about the accusations. He refused to reveal his name “because,” he said, “if they didn’t, why should I.” He maintained that fumes are inherent to a chemistry building, and the greatest of safety measures arc used in Acheson “There are some people who feel that this place should smell like a student union or a library, but it’s not. It’s a chemistry building,” he explained. “If they’d build us that new campus already, maybe we could be up-to-date with the latest technology.” Graduate student Greg Smutzer who works in Achcson noted that over the summer Maintenance came into the lab where he works and did some work on the ventilation system. “I had some trouble with fumes about six months ago, headaches mainly, but nothing since then,” he said. Another graduate student, who works on the second floor, believed that “people who go into the field of chemistry have to expect these fumes. It’s part of the job.” * much more The Toyota Grand Prix weekend is coming. October 5, 6, and 7.

Not that it used to, only that the recent brutal assassination of British war hero. Lord Earl Mountbatten signals a new and vicious turn in the interminable and seemingly insoluble Northern Irish Civil War. By murdering a beloved member of the royal family, one who had no connection whatsoever with the formulation of policy in the strife-torn battleground, the IRA hoped to demonstrate to the British government and public that they’ve raised the stakes to the point even of killing royalty. Whether the reaction of abject horror will destroy the will of the English to arbitrate the war —convincing them to pull out their troops —or whether it will have the opposite effect of strengthening their resolve in the face decision to go ahead with the completion of the of adversity, remains to be seen. One thing is sure: the controversial Tellico Dam project in Tennessee; the situation is fast becoming more volatile and deadly. construction of which will seal the fate of the snail darter, Recently one IRA provisional army member refused to an endangered species.

A resolution of this political hotbed appears as Environmental Editor Marc Sherman on Congress' distant as ever. Ireland’s violent resurgence reflected in media by Kathleen McDonough Ireland, once known for its unrelenting violence and terrorism, has appeared relatively calm in recent years. What once made the front page all over the world has been relegated to the inside pages of The New York Times- masking the fury rolling in the Island’s green hills. But that's all over now Ireland is back on the front page The first clear signal that the “troubles” in Ireland were far from resolved came this Spring, when a member of the British Parliament was killed outside the House of Commons. The Irish Republican Army (IRA) left its calling card for the British government as the House, in session at the time, was rocked by the blast from the explosion of his car. But the IRA struck its toughest blow on August 27 when it did the unthinkable: assassinated a member of the royal family, Earl Mountbatten of Burma. Lord Mountbatten and his family were spending the day on board the Mountbatten fishing boat off the Irish coast when a bomb shattered the boat into pieces of wood, killing Mountbatten and three others. Mountbatten’s assassination represented a shift in the tactics of the IRA’s provisional wing—long employing violence to achieve their centuries old goal of a united Ireland free from British rule; The IRA has decided not to randomly plant bombs in pubs or shops, but to hone its attack to targets where it will be the most devastating. Those targets have been revealed as high ranking officials in the British government and military, the royal family But maintaining order in Ulster has proved more costly than the British had originally planned. Since the provisional IRA erupted from the south ten years ago, British soldiers have been sttioned in Ireland. In those years, shootings and bombings on the streets of Ulster have become almost commonplace, taking the lives of about 300 British soldiers and well over 1,000 civilians. No-win situation The British people, increasingly weary of the violence in Ireland, have been infuriated by Mountbatten’s death and are likely to pressure the government to take some action; cither in the form of an all out move to crush the IRA or simply to withdraw from Ireland altogether, leaving their descendents in Ireland to fare for themselves. Many in Northern Ireland would consider a British withdrawal disastrous, Analysis itself. Protestant backlash The provisional IRA has also opted to take aim at targets outside the borders of Britain and Ireland to force the rest of the world to acknowledge its goals and in turn put more pressure on the British government to resolve the Irish dilemma. On the day after the Mountbatten assassination —a day which also witnessed the highest death doll in a single incident with the deaths of 18 British soldiers in an Ulster ambush —a bomb exploded in Brussels. The bomb, hidden under an outdoor stage in the Belguim capitol, was set to explode during a performance by a British Army Band but went off just prior to the concert s start. The IRA claimed responsibility for the blast This change in strategy is hoped to force the British hand through acts of violence which simply cannot be ignored. But the government in southern Ireland—freed from British domination after years of sporadic rebellions in 1920—has publicly deplored the assassination of the elderly Mountbatten, one of Britain’s war heroes. The southern Republic of Ireland has thus even more vehemently declared all ties with the provisional IRA broken, perhaps out of well-founded fears of a backlash from terrorist groups in the British controlled Northern Ireland. Ulster (Northern Ireland) represents about onequarter of the Irish isle. Violence ‘commonplace’ The paramilitary forces in the North have responded to the Mountbatten assassination and the other recent acts of ferorism with renewed violence. The Ulster groups have again begun sneak attacks on the Catholic minority in the North. The Irish “troubles” arc often mistakenly viewed as a religious conflict rather than a political one. Although battle lines arc drawn between the Protestant and Catholic factions in the North, the Protestant majority is aligned with Britain while the Catholic minority protests discrimination in jobs and housing, and would generally favor a British withdrawal. Historically, even when the whole, of Ireland was a British colony, the North was populated primarily with Protestant British immigrants. Thus, the British elected to partition Ireland in 1920, releasing the South but retaining power in Ulster. r since the Protestants, who now outnumber the Catholics by about two to one in Ulster, would be cast into the dreaded position of the minority group But since the provisional IRA seems determined to stop at nothing to achieve its goals, the British are facet! with a no-win situation. In the meantime, the British must beef up security precautions while contending with growing resentment at home. The Pope is scheduled to stop in Ireland this week before arriving in the United States. Although he agreed not to travel to Nodh«xri Ireland, he refused to call off his visit to the extremely religious nfatip*- altogether. Security is expected to be ironclad during his visit to th& Repubbc of Ireland —Jerry Seely London conference; Rhodesia solutions in sight by Robbie Cohen When Zimbabwc-Rhodesia’s Minister without Portfolio, lan Smith stepped from a plane at London’s Heathrow Airport last week, he wasn’t apprehended for high treason. An immunity prosecution order, approved by Margaret Thatcher’s Conservative government, protected the feisty former Rhodesian Prime Minister from being arrested for his 1965 conviction —“ad absentium” —for leading a renegade breakaway from Britain’s colonial rule and setting up a white suprcmicist government, foiling England’s carefully laid plans for the establishment of a majority ruled independent nation Assuredly Smith was not jubilant about his return, since he no longer leads the nation he and other white Rhodesians conceived as a white bastion in darkest Africa No, the former RAF pilot was in London to help negotiate a reworking of the from new Rhodesian constituion which a few months ago allowed for a supposed transfer of power from minority white to majority black rule, in that embattled Southern African nation. White representation unacceptable The new government headed by Bishop Abel Muzorewa hopes to strike a compromise with the guerilla liberation forces of Joshua Nkomo and Robert Mugabe, who find the new setup—which guarantees continued white representation in the parliament and white control of the armed forces—unacceptable The guerillas have been fighting a bloody 20-year war with the white government and are intent on seeing all vestiges of white political power in their nation of Zimbabwe completely eradicated. The guerilla forcer, have opposed Muzorewa's new government from the start, but they surprisingly agreed to join in on the London conference convened by Britain and talk things over with the little Bishop—although they adamantly refuse to meet face to face with the detested Smith. The guerilla’s objective is the calling of new elections in which they would be permitted to slate their own candidates. The liberation forces were bain d from participation in last Spring’s balloting. Most observers cannot sec the conference of irreconcilables ending in anything other than acrimonious deadlock. The liberation fou e? want ultimate power in Rhodesia and they say they’ll achieve it whether by force or peaceful means. Intransigent whites like Smith, who still retains formidable political clou n the "majority rules government.’’ are certainly not willing ti , rpitulate If the torn country climaxes in a full scale war, the ites arc not going to go running—as the past fifteen years • ‘ guerilla raids and bloody Rhodesian Army retaliations illustrates. —continued on page 12-s �M jI Rhodesia solution g But then again, numerous accounts (especially by the New York Times) suggest the new British government would like to jf see the conference end in a stalemate.

(which has I cultivated a cordial relationship with Nkomo and Mugabe and is I further committed to their realization of power) and the prudent 6 advise of the influential British Foreign Minister Lord Carrington that made her retreat from this position. A stalemate, highlighted by guerilla intractibility would provide Thatcher with a rationale for sanctioning the bogus black government, thus fulfilling her campaign promises. If this should occur then the guerillas will see no other option but the struggle, possibly inviting help from the Soviet Union’s combat proxies in Africa, the Cubans. The U S. has been assiduously working to avoid this scenario, which is why Carter’s State Department is working to conclude a peaceful settlement involving the two guerilla leaders. continuation of the armed M < ■” & Yellow streaked chickens The prodigious white exodus from Zimbabwe-Rhodcsia is a cogent indication that many whites are sick and tired of the fight, A recent article about the white exodus in The New York Times asserted that the emigres are no longer condemned as yellow streaked chickens by their fellow white countrymen but rather arc seen as acting realistically. An analysis in Penthouse Magazine a few months ago predicted a bloody struggle • between the two guerilla factions’ ZANU, headed by Nkomo, and ZAPO founded by the more Marxist oriented Robert Mugabe, when the liberation forces eventually achieve victory. The Penthouse article underscores the tribal affiliations of the two political groups in that Nkomo’s ZANU is comprised of minority Shonas and Mugabe’s ZAPO of majority Urdu. The two tribes have been long time antagonists, the article emphasizes, and that’s why they have been unable to form a truly united front, even though their ultimate objectives more or less coincide. However, in a recent exclusive interview vdith Nkomo, also in Penthouse Magazine, the hefty guerilla leader dismissed any differences with Mugabe and attributed the fictional rift to malicious distortion in the western media. A peaceful and lasting resolution to the Zimbabwe civil war is imperative because of the potential for superpower confrontation. The involvement of Cuban troops in the southern African arena would be sure to elicit reaction from the U.S. and possibly shatter an already teetenng U.S.—Soviet detente. Congress approves dam despite harm to wildlife by Marc Sherman The TVA's official position has changed from one of active support for dam completion to merely presenting alternatives, according to Chris Eckl of the TVA. Eckl cited the “legislative uncertainty” that has placed the TVA in the precarious position of initially building the dam, only to be told by the same Congress to hah construction. The current bill to complete the dam is on President Carter’s desk, and there is “no indication” if he will veto the bill, according to Eckl. The Endangered Species Act has actually worked very well, with hundreds of potential conflicts resolved through the Fish arid Wildlife Service. Yet the successful cases don’t make headlines, leaving the public to judge the act through sensational cases such as the snail darter. Environmental Editor Congress’ recent decision to complete the Tennessee Tellico Dam will destroy the snail darter's habitat and cast a pall on the credibility of environmental legislation. The case has been presented as a caricature rather than reflecting on the serious issues it involves—the unappreciated wealth of biological diversity, misconceived public works projects, manipulation of economic analysis, and the tenuous enforcement of environmental laws; especially when “exemptions” to these laws arc becoming a routing political exercise. The obscure snail darter, a three inch long fish, was discovered several years ago and placed on the Federal Endangered Species List in 1975. Two years later a Federal court ordered the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) to cease construction, citing a clear violation of the Endangered Species Act. The act forbids Federal projects from destroying the sole habitat of an endangered species, whether it be plant or animal. TVA biologists then transplanted some snail darters into a nearby river where the population "is doing very well." But the Fish and Wildlife Service says it takes at least five years to accurately assess the darter’s survival there. Meg Williams told The Spectrum that "It’s difficult to get actual population estimates but so far we’ve noted a decrease in numbers. We’re not sure whether the decline is only temporary or a significant trend, but the darters are not exactly flourishing.” Concern for the snail darter about the dam’s feasibility and design The General Accounting Office (GAO) found that the cost of the nearco,mplcte dam would exceed alternative development for the area. Preserving the darter’s habitat by tearing down the dam and developing a park, water recreation, farmland, and archeological sites would generate jobs and cost $3 million less that completing the dam. The GAO also found that the generated controversy ANGELO’S Pizza Corner � 2435 Bailey Ave. at Wecker PIZZA SUBS � WINGS � TACOS Angelo’s Specials Buy 1 subs, get third FREE!

DiCarlo, who has won most of her games using the latter method, ran head with St. on Lawrence University’s Michelle Langdon, lost inthree sets, but gained the York, and battled it out for an entire afternoon before emerging triumphant, 6-4, 6-7, 6-2. They were both beautiful to watch,” admired UB coach Connie Camnitz. "They had excellent strokes, serves, volleys and placement.” While the two stars locked horns, the remainder of the Royals were in the process of getting a complete drubbing, compliments of St. Lawrence. In fact, DiCarlo and Langdon were still battling when the rest of the matches were through. “Everybody was watching,” Camnitz said, "By the time they were finished playing, everybody drive that has her anxiously anticipating the next time the two meet. The senior, Langdon, the top woman collegiate tennis player in the State, hooked up with DiCarlo in the first singles game of Saturday’s event in Canton, New considered who was done was watching, as well as a bunch of people who were coming to watch the football game there. There must have been 100 people around and it was very exciting,” Camnitz enthused. Despite losing, Camnitz felt DiCarlo had gained something in the nip and tuck match. “Debbie got a taste of the good players whom she’ll meet in the State and Eastern tournaments,” the coach said. “She’s really excited about that.” The tennis Royals warmed up for the St. Lawrence match by destroying Potsdam a day earlier, 6-1. After DiCarlo UB offense tramples Daemen The UB varsity soccer squad, working as a welloiled machine, shut out a novice Daemen College team, 8-0, Saturday at Rotary field. Resisting the natural inclination to ease off the pressure after building a three-goal lead at the half, the Bulls continued at the same pace, and scored five more tallies before the massacre finally ended. UB’s defensive unit took a well-earned rest during the contest, as action centered almost exclusively around the Daemen goal. Having fought desperately on their own goal line during the first two matches, the Buffalo fullbacks were able to roam the field against Daemen, thus adding to the offensive thrust. During the first half, UB forward Luis Azcue drew first blood, capitalizing on a first half penalty kick. Dave Gauss quickly added to the score, assisting on a goal by reserve goalie Ray Eckert, who made his UB debut at the forward position. Dave Simpkin crowned UB’s first half pounding with a sideline kick that sneaked in past the arms of a stunned Daemen goalie. More goals Starting off the second half scoring drive, UB’s Scott Bleyle nailed the ball past two defenders and the goalie to augment the Bulls’ lead to 4-0. At that time, Buffalo unveiled the BustamanteEckert duo, who closed out the show with an impressive exhibition. Midway through the second half, Javier Bustamante, a freshman from Peru who joined the team as a walk-on, twice picked his way through a maze of defenders and rifled the ball in—Buffalo’s fifth and sixth tallies. Ray Eckert finished off the visiting Daemen squad by fulfilling a goalie’s dream. Assisted by Luis Azcue and then Dave Simplin, UB’s reserve keeper put in the last two goals, ending what coach Sal Esposito summed up as a “total team effort.” The most unusual feature of the match was the large contingent of Daemen fans who vocally supported their team. Despite the lopsided score, the Daemen followers remained enthusiastic until the end, cheering the visitors’ efforts any time a team member touched the ball. On those rare occasions when the play was on UB’s half of the field, passions ran rampant, only to be quickly extinguished by a UB counter attack. Buffalo soccer resumes today against Canisius College, the second Big Four opponent UB faces, at Delaware Park at 4 p.m. —Dan Holder defeated Carol Haber in the opener, teammate Dee Dee Fisher repeated the feat as did third singles player Heidi Juhl. came to the conclusions that UB has to work cm the scoring facet of its game. “We are lacking the attacking punch,’' Dimmick remarked, “as First win well as the basic skills like Later in the doubles, Carol dodging, tackling and simple Waddell and Ann Kirkmaier took things like getting to the ball and a routine 6-3, 6-3 match, the finesse.’’ She did, however, point victory being Waddell’s first of out that the Royals traveled with the year. “Carol was very pleased only one sub, which she noted, she finally won a double,’’ “is no way to work a squad.” Camnitz emphasized.

Buffalo, who breezed through game one, 8-1, saw ace hurler Joe Hesketh pitch a solid seven innings only to come up a loser on the short end of a 2-0 score. In the opener, a fine combined pitching performance by Dennis Howard and Dave Rosenhahn, together with some timely hitting and excellent fielding paved the way for the victory. The Bulls clung to an early 1-0 lead through four innings as a result of a throwing error by the Dolphin shortstop allowing Gene Dudek to score for UB. Buffalo blew the game open with five runs in the fifth inning. Rosehahn keyed the attack when he doubled over the left fielder’s head, knocking in two runs. “I was really waiting for that curve ball,” recalled the UB designated hitter. “He really hung it.” When the explosive fifth inning had ended, the Bulls found themselves with a comfortable 6-0 lead. They went on to add two runs in the sixth frame, but lost their bid for a shutout as the Dolphins scratched out a seventh inning score. The second game featured a strong pitching duel between the Bulls' Hesketh and LeMoyne’s Bob Hayes. The Dolphins picked up the game's only two runs in the second, only one of which was charged as an earned run to Hesketh s record. Buffalo loaded the bases in the first inning on Joe Ward’s double and walks to Rudy Pettiford and Rosenhahn. However, the threat ended when Howard bounced into a fielder’s choice and Gregg Miller lined to short for the third out. The Bulls also threatened in the third inning, but that also went up in smoke. With runners on first and second with only one out, Rosenhahn hit a shot back to Hayes, who fired to second for the first leg of an eventual double play. Hayes handcuffed the UB nine the rest of the way. icing their bats that through seven games had been their mainstay. Hesketh pitched a fine game, allowing only three hits with the one earned run. “I pitched well enough to win." said the junior southpaw. “Our bats were really cooled off in the second game." Despite the lackluster hitting display, UB coach Bill Monkarsh and assistant Mike Groh both saw signs of liff in the Fall squad. “I’m very pleased with the desire and attitude on this team,” said Monkaresh. “We are building confidence and are working hard.” Groh specified, “We are playing really well in all areas, especially pitching and defense.” —Drew Lawsky SECURITY GUARDS unarmed guards, male/female for the Buffalo/Falls area. part time weekend. full time evening work phone needed Pinkerton s 403 Main St 852 1760 Equal opportunity employer r — FOR 20 YEARS MINDY'S - 742 Seneca St. HAS BEEN HELPING UINVERSITY PfcOPLE FIND jinici • REFRIGERATORS • RANGES • BEDS-MATTRESS-SPRINGS • DRESSERS* St. J x | SKY-DIVING INSTRUCTION AT WYOMING COUNTY PARACHUTE CENTER </> • KITCHEN SETS • LIVING ROOM SUITES • BEDROOM SUITES • RUGS • - || Open 6 days a week. £ Used Furniture - Fairly priced - Quality new (damaged carloads) AT PRICES THEY CAN AFFORD. ~ Cal Now For Reservations | 457-9680 We accept Empire, Master Charge, Bankamericard. 10% OFF Arran9emen,scanbemade,0rdeliverv, Member Bt.o.

I find the album as a package is solid refreshment. Like h makes me move. If I’m at home it makes me do some kind ofexercise with my body and it feels good. I mean this is cerebral music and Don is trying to pick out Richard Sohlk keyboard as making Patti somehow too vulnerablefor him. Don’t you think those people marching on Algiers were pretty vulnerable and don’t you think that maybe as a total experience the arrangement or production was possibly even bringing the composition even more validity? “Wav* is perhaps a misguided effort”?

But complain where it might do some good: Nightmare Productions’ address is Box 404, San Francisco, CA 94101. What in the world ever happened to the FREE Journey concert that Purdue University supposedly won thanks to the hard work of some individuals and their project to install curb cuts on the campus? The contest was held way back in 1977 and talking to a friend over a walkietalkie while partygoers Neil Young, Nicolette Larson and producer David Briggs among them celebrated kbung’s Rust Never Sleeps concert movie with hot dogs, sno-cones,' pizza and cotton candy. Staged in the chain-link enclosed lot of Bundy Rent-A-Wreck, an aberrant L.A. firm that specializes in dented Sixties Mustangs, Comets and falcons, the party was crashed by a curious TV news crew who found Vbung’s grinning mug squarely in front of their camera screeching, “Are there any celebrities here?” “Isn’t it sad,” a British journalist commented a few moments later, seeing McGuinn hunched over his walkie-talkie by the rear fender of a pink convertible, ’how Roger’s been reduced to working the security force?” et — Cruising — Al Pacino’S next film, Cruising, shooting in New York City, has recently been the focus of hostility, threats, and protests by the city’s homosexual community. Cruising, written and directed by William Friedkin (The Exorcist, French Connection) is the story of a New \brk detective trainee, Pacino, who investigates a series of brutal homosexual murders and in the course of his investigation according to an early script discovershis own homosexuality. The gay leaders in New Vbrk claim such a film might inspire similar violence to homosexuals in other times and places. So far, according to a spokesman for the production, there have been protests, but no disruption. The gay clubs originally chosen for local shooting have backed out of their commitment under pressure, and the company has changed locations. Now sources say the script has been slightly changed: Padno no longer turns gay, but whether thisis the result of the confrontation or just one more in a long series of script changes, no one will orcan say. Also, the principal members of the cast and crew now have bodyguards; although there have been no personals threats against Pacino and others, no chances are being taken. All this has created a considerable and-gay backlash, with one New Vbrk newspaper reporter claiming, “...a minority should be very aware of the rights of the other minorides...” The spokesman for the film added, “They can’t really object to the way gays are portrayed in the film because they haven’t seen the film, it isn’t finished.” It’s one thing to influence a film’s performance at the box office with protests, as deaf people recently did by agitating against Voices, but it is quite another thing censorship, violadon of the First — — — Amendment, even to attempt film from being made. — C 1979 AUn Weston Publishing, Inc.. 1680 N.

Previous Airports gave us a mid-air pilot transfer, an underwater airplane, a midair collision, and an exploding bomb. Here the needle-nosed aircraft is pursued by a heat-seeking drone (dispatched by Wagner’s company) and then by attack planes firing nasty little missiles.These unfriendly skies send the Concorde into two extended nose dives, two or three complete barrel rolls, two upside-downs, two spectacular landings and several explosions.

So, for that matter, are the Rolling Stones. And so is Bruce Springsteen. But neither the Stones nor Springsteen are at issue here. Therefore, we take as a given that the Who is the greatest rock band in the history of the known world. With that fact as a given, it is with great pleasure that I can take note that the greatest rock band in the history of the known world is something less than perfect.

And the Who cuts on that album, 20 of them, range from raw amateur to ripe professional. It’s a pleasure to follow those cuts, for even at their least professional the Who are alive with a spirit that few bands can even approach today. For all their mincing, prancing and cavorting, acts like Ted Nugent, Aerosmith and Vhn Halen are mere poseurs next to the Who. Even the Sex Pistols and the Clash, armies of the night in a world of disco, don’t approach the sheer energy exerted by the Who on classics like “My Generation,” “Magic Bus,” and “Baba O’Riley.” I’m glad the Who released this album with all their warts showing. When they slip, when they miss, it makes their many triumphs worth all the more. Merlll Shlndlar Nick Gilder Frequency (Chrysalis) None of the tracks on Nick Gilder’s third album sound remotely like his recent huge hit single “Hot Child in the City.” Instead he’s chosen to make a pop record that sounds slightly reminiscent of T. Rex and a whole lot like David Bowie of five or six years ago. The songs and arrangements are not so innovative now and not at all startling, but they are not bad. Gilder and guitarist James McCulloch compose well together. They’ve a fine sense of the catch-you hook and turn out eminently listenable songs like 'Watcher of the Night’ and “Metro Jets.” This last song, for some unnameUe reason, brings “Wild Things” (yes, the Chip Taylorpenned TVoggs’ classic) to mind and is the LPs best cut by a landslide. On the other hand, Frequency's not without static of the pop drivel kind and is fairly jammed with adolescent refrains like “Don’t keep secrets/Make our worlds collide.” . Riffs-you’ve-heard-before you can hear again and again on this one; overall the musicians sound uninspired and a little ured. Tasteful but unoriginal use is made of a vocal chorus throughout, most notably on “The Brightest Star,” which is blessed with an interesting arrangement and lyric (“\bu’re too busy making scenes, lightly dancing over dreams/Everybody says you could be the brightest star”). The annoying thing about this album is that while some of it is good, more of it is the kitjd of blather that can be somewhat successfully made to sound mindlessly OK by superb produedon (which it has). Can’t help but wonder why Gilder’s high standards weren’t evenly applied. Alison Wlckwlrs — Communique boasts the same classy sound ofDire Straits but Knopfler's songs are far less interesting and even his striking lead guitar is less exciting. The best tracks —“Lady Writer" and 'Angel of Mercy"— are little more than slight variations off the best songs from the first album. Dire Straits' commercial future may be assured but the band desperately needs to broaden their sound and take some of the creative pressure off Knopfler's shoulders to avoid becoming mired in a stylistic rut. The Cars fare marginally better on their second outing. Some of the obvious derivativeness (i.e., the Roxy Music influence) has been stripped from the sound and replaced by a more overt Sixties pop feel, but Candy-0 still doesn’t measure up to their debut. Ric Ocasek's melodies are less distinctive, the bemused irony of his lyrics less stimulating and the greatest problem of the first album, an overwhelming sameness of tempo, surfaces again here. “LeA Go," “Got a Lot on My Head” and “The Dangerous Type” are the highlights but the remaining songs don’t deposit much in the memory banks. — Don Snowdon Nick Lowe Labour of Lust (Columbia) Dave Edmunds Repeat When Necessary (Swan Song) Lowe and Edmunds are the twin figureheads of Rockpile, the British quartet (also featuring guitarist Billy Bremner and drummer Terry Williams) that’s the best rock and roll band in the classic Chuck Berry-rockabillityr&b-derived mold in the world these days. Rockpile is the backing unit on both these LPs and the result is a pair of strong, eminently enjoyable albums. Labour of Lust is a far more unified effort than the scatter-shot eclecticism of Lowe's solo debut last year. There’s still plenty of Dike Straits variety, ranging from his Communique (Warner Bros.) trademark pure pop (“Cruel to The Cars Be Kind’’) and soppy ballads Candy-O (Elektra) (“\bu Make Me”) to second-line Both Dire Straits and the Cars New Orleans r&b (“Big Kicks, Plain Scrap”).

The Welsh guitarist doesn’t write hisown songs but he has a marvellous knack of making ancient material sound more modern and vice versa. By and large Edmunds has selected well this time out. Elvis Costello’s “Girls Talk” isn’t really suited to his style but Graham torker’s ode to a man and his car (“Crawling from the Wreckage”) is right up his alley with its clipped rhythm guitars and pissedoff vocals. There’s a stronger countryrockabilly flavor than usual running through Repeat. Hot Band steel guitarist Hank Devito contributes a pair of tunes and Albert Lee adds a slithery lead guitar solo to a strong version of ‘Sweet Little Lisa." Elsewhere Edmunds displays his mastery of traditional pop (“Take Me for a Little While") and raunchy Chicago blues (“Bad Is Bad”). Repeat When Necessary doesn’t quite have the personality of Edmunds’ earlier Get It, but a hunger for high-quality rock and roll can be satisfied by following the instructions given in the title. Pistols were in their teens. With this LP he (and James) have picked up the fallen standard of rock y roll and made it fly. "1 gotta hardass pair of shoulders, I gotta love you can’t imagine/!’m looking for one new value but nothing comes my way.” Oh Iggy, at last. Alison Wlckwlre Electric Light Orchestra Discovery (Jet Records) The Electric Light Orchestra has always fielded an interesting array of musicians; some have nothing more in common with one another than a background in classical or rock music and a desire to merge the two. The Electric Light Orchestra’s eighth album. Discovery, has been trimmed, with only group leader Jeff Lynne, drummer Bev Bevan, keyboard player Richard Tandy and bassist Kelly Groucutt remaining. Touring last summer for Out of the Blue, the group numbered seven. Unfortunately, the only "discovery” this slimmed-down grouping makes is of ELO’s shortcomings. To be fair, “Last Train to London” is a gorgeous piece of commercial rock that ranks as one of ELO’s catchiest tunes.

Yachts’ concerns are with decidedly “old school” British trappings, making their nautical moniker all the more appropriate. Lyrics are rife with references to the upper crust (“Tantamount to Bribery,” “Heads Will Turn”) and rampant with hauteur. Yachts are about as far removed from the Clash’s angry working class politics as a band can get. But beneath all the effeteness, behind all the tongue-in-cheek chatter. Yachts play with a bouncy elan that belies their social indifference transforming their misanthropic, self-centered disclaimers of affection into just what they’re pretending not to be: obsessive admissions of warm, passionate love. Yachts was produced by Richard Gottehrer (Blondie, Robert Gordon) and booms out of the speakers with solid, punchy aplomb. While Sixties influences are apparent (Dave Clark Five,? and the Mysterians and fellow Liverpudlians,the Beades) Vkchts have set sail under a power that’s all their own. — Steven X. Rea The B-52’s The B-52’s (Warner Bros.) Devo do “Secret Agent Man” on their latest LB but the tune really belongs to five Georgians who call themselves the B-52’s.

The two girl/three guy outfit writes songs with lyrics comparable to verses from a first grade poetry class. “Rock Lobster,” a crustacean homage to beach parties, goes in part: “We were at the beach/Everybody had matching towels/Somebody went under a dock/And there they saw a rock/It wasn’t a rock/it was a rock lobster.” “Planet Claire” tells the story of a girl who hails from outer space. How can they tell? Because she drives a Plymouth Satellite “faster than the speed of light.” Hey, but of course.

On the heels of his successes with hit singles like “Philadelphia Freedom," “The Bitch Is Back,” and “Don't Go Breaking My Heart" (which borrowed from theBell production style), it came as little or no surprise in 1977 to hear that Elton had set the plans for a collaboration with Bell himthe three self. That’s right songs on this platter were all recorded more than two years ago, and only released after a remix in Londdn by Clive Franks and Elton John. Apparently John was insulted or disturbed by an undue emphasis on the Spinners’ backup vocals, as originally mixed by Bell. Certainly this is understandable in light of the stagy, vacuous adolescence of John’s own singing—'it brands the whole package as the work of a bored prima donna. The longest cut, “Are You Ready for Love,” is a textbook example of taking a good thing too far. Bell has used stereotypical riffs before in his records with people like the O’Jays and the Stylistics, but they came off because of the singers’ authentic emotion.

The second happened before the Dregs did a satirical encore complete with ensemble kicks and twirls. Bassist Andy West, who handles most introductions for the group, stepped up to the mike and said, “Disco sucks, and you know itl” It was as if he had thrown fistfuls of hundred-dollar bills into the crowd. Dregs fans think of themselves as being a little more sophisticated than the average disco-goer or Ted Nugent fan and without a doubt their Atlantean heroes deliver an ambitiously structured music. They put in a strong, spirited Roxy set covering some hard-rocking territory, some grandiloquent rhapsodizing, touches of down-home bluegrass licks, and much more. Steve Morse, the Dregs superb lead guitarist, in his stage presence and attitude toward rhythmic support resembles such past masters as Roy Buchanan and Steve Cropper, both comparatively impassive individuals visually. The energy each saves by not gyrating and posturing is devoted to playing guitar. Morse’s brief — away over it like Flatt and Scruggs at the helm of a 747. Violinist Alan Sloan sawed off a series of traded bars with Morse that left listeners wondering how his strings remained intact. Christopher Kathaman Ian Hunter Santa Monica Civic Auditorium, Los Angeles Ian Hunter played the rock star role to the hilt during his Mott the Hoople days, but with an air of unpretentious self-awareness that cemented an exceptionally strong bond between him and the audience. That bond helped the veteran British rocker through some rocky passages in an inconsistent but ultimately winning performance at the sold-out Santa Monica Civic. Hunter and chief collaborator Mick Ronson were forced to hurriedly assemble this seven-piece ensemblewhen You’reNever Alone with a Schizophrenic skyrocketed into the Top 100 and, predictably, the band is still going through some teething problems.

On NIKI NDC PROUD AS A PEACOCK �Getting theWords Out: Good & Great Writing Today by the basic contradictions of professed Fred Setterberc American literary critics are fond of drawing circles around our nation’s golden ages. They argue that it all really began with Emerson and Thoreau, these great gluts of talent that seem to crop up every few years and crystallize the national experience with a definitive novel, a particular way of seeing, a prose style. Following the Transcendentalists there were Twain, Howells, and Henry James at midcentury, then Dreiser, Jack London, and the social realists. In our own age, and most conspicuously, there has been the continuing influence of Hemingway and company. Like grapes, the really important writers seem always to come in neatly packed bunches. Such are the orderly benefits of viewing literary history through the artificial lens of the decade. By embracing this tactic we can turn the unruly factors of the talent into artifacts, measureable commodities hot off the production line of the imagination. It is all very neat, but it is not very real. Good writing does not necessarily align itself with the demanding theories of critics and social historians. And anyway, there are many people who firmly believe the evidence that good and great writing is produced during most any age. Even our age. The problem now, as always is getting the word out. — — Pieces of the Whole: The Short Stories of James Alan McPherson James Alan McPherson is a case in point. morality and actual conduct, man and woman, most parent and child, and obviously, black and white. The stories’ urgent needs for resolution express the ambitions of our age. McPherson shows the love between a man and woman to be a powerfully compressed equivalent of the individual's relationship to the world, a literary context in whichthe personal is political. As Ralph Ellison has asserted, this especially fine short story may reveal “more about the spiritual condition ofAmericans during the 1960sthan is to be found in most novels.” Shady Jokers Anyone who has taken a Shakespeare course should be able to recall this pointed advice: Watch out for the clowns, they are dead serious. Joking through the apocalypse is one of the great literary traditions, and in our own age we have had a bounty of practitioners. Don DeLillo is one ofmy current favorites, and this is how his characters engage reality: 'T’ve had conversations with the guy.

Neither of Janwillem vanis de these writers exactly unknown among suspense buffs, but they have not yet crossed over to the wider general readership which they probably deserve. Dutchman van de Wetering has also written two books about his experiences as a serious student of Zen (The Empty Mirror and A Glimpse of Nothingness) and perhaps it is this perspective that informs his work with a flavor more tarried and deliberating than his American counterpart. His novels, starting with Outsider in Amsterdam, are as convincing in a procedural sense as they are temperate in philosophy —the former characteristic, at least partially the result of van de Wetering’s moonlighting as a sergeant on Amsterdam’s Special Constabulary. His most recent novel is The Maine Massacre. Joe Gores also worked some years as a private investigator. The locale for many of his taut, often extremely violent novels is the San Francisco Bay Area —another piece of linkage to Gores’ apparent mentor, the prototype for every detectiveturned-author, Dashiell Hammett. In fact, Gores'best and probably most widely read novel is Hammett, an ingenious work that employs the ex-Pinkerton as a fictional character cracking a sordid case of slavetrading while putting the finishing touches on his own Red Marxist. This is the early Hammett, another embodiment of all the vices and virtues that we usually associate with Nick Charles ofThe Thin Man. The political sympathies that brought the real-life Dashiell Hammett so many problems in later life receive no mention here, nor does his involvement with a certain lady playwright. But what we do enjoy remains a work of compelling historical suspense by a writer whose stories are Time recently reported a literary prank in which a Los Angeles freelancer pseudonymously submitted for publication a freshly typed, untided copy of Jerzy Kosinski’s 1969 National Book Award winner, Steps. The manuscript was rejected by 14 publishers and 13 literary agents. The point being that it’s damned hard to get a first novel published, previous award winners notwithstanding. Unfortunately, the message can be carried one step further. Once published, first novels also have a difficult time getting reviewed and read, and many a good book ends up on the onedollar sale table at your local bookstore. I’d like to mention one recent first novel that has suffered this fate because its experience points up the situation for so many other promising writers. Alice Hoffman’s Property Of is a tense, ferocious novel about the self-sufficient values of a New York street gang called the Orphans as told through the romantic but never sentimental perceptions of a teenaged whose involvement with the gang President, McKay, leads her unblinkingly through murder, rape, various betrayals, and heroin use. The harshest facts of urban life have been stated many times over, from The Young Manhood of Studs Lonigan to Looking for Mr. Goodbar, but it is not the obvious violence and its corresponding code of honor that give this particular book its great interest. Rather, it is the understated portrait of adolescence that the nameless narrator embodies as she searches for the Orphans while “Snow was falling and the moon was howling light or as she pines over her onto the dangerous beau: “I could conjure the name, the sound of his bootheels on the cement; I could recite the number of the license plate of his ’69 Chevy in my sleep.” Passion is always mixed with irony, the dreams of growing-up hedged by the likelihood of an early grave. Though Hoffman’s novelistic world is peculiar and grim, she manages to convey the broad experience of growing up frantic, every act fraught with keenness and risk. In some sense, she speaks to the style in which we all matured. Now this book —like too many others deserves a wider audience. But despite generally good reviews and excerpts in reputable magazines, Property Of has not enjoyed a great deal of circulation. The loss, of course, does not solely affect Alice Hoffman, nor for that matter, any other relatively unknown yet talented author. It affects everyone. Sadly, short of sparking insurrection within the publishing business there seems to be very litde we can dp about it. Perhaps the best solution is a simple one: keep cars and eyes open, take chances, pass along the gold.To be sure, the losses will continue, but maybe we can skim some winnings off the top.^ Fred Setterberg u a free lance writer who lives in Oakland, where he is also program coordinator for the And nobody does it like Earl Klugh. “Heart String’.’ UA-LA942-H — East Bay Center for the Performing Arts.

When the low-budget screamer was released, it turned out to be every film student’s fantasy: it earned a bundle of money and had the critics particularly thosewith an understanding of cult and B movies sitting up and saying, “hey, look, that fellow can directl Earning a reputation for the goriest movie ever made, the film soon became an oh-nonot-again fixture on the revival film circuit. The movie: Night of the Living Dead. That one movie made Romero a legend in certain horror movie film circles. His outrageous sense of the macabre, his fearless blood-letting and his strong allegorical underpinnings put him in a class with the masters of the genre. That first film wasn’t a fluke. Romero went on to make another classic little venture titled Martin, a vampire movie which, pre-dating Anne Rice’s novel Interview with a Vampire by several years, also took up the plight of a modern-day Nosferatu trying to survive ever-changing times. Martin came complete with a nightly phone call to a discjockey who just loved interviewing the vampire, and gave us a cameo performance by Romero as a local Pittsburgh priest who doesn’t believe in exorcism. Martin was shopped at the Cannes Film Festival in 1972, and quickly went into the black. But the real breakthrough for Romero, in terms of the established order, came earlier this year with the release of Dawn of the Dead, the second part to that threetiered terror. Shot in dazzling color, at a budget of almost $1 million, Dawn did what every movie studio executive hopes a film will do: it became an overnight blockbuster. Full page ads in the Hollywood trade papers attested to its dollar value: |4.5 million in two weeks; $11 million in two months. In Japan alone it did nearly $2 million in less than a week. Dawn of the Dead's success came at just the right moment to catch Hollywood’s attention. This past summer almost every major studio was struggling to cash in on the horror film market, from the heights ofAlien to the depths of Prophecy. King Gore was ruling the gilded roost and Romero’s credentials made him a viable heir-apparent. So Romero, fulfilling every independent movie maker’s secret ambition, came to Hollywood to do a little flirting. Like a dutiful daughter not certain whether she — — ” intentions. Romero doesn't want to make the mistakes he’s seen other mavericks commit when asked to run with the pack Tobe Hooper, who directed Texas Chain Saw Massacre, signed a three-picture deal and then was never heard from again. Michael Miller, who helmedJackson County Jail, thought he was making the breakthrough when he signed to direct The Eyes of Laura Mars, only to be fired before production began by hairdresser-turnedproducer Jon Inters. Romero doesn’t want to make the plunge so fast he breaks his neck. With a certain appealing irony he says he has no desire to be this year’s resident genius. He would like to make a deal with a major studio that guarantees him freedom and money, two commodities that often seem mutually exclusive when signed with a major film studio. “I don’t want a development deal,” he says, turning his back on the ambition of at least half Hollywood’s gate crashers. “We have cash to buy any property we want and if the budget is small enough we can even make the movie. What we’re doing here is feeling around and I’m not sure if they're ready to give me thekind of budget on the kind of property I like. What we’re doing is seeing if we can find a home.” Romero views the major’s sudden interest in horror films with amusement and he scoffs at Newsweek i revelation that horror movies are a new phenomenon and are suddenly hot business. “That’s hooey,” he insists. “Nothing’s changed. Horror stuff always worked, but in the past they’ve come from Crown International, Dimension or Joe Brenner. Now the big studios are producing them. That’s the only difference. Everyone says B movies have disappeared, but in reality, it’s the A movies that have disappeared. All that’s happening is the big studios are producing B movies elevated to major productions.” But while Newsweek and other such pundits are finding all sorts of sinister meanings hidden in the public’s thirst for horror, Romero finds its acceptance a blessing. Not so surprising, he only turned to horror films because “no one wanted to finance my scripts which were really going to set everyone straight.” Betraying his Sixties activist bent, he says, “the horror film has always been an anarchistic prototype. Any force that suddenly comes in and shatters what's going on from the outside, symbolically shatters the establishment, and that’s ter- rific. Because unless that happens, Dead, unless, of course, as I once said we’re in a bad way. That celebration of anarchy is hopeful, even if it's an evil facetiously.

Jacobs Atlas In this day of instant celebrity, where people with as little claim to interest as Margaret IVudeau become media darlings, it’s difficultfor us to understand the major role played by a group of English eccentrics just after World War I. But without question, a handful of men and women dominated their cultural scene with a vibrancy that still fascinates. Some were very talented, like the mistress of Bloomsbury, Virginia Woolf. Some were merely beautiful, like the very wealthy and very controversial Nancy Cunard. What they shared was the limelight, and none claimed that focus more passionately than the Sitwells: Edith, Osbert and Sacheverell. Their names alone conjure up images of strange, bizarre people; although the poems and plays they left behind are rarely known to anyone outside devoted English Lit majors, the Sitwells’ greatest contribution to art was their own lives theirability to seize the moment and play it for what it was. The Sitwells: A Family’s Biography by John Pearson (Harcourt Brace Jovanovich, $15.00) ably illustrates what set this trio apart. Aside from their formidable appearance (Virginia Woolf once described Edith as “a clean hare’s bone that one finds on a moor withemeralds stuck to it") and their serviceable writings, their lives intertwined with all the artistic titans of their day, from D.H. Lawrence to T.S. Eliot to Serge Diaghilev.They lived a richly textured life on a grand scale in a manner totally foreign to today’s standards. It seems almost inconceivable that Edith and Osbert lived into the Sixties. The children of a repressively belligerent father and a naively impulsive mother, the Sitwells broke barriers of class and breeding to claim their place in the sun. Edith’s story is particularly touching. She was considered so ugly as a child her father, refused to look at her; in accordance with Victorian standards, she was put in a back brace and a nose brace to try to “correct” her natural failings. It’s perhaps Edith's story of rebellion and growth that holds the most interest today: she seems a prototype for women struggling to find a place for themselves against formidable odds. She made the climb admirably. She became a major celebrity, a Dame of the British Empire and a darling of society. She also became a first-rate critic and essayist. Sacheverell married and raised a family; the homosexual Osbert lived abroad, where such irregularities were considered more Well, there’s a lot of Catholics running around loose out there (this reviewer, for one), and there’s a lot of poets, though not so many as there are Catholics of course, and if you stop to consider these two facts together then it isn’t exacdy surprising to think that there’s even a fair herd of folks on the prowl in open space who are both Catholics and poets. Eugene J. McCarthy, that Eugene J. McCarthy, isn’t exactly a Catholic and a poet, but is or was a Catholic and a man who strives to be a poet (and, it must be said, falls about as far short of that goal as he did of that other noble goal he had, back around 1968). Geoffrey Hill is more than a Catholic and a poet: He is a Catholic poet a man who draws vocabulary, rules of reasoning, and lineaments of spiritual integrity from his faith. Hill’s new collection, Tenebrae (Houghton MifBin, $7.95), includes four sequences ofpoems and six shorter works. The language is spare and almost cold sometimes (the way the stone floor of an old church is cold inspiring a hintof chill but seeming at the same time somehow solid, reassuring —), but can be stunningly intricate with its internal rhymes and clattering rhythms. (“...The red-coat devotees, melees of wheels,” appear in one sonnet; in another, "On blustery lilacbush and terrace-urn/bedaubfed with bloom Linnaean pentecosts/put their pronged light;...”) Hill has been called “the strongest British poet now alive” and "the monumental English poet of the latter 20th century.” I believe that his concerns are far too, shall we say, parochial for that, and that his studied simplicity sometimes nags banality but his care and purity are impressive, and the human elegance with which he limns the sublime deserves respect. The best that can be said about exsenator McCarthy as a versifier is that he is kind-hearted, right-thinking, and well— — . — Catholics @ Poets acceptable. This is an enviable biography, written with clarity, wit and drama.

Mortoy JenM ’* d — Trivia, Variety Necrophilia “Why am I writing this book?” asks William Saroyan in Obituaries (Creative Arts Book Co., $7.95), a haphazard recollection of the showbiz personalities registered in Ifiriety’s Obituary list of 1976. "To save my life, to keep from dying of course. That is why we get up in the morning.” There aren’t many people with the audacity and the verve to explore, with the written word, that single aspect of life which is beyond all known experience; death. And there aren’t many people like 69-year-old Saroyan, whose reflections upon life’s Final Mystery have undoubtedly been growing along with his anticipation of it. Variety's Necrology Pantheon serves as the springboard from which one of America’s (and Armenia’s) finest writers, or so he would love to be considered, lets his mind, and his pen, ramble meanderingly and for the most part disrespectfully about living, dying and looking for a meaning in both. From Agatha Christie (“the Dame thrived on champagne and oysters”) to Howard Hughes (“he finally became grotesque”) to Adolph Zukor (“during all of his long years he did nothing, really, at all”) wc follow Saroyan's reminiscences of former friends, enemies and even those, not on the list, who enter the scheme by association. Underlining the effort, of course, is a thinly disguised mockery of logic which fits the subject matter most mirthfully. To theorize about the inconceivable through language is simply ludicrous. What can you say? Accordingly, Saroyan plays with the reader, teasing our sensibilities with satire aimed at the absurdity of both Death and Variety’s selectivity within its all- \je.the epnoRs, THAW Too So Much for THB /lANUScRlfT Too SENT os. * 1979 ir uas admirable-.

Klass and B.F. Skinner. Also fellows of the committee are SF giants Isaac Asimov and L. Sprague dd Camp, and the magician James “The Amazing” Randi, who specializes in exposing Uri Geller-type “psychics.” Former Science News editor Kendrick Frazier brings six years of experience to the task of editing Skeptical Inquirer (formerly The Zetetic) and the result is a lively and informative quarterly that will be of lasting interest long after the National Enquirer and its ilk are blown to dust. With emphasis on the skeptical, the Inquirer looks into a variety of paranormal subjects, including such old favorites as ESP astrology and UFOs, plus a host of relative newcomers such as Wlikovsky, the Bermuda triangle, the Amityville horror and the ever-popular Ancient Astronauts. Vfeteran science journalist Frazier leads off each issue with some News and Comments on the latest wave of paranormality, followed by some hard looks at specific cases by writers like UFO-killer Klass, psychicslayer Randi and such notables as James E. Oberg, a computer/space science specialist; William Sims Bainbridge, a University of Washington sociologist; and Paul Kurtz, a philosopher and chairman of CSICOP In addition to the feature articles, the Inquirer continues the attack in its book editorials, news items and even the letter column, although here there are occasional dissenting voices raised in defenseof the paranormal The main shortcoming of Skeptical Inquirer is in fact this singlemindedness thatsometimes seems to go beyond scientific examination into an inquisition mentality ready to stamp out all signs of paranormal heresy. Granted reviews, that 95 percent of paranormal claims are balony or outright fraud, and granted there is a crying need for a group like CSICOP and publications like the Inquirer I still wish I didn’t sense that quiver of fanaticism in some of the articles... But, no matter.

When the lads aren’t terrified of monsters they’re plotting dire and suitable revenge on Ernest, certainly one of the more despicable fat slobs in recent fiction. The Main Chance (Viking, $9.95) promises political, romantic and journalistic thrills; after all, author Jules Witcover is a political journalist, and a good one. This, his first novel, should convince him to remain a political journalist. His plot is simple-minded (ace reporter covers bid for re-election by a deposed president who believes, with some justification, that ace reporter was instrumental in deposing him), his characters not quite fleshy enough for cardboard. The ace reporter drinks a lot, is cynical but with a soft heart, is great in bed and is, of course, a perfecto journalist. When ace reporter’s young partner leaves to manage his senator brother’s bid for the presidency, ace reporter promotes their lissome female researcher to partner status, and it is her unbridled ambition that gives the book its title and creates general ruination. But before she screws up, she screws the ace reporter in an embarrassingly corny scene. She claims, emotionally, that he’s the best she’s ever had, the first to give her “the big O.” Honest. I wouldn’t make this up. I saved the best for last. The Dogs of March (Viking, $9.95) is the first novel by Ernest Hebert, who lives in Keene, New Hampshire, also the scene of his book. Hebert’s not-so-simple tale revolves around Howard Elman, an uneducated man betrayed by modern times, forced to cope with unemployment, the alienation of his children’s affections by a rich-lady neighbor, his wife’s hysterical paralysis, the threatened loss of his property and a host of smaller annoyances. Hebert writes about working class people, particularly Elman, without anger or condescension, but with understanding, sympathy, clarity. Hebert uses words and uses them very well to convey the sense and feeling, the inarticulate rage and frustration of a man who is ignorant and afraid of words. These people aren’t winners or losers, they savor their little triumphs and try to cope with their setbacks. I was sorry to come to the end of The Dogs of March. I only hope Hebert writes another book, soon. — response Reduced distortion.

On the contrary, these two bud■ ding rock fef roll starlets are quite chummy. Lovkh did some nifty harmonies on Sweet's current Fool Around LP and each professes admiration for the other’s work. But, even though they’re significandy unalike in some ways, the parallels in their careers invite, almost demand, comparison. With both of their impressive debut albums released simultaneously in England six months ago and more recently in the U.S. (Lovkh on StifiXEpic, Rachel on Stiff/Columbia), neither denies the existence of “friendly competition.” They may never raise their dukes, but with what these two women have to offer there’s almost bound to be a skirmish, at least on the charts. The most obvious thing Lovich and Sweet have in common is the circuitous route by which both brought their talents Although they first earned fame in Great do,” she says) and Lovich seems bent on Britain, both hail not just from the U.S.. exercising that freedom to the limit. but from that same stretch of industrial Not that her pop roots aren’t so firmly bleakness which comprises the northern entrenched as Sweet’s—she did, after part of the American Midwest. Lovkh was all, cover the Tommy James and the born in Detroit in 1949 (on her recent Shondells AM nugget “I Think We’re promotional tour she visited friends and Alone Now” and Nick Lowe’s Fiftiesrelatives there for the first time in nearly inspired “Tonight” on her Stateless LP a decade) but now makes her home in but far more affecting is the original London, while Sweet still resides, when ratified, modernistic material she brings not touring or recording, in Rubto light. Chiefamong these are such clever ber City Akron, Ohio home of Devo, compositions as “Lucky Number” (a top Tin Huey, et al. Only 17, Sweet has been ten hit in England),“Home,” and“One in a involved in one form of show business or 1,000,000,”the result of a collaboration another for 10 years, a bit longer than the with her guitarist/keyboardist/ elder Ms. Lovkh. producer/fiance Les Chappell. If The other basic similarity between these Stateless is a bit rough or off-beat for chanteuses is that both were unleashed some tastes, some of it may be exthrough the auspices of Stiff, that most plained by the fact that 90 per cent of eccentric of British record labels, the album is comprised of demo tapes the same outfit that introduced Elvis produced by the band, none of whom had Costello, Ian Dury, Wrcckless Eric and any previous practical experience in the others. Of the two, Lovich is more studio. “We were working in the dark a lot,” severe and consciously artistic; Stiff Lovich readily admits. Considering the affords its artists an uncommon degree outcome, the presumption is that her next of -£reedonv<“they never tell me what to LR currently being recorded under more — — — professional circumstances in London, could be an absolute blockbuster. The daughter of a Yugoslav father and an English mother who later split up, Lovich returned with her mother to England at age 13 where she eventually enrolled in art school. It was there that she learned to play both saxophone and violin, while making the acquaintance of Chappell, with whom she fell into several divergent bands and in love. Although Stateless refers literally to Lovich’s lack of a passport at the time it was recorded (she has since renewed her U.S. citizenship), she explains further that ‘each song is about a different emotional state of mind.‘Stateless’ means that there’s a variety of emotions to look at.” Lovich’s description makes Stateless sound like another of those conceptualized British art-rock artifacts, but the LP is rescued from such a fate by the directness of the songs and by the alluring, albeit quirky, warmth in Lovich’s voice. An additional reason Stateless does not have a contrived, art-school aura is that there was a healthy �September, 1979 span between Lovich’* exit from school and the launching of her solo career. It simply took Lovich and Chappell a while to settle on their idiosyncratic, synthesized rock style and to find the proper niche for it in the musical martketplace. They found that niche with the aide of Charlie Gillett (author of Sound of the City and Making Tracks), the British musicologist/disc-jockey/entrepeneur whose Oval Records supported the re- the drive-ins. More conventional and, yes, cuter, than Lovich, Sweet works confidently in her more basic rock style. It is 20 Albums Introduce the ANGEL 45 rpm 12" Album — — . cording of the demo which became Stateless.Gillett, whose knack for spotting potential at an early stage of an artist’s development led him to ‘discover’ such luminaries as Graham Parker, Dire Straits and Ian Dury, among others, contacted Lovich on the basis of an advertisement she ran on his now-defunct BBC radio show. She did a couple of gigs with a large ensemble called the Oval Exiles before splintering off with Les to form her own group. “Up until then,” says Lene, “I had tried to sing on various occasions but I was always shouted down. Charlie encouraged me to pursue it.” Gillett also put Lovich together with |immy O’Neill, author of Stateless tracks “Telepathy” and “Say When,” which latter song has become a staple of Lovich’s live show, with British audiences mimicking the exaggerated arm movements with which Lovich accompanies the song like a gym class doing calisthenics. “It’s hard to find songs w ritten by somebody else that you feel good about,” says Lovich, “but 1 liked ‘Say When’ straightaway. It was originally written for Suzi Quatro, you know.” Interestingly, O’Neill is now the leader of Fingerprint/, the Virgin recording group currently backing up Rachel Sweet. The plot thickens. While not involved in the women’s movement or politics per se (she says she believes in “people power”), Lovich is acutely aware of being a female in a traditionally male-dominated business. Although some observers feel her on-stage flamboyance plays into sexist stereotypes, “I concentrate on theatrics because I want people to know that I’m serious,” Lovich says. "The atmosphere is much healthier now than it once was. Up until recently, women had to be monsters they either had to be very aggressive and stomp around and swear a lot on stage (i.e., be like men) or they had to stand there in a revealing dress and look sweet and cute and sexy (i.e.,/or men). I’m an extremist anyway. 1 just don’t like to be caught in the middle.” In other words, Lovich doesn’t mind being a monster (with her black pigtails, flowing dark garments, wide beautiful eyes and dramatic make-up, she sometimes resembles Morticia of the Addams Family) so long as she is a monster of her own creation. In addition to her second album, which Chappell promises will be “a bit heavier, with two added keyboards,” Lovich has also begun making a film with German recording star Herman Brood (who recendy loured the U.S. with his band, the Wild Romance). Lovich and Dutch punk star Nina Hagen portray terrorists who “use music as a cover for subversive activities. Chappell, who is strikingly bald and likes to wear black shirts with white ties, was perfecdy cast as the getaway driver of the terrorist gang’s car. Since the dialogue is in German, Dutch and English, sometimes all in the same scene, wide distribution of the film in the U.S. is unlikely. If the Lene Lovich film is destined for the underground theaters, any Rachel Sweet movie would be routed direcdy into easy to forget Sweet’s tender age, especially when one notes that the original, Britisn version of heralbum bears the dominating mark of Liam Sternberg, a friend of Sweet’s family from Akron, who wrote 7 of the LP’s 11 songs and produced. The assumption might be that Sweet is a gifted, probably mindless prodigy whose career is less in her own hands than in a mentor's. But the American version of Fool Around finds Mr. Sterberg’s role reduced, and word has it that he may not be involved in Rachel’s follow-up, working instead with Kirsty McColl (daughter of English folkie Ewan McColl), also a Stiffartist. Besides, it would be a grave error to think that Sweet is not the mistress of her own career; she knows what she wants commercial success and she's got the tools to get it: a winning smile and a voice somewhat reminiscent of Brenda “I’m Sorry” Lee. Any notion remaining that the precocious Akronite is merely a voice, a studio sweetheart, was completely shattered by her recent mid-summer U.S. tour. With Jimmy O’Neill’s Fingerprint/ laying down a firm backbeat, the diminutive Sweet (she’s approximately five feet tall) rocked out in fine fashion. In L. A., her rendition of Elvis Costello’s “Allison” (right in Linda Ronstadt’s back yard!) and Eddie Cochran’s “Come on Everybody” caused the Herald Examiner's Ken Tucker to exclaim in print, “The girl has passion and wit.” While Lovich is admirably concerned with asserting her artistic intent, Sweet is more simply occupied with, as the MC5 used to say, kicking out the jams. Sweet’s attitude toward being a woman in rock is similarly less aesthetic, but more common-sensical, than Lovich’s. “1 think it has its advantages and disadvantages,” Sweet says, a slight frown shading her round countenance, “you always have to prove yourself, but there aren’t that many women doing straightforward rock, so people are basically more interested in you as a female. But I don’t think of myself as trying to do a man’s job... I’m trying to do a universal job.” Sweet stands apart from mapy of the artists on the Stiff roster, Lovich in particular, in that she seems to see herself as an entertainer in a more old-fashioned American sense; she is not afraid to be inconsistent or unhip. The material on Fool Around ranges from Sternberg’s sardonic views of suburban lives and loves (“Who Does Lisa Like and “Suspended Animation") to Elvis Costello’s paean to country music (“Stranger in the House”) and to such lightweight classics as Carla Thomas’ “B-A-B-Y” and Dusty Springfield’s “Stay Awhile.” The origins ofSweet’s “old trooper” dedication to show business are easy to trace.With her parent’s encouragement, she began appearing in TV commercials at age 7, pushing everything from candy bars to bananas, while also singing and dancing in summerstock productions of several Broadway musicals. “My parents didn't really push me,” she asserts, though Akron-to-New-York jet flights became commonplace in her young life. Ensuing years saw her open on several dates for Mickey Rooney (1!?!) and tour with Bill Cosby. Later she entered the music business as a country singer with the tiny Derrick label out of (where else?) Texas. She attained the lower reaches of the charts with her version of “We Live in Two Different Worlds” but was still signed to Derrick, with little to show for her efforts, when Liam Sternberg contacted her (Continued on page 30) — simple; cutting th* disc at the measurably larger 45 groove geometry offers you these Hstenlng advantages: Greater high frequency clarity of mid-range definition bass response below 100 Hz dynamic peaks irate with that of the turn, In you are provided a sonic range c master tape Itself. 20 albums comprise Angel's 45 rpm Sonic Series.

There are some neat things here: the music, which is energetic and appropriate (unlike MoreAmerican Graffiti), the acting, a strip poker game, bizarre Hawaiian shirts worn by the local godfathers, and the black cheerleaders for the football game, but most of the time I wished these good parts could have been in a good movie and not in this confused mess.

At the same time Alda expects us to like him, sympathize with him, forgive him. Fine; we should be able to take a character with virtues and warts, but Alda and director Schatzberg (who directed the dreadful Puzzle of a Downfall Child and the slighdy less dreadful Scarecrow) just won’t leave us alone to make up our own minds. The central political conflict is whether Alda will lead the opposition to a Supreme Court appointee because of the man’s racist background; his old Senate friend Douglas wants the man approved, which will somehow convince Douglas’ constituents that he isn’t too old for his job (huh?). It will be enough if Alda just votes against him without making a fuss. Alda agrees, and immediately changes his mind when strong evidence against the would-be judge is presented. Conveniently Douglas cracks upatthe hearings obviously tooold forthejob so Aldanever has to come to terms with his betrayal. Alda’s personal conflict at home is similarly confusing. He professes constant love for wife and children, but something is obviously wrong. His daughter, a whiny, sulky brat, refuses to reveal the source of her misery, and Alda just keeps breaking promises to them all. His affair with Meryl Streep, a political activist who helps him derail the racist, becomes the focal point of the film because here at least we understand what’s going on. When Streep and Alda suddenly realize There’s More to This Relationship than Politics, the movie hovers while they silently eye each other. Neat. But whenever we’re ready to be angry with Alda for dumping on his wife, for undermining his old friend Douglas, for his self-congratulatory attitude our anger is diffused, misdirected ... like the movie.

It isn’t clear, at the ig a presiend, whether Alda is dent or trying to become one; does he suffer no remorse shafting Douglas? Why doesn’t he tell his wife he’s running for president? Why doesn’t his daughter tell anyone why she’s so miserable? And why in hell does wife Barbara Harris agree to stay with him in the end, after he has betrayed her in so many ways? For all its faults, The Seduction of Joe Tynan (a double entendre, of course) deserves some measure of success because it’s a serious effort to show how part of our government works (in contrast to Mr. Smith Goes to Washington), and because Alda should be encouraged. His acting here is precise, never reminiscent of TV’s Hawkeye Pierce, and his script is interesting and literate, however cluttered. If this movie makes some money, he’ll probably write a better one someday. And if he’s lucky, Jerry Schatzberg won’t direct it. Judith Sims Klemmer (Continued from page 18) instead of ahead. I really miss the Sixties.” Klemmer’s Aquarian Age attitudes come off like the espousals of some mellowed-out hippie in a Doonesbury strip. But Klemmer is earnest about maintaining his grasp of those high-ideal spiritual concepts and weaving them into his life and his music. His album Jacket’s liner notes offer up "thought space to dream and love” and blessings such as “Let the waters of your soul flow..Bandying about spiritual euphemisms is a waning trend, but Klemmer’s stuck to it apparently without alienating his audience. There are a lot of people out there who can relate whether it be the spiritual platitudes of the liner copy or just the earthy, tropical tones emanating from his horn. Each of his last 7 LPs has been in the top 5 on jazz sales charts, most of them eventually reaching Number One. One gentleman who can relate particularly well is Joe Smith, chairman of Elektra/Asylum Records, who personally signed Klemmer to his diskery when Klemmer's ABC contract expired. Klemmer is presently preparing his first album for Elektra with long-time producer Stephan Goldman. It’s an outing he describes as “more pop I think it will surprise everybody.” Does that mean jumping (like fellow jazzbos Herbie Mann and Herbie Hancock) on a disco/funk bandwagon? “Nope. I have no interest in doing disco music,” Klemmer replies quickly. “I like something I can dig my teeth into and can have fun with. Funk music, disco it’s more rhythmic than it is melodic or harmonic. There’s no challenge for me as a melodicist and an improvisor. There’s not much there: a couple of chord changes and after a while it gets rather boring.” The new pact with Elektra calls for the release of a number of projects on Klemmer’s Age of the Artist series. “It will be an area for me to do aesthetic projects of the nature of the solo saxophone album, and hopefully for me to get more involved in producing other artists. “What 1 like to do is plant a lot of seeds for the future,” Klemmer explains, lighting up a cigarette in the early evening glimmer. “What I’m doing now is planting seeds for five or ten years from now, because I know they might take that long to blossom.” — — — �(Continuedfrom page 13) time Elton John isTeddy Pendergrass is in his dreams certainly not on this song, which, done by Teddy and the old Blue Notes, would have been a killer. At his best, Thom Bell uses overlaid voices and instruments, like his fellow Philadelphian Todd Rundgfen, to achieve a luxuriously thick sound. In this instance, there are some brilliant tidbits, such as an artfully chicken-picked guitar and mysterious clackety-clack noises in the background, but overall, formula prevails, and the writing for the MFSB horns and strings is pedestrian compared to so many of Bell’s past triumphs. “Mama Can’t Buy Vbu Love” is stuffed with cliched scratchy wah-wahing, harps, and some truly puerile vocalizing by John to complement Bell’s lame lyrics. To add insult to injury, John’s ten thumbs in the remix dissipated the unified sonic “picture” that Bell normally achieves, and many small instrumental motifs are criminally obscured. This ought-to-be-stellar record is only minimally danceable or listenable, which is a crying shame considering that it comes from two men whose products are normally very much the best of both those worlds. — Christopher Kathman The Kazoos Brothers Plate Full of Kazoos (Rhino) The Kazoos Brothers take inanity to its farthest reaches, parlaying Dan Aykroyd and John Belushi’s Blues Brothers review into an all-kazoo catastrophe. Brought to you by the same folks who dished up the Temple City Kazoo Orchestra’s version ofLed Zeppelin’s “Stairway to Heaven,” Plate Full of Kazoos features “Soul Man,” “Rubber Biscuit” (with Aykroyd and Belushi’s guffawing, ersatz soul chatter reduced to kazoo riffing), “Little Darlin’” and Otis Redding’s “I Can’t Turn You Loose.” The Kazoos Brothers are, for the record (and only for the record, mind you), Elvin Abdul Kazoos and Jackson “Action” Kazoos. Jake and Elwood Blues they are not. Sam and Dave they are not. Funny? Well, they are that, sort of, depending on how much satiric kazoo attack a given listener can handle. Steven X. Hee Ian Dury the Blockheads Do It \burself(Stiff/Epic) This is Ian Dury’s greatest album. That album appeared last year. It was called New Boots and Panties and it’s well worth searching for in import bins and discount houses. It was a perfectly nasty, perverse, disgusting not album filled with all the things that make music so much fun particularly sex and drugs and roll & roll, which was also the name of a cut on New Boots. Do It Yourself is a far tamer product than New Boots, but in these days of the marching morons of music, even an imperfect piece of sincere rock is a joy to behold. Ian Dury, part of the incredibly verdant and bellicose Stiff stable which includes the likes of Nick Lowe, Elvis Costello, Lene Lovich and Rachel Sweet is the gnome king of Stiff rock (their motto: “If it isn’t Stiff, it ain’t worth a f—k”). Trapped in a misshaped body not of his own doing,Dury strikes out with songs filled with dark irony and quiet vengeance. Songs like “Hit Me with Your Rhythm Stick” and “Dance of the Screamers" are rife with gnawing images of the underdog. Ian Dury is the revenge of the lower class against the pompous asses who people Monty Python routines. This is music that always has the last laugh. — — — Morrill Shindlor Willie Nelson fc? Leon Russell One for the Road (Columbia) Willie Nelson may prove, in time, to be the best thing that’s happened to American music since Cole Porter, Irving Berlin and George Gershwin. After years of being the Outlaw Prince of Country Music, a title he shared with Waylon Jennings, Kris Kristofferson and a whole gaggle of lesser luminaries like David Allen Coe and Eddie Rabbit, Willie Nelson turned last year to, of all things, low Americana. He released his darndest album, Stardust, in which he crooned along in his dusty off-key way to such old potboilers as “Georgia on My Mind,” “September Song,” “On the Sunny Side of the Street,” and “Moonlight in Vermont.” And to cap the whole improbable project, Willie Nelson chose Booker T. Jones, of Booker T. and the MGs, for producer. None of it made any sense. Except for the music, which was just terrific. Songs which had long since vanished into the abyss of kitsch and Muzak suddenly re-emerged as really, truly great pieces of music, born again through the eyes and voice of one of country music’s most genuine originals. Stardust was a great success. It also was acclaimed as something Willie Nelson could pull off just once. But.. .Willie Nelson being Willie Nelson has now managed to pull off his Americana hat trick a second time, with a double album of great songs from the good days of this century. Although he’s taken Leon Russell, Bonnie — — Bramlett and Maria Muldaur along, One for the Road is strictly Nelson’s achievement. Russell’s contribution is sparse. The Stardust formula holds true on One for the Road, only more so. This time, Willie rides roughshod over “Sioux City Sue,” ‘You Are My Sunshine,” “Stormy Weather”...even “Danny Boy.” Bless him, he gets away with it every time.Sure, the vocals are occasionally rough and gargly; sure, the piano playing and guitar solos run to the eccentric. But at the center of it all is a sort of blue-eyed soul that elevates these snatches of supermarket music to levels of great meaning. Indeed, Willie Nelson is busy creating a musical heritage for all of us to carry into the 21st century. For that act alone, he deserves to be carved large on the side of Mt. Rushmore, flashing a big, good-ole-boy smile at his only peers—Washington and Company. Break i H Merrill Shlndtor Lou Reed The Bells (Arista) Predicting what a new Lou Reed record will sound like is no easy task,considering the uncertainty and inconsistency Reed has always exhibited. Just after critical acclamation peaked with last year’s Street Hassle, Reed released Take No Prisoners, an uneven live album. This exemplified his rollercoaster career of peaks (the Velvet Underground, Transformer, Street Hassle) and valleys (Sally Can't Dance, Metal Machine Music). Now Reed has brought both worlds to one disc with The Bells, an album as fascinating as it is uneven. Reed’s experiment with jazz is in the forefront of The Bells. Rock seems to have faded to the background of his repertoire. Reed’s primary concentration has usually been lyrical, and although most of The Bells music is expertly crafted, the lyrics take precedent. Reed’s better half comes out on “Families,” an excellent tale of his family rejecting his lifestyle. “And no, I still haven’t got married no, there’s no grandson planned here for you...” he sings, before resigning to his father that “there’s nothing here we have in common except our name... I don’t think I’ll come home much anymore...” His honesty is sobering. But as good as some of TheBeils tunes are, there is litde excuse for fare like “Disco Mystic.” The man who always ignored trends has suddenly caught four minutes of the “Fever,” and sings “Disco... disco mystic...” a few dozen times. A bad song or lukewarm joke? This album just proves that when Lou Reed is bad, as he occasionally is on The Bells, he’s horrible,and when he’s good, as he is on most of the record, he’s in a class by himself. — Jotin TVausch In the last two years Ampersand has paid out some $25,500 to freelance contributors writers, artists, and photographers —and this year wads of bucks are just waiting for ace Ampersand contributors.

Lol Creme, Godley’s former bandmate in the poprock outfit lOcc, opens the door, visibly bushed from a full day of promotional interviews. "But we’ll keep our peckers up if everyone else does,” affirms Creme. The Gizmotron, inspiration for their fatigue-worn tumescence, hugs the face of a dark, sunburst-finish Stratocaster leaning against a small amplifier nearby. A plastic, electric-motored device conceived from Godley and Creme’s collective imagination, the Gizmo can drive the strings of an electric guitar with the same kind of continuous, undistorted tone a bow imparts to a violin. It looks like a misplaced part from a toy accordion. Six little toothed, rubbery wheels, commanded by six color-coded buttons, sit over each of the instrument’s strings. Press any of the buttons and the affected strings resound with tones usually heard from cellos, violas and the like. “It means you can do absolutely anything,” says the personable Creme. “Vbu can improvise your own orchestrations as you play.” To illustrate, he takes up the Byron Laursen transformed Strat and plays a prancing, cello-like passage, punctuated with the sound of chording violins. Then he plays two bars of standard, single-note blues, answering himself with the sound of a string section playing a horn-like chorus. “I think what we’ve done is to provide the guitarist with the missing link, if you like, in order to do anything that’s possible with guitar... the long note, without fuzz or distortion...clean harmonies with control over exact length and attack.” Emboldened by Creme’s facile demonstration, I accept an offer to test the device. Out of the Strat comes a sound midway between a sitar and a lowing Hereford. “You’re in business,” says Godley. “It’ll frighten you a little at first. You need an hour to get comfortable. George Benson had about twenty five minutes, then he was happy for the rest of the day. Kml McCartney was instantly happy. He used one of the prototypes on terms and Mars and London Town'.' “Fbon, isn’t it,” adds Creme. “That’s the main thing. It’s foon. We could take them off the guitars and race them across the room.” Godley and Creme, schooled as graphic designers before they became musicians, rendered their first notions of the Gizmotron in cardboard-and-paste models in 1971. lOcc obligations and a host of niggling design problems kept the project half alive until 1976,when the team decided to make it their principal concern. A breakthrough came when, because of a government program designed to aid British industry, they won the assistance of the Manchester University Physics Department. Ironically, because the right production deal couldn’t be struck in England, the Gizmotron is now made in Rosemont, New Jersey. “So much for British industry,” notes Godley. Since production began earlier this year, orders have come faster than units can be built. TWo of the largest guitar retailers in Los Angeles have only been able to get four Gizmotrons apiece to date. At the Guitar Center in Hollywood, the device is reported more popular with “jazz and classical orientated” (sic) players than with rock & rollers. Valley Arts Guitar in North Hollywood says its whole allotment was bought up in one day by studio musicians. Listed around $250, the Gizmotron will probably be discounted as supply catches up to demand. One of Godley and Creme’s next projects,along with a Gizmotron for electric basses, is a book examining the rock industry from inside. “The Gizmo has to sell,” Creme says. “We’re going to need the money for libel suits.” (Continued from page 27) to make a demo for Stiff three years later. Only one incident in the interim bears relating: according to Sweet’s publicists, she turned down Linda Blair’s role in The Exorcist because of “all that bad language.” Hmmm. Sweet now seems firmly committed to rock fcf roll. “I like to perform for kids my own age,” she says. Her plans for the future include writing some other own songs and retaining the services of Fingerprintz after the recording of her second LP (due to be completed this fall). “I’d love for it to turn out to be a Graham Parker fcf the Rumour sort of situation,” Sweet says, alluding to the Rumour’s pursuit of their own career while remaining Parker’s backup band. Beyond that? “I’ll give rock roll about 20 more years,” Sweet conjects, quite seriously, “then I’ll slide easily back into country music or something like that.” It sounds like a long way off, but, to put matters into better perspective, in 20 years Ms. Sweet will only be 37. It will be interesting to see how each of these artists fares on the American marketplace. Both have made considerable inroads in England, but almost anything released on the Stifflabel enjoys a certain built-in audience over there. Sweet may have the inside track by virtue of her appeal to a wide audience, even middle of the road, without compromising herself. But Lovich is as striking a new female artist as has come onto the rock scene since Patti Smith (whom she sometimes resembles vocally) and, while her music may be farther out than Sweet’s, it is hardly inaccessible. “1 want everyone to know my music,” Lovich asserts. “I don’t want to stay in a dark corner.” “There’s always competition when you’re selling records,” counters Sweet “I’m a very competitive person, anyway.” �* Sepumktr, 1979 �w * * f « f » i fV» i ff"V» # t � � * ilAW rii ■ * � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Thundercurrent has published three issues this Campus Editor Members of Sub Board I decided Thursday evening continue funding Thundercurrent—its month-old newsmagazine—for the rest of the year, extending a temporary agreement that was due to expire. to The student service corporation, sharply divided on the issue, made the ruling at its monthly meeting after intensive questioning of the paper’s interim board. As a result of the decision, Thundercurrent has an additional month to select a new Editor-in-Chief. The weekly publication was also given an extra month to devise a permanent charter and present it to the Sub Board Board of Directors. semester under a trial funding agreement that was supposed to be continued or halted Thursday night—pending Sub Board review. In August, members of the magazine’s transitional board—Michael Stephen Levinson (Acting Managing Editor), Joyce Finn (Acting Editor-in-Chicf) and Michael Pierce (Acting Publisher) agreed to serve as “caretakers” of the publication in hopes of preventing its demise. The magazine, which was printed last year by Sub Board and called Worlds, was placed in a tenuous position last Spring when its Editor-in-Chief resigned, pointing to his continuous, but unsuccessful efforts to secure a staff.

Yesterday, the fate of the scheduled September 29 West Valley rally was to be decided (after press time) in Little Valley, the Cattaraugus County capitol.

The organizers for the rally claim the law is being applied discriminately and is a direct affront to their First Amendment freedoms of speech and assembly. West Valley (35 miles southeast of Buffalo) is the site of the now closed Nuclear Fuel Services (NFS) reprocessing plant.

Speculating that Tobolski’s actions may be influenced “by pressure from those higher up,” he added, “I suspect that both the Chairman of the County Legislature and the past Chairman, Harold Dewey of West Valley, are applying the pressure.” The Sierra Club and the September 29 Coalition were optimistic tht the case would be thrown out of court and the rally held. David Pyles, the Sierra Club’s Director of Communications asserted, "Nothing will happen. The rally will go on.” However, if the organizers are served with an injunction to stop the rally, they will appeal. ” off-P. 5 / Bluebird of happiness?-P 7 / Immigration P. I I �$ a. Government backs down Suppression of J 9 too hot to handle info turns c\ossified ( to allow readers to see nuclear warheads as pieces of hardward rather then as scorepoints in a contest between nations,” the by Jon-Mkhael Glionna Feature Editor letter stated. stunning reversal, the Justice Department announced last week that it was abandoning efforts to prevent the g publication of articles containing what it m termed “restricted data” on the hydrogen bomb. The decision negated Federally imposed restraining orders against The re Progressive magazine and The Daily in Z S a Thought prosecution I 1 h At that time, Morland set out to leam “as much as it is legal to know—and possible for a layman to understand” about nuclear warhead design. Consequently, in printing both the Hansen letter and the Morland article, the press is choosing to test the information control system established by The Atomic Energy Act—at test the government said could cost millions of lives. Editorials on the pages of not only The Progressive and The Daily Californian but of newspapers across the country maintain that a hydrogen bomb would clearly seem to be beyond the reach of any terrorist group. Likewise, the knowledge contained in the printed information would be useless to nations already developing nuclear weapons. What the press finds offensive is thepower of government censorship embibed in The Atomic Energy Act. That Act, passed by Congress in 1946, was designed to strengthen government control of the nuclear weapons industry. At that time many scientists argued that there were no atomic secrets and that the concept of “Restricted Data” would only serve to thwart “scientific inquiry.” Guidelines to the then newly created Atmoic Energy Commission stipulated that all information in the field of atmoic weapons is born classified. “That is, when there is a new discovery, development, or article printed inthis field, regardless of its origin, it is instantly classified," explained an Atomic Energy Commission official in 1954. Californian, a student-run newspaper, from printing information supposedly containing “secrets” which threaten national security. The Government made the announcement after the Wisconsin-based Madison Press Connection printed material on the same subject that the California newspaper was censored from printing. They revealed a letter from Charles Hansen, a 32-year-old computer programmer, to Senator William Percy of Illinois, containing illustrations of a cross-section of a hydrogen bomb with details of the bomb’s trigger. The Progressive had been under Federal Court injunction since March barring pubication of an article by free-lancer Howard Morland entitled “The H-Bomb Secret—How We Got It—Why We’re Telling It.” In light of the reversal, the article is expected to be released sometime in the near future. Proclaiming that it was conceding the battle but not the war, the Government not giving the green light warned that it to the press or anyone else to voilate The Atomic Energy Act by revealing national , security secrets. H-bomb recipe In fact, the cases of The Progressive and The Daily Californian were the first tests of the injunctive power of The Atomic Energy Act—a statute empowering the government to restrain the press in advance of publication—since its enactment at the onset of the cold war. And many believe that their implications starkly embody the clash between freedom of the press and national security. Yet, the editors of every paper which printed the Hansen letter insisted that it contained no breach of top-level secrets. “We haven’t printed any recipe on how to build an H-bomb. The letter to the Senator was of a political nature in which Hansen expressed a theoretical concept on how he thought the bomb worked,” maintained Managing Editor of The Madison Press Connection Skip Frank. Frank argued that Hansen’s letter made it clear that building an hydrogen bomb is not a task that could be undertaken without vast industrial and scientific resources. “We would have never printed the letter had we felt it was detrimental to U.S. security. We did what we felt was Our job,” he told The Spectrum. The Government insisted that the publications overstepped the liberties of a free press in printing “strictly classified information. “The restricted data in both the Morland article and the Hansen letter concern a key concept which has never been suggested in any public literature,” claimed U.S. assistant Attorney General Thomas Martin. Serious setbacks During court hearing in early March to weigh the constitutionality of printing the Morland article, the Government warned that the consequences of publishing such a piece were grave. “Such a disclosure will increase the number of nations capable of constructing thermonuclear weapons and decrease the time it takes for these nations to develop such weapons,” stated the brief. If this occurs, the Government warned, the nuclear proliferation and strategic arms limitations policies of the United States will suffer serious and perhaps irreversible setbacks. Federal Judge Robert Warren, impressed by the Government’s dire warnings, granted the temporary rctsraining order in March pending a further hearing. “I want to think a long, hard time,” he said in court, “before I’d give a hydrogen bomb to Idi Amin. It appears to me that is what we’re doing here.” Advocates for both The Progressive and The Daily Californian claim they would not have been breaching national security because all the information included in both the article and the letter was already accessible to the public. During the court hearing in March, Progressive attorney Earl Munson held up a volume of the World Book Encyclopedia and pointed to an article entitled “How the Hydrogen Bomb Works.” “All the information in Morland’s piece is in the public domain,” he said. “And if Morland can find it, then by no stretch of the imagination can there be grave, irrepairable damage to the United States.” The attorney contended that although it had taken six months, with the assistance of encyclopedia articles, government documents, cooperative Department of Energy officials and nuclear scientists for Morland to discover his “secret,” most knowledgeable persons could have come to his conclusion “in a matter of hours.’” The government rebutted that even if some of Morland’s information had come from public sources, it had been synthesized in such a way that the end product was “born Classified.” Throughout the dispute, many asked why Morland wrote the article and just what it contains that the public needs to know? In a letter written last July, Morland claimed that nuclear weapons production had prospered for too long in an atmosphere which was free from public scrutiny. “The main reason people aren’t protesting against nuclear weapons,” he asserted, “is because they don’t have the information. They don’t know where the weapons are made, how they work, how many there are, or even what they do.” Morland hoped that his efforts would expose the mystique behind nuclear study and open the doors to a more educated and spirited public debate on Atomic policies.

In the face of government accusations of press irresponsibility, The Progressive’s attorneys reasoned that by making an issue out of the case—in effect placing its stamp of authenticity on Morland’s article—“The government has called for more attention to the piece than The Progressive ever could have hoped.” Progressive Editor Erwin Knoll claimed that it is the idea of the secrecy that the government often attempts to enshroud. "The mystique of secrecy is something they protect more jealously than the secrets themselves. So long as we have that mystique, it is possible for a tight little group—the guardians of the secrets—to make policy in this terribly important area and exclude all the rest of us from having a say in that policy,” he said. Many claim that the Department' of Justice’s sudden decision to drop its enjoinment of the publication’s printing of the Morland article and Hansen letter stemmed from the government’s fears of possibly losing a court decsion on the right to free speech. Managing Editor Skip Frank of The Madison Press Connection, the first newspaper to print the contents of the Hansen letter, claims that the Department’s reversal is a victory for the press. “It’s proof,” he said, “that the ultimate secret is no secret at all.” �Let it be —Beatles may stage benefit reunion concert Guiliani did say that the proposed concert will be televised by satellite around the world. The idea to have a televised concert was inspired by the tremendous success of the Childrens’ Fund benefit held earlier this year starring such acts as the Bee Gees, which raised over four million dollars for U.N.I.C.E.F according to Guiliano. Contradicting reports that John Lennon is the only member holding out, a spokesman for N.Y. lawyer John Eastman said that Paul McCartney would not agree to perform in such a concert. John EastmanfMcCartney’s brother-in-law) has represented him in lawsuits against the other three Beatles following the breakup in 1970. In the past, McCartney has dismissed the possibility that the Beatles would ever reunite saying “you can't reheat a souffle”. However, McCartney did gel together with George Harrison and Ringo Starr for an impromptu concert given at former Cream member Eric Clapton’s house at Clapton’s wedding to Patti Boyd, Harrison’s ex-spouse. by Jean-Marc Brun Spectrum Stuff Writer The Beatles may have finally decided to let their personal differences be and come together for a long awaited reunion concert. Although a time or place has yet to be confirmed, the great occasion will be a benefit concert sponsored by the United Nations to raise money for the Vietnamese boat people. UN Secretary General Kurt Waldheim has spoken personally to Beatle George Harrison concerning the proposed concert, according to UN spokesman Francois Guiliani. “All four Beatles had shown interest in the project and were seriously considering it” added Guiliani optimistically. The profits from the concert will go toward helping refugees from Southeast Asia. According to independent L.A. concert promoter Dirk Summers, who has been involved in the long and winding road of negotiations with the Beatles, three of the four members of the super group have agreed to perform together in Geneva, Switzerland. In an interview on radio station W.L.I.R. in Long Island, Summers confirmed that there has been as of yet no response from Beatle founder John Lennon. A four hour long concert is planned with English rock star Elton John acting as Master of Ceremonies. Leonard Bernstein has also agreed to conduct the Vienna Philharmonic. UN spokesman Guiliani explained that UN officials « have not been informed on the status of the negotiations handled by Summers and that a positive location for the concert has not yet been determined. Other reports from the UN have indicated that the concert will probably be held at the Geneva Headquarters for the UN Commission for Refugees. Bangla Desh A benefit concert for the refugees of Bangla Desh held in New York City in 1971 was the scene of the most recent public reunion which attracted only two members of the band. At that bash, Harrison was joined by Starr along with several other top names in the rock industry. It is the hope of Beatle fans alfover that this time the Beatles will be able to work it out and get back to where they once belonged, together. N.Y.S. accreditation High schools to pass new test In response to growing concern that high school graduates may be ill-equipped to deal with the demands of college or the job market, the New York State Board of Regents voted Thursday to use students’ academic performance as a criterion in licensing high schools. According to the new standards, mapped out over the summer and approved in final form Thursday, 85 percent of the seniors in a New York Stale high school must pass competency tests in order to ensure a school’s accreditation. As detailed in an Associated Press new story, if a school falls short of the 85 percent mark, it will be placed on probation. The school will then be given a specific deadline by which students’ improve to its performance —a deadline which, if not met, could be costly. Once-spurned ROTC returns to Buff State by John Lapiano Spectrum Staff Writer Less than 10 years ago it was the target of violent student and faculty protests, but today all seems to be forgiven on some Buffalo area campuses as the Reserve Officers Training Corps(ROTC)is staging a comeback in Western New York. ROTC is actually more popular now, enrollment wise, than it was in the tumultuous late 1960’s and 1970’s. Both Buffalo and Fredonia State Colleges—which have never had ROTC before—are now offering it to their students. Buffalo State held some “soul searching” public hearings before it opened a satellite ROTC program on its Elmwood Avenue campus. Students who formerly had to travel to Canisius College to take ROTC courses are now offering the curriculum at Buffalo State by the Canisius College Department of Military Science. David Burdette, an administrator at Buffalo State commented in a recent Courier-Express article that if interest is high enough, the college “might seek to start its own program.” Not everybody is overjoyed about coming to Buffalo State. Burdette said that during the hearings “The pros seemed to outweigh the opposition.” Students not aware But Campus Minister of Fredonia State Rev. W. Timothy in an open Peterson, refuted Burdette’s assessment of the hearings and faculty who letter, writing “There were many more students came(to the hearings)to express regret”. faculty on the Peterson further charged that students and He continued program. the committee had a “vested interest” in writing a ten trouble of “Went to the that the anti-ROTC faction and costs of the procedures of the page, item by item attack for sue the committee to even threatened program." Some students faculty-student referendum or without secret, making a decision in approval. ROTC has joined Most students at Buffalo State arc unaware -continued on The New York State Board of stamp of approval is required for all high schools in the State before they can issue diplomas. This is the first time in history of the State that the academic performance of students has been a factor in the accreditation process. Buffalo Deputy Superintendent of Schools Claude D. Clapp noted that he does not “expect that particular test to be much of a porblem here.” Clapp said that Buffalo students have done well on Regents page 14 . . . the State’s minimum competency tests, estimating that over 90 percent passed these tests. Sixth grade But Clapp said that new tests which will be used to gauge a school’s performance will not be “minimum” competency tests, but tougher than those given last srping. When the minimum competency were designed about three tests years ago, Clapp explained, “people started to ridicule them . . . they were not at all challenging.” Clapp said that the tests were approximately on a sixth grade level. People questioned whether high school graduates should be expected only to have the reading, writing and mathematical skills of a sixth grader, he recalled. The new tests, simply to be called “Regents Competency Tests,” will be geared to a more advanced grade level. Clapp said the tests may be ready this June, noting that the Buffalo schols will employ a strategy of searching out those students likely to have difficulty with the test and provide them with “remedial study before they get to their senior year.” Requiring that 85 percent of a school’s seniors pass the competency tests is only part of a and thelines went on and proposals, Clapp said. The of truancy and lateness on the part of students will also weigh in the accreditation tests. According to the Associated Press, recreditalion of public high schools in the past was more or less a formality, depending only on whether the school had the appropriate number of teachers and librarians and fulfilled minimum series of rate space requirements. The accreditation standards will be reviewed next September after the State evaluates the first 150 schools giving the lest under the new procedures. —Kathleen McDonough . . . CO �I o. E3 ‘Surface scratched’ Panelists debate effectiveness of mass transit system by Marc Sherman specific t_ns. Speed is irrelevant, he said, if people are discouraged from using the system because a station is Environmental Editor The 6.4 mile Light Rail Rapid Transit (LRRT) currently under construction is only “scratching the surface” of a comprehensive county transportation plan, according to panelists at a County Hall conference last Wednesday. But precisely how to achieve a county-wide plan for passenger, commuter, and freight transportation was not made clear by the panelists. THE LRRT is the product of the Niagara Falls Transit Authority (NFTA), with the Niagara Falls Transit Committee (NFTC) providing a source of public input. NFTC Director Ed Small explained that the “high priority consideration” is completion of the Main Street line. The Federal Department of Transportation now funds the $433 million project, but eventually State and local governments will assume about 20 percent of the costs. Plan criticized The NFTA was criticized by Walter Faxlanger, a seasoned veteran of regional transportation, who felt that current plans overemphasize the revitalizaion of downtown Buffalo through the Main Street line while not taking the entire county into consideration. “There’s too much emphasis on the central business district,” asserted the white-haired Faxlanger. Suburbanites will continue to purchase the bulk of their goods in the suburbs “because present shopping centers are closer and more convenient for them,” he said. Faxlanger also pointed out that easy access to mass transit lines is more important than the speed of so far from their homes. Some panelists concurred that transportation plans should not concentrate solely on the downtown area. Charles Brown of the Erie County Department of Environment and Planning suggested that urban concentration, and decreasing dependence on the automobile would result in more rail ridership. Brown predicted a higher demand for mass transit due to high oil prices, and suggested that more cross-country buses be coordinated with the rail lines. John Downing of the State Department of Transportation amplified Brown’s concern by declaring that higher fuel costs can lead- to an “overnight demand” for transit, could not now adequately be absorbed. Downing also noted that not only people but also freight must be transported. Freight transport, he said, must depend on rail, since truck haulage is petroleum dependent, and the rising cost of maintaining State highways is borne solely by the State. Suburban extensions Many believe the key to the success of a comprehensive transit system is the proposed suburban extensions, including a stop on the Amherst Campus. However, panel member Mark J. O’Connor, a UB Architecture student, presented slides of abandoned rail stations in Hamburg and Tonawanda, noting that suburban extensions have, in the past, often failed to remain operable, becoming vulnerable to vandalism and neglect. These proposed suburban lines can use existing “rights of way” rail freight lines that bypass the towns. such as the one near the Amherst Campus. But effective operation of these lines might require Federal funds from the proposed “oil windfall profits tax,” which is currently being debated in the Congress. MFTA Planning Director Daniel Hoyt said many cities anxious to start a rapid rail project will be competing for these same funds. Parking problems Ironically, the successful shift to mass transit from the private automobile is thwarted by the lack of parking space for automobiles at the mass transit stations. There have been warnings that “parking problems will multiply” since the automobile will remain the major mode of transportation for several years. He suggested that streets parallel to Main Street, such as Ellicott and Franklin, must be further developed to accommodate autos. The parking issue cropped up again when O’Conner questioned Hoyt about the anticipated parking shortage at the Main Street Campus, where a major station is being constructed now. Hoyt responded, “We’ve had discussions, but no plan yet,” indicating that parking at the Main Campus is not a part of their major concern. O’Conner told The Spectrum that the NFTC is not sufficiently seeking public participation, citing UB’s lack of involvement in the inevitable parking shortage. O’Conner then hypothesized a scenario that would undermine the goal of increased ridership for mass transit. “An Amherst man that heats his car in the winter is not going, to get out of his car to fight for a parking spce so hd can ride mass transit. He will stay i his car to get downtown.” Blasting dims 29 street lights Despite Department of Public Safety statistics which show that crimes—particularly rape— do not occur more frequently in unlighted areas, UB Anti-Rape Task Force members maintain that poorly lit or isolated areas pose an increased danger. The NFTA project on UB’s Main Street Campus recently caused a transformer-supplying power to 29 streetlights on campu$-to blow out. The lights, out for approximately five weeks, were reportedly in operation again last Wednesday. But there are still lights on-campus which are not functioning-burned out-that can send a chill of fear through someone walking alone near Hayes or Crosby Halls. There has been “no increase in rapes or assaults statistically whether they’re in lighted or unlighted areas on either campus here”, maintained Assistant Director of the Department of Public Safety Wayne Robinson. However statistics don’t always matter according to Co-Coordinator of the UB AntiRape Task Force Shaari Neretin. “It’s [Roofii's'l Ii Wing | Ding i I J J Thing i One double order of Chicken Wings FREE ■ J with the purchase of a double.

The Anti-Rape Task Force is a campus organization which attempts to avoid letting women walk alone by offering both an escort and a van service to bus stops or dorms. Helen Burton, an officer in the Buffalo Police Force who lectures on rape said “a rape is more likely to occur in an isolated area after dark”. However, she pointed out that a rape can occur anywhere at anytime. “The most important place for lighting is inside your home or residence and in hallways or staircases”, explained Peggy Chapados, an officer in the Department of Public Safety who helps the Anti-Rape Task Force. The Force is offering a course on rape, which, according to Neretin attempts to “de-mythify” it. The course explores the legal, emotional and medical aspects of the crime. Although the Task Force hasn’t started its escort service yet this fall, Neretin said operation should resume by the beginning of October.

The Spectrum has learned that communication system cables have been damaged by the blasting —causing a delay in registration. Director of computer operations Dennis Henneman called the damaging of the cables “a rumor.” His office could not link the computer foul-up times with the blasting schedule. However, Executive Vice President Albert Somit recently told the Faculty Senate Executive Committee that “Blasting for the subway line broke communication between the Main Street Campus and the computing center, disrupting and delaying registration.” The communication systems’ most sensitive equipment is located in Crosby Hall adjacent to the blasting site. All data that needs processing on the three campuses is fed over a single phone line into a “multiplexer” which deciphers the information into a usable computing form. While there has been no definite confirmation of multiplexer problems, there have been problems with the highly sensitive cables connecting the communication system. Just noise “Blasting did nick one of their cables and is affecting some Jim sensitive circuits affecting transmissions,” according relations Telephone public Western a New York Roche, official. An engineering crew at the blasting site dug up one cable for repair, Roche noted, which could have also led to a knock out of computing operations.

Repair work cannot begin until the Dormitory Authority approves the project. Governors, which houses over 800 students, has been plagued by faulty ceilings and rotting window sills since its completion in 1972. Conditions became so bad last Spring, “You were always wondering what was going to fall on you next” according to June Barnett, an ex-resident of the dorm. Director of the Amherst Campus Physical Plant Dean Fredricks believes that the trouble “Stems from the basic design of the roof.” “Governors’ is almost identical in design to the dormitory at Fredonia which has similar leakage woes,”hc said. Both dorms were designed by Company Pei the l.M. “Ironically, the feature of the roof causing us the most trouble is there for purely esthetic reasons,” Fredricks noted. He said the leakage is aggravated by the porous nature of the building’s bricks. surrounding The feature Fredericks mentioned is a parapet—a small wall ground protrusions level, it hides seen from the roofs outer edge.

It would have been the first variety of draft since 1972. Shank, director of the Committee Against Registration and the Draft (CARD), says he expected the measure would be defeated, but was surprised at the margin of the vote. The House voted 259-155 to strip the registration measure from a $42 billion defense authorization bill. There is still a similar registration measure awaiting action in the Senate. “I don’t know if or when the Senate will vote on it,” Shank says. “It could be that the overwhelming rejection of the draft in the House will convince the Senate that the American people just don’t want the draft back.” As a result, he hopes the Senate will simply let the measure die of inattention in committee. Last April 30, a House committee voted down a bill that would have authorized the conscription of some 200,000 young people. But on the same day—the fourth anniversary of the U.S. evacuation from Saigon—the same committee approved a plan to register males who turn 18 on or after January 1, 1981. The Pentagon argued the registration would enable the U.S. to respond rapidly to a military emergency. Without registration, the military said, it could take months to mobilize an effective fighting force. The House committee then sent the proposal to the House floor, which didn’t get around to voting on it until last week. Individual protests Draft opponents reacted a lot faster. A group called Students for a Libertarian Society (SLS) took the lead in organizing anti-draft protests in the early spring, though it readily joined CARD, a larger coalition of 39 groups, when it was formed in April. All told, the groups helped coordinate rallies, teachins, and petition drives on more than 60 campuses last spring, especially during the last week of April and first week of May. Much of the protest was on barely-visible, individual levels. A computer programmer at Stanford, for example, announced she would not provide data on university students that the Selective Service would need to register them. She warned she would try to convince other college-associated data processors to do the same. College papers did vigorously editorialize against the new draft proposals, and some draft counselling centers even re-opened. In Oregon, the state legislature 2 officially asked Congress not to reinstate the dri^ft. But most attempts at larger demonstrations proved disappointing. CARD drew 800 to Washington, D.C. last May, while 100 rallied at the University of Wisconsin, once a center of draft resistance. Jay Hilgartner of the Young Libertarian Alliance said last May that the relatively email turnouts were the result of peace. “People don’t go out and demonstrate until the threat (of being sent off to war) is immediate.” Big rallies, though, are quick, dramatic means of demonstrating a point. Anti-draft organizers wanted to stage one just before the House vote. Getting demonstrators out was made all the harder because many colleges arc still on summer break in early September. Bigger plans “We had a problem of time,” Shank points out. “It takes a lot of time to organize a big rally and get people going, but a lot of schools were just starting. We were pretty much limited to having literature tables and letter-writing tables at (class) registration lines.” CARD and the United States Student Association did try to stage a march on September 10, just before the House vote. Only about 100 people attended. “We got a lot of bad press,” complains USSA’s Sue McGowan. She people assume that every demonstration in Washington, D.C. is a national show of strength. McGowan maintains that “it wasn’t supposed to be a national rally.” Shank confirms that “we only leafleted locally.” Moreover, “September 10 turned out to be the first day of school for D.C. high schools. It was hard to ask them to miss their first day of school.” Nevertheless, the local media interpreted the meager turnout as evidence that the anti-draft movement was not very widespread. It was not the kind of impression anti-draft organizers wished to leave with congrcsspeople as they filed in to vote on the registration plan. Yet when the votes were cast, the plan was rejected. In retrospect Shank says “a major reason is that people made themselves heard,” even if it wasn’t in mass rallies. There’s still more anti-draft work to be done, Shank maintains. Even if the Senate kills its version of the registration plan. Shank wants to mount a larger, more ambitious campaign to drive a stake through the draft for good. Shank wants to repeal the draft law itself. He explains that the law that makes a draft possible is still in force, even though the authority to actually conscript people expired in 1973. (President Nixon reduced the Selective Service to “stand-by status” in 1972). He says CARD will decide whether or not to attack the draft law itself after the group sees what the Senate does this fall. says TlfE SpECTRUM —ALWAYS ON TOP OF THE NEW Campus, Feature, National,City, Sports, Environmental, Music, Arts YOU CAN JOIN US We need writers, photographers and artists to keep providing coverage of events and trends affecting you.

Blue Bird maintains supplies as gas.prices soar Bird houses its own pump and storage facilities, making the operation more resilient than the public to fuel cutbacks. Although Magnano said that he has plenty of gas now, he cautioned that the problem of maintaining to Magnano. Blue Higher fuel costs are reportedly causing Blue Bird to bus its loads for less profit this year. Blue Bird Coach Lines, the transit company which has bridged UB’s disjointed campuses for the past eleven years, is bearing the weight of escalating fuel costs, according to the firm president, Louis Magnano. “It hasn’t hurt our operation performance; it has hurt profitability,” he said. According to Magnano, service to UB will go unhindered by the fuel crisis. “In fact,” he noted, “We’ve added a few buses.” Much of the drain on Blue Bird’s profits comes as a result of its contract with the University which makes no allowances for increased fuel expenditures. Thus, the 85 percent operating cost increase from September of 1978 through August of this year was absorbed by the busing according to company, Magnano. The contract, which is open to competitive bidding after three years(or five, if a two-year option is exercised), is awarded to the company that can provide adequate future diesel supplies could be critical and softly. Noting an increase in demand for Blue Bird’s services here, Magnano ventured to say that service at the lowest hourly rate. This open-ended contract protects the State from increased gas costs; the servicing end incurs the additional expense. But the other major factor in Blue Bird’s tight budget is Fargo residents by Bill Koiiarakls Spectrum Stuff Writer Under pressure from residents of the Ellicott Complex’s Fargo Quadrangle, the Inter-Residence Council (IRC) has stalled a plan that would have converted the Fargo cafeteria into a gameroom. IRC agreed at an open forum in Fargo last Tuesday to await the results of an EUicott-wide referendum on the issue. As the representative body for dorm students, IRC made plans over the summer for a game room after consulting with representatives from Food Service, Clifford Furnas College (CFC). Housing, Facilities Planning, Student Affairs and Recreation, and University Police. Accdrding to some Fargo residents, if the IRC plan is implemented, it would effectively study and reduce use of the cafeteria as a area. meeting inherent in the operation itself: Huge fuel consumption and necessarily low efficiency. The transit type busesfthe blue ones) average about three and onehalf or four miles per gallon of diesel, while the yellow school buses get about three miles per gallon of gas. Magnano estimated his service’s consumption at over 100,000 gallons of fuel a year at a price tag of over one dollar a gallon. Supply, on the other hand, doesn’t seem to be as imminent a problem, according more students, who ordinarily would be driving to classes, are riding the buses this year. “After all, they’re paying over one dollar a gallon too,” he added. He also alluded to the 20 to 25 percent increase in transit bus ridership in most big cities. As a response to higher bills and lower profits, Blue Bird is employing several economy measures. The transit buses are now running radial tires, which scuff more easily but enhance gas mileage slightly. The buses are also burning lighter oil and the engines have been tuned down. Additionally, Blue Bird drivers have received memos asking them not to idle unnecessarily. “We are dealing in fractions, but fractions add up,” Magnano added. —Garth Greenblott force IRC to halt cafeteria takeover IRC President Toiri Knight explained the forum was designed to “Let the residents know what has been done and what is going to be done.” The roughly 60 residents of Fargo who attended the meeting expressed overwhelming objections to IRC’s plan. CFC’s publication, ‘‘Cliff Notes” criticized the plan because “The "takeover was planned and executed over the summer prohibiting student input in the decision.” IRC spokesman Ricky Koh rebutted the accusation, claiming that during the debates in last year’s IRC election it was stated that IRC wanted to “start a gameroom somewhere in Ellicott.” After being refused both Richmond and Wilkcson Quadrangles, the Fargo Cafeterial, according to Koh, became the next available area. Study space Students at the forum charged that IRC neglected its duty as a representative body to let constituents speak on the issues. They also charged that IRC should have taken the initiative in polling the students’ feelings about the gameroom before they went ahead with plans. IRC countered that they were busy organizing “Sunfest” and because of other obligations could not have polled the students during the summer. Controlling drunks Concerning the claim by Fargo residents that the cafeteria will no longer be functional as a study or meeting area if the IRC plan is implemented, Koh stated it will be available for organizations upon reservation and the lounge on the second floor of building five in Fargo is available for study purposes. Farber residents proposed that the second floor study area could be used for the game room, but IRC gave no response. Another concern Koh tackled was the increase of Tire alarms due to intoxicated people in the gameroom as some residents felt was the case in Wilkeson—where the Pub is located. Koh commented, “1 fail to see how one could compare the Pub with a gameroom that will not be allowing any alcohol on the premises.” However, one Fargo resident pointed out that people may come into the gameroom already durnk. Knight responded that if the situation ever came up, the people involved would be asked to leave and if they refused, they would be thrown out by campus police. The student countered, “Come on get serious! You’ll be picking yourself up off the floor by the end of the night.” The IRC representatives indicated they would take their chances. After the heated question and answer period it was resolved that a referendum would be held on the gameroom issue for all of the residents of Ellicott. �eo » a. 6 3 k_ l^editorial A Questionable Funding or no funding, the future of Thundercurrent is still in doubt—and there are many basic questions that Sub Board and its publication must resolve. As one publication, The Spectrum encourages others. With more than one newspaper on this campus, more complete coverage of this University could be initiated. In addition, the press can also serve as a check on its colleagues—that is why we are not hesitant to write about Thundercurrent or The Other One. But the politics surrounding Sub Board's decision to allocate $17,000 this year to Thundercurrent must be carefully scrutinized. Firstly, the news magazine's transitional board has not met the conditions that it set forth necessary for its survival. Yes, it has produced a weekly issue for the last three weeks, but it is operating without a permanent charter approved by Sub Board and it has failed to elect a new Editor-In-Chief or any permanent editors. Thus, we might readily agree with Student Association President Joel Mayersohn’s assertion that Thundercurrent’ s failure to meet the agreed conditions is “totally irresponsible." brief explanation . . .

We know that the paper may not look like we’ve been at it for years, but we thought that this was as good a time as any to give you a little explanation of The Spectrum’s Editorial and Feedback pages. You may have noticed that we run six different columns—one each paper, on a twoweek rotation. Of course, every rule has an exception, so we print "Phaedrus” by Robert G. Basil one a week —on Fridays.

Mayersohn, as a member of Sub Board’s Board of Directors, must exercise his fiduciary duty when considering a vote to extend a substantial amount of funding to a publication whose promises are suspect. The Board of Directors’ 3-2 vote—leaving Mayersohn and Sub Board Treasurer Chris Jasen in the minority—does not exemplify proper fiscal management by a corporation that controls over $300,000 of students’ money. The biggest flaw we find in Sub Board’s Thursday night action surrounds the Board's failure to preclude elected student government officials from holding editorial positions on a Sub Board publication. The potential for a conflict of interest is so overwhelming that we find it hard to believe that the Board was justified in voting down a motion forbidding dual interests. The basic separation between press and government is an issue that should not be tampered with. When a government—namely Sub Board —creates a newspaper—namely Thundercurrent—\her\ this basic separation is immediately jeopardized. But when members of Thundercurrent' s “caretaker” board are also elected government officials, then the dangers of conflicting Interests are so blatant that all parties involved should question this. The third major flaw we find in Sub Board’s Thursday night meeting is not in any of the actions taken, per se. Rather we wonder—with amazement—why not all members of the Board of Directors were present. If they could not be present, then at least we expect they locate a proxy. Ten students could have voted, but only six were there. According to Sub Board's Executive Director, Dennis Black, currently there is no policy regulating the number of meetings a representative to the Board must attend. Black noted that it is up to each student government—who select the reps to the Board—to ensure that its reps attend. It is not up to Sub Board. Without a doubt, these student governments should immediately require that no member miss two meetings in a row without a proxy. Students are being slighted when, for example, SA Vice President for Sub Board Barbara Hilliard has missed two, proxied two, and attended one of the last five monthly Sub Board meetings. This is poor representation. We can understand Thundercurrent's fear of losing the enthusiasm it has tried to create. At the same time, we cannot excuse a student corporation from allowing a poorly-planned student publication to waffle in the winds of fiscal and political mismanagement.

Kross Kultural Casualties by Robbie Cohen I was thinking about what America would be like today if the institution of slavery had never come to North America; if the wide ranging influences of black culture and the black political struggle had never touched white American society. I considered the sundry transfusions of black culture: jazz, Southern blues(the basis of the ever popular musical idiom of the day, rock and rolljthe legacy of the civil rights movement and American slang. It was obvious to me that the world we live in would not only be far different without this impact but that our society would be so much the poorer. I realize that these thoughts are in no way original. Most everyone is aware on some level of black-white cultural interfacing, but I question if this awareness very often transcends mere acknowledgement. The danger is that even when whites do concede the debt, it comes off like belated, wishy-washy liberal sentimentality which I fear the above paragraph may be guilty of. The pitfalls of a white rhapsodizing o'n the white man’s debt to the black man stem from the opposite side of the coin. What have whites done for blacks except for perpetrating a long list of crime against themselves including enslavement, institutional segregation, and economic bondage? Certainly when one ponders this dark history, black rage becomes more understandable. And acknowledging black cultural contributions in this backdrop can’t possibly sound anything other than pathetic. How do we go about bridging the gulf between black and white, when mutual suspicion and racist attitudes persist in spite of the civil rights movement and an ostensible American committment to right the wrongs of the past through desegregation and affirmative action programs. How much has really changed when Buffalo police routinely refer to black suspects as niggers? Sure, blatant manifestations of racism have practically disappeared. One no longer hears about lynchings in the South, or blacks being forced to ride in the backs of buses, but ingrained racial prejudice still thrives. A white girl I worked with in a local restaurant spoke caustically of blacks who dress in flashy clothes and ride around in outrageously modified luxury cars yet live in shanty slums on the East Side. I argued that these materialistic values and priorities are reflective of an appallingly status oriented America—the kinds of messages which assault us over the TV or in magazines, day after day, depicting the good life, the state of the art stereo, the flashy car. People are brainwashed into wanting these never ending streams of products which will spice up an otherwise dull and depressing daily existence. The National Commission on Civil Disorders, convened shortly after the ghetto riots, singled out TV with its constant portrayal of affluence when most urban blacks saw only squalor surrounding them as one of the prime catalysts for the resulting violence. In Buffalo, one of the more subtle and insidious fdrms institutional racism is bank redlining. It is the unofficial policy of savings banks in Buffalo to refuse mortgage loans to blacks and other minorities wishing to buy homes in areas other than traditionally non-white neighborhoods. Redlining perpetuates the sharply delineated de facto segregation of Buffalo and serves as another confirmation among blacks that ‘‘the man" is intent on holding him down. The yellow streaked local papers then engage in a conspiracy of silence by not running any stories on this outrage for fear of losing lucrative bank advertising. A classic case of corporate racism. Perhaps one might expect these kinds of attitudes and doings in the work-a-day world. Yet segregation and suspicion run rife also in the supposedly enlightened and progressive student milieu. How much social interaction do you see between blacks and whites on campus? How many times have you walked into the Rat and sensed that artificial boundary between where whites and blacks can congregate. How about black input into the campus editorial voices like The Spectrum ? For whatever reason, the sum total is practically nil. Blacks, in what is probably a self-fulfilling attitude, see publications like The Spectrum as bastions of exclusive white power. The Spectrum more than welcomes new staff writers, yet there is little or see no this I for (and effort, myself as partly to blame) at approaching minority students and organizations for new recruits. In the late 60’s, there was some semblance of unity between black and white political organization, but with the wane of student activism and the rise of parochial apathy this has all but disappeared. A constructive dialogue must be begun now. �feedback Statement on ‘The Spectrum’s’ advertising policy Killing the environment To the Editor: There is one point I would like to make in favor of nuclear power plants, unlike fossil fuel (coal and oil) power plants nuclear plants do not give off fumes that come to earth as the acid rain that Dissatisfied is, if not already so, killing the fish and other waterlife in the Adirondacks.

Purdy customer ; To the Editor In response to Sigma Pi Fraternity’s letter of September 19, I would like to give another point of view of the night John Valby performed in the Fillmore Room in Squire Hall. Unfortunately, I never got to see him that night because of certain circumstances which forced me to leave before he made his appearance. First of all, the Fillmore Room is too small to hold all the people that Sigma Pi knew would be there. Sitting on the beer-drenched floor and being stepped on by numerous people was no picnic. There were no fire aisles or any organized seating arrangements which added to the total animalistic behavior of the audience. Never before had I seen so many idiots gathered in one place at the same time. Empty beer cups started flying, then cups with beer still in them. Soon, beer was all over everything. After being hit by several, I did not want to sit through a performance that I knew would not be worth the aggravation that I was going through. I asked for a refund, and was refused because of a piece of notebook paper that was taped on the entrance door saying, “No Refunds.” But nowhere on the posters advertising the show did it say that money would not be refunded. Under the circumstances I’m not sorry I missed the show, but I wonder how much money Sigma Pi made on dissatisfied customers like myself. We, as a collective editorial board, have decided the status of our advertising policy. The previous ad policy reads as follows: “We reserve the right to reject any advertising at the discretion of both the Business Manager and the Editor-in-Chief.” The policy will stand—with stricter enforcement. In a meeting that one could not call particularly emotional or long, the Board decided that the principle of freedom of speech does not apply to advertisers. It is a privilege for them to advertise in our pages because they choose to pay for their inclusion. Because they willingly choose to pay money to catch the attention of our readers for their product, they are not exercising merely a right. Because of this distinction, the Editorial Board felt that placing a judgement on advertisements which then resulted in their not appearing in the paper was not censorship. Advertisers have a choice of many different approaches to sell their product. We do not feel obligated to accept the approach they may find the most startling and which we may find offensive. The Spectrum’s Editorial Board agreed on a general definition of “blatantly offensive” to form the criteria by which we judge an advertisement’s content. Copy or graphics included in an advertisement that attacks groups crudely and cruelly or which promote a regressive view of groups for no apparent purpose save that of sensationalism may be construed by us as “blatantly offensive.” Sexist and racist slurs immediately fall into this category by their very nature. We will not refuse to print an ad from an organization whose political ideology differs from ours unless it is guilty of what we defined as “blatantly offensive.” Likewise, we would run a J.P. Stevens advertisement if we did not consider it to be “blatantly offensive.” Just as we are subjective about which stories we choose to run in the paper and in which order, we feel the right to be subjective in what we consider to be offensive to ourselves and/or our readers. Even the Supreme Court has failed to define “offensive”—thus pornography is often based on community standards. We will also continue not to run illegal or false ads. If you believe we have erred in judgement In allowing an offensive ad to be published, then let us know. We will reconsider—but regardless of our decision—we will print your objections. And so, even now after this year’s Editorial Board has decided on the status of our advertising policy, we can only still ask of you one task—“to follow your own conscience. Maintain your own individual stance. Do not patronize those businesses whose advertising policies you feel are offensive.” In the end, all we have—individually and collectively—is our freedom of choice. "SO MUCH FOR A NO-HITTER" Edward Gawronski IRCB clarification To the Editor. This is in response to the letters written by Jeff Trespel and friends in regard to the situation that arose on Sept. 9 during refrigerator rentals in Ellicott. For me to write defenses to each of your charges would be absurd because it is a simple fact that you cannot argue with someone who refuses to listen, and instead resorts to misquoting and name calling to get his point across. I will, however, point out a few major flaws in your argument. 1) In order to ease the long lines of previous years in Ellicott we rented refrigerators on Sept. 2nd a full week earlier than last year. At that time approximately 300 people rented refrigerators. Where were you Mr. Trespel? We also rented them again Sept. 15, and will continue to rent them as long as there is a demand. Nobody who wants an IRC refrigerator will be refused one. 2) Your 10 or 15 dollars in fees goes to the IRC so that they can bring events such as parties and movies to you at little or no cost. No IRC monies are used to pay IRCB employees. 3) As far as responsibility goes, as Business Manager, I am responsible for all the activities of IRCB. I also attempt to be cognizant of all the needs and requests of the dorm students. Without input such as yours, there is no way I can tell what kind of changes need to be made. I encourage anybody with any suggestions, questions or complaints in regards to any division of IRCB (ie. the Elli, Grub, Underground, Refrigerator Rental, or Travel Service) to contact me at 636-2497 or come to the IRCB Office Monday, Wednesday or Friday between 12 noon and 4 p.m. or Tuesday or Thursday from 12 noon to 2 p.m. Thank you very much.

First, it was the loss of CIA “listening posts" (i.e., ■3 spy bases) in Iran. Now it’s 2000 Soviet troops in Cuba. The fact that the CIA has ringed the Soviet Union with such spy bases for years shows that its “hearing" has not been impaired. Indeed, as recently revealed, the CIA has eavesdropped on American citizens right here at home! Apparently, the CIA places “big ears” before constitutional civil liberties. it Regarding the 2000 Soviet troops in Cuba should be remembered that the United States Navy maintains, in Cuba, the world’s oldest, foreign-occupied military base on the sovereign soil of another nation—Guantanamo Bay. As of 1976, according to Prensa Latina, the United Nations Latin-American Press, there were 2800 active American dependents, American civilian support personnel and CIA personnel not in military dress. And what of the divisions of American troops stationed in the Federal - | and congressional front s industrial complex (such " • •- ... Republic of Germany? Do the people in the socialist countries bordering that country feel comfortable about that 25-year-old display of militarism? Furthermore, it has been estimated that the United Sates has 2,000,000 troops stationed in countries around the world. Why are we supposed to be concerned about theseSoviet troops? Certainly it can't be because we are afraid of an invasion of Miami Beach by 2000 Soviet infantry troops. The American people need SALT II for peace and prosperity. In fact, SALT II is a requirement for the continued existence of humanity itself! We should not be steamrollered by well-financed demagogues who place the profits of the militaryindustrial monop-olies before the lives of the people.

But one must also distinguish between real debate and its Imitators, between the proof of a hypothesis and its mere restatement, between the substance of a polemic and the author’s predictions of winning it. Taken in this light, last week’s Knack-attack emerges as an empty suit of armor, polished In anticipation of a battle It could never meet. The writer’s point—not an uninteresting one—is that The Knack represent the merger of advertising's manipulation and the music industry’s desire for hit records. But before he goes about proving it, the critic admits that his point, whether defensible or not, doesn’t really matter to his aduience. Witness this remarkable thought: “The issue is harder to raise than it is to settle.” What could be harder to raise than it is to settle? Trivialities are hard to raise in the world of criticism, so are irrelevancies, so are points which are obviously true that they become the rules of the game and not of the game itself. This page and a half issue that is “harder to raise” surrounds a group with the Number One album in the country, a group that has been attacked relentlessly by the music press, a group which has “raised” more issues than almost any other band to emerge lately. Given these facts, which the writer himself misuses later in the piece, It’s a good bet that an issue about The Knack that is so hard to raise, probably Isn’t worth raising. The critic, with good reason to suspect that no one cares about his beside-the-point, attempts to turn this killing defect into a rhetorical advantage. To do this, he must inflate his nonissue with something, anything. Desperately, feeling his argument collapse at the typewriter, he goes for all the marbles. He actually equates The Kanck with the death of rock ’n' roll. Get The Knack and kill the music, he warns. How ominous. How threatening. How profound. The false issue becomes real; like all propaganda that appeals to fear, the piece’s power is not in the proof of an assertion, but in its consequences. What if I’m right, what then? asks the critic. In contemplating the death of rock ’n’ roll, the reader neglects to question the ridiculous hypothesis that the Knack might cause It. The w .ter escapes his audience’s critical eye by striking at Its heart—love of rock 'n' roll. By defending the music against an attacker he created, the author appoints himself as the guardian of the audience. He then can whisper anti-Knack nothings Into sympathetic ears. The irony here is two-fold. First, this sort of audience manipulation is the very thing the writer rages about in trying to prove that the Knack's producer, Mike Chapman, is in the same business as Madison Avenue. Secondly, the author appoints himself defender of an audience that has overwhelmgly supported the villain he imagines. People love The Knack; the critic doesn’t. To get around this rather broad hole in ... his argument, the writer reaches as low as he possibly can, claiming that the people only love The Knack because Mike Chapman is inside their heads, "in the place where the moment melts into memory.” (Hey, manipulation fans, how about the fancy alliteration our hero uses here). This naked insult to the intelligence and free will of the audience characterizes the entire piece. Only by claiming that they have no control over their tastes can the author ignore his readers’ love for The Knack. We are given no proof for this fantastic claim, only succeedingly sophisticated assurances that It Is frue. With this evasive tactic, the writer is able to ignore undeniable but inconvenient truths about The Knack: such as the fact that Chapman’s reputation in the music business is quite good after producing New Wave heartthrob Bondie, whose records are every bit as likeable (but not as well liked) as The Knack’s. Indeed, the piece never comes to terms with the New Wave phenomena, of which The Knack is only one part. If it had, the author would have to admit that The Knack has merely fined-tuned the music their attackers call their own. They have built upon the sound that critics like the author applaud. They are more imaginative than their attackers, ahead of their time in a sense. But since the critics like to ordain everything that is innovative, they get hot and bothered when the buying public does it for them. The result: backlash in the press, runaway envy, paranoic visions of the destruction of rock ’n’ roll by a band that was outrageous enough to make Its own market. There is nothing dangerous about The Knack. They are simply popular. But we have every reason to be concerned about criticism which plays off fears of an audience the critics secretly despise anyway. The truth is that most of the record-buying public, and certainly the readership of The Spectrum is more sensitive to salesmanship without substance than the critics will ever believe. More often than not, the people know what they’re buying, why they’re buying it and what they’re supporting in the act of purchasing a record. The merger of the advertising business and the music industry began when all such mergers begin, at the point of profit. As soon as rock ’n’ roll made money, it became a different animal, a commercial animal. The Knack don’t represent any milestone In their 20-year association of rock 'n' roll with business, they don’t mean the “marriage of creative and manipulative talent” as we are asked to believe, they aren’t out to destroy rock ’n’ roll (although they might kill a few critics if given the chance). At the end of the piece, we are told that “to really know for sure that rock ’n’ roll will never die, you must be able to imagine what would kill it.” An interesting thought, but supportive of The Knack’s fans rather than their detractors. The death of rock 'n' roll will sooner come from attacks on the listener than from successful appeals to his tastes, such as The Knack’s. Last week’s exhausting diatribe on a pseudoissue manages to look like what it could never be, a sincere expression of concern over the commercialization of rock ’n’ roll.

At stake is a consumer market estimated to be as high as $85 billion, to say nothing of the control of a technology that could fast become the dominant mode of communication throughout the nation. Besides adding significantly to the amount of information available to home users, the new computer networks may bring social and political changes that no one yet understands. Although scientificand corporate computer networks have been in use since the early 1970’s, the first one aimed at home users hit the market this June. William von Meister, founder and chairman of the board of Telecomputing Corporation of America in McLean, Virginia, says he hopes to reach ten percent of American homes by 1985. Von Meister’s network, called “The Source,” is typical of the basic technology behind the new media. Computer terminals, which look like television screens with typewriter keyboards and sell for $600 and up, translate typed messages into computer code. Long-distance digital transmission lines, dialed by telephone, carry the code to and from a central computer in suburban Washington, D.C. The computer stores news, information, and users’ personal files, and sorts everything by preselected keywords. Customers use the Source to play games or use business programs, as if it were their own personal computer. They leave messages for each other and browse through electronically indexed bulletin boards. They follow the news off the United Press International wire, calling up stories of special interest only, and they search for specific topics in a version of the bibliographic New York Times Information Bank.

Analysis Nation’s highest immigration level causing concern by Frank Viviano Special to the Spectrum (For the millions of immigrants flooding into the United States today, the U.S. border is only the first, and often the easiest, fence to cross. A new and more formidable barrier is arising, composed of U.S. public opinion which spans the political, economic and racial spectrums of American society. In many ways, reports PNS writer and social historian Frank Viviano, it mirrors what happened SO years ago, when immigration from all sources was nearly choked to a complete halt.) (PNS)‘‘What would we do if a million Vietnamese got on tramp steamers and decided to land in Los Angeles?” asks environmental activist Paul Ehrlich. “Where would we even put them?” With an estimated 555,000 people legally entering the United States this year—and an inestimable, but much greater illegal influx across the Mexican and Canadian borders —immigration has reached a level unmatched since nine million Europeans poured into this country between 1900 and 1910. One result is that a strange assortment of pressure groups, including middle class population control advocates, impoverished Blacks and Chicanos, right-wing racial extremists, and most labor union officials, is posing questions similar to Ehrlich’s. For the largely Latin American and Asian immigrants seeking entry here, this unlikely coalition may mean serious trouble. Fifty years ago, an earlier alliance of affluent liberals, white supremecists, and economically threatened workers forced Congress to pass legislation which effectively shut the door to U.S. residency for four decades. In the 1920s, big business and the federal government opposed restrictive legislation for the same reasons they do now: it cut the supply of cheap labor and generated severe foreign policy problems. But the varied pressures exerted by sustained immigration on popular attitudes proved surprisingly more influential than business or government Social and economic arguments. uncertainities after World War 1 transformed a vague yearning for stability into an irresistable crusade for immigration restrictions. Now that pattern may repeat itself. “A new and potent correspondence of interests between comfortable middle class reformers and a far less well-informed group of Americans, acting basically on gut feelings, is a real possibility,” says the University of California’s Paula Pass, an expert on immigration. “The economic crunch is a critical element; it could propel what is now a regional antipathy against newcomers into a national movement to keep their numbers down.” Population rise Although'Pass believes that the situation is hot yet alarming, she says that the chemistry for restriction “is always latent in the system.” “There is a continuous, non-specific hostility, based on racial and economic misunderstandings,” agrees John Coakley of the International Rescue Commission (IRC). Over the past two years, the IRC has settled nearly 3,000 Indochinese refugees in the San Francisco area alone. “When people are face-to-face with each other,” Coakley adds, “hostility lends to evaporate.” But California is less alien to the ethnic Chinese boat people than other parts cf the U.S., where cultural isolation and prejudice often prompt families to return to the Bay Area or Los Angeles soon after settlement. California now has nearly 60,000 Indochinese refugees, more than triple the second ranking state, Texas. On the upper end of U.S. society, there has been growing sentiment for restriction based chiefly on the threat to American lifts; , les and values posed by the tide of aliens. “Liberal environmentalists are the most powerful opponents of increased immigration today,” says Carter Administration consultant Philip Martin. The large families of Latin Catholics and Asian refugees endanger the achievement of a major environmentalist goal; zero population growth(APG). “There’s no question but that immigration of any kind means population growth—which is certainly the last thing the United States needs,” contends Ehrlich, a Stanford University biologist whose 1968 book on the population explosion helped launch the ZPG movement. He is about to publish The Golden Door, which details the dangers of unrestricted immigration, particularly from Mexico. Active lobbying “It is absolutely essential that we develop a complete population policy in this country, and that means a new immigration policy,” he says. “Legals and illegals alike are beginning to take advantage of thier rights. This could be a big problem, especially for the courts.” The National Parks and Conservation Association (NPCA) has been among the most active lobbyists for immigration reform in 4 Washington. “Under the Carter Administration the posture has essentially been ‘once you’re here, you’re safe’,’ ’ays NPCA population program officer Gerda Bikales. “We think that there should be much more meaningful enforcement of our present laws.” The NPCA is also urging that the social security system be used as a central registry for workers, with procedural changes to make it more difficult to acquire cards and to put specific identification data on them. "Personally speaking, I think we have to approach the matter of amnesty for undocumented workers very carefully,” Bikales says. “We don’t know how large their families might turn out to be, and the moment we legalize their status, we will suddenly increase the population of affirmative action beneficiaries dramatically, with terrible consequences for our present minority groups.” Outright xenophobia pervades the harshest middle class criticism of Latin immigration policies. Arguing against any loosening of current restrictions, former CIA director William Colby has called the Caribbean a dangerous “cesspool of overpopulation.” Popular author James Michener recently declared that “We ought to give Puerto Rico independence next week—unilaterally,” to reduce Hispanic influence on American culture. In the ranks of poorer Americans, the welcome has been cooler yet. Violent clashes have occurred between Mexican-American Indochinese occupants of a Denver housing project. Black organizations in New Orleans and Chicago have voiced opposition to assistance for the refugees, and an Indiana union has expelled Vietnamese members for “working too hard.” The American Legion, which now includes many Blacks, has been pressing for barriers to Southeast Asians, on the grounds that their affirmative action rights might endanger employment prospects for Vietnam War veterans. ard Thanks to their vastly greater numbers and potential impact, the antagonisms facing Latin immigrants are even more acute. Many traditional allies of American Hispanics—labor, other minority groups, white liberals—have been critical of a Carter “Scabs Administration “go slow” policy on the control of undocumented Mexican workers. Various estimates currently place illegal aliens in the U.S. at between four and 12 million, and even in the Chicano community, the competition they offer for scarce employment has aroused bad feelings. At the 1979 National Conference on Jobs for Hispanic Americans, United Farm Workers representative Gil Padilla characterized the new arrivals as “scabs and strikebreakers.” Despite the racial misconceptions which abound in arguments against immigration, what really links most of the disparate opponents is a deep fear of the economic effects of the human tide. While Blacks and Hispanics worry about their own tenuous positon in the economy, white Americans conceive of the immigrants as permanent burdens for the welfare system. “American taxpayers are being swindled out of tens of millions of dollars each year by 40,000 or more legal aliens whose flagrant abuse of the Social Security Income Program is a national scandal,” one major U.S. newspaper has charged. In fact, studies indicate that 73 percent of the illegal aliens actually pay taxes, while 77 percent also pay Social Security premiums, and a meager one-half percent manage to appear on welfare rolls. But facts notwithstanding, an alliance that spans the political and economic spectrum does seem to be developing, recreating the political coalition which pushed through the 1924 Johnson-Reed Act. That law nearly eliminated Asian immigrantion—prompting a disastrous hostility towards the U.S. in Japan—and reduced the flow of European immigrants to a trickle until Lyndon Johnson signed a liberalized immigration Act in 1965. Johns Hopkins historian John Higham, the leading expert on “nativist” efforts to restrict immigration, attributes the 1924 legislation to the same combination of forces which is in evidence today: underlying racial and economic anxieties, a conservative backlash following a disappointing war, and increasing demands for national loyalty and socialconfirmity. There was also an irrational fear of alien radical ideologies operating in ihe early Twenties, which has its modern equivalent in suspicions that Hispanics provide a base in the U.S. for Latin American revolutionaries. Today, just as in 1924, the force of popular sentiment may well overshadow the desires of either the government or the business community in determining whether or not hostilities lead to severe immigration restrictions. �j UB tennis Royals serve up a I winner for Fall home opener CTl li E The air was crisp and the sun shone brightly—Wednesday was a perfect day for tennis. And so it proved to be for the UB Royals’ home opener against Fredonia. Coach Connie Camnitz’ netters overpowered the weaker Fredonia team, sweeping six out of the seven matches played. The overwhelming edge may contain undertones of proficient play on the part of the Royals, but that simply was not the case. Most of the matches were marred by Buffalo’s poor execution. “We didn’t play well,” as Camnitz put it. “We were shaky, but the results showed a margin of success on our part.”' Team captain Dee Dee Fisher echoed this reproach. The showcase event of the afternoon was the first singles match—between UB’s Debbie DiCarlo and Fredonia’s Amy Ross. The match featured continuous aggressive play by freshman standout DiCarlo. With accurate ground strokes, DiCarlo consistently lured Ross to the net, and then would unleash a vicious flurry of backhand and forehand smashes to render the Fredonia player helpless. The match ended quickly, with DiCarlo winning in straight sets, 6-0, 6-0. “I was hitting the ball hard and with confidence,” Debbie reflected. “Amy just couldn’t seem to volley well.” Most of the girls in this league only get major practice during the season, whereas I practice all the time.” DiCarlo’s father happens to be a tennis pro for some clubs in the Buffalo area. Lost point The first doubles team suffered the Royals’ only defeat of the day. Carol Waddell and replacement Lynne Kirchmaier, plagued in the first set by costly mistakes, barely managed to capture a single game. The UB pair fared much better in the subsequent set, battling the more unified Fredonia duet to a 5-6 tie before losing. “We didn’t follow through on our shots,” Kirchmaier summed up. “We found ourselves stopping in the middle.” An atmosphere of frustration encompassed the second singles confrontation, in which Fisher found herself struggling throughout the match. Although she won in straight sets, 6-2, 6-4, Fisher admitted the triumph did not come without a struggle. “I was playing a light hitter,” the captain observed of her opponent, Mary Gilmartin. "I have a tendency to play the kind of game my opponent does and I found myself hitting too soft and into the net.” The Buffalo squad voiced concern over the team’s general performance. Many team members believe that a stronger display will be needed Friday in Potsdam. —Tony Petti PHOTOCOPYING PHOTOCOPYING PHOTOCOPYING PHOTOCOPYING photocopying.... $.08 cheap TkE SpECTRUM 355 Squire i u Bulls let up too early, almost lose first win Coach Bill Monkarsh decided his regulars had had enough for one game. Leading after four inning* 10-0, the Bulls relaxed, sending in a host of inexperienced freshmen to complete the final three inning* of the doubleheader’s first game. The strategy didn’t seem peculiar. Buffalo’s opponent, the Rochester Institute of Technology Tigers, showed no punch in the field or at the plate. Game one of the twin bill appeared to be in the books and Buffalo’s fall record ensured at 5-0. The Tigers apparently decided to emerge from their comatose style of play in the sixth inning when they scratched out three runs before heading into the seventh. Still, with a seven-run margin in their favor, the Bulls were not frazzled. But by the end of the seventh, Monkarsh and the Bulls had good reason to be pulling their hair out. Ground balls began to sneak through infielders legs, blooping flyballs floated away from persuing outfielders and curvebaUs flew by homeplate—high, low, outside, or inside—but never over the slab. In all the confusion, Rochester battled the Bulls weary, tying the game 10-10 after seven frames. As the game moved into extra innings Buffalo might have found itself in a tight spot if rightfielder Mark Roehner had been playing a few feet closer to the infield. But positioned deep and shaded toward the foul line, UB’s Roehner was able to gallop after a low line drive, dive as he neared the fence, and snare the ball. Tumbling into the weeds waving his glove, Roehner had turned a three-run homer into a relatively harmless sacrifice fly, breathing a spark of life into Buffalo. Finally, in the bottom of the eighth, Buffalo regrouped and pushed the winning run across the plate when Gregg Miller lofted a game-winning sacrifice fly to end the contest with Buffalo the winner, 12-11. The re-born offense struck early in game two. The Bulls rallied for six runs in the opening two stanzas and never looked back. Dave Rosenhahn and Dennis Howard each collected a pair of hits and knocked in two runs to pace the attack. ■ **- THE DEADLINE DA TE FOR STUDENT HEALTH INSURANCE WAIVERS HAS BEEN EXTENDED UNTIL Wednesday, Sept. 26th Waiver stations are located in 318 Squire Hall Lobby of Capen Hall 201 Michael Hall If you have any questions. call Student Health Insurance Office - 831-2019 # SUD DOARD -7lSone.ihc �"O * U) I 3 - a Sf TJ but fleet Licata cut up field behind blocking from running backs Tim Najuch and Mark Maiar—the play good for a 38-yard touchdown. The officials, though, seemed anxious to call it back. However naive they appeared, the striped shirts listened to logic from the Buffalo squad and ruled that blocking could take place down field because the pass had been lateral. “It was just a quick screen” that was all it was,” Licata recalled. While the offense was starting to see daylight in the third quarter, Buffalo’s defense shut the lights on Brockport. But the momentum that began to push Buffalo’s resurgence also began to push the ball from their grasps. Deep in their own territory, slippery fingers resulted in a punt snap that flew beyond the reach of punter Sam Monaco. Brockport recovered and soon had a second down and goal inches from the goal-line. HANDSTAND: Buffalo tailback Mark Maiar (22) holds his ground with one hand after being turned upside-down by Brockport defenders. Maiar, Buffalo s only consistent runner in Saturday's game, ran for 55 yards to lead the Bulls in that department.

Brockport capitalized when Kevin Whitford dove on the lose ball for six points. Following the extra point, Prockport led 25-11. Regrouped, Rodriguez and the offense sprang back again, moving 63 yards while using little game time. Licata was again open for 23 yards, as was halfback Vince Quarles for 13. Down close on fourth-down and a long-one play from Brockport’s 18, Rodriguez crossed up the defense by gambling with a pass. He won the bet, finding Price wide open for the score. Brockport took the ball back, cueing UB defensive back Frank Berrafato to individually help Buffalo back into the game. With reckless abandon, the injured Berragato scooted across the turf to scoop up two late game fumbles. His ailment, a severely bruised thigh that has kept him sidelined for a month, still isn’t healed, but the cat-quick sophomore handed out some jarring punishment in his season debut. His first recovery stopped an emerging Brockport drive and later resulted in the tying Brockport 15, and it appeared the Bulls would cash in. Steve Pawleck, who was perfect in three tries for field-goals this year, got all of his foot into a 22-yard attempt, but accuracy was missing and the tailed well wide of the upright* Two interceptions, one on an option thrown by Maiar and later Rodriguez’s fourth, let to UB’s demise. Brockport capped the scoring after Maiar’s miscue as Boykins climbed over right guard from short range. The final effort bitterly disappointed many of the-Bmls, and even as they began to prepare for the bus ride home, they grimmaced as they talked about how close they had come to giving the Bulls a 3-0 record. Dando and his players took it hard, but understood that before you win consistently, you have to take a few losses on the nose. "They have to be proud,” Dando announced. “They keep working hard and most of them haven’t realized their potential yet.” But he added, “It’s tough when you have 12 seconds to get the lastplay of and they take four away.” - < ! �* * Q. 'Be A Friend’ program aids lonely kids by providing companionship and goals by Lisa*Saiki Spectrum Staff Writer Dennis Cortina is a Big Brother and an only child. Although his parents only wanted one child, Cortina always wanted a sibling. Now, he not only has a a brother, but he is in charge of a program designed to supply single children with at least companionship. “I wanted to give a child with problems to someone who has had those problems, to help him out,” said Cortina, now Assistant Director of the Be A Friend program. He added, “Having been an only child, I realize the benefit of having an older brother. I wasn’t comfortable with my parents. I couldn’t talk to them.” Cortina has been with the Be A Friend program for five years. He has had the same little brother for all five. His ‘little’ brother, Tracy, is now seventeen. All of the children involved in the program arc between thevgges ofySix and 16. Most come from either troubled or broken homes. The only requirement is that they live within the city limits of Buffalo. Tracy has belonged to the Be A Friend program as long as Cortina. He lives with his mother and family in a housing project near ROTC returns downtown Buffalo. His father lives four miles away in ahousing project just outside of the city. As Tracy noted, ‘‘I only run into him about four or five times a year.” Without a big brother, many believe Tracy would have grown up with virtually no masculine guidance, save that of his peers or teachers. “Tracy has an entire other family,” said Cortina. “Almost all of my family have adopted him, and he now calls my father. Dad’.” Be A Friend stresses spending lime with the child that had been ‘adopted.’ Although the ;big brother or sister fools the cost of any activities, staff member Steve Levy insists; “It’s the quality of the lime you spend, not the cost. We suggest going to the zoo, or for a walk in the park. Most youngsters just need someone to talk to, to help sort out their life.” The Be A Friend program was born about nine years ago, the brainstorm of former UB student Bob Moss—the program’s sponsor. With a single desk in the Community Action Corps (CAC) office. Moss—who served as Executive Director —gradually acquired more space and eventually a whole office as the Be A Friend program rapidly gained popularity. When the project grew too large for its then —continued from page 3— • • • their campus. Freshman Lynn Evans and Junior Darlene Stobie, displayed surprise that ROTC is there. One third-year student who was aware of ROTC’s presence, Donna Whitehead noted, “It doesn’t really bother me that they(ROTC majors) are here. They have just as much right to be here as anyone else. Having ROTC here is not an issue at all.” Wind is shifting Fredonia State College has applied to the U.S. Army for permission to set up its first ROTC program. For the last three years any Fredonia student interested in ROTC was sent to St. Bonaventure University—just southwest of Buffalo—where they received necessary training. If Fredonia does received permission to establish its own ROTC unit, it will be the only SUNY school to have one. Executive Assistant to the President of Fredonia Stephen Warner, explained that the most probable reason a university would want ROTC on its campus is that “Having this program would make it more financially attractive for students to go there.’ This semester, almost 150 Fredonia State College students are enrolled in the ROTC program at St. Bonaventure. Warner called this “An interesting shift in the wind. Of course,” he said, “ROTC is different from what it was in the 1960’s.” He added that the program now stresses academics more than military drill. Deception tactics Rev. Peterson called the new academic stress "deceptive”. He said that new curricula with courses such as “Leadership” are nothing but clever cover-ups for tactical and military interpretations of U.S. foreign policy matters and a win-all-ornothing philosophy of patriotism for scholarship commissionedpushed students.” UB dropped its Air Force ROTC program amidst a hail of fire from both faculty and students in 1971. It had been the only ROTC program offered on a SUNY campus and was a fixture here for 20 years. UB Vice President for Student Affairs Richard Siggelkow stated earlier this month that he knows of no effort to bring ROTC back to the U.B. campus. Siggelkow, however, did not rule out its return. He told the Courier Express, “Fraternities and sororities are back and football is back. I expect to see everything back in a few years.” ATTENTION GRAD STUDENTS Fall Semester Research Grants Money is available for Grad student research toward final Master's or Doctoral level project.

Moss accepted an offer from Buffalo Stale College to move into its Research and Development Department. Supporters explained that this location, within the Department, has helped the program obtain Federal Grants, which along with aid from the City of Buffalo, keeps the organization running. Be A Friend is designed to give guidance to children who need direction. “There have been limes when just as I was thinking, ‘he (Tracy) is going to make it,’ times when he seemed to be handling things really well, and then bang! another problem comes up, and we have to work that one out, loo,” said Cortina. “There’s been a lot of struggle, we’ve had problems, but he’s doing well, he’s making it.” As for Tracy, Cortina related, “Once we were just driving in the car, saying nothing, and all of a sudden Tracy says to me, ‘Den? You wouldn’t think of getting another little brother while you still have me, would you?” And the feeling is mutual. “Without Tracy there would be a void in my life,” he asserted. Although there arc approximately an equal number of boys and girls enrolled in the program, the waiting list for boys is longer. The number of young boys wailing for big Sub Board votes The caretakers board originally proposed in August that it operate the publication and try to attract a staff, re-write its charter, and return to Sub Board with a permanent Editorial Board in September. But Finn, who is also the Graduate Student Association President, told the Board of Directors that the paper “was not yet in a position to select a new editor.” The caretakers also failed to present a permanent charter—a document expressing their goals and bylaws—as they had previously been instructed to do. “We have not had the opportunity to complete the charter because we have been fighting these last three weeks for our basic survival,” asserted Finn. Relying heavily on the support of three vpting members of Sub Board’s Board of Directors—Alexandra Cukan, John Long, and Reggie Washington—the paper secured its immediate future. Cukan, calmly speaking in the smoke-filled, crowded and exorbitantly hot room, said, “They [the caretakers] have undertaken a difficult task and done a good job.” She maintained that to halt the publication’s funding —and to start from scratch—would seriously damage the paper’s credibility. But Student Association (SA) President Joel Mayersohn termed Thundercurrent's failure to meet the agreed conditions—originally suggested by the caretaker board—“totally irresponsible” and “in violation of the August 16 charge.” Said Mayersohn, “I can’t believe you haven’t presented us with a charter.” Over budget Editor of The Other One Frank Canale noted that his paper would never have gotten any money without first presenting a charter. The Other One which made . its debut last Spring, has been allocated $5000 per semester by the Student Association. “We couldn’t even think of getting money without first presenting something,” he said. Thundercurrenl which still carries Worlds' name on its back cover, will receive the full $17,000 subsidy that was allocated to Worlds last year. A contract between SA and Sub Board stipulates that the money be iiscd for publications. To date, the publication has spent $2050 of its $2300 subsidy to produce three issues, according to Sub Board Treasurer and board member Chris Jasen. The subsidy, he said, was meant to fund four issues, which at Thundercurrenl' s current spending rate would place it approximately $400 over budget. Maycrsohn, upset at the apparent overspending, charged, “This board has been greatly fooled and deceived.” But Mayersohn, along with Jasen. was consistently on the minority side at the meeting, in which six Board members were present, including Chairman Michael Belgard. Belgard can only cast his ballot to affect the outcome of a vote. Two Millard Fillmore College representatives to the Board of Directors. Kevin Bryant and law school . brothers has rached 250—300. To help these children, Be A Friend has organized an activities group. During weekdays, two to three staff memebers go on an outing with a group of approximately ten boys. “This way, boys who need to be with others are able to do so,” commented Levy. “When we find a big brother for one of the boys in the group, he leaves and another boy takes his place.” According to Levy, Be A Friend needs volunteers, mostly male. "Big Brothers are scarce,” he said, adding, “we aren’t discriminating, but girls are easier to find, that’s all.” Interested big brothers or big sisters can call 878-4337 for more information. —continued from page I . • • delegate Jay Marlin failed to show. In addition, SA Vice President for Sub Board Barbara Hilliard, was not present, but sent Washington as her proxy. Hilliard, who defeated Jasen in the student elections last Spring for the post she holds, was also absent from the August 16 meeting. The fireworks began when Mayersohn proposed halting funding for Thundercurrenl until a new editor was chosen. This motion failed 3-2 as Washington, Long and Cukan lined up against the SA President and Jasen. The motion, Cukan said, was “A slap in the face” at the Thundercurrenl staff. Cukan was appointed representative to Sub Board by the GSA Senate, a body which Pinn— Thundercurrenl' s Editor and GSA President—chairs. Earlier, Cukan successfully moved to “indefinitely delay" a proposal which would have barred student government officials from holding editorial positions on Sub Board publications. Same vole This vote, which passed by the same 3-2 margin, certifies the legality, in Sub Board’s opinion, of one person wielding power in both student government and the student press. Former Acting publisher of Thundercurrent Michael Pierce, who resigned September JO, said State law forbade him from maintaining his post as a voting student representative to the University Council while at the same time, publishing Thundercurrent. “Section 8 of the Public Officer’s act clearly states that my participation in any newspaper would be in violation of the public trust,” Pierce said. According to Mayersohn, “The possibility exists for strong conflict of interest in having a student government official involved in a Sub Board publication.” Mayersohn, a former Campus Editor for The Spectrum, resigned his editorial position before he was elected to the SA Executive Vice President post last year. Belgard, who as chairman could have killed the “indefinite delay” by voting no, and creating a 3-3 tie, declined the option. “If I were to vote, I’d vote in the affirmative,” he said, “because I think something like this should be decided by the publication.” In other business. Sub Board approved the purchase of a new Compugraphic printing system for University Press (UP), and gave UP’s current IBM production equipment to Room 307 Squire, where it will be used by both Thundercurrent and The Other One. Levinson, who again defied a Student Wide Judiciary ruling—barring him from Squire Hall—by attending the meeting, held in 334 Squire, objected to the decision and argued that the Compugraphic system should have been approved for use by Thundercurreni. Levinson was prohibited by the student court from entering Squire Hall, effective this semester, because he was convicted of stealing close to 3000 copies of The Spectrum last Spring. The IBM system that will soon be assigned to The Other One and Thundercurreni was used to produce The Spectrum for ten years.

Musicians United for Safe Energy (MUSE) will hurl its sling at the powerful pro-nuke forces via five star-studded concerts. The concerts dubbed, “The MUSE Conceits for a Non-Nuclear Future,” will draw an expected 19,600 patrons per night. The publicity surrounding these shows should instill new interest in the anti-nuke movement in its post-Harrisburg lull. In addition, profits from the ticket sales (an estimated $750,000 for the five days) and royalties from the imposed double album (another couple of million) will be used to offset the well-oiled propaganda machinesof pro-nuke forces that according to MUSE sources spend an estimated $450,000 per day to lobby their cause. The money engendered from ticket sales and album royalties will bg, distributed in three basic categories. One-third will go to local organizations fighting by Elena Cacavas News Editor "... the Stale of the University, both internally and externally, is being affected noyy. and for the immediate future by enrollments and the economy." —1979 State of the University address A blase, evasive State of the University Address from President Robert Ketter was not unexpected. But this year’s outdid the 1978 rhetoric and served only to mislead, distort .and further muddle a University that continues to clamor for public analysis of its problems; both present and future. Last year, Ketter talked about “problems”—or at least identified them as such. Now, in twelve months, these same concerns have turned into "trends” and his presentation of this School reeks with unsupported optimism. Part of the reason for the highnote presentation of a University which has changed little in a year—as well as in a number of years—is that a campaign speech should not be burdened with doubt and negativity. Assistant to the President Harry Jackson prepared Ketter’s speech as a political statement. It is intended to tell people what they want to hear and convey an optimism that only few realize—or will admit—is false and unsupported. Ketter did not drop the bombshell that some were expecting, specifically announcing his presidential intentions, but every track record has a flipside. Who assembled last Sunday to hear the address? It was a group who would or should accept Kettcr’s presentation. People who either have little to do with the University—such as the Buffalo media—or those in the Kettcr Administration heard Ketter’s words. And the punch flowed and the band played on . . . The optimism reflected in his speech is also representative of the Kettcr character. His repeated use of the monolithic “we” supports the fact that he tries to present this University as a unified body, one whole. But it is not, and if the many disjointed factions appear as such, it is only that each is settling for the dictums they arc too battle weary to oppose. But, that is hardly a positive sign, and.if in this settling process, the overall "vision” of the University is compromised or made-over, then that too is pegged as a loss. Ketter, throughout his speech, cites a "more mature attitude” toward dealing with the trends affecting us—lowered enrollment and poor economy—and the challenges they impose. Every speech needs a theme, but what is burden equally shared by University units. t Not so resolved He maintains that there was a time when such action was not even contemplated, much less accepted. And while he recognizes that it does not occur without damage to individual’s morales, he says, “We are demonstrating the resolve to take those actions which have to be this takr V But only ' f r! ■ f nuclear power and promoting alternative energies, onethird to national organizations to be used in the same manner, and one-third to finance a media campaign to neutralize the pro-nuke corporate advertising blitz. MUSE consists of two independent bodies. The production board is comprised of rock musicians Jackson Browne. John Hall, Graham Nash and Bonnie Rakt. Other members of the production board are Sam Lovejoy, a co-founder of the Clamshell Alliance; David Felton, an alternative journalist and PR man for political causes; Howard Kohn, a journalist famous for his treatment of the Karen Silkwood case; and Tom Campbell, leader of the Pacific Alliance, a longstanding promoter of “cause concerts.” The other faction is a foundation comprised of various movement people such as Tom Hayden. Harvey Wasserman, a co-founder of the Clamshell Alliance and Richard Pollack, Director of Critical Mass. The task of the foundation it to ensure proper disbursement of money raised by the cause. It has developed a standardized grant application in order to review an organization’s request for funds. The form asks for a general description of the group as well as the —continued on p*ga 22— favorite tactic of evasion. If we are not fully direct the action. Ketter not unique, then neither is Ketter’s should not solely eqpate the performance. People here are responsibility for service with basically tired of being fed that funding. In his 1978 statement, he cited the argument. request by various elected officials and Love Canal residents for Missions Research, as Ketter states, ms a professional expertise on the necessary lifeline for an institution breadth and seriousness of the toxic of this size. but. faculty waste problem and solutions. “1 am participation in it here may be certain,” he said in last year’s spurred by more than an “increased speech, “that they (faculty) will the of a larger make important contributions to willingness” our awareness and understanding .” of the problem But the Task Force fizzled—and totally failed in what could have been an excellent opportunity to service the community, especially at a time of desperation. Additionally, at least in long-term interests, work on a project the magnitude of the Love Canal could have provided a firm basis for future research, and credentials impressive enough to summon its funding. But the “mission” turned largely into a few professors’ efforts —totally independent of any University group. , ' " . . Teaching that theme? The acceptance of authority? A more reserved stature in dealing with discomfort? Although factions may be resolving themselves to the struggle which has come to characterize existence at this University, the mere acceptance of what is (supposed reality), rather than what could be, is not a sign of a maturing University. Ketter speaks of “trade-offs” necessary here—disconnecting phones to save for duplicating machines or adding “resources”—essentially faculty—to one unL by denying them from another. Trade-offs is a synonym for “sacrifices” and the two cited by him are hardly equal or their Inside: ‘Wrinkled radical—P. 8 / University must resolve themselves. Who is the “we??” Departments—especially in the Humanities—are not so resolved or acceptant of the faculty depletion. And the “awareness” that we are not unique among Universities in our financial predicament, has not been medicine enough to some wounded morales—not to teachers who are overburdened because fellow faculty members have been cut, department chairmen who must act as liaisons between their and upper instructors administration, and least of all students who see only closed classes. Pointing out that “we” are not unique among universities- is a number of faculty to accept responsibility for seeking external funds. Kettcr presents related dollar figures in terms of the monolithic “we.” but again, all factions of this University dp not—or'do not have to—share research responsibilities equally. And the willingness is more accurately translated into a nochoice situation—the University cannot supply research dollars and a strong department is dependent upon it. But Ketter’s biggest mistake deals with his analysis of the University’s service mission. He is correct when he states that the increased extension of programs into the community is the. greatest claim to public funding. But that end should ‘Prodigal Sun’—Pp. 9-16 / Pubbing it—P. 18 / Students—who Ketter says make up the reason for UB’s existence —always come last. The only voiced concern for them in the speech is couched in numbers. and Enrollment attribition/retention figures have become the “students” to which Ketter refers. He delays mentioning teaching “for emphasis” and then explains that it includes more than classroom experience. A very smooth way of avoiding the question of teaching evaluation. And although one can supposedly detect “a new concern for teaching,” the same old problems remain: Few incentives for good teachers, no systematic evaluation method and little real respect for the teaching art from within the Supposedly, all the research, all the curriculum development, all the deliberated careful and consideration that goes into planning and academic decisionmaking here is designed to improve education. But in essence, students are to be attracted and retained, and the insincerity of his rhetoric seeps through the guards the speech sets up. —continued on page 22— Giving it up for grades—P. 20 i ’ i �CM �Unclear guidelines cause UB to violate EOF policy B&Ml by Joe Simon Campus Editor , has been introduced in the State Legislature to allow public colleges and universities the same right as private schools. wordta *.

Faculty Senate Chairman Newton Oarver blasted a suggestion Wednesday that faculty surveys assessing University President Robert L. Ketter’s performance be accompanied by “secret Secret COOeS* on faculty survey o f Ketter would violate privacy numerical codes” identifying the respondent. The codes were offered as a way around new presidential evaluation guidelines which forbid the use of “nonattributable information.” The, guidelines also prohibit the use of surveys or °P*nion P° Us_a restriction the Faculty Senate voted to defy last The possibility of tagging each survey with a code number emerged at Wednesday’s meeting of the Senate’s Executive Committee. chairman of the Modern Languages Department Edward Dudley, speaking for the Faculty of Arts and Letters, suggested that each professor completing the survey be assigned a number. He said that a listing of professors and their numbers could then be giveto to the outside review team. It could then trace down the source of the input—perhaps making the use of surveys more acceptable to the SUNY Board of Trustees. But Carver said that such coding would be “pandering to the Trustees.” (The Trustees set the new guidelines for all State schools last Spring transferring the responsibility for evaluating incumbent presidents from campus groups to an external review team.) “They have no business,” Carver asserted, “telling us how we can gather the information we present to the outside team. It’s an affront to the integrity of the University.” Confidentiality guaranteed Carver said that the guidelines guarantee confidentiality throughout the review process, except for the President’s own statement on the condition on the campus and the final evaluation report, which must be made public. He said that he will identify those faculty members he consults only by position—for example “a full Psychology professor.” The survey, which was originally prepared before the guidelines were changed, is being revamped. Sociology professor Theodore Mills, one of those working on the revision, said the previous survey was too ambiguous. He hopes to clear up this ambiguity and phrase the questions so that they gauge faculty opinion on how Ketter is filling—or not fulfilling—his responsibilities as President. The survey is slated to be examined by the Executive Committee next ' Wednesday. Language placement tests done away with; advisement relied upon Spectrum , Staff Writer Placement tests are no longer given by the Foreign Language Department due to their educational unfeasibility and the inconvenience caused to both students and instructors, according to Assistant Profesor Jeanette Ludwig. these tests—then years ago Two mandatory—were discarded and substituted with a system based on the cooperation of student, instructorand undergraduate advisor. Previously, binding placement tests were distributed to interested language students during Freshman Orientation. These tests were an integral part of the program, but were time consuming. The scores were tabulated immediately and students were placed in course levels appropriate to their knowledge of the language. In the summer of 1977, these tests were discontinued by joint decision of the department mid the Division of Undergraduate Education (DUE). Liason to the Foreign Language department and DUE advisor John Riszko believes the tests did not account for certain variables, such as the differences in high school instruction. Ludwig concurs but offered an additional reason. “Neither the time nor the personnel was available to the summer [orientation] people, she explained, to let the tests be continued. Both Ludwig and Riszko agree that it was possible for students to manipulate the tests by feigning ignorance, which would lead to their being placed in a lower level course awnyway. One , DUE advisor, who wished to remain anonymous, believes there was an additional reason: “The department needed students [before the tests were stopped], so they let anyone take lower level courses.” ” Aerospace Corporation Will |t JntervJawigg ON CAMPUSES Angry students Department Chairman Edward Dudley and Riszko dismiss this explanation and point to increased language enrollment figures for the Fall ’79 semester. Many students are angered that, without placement tests, advanced students are allowed to take beginning level courses. One novice is “teed off’ with this practice and fears for her grade, as she could “get killed with the curve.” This last fear and feelings of inferiority are the two most popular complaints lodged against the current practice of allowing all students into low level Courses.

Social activist and lawyer begs for emphasis on citizens' action by Robert Linquantl Spectrum Stuff Writer From the moment he entered the press conference, activist lawyer William M.

A victim of such letters, she lost her career and eventually committed suicide. “Seburg was murdered by the FBI; they destroyed her as a human being,” he remarked. Kuhstler emphasized that Americans must get involved. “We are like ostriches with our heads in the sands of nothingness: we live illusions.” He believes “the system” encourages spectator sports and television, as the Romans did Circus Maximus, to keep peoples’ minds “soggy and politically inactive.” the present political system is little more than a tool for the economically powerful, charged the balding, scraggly-haired lawyer. “We trot to the polls and vote for Tweedledum or Twcedledee,” he said, “but these candidates must be acceptable to the economic power structure; it rules all of us.” He drew welcomed laughter and scattered applause with his jabs at today’s pervasive cynicism and careerism. “Shut up, keep your nose clean, and look out for number one, like good little ciphers,” Kunstler mimicked. “This is what the system wants you to do, it’s what this University’s Board of Trustees wants you to do.” Kunstler, who has defended clients such as the Chicago 7, the Attica Brothers, and Joann Little, spoke to a capacity crowd in Squire Hall’s Fillmore Room Wednesday night. His topic was Justice in America, and from what the 60-year-old Columbiatrained civil rights lawyer has experienced in the U.S. law system, it is a grim subject. Kunstler told the crowd that “American Capitalism is a colossus, wanting only to acquire more economic power. There is no justice; if you re on the side of the angels, you do what you wish.” According to Kunstler, those irl power fear people uniting behind causes and will use any means to keep them apart. He gave several examples of how the system prevents rebellion. “It uses co-optation, in which making a black man mayor in a problem city takes the edge offof rebellion,” he said.

If nothing else, recent protests and acts of civil disobedience have demonstrated that nuclear critics did not ‘die out’ following the accident at Three Mile Island. Most of the anti-nukes on hand for the latest demonstrations see their actions as part of a growing social movement, destined for success. Protesters arrested at both Indian Point, New York and an earlier ... . To hard core demonstrators, nuclear power is a gut issue, something that demands they join hands and scream out a collective ‘NO.’ Although most protesters are generally ignorant of the scientific aspects of controlled reactions, they believe that their cause is justified and no number ofhandcuffequipped police can limit their enthusiasm, For the most part, those who attend antinuclear rallies are not really aware of what happens inside a reactor core, or what safety precautions the industry has taken. Few even care. Three Mile Island is still relatively fresh in the American mind, and is perhaps more responsible for elevated rally attendance than logic, or the thousands of leaflets routinely handed out by organizers. Indeed, many of the people attending rallies are scared and go only to ask questions, expecting to find somebody who will provide honest answers to issues raised by the T.M.I. accident. It is not hard to remember nuclear protests a few years ago that drew only a handful! of “environmental fanatics, health'food freaks, and Vietnam era burnouts.” Those demonstrations, like most current day affairs, were designed to impress the newsmedia through the use of strikingly visual media events held at impressive, though politically impotent nuclear installations. Anti-nuclear organizers have always measured the success of their protests by how much media attention the event received, rather than by rally attendance, or more subjective measures—notably, political gain. Happenings Politically neutral writers, photographers SHIRT SLOGAN: This man wears his view on his chest "no nukes are good nukes." — demonstration at Shoreham, New Hampshire, view themselves as heroes, proudly following in the steps of the late Mahatma Gandhi and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. To activists, the ahti-nuclear position is no longer simply a cause, but has developed into a full scale movement, complete with endorsements from idolized rock and movie stars. Most of those who continue to fight atomic fission are truly concerned about the potential health risks, and environmental dangers often thought to be associated with nuclear power. The horrifying connection organizers have fabricated between commercial reactors and Hiroshima, though completely illogical, is none-the-less quite frightening. Nuclear engineers and Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) officials continue to tell the public that an atomic explosion like the one at Hiroshima is not possible at a commercial power plant. Yet, it is easy for protesters to stretch their imaginations and picture a massive nuclear explosion at Indian Point, complete with a huge mushroom cloud rising over the tiny village of Buchanan. and city-editors have naively comprised the backbone of the anti-nuclear cause by covering staged non-events. Meaningless balloon launchings and walking vigil lines tied to the Hiroshima bombing have become all too common. So common that in recent years editors have been increasingly hesitant to commit manpower and news space to these artificial happenings. The anti-nuclear movement was slowly burning itself out when trouble developed at Three Mile Island, giving the movement a final chance for powerful survival, and a last shot at actually achieving its stated goal; the elimination of nuclear power and weapons from world economies. To capitalize on the impact of that accident, demonstrators had to once again catch the public’s eye. This time, civil disobecUencc and mass arrests were called into play, organizers tying their protest to the bombings in Japan. Illegal actions developed as a new hook, something that could, not be ignored by Walter Cronkite, or the thousands of local newspapers that carried word of arrests. When prbtest organizers design such civil violations they are cautious to plan every action, and have always gone to great lengths to eliminate the possibility of unplanned violence. Every demonstration, whether set to include disobedience or not, is carefully scripted, with copies of the game plan given to police long in advance. Law agencies, in turn, map out and release their own strategy, so that when demonstration day roles around, everyone follows the prearranged script. Ironically, this overplanning without HUNG UP: The Nuclear Movement hae by no means died; its alive and attempting to overcome the many obstacles corporations, government and, in torn* caws, tha madia to a "nuclear fraa future." spontaneous news value is sometimes fragmented nuclear cause, which has always lacked central guidance Even without its own candidate, the nuclear cause can be expected to play an important role in upcoming presidential politics. The anti-nuclear movement has always been a melting pot of other groups all pitching their own causes. These other groups, ranging from gay rights to the Communist party, are certainly not the center of the no-nuke movement, but they have made it very difficult for the masses to identify with, and support the anti-nuclear cause. While it is very tempting to allow nuclear gatherings to be used for passing petitions on a wide variety of issues, the movement may start to narrow its affiliations, and discourage the visible participation of splinter groups. It is these groups that serve only to turn the general middle-of-the-road population away from what could be a universally accepted cause. The movement may also work to change the emphasis of actions from standard ‘negative nuke’ to a more positive ‘pro solar’ orientation. While such solar ideals have always been under the surface of nuclear demonstrations, it is quite possible these feelings will spring to the top, and lead the movement in a more acceptable direction away from local nuclear plants. The public is tired, of hearing about problems. If anti-nukes can really offer viable solutions, perhaps people are still willing to listen. — blacking the way — precisely what has caused the lack of public and press interest that has, in the past, damaged the momentum of the anti-nuke movement. Alternatives Anti-nuclear leaders, who have long objeefed to physical or violent confrontations, will be hard pressed to develop effective protest alternatives that will still attract public attention without jeopardizing personal safety or raising public anger. Clearly the anti-nuclear movement is facing a very critical period of its development, and will soon be forced to take some kind of dramatic action to preserve the power given the cause by Three Mile Island. It should be noted that current leadership is truly committed to non-violence, and will not tolerate actions that could cause personal injury or damage the passive reputation this movement has earned. Perhaps the anti-nuke organization will move in a more political direction, utilizing traditionally strong demonstrations in Albany or Washington. These actions would of course be directed at lawmakers who actually have the power to control or eliminate the nuclear industry. Or, we may see an anti-nuclear representative launch a single issue campaign in the 1980presidential race, forcing political recognition of nuclearenergy a$ an American concern.

The Spectrum currently finds Itself facing a question many publications are also grappling with—whether or not to uphold freedom of speech at the risk of offending a portion of ourreaders. Recently, the Village Voice (once the advocacy newspaper) faced dissension within its own ranks over the publication of an “objectionable” editorial cartoon in which the word “nigger” appeared. In later Issues, debate raged through the Voice’s pages by both staffers and readers. Those Voice staffers In disagreement with the cartoon’s critics shouted “thought police.” The critics shouted “racist." Nothing was resolved. Rightfully, the Voice will still not advocate censorship and, rightfully, those who are offended by published material still complain. Here at The Spectrum, we are not being criticized for printing “objectionable” editorial material—staff-written copy or artwork—but for the publication of certain ads deemed offensive by certain readers and staff. As Is stands now The Spectrum advertising policy (made clear to advertisers) reads: “We reserve the right to reject any advertising at the discretion of both the Business Manager and the Edltor-in, Chlef." This year, we have only censored ads that we believe false or Illegal. This past summer, we ran an ad’in our pages for a bar—the ad’s content was interpreted by many as blatantly crude towards women—In the same issue, with an article about sexist advertising on the whole, Inciting an indignant reader to ask: “Don’t you read your own articles?” The bar continued Its practice. In the September 14,1979 issue of The Spectrum, Rootle’s Pump Room advertised a “Flesh Party” and announced “Meat over 1Q0 girls, Guys... this is your chance to some and get AHEAD This time, dissent within our own ranks ensured and several editors were approached by readers appalled that their college newspaper would run an ad supporting the view of women as sexual objects. As a student newspaper, our Job is to inform students of news and events which directly and Indirectly affect them and, more importantly, to stimulate thought and debate at a University where such desires are often muted. Are we responsible to our readers’ sensibilities (and to which readers?), to our own moral conscience, or are we responsible for supporting freedom of the press—for ourselves as well as our advertisers? We would like to think we are an advocacy Journal. We would like to think we believe in causes that benefit our generation. We take the risk of being tagged ‘‘liberal” because the majority of our What is dangerous? To the Editor; .. editorial board believe their Individual politics are so. Yet we have run military ads, ads that can be interpreted as sexist, and ads that can be interpreted as racist. So we have yet to resolve this pressing question—where does our collective moral conscience tie? On the side of freedom of speech or behind censorship of offensive ads (possibly prohibiting ads that many of our readers don’t object to). We have argued that information Is not dangerous. But do we want to pay for our pages with “blood money?" The Spectrum's editorial board will soon sit down and rationally debate this question of censorship or freedom. This Is not the first editorial board to do so. Two years ago, the then board members voted to overturn a previous and longheld ban on military ads. In a long and emotional session, the pros and cons of running sexist and racist ads were also debated. No doubt, whatever is decided by this year’s board will again be questioned by future editorial boards. It is to be expected and encouraged. The Spectrum Is made up of people with Intellects, consciences, and feelings. Often the practicalities of the newspaper’s day-to-day workings do not allow these qualities to blend or to reveal themselves to you. We constantly question ourselves and our decisions just as we constantly question those we write about. We think as one entity while trying to maintain our own Individiual stances. It Is a difficult task. Until we, as a collective board, decide on the status of our advertising policy, we can only ask of you one task—to follow your own conscience. Maintain your own individual stance. Do not patronize those businesses whose advertising policies you feel are offensive. That is your freedom of choice.

The editorial of the 17th says, “It dannot be argued that information is dangerous. Information, when used improperly, can be dangerous ..." It seems that the second sentence supplies the hint of a counterexample to the first. That is, you have supplied the framework from which to argue that information is dangerous (that is, It has the potential to do harm). This view seems all too similar to that of one who insists that it cannot be argued that guns are dangerous but admits that they can be dangerous if improperly used. By the first sentence above quoted do you only mean that information is not always dangerous? Perhaps, but this does not cut to the heart of the debate. In other words, anyone who might disagree with the conclusion of your editorial could still very well admit that information is not always dangerous. So, we’re still puzzled. Admitting that information is sometimes dangerous (as you do) the question becomes: When is it dangerous and in what trustworthy way can we determine when It is dangerous, and is it sometimes so dangerous that we are better off ignorant? We would appreciate it if you clarified those remarks made In the editorial of the 17th. Thank you. Terence O’Connel, Instructor and the Class of Philosophy 107 section C Editor’s Note: Information in itself is not dangerous. Misused Information can be dangerous. The reason misuse of information is dangerous is that It is mistaken for proper use of information. Thus, what Is potentially dangerous is the acjtion of using or misusing information. I would argue that guns, unlike information, increase the potential for danger. Information increases the potential for safety and rationality. Information about guns decreases the potential danger of such weapons. Perhaps, this clarified a poorly-worded sentence. Plxaedrus by Robert G. Basil When the Dalai Lama visited the U.S. this month, “objectivity” In our country’s media went out to lunch, as usual. The Tibetan spirtiual leader’s trip here, the first ever of its Kind, has been politically manhandled and manipulated by a national press as unfair and as warped as any other In the world, "free” or otherwise. Those hallowed purveyors of good ole American reporting, especially the New York Times and Time Magazine, rejected the possibility of using the Lama’s visit as a chance to explain an Eastern culture to their readership, and opted instead to exploit it as a vehicle voicing the political and cultural doctrines of the United States. This sadly is not surprising. These journals of supposed impartial writing are so often merely the arms of State Department ideology and our nation’s shallow popular culture. In the case of the Lama’s visit, the mistreatment was twofold: a chance to malign (as always) the political policies of China and its continuing “cultural revolution;” and to stupidly and (no kidding) unfavorably compare “our" Christianity with "thelr“ Buddhism, which in fact, really Isn’t Buddhism at all. In a prominently placed article last week, for example, a Times headline blared something like Buddhist Leader Says East Can Learn From Christianity. Many Buddhists, the Lama was quoted as saying, are lacking a certain “practicality" supposedly' found in Christian action. But this statement was assuredly offered to diplomatically offset the many criticisms he directed towards the emptiness and expedienceof American life. These other statements were found, of course, ambiguously paraphrased towards the end of the article. And Time magainze printed the Lama’s doubtlessly out of context quote that "all great religions are basically the same." Buddhism, with Its nonthelstlc doctrines espousing a gentlei holistic spirituality, is in no way comparable to or compatible with Christian dogma and the faith required to follow it. In fact, of the one-half billion adherents to the Buddhist philosophy (really not a religion at all) only about six million are Tibetan Buddhists. This esoteric and ritualistic strain of Buddhist thought, practiced in the Himalayan mountain range in Nepal, Bhutan and Tibet, is for the most part regarded as heretical by the rest of the Buddhist world. So obviously the Lama—misquoted, misrepresented or not—has no authority to speak for the worldwide Buddhist community which neither has nor needs a leader. No doubt the media are aware of this point. But who cares? It’s not their point. In order to reinforce the structure of narrowminded Western values, our press chose to purposely shroud Buddhism in contradiction and myth, even though the most Important ideas of the philosophy are easily accessible and understood; and America would definitely do well to think about them. Similarly, Time magazine studiously devotes its pattern of noncomprehension to the Tibetan Buddhist movement in the United States, lazily generalizing that, ''many people 30 and younger are drawn to Oriental religions that explore Inner spiritual resources”—as If Eastern philosophy were but a youthful fad. In fact, an entire college, the prestigious Naropa institute of Boulder Colorado, is devoted to Tibetan studies and research, along with an Eastern approach to other disciplines. Renowned poet Allen Ginsburg, well above 30, is a member of the Poetics faculty there. So far, the only acceptable treatment of the Lama and the culture he embodies is in that dependable bastion of in-depth Journalism, Rolling Stone. This magazine, of course, has a hefty advantage: It doesn't count on government allied corporation for Its advertising. Stereo and record manufacturers, it would seem, believe that they could thrive any religious system. �■v * * feedback V •A#' V s? ■ fij» • * . Complain in force To the Editor: • , _ I feel obliged to respond to Ray Bergan's September 17 letter to the editor concerning Physic’s Professor Beth. In the Spring of 1976, Dr. Beth began teaching the second semester of the year long Physics 113-114 course I was taking. Or. Day had satisfactorily taught the first half of the course and all students had anticipated having Or. Day for the second semester. In the first weeks of the Spring semester, students bitterly complained about Dr. Beth’s teaching incompetence to the Physics Department, to the University Administration and to The Spectrum. Dr. Beth was soon replaced by Dr. Day as the course instructor. At the time, It was widely rumored that political motives were behind the department chairman's decision to put Dr. Beth in charge of a course he was obviously not prepared to teach. Soon after Dr. Day moved up in the Physic Department administration. Some physics graduate students defended Dr. Beth and explained that he was quite good with graduate level courses. Unfortunately, I don’t Know the full story. For those of you now taking 107 with Dr. Beth, I suggest Immediately complaining in force to the department and administration. The physics department should Know better by now. I Invite anyone to respond who can acurrately explain the intradepartmental politics behind these teaching assignments. Marlon Russel Koenlgsberg Graduate Student Unofficial icotion To the Editor In reference to Professor Molefl Asante’s remarks published in The Spectrum (Sept. 7, 1979), I wish to state that while Professor Assante has a right to his own personal opinion about the Andrew Young affair (and any other matter), his anti-semItic and racist views do not reflect the official policy of the Department of Communication. Since Professor Asante identified himself as a “professor of communication,” I wish to disassociate our department from his views. Sincerely, Diggs on Goetz The style with which Tomas Goetz chose to write his article reveals something about the article on which he comments and something about his own feelings on those issues, probably more than he would like to have publicly known. Joel Dreyfuss wrote a probing, honest, and searching analysis that helps to explain why the thrust of black and Jewish political actions have taken two different and sometimes conflicting directions. Goetz responded with a bitter letter of biting sarcasm. He used a rhetorical style which has proven effective in some instances but he errs ia -adamantly refusing to comment on the specific cases presented by Joel Dreyfuss. The rhetoric he uses falsely characterizes the issues and points in the first article without dealing substantively with the article’s analysis. Only once does he border on responding to Dreyfuss' observations but that is confounded by an internal contradiction in his argument. I refer to the paragraph wherein Goetz attempts to justify actions by Jewish organizations (B’nai B’rith and Israel) and then boasts that many Jews opose those actions, which seems to indicate that Goetz himself finds those actions untenable. Further, Goetz makes unfounded charges of anti-Semitism and hate as being the substance of the Dreyfuss article. Why would Tomas Goetz choose sarcastic rhetoric rather than a genuine rebuttal to the arguments presented? Could it be that the hate he sees is that which he projects? Perhaps Dreyfuss’ presentation rang too true for Goetz to admit to himself that they could have some value and correctness without being hateful or anti-Semitic. The simple fact of not being in ‘the best interest’ of some segment of the Jewish community is not enough to categofize an idea as being Anti-Semitic. . I fear that Goetz’s actions were more conscious and contrived than I would like to believe. Perhaps he painted the first article as “seething with hate” In hopes of Invalidating the substantive conclusions and relationships that Oreyfuss draws. This serves tp lead the reader to believe that If he'agrees with any of the points made in the article It is because he is “seething with hate" and anti-Semitic. I would not encourage anyone to be anti-anybody for racial, ethnic or sexual reasons. A truly broad-minded person keeps a close monitor on his own feelings to make sure such attitudes don’t slip in. unnoticed and unneutrallzed. Goetz tries to include himself in this group in the eye of the reader by adding .that, he supports black rule In black Africa but he fails to comment on the continued oppression of blacks In this country; he falls to comment on the persisting roadblocks to blacks holding- any modicum of power reflecting their disproportionately large unrewarded contribution to the affluence and emminence of the United States. This Is a noteworthy ommlssion In the light of the contents of the article upon which he comments. I ask that the reader read again the article 'by Joel Dreyfuss appearing in The Spectrum on September 12.1 believe that an open mind will not find the article to be attacking or anti-anything, but an evaluation which some of you may find to fit the political scene of today. I ask, also, that you read Tomas Goetz’s response of September 14. Therein < believe you will find the central error that many people who believe the recent press ’hype’ make. They fail to recognize that black America is not verbally attacking Jewish people but U.S. foreign policy supporting suppression of Palestinian rights, that is, those very same rights for which Israel has fought. Now, even ithe U.S. is realizing that that cannot be right. Gerald M. Qoldhaber Chairman 1 To the Editor: John R. Diggs, Jr. . f �m i Gray Panthers j Leader urges leveling barriers by Jean-Marc Bran Spectrum Staff Writer The establishment of a new age, based on the principles of social justice and human liberty where it is “OK to be old,” was called for by Gray Panther leader Maggie Kuhn in Squire Hall’s Conference Theater Tuesday night. Kuhn maintained that this new age can come about by the united efforts of the young and old, men and women, and people of all racial and ethnic backgrounds. “It will take a unified effort to overcome the injustices of racism, sexism and ageism,’’ declared Kuhn. The 73-year-old co-founder of the Gray Panther activist group who’s been called a self-styled wrinkled radical, recently finished a ten-day lecture tour of Australia. The speech here was held in conjunction with a Tolstoy College (College F) sponsored workshop to be held this semester on ageism. Ageism, which is the discrimination of people based upon their age, “determines, and stereotypes people and makes them subhuman,” she said. Pointing out that “old people” are becoming a larger and larger portion of our population, Kuhn predicted that we must change our attitudes and reintegrate the old into society. The spirited woman claimed, “We arc establishing a permanent underclass of people who are out of the mainstream of society and kept segregated.” She also asserted that the traditional “Golden Years” where the old arc relieved of all responsibility and discouraged from participating in the everyday world, are turning the old into “wrinkled babies." They are leading a stagnant life, she claimed, with nothing left to hope for, to strive for. The old have nothing left to do but die. Old not senile Senior citizens opting to live in such segregated communities as Sun City are abdicating their responsibilities to the rest of society. “We' are the elders of the tribe, the V Nukes endanger everyone Another step towards social change advocated by Kuhn would be the establishment of sabbaticals for everyone. Kuhn pointed out that most people hate their jobs and settle for early retirement. As a result, they eventually get bored and feel useless. Sabbaticals would provide people with a chance to step back and look at how their life is going and give them an opportunity to change it. Kuhn emphasized that the opposition to the proliferation of nuclear power and the haphazard dumping of chemical wastes which endanger the lives of everyone should unite both young and old. Kuhn called for the advancement of alternative sources of energy and wiser longrange use of the land. Amidst a warm reception from the standing-room only crowd at Conference Theater, Kuhn was presented with a plaque by the Multidisciplinary Center for the Study of the Aged of SUNYAB for her contributions to the citizens of Western New York and the country.

She stressed that the University environment offers an opportunity for the young and old to attend classes together, enhancing the teaching and learning enterprise. “This would also serve to disprove the myth that old people are senile and can’t learn,’’ said Kuhn. Kuhn advocates cross generation housing through the redefining of the family unit to bring young and old together. The family unit will be two or more people who live together, share resources, interests, lifestyles and care for ech other regardless of age differences. She cited an example where the Boston Gray Panthers purchased a 16-room house and successfully established a crossgeneration co-op where both the young and older members shared interests and learned to care for one another. , Guys-1.00 .20 beers 9-1 am SATURDAY Rolling Rock Night 3 splits/1.00 .50 admission free shirts & free prizes SUNDAY Return of Open Mike Night Anyone brave enough to perform is welcome free admission MONDAY Oldies Night .25 admission' \ .50 screwdrivers .75 kamakazis, WEDNESDAY Return of Baccardi Night free shirts, free mugs, free key chains free admission Baccardi & Coke 2/1.00 late night menu SUBS, PIZZA, TACOS, WINGS till 2:30 am weekends Friday & Saturday till 1:30 am weekly A diviwon of FSA GRAY LADY: Maggie Kuhn, vocal head of the Gray Panthers a coalition of young and old who work for the rights of the elderly — - addressed students in Squire Hall Tuesday night.

Bee Gees, Buffalo Memorial Auditorium, September 14,1979 After five glittering nights on Broadway, or thereabouts, the Bee Gees lit up the Aud Friday with a vibrant, almost two hour long set. Barry Gibb's ventilated moans brought the high school girls to vocal orgasm while the rest of the well mixed crowd delighted in a fluid medley of Bee Gees classics. Dressed In their customary silver and white skin-tights, which mirrored their dazzling rainbow light show, the Bee Gees opened with "Tragedy," their latest hitfrom Spirits Having Flown. In a night filled with creative special effects, "Tragedy" featured two thunderous explosions and the striking colors of the 2001 dance floor turned . intense balance to his song far greater than anything heard on his acclaimed ECM recordings. Besides Weber's stunning command as a bassist (disciplined fire), the Music's grit came from the bright siftings of renowned Soft Machine drummer John Marshall, and Charles Mariano (remembered for his fine work with Mingus & one-time wife Toshiko Akiyoshi) summoning spirited quiet on curved soprano saxophone & wood flute. Weber's keyboardist was a fellow German whose approach w£s delightfully simple, displaying how constructively electronics can be made to sing. His equally simple verbosity on the acoustic piano could range at times into deceptively complex stormfronts. v The combined result was a glowing impressionism full of lyrical force, easily among the finest of Weber's performances.

Then was time. it "Staying The Bee Gees touched on 11 songs in their time trip back to 1967, highlighted by "Massachusetts," "How Can You Mend A Broken Heart," "I Started A Joke" and "Nights On Broadway" comprising the. backdrop of soft pastels. The disco image has followed Barry, Robin and Maurice since 1976, but the group's strength lies more in its flawless harmony than its disco sound. While Barry and Robin handled the vocals on "Holiday," Maurice hammed it up for an appreciative audience. Acting left out, he paced across stage, checked his watch and fixed his hair to kill time. While the balding Maurice supplied the.* comic moments, Barry was clearly the sex symbol. His rapport with the crowd was the strongest, although his soft solo "Words" got the poorest reaction from the audience, which must have expected more. Though Robin's singing was faultless, he was totally colorless on stage. He doesn't speak during the act or move well, and he is neither funny nor good looking. Personality seemed less important on the later numbers, as attention focused on skillful drummer Dennis Bryon. Suprisingly among the missing was "How Deep Is Your Love," perhaps the Bee Gees' best song. It was a mainstay on the current tour which began in June and will run to the beginning of October, but apparently they got tired of it. Mark Meltzer — • — Eberhard Weber, Tralfamadore Cafe, September 16, 1979 Last Sunday was the first time had ever heard bassist Eberhard Weber live, and the experience was quite pleasant. His mystical as ever. music was as wispish and Here, however, the floating otherworldliness was underscored by an earthy insistency which brought a shining, I so that it was tedious or, more positively, exceptionally professional. Yet the tightness and the vocals in "Starry Eyes" has been heard before with the Byrds. The lead vocalist John Wicks does not compromise the sweetness qf "Teenarama" for ninny-ness and the bassist keeps a rhythm which exudes easy fun combined with wonderful adolescent sorrow. Lackawanna rockers and Alyn Syms Group, began the evening with a blend of Zeppelin and Jeff Beck type white blues and R&B. The performance was only fairto-good because the influences of Zeppelin and Beck were becoming emulation. And emulation leads to copying which will get them nowhere. Somehow though, with Symn solos that weren't particularly innovative but intricate, with drums that weren't always in synch, and one or two mistakes in Calus' vocals, they still managed to rock. Songs like ''I Remember" have great listenability and l;m willing to believe the band had an off night since I've seen them really cook in practice sessions. If they intertwine the jazzy demos they compiled last year with the harder rock, don't fuse it but keep it eclectic, and if they realize the value of identity, they'll be a supergroup deserving of a national audience. If not, they'll be another Molly Hatchet, as one local critic told me. But I hold high hopes for the Alyn Syms Croup. Harold Goldberg — |oni Mitchell, Blossom Music Center, August 16, 1979 joni Mitchell is more than just a dream —she's versatile and that makes her more real than all singer/songwriters. I mean, maybe if Laura Nyro didn't turn her back on it all, and maybe if Ricki Lee Jones will be more than a fluke, and if Carly Simon wasn’t so elite, I'd be saying the same thing about them. In Cleveland's Blossom Music Center, Mitchell exuded an egotism which never bordered on borrowed hype from her male influence's. I thought that onstage, she was basically asexual, or only wanted to have sex with her audience. This wasn't so much a power trip as it was a shared daydream. She smiled at the dozens of roses thrown to her after "Big Yellow Taxi" which was played on an electric guitar. She was the marvel, the genius and her band just a backdrop—however good they were. Pat Metheny picked his guitar like he wanted to make the deaf hear and Weather Report bassist Jaco Pastorius pulled £ Hendrix parody/tribute which included throwing his bass to the stage and jumping off an amp. Mitchell needed no football rock theatrics, which are interesting as cross-cultural digs only. Mitchell's stunning three-octave voice gave us a movie with "Coyote," a trip to the past with "Why Do Fools Fall In Love" sung with the Persuasions, and jazz with her Mingus stuff. Mitchell displayed the legacy of the century's popular music in the space of an hour and a half. A jazzy version of "Woodstock" topped it off. We were speechless, without sex but with sensual thoughts, sugar plums tap dancing —Harold Goldberg in our heads. �o Holly Hear Draws audience — nearer by Michele Cohen — I have dreamed on this mountain Since first I was my mother's daughter And you can't just take my dreams away—not with me watching You may drive a big machine But I was born a great big woman And you can't take my dreams away—without me fighting Holly Near gave a concert in Buffalo on September 14th. But she did a lot more than just sing. She is a 'woman of remarkable strength and dignity and permitted her audience to feel this strength, share in it, and ultimately leave the It was not only her bell-like tones, performance charged or lively rhythm or catchy melodies, sometimes bordering on show music which remained in your mind when you left. Rather, it was her ability to rouse her listeners to song almost as if leading a religious congregation in prayer. She came to Buffajo under the sponsorship of Emma and The People's Power Coalition. Her publicity billed her as a feminist (as well as a performer for the deaf) captioned with the words, "Singing Against Nuclear Power." So from the beginning politics was part of her concert. Nuclear power, gay rights, sensitivity to the disabled, rape, were all issues that Near addressed. Seemingly, her music and performing style were inseparable from her politics. CN 5 ■g Radiant activist How many concerts have you attended which had an interpreter for the hearing impaired or were given by performers who clapped for you as much as you for them? The written program was more a way to disseminate political information than a supplement to musical entertainment. This further enforced Near's image as a feminist and political activist instead of a star. Perhaps, similar to the prophetic' singers of the sixties, anti-war heroes like Bob Dylan or Phil Ochs, Holly Near has emerged from that decade to confront the issues established in this decade. She is a voice that is assertive and persistent, a voice that will not stand to be silenced. Dressed in a smart vest, man-tailored shirt, and slacks. Near made me think of 'the great big woman' she tellingly sang of at the beginning of the concert. Her bouncing knees, smiles, and gentle gestures radiated a self-joy. It wasn't hard to smile with her or become serious when she expressed concern. She offered insights into herself stressing her continuous thirst to learn and that the process never ended. Her own politics and societal awarenesses developed slowly through her interaction with the other entertainers as well as simple dialogue with her listeners. * w< BUB® Human appeal She quipped about her ignorance on 'heterosexual privilege about previous reactions to the gay community before she came out as a vocal lesbian herself. And she teased the audience. "Would you like to know what it's like to be gay? Well, first tell your parents. If you're really gutsy right before the holidays." Her songs and appeal had a human denominator. She sang >*0|* OLD FASHIONED HAMBURGERS —continued on page 14— OLD RED MILL INN oo<w MAI1W WAIN Mi H“ i a 1. (near Transit Rd.)

I wouldn't have it any other way. The only formal restriction on the Sun's arts coverage I have is that the writer be interested, curious about the story he or she is doing. I insist on having writers committed to doing their best to depict something because the art, the item is real to them, because they care rather than choosing someone solely for his or her Writing ability. 1 think when I do my job well, I only help the writer sharpen, delineate more precisely what he or she observes or thinks about That's it.

They have to be content to cruise around it, making occasional stopovers during the highlights. The revival of the Fugard play has little humor and what humor it has is grim. Unlike the earlier Fugard play Siwze Banzi is Dead, The Island is remote. The play could have survived despite these qualities, could have even capitalized from them. What, however, saps the strength of this production is the spotty use of South African culture as a visceral element of the action. If this play is to mean something to strangers to South Africa, it would have to have the culture of South Africa suffusing through every scene. Otherwise, it will lose its- immediacy. South Africa, for all the press it receives, remains for most Americans something vaguely familiar, but the essence of which escapes them entirely. For The Island to have been fully effective, it would have had to lasso the audience into miasma of South Africa as did Siwze Banzi is Dead instead of giving i it room to drift. — - Universal statement This drifting costs the audience a lot. Had the play been anchored in the cultural climate from which it sprang, it would have been more immediate. When Fugard—a white —first brought this play out of South Africa, he had to bring the black actors out of the country under the guise of being his servants. They wouldn't have been allowed out as actors. In South Africa, the play was secretively performed before mixed audiences under the threat of imprisonment. What was immediate and dangerous in South Africa seemed remove to the audience. But is it really? The Island is a more ambitious work than Siwze Banzi is Dead. Paring down its cast to just two characters, it attempts to be a character study rather than a sociological one. By so doing, Fugard hopes to make a universal statement about the nature of man under extreme duress using his native South Africa as the background. With such a weight placed upon the actors, it is fortunate that Laverne Clay plays John, a prisoner who clings inexorably to getting back at the system that locked him there —and to live to speak of it afterwards. Cashmere Elis as Winston plays a prisoner whose crime seemed darker than John's. He is caught in the system and is going quite mad. Much for the thinking Ellis plays Winston with the tenor of a man who alternates between hysterical laughter and hysterical desperation. Although after a time Winston's behavior is almost predictable, the twosome work well together. Except for a scene of jubilation that seemed patently absurd, they work hard at making the play work. Although they are not often lauded, the set by Lewis Folden and lighting by James Keller are masterfully effective. The predominant tones of dark gray, black and white gain an almost fluid quality as the lighting manipulates them to fit the scene's sentiment. The Island takes risks, exposing its backside to more barbs than a more prudent play with a more prudent director might. And it does falter. But does not fail it may be hard to reach, foreign to our traditional drama, but there is much for the thinking The Island will show tonight and Saturday night at 8 p.m., as well as Sunday at 3 p m, at the Center for Theatre Research, 681 Main St. Tickets are $3, $1.50 for students.

She was beaming as she conducted the 800 people before her in three part harmony. Throughout the concert she was accompanied by Susan Freundlich, an interpreter for the hearing impaired who sang her songs in body movement. Then, without a note sung or played we all lifted our arms in circles, turned our hands, stretched our fingers. Holly Near jubilantly noted, "This is the concert deaf people can hear." Always there playing, giving Near encouragement, was the third person in this unique trio. J.T. Thomas played the piano flawlessly. She blended smoothly with Near in addition to being a personality in her own right. Impish and animated, she waltzed over the keys in original ragtime compositions. As an added treat she offered us, already glowing enthusiasts, a rag time called "Reba, My Amoeba" dedicated to her first crush on a biology teacher. J.T. was irresistable when she chortled, "Then we'll split in two/ So there'll be more of me to love more of you." Publicized as an anti-nuclear concert, the evening ended on that subject. The meaning was explicit as Near sang, "Is > ? - tonight resolutioain our hearts/Or is it just entertainment?" I think Holly Near'S effect was evident. Maybe her sounds dissipated in a matter of seconds, but her message walked out of Kleinhans with the rest of us. f ! The i/V ■ hair deck! jLgskc?'

He has loyalties to every editor and is loyal mainly to himself. The freedom of creativity for a freelance writer is high, yet for a beginner the money is peanuts, The bucks are salt mine stuff; the liberty is Ijke no other job. Except maybe for a rock musician's. Some rock critics write because writing is the closest they can get to being stars. Or they want free records. Not me. I'm naive. I want to bring a spirit of true criticism to rock writing. I dream about being the Mencken, Orwell and Lawrence of rock all rolled into one. But the problem is that rock really shouldn't be reviewed because it's too ephemeral, too lacking in art quality to be considered worthy, I don't quite believe that so I still write. I look for stuff in music that can be analyzed— trends, sexual overtones, middle class philosophy, dreams. If I was writing a diary,,I'd come up with the following. Monday, July 9, 1979 Over and over I play my three favorite records of the year —Elvis Costello's "Armed Forces," Graham Parker's "Squeezing Out Sparks,-and the Rickie Lee Jones album. Oblivious to negative criticism about these singers and chauvinistic about what I like, I sometimes forget, feeling I actually know these people who sing songs You know. Rickie Lee and me sitting on a rock partially submerged in Lake Erie appreciating the flow of the qurrent. A record becomes predictable though, and it’s only the listener's mind that makes repeated songs continually change in theme and sound. Tuesday, July 10, 1979 An electronics influenced band called Mae Furst was the most enjoyable group at a Hallwalls concert showcasing four bands. Paul Huekell played his avant-garde sax. But his solo was only appreciated by a handful from the crew'd of 50 people. Huekell has played with the now-defunct Be-Bop Deluxe, is influenced by them, along with some jazz like Sonny Rollins', some electronics like Kraftwerk's. Tonight, I accidentally played the Woody Allen role, which is expected of me I'm standing against a wall feeling uncomfortable, hoping no one thinks that I'm cool A pretty blonde looks in my direction. Then a brunette. Maybe I am hip. Gee, all these years and didn t know it. Then two blonde men looked my way. Maybe my pants were falling. With back and hands stiffened against the wall, I fingered it like a blind man feels a braille Kafka, looking for answers. I turned around and saw a movie screened against the wall. Outside, Tim Blake, formerly of the new wave Secrets and Plastics, said he was forming a band called the Mannikins, which would sound different than the basic power chords of his former bands. I told him I was thinking of quitting rock writing because it had bored me over the past six months. And freelance publication wasn't getting any easier I wasn't lying about the,banal aspect of rock. This feeling came-in the face of what Village Voice Senior Editor Bob Christgau told me was the best year he'd seen as a music critic, But maybe Christgau wanted to feel like a kid again and New Wave rock grants him that while letting him retain his adult, intellectual, Greenwich Village outlook Blake said, "You can't quit rock writing Rock is the only thing happening!" This view appreciated coming from a musician. Sure, I'll stick with rock for a while. But I want people to know I do other things too.

Friday, July 19,1979 I only attend about two parties per year because people usually talk rock music to me which not only unnerves me but sometimes scares me. It scares me because my theories about music aren't firm yet. But in n«y hometown Lackawanna my friend Donald gave a new wave/punk rock party. Punk has come to Lackawanna under the guiding influence of fellow derelict cum rock writer Tim Switala, who's great friends with Donald One fun-filled guy kept playing a broom, then a vacuum cleaner, then a ladder as Elvis Costello,' Devo and The Ramones boosted our energy. Most people dahced; some exchanged opinion about the Jumpers. The band Switala is in —the punkish, poppish Eddie Haskell Croup—vowed to play at Lackawanna Stadium before summer's end. All this was very appealing. I jittered a subdued but sometimes fitful jitter to the music when this girl tried to get me to dance to the proper rhythm. Damn it; this was rgck; nothing is necessarily proper; you dance m your own dimension Actually I compromised. I moved to her idea'for one song, to mine for two. Enjoyed both, but mine more. Outside the stars were out and there was very little haze from the steel factories' omissions. Ofn course, it was dark so none could see the perpetually falling steel dust which has made my black Plymouth Duster brown. - Tuesday, July 17, 1979 I went to see the Jumpers and Extra Cheese at a free concert at Buffalo State College Extra Cheese combined all forms of popular music In the past 10 years. Radio personality Cary Storm's violin was searing but not intricate. At any Jumpers event, anyone who's followed the band for the past year and a half can talk to at least 20 other fans half of whom you don't know the names of. I talked to and watched two young ladies who'd never seen the Jumpers before. They didn't dance but bobbed their heads up and down sort of reservedly, as I did when I saw the Jumpers for the first time. They didn't dance because they didn't think people could be this uninhibited in public. Fans jumped on stage and were liberated; some rolled on the ground; jittered around; called for encores through the PA system. The Jumpers are perfect rock 'n roll: loud, entertaining: bare cabaret. My heart wondered why the Courier-Express and the Buffalo Evenings News don't cover local bands' concerts. This would boost Buffalo music instead of praising established groups like Bad Company and AC/DC. My head said the papers cater to the masses and are limited by space. And my heart skipped a beat. Sunday, July 22,1979 My colleagues jazz/poet Michael F. Hopkins and flugelhorn player LeRoy Jones gave a reading concert in Delaware Park. Hopkins' poems are about popular culture with the hope that such art will be Infinite. After Hopkins read each line about jazz musicians with a quick, fiery line, Jones, who has studied with saxist Anthony Braxton, would interpret the words with a jazz phrase. How eclectic this performance was. The pair's cross-cultural statements about poetry and music as lyricism appeared to coax joggers and kids and young couples from all over the park to the shady performance area. Vet I hoped that Jones would play throughout a poem as backup and wondered if Hopkins .Could do a poem to backup Jones. Meanwhile, Hopkins' voice was sometimes too whispery towards the end of a phrase. Nevertheless, the setting was idyjiic and you could close your eyes to think of something even more idyllic.w_' «'t iVr* « * .« * �Hardly missing a bast.

Let the debate continue .... * ■ a ,2> I Get the Knack or be a Knuke ... by Robbie Cohen Across the street from Public School 69 in Queens, N.Y., there was this small candy store—luncheonette called Rajah's. It was run by this terribly irascible, thickly accented old man (well, at least he looked real old to us back then) who had to constantly chastise us mischievous grad schoolers for riflihg through the devil's temptation array of girly magazines on his newsrack. Frozen Milky Way bars cost seven cents in Rajah's, versus fivfe cents for the unfrozen variety, and we used to joke that the cheap old man charged us two cents extra for the added electric bill he incurred for refrigerating this confectionary. All the kids at 69 were unanimous that Rajah's was a "gVP." so we used to gyp him back by stealing candy and ice cream, amidst snickers and chuckles. We were well aware that this petty larceny was dangerous and probably immoral but our consciences were clear because Rajah was "cheap" and he had It coming to him. It was Autumn '64; blue skies, sunshine and crisp air. The Beatles had just made their appearance on the Ed Sullivan Show and the four moptops were the rage of America.'Everyone was wearing thesd large Th« album com aay» it all.. Are you being manipulated? white Beatle buttons, which Rajah's sold by the hundreds: "I love Ringo," "I love Paul" (which was the most popular among the girls), or if you were a surly nine year old like me, the "Stamp out the Beatles" button was most appropriate. Anxiety of influence In fifteen years, the music scene and the whole world for that matter, is much different. Yet there are similarities. The back-tofundamentals music of the New Wave, which has resuscitated the stagnant droll and unexciting rock world of the mid 70's, has made its mark, emerging from the underground and sweeping like wildfire across the commercial airwaves. Blondie, the Cars, Elvis (Costello), who only a few years ago had meager although enthusiastic followings in the clubs of London and New York, are now full fledged superstars. The New Wave, or at least its new pop commercial manifestation, is selling and selling briskly In this milieu, the appearance of blatantly commercial quasi-New Wave was inevitable. If it's hot, the labels will do their damndest to , promote, package and otherwise market it. Which brings us to the group with the number one album and single in America, the so-called Beatles of the 80's, The Knack. Slick Unless you've been in exiled seclusion at a Himalayan ashram, you couldn't help but catch the incessant beat of the Knack's hit single, / "My Sharona." "My Sharona" 's pounding rhythm does indeed grab you and demand your attention. You can't ignore it, it's true, which is reflected in the plethora of music reviewer invectives against this insidious new phenomenon, this prime example of slick marketing and listener manipulation that is The Knack. "The Knuke the Knack" movement is growing, with a whole new spinoff industry in buttons and T-shirts. Many of its members will deny wearing "Stamp Out the Beatles" lapel buttons when they were little squirts back in 1964, but they and many others have mailed in their orders for "Knuke the Knack" T-shirts. The Knack has provoked a remarkable backlash. The critics are rankled and pure Mink New Wavers are indignant. The Knack never made the cluMcene, so the critics and club patrons never had a a new surging band. The Knack was created and produced in California, far from the ferment, yet they're the latest example of the one album superstars, following in the steps of Eddie Money and Boston. And New Wave music is not supposed to be born that way. The Knack had it easy, they didn't struggle and sweat it out for years fn dingy, rowdy basement clubs. No, producer Mike Chapman smelled millions with the Knack in his hands, so he marketed them in a cutesy Beatle package image, with smiling faces against a white background on the album coyer, the old Beatles Capitol label on the disc, a hook title. Get the Knack. discover Harmless frustration And boy are the reviewers mad. The most vicious and calculated example of manipulation the world has ever seen, they say, a mass produced saccharine clone of a barbarous, 'unscrupled industry. But the industry has always been unscrupled. And record marketing has always been calculated on Madison Avenue. The Monkees and Grand Funk were both blatant commercial items, recruited by industry auditions, and created by savvy producers. Croups have always been at the mercy of unscrupulous managers and labels, it's a dog eat dog business. Why now, the reviewers so pissed off? Well honestly I don't understand it. The reviewers condemn The Knack as puerile misogynists, rabid woman haters. The song itself (case in point: "Good Girls Don't") has a pleasant enough melody. Certainly there's other stuff on the radio that's trashier and more contemptible. What's all the fuss over, a harmless adolescent frustration song? Why is it taken so seriously? The Knack, it's true, is a neat package, but if you view it that way, then they're merely pawns. The industry itself should be the enemy. Although how one goes about undermining an entrenched industry like the record business, besides creating new independent labels, is beyond me. For the industry itself is just one facet of a strangling, market-oriented capitalist society, right? Disco sucks See at this point it gets all too politicized. Liking and not liking is much simpler, it comes down to personal taste. I liked "My Sharona" the first time I heard it played on the radio. For someone to tell me I liked it just because I was subconsciously manipulated is absurd. I never saw the packaging and promotion, I didn't even-know who the . group was. All I knew was that it got me bopping. How was I seduced? It's one thing to attack the record industry, but it's another to lash out at particular songs or groups as the incarnation of the entire greedy, huckster business. And despite the business, a lot of quality talent makes it through. I think the political discussion should be reserved for a more appropriate forum and not_exploited in simplistic, mindless bandwagon campaigns, like "Knuke the Knack'' and "disco sucks." Besides. The Knack and their label love the attention. They've even taken to wearing the proliferating anti-Knack T-shirts. So if you really want to help promote The Knack buy one of those T-shirts.

They also declared Spectrum Stuff Writer An outbreak of armed violence threatens the Mohawk Indian reservation near Messena, New York, according to two spokesmen from the Mohawk nation who spoke in Squire Hall on Saturday. “We’re seconds away from another Wounded Knee,’’ replied one of the pair of longhaired, copper-skinned Indians to a query about the seriousness of the situation at the upstate reservation. The Mohawk representatives, Rpger La France and Frances Boots claimed that the several hundred Indians encamped on the reservation are armed. In justifying the guns’ presence they cited the possibility of another tragedy, like the Attica prison riot of eight years ago where forty-three men died as State police forces converged-on ' the prison. —. assault, burglary, resisting inciting to riot and conspiracy for which they face as many as thirty years in prison.

Boots informed jI attentive crowd of fifty persons ; (including many native SS Americans) that a delegation was sent to Washington. D.C. and has met with officials of the Justice and Interior departments. “As yet, this hasn’t helped much,” he said. “But when the political in-, fighting is over and someone decides to take responsibility, something done.” The issues involved affect not only the Six Nations, an age-old alliance to which the Mohawks belong, but all American Indians, Mr. La France claimed. * j *° _ Trespassing According to Boots, the incident 'that sparked the controversy happened in May, when a Mohawk chief was arrested after refusing to return chainsaws confiscated from members of the Young Adult Conservation Corps. The chief claimed that the members of the group cutting down trees on the reservation were guilty of trespassing. Boots stated that the Mohawk people asked the tribal police to resign because of their cooperation with state and local police in the arrest of Chief Thompson. “The Mohawk police' denied that request,” said Boots, declaring tfyat this chain of events was repeated twice more. “With the last police refusal to the people’s demands, the police were disarmed by a short-lived police of takeover headquarters,” he added. Boots asserted that many indictments have come down and that the State intends to enter Indian territory to serve them. Since the Indians still uphold their “no trespassing” policy, the speakers predict that another volatile situation is imminent. The Indians are negotiating for famous defense lawyer William Kuntsler to handle their case. Mr. La France sees this episode in the history of the Six Nations “as a test by the Creator.” He asked those present, “Are you still going to be Indians?” UNIVERSITY PHOTO FAM. • “What an act! ... and he gets to do it twice a night*’ HOURS 1 lies..

E t Placement tests. —continued from • p*9« 3r- • / The former protest is unjustified, according to Ludwig. The grading, they say, is objective at the 101 and 102 levels. “There is not much of a curve k to begin with,” Dudley explained. Ludwig a elucidated that, at least in French classes, the curve is set from the median, not from the top, cutting the curve exactly in two. There are po | curve setters, per se, as the number of A’s does | not have to equal the number of F’s. That, feels X Ludwig, is an “outmoded concept.” S There are cerain psychological disadvantages to i beginning students thrown in with those who ? have had previous practice, Department officials indicate. It is a threatening experience, according to Ludwig. The student is anxious, a feeling that is intensified by seeing another student communicate at-a higher level. “I thought 1 was getting the hang of it,” one student remarked, “until some smart ass in the back spoke up 1 was really scared, it took me a while to get out of my shell after that.” about three or four, out of twenty, may be below the notch they should be at. By the end of the first month, the “question becomes pretty moot.” These students are either bored or scared, he said, and either drop out of the class; all are assimilated, meaning the class has caught up. ‘ Teachers could conceivably penalize students through the assigning of a loWer grade. Another alternative is to bluntly tell students a higher performance is expected of them, because of their past work. Teacher Assistants are told to keep an eye out for people faking stupidity; teachers strongly encourage such students to'move up a level. Without tests, placement is decided by DUE advisement and personnel conferences with instructors. There are no plans to go back to the old system of Placement Tests for Foreign Language, even with the General Education Plan on the horizon for Fall 1980. This plan will lead many students to take either language or a culture course. In actuality, much is left to the students’ discretion. DUE is high on the new system and all it means for their department. Not everyone is so thrilled, “DUE may think they know a lot about language placements,” one instructor commented, “but I doubt that they possess the required knowledge.” & " « ... « ‘Moot’ What can be done to prevent situations such as -these? Not much. Students can, at present, enroll in any language course they choose. Department officials are convinced, however, that this problem is not significant. Ludwig suggests that Benefit dance The September 29th Coalition will hold a West Valley Rally Benefit Dance on Sept. 21, Friday, at 8 p.m. in the Buffalo State College Student Union.

Wilkeson Pub in Amhert’s Ellicbtt Complex. “We’ve been busy every night,” remarked Irwin Wolchok, first year manager of the Pub. Wolchok attributes the Pub’s success to the recent construction of a new sound system and a thorough remodeling job. A staff of fifty people, plus waitresses—another new feature—have' helped to speed up service and diminish crowds at the bar. it at the Wilkeson E Pbb relies heavily on the new sound booth and sound system which blares a mixture of disco and rock. As the Pub gets crowded, the D.J.’s primarily play disco, Wolchok said. “Everyone wants to dance,” he explained. For the rock crowd, Wednesday night is designated rock night and Monday is oldies night. In past years the Pub has found, according to Wolchok, that live bands were not very successful. “I’m not going to lose money on live bands this year,” he said, claiming that students usually don’t want to pay $1 admission price.

New Nat Hentoff reports on what may be the most serious violation of human rights in U.S. prisons—the forced over-drugging of inmates. Hentoff writes a monthly column on legal and educational trends for PNS. He is the author of numerous books and articles on education and civil liberties issues, and a staff columnist for the Village Voice. by Nat Hentoff Special to The Spectrum There is currently no more unfashionable preoccupation than the rights of prisoners. Insofar as the citizenry thinks of prisons at all, they want more of them—the more punitive the better. The notion that one of the purposes of these fastnesses is rehabilitation is no longer held even by most liberals. E. Donald Shapiro, dean of the New York Law School, recently spoke for a clear consensus of the populace when he proposed, for the 1980s, not only an increase in prisons but a desire that they should not be “any better than the Commentary slum housing in which society places the poor, the unfortunate elderly or dependent children.” In this ambience, it is rather difficult to focus public attention on what it is actually like to be in most prisons. Yet two recent cases of not all that extraordinary abuse of prisoners’ most fundamental rights may help concentrate the mind on the most invisible of this nation’s discards. Seven women in New York State were awarded $45,000 in damages on July 12, 1979, in a settlement that the ACLU’s National Prison Project has described as “the first of its kind in the country.” Three, years before, the women had been involuntarily transferred—without a judicial commitment hearing—from the Bedford Hills prison to Matteawan, an institution for the criminally insane. The reason was that they were “difficult” to control, incessantly — reform seems unlikely The women then sypd'ior damages for asserting that they knew their rights and otherwise acting in an undbcile manher. their time of unabatednorror at Matteawan. At Matteawan, the women were forcibly and the state of New York, rather than go to dosed with such powerful neuroleptic drugs trial, agreed to a settlement.

Tucker will be a ward of the State again. In this case too, no one has admitted any responsibility for what happened to Henry Tucker. Nor is what happened to him unique. As his lawyer, Stephen Ney, says, “Who knows how many thousands of human vegetables are sitting, right now, in institutions around the country? Until there’s a lawsuit, only the prisoners are looking. What happened to Henry Tucker could have happened anywhere in this country’s prisons." Looking hard at America’s prisons during the month of August was an unprecedented team of seven investigators—all of them international jurists. They were asked to conduct an independent probe of possible human rights abuses in American penal institutions by three organizations that had filed a petition with the United Nations in December, 1978, asking it to investigate violations of the human rights of American prison inmates. the Divided into four international investigators conducted cop jous interviews in prisons throughout the while also examining trial count transcriptS( afridavits> and court documents, condudcd that a “clear prima facie case" exists of human rights violations in American prisons Eluding forced drugging and manifold abuses of -behavior modification programs. The team has recommendcd a Unit cd Nations that its report. invcstigation> md it is now appended to the origina petitfon. may reach the General Assembly floor. “There is no question, says Richard HarveV- ne of the jurists that United States policy on human rights has had a "hoary effect around the world. All the more reason, then, for its own abuses to be examined,. Furthermore, if we can expose America’s violations at this high a level at the U.S.-thc first time any nation’s human rights policies will have been this thoroughly dissected—there can be a breakthrough toward really focusing on what other nations are doing in their prisons, After all, Jimmy Carter has emphasized that he wants the United States to lead the way in matters of human rights. „„ , .. , ... . ° A Home Away From Home — IF YOU WANT TO RELAX AND HAVE A GOOD TIME ANACONE'S INN SPECIAL INTEREST PUBLICATIONS IS THE PLACE TO DO IT We have no Hootin, Hollering, Yelling, Screaming or Loud Music.

PHARMACY, NURSING, ' Late surge falls short; soccer Bulls lose again Eleven individuals ran' around haphazardly, wearing UB soccer jerseys during the opening half of Wednesday’s meeting with Geneseo State College. Having caught wind of the situation, the Buffalo team played well the second half of the match, which Geneseo won, 2-1 at Rotary Field. “If they played the first half like the second, it would have been a different story,’’ coach Esposito said after the final horn ended the game. The Bulls displayed outstanding individual effort during the first half of the game, and their tough defense only yielded two hardfought goals. The majority of the action in the half was at the UB end of the field, while Geneseo kept sending the ball deep into Bulls territory, but goalie Mark Celeste and the backfield, anchored by Ed Sorkin, cut down the penetration despite the two scores. As play commenced in the second half, Geneseo faced an entirely different opponent dressed in the Buffalo uniform. The Bulls passed crisply, attacked at every opportunity and presented the Geneseo goalie with a deluge of shots. But persistent bad luck combined with a defense TAKE YOUR PICK: Monday.

Midway through the second half, Steve Cate headed a looping pass by Luis Azcue into the net for the lone UB score. Later, action continued around the Geneseo goal for the remainder of the game, with the Bulls continuing to display the intensity they sorely lacked during the first half. “The halfbacks did a good job this game, getting the ball up to the forwards,” said Buffalo forward Keith Schwabinger, following the game. UB continued an absence of communication between players, a problem they have been plagued with for two games. In essense, theBulls played in a library-like atmosphere ior the majority of the game. The course of the game was, like the first game, marred by many called fouls, the majority of them for pushing off an opponent. The game was stopped twice when two Geneseo players had to be assisted off the field with minor foot injuries.

The argument obviously didn't, bother Miller, who went on to complete a sweep, taking the second set, 6-4. The only time during the match that Miller trailed his opponent came in the second set. Behind 3-4, Buffalo’$ star netter recaptured his consistent game to close the set. The stong winds affected the players' styles but the Bulls had the distinct advantage, having played in gusty Buffalo before. To overcome the adverse weather, both sides concentrated on hitting the ball low and hard, as any ball lofted in the wind would unpredictably sway in flight and travel off court. Balls hit with topspin would hit the court and loop over the players’ heads, often forcing them to hit awkward shots while slamming against the back fences.

Yet Kaiser’s anger at his unforced errors became evident, as he repeatedly cursed himself and the weather conditions throughout the match.

Jon Schneps, UB’s third singles pldyer, described his an being match as “overpowering victory,” as he won, 6-0, 6-3. Coach Tom LaPenna was confident that Schneps will be the future successor to Todd Miller’s spot, pointing to the young player’s rapidly improving abilities. The fourth, fifth and sixth singles players also won in straight sets, totally dominating their adversaries. After a slow start the team has come on to win three straight matches, and their record now stands at 3-2. The lack of practice was probably the reason for the early two-game slump. The Bulls’ first match—a loss to Oneonta State—came after only three days of practice. Miller’s blister on his racket hand also was a factor.

An excellent performance in a scrimmage contest made him the backup to regular Tim Brunnell, and when Brunnell failed to move the team in Brockport’s first game—against Rochester—it was the freshman who was called in to active duty. With a creditable display in the opener, he earned the starting birth for the following week.

However, of leadership does come through in his call for an attitude acceptant of state university closings so that the strong are not drained by the weak. It is the only point of substantive commitment and shows insight into future considerations. Indeed, SUNY will eventually have to consider this as an acceptable route. In his address. Ketter makes it clear that enrollments and the economy affect the state of this -University. What isn’t always clear is that the University is basically guided by them. He states that “maturation” can be difficult and even painful. “We are either strengthened by the process, by becoming able to deal cffectivcly and creatively with reality, or we become weakened by it and retreat from responsibility.” Perhaps our “mission” keeps uS from retreating and survival forces us to deal “effectively”—or as suitably as weean. But regardless, major parts within “us,” such as Arts and Letters, Social Sciences and the Humanities in general, have become weakened by the “trends.” Had we “creatively” dealt with rcality, perhaps the University would not have to be presented in a proposed project and its budget. In addition, the foundation’s guidelines demand concrete references. Chicken Wings Over 30 varieties of Subs! Hot or cold.

Singer/songwriter John Hall planted thejnitial seeds when, frustrated by the lack ot media coverage for smaller anti-nuke events, he proposed the large scale New York shows. “I think you can do small benefits until your head falls off. and you’re not going to get much attention from a lot of politicians, the press, or from the straight media in general,” Hall complained in a recent article in Rolling Stone.

I would strongly urge that all faculty cooperate.” Students' evaluative surveys to be partially funded by by Robert G. Basil Contributing Editor SCATE is back after a three year snooze. The Student Course and Teacher Evaluations book will be compiled and published in time for Spring Registration, with the UB Administration footing an as yet unspecified part of the S10.000 bill, according to Student Assbciation (SA) Director of Academic Affairs Judiann Carmack. In favor of partially funding the SCATE book on a one-time basis is Vice President for Academic affairs Ronald F. Bunn, who voiced his conditional support at a meeting student and yesterday between >n leaders. SCATE is a published handbook detailing students’ views towards courses they have taken and the instructors who have taught a them. SCATE is designed to “help students in their selection of courses and instructors and to help teachers improve their instruction pointing out [their] weaknesses,” according to Carmack. . . . Imprecise tabulation Before the decides how much it will support the SCATE book, said Carmack, it wants to get some idea of what percentage of the faculty will participate in it. Another meeting between Carmack and the Administration Friday will nail down the exact amount of monetary support from the University. SCATE has not beat published since 1976 due to SA’s inability to foot the bill. The University Administration had declined to help out because it believed the survey to be sloppily tabulated, and open to fallacious interpretation. In previous years the classroom questionnaires were lengthy and often confusing. A great deal of students lost interest in SCATE, and failed to submit surveys for tabulation. SCATE also suffered Judiann Carmack from imprecise gathering apd computation SA Director of Academic Affairs methods; t]ie results dbtained from individual classes often did not match up into'three parts.

Other top Administration officials, however, have vehemently endorsed Not for tenure “SCATE is not meant to be used,” the new survey in memos they released late Carmack said, “for [professional] tenure or this summer.

Applause, applause Associate Vice President for Academic Affairs Claude Welch concurred with Peradotto’s views, noting that “in these days of shifting enrollments and concern over retention, careful attention. to effective teaching becomes all the more important. I applaud the Student Association.” Although Carmack ultimately envisions a SCATE publication in which the results of all the course evaluations will be printed, a professor’s cooperation is voluntary under the present plan. Instructors can prevent the publication of the survey. Professors, who will be given the results of the SCATE survey before its publication under the new plan, would have access to computer programs for analysis of the questionnaire data. For example, if a high percentage of students rated an upper level course as being "too rigorous.” a professor could check the statistics to see whether the class was composed of an inordinate amount of students lacking necessary prerequesites. Once SCATE gets underway, it may run into problems immediately, according to student observers. Since the survey is scheduled to be distributed between October 8—12 (so it can be published in time for Spring pre-registration)—questions on the form relating to grading and course organization will have to be omitted. Because of the early distribution date, many professors might disallow publication of surveys regarding their courses, fearing that they might not validly assess the class material and its presentation after just a month of classes. Ketter speech touches problems but hits optimistic note by Elena Cacava* News Editor Maturation can at times be difficult and even painful. We are either strengthened in the process, by becoming able to deal effectively and creatively with reality, or we become weakened by it and retreat from At this University there responsibility has been no retreat. President’s 1979 State of the University address .. . ... His hair characteristically ruffled and his plaid jacket providing a jolt of familiarity to “UB” people (and casualty to outsiders). University President Robert L. Ketter Sunday spoke on the state of this institution, emphasizing its public service mission, research and teaching. Ketter’s State of the University address is his second annual comment on UB’s recent past and near future, its problems and progress. But the real emphasis Sunday was on numbers—enrollments and dollars, and activity channelled toward those ends. “AH institutions,” he said, “have been affected by inflation and by the spectre of declining enrollments, or in some instances, an actual decline or failure to meet budgeted targets.” However, he stressed that UB is not unique among educational institutions in this financial predicament. Realization of these “trends,” according to Ketter, has spawned new attitudes here in teaching, research and service missions. Citing a “new and more mature” outlook, Ketter spoke of an increase! willingness on the part of a larger number of faculty to accept responsibility for seeking, outside funds for research. Awards from external agencies, he said, have increased 12 percent to a total of 477 orover $26.5 million. New post It was added, however, that “we have considerable strides to make for a University of our size and stature. There is still a great need for activity among a more varied faculty base.” Ketter explained that a recent University decision to find a head for the Research Office should, among other things, underlie {he importance of this activity. That route was opted for above another to merge the Research Office with that of the Graduate Dean. The search to fill the research post is now being organized. But Ketter pointed out that “the progress the institution will make in fulfilling its Test results deemed ‘invalid, Buffalo area nurses shocked by Jon-Michaei Glionna Feature Editor ■ - Shocked and embittered Buffalo area nursing candidates arc considering an Albany protest over the possibility of a re-test of the national nursing certification exam.

Special to The Spectrum Cesar Chavez’s United Farm Workers, the fragile union of the lowest paid workers in the nation, seemed—once again—to be down for the count. The union’s eight-month strike to jack up wages for field hands seemed Sure to be engulfed by the surge of immigrants from Mexico who compose a limitless pool of strikebreakers. So it came as no small surprise that key California growers, including the largest lettuce grower in the nation, have signed new three-year contracts with the union, very nearly meeting the union demands. The significance of this latest breakthrough lies not so much in Chavez’s extraordinary ability to rise from a perilous low point, as in the fact that the new contracts show the UFW making the transition successfully from what was essentially a labor movement to a fullfledged, mature labor union. The new contracts bring field workers $5 an hour (over the $3.70 they were making last year) escalating over the next three years-to $5.71 for the least skilled workers, and including cost-of-living boosts. This is very close to the goal Chavez announced last January when he had asked $5.25 for this year. It may not be the “mainstream wages of working Americans’’ towards which Chavez has beep pushing the farmhands, bin the gap is harrowing. The UFW is far from getting all growers to accept such terms yet. The strike continues to skip and hop around the Western fields. But the sign-up of notable tomato and broccoli growers, and especially of Sun Harvest, Inc., is counted as a major victory. Five vineyards have also signed new three-year contracts. This year, the'objective was quite different. An Buffalo General Hospital, is wary of losing her Job. “My permit is only good until June, 1980, while the results of the next scheduled test won't be available until mid-July. I won’t be eligible to work in any hospital during that month-long overlap,” she said. Not all candidates were granted permits. Those nursing school graduates without temporary licenses will have to wait until next summer to start work. Over 100,000 nurses in all 50 states took the exam but, so far, only New York State has invalidated its test results. “Each state has the ability to set its own criteria for prospective nurses,” said Board of Education spokesperson Peggy Collins. “Yet no out-of-state purse will be able to practice in New York until they satisfy our criteria,” she added. New York currently requires a score of 350 on the 800 point test for nursing certification. What became apparent, however, was the strength of organized labor’s support for the UFW. The size of the UFW march to Salinas last month, which brought, by police estimate, from 15,000 to 20,00(Jsupporters to the final demonstration, astonished growers. They had thought loyalty to Chavez was diminishing. It also hinted at the possibility of a much longer holdout, when John Henning, California AFL-CIO chief, said at the Salinas rally: “Where Cesar Chavez stands, we stand; where Cesar Chavez goes, we go.” “Labor is our strongest ally,” said Marc Grossman, UFW spokesman. “We stand where most unions in America stood 50 years ago. Just like the Irish and Italian and German immigrants who began the labor movement here, our members are poor, they are often illiterateand they are non-English speaking. That gives us problems most unions have outgrown. But their members understand what we are up against. We don’t Few actually cheated have to explain the fight for a living wage to labor.

The Board of Education says that effprts will be made, to cover the re-admission costs. Zealous appeal slated In light of the recent developments concerning the nursing boards, many candidates have taken the opportunity to express dissatisfaction with the entire concept behind the tests. “It’s not a fair test of the practical abilities that a' nurse has to demonstrate once she’s in the hospital,” claimed nurse Anne Tucker. In an interview with The Spectrum, Executive Secretary of the New York Chapter of the State Boards for Nursing Mildred Schmidt claimed that all candidates have the right to respond to the Board’s decision in any manner they wish. “But if they want a nursing license, they’ll have to take the next'exam in February,” she quipped. Nonetheless, many nurses are planning a zealous appeal. Other than the planned Albany protest, Brocklehurst is wilting letters to newspapers across the state. “Something has got to be done. I went through hell studying for those July exams. Now my whole summer appears to be just a waste of time. Now I’ll have to take the exam again,” she lamented. ■ SECURITY guards unarmed guards, male/female for the Buffalo/Falls area, part-time weekend, full-time evening work, phone needed Pinkerton's 403 Mein St. 862-1 760 Equal opportunity employer It II I tf.l William Kunstlter Activist Lawyer Wednesday Sept.19,1979 8 pm Fillmore Rm. admission free �Ghost of last year’s overspending returns to haunt Music Committee After being silenced by financial woes last January, the University Union Activities Board (UUAB) Music Committee is back with a new orchestrator, a toned down budget and a more conservative approach to on-campus music The new chairman is Steve Krown, a second year grad student whose experience in music programming at SUNY Cortland puts him far ahead of predecessor Stu Fish, an amiable leader who encountered a lot of problems in his short reign. Fish began the 1978-79 year with a set schedule and a $41,410 subsidy from UUAB. Eleven concerts, 12 weeks and a lavish $57,900 in net expenditures later, the committee was shut down for the year. Fish’s inability to estimate attendance caused much of the monetary crisis, since low attendance means low revenue, but once the overspending was discovered, little could be done, for UUAB was already committed to present several more acts. ' Closer watch Perhaps wary of last year’s foulup, UUAB has both reduced the amount of money available to the Music Committee and the way it can be spent. This year, Jhe Committee is not permitted to spend more than 48 percent of its budget in the first semester. Additionally, more stringent supervision is planned to prevent mismanagement. Krown acknowledged, “We’re going to have to keep better track of our money.” The money available will be less, but because ‘lie money is separated into different '‘lines,” it’s difficult to determine how much the Musk Committee budget has been cut. Krown suggested that it’s a “little under” last year. Inflation will give UUAB even less, especially when compounded by a small reduction in subsidy. Krown tagged inflation in the music industry at “twin as much” as the outskff'world. Ultimately what the decrease in subsidy means to students, according to Krown, is higher prices. “People will be very surprised to see that there won’t be much difference between what happens downtown and what happens on campus,” he said. Besides higher prices, there will be fewer concerts, Krown said. Plans right now call for five acts each semester —one at the Fillmore Room, one at the Katharine Cornell Theater, two at Clark Hall and one at Shea’s Buffalo Theater downtown—although nothing has yet been scheduled. UUAB cut too Just why the Music Committee was cut by Sub Board I—the student corporation that collects and disburses mandatory student fees is uncertain. Although UUAB as a whole was cut, some areas within Sub Board, such as the Sexuality Education Center received increases. Sub Board Treasurer Chris Jasen told The Spectrum the Sex Ed center needed a boost to compensate for inflation. Not doing so, he said, would compromise the quality of the Center. “They couldn’t really absorb very much in cuts and still do anything,” Jasen said. Krown is one who thinks the 78-79 fiasco contributed to the — Campus Editor The highly prestigous Center for Integrative Studies (CIS) will soon be located at this University, President Robert L. Ketter announced Sunday. The known internationally center—which will be affiliated with the School of Architecture and Environmental Design (SAED) —deals with various planning studies that include such areas as population, energy, and ecology. Ketter told a Talbert, Hall audience of the new addition in a break from his written “State of the University” address. Dean of SAED Harold Cohen—who has actively sought the center for several years—was overjoyed it chose Panel not UB to locate, after spending the three years at the University of Houston. “The kinds of people that will be coining to this University because of CIS,” Cohen said, “and the ideas that will be generated are limitless.” He characterized the Center’s addition to SAED as its longdesired “windows on the world.” Formed in the late 60’s by John McHale, former editor of The Futurist, CIS is involved in bringing together several areas of study into one central past organization. These areas include world resource planning, world ecology, and population planning; areas that Cohen believes are of major interest to planners and architects. formed Albany drags feet on Ketter evaluation “No, No a thousand times No.” That was virtually the answer Monday from the SUNY Chancellor’s office when asked if a time frame regarding UB President Ketter’s scheduled evaluation has been finalized. A spokesman for Chancellor Clifton R. Wharton, who was in the midst of a meeting with the SUNY Trustees, told The Spectrum that three presidents from outside the SUNY system who will constitute a panel to ‘evaluate Ketter have not been selected. “We are not yet ready to announce,” said SUNY’s Communication officer. Under new guidelines, Ketter will be evaluated by this panel rather than a campus-based committee comprised of representatives of the Student Senate, Faculty Senate, Professional Staff Senate, local Administration. Council, and the University The new guidelines also preclude the use of “nonattributable” information—or input that can’t be pinpointed to any one source—but the UB Faculty Senate has opted to “challenge” this mandate. At its meeting last week, the Senate voted to distribute a survey to all faculty members in an effort to gather faculty input, which will be presented to the evaluation team by Senate Chairman Newton Carver. Currently, the Faculty Senate Executive Committee is reviewing an evaluation survey that a SenateCommittee designed last Spring. In Albany, The Chancellor’s office also noted that no dates have been finalized for the evaluation team’s visit to the UB campus. One SUNY spokesman acknowledged that to date “no time frame” has been established. Both Ketter and Wharton have publicly discussed an October evaluation schedule. Last week Ketter pointed out that completed by Wharton hoped the evaluation would be Thanksgiving. slashing. “I think that the performance of last year’s Music Committee had a direct reflection on UUAB’s budget as a whole,” he said. But Jasen “doesn’t really think” last year was the basis for the cut. Although, he concedes, “I’m sure it was in the back of everyone’s mind.” Success of this year’s program will be dependent on good support from the students. “If we really take a dive on a concert, Jasen stressed, “it could do very serious damage.” Krown added, “We’ll be evaluating each show and going on from there.” ‘window on Center's move north gives by Joe Simon — 1 by Mark Mehzer Campus Editor CIS has been associated with the SUNY system before, when it was located at SUNY Binghamton under the auspices of the School of Advanced Technology in the early 1970’s. CIS then moved to Houston in 1977. This past year John McHale passed Way, and CIS has since been run by his wife, Magda C. McHale. McHale will join the faculty of SAED, teaching graduate seminal's on various disciplines in which CIS is involved. She will be bringing with her a library of 8,000 volumes and 57 filing cabinets full of research materials which will be housed in Hayes Hall on the Main Street Campus. Cohen characterized the Center as “A clearinghouse for information. They have the leading collection of data on world resources, both natural and technological.” He said that once the Center arrives on campus—around the first of the year—people frpm all areas of research will have expanded information to draw from. “Scholars from everywhere in the world come to use their files,” Cohen mentioned, “and that great wealth of knowledge will now be in Buffalo.” the Law School, the School of Management, Civil Engineering and any other area that needs studies done on some form of future planning,” said Cohen. The bulk of funding for CIS is coming from grants by various corporations and organizations, with a major portion from the United Nations. Mrs. McHale has done studies for the United Nations on a wide rande of areas including The International Year ofthe Child and UNICEF. Cohen pointed out that “The University is funding only a small portion of the Center.” UB He estimated that in the past three or four years, the Goiter has had a funding level of dose to three-quarters of a million dollars. With the increse in population shifts, Coher noted, there should be an increase in funding. Cohen maintained his of keeping the enrollment in SAED down, even in the wake of such a position prestigious organization joining its ranks. “We’re not very big, and I want to keep it that way. We should reach a certain limit in a few years and I’d like to maintain that level.’’ Funding The information that CIS contains is not only relevant to Architecture, but to many other areas of the University. “Mrs. McHale will be working with Buy A Big Mac and Get a Free Flair Pen of far !aa | • I UNIVERSITY PLAZA Jjjj - MAIN STREET and /j\flrnnnnlfl*t jj good at ® OUR NEW LOCATION 3232 BAILEY AVENUE (Show your UB ID and get your free monthly student calendar worth $7.50 in free food.) limit one coupon per customer per visit coupon expires Sept. 24,1979 or while they last �Anti-nukes ready for N.

When a Faculty Senate Committee studied the role of the Dean two years ago, it pointed out that the Division of Undergraduate Education (DUE) lacked the money it needed to exert significant influence at this University. Sociology Professor Russell Stone, who served on the Committee, termed it an “anomaly” that the Dean has “responsibility but no that he will receive some money from the President to carry out this task, but cautioned that faculty members must be convinced to cooperate. “When it comes to cooperation from one department to the next it ffltfst be induced, cajoled, and pressured by the “line- officers (Vice Presidents),“ Peradotto said. According to Ketter, “Vice Presidents for-Health Sciences and Academic Affairs are fiscal officers.” He said, however, that Peradotto as a member of the Academic Cabinet, will make recommendations in an advisory capacity. “The Cabinet acts as a budget committee,” he noted. “Everyone argues in front of that group.” Associate Dean of Undergraduate Education Walter Kunz was uncertain that money poses the biggest problem. “A better question,” he said, “is what is it people want done?” Kunz said that the Senate Committee claimed that there were big problems in undergraduate education, but never sat down and mapped out exactly how they should be solved. “It is blown way out of proportion.” he said. The job of the Dean—evaluating curriculums undergraduate and encouraging teaching effectiveness —will not be changed by Ketter’s decision, according to Kunz. “In final analysis,” he said, this University does three things: teaching, research and community service. The University will accomplish these things in the classroom, the labs and studies of professors, despite itself.” ... money.” At the time of the study, the Dean directly to the University President. This structure was later altered and the DUE Dean became responsible to the Vice President for Academic Affairs. Now, University President Robert L. Ketter has reverted to the previous arrangement, rejecting a plan by Vice President for Health Sciences F. Carter Pannill and Vice President for Academic Affairs Ronald F. Bunn, calling for a Council on Undergraduate Education. The Council would have been headed by Pannill and Bunn. reported Money talks “The real power is where the money is, let’s face it,” said Geography professor Charles Ebert, who’ was DUE Dean from 1971 to 1977. “Unless he gets more Gaography professor Chartos Ebrt DUE Dean John Pwadotto DUE Dean needs budget clout How much power behind the tide? budget clout, it is tokenism,” he said. The Dean could not make budget decisions and had few lines (faculty and staff positions) at that time, Ebert explained, so he recommended that the Dean’s office. be placed under the Vice President for Academic Affairs. Ebert said that this recommendation was not to slash the Dean’s authority in the Health Sciences, but to provide him greater access to funds. Although he noted that the Vice President for Health Sciences “needs a considerable amount of freedom” in those specialized programs, he maintained that the DUE Dean must have the authority over all undergraduate academic programs—such as the General Education program. Cooperation necessary Ketter has given Peradotto the nod to implement the Gen Ed plan, but nearly everyone agrees that implementation will require resources. Peradotto is confident SWJ hearing Court rules Lev guilty of contempt The Student Wide Judiciary (SWJ) convicted Michael Stephen Levinson (Lev) of contempt of court charges Monday, noting that he had been witnessed in Squire Hall in violation of a previous court' ruling. In a separate case last May, -Lev tvas barred from Squire HSJ1 effective this semester. Lev, who has been called by many a campus prophet and is currently Acting Manager Editor of Thundercurrent—a news/feature campus magazine—said he would appeal the decision to the President’s Hearing Commission on Campus Disorder. The court postponed sentencing Lev, although student prosecutor bcborah Sorbini recommended the original sentence imposed on Lev —non-access to Squire Hall—be enforced. Last May, Lev was convicted of stealing close to 3,000 copies of The Spectrum and disposing them in a dumpster behind the paper’s Squire Hall home. At that time, the court found the issue to be, “not if Mr. Levinson did or did not remove The Spectrums as charged, but if this removal was indeed a violation. After careful deliberation, the court unanimously agreed to Mr. Levinson’s guilt on the above charges.” „ Sanction violated Lev, however, claims he did not steal The Spectrum. He noted, “I -didn’t take any of the papers. I convinced about ten or fifteen people to (take them) but 1 never -look any myself.” But in court Monday, the student justices ruled that Lev’s denial was not at issue. What they believed was Defending himself. Lev explained to the three-member panel that he had conducted conversations with members of the Department of Public Safety, and was under the impression that they would have served him notice forbidding him from use of the building. Erroneously charged He also claimed that one of the witnesses in his previous trial had committed perjury. Said Levinson, “1 understand' the Hearing Commission is the court of last resort. I held off on an appeal because I don’t believe it (the trial) was legal—and furthermore, I was erroneously charged.” Prosecutor Sorbini pointed out that the cout had imposed a. sanction in May which it felt was appropriate; the sanction had been violeted; Lev should be found guilty of contempt. Sorbini also noted that, as of Monday morning. Lev was not registered as a student—and therefore, there was no use in asking the court to impose a suspension or expulsion from the University. She asked the' court to prohibit him from entering Squire Hall, that recommending University President Robert Ketter’s office be asked to instruct University police to physically remove Lev from the building. Ketter is the only person who has that authority. The court postponed sentencing, noting that it bad seven days to reach a decision. t —Daniel S. Parker Mich—I Stephan Levinson Barred from Squire the crux of Monday’s case, was whether Lev had violated the sanction imposed last May. Lev admitted to being in Squire Hall on the dates that the building’s Acting Director Robert W. Henderson witnessed his presence. Henderson testified that he saw Lev on the premises on September 4, S, 6, 7, 10 and 11. The SWJ contempt proceedings ironically were held on Squire Hall’s second floor. Initially, Lev moved for a postponement because he said that his lawyer could not be present. The court rejected this motion on the grounds that the accused had “ample time to determine this or notify the court.” — A. Ill IH 836-3737 1SZ7 HEHTEL AVENUE BUFF.

If students and faculty responsibly respond to SCATE. the entire University will benefit. Students will be able to more learnedly form their academic schedules; instructors will be able to hone their skills as teachers, as well as more fruitfully construct their courses. Since we believe that a complete and well designed SCATE book is necessary to improve teaching effectiveness and course-curricula which are responsibilities of the University—we also believe that the UB Administration should fund It. We would find It hypocritical If the Office of the Vice President for Academic Affairs, which supposedly endorses good teaching, forced SCATE to be supported out of revenue collected from Student Activity Fees. Likewise, participation In SCATE should be mandatory—not voluntary—for faculty. However, passing out the questionnaires after but a month of classes Is horribly poor timing. Many professors might Justifiably refuse to participate In the survey, feeling that their courses will not be fairly evaluated. Especially since the University Administration appears not to be utterly committed to SCATE—tentatively only In favor of funding the book on a one-time basis —SA should delay distribution of the surveys, so that a mandatory survey can be evaluated and an effective SCATE Implemented.

Just tokenism more large scale beer blasts in the .cafeteria area; because of the large amount of vandalism. Since that declaration was made, IRC has been trying to find some way, of utilizing part of the cafeteria for the students. IRC has found as the staff of the Clifford Furnas College realized through minimal research that the scattered pool tables around the complex are definitely seldom used. IRC is planning on helping the Housing Department and Facilities Planning reorganize all the plaza level lounge space. This will be done by moving all the recreation equipment down to the Fargo cafeteria where IRC is paying for all the reconditioning of the equipment. Brand new pool balls and sticks will be bought. In addition to foosball tables, new ping-pong equipment, plus chess, checkers and backgammon sets. IRC plans to charge only to keep the gameroom equipment up to par and someone to operate it. These prices will range from pool at 50 cents an hour, ping-pong at 25 cents an hour, foosball at 75 cents an hour, and the rest of the games only require an ID. Jurisdiction of the Fargo cafeteria was granted to the Housing department, which In turn gave IRC the rights to set up the gameroom in one half of the cafeteria. The other half is still open to the colleges for use when the game room doesn’t have scheduled hours. IRC also feels that by remodeling and getting good equipment installed, the dorm students (especially the Fargo residents) wilt now have a place to meet and socialize, and most importantly, an area that they can be proud to be a resident of.

The Faculty-Senate should be given full support on their decision, by everyone at this school who wishes to see the fairest procedures used for evaluation. In addition, to' the Faculty-Senate opinion poll, it Is imperative that the entire student body get together and hold a University wide referendum showing a confidence vote for or against Bob Ketter. Last year, before the Board of Trustees changed their rules, Stony Brook was in a similar situation. Their student body came out in strong opposition to the Presidential choice, and therefore he was not appointed. It has been many years since the integral parts of this University have spoken out together, in one voice. Assessment of Robert Ketter must be handled In this way to Insure fairness to the whole University. Last week, the Faculty-Senate decided to hold an opinion poll regarding President Ketter’s choice to stay on as this University’s President. Their decision will undoubtedly cause much commotion In Albany because the Board of Trustees recently changed the rules regarding the evaluation process of SUNY Presidents which now mandates that opinion polls are specifically prohibited. The Trustees’ new rules also eliminate the committee composed of reps from the Professional Staff Senate, University Council, Administration, and the Student Senate. In Its place, evaluation will be carried on by three university presidents,, from schools outside the SUNY system. Chancellor Wharton, with Robert Ketter’s Input, will choose the three evaluators. It Is quite obvious that the Board of Trustees does not want much, or any Input from University Barry E.

IBHfl m - To Irwin Johnson: The following matter of utmost importance *£■•*■ f requires your immediate attention. Over the summer, the College of Urban Studies acquired two residential coordinators, Hillary Schreter and Barbara Terkowltz. It Is our contention that both were illegally hired; in violation of New York State law arid the College’s own charter. New York State law provides that open applications and interviews must be held for any State-funded positions.- Furthermore, the College’s own charter states that the Board of Governors must approve all candidates for positions in the College. This did not take place. In addition to the preceding legal requirements, it is the general opinion of the residents of the College of Urban Studies that the two who were "hired" are completely unqualified for the positions they hold. They possess no semblance of how to proceed with the organization of the College and refuse to listen to or trust those who are knowledgable. Neither has any experience with dormitory students at UB and their social lives. The coordinators have shown no effectiveness at communicating with the residents. We, the active members of the College of Urban Studies, do hereby requst the dismissal of Hillary Schreter and Barbara Terkowltz from the residential positions they hold. , Eric Gould Former Social Director, Member, Board of Governors Gordon Fine .

The most significant development was the continuing influx of Mexican immigrants which divided Chicanos into the “haves” and the “have nots” in relation to work, and confused those sympathizing with the immigrants. In another incident which some read as “weakness,” growers recently gained their first legislative victory over farm workers when a bill to restrict union disciplinary hold over its members was approved by both houses, despite Democratic majorities, and sent to Governor Brown. He vetoed it and the bar majority consent was not enough for an over-ride. Nevertheless it was the first anti-UFW measure to pass both California legislative houses since the creation of the Agriculture Labor Relations Board four years ago. “The growers won’t stop trying to cut us back,” said Cohen. “They’ll keep chipping away just as management keeps chipping away at the National Labor Relations Act. We achieved a little balance of power and it will be a constant struggle to maintain it.” Opprewed workers i Other problems besetting the union arise out of its unique mix of messianic crusade for the poor, which the charismatic Chavez symbolizes, and the tough, hard-driving effort to fashion a traditional trade union. This mix has imposed peculiar administrative difficulties. Initially Chavez attracted clusters of volunteer workers, personally devoted to him and dedicated to serving oppressed seasonal farm workers. This support group has been dwindling of late, in part reportedly turned put by Chavez himself as he tightened command, and in part quitting in dismay over what seemed inconsistency in helping Mexican immigrants inside the union while Chavez attacked Mexican immigrants outside the union for taking hjs A division of FSA^ workers’ jobs, One of the singular evidences of this chan gr was the labor day issue of the National Catholic Reporter, a traditional UFW supporter. It made a strong case that liberals and religious leaders were losing faith in Chavez. “Has the aura of sainthood worn thin?” it asked. But, remarked Cohen, such changes are “just part of the growing process.” And the direction of that growth is clearly towards labor stability. A somewhat different difficulty arose over Chavez' resistance to the build-up of a normal union office staff. While the throngs of volunteers declined, the UFW leader insisted his immediate aides continue to serve on the ascetic volunteer level of past years, with S10 a week pay plus expenses. Press-spokesman Marc Grossman, who has been a trusted Chavez associate for 10 years, pointed out he gets by on this income with a wife and children “because some of us don’t put that much value on material things.” A fine legal staff put together by UFW counsel Cohen presented another problem. Cohen felt he could not ask top-flight young attorneys to accept such low pay. Ultimately he and Chavez agreed that the legal work would be done and paid for equitably on a consultant basis. i*' “This a philosophical issue,” Cohen %ud. “Cesar just feels the union can’t afford staffing at normal pay rates.” Disaffection among liberals and church leaders was flatly denied by Grossman, who has been accompanying Chavez through Canada and to Eastern states, urging support for a new nationwide boycott against non-union lettuce. “The response has been tremendous,” Grossman said.

In June, however, the Love Canal Homeowners Association and its President Lois GMw filed in State Supreme Court Justice Norman Sutler's court, an injunction to halt all construction until everyone could be relocated. A compromise in that court battle decided that if, within the 48 hours of temporary relocation, a resident could obtain a doctor’s certificate relating a cause effect relationship between the chemicals and a health problem, he could remain “relocated” for one week at the State's expense.

However, all around the disposal site, houses were springing up. Hooker filled the Canal and covered it with a clay cap designed, “using the best technology known at that time,” to seal In the toxic debris. In the ensuing years, drums of chemicals began popping out of the ground. Acrid odors, discolored sidewalks, and grass that wouldn’t grow alerted residents that something was seriously wrong. Toxic chemicals Were leaking out of the supposedly protected disposal site into the underground water system, contaminating the neighborhood. Early in the Spring of 1978, after increasing complaints of area residents, federal and state officials were brought in to ascertain the full extent of die contamination of the health risks to area residents. Air samples were taken by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the New York State Department of Health’s Division of Laboratories and Research in and outside the homes contiguous to the Canal.

SCARRED NEIGHBORHOOD: This aerial view of the Low Canal provides a good look at tha chemical saturated land below, in Spring 1978, residents began to notice a peculiar Mack sludge in their basements and white liquid creeping out of their lawns and the nightmare began. i — homeowners firm 1vow never to return’ and moral support from various charitable and health organizations, whom the residents have been relying on until further decisions 6n relocation are made by the State. According to Love Canal Homeowners Association President Lois Gibbs, the nation’s largest charitable agency, the United Way, has given them $200,000 for medical examinations. Mrs. Gibbs just returned from Washington, D.C. to seek Federal aid from several health and environmental agencies who were “shocked” that New York State never approached them. by Marc Sherman Environmental Editor The families in the “outer ring” Love Canal area that are being temporarily relocated during current excavation of the site have expressed a firm desire not to return. “I won’t take my kids back there,” Love Canal resident Mary Furan told The Spectrum. Mrs. Furan is one of many families staying at the Rodeway Inn in Niagara Falls, about one mile from Love Canal. The State is paying for their hotel rooms and meals past the original September 18 deadline due to the families’ abilities to obtain weekly doctor's certificates that indicate a potential causal relationship between their health and the construction at Love Canal. Currently, the State task force is digging trenches for pipes that would / i 1*9- > Another problem In addition to the old canal site, the focus of the current excavation, Mrs. Kenny pointed out another problem. Many bonus border Black Creek, which she said xe«i« of .drain most of the chfcmicals from tlie site. The residents say that fumes from these chemicals are posing a health hazard. The Love Canal homeowners have three main requests: less lateral trenches dug; construction halted at 4 p.m. when children return from school; and nt> more steam cleaning of equipment on-site because of air contamination. The homeowners’ ultimate goal is to havC the State or Federal government finance their .permanent hazard. Mrs. Kenny ,is a research assistant at Roswell Park Research relocation. Many of the residents feel some temporary relief at the hotels, though their lives are still marked by fear and uncertainty. By keeping a daily log of symptoms and illnesses, they hope to convince the State that the entire Love Canal area—not just the “inner ring” of homes fenced off last year—is a hazard. The residents believe the fence was arbitrarily positioned and does not serve as a safety boundary. Kids better Mrs. Furan explained that the health of many of the families’ children has greatly improved since leaving the area. “In the 10 days we’ve been at the hotel, my kids have been fine. Their eye draining, puffiness, coughing, and nosebleeds have completely stopped,” she said. The residents have been personally advised by local doctors to leave the area. The State has advised them not to grow vegetables in their gardens or have the children play in their backyards, but has not given them an official recommendation to leave. The residents believe that the State is taking a cautious approach because it would make itself liable for the cost of permanently relocating thenfethe State, so far, has maintained tifatthe temporary relocation is necessary only to accommodate heavy construction scheduled to end in October “The State feels it would be setting a precedent if it relocated more people.” observed Canal resident Luella Kenny. Mrs. Furan expressed deep appreciation for financial assistance . DOCTOR'S APPOINTMENT?: Love Canal residents seeking temporary shelter at the Niagara Falls Rodeway Inn must obtain weakly doctor's certificates statinO that a return to their homes could be unhealthy. Without the certificate*, the State wiH not foot the hotgl bill for residents such as Mary Furan (above), and their _ ' Institute and ts taking her own samples of the creek for chemical analysis. According to her, the State Health Department has been evasive with her inquiries about the results of their sampling. The Kennys’ seven year old son died of nephrosis, a rare kidney disease the Kennys are convinced was caused by the chemicals from the creek and the Canal area. But the State autopsy report did not indicate a causal relationship between the chemicals and the boy’s death. “It took 34 weeks to get the autopsy report, which we thought was superficial,” she said calmly. When asked if she thought the autopsy report reflected the State’s cautious stand, she replied, “Yes, Fm surethat’s so.” Mrs, Kenny acknowledged that the State was not adequately prepared-for the Love Canal health emergency, and she hopes that in the future, states will be more prepared for similar tragedies. But she noted, “The State could have acted faster because human lives are at stake. The State has a responsibility to protect its citizens.” . �i Warning: Hazardous Editor's note: Following is e list of some of the more important chemicals identified at the Love Cane! site and pfb human biologic hazards associated with them.

Amidst the crisis, residents continue to worry about the priceless harm to themselves and their children, while no one is sure where the estimated millions of. dollars will come from to pay for the massive clean-up. To date, New York State has been forced to pay much of the cost.

In a takeover bid by Hooker’s parent company (Occidental Petroleum Corp.) of another Corporation (the Mead Corporation) Mead’s lawyers felt it was unwise to be controlled by Occidental with massive damages pending against Hooker. Mead’s lawyers rejected the proposed takeover, contending that Hooker has a detailed year by year account of the names and quantities of chemicals it dumped in the Love Canal. Hooker maintains that this is simply not true and that any record of these chemicals has been compiled only recently by reviewing past production and sales records. Mead claimed thatHooker's disclosure of its possible risks was not enough to transfer liability to the school board.

Residents who were affected by the chemicals did not build their homes on the Love Canal site, but contiguous to it. Therefore, lawyers claim, the restriction does not apply to them. Though Hooker may not be liable under existing statutes, the corporation may be responsible under Common Law principles. Such principles include; —the principle of “strict liability” which states that anyone using dangerous substances such as explosives or chemicals may be liable for injuries regardless of safety precautions taken. —the Mead Documents also claim that under New York State law, Hooker may be liable as a creator of a “public nuisance” which “interferes with the enjoyment and usage of land.” 716-637-4150/716-482-1257 Movies and Meeting Thursday, Sept. 20th at 7:30 pm in room 234 Squire Ha>, MSC r ~^rizr—-—-—-I L*.

They include: failure to properly enclose the dangerous chemicals in the dump; failure to disclose to the Board of Education the hazardous nature of the wastes; failure to warn of the potential migration of the wastes from the confines of the dump; failure to monitor and maintain or to recommend that the dump site’s surrounding area be monitored over the years; and failure to warn the Board and others that the site and surrounding area were unsuitable for residential use. Davis claims tht if Hooker had retained ownership of the land, it would have corrected the dangers as soon as a problem was apparent. A crucial question in any lawsuit will be: If nothing were built on the dump site, then would chemicals have leaked into the environment?.; Hooker contends thwart a contractor excavating near the site scraped away part of a protective clay bubble, resulting in a chemical leak. Other sources insist that the chemicals have been seeping out all along the underground conduits which lead to the Niagara River. 642COLVIW AVENUE Onfe leader Lois Gibbs Seeks Federal aid for residents Administration—typifying the limited federal assistance that the Love Cana] has received. It appears that for years to come, the extent of the liability of the Hooker Chemical and Plastics Corporation will remain unresolved.

Furthermore, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has announced its intentions to sue the chemical corporation for its dumping of toxic wastes. Debated deed According to Hooker’s Vice President of Public Relations Bruce Davis, a caveat put in the deed of the land when it was sold to the Niagara Falls Board of Education clearly states that the school board will assume all responsibility for personal injuries or damaged property.

Having played against each other before, the two tennis standouts wasted no time getting to work on each other’s weaknesses. Pray has only been playing the sport about four years, but already he is ranked as one of the top players in the city. “He’s a big server.

Ketter cited a “new sense of institutional maturity” in the approach here to traditional missions, particularly with respect to the effect imposed by enrollments and the economy. “We will continue,” he said, “in our progress toward becoming one of the nation’s distinguished universities.

Rossbacher, Assistant to the Dean of Engineering and Applied Sciences. Spurred on by “unreal expectations” fueled by enticing job want ads, students flock en masse to the School of Engineering only to be unprepared for the academic hardships in store for them, explained Healey.

Morale affected? Reasons why engineering students are more apt to drop their degree goal abound. One faculty member suggested that the combination of both chemistry and mathematics and “hard” sciences physics during the underclassman’s first two years “scares” off many. Only the “diehard, dedicated, engineering student” is left, he commented. Healey suggested that because engineering majors have more labs and recitations than other students'- plus the fact they must stay in a set may account for the high program of study “attrition” rate afflicting the School. Engineering student Joseph Pontrello believed there was a feeling of “total disillusionment” and anxiety over being completely unprepared for the hardships he would have to endure.

Hurricane Fred’s dying blows, coupled with a Canadian cold front, submerged Western New York in a ijecord average of five inches of rain in a 24 hour span Friday morning. The storm, which converged on the area at about midnight Thursday, forced the closing of most area schools and some local roads. “One hell of a lot of rain fell here last night,” exclaimed chief Meterologist of the National Weather Service Don Wirsch. According to Wirsch, energy created by the two systems carried enough punch to unleash the most rainfall on Buffalo and surrounding areas in one 24-hour period in 86 years. The previous record of 4.28 inches was set in 1893. According to most local police precincts contacted by The Spectrum, traffic flow in South Buffalo was most affected by the rains. “Almost all roads with underpasses were fclosed off by daybreak, due to water backup,” said precinct 16 officer Pat Turner. Vet segments of several of the major traffic arteries running through the city were also choked off to morning commuters, creating numerous traffic jams on city access roads. Buffalo police officer Scott Weiner reported the five-mile stretch between the Parkside and Niagara -streets on Route 198 was closed to all traffic at 1:00 a.m., only one hour after the onset of the storm. .. .. - - Worse? A four-mile stint on the Kensington Expressway, north of the city, was also closed at about 4 a.m. “We tried to alert commuters as to the road closings by way of local radio bradcasts as early as possible, but it didn’t seem to help much. City streets were a mess this morning,” Weiner said. Meteorologist Wirsch also indicated the possibility that the overflow from many area creeks might have caused excess flooding in surrounding areas. “Cayuga and Tonawaiida Creeks were already two feet above flood stage by early Friday moaning and the Ellicott Creek is soon to reach that point,” he warned Friday afternoon. Amherst police reported that a ban on all traffic except emergency vehicles on roads In the township was instituted between 11:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. on Friday, closing off the Amherst, Campus and subsequently adding UB to the already long list of Erie County school closings. Most public schools in the city of Buffalo and surrounding areas had already failed to open their doors fqr Friday morning classes due to road inaccessibility. i*-.. ' Other dosings .. As for how the other colleges fared the storm, Canishis College reportedly tore students away from their books at 2:00 p.m. while, although Buffalo State College and Niagara remained in session, poor attendance was reported at both schools. Day 'classes at Erie Community College were also cancelled. Although the storm virtually took the area by surprise, resulting in traffic tie-ups, basement floodings and missed classes, Wirsch offered some consolation in the fact that things could have been worse. “We’re lucky that this wasn’t mid-December. A storm of this magnitude could have forced a situation much like that of the blizzard of 1977 he maintained. ” A IRC is: dorm government, dorm activities, and dorm services lire!

According to a spokesman from the Office of the Physical Plant, pumps were constantly in use at Baird and the water level was kept constant Other buildings that reported some flooding were Sherman, Foster, Harriman and Diefendorf Halls. The Main Street Library had problems with a leaky roof, but plastic covering was installed before any damage could occur. Half of the night custodial staff was retained on Friday morning -r* at overtime wages to assist in mopping up buildings on the Main Street Campus. Assistant Director of Public Safety Wayne Robinson said that several students were spotted jumping off the bridge on the Audobon Parkway into Lake LaSalle near the Ellicott Complex. “We- quickly put a stop to that,” Robinson pointed out, “because of the steel feinforcement rods in the water. It was a very dangerous situation.” Robinson added that students were mud sliding in Ellicott’s Marshall Court, “but we felt no reason to stop that.” Ron Stein from the President’s Office noted that flooding on Friday was the worst he has ever witnessed. “We’ve had flooding problems before,” he commented, “but never so extensive as to capcel classes. This should be good practice for once the snow comes.” - , > ' . Back to normal Robinson explained why the Amherst Campus was not as severly affected by flooding as was the Town itself. '“Most of Amherst,” he explained, is low-lying land, the cafhpus is raised, so the flooding which crippled the roadways in the Town, did not affect the campus.” He added that most problems in Amherst were at ntajor intersections such as Maple Road and Millersport Highway. Flooding in the Town at one point was at such a critical stage that Norton, Capen and Talbert Halls were offered by the University as evacuation sites for citizens. The electrical room for the Amherst Campus, located near Baird Point on Lake LaSalle, received considerable flooding as much as half a foot but Robinson said no damage was done. Sandbags were used in the room, as they were at several parts of both and pumps aided the clean-up. By 6 p.m. Friday four hours after the rain stopped the Department of Public Safety reported that operations at the University were running smoothly and that busing had'returned to a xnormal schedule, but both the Ridge Lea Campus and the Boulevard Mall stops were not being serviced. — — — - BUY A 1/4 POUNDER & GET $1.00 off any Columbia, Epic or CBS Record or Tape at Record Boutique Main St. In University Plaza m £ McDonald'S 838-6778 oiler good el UNIVERSITY PLAZA—MAIN STREET AND ■ OUR NEW LOCATION 3232 BAILEY AVENUE * Limit one per customer offer expires Oct. 15,1979 �<o Amherst Campus ELECTRICAL MECHANICAL CIVIL Possible transit line extension; planners will seek federal aid • AERONAUTICAL COMPUTER SCIENCE ENGINEERING MAJORS & GRUMMAN Aarotnac* Atroipact CarBAratian Corporation Will fie Interviewiag , » ON CAMPUS^PtBSigys Tuesday See your placement office for particulars Jf our on-campus date is GRUMMAN inconvenient, send resume and complete list of courses to Kathy Willsey, Grumman Aerospace Corporation, Bethpage, Long Island, New York 11714.

If approved, it could lead to a 1980 application for federal funds. Small remained noncommittal as to where the rail extension might end up: on the Amherst corridor route, as was envisioned in the late 1960s, or extending to other suburban areas such as Tonawanda. “We’re looking at rapid transit corridors in all Niagara Frontier communities to affirm what may be the best corridors to proceed with engineering and capital grant application Small said. ” Rail completion on time Defying expectations to the contrary, construction on the Buffalo light Rail Rapid Transit (LRRT) system is moving smoothly and on schedule to its planned, late 1984 completion date. “Progress has been good, much better than we anticipated,” John Winston, spokesman for the Niagara Frontier Transportation Authority (NFTA) Metro Construction Division, T said. According to Winston, the digging actually drilling and blasting with dynamite oh the two vertical shafts (adjacent to Abbott Library on the Main Street Campus and a similar one on Bolcom Street in the City oi' Buffalo) is moving without a hitch at an average rate of five feet per day. \ When these shafts eventually reach their designated depth of ,90 feet into the hard, 400 million year-old shale, boring machinery will be lowered into them. Work will then begin on one end of the 5.3 mile underground tunnel through which passenger cars will run. The eventual destination Memorial Auditorium in the heart of downtown Buffalo. One fare According to Winston, the tunneling will resemble a miniature coal-mining operation, xomplete with railroad box cars. When the $439.8 million transit system is finally completed, it will stretch 6.4 miles, end-to-end. There is talk by NFTA officials of applying for additional funding to extend the tracks to the Amherst Campus, where the system was originally intended to run. There will be 14 stations between the Aud and the UB Main Street Campus. Metro buses will service each area. According to Winston, the fare for the transit system and bus will be combined into one, allowing a person anywhere in the city access to the LRRT by bus without having to pay an additional fee. Perhaps the most drastic change on the face of the city will be the space on Main Street between Church and Tupper Streets. It will be converted to a pedestrian mall, lined with shrubbery and benches. The only vehicles allowed on the mall will be emergency ones or those making deliveries to establishments without access from side streets. . — — ...

No. 222791 (Prof. , ’ & Chmr..) Diefendorf 206 No Prerequisite �I Printed here for your perusal: the infamous Argonne Letter Editor’s 'Note: The following letter is the Argonne Letter. The Spectrum’s editors voted to defy the U.S. government restriction arid print the letter. This decision was partially based on a recommendation from editors of The Other One. After being interviewed for a federal court through the ACLU, this configuration was identified as conceptually similar to a diagram which the government wants to suppress in the Morland article. Teller’s peculiar geometrical arrangment of separated , . - investigation of possible government abuse of classification powers. The government subsequently classified the letter itself “secret(classified. The Spectrum prints the letter as an example of what the government considers to be “secret” information, but suitable for public discussion. " by Theodore A. Postal Gerald E. Marsh George S. STanford Alexander DeVolpi ' The government has released classified information that identifies the nature of the design concept upon which U.S. thermonuclear weapons are based. The release occurred in the course of a legal proceeding to prevent publication of an article by Howard Morland about the H-bomb in the Progressive magazine. We ask for a Congressional investigation into why the has released classified government information it claims to be trying to protect. The U.S. government has alleged that publication of Norland’s article would breach national security because it assembles certain facts about thermonuclear weapons that the government regards as Secret/Restricted. During course of the litigation, and" in spite of efforts to alert the government, several potentially sensitive affidavits were made public. The documents released by ffie government collectively identify the design concept on which U.S. thermonuclear weapons are based, and reveal that this design concept is far superior to all other known configurations. It is now clear that the government’s management of this information has resulted in a breach of its own security. is The government's position that information in the Morland article could significantly decrease the development time and effort necessary for a nonthermonuclear country to achieve thermonuclear status. The utility of this infor|H3tion, according to the government’s arguments, follows from the historical experience of the U.S. thermonuclear weapons program. In view of the large amount of relevam scientific-information' currently available, we doubt the Correctness of the government’s argument. Viowever, we will describe that argument in order to,provide a framework for the discussion that follows. The successful detonation of any thermonuclear weapon, the arguTnent goes, requires that a variety of competing processes be delicately balanced under physical conditions that are extreme even compared with those found at the center of the sun. There are many design ideas and concepts that can be aimed, at achieving this delicate balance. Determing which of these design concepts works, how easy they are to implement, arid how efficient they are relative to each other is a major activity in any weapons program. Since each design idea might itself require an enormous industrial and scientific effort, an identification of which design concept should be most favored could dramatically reduce the amount of redundant effort necessary to achieve a military useful weapon. In the context of that argument, consider the current situation. In Edward Teller’s 1976 Encyclopedia American articles on the H-bomb, a possible solution as to how a fission trigger and fusion materials might be arranged relative to each other within the casing of a thermonuclear weapon is outlined in a diagram. In an affidavit submitted amici curiae by Gerald E. Marsh, George S. Stanford and Alexander DeVolpi to a , elements requires that the weapon casing play an essential role in achieving thermonuclear ignition on a high-yield device, and is unique among possible design concepts. A further significant place of information was released through a two-part affidavit submitted by TA. Postol. He attempted, in the second part of his affidavit, to demonstrate how certain concepts discussed in the Morland article would follow from principles of elementary physics and pieces of public information. As the government wants to suppress this reasoning, the second part of the Postol affidavit was classified. Both the classified and unclassified parts were accompanied hy a detailed list of references which included specific page numbers to these concepts. The govermhent refused to delete these page numbers from the unclassified affidavit in spite of thyfact that the inclusion of the page numbers was called to their attention. In-an alarmingly detailed affidavit solicited by the government from Jack Rosenbren, it is stated that Norland’s diagram (and hence Edward Teller’s diagram through the unclassified Marsch, Stanford, DeVolpi affidavit) reveals “the nature of the particular design used in the thermonuclear weapons in the U.S. stockpile,” and further declared this configuration to be “the basic design concept(s)” on which U.S. thermonuclear weapons are based. This affidavit was made available to the media. The Rosengren affidavit further identifies this design concept as one that is particularly practical in that it is easier (relative to the other configurations) to implement successfully and is far more efficient than any other known '■ type of design. The general correctness of the Norland article is further confirmed by the disposition of Harold Brown, which was also placed in the public domain. It, is Inexplicable that these affidavits were not classified, if one accepts the government’s arguments as to the sensivitiy of the contents of the Norland article. The nature of the design concept on which U.S. thermonuclear weapons are based, and the to efficiency of' this design concept others, appear to have been closely guarded secrets. Although we regard much of this information as already in the public domain, the consistent protection of this information by the government would have dictated that the Teller diagram never published, the Narsh, Stanford, DeVolpi reference to that diagram be classified, Postol’s references be classified, and no statements that either draw attention to, or rule out, any -thermonuclear design concept by allowed. Thus it seems that those entrusted with handling classified information associated with this court case have already released much of the information that the suit was brought to protect. Further, even if the Morland article is not eventually published, the bootleg copies that will inevitably get into circulation (some already having reached Australia) now have their credibility certified by government imprimatur. Another particularly disturbing aspect of the government’s handling of this information pertains to the possible use of classification and declassification for political purposes The - relative government's confirmation of the ‘TTte Other One’ defies gov’t by printing letter by Daniel S.

Could someone please answer a question for me? You see this is my first semester ot full time study and I can’t understand how the “system” is supposed to work. I am now taking physics 107 and, at the risk of name dropping, it is “taught?” by Professor Beth. Now maybe I have no I.Q., but I am not learning Physics; I would think that a University this size would have some means of auditing a teacher’s performance especially in key areas. (In piy opinion, Professor Beth lacks all ability (or desire) to convey his subject to the students.) Oh yeh, my question: 1 would like to know if there is anyone I can contact that can recognize this type of problem after it is brought to his attention and correct it. I am one out of. 60 students in his 107 evening class. He also instructs one other evening class “that I know of,” 120 students are “right now” being denied the knowledge of Physics. - Ray Bergan — It is scary to try to imagine where this country would be if The Pentagon Papers weren't published or the Watergate scandal wasn't uncovered or the US. role in Chilean politics wasn't examined. One thing is perfectly clear; The government needs to be watched closely, continuously, and with the scrutiny that a prison guard exercises in eyeing his prisoner. If we do not watch the government the way it should be watched, then we will shortly become its prisoner. We will never come close to controlling what is ours to operate. We will never fully understand the decision-making process and antagonism will mark the government's relationship to the people it is designed to serve We will never know the real costs of nuclear power. In this country, supported by the Bill of Rights the press serves as the government's overseer. Competitive journalism and alternative newspapers ensure the press' credibility. On this campus. The Other One's gutsy decision to run a classified government document is perhaps the best example of the advantages of having alternative newspapers. Although they have only published four issues, the article that ran last Thursday was by all means their best story to date. Recognizing the vast importance of that story, The Spectrum ran the Argonne Letter in today's paper but The Other One brought the issue to our attention - In a competitive atmosphere. The Spectrum would admit that we were scooped. But given their claim to serve as an alternative journal in a symbiotic atmosphere this paper would like to commend The Other One for bringing an issue of this importance to the campus Inconsiderate charity To the Editor. — - It was very charitable of the Student Association to sponsor a carnival last week to benefit the United Way.

Outside this window that opens toward* me rather than up, the climbing ivy leaves turning surely from summer’s green to autumn’s rust reds on the flat facade of Harriman Library shake in the wind. . More and more of us are also shaking. Jane has recently been proposed to by her boyfriend of the past 10 months. She lives in Amherst, best known for Ellicott and affluence, in the same white frame house called home from the time she could speak. She is a poet. A good one. Once, she wrote a poem for an old friend desiring a full moon on her birthday. And the poem itself became the moon. I have never told her how now, whenever the moon hangs white and round in the night sky behind a shroud of mist, I want a poem too. Her boyfriend, from Algeria, works in Delaware. Since his move three months ago, their relationship has been reduced to wire and the flow of ink on paper. Because her parents do not approve, she has not gone to spend weekends with him. We sat in the muted amber light of the Steer, nursing thick white mugs of their warm coffee, our eyes fixed on the flame wavering through the stained glass candle holder between us, and wondered why we cared at all. Isn’t poetry enough? We want to be Erica Jongs with substance. We want our poems to sustain us through years and years of daily rituals, brushing out teeth, eating lunch and dinner. We want words to make our living; their rhythm, their meaning to become our lives’, the'shape they take on clean white paper to be the shape of things to come. Symmetry. Lines breaking where they should. But our poems lie silent now, kept for future reference in the mind’s vast storage space. Jane no longer stares at one of her mother’s mason Jars of peach halves whose gouged out pits have left their blood red flesh bare. That poem has been done. We stare at ourselves, the walls, the dull gleam of a black telephone holding our lovers’ voices'static on the other end. And there is no time but to stare. Sometimes the poems roll in our heads, bumping each other for attention, screaming out their need to be written, to be read and understood. There is no time when you are shaking. If she marries, she becomes the wife of a man she is unsure she even knows. And if she doesn’t, she risks never knowing him at all. Women never bet unless a win is guaranteed. Her eyes remind me of the honey flavored candies wrapped in cellophane and sold loose in jars. They moisten when the choices become clear, when woman who loves poetry becomes the woman who loves a man. We grieve because we cannot be both. She has made her decision. The noise in her head will no longer wake her up at night. 1 am relieved. But not because of the validity of her d ecision, hot because I believe her decision is the right decision. By making a choice, she is making a sacrifice. And who is ever happy when something’s lost. It is our fate to be content. No, the relief is because by making a choice, she at least has taken action, given herself a base from which to build' a direction to move towards. She is no longer stuck in between two arrows on a flat facade. She’s pointing her own. And she will marry a man she loves and knows when she is ready, when she loves and knows herself; when she no longer must choose between work and love because jvork and love will not be split. It is possible. She is a poet. Romantics live for the possibilities, suffering through the choices because in the end when the choices are made, they know not all is lost. Sacrifices leave room for more choice, more possibility, more poems. No more shaking now, the sun is out, Frederick is gone to bed or Algeria or Delaware. 1 spoke to Jane last night. She is writing. I am waiting for the next full moon. �/ "« *■ 1 feedback Your University To the Editor. * find a multitude of courses at your disposal.

Instead of objectively dealing with the events and issues surrounding Anrew Young’s resignation, the Palestinian dilemma, and the deterioration of Black-Jewish relations over the past' decade, the professor chose to employ logic (if it can be called that) and rhetoric which appeal more to emotion than to thought. Frankly, language such as “the European guilt complex about Jewish persecution” and “the shrill voice of Jewish demagogery” does not .represent constructive criticism of controversies encompassing difficult and complex issues. I refuse to believe that rational people, favoring Professor Asante’s views would resort to usage of language reminiscent of Nazi propaganda and the “Protocols of Zionism.” The Professor mistakenly believes that all Jews support Israel, and if they do, that they wholeheartedly support the Begin government’s policies concerning the Palestinians, the West Bank, and the occupation of southern Lenbanon. It can be Andrew argued that many Jews not only Young’s views on the Paliestinian question to be partially or wholly correct, but also admired his honesty and courage which represented his tenure at the United Nations. His “crime” was that he deliberately took actions which went against the policies of the United States government, not that his thoughts ran contrary to the views of an “expanionistic and exploitive” Israel. Discussions between Blacks and Jews have begun in order to resolve the various problems which remain in their troubled relationship. While many differences will stand between thMwo groups, they do share common interests which could only be strengthened through rational discourse. Blacks, Jews, and others should not allow letters like Asante’s to influence their thoughts: Rhetoric which excites irrational "feelings belongs in dialogues of little consequence, such as those which comprise the proceedings of an inept organization like the United Nations. Steven Kurlander Irresponsible IRC To the Editor: Over the'summer IRC has taken over almost one-third of Fargo Quad’s study carrols for use as office space. Thay have also begun to turn two-thirds of Fargo’s cafeteria into a game room. We the residents of Fargo strongly protest this irresponsible action by IRC. The cafeteria is used by all three colleges located in Fargo (Clifford Furnas, Urban Studies, Cora {?. Maloney), Events such as seminars, faculty-student dinners, one-to-one programs with the community, college meetings, and social events are some of the activities held there. It is also used as a study area. This is extremely important in light of the fact that IRC has stolen a great deal of our study area already. This means that the cafeteria is one of the few places left to study in Fargo. The area left to us is just not sufficient to handle the size of the events scheduled there. On top of this IRC did not seek the opinions of the students who live here. All planning was done during the'summer when no student input could be obtained.’ We resent the underhanded way in which IRC has handled the entire affair. In general, IRC has not clearly stated its exact future plans to anyone, including Housing, the Dean’s Office, or least of all thej-esidents of Fargo. / We can sec no logical reason for erecting a game room in our cafeteria. All IRC is doing is moving existing pool tables from all over Ellicott into Fargo. While presently we can play pool for free by getting equipment from the Elli or using our own, under the IRC plan we will have to pay for the use of these tables. It is quite obvious that the only party benefiting from this action is IRC. Furthermore, with minimal research IRC would have discovered that the pool and ping-p.ong tables scattered throughout Ellicott are seldom used. Since IRC has no plans to lock up this game room, who will take the blame when equipment is damaged? IRC plans only to have an attendant on duty from 3 p.m. to 12 p.m. After this time the game room will be a very attractive target for vandals. It seems obvious that the planned usage of the cafeteria will pose a security problem which undoubtedly will fall into our hands. representatives qf the student body and residents of Ellicott, IRC has shown quite a bit of ignorance in its recent actions.

A timely example of the influence that selective declassification has had on public policy pertains to the status of the Strategic Arms Limitation Treaty. Until six months ago State Dept, spokesmen were not permitted to validate the national technical means of verification included satellite pholoreconnaissance, yet alone to discuss well known and readily appreciated features of such systems. (While it may be true that such information is readily available to technically knowledgeable individuals, it is not available to the general public, who must ultimately make judgements about SALT through their legislators.) It is not surprising that the public wants SALT but is afraid to support it when government officials are unable to explain how it will be . enforced. If individuals are allowed to selectively classify and declassify information for the purpose, of: influencing public policy debate, it should be recognized that they are being given power to deprive the American people of information they need to intelligently chart their future. While governments obviously have legitimate classification needs, it is imperative that these powers be used responsibly or we risk destroying the demoncratic society we wish to preserve. The resolution of the conflist between the Progressive and the U.S. government is dearly a judidal matter; however, the inept or improper handling ofvsensitive information by servants of the American people is a matter that transcends the concerns of a legal conflict. We believe that this deplorable mishandling or misuse of secured information should be investigated at a Congressional level. All of the signatories have read an early version of the Progressive article and have filed affidavits with the court.

Many environmentalists fear that the public’s immediate quest for energy supplies may weaken the legislative gains of the 70s. “We are alarmed that expediting the quest for petroleum may sell many environmental laws down the river,” Bob Boardman of the National Audubon Socjety told The Spectrum. Ecologist Barry Commoner’s edit “Everything is connected to everything else” is reflected ithe that complex alliances environmentalists are forming with each other and other groups, such as business and labor. The environmental movement has branched out from its original emphasis on air and water pollution in the 60s, adding toxic and nuclear wastes, renewable energy sources and protection of that activities such as coal-burning and chemical dumping affect Many citizens began to realize everyone, and some congressmen such as Morris Udatl began to heed the call of their constituents by passing environmental legislation.

In reference to the potential political impact of Barry Commoner’s proposed third party, the Citizen Party, Tobin said it would have “little effect” because the nation is tied to the two-party system. The Citizen Party’s purpose is to educate consumers and create public forums on environmental issues, especially solar energy as an alternative to oil and coal. The inherent complexity of environmental issues has also reflected itself in the growth of governmental environmental agencies.

Yet, the dropout rate for the other professional schools is lower. One reason, Healey said, could be in the differences in the admissions procedure. Unlike Engineering, Management and Health Sciences admit students into their schools after the sophomore year. Students must achieve a certain grade point average and complete rigorous science courses before they can be considered for admission. This process ensures a low dropout rate, some say, because students have had two years to accustom themselves to college life and decide which major they are best suited for. - Lowest rates Humanities and the Social Sciences reportedly have the lowest attrition rates.

An extensive evaluation of University departments is undertaken on a regular usually five year basis by a national accrediting team. Evaluated is their progress since the last study, the curriculums and a review of recommendations from University officials. The word accreditation can send waves of apprehension rippling through a department, Sultz maintained, ‘The departments have a very impressive presentation to make.” He added that it will be a time of “constructive recommendations.” Although Sultz sees no major roadblocks in the granting of accreditation, he does acknowledge the problems related to limited space. Sultz maintained, “Trying to cope with scattered facilities is an inconvenience more than anything else.” - - however, — I, 1r - triangles drawing boards drafting pencils erasers paper •• • •• • •• •• •• ••• X 4 ID CARD technical pens parallel rules protractors scales;arch & eng. , templates vinyl board cover • .

(CPS) - The clash between rising tuition prices and the inflation guidelines has inspired many a Washington by to trip administrators. Council Chairman Authur Corazzini admitted that he’d gotten a lot of inquiries, but refused to say which school have or even how many — - Director Thomas O’Brien,' “arc being squeezed by rapid cost increases on th/unc hand, and depressed revenues on the Ever since President Jimmy Carter announced his voluntary wage-price.guidelines last fall, colleges and universities have been lobbying for special treatment. Higher education lobbies argued that they sould not be. treated as for-profit institutions, and that they should be allowed to raise student costs more than the seven percent the guidelines allowed. That argument suffered a setback when, just before Labor Day, the Council on Wage and Price Stability cited Boston University for “probable noncompliance” with the guidelines. Though a final decision has not yet been made, UB could lose some $50 million in federal grants and contracts this year. The Boston case is the Council’s first response to last spring’s round of protests over spiralling tuition costs, to numerous individual student complaints to the Council, and the many requests for “clarification” of the guidelines from colleges and universities. In fact many schools would appear to have violated the guidelines. A report from the college Board estimated that a student going to a four-year private college will pay 10.6 percent more than last year. Public four-year schools’ cost are up an average 8.5 percent. Things are even worse for students who commute to and from classes. The same report shows that total costs for those who commute to two-year private colleges are up 14.7 percent. Commuters’ costs at two-year public colleges are up 10.1 percent this year. Though the wage-price guidelines are voluntary, the Carter administration has pledged to withhold federal contracts worth more than $5 million from organizations that violate the guidelines. I other.” One reason for “depressed revenues” is the tax-cutting mood of many state legislatures. Legislatures in Massachusetts, North Dakota, New Jersey, Ohio, New York, and other states have insisted that students through higher tuitions for a greater percentage of - - pay their educations. Until recently, tuition accounted for an average of 11 percent of the cost of higher education. Some legislatures want the figure increased to 25 percent. Those kinds of pressures have forced tuition at public schools-in Oregon up 16 percent this year. Stanford’s tuition rose nearly nine percent, the University of Chicago’s 9.3 percent, and places as different as New Mexico State and Tufts in excess of ten'percent. Last spring the Council on Wage and Price Stability ruled that tuition was just one part of the price a school charges a student. Consequently, a school would violate the guidelines only if total student tuition plus housing plus student charges fees exceeded the seven percent limit. The College Board study, however, found that all classes of higher education were imposing total student charges increases in excess of the guidelines’ limit. The increases are part of a long-term trend that pre-dates the tax-cutting fever in most legislatures. From 1968 to 1978, in-state students at public colleges and universities suffered a 72 percent cost increase. Out-of-state students have had it even worse, with a 92 percent increase over the ten years. With or without council citations, the trend is likely to continue. Estimates for the 1990s are that a degree from a four-year public college may cost some $47,000. Private college will weigh in at $82;000. Even now, as the 79-80 academic year just begins, there are omens. Administrator? at Arizona State University and Nicholls State in Lousiana have beguri gendy warning their students of another round of tuition and fee increases in 1980. - - requested exemptions from the guidelines. “The information should be kept confidential,” he explained. “It’s'a matter of propriety.” Corrazzini did say that “tuition is a price of an economic unit, just like anything else,” and should consequently be subject to the guidelines. Yet until the August 29 citation, the ’Council had not officially moved against a college or university. Even then, the announcement was Craig guarded. Hoogstra, a staffer in the Council’s Office of Pay Monitoring, said “it appears to us initially that the schools .is not in compliance,” but that the announcement was not a finding of a violation. Such a finding, if there is one, will have to await a broader investigation. The council seems to be objecting to a new faculty contract, won last spring after months of frequently-bitter negotiations and a strike. As the result, the faculty got a seven percent increase last year, a 10.5 percent hike for the 79-80 year, and will get a 12 percent increase for 1980-81. Robert Bergenheim, a UB vice president, told Higher Education Daily that the increases were part of a university effort to have its faculty wages “catch up” to average pay scales. Such increases, of course, influence tuition levels. So do factors like the inflated costs of other college goods and services. UB, for example, is using less oil now that it did before the 1973 Arab oil embargo, but its fuel costs are five times what they were then.

The Bulls lefd after the first stanza by a one-goal margin when the offense clicked into gear and Avni Cirpili slammed the ball into the ECC net. Cirpili was set up when the Bulls rushed the net and Don Campbell threaded the Kat defense with a through-pass landing directly on the shooter s foot. Holding the lead took little effort for center fullback Jim LeRue, who glued the defense together with persistent ball checking. Buffalo’s efforts in the second half were stifled somewhat when ECC used a little ‘extra’ on defense. Although the UB team style of play was still effective, the Buffalo captains were constantly forced to ask the officials to curtail ECC’s “dirtywork”. It took Buffalo’s second tally to put the game away for good. Center fullback Jim DeVore moved the ball upheld with a slick effort before dropping it off to Mark Dinehart. Dinehart crossed the ball into the goal crease where Dave McKiver finessed the ball past ECC’s netminder, who sprawled in vain to prevent the score. The JV Bulls will meet Alfred Tech today at 4 p.m. at Rotary Field in their home opener. —continued from page 17— ... Delaware, “average black earnings were then only about two-thirds as large as average white earnings, compared to almost three-fourths as large (eight years earlier).” Hoffman argues that the study’s findings reinforce the argument for strenuous affirmative action programs that put young minority youth workers into decent-paying jobs for with opportunities advancement, while circumventing the traditional “networks” of job information. The National Urbafi League’s Robert Hill agrees: “Relevant job training programs are still vitally needed by minority youth. But must be an there equal commitment to insure placement in jobs that are commensurate with their newly-acquired skills.” And, rather than eliminate the minimum wage, says Boston University’s Paul Osterman, “The key elements for policy-makers should be full employment, without which no policy can succeed, affirmative aaction to create openings, an emphasis on placement rather than training in and employment programs, efforts to improve 'the formal institutions upon which blacks are dependent for decent jobs.” • DISCOVER YOUR POTENTIAL TO BE MORE THAN A STUDENT!

Boardraan commented*' “Most people no longer polarize a healthy environment and a healthy economy.” Kretschek added that people are realizing that the medical and govermental costs of pollution often exceed the costs of pollution control. He cited the Love Canal as a blatant example of poor planning. Environmentalists have expressed the need for economic analyse? to focus on the benefits of environmental quality, instead of concentrating on the costs of cleanups and higher prices for specific goods. But even without sophisticated analyses, “studies have shown that the public is willing to pay the costs for a i cleaner environment,” Kretschek said.

No. 202093 Adtording to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), Zoom is a caffeine based pill whose active ingredient is the Brazilian herb guarana, a shrub cultivated in the Amazon jungles. Users have touted the pill s effect to be much like that of cocaine while the FDA has claimed that the manufacturer’s suggested dose contains less caffeine than one or two cups of coffee. “Each tablet contains 30 milligrams of caffeine which is much less than the 100 milligrams derived from a cup of coffee,” said FDA spokesman Dave Salinger.

T( a somebody is Marc a West Coast en repreneur who claims that his product would solve what he caned the nation’s human energy crisis, ve been getting orders for as many as 3000 cases a day. they re driving me crazy,” he was erns ern,. quoted as saying in an Associated Press story on his recently realized gold mine. In and around Los Angeles, Zoom currently sells for about $9.95 a bottle containing about 90 tablets. The label claims that the pills are an organic stimulant and appetite depressant straight from tfie Amazon jungles. “People say it’s like coffee and cocaine, Bernstein said. “People say it’s speed with a buzz like cocaine. I make no claims. What I say is it’s a pure energy food for vitality.” The FDA says that guarana, the stimulant’s base, has been stocked in powder form on the shelves of health food stores in this country for years without much notice. The plant has also been a long-time ingredient in a Brazilian carbonated soft drink. Speeding its way Nevertheless, Zoom, the most current mixture concocted from the woody South American vine, is enjoying a popularity that is speeding its way across the country. Yet the product won’t be available in Buffalo outlets for at least several weeks. Although many area health food stores claim to have had many requests for the pills with some planning to be marketing Zoom in the next few weeks, one store owner has flatly refused to handle sales of the tablets. “Caffeine gives people anxiety and we’re trying to fight its over consumption in this country,” claimed Barrel! of Health Foods owner Frank Morrocco. He insisted that caffeine intake increases blood pressure and breathing rate while making the nervous system work harder by increasing adreneline flow. “It can play hell with you. I see herky jerky people coming through here all the time,” he observed. In agreeing with the FDA’s conclusion, Mcrrocco also saw the popularity of Zoom as nothing more than a passing fad and claimed that he was one merchant who refused to jump on the bandwagon. “What’s the big deal? People have been taking caffeine pills for years. What’s so special about Zoom?” �i $18,000 UB Foundation foots Ketter’s personal expenses tab T ' v- _ , * ' - ■ • * ~ by Elena Cacavas The University of Buffalo Foundation, Inc. was recently under fire by State auditors for picking up a $47,000 expense tab for University officials, about $18,000 of which was tagged to UB President - - Larry Darmsteder - * L. Ketter. a The broad purpose of the Foundation as stated in its nonprofit educational corporation charter is to “promote departments of knowledge or education at the State University of New York at Buffalo,” the auditors stated. “It is our opinion that providing funds to cover the personal expenses of University officers does not meet this purpose.” The audit is a 53-page long survey of University operations for July 1, 1975 to December 31, 1977. Its recommendations are met by UB officials and those of the central administration of the State University in a 43-page response. Citing the need for flexible funds in a huge University choked by restricted State support, UB Foundation President John Carter defended the expense allocation. “The recommendation that the ‘Foundation should discontinue the practice of allocating a portion of its operating budget to support the expenses of University Officers’,” Carter retorted, “is inappropriate since the Foundation not make a portion of its operating budget available for this purpose.” Robert POCKET MONEY? UB Foundation President John Carter defends the Foundation's policy on expense accounts against criticism from State Auditors, who objected to the Foundation footing the bill for University officials. Carter said that State funds don't cover the money needed for University officials’ expenditures such as the $18,000 President Ketter spends annually. individuals for the specific purpose of support to officials. The amount of appropriation is determined ? by Foundation Executive Committee review of a | recommendation made by Ketter. Carter maintained that this procedure has been operative since the University became part of the § State system in 1962. He added that each time it has | met the criticism of auditors. “We are,” he j maintained, “supporting activity that the State won’t. There is no real expense line in the operating <o a problem recognized 17 years ago.” budget But, he added, the State does allow for about $2000 to be expended for public relations. “However, that’s only a pitance in this State system,” he said. Expense allocations range from less than $100 to no more than $2500 to any office besides the President’s to which about $18,000 is assigned. Carter maintained that Ketter’s responsibilities as the highest officer of the University entail more functions, accounting for the approximate $16,000 difference. Additionally, he said, large receptions and dinners are tagged onto this line. Ketter could not be reached for comment. Terming the monies generated and administered by the Foundation for disbursal “very modest,” Carter said they are made available for the “purpose of meeting those University-related expenses that cannot be paid from State appropriations.” He added that the practice is endorsed by SUNY. • Newt Editor *“ — * Not meeting purpose Endorsed by SUNY to the audit’s In its 43-page response Carter’s officials echoed The funds, he explained, are solicited by the recommendations, and —continued on page 28— Foundation from various corporations Space available in: LIN 345 NATURAL LANGUAGE AND THE COMPUTER "Computational tools and models for business, social science and the humanities."

Ella Conger Goodyear’s portrait has come home after an absence of approximately seven months when it was stolen from its quiet corner in the lobby of Goodyear Hall. The painting, currently in storage, was taken on October 8, 1978. Ads placed in The Spectrum by Lolly Ketter, wjfe of UB President Robert L. Ketter, requesting the return of the painting went unanswered. with no questions asked Then came a lucky break. This past May, a student moving into an off-campus apartment was surprised to find the portrait leaning against the bedroom wall. The police traced the previous tenants, four UB students, who confessed to the theft. The four students who took the painting will be tried valued at approximately $5000 before the Student Wide Judiciary and possibly civil court. No damage was done to the portrait. It will be hung on Goodyear Hall’s tenth floor. Goodyear, Ella Conger General A. Goodyear’s son, commissioned the portrait in 1927. The artist was Augustus John, a famous English artist of the time. The portrait has graced Goodyear since 1961, when the family donated it - - — - — to the School. Gracious hostess Ella Goodyear was well-known in Buffalo as a philanthropist and a gracious hostess. A patron of the Buffalo Smyphony Orchestra (now the Philharmonic) and other area musical groups, she also established a fund in her husband’s memory in the Albright-Knox Art Gallery which paid for a number of its permanent exhibits. Ella Goodyear was recognized for her strength of will. When told she had cancer (requiring an operation), and that she had only one chance in a hundred of living, she took it all in stride. She recovered completely and eventually tossed a special walking harness away. She was never again seriously ill until her fatal illness 33 years later. As a result of her religious experience, she wrote a book entitled Journey of Jesus which was held in high regard by the leaders of many churches of different denominations in a number of cities. Lolly Ketter said that Ella Goodyear’s spirit could best be revealed in a quote by portrait artist Augustus John concerning his subject. “The completion of the work was interrupted by an accident to my sitter (Goodyear) who slipped and broke her ankle one day when I was out with her.

Crangle demonstrated its strength as Buffalo’s leading political power. Rutkowski defeated challenger County Comptroller Alfreda Slominski. Slominski, well known for her outspokeness which as caused _ politicar agitation among party leadership, had her campaign severely deflated when she lost party the Conservative endorsement to the young, clean-cut Rutkowski early in the race. Rutkowski appointed was interim County Executive when Edward Reagan resigned to take over the State’s Comptroller Office. The former aide to Kemp, Congressman Jack Rutkowski promised not to raise county taxes next year and to crack down on Welfare fraud and abuse. In the November elections, Rutkowski will face business executive Frank McGuire. The contest, which is expected to be characterized by high spending, could also witness a debate; both men have issued challenges. Tuesday’s primary proved a battleground between the forces of Crangle’s democratic organization and their political nemesis, Mayor James D. Griffin. Griffin unsuccessfully supported against candidates Crangle-endorsed incumbents in the Lovejoy and Niagara District Council races, the at-large Council contest, the race for City Comptroller, and for a vacant seat Quick The Delaware District primary witnessed the Democratic organization’s endorsed candidate, Alfred T.

The act .passed by both houses and signed into law by Governor Hugh L. Carey in July, includes committees and subcommittees in the definition of a public body. According to Executive Director of the State Committee on Public Access to Records Robert Freeman, the Open Meetings •Law was 'originally intended to include committees and subcommittees, but it was not spelled out in the law. Public body is defined as “any entity for which a quorum is required to conduct public business and which consists of two or more members performing a government function for the State or an agency or department thereof.” Critics had charged that, since much of the action taken by a public 'body is initiated in committees, permitting these committees to close their doors subverted the intent of the law. p These bodies are still provided with some leeway, since organizations can still go behind closed doors in “executive session.” Now however, personnel discussions must refer to a particular person or corporation rather than just any person. When the act becomes law on’ October 1, notice of meetings scheduled a week in advance must continue to be given to the news media as well as “conspicicuously posted in one or more designated public locations at least 72 hours before the meeting.” - Officials act swiftly, asbestos already removed from Niagara by Maik Meltzer Campus Editor Students at Niagara University can breathe easier now that potentially dangerous asbestos particles no longer share their environs. Asbestos, banned as a building material in 1973 because of its carcinogenic properties, was removed from Niagara’s Dunleavy Hall in late August when it was discovered flaking from steel support beams. At first, University officials were puzzled over the mysterious “snow,” and the confusion mounted when neither the architect, the contractor or the subcontractor could find records detailing the content of the particles. When the substance was analyzed and found to contain asbestos, Niagara officials acted swiftly to make repairs. “We got the word on Monday and we got the contractors in on Friday,” Niagara Vice President for Business Affairs Donald L. Doyle told The Spectrum. Teams of workers in disposable clothing and protective face masks scraped the asbestos from the girders and replaced it with non-toxic gypsum at a cost of roughly $60,000 to the University. Doyle said he ruled out covering the asbestos with a plastic sealant because the life expectancy of the sealant was too short. “That’s just postponing the problem,” he commented. “It would probably cost us more in a few years to do it that way.” While the cost of Niagara’s repair project was substantially more than UB’s will be, Doyle felt that the safety of his students and faculty was worth it. “We just felt we shouldn’t take any chances with people’s health,” he said. Niagara officials did not opt to conduct an air as UB did to determine the sampling test number of floating particles per cubic foot of air. According to Doyle, “All we knew was that the samples contained asbestos and that was enough for us.” - vo* $4.00 per hour.

The colloquium is sponsored by UB’s Department of Political Science. - Fire resistant Asbestos was discovered in Baird Hall last January by the New .York Public Interest Research Group (NYP1RG) although UB Director of Environmental Health and Safety Robert Hunt has said that he knew of it as early as two years ago. Hunt maintains that several times he considered removal of the asbestos tiles but that he did not believe they posed a potential health hazard. The repair work is being done, however, because of concern expressed by UB students and faculty. Though the dangers of asbestos are well known, the material has several useful characteristics. The asbestos in Baird Hall serves as a sound absorbing agent allowing several students to practice without drowning each other out. Beyond its acoustical value, asbestos is extremely fire resistant. It was used at Niagara University to prevent the steel beams from melting in a fire. • Asbestos was found and removed from at least ‘Should hold’ But this University has chosen to handle its two other schools in the past few years.

(716) 831-5552 Each fall, about 80 percent of incoming freshmen sign a board Food and Vending Service (FVS). And each fall, the complaints begin again and continue until December. According to FVS Director Donald J. Hosie, about 22 percent then drop their contracts totally. Some other students opt to reduce the size of their meal plan. Students have traditionally challenged the quality of FVS offerings. However, according to Goodyear’s Food Service Manager Hayward Parks, “We buy top-grade foods through a central food buyer.” He claimed that food quality standards are never lowered, neither after students are committed to their contracts nor during the second semester when the demand (and the budget) falls. “We have nothing to be ashamed of, nothing to hide,” Parks added. Richmond Food Service Manager Robert Dieckman attributed many of Ellicott’s problems to overcrowding. The food, must be mass-prepared to accommodate everyone within a short time. “On a weeknight, we’ll serve 750 to 800 students in a cafeteria designed for 350,” Dieckman said While the Meal Preference Chart has been omitted from this year’s contract, FVS is relying upon, according to Hosie, a “Cycle System:” five menus which change weekly and will gauge student response to particular foods on a daily basis. Hosie explained that Food Service “survives bn feedback from the students,” and, at this point, he noticed, a “lack of complaints.” Hosie and Assistant Director Donald A. fiozek hold Food Service “gripe tables” Forums at each dining area with its respective manager every six to eight weeks. One manager the serving staff (comprised mostly of work-study students) endures much verbal abuse from fellow students over the food. “Some complaints are legitimate, but students should complain to them (Hosie and Bozek),” he said. “A lot of these kids work here to make ends meet. They shouldn’t have to take abuse from their own peers fqr something they can’t control.” As for profits, Hosie reported a $6000 loss from board contracts last year. This year’s food contract prices have been increased 5.5 percent to cover higher food costs, maintain equipment and replace stolen items. Theft, according to Dieckman, can hurt the most. “Enough of our serviceware is found in (form garbage pails at the end of the year to stock an entire cafeteria,” he said.

With the incraaaad wattage and ragna, WBFO ia hoping to gain lam listeners, CHARGED UP: WBFO. the UB bated public radio nation. will toon ba tripling ita broadcast range with tha installation of a "radar dish" behind Pritchard Hall on tha Main St. W6F0 expects more listeners as broadcast range increases Squire Hall based public radio station WBFO, licensed to the University by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), is currently in the process of two major changes that will enable more diversified programming and make it available to a larger audience. WBFO, whose main funding comes from both the Corporation for Public Broadcasting and UB, is one of over 200 public radio stations across the country to be linked by a satellite this forming a noncommercial network. The FCC approved the network last January after strenuous lobbying efforts by members of National Public Radio (NPR), an association that distributes programming 19 public radio stations across the country. The satellite will offer each station the opportunity to broadcast a wider range of events occurring throughout the country, including live Congressional debates, concerts and news. According to acting WBFO General Manager and Program Director David Benders, the station is in the process of installing a “radar dish” behind the Main Street Campus’s Pritchard Hall that serves as the station’s link to the radio network. The “dish” itself is 4.5 meters in diameter, and once erected will stand roughly six to eight feet off the grOpnd. A solid fence will be built around the facility for protection. With the expected increase in programming, Benders stated that the station will also have a power boost in November, “We presently transmit at 770 watts, but with the increase it will be brought up to 21,400 watts. That should at least double our audience.” Benders noted that with an increased audience, WBFO will be looking for greater listener input into programming. / Increased audience at output reaches WBFO its current approximately a six-mile radios around Buffalo, but with its increased wattage that should more than yi/ogcu triple. “Throughout WBFO’s 20-year history, we by Joe Simon Campus Editor ' have wanted to increase our audience. We were finally granted the permission in 1976 by tlie FCC,” Benders noted, “and we got the money from a grant shortly after.” The station will have a new directional antenna to broadcast away from the Canadian border. WBFO is close to the frequency of a Canadian television station, and as with any border city, all Buffalo stations must check with Canada for permission to expand. According to WBFO Producer Linda Wagner, the station’s satellite “dish” should be functional in mid-November, and' used, officially in February of 1980 when all _of the network’s connections are completed. Wagner mentioned that of the 200 stations to receive transmissions, 17 will also have the power to transmit with the ability to broadcast local events nationally, these “uplinks” are located in various metropolitan cities. WBFO applied for an “uplink” as did many stations, added Wagner, but was denied. “Buffalo has three public radio stations (WBFO, WNED, WEBR) and was denied an uplink. New York City has one very weak public station (WNYC) and they were granted one,” Wagner noted. “We just felt some balance could have been used in their decision.” 509 Elmwood Ave. (Near Utica) Offers you the chance to be a MODEL advanced halrcutters (trained, experienced haircutters, studying advanced techniques) a $20 value for $5.00 881-5212 for an appointment .Call PHOTOCOPYING PHOTOCOPYING PHOTOCOPYING PHOTOCOPYING PHOTOCOPYING PHOTOCOPYING PHOTOCOPYING PHOTOCOPYING In stereo The use of the new satellite will not merely enable WBFO to broadcast live concerts from arotmd the country, but to broadcast them in stereo. Previously, concerts had to be taped and then mailed to the station as broadcasts from NPR could not be received in stereo. Benders said that the 16,000 miles of land lines NPR currently uses are not capable of broadcasting in stereo and that has been a problem for public FM stations around the country. Funding for the ground terminals of the satellite system has come from a grant by the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB), with an estimated cost of 18.2 million dollars.

Robert Ketter is this University’s President and should be evaluated by members of this University—not an outside team of three presidents. The new evaluation guidelines attempts to preclude effective campus input by eliminating the campus-based committee that would have evaluated Ketter under the old guidelines. But the new guidelines go further, they attempt to control how any one constituency on campus will garner its own input—to direct Its own leader, when he meets with the evaluators. The Faculty Senate has legitimately challenged this attempted coup. If the Faculty believe that appropriate input will be obtained by distributing a survey, then it Is their right to do so. It's none of the SUNY Trustees’ business to Interfere. The SUNY Trustees ean change the game but they can’t take the pieces off the board at the same time. The UB Faculty are much too concerned with their University to rely on an outside team to adequately gauge faculty sentiment based solely on Faculty Senate Chairman Newton Carver's interpretation of what that sentiment is. That is why the Senate mandated that Garver use the information obtained from this soon-to-be distributed survey.

We don't want the President to tell us that the student attrition rate is soaring, or that the faculty here are demoralized, or that the money scene is tight—we want to know what he plans to do about While he’s at it, he might as well tell us how he can justify spending $18,000 of the UB Foundation’s money on personal expenses. State auditors criticize “providing funds to cover the personal expenses of University officers.” We can see the need for some of this money, BUT we are sure that the Foundation’s hard-solicited money could be put to better use. In addition, UB Foundation President John Carter revealed that Ketter has spent $18,000 of the $50,000 given for all University officers for each of the last five years. We find that hard to stomach while the rest of the University grappled with inflation and fiscal cutbacks, Robert Ketter's personal expense budget remained the same.

Basil I have often been accused of having a romance with Perversion, wantonly sleeping with her in her miasmfc bed, conceiving articles based on baseness. My professional epithet—punk reporter, geek and sickie seeker—was much more correct than I was. Now this reputation I cherished. Such a daring provacateur of social illumination I was! Questing after the murk of reality, shining a proverbial penlight into the caverns of despair, tunnels of torture, all the while consciously delighting the readers’ own infernal tastes. The bums, those prostitutes only blind puffy men could touch, pornographers: they were my subjects. I see now though that my boundless pretension was also baseless. I was not an enlightening force, a tool of change. I was just another manifestation of what has become the latest chapter of America’s search for the meaning of individuality. And America is making no bones about what She has found; in fact, we are singing about it, publishing it, dressing for it and eating it. The New Decadence. In the final issue of New Times, the much missed leftist news feature magazine, Edmund Smith wrote an article trying to explain the latest trend in recreational sexuality: sadomasochism. Briefly, he stresses how, in order to find the general direction of American culture, one must find the current affectations of gay culture. Witness, for example, discotheques and fashion design. So when White, himself gay, describes the expansion of sadomasochism in homosexual life, he can logically hypothesize that the rest of America will be jogging right after it. He notes the increased social acceptance—hell, stature even—In the traditionally straight milieu nonheterosexuality is getting. A friend will press your elbow and smile coyly, cutely hinting that he is considering exploring his “tendencies.” White can point to the arising suburban way of life, in part, to blame. What kind of wholesome symbols do we have then to emulate? Vested suited data analysts and Wall Street warblers starkly evince the alienation we feel between our economic roles, are assigned en masse, and the rest of our hunger’s needs which just can’t balance their sheets. The 1960’s saw the multitutinous cogs, spokes and hubs of the capitalist wheel begin to pop outside of its blind roll, and search for personal meaning in social causes, the Great Society, Peace. But so many cooperative efforts finished fruitless. And many of the gains of the period accumulated became, and are still becoming, unravelled. This University, In its miorocosmic way, is full of examples: the near collapse of the alternative mode of education the College system affords, the paralysis of the Pass/Fail grading option, the Administration’s reversal of affirmative action trends. So self-definition In the 70's has had to spring from some other well, the one social bone parched. People turned into themselves and started searching for the roots of their natures. I caustically suggest that nothing organic was unearthed and something else had to be come up with. Baseness fit the bill elegantly, its virtues simple, intuitive and easy to Identify—so perfect to fill a barren ego. N The new purveyors of decadence are curiously similar to traditional Western Religious Man in terms of their mea culpa do-no-right image of Man/Woman, rejecting any notion of salvation, empyreal, earthly, or otherwise. Zooming instead towards its antithesis—such a zealous search this—the perforated punks, the Chippewa tricksters and the whip wielding “masters” explore the bounds of depravity, looking for, if you will, their “hearts of darkness... But much of this decadence isn't even honest. White notes that most sadomasochistic activity Is more" play acting rather than pain inflicting: and he questions whether the archetypes the subculture molds and aspires to are at all close to reality. A “bottom man” would rather receive feigned pain from a lawyer dressed as a construction worker than, for example, an honest-to-goodness construction worker. This new culture of decadence chizophrenic is so often not even authentic enough to immerse itself in the mire of the real thing. �Editor’s note: To start the season, we thought It would be best to Include portions of columns that ran In The Spectrum's summer Issues. by Diam Manning and Ed Strumlauf John Paul Getty, Howard Hughes, and John D.

At a time when many students have just moved into what will be their new home for the upcoming school year, a place like Hickey’s Outdoor Flea Market can come in mighty handy. Located on Main Street in Clarence, it’s an ideal place to search for all those apartment and dorm room needs. Whether you are looking for a couch or a fly swatter, a garden hose or an antique rugbeater, one of Hickey's 100 or more dealers is sure to have what you need. Every Sunday, as early as 6 a.m., you will find rows of tables displaying furniture, clothes, crafts, antiques, and the like. With harvest time at hand, it is also a good place to pick up fresh (a word that Super Duper does not know the meaning of) produce at low prices. Don’t be afraid to barter with the dealers to get what you want for the price you want to pay. And remember, the earlier you arrive, the more likely you are to catch some good buys. Just recently we were lucky enough to pick up an old oak rocking chair for just $20 and a wide assortment of cooking and baking equipment all priced at $1 or less. All you need to bring with you is an alert eye, a sharp tongue, and a car with enough trunk space to cart away the bargains. Hickey's is located on Main St., 14 miles East of the Main St. Campus (about T miles past the Eastern Hills Mall). On the way, you’ll pass by the ClarenceOpen Air Market on the right*'This flea market is:.’smaller than Hickey’s, but is also another great place to pick up cheap goods. Save that stop for later if you’re game. Hldkey’s Is just a little further up the road on the left. Be sure not to park on Main St. because parking tickets aren’t S biaT'gatn af any price. • • • * Theta Chi goals * Lions and tigers and bears, oh myll! Wednesday, September 19, they are free. No, not to take home, but to visit at the Buffalo Zoological Gardens (837-3900). Maybe It is not the San Diego Zoo, but with the price of gas today, it is cheaper to go to. especially on a “free day.” All the Standards are there, from the Buffalo-born giraffes to LaCoste alligators. Samson the Gorilla, a resident of the zoo for more than 25 years will be on hand to mimic any funny faces you can make. It Is also an oportunity to see the new polar bears purchased through a community fund drive. Other new additions include a baby American elk and antelope. A special feature is the Children’s Zoo for kids of all ages who like to feed and touch such animals as horses, rabbits, goats and camels. You can watch the other animals being fed at the following times: bears, 2 p.m.; lions, 2:30 p.m.; monkeys, 3 p.m.; penguins, 3 p.m.; and sea lions, 3:30 p.m. Don’t expect handouts because the animals have been told not to feed the humans. The Zoo’s 23-acre site can be visited all year long from 10 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Normal admission is $1.50 for adults. Student priced Zoological Society memberships are available that entitle you to free admission to zoo§ and aquariums in both the U.S. and CanadarFuiiher details can be obtained at the Zoo. The Zoo is located in Delaware Park just off the Intersection of Colvin and Amherst. It is a .relatively short ride (about 15 minutes) from the Main St. Campus. Just travel West (toward downtown) on Main Street, hang a right on Hertel, then a left on Colvin and continue past Amherst St. right to the entrance. Traveling by bus is also a breeze. When you board the Metro 8 or 8A, ask the driver for a transfer slip. Get off at Main and Amherst Streets, and for that transfer slip and a nickel more (no wooden nickels, plese), you can ride the bus that travels down Amherst to Colvin Ave. t 5:; Jf you have any problems finding the Zoo, just look for one of the many new signs the City has posted pointing the way.

After a day at; the Zoo, you should be able to; identify the ■kingdom, phylum, class, order, familyvflenus and epodiesoMhe animal depicted onihe signs. ol s To the Editor: We, as the generating force behind Theta Chi Fraternity’s return, first wish to welcome all counterpart fraternities and sororities to the State University of New York at Buffalo. We would also like to take this opportunity to outline for this paper and its readers our attributes and goals. As a colony of the National Fraternity, we at the Buffalo chapter are benefited not only with the blessing and help of thousands of national brothers, but in addition, we are fortunate to have the helping hand of over a hundred alumni from Theta Chi's past Buffalo organization. We have chosen to be a Theta Chi Colony because we feel that a centralizing force, one which stresses strong bonds between friends and gives a chance for social interaction would be a great help to the students of this University. It is our goal to give this help and to teach our members responsibility and the ability to give of one’s self, and the wisdom to know when that help is needed. As Theta Chi grows, we hope that in the near future you will want to join us and grow with us. Theta Chi plans on becoming an integral part of this University. We are in the process of planning social events so that we can help to familiarize you with Theta Chi and its brothers. We feel that we are needed. We hope that you agree. ' David A.

Delta Chi chartering ; To the Editor The Buffalo Colony of the Delta Chi Fraternity would like to announce that as of Saturday, September 15, 1979, the Delta Chi Fraternity will have an established Chpter on the State University of New York at Buffalo campus. Founded here in 1897, the Buffalo Chapter became inactive for a number of years due to various social and political factors of the 1900’s. In February of 1978, a group of young men set out to reinstate an ative Chapter of Felta Chi at this University. Since Then, 19 members have been initiated. As the Delta Chi Constitution suggests, the members of the Buffalo Colony believe that one’s participation in the Fraternity will “promote friendship, develop character, advance justice, and assist in the acquisition of a sound education." The Chartering Banquet will be held on September 15, at which we will become officially recognized as a Chapter. Among the speakers to address us Saturdy evening will be President Robert L. Ketter of SUNY at Buffalo and Dr. Samuel Porath, professor at Niagara University and Rabbi at Temple Beth El. We consider our Chartering to be a significant step twoards a mood of greater interest and participation, strongly seasoned with kindness and respect, on the UB campus. Thank you, David B.

Me. *'*■ ' ’■ - | IffOS’s bureaucracy £ To thm Editor v | I £ v On the night of Sungpy, Sopt. 9, in tho Elllcott Complex over 200 students of thie University were treeted to yet snother example of poor planning and bureaucratic rad tape. I am of course referring to the Incompetency that reared Its ungainly head during the IRCB refrigerator rentals. ..nience the evenings activities the To comm*** employees showed up at 7:10 p.m., a good ten minutes late and probably a half an'hour later than they should have been to insure a proper set up. They arrrived to find 200 people in three nondescript “lines.” It was more like 200 people pushing to the front. Needless to say there was considerable yelling and pushing. When I questioned Mike Arnold, IRCB Business Manager, as to “how his bureaucracy Intended to straighten out the mess that their poor planning had caused,” he said, “I don't know. I don’t have any-answers. I really donn’t know what’s going on. Besides, it's not my responsibility.” When I asked him whose responsibility it was, he told me he didn’t know. A tittle while later a woman volunteered to help straighten out the people, but was turned down. Instead, abusive, hand picked workers, such as Russ Freedman, did nothing to speed the process and In the meanwhile refused to answer questions like, "Who Is in charge?” all the while threatening not to give out the merchandise If people did not stop demanding answers to these questions. In the mean time, only about ten refrigerators had been given out by 8 p.m., hardly a pace that would accomodate 200 people in the next two hours. Basically It boils down to this: 1) Why was it not organized better? Mike Arnold's excuse, “College students should be able to form their own line” is invalid; there were no arrows or cones showing the structure of how the line would run. 2) If IRCB, and Tom Blagriff in particular, knew that they were going to be late, why didn't they send staff or volunteers at 6:30 to organize? Does this take much managerial expertise? 3) Why are rentals only held one day a week instead of last year’s schedule of three days In a row, with afternoons and evening hours? Last year it took 20 minutes at the maximum to get a refrigerator, This year it took over two and a half hours. Why were only two of three sizes available? 4) Why was no one willing to take responsibility for an .obvious mistake? 5) Where is our 10 or 15 dollars in fees going? Certainly not into making things easier for the students these organizations are supposedly serving. Let us hope the same lack of planning does not go into this weekend’s "Sunfest” or we will be calling it "Dumbfest!” On behalf of those who endured it with us: — .§ " /-• Jeffrey S. Trespel Robin S.

I must admit that I mssed the first bend at "Buff State, the A’s. I just couldn't stay away from the UB bash Saturday, and you know how it was recovering from that. The A’s came on around .1 p.m., but by the time I arrived, Aztec Two-Step ws ready to take the stage. Most of the audience was into chewing bubble gum when this duo first broke into the folk scene some eight years ago, but that didn't hinder them from entertaining Sunday. Their exceptional vocal harmonies were the perfect prescription for the gorgeous faU day. Their set almost didn’t come about, though. Not only did the fine weather bring out throngs of people, but if also attracted swarms of bees. They £ t- seemed to bother the band more than the crowd, and the duo ws ready to quit if, not for the savior of insect repellent. The Two-Step zipped through a set comprised mostly of their older tunes tapped from their four albums, but with' a few newer numbers sprinkled in. Shirts rome off? Rockwell Quad seemed the perfect acoustical setup for the style of music Aztec Two-Step brought with them, but when The Shirts took over, the sound just wasn't right. The Shirts, an up-and-coming new wave band a la Blondie, brought out the punk rockers in the crowd. Whether they’ll make it or not is anyone’s guess, but their female lead vocalist, Annie Golden, looking fresh from junior high, doesn't quite have the appeal of Deborah Harry. She does move quite well on stage (unlike Harry’s rigormortis act) and has an adequate voice, but the band doesn't have a unique identity to compete in the fast flooding new wave scene. Steve Forbert, songwriter come songster, took the stage after The Shirts' hour set. The crowd had already diminished considerably in size, not for lack of good music, but for the aging afternoon. Forbert, another baby-faced rocker, finished the show with a set full of ballads and just plain rock and roll—guitar strumming and harmonica playing. The Goodtime Festival wasn't really a plot to outdo the UB Super Saturday. Buff State didn’t offer cheap beer or eats, though many people brought their own. They didn’t combine their musicathon with a football game, either. But they did have an edge in that they took advantage of Sunday's fine afternoon weather. The music may not have topped the rockin’ Jukes, but it surely was right on par. It’s not too ofeii that a weekend of free talent could satisfy so well. —Doug Alpern Jazz as the Music' Shaw to Sarah to Ayler Woody Shaw —Woody Three, Columbia 36977 The first side offers a three part orchestral suite of "Woody I: On The New Ark," "Woody II: Other Paths," and “Woody III: New Offerings.” Ranging from driving samba and blistering jam into lullaby of penetrating serenity, the suite is easily Shaw’s most brilliant work. It ranges, all his influences (big band, bop, blues gospel, Slavic & Third World rhapsody, freeform, etc.) and is unified thru -the driving swing and daring color characteristic of the brassman. This album is another case showing just why Miles Davis recommended Shaw to Columbia. Shaw (who here plays cornet & flugelhorn instead of 1 trumpet) is buoyantly lyrical, imaginative, and full of power. Above all, he puts it all together; “To Kill A Brick” finds him dueling with alto saxophonists Rene McLean and (where’ve you been?) James Spaulding in a burning madbop drag-em-out, and the only ones knocked out are those content to hear hammeredout bricks (should the last Word be put in Sarah Vaughan Sarcastic itimism bites hard singular?). "Organ Grinder” is the charmer of the set, a gliding quartet piece with Shaw singing majestically to the point. The man flies. If the "Ogan Grinder” referred to is Shaw’s old associate, Khalid Larry Young, then the late organ innovator is beautifully remembered. "Escape Velocity” (from the Vanguard Stepping Stones sessions) is slyly named; no one hides from this heat. A little bit of everybody’s on this album; Spaulding, trumpeter Charles Sullivan, trombonists Steve Turre &, (another where’ve you been?) Curtis Fuller, pianist George Cables, Nohu percussionists Azzedin Weston Urushiyama. From Shaw’s working quintet we have reedsman Carter Jefferson (burning), pianist Onaje Allan Gumbs (searing sensitivity), dynamic bassist Clint Houston (the powerful Buster Williams doing most of the album), and the manipulative thunder of drummer Victor Lewis. As if this and Shaw leading it all weren’t enough, the brassman went and got master writer Amiri (LeRoi Jones) —continued on page 20— HEWLETT-PACKARD INTRODUCES A NEW GENERATION FOR SCIENCE/ENGINEERING. xcellence eparat THE NEW SERIES E.

The second piece will appear in neyt week’s Prodigal Sun. Your comments are invite^. Bursting out from the by Jay Rosen background noise the television had provided came the announcer’s voice, clawing at my attention, demanding that I not only recognize it but consider its message. I resisted. With deliberate haste, I turned to gaze out at the late summer rain instead, picked up theTimes book review in case the rain failed me, and was prepared to sort out a $150 telephone bill if the voice hadn't quit / by then. It persisted. All attempts to ignore it were overwhelmed by the voice’s dammit-listen-to-me tone. Not only did I fail to ignore it, but that failure was the real power behind the voice; its whole attack sprang from the listener’s act of resistance. Realizing this, I was forced to admire the voice’s hold on my attention as I struggled to break it. That contradiction turned my desire to remain disinterested into a real resentment. The voice didn’t mind. It's mission was complete. The .message had been delivered. The Sale of Sales had been announced somewhere in my consciousness, Unbelievable Bargains were tumbling around in the space between my thoughts, orders to Buy Now silently boomed across my hidden impulses. I had been manipulated, against a real effort to avoid it. That I had seen it coming and fought back made no difference, for the voice sought neither my approval nor my attention but just a place in my head from which it could issue its subliminal commands to buy. All advertisers looked for that place; America’s most ruthless industry was paid find it. My oneagainst the market-tested march of the Hard Sell was doomed ' like a family hamburger stand opening up next to McDonald’s. The men who put that voice on the air would see my conscious resistance as its subconscious enemy, my defeat as their victory. I couldn’t escape their voice. That was the perfect ad—a 30-second trap that could hold even the most determined mind straining to yank itself free. Knack at the center of the photo, in the center of the drum that originally gave rock ’n roll its most memorable Repeat three times There is a real issue here in the mudmatch The Knack have caused with their first album, currently Number One in the country. The issue—because it is clouded by the phenomenal popularity of the is to - backbeat Reflecting the state of the industry The Knack's subliminal seduction - hilliqrWSpbnsistently { £ Subliminally seductive The Knack’s producer, Mike Chapman, lives off hits the way a leech lives off blood, by getting under his victim’s‘skin. Chapman is responsible for two of the past year’s most sexually exploitative hit singles, Nick Gilder’s “Hot Child in the City’’ which helped begin the current rush to Cock Rock, and Exile’s "Kiss You All Over” which tested its boundaries for obscenity. Chapman creates musical hooks with a vengeance, his manipulative devices are so powerful that they reach to the listener's limits, where the line between loving and hating a song gets thinnest and the ability to remain indifferent disappears. This is why so many people swear by The Knack before p j g> | £ * | ? £ they swear at them, or vice versa. Chapman takes rock ’n roll and jingle advertising and merges the two. The Knack's songs stick in your head like Barry Manilow’s TV melodies, not because they look for a place in your heart (where the Beatles’, to take an appropriate example, struck) but because they search out that place in your head where the moment melts into memory. Advertising attempts to take familiar impulses and attach to them new messages about a product. The listener has already accepted the former and now associates it with the latter. The uniqueness, the creativity, is in finding the perfect match between the two. AT&T found it by linking the sentimentality of holidays and joyous occasions with the pitch to use longdistance calls. The Knack steals the familiar Beatles' images, the retrospective essence of power pop and the raunchy, women-hating lyrics of Cock Rock and combines them with vaguely original rhythms and melodies designed to grab your attention, no matter what your heart tells you to do. This album is an invasion of privacy, like the evangelist on the sidewalk with a microphone and a speaker, it compels the passer-by to listen. The evangelist plays off your guilt to get you to believe; The Knack plays off your rock 'n roll memory to get $>u to buy. People resent parlays of guilt because it’s such an easy way to get to a difficult place in the heart. Some resent The Knack for precisely the , settle, but it boils down to this: how far will the record industry go in making the message of the music identical to the pitch to buy it? How close can the music corporations come to creating a product that is its own salesman? i The Knack’s brief but money-bloated history raises the issue in several ways, the most immediate being the album’s title: Get the Knack. The tactic is brilliant and simple, each time the deejay says the title, he actively advertises the band, for free. The more times The Knack is repeated, by the radio announcers, music critics, and record buyers themselves, the more people get the message. Name recognition, advertising’s most basic ploy, is built into the concept of The Knack. There is no need to sell the name, because the name sells itself. Think of the word The Knack, what else would you want to do but get it? And that, students of corporate chart-climbing, is only lesson number one. Capitalizing If the album’s built-in hucksterism ended with the title, The Knack would not be an issue, because the KnaCk would not be Number One. There are other tactics responsible for the group's remarkable success. None of them have anything to do with making good rock 'n roll, but here’s a clue; The more they seem to, the more they Knack’s fcnt. The more genuine the music and image appears, the more cold calculation must have gone into it. The times when the album sounds the most legitimate are the times that the an sale is at its highest pitch. This utterly masterful product, designed’ to sell from start to finish, every record executive’s fantasy pressed into saleable vinyl, the erasure of the tepsion between artists and salesman, the marriage of creative and manipulative talent. All of which is why The Knack could force the decade's most brutal bidding war among record companies before ever releasing a disc. And why Capitol records, the winner, pressed uie album with its most famous label, the rainbow color scheme used for the Beatles' American releases. And why the band is all smiles on the back cover, not even a trace of shame, as they steal from the image of the Fab Four; moptops, white shirts, skinny black ties and that name again, The same reason. Hey, hey we’re The Knack Surely all popular music plays around with what is already popular. —continued on page IS— a Mn Pizza HOllWAPIT.TPWS f»r a.

These four new releases demonstrate once again the variety and quality available on this label. Hickory Wind, a quintet from Washington, D.C. by way of Morgantown, West Virginia, serves up a pot-pourri of styles in a convincing manner on their second album for Flying Fish. "Morrison’s Jig” treads on turf occupied by Ireland’s Chieftains with Bob Shank’s hammered dulcimer tones chased by the bodhran and bones of drummer Hank Pittman. Traditional English folk tones a la Convention are supplied via the doubled fiddles of Sam Morgan on “Da Wottle O't” and Mark Walbridge’s Dave Swarbrick-like warblings on The Weary Cutters ...” The presence of ex-Conventioneer drummer Dave Mattacks on several .cuts makes it all legal. - Singer-songwriter Kate Wolf has delivered an all-natural, no-artificial-ingredients folk album, recorded in a living room in the wilds of northern California, with just a bevy of friends and fellow musicians to watch over the self-produced project. This highly-personalized, almost introspective approach has wielded its influence on the lyrical content as well. At times these mind games generate lines as cogent as the chorus of "I Never Knew My Father," in which she explains her existence as a psychological orphan: / Never knew my father, I only knew his name I never knew the way he moved How he talked, or what he said Now I'm grown and mama says "You're like your daddy just the same." She comes close to becoming inaccessible with the self-indulgent lines of "The Heart , Friends who come to feed the heart Flawless recording But these lads aren’t drowning in potatoes in stout ale; "Life of the/Party” is a hilarious skiffle jazz piece compleW with horns and whistles as well as Mattacks' deft rim rolls that would serve as a perfect soundtrack for a Keystone Cops caper. Bluegrass is well represented by the inclusion of the New Lost City Ramblers’ "Fly Around My Pretty Little Miss’’ and the traditional fiddle tune "Cricket On the Hearth.” The original compositions by multiinstrumentalist Sam Morgan ("Valentine Lynn” and "Sycamore Song") show the band in a more contemporary but no less effective setting with Morgan’s Kenny Loggins-like vocals telling the tales. In producing this near-flawless record Hickory Wind has demonstrated electic without being consumed by the "directionless gumbo” that plagues similar endeavors. On No Minors Allowed Ron Messing has attempted to bridge musical genres by applying his bluegrass-derived dobro sounds to Latin, pop and jazz material. The results are at times rewarding as in the mariachi treatment of "Spanish Penthouse," a plaintive ballad dripping with south-of-the-border sentiment or the spirited vocalisms of “When the Saints Go Marching In," spearheaded by veteran bluegrass vocalist, Red Allen. Too often the results are laughable as in "Malaguena Hey Jude" where Ron s dobro sounds strangely similar to the talking guitar of Aldo Rey (remember the King Family) or "Bridge Over Troubled Water" that is belter suited to its earlier Simonized shine.

Three bedrooms, absolutely free —continued on page 18— �f I by Eileen Lee At first there stood an audience of individuals. In numbers it was nearly 5,000 grads, undergrads, dorm students, commuters, new wavers, rock and roller, jazz patrons, blues fans, etc. who waited each with their own separate preferences, expectations and judgments. (Hardly the ftasiest audience to please.) The scope of contrasts was widened further as Harriman library stood like an anacronism in the background of the massive stage and lighting setup. And yet it was these many variable but coexisting differences which colored the atmosphere and in a sense created the "event." The event was an energetic, landmark appearance by Southside Johnny and the Asbury Jukes. Following the alternate bad and good performances by the Tourists and Bellvista, the 11-man main attraction took the stage. And in a fashion of non-nonsense sincerity that wouldn't deflate the party atmosphere. One couldn’t help wondering what sort of sounds a band of this nature and size would emit in the outdoor setting of what later turned out to be a highly organized Fallfest. On the one end was the five-man brass ensemble, on the other was the keyboard player and rhythm guitarist who looked like he had taken lessons from Keith Richard. And in contrast to all of this stood the lead guitarist and "Southside” wearing the shoestring-width ties typical “new wave” performers. Southside’s music; has always provided some great strains of danceable rock 'n roll. It looked like they were going to provide "something for everyone," a cliche as old as the endeavor itself, but their intention was of a newer philosophy: unite the various musical styles and unite the equally diverse audience. What therefore proceeded was a fantastic combination of inodes and mannerisms of music performed with an attitude of “everything for everyone." The group maintained a high level of enthusiasm and energy which was greatly reflected by the large, captive and UNIFIED audience. Very brassy ' — -■ •— The Jukes started out on a jazzv tone but fell quickly into a heavy funk tune "Waitin' On die Old Reply” with the bass and guitar creating the spotlight moments of the song. In fact, it was a relief to discover that the Jukes were more than just a back-up for Johnny Lyons; no section playing back seat to another (a key point in understanding the success of 11 different musicians working together). This became evident in the kicky blues number "Got To Get You Off My Mind," where the bari-sax player, trumpeter, and lead guitarist took their turns up front to solo, not to mention the trombone and sax players who got their moments later on. The kaleidoscope of stylistic variety spun on as "Southside” did an Elvis Costello sound-alike on "Talk to Me,” complete with Costello antics satisfying new wavers and reactionaries as well. His relentless energy never died but only mellowed when he performed some slower tunes, teasing and pleasing the crowd with a "Springsteen” quality to his voice. Actually the stylistic similarity wasn’t so _ amazing when considering the group's former al r with the man. Day into night As the evening was winding down, the darkness took a backseat to the energy the Jukes were sustaining; few noticed the artificial light rays replacing the natural ones. The band cooked to climax by first slipping into some menacing, slinky blues with “WoVe Got to Stop" and “Take it Inside." The lead guitar, bass, brass and vocals were all executed in a slitheringly fine way. Any blues fan would have been delighted. But the very thing that made the Jukes work, and the whole Fallfest for that matter, is that even a non-blues fan would have been as equally pleased. As was expected, the finale "We're Having a Party” followed by "Livin' in the USA,” captured a perfect summation of the occasion that was peaked with audience enthusiasm. Three generous encores finished off the "party" and made the Jukes’ mark indelible on astute listeners. Because it really was amazing and commendable thing that the Jukes, and UUAB, did—that is bringing people together. The group doesn't have a label because they are not under the restraints of performing one style of music. "SJ and tl)e Jukes” are a multitude of styles in a unified band, and they seem to view their audiences in this perspective. Actually what the band creates is a mirror principle—the performers reflecting the audience, the audience reflecting the performers, and the image of each imparting its reflection on the other becoming unmistakably richer as the images fade.

The floor was litterpd with discarded cups and napkins—the organizers seem to have forgotten to place garbage cans. Downstairs the Disco Diner served meals with names like Record Album and Disco Platter—and they weren't munchies made of vinyl; either. Business slacked off at the Pantastik booth set up to sell disco clothes to those who felt suddenly crushed after seeing all finery others were sporting. The lines for freebies like the exclusive disco t-shirts had not diminished. The people, after dancing in these indoor streets, were hungry for something more than the unique communal experience of being together.

She sdng, or rather, she acted out "I Will Survive." ■ Third generation This was third generation disco music. We've been through the period when disco was a black, latin and gay phenomena, and later when it had been straited by line dances and the rigidity of expression that typified disco—the disco that over 70,000 people showed their distain for in a riot at Chicago baseball field months ago. This was the democratization of disco, its declaration of independence. In essence, what the disco sought to deal with was plainly addressed here: the issue of survival. "When someone tells you, you can’t reach our aspirations, I'Want you to remember Gloria Gaynor, who started out as a cashier, and look where she is now,” she said to an audience nearly half black and half white, and about 60 percent women, 39 percent male and less than one percent indeterminate. After numerous false endings to her anthem, she posed the question squarely: "And in 1980 will you survive?” Three times the answer boomed back, "Yes," every time louder than the time before. She finished her song with .the blare of a horn and a cake was presented to here on stage amidst jubilations from Glenn Arnette the III. They had indeed reached their goql. The announcemeht was practically anticlimatic. The crowd filed out immediately afterwards, even though there was to be music until 5 a.m. To stay would have been a waste. They had seen the heart of the music lifestyle they desired, exposed as plainly as an open heart surgeon would view a human’s physical lifeblood. Through the 20-minute-long conga lines, briefly revived line dances, the simultaneously voracious but also sharing nature of the group, it was clear; disco is healthy—it will survive.

But what’s especially dangerous about The Knack is the intent of producer Chapman. He’s not out to make a hit with rock ’n roll; he’s out to make rock 'n roll into a hit. Not only does the sale come before the song, the sale is the song. No other music comes this close to advertising in Us insidious appeal. "Hey, hey we’re the Monkees” was at least an honest ploy, The Knack's next album is likely to feature a message akin to "Get the Knack” written into the music Uself. Let’s hope we can at least recognize it. Needless to say, The Knack have nothing to say. The originality can't be in the music since the music deliberately takes familiar impulses and associates them with The Knack's builtin message to buy. Along the way, some fairly offensive stuff goes down. "Good Girls Don't” may be the first —continued from page 13. . . song ever, intentionally written for the fist, yes, music to masturbate by—a sure hit in that sense. “She’s So Selfish” is Cock Rock at its exploitative worst, taking sexual frustrations and convincing the listener they’re as good a reason as any to hate women who don’t happen to’be Hot Children in the City. Hook, line and And of course there’s "My Sharonna.” Chapman, who is certainly brilliant in his own way, has taken the natural rhythm of the word "Sharonna” and created a sharp drumbeat that matches that rhythm exactly. Thus, it becomes hard for the listener to even say the title without sounding the song's rhythm, which is simpje reinforcement of an existing impulse. (Try it yourself.) Over and over that beat gets reinforced in the listner’s head, where it alreat existed . . Folkways —continued from . . *9 for men *11 for women - content. "The Lilac and the Apple,” an unaccompanied vocal, parlays this formula to success whereas "Midnight on the Water," the traditional fiddle tune previously sans lyrics, advertises Kate’s vocal limitations. One listen to David Bromberg’s version of the song from the album of the same name provides proof that three fiddles handle those swooping intervals more convincingly. Kate Wolf, however, deserves to be heard, if only because her organic approach seems a bit anachronistic in these days of untamed synthesizers and production galore. The Super Pickers is an all-Star Band composed of Nashville’s busiest session musicians, Charlie McCoy, Hargus Robbins, - page have given rock all it ever was supposed to be, something to believe in. To really know for sure that rock 'roll will never die, you must be able to imagine what would kill it. Get The Knack and start dreaming. 14— . Kate’s voice is not the crystalline instrument of a Joni Mitchell but rather the combination of a Buffy St. Marie vibrato with a Judy Collins’ near-missmethod of note selection, evoking a pathos that is a perfect match for the lyrical EST PRICES IN TOWN that place is irrelevant, for it is only your trip to the shopping center that matters. And nothing else. The Knack must finally be a political issue. Their wretchedly uncreative music would never have come through a radio without the shameless greed of the record industry, which fought like starving dogs for die rights to taunt rock ’n roll with the music of The Knack. It is no surprise that an antiKnack movement has already come to life, or that many rock critics have ripped apart the group in print. The issue is who will create the musical impulse of rock n roll, the same people who invaded my living room for thirty seconds to grab me and shake their command to buy into my head, or the musicians, the people who before Chapman seized and exploited it. Nearly everyone agrees that "My Sharonna” has a phenomenal hook; 1 would say that it’s the most powerfully manipulative song of the seventies. The more I hated it—and I hated it with passion—the more it commandeered my attention. The album is passionless, visionless, gutless and heartless. It laughs at rock 'n roll and sneers at its audience; its conteu., s w! an expression of frustration or rejection but merely the residue of a fierce love for the dollar. The hard sell takes a hard heart. Only then can pure greed dominate the creative impulse. What’s most frightening is not that this is Mike Chapman;s talent, but that this is his dream— a record so relentless in its demand to listen that it becomes a hit through brute, subconscious force. To Chapman, the advertising industry and the record industry are looking for the identical place in your head.

Philippe Halsman Gallery shows photographer's work by Ralph Allen A retrospective exhibit of the work of Philippe Halsman, the only photographer to shoot 100 Life covers, is at Benjamin Galerie at 427 Elmwood Avenue until October. The late Halsmah, voted one of the ten top photographers by Popular Photography in 1958, left behind works that have moved people to agree that when our children look at photographs of prominent personalities, it will be a Halsman portrait they will be looking at. Already the Halsman portrait of Albert Einstein in a sweatshirt has become an icon, appearing as the basis for the Einstein stamp. /The show of about 130 photographs documents other celebs like Sammy Davis Jr., Marilyn Monroe and several presidents. Former PresidentLyndon Johnson once asked Halsman for the negative of his portrait, took it, didn’t pay for it, and used it for thousands of items with his likeness on it. Halsman's most ingenious collaboration is found in a series he produced with the surrealist artist, Salvador Dali. The series, entitled, "Dali’s Moustache” shows Halsman's openness to the bizarre. For a man whose photographs are used to illustrate history books because of their forthrightness, he also had an obcession with the distorted; the psychological portrait. One of his Dali collaborations, "Atomicus,” show* Dali, his paintings, his cats and water all suspended within the frame. He felt that this would convey the nether world Dali staked as his aesthetic hunting grounds better than any straight photograph might. ' Silver magic According to Halsman, when he broached Dali with the idea Akwesasne " 'Armed confrontation in New York State? of the photograph, he was greeted enthusiastically, In fact, Dali wanted to use milk as the suspended liquid. Halsman, well aware of World War 11 raging at the time, felt that such an extravagant use of food—needed by children in warravaged countries—would be resented. This down-toearthness tempered even his wildest photographs. Another photographic innovation credited to Halsman was having his subjects jumping in their portraits. He felt that at the moment of a leap all the stiffness characterizing posed individuals parted like a curtain. (He even got former President Richard Nixon to jump.) Halsman, to borrow a term from another prominent photographer, was a "complete photographer." He spoke six languages, and was the only photographer reputed to give a sermon using photography for its base. His show is a rare opportunity to see the magic between a photograph rendered in silver as opposed to ink. When a photographer, like Ansel Adams, makes the cover of Time magazine and his famous print “Moonrise" earns $12,000 at an auction, it is a clear sign that photography has made it as an art. The Halsman show has that art down pat. Though a print costs hundreds qf dollars (a price that undercuts the current market for Hainan originals, incidentally) admission to the gallery is free. It is open 10 a.m.—6 p.m. Monday—Saturday and 1 p.m—5 p.m. Sunday. r—"-C— Native Americans are resisting, once again, U.S. government invasion of their lands - 1.

Though its standardized tests were taken by over 8 million consumers and required for admission at most college and graduate schools in the country ETS "/ have never—never—received so much had successfully pulled a cloack of secrecy over their operations, and keep them secret despite the demands of mail on an educational bill, said one SUNY consumer, parent, teacher and student groups for more fees or a decrease in services. So the test companies turned to their last threat: withdrawing the testing services they were created to provide. Months before the first tests were scheduled to be given under the new law, the Association of American Medical Colleges and the American Dental Association announced on July 17 that they were pulling their tests out of New York even though those tests are required for admission to virtually every med school in the country. New York legislators are now investigating this blatant attempt to force the state to back off the law. That was until this summer. In July, while the students it affected were at work or the beach or catching up with summer courses, New York Governor Hugh Carey signed into law the nation’s first strong “Truth-in-Testing” bill. The bill requires ETS to make public internal studies on the tests’ validity that they have steadfastly kept secret; tell students how their scores will be reported to schools and what they are supposed to measure; and make the questions and correct answers available to students who request them. The testers couldn’t punish a single state for demanding some accountability if all the states under federal law were demanding accountability. As Congressman Ted Weiss of New York City said recently, the testers could not pull opt of the entire country: they would have to choose between compliance and going out Special to The Spectrum - - - from’much - - ,, accountability. Tremendous pressure Clearly the bill only offers a reasonable modicum of scrutiny of this vast and powerful private corporation. But ETS fought it tooth and nail all the way. Last fall, they succeeded in watering down a “Truth-in-Testing” bill passed in California until it was virtually meaningless. They completely blocked another bill proposed in Maryland this spring. In New York, they launched their most vigorous campaign to date. College presidents and high school principals were buried under waves of telegrams, mailings - University President. ‘There's been a tremendous pressure applied here said an associate of CUNY Chancellor Robert Kibbee. “They came on like General Federal statute Motors, added one Albany lobbyist of business. * ” Kibbee. “They came on like General Motors,” added one Albany lobbyist. \ Last threat Along with Representatives Shirley Chisholm of New York and George Miller of California, Weiss has introduced a national testing bill, HR. 4949.

Though the company poured thousands of dollars into the campaign, it was to no avail. A coalition of parent, teacher, student, labor and minority groups led by the n. u,i o New vr York Public Interest Research Group (NYPIRG) successfully convinced the Legislature of the merits of the bill.

After Tuesday’s Senate meeting, Carver told The Spectrum that his plans to Ipcajle groups of faculty who he believes should report directly to the outside team are unaltered, by the Senate’s action. Based on discussions to be held with faculty and senators, Garver said he hopes to identify those groups which represent the views of various faculty and arrange for them to meet with the three-president team. “There are some points of view that I can represent better than others,” said Garver, “because they are my own.” He explained that he would try to give priority to the others. The other resolutions passed called for the Senate’s Executive Committee to advise the Chancellor and the Trustees “of their extreme concern at the severe limitations placed , by the new guidelines on th<? ; sensing of faculty opinion •” The Senate urged that, should a search be undertaken for a new president, “the search committee be constituted with a predominant faculty representation and that the faculty members on the search committee participate in the interviews with the preferred candidates.” < ZMS QKSSJWeJCV SZKSSZ KSSZAUKWZ 25 Greenfield Street 836 9035 Buffalo So ,e9 et a n c po 100PlOof Imparted LlQUCUT made with Blended Canadian Whisky Yukon Jack.

Deer populations upped for hunters' pleasure? by Marc Sherman Environmental Editor State wildlife agencies are artifically increasing deer populations to ensure a plentiful supply for hunters, charged Toby Dooper of Defenders of Wildlife. Cooper’s organization is concerned that government funds for wilderness management are not being used wildlife and comprehensively. “We approve of hunting if it’s beneficial for the species, but most of the wildlife funds are used to manipulate deer habitat,” Cooper told The Spectrum. He expressed concern that “non-game species are being ignored," meaning all the animals and plants composing an ecological community are overshadowed by the deer, elk, bear, and government’s efforts to preserve game species - quail. State and Federal wildlife agencies arc responsible for studying and managing fish and wildlife. Funding for some wildlife programs is obtained from hunting license fees and excise taxes on gun sales. $146 million is allocated annually to wildlife, most of it for “deer enhancement” programs, such as brush clearing, timber cutting, and controlled burning. Deer arc “browsers;” they eat the tender tips of trees and brushy plants Continual cutting and clearing of woody vegetation ensures that new plant growth will be within the deer’s reach and serves to ultimately increase deer populations Supporters of these programs contend that hunting authorized through wildlife agencies is necessary for stabilizing population levels. Doug Pifer of the National Rifle Association told The Spectrum, “1 don’t think any state can intentionally cause the overpopulation of deer. Besides, it would be self-defeating and since disease and starvation would result. Hunting is the best way to control the deer population.” Although Cooper acknowledged that, hunting is effective in controlling population size, he noted that, “in a strange way, it’s true that hunting is necessary to prevent extinction, but only because the deer herd is purposely overpopulated for the benefit of hunters, not the deer.” The white-tailed deer is found in alrpost every state, and its numbers have increased to 16 million since colonial days. Settlers cleared forests and eradicated the deer’s natural predators, the cougar and timber wolf. Crops and orchards can sustain a deer in the winter when natural vegetation is limited. The Deer has proven itself to be very adaptable to man’s settlement of the country. Most hunting is done in the Fall during breeding season. The bucks (males) are at their optimal weight and have their full-grown antlers. Each hunter is allowed one buck, but only about one in six hunters will ' be successful. Deer in New York State are managed by the State Department of Environmental Conservation (DBG). DEC wildlife biologist Stephen Clarke told The Spectrum “Our management objective is to sustain the deer population in accordance with human land use.” Clarke explained that deer have been managed by a permit quota system since 1960. The state is divided into geographic deer management units, each with a specific carrying capacity index. The index indicates the number of bucks per square mile that can be taken. If the deer population is high and is damaging farmland, the index is raised by DEC. The index is lowered if deer levels are too low. According to Clarke. “The program has been very successful. Clarke noted that in addition to deer stability and recreational value, hunting has had a positive impact on New York’s economy. Ironically, the money spent on licenses provides $5 million for the Conservation Fund and is used to study and manage fish and wildlife. Also the meat value and hunting expenditures (equipment, lodging, transporation) “could easily exceed $100 million a year,” according to Clarke. Hunters are often judged by what is perceived to be their primary but rnany motive sport. Some object to hunting deer for survival, view hunting for sport as cruel and unethical. According to one stu y, average there are 20 million licensed hunters in the U.S., with an most that conclude studies Many $15,000. household income of hunters hunt for recreation rather than subsistence. — ANOTHER Rooties Flesh Party This Saturday, Sept. 15th 9:00 pm 3:00 am - GIRLS DRINK FREE Guys $7.00 for drink S drown Meat over 100 girls this is your chance to come and get AHEAD you can't find it tohite, you better check your shorts.

Unlike May 6, when UB sent off busloads of students to protest, the September 23 Rally will not show visible signs of Buffalo campus or community support. Local anti-nuclear activists are presently gearing up for a rally at nearby West Valley, scheduled for a week later, on September 29. Once the site of Nuclear Fuel Services (NFS) a reprocessing plant shut down in 1972 for low profits but which still houses both low and high level radioactive wastes in its contaminated buildings West Valley is in of turned into a danger being permenent repository for wastes. The cost of cleaning up the facility is estimated at over $1 billion. Designated an international day of protest by the anti-nuclear movement against the reprocessing or “black end” of the fuel process, the September 29 rally will support the limitation of radioactive waste transport through Buffalo. Because the rallies are only six days apart, local anti-nuclear groups are concerned that attention will be diverted fm West Valley by the large scale New York rally. Consequently, they are spending their time and energy to ensure the local awareness of and support tor wnat considered the ’’more immediate event.” - is — Rallied out UB NYP1RG Project Coordinator Frank Butterini explained that “There are so many rallies going on all the time now, nationwide, that if we want to go full steam ahead, a lot of us would just be exhausted. We’d be rallied out.” >- pressing rof Hampshire. Ross is excited about the setting of the September 23 Rally, with its million Square feet of sand and twin glass towers of the World Trade Center vying with the pale green but still regal Statue of Liberty. He said, “I don’t think it will be easy to duplicate May 6,” adding that the Capitol Building just cannot be topped for a sense of history. It is the contention of those activists here in Buffalo that “there is a place for rallies of this sort,” where people are alerted to a general question. The overwhelming success of May 6 saw to that. With swaying speeches anticipated once again from the likes of Ralph Nader and Jane Fonda, the performances of MUSE members Graham Nash and Bonnie Raitt, and the mass gathering of concerned individuals, the September 23 Rally is almost guranteed to be, according to Butterini, “a blow out in the positive sense.” But with the threat of radioactive wastes permenently buried right in Buffalo’s back yard, he pointed out what may be the real significance of the successor to the May 6 March on Washington, “There is Jftneed for these large rallies to alert masses of people so that they can then take the awareness back to the community/’ / Both Butterini and Lawrence Farber, local organizer for the Sierra Club’s Radioactive Wastes campaign, agree on the validity of the New York rally but are quick to stress the special significance of the other. “Obviously any anti-nuke rally is revevant everywhere, but in the Buffalo area there is an emphasis on the 29th because of a feeling that the 29th is much too far away,” noted Farber. “Whereas the New York rally will inform people of the general problem of nuclear power, the West Valley rally poses a local problem. This is on the community level and what grassroots support is all about,” said Butterini. He added that the West Valley problem is already “a validated danger.” Both Donald Ross and the West Valley organizers recognized the inherent conflict for anti-nuke advocates who have limited time and money to divide between the two rallies.

These political considerations are buttressed by several studies, including one by the Defense Department itself, which question the need for registration.

Opening the 1979 season at Rotary Field, the Bulls were squeezed out netminder. The tally brought a rush of enthusiasm to the bench, and the Bulls continued to keep constant turned Niagara’s drives away and stopped them inches from scoring, using a goal-line stance. Goalie Mark Celeste, who played most of the game, was responsible for a majority of the spectacular plays, but the UB backfield helped Ity applying constant pressure. UB scoring was hampered by poor communication and not enough teamwork. Co-Captains Luis Azcue and Ed Sorkin are concerned about the breakdown, but feel it is not a permanent condition. “We have to play together more, so-far we haven’t played enough as a team,” noted senior forward Azcue. The lone UB goal, coming late in the second half, was slammed home by Sophomore Steve Cate, when he snuck the ball by the Niagara Improved Coach Salvatore Esposito was generally pleased with the team’s performance, reminding the players in his post-game talk that last year UB lost to the Niagara team 5-0. The improved defense held the game close, but as Senior defenseman Sorkin remarked, “We just haven’t worked together long enough yet.” The scattered home crowd of 75 students in search of the sun swelled briefly as the UB football team made a rare, brief, cheerleading appearance. But, as the pattern of the game progressed, it was clear even shoulder pads and helmets couldn’t spark Buffalo. The soccer Bulls play again Saturday at 1 p.m. against Daemen. College at Field.

Parker Editor-in-Chief enough “scholarly” background to be eligible for Thus, when recommendations were forwarded to Vice President for Academic Affairs Ronald F. Bunn’s office, he opted to re-open applications. The second search committee slashed a list of over 70 applications and recommended two candidates to Bunn. Wilma Scott Heide, former President of the National Organization for Women (NOW), and William Romey, Chairman of the Geology Department at St. Lawrence University were both rejected by the Vice President. Bunn explained that the candidates were not acceptable based on the three primary criteria: 1) their ability to work within the Collegiate system effectively; 2) their ability to relate the work of the Colleges more effectively to regular academic units and 3) their ability to secure a tenured professorial rank as required in the Colleges’ charter. Bunn pointed out that neither candidate met all three qualifications, “although they both met some.” He said, “I can only speculate that the three qualifications made it difficult. We were looking for trained academics, but also people interested in an unconventional system. That quickly reduces the number of potential people.” tenure. Three searches and two years after former Dean of the Colleges Irving J. Spitzberg announced his resignation, the Collegs have located the one person they have been looking for a new Dean. University President Robert L. Ketter appointed English professor Murray Schwartz to the Colleges’ deanship last week. The Colleges, founded in the late 1960’s, are desigend for cross-disciplinary study in an alternative academic and residential setting. Many believe that the Colleges’ continual fight to play more of an integral role in the academic mainstream will be a critical test of the Colleges and their new leader. — Since their inception, some Colleges have grown while others have been abolished. College courses have been subject to academic critism from various University secotrs, although an outside review committee in 1977 cast the Colleges in a favorable light, and was spefically impressed with their academic diversity. Schwartz, who was one of several candidates recommended to fill the post, is the product of a third search commiteee a search limited to within the University. The previous two failed to located a candidate suitable although doezens of from across the country. were received applications The first search committee ran into roadblocks when many of the selected applicants did not have — — —Michelle Sellers Money, not merit Bunn’s assistant, and Acting Dean of the Colleges, Claude E.

The SUNY policy, Snyder said, stipulates that charges for the upcoming semester must be paid prior to registration. However, UB’s system does not attempt to collect until registration is completed. “In that respect, he said, “We divert Trom the standard SUNY procedure. Our students are expected to pay within the semester, however. not - The absence of a computerized system to effectively handle student accounts at this University has beeh blamed for $4.2 million in outstanding tuition and fees. In an audit released this Summer by the State Department of Audit and Control, the $4.2 million figure was revealed. This survey of UB operations covered the period from July 1, 1975 to December 31, 1977. Auditors noted in their report a 53-page document with attachments dwelling on various aspects of the that students were allowed to University * - — But University officials blamed computers rather than policy for the unpaid bills. “The cause is the absence of a computerized system which could handle the operation in a more suitable fashion," Snyder said. for additional classes or even graduate while debts were outstanding. According to Leonard F. Snyder, Assistant Vice President for Housing and Auxiliary Enterprises here,.UB’s policy does permit students to register for courses before the register - Computer’s fault “The system with the absence of collection prior to registration,” he added, “has been operative for a number of years and gone through at least two audits.” University Chief Accountant Stanley E. Templeton said students are billed sometime in October arid expected to pay within three, weeks. He added that a student with a debt outstanding from a previous semester could even enter the Admissions and Records data bank for registration and choose courses, but they would be cancelled if the debt was not met soon afterwards. But University officials blamed computers rather than policy for the unpaid bills. “The cause is the absence of a computerized system which could handle Inside: Is school really so bad?—P. 7 / the operation in a more suitable fashion,” Snyder said. He explained that the University is working on a system to mesh student accounts receivable with billing. An additional development to aid accounting will be a computer tie-in with financial aid records. Bills issued to students will reflect all aid figured in to the final total. Templeton said that the new system would allow for more frequent billing and follow-up procedures. “It will make things easier and more accurate,” he maintained. But the near-panacea is yet a hope, as next September is projected as an optimistic start and full implementation looms at a 24-month distance. v Dropouts Although, according to Templeton, the which include tuition, total receivables fees and room rentals can’t be broken students, individual down into it is documented that some portion of the debt is attributable to third parties such as assistance award programs. A test conducted for the audit showed that, percentage-wise, not a great majority of those owing the University received degrees. The bulk of indebtedness, according to Templeton, was incurred by students who registered and dropped out early in the semester. “They figure they In consideration of coal—?. 11 — — / University officials cited a "multitude of reasons, many attaching to the size and complexity of the institution. as dictating the solution only through major computer program development and support. ” don’t have to pay because they didn’t stay in school,” he said. “They’re wrong.” and Indebtedness prior to Fall 1975 attributed to those now out of the system was $1,000,893. Templeton explained that because of the influx of payment throughout semesters, the figures continually vary. In Spring, toward the end of the term, bills are whittled down and June 30 of any year shows the lowest figure for debts. — — In March of 1979, he said, figures showed 38,000 total accounts compared to 1978’s 36,000. But, he explained there is less money owed for 1979. “Tuition increases, however, may play with figures,” he added. “Hopefully there would be the same number of people owing, but they will each owe more.” Mightier Than The Sword— P. 13 —continued / on page lO- Fascination—P. 1 7 �f Right to Life a j Anti-abortionist contemplates second run for Presidency by Natalia Dmytrijuk Spectrum Staff Writer' In her white, knee-length skirt and pink, polka-dotted blouse, she handsomely portrayed the stereotypic image of a suburban housewife. Some might expect to see her doing volunteer work for the local March of Dimes chapter and playing bridge every other afternoon. This strong willed woman, however, having taken a vehement stance opposing abortion, has kept politicians squirming since the last presidential election. She is Ellen McCormick, a Right-to-Life activist who is considering a second run for the Presidency of the United States. Should she run, McCormick will conduct a “conscious-raising” campaign, educating the public about abortion. She believes “the majority of the country is not in favor of abortion” and that more disclaimer would be raised “if the public "The Press has not been fair to the pro-life issue or the people who advocate it.. . and have tried r o silence us." "Maybe pro-life legislators need starch in their spines ..." knew that a baby can be aborted right up to the day of delivery.” Such is the perspective of the New York State Right to Life party formed in 1970 to give voters a chance to vote for a pro-life candidate. To remain a legal party for four years, the pro-life ticket required a total of gubernatorial 50.000 votes in the election. They received an overwhelming 130.000 votes which Ellen McCormick termed proof of a substantial backing for the Right to Life cause. — Slim possibility The goal of the Right-to-Life party is to pass the Human Rights Amendment which would accord a fetus the status and full legal rights currently recognized only at birth. However, with only five pro-life legislators in Congress, the current possibility of such an amendment being passed seems slim. Says-Ellen McCormick, “Maybe pro-life legislators need starch in their spines “The system is stymied with politicians whcr aren’t concerned with the issues, and if they are, it’s only long enough to get themselves re-elected.” She shook her head, scorning image selling politicians such as Jimmy Carter who sold himself as a spiritual man, but, like other politicians, is a pro at avoiding issues.” However, likely presidential candidate Ted Kennedy has escaped McCormick’s cynicism. McCormick, tentatively supported his candidacy, but maintained that people in public life are constantly subject to death threats. “As a candidate, I haven’t been concerned with my life but a Kennedy might have a little more reason to fear. Assassination attempts pose a realistic threat.” McCormick blasted “wandering" politicians who allocate funds for trips to foreign countries at a time when sorely needed hospitals are being closed. “If the pragmatic politicians can’t solve the problem of abortion, how can they be expected to solve any other issue,” she said. Although a platform based solely on one issue is politically confining, McCormick feels that the right to life campaign is of enough contemporary significance to stand alone. She has most recently asserted that New York State should never have legalized abortion without parental consent. She cited the case of a twelve-year-old Buffalo girl who told her parents she was at a slumber party while she was actually undergoing an abortion at a local hospital. During the procedure, a serious medical complication arose, threatening the child’s life. Since the hospital needed the consent'of the parents to take any action, the doctors were forced to call the parents and break the news. “The entire situation could have been avoided had the parents originally been aware of the abortion. That girl might have died on the operating table waiting for the go ahead.” McCormick attacked doctors who perform abortions without considering the circumstances involved. She cited that a doctor conducting abortions can make as much as $1200 in one hour while only receiving about $500 to maintain a woman through an entire pregnancy. “Physicians are in it for the money,” she claimed. Ellen McCormick l*as;y$t |o declare her candidacy for the 1980 presidential elections but is already wary of the biased press coverage she received irv her 1976 campaign. “The press has not been fair to the pro-life issue or the people who advocate it. They have edited us, censured us and tried to silence us.” —Garry Prenela "If the pragmatic politicians can't solve the problem of abortion, how can they be t xpected to solve any other issue?"

Near believes there is a hunger for music that speaks to “people’s lives in a way different from what you hear on AM radio.” Spectrum Staff Writer Although some would call her a “star,” Holly Near calls herself a “cultural worker” tuning her performance to the needs of woman and her audience. Near is a singer, songwriter who grew up performing in a - northern California community. After films, television and Broadway, she joined the Free the Army (FTA) show in 1971, traveling with 'Jane Fonda to entertain GI’s and servicewomen who were against the Vietnam War and racism. Returning from that tour, Holly began work with the Indochina Peace Campaign where she continued to use her music to make statements on issues of global political focus. “A lot of women come to political struggle through their personally recognizing oppression as women,” said Near, “whereas my politics started to be developed in a global way, and with that came the struggle of women.” As Holly’s identification with the women’s movement intensified, she reevaluated her “When repertoire. someone pointed out that all my songs about women were about women in relation to men,” expressed Holly, “1 began writing more Musical protest One of her prime concerns right now is working towards a nuclear free future. “My parents raised us to ask a lot of questions,” said Holly. “I remember them being very concerned about the effects of the bomb dropped on Hiroschima and Nagasaki.” Traveling with the FTA show in Japan, Near had the opportunity to see first hand the effects on the body and the environment from the radiation. Rather than call herself a folksinger or a star, Holly prefers to describe herself as a cultural worker as she carefully cultivates a non-star image, resisting that position of privilege she feels many performers exploit, audience walks out feeling “smaller” than the performer.

She has women recorded four albums herselfi. It appears that respect is growing for women musicians.

Although appreciative of the $300 increment, Commuter Council Coordinator Julie Mellen commented, “We haven’t had enough money to do really extravagant things we can come up with innovative and constructive ideas, but money is a limiting factor. “There are various other groups on campus that are not as universal in nature, but that receive more money. Perhaps the funding should be more in proportion to the percent of commuters here,” added Mellen. Despite monetary drawbacks, the Commuter Council has become “more and more effective in designing and executing programs over the past two years” according to Director of Orientation and Commuter Student Affairs Joseph Krakow kk. “The problem of the alienated commuter population is not one limited to UB students. The commuter population is always one that displays less affiliation; it takes more to get their attention,” said Krakowiak. - i HI The H hair shack; Lr/ r*y !/V I Staff Writer increase An support ’Uv‘ i ** , by Ourriya Safiuddin Spectrum 3fe*' '*?• : 642 COLVIN AVENUE (Juot South ofKommto Aw.)

But, he claims, TV fiction does more than merely reflect trends in thereal world; by focusing on what is unique in reality, such as classroom rapes and riots, TV generaltes those events into universal trends which become a part of the popular mythology. Such a process may be partly responsible for the present loss of faith in the value of■: education, says Viviano. by Frank Viviano Special to The Spectrum / v reserves room for innocence in Happy violence as the characteristic classroom Days, the “sweat hogs” of teacher Gabe Kotter are anything but innocent.

The latest addition to television’s 25-year history of school programs is White Shadow, a dramatic series highly regarded among educators for its sympathetic portrayal of a white basketball coach in a predominantly Black and Chicano Los Angeles high school. Although its concerns run the gamut from teenage pregnancy and drug use to the problems of the handicapped, most White Shadow plots turn on racial hostility. Coach Ken Reeves is himself a veteran riot. of reserse bias, a former basketball player In a society which once placed its main who made his name in sports on an all-Black Race hope for the future in education, the otherwise popular conception of schools today has consciousness is what the series is all about. deteriorated into a violent nightmare.

But what is clear' from even a after he is wounded in a brawl. In another, cursory review of the last two decades of racial tension erupts into a fistfight television fiction is that Americans’ faith in between Reeves and an arrogant Black the redeeming power of schools is at an student who makes an issue of his distaste all-time low. for the organized rituals of gym class and Even at its mildest, this loss of faith is basketball.

While nostalgia most teachers as their victims, and racial Forget about readin’, ritin’ and ’rithmetic. In the modern alphabet of television fiction, at least, “school days” are more likely to mean racism, rape and - - These themes do, of course, reflect real trends in the real World. But the mirror is distorted, selective. The image is often founded in an incestuous exchange between mass journalism and mass entertainment. In a recent interview, “White Shadow” creator Ken Howard explained that his story ideas came from “the popular press,” and in all probability, so do the majority of TV plots. As a result, events which may receive publicity in the first place by virtue of their uniqueness their newsworthiness merge into dramatic fiction, where television’s taste for repetition provides them with the force of generalizations. This is the true source of the medium’s social influence: transforming real, if limited developments, into massive, all-encompassing trends. Television has followed a long and escalating course to the present obsession with social conflict in American education. Although classrooms have never enjoyed the prominence of frontier towns, detective offices or police stations as favorite TV settings, over the years they have provided a steady stream of images drawn from and contributing to the popular conception of the school. Until the mid-Sixties, these images were entirely comic, and located in a tranquil small town America which was quite unlike the urban environments in which most viewers actually lived. The frivolous crises of Mr. Peepers and Our Miss Brooks had nothing at all to do with an intrusion of concerns from that tension-ridden world. They traded in an uncontroversial brand of humor resting on stock comedy characters: absent-minded professors, smark aleck kids, man-chasing spinsters and reluctant suitors. The 1959 debut of The Many Loves of Dobie Gillis marked an important, if only — — - gradual step towards reality. Its chief character was a student, rather than a teacher, and one whose life was a prophetic battleground for value systems which would be locked in more serious combat a few years later. Dobie Gillis was caught in the middle of an ideological tug-or-war. On one side were the forces of a demanding, inflexible establishment his workaholic father, a wealthy socialite pal, the greedy, beautiful Thalia Menninger. On the other - side were the advocates of an early version of the politics of liberation the beatnik Maynard G. Krebs, his supportive teacher, Mr. Pomfrit, and the homely but understanding Zelda Gilroy. The conflicts these social forces provided were symbolized each week in the opening image of Dobie, pondering his fate in front of a statue ofThe Thinker. Real social tensions were still very much soft-peddled in “Dobie Gillis.” But as the decade progressed and the vast school-aged population produced by the baby boom carried education . to the center of American attention, schools commanded more serious notice in TV fiction. The change was most apparent in a radical transformation of the setting. In place of the comic small town dream which had dominated the TV picture of school for ten years, new series like “Mr. Novak” and “Room 222” were set in urban high schools, populated by the troubled urban mix of races and ethnic groups. Here the school was society in microcosm, besieged by social problems which expanded graphically on the minor tensions suggested in “Dobie Gillis.” However, along with the legendary Father Flanagan, the teacher-heroes of Sixties’ TV embodied the belief that there was no such thing as a bad boy. There were only bad paths which kids might be tempted to follow without enlightened - —continued on page 12— Sierra Club The Sierra Gub Radioactive Wastes campaign is planning a “work session” on Thursday, Sept. 13 to update people on the rally at West Valley.

With the .8 appointment of Murray Schwartz as Ihe new Colleges Dean maybe | some questions as to exactly where the Colleges'fit in can be §■ answered. Claude Welch, who held the Colleges post while the University searched three times for a" permanent Dean, deserves a lot of credit. Welch, although only Acting Dean and unsure of the length of his tenure with the Colleges, didn't slough off important questions. In fact, Welch and DUE Dean John Peradotto conducted a lengthy debate last Spring surrounding the question of whether 30 Colleges courses should be accepted as distribution options available to undergrads. But it's difficult to plan for the long term when in a position for only the short term. Now, with Schwartz pulling the Colleges' reigns, perhaps a necessary depth of examination will be exercised. All three search committees realized the tenuous status of the Colleges Dean. The requirements demanded someone with tenure because the Colleges wan a person who doesn't have to keep looking over his shoulder before opening his mouth. They wanted a person who would be strong and assertive, unconcerned with a University Administration that all too often bases its decisions on politics rather than ideology. Murray Schwartz, they believe, is that person. Schwartz has already recognized some of the key questions facing the Colleges. His ideology that hurting the Colleges doesn't help the rest of the University should permeate his actions. Aware that the University is continuously facing a decline in resources, Schwartz points out "the Colleges will suffer some reduction in budget because everyone will," but because of the Colleges' unique position "I don't expect the Colleges to justify their budget solely based on student enrollment." The Colleges' money situation and on what formula its fiscal support will be based, is just one part of a much broader issue. Educationally, this institution has failed to define the role the Colleges should play. To what extent should College courses be tied to regular academic units? In what areas should College courses expound upon the standard academic focus of a given course? How much of a role will the Colleges play in the soon-to-be developed General Education plan? Both the Colleges and Gen Ed call for multi-disciplinary studies; will a Gen Ed document be the fiscal savior of the Colleges? Many of the same previously brushed aside consideration affecting the Colleges educationally have hampered the effectiveness of the Colleges residential programs. The concerns of the Office of Finance and Management do not always mesh with concerns of the Colleges. In the past, some students have charged that the Colleges' residential programs served as an opportunity for a select few to receive preferential room allotment. Perhaps Schwartz will resolve what appears to be a pressing question: What degree of independence and responsibility do the Colleges have in their dorms? Internally, Schwartz must also deal with the Colleges' unique system for self-review. The Chartering process has proved to have its advantages, as noted by the outside review team in 1977. However, last year, two Colleges slated for re-chartering had their evaluations postponed, while one other College did not have its review completed. The Colleges, like any other segment of the University, have their fair share of problems. But because of the Colleges' alternative direction, their problems are often viewed with sharper scrutiny. With the appointment of a full-time leader, the Colleges can now stop searching for a Dean and start searching for solutions. t- » — - ,» - - HE KEEPS TALKING To HARVEY.., WHO'S HARVEY?' - — — — Spirits in the Wight by Joel Dinerstein Ever since I noticed that beneath this song’s (Springsteen’sO infectious chorus was a beautifully subtle, visual image, I’ve wanted to put it on a pedestal somewhere.

His letter in the September 7th edition of The Spectrum reeks with prejudice towards Jews. It is an outrage that The Spectrum printed his letter; on the page before there is a notice stating that the paper is reluctant to print letters that are personal or ethnic attacks. His letter is a personal attack against every Jew and any person who believes in Israel. It is an ethnic attack not only against Jews, but against Blacks as well, because Dr. Asante’s views are totally destructive and he would obviously like to see Jews and Blacks on the battlefield. The tone of his letter leaves no other possible conclusion. Andrew Young went against United States foreign policy by talking with the PLO without going to his superiors in the State Department first. Young stated that he thought he was acting in the best interest of this nation. Young forgot one thing -. the President of the United States makes the guidelines for foreign policy and issues such as that, not the U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations. We can only wish that one day Blacks and Jews will realize that they share the same kind of prejudice and injustice being directed against them. When that happens, at least the Black and Jewish communities of the world will be able to breathe a little bit easier, knowing that they have solved whatever differences existed in the past.

DeSantis said the University will turn outstanding bills over to Collection agencies and the State, Attorney General’s Office to retrieve the money. Templeton said the University tries to keep records current but, “is, I think, a little behind.” He said the Attorney General will periodically send money that is collected -and will authorize write-offs for dollars unable to be retrieved. “We’ll just have to try to whittle down the $4 2 million figure,” he concluded. of this design and implementation effort should permit the University to implement the several recommendations of this audit.’ The current system was defined by Snyder as “the result of a little adding and modifying here and there over the years.” He said, however, it has not bridged the gaps. “Hopefully, the major components for the new system will be ready by next September,” he said.

Those close to the search also admit that the Colleges’ volatile political relationship with the University Administration help make tenure essential for the Dean. Without it, a Dean forced to put his appointment on the line to fight for the Colleges’ interest would also be risking his personal economic security, since he does not have faculty tenure to fall back on. A tenured Dean can always go back to being a professor if he gets in hot water; an untenured dean might be out on the street. Colleges’ Associate Dean Richard Menn admitted, “Tremendous disappointment was widely shared at the end of the second prolonged search.” But Menn, who along with his co-administrator Carole $tpith “ ... ... “ Petro, was asked to assume a greater role as the Colleges operated without a full-tune Dean, commented, “It’s already wearing off.” According to Menn, both morale and long-range planning are already picking up in the Colleges’ Ellicott Complex home. Schwartz, who believes the Colleges are a major asset to this University has a myriad of goals. The new Dean explained that he basically has three goals for the Colleges: 1) to create stronger ties with the University faculty; 2) to help develop the academic programs of the Colleges, and 3) to strengthen the residential programs were necessary. Damage doesn’t help One major goal, Schwartz suggested, “is to - integrate the Colleges into the General plan.” Currently, a faculty Senate committee is designing a General Education plan which will increase the breadth of students’ education and also emphasize cross-disciplinary studies. Schwartz also plans to grapple with traditional Colleges’ problems. Last year, a request that 30 College courses be considered distribution options for undergraduates was denied by Dean of Undergraduate Education (DUE) John Peradotto. “I don’t consider the distribution question closed,” asserted Schwartz. “It’s not entirely settled and I plan to re-open discussion in the future.” With a tremendous task facing him, Schwartz is already active in the Colleges’ daily affairs. “I want to convince people,” he said, “that damaging the Colleges is not a rational way to improve other areas of the University.” NEED EXTRA CASH Come to Education ? the SA Book Exchange 219 Squire-Main St. Campus BRING IN BOOKS TO BE SOLD WED, SEPT 5TH THRU S3PT BOOKS WILL BE SOLD FROM PICK UP UNSOLD BOOKS & MON, SEPT I0TH THRU TUES, SEPT I8TH CHECKS -WED.

In this century 100,000 miners have been killed, and millions have mostly in been permanently disabled eastern mines. Miners also face the risk of black lung disease, a severe respiratory ailment. Within the past 20 years, many eastern mines were closed by labor disputes over safety. Coal producers began to prefer western surface stripmining because the accident rates were lower, productivity higher, and most of the workers non-union. But western coal has its disadvantages. Many fear that stripmining will cause irreversible damage to valuable ranges and cropland leaking acid wastes through the soil and gouging out land from the earth. Also most western coal generates less heat, meaning more land must be used for coal extraction to satisfy the nation’s energy areas being endangered from sources hundreds of miles away. The Great Lakes region is the home of many industrial operations, but because of the chemical composition of the soils and rocks, the region has a “buffer capacity” which dissolves acid rain than in the Adiroridacks and most places. Sulfur dioxide emissions can be made less acidic through “gas scrubbers,” but then sulfur is precipitated out in an all too noticeable form black sludge. Unlike other forms of sludge which can be broken down for fertilizer, coal sludge contains toxic elements. Enormous amounts of this sludge is being dumped in landfills across the nation, landfills which ofteri like the infamous Love Canal leak toxic acknowledge chemicals. Many these landfills to pose a serious threat to water and life. Perhaps the greatest danger posed by coal combustion is an invisible threat: the global increase in carbon dioxide which could eventually heat up the atmosphere or flooding even melt the polar ice caps coastal cities. Biophysics professor Fred Snell explained, “The carbon dioxide level m the atmosphere can double by the year 2000 if fossil fuel combustion continues to increase.” If deforestation and overpollution of oceans continue, the excess carbon dioxide could not be absorbed by the water, he said.

While a restless campus, either on TV or in real life, might mirror the failures of the larger society, school itself was viewed as an important instrument for progress, the place where problems were solved. Like many of their viewers, the liberal and producers of television’s dramatic aeries in the Sixties were caught up in the optimistic tide which rose with John Kennedy’s election to the presidency and Waned painfully through the divisive years of the Vietnam War, riots, the loss of It is from that context that today’s TV faith in social reform schoolroom has materialized. The heritage of liberalism still survives in its broad outlines. But when the conventional TV image of teachers emphasizes their assassinations and increasing attacks on the record of social reform. victimization by unstlvageable students, liberal motives can only appear foolish. In writers - - a sense, the situation recalls a joke that made the rounds in the early Seventies. A conservative, the punchline went, is just a liberal who has been mugged.

It’s one of those places which won’t fade into grey silence just because you’re four thousand miles away. You hear about the ‘Peanut President,’ about crazy men shooting gasoline attendents at mobbed stations. America’s Sky Lab sprinkled Pertlf; Australia with the wonders of the space age and the world raced to get a piece. In the Middle East, it’s American made F-15s bombing PLO targets in southern Lebanon. And even in the desert sands of Sinai, off the quaint Venetian streets of Corfu, disco America’s latest contribution to world culture thrives. In Jerusalem’s Arab market where donkeys haul garbage and — — Arab men draped in caftans socialize over coffee, a shopkeeper raises his voice above the wailing music, “Two American dollars, anything here.” It’s hard not to look like an American wearing Smith painter pants and a Jansport day pack. You try to ignore him and walk on to read ‘Drink Coca Cola’ printed in Hebrew on yellow and white tee shirts. On the bus heading for home, the radio sputters some fast Hebrew words and then the announcer slides into English, “Carole King,” he says stretching the T sound, and her soothing voice starts assuring you, “You’ve got a friend.” Jerusalem’s heat and hilly terrain do not afford joggers the best opportunities, but you’ll see them persist. A middle aged couple pants by in spanking white sneakers and official shorts and before they even open their mouths you can tell, they’re American. In Israel, overalls and jeans are a sought after commodity. It’s almost the national uniform. As tight as people’s budgets are,'they will pay thirty-five dollars for this genuine American garb. Thank goodness McDonalds hasn’t taken over yet. Fallafel stands have a solid base in the East. Beef is too Middle expensive; however, I have no doubts that were it feasible those familiar Big Mac advertisements and golden arfches would ferace the side walks of Tel Aviv. America’s emissaries are not ambassadors and Secretaries of State but the little things like the hamburger, a pair of Levi’s, or the latest disco hit. Well, that’s what a large part of the world knows about America. But, unlike me, they know only the copies. 1 have access to the originals. The plane landed in Kennedy Airport.

The remaining funds are allocated by student activity fees. From ten to four today, this independent state wide consumer protection and environmental lobby, is having an exhibition in Squire Hall’s Center Lounge to inform students how NYPIRG funds are employed. “Its purpose is two-fold: informing students of NYPIRG issues some of which may be used as special for independent study and secondly, to obliterate apathetic modes by educating UB’s public on current social, political and environmental issues,” said NYPIRG Chairperson, Judi Becker. Frank Butterini, Project Coordinator for NYPIRG, talked about a number of proposed projects to be displayed at the exhibition Housing rental agencies in New York City were found to have copied house rental ads from local newspapers forcing an unsuspecting client to pay the price of special listings. “NYPIRG would like to begin an investigation in the Buffalo area,” he said. well under their actual home values. Butterini speculated, “This is due to the fact that assessors are overburdened and do not reassess annually as should be done to keep up with the cost of living and to coincide with the location priorities of the times.” There is presently a movement to the suburbs and because of this, values of city homes decrease for lack of want, whereas suburban homes increasingly becomre valuable. A lobbying group Because assessment is done only when one moves or improves their home, they may be paying taxes on ten year old values. Buffalo’s Commissioner of Assessment Jeseph Cordara confirmed Butterini’s convictions. He went on to say, “We don’t usually raise the value of someone’s home when improvements are made. I mean, why punish them for bettering their home.” He then added, “While we are in the neighborhood, we do reassess a few neighboring houses, in most cases reassess their values.” NYP1RG is not only a research group but a lobby group enacting legislation aimed at public safety in both the economic and environmental spheres. Preventing West Valley from becoming a permanent of ‘temporary’ dumping grouds for nuclear wastes is one such issue. Plans and facts concerning the September 29 rally at the West Valley site, will be available. Photographic and factual remnants ofLove Canal will also be exhibited in an effort to refocus public interest ip the issue. Media prove The Bottle Bill is another piece of legislation An investigation of the media has also been NYPIRG currently attempting to get passed. If proposed allowing citizens to have more say as to passed, it would place a mandatory deposit on all what is said and shown on television, radio and in bottles and cans. According to NYPIRG statistics, newspapers. According to Butterini, the public this bill would reduce, litter content in the United would have the ability through petitiorrprocedure, States by 60 to 80 percent, save 670,000 tons of to decide what it is they would like to have put ‘on glass, steel, and aluminum annually and enough gas the air’.

The mood on Capitol Hill and one public opinion poll after another told the President and his inner circle that he was in serious trouble. The soft-spoken Georgian peanut farmer has simply failed to come across as a leader to the American people. Only three years ago, the people were revulsed by the Imperial Presidency and its litany of power abuses: Lyndon Johnson’s Vietnam quagmire and Nixon’s Watergate. We were fed up with being deceived, we wanted leadership we could trust. It was on this mandate that Jimmy Carter was elevated to the White House in 1976. But all that has changed now. America finds itself in the midst of a worrisome crisis. We face rapidly dwindling energy supplies, a truculent oil cartel, a hostile Third World and a new self assertive Europe. We’re not the undisputed boss anymore and that fact very much worries Americans. What we need is a strong, charismatic leader and the current occupant of the White House doesn’t meet up to these standards, or so the current political wisdom goes. Analysis Summer of1979: Season of crisis for Jimmy Carter as primaries near Kennedy challenge looms ever larger ' • . Image refashioned In light of this climate, Jimmy Carter sought to refashion his sagging public image. His sudden Cabinet sack in July, sacrificing unpopular, malcontented and otherwise non-team playing cabinet members including James Schle singer (Energy), Joseph Califano (HEW) and Brock Adams (Transportation) was right in this vein. The President hoped that a bit of chest thumping, an unabashed demonstration of power would help dispel the widely held opinion that the White House- is indecisive and nonassertive. And then there was Carter’s gospel-tone energy address. The sums he reeled off were staggering rr- a massive infusion of $70 billion for the development of a synthetic fuels industry, new monies for mass transportation and solar energy. A maudlin appeal to American optimism and ingenuity: if we can get to the moon, then we can surely lick this overseas-abetted crisis. The cabinet sack certainly didn’t work any miracles for Carter. The new cabinet faces were little more than a change of style. Carter was uneasy about retaining an independent maverick like Califano who blithely compromised important votes in states like South Carolina with his attacks on the tobacco industry and his controversial anti-cigarette campaign. South Carolina was more important than Califano, no matter how competent and effective an administrator he might be. The greatly boosted power delegated to Ham Jordan and the Georgia Mafia was redolent of cronyism and the deplorable “behind closed doors’’- mentality of the House, a White Ehrlichman-Haldeman-Nixon affair forever. The Carter vowed to banish mentality the non-subtle was as viewed generally demonstration of assertiveness that it was. The energy'address was essentially an encore of Carter’s campaign style exhortations. .The simplistic The Spectrum writer R. Gilbert. -R.C. appeal to American nationalism is what Carter does best. And it was brought off well, replete with the now classic, watery eyes (especially moist when speaking about America’s greatness) and a general timber of honesty. Congress was rightly treated as the whipping boy of Carter’s frustrations; he called the venerable body a pawn of powerful special interest lobbies like the oil companies who were in cast turn singled out for Carter’s sharpest rebuke as the real villains of the energy crisis. The address boosted the President’s popularity ratings a few points but it failed to stem the tide of general public dissatisfaction with Carter’s performance in the long - run. The Summer of ’79 saw no dearth of debacles either. The biggest was the forced resignation of United Nations Ambassador Andrew Young. Young, who has embroiled himself in more than his share of controversies during his two year tenure as Ambassador, seemed immune from the President’s axe, both because of his special relationship with Carter and because of his position as the most prominent black in the administration. Although the details of who knew what and when about Young’s unsanctioned meeting with PLO officially Ambassador Terzi were unclear, Young’s indiscretion presented Carter with a wracking dilemma. But the outcry from the Jewish community and the President’s own pledge to dismiss any member of his administration who deliberately mislead the public or himself made the eventual decision to accept Young’s resignation all but final. Uphill battle The fallout from this affair could prove disastrous to Carter’s renomination and election, an effort which was a decidedly uphill battle even before the controversy. Young was extremely popular among the black community and his dismissal has ignited a storm of much publicized acrimony, a tempest which can only work against the administration. Massive black support was a key to Carter’s 1976 campaign victory. Jews already upset about the administration’s overtures to Arab nations and the PLO are even more indignant now that they are being cast as the perpetrators of Young’s downfall. Certainly Carter cannot afford to alienate the two constituencies which ary the traditional backbone of the Democratic Party coalition: the blacks and the Jews. If there’s one issue that can make or break a president, it’s the economy. And on this score Carter certainly does not fare well either. Inflation is running to double digits and unemployment is rising. The nation is entering a mild recession. The President, whether it’s fair or not, bears the brunt of the beating for a sour economy.

Some see in this rupture a sad commentary on ethnic relations. What I see is a case of historic inevitability. The conflict between blacks and Jews reflects the fact that these two groups have made their' alliances with opposing camps in an international struggle for power. My interest in Jewish-black relations begins with my own origins. My grandfather, Emmanuel Dreyfuss, migrated from France to Haiti in the 1880s to escape anti-Semitism and married into an old Haitian family. As the child of international civil servants growing up in the Caribbean, West Africa, and Europe, 1 found no contradictions between being black and having roots that were Jewish, French African, and Latin American. But when my family settled in New York in 1960, I learned quickly that I could no longer straddle my multiple origins. I was black in America, but 1 retained a deep personal concern about American Jews and their relationship to American blacks. 1 had grown up in a world where class was more important than color and power more effective than morality, so I was fascinated by race relations in America. History of oppression During my Americanization in New York public schools and at City College, I accepted without question the explanation that blacks and Jews were allies because of their common history of oppression. Most of my white friends were Jews and we seemed to share a vision of the benefits, contradictions, and injustices of the American system. But a series of events in the 1960sbegan to strain that alliance and my own personal relationships with Jewish friends. The emergence of the black power movement seemed logical to me. I had grown up accustomed of blacks exercising power in Haiti and in Africa. Once the laws declaring racial equality were put in place here, 1 thought it natural for blacks to want to control institutions that would meet their needs and reflect their own perceptions. Stokely Carmichael’s famous 1966 declaration that whites should combat racism and leave blacks-to organize themselves hardly seemed to warrant the hostile reaction it provoked in the Jewish community. I couldn’t understand why Jews were so resentful of a sense of group identity among blacks that they themselves had always enjoyed. The fact that blacks played no prominent role in B’nai B’rith and the American Jewish Committee was not an acceptable comparison to them. The coalition of blacks and Jews, the joining of two groups with vastly unequal power and resources, was more symbiosis than alliance. Blacks had benefited from the involvement in the civil rights movement and would suffer a damaging blowwhen that support was withdrawn. — •_ Fall 1979 MWF 10:00—10:50, Clemens 202 Instructor: Prof. Wilma Newberry Reg.

Practice will be given in writing business letters and on oral presentations in practical situations. OPEN THE DOOR TO BILINGUAL OPPORTUNITIES IN THE BUSINESS WORLD! The Jews had also benefited. They had been able to confront their own alienation from the American mainstream by participating in the struggle for equality. The rebuff by blacks forced Jews to reevaluate their standing in America and led them to conclude that they could no longer classify themselves among the “Ijave hots” of this country. If they had become a powerful force in America, what was the benefit of associating with a powerless and increasingly unpopular group? The parting of the ways came at a time when civil rights leaders were realizing the inadequacy of protest for confronting economic issues. Martin Luther King’s Chicago campaign, his first movement north, had been a dismal failure. There had been fierce white resistance, Mayor Daley side-stepped the issue and King was literally stoned. This caused trepidation in the northern liberal community. King’s early opposition to the Vietnam War completed the break. This, after all, was the war against Communism', and besides, blacks, as VNew York Times editorial counseled at the time, should not be concerned with foreign policy matters. (Andy Young’s appearance on Face the Nation last Sunday showed how little thia attitude has changed when a reporter wondered aloud if blacks should be concerned about the Middle East issue.) After King’s death, the fear of black violence chased some white liberals back to the fold, but the alliance could not last because black and Jewish interest no longer coincided. American Jews had routed anti-Semitism and opened all but the most sacred doors i of the American system. Blacks w6re still on the outside and they would become their natural competitors in the urban middle classes. Influence downplayed The peculiar madness of being black in Americ in t 1970s is due primarily to the chasm between our experiences and their interpretation by whites. Public opinion polls show most whites believe that racism is no longer an obstacle to black progress. Yet racism, in its more subtle forms, is an experience shared by blacks regardless of background, education, or class. The Invisible Man has made a comeback in the 1970s. The experiences that most blacks live never make the evening news, prime-time television, or the world of Woody Allen. Whites continue to deny their racism and reveal it for all to see in their fantasies. Blacks will obviously play no role in the future of Star Wars and Close Encounters. They don’t exist in the present of Manhattan and Superman. They are written out of the past in The Deerhunter and Loose Change. Jewish power in America has always been a difficult subject to address. Jewish leaders, fearing a backlash, have tried to downplay their influence on America. Their most effective tactic has been to attack any references to the power of Jews as “anti-Semitic,” immediately blocking further discussion of the issue. But it is impossible to discuss the conflict between blacks and Jews without addressing the issue of power. American Jews exert an economic, political, and intellectual influence on th: s country far out of proportion to their numbers. —continued on p«9« 20— �i ■* 'T- felt the thrill of politics and the promise of America almost as if they were real. The rest of my experience would convince me they weren’t. moments 1 by Jay Rosen Special to The Spectrum In the southeastern comer of the State, where the Pennsylvania Turnpike and Interstate 80 meet like asphalt rivers running from the , hills, sits the tiny town of Breezewood, PA. Breezewood is one of those middle American communities that owes its soul to the superhighway, all life flows from the exit ramps to a mile-long stretch of pure Automobilia an outpost for nearly every fast food franchise Worth its neon, gas pumps displaying every major oil company’s colors and, of course, the faceless truck stops where scratchy-beared men with midwestern drawls climb down for a cup of coffee and a cold shower. Without the govemment.s massive, 20-year program to pave a - newtork of Interstates linking every corner of the country, towns like Breezewood would have no reason to live. By the summer of 1979, with, gas lines frustrating travelers and Fear, loathing & wonder in the Capitol reflecting on the city of symbols and power Media machine The Washington political world is extraordinarily diverse, bringing together people with absolutely nothing in common other than a desire to influence the political process, or in some cases become it. It is that huge, overwhelming part of Washington that the nation looks to for feats far beyond the city’s capabilities. Each of these pleas to'save the country are accepted, indeed relished, then filed away for futher action which inevitably looks pale and empty of meaning when Washington finally gets around to it It is a world of symbols, a town where people were always trying to establish the implications of their actions, where importance was a measure of an issue’s inflation, the pressure that the government-media machine could bring on it. When the American farmers, broken and nearly defeated by the economics of mass agriculture, rolled into Washington on dusty, oversized tractors, the town loved it. What a genuine symbol, they said, what a forceful message, real Americans on real American machines, silhouetted against the White House in the midnight air. Democracy on wheels, the farmer comes to Washington to plead his case, from the heartlands of America to the halls of government, the political process at work. angering truckers across the country, and with energy shortages threatening to weave trimmer lifestyles into the fabric of American life, Breezewood, Pa., had good reason to believe in Jimmy Carter’s Crisis of Confidence. It had begun to lose its place on the map; it could look in its grease-streaked restrooms and see one of the first victims of the • 1980’s. Seventy miles to the south on Interstate 80, business was booming in Washington, D.C. America was what you read about in the papers, America was beyond the lush green carpets of the Potomac hills, Bitter haul America was somewhere other than its own capital, where life was Washington couldn’t see that it was the political process in this politics and politics was government and government was everything if that had broken case the policies of the Department of Agriculture you could just get it to listen to you. them their tractors for a bitter haul these men, that had forced into come to wouldn’t, couldn’t, Since Washington across the country.

There were many nights Big government rising above the streets like a giant when the sight of the Capitol It iSy thus not surprising that Americans are growing more guardian of the Republic, the floodlit whiteness of the dome against a with government (the media calls it “big” government as black summer night would stop me in my tracks. Those were the disenchanted the word itself provides some explanation for this failure) and that if they continue to ignore the voting booths (nearly two of three eligible voters didn’t vote in tire last election). Certainly disenchantment with the government is the result of a co’mplex set of factors, but Washington’s tendency to insulate itself, helped along by the very uniqueness of the Washington political world, is one of the least examined. The explanation for the growing distance between the capital and the country is partly found in the substance of Washington life, in what makes the city go. The assertion that government can work, that it can spot and solve social problems, forms the basis of political life in Washington; it is the \ city’s reason for existing. Thus, the city takes for granted what the rest of the nation doubts. This fundamental difference in hope for government (and for Washington) is so completely removed from the business of running the country that is surfaces only in after-the-fact anti-Washington rhetoric, symbolized by Jimmy Carter’s hilarious attempt to run for re-election as the Washington outsider when he is in fact the biggest and most important insider of them all. It is Washington’s inability to adjust to the uniqueness of its own world that -•»*"* led Carter to such a confusing stand. - - ' — — - — — - — m, 0\ ' I i tf The progress of government is measured for Americans in results: the higher taxes, the higher prices, the things that remain after the government has dealt or not dealt with them. Press is crucial In Washington, the focus is on the process of running the government, on the day-to-day turning of the political machinery. The quest for results frequently ends in Washington where it begins for the rest of the country on the passage of a bill, for instance. An issue is frequently considered settled on Capitol Hill when a new law is enacted; but from the public’s perspective the enforcement of the law and the changes that come out of it are the beginning of politics’ effect. All the glamor, all the drama surrounds the Washington political process; perceptions of how well the government is working are profoundly influenced by the attention Washington places on itself especially the Congress and the White House. - 'V — — Here, the press plays a crucial role.

Jewirii insecurity Blacks, envious of the power that Jews wield in America, find it difficult to understand the profound insecurity of Jews about their own role in this country. This insecurity led to the reaction against black power and is reflected in the vehemence of the attacks against affirmative action. Any system which looks at numbers in the population is seen as a threat to Jewish achievement. But a sensitivity to race has been the most effective way of bringing blacks into the mainstream. To pretend that racial attitudes do not affect evaluations, selections, and promotions is to deny hundreds of year? of conditioning in America. That is the kernel of last June’s Weber Supreme Court decision, an acknowledgement of historical fact strangely absent from the Bakke decision of 1978. In briefs filed in the Bakke case, notable those of B’nai B’rith and the neo-conservatiye Committee for Academic Nori-Discrimination and Integrity, there were attempts to equate the Jewish experience in America with that of blacks. The CANI brief even The peculiar madness of being black in America in the 1970’s is due primarily to the chasm between our experiences and their interpretation by whites. went so far as to argue that Allan Bakke had fewer rights under affirmative action than a black after Reconstruction. Many black people believe that as the power of Jews has increased, so has their insensitivity to different views and different cultures. While blacks have to struggle to get the United States to pay any attention to the problems of Africa, the Middle East consumes the energies of successive American administrations. Black complaints abouj racism in television fall on deaf ears, but the selection of Vanessa Redgrave to play a concentration camp victim creates an uproar. And now, the suspicion is that Andy Young was ousted to appease Jewish and Israeli anger. Recent changes But there have been changes in the recent years. The roles of the “have” and “have nots” have shifted. The American defeat in Vietnam was an important symbol for emerging nationalism of the Third World. If a tiny country could survive the rage of the world’s most powerful nation, then the struggle for self-determination was not hopeless. The rout of the Portugese (and their NATO weapons) in Angola and Mozambique reinforced this belief. The Cold Warriors, righteous in their power, could only see red. Racism contributed to the perception of libetation movements as dupes of Soviet Communism. After all, it was difficult to believe that blacks in this country could know what was best for them. The value of Andrew Young «;at trig ability to empathize with the aspirations of Third World countries. His presence gave credibility to Americanforeign policy toward developing nations. He did not approach Africa with the arrogance of Henry Kissinger, who convened his Vienna summit on southern Africa in 1976 without a single black at the conference ■ taW. Andy Young understood why the blacks of Zimbabwe and South Africa saw white supremacy as a greater threat than Communism. Africans, like their brethren in America, had experienced thie cruelties of racism. They could not be intimidated by the invocation of the red bogey-man. They also knew that the regimes in southern Africa survived because the Western powers supported them. That part of the world became the test of America’s willingness to abandon white supremacy as an ally. Redistribution of power But the Arab states, frustrated militarily, had discovered the power of oil. They had found a tool that would accelerate the redistribution of power and force the Western nations to reevaluate their international politics. The fall of the Shah of Iran removed the last buffer between the oil nations and their customers. As long as the Shah was in power, Iran would not act in concert with oil producers in any boycott. After the revolution, Iran not only cut off oil to Israel but to South Africa. Therefore, it is not by accident that the Palestinian cause has suddenly become a legitimate issue. And the fact that there is so much resistance to even considering the cause of the Palestinians could even lead blacks in this country to sympathize with them as the underdog. As long as Andrew Young confined himself to African issues, his critics would tolerate him as Jimmy Carter’s burden. But once he stepped into the sacred arena of Middle East politics, he became expendable. American Jews have always demanded unequivocal support for Israel from successive administrations and they have always regarded the Middle East as something that should not concern blacks. But in our changing world,, two major strands of American foreign policy began to intertwine. Israel was developing a close relationship with South Africa. There was economic and military cooperation, and even hints that the two countries had shared their nuclear weapons technology. The “Muldergate” influence-buying scandal was the result of Israel’s advice to South Africa toconcentrate on public relations. Israeli helicopters, purchased from the United States, turned up in Rhodesia. Just as American Jews were being regarded as foes at home, blacks were beginning to view Israel as an enemy abroad. Andy Young’s so-called diplomatic gaffes were intended to open a dialogue in areas that had to be confronted before genuine peace could be achieved. If we are to live in peace, we must understand and respect one another. History is on the side of the “have nots” here and abroad. Those that have power today had better make friends among the powerless for tomorrow.

But'-it is underappreciated. A close examination of the distance between Washington life and life in the U.S. of A. wduld have to question things that are too fundamental, too close to the heart of Washingtonians, such as should there be the massive centralization of government in' the capital? Should the city be watched-over by a fatherly Congress, always willing to cough up taxpayers’ money to keep city life significantly more comfortable than most other urban areas in the nation? Can the revolving door policy and the buddy-system that perpetuate the Washington establishment be broken? Should bureaucrats, Congressmen, the President spend some portion of the year outside the city? Can Washington still consider itself the heart of government, when the heartbeat of the nation sounds so maintly in its corridors? The streets of the Federal Center area, where white marbled houses of bureaucracy stand toe-to-toe with each other, lay empty and lifeless on weekend nights. The avenues, eight lanes wide, carry only .a trickle of cars, the sidewalks are strippped bare of pedestrians, the air is quiet and still. The city would look dead without the knowledge that, come Monday morning, the business of government will busy the streets and pack the walkways and put a buzz of excitement in the air: another day of politics, another day of good government, another chance to move the nation that built such majesty out of the swamps of the Potomac. By law, the city will allow no building to be taller than the U.S. Capitol. Washington has decreed that nothing can tower over the symbols of the Republic. And so far, nothing has. . WE DELIVER!

Lewis’ Battitt is an aristocratic industrialist who unthinkingly adopts middle class values. Philistine, the other interviewee, has a self explanatory name.

Basically, Teddy, in his Kantian pragmatism, is saying that we can’t stop the intelligence community from wiretapping, so the attempt to regulate it, to allow some wiretapping, is a more realistic approach. This precludes the notion of “Give them an inch and they will take a mile” Before 1 ask my final question, consider these two pieces of Teddy testimony.

Soviet troops Carter’s relations with Congress remain untactful and aloof. Accordingly, has had a tough time getting priority legislation through the heavily Democratic 96th Congress. This state of affairs has still not been repaired despite a consistent turnover of Congressional liaisons. And the clamor over the presence of some 3000 Soviet troops in Cuba is hampering the passage of Carter’s prized SALT II treaty. Moreover, Carter throughout his term in office, has had to constantly look over his shoulder to keep an eye on the doings of his most formidable Democratic challenger, Ted Kennedy. With the specter of the New Camelot on the horizon, Carter finds himself in the same boat as LBJ. Johnson was constantly preoccupied with the threat of Bobby. Carter to his dismay, has inherited this “watch Kennedy” syndrome. Oops. Two errors appeared in Monday's page 6 article on campus vandalism.

STATE UNIVERSITY CF NEU YORK AT BUFFALO AMHERST CAMPUS Sunday: - Correction - Sat; Vigil: The events of the past few weeks have pointed more and more to a Kennedy candidacy. As the Draft Teddy movement grows stronger and stronger and as the primaries draw closer, Kennedy has dropped his pro forma facade of equivocal support for the incumbent. The polls show Kennedy running well ahead of both Carter and the most prominent Republican challengers: Reagan and Ford. Carter loses to all three, Kennedy like his supporters, does not relish a Democratic trouncing in the 1980 election, and these factors alone may force him into the race. Added to this is the lesson of history, that no President since Eisenhower has successfully served a full two terms in the White House. To boot, Carter has never sought re-election to any of the offices he has held. Still and all, Carter is a brilliant campaigner, as was demonstrated in 1976. He still has time to bring it all together in 1980 and get reelected even in the face of increasingly dismal odds. Time is running short the next few months will be very telling. 2 credits The Anti-Tradition" Prof. Victor Doyno, Department of English "The Italian—American Experience" Diefendorf - MF — Thursdays, 7:30 - 9:30 pm Call 636-2191 for further Information. �i K) SP *c agenda for the week of October 21—28.

Last Fall, the Bulls were finally beginning to emerge as a competitive club when Larry and the defense trotted onto the soggy turf of Rotary Field to battle the favored Albany Great Danes. On four occasions Larry Rothman buried the quarterback under his weight in mud-flinging tackles. Quarterback Terry Walsh of Albany suffered through the misty day, watching his team sink to a 15-8 upset. Rothman was the torpedo. His uniform stained brown and green after a full day’s work, Rothman remained the axle of the defense for the remaining games. “I guess you can’t say one guy was it,” Rothman modestly Said from his hospital bed. It was coach Gene Zinni who taught everyone. We started getting pursuit teamwise,” Rothman recalled of last year’s emergence. The team will miss Larry on the field, but can expect, his support on the sidelines as soon as he is mobile. “I’d like to see what the situation is like,” Rothman said.

Her squad may be faced with a tough schedule and she may miss the three outstanding seniors who graduated last May, but she can look to the returning talent, plus freshman phenom Debbie DiCarlo and be confident that all is well. The coach will admit, however, that she has not had enough time to assess the talent at hand. “The order isn’t even set yet,” Camnitz said, referring to the commonly used ranked order of singles and doubles playefs. “It’s really too early to tell, but we have a solid core.

The Council plans to continue the newsletter with a few timing adjustments. One of the new programs that will take place during the day, is to be held on the Amherst Campus at the academic spine. The “Spine Tingling” which will be on September 19 will try to lure students to the Amherst Campus in order to make them more familiar with the Norton, Capen, a,nd Talbert Hall areas. Co-sponsored by the University Union Activities Baord (UUAB), the day’s activities will include an outside lunch, live music and a demonstration by the Creative Craft Center. In keeping with the spine tingling theme, two Alfred Hitchcock films will be shown in Norton’s Woldman theater. The Council is encouraging use of the commuter Ride Board with renewed zest this year.

I ' I m UB s future shapedxs.. f • _ W Y ycai ' ' " ' CnPrldAnr J vJW vldlwnd by Daniel S. Parker Ediior-in-Chief The year to come may readily prove to be this University’s thrid turning point. In 1962, the privately financed University of Buffalo became a publiclyfunded, multifaceted University, part of the State (SUNY) system; the first turning point. The second came eight years later when Robert L. Ketter was appointed Prcsident—a position he was to hold for the decade of the Seventies. Now, this University stands at another crossroad. In the year to come, many major decisions may well be reached that will shape the future of education here. Perhaps what many are waiting to see is how firm UB’s standing is in the higher education sector. Competition between public schools in the State system has, in the past, left this school clamoring for more money as its libraries could no longer afford journal subscriptions, its top-ranked Dental School dropped to conditional accreditation, and its buildings lay unbuilt on the once-marveled Amherst Campus. Local legislators, most recently, have been responsive to UB’s needs, but the question remains: Will UB get its fair share of State money?. ; Financial vice The entire SUNY system is caught in a financial vice between another public system, the City University of New York (CUNY), and the other private institutions in the State. Last year, research showed that New York State ranked only 47th in economic support of its public higher education systems, while its aid to private collges fought a tuition hike in part with this revealing information, freshmen and sophomores will pay $150 more this year to attend a SUNY school. With the number of potential college-age students steadily decreasing, private schools in the State will continue their vigorous enrollment drives while public " The State’s recent decision to pick up the full tab for CUNY’s operating budget puts more pressure on SUNY. Previously, the two public institutions competed indirectly for funding, but now—with the State’s fuH commitment to CUNY—that competition will gtow more fierce. The effects of the CUNY merger with the SUNY system remain to be seen, but many believe that SUNY will once again suffer. Within that context, SUNY’s relationship to UB—be it renewed commitment or a deliberate bleeding—is a question of immediate concern. New leader? But by far, the most pressing question is: Who will be UB’s next President? The future of UB literally depends on the strengths and weaknesses of its President. What is needed is a SUNY’s relationship to UB—be it a renewed commitment or a deliberate bleeding—is a question of immediate concern. person capable of standing up for this University in Albany; not only voicing his concern, but getting results. Before UB’s operating budget dwindles beyond repair, before still more faculty members are lost to this dwindling budget, before the Amherst Campus is doomed to be permanently half-finished, UB must find a President who is capabale of winning political battles. But UB must also find a leader in its President. Both in academic and fiscal management—although they are inextricably linked—UB needs an innovator, one who is capable of devising a solid plan and seeing it through to completion. Robert Ketter has decided he would like to remain President. The University community must now decide whether Robert Ketter is the leader it wants for the next five years. Robert Ketter has been President since 1970 and in that time, he has expressed his concern for some areas of this University yet alienated himself from faculty in other parts, in so doing, created a politicized atmosphere n his Capen Hall ' administration. Kcttcr’s relationship to the students and faculty here is bound to cause a surge of both open criticism of the direction this University has taken under his leadership (or lack of leadership) as well as a behind-the-scenes debate designed to motivate public comment. It is likely that the fifth floor of Capen Hall will remain remarkably silent. Problems will remain glossed over as hand-picked administrators and people concerned about their jobs rally to Ketter’s support. Outside the University, it should be interesting to watch the community’s reaction, for Robert Ketter was the community’s choice in 1970. He represented “law and order” at a time when demonstrations and rocks shattered the community’s image of UB. Furthermore, the heavy-handed politiking that could stem from the Governor’s office to the College Council or from the Chancellor’s desk to the outside evaluation team could prove more important than* ahy of the internal evaluations. The politiking is crucial because this year, SUNY presidents will be evaluated under a totally new set of procedures. These procedures eliminate the campusbased constituency committee that would have evaluated Kfetter under the old guidelines. In its place, enters a team of three university presidents from outside the SUNY system. Certainly this team must garner input from students, faculty, andprofessional employees, but how much consideration is given to this input remains to be seen. Top priority If Robert Ketter receives the support of this University, then what is likely to follow will be an immediate exodus of faculty who no longer wish to work under a Ketter Administration. What will also, follow, will be a brief but important housecleaning of Capen Hall. Ketter is likely to either fire those who have caused him trouble, or make their jobs so difficult that they wish to leave. If Ketter is not supported by the SUNY Trustees, then two key results will occur. First, it is likely he will step down rather than serve the remainder of a “lame duck” presidency. This will result in the appointment of an Acting President, a person who most likely will not be from within the University. Thus, the Chancellor’s temporary replacement could well be a political appointment—a person who will reflect SUNY Central’s support for this institution. The second result will be the formation of a presidential search committee.

Curtin, ruling, directed the Board to eliminate a coi its program and integrate 15 remaining schools. The current plan—known as the Buffalo Plan—is broken into two features. First is the use of “magnet” schools, designed to attract nnyority students to schools located in inner city minority areas. The second part of the Plan—the aspect Curtin ruled was not woHcing—calls for minority students to be bused to majority schools on the periphery of the City. TTiis feature, known as the Quality integrated Education (QIE) program, “places a heavy burden of desegregating elementary schools on minority students,” according to Curtin. Curtin’s ruling was the result of recent legal action taken by City Councilman George Arthur, the Citizens rejected the Board’s policy Not voluntary For the last three years, a number of magnet schools have been in operation, and this aspect of the Buffalo Plan has proven to be successful both in raising the quality of education in the public schools arid as a desegregation device. In June, Curtin allowed this aspect of the desegregation program to stand. The second feature of the Buffalo Plan, the QIE program, he rejected. Opponents of QIE complain that it places an unfair burden of desegregating the schools on blacks because —continued on I, page 26— —Garry Group Legal Services loses battle over free representation by Mark Meltzer Campus Editor University President Robert L. Ketter was within his rights when he forbade the use of mandatory student fees to provide individual students with free legal representation, Federal Judge John T. Curtin has ruled. Ketter, who struck the individual representation portion from the proposal that created Group Legal Services (GSL) three years ago, had claimed that the concept of free individual representation violated the guidelines governing the use of mandatory student fees. According to those guidelines, mandatory fees are to be spent only for programs that arc of “educational, social or cultural enrichment or benefit to the campus community and for student services to supplement or add to those provided by the Unversity.” Big question Student Association (SA) lawyer Richard Lippes said an appeal will be filed shortly in the Second Circuit Appellate Court on the constitutional claim that every organization has the right to provide legal representation for its members. Executive Director of Sub-Board I Dennis Black told The Spectrum, “We don’t believe the judge has interpreted the constitution on the same lines the Supreme Court had on earlier decisions.” Sub-Board, the student corporation that disburses approximately $300,000 in activity fees each year, filed the suit in 1976. To support the constitutional argument, Lippes cited three Supreme Court decisions in which the court “very strongly held” the opinion that unions had the right to provide legal representation for —Garry Preneta Federal Court Judge John T. Curtin Rules out individual representation their members. However, Lippes said, the only such case involving students was overturned by a Court of Appeals after a lower court had ruled in their favor. But Lippes was careful to note that the case differs from SubBoard’s. A public interest group sued for University of Maryland students but project funding came from the state. The UB case involves the students’ rights to spend their “own money,” Lippes said. “We think that’s a very significant difference.” Unwise SA President Joel Maycrsohn was “disappointed” about Curtin’s ruling, but optimistic that the appeal would prove successful. “With proper legal information,” Mayersohn said, “The decision will be overturned.” Mayersohn, noting that other SUNY schools have “similar programs’’ where individual representation is allowed, commented, “Ketter did not use his wisest discretion in the decision. His decision has provided a disservice for the students.” Curtin’s ruling was partially based on the plaintiffs inability to show that students were being denied legal services because they were not available through GLS, according to Lippes. Additionally, Lippes noted, because no academic department is formally involved with GLS, Sub-Board was unable to prove that students were being denied educational benefits. Debra Decker, a UB law student and Associate GLS Director had, according to Black, testified at the hearing that she joined GLS to augment her legal studies. Ketter also held however, that legal services arc of such a private and personal nature that they do not fall under the mandatory fee umbrella. But Black pointed out that Sub-Board currently funds several other services—the Sexuality Education Center, the Pharmacy and the Off-Campus Housing Office—that are of a “very personal nature,” yet have drawn no objection from Ketter. “I think the basis of the decision is that Dr. Ketter is the President of the University and that it is up to his discretion how the guidelines of the Chancellor are to be interpreted. It’s as simple as that,” Black maintained. A three judge panel will decide whether to hear the appeal. Since Curtin said, according to Black, that it’s in the State’s interest that mandatory fees be regulated, the chances of the appeal not being heard arc greater. “The federal courts are much queasier about getting involved in that kind of question,” Black explained. Lippes estimated the appeal process would be concluded within six months. “Usually in the appellate courts it goes pretty quickly,” he said. Preneta MIXED BAG: Federal Judge John T. Curtin has ordered Buffalo's fifteen remaining all minority schools integrated, and the currant desegregation program dismantled. Curtin said that one aspect of the current program, the Quality Integrated Education plan, forces minority students to bear the brunt of the integration efforts.

Further complicating the decision to remove or fix the ceilings was the plan to relocate the Music Department in new Amherst facilities in about two years. signed a contract and expect quick completion of the project. The health danger associated with tiny asbestos fibers floating unseen in the air of the building’s basement was first exposed in the January 29, 1979 issue of The Spectrum. Investigations by the New York Public Interest Research Group (NYPIRG) revealed the carcinogenic material’s presence on campus. Asbestos was banned nationwide in 1973 as a building material upon the discovery that minimal amounts of microscopic particles of the substance, when lodged in the lungs, can cause mesothelioma—an incurable cancer. Asbestos has also been linked to cancers of the throat, stomach, colon and rectum. Relocation a factor The controversy and discussion aroused by the matter —and delaying corrective action—centered on the conviction that the level of concentration in the rooms had not been gauged. But reports stating that abnormal tissue growth such as a tumor can take up to 40 years to develop and that even However, according to Vice President for Finance and Management Edward Doty, an approximately $9500 contract was signed with Mader Tuesday Construction Corp. tostart ceiling work within ten days of the written negotiation. “Pressed board will be placed on top of the ceiling throughout that area,” Doty explained. “It won’t be as acoustically good as the asbestos, but it will function fine and should hold for the two years until the department moves.” No interruption Original plans called for removal or replacement during the summer months to avoid subjecting students or faculty to higher asbestos concentrations in the air caused by the work. An effort in February to seal the asbestos with a spray sealant drew harsh criticism. However, students and faculty members were greeted by the untouched ceilings, seemingly harmless in appearance, but now infamous for their dangerous effect. The only reason given for the work was delay sections,” he said, “allowing us to protect students, but maintaining the daily routine of the School.” Additionally, the work is now projected to be finished in about three days.

Student Representative to the College Council Michael Pierce walked into the year’s first meeting Friday with his usual brisk stride. However, Pierce, who is now serving his second year as the student delgate, came to the meeting with a little more enthusiasm than usual. This year, Michael Pierce will have a vote—a right he never had in the past. New York State Governor Hugh L. Carey signed into law on July 6 a bill granting full voting rights to the student representative to both the local College Council and the SUNY Board of Trustees. Previously, Pierce and other student delegates were members of their respective bodies, but hrid only a “non-voting” status. Last year, Pierce’s right to make motions was challenged by UB Council Chiarman Robert Millonzi. The challenge ws finally resolved, allowing him to propose and “second” motions, but still prohibiting him from v0Ghg on any of his proposals. s Newly-elected President of the Student Association of the State University (SASU) Sharon Ward termed the Governor’s action “a major step forward for student representation in New York.” SASU, which is a statewide lobbying organization comprised of representatives from various SUNY schools, was the main supporter of the bill and did extensile lobbying in Albany for its passage. Long overdue “Prior to the enactment of the bill, the student position sorelylacked the credibility it needed to affect any policy changes in the University,” Ward said. “Now the student representatives on the SUNY Board of Trustees and local University Councils will no longer be considered ‘second class’ citizens.” Ward is also the new student representative to the SUNY Board of Trustees. fierce related that he was “plesed, but not overjoyed” with the new voting rights, “It’s long overdue,” he said. “It’s what we have been saying all along—the idea that one elected member didn’t DELAWARE CAMERA MART HAS EVERYTHING YOU NEED FOR YOUR PHOTOGRAPHY COURSE PLUS L_.

He explained that students at UB have been pushing for this change for a long time, lobbying in Albany and pressuring the Council.

Feagens said that Dentistry has two years until the accreditation team returns, and they must have “some assurance from Albany that the State will allocate money for the new facilities.” In support, Ketter concluded that a three year program has been proposed for the school, with a first year budget request o.f $171,000.

OPEN THE DOOR TO BILINGUAL OPPORTUNITIES IN THE BUSINESS WORLD! i 4. ��I by Mare Sternum Environmental Editor A vial of low-levei radioactive liquid reported lost or stolen from the Main Street Campus by the University Radiation Protection Department has still not been found. According to Senior Radiation Safety Monitor Louis Henry, the principal hazard pOscd is the possibility of thyroid cancer if the material is ingested. State Radiological Health Specialist William J. O’Brien, concurred with that assessment, and is cooperating with the Radiation Department in an investigation. The vial was contained inside a triangular cardboard box, apparently inadvertently discarded by the Department of Microbiology in Sherman Hall on August 23. On that date, the material (sodium iodode 125) was hand delivered by the Radiation Department to the lab of Professor Diane Jacobs in the Department of Microbiology. The material is a tracing compound used by Jacob in her cancer research. Jacobs would not release the name of the technicians who opened and discarded the box. She said, “I take responsibility for Search for missing radioactive vial continues no leads my laboratory.” , The person who usually opens the regular deliveries of sodium iodide 125 was on vacation. The box was received and signed for by one lab technician, then opened by another authorized technician a female graduate student who is accustomed to handling radioactive materials. She removed one vial and discarded the box in a standard waste container, apparently with another vial still inside. The technician did not see the second vial. The discarded package was traced by the Radiation Department to a UB sanitation truck. The truck dumped its load in an isolated spot behind Bethune Hall, and its contents were searched. The package was found uncrushed in a sealed plastic bag, minus the vial. -- Rise in on-campus vandalism linked to student ‘frustration’ University Radiation Protection Manager Mark Fierro told The Spectrum, “This is the first time this has happened.” He explained that the package, sent by the British chemical company Amersham-Scerle, was shipped with two vials in two lead jars for the first time. Normally, two vials are contained in one lead jar. Fierro has notified the company, which said that in the future they will improve their package design to clearly designate its contents. Until then, Fierro has instructed his department to label all such boxes to ensure that researchers will know the package contents before opening it. In this particular case, the Radiation Protection Department verified in its inventory check that there were two vials inside the box. According to Henry, it is “standard procedure” for all incoming radioactive materials to be first received by his department, which checks each shipment for package contents and possible damage. An inventory control sheet is placed inside each package, and is delivered to any of the 100 labs on campus. Researchers who are authorized by the Radiation Department to handle radioactive materials also maintain an active inventory control list. The amount of sodium iodide 125 was 10 microliters, or less than an eyedrop. It has a half-life of about 60 days. One general rule is that the material would be safe after seven half-lives, but the decay varies with the type and amount of material. University Public Safety Director Lee Griffen told The Spectrum, “We‘U stay on the case until we’ve exhausted every possibility.” All of those involved in the investigation expressed a firm desire to prevent future occurrences of lost radiactive material. According to Pierro, it is unlikely the vial is still on campus. “Either it was in the trash and incinerated in the Town of Tonawanda, or it was stolen,” he said. Pierro commented, “We can’t think of any reason why the vial would be stolen, and it’s most likely the vial was in the trash.” kind of vandalsim, he points the finger “at the motivation, rather than fault." Much of the damage, due to “sittingduck” placement of articles, can be easily preducted, he claims. Frustration and impotence Seidel feels that traditional antivandalism responses, which he terms “target hardening,” apply only to the small percentage of malicious offenders and will ultimately fail. Methods of this kind —such as stepped-up police supervision, poster campaigns and ' Contributing Editor Intense anti-vandalism activity by the University Police and the Department of Housing this last school year flopped—more than twice the dollar amount of University property was stolen, battered, sprayed on and generally abused,than the year before, according to the University Housing office. Still aspiring to come up with a plan to inhibit the property damage successfully, which last year in the residence halls alone totalled more than $70,000, a committee of dormitory and University housing officials is gathering. Head committee organizer Pete Nyland is looking for a “positive approach,” centering on “poster campaigns and giving the residence halls a more homey look, by decorating the lounges, for example.” Last year, increased University police supervision and more “bouncers” were added in the Wilkeson pub—a prime ) target for vandalism. UB Professor of Psychology Andrew Seidel, who recently completed a 300-page study on vandalism in junior collegles and high schools, also believes that the grossly misdesigned buildings are a main target for vandalims at UB. He rejects, however, the contention that most of the vandalism is malicious. Wear and tear “Much of the damage is just due to wear and tear,” he notes, “at the places where students like to hang out.” A lot of the damage to rugs, furniture and air conditioners, he noted, occurs over a long period of time. The key, he suggests, would be better design of areas where “students tend to hang out.” The Pub, for example, was designed to be a cafeteria, not to withstand “rowdy” intoxicated 19 ~~ ism. behavior associated with a typical student bar. He cited elevators as another prime example. Students spend a lot of time in them with nothing to do except, Seidel theorizes, “fiddle about.” In fact, over S20,000 of damage was inflicted on dormitory elevators last year. While Seidel certainly does not condone any Danford but only partially. physical environment would deter the amount of abuse to furniture, walls and the like, he contends that student aggression would find an outlet elsewhere, perhaps in the form of fights or rapes. This is so, Danford believes, because vandalism is rooted in general university-related feelings of frustration and impotence. “It’s a way of saying ‘to hell with the system’,” he speculated. While Danford thinks that the personalization of student living spaces would be profound help, he does not have much hope for its implementation. “The design of Ellicott doesn’t even allow for personalization,” he says. encouraging peer pressure—arc just not attacking the real problem, he said. Redesigning the physical environment realistically reassessing how students naturally tend to use it would be far more effective, he asserted.

A window at Ellicott (one of 78 different styles in the single building) might cost $420 instead of $75 for a comparable window in Goodyear Hall, Boyce said. Many nonessential items, however, such as lounge drapes, which are damaged or stolen, cannot be replaced. “We just can’t afford it,” Assistant Vice President for Housing Len Snyder explained. University officials said dorm parties often result in damage. Director of Public Safety Lee Griffin would like to see more of the dorm parties moved out of the dorms to another location, for example, Capen Hall. Outside of the dormitories, he said, the police can supervise the parties hlore directly. Since party-sponsoring groups cannot blame the general student body for damage if it occurs in a controlled, nonresidential area, the groups themselves could be assessed the cost of property destruction, Griffin noted. i by Robert G.

The rumor that Baird Hall's asbestos ceilings wHI finally be safely sealed—to protect the building's occupants from potential health hazards—is good news, but should be taken with a dose of doubt. You see, although University officials suggest that the asbestos ceilings could be safely covered with pressboard within ten days, we will wait until the reparations are completed before we feel that Music students can breathe safely. Since January, University officials have hedged and hooted, offered excuses and more excuses, promised results and still nothing Since last January when The Spectrum first reported the presence of asbestos in Baird Hall, University officials have treated the community's concern as if it were a little boy crying wolf in the midst of the forest. Members of the Now York Public Interest Research Group (NYPIRG) had been asked to demonstrate—and scientifically prove—that a potential health Music students were virtually left no choice but to carry their instruments to President Ketter's office last spring and play their song of discontent. When an office receives a phone call, and the caller threatens that a bomb has been placed in the building, its occupants are asked to leave. However, when there is the tiniest shred of evidence that a bomb is in the building, they are ordered to evacuate. There is more than a tiny shred of evidence that Baird Hall's asbestos is potentially dangerous. The hazard was supposed to be rectified over the summer. It wasn't. Now it's supposed to be done—and mind you, in only three days. We view this new revelation with as much cynicism as we view the University’s failure to appropriately handle the whole controversy. No, don'tread us incorrectly. If and when the asbestos is finally contained, preferably in three days— not two weeks as once estimated —we will once again breathe safely. But until then, we will treat the University's most recent promise as just another rumor. ... One voice Saturday s football game and Fallfest, besides being just another good party, is a clear example of the power of collectivity. Specifically, students' mandatory activity fee money is collected and $247,000 is distributed to the University's athletics program. Approximately $300,000 of student money is allocated to Sub-Board, the student service's corporation. And Sub-Board, in conjuction with the Student Association and the Alumni Association, was responsible , for Fallfest. But the power of collectivity is by no means limited to student's ability to pool their money. When students speak with one voice they represent a powerful lobbying organization —and a voice that has the backing of 25,000 people carries a lot of weight. Similary, students can merge their power with other campus groups-and effectively alter the decisions that all too often seep from behind closed doors. One of the most pressing issues on campus is the evaluation of President Robert Ketter. Under old guidelines, Ketter was to be evaluated by a committee comprised of representatives of the Student Senate, Faculty Senate, Professional Staff Senate, College Cpuncil, and University Administration. New guidelines eliminate this committee and call for another one —comprised of three presidents from outside the SUNY system—to evaluate Ketter. Students and other members of the University community should protect their rights by organizing a campus-based evaluation committee. The only way to protect ourselves from the theft of our power is to present a uniformed front. Furthermore, it will be hard to ignore an accurate and extensive evaluation of the University President conducted by a University Committee. Only through the use of collective power can we alter what is ours to change. The Spectrum ' -ffl* ****** iiav ivxneg* jtZjM to ;.«orlt oi*WR0$V»;1A September 1979 Editor-in-Chief Daniel S.

If you were lucky enough to be on the guest list if you were a regular, or “Eureka”, you happened to be a high profile celebrity, it was a cinch. A nod from one of the discerning maitre ‘d*s would part the sea of thronging urban punkers and suburban pseudopunkers as sure as Aaron’s fod allowed Moses to separate the waters of the Red Sea. At the gates of heaven, you sign your name and that’s right address, on a sheet of white tablet and dance to the throbbing rhythms of the New Wave. And even if you didn’t bump into David Johansen, you could tell your googooeyed friends that you had been to the Mudd Club. But woe ta those who couldn’t fill the bill. Most of us common peasants would have to wait patiently outside and if we exuded the appropriate poi$e (being comely and female helped) or were dressed outlandishly enough, then we might be granted the supreme honor of joining the elite inside this illicit loft club. The manager of the Mudd Club told a reporter that he was looking for the “Funky Lower East Side Type”(FLEST), a species he neglected to define, if in fact it is definable. Well, if the number of sleek caddy limos parked outside is any barometer, then the FLESTs are a helluva lot more affluent than anyone knows. If not, then someone out there is making a bonanza on black market FLEST IDs in Westchester, New Jersey, Long Island and the Upper East Side. New Wave is being coopted into Mainstream pop (witness The Knack), so why not bring Studio 54 elitism downtown. Anyone can play the game these days, even punks. You might explain the Mudd Club phenomenon as anarchism turned inside out: Fuck anarchism, let’s have inverted anarchism and be utterly anarchistic—let’s be elitists. Or one can view it all with jaded cynicism and condemn it for what it is. I stood across the street, with a couple of buddies, musing -on this pretentious tableau and suddenly the words began tumbling out. As rage and scorn gnawed at my gut, I began singing in very loud tones, Joe Jackson’s “Gotta Look Sharp.” As several heads turned and a few more million molecules of ethyl alcohol plied their way through my brain capillaries, I ranted, “Hey what happened to punky attitude. Damn, look at yourselves, you look like a lobotomized crew of Studio 54 discoids. Oh please let me in. I’ve got five-colored hair and a new $200 pair of Gucci black leather pants. “And if you were real punks you’d do one for Sid, you’d crash those gates of oppression and kick the shit out of the Ramones.” Wafir Sodium vapor illuminated faces registering indignant surprise. Another crazy asshole, they seemed to say. A few applauded, a couple yelled “asshole,” and then quickly retreated into the crowds. “Of course I’m an asshole,” I retorted, “why else would I be standing out here with the rest of you assholes, another pathetic Mudd Club reject? Well, my stint as Marc Antony didn’t incite the desired riot. Oh, it was ftm being an intimidating cuss but I’m sure most of my audience forgot about the whole affair rather quickly. Some of them may have felt a little uptight but most probably couldn”t give a shit if they were hypocrites or not. I pondered those sentiments of alienation and rebellion that supposedly drive the New Wave, and then L considered the panorama of these pathetic Me Generation sheep—it was nauseating. The craving to be chic and desirable is ubiquitous, even among these so-called punks. If you can’t get into Studio 54, you still have the option of purchasing the record; although I’ve heard they’re now screening prospective buyers at some stores. Look, chicism makes for spectacular business, everyone wants to go where they probably won’t get in. Shut the doors, create an antificial demand and then watch the clamoring crowds swell. You gotta hand it to Steve Rubell, he hands Us self-abasement and we eat it up. Decadence is a great pasttime for an affluent, full-stomached people. The alternative is boredom.

Wmtri&Wte • �■ feedback Violated freedom As a member of the class of ’79,1 feel compelled to write this letter with the hope that it will better inform UB students of some disturbing facts relative to certain injustices levied at this institution. First, for those who may not be aware of the controversy concerning compulsory payment for abortion coverage in the Student Health Insurance plan, let me state the facts: Fact: Some type of health insurance is mandatory for each student attending this University. Fact: The University (via Sub Board I) offers a student health insurance plan. The price of this plan is a bargain in that comparable coverage would cost at least twice as much if thi student were to seek it individiually. Fact: In 1977, Sub Board voted to increase the cost of the insurance by one dollar to include abortion coverage. Fact: The student who chooses to take the low-cost insurance must pay for abortion coverage, even if he or she finds it morally objectionable. Fact: The student who finds it morally objectional to pay for abortion coverage has two choices: pay more for other insurance (which might not be feasible if the individual is a poor person) or pay for the abortion coverage, thus compromising his or her beliefs. Fact: The insurance company which supplies the low-coSt plan was willing to implement a system whereby students who object to paying for abortion coverage would be permitted to strike the abortion clause from their policies and receive a one-dollar refund, in no way affecting either the availability or the cost of the coverage for those who desire it. Fact: 80 percent of the students who had the low-cost health insurance last year and more than 83 percent of the University students at large either favored making the abortion coverage optional or else wanted it eliminated entirely. (These figures are from a random survey on health insurance conducted by the SUNYAB President’s Advisory Committee on Health Insurance.) Fact: The “President’s Committee’’ which conducted this survey voted, to continue the compulsory payment of abortion coverage in the policy, against the wishes of the overwhelming majority of the students. ' Fact: Sub Board I did not even care to wait to see what the wishes of the student body were—it voted to continue the compulsory payment policy just a few weeks before the survey results were completed, thus forcing its beliefs on all, regardless of the wishes of the student body. Fact: Before the survey was taken. The Spectrum did not report the survey results which reveal that the actual minority of students in this case (less than 1 in 9) are those who want to keep abortion coverage compulsory for all who choose to partake of the insurance. Fact: Sub Board 1 (a student government-run organization) and the President’s Advisory Committee on Health Insurance have chosen to ride rough-shod over the rights of many students and the wishes of the majority of the student body. Fact: The Spectrum either was unable to determine how the student body feels on this issue or else chos£ to mask the truth. In cither case, one must doubt the ability and/or integrity of this organ to serve the best intersts of the students at large. Drawing the logical conclusions from the facts, it is obvious that the student and administrative bureaucracies at this educational institution is more insentive to individual rights and desires than Albany or Washington. I felt that I had as much right to the low-cost health insurance as anyone else. This, coupled with my financial need prompted me to take the lowcost insurance, hoping that someone would do something about the injustice of this situation. I tried to withhold my dollar but was notified by the Office of Student Accounts that 1 would not receive my degree nor my transcripts unless I paid. This unfortunate circumstance befell me because organizations such as those mentioned above ignored my rights as a person and were irresponsible to the wishes of the majority of the students at this University. As I leave UB, I truly hope, that fewer deserved freedoms will be violated in the future, yet past experience tells me that these student politicians and bureaucrats will get away with whatever they can until the student population forces them to act responsibly. Sincerely, The ftMowing is a copy Eugene M. Fahey. time now, but sir, one issue does not an election make. Speaking truthfully (and from the inside), 1 can say that the entire sUff of 3405 Bailey has been doing its utmost to make sure that the area residents are not disturbed or harassed in any way. I regret. Councilman, that we cannot be responsible 24 hours a day and pick up every bit of debris dropped by any passing pedestrian, but we are cleaning up after our own. For this I thank you. for it was through your efforts that we were made more aware of our neighbors. But, Mr. Fahey, 1 think you are carrying this a bit too far. Already, as a result of your adverse publicity, I have been working half as much as I used to, and I know this condition is typical of all my fellow employees. Please, Councilman Fahey, give us a chance. Given the opportunity we could prove ourselves to be good neighbors. If you continue on your current course of action, I’m afriad that all youy will accomplish is the unemloyment ofalmost 100 people, for the atmosphere of the area will not be changed very noticeably. The Bailey-Kensington area is progressing economically, and while 1 appreciate the fact that "growing pains” are going to be presented, I do not think it is fair for one business to bear the brunt of them. Councilman Fahey and members of the Rounds Committee, please let me keep my job. I would rather work with the community and build the area then sitting idly back, collecting unemployment and watching the city go further into decline. Perhaps if we join together we can help improve the area even more. If not. well, what’s another boarded-up building in Buffalo? Sincerely, Christine MUliron Joseph A. Walter For UB administrators To the Editor: “The GSA voted to oppse an option and if you want 1 to join the GSA you must agree with its policies. That Finn, of the Graduate president was how Joyce Student Association expressed her opposition to recognizing the Rights of Conscience Group. Putting it ' “I don’t think we should'give them a soapbox on campus to push their issues.’’ That was how Student Assodtion President Joel Mayersohn declared his opposition to giving the University of Buffalo Rights of Conscience Group official recognition at an SA, exedcutive commute meeting July 23. Recognition is important because according to University Rules and Regulations, “Only officially recognized student may reserve space, rooms, and organizations facilities in Squire Hall.” The Executive Committee had no quorum so the matter could not be decided, but Mayersohn spoke his mind freely. The UB Rights of Conscience Group is involved in an effort to make, abortion coverage in the University’s mandatory student health insurance optional because forced payment violates the rights of conscience of many students. A random sample survey of student opinion taken last spring by the President’s Health Advisory Committee found that over 80 percent of students believe either that the coverage should not be in the policy or it should be made optional. But Mayersohn is among those student government officials opposed to any option, and he clearly allows his views on this issue to affect his views and decisions on whether the Rights of Conscience Group will be given the recognition it needs for the exercise of its basic rights of free speech and assembly—its “soapbox rights.” At one point in the meeting he declared, “You’re a political group. We can’t recognize political groups.” It was pointed out to him that the application for recognitionhas a section for “Political Groups,” and that NYPTRG, the Ralph Nader inspired campus Public Interest Research Group which lobbies for legislation, is not only recognized by the SA but receives funds from it. The Rights of Conscience Group is seeking recognition in the non-funding group category. Mayersohn made no answer. . ■ . ‘ another way, GSA officer, Zenebe Rifle said, “We only recognize progressive groups.’* The GSA vote to oppose an option was 24—19. Asked if those 19 have been asked to leave the GSA, Finn made no answer. Again the Rights of Conscience Group is not asking for voting membership; only department groups vote in the GSA. Nor is it seeking funds. It seeks only the recognition needed to exercise on campus its basic freedom of speech and assembly. But Finn maintains that since anyone is free to meet off campus then no rights are being denied anyone here. For these student government officials to let their personal view* affect their decisions oo whether student groups will enjoy their dvfl rights oa this campus takes a certain kind of arrogance that is all too common in thdr corner of Talbot Hall. They do not seem to feel at all that they have been given a trust, that they are there to defend not to obstruct students in the exercise of their rights. This is so basic that it it hard to imagine their state of mind. When and where did they forget what they learned about civil liberties? Groups with the most extreme designs for society have their rights in America. As it happens the immediate goal of the UB Rights of Conscience Croup is a reasonable one. We seek only the establishment here of the same policy which Harvard University has—the making of abortion coverage optional in the mandatory student health plan for those students who in conscience object to abortion. Groups whose views are held by the most miniscule minorities have their rights in America. As it is the views advanced by the UB Rights ofConscience Group are favored by the overwhelming majority of UB students. But in the minds of some of this University’s student leaders groups have rights here according to their will. to Councilman 1 am an employee of The Stacks Bar on Bailey Avenue.

And if you took a closer look at the frustration which breeds there after AVi hours of waiting and waiting to be given the privilege of adding or dropping a course (if the terminal doesn’t first shut down). And if you’d consider that for each student standing there, the idea of transfering to a school with a more organized and a less dehumanizing system, becomes a real temptation. Especially after AVi hours of thinking about transferring, it seems like the only sane alternative to this absurd system.

This Fall, with the reaffirmation of the r. .g Springer Report, course credit and classroom contact § hours are being equated. Thus, many students will be 5 taking five rather than four courses as a standard semester norm. Class size, bus time and schedules, teaching effectiveness, educational merit of the switch are all questions that remain to be answered. In conjunction with this major academic revamping lurks Vice President for Academic Affairs Ronald Bunn’s proposed five-year plan. The University has been without a comprehensive academic planning document for years. Bunn’s plan is designed to provide | the University with a sense of direction: which areas will receive additional funding: which programs will be slashed altogether or gradually phased out; which areas should the University re-invest in; and how will this affect both undergraduate and graduate education. Whether his plan will provide this sense of direction is tied to a variety of factors. First, it wil be a major task to mesh this document with the changes mandated by the implementation of the Springer Report. Secondly, increasing student drop-out rates, possible retrenchment, changing student demand for various programs, and decresed funding are all likely to dampen the success of Bunn’s Academic Plan. o Host of barriers The Faculty Senate Committee on General Education is conducting perhaps the most important debate encompassing the topic of academics here. In opting to educate students with more breadth and less depth, the General Education committee is currently in the process of altering degree requirements, designing subject cores to fit various program requirements* and questioning the measures of academic quality. These issues, which will also have to be juxtaposed with the Springer Report and the Academic Plan, are currently slated to be resolved by next Fall. Thus, the class of freshmen entering this University in Fall 1981 will be entering a new UB. But the Committee has run into a host of barriers, including certain faculty’s reluctance to support a Gen Ed document at all. The Gen Ed committee is scheduled to appear before the Faculty Senate in October and many speculate that its implementation date will be postponed. Real Issues Regardless, the debate surrounding General Education and what the University’s focus should be, is a debate that will touch on student and faculty policies and goals with the heat of a branding iron on calf’s backside. The mark it will leave on UB education is perhaps more telling than any other previously formulated academic planning document. The State University of New York at Buffalo is more than an institution. It is a community and it is a part of many broader communities. The effects this University has on the people who attend as well as the people it touches are the real issues. It is these issues that will be shaped and guided by the preceding problems, solutions, and goals. It is this year where many of these factors will be settled. It should prove to be an interesting year. . . Rll SR funded clubs and organizations NSM-135 • HORIZONS OF THE SCIENCES • / »- ; * YOU musi 1.0 Cr. Hr.,Tues., 4 4:50 pm 218 Norton Hall, Amherst.

Maggiotto City Editor Buffalo voters will be heading to the polls tomorrow for primary elections, but the elections are overshadowed by the New York State Board of Elections’ investigations of petition fraud. Going into its sixth week, the State investigation has impounded the petitions of 11 candidates and issued over 50 subpoenas. The election-fraud probe was triggered when petitions of Fillmore District Councilwoman Shirley Stolarski were discovered to be photocopied. Stolarski admitted to tracing nearly 2500 of nearly 10,000 signatures she submitted as a Democratic candidate for the C<ty Council presidency. Stolarski claims the photocopying and tracing of her petitions were done to change a technical defect in their heading, but has denied using copies of signatures gathered from other Council candidates’ petitions. Other candidates whose petitions have been impounded are: Judges Herbert R. Johnston and Timothy Drury seeking, full terms for City Court; Council President Delmar L. Mitchell: City Comptroller Robert E. Whelan and Council candidates Joel A. Giambra and incumbent Elizabeth Sole, Niagara District; William A. Smith, University District; Arthur Gospadarski, Fillmore District; Daniel T. Quidder, incumbent North District; incumbent Anthony M. Masiello and Gerald Whelan Councilman at-large, GHffln’s support While the state investigation of alleged fraud centers on possible criminal violations, Councilwoman Stolarski’s petitions have already been invalidated in a civil suit brought by her opponent, Delmar Mitchell, the DemocraticRepublican-Liberal endorsed candidate for the Council presidency. In that suit, a State Supreme Court Judge voided Stolarski’s petitions “as a matter of law” on the grounds they were permeated with fraud. The petitions of University Councilman Eugene M. Fahey’s opponent, William A. Smith, have also been invalidated in a suit brought by Fahey. Both Stolarski and Smith are backed by Buffalo Paralegal in Group Legal Service’s Newprogram?

Stolarski accused the State' Election Board of “fluffing off” close scrutiny of candidates backed by Erie County Democratic Chairman Joseph P. Cranglc’s political organization, but going “hog wild” on “independents” like herself. She claims her own search has uncovered 2000 irregularities in “organization” petitions. DA’s business? After being requested by the investigation to “produce all records including financial campaign statements,” the Fillmore Councilwoman and her father, Brownie Stolarski—a Buffalo employee at the City’s Seneca Street Garage—invoked the Fifth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution. Dependent upon consensus of Erie County District Attorney Edward C. Cosgrove, the State board has voted to grant immunity to a Comprehensive Employment and Training Act (CETA) employee who allegedly photocopied some of the petitions under investigation. Eight employees of Mr. Copy have also beeh interviewed by the investigators. The involvement of a CETA employee has spurred officials of JUDAISM TODAY' 3 Introductory Courses for Credit in conjunction with the Religious Studies Program the. U.S. Labor Department to begin its own investigation of possible violations of Federal laws and regulations which prohibit using CETA workers for political activity. When the State probe is finally completed, the investigators will file a report with the legal counsel aAd Executive Director of the State Board of Elections. They in turn will submit the report to the four member bipartisan Board of Elections.

After Najuch w line of scrimmage, running comfortably streaked an opening I After almost three quarters of lackluster football, the Bulls managed to find themselves in a 13—0 hole to the visiting Red Dragons. It took the combination of backup quarterback Ray. Larson and flanker Frank Price to bring the Bulls back to life in the closing period. With a little help from the offensive line and an improved running game, Larson’s seemingly inspired passing arm broke Cortland’s strangling defense just in time to pull off a dramatic comeback win. “The whole offense came through when they had to,” related Brian Wilson, a key part of that offense at the left tackle position. Wilson’s unit did not get rolling until the second, half, the lackadaisical first half performance, the reason manymelieve Larson replaced quarterback Jim Rodriguez’ tq begin the third quarter. “We were just slow in the first half,” the lineman expalined. “We weren’t getting off the ball well. But then we pulled everything together, we held that block a little longer, and it paid off. Sure feels good to win.” The feeling of victory is what every athlete strives for, and something that the coach can share in. “We just went out and played hard football,” assessed Bulls’ mentor Bill Dando. “The story of the first half was ‘three downs and punt’ but the second half was a big difference. 1 felt Rodriguez was having a tough time, so I put Ray in to give him a shot, and he did a EVERYBODY WAS THERE: "Buffalo Bob" Ketter and wife Lolly (upper right) enjoyed the Bulls' win, and so did the rest of the crowd (bottom) can you find anyone you know? Coach Dando (above) seems concerned, while UB running back Tim Najuch (upper left) just wants to clear the way for his quarterback Ray Larson. — - Two quarterbacks, two halves way to being Buffalo’s firstRay Larson was on his string quarterback in 1977 when a broken collarbone during pre-season finished the infant season for him. He bent down cringing from the pain searing through his upper body as the humidity-soaked practice suddenly whistled to an end for the highly regarded freshman. A year later Larson, out of football for an entire season, found himself dressed in a thre piece suit, shuffling papers while underwriting insurance. In his absence, UB found its quarterback. He’s a lean, elastic-armed righty named Jim Rodriguez. In 1978, Rodriguez rewrote seven passing records for the Bulls, and there was no question that the Grand Island resident would start at quarterback Saturday when the Cortland Red Dragons kicked off with Buffalo. Early in the game it was evident Rodriguez simply was not able to run the UB offense with any success. For an entire half he struggled—wobbling his way to a horrible minus-three yards passing. Larson stripped off his windbreaker as he trotted on to the field to orchestrate the second stanza. When the . Buffalo offense marched on the field, Larson led the charge. After two years in the waiting, the anxious quarterback made his debut. * V Gradually, Larson gained confidence in himself as the third quarter ticked away. .When the period came to an end, Larson had the Bulls knocking on the Cortland end zone—one play later he handed off to fullback Tim Najuch for the score. From that moment on the Bulls owned the game. On the next series, Larson floated the ball onto the fingertips of Frank Price for the go-ahead score, Coach Bill Dando reports Rodriguez is still his number one signal caller. “Yes Jimmy had a bad day,” Dando acknowledged. “But he’s had too many good days to let one ruin it. He could go up to Jon Carroll (College] next week and go 40 for 40,” said Dando. Dando compared Larson’s role in the opening victory to that of a relief pitcher in baseball. Rodriguez, he said, was no different than the starting pitcher who leaves his fastball in the bullpen. Rodriguez stood on the sidelines throughout the second half, either communicating with the coaches above the press box, or tutoring Larson on offense. His mind was apparently on the status of the game, not his statistics. Larson applauded him for the help he offered. Jim Rodriguez really might go 40 for 40 next week. —David Davidson "<sr w*? >/ ill# *islc3t * j v )JlflT fcb> �y i COLLEGE H Course Openings: 3 ATTENTION Writers wanted, no previous experience necessary CH 225 The Family-Tu 6:50 9:20 pm Talbert 211, Reg.

Pawlik’s conversion put Buffalo in the lead to stay at 14—13. His kick proved to be the edge, but Pawluk confessed that he ws not nervous as he prepared to split the uprights. “That happened to me last year. I’d look at the stands and get nervous, but this year I’m relaxed. The hard job is to get the ball there; kicking it is easy,’’ Pawluk said convincingly.

The number one recommendation in this category was that faculty and administrators strive to be more “visible and accessible to students.” ? Fierce competition The Study Group also emphasized imporovements in the “physical environment” of the campus. Many of these suggestions were grouped under the highly desirable category—including landscaping, redesign of the residence Kails, and the return of residential space presently occupied by offices. tKe SA Book ExcKange One key recommendation, ranked a relatively high 16 in the essential category, probed the detrimental effect of fierce academic, competition on keeping students enrolled here. The Study Group noted that many academically qualified students drop out because they cannot get into the department or professional school of their choice. It suggested an in-depth study of academic opportunities here as well as of competition for limited openings between enrolled students and transfer students who are, according to the report, “currently accorded preference for some upper-divisional admissions.” The Group also criticized attempts to up enrollment by admitting more students. More students, it noted, increase competition and depress morale. The report terms the attitude that attrition is unrelated to enrollment and admissions a “fallacy. 219 Squire-Main St. Campus -WED, SEPT 5TH THRU THURS SEPT 13 PICK UP UNSOLD BOOKS & The noticeable absence of a centralized student union is, as the Study Group noted, a prime Concern of many students. This concern is accented by the knowledge that, within a few years, the Dental School will move into Squire Hall on the Main Street Campus, evicting those student organizations centered there. As of now, there is no room in Talbert Hall on the Amherst Campus, where the student governments occupy cramped offices. The small student activities building slated for construction will only house some organizations, prolonging the splintering of student groups by physical distance. —-—- NEED EXTRA CASH BOOKS WILL BE SOLD FROM In a letter to Vice President for Student Affairs Richard Siggelkow, who chaired the Study Group, Ketter described the recommendations as ranging from “the generic to the highly specific.” He noted that some “speak to refining efforts already in place,” while “others may require funding which is unavailable.” Splintering students Stop Up To 356 Squire Hall BRING IN BOOKS TO BE SOLD: a time when enrollments—and, therefore, The building of a student union on the Amherst Campus rated 24th out of the 59 essential recommendations. or to at funding—have been slipping nationwide.

But concern about the weather is minor in comparison with past crises leaving much of Amherst’s future in doubt. A The campus was born out of a political controversy over its location. Two choices visitors. Managing Editor The Amherst Campus has been tempermental during its ten year journey from swampland towards the educational and architectural nirvana once envisioned. Staggering out of a depressing two and onehalf year construction freeze in 1977, it seemed to wander aimlessly until last Spring, when construction lurched ahead on six new buildings. This past summer, the building increased at an encouraging rate, with roadwork and underground utility lines keeping pace. Two of the six buildings will serve the School of Engineering, primarily the Departments of Mechanical and Civil Engineering. They mirror the concrete patchwork design of their neighbors. Bell and Furtas Halls. Bell Hall provides classroom and office space but not the necessary laboratories. 1 Fumas Hall houses some laboratories. According to Vice President for Facilities Planning John Neal, the new additions, scheduled for completion late in Fall 1980, will provide additional labs including some more specialized ones—such as a vibrations testing lab. Two more Engineering buildings are eventually planned, Neal said, including one containing special equipment for the Department of Electrical Engineering. The State has not committed funds for these structures. Many concerns The new Engineering buildings are visible from the ground level, but to get a sense of the other buildings under construction, a “bird’s eye view” is helful. To provide this, Neal has devised a walking “tour” for The tour begins in his fifth floor Capen Hall office. One of four new parking lots is clearly seen from there. Neal estimates that each lot will accomodate 400 to 500 cars. Lack of parking space has been a common complaint, but Neal thinks the additional lots “will solve the parking problem for the next four or five years.” He caufioned that the distances from buildings to lots will not be shortened. To build a building It’s a long and winding road Raising a building from blueprint to reality in the SUNY system involves more than nuts and bolts. Even drawing it from conception to blueprint requries a series of bureaucratic maneuvers. v- . First, the New York State Legislature must okay funds for a building’s design—not construction, just design. Once the request for design funds makes it through the Legislature, the Governor must give his approval. Then the Division of Budget must release the funds. From there, the State negotiates a design contract from architectural firms, many of which have samples of their work on file with the State. If that company has a good track record, it is awarded the contract. Building design is a complex process, ranging from 18 to 24 months—sometimes taking longer than the actual construction of the building. It encompasses everything from space usage, wiring, aesthetic appeal, pedestrian traffic, right down to the doorknobs But the building is still in the “design stage.” Before construction can begin, the entire process of securing money must be repeated. The request for construction funds - must..follow the well-worn but often rough path through the State Asembly, Senate, the Governor's Next the State announces it is opening bids for the construction. The proposals of the low bidder are examined by Albany and the architectural firm to ensure that they meet design specifications. If not, the next highest bidder is checked out. But if the lowest bid turns out to be higher than the amount allocated by the State, the process starts all over again. Occasionally, various aspects of the building, such as the plumbing, arc awarded to different contractors. Each demands a bidding process all its own. Finally—barring any unforseen Albany action—the building is named but that’s another story.

Politicians aligned themselves on either side and the Amherst site survived the battle of competing interests. In early 1969, construction of the infant campus stalled for 11 months under charges that the campus was being built by a “lily white” work force. Governor Nelson Rockefeller agreed to a construction- moritorium until minority workers and firms could be guaranteed a stake in the construction gold mine. The moritorium was lifted in Feburary 1970 after Rockefeller issued a-heavily criticized affirmative action plan. In Spring 1974, close to S4 million was slashed from Amherst construction funds for the following year. This announcement foreshadowed the Statewide freeze on construction which began in October 1975. High interest rates on the bonds used to finance construction and New York City’s financial collapse contributed to the stoppage. The freeze melted under heat from student groups, the Professional and Faculty Senates, President Robert L. Ketter, area politicians and local contractors—who stressed the relationship between Amherst construction and the Western New York economy. Although Albany could theoretically freeze construction again at any time, the six new buildings are considered “safe” since the foundations have been laid. The next building on Neal’s guided tour yvill house six lecture halls. The largest of the six, slated to open in early 1981, will hold about 500 students. Rooms with capacity for over 100 students are scarce on the Amherst Campus, forcing departments located at Amherst to hold large lectures on the Main Street Campus while students and professors —continued on page 18— �\ I Construction from pag« 17— 1 spend even more time on inter-campus buses. The lecture building will be attached to Norton Hal). From its second-floor windows, visitors can see the beginning of two octagonshaped rooms clearly emerging from the concrete and steel. Open up From the ground between Norton and O’Brien Hall, the lecture halls look like a jumble of beams. Neal explained that the square between Norton and Baldy is one of the most treacherous spots on campus in the winter, and that a pedestrian bridge is slated to connect the two late this Fall. More of the campus construction can be glimpsed from the seventh floor of O’Brien, but the clearest view is found at the top floor of Clemens Hall. Seen straight down from the tenth floor, the music building begins to take shape. This structure, to be joined to Clemens by a glass-enclosed bridge, will provide the Music Department with classroom, offices and rehearsal rooms. A chamber hall, rising next to the music building, will accommodate 700 spectator when completed in mid-1981. Under the foundations of the two music buildings, workers are putting the finishing touches on the underground electrical system. Neal said the system will “open up Phase II is only in the design stage and will remain there for about a year, according to Neal.

Now, lecture halls holding more than 100 students ere rare, so large lectures must be held on Main the southeast quadrant" of the campus and provide utilities for many new buildings. In that southeast quadrant lie the beginnings of what many students consider a key project—called Phase I by building officials. Phase I translates into lockers, offices and a 10,000 seat feildhouse. But a fieldhouse is not a gym. It is also not a pool, These will come later, in the form of phase II. The fieldhouse should be completed in 1982; Street, The only recreation facilities currently available to the nearly 25,000 students at this University are Clark Gym on Main St.—built in 1932 to handle 3,000 people—and the Amherst bubble. The original bubble is nearing the end of its predicted life span, but a twin will be inflated this year. A contract should be awarded on the new bubble within three to four months, Neal said. The second bubble will occupy one of the parking lots near the Porter quad of the Ellicott Commplex, Neal noted, and will be accessible to the handicapped. Eight outdoor playing fields—including some for football, baseball, and soccer—are scheduled to be completed during Phase I. The fields will be across from what is now Millersport Highway, which will eventually become a campus road. During the past summer, the new section of Millersport was paved. The fields will be tucked inside this large white loop. With four more buildings—Social Sciences, student activities, Phase II and a computer center—to be added, the end of the road for the Amherst may be in sight. LUCIAN C.

Current capital markets are tight, and Federal subsidies—at the taxpayer’s expense—might be necessary to augment coal production. by Marc Sherman Environmental Editor ‘Lost cause* Besides expense, there are transportation problems. The western states, leaders in coal mining, must ship the coal to industrial markets in the East. Most coal is shipped by rail, and the Department of Transportation estimates that it will cost S10 billion to improve antiquated railroads. Trucks which carry coal from the mines to the railroads often travel on old rural roads which need new Americans have recently realized, especially after steaming in long gas lines, that industrial society is excessively dependent on petroleum. National attention has been focused on finding alternatives to fuel transportation, agriculture, and the generation of electricity. Coal is the prime contender for producing electricity and “synfuels,” the man-made derivation of oil and gas from coal. But coal poses many problems, both in economic feasibility and political maneuvering. Dependence on coal to fuel power plants should broaden in the next decade, while the utilities’ dependence on oil will drop. Tony Anthony of the National Coal Association told The Spectrum that “255 new coal-fired power plant units are projected for the next ten years,” whereas there are only eighteen oil-fired units planned. The future of nuclear power plants is uncertain due to the post Three Mile Island construction moratorium on new nuclear plants. '* grading. An alternative to rail shipment is the coal slurry pipeline, which carries crushed coal in water. However, the West has severe water problems, embroiling farmers, ranchers, municipalities, and industries in a bitter battle over scarce water supplies and government water projects. Currently there is a pipeline planned that would transport coal by slurry from Wyoming to Louisiana. High cost The Carter administration has urged many utilities and industries to convert their oil-fired plants to coal, in line with its emphasis on utilizing America’s vast coal reserves to ease the nation’s dependence on foreign oil sources. Opposition to coal conversion is based on the advantages of oil—oil is easier to transport, complies with air pollution laws without expensive anti-pollution devices, needs less space to store and bum, and is more sr heat efficient in relation to bulk. According to Anthony, “Coal conversion has simply not been economic.” In August, President Carter proposed an ambitious $88 billion synfuel program over the next ten years. Congress and the media generally have not supported the proposal—which many view as too costly for the limited relief it will provide. Anthony sees coal conversion of oil or nuclear plants as a “lost cause,” and suggests co-generation, which relics on coal or oil, as the best alternative for energy efficiency in older plants. Cogeneration is the simultaneous production of industrial steam and electricity, which is sold to utilities. Anthony says the coal industry has “long supported this idea, but like Wa major jurisdictional and economic The General Accounting Office problems have to be worked out estimates that to open and upgrade before cogeneration is instituted on more coal mines would cost at least a large scale.” Next: The environmental and $30 billion. Many of these mines were abandoned because of labor health effects of increased coal disputes over safety, and preference production. .

Otis Cox. “Currently, criminals use the FOIA to seek out and identify informants who arc eventually rubbed out,” he added. Moreover, the FBI admittedly has been industrially shredding many files over five years old to lighten the load of paperwork.

These are the files which the FBI is seeking to destroy,” she stressed. An embarassed hoover Marwick also claimed that the FBI has abused the legality of the Smith Act which permits investigation of individuals suspected of plotting government overthrow—enough to inspire a Supreme Court ruling to limit Smith Act convictions to those cases of citizens actually taking arms against, the government. Citing Hoover’s preference for placing an emphasis on the effort to track down political dissidents instead of organized criminals, Marwick pointed out that the Bureau often spent'assmuch as five times as many tax dollars in hounding political activists as it did on investigating the underworld. She asserted, “And the results were totally negative. Hoover was embarrased at the Bureau’s inability to prevent violence.” Marwick also insisted that FBI destruction of files over a decade old would extinguish an important part of the historical records of the last 10 to 15 years, seriously handicapping journalists, authors and scholars who are working to put the pieces of the puzzle together. “The FBI has covertly influenced American history over the past 25 years. And the files that have so far been released have shed a new perspective on many cloudy controversial issues,” she said, citing known FBI files on wiretap authorizations, surveillance of John F. Kennedy and Martin Luther King, documentation' on counterintelligence techniques and also on FBI activities during the 1964 race riots. Webster’s proposed amendments come at a time far from free of the paranoia that pervaded the Sixties. A recent Harris Poll reveals that 76 percent of Americans feel that the public has a basic constitutional right to privacy while 11 percent arc afraid that the individual is in' constant jeopardy of losing more of these rights. The poll also showed that 8 percent of Americans believe that the society described in George Orwell’s 1984 has already arrived. Marwick surmised, “What this means is that 73 percent of the public believes that Big Brother is a credible threat.” According to many libertarians, Webster’s amendments woulcj' administer the coup de grace to an already-weakened Freedom of Information Act. “Keeping a viable Freedom of Information Act is one way to ensure that citizens aren’t deprived of their right to know just what their government has been doing to them,” said Marwick. »fS*-•■*■*-*•****** * » * .<Ut*V , �a * Q. I Injuries, slate, hurt I Royals' '79 outlook by Tony Petti Spectrum Stuff Writer The usual dose of pre-season optimism is abundant for two women’s varsity teams at UB as they prepare to launch their campaigns into gear. But even as the seasons near, problems have erupted in coach Peter Wcinrich’s training camp. Injuries to veterans Lori Hanson and Mary Ellen Weber have created a need for the volleyball Royals to quickly develop three highly touted freshmen. Weber, who if able to play at all, will have to pack her sore thumb in ice before and after gamfcs, is a vital setter. However, until she recovers, her ability to keep the ball will be handicapped. Hanson is recovering from corrective shoulder surgery and despite physician’s clearance, her mobolity is limited “It’s going to hamper the whole way the team is organized,” said Weinrich. “Weber was a player I worked very hard with for two. years but was lost last year to academic ineligibility,” continued Weinrich. “Along comes Lori Hanson who was super in her first year, and now she’s hurt.” Weinrich disclosed that Weber’s injury will probably worsen during the season’s progression while Hanson should recover. Though, he has not made a final decision, Weinrich will probably be forced to play at least two freshmen. New ruling Offensively, the volleyball squad appears sound —with a solid group pf spikers, tempered by a stable yet aggresive defense. The big gun on the back line will be Robin Cooksey, who passed up a scholarship to rival Canisius to take advantage of the better caliber of play at UB. A futher complication for the Royals will appear in the form of new playoff scheduling. The SUNY Conference has instituted a new set of post-season qualifying rules. In the pst, there were eight divisions and the top two teams in each qualified for the playoffs. With the new ruling, this will not necessarily be the case. Wins and losses will be computed as points and the terns with the highest percentages will be eligible for post season .play. UB plays several games against Canadian and foreign schools, but these games will not be considered toward their conference record. The necessity to win every league game becomes essential and all losses become crucial according to Weinrich. “Last season early tosses didn’t hurt us, but this season they will,” Weinrich remarked. Bright outlook Field hockey coach Betty Dimmick approaches the 1979 season speculating a bright future for her troops. The roster will feature ten returning players, and the team is further bolstered by a fine supply of incoming freshmen as well as the addition of an assistant coach. Always competitive, last year the Royals were defeated in at least five contests in which a simple break would have reversed the outcome. Cohfident that the season will prove positive, Dimmick has her line-up set, led by senior Holy Helfkh and Lorinda Burgess. A consistent scorer, Helfich will be counted on to supply the offense from the centerforward slot. Anything that slips by Burgess on the defense will be Robin Dulmage’s problem. Dulmage, a standout guard for the basketball Royals, will post herself in goal for the first time. Dimmick is confident she will fit in. Soccer Bulls help game’s popularity here in Buffalo —Brad Knee SORE SHINS: As the soccer season approaches, Coach Sal Esposito is finalizing his roster. One of Esposito's requirements is that team members run two miles in under twelve minutes. Please note: This fall With continuous excitement and speed not seen in football, team grace and fluid motion rarely seen in basketball, and popularity rivaling that of baseball, soccer returns to UB Wednesday, September 12, at 4 p.m. Already the major sport in South America, Europe and Africa, soccer is beginning to catch on here in the United States. In the sport’s eighth season at UB, head coach Sal Esposito looks forward to a more successful season than the last one. Major efforts to improve on 1978’s 4-10-1 record include increased recruiting and the creation of a junior varsity squad. “With the addition of a junior varsity, we now have a program, not just a team,” explains Esposito. Recruitment has improved the team, especially in the midfield and striker positions. As returning goalie Mark Celeste said, “All we need is to put the ball in the net,” attributing many of last year’s defeats to too few goals too late in the game. Esposito hopes to improve his offense with forwards Luis Azcuc, Bill Fish, Larry Lester, Mike Marszalkowski and midfield specialists Dave Gauss and Bob Deshaies. The defense, which does not greatly worry the coach, is anchored by veteran Ed Sorkin. The team is also picking up support from walk-ons, as the final roster is still incomplete. Big sacrifice The junior varsity, coached by History professor Norm Baker, will play a separate schedule, also starting on September 12 at Erie Community College. The junior varsity program, bom out of the varsity’s sacrifice of overnight road trips, will allow more UB students to develop their skills and maturity in college level soccer. This system will give future varsity teams a steady crop of homegrown talent. Team practices have been underway for two weeks now, mostly involving extensive running. Esposito’s requirements include running two miles in under twelve minutes. Team spirit is promoted in the laps, in which teammates shout constant encouragement. Team members already below the time requirement run alongside, giving support. The team has already played in scrimmages against Eastern Community College and Rochester Institute of Technology, allowing Esposito to view his players in action and subsequently choose the varsity team. This year’s schedule, opening Wednesday against Niagara University at Rotary Field includes new opponents Daemen, LeMoync, Eisenhower and Elmira Colleges. With UB and Buffalo State being last year’s cochampions of the Big Four (which also includes Niagara and Canisius), Esposito is confident of continued success, but he is more concerned with beating the six teams UB faces, including Geneseo, Fredonia, Oswego and last year’s champions—Brockport.

Crangle, Buffalo Mayor James D. Griffin, and local independent candidates denouncing political “machines.” The nine district and five at-large positions of Buffalo’s Common Council are being sought along with the office of Citf Comptroller and a number of judgeships in Buffalo’s City Court. Winning a Buffalo Democratic primary almost guarantees a “shoo-in” victory in the November election. Mayor Griffin, who has tried to extend his political might over Crangle ever since taking office in January 1976, has opposed the Democratic chairman with his own candidates in almost every primary race. However, two Griffin-backed candidates, Fillmore Councilwoman Shirley Stolarksi, running for Council President, and William A. Smith, challenging incumbent Eugene M. Fahey in the University District race, have been tossed out of the primaries by State Supreme Court Judges on grounds that their election petitions were permeated with fraud. Civil suits have been filed. Political revenge Adding more sting to the Democratic battles, Griffin turned to a provision of the State’s Municipal Home Rule which allows a mayor the unfettered power to appoint a citizens’ commission to review the City’s * I charter. In turn, such a commission has unchecked power to propose changes which would be put directly to public vote. Among other revisions the hand-picked Griffin committeerecommended the elimination of the five atlarge council representatives. Griffin’s motivation for appointing this commission has been criticized as “political revenge” against the present Councilmen-atLarge, none of whom are loyal Griffin supporters. The court removal of Smith from the University primary race and the failure of Eileen Bassett to gather a sufficient number of valid signatures has left University Councilman Eugene M. Fahey uncontested in his bid for the Democratic nomination. In the Delaware District primary, Director of UB’s Tolstoy College Charles Haynie is challenging the Crangle-endorsed candidate Alfred Coppola. While Democrats arc heavily favored in Buffalo elections. Republicans have held the majority of Erie County’s legislative seats for most of the past elections. Republicans A bitter struggle between County Comptroller Alfreda Slominski and the “appointed” County Executive, Edward Rutkowski, will be decided in tomorrow’s Republican primary. Slominski actively sought the party “appointment” to the County’s highest political position when then County Executive Edward Reagan was elected Comptroller of New York "State. However, Slomsinski’s differences with party leadership allowed Rutkowjki (a former aide to Congressman Jack Kemp) to win the exectuvie seat and the party endorsement in tomorrow’s election’ LOOMING RACE: Thit Fall’s election for the Buffalo Common Council are complicated by charges of .petition fraud and political rifts.

Acker claims that the Board’s stated philosophy of a voluntary program is misleading, because he believes the program is not voluntary for blacks. However, Baugh asserted that the Board will continue its emphasis on voluntary integration. it is blacks, not whites, who are bused to integrate the schools. One parent of a Bennett High School student charged that the busing of blacks has disrupted the black community and destroyed the students’ sense of belonging to any school after sixth grade. She commented, “The busing of students has spread kids throughout the City and wiped out any potential for parent involvement in the schools.” Critics also charge that QIE is involuntary for 40 percent of the participants, even though iris heralded as a voluntary program by the Board of Education. The busing of blacks to predominantly white schools has lowered attendance in minority neighborhood schools. As a result, these schools have become prime targets for closing. In addition, many of these minority schools have been converted to the accepted magnet schools. Because quotas limit the number of blacks who can attend a magnet school, critics explain that neighborhood schools for black children have decreased. Thus, many blacks are left no alternative but to enroll in QIE—and suffer long bus trips to predominantly white neighborhoods. President of Buffalo’s NAACP Daniel Acker asserts that QIE is “forced busing for blacks.” Acker admonishes the Board to be more creative in using such methods as pairing schools for cross integration, clustering a number of schools for the same purpose, opening educational parts, and increasing the number of magnet schools. Same goal The President of the School Board contends that Judge Curtin did rfot throw out QIE, but rather asked the Board to devise a better plan. According to Baugh, this plan could include many portions of the QIE program, however, the Board Will have to deal with those criticisms addressed by Curtin. “If they (the Board) follow Judge Curtin’s guidelines,” noted Acker, “the new program will be acceptable. However, they are fortunate that Curtin hasn’t pressed them yet.” Baugh claimed that the Board and the plaintiffs have the same goal: desegregation, and that they differ only on the procedures for attaining this goal. Acker disputes Baugh’s contention that the Board supports desegregation. He remarked, “If we hadn’t won this suit the Board wouldn’t have done anything. Even with the lawsuit they have done little.” Furthermore, the NAACP President charged that part of the responsibility for the slow pace of desegregation in Buffalo lies with Judge Curtin. According to Acker, Curtin has permitted the Boartd to use strictly voluntary means of desegregation, when it is acknowledged that the voluntary plans have failed. He complained that even after Curtin threw out QIE, the Judge allowed the entrance of 788 new students to the QIE program for this school year. Acker said, “Curtin comes up with orders, but doesn’t enforce them. The Judge has been too lenient for three years.” The court ought to do what is necessary to desegregate the schools, said Acker. “People holler about busing,” he noted, “but the Sweet Home school district (a suburban school district) can’t operate without buses.” He explained that twice as many students are bused in the City schools for nonintegration purposes as for integration purposes. “It’s not busing, it’s fear of us (blacks),” he asserted. Daniel Acker laments the slow pace of desegregation in Buffalo. He observed, “The Supreme Court decision on desegregation is over 25 years old. Southern cities have desegregated and forgotten about the issue. Here in Buffalo, we are still fighting the Civil r—— • War.” Rallying cry In his June 6 ruling, Curtin agreed with the above criticisms of the QIE program. Curtin also found that QIE is too costly and inefficient, and that busing patterns under the QIE program are too complex. This complexity contributes to the inefficiency of the program and creates bus rides that are intolerably long. One final criticism cited by Curtin was that QIE had a poor record of recruiting students from the lower grades. President of the Buffalo Board of Education Florence Baugh, a black woman, disagreed with the Judge’s finding that the burden of desegregation has been placed on the minority child. She asserted, “The plaintiffs have said this often enough that it has become a rallying cry.” It is Baugh’s contention that a larger number of majority children are transported on the City’s yellow buses than are minority children. According to Acker, Baugh's statement is inaccurate.

N Y. 14002 823-0769 by Mark Meltzcr Campus Editor While many students spent the summer searching for gasoline or worrying about the possible return of .the selective service system, administrators at UB’s top ranked Dental School had perhaps the most to frown about during the hot months. Stunned by the decision of an evaluation team to demote the Dental School to conditional accreditation. Dental School Dean William Feagans also faced the loss of the standardized Dental Aptitude test (DAT) as a tool in the admissions process. and Citing “impossible unmanageable” facilities, including inadequate lightings outdated equipment and severe space shortages, the American Dental Association (ADA) accreditation team dropped UB one notch on an accreditation scale of four. If the deficiencies are not remedied within two years, the Dental School could lose its accreditation altogether. The ADA team criticized the current facility as “grossly inadequate,” operating at one third to one half the space it requires and cramping 87 students in an area designed for 60. The report calls for a program of systematic equipment replacement of inadequate lighting, space and ventilation in the pre-clinical labs. According to Feagans, the equipment now being used dates back to the late 1940’s. Job cravinfetf But Uvlth or without its accreditation, the Dental School will still admit students, a task made more difficult by the ADA’s threat to withdraw its standardized admissions exam from New York State. Annoyed by the State’s new “truth in testing” law, which «oet ;f ies that all answers to standardized exams will be made public after the exam, both the ADA and the American Medical Association have said they will not give their tests within New York State after the law takes effect January 1, 1980.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION ON Plan to store radioactive wastes in Annex canned by Marc Sherman Environmental Editor A plan to store low-level radioactive wastes in Abbott Annex has been rejected by the University Nuclear Safety Committee because of “intense community concern.” However, committee members unanimously agreed that the planned storage “would not have presented an unacceptable hazard to the University community.” The plan, proposed by the University Radiation Protection Department, would have stored short-lived radioactive wastes in a room in Abbott Annex, on the Main Street Campus, which is currently used as a storage area. According to Radiation Protection Manager Mark Pierro, the storage in Abbott would have “reduced the volume of wastes and costs” for storing radioactive waste. Currently, both long-lived and short-lived low-level material is stored in the Howe building, located near the Main Street Campus-Nuclear Facility. Howe also hous& the Radiation Protection Department and several Chemistry labs and offices. Since 1976, low-level wastes have been stored in Howe until they were shipped to one of three radioactive material burial sites in this country: Hanford, Washington: Barnwell, South Carolina: and Beatty, Nevada. According to Pierro, by storing low-level waste in Abbott, STUDENT MEDICAL INSURANCE PROGRAM the University eventually would be able to dispose of the material as ordinary waste, thus saving money because of fewer shipments to the burial sites.

SUNY ChancellorClifton R. Wharton told The Spectrum that Ketter’s announcement only signifies that he will undergo an evaluation—and tljat it does not prove that Ketter wants to retain the Presidency. Under newly-approved presidential evaluation guidelines, Ketter does not need to be reappointed by the SUNY Board of Trustees to remain UB President. He must only undergo an evaluation; presidential evaluations have, in the past, been done every five years. Ketter was appointed President in 1970 and under the old guidelines, evaluated and reappointed in 1974-75. This Fall, he will be evaluated by a team of three presidents from outside the SUNY system, selected by Chancellor Wharton. The announcement, which was released to the press yesterday afternoon, shattered the summer silence surrounding Keller’s plans. In fact, since last Spring, administrators have remained extremely “tight-lipped” while faculty and students queried each other as to the President’s plans. Leadership role For months, Ketter has said that he would inform the University community of his intentions—be it to remain or retire from the Presidency—in September. University officials had speculated that Ketter would publicly disclose his decision at the first College Council meeting or during his annual “State of the University” address in September. One administrator told The Spectrum that he was “shocked, to say the least” that Ketter announced yesterday. Ketter, who is 50 years old, disclosed his plans in a memo addressed to Vice Presidents, Deans, Department Chairmen and Directors. In the memo, he stated Chancellor Wharton and I agree that there should be carried out this coming fall the review of the campus that is required by the Board of Trustees.” * . . #.» »• �DROP HOY + ihw Football, Jukes highlight Fallfest Tomorrow is billed as the ‘’Second Annual Fallfest Super Saturday” and, weather permitting, it should draw thousands of students to the Main Street Campus. Events include the opening of UB’s football schedule, a carnival and a six-hour concert featuring Southside Johnny and the Asbury Jukes. Last year’s Fallfest finally came off after difficulties almost forced its cancellation. Current Student Association (SA) President Joel Mayersohn was optimistic that this year’s event would be carried out without any hitches. He said, “Last year’s problems stemmed from poor planning. It was almost a spontaneous event. A lot has gone into Fallfest this yea r, and hopefully there won’t be any problems.” The acquisition of a top name act was one of the problems whic h beset last year’s event. “It’s hard to find national talent in September,” Mayersohn noted. “A lot of bands are coming off summer tours. We were lucky to land Southside Johnny.” Last year only local talent entertained. The day will begin when the UB Bulls kick off against Cortland State at 1 p.m. at Rotary Field. The first 1,000 people will receive a coupon for a free beer or soda after the game. While the game is in progress the School of Dentistry will be holding a carnival ip the Farber parking lot to benefit the United Way. —Chris Overworked computers Lyons Fall registration pluggingalong; procedure slowed by volume by Elena Cacavas News Editor The fall registration process, plagued with over 700 course changes, programming errors and overworked computers, is not lagging far behind previous years. As of Wednesday, over 20,000 students—last year’s total enrollment was almost 25,000—were registered for courses here. According to Richard Dremuk, Director of Admissions and Records (A&R), the pace this year is pretty much in keeping with that of other years, although a system initiated last Spring has facilitated the process. He said that the numbCrof students registered at this time last year is almost identical to this year’s figure. But operation pitfalls are largely a result of restricted funds for staff and machinery and the volume of work associated with registering some 25,000 students. Dremuk said a 30 percent cut in office staff over the past six years and computers with limited capacity possibly pose the largest problems. “By far,” Dreutnk explained, “the biggest concern is with the machines at the computer center at Ridge Lea. The volume is so great, particularly in the past week, that there is a definite problem with handling the closed some department majors out of required courses. To date, according to Dremuk, English courses have, as in past years, been most heavily in demand by students. Many labs are also filled. The rapid closings in these areas were attributed to their being prerequisites for numerous majors. Dremuk said courses were closed within days after pre-registration opened. A service offered to departments to help avert massive closings has not, according to Dremuk, been “as effective” as A&R would like. As soon a preregistration starts, records are kept of the number of students enrolled in various courses. During the summer, a “demand analysis” report is sent to departments allowing them to make adjustments in their offerings. A daily report of enrollment is also sent which gives the department an additional opportunity to modify or adjust course listings. “But there are not as many alterations as we would like to see,” Dremuk said. He attributed the lack of departmental reponse to the inability to add courses because of limited resources and manpower. The Concert happenings Activities will then shift over to the Squire Hall fountain area, when the band Bellvista, a fusion jazz band from Boston, will take the steps of Harriman at 4 p.m. An unannounced band will be next, followed by Southside Johnny and the Asbury Jukes at around 8:30 p.m. Beer will be 35 cents or three for one dollar. • Director of Campus Security Lee Griffin said that normal Saturday shifts will be in effect for officers with the addition of some overtime help. Griffin said he’s anticipating “the usual problems that exist at these parties—fights and injuries.” Griffin added that he is worried about outsiders coming on campus, especially high school students. “Officers will be alerted about that,” he noted. The Division of Undergraduate Education and Millard Fillmore College have both notified SA that no classes will be held once the bands start playing. The University Bookstore m Squire Hall has said that the number of buses will be increases throughout the afternoon and evening. Co-sponsoring the Fallfest along with SA and UUAB, are the UB Athletic Department and the UB Alumni Association.

Required basic writing courses are annually flooded by freshmen. load.” Complete reliance He said that the computers have operated regularly over the past three years, but this year “have pretty much reach saturation.” Dremuk added, “Some programmers feel they have possibly reached oversaturation. “A&R,” he said, “is a service unit completely dependent upon the computer center. The registration procedure here is so totally reliant on those computers that if they fail, everything will stop.” In an effort to ease the University’s reliance on the machines, alternatives are being studied. One possibility ihvolves assembling random groups of students in a large hall at an assigned time. Should computers break down, the groups would be small enough to work with through manual procedures. Another consideration is working with a primary and back-up computer system. But, said Dremuk, a solution is dependent on what a 55-man staff can do when it has to handle registration, late admissions, transcripts and the daily influx of phone calls. Since last April when pre-registration opened, there have been some 700 schedule changes orchestrated by various departments. The opportunity to secure courses before the Fall rush drew 11,390 students for the 1979—1980 school year, compared to last year’s 13,036. Closed out But even the opportunity to grab courses as soon as they were offered didn’t prevent students from being closed out. Dremuk said course changes forced many early closings. Additionally, programming errors Improvement Although the wait on-line to add or drop courses varies extensively, Dremuk maintained that the system has the capacity to completely register students within five minutes. The “Real Time” system, instituted last Spring, puts students on the computer as soon as data sheets are handed in. Under the old system, data form processing took two days. “In the past we were sometimes backed up for as long as one week and occasionally up to three weeks,” Dremuk said. An additional advantage is that the computers immediately tell students if a course is closed. They can then chose alternatives while still at the terminals. “But the disadvantage,” Dremuk said, “is that students try to negotiate a schedule in one shot and hold up the lines.” Among the best Dremuk did not attribute any of the registration problems or class closings to confusion over the newly implemented Springer Plan. “The greatest problem,” he explained, “is that a lot of courses are offered in the middle of the day. That is when students and instructors prefer to be in the classroom. There is a definite need for better distribution.” But Dremuk also noted that this University overall has one of the better registration systems. The “Real Time” method, he said, is not used at any other school in the SUNY system and in only a few other higher education institutions throughout the nation. “The delay is rooted in the volume, not in the procedure,” he maintained. The last day to register initially for courses is September 14. The final day to drop or add without financial liability is September 21. Peer advisement The summer’s successful Peer Advisor Program continues in two ways this Fall. Trained and experienced Peers will assume selected advising tasks, and new students will be selected and trained as Peer Advisors. These students assist DUE Academic Advisors by providing student-to-student views of academic decision making and planning. A Peer Training Orientation Meeting for interested students will be held on Tuesday, Sept. IT at 7:30 p.m. in 10 Capen Hall on Amherst. For more info: call June P. Blatt at 831-3631.

City Editor Charles Haynie, Administrative Director and fulltime faculty member of the University’s Tolstoy College, is running in this September’s primary for the seat of Delaware District Councilman. The Common Council of Buffalo, comprised of nine district members and five at-large representatives, constitutes Buffalo’s legislative body. Under Haynie’s direction, Tolstoy College (College F) has always drawn on the problems and concerns of Buffalo communities and their history to form the basis of its students’ educational experience. Haynie believes this background has provided him with a "good basis and knowledge” of Buffalo’s extensive ethnic diversity and economic problems. When a group of concerned Delaware district residents met regularly last Spring to gather support for a council candidate who would not be controlled by political machines or large corporations, the grayhaired and bespeded Haynie entered the political arena. After a futile search for someone able to represent the needs of lower and middle income families, as well as the concerns of the labor and environmental movements, Haynie took it upon himself to run as a concerned resident. While several of the group’s most conservative members were skeptical of Haynie’s chances, his candidacy has since drawn in a large amount of teacher, student, senior citizen, labor’ environmental and community support. In the true spirit of “power to the residents,” Haynie said, they developed a “collective campaign,” forming committees whose members helped to make decisions. College F professor runs for City Council and against big business ' * Reflects members “We tried to form a different type of campaign that isn’t focused on my personality,” explained Haynie, “even though part of it is focused on what I have to say.” Explaining that his campaign was formed with “a lot of listening and dialogue with people about substantial political issues in Buffalo—economic issues, union issues. Affirmative Action, block grants, etc. Haynie claimed there has been a real lack of concern shown for these issues by the other candidates. “When we talked to them in the springtime, they didn’t have any responses,” recalled Haynie. “They didn’t even know why we’re asking a lot of these questions!” he exclaimed. ‘Why do you want to raise controversial issues?’ they would ask. They were illinformed.” Citing this city’s major problem as being the fact that Buffalo’s largest corporations have made decisions not in the City’s best interest, Haynie asserted, “These “ decisions are made to our disadvantage, and they have been for the last fifteen or twenty years and apparently i V. rjrjrjot. /##// AVVUVVW will continue to be. ‘‘I don’t sec anybody Fighting that,” he continued, “and I see the political systems whether it’s Mayor Griffin—at one point I hoped GrifFm was going to come out and Fight big business, but he has totally capitulated and goes right on down the line with the banks and insurance companies—or obviously Crangle and that machine playing right on in with these big corporations all along.” Criticizes Griffin One example Haynie pointed out is the refusal of Mayor GrifFm to implement the feasibility study for community control over the electric and gas utilities. He claims it is possible to save between 30 and 50 of our energy costs through percent “municipalization.” It is Haynic’s feeling that GrifFm is violating his duty in blocking the Council approved study and that he should be recalled from ofFice if he continues to do so. Haynie also criticized Buffalo banks for “redlining" practices causing extensive neighborhood decline. In essence, he feels the “whole City” is being redlined, as money taken out of City deposits is being invested in the suburbs and “far away from Buffalo.” The Delaware District candidate claims Buffalo politicians are overly fearful of businesses threatening to leave the area. Instead of approaching these interests with a tax or environmental rebate, affecting the pockets and health of_ Buffalo residents, Haynie contends the city should approach these companies with the following advantages: Buffalo’s skilled work force, existing plants, and its willingness to provide support for a growing industry. As for the role of the University towards its city, Haynie criticized its neglect of large segments of Buffalo’s population. “UB is very prominent for the business community and to an extent, the political machines,” he said. “Graduates of the policy studies and management schools feed right into these organizations. But does any part of the University attach itself and consider itself supportive of, let’s say, the labor movement in Buffalo or the black community?” While he claims the media and the University create an image of Buffalo that is populated by “progressive young businessmen,” Haynie added, “1 don’t think that’s Buffalo.” His belief is that as long as the University hooks up its resources only. with big business, it will not be helping the vast majority of working people.

He perceives that education is being presented as a way out of Buffalo and that the University is unaware of the “realities of people’s lives in this city.” �Department of GEOLOGICAL SCIENCES Fall 1979—NoPrerequisites GREAT MYSTERIES OF THE EARTH GLY 101, Lee & Lab, 4 hrs., Cazeau No. Reg. 030164.

Beginning this semester, students electing the S/U or pass/fail grading option will submit a form directly to the Office of Admissions and Records (A&R), which will, at the semester’s close, convert the student’s actual letter grades to either “S” or “U.” Under the old policy, which required students to notify their instructor if they desired an S/U grade, students were expected to reach this decision within the drop/add period. However, UB administrators have charged that the policy was frequently used by students to avoid poor grades for substandard performance and was opted for near the semester’s close. Students would negotiate with the instructor and receive “S” grades instead of “D” grades as late as the last week in the semester. Chairman of the Faculty Senate Newton Carver called the old system an “invitation to corruption” and accused theKetter Administration of laxity in fully implementing the new policy. Carver, whose 1974 Faculty Senate designed the new policy, blasted Ketter in a strongly worded October 3, 1978 memo for allowing the delay in implementation to occur. Not eager “I am outraged by the delay, the back-pedaling, the buck passing and the unending excuses that have surrounded the question of S/U grading procedures,” Carver wrote. “If there is any one issue on which your administration has, in severed offices that report to you, been monumentally inefficient over the past few years, it is this issue about S/U GENERAL GEOLOGY GLY 103, Lee & Lab, 4 hrs.

Asked to do the required paperwork manually, Kunz notified then Chairman of the Faculty Senate Jonathan Reichert that “following careful analysis of the manual procedure proposed it is my considered judgement that the possible pitfalls resulting from the procedure far outweigh the academic advantages of implementation at this time. 1 have decided that my office will wait until the machine procedure is available, hopefully for the Spring 1978 or Fall 1978 semesters.” But A&R Director Richard Dremuk did not enjoy having the confused S/U system dumped into his lap. He wrote Kunz on May 10, 1977 that since an interim arrangement to institute the new S/U policy for Fall 1977 had been noted in the minutes of the April 27, 1977 Faculty Senate Executive Committee meeting—in which Dremuk did not participate—“I assume.the interim procedure will not involve the Office ofAdmissions and Records. While Kunz charged A&R with “refusing” to do the job, Dremuk told The Spectrum that reductions in A&R staff over the past few years rendered the office unable to handle the workload manually. To computerize the operation completely two years ago would have required 18 man-months to develop the program, according to Dremuk. A&R now plans to do part of the job by computer and part manually, until Computing Services implements its more efficient Data Base Management System in about two years. By that time, the operation will be ... completely computerized. “We just can’t delay this any longer,” Dremuk said. To expand S/U grading began at UB in September of 1969. It was instituted to allow students to enroll in courses somewhat out of their normal fields without fear of lowering their grade point averages. In 1974, the Faculty Senate became concerned that students were taking the S/U option not to venture into other disciplines, but to ease the workload in courses required for their major study areas. The Senate was particularly distrubed that a student could get a degree in the health related fields, through the S/U system, with a “D” average. But not until September of 1978 were students prohibited from taking S/U in a major, or prerequisite for a major, course. The second feature of the Faculty Senate’s newly revised S/U plan will now also be implemented. This semester, however, the forms will not be ready until September 10, so students are being given an extension to October 1. Additionally, the policy prohibits students from opting for S/U in more than 25 percent of their UB credits, a continuation of the old policy. Now, however, under several conditions, a student will be able to recover a letter grade after taking a course S/U. The student must either need the grade for a major he has changed to, or be able to document that a graduate or professional school to which he has applied “demands the letter grade earned.” Recovery of the grade will only be possible within a two year period from graduation or the last date of attendance. But the new procedures are not without complications. Every time an "incomplete” grade is changed to a letter grade, for example, A&R will have to check to see if the student has selected the S/U option. Reg.

Although the registration lines will be closed, tomorrow's festivities—the opening football game, the Dental School's fair for the United Way, and the annual Fallfest—certaiply will provide a wellneeded break for those of you who have been battling the computer. There are certain intrinsic benefits of tomorrow's fest. The UB Bulls, like all UB athletic teams, need your vociferous support, if for nothing else, then for that infamous cliche —school spirit. The United Way campaign needs whatever fiscal help members of the University community are The Student Association needs your moral support, and a wellorganized music extravaganza clearly demonstrates the potential of the various student activity and service organizations. But tomorrow's "Super Saturday"Js a lot more basic than something with intrinsic value. Forget about the bank, ignore the "closed out" on your schedule card, don't worry about buying your books, don't bother decorating your room or unpacking or even considering to do your laundry. Join a bunch of friends and meet a bunch of others on the Main Street Campus for a few beers . . . and maybe we can start this year off in the right direction. Blind support The Buffalo Courier-Express should think more carefully before it opens its mouth (or editorial pages) in the future. UB Student Association President Joel Mayersohn's criticism of the Courier's editorial —an editorial which expresses the hope that UB President Robert Ketter be permitted to continue in his position —is well-founded. No one should be so blind as to suggest that a change shouldn't be made because they know "of no good reason why" it should be. We don't know if Robert Ketter is this University's best alternative for the future, but we'll make sure that before we speak, we can support our claim. We are not surprised that the Courier jumped to such a conclusion, because it is the same newspaper that last May —in an effort to scoop its competitors —erroneously reported that Dr. Ketter was likely to step down. But more important than the Courier's premature support and the weight it carries are the substantive efforts that faculty, students, and other members of the University community, will make before voicing their support, or lack of support, for Robert Ketter. We only urge that these deliberations be extensive and open—for only then will we have confidence in their message. Room for all We need your help.

Phaedrus by Robert Basil an eternal verity, he could not accept any perspectives of dissent. Nobody wrote “Amherst construction” stories better than Tom Batt. They appeared just over two years ago. before my freshman year at UB. The then editor-in-chief appointed him as campus editor for the following fall, A lot of people expected him to make editor-in-chief one day. It was probably in July or .August, however, after he was seen really enjoying himself at The Spectrum's annual picnic, that he nearly shattered his spine jumping off of a light pole. According to the Medical Examiner’s office, one of Tom’s suicide atterhpts finally worked this July 15, when he died of acute carbon monoxide poisoning. He turned his car on inside of a closed garage. The person 1 talked to there realized when I called him that Tom was a neighbor ot his. “So he was the guy everybody on the street was talking about,” he said. “You see, there was this church across the street from his house. He would go over there during the masses and wander around until they would have to kick him out.” The Medical Examiner also told me that Tom’s father had committed suicide about the same time Tom first tried. Tom finally mustered up enough courage to return to “the office” again this spring. He was annoying the hell out of everyone by straightening up clutter and rearranging typewriters. With but one exception, though, every editor and writer was too afraid of Toni to talk much to him. He was interesting when he was a tragic legend, sure, but “too real” (as a girlfriend admitted to me) and too bothersome to deal with in • person. You could tell by looking at him that Tom was tortured. His eyes, always protruding above his ruddy cheeks, never quite revealed the inner anguish he must have been feeling. He was ravaged by the disorder and anarchy he saw in the world because he felt that at bottom, there was a metaphysical right and wrong, a cosmic explanation, to every question. So when he believed in something, when he thought he unearthed Sometimes he would laugh, god only knows what for, because there would be no apparent reason for him to start, or to stop. He would just be looking out a window and slap his knee and start laughing. I guess the pleasure these small moments of humor afforded him could not, finally, sustain him. Tom’s need for intelligibility in the world began to affect his writing. Not only did his newspaper commentaries drastically simplify world politics, but even his sentence structure shrank and began to resemble children’s prayers. The last time I saw Tom he told the that he was worried that the Federal government was going to cut off his support payments for his injured back. That would force him, he feared, into a world before he was prepared, before he had all the answers, before he could deal with the angry miasma of confusion that was sure to greet him. Tom’s death especially affected me. His lean hungry demeanor seemed to manifest, in a lot of ways, a magnification of the same wolf-nature (hence the name of this column, “Phaedrus,” Latin for wolf) growling in me, in a lot of us, I suppose. When he died, I was out in the Nevadan desert, trying for myself to figure out the same things he was. The heat was skinsplitting and drivers are more than unkind in parched Nevada. 1 realized then that (choke, this sounds trite you can’t let all of this crap get to you, whether you know what it means or not.

Keller President Courier’s 9 endorsement This editorial is reprinted with permission from the Buffalo Courier Express. It appeared August 28, 1979. Keep Dr. Ketter at the Helm The announcement that Dr. Robert L. Ketter, president of the University of Buffalo since 1970, wants to continue in the office is heartening news. We know of no good reason why a change should be made, and he should receive the most favorable consideration from the State University of New York (SUNY) Board of Trustees. Under new guidelines for selecting presidents, a panel of three non-SUNY educators chosen by SUNY Chancellor Clifton R. Wharton Jr. will evaluate Dr. Ketter’s administration the fall. An assessment of the president’s leadership also is being undertaken by a joint committee of undergraduate and graduate students. The new guidelines also call for the elimination of sjSecific terms of office for presidents (Dr. Kctter’s current five-year term was scheduled to end next June). No one is perfect, and Dr. Ketter has had his problems, attributable in large part to the attacks made on him by students. Two years ago, student associations passed resolutions of “no confidence” in his leadership, and there was division among the faculty over his stevyardship. But the college council gave Dr. Ketter a good grade. He certainly has demonstrated that he can fight hard for the university, including the completion of the new Amherst ■r-rmn sk.»wh % campus. Over-all, his accomplishments, in serving under various chancellors and governors outweigh his shortcomings, and now that he has expressed a wish to continue as president, we hope that he will be permitted to do so. Chicken or the egg? To the Editor Your editorial of August 28, entitled “Keep Dr. Ketter at the Helm” shows a total lack of understanding of the plight of SUNY Buffalo and exhibits poor judgement in evaluating the nature of a campus presidency. The logic that the Courier-Express follows could easily be characterized as “absurd.” You state: “We know of no good reason why a change should be made ...” Your statement was made without a careful examination of Dr. Kcttcr’s track record, his soon-to-bc-announccd “Statement of Stewardship” or any discussion of the President’s plans for the future of the University. Students here agree that “no one is perfect,’.’ but your conclusion that Dr. Kcttcr’s problems can be attributed in large part to attacks made on him by similarly students is an assertion floundering in or the the chicken first, came logic. Which absurd egg? Have the no-confidence votes passed by both the undergraduate and graduate Student Associations in the past reflected serious problems that Dr. Ketter was having in leading this University? Those votes were based on a careful examination of the facts: his administrative skills, visionary leadership, interpretation of the student mandatgory fee system, and his ability to provide UB with a functional Amherst Campus.

Cathy Cozzarelli RCC Program Coordinator Young’s weight To the Editor; The recent events surrounding the resignation of Andrew Young as United States Ambassador to the United Nations has produced the most compelling evidence of the differences in Black-Jewish interests From the days of Brownsville, to Bakke, from Weber, to Defunis and now to the legitimate rights of the Palestinians, blacks and Jews have had different ideas about right and justice. The allegiance of Jews to is israe alone, the allegiance of blacks is to the liberation of ail oppressed people at home and abroad. Whereas black intellectuals have always practiced the indivisibility of justice in the world; Jewish intellectuals have seemed to be confused in its application to Palestians. In fact, the pain of Jewish intellectuals on the left is Palestinian rights; the pain of Jews on the right is Israel’s unnatural creation as a state; the pain of both groups is objective criticism of their motices and behaviors. As blacks, our position is the individisibility of justice and solidarity with Palestinians because we know that the attitude which leads to the abuse of the Palestinians is the same attitude leading to the abuse of Zimbabweans. Specifically because we do not share in the European guilt complex about Jewish persecution we are able to make more objective evaluations of their treatment of Palestinians. Consequently we do not accept and will not accept the shrill voice of Jewish demagoguery which would condemn those who speak to the PLO, accuse Israel of human rights violations, or demand that Israel stop selling Uzzi machine guns to racist South Africa. When they majority of Jews embrace justice, fairplay, and decency they will win a strong degree of respect from blacks. It shoujld not be ungodly for Jews to condemn expansionistic and exploitative role played by Israel. If they cannot bring themselves to see this, others must do so. Andy Young s crime was an abundance of common sense, decency, and impatience with injustice; a weight my people carry proudly. He is know enthrorted in the panoply of our national heroes.

The students who rccevied F’s in a required course must do remedial work before moving on to other requirements. Thus, failing a required course—such as Fixed Prosthodontics—could postpone a student’s graduation. However, according to Clinic Supervisor Conny, memos were distributed to students in the “beginning of the second semester” A group of dental students in the University’s prc-doctoral program are awaiting a court decision regarding alleged arbitrary grading by a group of professors and a request that the Dental School be forced to adhere to written grading policies. Although a University judicial body has supported the School’s as did one outside the grounds of academic freedom—other cases filed by students are pending. The six students involved alleged that they received grades for Fixed clinical work in Prosthodontics indicating failure for the semester without any prior notice, and inconsistent with their daily evaluations. However, according to Clinic Supervisor Daniel J. Conny prior notice was issued and “a student would have had to have his head in the sand to not have been aware of the situation.” The clinic is a requirement for those with junior status. It—like all required courses in the Dental School—must be satisfactorily position court—on Academic freedom According to one student, Huron Hill, the nine-month course was thoroughly explained in an 11 page document distributed the first day of classes. The grade, he said, was supposed to be quantitative (finishing the five units or crowns) and qualitative (based on the daily grade average which evaluates attitude, skill and knowledge). Hill alleged that in April, eight months into the nine-month course, a memo was distributed announcing that there would be an additional faculty evaluation component to the final grade. “I should have had a C—according to the daily average—but 1 would up with an F. But the faculty involved feels it has the academic freedom to do that. Some students with D averages were raised by the faculty opinion component,” Hill 9 | competence. Subjective evaluations Conny also said that one faculty member is not responsible for making the final grade evaulation. Instead, he explained, about six or eight assigned to the clinic assigned the grades. “It is indeed a subjective process,” said Conny, “but dentistry is an art and science which requires subjectivity. It is our responsibility to make an evaulation based upon our experience.

Apparently, this contention has been proven in several traffic courts across the State, according to a recent report by the New York State Commission on Judicial Conduct. “A widespread pattern of ticket fixing has been uncovered in many areas of the State,” reported Administrator of the Commission Gerald Stern. He noted that the Commission has documented evidence that many town and village justices and some city court judges are being improperly influenced in the disposition of speeding offenses and are granting favors to friends, relatives, other judges, police officers and To apply for any of these positions, please submit the following to 1 1 2 Talbert Hall by Friday, September 14: a) a cover letter stating position desired of September 1 7-21 POSITIONS ARE OPEN TO ALL UNIVERSITY STUDENTS This is your opportunity to affect the student environment here at SUNYAB.

The Commission’s report revealed that, to date, more than 375 judges—mostly town and village justices—in 38 counties have either made requests of other judges for special consideration, granted such requests, or done both. “Some have granted favors many times,” related Stern, noting that one judge, whom he declined to name, has performed over 500 favors. In disciplinary hearings conducted over the summer, judges admitting to charges of improper use of influence in traffic cases faced the possibility of censure—a public reprimand placed on the judge’s record—or, in more serious cases, removal from office. vh* OL U\ HUH \l \l \ ISM THIS 4 011*0* (,OOI» 14IK a wx4iu:. ikiv4ii ikiis.

These letters explicitly requested special treatment as a favor; some indicated that the motorist is a relative of the party making the request. “In every case, no pretense is made in these letters of there being a valid defense to the violation charged or other proper reason for the disposition requested,” claimed Stern. Frequently, requests for favors have been granted. “Quite often., judges requesting favors have indicated in letters to the judges doing the favors that they should feel free to request similar favors in return,” said Stern. The report cited one case in which a judge offered the sexual favors of a friend of the defendant if the recipient judge agreed to susp-end a fine. Stern also informed The Spectrum that the Commission has copies of requesting [S] M .4% Lyor v. 1 ■ | judges have reduced charges of driving while intoxicated or leaving the scene of an accident (both misdemeanors), to speeding (a three-point moving violation) and even to driving with an unsafe lire (a no-point non-moving violation). The “point” system is used in New York by the Department of Motor Vehicles to assess penalties for driving infractions. A motorist who receives 11 or more points over an 18-month period is subject to having his license revoked by the Department of Motor Vehicles. Requests for favors The report also revealed that use pf special influence in traffic court is not limited to the reduction of charges. “Outright dismissals have been requested and arbitrarily granted. Favors have also been granted on fines and the reduction of the amount of excessive speed shown on the face of the summons,” Stern indicated. He described one case in which the defendant was issued a summons for driving 120 mph— 65 mph above the national maximum of 55 mph. Through his influence with the presiding judge, the defendant was able to plead guilty to driving only 20 mph over the speed limit, thereby reducing his fine and the number of points recorded on his license. This reduction prevented a Department of Motor Vehicles hearing which could have resulted in revocation or suspension of his driver’s license. The Commission’s report is the result of the three-year investigation concerning various aspects of judicial conduct. In 1976, in the course of unrelated investigations, the Commission discovered letters written by several judges requesting favors. Re-election price “We traced these letters to the courts of their origin only to find more of the same,” recalled Stern as he described his discovery ot widespread ticket fixings The Commission then initiated investigations of 447 judges who were alleged to have been engaged in the ticket-fixing practice. As a result of those investigations, 375 judges were served with a formal written complaint by the Commission setting forth the various charges of misconduct. Disciplinary proceedings against 40 judges were initiated by the Commission in April, 1978. Eight of the 40 resigned and two allowed their terms to expire without seeking re-election before formal charges could be served and the �r------------------ $30’0FF!,=. \V uow wutmtMi co«f SUPERSCOPE -AuM* - -m.

However, many of those involved with the Commission maintain that instead of destroying public trust in the judicial system, the public disclosure of the judges’ misconduct will inspire confidence in the democratic philosophy of checks and balances. “We hope that the public will have more confidence in the system knowing of the existence of a commission that will ensure that the misguided acts of judges don’t go unrcported every town engages in SPECIAL OFFERING TODAY! values for women) ... judges who engage in ticket fixing create two systems of justice, otic judges’ names reveals.

One judge notified the Commission that “As a result of your investigation, being a Town Justice has become a dignified positon. Suddenly, the constant calls for favors have ceased.

Stern maintains that no matter how acceptable the practice has become in many courts, it must be distinguished as a gauge for future judicial misconduct. “Judges who have engaged in ticket fixing have bred disrespect for our system of justice,” he asserted. “Once ticketfixing is rationalized and accepted, the fixing of other, more serious cases can’t be far behind.” PETE & RON'S ARCO corner of Bailey & Highgate complete auto repairs 5 qts.

The conservatives favored the focus on educational issues but, unfamiliar with USSA’s obscure parliamentary rules, lost on most of the votes it used to test its strength. Disgruntled, the dissidents sputtered out of the 1978 conference. Vowing never to return. True to their word, they stayed away from USSA’s 1979 conferenced at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst. They had in the interim established their.own organizations, the American Federation of Students and the American Student Foundation. Those who did attend the USSA conference consequently spent much of their time talking unit, even when the subjects were the typically-divisive ones of racism and sexism: “We’ve decided to withdraw the resolution for the sake of the unity of the body,” announced Carolyn Scott of New York’s Hunter College, speaking for the Third World Caucus. “I would ask that from here we rebuild,” re-elected chairman Frank Jackalone harmonized. “And the area in which we need to build is unity.” Jackalone, a former UB student Association President, even nominated his defeated opponent for USSA leadership, Brian Delima, as an at-large board member. Delima, in return, asked delegates to set fire to “fake” copies of their blue delegate cards, “to burn away all the negative energy.” . tTir FOR HAIR 3 WEST NORTHROP PLACE (Next to Granada) PHONE 833-1944 FOR AN APPOINTMENT though, the two organizations began to work together more often until August 1978 when the two groups merged to form USSA. Smoldering ideologies Thus did the United States Student Association to finally purge Itself of the demons—incarnate as “social issues” apd “educational issues”—that have competed for organizational control through most of the seventies.*. Intense ideological struggle is a given at these annual Isummer conventions of student body leaders. USSA’s precursor, the National Student Association (NSA), had a well-deserved reputation for furious politics ever since it discovered in 1967 that it had been clandestinely funded by the Central Intelligence Agency. At that point NSA turned to pro-civil rights, anti-war, and finally radical politics. The highly-politicized atmosphere in NSA lead to frequent internal schisms and, at the beginning of the seventies, to an argument over whether NSA should devote less of its energies to politics, and more to those important, mundate educational issues. Those favoring a more aggressive educational focus finally seceded from NSA, and formed the National Student Lobby (NSL). As political tempers cooled through the decade, attempt ! Signs that the battle between social and educational issues in the merged organization still smolders were evident in Amherst. Though the debate was too mannered to result in any dissdent caucuses or secessions (a number of organizations, from Young Americans for Freedom to Student for a Democratic Society, began as splinter caucuses at USSA conferences), there was in fact a resolution presented that would have barred USSA from lobbying in congress on social issues. But, in deference to the emphasis on the resolution was voluntarily withdrawn soon after it was introduced. The unity theme did not prevent the kind of fierce, night-long debates over policy that have always characterized the conferences. Delegates stgarted with a 44-page policy platform and a thick booklet of bylaws to amend. Consensus was strained. Plenary chairman Chip Berlet, doing a generallylaudable though sometimes rough-handed job of checking delegates’ tempers, even lost his cool when one delegate moved to drop consideration of an antipornography policy. The policy encouraged member schools to stop on-campus sale of sexually-exploitive magazines and material. “You’re in favor of sexually-exploitive material?” Berlet burst out in exasperation. He then surrendered the chair to an assistant until the issue was resolved. Those arguing that the right to buy Playboy was a first amendment freedom won the debate. An attempt to drop a resolution to support lesbian mothers’ right to keep their children was defeated, despite one delegate’s contention that the measure was “not educational and it’s controversial.” And after Michael Harrington of the Democratic Socialist Organizing Committee pointed out that an immediate shutdown of all nuclear power plants would cost thousands of jobs. USSA delegates modified a nonukes resolution in a call for a moratorium on building more nuclear plants. So it went. The debates often lurched idnto the predawn hours, punctuated by oft-expressed frustrations over die slow pact of the proceedings. Nevertheless there were always enough people in the room with enough energy to keep the debates alive, During the daylight hours, though, the contestants returned to their unity themes. Near the conference s conclusion, Jackalone praised what he called the calmest USSA election he had ever seen, But two day s after the delegates and USSA staff closed the conference, a tape recording at t e organization s Washington,' D.C. ea quarters to callers the staff was t a conference at the University o Massachusetts.

Buffalo Evening News, the other major newspaper in the city, was purchased by an outside interest in 1977. The abortion controversy that shook the University last year was settled quietly when University President Robert Kcttcr approved the health insurance plan submitted by Sub Board I, the student services corporation.

Passing the buck To date, the State Attorney General has cited precedents for subjective grading and the courts in one case, now closed, did not wish to override the decision of the faculty—a group with expertise in the area concerned. “The judge said there was no evidence of arbitrary or capricious action,” said Conny. “The court also realized it could not fairly substitute the University’s academic evaluation.” Eight students in the 90-person clinic, according to Conny, received failing marks. Of those, one was dismissed and did not contest the decision and another, whose lawsuit is one of those pending, was promoted to senior status with provisions that he resolve the F. “You would think we had straight A students,” said Conny. “In fact, a number of those involved have had The option was dismissal.

Monte, the employee taking me up for the test run, confidentially boasted, “l‘ve taken trips all without an accident, and I don’t intend on having any now.” Because of the lightweight but strong construction of gliders, the slow speeds they fly at, and a design tailored specifically for gliding, Monte explained, “They are safer than regular planes.

On a given day he can be found canoeing down the Mississippi River and backpacking through the woodlands of Canada. He made the decision vent his free spirit five years ago when he left UB after one semester to take a factory job, making enough money to pack up periodically and set out to see the country. “It depends on your priorities, I guess,” he said. “You have to be willing to give up a few things—like money in the bank or a Money isn’t as fancy car important as most people believe,” ... he remarked. traveling, the native Buffalonian, rarely stays in hotels. Instead, he takes up the casual invitations offered by those he meets on the road. But how do people react when he suddenly pops in for a few days? “Great,” he said, recalling the time he and a friend met a game warden at an outdoor show In Toronto. Porpiglia took him up on his invitation to stop down to the warden’s Indiana home for some canoeing, and spent four days with his family. “That trip cost us maybe two tanks of gas each way and some food money,” he said. When the secret to the whole thing is not to be the average tourist—like someone who goes through a little town in a car and just doesn’t get any feeling as to what the place is at alk If you’re going through on a motorcycle or hiking or canoeing it’s much easier to strike up a conversation.” Porpiglia, who works at the Moog Valve factory in East Aurora, admitted that a steady job is not always easy to hold if a person wants the freedom to pack up and go when he gets the urge. “You have to be willing to quit your job once in a while.” Although he has had better job offers, Porpiglia stays at Moog because he can usually get the time off he wants. But jobs on the road are fairly easy to find, he said, although sometimes “you have to be kind of aggressive or even pushy.” Last summer, when he and a friend canoed down the Mississippi River, they spent a few days on a tug boat, cooking and cleaning„ for their passage. “The captain took a liking to us and offered us a permanent job,” he said, “but we had to let that one go.” Could a woman travel as easily as does a man? “It would be very hard Pace of life in the small southern are warm and friendly, Porpiglia believes, unlike those in the big northern cities where the pace of life gives rise to a stiff and impersonal atmosphere. “I think Amherst Theatre - Soft, nice cotton clothes from India TOPS • SKIRTS 2 Locations University Plaza & 1 Corner Forest \JB less & Elmwood SLOMBA'S SL0MBA than 1 mile ■ Jeans Plus next to EYE CATCH • '*■ Jeans, cords, jackets, skirts, blouses, Indian spreads People towns JEANS for a woman to travel down the Mississippi,” Porpiglia claims, since it’s constant rowing and heat. But there is no reason a woman can’t handle more conventional means, such as biking, he maintained. The danger is in the cities, he suggested, not in the country. “If you present yourself as being weak and easy to take advantage of, then if you find somebody who’s inclined to do so, they will. But if you come across as being able to take care of yourself, you’ll be alright,” he concluded. Next year, Porpiglia plans to bike up to Alaska and then down the west coast. From there, he is unsure of where he’ll go next. He is sure, however, thht he won’t spend the rest of his life in Buffalo.

The problem is you never yeard of these UB Bulls. You’ve been exposed to the Wolverines and the Buckeyes and the Cornhuskers, but the Bulls? You figure that at a SUNY school you might as well forget about live collegiate sports. Well, before you give up. you might want to check with us first— The Spectrum sports pages. Here you can read about all of the school’s athletic activities, the individuals who make it exciting and entertaining and the men and women who run the show. You will learn about Jim Rodriguez, the grid Bulls’ >ifte ,u .rterback, and Gary Quatrani, Rodriguez’ partner in crime at the wide receiver position—both of whom will be in action tomorrow at 1 p.m. when the football team (Division III, but don’t let that scare you) kicks off the season at Rotary Field against Cortland State. If you would rather play football yourself, you can join the intramural squad. The same can be said for soccer and softball, both of which feature extensive intramural programs under the guidance of-Bill Monkarsh. Varsity sports abound at this University, ensuring that nobody follows just football —even at this time of year. Within a couple of weeks, soccer, tennis, baseball, golf, cross-country, field hockey and volleyball will get rolling. The best way to keep tabs on the different Bulls’ and Royals’ (women’s teams) games is to check The Spectrum's Backpage under Sports Information, or to simply drop by Clark Hall and pick up an available schedule. Each sport has its following, and each follower has his reasons for remaining loyal. The soccer crowd appreciates the Division 11 Bulls’ balance and constant hustle. Although the team finished ’78 under .500, the country’s fastest growing major sport attracts new faces (and legs) each j year. The wrestling fans here probably can’t get tired of seeing the Bulls rank among the elite of Division 111, and most will never forget the 1977 championship. All-Americans Tom Jacoutot and Tom Egan are at the pinnacle! of their sport, and should be helped by coach Ed Michael’s promise of new talent for the upcoming season. Baseball’s fall season—admittedly not as important as the spring campaign—is about to start, and the Bulls surely will attract large crowds to Peele Field to marvel at lefty hurler Joe Hesketh’s hard fastballs and Ron couche’s hitting prowess. But hockey and basketball will certainly draw more than their share of students once their seasons get started. The Division 11 icers are a playoff contender every year, and if goaltender Bill Kaminska (who almost made the Olympic team last year) can still stop the puck and winger Tom Wilde can keep scoring, the 1979-80 season promises to be another success. The basketball Bulls expect to be helped, after a subpar ’79, by coach Bill Hughes’ recruits and returning veterans like Nate Bouie and Tony Smith. Women have come a long way in UB sports and now have a varsity program comparable to that of any other major university. The bowling Royals no longer have the services of Sue Fulton and Cindy, Coburn (lost to a phenomenon called graduation), whose efforts enabled the team to appear in the national tournament the last two years, but coach Jane Poland places her hopes on returnee Pam Detig and a host of new talent to make it three in a row. Women’s basketball is now under the direction of Linda O’Donnell (taking over for Liz Cousins), unfortunately, a new coach does not mean a new lease on succedss, but the change at least represents new hope.

President of the Civil Service Employees Association (CSEA) Bob Smith said, “Material like that should be stored some place where there’s no population center... Assemblyman William Hoyt, who recently authored a bill banning permanent storage of nuclear wastes in New York State, told The Spectrum, “We were against it. We think the wastes aren’t safe there.” Hoyt explained that government storage houses are lined with concrete, while Abbott Annex is a metal building that is potentially endangered by fire, lightening, or blasting tremors from the Rapid Transit construction currently underway on the Main Street Campus. Regarding these potential hazards, Pierro told The Spectrum, “The material is flammable, but the fire is more of a hazard than the radioactivity, and a spill could be cleaned up with soap and water.” BARRELS OF RADIOACTIVITY: A plan to store low-level radioactive wastes in the Abbott Annex has been scrapped by the University. The plan came under fire from the Civil Service Employees Association and area politicians. Many people in the Division of Continuing Education (DCE), which is currently located in Abbott —next to the Annex—were opposed to- the plan. DCE Dean James Blackhurst said of the opposed, “A lot of people have fears about any hazardous waste and nobody wants it near them. I think there’s a significant distrust of all authority and government standards.” Blackhurst pointed .out that tragedies such as the Love Canal make the issue one of credibility as well as substance. University Safety Officer and member of the Radiation Safety Committee Alan Bruce said that building an acceptable facility on the Amherst Campus would be one alternative. However, he noted it would cost at least $200,000, and could take years to be approved by the Legislature and get in the State budget. Bruce added that there might be more security problems at that location as well as complaints from the Town of Amherst. Prior to the storage at Howe, the wastes were kept in the campus nuclear reactor, but the Radiation Protection Department started receiving too much waste to handle adequately. _Bruce explained that UB is one of the last universities to charge researchers for radioactive waste disposal. His department notified researchers here in July 1978 that in one year they would be held responsible for waste disposal costs. Researchers were advised to include the costs of disposal in their grant applications. Biochemistry professor Alexander Brownie explained the difficulty of obtaining these funds. All grants awarded to University faculty are processed through the University Research Office in Albany. It is not unusual to begin work on a grant before getting paid, due to bureaucratic delays. Brownie noted that it wouldn’t help to get funds for waste disposal months after the wastes have been generated. According to Bruce, every year about four shipments of liquid wastes are sent to Washington, costing $12,000 per shipment, and two shipments of solid wastes go to South Carolina, costing $6000 per shipment. Bruce said that one more shipment to Washington might be necessary, due to the 3200 barrel capacity of Howe. The problem, he noted, is that “if researchers get charged nothing, there will be a continuing increase in wastes.” Conversely, “if researchers are charged too much, there might be some irresponsible dumping of radioactive wastes.” Choose up to 4 erfthese software packages...FREE!

The Cortland graduate will take the reigns at UB this fall following the sudden announcement that August 1 Liz Cousins was moving on to run the basketball program for the Army Cadettes. O’Donnell would like to see the team regain its ability to be competitive, something the Royals rarely were capable of last season under Cousins. “I’d like to play a running game while applying pressure defense,” O’Donnell noted. “1 don’t know the material yet and presently it is difficult for me to get ahold of some of the recruits.” After a successful career at Cortland, where she was a co-captain in her senior year, O’Donnell went on to coach at the high school level in Western New York for five years. Until appointed to her post at UB, the Jamaica New York native recently handled the coaching duties at Amherst High School where she instructed present Royals Lisa Keating and Maureen Quinlivan.

Poor performance Applications are available at Sfl Office and must be submitted to Sfl Office by Under Cousins’ leadership for three years, the Royals’ record roller-coasted, with the highlight coming in the 1977-78 campaign when Buffalo finished 12-7. Last year, numerous cases of academic ineligibility plagued the team, in addition to certain starters’ decision not to return for personal reasons. At the finish of the season the Royals’ record was a disappointing 4-16, which included losses to Cortland, 80-11, and St. John Fisher, 103-67. A 73-72 nipping of Potsdam late in the season was Cousins’ finest hour September 14th. during the dismal year. Playing the same schedule again this year, O’Donnell is not sure how the Royals will match up. “A lot will depend on the height situation and shooting potential—-that’s the key factor,” O’Donnell projected. In addition to O’Donnell’s appointment, Buffalo has added two other varsity coaches for the new school year. Former UB track and field coach Alfred Heinen, who held the post in 1975-76, will return to the same position, replacing Richard Bell who served this past year. Bell, who split his time between coaching and attending Law School, laid a solid foundation for future track programs and it will be up to Heinen to devote full attention to the budding sport.

The plane immediately dropped, leaving my stomach few minutes of a stalling, my rigid grip on the chair finally eased up. Monte then tipped the right wing and we started to make an ascent inside the thermal, all the while examining the two variometers which were measuring the rate the air was pushing us up. A thermal is one of two basic types of air currents that pilots manipulate to gain altitude; gaining altitude is the crux of the sport. Monte pulled out of the thermal going and suddenly we were somewhere limit one coupon per customer per visit coupon expires Sept. 12, 1979 or while they last sound The aerodynamics of the craft insure that there can be no sudden. Safe and fatal drop out of the sky. There is a glide ratio—ours was 23 to 1—meaning the plane can glide 23 miles for every mile it is up. It also has a ‘minimum sink speed,’ the rate which the craft can be forced to decend. As we streamed along above the rolling green countryside, with an infinite view, 1 finally felt relaxed. One of the main thrills of glliding is in using the craft’s vast capabilities to roam almost anywhere. We shot back into a thermal from the glide, a move called a “chanelle” where the right wing is tipped so that it is perpendicular to the ground. Finally, we fell out of the thermal and headed towards the airport as my 25 minute ride neared an end. Monte assured me of the plane’s landing capabilities, and of his own expertise. “There are probably 20 different fields 1 can land in right now,” he siad. “I also bet you that I can land within a foot of any given spot on the runway.” Already down $20 along with an expected five dollar bounced check charge, I didn’t want to risk losing any more. We made a slow, rounding turn which placed us above the foot of the runway. The plane sped up as it lowered, then met the bumpy runway, with Monte adroitly keeping the wings parallel to the ground. The first lesson glided to a hall, but I wondered how it would feel to control the stick myself.

Knee AN ALTERNATIVE; Martha Pastel and Jonathon Welch, proprietors of a bookstore born of a true appreciation for books and the communication between words and the reader. A mere change of name not heart—for bookstore by Joyce Howe Martha Pastel, The first alternative bookstore in the University area has changed labels again. Commonly known as Everyone’s Book Coop, Inc., in the buffalo phone book, the name is Talking Leaves. But the now philosophy that spurred on the cooperative nametag remains. 3102 Main Street, the store was put up for sale by its original owner in the Fall of 1974 and bought by a group of devotees made up of mostly UB graduate students. Concerned that what they fell to be the City’s only “literary” bookstore continue to run, the group borrowed enough money from various friends and neighbors to buy Everyman’s as a coop with paying membership... Menjbers would pay $5 annually as fees. Electing two members to be paid workers sharing duties that would basically entail the overseeing of general operations, the group’s enthusiasm was furthered by the fact that many of its members had Located at previous cooperative experience Dressed in jeans with his long brown hair tied back, one of those two elected members, Jonathon Welch, now muses, "We went into it naively we didn’t realize how much and how hard the work would be.” ... Former students In 1974, Welch was then a graduate student in UB’s English department. Abandoning his academic career for Everyman’s, he still performs the same duties he was first assigned by the original board. His present partner is * FOLK * ROCK also a fprmer English Managing Editor * department graduate student and original board member. Together, they form the main work force and backbone of the bookstore. Incorporateing the store into a coop under the New York State law in May 1975 (and renaming it Everyone’s Book Coop two years later amidst cries of “sexist”), Welch soon realized the impracticably of the law’s requirements as it would apply to the running of Everyman’s. Under the State’s Cooperative Law, designed in the 1930’s for the benefit of the agricultural and dairy cooperatives springing up at the time, members of a coop are required to work at least four hours weekly. One problem with this, as explained by Pastel, is that, "This business is really different from a food coop. In that type of coop, the kind of work members can do are definite tasks such as bagging herbs .That can always be done. Most of the work done here is paperwork that may involve ordering books or just shelving.” Such work often cannot be efficiently done by a staff whose work schedule is not consistent; involving the paperwork processing of books and periodicals more often than not demands a certain amount of continuity. And as Welch soon realized, not many of the Book Coop membership (reaching 300) in 1977, were willing to commit themselves to set work hours. Inevitably, the bulk of the work load fell on the two paid workers. —continued on BLUES * page COUNTRY LIVE MUSIC Every Wednesday, Friday and Saturday Home of 134 Different Sandwiches 30 — SHORT um come ms -News Used MEDICAL NURSING DENTAL CIVIL SERVICE REVIEW BOOKS PAPERBACKS in all subjects POSTERS PRINTS COLLEGE SUPPLIES • • • • • HEWLETT PACKARD CALCULATORS 3610 Main St, Eggertwille (Main near Bailey - across from US.) - FREE PARKING 833-7131 - at the UrworsHy Manor Motel V '« �DIRECT ENTRY Bookstore e •* 1 •* * * i The 5101. .3 fi fit* 2 f t • f'Otl t >* -»'« «■«&■■■■■■» cci» m \ tA M.

Welch and Pastel work an average of 45—50 hours a week for what roughly amounts to minimum wage. With a tinge of bemusement and embarassment, the two acknowledged that about six months ago, they gave themselves their first raise since 1975.' “Certified book junkies,” both Welch and Pastel have come to terms with the fact that though the store philosophically conceives ofitself as a cooperative, they are faced witb the problems and realities of entrepreneurs.

Library setting The bookstore views itself as a resource'center for the community, where people can drop in and use the books and publications as they would in a library. And indeed, the store’s interior lends itself to being thought of in such a light. Shelves of books arc sectioned according to subject. The walls are covered with colorful posters (brought in by various groups) announcing meetings and rallies such as one for a national march on Washington for gay rights and one declaring Tolstoy College instructor Charles Haynie a candidate for Buffalo Councilman. Newsletters and community announcements are displayed where they can be seen by those coming in, front tables and racks are full of so-called radical publications as Mother Jones and In These Times which reflect Welch’s political leanings. “We try to offer people books and journals which may be viewed as alternatives to those published by corporations,” asserted Welch. “We also stock a lot of local small press journals.” The bookstore’s two proprietors share the current worries of many shop owners along Main Street. “Because of the subway construction, not very many people are traveling on Main Street by car or foot. Accordingly, businesses are feeling the decrease in sales which can be attributed to the decrease in passersby. the bookstore has developed a loyal patronage over the years, it cannot compete in sales with the growing trend of “supermarket bookstores” —large chains such as Walden’s and Barnes Nobles.

It is one of those places persons have said they want to go to not because they desire to be there, but because they don't like where they are now. With this cultural blindspot in mind, the show of Tibetan art at the Albright Knox until October 3 is essential to flesh out what has always been fantasy to items. From a man’s chupa, a Tibetan full- a length robe worn throughout the year, to basic daily utensils, these items serve not only as art, but indicate the status of religious fervor of the nomads. Tibetan Buddhism The six rooms of objects ranging from a small man’s earring to a summer tent for housing several Lhasa nobility came largely from the efforts of a medical missionary, Albert L. Shelton, who collected the items on trips in the early 1900’s. Killed by bandits on one of his exploratory trips in 1922, the collection he largely brought to this country remains one of the few doorways to life of early 20th century Tibet. The exhibition’s title, "Tibet: A Lost World,” in- us. Geographically wedged between India and China, Tibet traded with these two behemoths as early as the seventh century and the art of the country reflects these liaisons. The nomads of Eastern Tibet, in which this collection from the Newark Museum is especially strong, shows that interchange of culture in Asia. For a nomad we’re having fun. And of course, we want you to have some fun with us. Read and keep us informed of what you’re feeling. Our opinions aren’t the final say no matter the power of print, but we’re not too humble to announce that we know what we’re writing about. There is a lot to talk about in these pages as long as rock and roll will never die and life imitates art. But keep reading with a careful eye—it’s the only way you’ll ever catch all the rays. —the Prodigal Sun editors of Buffalo' but . . dicates the rapid change Tibet has undergone since 1959 when it entered into the modem world or rather, the modem world entered it. Tibetan Buddhism, the religion of most of Tibet, impinged upon every aspect of Tibetan life. Life and death meant nothing without the accompanying rites from the monks and higher officials of the Gelupa sect that dominated religion in Tibet. Under them, the office of Dalai Lama was perpetuated until the present. The Buddhism of the Gelupas was quite different than that found in other Asian Buddhism sects and brought a love of spectacle and of the sacred objects that accompanied them. Tibetan chic Prayer boxes, charm wheels, some with intricately carved decorations of fine silver filagree telling religious stories or with per- mutations of the lotus in a basically circular form were necessary items for every Tibetan This collection culls Tibetan society from three basic classes of the early 20th century—the Lhasa nobility of the East, the Monk class and the nomads. Together these classes meld this collection to provide a glimpse into a world past, into what was always the only plausible repository for the West’s somewhat condescending fantasies of the land. Tibet 1979 is engaged in modernization and squirms under the thumb of China. While there is little chance that Tibetan art will become the King Tut of Buffalo, there has never been a better time to start the rage. The 14th Dalai lama has made his first visit to this country and for once, we're one of the few places where that culture can be appreciated—not as we thought it was, but for what it was.

Southside Johnny Singing by Squire From the depths of Asbury Park to the steps of Harriman Library come the amazing Southside Johnny and his Asbury Jukes. Stemming from an early association with Bruce Springsteen on the Jersey boardwalks, Southside Johnny has, throughout the years, captured, as well as developed, those elements of summer fun, drinking beer and dancing in the streets. What better combination could you ask for tomorrow than the Squire Fountain area, cold beer (three for one dollar) and the brassy rock n roll of the Asbury Jukes' songs of love and good times sung in Johnny Lyons' gutsy growl. Also appearing will be the jazz/fusion band Bellvista and another act to be announced. If it rains, the gig will be moved to Clark Gym with tickets costing two dollars. This move by UUAB to brin£ music of such a high participatory nature should prove to be an excellent way to end the summer and begin the school year. Let’s hope for more of the same. When Southside and Co. perform "WeTe Havin A Party,” let's hope it’s more than a song. Participate!

When they told me they’d been working on this project for about a year now, my first question was a cynical "Why?" Refraining from the 'why' partly because I've come from being ambivalent towards the scene to appreciating parts of it, I let 'them' ex plain it. Them' came in the form of a publicity man called Bruce Marsh who works in a little dungeon hole in the Center, which to me was neither quiet nor stimulating, but which to him must be more home than the home where he keeps his bed. Anyhow, he had this gleam in his eye which either signified madness or some dream. His mouth could hype like a radio d.j. who drinks too much coffee. "I don't see why anyone from the University hasn't inter viewed me sooner," said Marsh. "We've got the biggest Ednah Holt Do you wanna dance? party you’re ever going to see with the disco scene, and that should be very attractive. I’d go if I were still a student there. It will definitely be worth the money.’’ The cost is $15 for a single ticket, but it’s all to benefit the United Way and shine the national spotlight on Buffalo Drinks at what Marsh calls "the Woodstock of Disco” will be only one dollar. There’ll be shops and dancin’ and a lot of sweat. (I like to watch people sweat from the wings—always watchin’ it from the wings.) Buffalo gold "All the bands we have are Top 40 disco bands," said Marsh. The disco folks include Gloria Gaynor, The Tramps, The Raes, Edna Holt, Direct Current, Musique, Fern Kinney and others. There’ll be disco dance, disco food at the disco diner, disco door prizes like disco Capri cars, 40 disco bars, disco vacations, disco souvenirs (free shirts and whistles), a disco train to bring in the artists, disco boutiques and more. You can get a $3 discount on tickets at any Fotorr.al location. Consider that Marsh told me all this in the space of about five minutes—like a disco 12-inch disc played at a quick speed. I left him as he went to a press conference heralding the start of a hotel mall complex in the downtown area. Because disco is a multi-million buck business, Marsh shouldn't worry about the disco selling well tomorrow night. But he may need to be an alchemist to turn those billions into some Buffalo gold.

Body Meta is a stunning beauty and a prime case of the expressive might that is Ornette Coleman. A point, please. Those who choose to label Ornette’s current use of electric guitars as a ‘‘disco-funk” move have apparently missed three vital points. Blues people have been making great music from sharp-toned electric guitars long before nonsensical forms of "pop” music and promoters fed people the notion that only neon pointers show the lyrical way. ," Ornette's music has, throughout the years, shared the common factor of Ornette's Texas R&.B roots—upfront with daring, and highly imploring. Thirdly, one good listen should show you (if you can play it just oncel) this music don’t play mess, and wont stand for sassl Our acoustic voyage thru the body electric begins with “Voice Poetry.” Immediately, drummer Shannon Jackson lays down bassist Jamaaladeen Tacuma further bumps on the urge to clap some crazy jive, guitarists Bern Nix and Charles EUerbee (along with Tacuma) begin to feed Ornette’s harmonious fire to the stomp. You begin to (?nse that the hands clap merrily for something other than jive, as the magic dances your head with expanding step. Ornette sails in. His alto saxophone playing, more than ever, talks of need and fulfill-, ment and all the love that few take the "Home Grown” is sweet, too, in special grit of human grandeur, with the theme shouting some fire-preaching holy ghost testifying. Some old-time religion anew! Ornette will coax, throughout this LP, merging tonalities from the guitarists that resound with trumpet’s ring (His own? Or was Don Cherry on his mind?). By the time "Macho Woman” comes around, we hear a rhythm play Ornette utilized on Free Jazz, but here it's even more powerful. The rhythm I speak of conjures visions of ancient African ritual: pygmies’ chant to bring the lion down, perhaps. (Here, we must concern ourselves with jackals.) "Fou Amour” is one of those beautiful ballads that Ornette is a master at evoking. Once more, one feels and sees the warmth time to notice in themselves.

Not only do the Monorails and Satellites series offer fine insight into Ra's Improvising Artists LPs; they present excellent Music standing on its own merits (as any works of Sun Ra will). This first album begins with "Sapce Towers," leaping high and fierce with attuning finesse, like Ra's lead singer June Tyson spreading the dance of moonlight around. "Cognition," as the title may suggest, takes one by the hand into flight, flowing and unfolding right at the center of your sense. There peeps the solitary luminescence of the "Skylight." The single light from this rafter opens into the ethereal tenderness of "The Alter Destiny The beautiful standard “Easy Street” is the only non-Ra tune on the LP, and here especially they Myth-Reality shows that lyrical versatility that has stood him strong over 2S years of detractors and silent conspirators. While others waste time with hate that belies, Ra just keeps going straight for the Truth, and the Truth is Love. Love is an Easy Street to live for, this Music says (Wonder if Ra and Monk have ever met?) “Blue Differentials” is a beauty of the soil and roots, bringing those powerful elements of blues and boogie striding hard on the drive. This elegance opens a wider terrain as "Monorails and Satellites” waltzes the very stars into Black Magic. The climax and prelude is "The Galaxy Way," starting as a lullaby trinkiing in the high keys, then becoming sassy shaking down the low keys. At the tune's crux, Sun Ra poises all elements to face one another, and unite. —michael F. Hopkins I | - others would reserve for ears only.

Its spirit should not shrivel up at the end of a work day or week or for that matter, a school season. In short, an urban area whose life is seasonal is simply not a city. Not that I’ve been the first to discover it, but 1 am happy to affirm that Buffalo is a city. That some students leave every May does not daunt the pulse of the city. If anything, Buffalo's social and cultural life seems to race, squeezing in, as it were, a year’s activities in one of two seasons some jokingly refer to Buffalo as having, July 4 being one (the other they call winter). Unlike temporary but strong streams of life that typify cultural oases surrounding Buffalo—Artpark in Lewiston, the Institute in Chautauqua, Shaw Festival in Niagara-onthe-Lake —Buffalo’s cultural life does not need the melting of winter’s snows to feed its stream.

For many, the renaissance of the classis Buffalo summer began with the Allentown Art Festival. 200,000 ppersons strong this summer, the 22nd edition of this Buffalo tradition carried hope as well as hype for the city the stage Theater, despite the reputations of its professionals for going into summer doldrums or worse, hibernation, was rich and varied. The fourth season of Shakespeare in the Park,sponsored by UB’s Theater Department, mounted two plays, A Comedy of Error s and Much Ado About On ... Nothing. While professional theater was closed, community theater and newcomers to the Theater District rallied to fill the gap. Eden, a strong, new production at the differences and similarities between West Indian and American blacks, had a cast conveying most of the play's glory. The Real Inspector Hound at the Tralfamadore Cafe by the Ken-Ton players respectably kept the British wit of the Stoppard play dry. Downtown, a newcomer to the Theater District, Theatre Atreus, prepared for its opening season starting with Godspell, and along with the Theatre of Youth Company, did not confine themselves to their home base, preferring instead to travel and play to various neighborhoods. A vertiable glut of dance came to Buffalo in conjunction with Artpark, presenting an excellent broad cross-section of modern dance in America. Merce Cunningham, Bella Lawisky, Paul Taylor—the names read like a Who’s Who of dance. Celluloid In the city UB's summer film series was as provoking as ever, including a series of Antonioni independentfilms by Buffalo filmmakers. The city's cinema wasn’t any slouch Highlights included a Him series sponsored by Media Study/Buffalo on the development of the film musical at the Buffalo Historical Society as well as the Evans Theater’s ambitious program of foreign films that otherwise would never have been seen here, to name two. And the gamut of first-run studio features was enough to make anyone blue from the airconditioning, albeit, it would take a long time with the reduced air-conditioning the ‘discovered’ energy crisis brought to the movies. And the list goes on . , . Of necessity, this is but the quickest of impressions of this Buffalo summer confined solely to the visual and performing arts. One thing puzzles me, however, something that someone will have to explain to me; why on the Fourth of July it was decidedly cool. Buffalo the enigma. It refuses to be categorized—even if it is the largest small either. city in America. �: i I IF WE CAN FILL A HG ROOM LIKE THE ALL-NEW ! | | THINK WHAT WE GO SEE AND HEAR THE EXCITING SOUND SYSTEM AT THE PUB SOON...

Written by and also starring television's Mr. Nice Guy Alan Alda, The Seduction of Joe Tynan la too obvious title) does little to dispel the shadow cast over politics and politicans by Watergate. Alda as Joe Tynan is a liberal Democratic New York State Senator who prides himself on a job well done and done sincerely. Fac ed with the upcoming presidential election year, Senator Tynan discovers himself being swept up in the possibilities of his political future—a future that promises to add more strain to his private life as husband and father while promising to make him even more of the people’s choice. Loosely based on those two ubiquitous figures Teddy Kennedy and Jerry BrOwn, Joe Tynan furthers Alda’s image as the nice-liberal-Americanintelligent male. He is a man who is not oblivious to weaknesses and temptation —even his own. Yet he is too much the politician to let them stand in the way for long. With a wife and two children located in suburban Westchester and visited only on weekends, it is evident Joe Tynan is keenly aware that there are two sides to an issue Power Directed by Jerry Schatzberg, the film provides us with a perspective on politicians balancing its inherent cynicism. Alda’s script and, more strongly, the cast, por- tary the country’s elected as men and women whose youthful ideals inevitably corrupted by the lure and moral compromises ofpower. As one aging colleague tells Tynan— after sitting through a futile effort to get a bill passed— when it all becomes an attempt to get "clout and keeping it... you forget why you’re [even] here.” The film’s success lies in become making us feel for these people. With the talent of a seasoned actor, veteran Melvyn Douglas gives a perfor mance expanding the limitations of his role as a senile Southern senator afraid of being ousted from the seat he’s held so long. Wary of losing the next Democratic nomination to a younger and better looking candidate, Douglas is a man trapped by the strength of public image and appearance that so often makes up the criteria for a candidate's victory. When he lapses into bouts of French during his conversation, the pain of the lost politician is evi dent in his clouded eyes. Real women And then there are the women. In no other film in recent years, not even the socalled women’s films such as Julia and The Turning Point, have the female roles been written so warmly and acted so convincingly. As Tynan’s wife, Barbara Harris departs from her usual comedic roles and bares the soul of a working wife and mother abhorrent of the nasty side of political life. The frustrations of this woman are the identifiable frustrations of modern relationships—the inability to battle the extemalc that have nothing to do with emotions. And Meryl Streep is a marvel as the Southern belle who is also the independent and tough civil rights lawyer, her ambition matching Tynan’s and drawing them together. Inevitably, The Seduction of Joe Tfnan may be as false to avid political watchdogs as the Senator’s supposedly genuine signature on letters sent to constituents, but in the end the film's long seductive arm of characterizations and feeling pulls us in.

I only wish the people could get their hands on half of . . . Lou Reed, The Bells (Arista) Some people are calling this Lou Reed's "jazz” album, probably beause of the collaboration with Don Cherry on "All Through the Night.” I’d prefer to call it a roots album. Focusing specifically on the second side, along with the Cherry piece, is a composition written by Reed and Buffalonian Ellard Boles (formerly known as Moose from the band Freeze, remember them?) entitled "Families.” t’s a melancholy look at the divisions of the urban family. What Reed has done here is touch on the movement of music from an R&.B root into what some people might loosely classify as “jazz.” The meander ing effects laid down by saxaphonist Marty Fogel no doubt contribute to this idea. Side one of this disc reveals another interesting and strong collaboration with Nils Lofgren, three of the tougher tunes on the album ("Stupid Man,” "With You” and "City Lights”—about Charlie Chaplin coming out of it. Blind Date, Blind Date (Windsong) A by-product of San Fransico, Blind Date (not to be confused with Gary Wilson and the Blind Dates) is an attempt at that typical Seventies' mainstream crossover which arrives as a directionless package of images and ideas. Moving from songs "Boys Will Be Boys" and "feaby Goodbye,” where the sound successfully resurrects the open chording and anonymous harmonies of the Merseybeat (a la Bram Tchaikovsky and the Records), to such lame Boston ish material as Do You Love Me?” and Twin Kngines,” it quickly becomes ap- Dancing to know Magazine is visionary parent that Blind Date is bent on for mulas; ready to appeal to those immersed in the "New Wave” as well as those entranced with post-glitter sensibilities. Diversification should never be looked upon as a problem, but this album shifts with as much frequency and imagination as the San Andreas fault. With the amount of quality rock ’n’ roll coming out of San Francisco, don’t trust Blind Date, they’ll change their name and act just to go out with you. * Ian Dury and the Blockheads, Do It Yourself (Stiff/Epic) When the first flood of British "New Wave” hit America, one of the more important subsets was the Stiff roadshow; Elvis Costello, Nick Lowe, Wreckless Eric, Larry Wallis and lan Dury. The,most comical was Ian Dury. He could very easily have been considered the Lewis Carroll of rock ’n’ roll for his excessive use of nonesense words in his English pub styled rockers. His infamous "Sex and Drugs and Rock 'o’ Roll” became somewhat of a counterpoint anthem as Ian Dury music began to permeate the ranks of New Wave with the ingredients of disco. Well, the same goes for Do It Yourself. His group is very tight, the horn section sizzles, and the backbeat is insistent as Dury continues to find himself very comfortable mumbling maniacal phrasings over funk/disco arrangements. Light-hearted silliness that 1 can’t get next to. becomes an instrument. This is their second album. Discover Magazine and learn the shape of the future. The Clash, The Clmmh (Epic) The truer exponents of any genre will ALWAYS survive the poseurs. Unfortunately, the movement known as British PUNK music has suffered widespread, misguided criticism by people whose suspicions have been magnified by the actions of poseurs The Sex Pistols are dead. The Damned and the Buzcocks' Impact is minimal. Only The Clash have been able to survive the trendiness, to live in-between the hype while providing music of off-setting qualities, sympathy to anger, power with melody. This is a re-release of the first album for those of us in the States. Just examining the titles on this first Clash album—"White Riot,” "Hate and War,” “Complete Control,” "London's Burning”—reflects a situation in England laced with social, racial and economic problems; a situation which has not only fathered punk music but which has, for the most part, escaped the masses in a larger, non-unified America. Understanding this turns the Clash version of Sonny Curtis’ “1 Magazine, Secondhand Daylight (Virgin) The underlying theory of Magazine's music is one that is currently generating a curious subset of groups filling the void once known as "progressive" music: dance to know. This entire concept of making dance music intelligent and intelligent music danceable has opened the door for a flood of bands whose importance will be better understood in the Eighties; Devo, Talking Heads, Ultravox, M, XTC.. . Founder Howard Devoto was a member of the Buzzcocks, one of the premier punk bands in England, until he finally decided that punk no longer was a reaction but something to react against. The result became Magazine; a band that combines a balanced attack of John McGeoch's slashing guitar work and.Dave Formula’s synthesizing against a very consistent, danceable rhythm section. Devoto is the visionary; interjecting very cebebral, im agistic lyrics of futuristic alienation and scrambled egos. His voice is clear and sharp, like a Shakespearean actor He stretches syllables and shapes sounds.

Also happening here is an important diffusion of reggae music as delivered in “White Man In Hammersmith Palais" and an excellent cover of Junior Murvin's "Police and Thieves.” The Clash survive. The Kinks, Low Budget (Arista) It seems cliche to say that the Kinks can't record a had album. With so continued on page B-10 �I Mania continued from page B-9. . . !P many of the newer artists springboarding off the forerunners of the British 75 Invasion—the Beatlfes, the Who, the Kinks, the Yardbirds—it is not only ap£ prorpiate to find the Kinks still releasg ing albums,it is of little surprise to find § Low Budget is one of the best high| energy Kinks' releases in some time *2 Amidst all the cries that the Kinks had h "gone disco” upon the advanced 01 release of "Superman,” out came Low 2 Budget with a string of successful Jj rockers; "Attitude,” “Pressure,” "Catch E Me Now I'm Falling” (with its blatant a "Jumping Jack Flash” hook); great blues/satire ("A Gallon Of Gas") and a tinge of Third World ("National Health”). Ray Davies, as evidenced in the Kinks' recent Buffalo performance, shows no signs of artistic fatigue. Brother Dave Davies, likewise, continues to mature on guitar. Cliche; It seems the Kinks can't record a bad album. “■ § Lene Lovich, Stateless (Stiff/Epic) Lene Lovich comes to us from Detroit via England, a cosmic transplant whose electrifying voice squeezes between the soulful sensuality of womanhood and those teasing giggles of junior high school. Her lyrics, mainly co-written with guitarist Les Chappell, revel in individuality; the excitement to follow your feelings and emotions are only accentuated by Lovich's flirting vocaliations. "Home" totally dissolves the notion of the nuclear family and the cliche of the hearth. "Lucky Number” is an energetic testimony to changing your mind, something people are so often fearful of. She then tops the convention of the love song with her renditions of Nick Lowe’s "Tonight" and Tommy James’ “I think WeTe Alone Now.” Inspirational verse from "Too Tender (To Touch)”; "Too tender to touch/ To fragile to lust/ We all need A comic transplant She redefines emotions so very much." I find this album redefining my emotions. The Rumour, Frogs, Sprouts, Clogs and Krauts (Arista) The distinguishing back-up band for Graham Parker (Brinsley Schwarz—guitar, Martin Belmont—guitar, Andrew Bodnar—bass, Bob Andrews—keyboards, Steve Goulding—drums), the Rumour boast a release of obvious European social comment, as shown by the chosen title. But with the possible exceptions of "Leaders" and “Euro" (of course), the album tends to stick to messages of love ("Loving You (Is Far Too Easyl," "One Good Night," “1 Can’t Help Myself”) and detachment ("Frozen Years,” “Tired Of Waiting"). The music is the very solid rock 'n' roll that the Romour are consistently noted for; coming from either an R&.B or reggae base (which are actually pretty much one in the same when you come down to it). As for lyrics? Try out these words to "Emotional Traffic": "Red light, green light, yellow light Wait/ Green with envy and red with hatel And yellow with fear so you better stay clear/ Of emotional traffic.” 'Nuclear Gang' Blasts that last by Bradshaw Hovey Paul Jacobs and The Nuclear Gang is a film about nuclear death. Not death in a nuclear war but death inflicted by the U S. government during nuclear weapons testing. Paul Jacobs was an investigative journalist who went to southern Utah in 1957 to research the Army's nuclear weapons testing program. He had been told that soldiers and civilians alike were being exposed to nuclear fallout without warnings, safety precautions or post-test monitoring. His searching confirmed this—but it also led him into a contaminated area near the test site. It is this test spot, he believed, where he inhaled the radioactive particle which caused his death from cancer last year. Paul Jacobs and the Nuclear Gang is a gruesome, bitter film. Images of people telling how they were exposed and are now dying of cancer and leukemia are juztaposed with old army training and government propaganda films which promised that the tests were safe. One man from St. George's Utah, a town which was dusted with radioactive fallout during the tests tells how he and his neighbors had been exposed. "Them too, and they’re dead now. Makes you wonder.” Before the film concluded, he had died from leukemia. Suppression A clip of an old Army public relations film, entitled The Big Picture depicts a chaplain trying to calm a soldier’s fears about an upcoming nuclear test. The mushroom-shaped cloud, says the chaplain "rises to the heavens” with "all the colors of the rainbow.” It is "a wonderful sight.” The film clip would be hilarious if it were not con pRoofS's"!

A reporter’s professional canons demand that he be detached, dispassionate and objec tive in his search for the truth. Paul Jacobs, however, found himself tragically involved in the very story he set out to uncover more than two decades ago. Most reporters see events from the outside. Jacobs experienced this story—terminal cancer resulting from nuclear contamination—from the very inside. In one sequence Jacobs talks about the pain which comes from cancer while he injects his thigh Paul Jacobs Shoes and Boots Expires Sept. 12, ’79 1 trasted with sequences of soldiers being buffeted In their trenches by the radioactive windstorm— or with first hand accounts of soldiers being positioned on exposed hillsides within a few miles of the test blasts with nothing but their own hands to cover their eyes. One former soldier describes how he was blown out of his foxhole by the blast and how the wake of the blast left "blood, people screaming.” Since Watergate, "coverup” has been a much-used word. The Nuclear Gang gives some flesh to the concept of "coverup.” The film describes how the military and the Atomic Energy Commission (AEC) systematically denied any danger in the tests. It also discusses how a powerful military-governmentbusiness complex,with a bureaucratic commitment to nuclear weapons and energy, has worked to suppress scientific rsearch which casts a shadow on their claims of safety. The film shows just how political scientific knowledge can became. As American society decides about the future of nuclear power and weapons, those who control information about the dangers and costs of each will effectively control the decision. | (across from Main St. Campus) ■ | -688-0100--• r ' ' lr I-’ UNIVERSITY PtAZA �Carmen McRae Jazz royalty comes A whipping melody.

Ketter announced yesterday that he will undergo an evaluation this Fall —an announcement that many interpret to mean Ketter is interested in retaining his current post. Ketter told The Spectrum that since he has not instructed the Chancellor to proceed with a presidential search, his plans to be evaluated may demonstrate Under the new guidelines (see his interest in retaining his related story page 3),. the focus Capen HaH office.

The guidelines state: The does not prove that Ketter Trustees intend the guidelines wants to retain the Presidency. Under newly-approved evaluation presidential .guidelines, Ketter does not need to be reappointed by the SU.NY Board of Trustees to remain UB President. He must only undergo an evaluation; presidential evaluations have, in the past, been done every five years. Ketter was appointed President in 1970 and under the old guidelines, evaluated and reappointed in 1974-75. This Fall, he will be evaluated by a team of three presidents from outside the SUNY system, selected by Chancellor Wharton." The announcement, which was released to the press yesterday afternoon, shattered the summer silence surrounding Ketter’s plans. In fact, since last Spring, administrators have reextremely mained “tight-lipped” while faculty and students queried each other as to the President’s plans. Leadership role For months, Ketter has said that he would inform the University community of his intentions—be it to remain or retire from the Presidency—in September. University officials had speculated that Ketter would publicly disclose his decision at the first College Council meeting or during his annual “State of the University” address in September. One administrator told The Spectrum that he was “shocked, to say the least” that Ketter announced yesterday. Ketter. who is 50 years old, disclosed his plans in a memo addressed to Vice Presidents, Deans, Department Chairmen and Directors. In the memo, he stated Chancellor Wharton and I agree that there should be carried out this coming fall the review of the campus that is required by the Board of Trustees.” v . . a presidential review process Albany to discuss the details. SUNY Deputy for Campus Liaison Murray Block said that he was not surprised at Ketter’s examined: Ketter must complete his — “Presidential Statement’’ which, for the first time, will bccome a public document.

Block explained that — — — many potential presidents have" been located and the Chancellor The external team must meet with representatives of the various campus constituencies.

In this case, presidential search proceedings will follow. — — — — �* editorial CM Reaching judgement It appeals.that Robert L. Ketter would like to stay-President.lt is now up to the University to decide if it wants Robert L. Ketter. When the outside team comes to evaluate Ketter, the University should preclear, detailed, and documented irtformation explaining its support of, dt opposition to. Bob Ketter. It is imperative that members of the University community play an active role in evaluating the President. The following steps should be taken: —Students, faculty, and professional employees should all research how their individual constituencies feel about Bob Ketter. This research should concentrate specifically on how Ketter has affected each group, individually. For example, students should evaluate Ketter's stance on the mandatory activity fee and compare it to the actions of other SUNY sent it with * . - presidents. Representatives of the Student Senate, Faculty Senate, and Professional Staff Senate should convene an evaluation committee. Even though the new guidelines replace this campus-based constituency committee with an outside team of three presidents, members of the University community must jointly evaluate Ketter's presidency. For example, this committee could assess his academic leadership, the direction of policy, and the effects that have eminated from Ketter's office. Ketter should appear before this campus committee in Haas Lounge to publicly answer questions it may have. In fact, he should submit a self-evaluation to this committee prior to meeting with them so that the committee can formulate responsive as well as interrogative questions. Although Ketter is not required to meet with any such groups, he would be recognizing the importance of campus input in his evaluation by so doing. By failing to appear, the University would have grounds not to support him. Members of the local University Council and surrounding community should voice their opinion to this committee as well as directly to the v external review team. SUNY Chancellor Clifton Wharton should be invited to sit on the student, faculty, 'and professional staff committee as an ex oficio member. If he is to advise the outside team, then he should be advised of campus sentiment. The SUNY Board of Trustees should also select a member to serve as an ex oficio member of this campus committee. This way the Trustees can ensure that the outside evaluation team report accurately reflects the campus evaluation team's judgement. The outside evaluation team should disclose its schedule and opt to hold open meetings. This evaluation does not fall under the normal "personnel evaluations" category that cloaks closed meetings. Robert Ketter is a public figure and should be evaluated publicly. Before any of these steps occur, it is necessary to dfefine the duties and responsibilities of the President. To what extent hfls Robert Ketter fulfilled these tasks, what successes and failures has h#had, why have the failures occurred, were they resolved, and is he cabable of solving them in the future? We suggest that in defining the President's role, the following criteria be considered:... 1) Institutional Leadership: What policy directions has Robert Ketter supported and to what extent has he been able to implement these — SEAT OF POWER: June 24 marked the 9th anniversary of Robert Katter's reign as president.

Ketter. Somewhere between the hysterical reflex of the Buffalo community and the' resolute determination of the campus to right itself, came the impulse to nominate Ketter as University President in 1970. Almost since the day he took office, the University quieted, its halls returning to the conventions of academic life. Nothing that came out of the near anarchy of the period has had an impact on the University that can match Robert Kettcr’s. Ketter first came to UB in 1958 as Chairman of the Department of Civil Engineering. Widely recognized as a productive scholar, Ketter gained his first administrative job in 1963 when he became Graduate School Dean. Early in 1967, he was shifted to Vice President for Facilities Planning, where he helped to coordinate and plan what was at the time the largest education-related construction project in the world—the Amherst Campus. — plans? 2) Management: What has been Robert Ketter's ability to organize and work with an effective administration? 3) Interaction; To what extent is Robert Ketter able to deal effectively with segments of the University?

Another view is that Ketter felt he was not being These are just a few criteria which should be considered.

New York at Buffalo, definitely, To quell unrest — . him by tha Trustaaa—his appointment win continue In- Get tough In the midst of all this, Ketter was named by the State to head the temporary Hearing Commission on Campus Disorder, which later became a permanent commission—dubbed by students Ketter’s Kangaroo Court—and still officially exists today. Ketter became the focus of the “get-tough” effort on campus, which, along with his image as an organized, disciplined engineer, would later make him the perfect Law and Order man for a nervous community. Meanwhile, the presence of the Buffalo police on campus split Ahe University at its seams. Acting Executive Vice President Warren Bennis—considered to be a prominent candidate for the presidency—resigned in opposition to Regan’s permitting police on campus, resuming his former position as Vice President for Academic Development. While the divisions between the liberals and conservative faculty sharpened and faculty split into Regan and Bennis camps, Ketter was quietly establishing a name for himself on the Hearing Commission. Then chairman-elect of the Faculty Senate William Baumer, who himself was identified as a leading conservative on campus, said that the Hearing Commission was viewed as a significant move to establish order. “The commission was seen by many people as the first effective action; as reasonable, appropriate, etc. Ketter benefitted from that view,” Baumer observed. Regan resigns - Psychology professor Ira Cohen, who was then Social Sciences Dean, explained that there was “a reasonably-sized constituency in the University who Supported Ketter.” Cohen pointed to Health Sciences, Management and Engineering as areas that supported Ketter. Liberal faculty, predominantly in Arts and Letters and Social Sciences, were concerned about Ketter’s identification with conservatives, Cohen said. On April 13, 1970, Regan—under immense pressure throughout the year—announced he would resign effective August 31. The violence and factionalism had gotten so out of hand that few people gave Regan a chance as a Presidential candidate. The image of the University within the community had already suffered damage that would take years to repair when students took to the streets in May of 1970 after the Kent State killings. Students and police battled along Main Street for two successive days. Clearly, the next president of the University would have to restore order to the campus if relationships with the conservative, often reactionary, community were to improve. * factor One source said that, “Ketter was sold to the community, and that was very important.” For in fact, many people, including members of the UB University Council—which is responsible for nominating a new president to the SUNY Board of Trustees —saw the reparation of relations between the community and UB as the crucial factor in the selection process. It is this context thatKettcr’s “law and order” image Crucial • proved invaluable. English Professor Bruce Jackson remarked, “The only reason Ketter was endorsed was that he was the only solid Taw and order’ candidate.” Cohen asserted that “Ketter was viewed as acting with a strong hand, and that’s what a number of people were looking for.” But to put Ketter’s rise entirely in a political context is unjust. Ketter, who had held previous administrative posts, was viewed by many as a competent candidate with relevant administrative experience. In addition, he had stressed “sound fiscal management,” according to one source, and had been identified with the paramount goal of completing the yet-to-to-be-built Amherst Campus. One name The Search Committee concluded its deliberations and forwarded one name to the UB Council—Robert L. Kcttcr—as its recommendation of the best presidential candidate. The Council endorsed Ketter as its choice for University President late in June, 1970. The previous day, rumors of Kcttcr’s nomination had surged across campus, striking up significant opposition to Ketter as the Council’s possible selection. Twenty faculty members, comprised of 15 department chairmen and two deans, wrote SUNY ChanccllorSamuel Gould stating Ketter would be “unacceptable.” ' 7 However, on June 24, 1970, the SUNY Board of Trustees, after a one-and-one-half hour meeting, appointed Ketter by a 12-2 vote as the next UB President—to take office five days later. Opposition to Ketter’s selection resurged with a new intensity—and has continued until this day. Since then, Ketter’s reign has never been far from the political infighting that, on a much larger scale, helped put him in pffice. �Indefinite term Trustees could remain silent—reappointment not needed Newly-approved SUNY Chancellor Wharton with consultation from Ketter, is responsible for gathering input from the appropriate campus constituencies. guidelines for the evaluation of campus presidents have, eliminated set five-year terms and left this University without a firm grasp of the length of Robert L. Ketter’s stay here. Ketter, slated to undergo an evaluation this Fall which would have determined whether he would have been reappointed, no longer needs to be reappointed bythe SUNY Board of Trustees to remain UB President. The President of a SUNY school serves M at the pleasure of the Trustees” and can be replaced any time. However, tne newly-approved Three-day visit The team will conduct a vfsit, make a preliminary report to the Chancellor, who will then discuss it with Ketter., A final report will be forwarded to the local College Council, which will then submit its evaluation “with any appropriate commentary” back to Wharton. The Chan cellor, along with Ketter, will present the SUNY Board of Trustees with the final evaluation report. Once discussed by the Trustees, the report will be released publicly. three-day site guidelines “discontinue evaluations at precise five-year intervals but require them at some time within five years for each president.” Deputy to the Chancellor for campus liason Murray Block told The Spectrum that the purpose of the new guidelines was twofold: “to give the Chancellor and the Trustees an outside look at a campus president and that the evaluation should help the President in his job.” Block, who was a member of the committee that designed the new guidelines, noted that Chancellor Wharton has already identified close to 100 outside presidents who could possibly serve on the outside teams now needed for SUNY presidential evaluations across the State. Block pointed out that the length of the evaluation period has been altered from one year to four Ketter must still undergo an evaluation—SUNY Chancellor Clifton R. Wharton has proposed to Ketter that an evaluation start in October—but the new guidelines do not mandate action by the Trustees. Many people believe that if the evaluation is negative, the Trustees will ask Ketter to step down. Others suggest that if the review is mixed or positive, then it is unlikely the Trustees will act. Chairman of the SUNY Trustees Donald M. Blinken told The Spectrum that it may not be necessary for the Trustees to vocalize an opinion—meaning “no comment” could be taken as a sign of the Trustees’ support> for Ketter. However, Blinken also explained that the Trustees may prefer to express their view in order to clarify their standing and demonstrate their support, or lack thereof, for a campus president. months. Faculty role? The new guidelines also mandate changes ih how the various constituencies can gather input. “Evaluative information must be new i Outside team Under the new procedures, which the Trustees approved in late June/ campus presidents will be evaluated by a totally new set of guidelines with a drastically altered emphasis. Wharton said, “The new procedures are designed to shift the emphasis more towards an evaluation of the condition of each campus under the leadership of the president, rather than concentrating exclusively upon the individual.” rules. “This . . . the would preclude the use of an opinion polling or survey procedure for constituent input.” - A presidential evaluation will be conducted by a team of three presidents from outside the SUNY system. The new procedures eliminate the fivemember constituency-based committee that would have evaluated Ketter under the old guidelines. This committee was to have been an internal committee, comprised of representatives from the Student Senate, Faculty Senate, Professional Staff Senate, Administra- tion, and the College Council. In its place, the team of three presidents will review Ketter’s “presidential statement” which for the first time will become a public document. The outside team, to be handpicked by Thus, a Faculty Senate committee here—that was formed last Spring to discuss appropriate evaluation procedures for Ketter —has been forced to scrap its plans to distsribute a faculty survey. The committee, which is chaired by Law School professor Jacob Hyman, is now in the process of reorganizing, attempting to determine if, and how, it will evaluate Ketter. New guidelines wrest power from campus groups Alterations in the evaluation guidelines for SUNY Presidents have snatched away the directrole that students, faculty, and professional employees would have previously played in evaluating an incumbent president. The elimination of a campus-based constituency committee —which would have been comprised of representatives of the Student Senate, Administration, and local College Council—has left local constituencies concerned about the weight of their input in evaluating University President Robert L. Ketter. Under the new guidelines, an outside team of three presidents is responsible for conducting the evaluation and meeting with appropriate groups during a site visit to campus. The guidelines state, “The team sit$ visit of up to three days shall be used to talk with and receive the views of the President, Chairperson of the College Council, and the elected presiding officers of the campus faculty and campus student bodies, as well as such other persons and consti- tuents deemed necessary by the team Chairperson to obtain an accurate impression of the leadership and campus condition.’’ Meaningful participation Before the new procedures were approved, Faculty Senate Chairman Newton Carver wrote SUNY Chancellor Clifton Wharton that it is necessary to recognize “the importance of preserving, as a matter of Trustee’s policy, formally established procedures that assure an opportunity for the meaningful participation of faculty, staff, and students in the process of reappointment reviews of incumbent presidents.” Wharton responded that the new guidelines require appropriate persons and bodies be questioned by the external review team. Last month, Carver told The Spectrum that the new guidelines “are clearly designed to transfer power from local campuses to Albany. It was probably stimulated by the dispute at Stony Brook [where a local Council’s choice for President was rejected by the Trustees). “I don’t think it will be good for Buffalo in the long-run. There is a tendency to pull power and decision-making back to Albany,” he said. Student Association President Joel Mayersohn concurred with Carver. Mayersohn, who is part of the undergraduate/graduate student committee currently debating how to evaluate Ketter siad, “The new guildelines are absurd. Besides infringing on the local autonomy that this University should have, they allow SUNY presidents to serve indefinite terms. There is no way that this University should not be informed of the maximum length of lime its president can serve.” �The Spectrum ALWAYS ON TOP OF THE NEWS You can join us We need writers, photographers. artists and typesetters.

The law, which Governor Hugh L. Carey signed last week, was a pet lobbying project of the New York Public Interest Research Group. Since over 90 percent of the students who attend- UB’s medical and dental schools come from New York State, this University will no longer be able to rely on MED SCHOOL: Dean John Naughton (above) the MGAT (Medical College Aptitude Test) cites the MCAT as the "only objective criteria" and the DAT (Dental Aptitude Test) for for admission into UB's Medical School.

Feagans pointed only objective criteria. out that, in the early 1900s, UB’s Dean “It weakens our hand in that way, but I Squire developed the test that is believed ' don’t think it destroys us,” Naughton said. to have been the basis for the DAT.

Laughton said While Naughton preferred to wait for the medical school here would not force policy his committee to discuss UB applicants to take the MCAT or DAT alternatives, Dental School Dean William in another state. “1 don’t think there’s any reason to try to circumvent the State law,” he said. One headache that may emerge from this is that students will have to take more than one admissions exam. Even if the Dental School designs a joint exam with Stony Brook, Columbia and New York Universities, as Feagans has indicated it may do, prospective students might have to take the DAT for possible admission out of state and the New York test for possible admission in stqte. “It would be no problem,” Feagans asserted, pointing out that many schools already give supplemental tdsts such as Edwards’ Personality Preference test and Millers’ Analogy Test. “If the test is one of the criteria for admission, they would take it,” said Feagans. He believes even if students have to take a special UB exam, applications won’t drop signigicantly. Tl(e UB dental exam, if created, would be giVen after some applicants are eliminated, as a cost-cutting measure, Fea|£ms said. The test would then be used to separate the more qualified candidates. , - Lower quality? The AAMC and ADA refused to comply with the “Truth in Testing” law for varied reasons. According 'to AAMC President John A. Cooper,. “There are a limited number of questions that can be used in the MCAT,” and the quality of the exam would therefore suffer if the answers were made public.” Thomas J. Ginley of the ADA told The New York Times that disclosure of the answers as required by law would result in “compromising the quality of the test.” Naughton, unhappy with the AAMC’s DENTAL SCHOOL: Dun William Faagant (above) it exploring the faatibility of a University designed admissions test to replace the OAT. "It would be no problem," Feagans assarted. pullout, did not believe the law could lower the quality of the MCAT. “I can’t imagine that a competent and valid test could not be produced,” he said. Feagans did not think the law would affect most of the test, although he said it would “destroy” the preceptual motor ability test which is a feature of the DAT. He said a laboratory evaluation of fine manual dexterity would probably be used in a New York version of the DAT. The “Truth in Testing’ law will not go into effect until January 1, 1980 so its effects will first be felt by applicants for the freshman 1981 class. Teaching vs. research Professor’s tenure denial fuels on-going controversy by Joyce Howe envy that department,” he said of Wanner’s appointment at Calgary. The controversy sparked in the Managing Editor A desired career goal for most professors is tenure the academic equivalent of job security. At this University, as at others, professors come up for tenure consideration no more — than twice. Sociology professor Richard Wanner's case was reviewed last Fall for the second time and turned down amidst a controversy centering on the evaluation of teaching effectiveness. The three basic determinants of granting tenure and promotion are agreed upon by faculty and administration alike: teaching, research and service. What is not ‘It (teaching evaluation) seems to be just getting a lot of lip service Many departments want some cheap and easy way to evaluate teaching .* . . Sociology . agreed upon throughout academia is the relative weight of each when measuring the overall performance of a professor. Differing attitudes and theories of what the proper balance should be result in an often sharp University-wide split in philosophy. Wanner, not wanting to appear to have a “sour grapes” attitude when interviewed, is now preparing to move across the bo raw for a new position at the University of Calgary in Canada after being rejected for tenure here. Said to be highly regarded by many students, he was unanimously supported by his department but received negative votes’by those higher up. Department vs. Faculty First'voted down by the Social Sciences’ Personnel Committee an advisory board made up of a — Social Sciences Dean Kenneth Levy Initiative must come from departmen ts’ rotating membership of faculty representatives from various Social Science departments and by Social Science Dean Kenneth Levy, Wanner’s case was rejected - across the administrative ranks. He did not pass th£ scrutiny of Vice President for Academic Affairs Ronald Bunn, the Presidential Review Board (an appointed Faculty Senate body) and finally, President Robert L. Ketter. Sociology Department Chairman Constantine Yeracaris, who strongly supported Wanner’s case, spoke with Levy, Bunn and Inside: Sugar lovers beware —P. 4 / after the decision was handed down. Claiming that the unanimous support of the department should have been given more emphasis, Yeracaris questioned the influence of individual departments in the tenure and promotion process. Yeracaris said one of the primary criticisms leveled against Wanner involved the quality of his publishing record. According to Yeracaris, the Administration’s consensus was that Wanner wrote the majority of his material during the last year of his stay and that the amount of co-authored Ketter Child in us all—P. 5 / Taking material was too high. Yeracaris countered that SO percent is the typical percantage of articles co-authored in his field, nothing that Wanner’s percentage was only about ten percent higher. Sparks controversy Letters of recommendation, solicited from outside sources, ranged from “overwhelmingly negative” to “overwhelmingly positive.” As for teaching ability, Yeracaris said there is no reason to believe that it was not considered. He is .disturbed about “losing an excellent teacher.” “1 off—Centerfold / A camp Department by Wanner’s rejection prompted Levy to issue a Faculty memo clarifying his views on tenure and promotion. His basic philosophy expresses a firm unwillingness to support a case for tenure that does not minimally meet standards of performance” in each of the three areas of teaching, reserach and service except “under extraordinary” circumstances. Reluctant to discuss the specifics of the Wanner case, Levy reiterated his stance, saying that it is not uncommon for the larger faculty to overrule specific department sentiment on tenure. Levy speculated that often department members are too close to the person involved to be objective. He also "noted that while individual departments have their own standards, the Social Sciences Personnel Committee provides consistent guidelines. Task force Criticzed for not placing more significance on teaching in his decision, Levy is convinced that a clear method in evaluating teaching effectiveness is crucial. He said that “the ‘everyone knows’ attitude is not enough. ‘I know he or she is a good teacher’ is not good enough to base a decision on.” Levy suggested that anonymous or structured questionnaires be designed to —continued on page 15— film —P. 13 » �i U/B Artpark Dance Festival presented hy Office of Cultural Affairs 3 major dance companies from the 1979 Artpark sesason on U/B campus July 31 through August 10 2 o> > Merce Cunningham & Dance Company July 31 and August i, Clark Gym, 8 pm General Admission $3, U.B community $2 2.

Only in the sense that the UCO does not sponsor or support candidates for elective office afe they non-political. The UCO was created because a number of local church leaders saw that the vital interests of their churches and congregations and their most basic values were being subverted by some of the powerful social and institutional forces at work in America today. Rev. Donald S. Brown, Presbyter Executive for the Presbyterian Chui-ch in Western New York and one of the UCO’s founders, explained that these institutions are the business-commercial-financial corporations, governmental and educational bureaucracies; the media; entertainment and sports industries; organized crime; even religious bureaucracies.” And Brown explained further that they have always been well-organized to promote their interests, “interests increasingly not in the best interest of our families, neighborhoods, churches, and personal welfare.” The current UCO President Father Eugene Radon, puts it a bit more simply; “Individuals can’t do much about the things that affect their lives.” But, Father Radon, who is pastor of The Coronation of The Blessed Virgin Mary Roman Catholic Church, realized that church members acting together could have great power to confront the institutions which ‘.‘dominate” their lives. - — mm, >*<*» — — ss """T"------------ Community organization Brown and Father Radon were among the Catholic and Protestant who gathered to discuss these problems in Fall 1976.

At that meeting they decided to do two things: first, they formed the Sponsoring Committee tor Citizen s Organizations (SCCO) which later gave birth to the UCO; second, they invited the Industrial Areas Foundation (IAF) to assist them in their organizing.

But the Committee faces a self-imposed deadline in early August when it gives the three administrators an update report for “tentative approval fO c_ C < ” One of the most pressing tasks the Committee faced was to develop a set of criteria to determine course eligibility for the General Education program. UB’s General Education Program arose last year in response to many educators’ fears that students were no longer receiving a “well rounded education.” The Program is intended to provide that breadth in course work. The Committee expects that “courses will have to be created or substantially revised in order to pass review,” noting that existing cburses may not be up to newly-designed standards. The criteria are divided into three groups adminstrative guidelines, qualifications of instructors, and course content. After much discussion, the Committee ruled that courses must have no in formal prerequisites beyond other General Education courses order to ensure that courses be open to all students. Acceptable courses must also require a student to demonstrate his knowledge either through mathematics or writing. v Mayor's appointees may suggest slashing five Council positions by Joel DiMarco Associate Editor — — 1 Degree of sincerity Less concrete criteria for course content left the Committee open to criticisms of “unenforceability.” For instance. General Education courses are to “foster critical thinking” and relate the subject to other disciplines. Critics charge that courses could be made to appear deep while actually just scratching the surface or providing a litany of facts. Student Association President Joel Mayersohn noted that courses will be continuously monitored to ensure that they meet the criteria for a quality General Education Program. Responsibility also lies with the rest of the University, he said. “We have to assume a degree of sincerity on the part of professors,” said Mayersohp. Sincerity is also assumed on the part of the professional schools Engineering, Management and the Health Sciences. These schools had warned last Spring that they would find it difficult to fulfill General Edcuation requirements because once courses needed for accreditation were accounted for was little room for a student to fit in other courses. The Committee has begun to form alternate programs fbr these groups. Dean of Engineering George Lee, who had gone so far as to request that the entire Faculty of Engineering be exempted from the program, is waiting to see what comes out of the Committee before he'Officially seeks an exemption. Lee is a new member of the General Education Committee. - Accreditation worries Lee said that Engineering students only have the “freedom of 24 hours” to take courses not tied to Engineering. It’s not so much that accreditation is jeopardized, as was earlier suggested, Lee maintained, as that unless Engineering students take Engineering courses beyond the “first level” requirements, they- will not be competitive in the job market. Also, Lee said, the UB School of Engineering faces competition from other engineering schools. He feared that, if students were forced to extend their stay beyond the traditional four years or to take summer courses, some would simply attend another school, for the past few years, however, applicants to the School of Engineering have far outnumbered acceptances. Lee said the School’s own Academic Programs Committee, made up of various faculty from the Engineering Departments, is attempting to fashion a program specifically suited to Engineering students. The Program affords departments the opportunity to suggest their own core programs to replace the standard program. Lee said the Academic Programs Committee, which has not yet begun work on alternatives, will eventually base its recommendations on discussions with “the people who hire engineers” and faculty from other disciplines. Assistant Dean of the School of Management Howard Foster noted that the grievances of the professional schools can not be taken lightly, since almost 50 percent of the students here are enrolled in those schools. “The support of the professional school deans is crticial in my judgement,” he said. ‘Quantum improvement’ The School of Management also has strict accreditation requirements, Foster noted, but they are not as rigid as those for Engineering. Management has asked for only a slight easing of General Education requiremtns. Like Lee, Foster is concerned that the quality of the program merit fts implementation, although he''said that even a distribution scheme would be a “quantum improvement” over the current system in which students often lack expsoure to a breadth of knowledge. One way to do this, he said, is to promote high quality instruction in order to prevent the program from deteriorating into “a bunch of \varmed over existing courses.” Teaching effectiveness, he said, must be built into the program. When the Committee makes its August progress report, it will also offer seven themes. Although the criteria for each theme are loosely defined, no courses have yet been found to fill them. One of the demands for a theme is. that its courses be offered at least once a year, so that students woufd have, no trouble completing General Education requirements. With that in mind, assuming an average class size of 40. more then 35 sections of a course would be needed per semester. Undergraduate Dean John Peradotto said that, considering this, “We may be required to accept existing courses . . . there are just not enough to go around.” could be construed to mean that approximately 22 percent the nine namely, two of would councilme n , of the Revision Commission recommended Monday the elimination of all five at-large positions on the Buffalo Common Council. The recommendation signals the first round of a political prizefight that may not end until November. This Charter Revision Commission was established by Mayor James D. Griffin last month “with an eye towards of reucing city the cost government as well as making city government more effective.” In creating the commission, Griffin said that it “will consider various charter provisions,” but he specifically wanted one charter revision made: “I believe that the number of councilmen-at-large can be reduced without sacrificing the responsiveness of the legislative branch of government.” Opponents of the plan have alleged that Griffin’s real intent is to weaken the power of the A subcommittee Mayor’s Charter Common Council and create a Council” “veto-proof as Anthony Councilman-at-large Masiello put it. Masiello, and many of the other councilmen, noted that Griffin has fought almost continuously with the Council since he took office a year and one-half ago. George Councilman-at-large Arthur insists that such a charter revision “would definately be racist.” Arthur said that the existence of the at-large seats on the Council allows > the black community to vote for public officials who will best serve their interests without “merely relying on district councilmen to represent the entire black representing the black community while estimates indicate that blacks actually comprise between 30 and 40 percent of the City’s population.

Consequently, there are people out there turning burgers into gold. growing This trend of sacrificing nutritious foods for those more readily accessible is highlighted by Ralph Nader’s “Junk Food Hall of Shame,” an exhibit in Washington’s Public Citizen Visitors Center. The “Hall of Shame” displays some of the most offensive food industry products and practices / that consumer advocates have been phrase program that will grow both children and adults what slide ads and .glossy packaging hide: how the /food industry is more concerned with healthy profits than healthy consumers,” said Director of the Center for Science in the Public Interest, Michael Jacobson. Startling facts In the course of entertaining the display onlooker, the graphically describes how the fruits of some food factories are shortchanging consumers’ health as well as weekly budgets. According to most nutritionists, “junk food” is defined as fast foods which are generally low in nutritional value- but which contain high levels of fat and sugar. These tasty tidbits are usually expensive when compared to prices for more nutritional foods. Illustrating a typical junk food diet, the “Junk Food Hall of Shame” reveals some startling facts about the foods that all too many Americans are reaching for these days. For example; -a twelve ounce can of Coke contains 9 teaspoons of sugar and works as an excellent rust remover; -a $1.15 box of Fruit Loops contains 50 percent sugar, the other 50 percent flour; average the consumer annually consumes over five pounds of preservatives, colorings and flavorings in the food he or she eats; -a baking potato can be purchased at a cost of about $.25 at a local supermarket. The equivalent of that potato in MacDonald’s french fries would cost about $2.13, and the same amount of potato purchased in Pringle’s potato chips would cost — $2.66! surprisingly enough, -and, even many of the supposedly all natural fruits and vegetables sold as produce at local supermarkets SOFT CONTACT LENSES BAUSCH • & LOMB $7 o A.

The simple solution to the problem is to stop eating junk foods,” he stressed, adding “What people eat is their own individual choice and everyone has the right to be stupid. Just go to the UB Ratskellar or any college cafeteria if you want to see some idiotic eating habits. Consumers have to realize that there are choices to be made, and people should use some intelligence in constructing their diets.” Most nutritionists suggest that a healthy diet revolves around fresh fruits, vegetables and salads along with occasional eggs and other dairy products. “Take a trip to Greenfield Street for dinner some evening. They don’t sell Twinkies there,” quipped Segal. And so “What’s wrong with a Big Mac?” According to Director of the Washington-based group Science in the Public Interest, Thomas Jacobson, not much. “Fast food burgers aren’tas junky as the french fries and apple pies that accompany them. Many chains are realizing a demand to supply more Vitamin A and fibers in the foods they serve and a re consequently adding salads and other more nutritious foods to their menus,” he said. According to Jacobson, the “Hall of Shame” also illustrates results of some of the more manipulative food advertisements aimed at children.

Outside the building, you peer down over a railing into an outdoor recreation area where small children are splashing around in a colorful pool and forging roads in a sandbox. The playgrounds of your past come vividly back and the child who is still inside you must resist from joining in. Not a playground or a nursery school, the Early Childhood Research Center located on the ground floor of Baldy is primarily a place where the development of children ranging in age from 3 months to four years is overseen in an effort to provide better understanding of a child’s early years. In existence for over 40 years, the Center has always been affiliated with the University’s faculty of Education. Originally designed as a University Nursery 1 School housed in Main Street Campus’s Hayes Hall, the Center’s move into its current' space on Amherst three years ago signalled the first time the facility hasbeen located in a space entirely its own.

I would predict that very shortly, day care will finally be seen as a support to the family and not as a challenge.” The Center charges tuition for its programs which are scheduled around the University’s academic calendar. The tuition, Cataldo claimed, is “slightly below the cost of a good-middle class nursery school” and used to offset the costs of running the Center which is budgeted by the Faculty and outside sources. The families whose children enroll in the Center are usually < from the same economic level or “middle class.” l<ong term studies of child development are made easier if the subjects are predominantly from one class. Though the parents are made up of students, faculty members and area residents, the Center attempts to achieve a balance in enrollment concerning sex, race, and ethnicity. For research purposes, community families are preferred, however, because of their implied . Growth in interest Director of the Center, Christine Cataldo (a member of the Department of Elementary and Remedial Education which administers the Center) asserted that “only in the past four years has the emphasis here been on research and training other than service.” She cites the shift towards research as paralleling the shift in interests of childhood education. “The whole division of education’s interest in research has grown o'ver the past three years. Early more intervention research has grown important as we realize that children’s lives can be turned around if problems and interests are caught-early,” she noted. With two large green-carpeted rooms divided between an Infant/Toddler program and a program for three and four year olds, the Center is staffed with graduate students all of whom specialize in early childhood education. Parents volunteer their services as well as interested students from other departments. “There is a need for volunteers, especially from other departments. All students who come here enrich our program by always bringing in their skills and varied interests such as music,” stressed Cataldo, “which enhance the children’s experience.” The wooden blocks and assorted toys occupying the children in the Center are not just present for fun and games. They are tools for the Center’s educational approach set in a supportive child-oriented atmosphere. TheCenfer “likes to look at the whole child. There is a Piaget approach where we feel the need for the child to learn to make choices, a need to develop curiosity, self-esteem and to gain- stability. Good for parents Graduate student and parent Carol Schimminger, has two children who participating in the Center, praises its work. “My primary concern in bringing my older daughter here two years ago was that she would have other children her own age to play with. It’s a very good program. .The teachers are a rare bjeed, and it’s a stimulating environment where the children can run from one thing to another...” She also stressed the importance the Center holds for parents as well, noting, “It brings parents together; We get a chance to sound off each other as well as share ideas and problems.” The Early Childhood Research Center welcomes visitors to observe the children’s activities either through a one-way observafion mirror or inside the rooms. Students and faculty members from various departments are encouraged to use the Center as a resource for coursework and research relating to children. Most of all, the Early Childhood Research Center encourages an interest in, and support for, the commitment and survival of young families. resulted in many environmentalists catting him “the greatest conservationist President in American history.” Defying those who call him indecisive, Carter an executive order signed designating 56 million acres of Alaska as 17 national monuments, basing his authority on the 1906 Antiquities Act. The Alaska Lands Act, now pending in Congress, would classify about one-third of Alaska into four wilderness systems, protecting this land from heavy development. If approved, the act will probably have implications for land use controversies throughout the nation. The main opponents of Carter’s initiative are commercial interests such as timber, oil, mining, and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. Generally they say that Alaska’s land is being “locked up” by the Federal government. They emphasize the “storehouse of minerals” that could help alleviate the nation’s energy problems, provide jobs, maintain a good standard of living, and even promote national security. Alaska Senators Ted Stevens and Mike Gravel, who argue that more time is needed to explore resources before the lands are designated as wilderness lands. Long-term protection Alaska, granted statehood in 1959, was then guaranteed 104 million acres for state land. The Lands Act would facilitate final selection of these lands. Also the over 62,000 native Alaskans, who generally support the Lands Act, were granted 44 million acres of land under the 1971 Native Claims Act. There have been charges of corruption among native “leaders” who are said to act as fronts for corporate and banking interests. Pro-development supporters admit the mistakes of the past in regard to abusive environmental practices such as clearcutting of forests. However, they state that wilderness and *protection development of oil, gas, timber, and minerals can be compatible. Environmentalists respond by pointing out that over two-thirds of Alaska will remain open to development. Overdevelopment, they say, can disrupt the native subsistence economy and the commercial fishing industry.

Likewise, the Associations for Medical and Dental Schools' threat to pull-out of New York so they won't have to release their clandestine is both offensive and harmful to N.Y. State questions students, while also damaging to the Associations themselves. There can be no doubt that students deserve to know how the tests were formed and the validity of the exams. These are exams that the student consumers have very little choice but to take if they wish to further their education, and their legitimate check should be the right to receive a graded copy of the test. The "Truth in Testing" law will now, for the first time, give students the opportunity to review their exam and detect possible grading mistakes. The law also requires testers to inform test-takers of how their scores will be altered before being reported to various schools. The previously unexplained "index numbers" that carry so much weight for schools, and so little meaning for students, will have to be unveiled. Lastly, the new law is bound to inrTprove the quality of the exams by opening them up to public scrutiny in the world of academia. With all this in mind, students should be greatly disturbed by the Associations' attempt to subvert the release of now "public information" by threatening not to offer their exams in Nfew York. But the Associations are harming their own cause as well. The quality of the exams, which has been questioned namely by the Federal Trade Commission is bound to be legitimized if not improved by allowing educators to scrutinize the exams. Thus, the debate surrounding the vajue of "coaching" and how much, if at all, it improves a student's grade could be resolved. The consistency of the exams, namely the year-to-year variations in scores, could be explained; perhaps, by analyzing the difference in questions from one year to another, or by publicly disclosing which questions most students got wrong in a given year, or by letting the buyer (students) know why the foci of the exams has been altered. Lastly, the claim that test costs will surge by as much as 50 percent because of a need to validate and equate exams from year to year, is absurd. A study of the internal costs of the Educational Testing Service (ETS) revealed that about five percent of the fee paid by students goes toward question development. Thus, if as opponents of the new law claim, the development costs will dramatically surge, they are ignoring the existence of test validation controls already used by testing agencies. The only difference would be that this internal information would now be made public. The New York Times pointed out that 'There are f reedom-of-information laws, truth-'in-lending laws, truth-in-packaging laws. Why not truth in testing as well?" The answer: There is no legitimate reason that truth in testing should not only exist, but exist in N.Y. State regardless of the Medical and Dental Associations' reluctance to unleash the far-too-long coveted information. Unless, of course, they have something to hide? — — Welcome to the end of the beginning. Today’s paper is the last summer issue of The Spectrum.

Chapman hasn’t been chastised this summer and 1 figure 1 ought to, as a critic, because Chapman is wrong about the film. I’m betting I know why he erred and that has to do with the separation of fantasy and reality. Because Just You And Me Kid offers no fantasy, gothic or dreamlike, Chapman is bored. It is not science fiction; it is not artsy; it has no saving irony; it is simple comedy, something he thinks is akin to a TV program like Eight Is Enough. Still, I’ve heard Chapman say that the Batman TV series was “High Camp” an4 J,ust You And Me Kid deserves at least that much from him. George Burns is a cliche funny man. Brooke Shields is a cliche model. Shields’ twist that she’s young and burgeoning; Burns’ twist is that he’s old and still semi-funny. Both are not only nostalgic but they epitomize symbols of American popular culture. For the most part, the movie is not deep. Yet it is not “inconsequentialE or “inoffensive.” Anyway, Chapman shouldn’t use the word “inoffensive.” That means the movie causes no harm, is peaceable or not objectionable. His idea of its being sanitized has nothing to do with being inoffensive. If Chapman needs “grit” and “grime” to make a movie work then he might as well throw away Mallick’s Days of Heaven or Allen’s Interiors. His use ” of “Jell-o” and “sugar” are trite, journalistic cliches which are overworked and boring; yet he uses them *no, he presents them as if they were brand new metaphors. Just You And Me Kid doesn’t jerk emotion from the viewer; the film builds up the — emotion and lets the audience share in it. Further, the film does not “posit” that it’s real, great, helluva, lotsa fun to be adopted by a couple of Beverly Hills, upper middle class parents. There is not unqualified, uncontested, incontestable law laid down at any part of the movie to hint that this is so. It is mentioned as an aside by Burns. Burl Ives smiles; that’s the end of it. As for Shields being degraded because she played a child of irony in Pretty Baby and a more this is one-sided character in Just You And Me Kid not so. Shields’ acting is refreshing in a different way from her Pretty Baby. She knows the moves of LA comedy; she realizes the drama of Storyville. She has shown that she is an actress, not yet completely versatile but better than Linda Blair or Tatum O’Neal. There’s some Ozzie and Harriet in the film, sure. But the film’s purpose is good fun. I don’t think that’s part of Chapman’s fantasy about films. He needs tinges of negative emotions or blissful satire or biting cynicism for a film to be real to him. But 1 believe a plain film that makes you feel good is of worth now and then. What I’m saying is that Chapman’s becoming predictable, like some programs on a TV set; and he! Js too yoiing for that. — Harold Qaniel S. Parker Managing Editor Good clean fun Goldberg �1 y * feedback RH ? dayfrldayfridayfridayfrido cheap thrills The sunny side To the Editor. by Dianne Manning and Ed Strumlauf It has long been a weekly Buffalo tradition for each neighborhood to fill plastic bags and large cans full of sacrificial offerings to present to their leader, the mayor. Then on their assigned day, the residents set these offerings by the curb in preparation for its collection by Mayor Griffin’s relatives. Through the years this ceremony has had many names such as Trash Day and Rubbish Day, but henceforth we will refer to it by its generic name, Garbage Day. A walk through the streets of Buffalo on a cool, summer evening can afford you a closer look at this ancient tradition. In keeping with the spirit of Garbage Day, it has always been acceptable for the needy to help themselves to whatever they want from their neighbor’s sacrificial pile. In fact, in recent years, due to cutbacks in city sanitation workers, personal garbage collecting has been encouraged. Garbage picking is a respectable art that takes time to master. For those of you novice collectors who are embarrassed even by the thought of being caught in the act, George and Co. downtown has a wide selection of masks that can help keep your identity a secret. If, however, 1 you can’t afford the luxury of a mask, just get down on all fours and lift your leg. This deception works better if you can bark. As seasoned garbage pickers, it is only fair that we share a few tips with our readers. First,, when picking up electrical appliances don’t neglect to ask the former owners for a warrantee. If you fprget, you’ll really be stuck when it doesn’t work In a month or two. Second, bring tupperware containers along to keep any perishables you may find fresh. Third, don’t garbage pick in the student ghetto. By the time a student throws something out, it’s really garbage and not worth recycling. Fourth, learn to discriminate between garbage and personal property. It usually only -takes one night in jail to learn that even though cars are also near the curb they are not up fpr grabs. Fifth, don’t go garbage picking before 10 p.m. That’s when we go and we don’t like the competition. Last but not least, in the words ofthe immortal B. Kliban, “Never eat anything bigger than your head!” The best place to start your garbage picking career is in your own neighborhood. It’s a good way to find out what your neighbors are up to, what kind of magazines they read, and how often they eat steak for dinner. Don’t be lazy taking a little time to paste together a discarded letter could lead to big money. Speaking of blackmail, if you’re not doing anything on Monday night, try your hand at garbage There is more than one way to picking Ketter out what is really up tp. find Garbage picking can be habit-forming and that can lead to serious storage problems around the house. Once you have collected 2 million cubic yards of garbage that you don’t know what to do with, follow these simple steps. Divide it into four mounds, sprinkle it with topsoil and grass seed, and open up your own nature preserve. That’s what a group of Buffalo citizens did at Tifft Farm- On what used to be an old railroad and shipping site, Tifft Farm is now a 264 acre wildlife sanctuary. Located in South Buffalo, it,’s easy to forget that it’s bordered by heavy industry on all sides while you walk along its six miles of trails through forests and marshes. Tifft Farm offers an array of varied habitats to explore. The lake is stocked with a large variety of fish. The marsh has a boardwalk that stretches above 75 acres of cattails and shouldn’t be missed. The mound area’s 40 acres feature many of the 133 species of plant and animal life to be found throughout the area. Many native Buffalo birds can be spotted on the telephone lines that run through areas of the preserve, which just goes to prove that you can’t teach an old bird new tricks. A creative staff leads educational activities year-round. Upcoming events include a presentation called “Sharks The Facts and Fantasies Explored” tonight at 7:30 p.m. The program will be held in the preserve and costs one dollar. An outdoor art show and sale will also be held on Sunday, August S from 10 ajn. to 4 p.m. Tifft Farm (826-0544) is located on Fuhrman Blvd. in South Buffalo. Take the skyway to the first Fuhrman Blvd. exit, make a left at the first light and the entrance will be found on the right. As an incoming freshman, I just completed Orientation ’79 and found it the best introduction to the school anyone could ever get! I knew I had to express my thanks to all who were involved. (What better place to do it than in the best newspaper on campui?!) - When you, as a new student, walk into Fargo Cafeteria all you see is wall-to-wall people. But in five minutes those walls of people are talking to you and making you feel very welcome. (If you are lucky enough to be a twin, you get even more attention.) It is not like high school where the upper classmen think they are better then the underclassmen. The rest of the orientation is jammed packed with slides, talks, and various presentations of the different things UB has to offer. When the sun goes down, the action does not stop. The pub came alive with brave dancers of all kinds. Even some of the aides joined in the fun. Each night also had a sing-along for both talented and untalented people. It was a really great way to pass the night hours. Some of the new students spent their orientation as three free days to party. That’s O.K. to do, but you really miss a lot of the activities. These students didn’t like Orientation, and will not discover what UB is all about. So, to all new students who have not yet taken Orientation, prepare yourselves for a really great time, and to all the people that got as much out of it as I did, see you in the Fall!!!

That’s what I’m here to discuss. With a capital T that rhymes with C that stands for Creative Compromise (not Carter). If a starting member on the roster gives his all everyday (makes all the practices, is in by bcdcheck), you don’t trade him in because he stands up for what he believes. The sport of United States executive level politics is a special one: the manager gets to pick the cream of the country’s crop to play for him. And he doesn’t even have to wave bonuses in their faces or worry about them going the free-agent route. One would think that the chief exec would like independent competence surrounding him, people who would state their minds, give him options, talk back to anyone and everyone. Since the president (alone among modem-day managers) has a secure four-year contract, which in fact states that the last word is always his, relations with his top players should be nothing less than hard work, calculation and creative compromise. He’s got himself a nice deal: final say, and the chance to mold his all-star American political team into a working machine. But when personal life and personnel strife collide, some of the contraband has to be thrown overboard, I guess. This president chose to rid the team of the personnel who were causing friction with his inner sanctum; in essence, he is forsaking the harder task of making progress by airing the conflicting views of a less-than mutinous crew in favor of surrounding himself with hometown boys from the sandpaper factory. I guess this president is just trying to get his ship back on course. But with the elimination of those who would stand fast, one has to wonder where the boat is going to drift to. — I’m sure thkt many American men read the sports pages more intently than the front (or news) pages.

There is an occasional quip or sip of coffee or drag on a cigarette. One of the women controllers tapped her shoe on a foot rest and hissed an indignant, "Just lovely" at a comment made by a dull-witted pilot. Stressful profession Stress and high pressure are elements often Is it safe to fly? After an air disaster like the recent DC-10 crash in Chicago, this question is in the back of every jet-age traveler's mind. The statistics showing that jet flight is safer than automobile travel do not allay this ubiquitous fear. The individuals responsible for flying passengers from city to city are polished professionals. They are the manipulators of a highly sophisticated technology, one that requires a great amount of skill and coo! judgement to operate safely. What follows is a glimpse at the job of the air Five casually dressed air traffic controllers, two women and three men, peered out through the south window of the observation tower at a single engine private plane headed for a landing on runway five. Visibility was optimal as one of the controllers began to cite landmarks such as the austere slab of concrete that is the Veteran's Hospital and, a few degrees to the north, the jagged outline of the Ellicott TIGHT TEAM: Studies have shown that the job of a flight controller is one of the most stressful but that is tough to discern when watching the controllers.

Complex. Entrance is gained to the five story tower by way of a long, narrow flight of stairs rising out of the Coming down after hours Ed Stabler sat in a booth in the 523 Lounge. Garbed in a white T-shirt and sunglasses, Ed looked quite at home amidst the other rowdies who crowded around the bar, a redneck dive where many of the flight controllers go for a drink. He bought a round of drinks before choosing a booth away from the commotion. "I have to report back to work at 12 midnight so that means I can't have anthing to drink after 4 p.m. The FAA is really strict about that rule," he said, sipping a double shot of whiskey on the rocks. Our conversation competes with outbursts of laughter from the bar. "A lot of guys from the tower show up for a drink here after work. Most of 'em need someplace to relieve the tension of the job before going home to their wives." He gazed towards the bar. "I guess you gotta be sort of an extrovert to be an air traffic controller. If you try to keep the pressure inside you, the job is just gonna get to you after awhile." _* Caught in middle In view of this content pressure, Stabler claimed to be "overworked and underpaid." Considering the responsibility and technical knowledge required to bring the "big planes" in safely, he believes his $30,000 a year pay check deserves more altitude. He also maintains that air traffic controllers are in the tenuous position of being caught in the middle of the priorities of both the air carriers and the general aviation bureau. "The carriers consider air traffic a big .. business deal and want us to move the planes in and out as fast as possible while the FAA demands that we consider safety at all times and not try to cut any corners." In light of the recent rash of air disasters, Stabler felt resentment towards the press coverage. "News only occurs when something goes wrong, and then we're the first ones to go before the firing squad." He noted that the 250 million planes brought down safely are rarely mentioned. with a private plane, killing all aboard both planes and a number of others on the ground. "The National Air Traffic Safety Bureau filed a report on that crash and listed the air traffic control tower in San Diego as partially responsible. But according to the plane's flight recorder recovered from the crash, the pilot of the commercial airliner claimed that he had the prop plane in sight. That fact alone took the responsibility of directing the planes in flight away from the tower." Professional rivalry To Ed Stabler, his job involves a delicate combination of technical knowhow and public relations. "My whole job revolves around a cogent communication with the pilot. I have to instill enough confidence in him that he'll listen to my directions," he insisted. "And there's always sort of a professional rivalry involved. I mean, a pilot doesn't like to be told.what to do in his airplane. He has the final command of his aricraft no matter what I say," Stabler explained. "It's their ass on the line up there. If they dump their plane, they die. I might fall off my chair at worst." The clock above the bar read 3:45. Ed ordered another double shot of whiskey and bought me another drink. "A crash like the one in Chicago can happen at any time, and they all can't be attributed to human error." Stabler alluded to the 1978 air disaster over San Diego in which a commercial airliner collided Best there is Stabler has worked for the FAA in Buffalo for over nine years now, coming here after four years of active duty in the Air Force. "My job as an aviator in the Air Force was to jumble enemy communication and consequently run their planes together. Today, my responsibilities are just the opposite and I've found that it's a hell of a lot tougher to keep planes apart." Stabler conceded that some traffic controllers are better than others. "But that's the story with any occupation. I go to the tower every day on the pretense that Tm the best there is." Ed finished his last drink and got up to leave. By this time the bar was virtually empty, with most of the patrons having gome home to hot dinners and the waiting arms of their wives. The bartender insouciantly wiped down the sticky bartop. It would be slow going for awhile. The next crew of controllers wouldn'tbe due in for at least another couple of hours. -Jon-Michael Glionna �'s East Terminal.

Various occupational studies have found that the vocation of air traffic controller is the least boring, yet the most stressing profession. Despite these findings. Deputy Chief of Flqjht Control Ray Butkiewicz vehemently denied any suggestion that a flight controller's working years are numbered by the -Federal Aviation Authority (FAA). "That's a fallacy," he said indignantly. "I have friends that have been working as flight controllers in some of the busiest airports for over twenty years. We've been working as a team here for over three years already and I anticipate that we'll be together for quite a few more.'1 Another controller, however, had a different impression. Ed Stabler admitted to knowing other flight controllers who cracked under the relentless pressure. He said some have even succumbed to immoderate drinking. "Like any other job, you can't take the pressures home with you. Most of us need a place to unwind after work." There'are approximately 200 departures and arrivals at Buffalo Airport every day. Most of the traffic, however, is squeezed into the peak hours of nine a.m. and two and seven p.m. "You gotta be thinking all the time," Stabler emphasized. "But concentration is difficult when traffic is slow. Things run more, smoothly when we have a steady flow of traffic," he said. Green screens Back and forth, the flight controllers relay plastic strips along the thirty foot communications console. Each strip represents an individual aircraft. Those planes which have landed or have passed outside the fifteen mile jurisdiction of the Buffalo Control Tower are logged for a period of two weeks. In the event of an accident, they are pulled as exhibits for FAA investigations. The controllers proudly noted that the Buffalo Airport has never had a commercial flight disaster. Overhead, a radar television monitor hangs from the ceiling. Its cables lead to a dimly lit room several stories below the radar room. At least one million dollars of sophisticated electronic equipment lines the walls of this cathode illuminated chamber. All traffic within a 30 mile radius of the Buffalo Airport is "retrievable" from the traffic computers and can be displayed at will on the circular green radar screens. The combination of radar instructions and visual flight orders from the control tower make safe landings and takeoffs possible at today's overcrowded airports; "When there's a crash you really can't fix the blame upstairs or downstairs," Stabler said. Like many accountants, flight controllers work a forty hour week. But, unlike an accountant, he cannot erase his mistakes with the flick of an eraser. GREEN GLOW: Although the radar Krmn shown in the photo may resemble a child's doodling, each blip and flash has meaning for the flight controllers.

When you wonder if you really want to go this way, you’ll be headed in the right direciton. Consider this to be a half-mile long piece of environmental sculpture, and you have begun your oreintation to Griffis Sculpture park. Griffis Park and its newer edition, Mill Valley, both about 10 miles south of Springville, begins its challenge with the journey of getting there. Griffis is a 400-acre pasture with sculptures up to 28 feet high standing among tall grasses. About 150 sculptures inhabit this carrollian city, posing like scarecrows for a Brobdingnagian race. These giants were created by renowned Buffalo sculptor, Larry Griffis, maker of the once-controversial “Spirit of Womanhood” sculpture that stands with Outstretched arms on the north shore of Delaware Park Lake. Wrought in steel, the sculptures range from solemn to whimsical. Their size, Griffis stated in an interview, Poised in Griffis Park is critically important. “The sculptures must be monumental in order to relate properly with the trees, a hillside or an expanse of sky.” Stemming from a dream he had since visiting the ruins of ancient Rome, the park has been open since 1968 and, through its annex, keeps growing. And still admission is free. Citadels of art There is the sense of being in a netherworld of ruins while walking in the park. For the most part, there are no people milling around (as in a conventional museum) to remind you that, after all, this is only art. There are no plaques suggesting to you what you are seeing. Your eyes are the sole curators here. The forms are found not only in patent display areas like the man-made pond in the new park, but in small clearings and on trails that snake throughout the lot. It is as though artifacts from another time beached here: their eerieness is not easily shaken. My guide to the park lost the ant-eater the day we went there. It’s a big thing, several hundred pounds heavy and several yards wide. Though he has been there several times, the metal residents of this town still manage to elude him sometimes. It’s usually somewhere between the mammoth cobra and the giant crab hiding in the woods or so we think. Personally, I suppose if a sculpture can beach at a place like Griffis, — i*u ■taring out into woods 'Sculptures range from solemn Cavorting in and around Mill Valley pond The infusion of diverse influences on the park has enhanced it. Its popularity is all the more resounding when you’re gasping while struggling up one of the new park’s trails and you realize that the Mill Valley park is by far the more aydous of the two to tour. Located less than a mile away from the old park, Mill Valley is a town with a maze painted in bright primary colors, sentried by an extraterrestial-looking guard built of auto parts. Among the other citizenry are the almost overblown human figures. Human form here is not detailed to merely reproduce but to revere the hollows and mounds of the body. By Griffis’ "The Bathers,” the name most people assign to the ring of female forms about a man-made pond (though there are no hard and fast rules about identifying these works), we decided to start on the hour's trip back to Buffalo. We had forgotten the optional, but recommended, pith helmet and machete; we were weary of being escorted by "skeeters” and other flying insects, and we were happy that we came but to say we were elated would be hyperbole. The dark rim around the pond disappeared into the water as I stepped closer to its edge, and I realized that the dark ring was made of nothing but tadpoles; the dynamic uniqueness of Griffis and Mill Valley Parks sunk in. Because, even if you have a museum large enough to contain figures who by their sheer size demand not to be contained, even if you could do that, I doubt you would have tadpoles highlighting them. There’s something elating about that kind of uniqueness. —Ralph Allen �! ' ft Epilogue At the heart of every good film critic is a movie buff, someone gripped with an unreasoning love of celluloid. Without this Idve, a critic is a cranky old sod ragging hotly on most films and bequeathing only icy praise to the elect few. In my brief buy noisy career here at The Spectrum, I have been tarred by the accusation that I am one of these heartless critics, that I don’t really like movies'and enjoy lacerating them. I must protest. Nothing could be more removed from the truth. First, a full quarter of rtiy reviews have been favorable which is the precentage of most respectable critics. Secondly, I enjoy almost every film I see. Even while watching something pathetic like The Wiz or Who’ll Stop The Rain, there is in me a child’s glee. But criticism is not an act of love. A movie lover watches films; a critic writes about them. Criticism is not a hedonistic autobiography. It should not be a report of the critic’s pleasures or displeasures. Who cares whether I enjoy something or not? To say that a film is good because it was enjoyetj is to'engage in what I call "cow criticism.’’ Just as a cow is concerned only with chewing its cud and finding a nice shady place to — O) > Catcfjing l€avjs Criticism is not a hedonistic autobiography. It should not be a report of the critic's pleasures or displeasures. Who cares whether I enjoy something or notY To say that a film is good because it was enjoyed is to engage in what I call 'cow criticism'. relax, so the bovine critic is concerned only with his own pleasure. Such a critic is usually a whore embracing every film that comes along with moist, sticky arms. Of course I enjoy nearly every film: one enjoys anything which gratifies the senses, relieves or titilates the sexual urge, or distracts one away from ennui. My status as a buff only indicates a healthy psychological response accentuated by habit. But human beings should not be cows concerned only with present sensation. To be human is to be distanced from the immediate. To be human is not merely to experience (a cow does that) but to step back and interpret experience, to have knowledge of it, to appraise it in usefuf terms. The critic, then, must be able to separate himself from pleasure or displeasure, to bracket it in an attempt to get at the film itself: the film as a structure of formal properties, as a text of cultural signification, and, most importantly, as the product of an individual working with his knowledge (or ignorance) of a medium in the pursuit of a personal visibn. Pleasure like pain is an involuntary disposition of no interest to the reader except, perhaps as an indication of possible bias a bias which a critic ought freely to admit. And while enjoyment and excellence can approach congruency, a critic must always put his own pleasure aside. Criticism is not a gentle art. It is the appraisal of people’s best efforts, of the job that they do. Kindness takes a secondary but regulatory place: it should not be the motivation for criticism but it should temper the critic's tone lest he seem too predatory. All this 1 have tried to do in my brief year my first year as a critic. And though I will not claim complete success, I am satisfied with the degree I have achieved. As to my detractors, I admit that I am a heartless critic insofar as I have tried to remove my heart from the business at hand. But let no one say that I do not love movies. I do, for wKy else would I bother writing about them week after week without substantial reward or appreciation? —Ross Chapman by David Graham Flying Fish is a small but wet) established independent label headquartered in Chicago and specializing in couijtry/folk music. This week we have a host of their albums-alf of astonishingly high quality. Martin, Bogan apd Armstrong is probably the only active alt black string band in the world. As such, theirs is the last vestige of a type of music which will prpbably depart with them. This is not a music of purely historical interest, however; it’s also great fun. Their late'st record, That Old Gang of Mine, is a unique blend of blues, jazz, bluegrassand Tin Pan Alley that not only shows these septuagenarian? to' be alive and pickin’ but to be swinging like mad as well. Several bjues forms are rendered from the call-and-response of “Yes Pappy Yes” to the incredibly filthy "Ice Cream Freezer Blues:” "My gal gotta ice cream freezer/And sheTets me put my milk in her can.” Other triumphs include the three part harmonies on "Sheik of Araby,” Howard Armstrong’s poignant reading of “Streets of Old Chicago,’ 1 and Carl Martin’s jocular voice-over recitation on the title track. Prodigal son Eclectisism of a different sort characterizes the music of David Grisman. On his first album for Flying Fish, entitled simply The David Grisman Quintet, Grisman mixes a musical solution of swing jazz and gypsy rhapsody with traces of romantic classical music and the blues. This is, of course, an amalgam generally, associated with great European swing players like Django Reinhardt and Stephan Grappelli. In a way, it’s like prodigal son music from America to the Continent and back again. However, Grisman’s music is at it’s best when it defies classification. Artie Traum’s “Fish Scale,” for instance, is expanded into arvalternately limping and charging blind man’s elephant which finally transcends idiom. Grisman calls it "Dawg Music.” The band (2 mandolins, guitar, bass, violin) is superb, but guitarist Tony Rice deserves special mention. Rice combines a technical facility for playing clear, lightening fast lines with an innovative and unified melodic appeal. A standout on an outstanding record. - 20 Years/Concert Performances is a fascinating documentary of one of the seminal folk revivalist groups. The New Lost City Ramblers. An extremely generous sampling of music (34 cuts on two records) allows us to follow them through 20 years of live performances. In their early years, chronicled on side one, NLCR recreated early country recordings by such greats as the Carter Family (no, not that Carter family) and the Delmore Bros. With the addition of Tracy Schwarz in 1963, their repertoire broadened to include English ballads and traditional American songs like "Arkansas Traveler” and “Turkey in the Straw” (on unaccompanied jew’s harp!). From these sources come many of their greatest moments Schwarz’s chilling solo vocal on “The Unquiet Grave” for one. Part of the reason for the high quality of these records is that small labels like Flying Fish can’t afford to dick around with no-talents. Many times, the big labels have quite the opposite philosophy. Recently, a person peripherally associated with the music biz told me a story about a big exec at The Record Plant in NYC who, a few years ago, received a demo tape from an unknown group. He gave it a listen and he hated it. But he hated it so much that he figured someone else should give it a listen. Welt/ the group was signed and today we know them as Kiss. Now this story, apocryphal or not, serves to illustrate a point the big companies back a lot of junk, forcing talented people to be squeezed out. — - Bringing one back Phil Rosenthal is one of the type* that would be talented, intelligent and buried under the garbage unassuming. Rosenthal’s Indian Summer, his first solo album (he’s also in the group Seldom Scene), is an equal mix of bluegrass-styied instrumentals and original songs. The instrumentals sparkle but it’s the vocal numbers that keep bringing me back. Rosenthal sings in a rich tenor that can be alternately achingly tender and dramatically urgent. He’s at his best on "Muddy Water,” a song about a flooded house which becomes a neat metaphor for the transience of all in the face of time. The song, like thp albjum, is a quiet beauty. So, if you have an interest in any of these records or in this type of music in general, keep an eye out in the stores or write: Flying Fish Records, 1304 W.

Film's main ingredient is Bill Murray 'in top form' by Ross Chapman Bill Murray has surfaced as one of the most interesting and noteworthy comic talents of the decade. After his tenure at NBC’s Saturday Night Live, he has shaped a comic persona .more formidable thanNthat of Steve outdistances Murray Marlin. Martin handily in his satirical assumption of the slick, slimy show-biz a personality personality enthroned in Las Vegas and embodied by such stomach-turners as Sammy Davis It is an act Murray has honed almost to the point of subtlety Martin is something astronomically far from. With a boyish face still bearing the scars of past pimply upheavals and framed by receding hair, Murray — personifies the caved-in innocence of the celebrity. The run-of-the-mill celebrity is a hustler loud in bravado but pipsqueakish in talent: a cursory glance into a nightclub or at a TV talk show will confirm this well enough. And Murray seems to take his cue from both sources, punning the nightclub performer and the personality (ultimately a contradiction in terms) with brilliance. So when I went to see Meatballs, a new film starring Bill Murray, I was partly predisposed to like it. This predeliction was further enhanced by Murray’s performance. His role as a summer camp instructor puts him in top form. A two-hour film allows him to sustain the talent spasmodically revealed on television and to build up a potent delivery; -his performance in Meatballs may be the best thing he has yet done. Insofar as this goes, the film provides a forum for true talent and I praise it for that. Creaky and cornball But otherwise, it is at odds with Murray and reminded me of ABC's Mark and Mindy, the film and the program match brilliance with blunder, originality with dime-store cornball. In each, the performances of Murray and of Robin Williams are discovered like Renoirs among black velvet paintings of puppies. Meatballs, Murray aside, can be best described as an Animal House with heart: the same sophomoric hi-jinks are seen but here are tempered no, better yet, diluted by nostalgia and soggy sentiment. Gathered around Murray is a gaggle of characters so old they creak: a fat kid; a nerd with taped glasses named Spaz; a teen-age satyr with an large as certain planetary bodies; a blustery, goony camp manager; and assorted pairs of, Adonises and Venuses diddling their beautiful selves off in the bushes. The plot devices are equally creaky: burlesque sports matches, tender love affairs, rich kid-poor pid polarities, and a shy little boy which Murray rescues from and chronic depression ~ - — muzak The mood of the film, like the music, is schizophrenic as if the writers were in he process of deciding what to write. (Or perhaps each of the five writers wrote different parts of the film.) The cinematography is itchy, grainy and abrasive; and the direction is not worth noting since it’s barely noticeable.

SUNDAE �* Levy's 'Barbarism' sets off fireworks all over " •»’. - > . . < The orthodoxy of the Left has long fettered the thought 6f a host of nations as well as of significant segments of the American intellectual community; but none so-tightly as in* France. Although its I populace is doggedly bourgeois (France is one of the tfew places in which “bourgeois” really means R something), its academic world has been solidly <J> Marxist since World War ll! Indeed, it has impossible to gain recognition as a bona fide intellectual unless one was also a professed Marxist of one kind or another. So when a movement against Marxism takes root in the cafe conversations of Paris, it has grave implications for the future, even for the survival, of academic Marxism in the West. >. Perhaps foremost among this loosely gathered group of thinkers (known as the nouveaux philosophes) is Bernard Henri-Levy, former advisor to the government of Bangladesh and to Francois Mitterand (leader of the French Socialist Party), journalist, and philosopher. If not the foremost, then Levy is certainly the loudest of the movement. His book, Barbarism With A Human Face, has set off Greatly affected by Solzhenitsyn's.

'Life,' Levy laments, is a lost cause, and happiness an outmoded idea'. considerable fireworks in France and in its English translation is attracting considerable attention on our side of the Atlantic. In one short volume, Levy attempts to bare the brutish face of communism, to air its barbarities, lies, and idiocies just as Hitler, fascism, and Marx uncovered the beastliness of capitalism (or so claims Levy). The truth he wishes to hurl through the lies of the Left and Right is that power in all its brutality is inevitable, inescapable. There can be no refuge in the dream of revolution from the crisp realities of political power. Ideologies of hope and progress, specifically Marxism, are delusions. If one were to chide this view calling it pessimistic, Levy would be undaunted, for he has out and out said that "I have attempted nothing in this book but to think through to the end of the idea of pessimism in history.” The optimism of Marxism is a trick, a ruse by which the socialist tyrants can exercise power, ruthlessly while hiding behind the banner of progress. Greatly affected by Solzhenitsyn’s The Gulag Archipelago which so painfully underlines the cruel farce of Marxism, Levy abandons hope and embraces despair. “Life,” Levy laments, “is a lost cause and happiness an outmoded idea.” A major student leader in the May 1968 rebellion, Levy was greatly influenced by its collapse. The idea behind that insurgence and behind much of the French New Left is that power is a sick fantasy, a collusion of the oppressed with their desire to be oppressed. Liberation is then a shrill laugh in the face of this hobgoblin. But, Levy says, power is not illusory nor is it a psychosis or disease of an otherwise healthy body, a disorder which din be cathartically purged in the paroxysms of revolution. Power is not, as this would presume, a definite thing which can be attacked like a tyrant, a junta, a parliament, or a class. “Power is nothing, which is to say, power is no thing, no one thing. It is, instead, the source of all things, the universal genus, the legislator of so-called “natural laws,” the arbiter of language, the font of desire. Power, says Levy, “is another name for the world.” It is the “metaphor for reality.*’ Thus, Levy engages in reductionism, a reduction of all to power. To express his position in ontological terms, power is the Being of reality. To suppdft this assertion, Levy charts the deceitful convolutions of Marxism and points effectively to the numbing horrors of the Gulag. Levy is right to do so and we could further point to China’s bloody Cultural Revolution, Pol Pot, the ocean of refugees bobbing on the South China Sea, and the insidious maneuverings of the Soviet Union in Africa and Afghanistan. But does the barbarism of Marxist states justify the conclusion that abusive power is absolute and that there is no hope? Clearly, simple logic would indicate otherwise. Why then does Levy so conclude? As William Barrett once pointed out in his book Irrational Man, France is the most incestuous culture in the West. Just as the French housewife uses every part of the animal in the kitchen, so the French intellectual hoards and remixes the ideas of other past intellectuals. Although this can be fruitful, it can also lead to a sort of neo-scholasticism of incessant reinterpretation rather than original thought (a result, I believe, of the robot-like French school system). On reading Levy’s book, one enters a realm of raging conflicts that often seem needless and digressive. Germany, Britain, and the United States, soaked as they are in positivism, pragmatism, and scientific thought, show less reluctance to trash ideas or to scoff at them. Though this sometimes means waste and thick-headed conservatism, it also has the salubrious effect of clearing the way to new ideas. In France, battles rage, but only inside the framework of Marxism. But in Germany and dther countries, there is a stepping outside of Marxism, a bracketing -of Marxism. Hence, the battles here are more fundamental: Marxism and its roots are themselves called into question. This approach, I believe, can bring an end to absolute ideologies, to political orthodoxies, to religions of power while still retaining hope; and Levy is to be applauded for it. But he never completes the course. So insulated in the wraps of Marxist ideology is he that while he points out its unsavoriness, he never recognizes the possibility of truly setting it aside. He assumes a jaded tone. He mopes in a ruined house unaware of the open door. He is too much like the child who, bawling beside his broken hobby-horse, despairs of all horses. Does the Gulag force Levy’s admonishment that "it remains for rats/Iike us to find a corner in the ruins and wait for peace’’? Do the obscenities of Stalin or Pol Pot necessitate the assertion that "happiness (is) an outmoded idea’’? All that Levy has said encourages us to remove the ideological goggles that fog our vision of true human suffering. But Levy is a doctor who doesn't take his own advice. He sits with his goggles on, feeling cheated and delyded by Marxism (as he should) but goes no farther. He does not do what someone outside France would be more likely to do: remove, discard, and destroy the blinding spectacles of Marxism. For this, Levy’s sheaf of ideas, though interesting and significant, cannot be embraced. —Ross Chapman BullFeather’s Pine Lodge Fine Food & Drink under new management .coupon ■ I — - ON THE PURCHASE OF WW A DOUBLE ORDER OF Qpp CHICKEN WINGS.

Politicians accustomed to speaking freely have been limited to brief explanations of what they intend to do to satisfy UCO demands, cut off abruptly when thei; allotted time has run out, and publicly scolded by Spokespersons for arriving late to meetings. UCO members prefer to see their style as “serious” and “businesslike.” A person in a position of power, asserted Father Radon, must accomplish “what they are about” in a limited amount pf time; and the UCO doesn’t have time for some politician “to tell us how great he is.” Though surely not non-political, the UCO is vociferously anti-politician. Elected officials and other public employees are prohibited from joining the UCO. They jealously guard the power base they have built and are committed against sharing it with any career politician whose interests may not be compatible with theirs. One loeal politician agrees: “They would get co-opted” if they made alliances One way or another, the UCO is in for the long haul. Its members are settled, serious people who plan on staying here in Buffalo. They are engaged in the work of the UCO with the tenacity of people who believe that everything they have is on the line. For \}ow, they are taking on modest, well-defined, “winnable issues, such as their newly launched City-wide campaign against illegal insurance practices. This is part of the long-term process of building confidence, ability, and organizational strength which the UCO will need to confront more powerful foes. As one UCO rank-and-filer said, “I need to be trained to stand up to the President of Western Savings Bank.” Will the ‘‘big game” for the UCO indeed be an attack against area banks which have been accused of exporting depositors’ money for and nation? If not, what? And investment in other areas of the how does the UCO determine its future direction? The Rev. Thomas Umholtz, pastor of a UCO member church, said that the UCO “gets its agenda from the expressed needs of the people.” But does the UCO have any fundamental ideological base besides “clear self-interest?” That they might challenge the power of private financial institutions to invest money as they choose would suggest some pseudo-socialist or at least populist orientation. Nevertheless, they say that they approach their task with no predetermined notions or ideologies. The exercise of their carefully nutured power will be in the words of Rev. Brown,-only by their “self-conscious Christian values.” tenant. Bonnie at pets, security deposit, references, lease. INSURANCE GUIDANCE CENTER promises. Christian values nice Call 877-1114. required. IMMEDIATE COVERAGE ALL DRIVERS ACCEPTED — The UCO’s own meetings, characteristically, are carefully planned and stick to the prepared agenda.. They proceed with precision', promptness and a sober, no-nonsense attitude. Apparently the hard-working middle-class people of the UCO who are seeing their communities crumble around them don’t have time to waste. But a UCO meeting can also exude an aura of what could be called excess unanimity that might be disconcerting to those used to the effervescent push and shove of conventional politics.

Parker Editor-m-Chief Any day now, the University is planning to temporarily store low-level radioactive material in the Abbot Library annex on the Main Street Campus. There it will stay until the radioactivity levels are such that the material can be disposed of as ordinary waste. Currently, Abbott Annex 'is being used as storage space for extra dormitory mattresses, but plans call for workers to clear the way for the low-level material “possibly by next week.” Radiation Protection Manager Mark Pierro explained that the high-level waste will continue to be stored on the second floor of the Howe building located on the edge of the Main Street Campus. In the past, the University was responsible for paying outside contractors to ship the material to one of three burial grounds for radioactive waste in the U.S. at - Hanford, Washington; Beatty, Nevada; and Barnwell, South Carolina. Cocktail anyone? Last year., the University shipped radioactive material five times for burial, each of the shipments included ISO fifty-gallon drums. These drums contained radioactive solid material such as paper, lab coats, and crushed waste; animal carcasses; and liquid scintillation vials. The scintillation vials are the type of low-level material that the University hopes to segregate and stor&aitf Abbott until it can be disposed of without danger. Last May, the South Carolina burial ground refused to accept scintillation vials or “nuclear cocktails,” as they are called from schools throughout the country, thus boosting shipping costs to the other two sites. At UB, Biochemistry Chairman Alexander Brownie told The Spectrum that the University has been trying to have researchers use their own grant money to pay for the disposal of their radioactive waste. Brownie, who pointed to the time-consuming process of obtaining grants and then altering them, explained that researchers operate on a fixed budget and the-University should cover the disposal cgsts. He noted - — (WASTE BARRELS: Th# barrel* pictured here ere presently sitting in the Mein Street Campus's Howe building and waiting for their eventual shipment to the site of Onrof the U.S.'s throe burial grounds lor Hanford, Washington radioactive waste.

ILfhe material was kept for 10 half lives, namely 143 days, then it could be disposed of like ordinary waste.

Bruce felt that and buried, it will no longer be although .there was a cost savings radioactive?” involved' same savings the Bruce remarked, “It’s an environmental insult to bury University -mopes to incur by waste that doesn’t need to be storingthe material in Abbott he would prefer keeping all of the buried.” low-level waste in one area. Pierro explained that the No hazard material will be stored on campus Currently, the material stored until it loses much of its in Howe will continue to stockpile radioactivity over a period of before it is picked up for — Jthe — ‘ One way the University is limiting potential dangers is by both high and low-level material,, only having one truck pick-up the they will not be separated for \kaste from the various labs on on campus. The University’s last pick-up was May 10 and there are about 175 barrels in the locked Howe second floor where there is enough room for up to 3.00 barrels. Abbott Annex was recommended as a suitable building by Vice President for Facilities Planning John Neal, Pierro explained that the room met the necessary safety criteria: storage - lockable, concrete walls, relatively out of the way, and close to a loading dock. He said, “It’s our job to make sure the material is stored safely and won’t pose a hazard to anyone.” and local hospitals. In addition, all pick-ups will be conducted by people under Bruce’s jurisdiction with proper campus training. local Civil Association (CSEA) union filed a grievance charging the University with inadequate procedures for the’ handling of chemical and radioactive waste. One specific point was that “any old available truck” has been used in the past, But the CSEA maintenance workers don’t have to worry according to Bmce. “Maintenance won’t touch it,” he said. Last Service week, the Employees Students still fighting for free legal service by Mark Meltzer Campus editor Group Legal Services’ (GLS) three year struggle to provide UB students with legal free representation came one step closer to a conclusion yesterday in Federal Judge John T. Curtin’s private chambers. At press time Tuesday it was not know whether Curtin would rule in favor of University President Robert L. Ketter who has consistently rejected the legality of the GLS program. Curtin may rule in favor of GLS, or he may reserve decision until a later date. The case was heard last Wednesday. Since 1976, GLS has argued that students should be able to Inside: Socialist speaks— P. 2 / 'Works and Days’—P. 5 / Shakespeare in the park—P. 7 / obtain free representation in court under a service that would be funded by mandatory student activity fees. Ketter, however, maintained that such a service would be in violation of guidelines established for the disbursal of mandatory student fees. According to those guidelines, mandatory fees are to be spent only for programs that are of “educational, social or cultural enrichment or benefit to the campus community” and for student services “to supplement or add to those provided by the University.” Former SUNY Acting Chancellor James Kelly previously stated in The Spectrum that “It is our view that individual representation is of such a private —continued on page 11— Sisters Sledge—P. 10 �t u> 3 C|3 u/B Artpark Dance Festival f * presented by Office of Cultural Affairs f 3 major dance companies from the 1979 Artpark sesason on U/B campus July 31 through.

Decade of change Perhaps Harrington’s talk before 250 people in O’Brian Hall’s Moot Court on the Amherst Campus was part of his jcampaign to transform American society from a capitalist to a democratic socialist one. That, he speculated, will take “an entire historical era”*- a century or two. American society, Harrington proposed, “is entering on a decade of change as significant as the 1930’s. We are turning an historical corner.” ‘.‘The old economic rules have become obsolete. The Phillips Curve no longer curves,” Harrington said, referring to the principle that inflation counteracts unemployment and vice versa. Not long ago, noted Harrington, General Motors was able to raise prices and lay off workers simultaneously. The privately run American health care system has created a situation in which the U.S. spends a greater percentage of its Gross Harrington noted, than any other National Product on medical Western nation. America, however, does not similarly rate first in quality, he said. “Corporate priorities have infiltrated social legislation,” Harrington asserted, citing one decision some years ago to put a second deck for automobile traffic on the George Washington Bridge in Manhattan. The public interest would have been better served by more funds for mass transit, he argued, but the private corporate interest in the automobile prevailed. Summer Sessions helped to make this festival possible. fits WB. '£T' I cSv I *8? Staff Writer The Bplla Lewitzky Dance Company n—H i iiOOI» FOR II FRIES. >IT IIRLVK \« ». idy’s m Mgfii OLD fASMlON C D I S Wrong debate The reforms of the New Deal, Harrington said, assumed private corporations would make socially beneficial decisions. Harrington thinks this viewpoint will be challenged in the 1980s. In fact, Harrington’s belief that the future of American society cannot be entrusted to private corporations is central to his criticism of" the economic system and to his vision for the future. “We have been conducting the wrong debate,” he says. The right wing traditionally presents the option of individual freedom under “free enterprise” versus the option of stifling authoritarian collectivism under socialism. Harrington, however, points out that the choice has already been made; that the 21st century will be collectivist. What remains to be decided, he said, is whether it will be a democratic collectivism run “from the bottom up” or a collectivism run “from the top down” by an authoritarian corporate government. Corporate power must be limited by democratic power, he concluded. Toward that end Harrington backs legislation to restrict industrial flight to the non-union sunbelt by first requiring an assessment of social and economic impact. The change from capitalism to democratic socialism will be a centuries-long process, according to Harrington because it involves no sudden shift in power but a “transformation of American society’s psyche, its culture.” This change, he said, depends upon “an organized people capable of asserting its will.” It was for this purpose that the Democratic Socialist Organizing Committee was formed in 1973. DSOC’s founders assumed that the socialist presence in American politics had been “wiped out” (Harrington was Chairman of the Socialist Party from 1968-1972) and could best be reasserted through the Democratic Party where “most of the organized, socially-conscious working people are.” At present DSOC has only about 3500 members, Harrington said, which partly explains why they shun so grandiose a label as “party.” “We’re not a party. We are an organizing committee.” Harrington concedes that the growth of a socialist movemept and, eventually, society, will take a long time.

Many of these are masked in subtle academic ineptitudes, limited vision, and his failure to create to create a University community with spirit and energy. by Dianne Manning and Ed Strumlauf — 1 > > , Sometimes, Robert Ketter has been callous in his total disregard for students, and their programs, beliefs, and goals. One goal that the University President has managed to successfully tangle in his dhti-student web is the Group Legal Services' proposal to provide students with free legal representation in court. . Since GLS is funded by Sub Board, and Sub Board receives the gist of its money from the Student Association's mandatory fee revenue, it would make sense that students have the option to use their money to pay for their court lawyers. But Robert Ketter claims this service a service that would be available to all students violates the concept of mandatory student fees. — — He somehow justifies this anti-student belief a belief that is really designed to control students' power, limit our growth, and bind us to the past with rhetoric that claims individual representation is "too personal" to be used for the benefit of the campus community. — — If anything, Robert Ketter's personal power trips and inability to adequately control this University have forced him to take inadequate remedies. Specifically, he has consistently opposed a program that he could have logically supported probably with more success the GLS individual representation plan. — — It is this same type of gutless remedy that caused Robert Ketter to inflict an inventory ceiling on the student Record Co-op. It is this same near hostility towards students that caused him to reject the Graduate Student Employees Union as a recognized graduate bargaining agent. It is the same type of political dispute that prompted the President to prevent student fees from being used to pay for buses to Albany to protest Attica. It is the same intervention in student autonomy that moved Ketter to block a contract between the Student Association and the New York Public Interest Research Group in 1975. There are wo things that are significant about the adversarial attitude that Robert Ketter has adopted toward students. First, they are not just isolated examples; rather, they are part of a pattern, a continuous attitude, a destructive force. If the court rules in Ketter's favor and prevents GLS from supplying.free legal representation, then all student service programs are placed in jeopardy. It would be difficult to jus a Pharmacy that dispenses drugs cheaply to students that is funded by mandatory fees. How can individual counseling in Sub Board's Sexuality Education Center, counseling that is of a private and personal nature, be accepted as a benefit to the campus community? Why would an Off Campus Housing Office be allowed to continue to help individual students locate apartments? On these hot summer days, when many take to the beaches, others seek refuge in air conditioned homes. Some people feel they can beat the price of purchasing and running an air conditioner by spending their time in cool theaters. Though this combines entertainment with a nice atmosphere, it can be an expensive proposition. Buffalo City Court, on the other hand, offers live drama, comfortable surroundings, and more leg room than nearby free. There' theaters, at a price that can not be beat are, however, no refreshment stands, so bring your own popcorn. On a recent visit, we were fortunate to see some With the in-the-court action. ihteresting stenographer, court clerk, cross-examination, and swearing in of witnesses, it could have been old re-runs of Perry Mason. The only thing missing was Perry’s deep involvement with his clients. Both the defense and prosecuting attorneys seemed unsure of who they were representing. In fact, we were asked by each if we had a case pending. Possibly, it was due to the toy handcuffs we were wearing. Court was in session no more than 15 minutes before we heard screams from across the hall. As people were running out of the courtroom, we were pushing our way in with our press passes. A man had just been physically removed from the court for not standing when asked. The scene not only drew fear from the spectators, but blood from the uncooperative defendant. Court personnel reported that it was the second outburst of its kind that dqy. One case involved an 85 year-old man, who not only had been attacked with a shoe by a woman on Chippewa St., but was hard-of-hearing. By the blank look on his face while the judge and attorneys asked him questions, he obviously thought he was in mute - m QNTH / Well, if Robert Ketter can't see how all these programs are a benefit to this University and how he jeopardizes them, then his vision is far more short-sighted than we imagined. Tl\e second point is that not only are these part of a clearly defined pattern; but there is another broader flaw, one that cannot be easily unraveled the President's subtle disregard for students. Even more dangerous is his inability to reverse the,- rapidly degenerating atmosphere here, and the linTited number of attempts he has made to do so. - Robert Ketter is an adversary of students in many concretized in many others of much more serious nature the President is an adversary of UB. ways, but — — The Spectrum Vol. 30, No. 7 by Joel Dinerstein If everyone has the sacred right to an opinion, then those-people who get their beliefs, thoughts, etc. printed in any form should be especially careful to obey this hallowed ground.

The latter two concern me most as they are easily the most self-aggrandizing and therefore the most offensive. The l-know-more-words trap is generally one that critics dominate. Now granted, the critic allegedly Ts more informed in his field than the “layman,” but that doesn’t necessarily make his (her) (its) opinion any more important any one person’s opinion is as valid as anyone else’s. It would - jjjJ L--/ seem to me that the critic is in print because he can express his opinion better in writing than other average members of the audience. His opinion is more relevant in terms of categorizing and labelling, in making what he reviews more accessible to the public in terms of previous works in his genre. That is his job. For a critic to judge his audience and then make himself immune to any such judgements is simple pedestal-building, a function of the effulgent polysyllabic adjectives the critic may use. Do come down, O High and Mighty Critical Grand Wazoos, and join the poor average Americans among us in viewing the next film or show, reading the next book, listening to the next album or going to the next concert. Then can you please write an article that reviews the actual event? Without the word terpsichordian thrown in for pure chic value? People ate people, too, you know. “I’m a wild and crazy non-conformist,’" the columnists and writers cry. Catch me if you can. Sometimes it is worth the amusement to watch a writer state in an opening paragraph that he is (or does) something different, and then read the remainder of the article only to find that he is hopelessly as normal as he can be. It’s analogous to the time a friend of mine was in a composition class and the teacher had the class describe themselves in adjectives; twenty-seven out of the thirty students had written “crazy” as one of the adjectives. Just goes to show you how normal we all can be. Like a friend, a writer columnist, critic, or author can only, show his audience something and then try to prove it through the medium of words; guide you to think about something that isn’t usually in the forefront of your mind but not advise how-to think about it; try to transmit some of his enthusiasm about the importance of a topic, a new performer, a stage he (or someone he knows) is going through, without calling his readers names either subtly or otherwise. It’s a dangerous thing being in print. I know. And maybe I have overstated the obvious this time out, but it seems to me that the people those ideas should be most obvious to are the ones who least respect them. — carefully - * — — — — — - �\r I ‘Works and Days’ recall head asks Griffin Union Journal makes debut after a lengthy delay by Joyce Howe Managing Editor Thomas J.

To most of the University community, Works and Days is still “the much awaited and not to be seen” literary journal on campus. Originally conceived last September, graduate student Glenn Bowman of the English department brought a six page written proposal to Sub-Board I, Inc.’s Special Interest Publications Board for approval. The attractive hand stapled 95-page tri-quarterly finally materialized in early June after an original target date of February. According to Brian Caraher, one of the six members of what was intended to be a collective editorial board, the reasons for the four month delay in publication can be summed up with “Everything that could go wrong went wrong at least once.” Various technical problems with production as well as with staff were cited as major causes of the delay. Both Caraher and Bowman agree on the original intent of the publication as stated in the proposal. The only literary magazine currently on campus using a scholarly approach, Works and Days is a vehicle for promoting the “multidisciplinary efforts in both critical and creative areas.” According to Bowman, he came up with the idea of the journal (whose title is taken from the Greek poet Hesiod’s classic work considered to be the first piece of Western Literature to emphasize the “social and historical consequences and responsibilities of the actions of human individuals”) as a means of granting exposure to the works of students at this University. “I wanted to enable graduate and undergraduate students to have a chance to be published with faculty members whose names might give the journal prestige,” Bowman emphasized, “give people their first — break in publishing.” New aVenues Stressing the significance of that “first break in publishing,” Caraher placed it in today’s context of a pessimistic job market for those wishing to enter the teaching profession. He added, “the market for publication is very difficult, and it is good to have more.” For 'graduate students, any published articles they have to their credit when job hunting, the better their chances. As stipulated in the written proposal, fifty percent of the material to be printed in Works and Days is to be from students. The Spring 1979 issue sticks to this stipulation. Subtitled “Essays In The Socio-Historical Dimensions of Literature & The Arts,” the journal’s debut issue includes criticism and poetry written by various undergraduate and graduate students, primarily from the English - Energy... —continued from page 3— this amount justifiable? Well, large scale production of syn-fuels (conversion of shale oil, tar sand and coal into petroleum and gas), has never been proven on a commercial level. South Africa has had a synthetic oil plant in operation since 1960, but the reported cost of running it has been exorbitant. A barrel of synthetic oil is estimated to cost anywhere between $35 and $40. The base price for OPEC oil is now around $20. Environmental groups charge that syn-fuel development will mean the blighting of thousands of square miles of land in the West where most of the shale, coal and tar sand deposits lie. One alternative is increased utilization of solar power. And solar energy implies not only direct harnessing of the sun’s rays for heating, and electricity purposes, but also the employment of wind and water power for the productive potential of both these ultimately derives from the sun’s rays. — SKY-DIVING INSTRUCTION department. With such submissions as UB doctoral candidate Vicki Hill’s treatise on the treatment of economic and sexual power relationships by 19th and 20th Century American women writers entitled "No Happy Woman Ever Writes: The Politics of Domesticity,” and Oxford University British literature candidate Allan Hunter’s piece on the Darwinian natural history of Joseph Conrad’s ethics, Works and Days is developing the theme set forth by Hesiod. New perspective Caraher defined the journal’s intended editorial stance as “interested in showing discussions of ideology as an important way of looking at arts and literature.” It is his feeling that the socio-historical perspective is “one avenue of literature and art that’s generally being slighted.” Allotted $700 by the Special Interests Publications Board last Fall to fund its first two issues (the second was slated to appear last May), Works and Days was to be distributed free of charge throughout the city. The hope of the editors was that word of mouth and the magazine’s exposure would enable future issues to be supported by subscriptions and sales at $2 each. Works and Days' debut cost $650 $350 from Sub-Board plus additional funds from advertising and sources such as the English department providing the remaining $300. While there was an initial press run of 2000 copies, only 380 copies were actually distributed throughout Buffalo. The pages of 1500 copies, still waiting to be collated. Tie stored away in boxes.

Perhaps the ultimate justification for support of Works and Days can be gathered from Bowman as he further explains its purpose, “UB has been suffering a slow decline from the loss of faculty and money since the Sixties. I wanted tc show that basically people are still smart here, and there is still good stuff going on.” ' AT - Lateness may jeopardize There is a possibility the second issue of Works and Days may not live to see the light of print. As expressed by one member of the Special Interest Publications Board, the first issue’s lateness may jeopardize the release of the second half of their allocated $700. Sub-Board Executive Director Dennis Black commented, “It hasn’t been decided yet what will be done with the funds.” However, editors Caraher and Bowman are optimistic about the future of Works and Days. A new editorial board, primarily interested graduate students who joined the first issue in its latter editing stages, is now working on material already gathered for the second issue. A list of relevant departments (English and Women’s Studies) at out-of-town schools which might be interested in subscriptions is being compiled. Bowman is hopeful that the second issue will “be only partially contingent on Sub-Board funds” and looks to other sources of Research monies for solar power have been relatively meager until now. Carter’s latest proposals call for increased funding, but he could go a lot farther. Even so, the President foresees 20 percent of the nation’s energy needs being fulfilled by solar energy at the turn of the century. Carter maintains that much of the cost for his huge proposal will be subsidized by oil company windfall-profits’ taxes, taxes that will be levied upon the lifting of domestic oil price regulations. One noted economist, however, contends that the windfall profits tax will reap in only about S5 billion over the next ten years. The President also set an annual oil import limit, fixing the amount at peak 1977 levels. Increased conservation and alternative energy resources are supposed to fill in the gap.

You could tell by the crowds filling the bowl of Delaware Park’s Rose Garden at the rate of 600-700 persons nightly. Even before seeing the crowd, you could tell by the frequent laughter. And after being there (as if there was ever any doubt), you_would know positively that Comedy of Errors presented by SUNY Buffalo and the Center for Theater Research, was a success. And you’d be right. There were the suburbians, always in pairs, who came with green chaise lounges; young professionals who talked earnestly about the latest bud in therenaissance of Buffalo; and 14 year-olds who hadn’t the slightest idea of what was happening on the stage but clapped as furiously as anyone else when an act or production number ended. And as if by instinct, somehow aware of why all these people were here, the babies and the dogs in the audience remained blessedly mute for the entire performance. Comedy of Errors, the first half of the fourth season of Shakespeare in the Park, worked its heady magic, ensconcing the perennial performances as a Buffalo tradition. The "web of mistaken identity,” involving two sets of identical twins set in the early Mediterranean, are the focal points of Comedy, directed by Saul Elkin. While the lingua franca i$ Elizabethan English, the costumes are, for the most part, late health/disco-oriented leisure duds. The stage is similarly eclectic a parquet of doors, scruffily painted in pastels. Sp (he stage is set. But no, when you least expect it, a wild profusion of flashy joggers thunder down upon the audience. And it is the wooly confusion of these same self-styled zanies (as they are called) that get the play running at a bumptious pace. The unique quality that shimmers throughout Comedy is its sense of wholeness, so much so that to pick on one element of the production for critical appraisal — — seems whiny. The simple truth is: 1) the actors do act 2) the dancers do dance . _, 3) the singers do sing and most assuredly Ray Leslee and his band do play! That is not to say there aren’t flaws. Some of the acfprs seem to feel that since there are microphone* on , stage, they need not play to the audience, sometimes forgetting that acting with the audience ih mind forges a vital emotional link as well as helping us to hear them more clearly. At times, the Leslee score is an embarrassment of riches, outshining the play. But at least this is an excess on the side of excellence as opposed to incompetency. The stage design, not credited in the program, worked well but there was very little about it that seemed custom-fitted to Comedy. But I’m tired of whining, so on with the show ... The‘Jack’of it Whereas this assemblage has no fault that proves fatal to the production, there are links in the chain of this production that bind it together and give it sterling quality. There are the uncanny performances of the twins, Dromio of Ephesus (Paul Kawalec) and Bromio of Syracuse (James McGuire). Together they put in a performance so mimical of each other, so symmetrical that if there was an award being given to one, 1 would demand that the other receive half. (Better still, I would demand they each receive one.) Antipholus of Syracuse (Jack Hunter) and Antipholus of Ephesus (Mark Donahue) were easier to distinguish. Hunter, a more jovial Antipholus, was emblematic the light tenor of the production as opposed to Donahue’s interesting but more blusterously humorous character. Donahue seemed to prefer satirizing the situation rather than being the joke, or the "jack” itself. Richard Wesp as Aegeon has his job cut out for him, competing with all the comedic clutter mostly through flexing visual gags. Happy to say, he earns his share of BARD IN BUFFALO: Music and merriment make for farcical ‘Comedy of Errors' in modern day forest of our own Delaware Park zmgers. The Zanies’ shock value slowly ebbs each time they appear. By the end of the play, we accept the Zanies like apparitions we’ve lived with so long they no longer surprise us. While they are overused, they have as much a share of rooters in the audience as any other single character. Essentially, they are the key to Comedy's appeal, especially for persons who don’t comprehend the story, which, despite efforts to make more lucid, isn’t always simple to follow. They bring Comedy up to the level pf a quasi-musical and in singular scenes act as essential contrapuntal devices to illuminate Shakespearean peculiarities; like the scene that revolves about a throwaway line about the City of Ephesus being full of jugglers and other bewildering people. Shakespeare, for all his esteemed reputation, was one of the most notorious punsters ever to make an audience groan. Comedy highlights this proclivity acutely, and this probably is the seminal contribution of director Saul Elkin. Also, he skillfully avoided using the unusual set for the Shakespearean Laugh-In it suggested. Comedy in essence The audience didn’t catch every one of the farcical references made in the play; but, more importantly, they sensed the spirit and they laughed. In essence, that’s the highest ideal a comedy can aim for to foster sympathy in the audience for the play that carries humor which is not logically justifiable. And that’s because comedy, in essence, is illogical. As the good Reverend Pinch, Ministrator of potions for the possessed might say, repent, and get thy self to the play. Sit up front, I wouldn’t want you to miss any of the nuances. You have three more performances in which to catch them, and then another Buffalo tradition will close without you knowing what the hell there is in this city to fight for in the arts. At least, that is, until Delaware’s next production, Much Ado About Nothing. See you there. - —Ralph Allen �00 UNIVERSITY PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH LUCIAN C. PARLATO Attorney At - - Law 5700 Main Street.

Yet, despite the attention these groups receive putside Buffalo, local audiences for experimental New Wave music remain disappointingly small. It is true that the more adventurous groups demand their audiences to dispense witli the usual rules of electric music. However, a snobbery seems at work here; people will spend $8.50 to hear some sludgehounds from L.A. play at the Aud but won’t pay a lousy buck to hear some band from Kenmore, even though the local group is making music which is infinitely more vital and fresh. We live in a national center for creative music with a staggering number of local bands who play original material music which must be seen as well as heard. For example, two weeks ago at the Hallwalls Gallery, three brand-new Buffalo groups, Mae Furst, the A-Tones, and The Men played completely original music with a more "established” band, The Indians. The energy and creativity of the assembled groups easily surpassed the humid heat of the July night. — - — I | Allen | Chemo therapy The first group to play was Mae Furst. The focus of the band was often provided by multi-instrumentalist Paul Huekel, who played keyboards, flute, baritone horn, and voice. The rest of the group included drummer Jim Burdick, bass, female vocalist (for one song), and Paul's father on electric violin, mysterious in grey hair, dark shades, and cool demeanor. Mae Furst’s music generally consists of a single riff repeated continuously with variations, creating a hypnotic groove. What keeps the generally instrumental compositions afloat is the skill in improvisation and electronic wizardry of the Huekels, along with the rock-steady backbeat of the rhythm section. Occasionally, a piece would threaten to extend itself beyond its proper lifespan, but the great majority of their set was most absorbing. In contrast to the cool control of the first group, the A-Tones came out and blew us away with a healthy dose of chaotic New Wave satire. Imagine a cross between Bob Marley, Frank Zappa, and the Ramones and you might get an idea of what they sounded like. Mark Weinstein, looking both jolly and ferocious, pounded out the racking beat while his sister Rachel played psychedelic organ riffs. Guitarist Ken X (the unknown variable), bassist Craig Davidson, and singer-sax player Tony Billoni rounded out the group.-The often hilarious songs by Tony and the group had strong theatrical elements; in one piece about, “Chemotherapy,” Mark Weinstein squeezed and mutilated a chocolate twinkle while we looked on in horror. The A-Tones are a new grbup and their chances for success seem excellent if they can balance the theatrical (as exemplified by Billoni’s hamminess) with the musical (evident in the solid playing of the rest of the group). Are we not The Men, a nuclear-power-trio, came one next, creating massive, monolithic walls of sound. Shifts within the static textures provided changing points of interest. Drummer Russell Schonwetter syncopated or undermined a pulse that had been taken for granted. Guitarist Larry Gowalski created simple lines which would periodically emerge from the din only to be buried again. Bassist/singer/lyricist Bill Orcutt would scream, in an endearingly hysterical tenor, some of the best lines of the evening: “Walking down the hallway my skin starts to glow.. .nuclear reactors are fun.” or, “Gonna take my lover on a shopping spree/Gonna buy her veggies to eat with me.” The overall effect was one of mock-hostility: the bizarre stage presence of the group seemed to play off sacred notions about heavy metal power-rock, whije preserving a New Wave distancing and respect for static melodic units. An auspicious debut. - How Finally, the Indians surprised the unsuspecting with their inspired use of synthetic electronics, their ultra-punk personae, and the repetitious clarity of their compositions. In some ways, they were the. least spontaneous of the groups present; there is little room for true improvisation in their music, and their image seems rather carefully constructed. But they are true originals; and in their performances the audience is given no choice but to confront the music being played, to consider questions being raised about the future of electric music. It is appalling to consider that they are not allowed to play at many of Buffalo’s more commercial establishments. Go see them when and where you can. Experimentation is a tricky thing. It can invite fraud; anybody will listen to you if you’re strange enough. But here in Buffalo, with its wealth of excellent new groups, there is no need to accept chic opportunism 6f sloppy aesthetics. The above groups, all of which show great originality, creativity, and promise, are only a sampling of what is available to the open-minded listener. Go out on a limb. Some of the best musicians are there already. �rr»- ctes Just You and Me, Kid' can cause cavities Another manipulator of viewers' emotions by Ross Chapman fust You and Me Kid is a lot like caiined pudding: although the artificial sweetners might have ill effects in the long term, it’s inoffensive. But basically "inoffensive” is just around the corner from “inconsequential,” so why bother with it? It’s smooth, homogenized, and sanitized but falls short of being truly pleasing because it’s boring. And boredom troubles this film if anything does. just You And Me Kid Is blunderless I suppose but is an unnutritious enterprise offering nothing more than can be had by watching Eight Is Enough or any of TV’s processed, other and frozen factory-packed, cutie-pies. And TV is a lot cheaper - , to watch. Indeed, outside of a few spare scatological vulgarities, Just You And Me Kid could very well be the ABC Movie of the Week. This is a clean film folks: you could eat off it if you had the appetite. The sets are very clean homes and the photography is a clean, flat surface upon which George Burns and Brooke Shields lukewarm your heart. But all this scrupulous tidiness leaves no grit and no grime. As a result, the film has all the edge of Jello and slips into a bath of sugar weepy sentimentality. hard-boiled wisdom of the world. She’s got grown-up problems: she is being pursued by a homicidal thug straight out of Hawaii Five-O. But after just ten minutes with Burns, she regresses into a little girl a brat to be precise. As in Pretty Baby, Sheilds is redeemed at the end of the film, but whereas her redemption in Pretty Baby is ironic and satiric, here it is blissful, a happy ending: what could be more wonderful, the film posits, than being adopted by a frumpy Beverly Hills couple? The sharp child-woman paradox of Pretty Baby degrades into a wobbly, soggy confusion of maturity with corruption and immaturity with cuteness. This brings us back to the film’s central malaise; if suspense or a tale of moral redemption were intended, it was sacrificed to dogged sentimentalism. My advice then to anyone considering seeing Just You And Me Kid is the same advice I would give to prospective purchasers of canned pudding: don’t bother buying it; it’s not worth the money. But if you do, be sure to brush your teeth afterwards lest decay set in. that George Burns is a lovable guy and Brooke Sheilds is obviously a cute kid. But the film dwells unduly on this. In the opening sequence, George Burns does a little softshoe and he never stops. He keeps dancing through the film, grinning from ear to big ear, and mouthing corny, cute lines written by Oliver ( Hailey and Leonard Stern, men blissfully unknown to me until this film. George Burns’ comic personna is archaic but so consistent, for so long, it has to be sincere. And I fully realize the foolishness of demanding originality from an eighty year old man. But the film spotlights his dottering wit and expects that to be sufficient. Nothing happens. He isn’t played off anyone. Brooke Sheilds does bluster and blow with a smattering of foul language and easy cynicism but she’s a blurr. She’s persistantly out of focus. In Tender udders My readers know that 1 often object to this nauseaus syndrome of Hallmark greeting cards, The Dinah Shore Show, suburban old ladies, and vast regions of New Jersey. What they may not know is that 1 object, not because I am crusted over and incapable of tenderness or warmth, but because I value these feelings and loathe seeing them manipulated mechanically in the interest of profit. Just as there are screamers and tear jerkers, so there are films which milk tender feelings from you, films which beg to be loved and forever reminds me of those black velvet of paintings droopy-eyed puppies. To be fair, though this emotional engineering does go on in Just You And Me Kid, it is neither as outrageous nor as offensive as in, say, Rocky //. From past experience, 1 know Louis Malle’s Pretty Baby, she was a very solid character, a little girl playing the woman’s game of prostitution. In just You And Me Kid, she enters the film nude, smacking of prostitution and a 4*Ut THIS SUMMER K TAKE THE HEAT OFF FALL!

David Bowie refuses to sit still. But whether he’s immersed in New York’s steamiest discos or splitting speed on African night flights, the only predictable quality of Bowie is that he will momentarily, and randomly, place his finger directly on the mainstream’s pulse. c Then he will remove it, just as quickly, and race off with cohort Brian Eno to contioue work on the great European experiment, examining styles and structures that might be considered the forerunner of No Wave music; a relationship that has solidified with their collaborations Low and Heroes. the time Eno is even less stationary than Bowie. He doesn’t even sit. Amassed upon Lodger are the latest of Brian’s kinetic playthings and Enofications: ambient drone, horse trumpets, prepared pianos, eroica horn, cricket menace and guitar treatments. The purpose of these systems will inevitably become visible as Eno shapes the future of music. Side B - Boys Keep Swinging D.K ' i Side A The Travelogue Fantasic Voyage African Night Flight Move On Yassassin (Turkish for: Long Live) Red Sails This side embraces Bowie’s visions of foreign lands and his romantic proclivity for displacing the English language with tongues of foreign visionaries; Seemed like another day / could fly Into the eye of God on high. .

Electricity at Shea's Look Back In Anger Boys Keep Swinging Repetition Red Money Side two discloses Bowie’s lust for structural deviance and musical At one point, Bowie disclosed in a recent radio interview, cue cards carrying chord patterns and time signature changes were randomly flashed at the musicians, (Dennis Davis drums, George Murray bass, Adrian Belew guitar, Carlos Alomar.— guitar, Simon House violin, and Roger Powell synthesizers), much to their frustration. As for musical chairs, Bowie actually made the members of his groups swap and perform with instruments that they’ve never played before. The result became "Boys Keep Swinging.” The alignment of sompositions here form the counterbalance that makes this Bowie LP indicative of his legacy: ch-ch-ch-changes. More recently, Bowie performed at a Steve Reich/Phillip Glass concert in New York City that was labelled "the first concert of the Eighties.” His instrument was the violin. His training? Zero. Think of that next time you’re digging "D.J.” on your car radio. It’s all so atypical of Bo>vie. - — — — — 'The Spectrum' office, 355 Squire (M-F 9 a.m.-5 p.m.) by Harold Goldberg thought I shouldn’t review soul music because I didn’t know as about if as I did rock ’n roll. But after five years around this I haven’t seen one review of a soul concert. (The Average White doesn’t count because they’re crap.) That smacks of a sort of discrimination that’s at the very least tacit Sister Sledge and Heatwave exercised the possibilities of sustained energy at the Shea’s Theater last Friday night Rhythm, acrobatics, harmonies, and talk of sex produced the electricity that sometimes was contrived. Heatwave based its set upon harmony as the ground for energy no mean feat since one of the vocalists had been in a auto accident and a new member had to replace him. The replacement’s strong and happy singing received screams of hysteria akin to hearing “Always and Forever” during a Beatles concert. He drew out this song with very high, sustained notes so that during the end its melody became merely tolerable. The highlight of Heatwave’s set was neither the bass lines, although rugged enough, nor the nearly non-existent guitar solo.Ht was an acrobatic feat where five members of the band formed a pyramid by standing on each other’s limbs that led the audience to leer, gape, ooh and ahh. This act continued the idea of fun, party and boogie promoted by the band. The problem was that it was too clear that Heatwave was trying to make you enjoy. Sister Sledge wanted everyone to be part of their family and kept repeating that fact throughout the set, and the crowd seemed to believe it That’s because the sisters joked between songs with mock argument and jealousy which aren’t exactly goody-good, happy family times, although they end up that way. Sledge’s vocals were richly crafted yet left room for the leader’s improvisation, as on Stevie Wonder’s "Always.” Their dance is simple but taxing; they never tired during the movements but perspired quite • a lot After some theatrics with a member of the audience, they rolled into a song that might have been called "Special Friend.” Dennis, the representative of the audience, was in his glory, but cool, while the sisters played with his emotions. Dennis was caught cheating on his special friend by becoming friends with the other two pretty sisters. There was vaudeville comedy in this song/skit and the audience howled. The band kept the pace with pounding percussion, boisterous bass riffs and heavenly horns during "He’s The Greatest Dancer.” The greatest problem I saw with Heatwave and Sister Sledge happened with their encores, which were repeats of their hit songs" I can see that these sustain energy but they aren’t creative, speculative or-unusual. I’m sure the audience expected more. I much pfece, Band - • DISCO DANCE CLASSES THE RHYTHM DANCE STUDIOS 1444 HERTEL AVENUE - CORNER NORWALK JOIN THE FUN instead of watching it!

State money legal provide representation to its membership? To prove that it does, Lippes has invoked three Supreme Court decisions in which the court, to wi . “very strongly held, in our opinion” that unions had the right to provide legal representation, for To serve and learn But Executive Director of Sub Board Dennis Black, one of the, two witnesses for the GLS side in last Wednesday’s hearing (July 11), argues that many of Sub Board’s services such as the Sexuality Education Center, the Off-Campus Housing Office and the Pharmacy might be considered personal in nature yet 'they benefit many students. Associate Director of GLS Debra Decker testified at the hearing, according to Black, that she joined GLS to augment her education in the law. Black added that if approved, the GLS could representation program prove a fertile learning ground for many law students. “It could magnify what we’re doing now by so many fold,” he said. Besides arguing that Ketter’s grounds for rejecting the GLS proposal were improper, Student Richard lawyer Association also brought up a Lippes constitutional question; Does an organization have a constitutional right —*° However, Lippes said, the only such case involving students was overturned by a Court of Appeals after a lower court had ruled in favor of the students. But Lippes is careful to note that with this case, in which a Public Interest Research Group sued for University of Maryland students, the money to fund the project Was State money. The UB case concerns the students’ rights to spend money,” “our own according to Lippes. “We think very significant that’s a difference,” he added. The hearing was marked by a controversial statement by Ketter that reportedly led Judge Curtin to become angry with Lippes. Lippes argued, and finally proved, that the gLs proposal being debated was different from the one Associate Vice President for Anthony Student Affairs Lorenzetti originally rejected in June of 1977. GLS agreed to alter a provision that would have sent students racing for the GLS office in order to be represented. That provision would have allowed GLS to defend the first of two it student adversaries that encountered and provide the other with up to $100 in legal fees. Though that provision, which had even split students on its merit, was removed some time ago, Ketter made references to it in his testimony as though it were still a part of the GLS package, according to Black. Black said that Ketter called the feature “detestable.” Judge Curtin, confused by the apparent switch in proposals, became angry at Lippes, and did not “apologize” even after Ketter was forced to concede that he had rejected both the original version and the revised version, according to Black. The Buffalo Evening News erroneously reported that the “race to the attorney” feature remained in the proposal.. The confusion faded “a long way into the proceedings and after he (Ketter) had scored a number of points on the detestability of the program,” Black reported. Among arguments the discussed at yesterday’s meeting was a motion to dismiss by the (Ketter’s side); but, according to Lippes, “motions to dismiss are made as a matter of course.” Black was hoping that Curtin would not decide at yesterday’s meeting because, he said, “If there’s a decision Thursday, it’ll be a poor one. That’s my guess.” A decision either way could result in an appeal to the Second Circuit Court which Lippes estimated might take six more months to resolve.

Queens to register at my local draft board. A diminutive career Army officer in his mid-thirties peered through thick-lensed spectacles and typed out my name and some miscellaneous physical descriptions on two white cards, one of which he handed to me. Ambivalent about the requisite and soon-to-be moot procedure, IK traipsed out of the sleepy office, the card tucked securely in a small pocket in my wallet My draft card is now creased and tattered. The ink lettering is now smudged beyond recognition. It’s a useless piece of paper the Selective Service System having been disbanded approximately five years ago, but I hang onto it anyway for some vague sentimental reason. The one great fear of youth in the Sixties being drafted is something our present generation hasn’t had to face. No foreign war; plagues our society and economy. We have had five years of generally since uninterrupted peace America ended its military involvement in Southeast Asia in 1973. And the conscription ftrmy has been replaced by an all-volunteer force drawn largely from a pool of minority civilians, most of whom found themselves unable tQ land a job in the civilian sector. After its popular demise a half decade ago, the explosive draft issue faded. It hasn’t resurfaced as a viable threat all during that time until now. - — — End of all-volunteer army Suddenly, within the last few months, talk is circulating jn Washington about a resumption of the draft. Last month, a bill was pushed through the Senate Armed Services Committee, largely at the'initiative of longtime volunteer army foe, Sam Nunn (D-Ga) which proposes a gearing up of the defunct draft registration system. Although there seems to be widespread opposition on Capitol tiill to the current bill (expectedto reach the Senate floor before Nunn and other draft proponents Wave indicated that they see August * the reinstatement of Registration as the first step in getting Rid of the all-volunteer army and replacing it with ft conscription force. ‘ What is the case for si draft army in peacetime? 4s the all-volunteer army such a miserable failure that it has to be scrapped? To be sure, the volunteer army has been embroiled in its sham, of controversy since its rocky start five years ago. Critics have charged that the-army is now plagued with Analysis widespread functional illiteracy, thfit there is a' disproportionatelypercentage of enlistees minorities among thi and that our armed forces are now suffering from low morale. When the volunteer ariiy was first proposed, many liberals feared the professional anpy posed the threat of an elite military corpa sequestered from society, one that might encroach on the national political process. Some columnists raised the specter of a professional anby creating the climate for a -military cojap v ;y d’etat. - \ What .are the chances of ft registration bill clearing Congress? Alex Knopp, legislative assistant to Senator George McGovern (D-S. Dak.), a. decided opponent of registration and the draft, gives it a SO-SO chance of passing. Knopp, optimistically to pointed however, resistance among Capitol Hill conservatives like Re. Phillip Crane, Sen. Robert Dole, and notable conservatives off the Hill like Ronald Reagan to a reimposition of draft registration. “Even the strongest supporters of a renewed draft,” Knopp said, “recognize that it would be highly unpopular.” Would there in fact be a public outcry if the draft were reimposeef? Duane Shank, chief coordinator of the Committee Against Registration and the Draft (CARD), a broad coalition- of Vietnam factor The anti'draft fight has been given top priority by the ACLU, an organization that has rapidly emerged as the single most active and vociferous lobbying group in the movement. ACLU spokesman Davicf Landau underscored the Tact that the draft would result, in a massive violation of civil liberties. “Millions of youth will be subjected to obnoxious mental and physical examinations. You’ll be forced to notify your draft board if you change your residence or if you leave the Country. It is unconscionable to have millions of our young people under the sway of our military establishment’s whims. I felt that, if the nation had opposed the stepping up of the draft in the early sixties, we might not have had a Vietnarn,” Landau •' Manpower problem The fears of something resembling the above scenario have been largely dispelled. But how serious are the other problems? The Pentagon maintains that these chinks in its armor are largely overdramatized, and that their only real problem is manpower, a shortfall which they are in the process of overcoming. Lieutenant Colonel Ladue, a Pentagon The recruitment coordinator told Spectrum the volunteer system “is working anjJ working well.” “The Army,” he added, “is completely behind the system and is opposed to its replacement with a draft.” The Colonel disputed the widespread contention that our armed forces are laden with high school dropouts, pointing instead to statistics which show that there are a higher number of high school graduates in today’s military 86 percent than during the Second World War 40 percent. “Illiteracy is a problem which the army has inherited from the failings of our educational system,” he maintained, “and — - with the implementing of programs we hope to lick it.” remedial It is unconscionable to have millions of our young people under the sway of our military establishment's v whims. —ACLU spokesman . . 12 midnight (providing there is emphasized. There are many democratic nations around the globe including Sweden, the Netherlands and 'Italy which have had conscription systems in force for twenty years or more and haven’t yet fought an armed conflict in at least a generation. Indeed opposition exists in these countries against the draft but not on the scale and to the degree that it appears to be in the U.S, Why might this be the case? CARD coordinator David Shank believes the answer can be summed up in one word; Vietnam. He explains, “Although the youth group that is eligible for the draft today were children when the War was being waged, the bad memories of the alienation and division still linger on. And the draft was a key component of the War.” • ’ anti-draft ' which ranges in from the American, Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) to the American Friends Society (the Quakers) indicated that according to the latest public opinion polls as many as 250,000 eligible conscripts would refuse to register if the draft was reinstituted. “Half or better of a sampled group of high school students expressed their unqualified opposition to a new groups membership Wednesday, July 18th — Shank then quoted a recently released Department study on the volunteer force Which concluded, “the volunteer army is equal or better than the draft force in terms of number of desertions, test scores and readiness.” “In light of these findings, there is no convincing rationale for a renewed draft,” Shank argued. Formed last April, CARD is coordinating a nationwide lobbying effort the draft. At present, the against committee has 35 member organizations and their ranks are swelling. Defense Nationwide lobbying yvogcu Rooties Flesh Party from 9 pm draft,’/ Shank a4ded. If public statement is an accurate gauge, it appears that the Pentagon is in favor of retaining the volunteer system. Defense Secretary Harold Brown has indicated that he is in full support of its continuance. But whether the volunteer army stays or goes is not up to our military chiefs,'“The army will have to go along with any change that the Congress and the President ratifies,’’ Ladue noted.

CSEA questions UB handling of nuclear and chemical wastes Needs support Editor-tn-Chief Arts and Let cuts cause dual jeopardy by Mark Meltzer Campus Editor SUNY system struck SUNY New this year. New Paltz, according to UB English Department Chairman Gale Carrithers, may be so financially crippled that it may be facing extinction. Carrithers noted that officials from SUNY Central, the Division of Budget and Governor Hugh Carey’s staff have repeatedly refuted the political feasibility of balancing the SUNY budget by eliminating a whole campus. “Nevertheless, something like that appears to be happening at New Paltz,” he said. “There’s nobody here who could calmly and cheerfully say scratch Campus X,” Carrithers explained, “but we are placed in the 'Unpleasant and distasteful position of preferring that. From ■ our point of view, it’s healthier.” While it could possibly benefit •UB financially if a school within SUNY folded, it is hard to imagine the people of Westchester county calmly accepting a of the New Paltz 'campus. What seems more likely is that UB will have to survive on the funding it now gets, or even v less. The programs with low enrollment are most likely to siiffer from the fiscal famine. Vice President for Academic Affairs Ronald Bunn’s Academic Plan rationing recommends UB’s dwindling resources to guarantee that the quality of high demand programs won’t falter. Although the University is claims Paltz.earlier A steady, six year drop in the number of Bachelor of Arts degrees awarded to Arts and Letters students has plunged the Faculty, which contains one of the nation’s top-ranked English Departments, into deep academic and fiscal jeopardy. Statistics from the office of Admissions and Records reveal that a record 50 percent of the incoming freshman class plan to major in Engineering, Management or Health Sciences. High demand for these fields, coupled with low demand for liberal arts, has left Arts and Letters with a diminishing student enrollment and a future threatened by hardships. Close to 17 percent of the University’s 1972-73 graduates received degrees from Arts and Letters, but that figure has declined each year, reaching a low of 11.4 percent for the 1977-78 class. Figures are not yet available for 1978-79. “All I’ve heard is that the liberal arts are going to get it again,” a despondent Arts and Letters Dean George Levine told The Spectrum last week. “I’ve been expected to sit passively by and wait for the axe to fall.” Levine charged the University Although the University is supposedly committed to maintaining quality for all programs, low demand departments must fight the loss of their facultyprofessors who resign or transfer are unlikely to be replaced. administration with “gradually bleeding” Arts and Letters to protect the popular professional programs. Many professors fear not only that money will be taken from Arts and Letters, but that they may actually lose their jobs called “faculty retrenchment” by Albany. “Retrenchment and the abandonment of programs are the only alternatives that have been presented to me,” Levine — said. Extinction The only case of retrenchment occurring recently within the President Bob Smith claim that are also insufficient The grievance Hunt said .he was following EPA notes that “movement of such by Daniels.Parker / commitment to maintaining for all programs, low demand departments must fight the loss of their faculty professors who resign or transfer are unlikely to be replaced. quality — Almost lost her Money is so tight that, according to Carrithers, English would be permitted to replace a professor, “only if he absolutely had to be replaced or a program would fail.” Recently, the Department almost lost Ann Payne, the only instructor in the department who teaches Old English. “Thank God, she decided to stay,” Carrithers said; without Professor Payne there would be no one in the department with this expertise. According to Carrithers, Bunn finds “Arts and Letters in general, and English in particular, a place where he can afford to economize.” But the strain has v The Service University’s local Civil Employees Association (CSEA) has filed an official grievance stemming) from what it deems “the State University’s failure to 'implement safety standards for workers handling nuclear and chemical wastes, including oils containing PCBs.” The Union, local 602, has been negotiating with University officials since October. when a Fargo Quadrangle transformer in the Ellicott Complex leaked its coolant that contained PCB. PCBs (Poly Chlorinated Biphenol) are chemicals used as fire retardants and stabilizers of oil under high temperatures. Union officials concurred that the PCB incident is just a small piece of a broader issue the safety of CSEA employees and the University community. According to University Director of Environmental Health and Safety Hunt, Robert “Experiments with PCBs which resulted in cancer were successful after repeated oral doses or exposure to fumes liberated when the product was heated.” Hunt stated that there are no Federal laws pertaining to PCBs and work situations, only recommendatiotis. However, he pointed out that the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has regulations for storage and disposal. guidelines, “but has not.” Our main concern, said Smith, “is not the spill.” The CSEA officials noted that Hunt told them- he ordered EPA-approved barrels on May 10 almost seven months after the transformer leaked in Fargo. Furthermore, they explained that much of the contaminated material has been sitting in an open area in the Chilled Water Plant and the clothing has been contained in plastic bags, rather than approved barrels. “The material is supposed to be stored in a separate building,” Smith said. Hunt and Vite President for Finance and Management Edward W. Doty believe proper measures - materials is made on any available truck with any available crew, wth or without training; there is inadequate record keeping and that workers are not warned of potential hazards, nor is die gneral public since trucks are unmarked.” Smith always remarked, “No one wants some of this Love Canal business happening to us.” Admitting that their grievance is just an allegation and nothing has been proved, the CSEA officers have demanded that workers receive proper training, that a single truck and crew be used for all pickups and deliveries of radioactive materials, and that employees may refuse to move any materials that they believe to — TOXIC THREAT: Civil Service Employees Association Grievance Chairperson Barbara Kauffman warns that the University needs batter procedures for dealing with dangerous chemicals. The Union charges the University violated Occupational safety Service standards in the handling and storage of the chemicals. Below, the barrels containing toxic PCBs sit in the basement of the Chilled Water Plant on the Amherst Campus. —Jim DIVIocanso Healthful conditions? The Union’s specific grievance that the material contaminated by the transformer leak including oil, clothing and vacuum cleaners has been stored since October in *'an Open area of the Chilled Water Plant even though the barrels are of questionable safety and the clothing and vacuum cleaners are unmarked.” Concern of Union officials, however, is much more extensive than the immediate handling of the PCB leakage. CSEA Grievance Chairperson Barbara Kauffman believes that the University should establish proper procedures for both chemical and radioactive materials. The grievance, which requires response a from University President Robert L. Ketter within 20 working days, further charges that SUNy Buffalo has failed to take action to correct these certain conditions and is in violation of Article 38 of the Occupational Services Unit agreement between the State of New York and the CSEA.” Article 38 of the Union contract notes, “The State agrees to endeavor to provide standards for the protection of employees well-being and to provide and maintain safe and healthful working conditions and initiate and maintain operating practices that will safeguard employees.” states — — ... ... —continued on page 14— Failed to respond Union officials believe that since the October incident transpired, the University has English 271 M, registration number 442991, failed to adequately respond to third session, has been wrongly listed as “Literary the storage problem and not Approaches: Seduction.” The course is actually established proper procedures for titled “Women Authors" and is being taught by Jane future occurrences.

In this age of contamination, the Love Canal in our backyard and a nuclear reactor on campus, it is easy to understand their growing concern. This does not mean that UB has no safety standards, training procedures, or clearly marked containers. Rather, it means all hazardous materials should have carefully designed handling procedures, distinct records of exactly who handles what and how should be kept, and medical procedures for both short-term care andlong term examination should be established. As CSEA officials clearly point out, the radioactive and chemical materials that float from one hospital to UB's campus, the trucks that carry paper clips and toxic chemicals, the workers who don't know if they're lifting last week's hamburgers or thisweek's carcinogens are all caused by a lack of clearly defined procedure. When the coolant containing PCB leaked from the Fargo transformer last October, it was pretty poor planning not to have the area cordoned off prior to the spill as containing dangerous chemicals. The transformers throughout campus are now all marked or soon-to-be designated as such. It was poorer planning that University officials asked the Union who else besides the one guy who stepped in the contaminated liquid may have been affected. It is not the Union's responsibility, it is UB's Personnel Department's job to know exactly who was where and when. It was poorer planning still not to have any of the EPA-approved barrels available or to wait until May or order them so that the liquid and clothing could be properly stored. We will now have these barrels on hand for the next time. Instead of waiting for every "next time" to occur, it might just make a little bit of sense to require a little more foresight, demand a little more planning, on what is the appropriate way to deal with thesesituations. The situation wasn't dangerous, or so they say. But with chemical graveyards being discovered daily and nuclear storage facilities closing with almost as great a frequency, it would be reassuring to know how these situations are going to be treated. It is not just a problem thataffects the workers whohandle the stuff. It is a problem of immediate concern for the University community because those it could affect are as unknown as the potential dangers. One thing that is known is that it is time now to plan in order to prevent future gripes, to prepare for the unexpected. Maybe next time, the next PCB incident will not be Partially a Case of Bungling. : > • - — — — BAKER — - — Stop the machine The University has a responsibility to maintain quality programs in diverse Faculties regardless of the exorbitant demand for a few concentrated programs, namely Engineering, Management and Health Sciences. That's right. Before UB becomes the "Engineering school of the East," concentrated efforts should be undertaken to keep this place a University a school comprised of excellentfaculty in various disciplines with freedom of choice for all. Of course, resourcesbave to be shifted to accomodate the growing demand for, shall we say, accountants; and we know resources can never be swung as fast as the demand pendulum; but that, in itself, does not absolve this University from its responsibility to faculties such as Arts and Letters. If the pendulum swings all the way, who's to say the resources will swing back when the demand does? Last week, we discussed how important the Attrition/Retention suggestions are for helping this University retain liberal arts students already enrolled. We also discussed the importance of calculating the trade-off that this University is going to be forced to make in its scamper a trade-off between quality students and quantity for enrollees enrollment figures. There is still more to be done. To what degree is this University going to publicize the quality of its liberal arts programs and faculty in an attempt to attract both graduates and undergraduates? A massive campaign designed to promote what we already know we have, yet are slowly destroying, seems the first logical step in keeping this place a University, not an engineering machine.. — — The Spectrum Vol. 30, No. 6 teillnlfl Jgfti by Daniel S. Parker j I enjoy reaching down into my gut, taking a deep breath, and screaming “Fuck” at the top of my lungs in-a crowded mall. I don't do it to be obnoxious. You see, I also enjoy offering a stiff “Good morning” to, and flashing a big grin at, the old man whom I pass on my way to school each morning, walking his poodle clad in a knitted red sweater. By shouting an obscenity in a bustling shopping center during the Friday afternoon rush, I am not trying to start a riot. I’m not trying to start anything. Most people respond with stem looks, crinkled eybrows and a few whisper to their spouses, probably about “that kid with the tom blue jeans who has lost his mind because of drugs.” If they only understood that I’m attempting to break the monotony, the doldrums, the mechanization of a routine Friday-aftemoon-at-the-mall. And for thirty seconds, 1 do, penetrating the shopping-bag barriers and window-shop faces. I am successful and then it fades. They return to their lists of errands, what store they can go to next, and what shoes are on sale and The problem is this in many ways, they expect a strange kid like me to interrupt their tranquility. You see, it would really be something if I was the owner of the shoe store and wearing a three-piece suit; if I returned their change with a denunciation of the old ladies who come in and can’t fit their little, fat feet into my slim, pointed shoes. Unfortunately, I don’t own the shoestore. When 1 offer “Good morning” to the old guy with the silly, red sweatered dog, it’s just as much an interruption of his daily mundane, ... ... - “take the-dog-out-for-a-shit” life as it is a violation of the shopp<;rs’ calm. The difference, mind you, is a significant one: man and dog welcome the intrusion partly because it’s unexpected, and partly, because it’s positive. - What makes the interruption really nice is that not many would expect that from the “kid with tom blue jeans.” But I’m not “probably on drugs.” In fact, it’s questionable if the droppers actually expect the interruption or if the blue jeans and drugs comprise the quickest rationale they can muster for my behavior. And I know that my behavior can be explained. Basically, I believe it is really worthwhile to throw a relatively harmless quirk into the system. Beyond the breaking of the day-to-day rut, I am opening a new avenue for thought, a new reason to escape, and a new opportunity to re-examine what is, what should be, and why. In the mall I am literally demanding a response. 1 am there, I am rude, and you know that everyone has heard me besides yourself. So you can’t just ignore the interruption. On the street, however, it is much easier to pretend that 1 was never there. No one else saw me, no one else cares, and no one is there for you to think that you should have to explain me to. You can block me out, wait for the dog to do his business and return home for a cup of coffee. v The point of all this is not to explain my schizophrenic behavior so that you’ll understand me when we meet next Friday in the mall. It’s a reminder that every once in a while, it is helpful to turn around, face the other direction, and consider something anything from a totally new perspective. It can only help to face left before deciding that you’re right. Friday, 13 July 1979 Editor-in-Chief Daniel S. Parker Associative JoaKfJiMarco Mark Meltter ....

I would like at this time to apologize to the university and to most of you reading and writing this newspaper. I have said many things in The Spectrum but I haven't always said it the right way. Thank you Rich, Brett, Danny for printing me. Thank you SUNYAB for showing me the power of media. We are one we are the sun she is the moon Mom is the earth And she is worth all the stars that shine above Come down and show your love We need them all to stop the play God never meant for us to save our world in this way OK! OK! you win but who’s alright and who’s in sin don’t understand? Well read it again! Oh SUNYAB could you let me slide just one more time let s dwell on the sublime you know me and I know you all too well Except for Mom all the rest can burn in hell so please think back - to my first two years when I had no fears and all was new when there were no by Joel Dinerstein A friend on mine strolled into my house chuckling yesterday afternoon. He produced a front page artide about a study which conluded that mother’s milk is generally better for a baby than any “formula.” Okay, so what else can ya show me? One of the miracles of modem science is that it has convinced us not to trust our own perceptions, much less instincts (instinct? what’s an instinct?). It almost seems as if we believe science instinctively, although we’d rather not (and go on smoking, drinking, etc.), and we don’t believe our own thoughts, although we’d really like to. Such is the reality of the twentieth century. Technology is presently our thunder and lightning divinity as Zeus once wat to the Greeks. And though there are certinly many other major gods to be contended with, nothing goes unless technology-be-willing, it seems. We believe what technology researches and subsequently broadcasts. The country listened to scientists tell us for years about the far-reaching addicting effects of anything from pot to acid before t there were even group-control experiments. Personal observations? Heh. For authors and shrinks. Science certainly has had plenty of help from television (and the media), another miracle which daily, hourly sends us visions of other lifestyles, other places, other worlds. I don’t want to make that sound like a bad thing; but, for instance, I honestly feel I know what it is like to live on a farm, say, or Mien I doubt if my to have lived in the 50s perceptions of these cultures comes close to what they really are. For example, if you have ever been present at an event (especially if it involved a controversial issue) and later, watched it covered on television, you may have seen a perception you did not expect. You could call this media manipulation, sure, but media is a fruit on the Tree of Technology. And we’ve been eating it for years. I’m not breaking any new ground here, I realize, but do not think that the intention of today’s column is to elaborate on the harmful effects of television and/or technology. Television can offer us an appraisal of our world at once in fictional and non-fictional terms, through a child’s eye and down an animal’s nose, from an obserer’s standpoint and - from a participant’s perspective. This does sound very good, and at its best, offers us a whole lot more than just entertainment. But regardless of what I or anyone else thinks of today’s television fare, television (and media) ideally can only show us; and to see something as an exhibit through another has to remove the reality of the person’s eyes situation a couple of notches. This does not mean the media should not try to show us these things. It is just that we should be able to realize that it is only an attempt to portray the reality of a situation. The old grain of salt theory. Let’s leave the rhetoric for a second and switch - — to imagery. . When a person stands in front of a mirror, what he (she) sees is not only a reflection of his appearance, but truly one kind of reflection of himself. An outer shell. But even bare naked, what you see in the mirror cannot accurately reflect what you feel like. You can usually say, “Yeah, that looks like me,” fix your hair, tug at your pants, and then go out. But if you stare long enough, the shell begins to brfak. And like that child’s toy, every time you find yourself at another level, every time you open up a new shell, there’s another one inside that is identical to the one in your hand, just a shade smaller. You keep opening and opening these shells until finally, you get to the little one, the one that doesn’t open, the one that is intact, the one with no more coverings. That’s rock-bottom; that’s you. That’s the event you were at. That’s what it’s like to live on a farm. That’s the 50s. We pass judgement on alternative realities though we honestly have no idea what they are like. Technology has led us far astray from the old Indian idea that “I will not criticize a man’s ways until I have walked a mile in his moccasins.” Here in the twentieth century, man often must view himself as a personified purgatory: not the image hi your gut (because we have almost see) and not entire!} wh; t you feel in your gut (because we have almost given up gut feelings). A third entity, a medium: one that grapples equally with the two what parallel worlds that shape our lives technology and the media show us on the one hand, and what we fee| instinctively and stands outside both. — — , there just was me and SUNYAB II Now it’s quite clear what the Rock hath done And it’s not right and it’s not fair But give another chance And I’ll help change SUNYAB to SUNY ONE Gilbert Lawrence �V «0 I raws 1 UNMASKING TESTING; The Truth-in-Testing bill, which has passed both houses Of the New York State Legislature, is awaiting a decision by Governor Hugh L.

Her long cartilaginous fingers curled around the emaciated upper limb of her escort masked behind shades. Oh yeah, she was undoubtedly a reasonable likeness of her master mold, all Debbie-Harry-cloned-out as she was. The only difference was she probably couldn’t sing if her whole clangorous collection of silver bracelets depended on it. Nor did she have a multi-G contract with Chrysalis Records like her 32 year-old idol-mentor who right then was probably fixing her hair backstage. Several minutes after the opening act The Reds wound up their set, the real Debbie Harry and the rest of Blondie ambled onto the large rhomboid stage of Kleinhans Music Hall. With her cerulean blue halter jumpsuit, elevated gold sandals and new haircut, she blew the pants and jewelry off her pedestrian facsimile sitting in the audience. Summer girl dances The'Bahd opened up' with some numbers from their latest and still popular LP, Parallel Lines, superbly whisking off “One Way Or Another” and "Hanging On The Telephone,” as the onetime Playboy attraction took center stage toeing synchro-nimbly to the constant synthesized beat. And, of course, there were the few puerile males in the audience who loudly implored, “Take it off.” So as to dispel any impression of prudish pretensions on my part, I must confess that those same libidinous disrobing fantasies entered my mind too. Gosh. At least the sentiments were echoed by one acquaintance who said there is no woman in the world he would rather dance with. And dance well Debbie did.

There is no punky fist clenching rebellion, no "tear down thfe establishment” raucousness to their music. Well, it is fluff, but I find much of their material, especially the unmistakable Fifties’ harmonies of songs like “Free Baby,” "I’m on E" and "Summer Girl,” totally irresistable. Certainly the cherub-faced, 12 yeaf-old dancing so unabashedly in the first row balcony aisle to the wistful amusement of those around him found Debbie and the boys enticing. Phantasmic idiom Blondie was tight For sound quality and accurate reproduction, they could have easily been off studio tracks. Sure the music is simple, but the musicianship was plain good. James Destri’s enchanting synthesizer meshed well with the clean sound of Chris Stein’s lead guitar; all overlaid by Harry’s soaring, >nellifluous vocals. And Debbie was delightfully teasing, prancing up to the front of the stage, crooning lyrical endearments to wide-eyed males in the front row, her hips gently undulating as if they were gliding on a well-oiled"ball bearing track. They, reserved “Heart of Glass” for the piece de resistance. As a spotlighted crystal ball revolved from the ceiling, showering the auditorium with swirling discs of light, a diaphanous glass cylinder descended onto the platform where Harry stood. Her curvaceous blonde splendor levitated into a zero gravity vortex of azure jelly plasticene which vanished into thin air as fantasy spilled into reality and my opening eyes. Okay, so I’m exaggerating. Gee, what some people will do to embellish a phantasmagoric idiom. Bang-a-gong Blondie came out for two encores after an hour long set, playing a real ''upbeat, rocking rendition of T-Rex’s "Bang A Gong.” Hey, remember them, the band that was supposed to be the most popular band in Europe during the Seventies? Blondie brought me to my feet by the end. To my eyes, the far from capacity crowd at Kleinhtms thoroughly enjoyed the show despite the obnoxious annoyance of being harassed by the Kleinhans security force, busy ejecting people for smoking joints, butts, or even worse, clicking their contraband 35 mm’s. One dude complained that the atmosphere was such a drag because of the security that he was inhibited from really boogying like he would have wanted. Too bad, Blondie would have wanted it too. �00 Former illustrator for The S 1 PO by Ralph Allen Tom Tales, former illustrator and graphic arts editor for The Spectrum, made his impression on me while I was researching an article on the artistic facet of this University's riot years. His illustrations, gnarled and convoluted visions of people and situations, reminded me of certain Spanish religious paintings. No matter the subject, there was always the sense of suffering in the pictures. Toles' graphics were a modern-day corollary of that omnipresent pain and suffering. It fitted and molded the notion of romantic anguish that some associate with the period. But the -Sixties passed, and Toles left The Spectrum. What, I wondered, does an artist like Toles do with that style and sentiment now? "Actually, while I was at The Spectrum, I was very good at twisted bodies and limbs I did some real ugly things but basically, I did them because that’s what I was good at. Some of my other types of drawings were real bad," answered the artist. In 1973, Toles graduated from UB with a major in English and landed a job at the Courier-Express, horrific style and all. Hi remembers: "I felt 1 couldn't get away with just drawing the stuff I was drawing, so when I came to the Courier I felt forced to learn here." Toles compares his work's development from The Spectrum to the Courier as a circle, 360 degrees ... representing that ideal perfeci an illustrator; "I think I've im to 300 degrees." As the graphic design dire has made about 2000 illustral estimated 500 for The Spectru a good place to do things, Courier, I've learned more thoi His style has quieted accompanied by a refinement "You've got to consider the for," he says about the evolu Courier doesn't need demons. i > Toi»s PEN AND PAPER: One difference between the old-Toles and the new is his shift in the things he tends Jo Illustrate. Two illustrations from-Toles' days at 'The Spectrum' (a fine art graphic, above, and a graphic for an article on drug addiction, extreme right) contrast against his later work. Left, is a 'Courier-Express’ illustration for an article on a Buffalo Triangle, like the triangle of Bermuda fame. Above left, is an editorial graphic depicting the fall of Idi Amin Dada, and to the right is a caricature of Menachem Begin. Most of Toles' earlier drawings show human forms lacking facial detail, not the pristine pod forms in 'Invasion of the Body Snatchers,' whereas his later work has exaggerated but believable . detail. x i'V \ �f r The Spectrum' makes good while making art representing that ideal perfection and versatility for an illustrator; "I think I've improved from 5 degrees to 300 degrees." As the graphic design director at the Courier, he has made about 2000 illustrations as opposed to an estimated 500 for The Spectrum. "The Spectrum was to the a good place to do things, since Courier, I've learned more though," he asserts. His style has quieted down considerably, accompanied by a refinement of line ajid technique. "You've got to consider the market you're drawing for," he says about the evolution of his style, "The Courier doesn't need demons." Cooking at his latest drawings, it definitely seems as though the demons have been exorcised. But the conversion hasn't been complete, however. "Whereas I can't be grotesque here, t can have an undercurrent of grotesquity in my work," Toles relates. Look hard, perhaps you can see it. He feels that the hardest thing about his development as an illustrator has been separating his style from that of those whom he admired. "I tike David Levine [see charicature of Menachem Begin] but deliberately tried not to imitate him." His early inspiration came from Renaissance painters and sculptors, not the comic books, which so many other illustrators owe their awakening to. Toles finds drawing physically and mentally tiring, subsequently choosing to do little free-lance work while at the Courier. He is working however, on illustrating two books, one of which is a humorous medical treatment of bowels. Toles is a tall, lanky fellow with a full beard and a mane of blond hair. He is retiring, preferring to draw than to talk. While he wears ties, his feet ere in Adidas. It's pretty apparent that Toles has carved out his own niche at the Courier.

If you feel like 7a woman (I sometimes do) and if you feel like a black (I sometimes do) and when you want to possess the idea of secret arrogance, Jones, a white woman, lets you. Here’s how she came upon me; I was going to quit pop music writing. Other fields like TV, theater and dance interested me and I was wide-eyed. I was like a hungry kid who turns over a bike and says it’s a popcorn machine.

That’s why you can believe Jeff Simon in Chances are others feel the same way. —Ross Chapman the News when he that "Rickie Lee Jones is , one of the great bad girls,” or Stephen Holden in the Voice when he says that she "ispotentially one of the greatest singer/songwriters in rock’s neo-beat tradition” or Jay Cocks in Time when he says that Jones is “too tender to pass completely for the street-wise character she likes to play in her songs.” The folks who have written about her think Jones is an amalgam of the best in New York and LA and the Mid-West. (Now I know you shouldn’t use "amalgam” when you talk about a person but they’ve so defined her possibilities that she becomes little more than a compound in print) And it seems most critics think that there’s some great transcendental ideal in the. fusion of a transient Jones yielding a fusion of music, yielding music of the '80’s. But all it takes is perception. She’s perceptive without thinking of the future which is not intuition but instinct sharpened by quick experience. It’s the same feeling Patti Smith transmitted on Horses, the same feeling of lonely inversion Joni Mitchell permits us to hear, the same smooth comedy Nilsson described when he was drunk. What those singers lack right now is a true feeling for past history which can bring the depth characteristic of a bpok of fiction to musical lyrics. Here I’m not talking just about a narrator. Rather, I’m pointing out that Jones writes songs like a narrator describes characters in* a soliloquy. "Chuck E.’s In Love,” “Coolsville,” and “Danny’s All-Star Joint” eloquently tell of young love and fjriends; at Jones’ best, they talk about friends as young loves. These songs have a beatnik tone, a very recent and faddish tone, but describe ephemerality ( in a way that lasts, Rickie Lee Jones might well be classic, classic in a vein that might be aside from pop culture and have its roots in literature. And although you can predict when her voice will go high and when it will go low and sortietimes even when it will change behind pretty jazz chords, no one can predict what the yvords will be, even the pseudo-rhymes at the end of lines. And if you let her voice envelop the lyrics, the lyrics always change, even when the tune remains the same. # U/B Artpark Dance Festival presented by Office of Cultural Affairs 3 major dance companies from the 1979 Artpark sesason on U/B campus July 31 through August 10 1.

Seabird Band is a country-rock group from Norfolk, Virginia. On this, their first album, they serve.up a pleasant slice of country pie. In their more vigorous moments, they can be reminiscent of latter-day Allman Bros, and other Southern twin guitar bands. It’s the tension between this style and the more laid-back Southern Cal approach that fuels much of the album. The songs are pretty standard but are nicely spruced up by amiable harmonies and, particularly, Guy Burlage’s slide and pedal steel guitars.

The ad wasn’t blatantly only blatantly sexist, commercial.” Rowe feels that approaches to advertising should not be dictated by a woman’s sensitivities. Lowe argues that feminists are carrying the notion of equality in to advertising an “absurd extreme,” claiming that their energies would be better spent on an issue of “more consequence.” * ' - Barefoot and pregnant? Feminists riled by ‘sexist’ urge advertisers to clean up act Feature Editor Recently, advertising an billboard on Main Street displayed a more-than-lifesize picture of a buxom young blonde fondling a package of Old Gold cigarettes while clad in a tight-fitting T-shirt reading “Be an OG.” The sexist approach of this ad was both unmistakable and irresistable, enough so to have prompted the scrawling of the word “sexist” across the image of that tight fitting T-shirt. This illustrates why women have objected to their image in media advertising as ninnies, sex objects and breeders of children. Feminists charge that most print ads and commercials portray women according to one of four stereotypes women’s place is in the home; women do not make important decisions or do important things; women are dependent and need male protection; or most predominantly, men regard women as sex objects. “If not downright offensive, the roles of women in these ads are considered by many women to be at least unflattering,” said spokesperson for the National Organization of Women (NOW), Cathy Rauch. - Barefoot and pregnant In an 6ff-the-cuff remark, a United Nations official told the Advertising Women of New York that, judging from the ad*, it seemed nothing could be sol# Without some feminine nuditjt .fi suggestion of in NOW has ««*«Wf*ed a Snrefoof t Pregnant Award of die Week for Advertising P'egrading to Women. Another tactic employed by NOW has been to cut out offensive advertisements and mail them to the manufacturers affixed with a sticker reading ‘This ad msulu women.” V organization sex. awards* inception, many nationally based companies have received the dubious distinction. One of the winners was Iberian Airlines for its ad headlined “This nice Blonde will romance you all the way to Spain.” Some of the other winners (see photo) include Continental Airline’s “We really move our tail for you,” a Black Velvet whiskey ad featuring a woman in low-cut velvet, and National Airlines’ famous “I’m Cheryl.. .Fly Me” campaign. Another response to such so-called sexist ads has taken the fonn of several studies of advertising such as the one done by the Ontario Status of Women Council entitled “About Face: Toward a Positive Image of Women in Advertising.” This study documented the resentment many women felt at their mindless, perception of a dirt-obsessed and passive image fostered by advertisers. “Are women so childlike that they can’t feed the dog or buy a garbage bag without a man’s help even the lunatic man from Glad?” asked former Council head Laura Sabia. “Is sex such a big part of selling that a woman’s is .cleavage needed to tout cigarettes? Well then, picture a man with his fly open to boost female smoking,” she countered. — Basidy sexist Sabia, the to cigarette Slims ad (“You’ve come a long way baby”) was a print breakthrough ip showing women as independent persons. “But the obscenely sexist approach still takes form in many other ads. Razors are still sold in the old sexist way, though we’ve gone from taking it all off to being stroked in the morning.” According Virginia y Restaurant 47 Kenmore in University Plaza 838-4500 Public mirror Is the advertising community to be held responsible for the image inferior of women perpetuated in'ads? The standard argument heard in the corridors of many agencies is that advertising reflects society but does not shape it. “Our society today is preoccupied thoughts of sex, and advertising is merely a mirror to many of these public tendencies.

A minor discipline affords a student the chance to concentrate on a discipline, outside of his chosen major. “If that happens within two or three years, we’ll be in good shape,” he said. A degree with a minor discipline included is a favorite topic pf Dean of Continuing Education James Blackhurst, who sees them as a great way for job-minded students to get their training while delving into another area. Blackhurst said students haverf’t paid enough attention to free and that electives reinstituting the minor requirement could change that situation. But General Ed will preclude free electives for many students, and opponents of the minor requirement claim that it could actually hinder diversity by encouraging increased concentration of courses. Still, Carrithers noted, “We think there might be'a real good chance (for minors).” So Arts and Letters stands at a crossroads will things improve or will the Faculty wither away until, as some fear, UB becomes primarily a professional school? Levine is not hopeful. Even if Engineering enrollments, for example, were to decline in future years, he does not think resources would be shifted back to his — Faculty. “I have no faith whatsoever.

The sidewalk and light pole don’t bother me, but the'drop-off does.” VV.**The danger has always bothered Director of Re&eation and Intramural Athletics Bill Monkarsh. “Starting in the fall, we’re not going to use that field anymore,” Monkarsh said. Monkarsh blamed the need for the use of Baird Field on the lack of playable fields on the Main Street Campus. The predicament was further complicated this summer when the Rotary Field diamonds were locked up after vandals manhandled the goal posts on the football %,|P . ' field. A possible cure for the remainder of the slimmer would be to construct a fence in left field to keep people away from moving vehicles.

Changes in attitude Housing Assistant Director and committee I member William Conroy explained that since many people on the committee felt everyone would have a different set of priorities “we finally agreed to give the recommendations all equal weight.” Student representative and committee co-chairperson Dana Cowan pointed out that many of the recommendations that can be readily implemented “speak for themselves, while others, if implemented with a great deal of thought and effort, could prove quite effective.” “However, Ketter’s comments paralleled Carver’s and he called on Vice President Siggelkow to prioritize the recommendations in time for the July 23 Deans’ Council meeting. The President said, “I believe some priority ranking of the recommendations is needed,as well as an identification of a time frame which various in recommendations might be acted upon.” In the meantime, another committee is already examining implementing some of the suggestions. This committee has received $25,000 from the Faculty Student Association (FSA) a result of the corporation’s sale of its Bookstore inventory to apply to retention solutions. Siggelkow, who termed this “seed money,” pointed out that many of the recommendations do not involve significant fiscal expenditures and are changes in attitude.

The numbers, which show only three percent of incoming students have selected a major Within Arts and Letters, have polarized administrators and left the University stumbling toward an uncertain future. At one end is Vice President for Health Sciences F. Carter Pannill one of the University’s seven VP’s whose program has benefitted from “the enormous polarity” of the Health-related professions nationwide. While Pannill admits that UB could lose students if certain popular programs cannot meet the demand, he is “not concerned” about the freshman figures. But Dean of the Faculty of Arts and Letters George Levine is deeply troubled by the prospects of continued low enrollment in the humanities because low enrollment means, inevitably, budget cuts for his beleagured Faculty. A frustrated Levine admitted, “I’ve been expected to sit passively by and wait for the ax to fall.” - - Can’t switch However, there is some potential for an increase in Arts and Letters majors. While 50 percent of the freshmen have opted for the professional areas, 28 percent remain undecided. One administrator predicted that many of those students will choose the currently less-desired majors. “If you want to major in Engineering, Health Sciences or Management, you generally know right away,” he said. disturbing, the The enrollment figures are cannot faculty Spectrum The because told administrator to freely move from low-demand departments high-demand departments. “A person who knows how to teach English can’t go over and teach Engineering,” he said. And, he added, since Faculty to student ratios are , Abbott gets new residents— P. 6 / fixed, “You can’t stuff more students into Management without raising the number of faculty or you lose your accreditation.” Director of Admissions and Records Richard Dremuk, while “troubled” by the imbalance here between professional and traditional (Arts and Sciences) students, cautioned that shifts in the job market could reverse the current trend in as little as two years, although he by no means forecasts a reversal. “You don’t hire faculty for a year or two,” lie noted. Indeed, about ten years ago the scene was much different. Engineers were not highly in demand then, partly due to a decline in government need for aerospace engineers. But the computer age created a tremendous need for engineers and many students seek this pot of gold. They know According to. Director of Academic Advisement Marylou Healey, students now are more sensitive to the job markefthan they were years ago. They come from college-educated parents, and they “know immediately” when a field becomes saturated with graduates. Will Engineering, for one, become saturated in the near future? “Engineering is reaching its peak right now in my estimate, in terms of demand,” she said. But Dean of Engineering George Lee doesn’t think the demand is close to decreasing. “I think it’s going to go on for a few years. 1 don’t see the end,” he said. Lee noted that the engineering job market could become saturated eventually, but only if the schools produce graduates at an even faster rate than the openings develop. Assistant Vice President for Academic Affairs Pierre Hart pointed out that many of the roughly 1200 students that had paid their deposits as of June 14 and chosen “vocationally oriented majors” will not graduate in the field they initially selected. In fact, as many as 45 percent may switch majors after two years, Arts and Letters Dean Levine noted. Hart thinks the situation will reverse itself when the ‘Moonraker’ wanes—P. 7 / Stage /—P. 8 / Richard DramuK of Admissions and Racordt Job trends may shift within two years job market tells students that liberal arts is okay again and the pendulum swings the other way.

It is called attrition, and the numbers used to measure it are often confusing or misleading. One way to measure attrition is to count the number of students arriving directly from high school, recount the number graduating.four years later, and assume that the difference is the number of students who “dropped out.” Students who transfer, even if they obtained their degree at another school, would be counted among those who dropped out. Associate Director in the Office of Admissions and Records Peter Wittemann pointed out that many students who leave UB go to another school in the SUNY system. The “overriding philosophy,” he saitf, should be to examine the number of students in the system as a whole, notin terms of individual institutions. Wittemann said that UB appears to have the most severe attrition problem in the SUNY system, but that is mainly because UB has the highest enrollment. “The percentages are similar (at all SUNY units), but the numbers vary,” he said. In terms of percentages, he said, estimates range from 42 to 50 percent of the UB students fail to obtain a degree. However, Wittemann .noted, since there are so many diverse backgrounds, some students are bound to leave the University. Perhaps, he suggested, as many as 14 percent. Also, not all students take four years to complete a degree. Some'will extend iheir undergraduate years to five, either because they were not always full-time students or they did not complete degree requirements. Some students take a year or so off, or “stop-out.” However, Wittemann said, SUNY Central bases attrition figures on an eight semester scale and doesn’t often take account of exceptions to the four year norm. — — — — However, a bill recently passed New York the State. by Legislature and awaiting Governor Hugh Carey’s signature, would eliminate such distinctions as age, sex and marital status which are unrelated to driver performance but currently used in determining insurance rates. “This bill presents itself as a fantastic money saver for college students,” asserts Arte Malkin, a New York Public Interest Group (NYPIRG) spokesman. “The bill currently sitting on Governor Carey’s desk is a watered-down version of Representative endeavor original Nicholosi’s modelled after a bill passed in North Carolina which drastically reduced rates for liability coverage for young drivers,” explained John Sullivan, former head of NYPIRG’s Auto Insurance Center ip Buffalo. Compromises forged A letter Sullivan received from North Carolina’s Commissioner of Insurance, John Ingus, states that insurance companies in New York State had organized a $5 million campaign to kill the Nicholosi bill. “The result was a compromise in which prices from comprehensive insurance for single young males is made more competitive with rates of drivers in other age brackets,” Sullivan said. Yet comprehensive insurance remains an optional coverage in New York while the mandatory liability coverage the major insurance expense for remains out of young drivers proportion to similar coverage for clivers of different age groups. with the bill’s “Even shortcomings, we’re on the road to reducing young people’s insurance rates nonetheless. Next year, we’ll go after the rest of it,” Sullivan asserted.

One bill, passed by Congress in 1977, implemented automatic crash protection standards to protect front seat passengers in an automobile. “The bill set a target date of 1982 and subsequent years for the phasing in of air cusions and automatic safety belts as standard safety equipment on new automobiles,” said Ron Markus of the National Committee for Auto Crash Protection. New coalition Markus claims that recent polls indicate that a vast majority of drivers favor a more intensive auto crash protection policy. He also said that a large coalition of labor, insurance, and consumer groups, as well as various safety experts and medical emergency teams, have offered support for the bill. “Neither the insurance companies nor the consumer benefit from the 50,000 annual automobile deaths. Consequently, much of the strength of this proposal comes from the matched interests of these two concerns,” added Markus. Although the new 1980’s safety guidelines are now law, neither the Department of Transportation (DOT) nor the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration have been allocated the necessary funds to implement the new standards. “Influence from the automobile has prompted industry the initiation of several proposed amendments to the new law to weaken the DOT’s power to BUY ONE, QUARTER POUNDER WITH CHEESE SANDWICH M Session is approximately one hour lon£, at year by Pennsylvania Bud Shuster Congressman stipulated that no Federal money be used to enforce or implement any form of auto safety other than conventional seat belts for r the 1978 fiscal year. This year, an amendment introduced by Congressman John Dingle of Michigan (home state of the Motor City, Detroit) proposes to similarly restrict these agencies in the enforcement of the new safety regulations. Grave doubts Alert, Consumer an organization formed by the automobile industry to handle its public relations, opposes the new regulations on the basis of freedom of choice. “Primarily, we have grave doubts about the system itself. Several of the manufacturers have quoted prices in excess of $500 for the new safety features the effects of which haven’t been proven to our satisfaction. We’re talking about an awful lot of money for a system that just may save your life,” said Consumer Alert spokesperson Barbara Keating. — The debate over the new auto safety Standards is expected to come to a full boil shortly after Congress reconvenes after July 4. “What we’re hoping to see is timely implementation of these new safety standards with no damaging amendments tacked on that might delay or inhibit the new for these funding regulations,” said Karpinsky.

'The University-wide study group on Attrition/Retention." "Whadayewent?" "We want to stop the outflux of students from this University. You know, make it a better place to go to school, create a 'sense community' around this place, help keep students here until they've finished their degree requirements ..." "But that's a problem afflicting higher education across the nation Why do you want to solve it at UB7" "Good question. You see, UB's budget is based largely on enrollment and we all know that everyone is scampering for enrollees. We have to keep students once they decide to come here, becuase in the future there may be fewer students who want to come here. Futhermore, more and more students -who do come here are interested in majoring in Engineering, Management, and Health Sciences. Thus, if we want to keep other disciplines strong namely, the Humanities then we're going to have to retain a higher percentage of students than we do." "You mean this is just a cheap ploy to build up certain disciplines that are having trouble attracting majors?" "Nope, way off. The 101 recommendations of the Attrition/Retention group are designed to cross all boundaries. Certainly, the effects will be felt by programs that are having trouble attracting students, but the whole idea is to generally improve student life here a more far-reaching goal. This could mean that many of the students who are jockeying for a few spots in competitive fields might wantto stay here anyway, even if they aren't accepted as an accountant or occupational to Student Association Dear Mr. Mayersohn: Our office has seldom received a letter offering assistance or expressing chagrin over the composition of the University’s employee and student populations; therefore, it was encouraging to leam, from yours dated June 15, that you experienced a sense of outrage over affirmative action within the University, in spite of the difficulty 1 had attempting to determine the source of your “observations. While 1 do not know the intentions of the publishers of the Table, “Distribution of SUNYAB Tenured Faculty be Sex and Race Across Faculty Rank and Salary Range, Fall 1978,” found in the June 14 Reporter, to which you referred, it did appear to have the constructive effect of arousing you to air your opinions on affirmative action at UB. I feel that as more concerned about affirmative action results, UB will soon have the internal impetus to become a model of meaningful opportunities for all people, at all levels on stltutional engagement. I suspect that you would not have taken the pains to contact me and to make your sentiments public had it not been due to a strong belief that affirmative action results can be positively related to the quality of education and service the University offers; consequently, I hope that we can get together to pursue this matter more fully, especially in terms of student involvement and particiaption. To this end I shall be getting in touch with you. Sincerely, Jesse E. Nash, Jr. Assistant Vice President for Affirmative Action and Human Resources Development — — — therapist." "Okay, so I understand that this is a plan designed to have a broad impact, but how are you going to make this University more attractive?" "Another good question. We propose lotsa different things, ranging from heating bus shelters and building a Student Union on the Amherst Campus, to evaluating the quality of instruction here and making sure that this factor is examined when a faculty member is up for promotion or tenure." "This sounds like good stuff, so when are you going to start?" "Well, that's another problem. You see, the committee has proposed 101 ways to make UB better, but we didn't suggest which of those recommendations are more important than the others. In other words, there is no priority ranking. We also didn't establish a timetable for implementation, so it's hard to judge which of the suggestions are practical, which cost lots of money, which ones should be started now and which ones require more planning. We also didn't really figure out a way in which we're going to ally ourselves with all the different campus constituencies and it's going to take a University-wide effort to improve the University." "So, why should the University let you in?" "Well, we have good intentions and we propose a lot of creative, intelligent, carefully-considered solutions. In essence, you need us." "Okay, UB will let you in, but you guys should really reconvene your committee, meet with various constituencies, gather feedback, consolidate your suggestions, prioritize them, and establish a timetable for implementation. Also, wipe your feet." — * * * j * * They're not knocking down the doors to come here and University President Robert L. Ketter knows that. That's why he authorized the Attrition/Retention Study Group and that's why he wants substantive policy more than 101 suggestions. That's why he asked for a "time frame in which various recommenations might be acted upon." Without this information, the group's findings and suggestions become useless they become just another committee's arguable recommendations, bound to wallow outside the University's door. The speed with which these recommenations are acted upon is imperative to their success. The longer they rest on the doormat, the longer the University suffers, and the sooner our attrition figures surge higher and higher.

Abbott, formerly called Lockwood on Main, is the Division of opening its doors to new residents — Continuing Education. Health Sciences unhappy Continuing Ed moves to Abbott occupant of Abbott. Moore suggested that several by Bonnie Gould Contributing Editor For over a year now, since Lockwood Library moved to the Amherst Campus, the neoclassical building on the Main Street Campus renamed Abbott has lain dormant, empty of tenants. Beginning this week, however, the Division of Continuing Education (DCE) will take up temporary residence in Abbott. While Division of Continuing Education Dean James R. Blackhurst sings praises of Abbott, less happy are those connected with the Health Sciences Library who fear that Abbott may become their permanent home. Those associated with Health Sciences would like to see a new building. The campaign to move DCE to Abbott was initiated last Fall by Blackhurst. DCE, which is comprised of seven departments, was spread across two campuses and four separate locations. Although a move to the Amherst Campus was anticipated in three to four years, Blackhurst views the temporary shift as a good opportunity to consolidate the fragmented division and establish a visible point of reference for non-traditional studies* After authorization was granted, minor renovations made the former library suitable as a temporary home. Almost as bad Meanwhile, the fate of the Health Sciences Library remains uncertain. The library which is presently located in Stockton-Kimball Tower on thhe Main Street Campus suffers from overcrowding and woefully inadequate facilities. According to Facilities Planning Construction Associate Dwane D. Moore, the Health Science Library is currently slated to become the permanent thousand dollars for renovation and construction of an annex would make the building suitable. However, Director of Health Science Library (HSL) C.K. Huang claims that a move to Abbott would be almost as bad as remaining in HSL’s present facilities. Huang claims renovation would be too costly and still result in inadequate space. Huang has submitted a plan to the University calling for construction of a new building. noise, of excessive complain Students temperature fluctuations and unavailability of study space at the current Health Science Library. “During finals you can’t even get a seat, and during the semester students study elbow to elbow” griped one Nursing student Evelyn Navarro. <- Deserve better According to Huang, HSL currently occupies 40,000 square feet. A 1975 national study in the Bulletin of Medical Library Science cited 75,000 square feet as the minimum adequate space for a library of UB’s stature, according to Huang. UB’s Health Sciences faculty is one of the twenty largest in the country and thus the space in Kimball falls by almost 50 percent short of what the study deemed necessary. The library which has approximately 200,000 volumes, must currently keep 27,000 of these in storage in Abbott due to space shortages said Director of University Libraries Sakidas Roy. Until final arrangements are reached, which Roy says will not occur for three to four years, the only provision to correct the inadequate facilities will be to increase Abbott storage space for more HSL books. “We’ll just have to live with it,” said Roy. “Students deserve a better library,” remarked tyuang. “This one is substandard.” - — < LADIES & GENTLEMEN Horn money while attending school this summer Somerset Laboratories, Inc. previously had plasmapheresis programs available for Group B persons only.

This erosion of his bravado seems to have affected him adversely. Can you imagine him, after having sent a bad guy flying through a glass clock face and crashing into a piano, snickering, "Play it again, Sam?” There is nothing left to do after a line like that except groan which the audience did. His self-effacing humor seems to affect even his resitency to danger. James Bond is beginning to operate more and more like Batman. And this simply will not do. The James Bond of You Only Live Twice or Thunderbird was a man extricating himself with sheer skill from what seemed to us impossible situations. The new Bond prefers to open his watch up and blast his way out instead of stretching the limits of his ingenuity. Where is the cleverness that 007 so magnificently typified? With all his specialized accouterments the new Bond probably has to strip everytime he goes past a metal dectector. Unless, of .course, he happens to be packing a metal dectors jamming device. by Ralph Allen “My name is Bond. .. James Bond. " —Sean Connery To see a james Bond film is to enter a contract where you promise to temporarily suspend your sense of reality in return for an irresistable yarn. Moonraker, the latest in the Bond series, exploits every clause of this contract but fails to deliver its promised yarn. Poor Mr. Bond; chalk up his demise to rising expectations. Some-viewers take their Bond seriously. So when a self-satirizing Roger Moore is united with the wan dialogue of Moonraker, there is bound to be some who are dissatisfied with the final product In the Moonraker, Bond traces a mysteriously hijacked space shuttle, travelling throughout the world and into space to find it. In other words, standard Bond fare. The Bond formula, as one writer observed, is as stylized as a Japanese Noh play. There is, for example, the element of the awe-inspiring stunt that precedes the picture's credits and theme song. In The Spy Who Loved Me, Bond skis off the edge of a snow cliff and, in what is one of the most suspenseful sequences ever filmed, manages to prepare a soft landing for himself. Yes, the mothod was ludicrous, but remember the contract never allow reality to intrude upon the film’s credibility. What this sequence does, and does most successfully, is weld our hearts to Bond’s tribulations. We want to see him survive certain demise, but we don’t see how he will. In Moonrakers, the opening stunt is at least equal to its predecessor in terms of ingenuity, but the alfessential weld is not complete. The sense that the whole stunt sequence was played for the joke of it undermines the basic Bond demeanor of a cool man in, so to speak, boiling water. — Castoffs and cheapo sneakers While Bond is having his problems, the film is having its. Costing about $25 million, Moonroker still looks second-rate. The armies of arch fiend, Drax, seems to be outfitted in Lost in Space castoffs and Bells $2.88 cheapo sneakers. Though I don’t expect a Bond picture to compare with Star Wars or 2001 in terms of special effects and set design, the crudity of the space scenes was disappointing, especially when you have an audience accustomed to sophisticated depictions of outer space. Bond pictures, like the Planet of the Apes or thePink Panther series, have a loyal audience who see every film in the series. Over a billion people have seen Bond that’s a pretty big following. For Bond fans, though, this film will flick in and out of their minds they way the film flickers on and off movie screens the — country over. “We’re out to make entertainment,” producer Albert Broccoli stated in a recent interview. That Moonraker does. However, it would have been nice if it had advanced the Bond legacy, if only a little, while entertaining us. — A chilly liberation Lois Childes, the latest femme fetale to join Bond, is touted by the director of the film as the liberated Bond woman: please, spare us. Yes, I agree she doesn’t fling herself immediately at Bond’s crotch like her earlier counterparts, but with a name like Holly Goodhead can she really be that far ahead of, say, Pussy Galore? All that Miss Goodhead is liberated from is the warmth without which beauty is cold. James Bond is becoming an embarrassment to the mystique of macho men. Why even Moneypenney, the secretary who intercepts Bond before his briefing seems to mock him, smirking in disbelief as he relates his latest brush with death. In the old days, Moneypenny would swoon just to have Bond brush by Poetry Festival warms summer Accomplished poets visit UB The 1979 UB Summer Poetry Festival will continue Max Wickert will be held.

Jdnes and his Interns operate in Stage 1 Saturday evening had none of the trappings one might expect watching Boston’s 8. leading rock unit in a 400 seat, capacity crowd only, club. | I Instead, witnessing Aerosmith’s alter-ego perform exclusively in the Clarence nite-club was both comfortably crowded and instantly magical; a band that would play to thousands (at an outdoor festival in Toronto) a few days later could appreciate the energy exchange which occurs through intimacy. It was this whole Stones/EI Mocambo thing that was projected when Harvey and Corky invested in the club originally. CuXuffiriq 999, Stage 1, June 22, 1979 "They say that the kids down here in America don’t want to hear our kind of music, well, let’s prove ’em wrong!” And prove they did. 999, a new English band, turned in a high intensity Kavja The progress of Stage 1 has been steady. Under the guidance of Rich Saltus, the club rapidly expanded into a showplace for approximately four national acts per week. The entertainment ranges from the latest pop bands to the best (and obscured) of the New Wave invasion to stellar performances by the likes of fusion giant John McLaughlin. A club like Stage 1 provides alternatives to both performers and audiences, enabling artists that could not fill halls to reach the fans that consistently wade outside the mainstream. Otherwise, acts like The Police, Joe Jackson, Graham Parker, Tom Robinson, Steve Forbert, Penetration or The Damned would simply remain unseen acts, only read about in forgotten trade papers in some unknown city. At times, in conjunction with local radio stations or various record companies, the performers are brought here to play low budget concerts. Many fans were able to catch Robben Ford, Jan Hammer and Tonio K. for under two bucks. The recurrent key here is intimacy. If a fan is going to a Club that promotes mainly rock artists to be motivated, there should be little complaining about the ideal field of vision and sufficient seating capacity. Stage 1, by no means, offers the idealism of the El Mocambo, that is, a seat fpr every person seeing the show. However, if you’ve ever experienced the dancing njania of say, a Robert Gordon performance, or if you simply understand the primal movement that has gone hand-in-hand with rock ’n roll for years, the complaints are no longer valid. And surely the neo-barbarianism that pervaded the recent Damned show (and you had best believe that the fans there DID enjoy themselves) could NEVER have occurred at the El Mocambo. For what it’s worth .another alternative. At some of the more recent gigs there (especially when local bands are playing) players from the Charlie Daniels Band (including ’ol Charlie), UFO and the Allman Brothers hopped up onstage to excite the crowds and turn in some decent impromptu jamming. At the Joe" Jackson show, members of Supertramp filtered among the crowd. The point here, without being repetitive, is that this city has gone too long on the premise that “It can’t happen here." And while many may not look upon the recent appearance of Aerosmith here as major, you had better believe that for once people will be reading about the thing* in Buffalo rather than the people in Buffalo engaging in pipe —Tim Swlta/a dreaming. - - .. performance- to win over a new following at Stage 1. In a style reminiscent of The'liamones and The Clash, they delivered about an hour’s worth of straight-forward three-chord rock with perfect timing, which is exactly what it takes to make this kind of music work. 999’s two guitarists held much of the audience’s attention by stalking and leaping across the stage. Their set ended with the fans’ most popular request, "Homicide.” When 999 returned for an encore, the crowd was in such a frenzy that they rushed onto the stage, pogoing with the band to the finish. —Mark Wegryn Stephen Stills, Kleinhans Music Hall, June 27, 1979 Had Stephen Stills marched on stage to the tune of one of his dynamic old songs, “Changing Partners,” the completion of his appearance at Kleinhans would have been a little easier to swallow. Instead, Stills jumped right into his "new stuff’ without any warning, ruining the hopes of the capacity audience who came to hear music of the ’60’s at the West Side theater. Stills has changed partners, and unfortunately, the shift is for the worse. The last time he graced a stage in Buffalo, Stills was accompanied by two reputable artists, David Crosby and Graham Nash names worth remembering. The “crew” that showed up (not worth remembering) did nothing to complement Stills’ wailing voice and classic "boogie” guitar.

Or at least that was the belief running the musical grapevine, and the skeptics. However, many of us were quickly convinced by the attendants, at all posted entrances, barring entry to even the lot without a ticket.

Ever since the release of The Warriors, there has been circulating the strange and erroneous notion that Arthur Hiller is an auteur ready for investiture into the pantheon of great American directors. His advocates point to such films as The Out-of-Towners, The Hospital, The Man In The Glass Booth, and Silver Streak. But let it not be forgotten that he has also directed such bombs as Tobruk, Popi, Love Story, W.C. Fields and Me, and now, Nightwing. In each of these films, Hiller’s direction is at best competent, at worst inappropriate, but always and derivative. unimaginative What makes a Hiller film good is that it fcv-not a Hiller film: the merit of his good films is supplied Open 6 days a week. Cal Now For Rosorvatiens 457-9680 subjects us to poor imitations of Hitchcock’s The Birds, the subjective tracking shots of jaws and assorted other shots pilfered from Kubrick' and others. Here, Hiller’s camera is slippery. It slides around, cranes up and down for no good reason perhaps Hiller was trying to keep awake. - Funnier than fear And this could indeed be the answer. There is nothing to do between giggles in Nightwing but sleep. The script, written by a gaggle of writers including Steve Shagan (who a Buffalo Evening News critic described as “the Beverly Hills Polo Lounge version of Arthur Miller"), is the vacuum of a yawn, a boring drawn-out melange of Indian mysticism, and cops’n’robbers, gore, romantic interest (or disinterest as the case may be, and, in fact, is). The film attempts to entertain us by terrifying us but fails and is entertaining only in its outbursts of absurdity— Much of this absurdity centers on the character.Paine, who is a vampire bat exterminator and who is played by David Warner (an actor for whom I have developed some respect after his performances in The Cross of • Sandpapered postcards Paine informs us in the course of the film that vampire bats attack in huge numbers, have teeth that can cut to the bone, gorge themselves on three times their own weight in blood, completely drain their victims, "piss pure amonia,” frequently are and savage humans, of for the destruction responsible the Aztec and Mayan civilizations. (I might add to this that vampire bats are also responsible for hair the outbreak of the loss, Franco-Prussian War, and are linked to the disappearance of Amelia Eatheart in the 1930’s.) Furthermore, we learn that humans die “in three seconds" in ammonia, that ammonia is highly flammable, and that shale oil rocks easily catch fire. These and other amusing idiocies lend smirks, guffaws, and hoots to an otherwise soporific affair. Besides the severe retardation of the plot, which includes some occultish nonsense about an ancient medicine man who can end the world with a sandpainting in order to rid his tribe of the white man and his forked tongue, Nightwing abuses us with bad acting (featuring such zombies as Mancuso) and grainy, Nick cinematography uninventive giving the film the look of sandpapered postcards. All things considered, Arthur Hiller, like in his best films, is, in Nightwing, well atuned to his subject matter.

The reader, on the other hand, must trust his own sense of poetic judgement and skill at distinguishing his own confusion over the work from an author’s blurred vision. He can’t know just how significant “muddy strawberries” were to the poet’s painful adolescence; he can’t call him on the phone and ask: “What did you mean by...” Nor is the poet likely to drop by with an explanation. Both must be satisfied that the poems, as an interface, are the best they can be, that they speak for themselves, and that their vision avoids undue conceit. Many of the poems in poet Norman Dubie’s most recent collection, The City of the Olesha Fruit, address themselves to this dilemma. Considered in their meta-poetic aspects (that is, poems about poets and about poets writing poetry), the author becomes the shaper of the reader’s vision. The reader is placed in the position of trusting the poet’s eyes to see the world clearly. as in Sacrifice of a Virgin in the Mayan Bull Court. “He is returning to our world: to/its religions and ball courts, returning, ROOTIES seems forced and unjustified, as if Dubie were trying too hard to impress us with his message. It also jars rhythmic expectations and puts undue emphasis on often unimportant lines. Crown of creation Barring this, Dubie’s crown of creation lies in his manipulation of time and location contexts, his ability to transmute still-life into motion and vice-versa. A description of burial rites by the Ganges suddenly turns into a handful of postcards being Atilecatl passed in a crowd of friends. His picture poems (“After Three Photo* of Brassa’i”) go beyond mere descriptive verse. The white borders disappear, the action is running and we watch an elaborate story-line unfold. Much like a Jungian dream elaboration, Dubie finishes the fabric of a half-related tableau. The subjects in a photo are living people and aware of the man with the camera. Dubie gives them the space to call out and tell us that their lives are more than a glossy print, that they deserve to make an impression on us and not just the dull film. Not a collection of perfect gemstones or a hall of mirrors where one gets lost in the author’s reflections, Nortnan Dubie’s "OlesFruit” utilises the irregularity of their medium to involve the reader in the writing. The limitations of poetry serve as their own salvation, becoming the means for transcending the distance between author and reader. Dubie reminds us: "In the city of the Olesha fruit A citizen never dies, he just wakes One morning without his legs, and then he is given A city ofhis own making." —Michael Lazar Approximate perfection The energy which led the poet to write is hopefully transmitted to the audience, taking black words and infusing them with imagination’s colorful context. Imagination is the continuum through which the poet touches and the reader responds. The poems in this collection do not always meet the ideal of this process. No work could ever hope to more than approximate such perfection anyway. Dubie’s devices are interesting where they work and often revealing where they fail. We, are disappointed when a poem is clumsy or poorly the experience makes us go ‘Aha!” when we Vecognise the same idea clearly transmitted els^wnefe. The subtlety of a piece such as Elegy to the Superior Oblique, a poetic exegesis of the role of imperfection in the creation of believable images, (“So I must tell you that the sisters in the cart are/Unhappy and not beautiful.

She sings about breaking hearts, suns setting, sweet sorrow in a way that is not only kitsch, because she tries to capture the original feeling of the songs, but that is also maudlin because Harris’ Voice has always been rather plaintive. The Hot Band, which includes zippy guitarist Albert Lee and superb songwriter Rodney Crowell, are best at recording country rock songs story songs Which Harris does better than any other type. And they even bring the delicate spirit of pure country music to old songs by performing their country rock ditties which were written only a few years ago. An example of this is the spellbinding folk tale by Townes Van Zant called "Ranch and Lefty” on Harris’ Luxury Liner album. The song on Blue Kentucky which feels closest to it is Crowell’s ode to Tom Robbins’ great piece of pop absurdity, "Even CowGirls Get the Blues.” Here Lee shows off a parodic lead electric guitar well-suited to Robbins’ clever efforts. With harmondy by Parton and Ronstadt, Harris sings of a world turned upside down, of character Sissy Hankshaw’s escapes by hitchhiking, of an alternate way of thinking. — Cloted Mondays (new Kenaanffton) kill.

Crowell is a gold mine of perfect lyrics and music that combines mundane occurrences with unusual twists based on passion. ' DeifieD Patti Smith’s WWe is not fresh though it can be exciting in a carefully produced pop sort of way. Patti does her little poems to God as myths on “Hymn” and "Frederick,” something she’s done since she’s begun recording. While her allusions to some well-regarded poets are both artsy and pseudo-intellectual, her complete recycling of the free-form poen-sOng is openly" destructive to her respectability among those who have lapped up the elitism that once educated her listener. Wave is completely listenable but never stimulating. Nevertheless, she maintains a passion which, if not driving, is struggling to be heard. That feeling has always driven me into what may be called sweet depression, a mind-wandering feeling based on thoughts that are aleatory and improvised. But considering the fact that Patti Smith has sung songs like “Dancing Barefoot,” “Revenge” and “Wave” before, any feeling of enthusiasm is watered down by repetition. I believe Todd Rundgren’s slick production is a travesty for the passionate ambivalence of Wave. His lead is not sensitive to separate emotions but synthesizes a particular sound which combines the spectrum of emotions so that they become inseparable. The overwhelming wall of sound on “Frederick” is in direct opposition to praise of Smith’s ode to her boyfriend as God (and maybe God as her boyfriend). And if Smith wants to sound as pure as a child on.“Wave” and sound like a bitch on “Revenge," then less overdubbing, less typicality, less triumphant heralding of lyrics than have been heard before would all be good suggestions. My feeling is that Harris and Smith have tried what they think is something different and may have been uneasy with that change. So they relied on some sort of hard thinking or vestigal instinct to get them by. But they are more innovative with the music recorded prior to these records. They’re not old hat yet by any means and these are no indications of a decline in creative ability, just misdirection and mistake. �sports classified SUBLETTER desperately needed, price negotiable.

CHEAP! by David Davidson “Not really,” notes New York Mets spokesman Tim Hamilton. “In New York (the Mets play in Queens) we have excellent public transportation. The Long Island'Railroad connects to the subway only two stops from Shea Stadium.” Hamilton will agree that the Mets attendance is at an all-time low, but this seems to be related to what goes on at the ballpark, not what occurs at the local filling station. The Mets are dead last in their division “It’s too early to tell if the crunch is the reason,” Hamilton said, We’ve only had one home stand in Jtfne.” “The other side of the coin is that New Yorkers can’t get away,” he continued. “Instead of driving to the Jersey Shore or even Jones Beach, we’re hoping they will just hop in the train or a bus and come out to the ballgame.” Here in Buffalo One ballpark that has limited accessibility by bus and none by train is the Buffalo Bills’ Rich Stadium. Aware of this, the Bills are still not panicking. “One thing I’ve noticed is that attendance last weekend in professional sports is up,” said Bud Talman, Public Relations Director of the Bills. With the football season only two months away, Talman said he has not received any feedback from season ticket holders about the availability of gasoline around Rich Stadium. “There are three stations right in the immediate area,” Talman noted, “What their availability is, I don’t know.” Bills’ fans generally com? from Erie County, but some travel from Rochester and others even further. For the local spectator, Metro buses travel to the stadium from the downtown bus station and Talman said the Bills’ front-office has not really considered adding any more buses. In New York City, neither the basketball Knicks nor the hockey Rangers are concerned with a drop in attendance should there be a continued cutback on fuel allocations. “If there is a gas crunch come September, we’re fortunate to be in this area (Madison Square Garden),” said the New York Knick’s Kevin Kennedy. “Being located on top of Penn Station, we can have the suburban fans arrive by either trains or subway. In that respect, I don’t think the crunch will have an adverse effect on qs.” “If there is a predicament,” he speculated, “we would explore every possible aspect of correcting it.” Not fazed Sharing Madison Square Garden with the Knicks are, of course, the New York Rangers, who are not at all worried by the lack of gas. “Quite honestly, we have not given it consideration,” the Rangers’ Janet Halligan said, “A great portion of the fans who do come in from the suburbs are already in the city from earlier in the day.” Last time there was a gas crisis (Winter 1973-74) it did not affect our attendance.” The Rangers average attendance runs between 17,000 and 17,500 per game. The Washington Redskins football club has run into a little luck despite the crisis which has rocked the Capitol this summer. “We’re fortunate that the Metro-rail, which used to run only during the week, is now running Sunday through Sunday,” Redskin spokesman Charlie Taylor declared. “Besides, buses have always been big in D.C.” Taylor admits people have been calling the ’Skins, concerned about making the trip to RFK Memorial Stadium, but noted, “There are only eight games to a season, so people can make a point not to do anything Saturday in order to conserve gas to come oat to the game on Sunday.” The Redskins average sellout crowds of 55,031 and draw most of their fans from the imme4iate District of Columbia vicinity. But the Redskins also have regular patrons who come from as far as 100 miles away many of whom would be severely hampered by a lack of fuel.

Enrollment figures attract quite a bit'of attention in the ivory towers, and for a very down-to-earth reason money. Although private colleges obtain much of their funding directly from tuition-paying students. New York State public schools receive a budget based almost completely on enrollment. Educators often cite a “shrinking pool of college age people” as a source of the enrollment drop. Colleges have been riding on the crest of the baby boom, they note, but each successive high school graduating class dwindles with only a slim chance of growth within the next two decades. To fill this void, many institutions are turning to the only logical choice non-traditional or adult students. UB is unique in the $UNY system in that it has an independent night school, the Millard Fillmore College (MFC). Assistant Dean of Continuing Education Eric Streiff said that MFC enrollment has dipped from about S000 in the early 1970s to about 3500 in recent years. MFC, he explained, once absorbed the overflow of applicants unable to gain entry into the day school. Now that the day school has fewer applicants, that function is no longer needed, Tie added. But Streiff said that UB administration is looking for MFC to up its enrollment, and that the MFC budget is subsequently increasing. Part of that - - budget goes into “promotion'’ of the night school itself. Streiff noted that MFC has an’"extensive mailing list’’ and buys ads in the local papers. Direct advertising, however. Is frowned on by SUNY Central in the case of the day school. Director of Admissions and Records Richard Dremuk said other methods are available to recruit freshmen and transfer students to the University. In addition to. sending brochures to specially qualified high school candidates and contacting high school'counselors, UB participates in “college fairs.’’ College fairs consist of the University representative setting up an informational display at high schools (or two year colleges) in order to attract transfer students. Dremuk called this tactic “probably the most effective way” to bring in new students. He noted that efforts have intensified in high school visitation and recruiting, and that prior to 1974 there was virtually no high school recruiting. Dremuk said that as the enrollment tug-of-war between schools grows more fierce, some schools resort to tactics outside the National Association of Collegiate Admission Officer’s code of ethical conduct. Last year, he said, Canisius College a local private school whose president has complained in the past that too much money is being spent on UB’s Amherst Campus, purchased a radio commercial urging students to “get away from that large University” and enroll in Canisius. Attacking other institutions is strictly out of bounds, charged Dremuk. In the race for more studetns, cautioned Dremuk, entrance requirements must not be - — —continued on page 6— Gas shortage reaches East, anger and blame follow of cars, and overcrowded 'public by Robbie Cohen transportation. National Editor inevitably Six years later, and here it goes again: three hour waits at the gas pump in sweltering New York City, odd-even days gas rationing, ten dollar minimum fillups, summer streets strangely devoid flare, _ indignantly rip down “last car” signs, violent confrontations explode between attendants and impatienT customers. The nation’s headlines feature horror stories of senseless almost farcical shootings ‘Creeping in’ Buffalo affected also While motorists idle- their cars on three hour lines in New York, Buffalo drivers pull along relatively uncrowded pump islands and shout “fill ’er up.” So far, it seems Western New York has eluded the clutches of the gasoline crunch. Yet the shortage is slowly creeping into Buffalo, as most gas stations have posted $5 limits and some bear signs reading “No Gas.” Clarence Blackwell, proprietor of the Mobil Station on Main and Kenmore says he’s doing business with only 80 percent of his normal gasoline inventory. “I’m laying off some people,” Blackwell confided, “but I really don’t know more than anyone else about the situation. I just hope it doesn’t get like New York.” „ Harry Spector, Senior Assistant to Erie County Executive Ed if and when it hits Buffalo will not be as severe as it is in New York City. Rutkowski, said he has reason to believe that the crisis — - Brunt of the crunch “The only two oif refineries in New York State are situated outside of Buffalo and right now they are going full tilt,” Spector said. Geographically, Buffalo is in an advantageous position. It doesn’t have the intricate distribution tangles plaguing large, cities which expanding urban areas like New York or Houston have felt the brunt of the crunch. — Spector related that the County Executive’s office has contacted the Federal Department of Energy (DOE) to ensure that gasoline suppliers deliver their July inventories by the first or second of the month, thereby avoiding weekend gasoline closings. “The end of the month is when the situation becomes critical in a shortage,” Spector explained. Spector indicated that there have been no serious shortages thus fat in Erie County but he declined to commit himself when asked if such' shortages will eventually develop. Last Monday Governor Hugh L. Carey asked the DOE to allow release of New York’s emergency supply of gasoline. So far the DOE has refused this request, one they granted to California when that state was in the throes of the crunch^ Inside: 'Courier sale— P. 3 ' / Analysis 'Tempers customers Memories over that one coveted gallon of a customer mortally Shoots a gas attendant in Texas, another attendant is gunned down by an assailant in New York. First hitting in California, this latest chapter of the energy crisis has made rapidly its way eastward, hitting many of the nation’s larger metropolises with a vengeance. The warnings of an first impending crisis were sounded last Winter. In the wake of Iranian export curtailment after the wrenching political turmoil in that oil-rich Near East world’s total nation, the petroleum supplies experienced a sharp shortfall. Although the U.S. derives only a relatively small percentage of its oil from Iran, the sudden loss of the Persian connection was significant in further constricting an already tight world oil market. petrol — are politicians.

Apparently, in the aftermath of the fiercely competitive buyers market, U.S. oil companies were not as aggressive as other industrialized nations like Japan and France, and so are now experiencing an estimated 5 percent shortfall in petroleum requirements. The imported oil the U.S. had been receiving in an unimpeded flow from places like Nigeria and Saudi Arabia is now being cut into by those more aggressive buyers who don’t want to lose but in the divvying up of the smaller pie. Back in January, Energy Secretary James Schlessinger was warning of a dollar gallon price tag at the pumps, predictions echoed by Jimmy Carter. And sure enough here it is, phis some. Several price gouging service stations in New York City have been demanding up to $ 1.60 for a gallon of black gold. „ of Colleges leader— P. 6 / Review of ‘Rocky II— p. 9 / Baseball surprises—P. 11 xA �r« ' * IS Gas shortage domestic hotly contested by Exxon,.

He was sitting on the front porch of his upstairs flat, leaning back in an easy chair, his feet propped up on the wrought iron railing. “How many r’s in tomorrow?” I called out to this stranger quite rudely. He looked up and peered at me through his tinted aviator glasses, his hair noticeably thin. Without a word, a dictionary dropped from the second story porch and landed at my feet. I was impressed, to say the least. Dave Mercer has lived on Englewood Avenue for over 25 years. When he moved onto the street, it was an Englewood Avenue shaded by towerjng elm trees which had grown so dense that it was impossible to see the house across the street. Dave’s quarter century of residence in the heart of the “student ghetto” gives him a unique perspective on the changing personalities of university students. He refuses to describe today’s students as “apathetic.” “Not by a long shot,” he said. “Granted, -' - Main Street.at — Niagara Falls Blvd. 631-3738 HEARD ISRAEL— For gems from the SUNDAY: Informal Service 8:30 am 9:30 am Bible Clast 10:30 am Formal Service Coffea Hour 11:30 am Fee information furnished upon request Jon-Mkhad Glionna Jewish Bible — — Phone 875-4265 — — LADIES & GENT EMEN Eorn money while attending school this summer Somerset Laboratories, Inc. previously had plasmapheresis programs available for Group B persons only.

Haynie hopes they will leave a “legacy of people who have experienced a more collective way of being, politically.” The average citizen’s inability to do this lies at the heart of Haynie’s own criticism of the political system. “Power is so centralized,” he says, When citizens get together to voice a protest “there ought to be something that happens.” But too often, he said, nothing happens; “and when it’s not worth it to get together, people no longer get together.” Haynie recounted one incident illustrating his belief in a collectively run campaign.

On the one hand, if we maintain high academic S standards for admissions and the number of qualified candidates drops, “■ then so will our enrollment Thus, budget cuts, programs eliminated, and faculty lost. On the other hand, if we lower our standards, accepting students less qualified than the ones already here, then this institution's academic quality will suffer. The effect is hard to predict, but it could mean a lessened credibility, lower accreditation rankings, and a disincentive to £ " * — - . - * attract faculty. It is not an either/or tradeoff. The University can compromise - partially lowering its standards and cutting back programs at the same time. In fact, most administrators here believe that shrinking enrollment figures already are generating severe fiscal constraints and probably retrenchment. Rather than wait, the University should start preparing for the inevitable crisis. A qualitative review of all programs should be conducted to see which departments and curricula are meeting the needs of students as well as the goals of the people directly involved. An evaluation of which departments can afford to be cut and which ones can't should be designed. Longterm effects, such as which areas will be more capable of building up again after the crunch, should be appraised. Furthermore,attrition/ retention recommendations should be acted upon, quality of life evaluations should bo conducted, and academic alterations should be scrutinized. Do we have to sound the alarm or can't people feel the heat? Maybe SUNY should just lower its tuition, thus attracting more students, and partially easing the expected'crunch. Nahl Why do that when they just raised tuition? What’s new(s) in Buffalo? The sale of the Buffalo Courier Express should be watched with guarded optimism. Most frequently, the quality of a newspaper is directly related to the quality of its competition. Thus, as the two major papers in Buffalo the Courier and the Evening News compete on the market, journalism remains the key factor in not only determining one paper's quality, but in essence, determining the other's. The sale of the Courier may readily bring an experienced, energetic new set of owners who will do all they can to improve the paper and its earnings. They are not long-time friends of the employees and one can be - - — sure that quality will be a ma|or determinant in who stays and who goes. Their financial ties to Buffalo are probably fewer than those of former owner William J. Conners III, and one might readily expect that advertisers will be able to exert less influence on the editorial end of the paper than they may do already. However, the sale of the paper also moves its owner's headquarters from Buffalo to Minneapolis. This could easily create a problem in accountability for a newspaper whose boss is somewhere else, with other interests, with less concern for the people of Buffaloand the people's jobs on the paper. With accountability goes autonomy. Any organization that has someone who is not directly responsible for its operation, not easily accessible, and possibly more concerned with profit than perception, is in a precarious position. Furthermore, the Minneapolis company which bought the paper also owns other newspapers, magazines, and television stations. The conglomerate media are perhaps the most threatening. What the sate of the Courier will mean for Buffalo journalism remains to be seen. Tbe news is longer limited to the newspaper itself, but now includes the newspaper business. It should be watched and read closely by journalists and consumers alike. The Spectrum Vol. 30. No. 4 Friday, 29 June 1979 Editor-in-Chief Daniel S.

He decided to get out, step back, grab another take a second look. It’s something we perspective should all do a little more often especially in the newspaper business. Yeah, this University is a microcosm. I’ve heard that before, over and over again. The people in this office are always reminding themselves of that, trying to explain why things occur and what meaning they have. In many ways, it may be true; — — it’s also bullshit. Take UB. Will Robert Ketter be the President of this place for five more years? The news is hot, real hot. But nobody knows, and if they do, they’re certainly not telling, and if they’re telling, you can bet that The Spectrum will not receive the midnight phone call from Deep Throat. A friend of a friend asked the other day: Who is Robert Ketter? Do you laugh at a person who goes to this school for five years and doesn’t know the President, doesn’t care about the decisions that the man in Capen Hall makes, doesn’t even connect the effects of the day-to-day battles that leave buildings unfinished (or unstarted) on the Amherst Campus, priorities slicing into his academic career and limiting the choices he has in his major, and leadership altering his lifestyle? Or do you cry? Do you cope with a reactionary Mayor, whose politics are buried beneath a mask of incompetence? “It’s the middle level people who make the real decisions,” I’m told. “It doesn’t matter who is on top.” That’s definitely bullshit. It is the man at the top who gets blamed when he is wrong. It is the man in the middle who gets the flak when the man at the top is right but nothing seems to be working. People on the bottom rarely blame each other. Look again. Jimmy Carter has just come from Vienna with a signed SALT treaty. Congress is going to haggle over the number of missiles the U.S. will deploy compared to the number of submarines the Soviets will be allowed. Brezhnev says he won’t stand for changes in SALT. The American people watch television, in hopes of latching on to a shred of evidence that will tell them who is really getting the raw deal. Meanwhile, we both have enough bombs to blow up the other. So what’s the point? of SALT? oLpolitics? of a newspaper at a University? Are we really instruments of change, influence, and power or are w,e merely a structure designed to maintain the status quo? It is this fucking status quo that connotes rigidity, lack of progress, an incapability to deal with our problems. We can rationalize We are in an environment that we are capable of influencing, changing, and improving. We must deal with what we are capable of dealing with. We should not overstep our parameters. We should do what we can, and do it well. It does matter who the next UB President will be. He (or she, but doubtful) is the leader of an institution affecting over 25,000 lives daily. The Buffalo Mayor is powerful. Last year, Griffin refused to release funds to study the feasibility of a municipal takeover of private utilities even when* the Common Council voted to release $100,000 for this task. Two councilmen are taking him to court. Many government officials, including the U.S. President, believe that any reduction in arms is a step in the right direction. It may be. If our .rationalizations fail, or become tiresome, or seem to be getting us nowhere, then we can do something else. We can step back and take a double take. We can scrutinize the situation from a new perspective. That’s what Bob did. And that is what this newspaper tries to do. Read it twice. ... �dayfridayfiidayfridayfridayfridayfridayfridayfri ONTH ON TH i fiia Y/fiP c • *51 fiiva ya w » by Joel Dinerstein U - “And does up Frank Perdue,” Deuce concluded. “Down and dirty,” Leo called as he dealt out the On my way home last night, I spotted a large seventh card. khaki tent pitched next to a modest green house over .**■•• .with only fifty cents.

In a recent article your reporter attributes all resistance to changing the rock wool ceiling (in Baird Hall) to this writer. Please resurrect your initial articles. You will find this office asked, in 1977, that the ceiling be replaced because age had taken its toll. We also stated, and later had confirmed by outside authority, there was no health hazard as defined-by scientific or legislature authority. Contrary to NYPIRG’s continued insistence the tests were for asbestiosis, the air samples were for fiber content in the air. In the case of control samples in Abbott Parking Lot, a locked store room and Baird auditorium it was determined the outide air we breathe and the air in the rooms was the same. NYPIRG’s inability to conceive the fallibility in purporting one fiber can cause cancer but a lung full of asbestos fibers (asbestiosis) bears no relationship is very difficult to comprehend. In spite of all the clamor the only persons who have ever demonstrated a continuity between asbestos and cancer have been workers in mills, ship fitting or production who were exposed to heavy concentration, family members exposed to high concentrations or persons living within a few hundred yards of a mill and exposed to high concentrations. The experiments on rats “proving” the fibers to be cancer producing were abnormal in that very large amounts of asbestos fibers were force-fed, force-respirated or saturated with chemicals also suspected as carcinogens. It is known that asbestos workers have only slightly higher rates of lung, intestinal and mesothelial cancers that the same cancers in the general population. If these same workers also smoke the incidence rate soars. The exposure to multiple elements has generated much discussion and new research on the cheap thrills by Dianne Manning and Ed Strumlauf I synergistic effects of smoking, chemicals and inhaled particles. The recommendations from findings in this area may very well result in changes in life-style to eliminate a personal habit in order to mitigate the exit and follow the Artpark signs through the village into the park.

Welch, Associate Vice' President for Academic Affairs, Acting Dean of the Colleges and professor of Political Science among other titles. But another Welch was also actively working Nancy Welch for the University in a less visible role until her death on May 9 at the age of 38. Nancy Welch was a student, a teacher and an administrator, a woman who had been praised for her keen mind, her driving curiosity and her concern for die students she watched over. As residential of Rachel Carson College coordinator (RCC), die and husband Gaude began, what is now a tradition at RCC, the Sunday suppers which join the 70 or so residents of the environmentally oriented College in an exchange of ideas - - and cuisine. She was responsible for seeing that came off programs and projects successfully, Academic Coordinator Peter Council seat called him up to ask him about an issue. “He asked me ‘What are you going to do about such and such?’ and I asked him ‘Well, what do you want me to do about it?’ Gold explained, “but she did a lot more than that.” Gold, who is Acting Master of RCC, said Welch was concerned with the efhotional well-being of the students, helping to better coordinate the living and learning aspects of the College. “I learned a tremendous amount about caring about people from her,” he said. Strong team Former Dean of the Colleges Irving Spitzberg co-taught a course in Public Interest Research with her which emphasized analytical skills: “Nancy was a very special person who combined very very strong principles with a very keen mind and a very strong interest in people,” Spitzberg commented. Together, he said, Gold and Welch formed “one of the strongest leadership teams in the Colleges.” The fact that Nancy Welch was strong-willed emerges easily as her most identifiable trait after speaking with her friends. “There was sort of a general —continued from page 3— • • • of honor with the voters.

Haynie thinks the time is now ” ripe to “galvanize political unrest focus it on some electoral victories.” He clearly wants to win and is no longer interested in “educational campaigns” or “moral victories.” Haynie and his supporters say they are working hard to put together a strong nuts and bolts organization they claim to have more than 70 committed volunteers right now but are de-emphasizing the financial end of things. and — - Golden opportunity “You don’t really need any money,” he says. “It’ll come. Besides, I don’t want to focus on spending money as a way to reach people.” Haynie adds that “radicals found out that when you don’t have money you’ve got to go out and talk to people.” Early indications are that Haynie is doing well. In the first week of petitioning, Haynie’s workers gathered nearly three times as many signatures from registered Democrats as they needed to get on the ballot. Still, Haynie’s initial efforts have caused few ripples among the established politicians jn the Delaware District.

Spitzberg said she was open-minded, open to ideas but firm once she had weighed a situation. “Once Nancy Welch made a decision, you weren’t going to change her mind,” he said. Welch interrupted her academic career years ago when she accompanied her husband to Oxford. Then an undergrad at Radcliffe, she suspended her studies while Gaude got his PhD. and they began a family. When they settled in Buffalo, she finished her undergraduate work; and when her family obligations lessened, she began her graduate studies here in counseling psychology, hoping eventually to become a counselor.

This fear has been echoed around campus the mean high average of entering freshmen fell from 90.2 in Fall ’77 to 88.3 in Fall ’78 and a report by the Faculty Senate Committee on Admissions warns: “... there has been some decline in the average quality of entering freshmen. This is undoubtedly due to pressures to admit more students.” Another facet of the enrollment problem is attrition, or students leaving the University without securing a degree. Attrition is spread throughout the State, and SUNY Chancellor Clifton R. tyharton has formed a statewide advisory committee to examine ways to curtail it. In the academic year 1977—78, an estimated 14,857 full-time students left SUNY senior colleges relationships ; —— and universities while about approximately 26,000 were lost from the State’s community colleges. But Wharton cautioned in an article4n The SUNY News that these statistics may be misleading since students who transfer or take a leave of absence also show up in the attrition figures. Attrition poses a particularly large concern at UB. One of the largest and most diversified committees on campus is the attrition/retention committee, which has just finished its report. UB’s Fall enrollment was 13,596; the Spring ’79 enrollment was 12,804. Taking into account both those who graduated in January (559) and the number of January new admissions (538), 771 students left UB between semesters last year.

It makes for a safe city if you want it you know where to get it like someone looking for spiritual solace in a church. In this city, art doesn’t walk up and confront you. Except until recently. Albright-Knox, CEPA (Center for Exploratory and Perceptual Arts) and Media Study/Buffalo are all secure homes for contemporary photography. I am not so sure Metro Bus 7711 is as comfortable in that role, but it seems to be taking it admirably. 7711 Is the latest bus-turned-gallery in the Metro Bus system. If you haven’t seen a bus-turned-gallery before I’ll describe it Rather than ads asking you to contribute to the Red Cross or espousing the virtues of Preparation H, there are prints where those placards usually are. The scope of subjects range from color prints depicting crannies of one photographer’s very personal world to medically precise cross-sectional photographs to black and white photos of children acting out emotionally charged words like fighting; annoyance, worried, and friendship. - - — — — - — TRAVELING ART SHOW: lt'» an advertisement, lt'» bus schadula no, it'* art) Photograph* grace the wall* of thi* bus (above and below), one of the Metro • ... Street critics I ran across the latest bus-turned-gallery show, a black and white photo show by Keith Gemeraki, on the 6:30 bus on my way to work. On board there were two nurses, a few drifters and a whole lot of factory workers and laborers. To satisfy curiosity about what’s going on in the minds of the street critics meant having to ask them. A sixtyish man with a red flannel shirt and a paper bag used more than twice for lunch said, “Well, it’s OK, I guess.. .They don’t really make sense but they’re nice photos .you know what I mean?’’ A sleepy nurse: “I like the way the light makes the kids look it’s sorta like early morning.” Thirtyish fellow in dungarees: “Yeah, one of them looks like one of my kids so I like it a lot. But some of the other stuff I’ve seen on buses was some real garbage.” .Ah .1 don’t Executive in his early thirties: “Um think bus fare should go for pictures. How much do you think these people get?

Buffalo has this reputation for being ossified in two classes the aesthetes and the people who work for a to disprove living. My little unscientific survey does that myth. While the people I spoke with didn’t feel free enough, or didn’t want, to tour the prints around the bus, as I was leaving, I distinctly heard the sixtyish man telling a mother that black and white is better than color sometimes.. .besides being cheaper. Yes, there are strange people on the bus. And yes, art is confronting people on the streets. - �■ !

The March of Dimes The latest project, actually more of a projection, is affectionately referred to as the “Mongoloid” album. “What we would like to do is record an album of our music to be used as therapy for retarded people. Have one side fast for exercise while the other side could be slow, soothing music for rest periods.” Nadz speaks directly and earnestly about the Indians’ intentions. “Retarded people are honest, like children. They have no false fronts.” The Indians will continue to make their statements through a series of projects, performing when comfortable, while staying clear of “scenes.” Next step? Sending tapes to Brian Eno when they can eventually afford to make a solid recording. You see, the Indians have yet to be paid for any of their performances in the various bars and centers they have played in. "Well actually we got paid ten dollars once," Nadz points out "We got up at McVan’s one night at 3 a.m. and afl plugged into the same amp. It was pretty wierd.” OLD RED MILL INN We were discussing the function of a novel in my literature class. It was early in the morning and the white room housed in the basement of Clemens felt cold. Unlike atmosphere, air conditioning is not spared on Amherst But everything felt cold. Even the discussion. "Well, I see reading a novel as a means of escape more than anything else.” So what else is new? “I identify with all of those young, sweet heroines who are so good. No matter how bleak life is, no matter how rotten, they stand for hope.” I look up. It is a statement, a comment, a point that a lot of us miss while searching for the intellectual side of things. Especially in art I know I’m late. Manhattan opened over a month ago and already the pages of the Village Voice and almost every other publication have been plastered with words on the film, These very pages of The Spectrum have been the forum for conflicting opinion on the work. CatcJjing KIetvjs for ail creative tasks. of survival. You're not Hope is the basis It is the basis going to make it through the rush and confusion without it. Yet no one has addressed the issue of hope. You can criticize the politics of the film all you want but leave this fan alone. Woody Allen is a man with feelings. He’s an artist unafraid to share them. Yes, his character Issac Davis is an upper-middle class Jewish writer. He lives on the ritzy, exclusive Upper East Side and worries that he won’f be able to afford the house in "the Hamptons” after quitting his privileged job. So all of the liberal intelligentsia in the media decide Allep’s appeal is limited. His big infatuation is with Diane Keaton’s character of the frazzled, hip-WASPy working woman who’s as confused as she is ambitious. So all of the feminists become angered at his supposed working against working women. And dare we go into the innuendoes of his relationship with a 17 year old girl? Enough. Issac Davis is a spokesman for Allen. Ultimately, he is the spokesman for us all. You can criticize the film for being about people who do nothing but talk about feelings instead of actually feeling. But when you get down to it, when you stop to look at yourself in mid-action or mid-thought, when you pause in mid-sentence, the truth hits you. As a friend of mine recently said, “people actually do talk like the characters in Manhattan” Manhattan is the heart of New York. It teems with contradictions that stem from its unique rush of energy and its unique ability to make all those capable of the creative task desirous of going out and doing it Manhattan is the microcosm to end all microcosms. There isn’t anything or anyone who cannot be found on its concrete streets. Like the New York Times with its promise to publish “All the News That’s Fit to Print,” the heart of its city promises to hold all the people and thoughts that are fit to live. Crude, maybe, but true. Woody Allen embraces this in the film’s beginning. The montage of black and white scenes depict the city’s diversity set to Issac’s loving 'oice-overs and Gershwin’s grandiose score; together we are given a istcard collage done up as a valentine. Yet Allen has chosen to focus what can get lost in the rush of this city he holds so much affection the basis for all creative tasks. It is the basis of survival, ing to make it through the rush and confusion without it Issac muses on morality and relationships, I am moved. ius line at the end of the film comes frorrvthe mouth of veet heroine "not everyone gets you know the one it’s true.

The man who made millions on an unlikely film called Rocky, who in F.I.S.T. and Paradise Alley sold himself with blistering efficiency, hasv now released his new business vehicle, his new exercise in profitable manipulation. Rocky // is a clone true to its parent: it is Stallone’s shameful and bare-faced monument to himself, a cold calculation to loosen wallets using a pop persona so shopworn even moths won’t touch it But he uses it with such machine-tooled efficiency that box office tills bulge with bills. Audiences love it, lapping it up. The question -is whether or not they are given any choice. Let me say at the start (to warn you of any clouding bias) that I didn’t like Rocky. I found the film a cheat on the moods and messages of its early sequences. Rocky Balboa was a dull-witted, amoral but basically blameless bum living way, down, right near bottom, and sinking lower. Talia Shire played a mousy, frumpy woman, a Ionian frozen and bound by timidity and going nowhere. Like the capsizing characters in Eugene O’Neill’s plays, they fell across each other on their way down and found support, hope, and the promise of liberation. Burdensome luggage But Stallone pushes this aside and opts for an easy success story plundered from Depression-era films and redolent of sticky, Hallmark-greeting-card the sentimentality. Rocky, a underdog triumphing by miracle, is the American dream redux but in a day when dreams of miracles are burdensome luggage. There was talk at the time of “revival,” presumably, of the fantasy films of the Thirties. But Stallone is no revivalist, no emulator, no poet for a past age. He is an emotional engineer who elicits cheers and tears I’ve gorte on at length about response is considerable, jt is not Rocky because Stallone, in his in the least admirable: it is_no sequel, didn’t even have the more subtle than filling the decency to make a different theater with caffeine.

Director Howard Zeiff knows his way around a camera while Stallone seems to be unaware that cameras can be moved, relying on someone else’s editing to shape the film.

There are more surprises as the professional baseball season reaches the half way mark. Aside from the California Angels, the majority of the “pre-season picks” are failing, while the no-name Houston Astros and Montreal Expos have burst on the scene with the unbeatable combination of reliable pitching and timely hitting. The big surprise in the AL East are Earl Weaver’s Baltimore Orioles, who at the beginning of this week lead the Boston Red Sox by three and the Yankees by nine full games. Considered a marginal threat in April, the Birds are blessed with the best starting pitching rotation. Dennis Martinez and Jim Palmer arc the two aces, supported by Mike Flannigan and Scott McGregor.

That is exactly why they won’t fly into first on September 30 for their fourth straight title. You hate to see a pitcher like Guidry drop off after his Cy Young award effort in 1978, but it happens. Gossage will be back, but won’t make a difference because it will be too late. Jackson may not even be a Ya/Ikee by the All-Star break in mid-July. Despite injuries to Ron Carew, Frank Tanana and Joe Rudi, the California Angles of the AL West are living up to their pre-season hype. Carew will be back in the next few weeks, and from then on the Angels will never have to look back over thpir shoulders. Kansas City has deteriorated; and Texas, despite all kinds of wheeling and dealing in the off-season, is still going to fall short of the mark. The Rangers, although still in contention, have temporarily lost the services of A1 Oliver, who is the best centerfielder in the game today. Their only hope is riding on their bullpen which features Jim Kem and Yankee throw-away Sparky Lyle. Pete Rose arrived in Philadelphia off a white horse; but by the season’s third month, the rest of the Phils were galloping around on Shetland ponies. No doubt the Phils can turn things around provided the starting pitchers reverse their lack-luster ways.

Ten years ago the Mets pulled it off, now it looks like Montreal is attempting to become the new “Miracle” boys. Smooth moves by the front office, like the acquisition of pitcher Bill Lee and second baseman Rodney Scott, have helped bring a good team to greatness. The Expos have the unique blend of up-and-coming stars and keep-on-going veterans. Tony Perez, who seems to be getting better with age, is a perfect compliment to the young unknowns, Ellis Valintine, Warren Cromartie, Gary Carter and Andre Dawson. Pitching-wise, Montreal is beginning to jell behind aces Steve Rogers and Ross Grimsley. A team that has been in the running until now but won’t be any threat in September are the St. Louis Cardinals. The Cards’ catalyst, Ted Simmons, is lost fbr six weeks due to a fractured wrist, virtually caging the Red Birds. The Pittsburgh Pirates also look good, but a lack of good pitching will cast a dark fog over Three Rivers Stadium before the season concludes. The'most jumbled division, and disappointing if you’re a Dodger fan, is the NL West, where the Houston Astros are threatening to blow the ropf off the Astrodome. With only minor changes from last year’s fifth place team, Bill Virdon has guided Houston to an astonishing' first-place hold on the division. Each game, a different Astro provides the punch, changing a team of no-names into all-stars. Joe Niekro, previously known as the younger brother of Atlanta as is his counter-part, Brave Phil, has been practically unstoppable J.R. Richard. The Astros, who are winning in bunches, have witnessed the likely star performances from centerfielder Jeff Leonard candidate for Rookie of the Year; Terry Puhl, who no one ever heard of; and Jaquin Anujar, a pitcher with past promise who has been shuffling between the bull pen and starting berths.

The Reds will collapse in the next two weeks, now that the bubble has burst on premier hurlcr Mike LaCoss. The remainder of the pitching staff in Cincinnati has been falling apart since opening day, including Tom Seaver. Offensively, the Reds have George Foster and Dave Concepcion; but the demise of the ailing Joe Morgan is turning the Big Red Machine into a decaying Ford Pinto, to collapse and burst into flames the minute the San Francisco Giants slam into them from behind The Giants will be the only threat to Houston when September rolls in. ’Frisco is hitting now, and patiently waiting for their pitching to return to form. Repeat performances of 1978 excellence by Vida Blue, Bob Knepper and John Montefusco might be the best thing to hit the Bay Area since Los Angeles moved south. Fans-at Dodger Stadium will not get a shot at seeing their favorites lose a third World Series in a row. The departure of Tommy John should incite an October riot in the office of Walter O Malley. Add John’s 11 wins as a Yankee to the Dodger record and you would come up with a Western Division contender. Deduct John and the result is a fourth place finish with a little luck though most likely fifth when Dave Winfield and the Padres finish with a flurry. - - & Records mTMMIIlllllllllllllMIMUIMlimieMfHMIllMIMIIUmMMUHIHIMHI111111111 > 1111111 111 111 Mi > 11 • • Registration for 11 ■ 1111 l• i i•i > I i upper by David Davidson Sportt Editor to a year ago OVkRSIZCD AVAILABLE JULY 1st. 2 bedroom CLASSIFIEDS may be pieced at ‘The Spectrum' office, 3SB Squire Hall, MSC.

Get used to it. They will be there, somewhere along Main St., working for the next five years on construction of the nearly half-billion dollar Light Rail Rapid Transit (LRRT) line. If all goes according to schedule, according to the Niagara Frontier on • / Transportation Engineering Department describes a number of very tangible behefits which the city could enjoy because of mass transit. Paaswell points to an estimated increase of 2500 jobs in construction-related employment over the five-year life of the project, pumping millions of dollars into the local economy. Beyond this he anticipates an upsurge of investment around transit stations, just as shopping malls and subdivisions tended to grow around the superhighways of a first car,” he says. Because transit provides a sharp focus for a higher density pattern of development, Paaswell also predicts a savings in “infrastructure” development. Infrastructure is the term given to the whole range of physical improvements which must be made to make-urban development possible: roads, sewers, water lines, telephone and electric lines, streetlighting, and sidewalks. Of course, the effort and expense the utilities”' serving as the improvement which attracts both private and public investment. two or three of the 14 stations which he hopes will net the city “a couple of hundred thousand Joint development Congress and UMTA were not satisfied to let this process happen (or not happen) on its own, and so set aside $200 million for “joint development” to “maximize the economic return on transit investment.” The money is available for research on making investments in transit corridors easier or more appealing. Compared with other cities eligible for the funds, Buffalo is indeed lagging. Miami, which is at a similar state in development of new rail transit facilities, has a full-time staff of about eight working on joint development. Atlanta, Baltimore and Washington, D.C. already have submitted their applications. Authority (NFTA), the first passengers will board ttrains in May of 1984 for the 6.4 mile premiere ride from Memorial Auditorium to the Main Street Campus. The trip will be cut in half twenty minutes compared to the almost forty minutes it takes now. But perhaps the most important thing is that the rapid transit system may be the key to speeding the revival of Buffalo’s ailing urban core. Larry Scheiber doesn’t mind telling you that the LRRT is going to be just about the best thing to hit this since the Erie Canal. But that’s his' job; Schieber does public relations for NFTA. Besides allowing people to travel in the city “freer, faster* more comfortably, and more safely,” Schieber believes the line will be a great spur for urban revitalization. To illustrate, he points to Toronto’s experience: $ 10 billion invested along the first 4.5 mile section of the Yonge St. line and skyrocketing property values. — Sagging economy Joseph Voit, a broker for Saperston Real Estate, readily admits that transit here will have “a favorable affect on value” but he doesn’t expect anything like the Toronto boom. “None of the rules we live with apply to Toronto,” he said. Toronto was then a boomtown. Today, Buffalo’s economy sags. Dr. Robert A. Paaswell, a transit specialist in UB’s Civil inzo GET USED TO IT: Main Straat will be torn up, tarred over, and detoured around for the five yean while the Niagara Frontier Transportation Authority installs Buffalo's rapid transit system. The project, which has been tangled in red the 60’s and 70’s. Because of this, and a general appreication of property values in station areas, Paaswell foresees a stabilization and perhaps an increase in the city’s tax base. Paaswell also sees a savings in energy costs: first because transit is simply more energy efficient than cars and second because mass transit tends to promote a more dense, more compact pattern of development instead of the typical “urban sprawl.” Mass transit will even allow, some people to dispense with the “cost of owning that second car or even Inside: DC-10 debacle—P. 6 / tape and controversy, is estimated at neerly a haH-biMon dollars. The above scene at Main and Winspaar is nothing the digging around the University new to UB students began early last spring. — local governments are willing to shoulder puts a limit on how much can be done. First, a bit of background: Congress did not see its mass transit program as simply an effort to improve transportation in selected American cities (only a handful of large cities are being funded for rail transit by the Urban Mass Transit Agency [UMTA] ). It is instead part of an overall effort to revitalize deteriorating central cities with what one local architect, Peter Hourihan of the Cannon Partnership, calls . “people Alvin Alley—P. 7 / This might include offering tax abatements, improved landscaping and lightig, providing zoning and design controls, and “site assembly” whereby the city assembles various smaller pieces of real estate on behalf of private developers interested in larger projects. The Buffalo- Community Development Department, which is handling application for the money, hasn’t gotten very far yet. Mike Krasner, who is in charge of Joint development for the city, said he is now “pre-application” Fascination—P. 11 / preparing a for studies of dollars.” Failing economy This situation worries Paaswell. “Buffalo,” he says, “is a city in major decline,” with an expanding service economy failing to make up for a loss in manfuacturing jobs. In retail sales, for instance, there isn’t that much business to go around; Paaswell sees business fighting itself, with the suburban malls at odds with the central business district. R ight now the only organization with responsibility for decisions concerning station area development is the Theater District Association. Harold L. Cohen, Dean of the UB School of Architecture and Environmental Design and a member of the Board of Directors of the Theater District Association, told. The Spectrum the Board will soon make a decision on how to respond to the NFTA’s choice of the “600 block site,” down a few blocks from the actual theaters, for the Theater District Station. The Theater District Association has gone on record to oppose that choice because they believe it will hamper retail trade in the Theater District. The other thirteen station areas face a come-what-will future. And the only entity with jurisdiction over the whole corridor is the City of Buffalo and it is uncertain whether they have things under control. Paaswell believes that co-ordinated planning will lead to strong development while contradictory policies will risk wasting the opportunity which transit offers Buffalo, and he fears we may be heading for the latter. ‘Ampersand’—advertising section �M t GUTTER OASIS: Tha Drop In Cantor provMat on oasis from the curel Ufa faced by the nitfrt poople.

Shameful specimen by Robert Basil Managing Editor In many ways, bums are like college students. They think about the same things.

Although a written draft of the new spending plan was not available Wednesday, officials within the State liave some idea of the funds they are about to receive. Granted to the State University of New York (SUNY) as a whole was $3.9 million for projects at*various campuses. Headlining this University’s $924,800 request for supplemental aid was a $.5 million plea for the ailing Dental School. Of that, only $100,000 was granted for equipment, leaving other critical areas untouched. The School has been placed on a two-year accreditation probation because of shortages in staff, equipment and space.

The party, often referred to as a “one issue party,” put up a candidate in the last election and may prove a powerful force in the for Erie County upcoming race Executive. Chairwoman of the Erie County Right to Life Party Lillian Tepley said the party was formed to provide a choice for anti-abortionists in the election for governor. “We were pushed against t(ie wall when both parties gave us pro-abortion candidates,” she explained. Some political observers see the Right to Life endorsement as crucial to Erie County Comptroller Alfreda Slominski’s push for the County Executive position this November against incumbent Ed Rutkowski. Without this endorsement, Slominski could be forced to run as a “write-in” candidate an unlikely road In view of mounting efforts to make abortion illegal again, various pro-abortion groups formed the Family Planning Advocates (FPA) of New York to fend off attacks by Right To Life organizations. The latest threat is the Human' Life Amendment which would effectively prohibit abortion. FPA Director of Community Relations Kristian Miccio explained that after the United States Supreme Court legalized abortion in 1973, advocates became complacent. “Everybody said ‘we won’ and sat back,” Miccio said. “After sensing that the rights of the majority were being eroded,” she continued, many pro-choice people decided to defend their positions. Joan Levine of the Buffalo Planned Parenthood agreed with Miccio’s observation that Right To Lifers are often seen as “underdogs” since they are fighting to repel an established law. Levine noted that Right to Life groups often receive more media coverage because they must take the offensive. “News is around action,” she said. Legal chaos Miccio said the greatest threat to the abortion option is the Human Life Amendment, which would grant a fetus full legal status from the moment of conception. Such a constitutional amendment, she said, would cause countless legal complications. Conceivably, Miccio speculated, a woman who smokes or drinks during her pregnancy, or one who does not eat properly, could be charged with negligence. Whether a fetus can inherit property poses another legal enigma. Additionally, some types of birth control pills and intra-uterine devices would become illegal under the proposed amendment, since both operate after fertilization. Levine said that pro-life groups are — Kristian Miccio of .. Family Planning Advocates rights of majority were being eroded.' pushing for a consitutional convention in order to pass the amendment, a move she said would “create legal chaos.” She noted that constitutional experts fear that Vith no firm guidelines for such conventions, many components of the constitution could be changed. “It’s a way to bypass Congress,” Miccio charged. Levine and Miccio are also indignant over the federal Hyde Amendment, which they believe hurts the most vulnerable women the poor, students and third world women. — ‘Knee-jerk party’ The Hyde Amendment, Levine explained, restricts federal funding of abortions, through Medicaid, to three cases: when the life of the mother is endangered, when her long term health is threatened, and in cases of rape or incest. Levine fears that more states will gradually adopt the Hyde Amendment, virtually prohibiting abortions for those who can not afford a private physician^ to victory. Tepley pointed out that since all candidates for the post appear to be pro-life, the pa(ty : may choose not to endorse. On th^.,other hand, politicians have advised her.lo endorse a candidate in order to stregthen the overall position of the party. Party Treasurer Nan Jacobi said candidates are being interviewed about their views on abortion and abortion funding. She said a candidate’s past record on abortion legislation weighs heavily in the party’s endorsement decision. Besides abortion, Jacobi noted, one other issue would enter into an the candidate’s endorsement decision slant on the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA). Jacobi fears that ERA “will lock abortion into the Constitution” since refusing a woman permission for a medical procedure (abortion) may be construed as sex discrimination. — Human Life Amendment The prime* goal of the Right to Life Party, one it seeks in any candidate it supports, is the passage of a Human Life Amendment. This constitutional amendment would accord a fetus “person status” and full legal rights. Currently, this status is recognized at birth. Of the many criticisms aimed at the bill, said Tepley, is the charge that the amendment would outlaw some types of birth control pills, as well as the intra-uterine device. Both these methods of birth control prevent the fertilized egg from implanting in the womb, after conception, Tepley, stressed. While she said the party has no formal position regarding contraception, it considers a fertilized egg as a “distinct individual” and would fight any form of birth control operating after that point. Of the party’s two efforts to establish one the Human Life Amendment, through Congress and the other by way Jacobi of a Constitutional Convention said passage through Congress is preferred. The bill has been stalled in committee, she said, so a Constitutional Convention may be the only other route. Of the states needed, 15 have already called for a convention, she said. - — Compassion destroyed Tepley denounced opponents’ claims that a constitutional convention could result in constitutional changes unrelated to its original goals. She said a Rules Committee would be established by Congress and debate would be confined to the Human Life Amendment Should the Human Life Amendment fail, pro-life groups hope to prevent government funding of abortion. “We are compelled to participate in the taking of a life through tax dollars,” maintained Tepley. Tepley called Planned Parenthood, which relies partly on government money and advocates abortion as a means of birth control, “an enemy and a threat.” Although the Hyde Amendment restricts Federal Medicaid funding of abortions, New York does not have to adhere to the statute. Both Tepley and Jacobi wish to establish Hyde legislation in New Amendment-type York. In the long run, said Jacobi, abortion will “destroy our sense of compassion.” Miccio said that some legislators are introducing even more restricted versions of the Hyde Amendment. “It’s a chipping away process,” she said, noting that the government is interfering with a woman’s right to choose. Miccio did not consider the Right To Life political party a tremendous threat, calling it a “knee-jerk party.*' The party platform is built on one issue, abortion, whereas the pro-choice groups cover a much wider range of issues, including nuclear power, she said. Pro-choice supporters, Levine stressed, cannot simply relax and discuss strategy among themselves. She said they must write letters to politicians, visit their representatives, and encourage others to preserve the right to choose abortion as a Joan Levine of Planned Parenthood 'News is around action.' * • means of birth control. Miccio warned, “If it happens to one sister, it happens to all.” PARTY HEADS; Lillian Tepley, chairman of the Right to Life Party, and party treasurer Nan Jacobi discuss their views on abortion at Tepley's Amherst home.

A 1965 White House Executive Order established SUNY's affirmative action mandate. This University has supposedly recognized the need for affirmative action and established search guidelines to ensure that potential minority candidates are identified in an effort to comply with what it believes is its affirmativeaction responsibility. When a position becomes available, UB probably advertises in The Chronicle of Higher Education. By also publicizing a faculty vacancy in The Black Scholar, the University is not fulfilling its affirmative action responsibility, ft is just thefirst step. The UB panel designed to oversee this procedure does not have reviewing authority of the actual hiring. Thus, qualified minority candidates are located, the University fulfills its legal responsibility, a white male is hired, and we are no better off than we started. This is not affirmative action. Although all of the University Vice Presidents claim to support an affirmative action program, only one employs any minorities (besides women) in his immediate office. (By the way, all the University VP's are men.) One might readily call this track record horrendous. Of course, the VP's have excuses "There are not enough qualified minorities in availability pools. Budget constraints have limited our ability to substantially alter the employment sector. Cutbacks haveresulted in the traditional last-hired first-fired doctrine that slices what few minorities we do have from the employment payroll. Many minorities are attracted elsewhere; namely the private sector where the demand is just as high and the money is much better." The excuses go on and on. If UB is seriously interested in establishing an effective affirmative action plan being a leader in an area which Student Association President Joel Mayersohn appropriately notes we should be a catalyst then much more should be done. The panel for the review of search procedures, appointed by UB President Robert L. Ketter in 1973, should have its oversight responsibility extended to hiring. The Vice Presidents who claim they can't find qualified minorities should look harder. They.should call the Affirmative Action office and get a list of more availability pools, suggestions as to which publications should be notified, and they should make an effort to employ minorities in their immediate offices let alone, their disciplines. Individual department chairmen, when vacancies occurred, should actively seek qualified minority candidates who could offer their department and the University something special not just a qualified teacher, but a qualified minority teacher. The University President could consistantly reiterate his support of an affirmative action plan, and in so doing, re-direct his budget priorities to areas that will attract both minority students and faculty. A quick glance at UB's Black Studies Program will reveal a continual depletion of funds, a void in upper-level administrative support a false gesture by a University supposedly committed to affirmative action. The formation of the University's Affirmative Action Committee is perhaps UB's best chance to,rekindle affirmative action's flickering flame. Certainly there are significant obstacles in any affirmative action plan, but perhaps these hurdles can be overcome with the help of a vocal campus community, unwavering financial backing for a committee that will have to do much research, and administrative support from both the top down and the bottom up. It may not take Jesse Owens to set UB's affirmative action track record straight. It may take a lot of hard work from a dedicated committee. Mayersohn appropriately points out that "UB is providing a disservice to its studetns, staff and the community it serves by not developing a comprehensive public Affirmative Action program." Now is the time to change it. — • ... Pitiful American, two-faced critics.

The choice is whether to go with the flow and revel in this blaze of amorphous glory or to think your future into the ground. We are all probably guilty (or innocent) of both While bicycling on a nice stretch of land down by Buff. State, I saw this blue ’73 Nova. A giant red balloon rode bareback out the passenger side. The balloon came undone and ventured, rather haphazardly, into the stratosphere. I got off the bike and stopped to rest without taking my eyes off the gradually disappearing sphere. Under the pressure of the mid-day sun, I imagined how enlightening it would have been to be safely ensconced in that balloon, floating directly above all that mattered to me, observing and listening to their lifestyles, and given the fact that I am presently at a personal pitstop what they were thinking about me. I realize that even half-wits and milkmen know that to truly understand a situation, you must find a way, either physically or mentally, to make yourself external to it. So even if the red balloon would help me objectify my immediate' experience here on planet earth, how could I objectify the fetal position I would have to take in the spheroid, or the red film it cast on all my observations?

To the popular, “what are you doing here,” I replied a vague, “just passing through.” Mom told me to remember to buy the good meat, stay away from non-Jewish girls, and did I know that parsley was very good for me? Dad asked me what I thought of Billy Martin’s return to the Yankees, and did I need any money? Further down the block the balloon jogged. My older brother peaked out of his ’57 Chevy to tell me I was going the wrong way, that I’d kill myself, and that I was obviously from my older sister’s side of the family. His wife yelled “love ya,” and his two kids waved and broke wind respectively. My older sister waved and told me that she enjoyed the letter and the poem I had sent her. She also told me how proud she was that I had been to the Nuke demonstration in Washington in May. My younger older sister bounced up and down, waving and smiling, and asked me exactly when I would be coming down. On the next block, my best friend asked me what I was doing up there. An old high school buddy asked me if I had heard the new faul Simon album. I knew then that this was a dream. The pregnant two-color vehicle breezed by an old love who waved reassuringly and then it blew back and she waved pensively and it passed on but ran into a cold front and then it blew back and she tossed me a melancholy wave and smiled sadly as the balloon finally, with a powerful northerner at its back, blew away for good. I could’ve sworn the weather report said that the winds would be calm today. On the outskirts of this time-warped psychedelic city, a close friend was working fervently on a one-panel cartoon that, interestingly enough, was dominated by a large balloon with a detached observer in two looking passively at a milling crowd below. Above the observer’s head was an empty though bubble. Deep in thought, she stared into the sky and caught a glimpse of me. Smiling ear to ear, even beaming it seemed, she cried out, “Come down when you’re ready. Have a nice trip.” And, leaving the thought bubble unblemished, she proceeded to her next cartoon. cheap thrills by Dianne Manning and Ed Strumlauf IS THIS next-door neighbor’s nightly trash, or at your local hardware or crafts store. Gather your materials, clear a space to work in, grab a friend (if you have one), and start work early so there’s still plenty of time to fly your finished masterpiece before the wind dies down. Start by cutting your plastic bag to the specifications shown below. If you feel extra creative, you can take your magic markers and draw a design of your choosing in the center area of the kite. (Please, no pornographic pictures. A city that wouldn’t allow the showing of Deep Throat, certainly wouldn’t let you getaway with that.) Next, tape the toothpick, pieces in place on the two outermost wing-tips. TKep, set the dowels in place and secure them to the plastic with cellophane tape in at least four places. It is a good idea to sand or bevel the ends of the dowels to prevent them from rippg through the piastre. i Now that the body of the kite is complete, you are ready to attach the bridle. Gingerly, pierce the taped comers of the wing-tips with a sharp point. (A hole puncher is ideal, if you have one.) Cut a five-foot length of string and fold it in half. Make an overhand knot approximately one-and-one-half inches from the center, to fprm a loop in which you can attach your kite. Finally, allowing 24 inches on each side, thread each end of the string through each bridle hole and knot it securely around the toothpicks.

Affirmed disservice The following letter was addressed to Assistant Vice President for Affirmative Action Jesse Nash. After reading the graph entitled Tenured Faculty by Sex and Race Across Faculty Rank and Salary Range, Fall 1978 which appeared in the Reporter of June 14,1 was appalled. The conclusions which 1 drew from the document implied that the University’s Affirmative Action has been a resounding failure. With a small swing of faculty either through retrenchment, resignation, etc. the composition of the faculty of SUNY/AB will be dominated by white males. The chart indicates that opportunities for women and minorities as one ascends the faculty ladder at UB are few and far between. The only level where appropriate ratios are beginning to develop are at the lower level faculty positions. I realize that the financial state of this University dictates the number of faculty. However, even with those considerations in focus, the University has not laid any framework for ensuring affirmative action. The time has long past for this University to pay more than lip service to the needs of minorities and women. In 1979, UB cannot afford not to actively recruit qualified candidates and not to have a precise University-wide Policy for Affirmative Action. The University should provide the lead for the community on issues of social import. UB has lagged far behind. The University should envision a philosophy of quality. The University faculty should include a unique mixture of men, women, blacks, whites, Hispanics and internationals. UB is providing a disservice to its students, staff and the community it serves by not developing a comprehensive public Affirmative Action Program. I await your comments.

The coffin was sucked out a hole in the baggage compartment and plummeted to the ground below. Unapprised of the pandemonium behind them and of the hole in the fusilage, the flight crew fought Five minutes or so after take off, the jumbo aircraft had ascended to a height of 11,500 feet, breaking above the clouds. It was all blue skies and a bright orange setting sun outside the cabin’s plexiglass windows. In the passenger compartment, the “Fasten Seat Belt” and “No Smoking” signs had been turned off. In the first-class cabin, A1 Kaminsky and his friend left their wives to play gin rummy in the forward lounge. that moment, two miles Windsor, Ontario, the sophisticated aircraft was stricken as a result of an engineering defect built into every DC-10. The flight — At above captain, fifty-two year-old Bryce McCormick, heard a loud bang. “It sounded like a book being brought down on a table very solidly,” he recalled. Underneath the plane, a defective cargo door latch malfunctioned, forcing the door to break off and blow away. Instantaneously, massive amounts of air were sucked out of the plane. Due to the tremendous loss of pressure, whole segments of the plane’s inner fusilage collapsed. The cockpit was simultaneously filled with a cloud of charcoal grey dust particles, temporarily blinding the pilots. The passenger cabin was filled with a damp, white rolling fog. One stewardess, Cydyda Smith, hung onto a grab rail in the service center until the sensation of weightlessness subsided. Metal fragments shot through the cabin, one of the shrapnel bits striking Mrs. Always cracks Consequently, the trouble-ridden DC-10 is the FAA’s baby. A veteran mechanic for United Airlines at Los Angeles International Airport, Ray E.

I suppose that when you are guilty of being highbrow, you are guilty of limited communication. You are guilty of appealing only to those perching perilously on the pedestal with you, those looking for the deeper, more intellectual meaning in what is given. It doesn’t matter if what is given is. basically good. To be highbrow, whether the subject is art or people, implies dissatisfaction with what is basically accepted because you don’t believe in the ones doing the accepting. Dance is often considered a highbrow art. The reputation is often warranted when you think of classical ballet as the only dance form worthy of being classified as art. The tendency to do this stems from its inaccessibility; the masses do not appreciate classical music, it is safe to say, and often, classical ballet deals with plots and themes too archaic and traditional (e.g. Swan Lake’s insufferable suffering) for our own modern day lives. If we look to most classical ballet for anything, it is for esthetic value. We can appreciate the visuals; the costumes, the sets and the grace emanating from the well-muscled dancers. Only rarely do we get a chance to appreciate any feeling. This is why the discovery of a Baryshnikov is enought to thrust ballet onto the covers of Time and Newsweek. It is a dance form badly in need of dash and drama other than that already of dance as all-encompassing art' inherent in the form. It is desperate for some emotion to be pulled forth from either those dancing or those watching. But then, maybe lack of feeling has something to do with being highbrow what is already being communicated through the medium. Ailey uses sets on a minimalist level. His theater is one of living, moving performers. Esthetic, yes. But always personal. too. Visionary For twenty years, Alvin Ailey’s American Dance Theater has been the perfect example of what an all-encompassing art dance can be. It has been said that Ailey’s vision is "unique” because he does not see his company as solely his instrument. Instead, Ailey sees his dance company as the equivalent to a theater repertory. For him, dancers should expand their craft in works that are both artistic and entertaining. His repertory company is one that both preserves dance of the past as well as continually refines new works. It has also been said that, by fulfilling this dual role, the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater is "institutionalizing” modern dance. I’d like to ignore any mention of institutions. It’s too highbrow for me. And much too highbrow for the art belonging to Ailey and his troupe. Theater is exactly what Alvin Ailey and his troupe create. All of the emotion and energy all too often lacking in classical ballet and in modern dance such as Merce Cunningham’s repertoire is pleasurably evident in an Ailey performance. These are not just the physical leaps and turns coming to mind when we think of dance, these are bodily and facial expressions used to enhance Rare audience Sponsored by Wells Productions and the Center for Positive Thought, the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater acted out their fantasies on the cavernous stage of Shea’s Buffalo for three nights last week. There on opening night, I was surprised at how sparsely attended the performance was. Another example of the classic “Buffalo-is-a-cultural-armpitbut-let’s-not- support-th e-arts! syndrome, 1 thought. Those who were there could be called members of that ‘“young professional” class written about in the print lately (straight and gay alike). The more interesting portion of the audience, however, was young but distinctly not professional The appearance of the Ailey troupe had brought out a number of enthused black teenagers, who might never be seen dance or drama attending any theater partly because of the highbrow stigma. The word is spreading beyond just the standard dance audience the white upper-middle class, both young and old and this |s how it Ailey’s Dance Theater is art of fa kind that transcends all those differences labels are made for. ” - - — - Performing ‘‘Night Creatures,” “Myth,” “Butterfly,” and “Revelations” the Dance Theater provided the first nighters with a program amply displaying their range. The point... ‘‘Night Creatures” is an expanded Broadway musical showstopper, the big dance number that comes in the middle of the story. But here, the dance is the story. Choreographed to Duke Ellington’s jazzy swing sounds, "Night Creatures” is his visualization of the theory "night creatures, unlike stars, do not come out at night they come on, each thinking that before the night is out he or she will be the star.” Like ethereal blue night fairies, the dancers descend to the streets, coming together to revel until the morning when they slink back to where the everyday existence that they came is only half-heartedly theirs. In contrast, “Butterfly” is the type of modern dance associated with the avant-garde and lack of feeling. Choreographed by Rael Lamb to music by Morton Subotnick, "Butterfly” is danced by a cast of six, dressed in brightly-colored bodysuits, who flit and pair off into wing formations. Whatever theme there may be is not evident, but the intensity of the dance is affecting enough. We were talking about being highbrow, weren’t we? Maybe this is the point: you forget about such a tag when addressing the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater. They communicate with no limitations. And they are more concerned with moving those well-muscled bodies in an effort to move us than they are about staying prone on any pedestals. - — - �t CO Allrrlans ramble on musically enlightened Band of rogues reunited at Aud work and Gregg’s super vocals reaching through the realms of blues, gospel, country and rock. by Eileen Lee .1 1 They may as well have flown the Confederate flag outside the Memorial Auditorium last Wednesday as over 10,000 concert-goers got a taste of the South. For an appetizer, Harvey & Corky served up 10,000 chicken wings and spare ribs in what they called “The World’s Largest Indoor Barbecue.” Ahhh, but it was the main course the reunited Allman Brothers Band that out us Yankee renegades, and the band saw to it that no one left hungry. The concert was billed and seen by many as the proverbial “event” After all, it had been nearly three years since the Allman Brothers jammed together. There was, in fact, a time when members of the band said a reunion would never happen. The group credited with making Southern rock fame as a real genre seemed ready to slip forever into history'. But even without old members Chuck Leave!) and LaMar Williams, the band is together again and fans of classic Allman Brothers and Southern boogie were in the Aud to hear the music they had been too long without. And yet, if loyalty ran high in the crowd, so did their expectations and skepticism. The band had to live up to the whole legendary aura about them. Then there was the question as to whether, after all the hard feelings following their widely publicized break up, the members could musically come together. — - Dickey Betts leads Allmans on tour Complimentary To the pleasure of everyone, the group performed nearly every song off their latest LP, Enlightened Rogues, (a title taken from a phrase Duane often used when referring to the group). The album is probably one of their best since the famous "Live at Fillmore East” and is being well received by both concert-goers and record buyers. One of the better rock tunes, with his voice. But his solos were rather short and on the whole relatively infrequent during the concert. The real hot spot, however, of both this song, “Cfazy Love” and many of their other numbers is the strong, clean, melodic guitar solos of Dickey Betts. His bluesy lines and style of playing really add polish and texture to the group’s sound. Regardless of the length of his solos,-one never gets the feeling that they’re dragged out. Although they were nearly all derived from blues patterns, each one seemed fresh and different, sometimes simple, but always in perfect balance with the tune. Highlights of his playing could be heard as he dpened up “Crazy Love” with his slide guitar and even more so when Dan and he played the double lead lines producing the a ever-familiar guitar harmonics trademark of the earlier Allmans. Dan is also a fine guitarist and soloist whose playing tends to be simpler than Betts’. The concert flowed onward to another new song, a ballad called “Just Ain’t Easy,” sung beautifully by Gregg. The lyrics described someone’s unhappy stay in Hollywood and the personal connection .the same ole street, was immediate; you’ve seen a thousand times, that overflowed with neon lights and enormous signs, My God, how you want to leave there.” A latin instrumental ensued as the band convinced us of their adaptability, versatility, and fine dynamic control. - Legendary Southern rockers give their all stage with J. Johanny Jchanson (Jaimoe) and Butch Trucks behind each set Second lead and bassguitarists “Dangerous” Dan Toler “Rook” Goldflies (from Dickie Brtts’ Great Southern) stood near the front of each platform and, at center stage, Dickie Betts looked like a descendent of Jefferson Davis in his cowboy hat and long moustache.

Without even playing a note, they brought character to the set Gregg Allman with his tell-tale long blond hair behind the keyboards, the phenomenal dual drum platforms to the rear of the — The opened concert with Gregg dedicating the performance to deceased original members Duane Allman and Berry Oakley. Moving through a pleasant slow blues tune to a cut entitled "Can’t Take It With You,” from their new LP, any remaining doubts or skepticism of the group’s consumation vanished. The reunion had happened, the performance was real, and their music was as good, if not better, than the band has ever sounded. Things slowed up a bit as Gregg Allman rang out a slow blues ballad call "Need Somebody,” featuring some fine keyboard “ ..

After a half-hour of lines like "I’m allergic to questions, they make me break out,” I wondered whether Evans had some kind of strange scheme or revenge working. It is easy to picture him in a dark, smoky studio office, clutching this miserable script, chortling evily, ‘‘Maybe I didn’t get the kids, but I’ll fix her wagon.” by David Graham Last week on WBFO, I heard a film critic explain that there are three kinds of movies: those that appeal to , the head, those appealing to the spirit and those which touch the heart. On the basis of Anthony Harvey’s Players, I would like to propose a fourth category: those that appeal to the gag reflex. As the movie opens, Chris Christensen (where do they get these names?), played by As for Dean Jr., to paraphrase Dean-Paul Martin (Dino’s boy) Costello, “We can look so Elvis and Guillermo Villas sweat it out as he don't have to talk at long before the big tennis finals at Wimbledon.

Players, in fact, is a nauseous mass of stereotypes. Bald-headed Mexican card sharks squint malignantly and blow cigarette smoke through missing teeth. Stuffy Britishers with pursed lips point their noses to the heavens. Nicol, we discover, is a “kept woman.” She gets intermittent phone calls from her industrial magnate lover Marco (Maxmilian Schell) summoning her to Monte Carlo whenever he gets the itch. (Chris’ comment: “All 1 know is, whenever you speak French on the phone, it means- you’re leaving.” Bright boy.)

It was this show that most viewing the "jazz In June’* festival were waiting for, and CODONA promptly met their every expectation. It was a show full of pleasure, great expressive power, and moments of great humor always pointing out the greatest seriousness. Take one moment while the trio did a Japanese Kabuki variation, all three excising a vocal tension to the peak of scream and slam action. The three of them were so tight as voice sounding one 'WOooooooooOOOO-VA! BLAP!, more exciting music come from the rhythms of his feet pounding the floor in dance.

It was remarkable that a Communist country, whose atheist doctrine had been condemned as antithetical to the spirit of the Church, allowed the Pope to come to Poland in the first place. — It was an historic and momentous visit: a Polish pope, the first Slavic pontiff in the Catholic Church’s 2000 year in a triumphant and emotional return to the nation of his birth and allegiance. He was mobbed by his countrymen everywhere he went. Throngs of ecstatic Polish Catholics poured out into the streets hoping to catch a cherished glimpse of their revered spiritual leader and national patriot on his weeklong tour of this stalwartly Catholic country. The history ruler Gierick John Paul present prodded II regime to religious freedom overwhelmingly grant the true Poland’s Catholic population by encouraging clerical participation in to government policymaking and allowing the teaching of scripture in public schools. “Christ will never approve,” he No interference said, “that man be considered or The behavior of Edward that man consider himself merely Gierick’s moderate (by Soviet a means of production, or that he standards) bloc Communist be appreciated, esteemed and government surprised most valued in accordance with that observers.

Nicaragua’s regime crumbling underrebel pressure by Alvaro Carrasco As rebel Sandinista guerillas close in on the Nicaraguan city of Rivas, it appears more and more likely that the twenty-three year old dictatorial rule of Anastasia Somoza is coming to a long awaited end. Armed opposition to Somova’s repressive regime has ignited a bloody year-long civil war, a civil war in which most of the nation’s 2.5 million people are partisan to the rebel opposition. Even tne business community has had it with the dictator. Last Sunday, the opposition announced the formation of a five man provisional government, one that is sure to be recognized by more progressively La tin-American countries like Mexico and Cost Rica. The U.S., whose interventionist diplomatic record in Nicaragua is a deplorable one to say the least, is watching the developments closely. What follows is a short synopsis of that interventionist record, one that is still being carried on in the form of arms shipments to Somoza’s militia, and an analysis of the rapidly unfolding developments. In no other region has the history of US intervention been more blatant than in the Central American/Caribbean area. By the turn of the century, the United States had gained control of Puerto Rico and within the next decade, goaded on by American business interests, had intervened militarily in Cuba, Panama, Haiti, the Dominican Republic and Nicaragua. Resistance started in Nicaragua under the leadership of Augusto the US Marines began in 1912 what was going to be 21 years of almost uniiUerrupted occupation of the country. The military take-over proved to be an inadequate solution. The US realized that a natie force would have to be created'to maintain order, mitigate anti-US feelings, and utilize the geo-political importance of the region (e.g. the Panama Canal to the south) for its own interests. Thus, with US funds, the infamous National Guard was spawned, and Anastasio (Tacho) Somoza Garcia, father of the current dictator, was appointed as its head. The Somoza dynasty quickly consolidated its power and began to run the country as if it was its own private fief. By the time of Tacho’s assassination in 1956 the family was worth $60 million. Today the fortune amounts to an estimated $500 million. Somoza’s tight control of the country has created deep resentment not only among the peasants and the urban laborers, but also among the majority of the business community. Within the region, Somoza has also lost possible allies. The neighboring dictatorial regimes of Honduras, El Salvador and Gua'emala fear Somoza’s expansionism, and the more progressive governments of Costa Rica and Panama have given support to the .Sandinista Front. Military support from the US, on the other hand, has been forwarded generously to Somoza’s forces. Nicaragua, with one of the smallest populations in Commentary Central America (2.4 million), has the highest per capita military force (currently more than 12,000) in the region and it has received the largest per capita military funding from the US for the past decade. This military support has bolstered the regime against all opposition, including business sectors the US would like to see strengthened. Depite military superiority, the popular mobilization, under the leadership of the FSLN (Sandinista’s Front for National Liberation), has grown in strength. Although the Sandinista opposition does not see eye to eye on all political issues, they have nevertheless managed to piece together a common program based on democratic rather than totalitarian ideals. TTie different opposition groups have merged in the interest of prudence into a united front fighting against the hated Somoza with the longterm goal of toppling him. On September 9, 1978, the FSLN attacked the National Guard’s Headquarters in Masaya, Leon, Esteli, and Chinandega and issued the call for general insurrection. The Nicaraguan people responded by conducting poorly-armed actions, building street barricades, offering food and shelter to the rebels, and - refusing to aid government forces. Although the military won that costly round of the battle, the events further crystalized popular antagonism to Somoza and his troops and provided the opposition wiih a real assessment of its strength. Conservatives estimate that at least 5,000 persons were killed and thousands more were injured in the rebel-regime clashes. Approximately 20,000 Nicaraguans were forced to flee to neighboring Honduras and Costa Rica. After the guns were silenced, the Carter Administration suspended additional military and economic assistance and a mediation plan was formulated. The plan, nevertheless, failed due to Somoza’s intransigency. On May 31, 1979, the Sandinista Front launched another offensive against the Somoza regime, and on June 4 a general strike began with massive support throughout the country. The National-Guard is moving in on Managua and other cities in an attempt to break the strike. The Carter Administration’s response has been to authorize a large airlift of arms, munitions and other materials from bases in the Panama Canal Zone. In addition, $30 million in aid is bound for Nicaragua via the International Monetary Fund a crucial infusion for Somoza as the Nicaraguan economy is in such desperate shape. The recent events speak for themselves. The general strike continues and the Sandinista Front is in control of the second largest city in the country, Leon. The fighting continues in the capital and other cities. The popular forces have named a provisional government of five to rule the country. The entire Nicaraguan pdwple are now fighting the regime, and Somoza is answering with the most deplorable actions the Nicaraguan air force, for instance, is dropping napalm on the Southernborder zone. Somoza’s disdain for popular opinion/tor human life, and for the welfare of the nation has made other Latin-American countries take strong positions. Venezuela, Costa Rica, Mexico, Colombia, Barbados and Jamaica have used official and extra-official channels both to show their support for the widespread democratic opposition to Somoza and to urge him to resign. - — �N year deadline I Four E Clinical Psych program faces tough re-accreditation rules ."4.;-q, by Bonnie Gould Contributing Editor Cries arising in Spring 1978 when the renowned UB Clinical Psychology Program narrowly obtained accreditation have stilled. A year later, however, except for minor changes, little has apparently been done to improve the poor facilities. Administrators and department spokesmen seem relatively In its evaluation, said Chairman of Psychology Department Ira Cohen, the APA cited such problems as the isolation of the Ridge Lea Campus, lack of clinical space, inadequate library access, difficulty in conducting psychological research experiments and obsolete training facilities. New home In order to cope with the inadequate facilities, a move to Parker Hall on the Main Street Campus was originally contemplated by the Administration. But Governor Hugh L. Carey’s release of funds for a new Social Science Building on the Amherst Campus, just before election day last Fall, meant that the Psychology Department would find a new home. However, completion of the building, according to Vice President for Facilities Planning John Neal, remains three to four years in the future. Neal said, “We will be doing some more minor repairs” in the meantime. As of this week, only two improvements have been made, rooms have been soundproofed and walls have been tom down allowing for more clinic space.

We are located just down Maple Rd. from the Amherst Campus at: 1331 North Forest Rd. Suite 110 Williamsville, New York - ». Associate Editor Erie County Executive Ed Rutkowski may well have scored the political coup of the year in local politics when he got the Conservative Party endorsement three weeks ago for the County Executive’s election in November, ihe decision leaves County Comptroller Alfreds Slominski “very surprised” since she has received that party’s endorsement for elective office consistently for the “past 17 years” and fully expected it in her own bid for the County Executive’s office. County politics, as well as the politics of the suburbs and outlying towns, has long been dominated by the Republican and Conservative Parties. City politics, mainly Buffalo and Lackawanna, are dominated by the Democratic and Liberal parties, but the city’s Polish and Irish southside neighborhoods- are nonetheless politically very conservative. Because of this, Slominski’s reactionary politics have won her the loyalty of many southside voters allowing her to be one of the few Republicans active in city politics. So strong is this “conservative ethic,” that it propelled maverick Democrat James Griffin into the Mayor of Buffalo’s chair with the help of Republican Slominski. Griffin won on the Conservative ticket against liberal Democrat Arthur Eve, a big victory for a supposedly minor party. In return for Slominski’s help, Griffin announced his support for her candidacy in the County Executive’s race and pressed for th‘e Conservative Party’s endorsement. Chairman of the Erie County Conservative Party George Vossler said, “We are not bound by his wishes, despite what he’s done for the party.” “I’m disappointed but not defeated,” said Slominski who vowed to push for a write-in campaign to win the Conservative Party’s endorsement despite this decision by the party’s executive committee. “It’ll be an uphill battle,” she predicted, “But then I’ve never run any other kind [of campaign] Slominski has long been a renegade politician, a powerful and vocal foe to her political opponents, the Democrats and Liberals, and a continual thorn in the side of rivals in hew own Republican and Conservative Parties. “Mr. Rutkowski has nothing more than a five month record in public life,” Slominski said sarcastically, “most of that press releases.” Vossler agreed, “He hasn’t got much of a past record.” Vossler credited Rutkowski’s own initiative and “salesmanship” in winning the party’s endorsement. Vossler said Rutkowski was successful because the party's executive committee liked his point of view and thought him friendly and personable. But Vossler stopped short of saying that Rutkowski won the endorsement because the committee felt he had a better chance of winning in November than Slominski. Rutkowski has been in office January when he was since appointed interim County Executive to finish out the term of Ned Regan, who was elected State Comptroller last year. Before that, Rutkowski was a legislative aide to Republican Congressman Jack Kemp and for many years has been a close personal friend of Kemp's. Both Kemp and Regan are favored sons of the Erie County Republican organization because of Kemp’s popularity as author of the Kerap-Roth Bill in Congress (to cut federal income taxes), and Regan’s upset election as State Comptroller. The platform of both stresses fiscal prudence, but the local GOP is deeply in debt and close to bankruptcy, a political embarrassment for Kemp and Regan. Stories in the Buffalo Evening News have implied that both Regan and Kemp swung the endorsement for Rutkowski to prevent Slominski from upsetting an already unstable political situation. Vossler denies this and said pressure from Kemp and REgan “might have had some effect, but not much.” Vossler said the Conservative Party Executive Committee has 33 members who are more responsible to the demands of their own townships than to political' pressure from higher government officials. Slominski said she will seek the Republican nomination in the September primaries and the Conservative nomination as well, through a write-in campaign. If she fails to get a line for the November Slominski said she Kill not ) run as an independent candidate. �UB Archaeologists dig old Fort Niagara site i ‘Safe condition safer’ Baird Hall to be closed briefly by Diane LaVallee During the 18th century, three countries held control of the fort: France, Britain, and the United Some UB professors have been States.

Doty. The UB administration still feels, however, that Baird Hall is adequately safe in its present condition. But because many students and faculty are so apprehensive about the presence of asbestos particles in the Music facility’s practice rooms and corridors, the Administration decided to repair the ceilings anyway, Doty said. The decision to repair the flaky ceiling tiles directly contradicts Environmental Health and Safety Director Robert Hunt’s assertion that the asbestos posed ho danger. Hunt has opposed repairing the ceilings ever since the New York Public Interest Research Group (NYP1RG) revealed the building’s possible danger in January. An air sample taken recently indicated that the asbestos fiber concentration was too low to cause asbestosis, a disease which occurs when sharp asbestos particles scar lung tissue so much that respiration is severely impaired. This test, however, was roundly criticized for neglecting to recognize Although it has not yet been determined asbestos’ known carcinogenic effects.

She praises Baryshnikov for his sense of humor and for not being gruesome like his subject matter, and then she says, he is no Solzhenitsyn demanding his pound of flesh.” Her remark suggests that Solzhenit, In the early days of the recording industry of the best-sellers were vocal numbers by artists like Caruso, McCormack, and Alma Gluck when did that kind of material drop out of the charts, I a large percentage — wonder? And why? “ syn is a gruesome, humorless partisan of some sort of vindictive justice. This grotesque misrepresentation could be ignored if there were not a danger that, together with similar ignorant remarks in the press, it might persuade fair-minded students not to read Solzhenitsyn’s books. Anyone who has read the Gulag Archipelago must have marvelled at Solzhenitsyn’s tranquility of soul in the face of Soviet tyranny. James W.

Jacoba Atlas gives a refreshing overview of the struggle for content that has been a part of the silver screen since Chaplin’s first tries.

I was disappointed therefore to read .further on in the issue her review of Bukovsky’s book and her advocacy of the “Russian human rights” hysteria.

I found this to be a very emotional subject to discuss for our student and intellectual friends in the movement. I believe that time will show that support for justice for the U.S. working class is inconsistent with support for the Cold War maniacs pulling the strings of the “Soviet Human Rights” Fraud.

The Soviet government does not do this to benefit President Carter's political chances. Justice for the U. S. working class can never be inconsistent with justice for people in any country.

That left three other snuff scenes, so we can assume the venerable MPAA (ithe film industry’s rating organization) is offended by four murders-for-profit, but not by three. The MPAA is well known for its arcane judgments: the board has steadfastly (twice) refused to change Manhattan's rating from R to PG, reportedly because the word “f. . k” is used twice in that film. But some of us recall All the President's Men with a PG and one ’f. . k,” and last year’s Same Time. Next Year with a PG and two “f. . ks.” Isn’t that odd? Most insiders believe Manhattan remains an R because the old farts on the ratings board could not accept Allen’s character having an affair with a 17-year-old girl. The reason we can’t spell it out: some ofour schools refuse to distribute any Ampersands that contain the dreaded four-letter word. F . . k is acceptable, though. Old farts are everywhere.

Balin says he quit the Starship be- cause their schedule wasn’t his. “They have their way of doing things,” he said obliquely. “I wasn’t ready, I didn't feel like going on tour then, so I said ‘Get yourself a singer.’ Mickey Thomas, he's pretty good, he’ll keep ’em going.

In 1975, when the Tubes first “caught on,’ they wowed audiences with hilarious jokes and an unparalleled assortment of outrageous props, all of which compelled press people to use phrases like “X-rated theatrerock!” As their Palladium show proved, the alarming theatrics served to underplay their musical talents which, man for man, are pretty amazing. Lead singer Fee Waybill displays unrelenting energy, a wonderful When the Doobie Brothers kicked into their set-ending “China Grove” 90 minutes after the lights went down inside Lawrence’s Alien Field House, the audience was already in overdrive. But when fireworks and ftashpots began exploding in 4/4 time with the song, the crowd uncorked a 12,500-voice shriek that could have been heard in Kansas City. Led by guitarist Patrick Simmons and keyboard player Michael McDonald, the band opened with a five-song medley of early hits, including a fuel-injected version of ‘Long Train Runnin.’ The song featured some stinging lead guitar trade-offs between Simmons and new member John McFee, and shot the audience to its feet for the first ol many times during the course of the evening. The band proved early in the show that the addition of McFee, saxman Cornelius Rumpus and drummer Chet McCracken more than made up for the recent loss of guitarist Jeff “Skunk” Baxter and drummer John Hartman. The trio of new Doobies added a versatility suited to the band’s diverse style, with Bumpus putting in some time on organ and flute and McFee doing some inspired violin and pedal-steel work. Simmons, who has a big hand in most of the band’s all-out rockers, shook the rafters more than once with his power chording and driving rhythms. McDonald writes heavily syncopated, chromatic tunes charged with the same tensions that mark his vocals —his jazz and R&B-influenced songs rounded out the band’s amazing diversity. The band’s newer material drew avid response. On three songs from their new album Minute by Minute, the crowd broke into spontaneous sing-alongs—not only the choruses, but the entire songs. “What a Fool Believes was the most popular of the new songs with the album’s title cut a dose second. When they finished playing “Listen to the Music” for their second encore, the old and new Doobies walked off the stage amid a flurry of flying drumsticks and long-stemmed ” roses.

But on a cramped North Hollywood cul-de-sac, just around the corner from a noisy intersection, lives a woman critics call the brilliant and original jazz composer since Duke Ellington. Toshiko Akiyoshi, voted top arranger in the latest Downbeat poll, leads the Akiyoshi-Tabackin Big Band, ranked Number One Big Band by the same poll. Akiyoshi also plays piano with the band, while husband Lew Tabackin leads its fivemember saxophone section. She sits this afternoon at a low Japanese table, drinking tea to chase off a cold that forced her to cancel rehearsal sessions. “I felt, in the late Sixties, that I hadn't contributed anything. I thought I would quit Akiyoshi says. Her hands form no music gestures, but her face and eyes are expressive. Then 1 began to look at the black movement to see how it could relate to me. I realized I could draw from my Japanese heritage, which was richer than American, and bring an infusion to benefit jazz. That was my way to find significance.” Akiyoshi’s mantelpiece is full of a wards —Grammy nominations, downbeat certificates, a trophy from Japan’s Swing journal —and propped against the piano that almost (ills her living room is a half-finished sheaf of music, the pencilled notes precise and sharp. Akiyoshi is the only woman in history to write a complete repertoire for a big band and organize musicians to play it. Beyond this surface novelty is music that veteran jazz listeners call fresh, appealing and dramatic. Akiyoshi was born in Manchuria, China, in 1929, where her father ran a textile factory for a large Japanese firm before going independent in the same business. After the Japanese lost World War 11 the family had to forfeit their assets and return to Japan, a situation which caused much emotional and financial hardship. “My father wanted me to be a doctor when we first returned to Japan,” Akiyoshi recalls in hesitant phrases, as though not quite at home in her adopted language. “That was really crazy because 1 can’t stand the sight of blood! 1 was sixteen years old at the time, and had already been taking piano lessons for nine years. I was the youngest of four daughters, none of whom were professionals, so I decided to try medical school. We came to Japan in August and school doesn’t start there until spring. While I was waiting for school to begin I saw an ad at a dancehall one day that said ‘Pianist Wanted,’ so I went in and got the job. I forgot about being a doc- Akiyoshi began to build a reputation from that point on as a sensational pianist with a strong style and superb ideas. She made a few records for Japanese labels and became quite popular. But to really experience the jazz world she needed to travel to the U.S., which she did in January 1956, enrolling in Boston’s Bcrklee School of Music. There she studied composition and piano while continuing to work with combos when she could, and she spent a lot of time in nightspots seeing her idols play live, In April 1957 at John Hancock Hall in Boston her composition “Jazz Suite for Orchestra,” written as a school assignment at Bcrklee, was performed by a student band and was warmly received. Her stature in the jazz community grew and in 1958 she was named in Mademoiselle as one of America’s top women. She had overcome the prejudice in the mostly male jazz world that a woman couldn’t handle jazz music. In 1959 she married saxophonist Charlie Mariano, and they formed a quartet, playing several of Toshiko’s compositions. The late Sixties were a troubling time for Akiyoshi. Her marriage to Mariano broly up after they had one daughter, and Toshiko had difficulty finding work because of the failure of many New York clubs. “It was also the time of black revolution” she remembers, “and some clubs were only booking black musicians. There were many black organizations supporting black music, as a part of the whole political movement. 1 don’t think that’s wrong—blacks had to go through so much to make things belter. But not being black I had a tough time.” Akiyoshi met Tabackin while organizing a concert for herself in Town Hall in 1967. He was playing tenor sax with Doc Severinson’s band on The Tonight Show. In 1972, when Johnny Carson moved to the West Coast, Tabackin and Akiyoshi, by then married, did too. “One day Lew came home from work The subject is a Japanese fishing village, where mercury poisoning from an industrial plant killed fish and caused hideous deformities among people unlucky enough to have and said there was a rehearsal hall union members could rent for fifty cents an hour. “I eaten the catches.

Akiyoshi wrote in notes to the piece. “HowWe began our weekly Wednesday rehearever, they may feel very much concerned sals.” Escalation of the band’s activities has about what is going on around them or what recently permitted Tabackih to quit the Carson show and concentrate on working with his wife and in smaller combos. In 1973 Akiyoshi wrote an old friend at RCA records in japan,asking ifhc would like to record her new big band. The resulting album, Kogun, went on to become the largest-selling big band record in Japanese history, it was released in the United States at the end of 1978. For the last six years Akiyoshi has been writing challenging, robust and oftt*h humorous music that leaves plenty of room for the many fine soloists in her fourteen-piece band. Like Ellington, she enjoys writing for specific members of the band, making it important to keep the personnel constant, no easy feat when everyone has other jobs too. The band is something ofa music school as well. “There are two ways to write,” explains Akiyoshi “You can put the music down so the players work at 75 per cent capacity and the music sounds comfortable, or write music that may require more endurance on their part. The first way the writer’s getting most of the benefit, having the music played. The other way is more beneficial to has happened in the past, and they can express their feelings through their writing and playing.” Two albums of new work arc already recorded, awaiting release in 1979, Live at Newport and March of the Tadpoles (“tadpoles” is Akiyoshi’s affectionate nickname for her trombone section). Salted Ginko Nuts, the band’s eighth album and first to be produced by its leaders, will be released in Japan late in 1979. No American release date has yet been planned. The band’s new music runs from the happy shuffle of “Son of Road Time” to the pensive “Elusive Dream” to the almost Spanish-sounding “Notorious Tourist from East.” It’s all rich, driving and startling jazz. ‘I’ve always loved the piano and still play solo gigs when I can,” says Akiyoshi, “But I guess the orchestra is my real instrument.” Mark Levitan is a freelance writer-male, Caucasian-working on a novel having nothing to do with rock & roll. Leviton maintains —and our research bears this out-that there is absolutely nothing exceptional about him. �June. 1979 From “The Life of the Harp Seal,” by Fred Brucmmer; published by Optimum Publishers, Ltd., Montreal This spring this baby Harp Seal and others like him could be dead clubbed to death by northern hunters.

Yet Harrison Ford now sits slumped and slightly grimacing in his Harrison Ford canvas chair, acting a little surprised and disgruntled that another damn journalist wants another damn interview. Such recorded-for-the-world tetc-a-tctes, the actor tells the writer and the picture’s publicist, generally consist of the same old questions and the same old answers; what’s more, they often result in his being misquoted or quoted out of context. To avoid part of the former problem, Ford reveals, he sometimes . . . hm . . makes things up. “I told one writer that my parents were Rumanian midgets. He took me seriously and it got printed. It didn’t go over well with my mother.” The actor pauses to watch a group of extras stampede toward an alley between “The Palace Hotel” and “Mom’s Restaurant,” where chili and coffee are being served, then he adds a more pointed, personal objection to articles about him. “Just because you’re in a movie, everything you and that’s insane. say is quotable People must be disabused of the notion that someone like me is worthy of so ■J . Why was his role in Hems that picture’s only intriguing quality? it was “I don’t ever know why a part works or doesn’t work in any given case. But because that character only had a lifespan of about 20 minutes. In a character moving by that quickly, an actor isn’t obligated to have all the answers, the way he is if he has a larger part to play. You just have to go for what works, and not feel that you have to make a full characterization.” Ford’s food comes, a splat of noodles and yellowish sauce on a white plate. He regards it disdainfully. “Not exact-ly what I thought it was gonna be. This is Special?” He coats the offering with a layer of pepper and bravely digs in. The coversation resumes, and The Frisco Kid is brought up. The Robert Aldrich-directed film is the story of a rabbi who emigrates from Poland to America’s Wild West. Gene Wilder plays the rabbi, whose comedic misadventures include involvement with a bank robber, played by Ford. “It’s as realistic a presentation of a Jew in the Old West as you’ll ever see,” claims Ford ... between bites. “But at the same time it’s not just a history lesson. It’s fun. It doesn’t trade on sex and violence though it does have a little sex and violence, for those of you who like sex and violence. I know there are some people who will like me saying that. And Wilder and Aldrich arc great to work with. Wilder’s a very funny man.” Is Ford a movie buff? “No. Can’t say I am. Never have been. Find it to be an embarrassment at times, not to know what’s going on around me. Sometimes it’s useful to be that way, but sometimes it’s a definite disadvantage.” There was a silent movie actor also named Harrison Ford who was fairly well known in the early Twenties. Had that caused any particular problems or confu— — much interest ” Right then, as if on cue, a man approaches and introduces his 11-year-old son, who wants an autograph. The boy gazes up at Ford with wide, glistening eyes and stammers that he’s seen Star Hbrs a dozen times. Ford is dressed up in 1870ish San Francisco-dude clothes but the kid probably doesn’t notice them at all. He just sees Han Solo. Harrison surely realizes this, but it’s fine with him. “Then I should autograph.” He sion? rises from his star-chair and has the kid sit in it. He goes on his knees for a second and asks, “Can I shine your shoes or anything?’’ He’s kidding around, but seems truly grateful to this representative of those millions who’ve made his name a “Yeah,” he drawled. Ford’s speech is slowing down even more, but at least he is still talking. There is a fear in the journalist’s mind that that mouth might come to a complete standstill at any time. “1 didn’t realize there was one until I went to sign up for the Screen Actors Guild. They told me I couldn’t be Harrison household (or playground) word (but which name?). He’s doing a partial parody on the oid humble-star act that doesn’t even escape the boy. Harrison Ford plays the role well, and with conviction. A few days later, in Musso & Frank’s on Hollywood Boulevard, he’s playing the part of an unenthusiastic interviewee even more convincingly. Seated with the journalist and the publicist at arable in the middle of the noisy bistro, ,fie frowns into the menu, looking all the/more menacing with a few days growth ot beard, chooses the Special of the Day, slaps the menu down and grumbles, “All right, let’s get this over with.” However, Ford turns outio be not quite so sullen as this opening remark augurs.

Worse, and completely at odds with his intense persona on screen, he talks in a slow, methodical monotone that, after fifteen minutes or so, might put even a speeding Star Han fan to sleep.

Another bite. Another look around the room. “Oh. I had, to create a middle initial." And what was that? “J.” Oh. Son of an Irish Catholic father and a German Jewish mother, Ford, without the middle “J,” was born in Chicago on July 13, 1942. He had one brother, Terence, and led a “rather uneventful” childhood.

Like many writers, especially prolific ones, Asimov’s history is relatively sedentary, and it is his observations rather than his actions that make him interesting. Yet so much of this volume is taken up with the man’s childhood and adolescence that we are given far more documentation than observation. The result is an odd hodgepodge that is occasionally amusing, intermittently interesting, yet often little more than a potentially serious case of eyeball fatigue. From his birth is Petrovichi, Russia, through his childhood in Brooklyn and up to 1938, when he began keeping a diary from which much of this book’s detail is drawn, takes over 200 pages to relate, more space than some people take to write their entire lives. The largest audience for this book will certainly be the fans of Asimov’s science fiction novels and stories, who are likely also to be the Inost pleased with the book, for Asimov gives a complete and quite detailed account of how and when each of his stories was written, sold, and published. We come to understand the mind that maintains such awesome and incredible retention of detail and puts it to splendid use in books on science and history. Yet the witticisms, the logic, and all the fine-tuning still probe no deeper than a hairbreadth, and one can only hope that all this groundwork, as tightly fitted as the stones in an Egyptian temple, is only a preliminary investigation of the man who will emerge into the light in the second volume. I wouldn’t, however, count bn eventually discovering that man. I think he got lost somewhere in the hieroglyphics. Richard Oelap All the Lonely People tian is not necessarily the one in clerical clothing. Somewhere, most of the English stories hinge on sex —not in the steamy, physical sense, but more in the ludicrous ways it causes people to behave, wrenching their lives out of shape, wrecking tranquility, crowning fools. All that. There are children discovering their mother’s makeshift lovenest in an abandoned summer-house after their father has been killed in the war. There is the enjoyably menacing revenge of a boy made a laughingstock in prep school, who, decades later, trots out his peers’ homosexual track records before their horrified wives and children. There is the lonely, conventional middle-aged lady who is repelled by the attentions of a working-class lesbian, only to discover, when it’s too late to cash in, that she’ll never get a better offer. And there’s the title story of a sleazy romance between a married travel agent and a buxom salesgirl, set in the era of Eleanor Rigby. Trevor’s reference to the Beatles’ music—and this song in particular—suggests that the Sixties were the era of the common person and that his lovers were as muph “of their time” as lonely Eleanor. These stories are not charming; the characters are not incandescent. The pleasure to be had from reading the collection is sheer appreciation of Trevor’s powers of observation and his craftsmanship. Shelley Hirner A Jazzy Trio Three new books on jazz are worthy of mention. Leon Ostransky’s Jazz City (Prentice-Hall, $10.95) traces the growth of four major cities and their Jazz cultures. New Orleans is presented in depth, from basic city planning and architectural evolution to population influxes, and Ostransky spends a good deal of time explaining the origins of Creoles, the result of crossbreeding Blacks and French, and on the Storyville sector, where crime and vice ran rampant. Little is said of the jazz scene in New Orleans, though we get a nice idea of turn-of-the-century events, the dances and salons, and the accompanying music that eventually led to William Trevor’s Lovers of Their Time is a col- jazz. lection of short stories evoking mainly EngWhen we jump to Chicago, the book gets land and sometimes Ireland in the period rolling.

For years many auto sound manufacturers were content with the premise that any sound is better than no sound at all. This wasn’t a choice; it was a dictum. But now some auto sound equipment manufacturers have discovered the idea of better sound quality. Installing a good auto system in a car is not the same as setting up an in-home hi/fi. Autos present problems of their own, including electrical interference from cars, trucks, buses, power lines and electric signs. Car space is limited and it isn’t always possible to position speakers for most effective listening. The padded interior of the car soaks up bass tones like a thirsty sponge, and pathetic is the only word to describe some of the speakers. Power output of most receivers is usually 10 watts or less and this is achieved by driving the amplifier in the receiver to the 10 percent total harmonic distortion point. But, to coin a cliche, every cloud has a silver lining. By some discreet shopping, planning and spending, an audiophile can put in a sound system that produces minimal aural anguish. The only way to go is the component route, keeping in mind that the smaller the car, the smaller the dash and under-dash space. Still, with a bit of planning and ingenuity, a sound system can be installed which will be infinitely better than Detroit’s take-it-or-leave-it option. Improving auto sound doesn’t necessarily mean scrapping an existing setup. If it consists of nothing more than a receiver and a pair of speakers, the option is to add extra equipment that will give the receiver and speakers less of a burden; this technique does have the advantage of being a step-by-step procedure, not demanding the immediate expenditure of large cash amounts. The first move could be the addition of a booster. This is a power amplifier, has few or no operating controls, is mounted underdash, and is connected between the speakers and the speaker terminals on the receiver. The booster can supply audio power ranging from a low of 20 watts per channel to as much as 100 watts or more. The higher the power, the better, but the greater the cost. But with a booster the volume control on the receiver need not be advanced to the high level distortion point, so with this one addition this sonic irritant is eliminated. With a booster another pair of speakers can be added to give front/rear sound, distributing it, permitting the listener to have the option of front sound only, rear sound only, or a mix, a variation that relieves listener fatigue. It also helps improve bass response since the total cone area is effectively increased by the added speakers. Of necessity, most car speakers are small cone devices, so the second pair does contribute to listening pleasure. But adding more speakers without the booster is a trip into futility. Trying to tune a receiver, with or without �w June, 1979 pushbuttons, and trying to find a broadcast station which will remain locked in and supply satisfactory program material can be frustrating. The solution is a tape player. Not a tape recorder/player, just a player. This connects to the existing receiver, using the built-in amplifier. If the receiver is followed by a booster, so much the better. Tape players range from budget-priced to outrageous. Still, the greater the number of operating options, the greater the cost, and so what anyone buys is what anyone can afford. Given the choice of a cassette player vs 8-lrack cartridge, the auto sound user should opt for cassette. Eight-track is for a captive audience that must buy prerecorded tapes. Cassette players offer more flexibility since they will accept prerecorded and the “made at home” variety. Some audiophiles now make two cassette dubbings; one for in-home hi/fi use, the other for the car, working from records onto tapes. For those who aren’t satisfied with the acoustic environment of the car, equalizers are available. They are a bit of a luxury, but considering what the car interior does to some audio frequencies, may be put into the necessity category. Midrange tones aren’t much of a problem, but bass and treble can be. In any listening environment, that environment gets its “hands” on the sound first; what is left over is what the listener gets. An equalizer helps redress the imbalance. In a car, highly directive treble tones may go sailing right over the heads of the listeners simply because positioning of the speakers permits no other option. An equalizer can supply treble boost, especially for compositions that are delicate in the treble to begin with. At the bass end of the sound spectrum, the equalizer is a worthy opponent of all the plush and carpeting that make a greedy grab for deep tones Martin Clifford Video Discs The Beam Meets concerns putting up research and development funds for the hardware.

Of the two, MCA has evolved by far the more fascinating technology. RCA’s version, while a hundred bucks or so cheaper, is basically a variation on the standard record stylus, with a diamond needle picking up impulses in much the same way as conventional stereos do. MCA, on the other hand, has gone a long way toward bringing Star Wars gimcrackery into America’s living rooms.

The band's guiding light was Ian Hunter, whose highly personalized visions were filled with resignation but simultaneously possessed an inspirational quality, a sense of carrying on in spite of overwhelming odds. After a brilliant debut album in collaboration with ex-Bowie guitarist Mick Ronson, Hunter’s solo career slid downhill and he seemed fated for the obscurity reserved for those who are ahead of the times. But You're Sever Atone with a Schizophrenic finds him reunited with Ronson on a new label and with a new lease on artistic life. Schizophrenic doesn’t break any new ground. Hunter instead has chosen to retrench on the fertile musical turf that made his first solo effort so memorable. Rather than the slashing guitars of yore, the sound here is firmly anchored by the E Street rhythm section and the focus on Hunter's /evocative vocals. “just Another Night" and “Wild East” are characteristically incisive urban street travelogues while “When the Daylight Comes" is a gently effective re-write of the Sweet Jane” riff. "Cleveland Rocks" is the alburn's hardest rocker and a text-book example of Hunter's slyness (notice how the chorus almost imperceptibly shifts to “England Rocks" during one section). But the pinnacle is "Standin' in My Eight," a haunting description of his internal struggles about returning to the performing arena marked by the kind of simple but majestic musical framework Hunter has always been so adept at creating. Schizophrenic is a very solid, enjoyable album with few weak links. While it’s true some of the punk bands have replaced him as spokesman for restless youth, Hunter proves here that he still has a linger on the emotional pulse of the times. It’s great to see him back in command, and both of me heartily recommend the LP. Don Snowden Allen Lubbock (on Everything) (Fate Records) Terry Now, I don’t expect anyone to believe me when 1 say that this is the best country-rock album I’ve ever heard, but, then, a man’s gotta do what a man’s gotta do, so I hereby say that this is the best country-rock album I’ve ever heard, and I don’t care if anyone believes me or not. Allen’s voice is modest but it never misses, never jars. It is folksy and wise-ass without ever gelling tiresome. On piano he sounds like Leon Russell with seven fingers missing. The real thing is the songs (this is a tworecord set, and there arc a lot of them—21 in all), mostly about growing up in Texas, being an artist and the continuity of relationships and discontinuity of love. They’re full of humor and beautiful imagery and sometimes strikingly sad lines. Writing of a football hero gone bad in “The Great Joe Bob (A Regional Tragedy),” Allen tells us, “First he lost his scholarship / To lexas Tech / For drinking during training / An' breaking the coach’s neck . . . / Then he got suspended for acting obscene / Around the Cum-Laudy Cum-Laudy / Daughter of the Dean." In “The Wolfman of Del Rio" the kind of song Jackson Browne might have written if he’d spent more time with teenage Mexican hookers when he was a kid and less time with Nico —he writes, “She look her first release / On the back sear / Of a 1961 black V-8 Ford / An' she just give up all In control / On that vinyl luck-an’-roll . . The Girl Who Danced Oklahoma,” his hero . . met her at a party / For a paihter / She was naked and siltin’ in this chair / That comes from France . . In “My Amigo,” he writes bluntly, “I need money / I need love / 1 need a Cadillac / To give me a shove . . . / Yeah cause I know / My ego / Ain't my amigo — / Anymore.” Production (by "Everyoneon this record”) imaginative in a quiet way. Musicians include the spectacular Joe Ely and various people from his band, and some stand-out guitar work on one track by Luis Martinez.

Colman Andrews is neat and very On A Misty Night John Coltrane (Prestige) The two sessions represented on this double album package are from 1956 and feature Coltrane as a sideman on brief sabbatical from the Miles Davis band. We hear a hardbopping Trane whose brieflenure with Miles has given him a professionalism and sharpened his improvising wits. The first record was originally titled ‘Tenor Conclave" with Trane as one of four frontline tenor men. The others are A1 Cohn, Hank Mobley and Zoot Simms —an interesting ensemble of “four brothers.” Cohn and Simms are more cool, working out of the Eester Young tradition, while Mobley and .ssic Miles Davis quintet of the midand more recently with Herbie Han/.S.O.P. Quintet, yet his own career as irtist has not exactly been meteoric, is due mainly to two reasons. First, in y of Guinness Book record-consciouscedy drummers, Tony Williams plays what is necessary, not what is the most flashy. Secondly, and most important, is his sporadic recording output under his own name. The joy of Flying is his first album in three years, but he more than makes up for lost time with it. This album could be the one that brings Williams his own legion of fans. All the right ingredients are included. As John McLaughlin did on Electric Guitarist Ibny has assembled an all-star cast, with , t different groupings rather than one large blow-out jam band. The sound is commercial enough to generate airplay and gain a wide audience, yet even the most ardent critic of electronic jazz/rock will be hard put to come up with major criticisms against Joy’s music As with everything Tony lays his sticks to, The Joy of Flying has taste. George Benson, Tom Scott, Herbie Hancock, Stanley Clarke and Jan Hammer all bring their unique identities to the music, and the results are never less than stirring Benson especially cuts loose, attaining a clearer, harder tone than he has used in quite some time. The most interesting cuts, however, are the two side-closers. Side one ends with “Open Fire,” an all-out hard-rock guitar free-for-all featuring Ronnie Montrose and Brian Auger that was recorded very much alive in Tokyo, Japan. It proves that Tony can rock out when he wants. Side two closes with what should prove to be the classic cut from this album. It’s “Morgan’s Motion,” an aural travel through mountains and valleys of sound, created spontaneously by pianist Cecil Taylor and lour de force (and short enough for airplay), and is reason alone to buy the album. If nothing else, The Joy of Flying should help Cecil Taylor reach a mass audience, along with Tony Williams. And that would be doubly nice.

The new things brewing in Johnny’s kitchen are most evident in “The Unknown Dissident,” a highly emotive cut featuring spirited exchanges with seamless transitions between saxophone and guitar In a startling break from “God-consciousness” tradition, McLaughlin ends this melancholy ballad with sounds of execution the grating noise of a jail cell door, footsteps, and finally a gunshot in the distance. The juxtaposition of this political commentary against the expressive moans of the guitar bluesy bending and serpentine phrases—-makes this the most powerful cut on the album. — — — Gideon Bosker Orleans Forever (Infinity / MCA) According to a recent advertisement in the record business trades, “The new Orleans sounds better than theold Orleans!” Well, the old Orleans sounded very good, notwithstanding the fact that the lyrics by the — group’s since-departed leader John Hall were the most vacuous scribblings this side of Toto. They were fun songs for driving along on a Sunday afternoon infectious, upheat and nourishing as a Twinkie. The new Orleans is not nearly so brighteyed and squeaky-clean in sound as was the old Orleans, but the band, as presented on Forever , still bounces along to a happy beat that would make Elvis Costello puke. Its latest songwriting honchos Marilyn Mason with guitarist Larry Hoppen, pianist ‘Bald Man” Leinbach and organist R.A. Martin—have an acute ear for human pain, the agony of love and the torment of loss. After blather like “Still the One,” which was best used as the theme for the past ABC season, it’s good to see Orleans dealing with genuine sentiment and emotion. With any luck, their sound will follow obediently be— — Trane carve out rough-hewn statements. With Red Garland, Paul Chambers (also on leave from Miles), and drummer Art Taylor, this record cooks, notably so during Cohn’s sexy first chorus on “How Deep Is the Ocean?” Tadd Dameron was the consummate bebop arranger and an important composer in modern jazz. His recorded material, however, has been re-issued under everyone’s name but his: Fats Navarro, Dizzy Gillespie, Miles, Gil Evans, and now Coltrane. This LP was titled Mating Call and Trane was the only horn player backed by Dameron on piano, bassist John Simmons and Philly Joe Jones. Dameron wasn’t a great soloist and pretty much sticks to his “arranger’s piano” here, allowing Coltrane plenty of room to stretch. The title track is an easy-swing jaunt, Romas" is a low-down blues, “Super Jet” is boppish and features a tough Philly Joe. All of the compositions are rife with Dameron’s hallmark: beauty Kirk Silsbee and jazz predominating, representative of what McLaughlin calls “new jazz roots bubbling within.” Borrowing from mainstream fusion melodies that twist through sharp and mostly gentle turns, these new tunes are imbued with blues-inspired lyricism.• “Miles Davis’ is a funky fusion piece set in a Mahavishnu mode, propelled by the drumming of Tony Smith. Just when the music threatens to bury itself in an avalanche of percussion, it is resurrected by a carefully harmonized movement led by McLaughlin, who peels off birdlike cries of melody much like Miles himself ‘Electric Dreams, Electric Signs” opens with a sublime impressionistic soundscape which draws inspiration from Roy Buchanan's M essiuh Comes Home Again.” With L.

Something different is cooking in Johnny’s kitchen. What is new on Dreams is a bold political statement as well as a fruitful merger of East- It’s probably annoying for a young singer/ songwriter like Rickie Lee Jones to be compared to the leading lights in her field —particularly when her own work displays a singular sense of craft, of poetry, and an emotional, wry intelligence. Nonetheless, there are some readily apparent influences: the short-story scenarios of Randy Newman, the moody soul colorings of Laura Nyro, the rhythmic lyricism ofjoni Mitchell and the scruffy lifestyle that pervades Tom Waits’ �» June, 1979 work. But Rickie Lee Jones rarely strikes an imitative pose she’s listened to other people’s records, but her best songs slither out with a natural, jazzy case all her own. From the warmhearted “Chuck E.’s in Love” to the streetwise “Young Blood” to the garage mechanic metaphors for love of “Last Chance Texaco,” Jones’ relaxed, rangy vocals don’t sound forced or affected her singing is tough yet tender, variably erotic, womanly, childlike and demure. The problem with the 24-year-old Jones’ first album lies in its production. Jones’ barroom blues and cruising Chevrolet choruses call for a rougher, more spontaneous jazz combo assemblage-—perhaps a semi-sloppy stand-up bass and funkier piano fills. That’s a minor gripe, though, because the musicianship —while a touch antiseptic—never intrudes. This is, as they say, an impressive — — debut. Steven X.

She’s still as much a fan as a performer But Wave, the follow-up to last year’s breakthrough Easter LP, fails precisely because that sense of abandon is totally absent. For a band that openly admits to worshipping the Stones, the lack of those slashing rhythm guitar chords here is truly mystifying. The material is uninspired, surprisingly lethargic and closer to pomp rock than classic rock & roll—“Citizen Ship” is built around a theme that sounds like an outtakc from the first FXP album. “So You Wanna Be a Rock & Roll Star” may be a positively inspired choice for a cover song —Patti, if anyone, has lived that song—but it never really develops into the tour-de-force it ought to be. Much of the blame goes to producer Ibdd Rundgren. IMive's sound is completely dominated by Richard Sohl’s keyboards and the rhythm section, all but burying Smith’s vocals and certainly making any flashes of lyrical brilliance impossible to discern. What emerges is a more innocent and vulnerable Patti Smith, not the rock roll general marshalling her forces to march on to & final victory. Have is perhaps a misguided effort to consolidate the mainstream rock following Smith acquired with “Because the Night” or a flawed attempt to break new musical ground. But Patti and company have successfully rebounded from substandard efforts in the past and they’ll probably do it again. Don Snowden CLASSICAL ONE LINERS Ed Cray by V Follow the Rainbow (Epic) Until last year when he scored his funky RfifB hit “Reach for It,” George Duke was something of an enigma. After years of touring with Frank Zappa and Billy Cobham, he had acquired qualifications in both the Jazz and rock worlds, but his music was too funky to be called jazz-fusion. Thus Duke became a musical Itylist in search of an audience until “Reach for It” helped bring funk fans into the fold. His subsequent album, Don’t lM Go, tried to follow the successful format he had finSTly established, but wasn’t so strong and diverse as his previous effort. As a result, his name was finally recognized, but his music still seemed erratic. His third Epic release, Follow the Rainbow, shows Duke coming to grips with the fusion he has created. Using the band he has toured with for the past two years, Duke takes a — Masterpieces for Trumpet and OrJ aroque gan, Vol. Ill (Nonesuch) continues the survey by Edward Tarr and George Kent oflittle known gems sometimes stirring, sometimes sober. Vivaldi’s trio sonatas for violin(s) and supporting cast (Columbia Melodiya) are pleasurable entries in the chamber music catalogue. This is undemanding 18th Century Muzak, but stylishly rendered. Trevor Pinnock demonstrates why J.S. Bach’s early tocattas earned the younger composer a formidable reputation as a keyboard player (Archiv). Pinnock’s bright recording of the Chromatic Fantasy here is especially good. Music for Tun Harpsichords by J.S. Bach pedantic curiosities; the sons outdo the father here. Michael Debost and James Galway have at six of Telemann’s sonatas for two flutes (Seraphim), tossing off this tuneful fluff in high style. Flutist Paul Robison impresses more and more with each successive recording. Fler version of Haydn’s complete sonatas for flute and continuo (Vanguard) may not be as flashy as some, but it boasts pervasive musicianship, a rare commodity. middle road between jazz and funk, and this time he comes closest to pulling it off. The opening track, “Party Down,” is more straight funk than fusion, but powered by a fiery rhythm track. The rest of the album strays between hot funk, romantic ballads, and keyboard-dominated Jazzy instrumentals. “I Am for Real” is another straightahead funkcr that succeeds in a “Reach for It” chant vein, while “Funkin’ for the Thrill” is underdeveloped rhythmically and cliched lyrically. “Say That You Will” and “Sunrise” love ballads that flow nicely but suffer from weak lyrics. Another ballad, “Straight from the Heart,” has a sweet summer feel; and while the lyrics are thin they fit the mood Duke is striving for. Of the three instrumen- tals, only “Festival,” a light.

Not so Artur Rubinstein. That titan at nonogenarian age proves with his newest recording of the Beethoven third piano concerto (RCA) that nothing can replace taste ’ and restraint in making music. Beethoven’s fourth symphony (four, an number, means it is a happy one) often gets short shrift from conductors. Not from Eugene Jochum who leads the London Symphony in a loving performance, well recorded and then jumps into a hot Duke solo. While Follow the Rainbow finds Duke mov- ing in a more compatible direction, his weakness as a lyricist is sorely evident. Though he’s one of fusion’s most exciting keyboard wizards, Duke’s lyrics are half-baked wordplays to accompany the riffs.

At a time when Fred Silverman and his scantily clad minions seemed to have television locked into a stranglehold of malignant witlessncss, the folks at MTM Productions, who for seven years elevated the situation comedy to an art form with The For Mary Tyler Moore and Bob Newhart Shows, came through again with good scripts, multi-dimensional characters and exceptional ensemble acting; Kd Asner as gruff but good-hearted Grant; harried Mason Hume as Charlie, the managing editor; Nancy Marchand as Mrs. Pynchon, the elegantly acerbic publisher; Daryl Anderson as Animal, the grubby photographer; Jack Bannon, as Donovan, Grant’s witty, vested assistant; and Linda Kelsey as Billie Newman, the woman reporter who always seems to become emotionally involved in her assignments unlike Robert Walden as Joe Rossi, the paper’s ace reporter, an obnoxious, overbearing sort. Grant’s healthy disdain for Rossi’s personality, coupled with his respect for Rossi’s talents, are evident in many shows; with Donovan’s running commentary on the Harry-0, The Bold Ones, Mary The Tyler Moore and Rockford Files. Walden, additionally, has logged considerable lime in films, including a role in another newspaper drama, All The President’s Men. “Somehow my fate’s tied up with these two professions,” Walden muses beneath the resplendent greenery ofLa Sene, one ofL.A.’s more ostentatious show biz habitats. Looking tanned and refreshed from a recent promotional trip to the Fiji Islands and Australia, the unmarried, Manhattan-born actor is dressed with impeccable casualness in a brown pullover and tweed jacket, setting off nicely his Kenncdy-stylc shock ofhair and glistening brown eyes. Though shbrt of conventional good looks, Walden has a nearly perfect actor’s face, memorable in undcfinable ways, with a quality that lingers long after an initial encounter. “Before I got this job 1 was trying to sell the networks on a show called The Muckrakers about a male/female investigative journalism , team,” he recalls. “1 had Paddy Chayevsky lined up for the script, but when the inevitable delays developed, he dropped out and started writing Altered Slates. I still might do it, though,” he adds, perusing the wine list. Although he never worked professionally as a reporter, Walden seems singularly well suited for the role of Rossi, whom he calls, with an actor’s habitual pride transference, “the best writer on the paper, without a doubt.” Aside from teaching acting at San Francisco’s American Conservatory Theatre a few years ago, Walden is a scriptwriter between jobs and has .also contributed to a number of newspapers nationally and interaction, this “personality conflict” provides nationally, including the New York Times low-key humor in an otherwise dramatic Sunday Magazine. “1 never write about show series. business,” he asserts. “I see that as a direct Like most other members of the cast, both conflict of interest.” With a storyteller’s love of anecdote, he Kelsey and Walden have had extensive recounts his recent experience with Australtraining in summer stock and oif-Broadway theater as well as on the tube, with a variety ian journalism. “When I got over there I was of guest spots on shows such as Rhoda, asked to do a piece for a big daily in Sydney, — so I gave them a piece about my recollections of bomb drills in school. 1 was sure everytime I heard that alarm go off that it was the real thing . . . lights out time.

They ran the first paragraph.” His laugh is appropriately dazzling, displaying well-tended teeth the television indus— try’s truest measure of success. “The show is required viewing in some journalism schools,” he continues, still on the subject of his own and Lou Grant’s journalistic credentials. “I think that’s because we go to great lengths to present the workaday side of what many people consider to be a glamour industry. A lot of times on Lou Grant, being a reporter seems positively pedestrian. For example, I think All The President’s Men glamorized the business far more than Lou Grant ever does. As far as acting and reporting goes, I think being an actor for 15 years really helped me play Rossi. Both professions involve observing minute behavioral details. Also, there is a tremendous amount of research necessary to do either job properly. In my experience, the research is sometimes the most exciting aspect of the job.” Conversation strays into the success of the scries and television’s current state of health. “Lou Grant is a hit show because there is an absolute dearth of intelligent programming in America,” Walden flatly states. “Greed is the prevailing motivation . . . the profit motive, but that’s obvious/Beyond the fact that there is hardly any violence and no car chases, Lou Grant works because in it we’re part of a bureaucracy that almost anyone who works for a living can identify with.” “We have one of the few shows where people can accept there not being an answer. It has no set formula, it’s not a comedy or a drama, but it’s got elements ofboth. That, in itself, is very unusual. There was a time when all we were doing was splashing around in an beach house in Malibu where I do my writing. I may even gel a business manager. I’m happy with the way things are for the time being.” \ic Docs he ever experience the fear of typecasting, of being tied to one role for the rest of his professional life? His answer reflects confidence that appears to be Walden’s predominant personality trait. “1 know my own versatility,” he replies, ‘‘I’ve played everything . . . junkies, hillbillies, physical and mental cripples.

It’s not something that keeps me up at night.” Lunch over, Walden passes the check, without a glance, to the MTM publicist, ‘I’m grateful for Lou Grant he concludes, ‘and I think the people who watch the show are also. I’ve been all over the place and when I talk to them their attitude is, ‘thank * ...

Somewhere between charm and aloofness, Linda relates an embarrassing moment. “It was on a plane, coming back from Minnesota after visiting my family,” she recalls. “I was sleeping when 1 heard some voices whispering. They were saying something like, ‘Do you think that’s really her?’ and ‘She looks just like on TV’ I realized then that I was lying there with my mouth wide open, snoring probably, and when I opened my eyes, two men were standing over me smiling. ‘You’re that litle reporter, aren’t you?’ they said.

MANHATTAN, starring Woody Allen, Diane Keaton, Michael Murphy, Mariel Hemingway; written by Allen fif Marshall Brickjman; directed by Allen DREAMER,starring Tim Matheson, Susan Blakely Jack Warden; written byjames Proctor If Woody Allen deliberately set out to court Take and win the American film-going public, he has perhaps succeeded beyond his own wildest fantasies. He’s surely America’s Sweetheart, the most admired, endearing, lovable neurotic on our screens, and with Manhattan , his stature as a filmmaker grows ever more impressive without sacrificing one decilitre of personal lovable-ness. Manhattan is photographed by cinematographer Gordon Willis (often dubbed the Prince of Darkness) in brilliant black and white; the city doesn’t look this good in living color. The music is lushly orchestrated Gershwin; combined with the stark bridges and skyscrapers, it made me yearn for a stroll through Central Park. Allen’s character is again the neurotic intellectual who masks his insecurities with jokes, but this is not a comedy, even though there are hilarious moments. Allen is dealing with love, and how people find it, lose it, use it and screw it up through their confused need for self-centered gratification or a confused sense of what’s right and honest. In the beginning Allen loves 17-year-old Hemingway and she loves him; his best friend, Murphy, loves Keaton, though he’s happily married to Anne Byrne. Allen rejects Hemingway— she’s too young; Murphy rejects Keaton he’s loo married; Allen then loves Keaton, who later rejects him he’s not Murphy. The general theme, explored briefly in Interiors , is that people run amok when they listen to their minds and not their hearts. Allen’s voice opens this film as his character tries to begin his first novel using New York as a metaphor for his novel’s hero; we laugh, but Allen then does it seriously: like his city, his characters are striking, accomplished, brilliant, dazzling . . and messed up. Allen makes us laugh and then cry, gently prods us into seeing the Futility of It All, but underlines the pain and the wisecracks with a devastatingly romantic score. If Allen is ever hard up for feminine companionship, which seems unlikely, he should just stand outside a theatre playing Manhattan. Almost every woman emerging would follow him anywhere. Or at least around the block a few times Judith Sims — — ' . & & Larry Bischof; directed by Noel Nosscck. Rocky change the locale to Alton, III. and the sport to bowling, Ronald Reagan would have refused to speak in Knute Rockne, All-American and presto! You have Dreamer, a film best described as a major league waste of time. Tim Matheson, as Dreamer, a young bowler whose heart is set on making it to the top, seems so uncomfortable in his role that one can only conclude that he made the mistake of reading the script all the way through , , and is looking for a place to hide. And, hoo boy, what a script. With lines like “I’ll never understand women” as a high point, (it must be a high point, it appears in some form at least three times during the film), the cast isn’t given much to work with. The comedy relief is provided by Dreamer’s two Mexican co-workers down at the bowling alley. One yells at the other in Spanish, the other answers in Knglish. Boffo yocks, right? The movie has its moments. “Spider,” a local pool hustler, played by Matt Clark, is a thoroughly likeable guy who thinks that he can cover himself in glamour by selfbestowing a nickname. Jack Warden’s portrayal of the local bowling pro who pushes Dreamer on so he can bask in the reflected glory shows the competence one would expect of Warden, but not much more. And Susan Blakely, as Dreamer’s bitchy, jealous girlfriend, almost captures the character of the “small town girl.” Almost. But with the deathly slow pace, the bowling shots taken from every conceivable angle, the unfalteringly hideous script, and the annoying habit of inserting the allegedly inspiring theme song (sort of rock’s answer to “Climb Every Mountain”) every time Dreamer turns around, we are talking about a multi-megaton bore.

Merrill Schindler , ioltny successful movie love story is the degrtftko which we dare about the two protagonists, it we respond to the lovers, the movie is just about home free. This movie has the considerable charm of Michael Ontkean, last seen in Slapfihai on television’s The Rookies and Amy "ftviflg, who wept bloody crazy in The Fury, together they create that elusive quality known as scretdl chemistry, not unlike the sparks generated in the good old days by Henry Fonda and Margaret Sullivan or Robert Walker and Judy Garland. The story is hackneyed, but a fresh approach to a conventional happy-ending love story is almost impossible. In this variation we have Ontkeah as a would-be rock singer, a kind of Billy Joel still looking for his voice, and Irving as a teacher of deafchildren who is overprotected by her concerned mother. Ontkean is out to find a princess in New jersey, and Irving needs a printe who can waken her from her long sleep.

After all, he’s a would-be singer who drives the delivery truck for his father’s cleaning shop; she’s deaf, and so vulnerable looking it’s a wonder she doesn’t just blow away in a strong breeze. She’ll never hear his music; and, anyway, her mother thinks he’s a bum. The plot needs something to keep Drew from getting to Rosemarie’s dance audition on time so, presto! His gambler father is suddenly pursued by Chicago-stylc gamblers who are going to break both his legs; the distraught father sets the cleaning shop on fire to collect insurance, and Drew must run to the shop to put out the fire, while poor deaf Rosemarie —who never really wanted to be a dancer anyway—is humiliated. At which point a soot-stained Drew shows up and, in the best Rocky tradition, tells the dance master to turn the volume up real high and turn the speakers to the floor. Presto yet again Rosemarie dances like Nurcyev without an ounce of effort.

Recently, there has been a push from city officials and local merchants to close the Center and move it out of the downtown theater district. Mayor James Griffin said last summer that the street people don’t belong in what he envisions to be the ritzy cultural part of the city. “What theater district? Who’s fooling who?” Lum demands. “Griffin thought that the Center made for a bad atmosphere. But these people were here long before that Studio Arena was a theater.” The City Council, however, opposes Griffin’s desires to evict the Center from the street people’s domain.

If he decides to step down, how will a Presidential search be carried out? Is the weight of this decision affecting Ketter’s performance? Contrary to previous reports, the President does not have to be re-appointed for another five year term. Initially appointed by the SUNY Board of Trustees, every President must undergo an extensive evaluation beginning four years after his previous evaluation. So Ketter, appointed President in 1970 and re-evaluated in 1974-75, must announce by September 19 whether he wishes to undergo a formal evaluation. If a SUNY President does not wish to be re-evaluated, according to Assistant Deputy to the Chancellor Robert Spencer, then “it can safely be read” that he no longer wishes to occupy the Presidency.

The Great Abortion Debate began last Summer, when Sub Board elected to include mandatory abortion coverage in its student health insurance policy for the first time. The inclusion of abortion which cost $1 per student coverage incensed many when they learned they were being forced to pay for a procedure that violated their moral or religious beliefs. Opponents of the policy charged Sub Board with deliberately making such a potentially volatile decision during the Summer, when many students are not on campus. Then Chairman of Sub Board, Jane Baum, vowed that an exhaustive effort would be made to ensure adequate student input for the 79-80 policy, although she maintained that Sub Board had initially included the abortion coverage after first obtaining student opinion. — — Baum broke tie On March 8, a loud, opinionated crowd filled Squire Hall’s Haas Lounge to tell the Sub Board Board of Directors how they felt. Those who favored the mandatory coverage were clearly in the majority that evening, but it still took vote to break a The (summer]) “It was the most difficult decision 1 had to make all year,” Baum said after the vote. “The decision was a very complicated one. 1 considered the rights of both sides and feel that the consideration for the total health care of all students was most important.” The Health Insurance Advisory Committee, appointed by Ketter and charged with okaying the plan, preferred to wait until its telephone survey of students was completed. But the survey itself spawned controversy. The Coalition for Abortion Rights and Against Sterilization Abuse (CARASA) the main advocates for mandatory coverage claimed that one of the questions on the survey predisposed the respondent to answer in favor of - — optional abortion coverage. Associate Professor of Social and Preventive Medicine Robert O’Shea, who designed the first draft of the survey questions and supervised the survey process, was absolutely satisfied that the survey was accurate in judging student opinion. “It seems to me that student opinion is very strongly for an option,” O’Shea said. Along came Leavy But despite the survey results, the Advisory Committee approved the policy as Sub Board presented it; and it seemed that only Ketter’s signature was needed before the policy became official. But then along came Tony Leavy.

Fri. 12:30 5:00 pm) - - { u 51 �editorial * jyfridayfridayfridayfri Light steps grow heavy Everyone is stepping lightly The SUNY Board of Trustees undoubtedly wants an evaluation procedure that accurately gauges campus sentiment and support for a campus president. SUNY Chancellore Clifton R. Wharton wants to ensure that for the benefit of each SUNY institution especially UB, where severe fiscal constraints are burdening development, let alone the status quo a strong leader occupies the Presidency. Yet Wharton doesn't want to drastically alter the evaluation process for presidents, and in so doing, offend the incumbents, possibly unleashing a torrent of political infighting. So the Council of Presidents' subcommittee proposal calling for a revamping of the presidential evaluation procedures is a compromise. The proposal brings in an outside team of presidents, a new perspective, one that is not bound by campus jealousies or SUNY bickerings. It shortens the length of the evaluation procedure from one year to reducing the length of time a president must six months watch his step, fearing to offend the campus community. It makes the President's "Statement of Stewardship" a public document one that can be carefully scrutinized and criticized. However, the proposal also eliminates the direct role that campus constituencies will have in evaluating the incumbent president. The people most directly affected by the president no longer will be ensured a say in whether he should continue. Everyone assumes that they will be consulted, buy no longer will students, faculty, and staff make direct recommendations to the College Council the body responsible for the ultimate YES or NO recommendation to the SUNY Trustees. The Faculty Senate here has notified the Trustees of its concern. The proposed procedure has its advantages, but campus constituencies MUST have a direct role, a direct a pipeline, one that is not mediated by an outside team team of three presidents who may be more concerned with what the President has done, rather than what he hasn't or could have, or would like to do. The Trustees should well heed the UB Faculty Senate's advice and recognize "the importance of preserving, as a matter of Trustees' policy, formally established procedures that assure an opportunity for the meaningful participation of faculty, staff, and students in the process of reappointment reviews of incumbent presidents." In the meantime, University President Robert Ketter is stepping lightly, carefully looking both ways before crossing anyone's path, trying not to step on anyone's toes. This is not strong leadership. The President should put his foot down on Vice Presidents Bunn and Pannill's absurd proposal for a Council of Undergraduate Education. Health Science undergraduate authority, along with all undergrad programs, belongs under the jurisdiction of one man the Dean of Undergraduate Education. Ketter should start making some decisions and public explanations such as why the asbestos in Baird Hall hasn't been removed. Do we have to wait for external pressures to climax, for the Dental School's accreditation to be placed in jeopardy, before the University President acts definitively with courage? Stepping lightly can be explained, but the stairs still creak — — — — — — — — — — . . . The Spectrum Vol. 30, No. 2 Friday, 15 June 1979 Editor-in-Chief Daniel S.

Syndicate, Los Angeles by Robert Basil A few times in a writer’s professional lifetime, he will be grabbed, by a subject so profound, natural and pertinent that he merely has to grasp a pen and the words will spill onto the page like an orgasmic flood. Sorry to report, but this writer certainly hasn’t had one of those experiences for a while. Occasionally, however, I do become immersed in a sort of literary afterglow. But this condition has a price; one bus ticket. And this ethereality is only fully guaranteed in the long, dark and warm back seat. Definitely, the back seat is the best seat This I learned while on a seventy-five hour long Greyhound bus ride to the Yukon last August. Thoughts congeal (and sometimes smell) over such a long still period. Yes, a Greyhound bus is a veritable microcosm of human affairs: fertile ground for creative thought. Quick, shady affairs are rampant. A romance can be established in Toronto, explored in Thunder Bay and consumated in Winnepeg. Great stuff for the Harlequin publishers. The back seat is definitely the best seat. Except for the toilet. This 1 learned while taking a Trailways to Rochester, trying to come up with some unique story ideas. Just after the bus left port, this obese lady, with a black Zeppo Marx wig on bent peculiarly to one side, exposing grey curls led a caravan of two boys and a girl to the back of the bus for toidy time. I had already checked the bathroom out. A strange one here: no sink (or sipable handi-wipes) and awkward door handles . . For some reason, one has to lock the door in order to turn on the toidy light. But for these cherubs, it was impossible to lock the door in the dark The mother couldn’t figure it out either, so she decided to “hold it.” However, the wiggling children were insistent. Wearing a white woolen cap and Sears Toughskins, the oldest boy of about eight skulked inside, whining, “I can’t see.” I was worried. My notepad was blank - — . % “Cut the crying and grow up,” curdled the mother “Mom! Oh no .. “Quick, at least sit down. It has to go in somewhere.” Maybe if the mother had kept the door closed, the stifling stench could have confined itself to the immediate area of the misaimed stream of missies. Instead, she kept poking her head through the door, sending slices of light into the murky recesses of the toilet, screeching at the child to “finish it.” When the first child was finally done, he was abruptly dragged by his ear back to the front seat. Now’s my chance, I thought, to conjure up majestic fantasies about the beautiful adolescent girl a couple seats in front of me and get some writing done; I could my heart thudded irregularly even ask her for a piece of gum. But there were two kids left. I figured that 1 could employ high collegiate reasoning to the second Duke while the Mom wasn’t around to boy interfere. As my feet squished and slid on the soiled floor, I told him how to work the light and lock the door. He yipped with delight. Carla, his sister, writhed next to me. Duke had better be quick, I thought. I was worried. Carla was sitting on my pad. Just as the mother returned, Duke panicked. I had forgotten to instruct him how to open the door and he was locked inside. With the fury of an angered bear, the mother ripped, tugged and brutalized the door. Passengers were annoyed. A baby was crying. Duke burst through the door, fly down, and was slapped silly by his mother. I turned to Carla. She was strangely calm as she was hoisted from the back seat. My notepad was soaked. My creativity was also quite dampened at this point. No Harlequin romance.

No, not to take home, but to visit at the Buffalo Zoological Gardens. Maybe it is not the San Diego Zoo, but with the price of gas today, it is cheaper to go to, especially on a “free day.” All the standards are there, from the Buffalo-born giraffes to LaCoste alligators. It is also an opportunity to see the new polar bears purchased through a community fund drive. A special feature is the Children’s'Zoo for kids of all ages who like to feed and touch such animals as horses, rabbits, goats and camels. The zoo’s 23 acre site can be visited all summer long from 10 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Normal admission is $1.50 for adults. Student priced zoological society memberships are available that entitle you to free admission to zoos and aquariums in both the U.S. and Canada. The zoo is located in Delaware Park just off the intersection of Colvin and Amherst. It is a relatively short ride (about 15 minutes) from the Main St. Campus. Just travel west (toward downtown) on Main Street, hang a right on Hertel, then a left on Colvin and continue past Amherst St. right to the entrance to the zoo. Traveling by bus is also a breeze. When you board the Metro 8 and 8A, ask the driver for a transfer slip. Get off at Main and Amherst Streets, and for that transfer slip and a nickel more (no wooden nickels, please), you can ride the bus that travels down Amherst to Colvin Ave. If you have any problems finding the zoo, just look for one of the many new signs the City has posted pointing the way. (They must have known we were going to write this column.) After a day at the zoo, you should be able to identify the kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus, and species of the animal depicted of the signs. � • • • * If you have got the time, and the weather is conducive to outdoor fun and frolic, pack a picnic lunch and take advantage of Delaware Park after your visit to the zoo. It is the most spacious of the Buffalo parks and features a lake where model boat races can be seen. The park has picnic areas, with grills, but if you forget your lunch, nearby not-so-cheap vendors will be glad to supply food and drink. If you have kids to entertain or feel like a kid yourself, you can enjoy one of the several playgrounds. One of these areas features original sculptures that can be climbed, scaled, conquered, rode or taken to another galaxy. The park is also a fine area to take an auto-free jog. However, joggers are not exempt from stray golfballs, baseballs, softballs, tennis balls, frisbees, or unsuccessful kites and model airplanes. Bikers have their own trails. Later in the summer, the lakeside is the site for the UB Theater Department’s annual “Shakespeare in the Park” series.

This letter is in reply to the notice I received earlier this month from your division. The notice concerned my PhD degree being held up until September because the outside reader’s letter came in after the May 1 deadline. I find it absolutely reprehensible that after all the academic striving, scholarly undertaking, successful finishing and defending of my dissertation, filing all the proper forms, jumping through all the bureaucratic hoops and busting my ass to complete all the requirements for a June 1 degree, you have come up with one more insignificant obstacle to my finishing my program. My advisor had assured me previously that he had never before heard of a degree being held up for the reason stated in your notice. A letter was sent to my advisor from the outside reader prior to May 1. However, because my advisor neglected to contact the outside reader or forward the letter himself to the graduate school, I have to wait again. You may claim that this is my advisor’s fault, and that may be partially true, but I was under the impression that the support services at a university were meant to help the student finish a degree program, not just wait until he missed a deadline to tell him that he just blew it. A phone call to me, to my advisor, or to the outside reader as soon as this omission was noticed would have avoided the problem. Is the time and expense of a phone call from you too much to ask after I have spent five years working toward a degree? This situation is outrageous. Instead of the phone call, I received a notice that was mailed two weeks after the deadline. Furthermore, after notifying all pertinent university divisions and departments of address changes, I still receive mail via outdated addresses, which must then be forwarded. This makes it impossible for me to respond to communications promptly or in time to make any difference in that which has already occurred. 1 realize that it is a rare occurrence (if, indeed, it ever happens) that several university divisions coordinate their activities, but 1 am going to attempt to secure such cooperation one more time; Yes, I do intend to receive a PhD from SUNY at Buffalo as soon as possible (which should be September 1, 1979, at the very latest). Please be as thorough as 1 have tried to be in informing me prior to the deadlines as to whether there are any requirements (forms, degree cards, registration, bills, etc.) which have not yet been fulfilled. I look forward to your cooperation and consideration. Charles Pearlman 3 9 - �CD * a.

Several groups, the including New York Educators — exam while cost would rise. Assembly roadblock Steve Cary, a lobbier for the Truth in Testing bill, argues that testers must be accountable to the public, and that efforts by the Educational Testing Service (ETS), Association and the New York Public Interest and Research Group (NYPIRG), hope to tame what they see as an overpowerful corporation through the support of “Truth in Testing” legislation. The Truth in Testing bill, under consideration by the State Senate, would require in corporations specializing standardized testing to provide students with copies of test questions and the correct answers after the exam in addition to their scores. These corporations would also have to explain the meaning of the results, their possible usage, and the validity of the tests. Opponents of the bill claim testers will be hampered by additional administrative expenses imposed by the bill’s passage, as well as their inability to re-use test questions. Many also argue that the bill marks an intrusion of government into the realm of purely educational matters. “a monopoly,” veritable in lobbying almost “devious.” The ETS, formed in 1948, develops and scores tests for admission into law school (LSAT’s), for admission to graduate against the bill were (GRE’s), achievement tests, as well as the SAT’s used primarily for College entrance criteria. The Medical Boards (MCAT’s) are given by the American College Testing Service, described by Cary as a “weak sister” to the powerful ETS. ETS has also been accused of measuring a student’s ability to memorize in its tests rather than accurately gauging aptitude. Educators are examining if “cram courses,” such as the Stanley Kaplan review classes, thus, invalidating the improve test scores ETS claim that SAT’s measure aptitude. The proposed bill does not cover achievement tests, only those tests used for Originally, decisions. admission achievement tests were included, according to lobbier Cary, but since achievement tests cost more than most other tests, they were removed from the bill in what Cary call a “sound political concession.” Groups supporting the .bill argue that creating new questions would not be as much of a burden as the testing - Quality drop? In an official statement of opposition to the bill, the director of the College Board Richard D. Rooney defended the right of testing corporations to keep the questions and answers confidential.

There comes a time when the norm is undesirable. At this point, alternatives are essential. Currently, a multitude of independent labels have formed in this country in attempts to push the American out of the underground closet. Simultaneously, large record labels waste time, effort and artistic energies promoting old stalwarts, hit and run fads and force-fed trends. The cultures become streamlined: PEOPLE ARE TOLD WHAT TO FOLLOW RATHER THAN TOLD TO CHOOSE. The purpose of this vehicle is to expose the independents, good or bad, as well as the monoliths (especially those that go “gold” before anyone has heard them). Very simply, the big companies are "dinosaurs,” the artists and independent producers are "gazelles" "small mobile intelligent units."

OASIS IN THE HEAT; Occasional cloudiness and drizzle did nothing to cool the Festival this weekend, with temperatures clinging to the upper eighties. Some restaurants and snack booths overcharged willing customers for soda pop, lemonade and ice cream. The old gat pump outside the Cloister Bar (above) probably had patrons drooling at the unheard price of 16 cents a gallon.

A strange way to say hello perhaps, but actually a very apt question for a festival whose artistic i aspect is, at the very least, matched by its commercial aspect. The plain fact is that the Festival is schizophrenic, a body wearing two masks. For most of us, it is a short exuberant yell of life in this city. It is also a merchant’s wet dream. The Festival has become a basketball up for the toss between factions, each holding one of those views as gospel, each straining to gain possession. And neither side is winning. Allentown is ripe for conflict. Throughout the country, art festivals are held in parks or in spaces where there is little conflict between the right of the artisan to sell his wares and the right of the merchant to sell his. Allentown, however, is filled with scrappy, young entrepreneurs working on establishing an economic bulkhead in that community. Not to use this unusual opportunity to highlight their goods runs against the very grain of their business sense. Recently, though, a spokeswoman for the merchants spoke angrily, hinting that the merchants might withdraw their support from the Festival if they weren’t allowed to sell their goods from the sidewalk as well as from their stores. “We will not be treated like second-class citizens,” she stated in the manner of a menacing ultimatum. Times like these, the Festival turns ugly. But the vital nature of the Festival must not be obscured; the Festival does not exist in Allentown solely because those merchants are there. And if necessary, it may have to do without them. Do without the merchants? It would be worlds better if both the stalls and shops in Allentown were able to cooperate; but as so often happens among hungry factions, they compete for sole ownership of the big annual feeding. 4 I This year there was a compromise; the merchants agreed to confine their selling to inside their stores and, after the Festival, to decide whether they would accept the same restraints next year. Practically everyone abided by the agreement this year. When it was violated, however, that patch of the Festival became dark and Catering KJavja But the vital nature of the Festival must not be obscured; the Festival does not exist in Allentown solely because those merchants are there. distasteful, as the police went to enforce the agreement and the individual merchant sunk his boots in to defy the agreement. Next year, if the internal pressures between the Allentown Village society and the Allentown businessmen are not relieved, I fear there may be no grounds for compromise, so great will be the gulf between the two groups. � * * � * The Festival is spirit; 200,000 oeople stfbQg this year. Yes, the art is overwhelmingly commercial, overwhelmingly \afe,’ lacking the soul which makes other major art festivals establishes of aesthetic precedent. For example, unlike Atlanta’s Park Art Festival, in Allentown there isn’t the sense of people’s sake as opposed to art for the buyer’s sake. However, I saw about ten photographs regaling their particular menium, a few pieces of painstakingly crafted ceramics and a couple of accomplished watercolors. That was enough for me for now. And there were the 199,999 of you. You were the most intriguing and enticing of all. I’ll tell you what let’s do it again next year, wherever the Festival is held. And whatever you do, bring a friend.

The Barbarians are a band put together to promote Stones’ guitarist Ron Wood’s new album Gimme Some Neck. Other members of the band that night were Jazz-fusion bassist Stanley Clark, saxophonist Bobby Keyes, former Faces’ keyboardist Ian and McLagan, Joe “Ziggy” Modeliste on drums. The whole Barbarians tour was flooded with rumors of guest appearances by such artists as Jeck Beck, Jimmy Page, Rod Stewart and Mick J agger. But none showed up here. The band’s show consisted mainly of Ron Wood’s solo material. Covering most of the songs from the new album, The Barbarians even ripped through a few from Wood’s previous three albums. In addition to Wood’s material, they did several Stones’ numbers. the Sending Jagger-wishing audience out of their seats with Wood doing the vocals to "Love in fyain,” "Honky Tonk Woman,’’ and "Jumpin’ Jack Flash,” the encore. But Richards was the main attraction. In top form, he moved more in the first minute of this show than he did at the entire Rich Stadium show last July. Holding the audience’s attention, Richard traded off solos with and Clark Keyes Wood, throughout the show. The concert climaxed with Keith’s ripping version of ‘ Before They Make Me Run’’ from Some Girls. After this performance, it was clear that one of rock and roll’s leading and oldest forces is rolling stronger than ever. —Mark Dellas Joe Jackson, 1979 Stage 1, May 22, Joe Jackson and his band put the sharpest shows seen this year at Corky’s Stage One. appreciated by the crowd (which near-capacity included some members of the touring Supertramp excitment, thrills!) for good reason. Their music is upbeat, high-energy rock and roll with a sense of humor, and it was done to perfection. Jackson, writer of all the songs on his excellent debut album, Look Sharp, was very much at Stage ease One’s club in atmosphere. He had an excellent rapport with the audience, as on one of Buffalo has Harvey and They were - stand there and sing. New artists like Jackson don’t have a lot of material and they tend to play songs from their debut albums without much of a change from the recording’s sound. They leave the audience with the feeling that they would have benefited just as much from spending the evening at home with the record. Jackson avoided this pitfall by performing several new songs since “you’ve all bought our album and are sick of playing it.” These tunes were more diverse than those on his current album one a hard rocker, one a ballad, and the best a lively bopper most similar to his previous efforts (it would have been called “power pop” a year ago).

Guitarist Gary Sanford, however, had a distinctly jerky, mechanical style of playing throughout the set, that he rarely abandoned except on particularly hot licks. Incongruous with Jackson’s music as a whole, it therefore seemed to be a pointless affectation he would have looked great with Devo. — ANflCONE’S INN — —continued on A Home Away From Home — — IF YOU WANT TO RELAX AND HAVE A GOOD TIME ANACONE'S INN IS THE PLACE TO DO IT page HEAR 0 ISRAEL 12— — For gems from the Jewish Bible Phone 875-4265 - We have no Hootin, LUCIAN C.

' �oes: Last' movies: a carnival of visual dances Alternatives to the usual summer by Ross Chapman Peter Weir’s latest film, The Last Wave, is like a radiant but innately empty-headed belle who, overheard having enough Rousseau and Nietzsche to feel guilty about her peroxide bangs and painted lips, absently longs for a “natural” state of shamans and charms, of raw meat and dirty Though fingernails. visually accomplished, the photographic bloom of The Last Wave cannot overcome Weir’s dawdling and heavy-footed dance of motifs drawn from the occult genre and at clumsy attempts his profundity. It is, as it were, a ballet performed in hip-boots. A director with considerable command of his medium, this young Australian’s camera work and choice of shots freely mix fancy with fact, giving the film a underwater foreboding, dreaminess. The Last Wave deals with the prescient dreams of a young Sydney lawyer (Richard Chamberlain) and the realization of an aboriginal prophecy of hail storms, perpetual rain, showers of petroleum, and a final apocalyptic wave that "cleanses” Australia of its white culture. Water and nightmare sequences signature the film. In the opening sequence, thunder rumbles from a fare cloudless sky, suddenly exploding into showers and hailstones that pelt an outback schoolhouse, bloodying and terrifying its children. Water seeps sepentinely down the lawyer's stairwell, gushes from his car radio; and torrential downpours douse both the nights and his nightmares until the two states tangle. Holy stones and spiritless whites Dreams, you see, are the stuff this film is made of. In fact, according to the young aborigine whom the lawyer is defending (Chris Gulpilil), there are two parallel streams of time: the normal time in which we live and dream time, a vaguely Platonic realm of eternal laws which uphold our everyday world. Thus Chris tells us that “dreams are the shadows of something real.” While the aborigines retain their ties to this spiritual realm and are even able to vanish into it, whites “don’t even know what dreams are anymore.” With this, Weir (who wrote the screenplay) sets up an antinomy between spiritually dispossessed whites and the rooted aborigines. The lawyer, though he dreams, doesn’t know what they portend. Finally then, he is also spiritually inferior and ripe for apocalyptic enxtinction. (His legal defense of Chris is therefore supposed to be renowned for their subtlety and neither, I fear, will Peter Weir. He lacks the ability to create a tension between what he is showing us and how he is showing us.' His though shots, photographically rapturous, are too easily read and his message becomes brusque. He turns us off the way the man who talks right into our face does. The slow and deliberate film often made me feel like shouting, ‘‘Yes, yes, I get it. Now get on with it!” The opposition of white and aborigine is too stark and unchallenged to be digested. The Last Wave has no guards: no resistance is offered to its fantastic themes. No one expresses any disbelief at the aborigines’ mystical mumbo-jumbo. Richard Chamberlain certainly doesn’t. He is pale, ineffectual, and stuporous he is a man already living underwater long before the last wave arrives. Still, The Last Wave is an interesting work by a young director from a country whose cinema is almost unknown to us. It is pleasing to the eye, the ear, and has its moments for the mind as well. 1 would recommend it then, despite its failings, as an alternative to the usual summer fare. Now playing at the Thruway — some biting irony.) Weir has him kill the film’s hoary shaman, Charlie (Mandjiwarra Amagula), with a holy stone in the aborigine’s underground holy place. He, we see, is the iconographic white man who murders primitve culture. In his previous film, Picnic at Hanging Rock (which never made it to Buffalo) Weir deals with similar concerns just as artfully: girls from a Victorian boarding school meet up with a mysterious rocky bluff that terrifies the and spiritually impoverished claims those still with mystical ties. But by bringing into The Last Wave the topical cultural conflict of European and aborigine, Weir makes a stab at a broader tranceful beyond comment direction. Australians have never been —continued on page 12— Saint Jack' uncanonized It all flows, though by Harold Goldberg Peter Bogdanovich has a flair for fusing a collection into a solid compound, even into opaque complexity. His Saint Jack is a movie pieced together from Paul Theroux’s 1973 novel a feat usually lacking spark, good books usually being more surreal than films. Bogdanovich embellishes this easy story of a good-hearted man who’s almost without a country through photography completely allusionary to the tale (like Daisy Miller). The characters are thus vivified and then highlighted by appropriate music as in The Last Picture Show. Pen Gazzara’s musing, friendly, slightly depressed jack Flowers is a clever bum whose fantasy is to — run a whore house. He’s no Artful Dodger, being more chauvinistic than that; he’s more like his TV character on Run For Your Life. This whole movie, set during the ’Nam War, circa Nixon's visit to China, is about expatriates. Whores go without homes, army men without real love; Chinese hustlers make macho 'moos’ like mafiosos; American stranded Englishmen wail about the down fall of the British Empire. One fights the exaccerbated dreams of the other through violence, charming insults, or hurtful And jokes. every practical Humpty Dumpty tumbles down in sad clown fashion. Jack-of-all-trades Little things in Saint Jack are curious variations of old movie themes. They add a sensual texture. When Flowers attains his dream, some Chinese folks see Flowers as an interloper. They tatoo the good joe’s arms with obscenities. Flowers returns to his cat-mansion, to find it destroyed. Stunned, he looks in the two-wall, full length mirror. Fie, his house and his dream are defaced. So much for the movie with the classic hero. In a homoerotic relationship with anemic buddy William Leigh (Denholm Elliott), Leigh says, in kindred spirit form, that when the war stops, Flowers will be a pitiable jack-of-all-trades. Both these men are failures, both are kind-hearted, but Flowers is in deeper trouble.

Don Cherry, mysterioso man blowing wispish, shattering melodies of earthiest groove, was one of the first Western Musicians (jazz or whatever) to master the Afro & Asian folk Musics for real, rather than play on superficial quotes.

Hopkins Saint Jack living material goods is not business-like. Rather, it’s the belevolence you’d expect to treat a pet with. Flowers’ dream is deceptive; he deceives himself by half-believing in his fantasy for most of the film. Flowers wants to be unimpassioned but nonetheless concerns himself with other people’s plights. What does Flowers do when one of his girls is beaten by a G.I.? Fie understands the serviceman is lonely. Flowers is a starer. Stares when watching sex dancers with "Goldfinger” playing in the background. Stares when his lover leaves. I suppose he’s a happy-go-lucky thinker. Ephemeral at best A key to this obscurity is the simple oxymoron ifi the name Jack Flowers. Jack is obscene slang for venereal disease, and flowers are a time symbol of giving. Flowers can be neither completely good or bad —continued from page 11— . . . with any sense of victory; when he stares, he acts like he knows he can’t distinguish motion with emotion from motion without. So it’s right that Singapore at night is both luminous and murky. And it’s right that chase scenes pass through light and dark maze-like alleys, past punks and kind old people. It all flows. The plot is simple, much like the platitudes of Altman's A Different Story but better than all Burt Reynold’s macho schmo flicks. There is a horrible film edit on the Holiday 5’s print splicing Louis Armstrong’s music so that two notes are missing and two more are distorted. The portrayal of Viet Nam soldiers is credible and sensible, almost stirring. And Flowers is from Buffalo, the mention of which received audience applause. Saint jack is good ephemeral fun.

In fact, he won’t let anyone forget his name. When the public address engraved time. Ten years later I’m sitting in a bull pen well in the first row of the grand stand adjacent to the bullpen. By the way, a bullpen is the place where relief pitchers hang out for the duration of a baseball game, nervously awaiting a chance to come in the game in - the waning innings when a fresh needed. It so happens that this pen, belonging to the Eastern League Buffalo Bisons, is strung out down the left-field line, parallel to the crumbling wooden seats that no one chooses to sit in, except for the pen groupies. Four early teenage girls, who from first glance fit the bill as minor league groupies, join me. Their purpose is to supply peanuts arm is and hot dogs to the players who have seated themselves in floppy folding chairs that are lined up in sets of two and three, appearing to be padded subway seats. The players don’t say much to them; a couple of grunts and an occasional sarcastic retort are usually the day’s conversation. The Bear’ Breining six-five a handlebar mustache accented by a flowing mane of well-groomed Jim Bouton’s escapades in major league baseball written in Fr ed a native of Waco, Texas, who sports wants HOME RUN DISCO: Tha Buffalo Bitons lead the Eastern League in home runs, and at a result have added a little extra to the fence busting occasion. In the above photo, (from left to right) Jerry McDonald, Chick Valley and Al cigarette, quickly destroying the myth that ballplayers don’t smoke. Breining is perhaps the top starter the Bisons have, but on his “days off,” chooses to spend a great deal of time hanging out in the pen. A 24 year old native of San Francisco, he is fairly quiet while watching the game from a distant seat. An occasional batting display, pounding crushed gravel, is his chief claim to mischief making. When the need for excitement up, the Bison bullpen is blessed with the likes of Ricky “Bubba” “the Bear” Evans and James “Jim” Smith. Bubba, six-feet-four inches, a 230 pounds is not likely to remain pops Torres hold slugger Luis Salazar's hands while dancing circles around him. Waterbury Athletic catcher, Scott Fol6y looks on while scratching his head. in the graces of whatever manager he is playing for. Bubba spends his bullpen time switching off between periodic early inning naps, tobacco juice spitting contests, rock throwing contests, pebbles in his eyes tricks and warming up his right arm by throwing a baseball. His nickname the “Bear” fits. His burley frame is topped by a mass of curly brown hair and a bushy moustache. Trying to call him Ricky will get you no response, but then again calling him a Buffalo won’t raise an eyebrow either. Bubba’s answer to a fan attempting to flag him down from the stands during pre-game warm-ups by yelling “Hey Buffalo” was to the point: “I’m a Bear, not a Buffalo.” On one of those days where the starting pitcher was breezing along and it became evident that no alarm would be sent down from the dugout, the Bear decided to ensure that he was the center of attraction. After taking a wad of well used chewing tobacco from his mouth, he whipped it against the gray cement wall, spattering the dripping brown substance beyond recognition. Minufes later Evans returned to the slop, carefully examined it and popped a huge chunk back in his mouth and resumed chewing. “It’s still good,” he acknowledged and walked away as if nothing inadvertently announcer introduced him as ‘Jaun’ Smith, he went into a mild rage, threatening to throw his best through fastball the screen protection on the press-box situated well above the field. He talks about his high school days back in Waco. Big Jim was naturally a baseball star, but plays basketball, football, pool, tennis 500 including and anything with intensity and Rummy expertise. A free-spirit on the outside, Smith’s character on the mound is visibly changed. He balks at umpires on close calls, storms off the mound in a sprintafter a good inning and lopes slowly back after a mild shelling. In the bullpen he’s quite lively. He will wander down the side-line to chat with a fan, take-off fifteen minutes before the game to grab a Big Mac or challenge foul balls that come bouncing in his direction. Should he cleanly field a foul ball, Smitty will tip his cap and take a quick bow to the delight of no one but himself. These players and their antics are just part of the unseen game of baseball.

Retzer and ‘Woj’ Two UBdiamond stars picked during pro draft ATTENTION j Millard Fillmore College Students i The deadline date for application waiver fees of mandatory of student activity is June 18th 79 9 Application for fee waivers will be available After premier a steady two years as righthander for the the baseball Bulls, Ed Retzer will again be pitching top caliber ball in his native town again when the Eastern League Waterbury Athletics roll into Buffalo next month to take on the Buffalo Bisons. His college days may be over, but Retzer was drafted last week in the late rounds of the pro-baseball free-agent draft by Waterbury. Although a starter at UB, Retzer has been relegated to the A’s suspect bullpen for use in both long and short relief. “The first few games will tell how he will make the adjustment,” said UB coach Bill Monkarsh who for the past two seasons had little worry with Retzer starting for the Bulls. “It’s a mental thing to come into the game with runners on base when you’re used to starting.” The righthander who compiled an 8-4 record here has the tools to establish himself in pro ball. “He’s got a live arm with a good breaking ball,” Monkarsh noted. The Waterbary A’s are currently floundering in the basement of the six team Eastern League. Two steps up the scale, the Oakland A’s are doing almost as poorly. A “rebuilding club,” the A’s might offer Retzer the “quickest ticket” to the big leagues. at 2 Hayes A. With Charles O.

In addition, the President’s annual “statement of stewardship and conditions of the campus” would be a public document. Lastly, the period of time for completing the evaluation would be shortened from one year to a semester. - - make any major revisions in the newly-proposed evaluation procedures before forwarding them to the Trustees. Fill void If Ketter elects to retire or resign, the new procedures, if adopted, will have no effect on UB. But then this University would need to fill the void left by Ketter. The association of individual campus Councils has been meeting with representatives from the Chancellor’s office and is currently examining the search procedures for new SUNY presidents. No timetable has been set for completing any search revisions. One source explained that the group involved meets “periodically” and probably will not meet again until Fall too late to effect a presidential search here. If the Association of Councils opts to revise search guidelines, it would — AD INFORMATION — — Convenientre-evaluation The local College Council retains the authority as spelled out in the State Education Law to submit its recommendation to the Trustees, but the procedures new eliminate the formal constituency-based committee from which the Council’s recommendation was to have been derived. Chairman of the SUNY Board of Trustees, Donald M. Blinken, told The Spectrum that approval of the proposal has not bed* finalized. Chancellor Wharton met Monday, he said, with representatives from various SUNY Councils to discuss the proposal. Blinken noted that “a President serves at the pleasure of the Trustees” and that the five year re-evaluation schedule was deemed “a convenient time to re-evaluate (presidents).” The Chairman also said he hopes the Trustees will act on the new evaluation procedures “soon so that we can take advantage of the alterations in time for the next academic year.” Chancellor Wharton could conceivably make changes in the proposed evaluation procedures before sending it to the Trustees, although a University official has suggested that Wharton himself mapped the procedures. A spokesman in the Chancellor’s office said the Trustees requested in February that the re-evaluation procedures be studied. Wharton brought the matter to the SUNY Council of Presidents, out of which came the sub-committee chaired by Robert MacVitte, President at Geneeseo State. MacVitte said that he “had no idea” whether the Chancellor would - prefers concrete policies.” The Buffalo Evening News reported in May that Ketter “was likely to quit his UB post next year.” Administrators here doubt the story was a “trial balloon,” although a few speculate that the story was “planted.” Ketter, however, quickly refuted the News story at his academic cabinet meeting the following morning. Political indecision Vice President for Academic Affairs Ronald F. Bunn felt “there is nothing to be gained by trying to speculate about Dr. Ketter’s plans.” Other administrators believe that Ketter’s unforthright administrative style may be rooted in his indecision regarding his political future. This year, for example, the President was placed in a precarious political position last December when Vice President Bunn and Vice President for Health Sciences F. Carter Pannill joined together in a drive to shift control over all undergraduate programs in the Health Sciences away from the Division of Undergraduate Education (DUE). Considerable opposition surfaced from DUE Dean John Peradotto, the undergraduate Student Association and the Faculty Senate, all of whom feared that the undermining of the DUE Dean’s authority would ultimately split the University into two independent bodies Health Sciences and Academic Affairs. After months of inconclusive meetings, Bunn and Pannill proposed a Council on Undergraduate Education, which would have the responsibility to review and recommend within the policy undergraduate division. Vehement opposition to the Council surfaced from Faculty Senate Chairman Newton Carver. Carver felt that “the proposed council . . .would do more harm than good, and must be either rejected or completely redefined . . Ketter, who was expected to make a decision on the fate of the Council back in February a no-win decision as many see it has still not acted. Some administrators believe that in an effort not to embarrass any of the parties involved and to keep on good terms with potential supporters, the president will postpone this decision until he has finalized his plans for next year.

Board may have been precipitous in including the mandatory abortion coverage in the before the survey results were known. So Leavy wrote Ketter and requested that the President delay his decision until Sub Board could meet again to plan discuss the survey. The issue was discussed at Sub Board’s May 17 meeting, which Leavy was unable to attend; but there was no motion for a revote, so Sub Board’s March 22 decision stood. “At the very least 1 wanted Sub Board to acknowledge that a survey had been taken,” Leavy stated in a written explanation of his intentions; “at the very most I wanted Sub Board to change its vote from one of favoring mandatory payments to one of favoring an opt out payment plan.” Satisfied that “the student process was finished,” Leavy wrote Ketter again, this time asking the President to “implement the decision reached by Sub Board.” On May 25, in a brief letter to Advisory Committee Chairman Len Snyder, Ketter did just that. No re-vote Realistically, Leavy said he did not expect a re-vote. He did not even instruct his proxy to call for a re-vote at the May 17 meeting. “The undergraduates had been appointed [to the Sub Board Board of Directors] on the condition that they support the mandatory plan,” said Leavy, who was under directive from SBA to support an opt out plan. “That’s five votes there,” he noted, referring to the number of undergraduates on the Board. be placed at 355 Squire are *1.50 for the first ten words, *0.10 for each additional word. display (boxed-ln Classified ads classifieds) are available for $5.00 per column Inch.

The arguments remain: Should those morally opposed be permitted to opt out? Might some women who initially opposed change their minds if a pregnancy threatened their academic careers? Should objectors be forced to pay for outside coverage at perhaps three to four times the cost of the student plan? Would an option invite parents to opt out for their daughter, not expecting their child to get pregnant? Should men have to pay for coverage that would not directly affect them? Should men be covered if they get a non-UB woman pregnant? “The problem is in the coverage,” noted Sub Board Executive Director Dennis Black, “not the process.” The “process” will be better coordinated next year, Black said, with the survey held earlier to avoid problems.

At UB, administrators say that “no word” has been given by Ketter except that he will announce his intentions in the Fall.

Surveyed last March by an American Dental Association (ADA) accreditation team, the school has suffered from inadequate State funding since it became part of SUNY in 1963. While the ADA criticized only the State for its non-support, UB administrators came under attack in the wake of the Dental School’s demotion for their failure to garner aid in the early stages of the problem. Many deficiencies mentioned in the report had been pointed out by an accrediting commission in 1972 but went uncorrected. present The conditional accreditation includes a two year probationary period in which to correct deficiencies or lose accreditation altogether. The report did praise the faculty, students and upper Health Sciences and University administration here. It cited the “strong leadership of the President and Vice President of Health Sciences,” as well as the faculty” “dedicated and “outstanding students.” Critical need The report condemned the State for its lack of commitment to the ailing UB facility: “The State has an obligation, not only to make substantial financial resources available to provide good facilities and to replace outdated equipment, but also must place the renovation project of the Dental School on a ‘critical priority need’ status.” An architect was hired by SUNY last November to study the practicality of renovating Squire Hall for use by the Dental School, among others. If his report is negative, a new facility will be requested. Either way, a move is not expected before 1982. Citing “impossibje unmanageable” report related and facilities, the “disbelief and inability” to understand the minimal commitment the State mr F. Carter Pannill '^1 ', —Jim DIVIncenzo William M. Faaqani Health Sciences V.P. Dental School Dean has made to the UB facility. It for that speciality plagued its continuation. The program of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, recently merged with Buffalo General hospital, provisional received criticized the current physical facility as “grossly inadequate,” operating at one-third to one-half of the space it requires and accommodating 87 students in an area designed for 60. The report calls for a program systematic of equipment replacement and immediate correction of inadequate lighting, space and ventilation in the pre-clinical labs. According to Dental School Dean William of Science; better integration child and adult dentition; and further involvement of the Perindontal faculty in the school’s research programs. the Also noted was establishment of a required course in practice administration, a strengthening of the Department of Behavior#! Sciences within the core dental curriculum, the development of a plan to monitor the sterility of dental instruments and increased efforts from the central and dental administrations to “release” time to faculty for independent research. Feagans, the equipment being used dates back to the late 1940’S; “We have been cannibalizing oug own units to keep them operating,” he explained. The accrediting team also stressed the need for ten additional clinical faculty, the necessity of increasing faculty salaries, and the urgency for increased State support of staff and equipment costs. Funding search The lack of funding for staff and equipment expenses, Feagans maintained, forced the Dental School to look to other sources for income. The report notes the school’s dependence on income from UB’s Dental Clinic to finance staff positions; “A review of clinic fee schedules indicates that clinic income has now been maximized to the point where are procedures certain Robert L. Ketter —Tom Buchanan UB President approaching those fees charged by The private practitioners.” internal problems of the School as opposed to those spawned by involved inadequate State aid - - the School’s curriculum to induce committee’s need greater interaction between the Dental School’s Departments of Oral Biology and Behavioral ‘Shocked’ at news Of seven advanced educational programs offered to students who have acquired a dental degree but wish to specialize in a certain area, five were renewed with full approval of the ADA. The endodontics program received provisional approval, “with the intent to withdraw accreditation in December 1979,” unless a including progress report alterations is submitted by the School before October 15, The committee report charged that a loss in the number of faculty and a loss of educational autonomy approval dependent upon greater exposure of residents to major surgical cases. Feagans, claiming he was “shocked” at- the lowering of accreditation status for the pre-doctoral standard dental program, said the action warrants progress reports indicating school response to the committee recommendations. “Then in May of 1980 the body will make its decision,” he explained. to According accreditation II guidelines, established requirements must satisfactorily if a program is to be granted the approval “OK.” Conditional indicates a weakness in one or more areas deemed correctable in a “reasonable length of time” — — - within two Provisional years. approval indicates a serious weakness in one more area slated for withdraw! unless correction follows.

John Arthur Spenkelink died Friday, May 25 in a Florida electric chair despite frantic efforts by his team of lawyers to gain a stay of execution. His death, say journalists and lawyers across the country, will open the flood gates to further executions. Spenkelink was the first person to be executed in the United States since Gary Gilmore “but what we saw was like a wax figure, something you might see on display. He was strapped so tightly as to be almost motionless, a strap along his chin held his head back, he couldn’t talk, the itfl - strong.” Spenkeling was kept in a holding cell a few feet from the electric chair, which is referred to as “Old Sparky” by other death row inmates at the Florida state Analysis prison. Reverend Tom Feamster, an willingly faced a Utah firing squad in 1977, and the first to be executed against his will since Luis Monge went to the gas chamber in 1967. The execution Spenkelink provided a virtual field day for reporters nationwide, with many their graphic accounts undoubtedly aimed not only at the public’s heart but also at its stomach. A compiling of both AP and UPI stories along with the New York Times account of the execution exposed these morbid of details: As dawn approached on the morning of the execution, Spenkelink’s leg and head were shaved. Guards clipped his har into a crew cut, then shaved a small spot on his skull to better conduct electricity through the leather death cap. The cap was a mesh helmet and chin strap lined with small yellow sponge dampened with a salt water solution. The sponge kept the condemned man’s head from - touching the cup’s copper wiring. Thirty minutes before the Episcopal priest who was the last one to talk with Spenkelink, told reporters that the condemned man said that “Man is what he chooses to be; he chooses that for himself.” As the hour of execution approached, the condemned man was escorted to the death chamber by guards, who placed him in the oak electric chair, strapping seven wide and thick leather bands tightly around his body, arms, and legs. The helmet was fastened. There were twelve official observers and 20 from the news media, seated behind a wood and glass partition. “He simply looked at us and he looked terrified,” said Kris Rebillot, a reporter who was one of those 32 who watched through a window from an adjoining room. “It was just a wide, wide, wide stare.” Bulging cheeks “I somehow thought he would something,” H.C.

Quickly, very quickly, there was the first surge of electricity and it seamed as if he had been hit by a gust of wind. The hands clenched, his legs jerked and after that he was still.” The first surge of electricity, 2500 volts, was administered at 10:12 a.m. A doctor stepped forward after the first surge, up the prisoner’s T-shirt and applied a stethoscope to then Spenkeling’s chest.

Funeral hearse Outside the prison, opponents of the death penalty, some of whom held vigil outside the prison several days prior to the electrocution, grew restless, some hysterical. As the time of the execution came and passed, some prayed, some wept, others screamed epithets and obscenities as a funeral home hearse left the prison gates shortly before eleven in the morning, bearing the convict’s body. Earlier, they had chanted, “Government murder! Government murder!” Darlene Downs, whose ex-husband, Earnest Downs, lives on death row, clutched a Bible and thrashed in the arms of three friends, who tried to restrain her. “You wouldn’t kill a dog like that!” she shrieked. State Representative Andy Johnson of Jacksonville, an opponent of the death penalty, who Thursday introduced a bill to end executions in Florida, condemned the execution as “barbaric” and “sickening.” He told scores of reporters assembled under the blazing Florida sun in a cow pasture in front of the prison complex: “We saw a man sizzle today, and if you watched close, you could see him sizzle again, and sizzle again.” Now really. Truman Capote couldn’t have described it with any better eye for detail. Many readers, including this reporter, were undoubtedly sickened by the sensationalism which the event evoked. However, a staff member of the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), Henry Schwartzchild, believes these reactions are just the Rash of electrocutions? Opponents of the penalty beginning in the public’s coming to terms with Spenkelink’s death. “I definitely believe that the execution was undersensationalized.

The ultimate offense is to act as though this could ever be permitted to be routine,” he added. New York Times reporter Wayne King, who covered the Spenkelink execution, maintains that his decision to cover the electrocution in such dramatic detail was determined in concert with his editors. “My belief is that if the execution took place, it should be described in enough detail so that the reader could make a determination as to whether he supported that manner of death.” “The New York Times" he continued, “by editorial policy, usually avoids sensationalism, but in this case we feel that the coverage was justified. It would deprive the reader to merely say that John Spenkelink was executed. The reader is entitled to know what an execution is and how it’s carried out,” he added. Ironically, a spokesman for New York State Senator Dale Volker, who is currently sponsoring a bill to reinstate a new version of the death penalty in New York State, was sickened by the magnified detail of the press reports. “All of us know pretty much what goes on during an event of this kind. We don’t need to have our noses rubbed in it. It would have been more tasteful to have left at least a little bit for the imagination,” he said.

But Spenkelink fought his execution with every legal weapon at his command up until the hour of his death; and opponents of capital punishment predicted his death would trigger a rash of executions among the nearly 500 people on the death rows of prisons across the nation. Millard Farmer of Atlanta, another defense attorney who helped engineer Spenkclink’s final, futile appeal to the Supreme Court, predicted there “will be a tremendous amount [of everywhere. This executions] thing today is a monument to our failures.” Spenkelink became the 197th person and the first in 1 5 years to die in Florida’s 55 year old electric chair. The state still has 133 on death row. “They (Florida officials] might kill 130 in the next year,” Farmer told a newsman bitterly just moments after Spenkelink died. “From what I’ve seen in the past few days, if their appetite continues, they possibly will.” New York Times writer King • agrees that the public may be in store for more of the same in the year to come. “The situation is very different than when Gary Gilmore was killed in 1977. During the past 18 months, a large number of death row inmates have been exhausting their appeals, despite attempts on their behalf by some of the most lawyers in the competent country,” he said. “However, I think that the term ‘floodgate’ is quite an exaggeration. Within 6 months there could be another execution, but certainly within a year there will be several. The clock is just running out on some of these guys,” he said. �; i New computer policy may burden researchers by Kathleen McDonough Managing Editor University Computing Services is instituting a new policy to cope with soaring demand and a tight-fisted Albany budget. But some students and faculty are concerned that the policy may limit their access to the computers. According to Service Director Walter M. Macintyre, the new policy will attempt to encourage professors to request money specifically for cojnputer use when applying for external grants and to also prompt researchers to actually spend such money for that purpose. Under the former, rather lax system, a researcher could funnel grant money earmarked for computing services into other areas of his research. Also, there has been no real distinction previously made between professors who funded their research with grant money and those who either had no grants or failed to use them for computer services. in computing services for every $1 of external funding. Thus departments in which many professors receive external grants with funds for computer use will be in a better position than those with fewer faculty grants. How these additional dollars, based on grant money, are to be distributed whether it goes only to those faculty who receive grants or is somehow divided among all department faculty is decided by the department chairman. Macintyre recognized that some departments or individual professors could well be burdened by the policy. — — Shapiro noted another factor: and dissertations. Students, he said, have been “essentially ignored.” If a student’s professor does not obtain grant money for his research, the student must rely on the department for computer money. Students in Computer Science are among the most vulnerable, Shapiro said. President of the Computer Science Graduate Student Association Ronald Curtis said that the approximately 70 graduate students in the department are concerned about the new policy. He said that if a student’s access to the computer was severely curtailed, then his research and graduation would be delayed. Curtis explained that the Computer Science students are waiting to see a final copy of the policy before deciding on a qourse of action. He is considering taking the issue to the University-wide Graduate Student Association should the policy impose undo hardship on students. semester, departments will gain up to $7 Avoids controversy Kissinger charms banqueters Former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger skirted controversial topics and stuck to his well known political philosophy in a typically eloquent speech Monday. Kissinger, featured as the guest speaker at the Buffalo Council on World Affairs annual citation dinner, remained noncommittal fega'ding his future plans. There has been speculation that he is eyeing New York Senator Jacob davits’ seat in the U.S. Senate. Kissinger, attired in his usual non-descript dark suit, pleasantly surprised the audience by opening with a string of one-liners. Following a lengthy introduction dripping with praise, he deadpanned that it was “a typical example of Anglo-Saxon Kissinger addressed over 700 politely attentive Buffalonians, contrasted sharply with the protest outside the hotel. About ten demonstrators from the Western New York Peace Center greeted the banqueters with signs admonishing them for dining with a “mass murderer.” The protesters distributed copies of a letter from Peace Center coordinator Walter Simpson. Simpson’s letter expressed his dismay that a “humanitarian understatement.” After several light comments on his newest book, “one of the great unread bestsellers,” Kissinger abandoned his Johnny Carson-like monologue, turning abruptly to his subject of expertise; foreign policy. Americans have no consensus on the duties and goals of the country, he said, adding “we no longer have a clear conception of our accomplishments.” Kissinger generally avoided comment on domestic policy or the American political scene, but told his audience that America needs a strong government. He maintained that America must have “an Administration with enough moral strength to act despite uncertainty” and a public which trusts its officials. Protest staged The scene in the ornate Gold Room of the Statler Hotel, where Henry Kissinger Kept 'em happy organization” would choose to honor Kissinger, “some of whose actions must be classified as war crimes.” But Kissinger and his audience appeared unfazed by the protest, which was closely controlled by a number of security personnel. Kissinger, a professor at stood Georgetown firm in his belief that the United States must defend its allies and warned that failure to do so would “demoralize our friends and embolden our enemies.” The former Secretary of State said that, although America must the plight of graduate students depending on computer usage to complete their theses But this policy could pose problems for professors who cannot obtain grants but need computer services, said Acting Chairman of Computer Science Stuart Shapiro. Professors can gain funds for research either through grants or from their academic departments. But under the new policy, already approved by University President Robert L. Ketter and slated for implementation in the Fall Managing Editor But he said that both the Vice President for Academic Affairs and the Vice President for Health Sciences will be provided with computer funds to assist in those cases. On a University-wide level, Macintyre said, there is enough money to sponsor computer services. Although the resources are not evenly spread individually among all departments, he maintained that, “the money is there; they don’t have to go find it.” Students ignored Possiblfturden by Kathleen McDonough CO show some restraint in its foreign dealings, strength is of primary importance. An image of impotency is a danger America must avoid, he said, emphasizing that it is “no consolation to those who depend on us to be told we couldn’t do anything.” Senate race? Kissinger then raised some questions regarding the Strategic Arms limitation Treaty (SALT), soon to be signed by the United States and the Soviet Union. He wondered whether the agreement would actually succeed in limiting weapons build-up and questioned whether the pact would tip the “balance of power” away from the United States. Kissinger also doubted the wisdom of dealing with a foreign power, such as the Soviet Union, which supplies other nations with arms against America’s allies. In response to a question about the source of the turmoil in Iran, which noted was once America’s “staunch ally,” Kissinger cited what he termed “the weakening of the CIA” as a contributing factor. Kissinger, reputed by Washington columnist Jack Anderson to be a personal friend of the deposed Shah, and to have been instrumental in gaining U.S. support for Iran, said the “Shah should be let into the United States as a political refugee.” Kissinger side-stepped audience questions as to his political future, but he told reporters that he would net seek Javits’ Senate seat next year since he believes that Javits will run for re-election. However, Javits’ plans are uncertain at this time. Area Congressman Jack Kemp has been mentioned as another possible candidate for the Senate post. Air tests show Baird asbestos remains ’ An airborne asbestos fiber survey of five sites on UB’s Main St. Campus has been released by the Office of Environmental Health and Safety. Based on the results of this survey, Robert Hunt, UB’s Director of Environmental Health and Safety said “there is no reason for removing the ceiling material (known to contain asbestos) from Baird Hall.” The report was conducted by the United States Testing Company, a private firm which analyzed samples of air taken from three sites in Baird Hall, one site in Diefendorf Hall and a control sample taken from the north end of the Abbott Parking Lot. The results of the test showed that the Diefendorf and Abbott Lot sites had the lowest concentration of fibers per cubic centimeter of air while the highest concentration was from a sample taken in one of the basement rehearsal rooms of Baird Hall. None of the air samples showed a concentration of fibers anywhere near that considered harmful by the Federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). But Bob Franki of the New York Public Interest Research Group (NYPIRG) which first warned of the possible health hazard posed by the Baird Hall asbestos in early February disagreed with the inference that the air in Baird Hall is safe to breathe. Franki noted that the OSHA standard is “geared only toward asbestiosis,” a lung disease where the sharp asbestos fibers scar lung tissue to a point where they can no longer effectively exchange oxygen. But asbestos is also a proven carcinogen and “there is no safe dose of a proven carcinogen,” said Franki. Franki also said that the report failed to measure the fiber concentration in the air when someone actually touches or bumps into the asbestos containing material. The ceilings of the Baird Hall rehearsal rooms are only about eight feet high and covered with asbestos. Franki cited estimates by experts that contact with the ceiling could raise the concentration of fibers in the air to 50 times the OSHA standard. The report also says the sample “was extremely difficult to analyze due to the extremely short sampling time of 19 minutes,” whereas all the other samples were taken over a period of about six hours. The report goes on to say the technique used in determining the airborne asbestos present in the air requires that a minimum number of particles be collected in the sample. The short sampling time reduced “the accuracy of the method.” Whether a more accurate sampling would show a higher or lower concentration, the report did jiot Joel DiMarco speculate. — — - ATTENTION MALES Earn $100 per month extra money till June 29th) I (Enrollment We are looking for Blood Group B Donors for a Plasmapheresis Program. if you quriify or would like to be tested foryour blood group - Call SOMERSET LABS 1331 No. Forest 688-2716 Suite 110 Williamsville, New York Hours, 8:30 am to 5:30 pm - - ■ �editorial * 4 » a. /fridayfridayfridayfri I' I Leadership nightmare O) When the UB Dental School underwent its accreditation review in o> ® t “ 1972, the accrediting team pointed to space and equipment problems. Very little was done to rectify the School's severe space shortages and aging facilities. When this newspaper pointed out last October almost — o seven years later that these same space shortages jeopardized the topranked Dental School's standing, that inadequate inflationary increases threatened the quality of the program, and that the lack of space was causing "a disastrous effect on our faculty," according to the Dental School Dean virtually nothing was done. In fact, since 1962 the year UB joined the SUNV system the State has spent only $50,000 here for Dental School equipment and construction of new facilities. Accordingly, UB was miffed when SUNV Stony Brook received $18 million to build a new dental facility last year. This is not parity. The Spectrum has frequently admonished the Carey Administration for'its failure to support Buffalo, as well as the financial disparity between public and private education in New York. The crucial issue behind the Dental School's demoted accreditation standing is that this University, the Ketter Administration, and local legislators were forewarned of the danger. It is not a sudden crisis that required hastily-conceived remedial action. While it is a typical example of the State's longterm failure to maintain quality programs in SUNV, officials here were acutely aware of the jeopardy the Dental School faced and — — — — failed to take adequate steps to correct the decaying facility. Where was University President Robert Ketter seven years ago when the Dental School really needed him to open his mouth? Why wasn't Ketter knocking on legislators' doors, organizing his faculty, encouraging students to contact their elected representatives, and gathering the backing of local patients who have benefitted from the Dental Clinic? Where was the necessary leadership to keep the Dental School ranked as one of the best in the country? Now Ketter is in the process of establishing a three-year plan to remedy the Dental School's possible loss of accreditation. But in his request for immediate aid in the State's supplemental budget, Ketter originally declined to release the outside accreditation report. Perhaps the President was engineering a political coup to keep the Dental School in the press first by angering the Chairman of Assembly's Higher Education Committee, and then by appeasing those who clamored to see the report. Or perhaps the University President was hesitant to release a report .hat confirmed what everyone in connection with the Dental School already knew: that the UB program has serious space shortages (forcing equipment, which is often outdated, to be stored in hallways). With the UB Dental School as a new guinea pig, it may well serve as a test of Ketter's ability to muster backing in Albany, from local legislators, from the Buffalo community, and from various University constituencies in rallying to support a desperate Dental program. If the Dental School eventually loses its accreditation, then the cavity created for this University will be hard to fill. What is more shocking than the State's neglect is an unveiled leadership nightmare. When will the Dental School receive more than just a verbal commitment to resolve its problems? Maybe in seven years — ... W elcome to ‘The Spectrum’ Welcome to the first summer issue and a new administration at The Spectrum. A new beginning for a newspaper whose hierarchy changes annually.

(However, I could think of at least three areas in this town that I’d really like to live in.) The point is, I guess, that the attitudes in New York now seemed to be no different than they are everywhere else. The I Love NY campaign was really an I Love Manhattan campaign, and the Love had much more to do with New York’s thriving cultural exhibitions than with the people. And what matters more than people? Nothing. Personal space, perhaps. Living space, breathing space, financial space. Certainly the personal politics of economics have a great deal to do with where you hang your hat. When your living space is without a doubt going to be expensive yet not generous in terms of breathing space, when your breathing space includes dollar and a half beers when you go out your financial space impedes your ability to live comfortably (and besides, you won’t save a dime).

Perhaps precisely because there is so much to do in New York, so many people to constantly measure yourself against, so much to keep up with, you can lose a grip on priorities. I have gone back to New York and found myself out of step. Middle-aged men knock me over, dogs crap on my sneakers and nobody scoops up their poop. Don’t get me wrong.

Public backstabbing The following is a copy of a letter sent to the Buffalo Evening News in response to an editorial that appeared in that paper. The editorial stated that “the Bundy formula for direct support of the — independent institutions... has been adjusted for inflation in years past, but since 1973 it has been increased only 17 percent while state appropriations to the State University have been raised an estimated 45 Your editorial of May 24th (Bundy Aid Deserves Updating) exhibited a weak analysis of (he funding of higher education in New York State and lack of understanding of the State University System. The State of New York has not by its funding to SUNY supplanted the network of independent colleges and Universities. In fact, it has been the private sector who has benefitted at the expense of the public sector in higher education. This, according to a report by the prestigious Brookings Institution. Some important factors which your editorial omits include: New York State ranks in the top seven of tuition fees in states where tuition is charged. The State allocates more public money to private institutions than all 49 states combined. New York State ranks 47th in (he country in its increases to its State University in the last three years. The situation has reached a point where SUNY world at large. Be good to your neighbors, and they’ll be good to you. The analysts predict a reurbanization in the next decade. Outside of the potential pressures of energy and the automobile, I’m not so sure that Americans will be so quick to give up that personal suburban space into which we’ve grown. Me, I’m still a city boy, but I need some room. A small city like this is much closer to my mind’s pace right now, but a career calls (anybody got a job for me?). So for awhile, this transient won’t be going home. But I’m on my way there, I’m on my way there. Chancellor Wharton reported that, the “out of pocket costs’' (after scholarships and aid) between public and private schools is less than $400. Where, I ask, is the parity? The mission of State Universities is to provide New York State students who can’t afford to go “private” an opportunity for higher education. Supporters of public higher education are not naive enough to believe that the State does not have any financial oblication to independent colleges and universities. However, there are limitations. A further increase in Bundy Aid goes beyond those limitations. We must order our priorities back towards SUNY. The State University System can be great if the “public” doesn’t continually turn its back on it. Yours Sincerely, may Joel Dinerstein cheap thrills by Dianne Manning and Ed Strumlauf John Paul Getty, Howard Hughes, and John D. Rockefeller will probably not be interested in this column. First of all, they have enough money, and second of all, they’re dead. But , if you’re alive and short on bucks, Cheap Thrills is for you .... * * * * * At a time when many students have just moved into what will be their new home for the upcoming school year, a place like Hickey’s Outdoor Flea Market can come in mighty handy. Located on Main Street in Clarence, it’s an ideal place to search for all those apartment needs. Whether you’re looking for a couch or a fly swatter, a garden hose or an antique rug-beater, one of Hickey’s 100 or more dealers is sure to have what you’re looking for. Every Sunday, as early as 6 a.m., you will find rows of tables displaying furniture, clothes, crafts, antiques, and the like. Don’t be afraid to barter with the dealers to get what you want for the price you want to pay. And remember, the earlier you arrive, the more likely you are to catch some good buys. All you need to bring with you is an alert eye, a sharp tongue, and a car with enough trunk space to cart away the bargains that come your way. Hickey’s is located on Main St., 14 miles east of the Main St. Campus (about 7 miles past the Eastern Hills Mall). On the way, you’ll pass by the Clarence Open Air Market on the right, but save that stop for later if you’re game. Hickey’s is just a little farther up the road on the left. Be sure not to park on Main St. because parking tickets aren’t a bargain at any price. * » * * * If there is one thing that makes spending the summer in Buffalo a worthwhile adventure, it is being around for the Allentown Outdoor Art Festival. This Saturday and Sunday (June 9-10) from 12-7 p.m., Allentown (Buffalo’s Greenwich Village) will close its streets to traffic for the 22nd year and host one of the largest outdoor art festivals “this side of the Mississippi,” according to one organizer. With an extended display area and close to 500 exhibitors, the show promises to be the biggest and best yet. In past years, most every art form you can think of has been on display .at the festival. From original prints, paintings and jewelry, to woodwork and sculpture, to people who will paint your portrait while you wait, artists from miles away come to exhibit their work. Furthermore, each artist’s work is juried to assure that only the finest (none of that MADE IN JAPAN junk) in today’s art world is represented. Another good thing about the festival is that it is easy to get to. If you are driving, just take Main Street west to the vicinity of Main and Allen, North, Tupper or Virginia and find a parking space. Then walk up any of those streets and you won’t miss the show. No car? Just hop on a Metro Bus 8 or 8A from anywhere on Main Street, get off at Main and Allen, and for 40 cents (and no parking worried) you will be there in a jiffy. Remember, there’s no Cheap Thrill like a free thrill, and the Allentown Art Festival is among the best. Ask any of the 400,000 people who attended last year. It only happens once a year, so even if you don’t have any money, it is a great place to browse and get ideas for your own art or craft projects. Who knows? Maybe next summer you will find yourself exhibiting your own work at the festival. " To the Editor.

In a sense, we are all if you allow me some Rod McKuenish slack always on the way home. The problem that is posed by a home that leaves us nothing to look forward to, that doesn’t allow us an escape from the world’s pretenses or give us a rhyme in which we can relax, is one that keys off perhaps every personal decision in one’s life. “Home” to me had always been, if not my parents’ apartments in Brooklyn and Queens, New York urbanity in general. But from this far more comfortable observation post four hundred miles away, relaxing in a magical land where one can find a parking space near the restaurant on a Saturday night (and probably still have enough money left after dinner to grab an ice cream), I began to notice that the unexpected part of living in New York which I cherished so much seeing a street comic, artist, musician, or mime, stumbling upon a unique shop or an ethnic festival was mounted on a lush background of boutiques to look at (“Why is that $500, Mom?”) but not to touch, Madison Avenue models to gape at but not to touch, museums in which to observe beauty, history, understanding, knowledge but no touch, young man. It was clear that I was out of touch. Home is a place where everybody touches. Anybody who ropes off their living room for company, the Chivas Regal for the boss, or the “good” glasses for special occasions has perhaps lost the feeling of being on the way home. Buffalo has it in excess. I have rarely heard a native denounce the town, and they are proud, almost to a fault (read the newspapers/ of what their town has to offer. People here don’t seem to be, if I may generalize, in a rush to get anywhere; therefore, they must feel at home all around the town. And though this may frustrate the time clock punching New Yorker in me (“I didn’t know I was so late, guys,” proclaims a Buffalonian friend about seven times a day), it certainly seems less conducive to ulcers and indigestion; i.e. it seems healthier. On the other hand, New York not only has disrobed itself to me of any claim to being a city of neighborhoods, there no longer appears to be any sense of community whatsoever.

First of all, government research-sponsoring organizations can cut off research funding, which Bross who has published over 300 articles claimed just happened to him. Secondly, the scientific journals are often unwilling to print articles detailing anti-technological studies. And when articles are printed, “scathing critiques” follow, “assassinating the researcher’s scientific character,” he said. Bross, who led fights for seat belts and low tar cigarettes earlier in his career, has found that combatting the government is much harder than the tobacco or automobile lobbies. “Radiation exposure is as overtly dangerous as smoking cigarettes,” Bross claims, “and Western New York is one of the worst health hazards in the country.” There are, in fact, over 200 toxic waste dump sites in Western New York, in addition to Love Canal and the West Valley nuclear waste dump site. actions without specific government approval. Jeanne Reilly, of the Federal Occupational Health and Safety Administration demanded that “the price of work should not be your health.” Reilly continued, “The grass roots of America should all shout ‘Don’t dump on us.’ government — ” — Political turbulence The Buffalo rally was just one of over three dozen held all over the United States last weekend. In Shoreham, Long Island, over 15,000 protestors picketed a nuclear power plant under construction there. Several hundred of that number attacked gates and climbed fences at the facility. At least 400 persons, including former Chicago Seven defendants Jerry Rubin and David Dellinger, were arrested. Similar demonstrations in France, West Germany and Spain also took aim at the burgeoning nuclear industries there. The nuclear industry is especially controversial in Europe since many countries there lack alternative energy sources like gas and coal. The political situations in many countries, Sweden especially, have become turbulent ‘Legalized holocaust’ Other speakers commented on the need for citizens groups to organize together. “We must all have one voice,” shouted Jan Files of the West Valley Coalition. “Citizens should stop paying their tax dollars to support a death machine . .a legalized since the near meltdown at Three Mile Island. Progress in these European countries towards a greater reliancy on nuclear power, as in the United States, has been recently stifled by aroused public sentiment. Spokesmen for the anti-cancer coalitions hope that these rallies will continue to impede the progress of the nuclear industry. Said Michio Kaku, an associate professor of physics at the City University of New York, “Progress is shutting them (nuclear plants) down. Nuclear plants, at best, are real lemons.” . holocaust.” David Koepke, vice president of United Aut6 Workers Local 686 and chairman of the Niagara Frontier Coalition, said that the organizers of the rally would ask State legislators to support bills outlawing toxic dumping waste in New York Applications are available for From; Dental School .r—• Currently under question is the university’s failure to publicize the most recent ADA report and an August task force report which warned of the shortcomings of the School. Last year’s report had never been publicized and the document recent was most released only Tuesday after a week of coaxing by legislators. According to Feagans, “There was nothing in the ADA report that should have been kept secret. Dr. Ketter simply wanted to meet with various people before making it public.” Yet the failure to reveal last summer’s task force report which explicitly stated the School’s deficiencies goes unexplained.

J �HRO )KJ/U, SI H \ ■ the opposite end of Tmc Spf CTI^um by Tim Switala Cruisin' with Sick Girls' Messages of wild youth, romances: keep your windows down ... I first heard “Sick Girls” on WBUF while driving the streets aimlessly. The windows went down, the volume went up and the accelerator depressed; speed control, at this point, became irrelevant. That’s what the Jumpers represent cruisin’ music and that’s a good enough reason for radio stations in Buffalo to play their records. With its appropriate summer release, "Sick Girls/This Is It” delivers, in fine fashion, the Jumper identity that has encouraged repeated dance marathons at McVan’s the past few weekends; messages of wild youth, romance and rock ’n roll anthems. In the past, if a local station promoted a local artist (and it has seldom happened), the move could be interpreted by cynics as being a bit patronizing. Not so with the Jumpers. For those of you who have been over-protected from the current scene in Buffalo, awareness of the fact that other recording artists come from centers and situations no different should be Akron, Ohio, for instance enlightening. The Jumpers have earned and so deserve their positions on playlists in this city; their single, mastered by Greg Calbi at Sterling Sound in New York (Calbi’s credits including Bowie, Springsteen, Ramones, Blondie, Johansen, Tubes), exhibits great quality as an independent release (by PIAS records); - — — — their live performances have created manic jumping sessions throughout Buffalo, New York City and Toronto. The A-side, “Sick Girls,” was written by bassist Craig Meylan and offers up the typical problem of males relating to females; relatively teenage and somewhat misogynous, it’s splendid fiction not to be taken too seriously. Like good rock and roll. Guitarist Scott Michaels’ break during this one simply takes control of the listener. To be listened to loud and in short doses. Crank it up "This Is It” is an anthem which speaks of guitar revolution, and the intensity is here divided between the immediacy of lead vocalist Terry Sullivan and the slow-cook drumming of Roger Nichol. The Cinderella stories of the Cars and Dire Straits show what can happen when local stations provide the first outlet for struggling artists; the Cars’ success resulted from the playing of demo tapes on Boston FM stations. Next time you’re cruisin’, check this band out, crank it up; the Jumpers represent a tasty strain of all-American suburbia rock and roll. No, they don’t represent America, they’re not that homogenized; they’re better than that. The Jumpers are the urgency of summer daze, cold beers and the pasttime of jamming to the car radio. The time is right for jumping in the streets. And we’ve all gone cruisin’, haven’t we? �Summertime Punk passion ... Summers in Buffalo carry a reputation that winters in Buffalo do people speak highly of them. And though campus life will be more leisurely, the entertainment scene will not be. In the four pages of the summer Prodigal Sun, we hope to cover as wide a range of the arts and musical goings-on as possible. And there will be plenty. This weekend, the maligned Allentown Art Festival continues its tradition of being as much an outdoor parade of personalities as it is a showcase for local artwork.

C i a ...c.,Nx uai by Harold Goldberg Anyone interested in the tedious subject of communicating passion, take note. Graham Parker, primarily, and Joe Jackson, secondarily, can tell the listener great tales of emotion. Parker’s Squeezing Out Sparks (Arista) is the best record of anger or rock I’ve heard this year. While his message kicks from the idea of sex, his frank ambivalence is succinct He acts, says it’s wrong, acts, says that’s wrong, reassesses, blames himself or someone else. Yet it doesn’t come off as a formula. Parker’s frustration has fresh and appealing credibility for the young adult masochistic rock audience. He denies death because of emotion; his voice says emotion is shattering. His words provide a tentative answer. Fact is, Parker has commanding ideals, by and large pipe dreams, even in his song titles: "Passion Is No Ordinary Word,” “Nobody Hurts You,” “You Can’t Be Too Strong.” Though he gives orders, he stumbles at times: “There’s nothing to hold on to.” Of course, the writer’s words are the conquerors. There’s always a rationalized “but...” to bail Parker out. The words seem like a good argument. As much as his voice shouts or whines, Parker’s got a louder drone or a moral to free himself. “Nobody Hurts You” is a fiery, quick story, a bang-bang analysis of himself and a friend. While “the odds are stacked against you,” it’s your fault. Here, little G.P. is a mini-oracle in the three-tone hook and boisterous with the whole Rumour. But what else can a poor boy do. But other poor boys don’t cry, beg, dodge, or connive as well as this one. It’s no usual statement to say the Rumour backs Parker well. When Parker’s hollering on lover’s leap, the Rumour readies to jump with him, maybe behind him like leather-jacketed lemmings. At other times, they’re ready to jump first. On “Local Girls,” guitarist Brinsley Schwarz knows Parker’s inflections before Parker even acts. He reads Parker’s solutions Jackson has more of a conspicions ego than Parker. That ego’s out for itself no matter how many times Jackson calls himself a fool. He’s not macho but strong. His sarcasm and irony is like Atlas Why does it work? like a genious: the stories are told by both singer and a band. ) oe Jackson’s Look Sharp (A&M) is still tentative like Squeezing Out Sparks but more predictably so. At first, you’d say he’s angry as a bee that just lost its stinger. But a bee without-'a stinger hurts too. Jackson isn’t ready to die because of stronger stingers in his rocking abdomen. strength. Even his music is part parody, more than it is influenced by styles. His underlying reggae beat laughs at and with us. In "Pretty Girls,” he tells Manfred Mann what “Do Wah Diddy” really means. His use of Costello’s "Watching The Detectives” bass line on “Fools In Love” is so soft Jackson may think he is adding some emotion to Costello’s song building on the shoulders of giants and the like. He’s basic raw pop with a mocking voice. The feelings he covers aren’t ambivalent That’s a flaw, but he doesn’t want to cover it all. This works for Jackson. Parker seems to aspire to encompass all feelings. It’s more fun to watch him try that than to hear Jackson gloat with wit. — V » STUDENTS Now for a limited time you may obtain a STUDENT SUMMER MEMBERSHIP Valid June 1 Fri. 7 am — ONLY 4 pm — August 31 Sat.-Sun. 7 am X V~7> ENJOY Truly Japan*se Cuisine JAPANESE FAMILY RESTAURANT (Regular Annual Membership Dues Are *64.20) — — For gems from the Jewish Bible Phone 875-4265 833-5226 Take advantage of Summer Racquetball opportunities...

Pretentious critics bomb on this one by Ross Chapman Ridley Scott’s Alien may not only turn out to be the summer’s biggest box-office hit, it may also be one of this year’s least understood films. Even critics who gave it favorable reviews have characterized the film as “primatively simple, like any comic strip or B-movie in which .’ is the most ‘Beee! sophisticated discourse” to use the words of Newsweek ’s Jack . . Kroll.’ In New York magazine, David Denby writes that “Despite all the gleaming technology, it’s a very primitive piece of work. After a while the scare tactics becqme completely obvious and mechanical, but the killings are so gratuitously horrible that we jump every time.’’ Indeed, critics have ascribed copious gore to the film. Frank Rich says in Time magazine that Alien “has enough gore to gross out children of all ages. What is missing is wit, imagination, and the vaguest hint of human feeling.’’ Tom Allen writes in The Village Voice that the film “obfuscates character, lolls indulgently .over the irrelevent, strenuously avoids enlightenment or inspiration and relentlessly zeros in on the mechanics of brutalization” a strange remark for a man who deliriously embraced such dehumanizing trash as Midnight Express, Dawn of the Dead and Halloween ! Kubrick and Malick for its photographic excellence. But his real training came from TV. For years, Scott was a top director of television commercials which, if you haven’t already noticed, in their best moments, manifest the most sophisticated direction, photography, and writing in the visual recording arts today. Composing with a visual vocabulary of both precise and concise images, Scott harvests from each shot rafts of anxiety. But it is this very anxiety to which so many object. Fear, somehow, is too coarse for “real” art. Critics and viewers alike sometimes seem to resent that the film frightened them. Many of them, apparently, would rather atrophy watching 3 cold, dead artifact like Manhattan than face the raw human emotion of panic. Whereas Manhattan prattles wearily on about emotions the fHm itself is to passionless to convey, Alien provides us a whole environment of passion. This passion is not a feat of cinematic masturbation as some have intimated. Unlike The - ONE THE EDGE OF THEIR SEATS; Signouray Waavar, Yaphat Kotto, and Harry Daan Stanton hunt for tha itaaly-iawad alian that's hunting tham Exorcist or Damien, Alien does not rely on triggering reflex action for its effect anymore than Psycho does. There are only two incidents of real gore in Alien, and the creature which decimates the crew is never clearly seen until the very end of the movie. Instead, the extreme anxiety experienced while watching the film is accomplished by masterful direction, a skillful use of the soundtrack, brilliantly baroque lighting, and sympathetic acting. presence. Skerritt, actress Signourey Weaver, and Kette are too earthy to become fleshy analogs for the ship’s abounding gadgetry. They bring to outer space pecuniary haggles, class distinction, domestic banter, and cunnilingus jokes. While contributing a large part of the film’s anxiety through their affecting characterizations, they also truck into Allen a bevy of intriguing subtexts. The ship, for example, is a mining tug owned by "The Company” which programs "Mother,” the vaguely Skerritt, omniscient computer that runs Veronica the ship while the crew sleeps in Humanizing fear The cast (Tom Signourey Weaver, Cartwright, Harry Dean Stanton, John Hurt, Ian Helm, and Yaphet Kette) lend a humanizing cryogenic chambers. With these hints of pernicious capitalism, we see that the dreaded alien isn’t the only beast on board. To draw things short, Allen is not dehumanizing because it deals with fear but is humanizing because it inspires and depicts fear artfully and in a dense human context of convincing characters and layers of subtexts dealing with the human predicaihent both personal and social. Anxiety and brute panic, when created as skillfully as Ridley Scott has in Alien, are far more "artistic” than all the cool, tasteful ponderings of passion-poor aesthetics. - — Afraid of fear What I see in these comments is a denegration of craft and naked emotion in favor of snobbish and tasteful notions of “serious” art. While the tremendous skill with which Scott scares us is acknowledged by nearly all, many critics object that he has in fact chosen to scare us. This is a grave error, for the skill in Alien is monumental.

In 41 games in 1979, the Bulls under head coach Bill Monkarsh picked up 26 wins against 15 losses, fourth best in the ECAC Division I New York-New Jersey Conference. The Bulls finally bowed out of the play-offs suffering defeats to St. Johns and Seton Hall. Bulls enjoyed a productive few exceptions and some will help carry them through next Offensively that, season experience, the with season, One of those players who will be sorely missed is four-year veteran John Pederson. In his tenure at UB, Pederson rattled opposing pitchers with his .344 batting average. A valuable asset to the Bulls, Pederson played first base, outfield and catcher in the Buffalo blue. His senior year was spent mostly behind the plate where he established the UB record for most putouts by a catcher, 540. At the plate he led Buffalo hits with 60 while stroking at a .429 clip. Returnees Pederson’s predecessor at catcher, Phil Ganci also leaves the Bulls after four years on the varsity squad. Although serious shoulder injuries kept Ganci away from defensive duties in his final two years, Phil was able to step in and perform superbly as the designated hitter. This year Ganci slugged eight home runs, tying him for the team lead with Ron Couche. Couche has another year of eligibility should he choose to return, and he will be welcomed back to ,Jim Wojcik, who Monkarsh’s outfield. holds the UB career homer mark with 13, will be back provided he doesn’t move on to the pro ranks Softball as well as freshman sensation Rudy Pettiford. Pettiford, who came out for Spring ball after declining to participate in the Fall schedule, broke into the lineup late, but appears to be a fixture for years to come. A strong line-drive hitter, Pettiford hovered around the .500 mark until late in the Spring and finished with a team high .471. His lack of appearances however, caused him to miss out on chances to qualify for the NCAA title. Other freshmen in the lineup who enjoyed successful rookie years were third-baseman Gene Dudek and shortsop-first baseman Dave Rosenhahn. Dudek, trying to replace the departed Mike Groh, struggled at first to find his batting eye, but by season’s end zeroed in for a .395 percentage. Rosenhahn chose UB after declining a seventh round draft pick by the Pittsburgh Pirates, and Monkarsh has to be pleased at the youngster’s decision. With a powerful arm, Rosenhahn makes up for some of his lack of agility with an uncanny ability to peg potential hitters out. At the plate Rosenhahn cracked a steady .324, with intermittent bursts of power. Southpaw Joe Hesketh lived up to pre-season expectations and stood out on the mound for the Bulls. Only a sophomore, Hesketh notched a stingy 0.90 earned run average and lost only three games in eight decisions. Back for another year, Joe can only hope to get some necessary support from the offense. Hesketh’s losses to Miami twice and Penn State once were weakly backed up by the Bulls total of five runs. Mike Betz and Ed Retzer are two key losses to the team. Betz completed his career at UB by winning five and losing only one. Retzer, who at 3-3 was also the victim of some temporary Buffalo batting slumps. The righthander is considered a pro-prospect and will very likely sign after the draft held this week. Monkarsh will count on Hesketh, Phil Rosenberg and Don Greibner to provide the nucleus of his pitching staff for the coming season.

We gon involved in academic committees and ir, academic changes in the mid-60's. -Terry Keegan, leader of the student activists, Ap " "The academic reforms were proposed by the Administration They were part of President Marlin Meyerson’s belief that the system needed change. -Claude Welch, then Dean of Undergraduate Education, April, 1479 " Student activists, as the quote above bears out, would like to believe that educational reforms initiated by UB in the 1960’s, such as the loosening of academic requirements, establishment of the Colleges the four course load and the pass-fail system of grading, were the result of student demands and pressures placed upon the Administration. However, the overview available eight years later indicates that the Administration and faculty, led by the liberal ideals of then President Meyerson, devised the changes and implemented them, often without significant student participation. Since the departure of Meyerson as President, however, the Ketter Administration and some general trends in higher education have whittled away at all the academic reforms of the Meyerson era. Gone are the four course load, bulletin-board courses, political education provided by the Colleges and independent study as a way of academiclife. In their place is found the return of General Education Some changes are due to national trends, some arise out of the Ketter Administration’s conservative ideology but all died without much student protest. — Early protest why it might appear that students were highly instrumental in bringing about educational change is the protest which shook UB in the Spring of 1966. Despite prevailing opinion that student protest was concentrated on the Viet Nam war, the first sign of discontent among the students at UB actually came over the quifstion of academic freedom and the right of students to participate in One reason decisions affecting their academic lives. “The Movement as tl activism was named, began to take shape in April, 1965 when a 1 chapter of the Students for a Democratic Society (SDSI nationwide radical organization was formed. On May 3, students and faculty angered for a variety of reasons (including the absence of a student delegate on the committee which selected the successor to retiring President Furnas) occupied Hayes Hall for several days. Fifteen students and professors joined in the sit-in, which climaxed a month long series of fruitless meetings with Furnas. The sit-in ended on May 5, but “The Movement” had already begun Four days later, pickets were set up outside the Office of the President. With SDS support, student leaders demanded more academic freedom as well as greater involvement in University decision making. Finally, Furnas, under heavy pressure, made a concession to the demonstrators by appointing a Task Force composed of students, administrators and professors to look into the democratization of decision making. Looking back fourteen years on the special Task Force, one member labelled it “ineffectual” in meeting the demands of students and faculty members. “We proposed that the President delegate to the students and faculty the power to run the University, something unheard of at that time,” he said. The member said the feeling common to the University community neighborhoods was that the school was headed for “an impasse which would prevent the University from operating.” Consequently, the Task Force felt something had to be done to insure the continued operation of the University during the deadlock. As it turned out, we were wrong. The Administration was never sufficiently challenged so their authority would be in question,” he said. The member added his feelings on why many of the reforms have since gone by the wayside. “The war in Viet Nam was the principle catalyst for the students’ dissent. A majority of the students were radicalized only temporarily; once the war was gone, the students were not really interested in pressing for academic ideals,” he said. “In sum, the rebellion was not as deep as it has been frequently portrayed.” The Task Force made its recommendations on University governance in the Fall of 1966. Tht 'graduate and undergraduate students supported it, but nothing ever came of the Task Force’s report, fart of the rcason, according to oneadrbinistrator, lies in the act the Task Force Was asking somethingno administrator of.a large niversity could go along with.” But in the midst of this, in stepped ar n Meyerson. The induction of the new President in September, |' 66, with his vision of what academic life should be like, played a huge role in the Task Force’s failure. As the member said, new Meyerson made “enough concessions to keep the students quiescent on the issue of academic governance. The liberal e ucational ideas of Martin Meyerson took away much of the steam behind The Movement. - The rise of \ academic reforms . . . University Students play an observer’s role Former Univereii President Martin Instituted such reforms as the four course load and the Colleges by Harvey Shapiro - i e Reforms old hat Reforms proposed by Meyerson on November 28, 1966 to the Senate were not new, by any means. Prestigious institutions Yale and Harvard had alreadyjeverted to the four course load and had euperimented with a pass-fail system previous to Meyerson’s ascent to the Presidency. As Claude Welch recalled, there was a general feeling m academic circles that the present system needed change. “Meyerson came into office proposing to open up the University and he did with lus educational reforms for students,” of M««t»r Fr«d Sn«ll Founded and guided — 1968—1971 most radical and controversial College said Welch. Meyerjon’s ideals*, education were much the same as the students’. In his report to the acuity Senate, Meyerson wrote, “everything possible must be done to encourage both intensity and variety in the student’s educational life. I t erefore propose that four courses be considered the normal full-time oad Meyerson strongly believed that, with more time on his . . —continued on next p*9*~ �educator of national standing. A top rank educator is needed in Buffalo because the State University of Buffalo is the largest of the 69 campuses in the SUNY system.” Meyerson states that, the day of his resignation, he urged leaders of the Faculty Senate to work out a “parallel faculty and governance student system.” Students at Pennsylvania are to be pleased with Meyerson’s appointment while the reported word from Albany is that Governor Rockefeller will have final say on UB’s new president. January 28 Dean of Undergraduate Studies Claude Welch moves to limit enrollment in College A’s “Conflict and Change in the local Community” which has drawn in upwards of 1,000 interested students. Welch, who pledges to limit the class to 500, says it threatens distort the Collegiate system. The course has been a haven for students to seeking independent study credit for organizing and carrying out political activism in the hands a student could delve into his other subjects more intensively. In retrospect, this assumption proved wrong but for Meyerson, depth was clearly more important than breadth. All of Meyerson s proposals were accepted unanimously by the Faculty Senate in 1968. But the Spring of 1968, the College system, though later to be harshly altered, began to take shape. By the Fall of 1969, the four course load, the pass-fail system and the reorganization ol departments were complete. But what these reforms meant to the students was still unclear. Mere approval For the most part, the student role in formulating the academic reforms was limited to mere acceptance of Meyerson’s plans. Students did fight off every attack from those who disagreed with Meyerson; and their efforts helped to stop attempts to change the focus of the Colleges in 1969. The Faculty Senate’s prospectus for the Colleges, which originally called for a limit on enrollment and threatened to dampen the experimental enthusiasm the Colleges created, was attacked strenuously by students and revised several times. By the time of its adoption, the prospectus was considered a partial victory for the College’s autonomy and self-determination a clear result of student - pressure. Meyerson first did away with Genera! Education by restructuring the undergraduate division. Previous to this proposal, the first two years of a student’s academic career were spent in the “University College, where the student had to take a wide variety of courses. Meyerson dissolved the University College and created the present structure of the seven Faculties and Schools under a Division of Undergraduate Education and a Graduate Division, which is the last remaining vestige of Meyerson’s reforms. Second, Meyerson gave the students a theater for “radical” courses by creating the College system. While today, UB students think of the College’s courses as easy “A’s”, at worst, or a different way to learn, at best, in the late 1960’s the Colleges provided alternative courses that sought to change society. The first, and most politically active, of these colleges was created soon after Meyerson’s proposal was made. In 1968 College A, under the guidance of Master Fred Snell, was born. The College became a haven for students involved in radical activism, aspiring to educate the students of the 1960’s on the implications and need for social change in America. Stale academics Like the four course load, the creation of the Colleges, perhaps the most important concession made to the protesters of “The Movement,” did not involve student participation, as Snell recalled. “At that time, Meyerson and others believed that academia was stale, that it needed some innovations.” But College A, and the other Colleges, never worked out the way Meyerson and students envisioned them. Their identification with radical activism and the sometimes huge enrollments they were able to draw in 1968-70 made the Colleges a threat to traditional academics. College A, in particular, was despised by many including the Buffalo community. In 1969, the Faculty Senate reviewed the Colleges and devised a set of rules which Snell labelled then (and now) as “too confining.’* Additionally, Snell was angered over the Faculty Senate’s refusal to consult the student population on what they would like to see the Colleges become. “They (the faculty members) Wanted to give the image of academic freedom without giving it substance.” Snell also questioned the Faculty Senate’s motives in limiting the freedoms Meyerson had proposed. “Anything new, particularly the creation of many new educational units, cuts down on resources elsewhere,” he said. “And everyone wants to keep their resources.” The students’ newfound freedom to learn what they wanted to learn had already been restricted. Snell felt the freshness and excitement of College A dwindle and eventually gave up Kis title of Master of College A in 1972. Within a year, College A disappeared, “killed by the new Administration.” Thinking back on the death of College A, Snell said the movement for reform had been slowing down over the years and that cut into student interest for the college. “After Kent State, students realized that the corporate and governmental community January 30 English professor Mac Hammond resigns from his position as - secretary of the Faculty Senate, saying he wants to alert the campus to a move that change would the Senate’s method of representation from a town-meeting type system, where about 1200 faculty are automatically members, to elected representatives numbering about 70. Hammond claims the shift is supported by a with the Senate’s propensity to deal with national political issues. The Reporter January 30 makes a debut on campus as the attempt Administration’s to counter what it feels is a biased perspective from The Spectrum. The stated reason is to “bring a sense of community to the campus.” Robert Marlett is named as editor. - February February 2 • onset of negotiations with the Athletic department, the boycott was reinstituted by two of the eight players, who are objecting to insensitive and misleading treatment of black athletes February 4 A subcommittee of the Faculty Senate reveals its - recommendation to alter the membership to a body of elected representatives, “conservative” block in the Senate which is upset black basketball players J> continues. After ending with the automatic The boycott by rather than membership of 1200 —continued on page 18— structure would do anything, even kill, to stop their attempts at soon after this,” Snell recalled. With the arrival of a new decade, a new breed of student also arrived. This contributed to the end of the reform movement, said reform. Protest died Snell. “The student of the 1960’s and the student of the 1970’s are very different,’ he said. "In the 60’s, students were pessimistic about the future of man but they fell they could somehow do something about the corporate structure. The student of the 1970’s is also pessimistic about the future of man but he believes that nothing can be done about the corporate structure and there is no use in trying to change things," For the same reasons, Snell believes, the 1970’s have seen the loss of practically all the educational reforms brought about under Meyerson. “There is no strong opposition against the return to the five course load because students don’t feel they can change things. just They want to learn a trade, graduate, find a job, make lots of money and settle in Suburbia. They are not concerned with the social situation around them and that is quite different from the student of the 1960’s." Besides a different brand of student, educational reforms have since been taken back by the Ketter Administration simply because they were gifts from above, not clamored for from below. “At that time (refo ms) were more of what Meyerson’s sense that his is what should be. They weren’t implemented because the students wanted Colleges or a four course load,” commented Snell. In the end. the failure of the protests of the 1%0’s to demand specific educational reforms and follow them through led to the quiet demise of the initiatives brought by Meyerson's vision of a great university. . And their quiet demise . . The innovations disappear - - — a Uni on Strife*, Fi Student strikes, in profit of cops on campus, keep classes shut a weak The historical roots American people was being wound down had now taken a new and disquieting turn. Across the nation’s campuses the reaction was swift and tumultuous; a wave of violent and unrestrained demonstrations that peaked with four slayings at Kent State. The ultimate calamity had come to pass, the spilling of student blood at the hands of trigger happy National Guard troops. The nation was horrified and the campuses responded with more outbreaks of violence. At UB students battled with riot police along Main St. Clouds of choking tear gas wafted over University Plaza and down towards Hertel Avenue as helmeted cops prevented the demonstration from proceeding downtown along the main thoroughfare. Final examinations were cancelled as the upheaval continued on for a week. But when the semester finally ended so did the tumult. Those students who were either graduating or departing for summer recess, packed up their belongings and departed from the strife tom campus battle scene for the sanctuary of home, workplace or travel. Burned out movement The upshot of the tumultuous Spring of 1970 was a community backlash in the form of a sweeping grand jury investigation. The controversial grand jury received testimony for several months, subpoenaing piles of University documents and scores of witnesses including police, faculty (including several members of the Hayes Hall 45), administrators and students. The Grand Jury was to make recommendations on the future relationship between the University and the community. Its final report consisted of a series of chilling recommendations urging greater University control over radical activities, a suggestion they stressed ought to be heeded lest the community and local government take things into their own hands. The Spectrum, among others, charged the Grand Jury findings implied a" severe and unseemly abridgement of University autonomy and even mote on first seriously infringement unconstitutional amendment guarantees of free expression. The following semester an eerie calm settled over the nation’s campuses. In the aftermath of the previous spring’s wrenching violence and anarchy, the new tranquil atmosphere took on almost bizarre undercurrents. No one could convincingly account for the strange discontinuity. Was it that the previous semester’s violent dynamicism had burnt the movement out? To be sure, the burning issues were still alive and clearly visible. No one really knew, not the journalists, not the students, not the University administration, not the police. For dramatic or metaphorical musical affect, no novelist or composer could have possibly constructed a more resounding and cathartic finale. But what bee amp of the issues that motivated such a remarkable surge of activism? Perhaps a contemplative turning inwards the increased prevalence of musical, recreational and drug induced escapism accounts for the plot’s unfulfilled resolution. Or maybe the channeling off of energies into other areas, like environmental concerns, helped defuse the situation. Growing opposition to the war amongst the population at large and the partial implementation of student demands for greater participation in University governance came to be recognized by students as taking the edge off some of the more established fact rabid militancy. By 1970 affirmative action had become a widespread institutional policy, ROTC programs were disbanded at scores of universities coast to coast and America was Anally disengaging from Sotuheast Asia. With many of the battles won the always small group of political activist students leaders found it more difficult to key into the hidden rage of their peers. — - — —t w �» a. r< r---—--------------- r I I r** I I | | | Valid May 11 Rip May 17 - —————I M Valid | offour^g^g [ Buy one 8-oz. steak dinner for $5.95 or one 12-oz. steak dinner for $8.95*.get the same second dinner FREE with this coupon, Dinner includes NY sirloin steak on rye bread, steak fries and served salad with your choice of dressing.

Sometimes this occurs slowly. Sometimes it occurs not at all But for me, the initial formulations of moral and political beliefs came in one finally as hypocrites. I would sit and watch the war on the evening news and have bad dreams about it and they, instead, complained only of the demonstrators and “their ratty hair.” In school, my teachers weren’t dealing with or even mentioning the war and I began to question the relevance of what they were teaching me. I felt alienated from my peers with Watching from the sidelines - An Impressionable youth UB. I lived nearby (on then on University Avenue, Niagara Falls Boulevard) and, during the fall and spring when it 1 often cold, wasn’t too frequented the campus (in those days there was only one). I liked was my visits. The campus was or at least exciting from the point of view of 1 a skinny, spectacled boy on a bike pedalling amongst the “big kids” in a place my mother forbade me to go. Of course, now that I think of it, it wasn’t all that different from now. It was more crowded 1 think (the Amherst Campus being only a contractor’s wet dream), but most people seemed intent on getting to classes and the like. But unlike now, there were “special frequent events” and mass vociferation. exciting - Many buildings were scrawled with slogans and obscenities. The presses against the turmoil Commentary by Boss Chapman hairs handing out leaflets. 1 recall one tall fellow with stringy blonde hair reaching to the base of his scapulae and wearing only a pair of cutoffs with a peace sign patch on the seat. He handed me a pink sheet bearing the chubby, shiny face of Mao Zedong. I kept it for a long time. A vicarious rebel Though I understood why all this activity was going on, the environment struck me as rather jovial and festive. 1 enjoyed the bombast, the chants, the boarded windows, the heady anger. I enjoyed it almost the way anothe; child my age would enjoy a parade or circus. And so I went up the hill to the campus now and again, to sight-see, hand out, and to revel in my vicarious “radicalism.” But it was UB that changed this attitude. During the Spring of 1970, there was a big march down Main Street beginning at the campus. Someone told me about it in history class and I rushed there as soon as I got out of school. Things were well under way when I arrived, panting. A line of students strung out across the street bore a banner and chanted, “Fight your own fucking war!” People were throwing rocks and garbage at police who had gathered down past • window of the Marine Midland bank (at least that’s what 1 heard standing among the spectators). Somebody got hit in the head with a misaimed beer bottle. This 1 know, because she stood only a yard from me. 1 decided 1 didn’t like this. The mood was ugly and the violence made me feel a bit sick. As I was leaving, I heard screaming. I turned and saw hundreds running back the way they had come away from canisters spewing white clouds. I began to run too. I stopped going to UB after - that except for rare visits and contented myself with monitoring the war from home. My views on the war, on the U.S., on the North Vietnamese, and on the issues of capitalism versus communism developed independent of the inflammatory and often misrepresentative rhetoric that continued on campus. I never grew up to be the radical I once thought I owuld be. On the other hand, I didn’t become a conservative or a Republican even though my tendencies are sedate. And for this I owe, in part, UB, for it was UB that presented me with an unforgettable experience which was, and still is, a personal epiphany fo;the cruelties by committed system a committed to “keeping order:” Herzog’s my first and hopefully last whiff ‘oft«argasf ; • ..... — . �■ a, whose office was prosecuting the student trial of the ROTC demonstrators.

A group of about 20 riot-equipped police campus appeared and, after a rock was thrown at Regan’s window, chased the students back to Norton Hall, where other students threw up barricades to block the entrance to police.

We create for ourselves a the Seventies. The the very concept, the to justify all sorts of personal gospel on the decade and damn anyone who disagrees with it. For this “infant” of the Sixties, those years of revolution and revelation began quietly on the couch in my aunt’s apartment. The radio was playing the Supremes’ “Baby Love.” That experience of sitting there, enjoying the song and the pleasures of being independent and all of seven years old, remains my most accessible memory of the Sixties. Emotionally, the Sixties spiral out from “Baby Love” but it is absurd (not to mention difficult) to relate the entirety of the Sixties through one song. Perhaps it is this melange of private legacies that makes the sixties a lost horizon populated with left over symbols. We look at the decade and see surface rather than substance. Symbols are shorthand for the mind; their validity depends on the quality of their restranslation back to the things they’re supposed to stand for. And there’s the rub we are hardly telepathic. “Baby Love” is not going to explain the Sixties for anyone except me; perhaps the art of the times will reach more people surely there are more symbols to work with. After all, we probably can’t do any worse than Bob Dylan. “I don’t know what it meant” he said recently, referring to the Sixties, “but I’m sure glad they are over.” - Perhaps It is the melange of private legacies that makes the . . sixties a lost horizon populated with . left over symbols . . arrested.

There is no mistaking however, their seminal to influence on the period. to In popular fiction insanity and the insane individual, became heroes, if there were any at all. This insanity, in a society where the sane thing was the Vietnam war, cropped up in books like Ken Kesey’s One Flew over the Cuckoo's Nest and R.D. Laing's The Divided Self. “The fiction of the sixties was escapist, absurdist, and surrealist," states Howard Wolf, an English professor and author of the Sixties-based novel Forgive Thy Father. “But the poetry was prophetic,” he adds. Specifying one of these themes, Wolf claimed that “What links Tolkien, (author of The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings) and Bartholme was their use of fantasy.” Fantasy, Wolf says, either “represented a denial of the present social experience” as in The Lord of the Rings where Tolkein creates a complete world with a map and an ancient history, or “an assertion of the individual consciousness over social reality” as in the works of David Bartholme and William Gass, Poetry came in diverse flavors, from Braugtigan and Vonnegut, to the “Beats” like Ginsberg, Kerouac and Le Roi Jones, to Nikki Giovanna and Gwendolyn Brooks. The latter are usually corralled in to that nebulous school, “black poetry.” But the diversity of are usually corralled in to that nebulous school, black poetry.” But the diversity of black poets meant that if a school of black poetry did exist, it would have to be a school without walls. Gwendolyn Brooks’ tempered verse in classical form, for instance, rarely reached the forefront of this country’s media consciousness while Giovanna’s line (“nigger you can kill”) did. Writers never seemed to gain the stature of songwriters and singers, in the popular consciousness of the sixties. Considering however that presently only 20% of the American population read books with any frequency, it is almost suprising that they had the influence they did. Many writers fought a battle to assert self over the image that others thought they should project. James Baldwin was roundly criticized by both blacks and whites for not writing violent enough. Some “radical” critics of the time saw the worth of any artist as proportional only to how his work added to the struggle. While some artists were co-opted into spitting out what others thought to be art, by and large, this “proper” revolutionary < Art and anarchy The Sixties loaded with symbols aiming to imitate life — Sixties music Never had American musicians carried as much weight as they did during the Sixties. Singers, like Dylan and Baez, seemed to lead the charge for change; they were the Pied Pipers of this country’s disenchanted middle-class youth. In these early years, rock, recently birthed from r&b, harped on teenage love and the heartaches you’d forget by the next milkshake. The folkies spent their evenings with sad-eyed social injustices or in communion with nature, while Motown packaged black musicians to “pass,” recommending bouffants to their female musicians and short cropped hair for their male musicians. And please, no songs about how black folks got it bad in this country! Though some people today see them as wifnps, we often forget that in those days to be a rock-n-roller was a rebellious act in and of itself. The groundwork for social upheaval when rockers took up popular causes. When this campus experienced its period of unrest (1969-1971), Zappa and his Mothers of Inventions, Jim Morrison and Jimi Hendrix were, if not the rock of ages, at least the rock of the age. Upon Hendrix’s death in 1970, Joe Fernbacher, an editor for The Spectrum, said of him, “Jimi Hendrix in his short career created a physical manifestation of the black sexual myth; he was created by the white world and he shunned his creators and came back a black man playing black music to anyone who would listen.” What modest success jazz experiences today was predicted on the experiments conducted in this period by “jazzsucians” like Thelonious Monk, John Coltrane, and Charlie Mingus.

Artists are not guns Cinema’s reflection Point of view The most interesting and intriguing role the arts played in the Sixties concerns the absolute glut of visual images that are part and parcel of the epoch. From a civil rights poster, printed by the then infant poster industry, to the image of sheriff Bull Connor’s dogs ripping into the flesh of King’s marchers and transmitted into our living rooms courtesy of network television, or into our hands via gl6ssy magazines like Life and Look or reinterpreted in the darkness of a movie theatre, the visual image refused*to Hollywood, having graduated from newsreels, couldn’t compete with the immediacy of television. Besides, we had to relax even though we earned the war and this country’s internal problems within us like a pregnant woman does the child within her. 1967, more than any other year seemed cricial to the sixties. Bonnie & Clyde hit the screen, showing us kids from another era living the Hell Angels’ motto to the hilt: “Live fast,die young and leave a good looking corpse Despite their outlaw status, they - ” were liked, and everyone who made the analogy between new America. These movies tried to make the search for a new America by America’s children more immediate by exemplifying the whole by one or two examples. I think it would be fair to say that there were thousands of Easy Riders across this country, but it was easier for us to understand one. Alice’s Resturantwas counter-culture humor, derived from the same vein of humor of artists like Dick Gregory and, earlier, Lenny Bruce. It was a painful catharsis the youth, and the country were undergoing. Midnight Cowboy spended in 1969 along with / Am Curious (Yellow)', the sexual revolution had made it to the screen. That year ended with Z, which although occurring in another country, showed government doing anything to maintain its status-qub including riding roughshod over the alleged rights of its citizens’ or its ‘independent’ press. and the letter ‘Z’,” a character in the film says towards the end, while reading a lengthy litany of things . . . which the government has declared as contraband, in the Greek alphabet stands for ‘freedom’” “ “ Andy Hardly and the sense of history Some films of the sixties also seem to belong to the fifties Petet Seller’s black comedy Dr Strangelove or How I learned to love the bomb continued the experimentation with dark humor as a form of cartharsis. West Side Story was 1961, Psycho, 1960; Doctor Zhivago, 1966. And these are only the films that were quite popular. The resurrection of musicials also occurred then, which on the surface has little to do with the flavor of the time. Were movies basically serving two audiences, one which turned to Hollywood for movies that would entertain (as it had always been Hollywood’s raison d’etre ) and one which demanded social accountability from this monolith of American, and to a degree, international, culture? One of the first films I saw when I came to UB in the Fall of 1976 was a locally produced feature by Marty Sadoff documenting the interaction of the community and UB in 1969. Andy Hardly goes to College sent this freshman reeling with the thought that what transpires in the film happened right outside the doors of the theatre. I emild only guess as to what really happened here during the aprocryal term of Spring 1969. Since then, 1 hhave never noticed the film screened again. I don’t know why this is so but I do know that its absence and the absence of Sixties art in general has left a gaping hole in the continuity of life on this campus. While we needn’t take over a building as a homage to the spirit of the campus unrest, we should know at least the history of this place. Students without a sense of history about their country, their parents’ culture, and themselves as students are at a distinct the Because, believe disadvantage. me, administrators and community at large remember. But it is supposedly the nature of the times that students don’t see themselves as related to a past student body if only by the attitude of an administration and community reaction from a knowledge of that old student body. Questions still unanswered Whatever soporific drug there is doping up students, removing even the normal curiosity people have about those who predeccessed them, it works pretty quickly. Joe Fernbacher, an editor on The Spectrum, said of the film a . . with original music term after the siege of Spring ’69, in the background the events of last year’s campus eruptions unfold before an audience already anethesized by schoolwork and general apathy . . People only seem to want to see if they are in it. They seem to care little about why the film even exists . . . What I want to know is why isn’t it (seen by everyone whether student, administrator, or housewife) and why do peopje seem not to care about its fate.” Nine years later most of us are asking “what film?” and “what fate?” The art of Sixties and for any period exists for two-fold reasons: it simultaneously attempts to delineate an area of the artist’s life which he has decided to comment on and to exist as an artifact for people looking back, looking to re-experience the spirit of the time or Weltanschauung, rather than getting bogged down in the symbols of a time. And that’s why I’ve talked in some length about the art of this time. OK. The radicals of the Sixties are seen nowadays, with a 'chuckle, as the . be anything less than a'visceral account of the times. When the Crimean War became the first war ever to be documented by photographs, it made the war a lot less removed from the people of England it may have even helped end the war. When the Vietnam War commenced every evening at six o’clock on 21 inch screens in our living rooms, it — became debatable whether it mobilized us into the massive anti-war movement or bludgeoned us into a glazed passivity as the minicam’s eye showed us crippled Vietnamese and American soldiers, and yes, even our own dead. After all, wasn’t Fred and Ethel on the Screen five minutes ago? Despite the confusion and the Schizophrenia which television carried to the nth degree, the visual image remained awesomely potent.

In Cold Blood ran through the nation’s veins and everyone loathed the ugly underside of the South. TwoPoitier films, Guess who coming to Dinner and In the Heat of the flight, continued to look darkly at the South, but more importantly they also broached the subject as to what might happens if the civil rights movement really overcame all barriers. (We would have to wait for Putney Swope however, to see this unexplored territory charted for us in cinematic terms). 1968 brought hope to some people, but a confused awe to most as Moonchild looked upon us from 2001: A Space Odyssey.

That may be so but to raise again the question posed by Jimi Hendrix, “Are you (or rather we) experienced?” We should be, at least more so than our sixties counterparts. But in many ways, we seem to have given up anything other than a pap claim to the legacies of the sixties. Art supposedly imitates life and a lot of the legacy lies there. Fembacher asks the quiescent returnees to this university, a“aftcr all, we (the returning students) starred in the film and certainly we all weren’t actors on a stage, now were we?” Nine years later, all of us, both children and infants of the sixties* are still scratching our heads over that question. �fact-finding group of three professors releases its report of the events of February 25, when police battled students in Norton Hall.

Lewandowski argued the law would not be in violation of freedom of speech and press because the U.S. Constitution does not protect malicious attacks on police.

As for the attempt at expanding the disorderly conduct law, it never made it past debates. - — Radical hangout “She was endeared by the radicals on campus,” echoed James Brennan, who succeeded Hanley as editor-in-chief and now works for the Buffalo Evening News. “She always had a political commune around her. But she was a good leader, and people were loyal to her, even if they disagreed with her views.” The newspaper’s format and appearance mirrored these views to the point of saturation. In the September 22, 1969 issue, a picture of a “Support the Buffalo 9” button was prominently featured on the front page against a nebulous ttokground, accompanied by an article on the victims of what students considered a police purge of radical leaders. In the following months, extensive coverage of the trials was provided always written from the presumption that the case was a political farce. Many more special features and reports were to follow, almost all backing the rampant student movement. Taking a stand against the then called Dimension Vietnam war, 77ie Spectrum’s magazine contained in its October 10 issue numerous articles on the wretched battle in Southeast Asia. The mood of the supplement was exemplified by its story entitled “Old soldiers never die . . . only the young ones.” The Spectrum front pages were the most visual forms of communication the paper had during Hanley’s editorial stint. Among the memorable are the drawing of Jesus Christ’s face, with the legend, “Reward for information leading to the apprehension of Jesus Christ, wanted for sedition, criminal anarchy, vagrancy and conspiring to overthrow the established government; a red diagonal heading “conspiracy” against a black background, highlighting an article in the centerfold about the UB administration’s stand on the ongoing campus unrest; a picture of Hayes Hall ripped in half. — — - la^ to er - 1967 origins - The origin of the student anti-war movement at UB can be traced through The Spectrum to 1967, specifically The October 3 issue, when a half-page ad taken out by “a Committee of Sixty-Three Graduate Faculty Members of the Department of Psychology” Students and urged the UB community, to demonstrate against the war in a march originating from Norton Union. Then editor Michael D’Amico got involved in the growing sentiment when he devoted an editorial explaining why the Student Senate must support a resolution condemning the Vietnam War. As a sidenote, the resolution was passed. stop the war,” was the motto of an ad “Strike for knowledge appearing in a March, 1968 issue of The Spectrum demanding that TA’s and faculty “talk about the war in classes or dismiss them” during a two-day period, March 19-20. Ads urging UB students to join the armed forces soon disappeared from the pages of the campus - publication. The following March (1969), after a relatively quiet 12 months, included a teach-in, a week-long introspective during which there were no classes. The Spectrum devoted numerous pages to information regarding events on campus during the week. The paper was not only recognized as an important force on campus and a dangerous influence within the conservative community, but also as a leader among campus newspapers across the country. The Minnesota School of Journalism, in its annual competition for student the publications, awarded 77ie Spectrum an All-American rating highest honor - for the 1969-69 and 1969-70 years. A judge called the paper “a Vital” contribution to campus journalism. The Spectrum's reputation for radical editorial perspectives filtered through the underground network of student activists making the paper’s name well known at politically active campuses. After Hanley’s stint as the paper’s head, during which the office had become a hangout for UB’s militants, the editorial board expressed a desire to return to a more conservative image, and along that thought, elected Brennan as editor. — “Campus Unrest” alternative to the staff,” Brennan stated in a recent interview. The Spectrum, during my term, gave a more balanced account of the events. The issues we covered were very campus oriented day care center, the Colleges, and things like that.” But even the conservative Brennan referred to as a “puppet editor” by a former co-worker could not get away from controversy.. by the “The office was taken over four times when I was here women’s movement, the blacks’ movement and others. I gave them them editorial columns, their chance to voice their opinions by but they usually gave up after a couple of weeks.” Columns were a popular tool df The Spectrum during Brennan’s time, the most prominent being “Campus Unrest,” begun in the November 16, 1970 issue, by the campus staff and preoccupied mainly . with campus unrest. However, the main thrust of the UB uprisings had come and gone by then. As Brennan himself put it, “Things were leveling off by the time I came into the picture.” His editorial of March 17, 1971, in fact, dealt with activity attempting to “help initiate the resurgence of the student anti-war movement.” But there was no reviving it at UB. It was dead, past history. The Spectrum editor-in-chief of 1972-3 wrote in the Dimension supplement the sixties became history and life began of October 6-, 1972, anew in the seventies, in an age where society settled down.” And The [f.Stf* Spectrum joined them tr S “1 represented an Jn3 1 'V hi ir JjBf J *vV sr firs? t Events that would alter the course of the University’s history were and The Spectrum was not reporting that all was idyllic on campus. Between 1968 and 1972, depending on who the editor-in-chief was each year, The Spectrum varied from being a generally supportive organization covering the disturbances and issues and once in a while featuring an affirmative editorial backing the anti-war movement to acting as a central leader and organizer. Yet the basic character of the newspaper remained clear throughout those times thoroughly political. 1969 and 1970 was the era of great confusion in this University, and The Spectrum became a reflection of the times. Led by editor Linda Hanley described by her co-workers as a radical and political activist UB’s paper was a haven for student viewpoints concerning the Vietnam War, the Buffalo Nine, the anti-ROTC demonstrations, and, striking closer to home, the police invasion and takeover of the UB campus. In 1970, The Spectrum was sold in the city as a radical alternative to the coverage being provided in the Courier-Express and Buffalo Evening News. “The paper was damn radical that year,” said one of Hanley’s co-workers referring to the ’69-’70 term. “She (Hanley) was recognized and loved by the radical movement. She came the closest to being a political leader. taking place all around, ' «. I** Coloring ‘The Spectrum’ Reporting the news with all the outrage words could convey — — — “Pigs Off Campus” But certainly the most controversial and important topic of Hanley’s time, and probably of that whole era, was the assault and seizure of the UB campus by the Buffalo police in late February of 1970, designed to contain and suppress radical violence. Along with detailed and spacious reports and photos already in the paper, the incident sparked Hanley to write an editorial entitled, Pigs Off Campus,” an emotional essay that had far reaching effects. Accusing the police (referred to by their more popular name) of senselessly beating on UB demonstrators in the name of law and order, she explained how easily students would become radicals after witnessing the goings on at UB. Hanley’s radical use of the English language drew fire from Buffalo city officials. Buffalo Councilman Raymond Lewandowski sought to disorderly • curb the radical paper by seeking to revamp the city s being conduct laws to include such “dangerous language” as was printed in The Spectrum. The Pigs Off Campus editorial was cited as evidence by Lewandowski and debate began in'the Council to update — “ ... " by Carlos Vallarlno * �8 lawns stepping around injured students.

Three do remain though, working quietly within the University administration rather than against it. Ron Stein, Assitant to the Preisdent; Mark Huddleston, a teacher of Political Science; and Roosevelt Rhodes, Director of Minority Affairs have since redirected their energies away from political activism to administrative and academic concerns. But still they are willing and able to focus clearly on the often convoluted and contradictory events of those blustery years. Student activists during the 60s’ uprising displayed a spectrum of political ideologies ranging from the amused disinvolvement of the Yippies to the leftist radicalism of the SDS. What began as one movement into different splintered political factions, reports Ron Stein who served as GSA President during the 67—68 school year. A small group with one ideology and methodology joined Youth Against War and Racism (YAWF) to bring an end to the war; a larger group belonged to Students for a Democratic Society (SDS) which had its own ideology and methodology, and a still larger group of Yippies Anarchists interested in general hell raising to point out the absurdity of the things that were happening.” the — Apathetics As President of the Undergraduate Student Association Huddleston tried to “run a fine line” between the leftist radicals and the apathetics. “1, and most others, were in the middle; all opposed to the war but less interested in Utopia.” There was an astounding number of apathetics according to Huddleston. A demonstration of 4000 students was considered large. “This is not to underestimate the heady atmosphere,” he said. “This was one of the most active in the country.” Then Chairman of the Black Student Union, Roosevelt Rhodes, agrees with Huddleston on the stature of this campus but refused to underestimate the voice of the apathetics. He said, “There were no students that sat idly by,. Most had some campuses position and were willing to express it As Chairman of BSLf, Rhodes’ efforts were directed toward civil rights activism. Rhodes strove to develop an organizational strategy to represent the interests of minority studnts. What began as a small campus group quickly grew into one of the most successful BSUs in the country at The BSU focusing that time. demonstrations opportunities for organized equal on minorities — the initiation of a black studies program, the recruitment of minority students, and increased hiring of minority staff. students became involved until we had a cuple thousand marching through the hallways of the Med school We eventually brought them to our position and they opened the doors to minority students.” Civil rights was Rhodes’ major concern but this was only one issue that was part of a much larger ideal: the student struggle for increased control over their own destinies. Said Rhodes, “There was little opportunity for students to influence policy at that time. The main thing was that students act as a group. We saw the need to pull together even though there were Civil rights most One of the successful demonstrations led by the BSU, in which blacks and whites marched together, was against the Medical school which had not been actively recruiting minority students and had in fact “graduated only one or two black doctors in its entire history,” Rhodes. “We started according to demonstrating with 60 people and more as identified themselves democratic liberals who “remained rational,” the using method of demonstration but disregarding ideology. “The democratic liberals were able to separate what was constructive and what was destructive. They were committed to the cause but could still laugh and have a good time,” Stein said. As President of GSA, Stein was immersed in the democratic liberal group. “My purpose was to measure the pulse of the GSA which was changing rapidly from a service function to an activist function with the emergence of the new left. The GSA had a strong voice in University affairs and was in a position to speak out on many issues.” The issues of greatest concern, according to Stein, were student control, military recruitment on campus, the Themis project, police presence on campus, and the bombing of Cambodia. According to Stein, the invasion of Cambodia served as a turning point for campus demonstrations. Up until that time, demonstrations had been free of violence. But this escalation of the war tremendous ideologicial differences.” The war and civil rights served as motivations for the more general goal of increased student involvement in the affairs that affected their lives. Death was very real to many students. Eighteen year olds could be drafted but could not vote. And freedoms that students today take for granted had to be fought for; freedoms like open visitation in dormitories and student participation in administrative affairs. “People were acting out of a sense of concern; they didn’t see any other options. The demonstrations were a conscious attempt express to feelings and unconscious attempt to act out frustrations,” said Huddleston. students Apathetics redux According to Rhodes, the war coupled with the civil rights movement forced people to get involved. Today he sees general apathy among college students. “We don’t have compelling enough issues now to get them off their butts. People today have illusion that the social the line for their principles. Money maybe.” Stein holds a more tolerant view of today’s apathy. He said, “There always were and always will be a number of apathetics. There is nothing wrong with not being involved. It’s better than seeing a situation involved.” sparked already smouldering tempers, and violence became an outlet for frustrations. “Before Cambodia only property was destroyed,” Stein said, “but afterwards personal injury came into the scene. People didn’t mind hurting other people then.” Cambodia was a major issue in terms of fracturing student sentiment but there were many other issues having just as many views on how to deal with them. Said Huddleston, “There was a whole range of attitudes and issues which tended to be crowded toward the liberal end of the spectrum. There were a lot of people who were varying shades of Marxists taking part in intellectual discussions and there were the climate is good; most people can get into college and get some kind of financial aid. Few seem willing to place their security on 960s. •the Associati where students must get Rhodes’ struggle for minority rights continues but the demonstrations were not futile. He feels particularly proud of advancements made in the recruitment of minority students and the growth of the University Heights Service Center for minority students’ problems. “As a private institution, UB was looked upon by many poor people as a place on a hill which they had no way of getting into. It’s different now. We can feel proud of the advancements that have been made.” The effect of the demonstrations on the country’s war effort cannot be measured, but the ultimate goal of securing more student involvement in University policy was achieved to some degree. But attitudes have changed. The seventies nurtured the “Me Generation” in which concern shifted from the mass and its unifying issues to the individual and self-gratificatiqp. Said Huddleston, “I don’t know if it’s because there are no overriding issues or what but there is not much visible concern today.” �guilty of maintaining premises for use of narcotics stemming from a pot raid on his the unlawful 1967.

The American Civil Union filed charges with the Justice - sticking pellets Liberties - department. subsequent government investigation, A however, dropped the case on the grounds that there was a lack of “conclusive evidence.” Police and city government leaders at the time Keeping also denied that their officers used bird shot in their guns to quell the rioters. However, according to Walterich, “There were pellets in their guns. It’s a standard riot control technique. You fire into the streets and the pellets bounce and hit the demonstrators.” Carl Magavero, officer presently in charge of Community Services still claims that “We only had tear gas in the riot guns.” Yet, photos were taken shortly after the disturbance showing bird shot lodged in the skin of several protesters.

He brought his riot stick and produced a can of mace from his jacket. He sprayed the crowd. Several people were doused at point blank range.

After a violent riot in which several demonstrators and police were injured in March, the Police set up a base in Clark Hall and occupied the campus for two weeks before the University’s President, Peter Regan, and the city of Buffalo as well as the State decided that the police presence government should be “phased out” (see timeline). hearings, held Ketter was chosen mainly because the Trustees sought someone who would maintain peace on campus. SA officials and faculty, after a meeting with Ketter, deem him unacceptable in dealing with University problems. On the same day, construction finally begins t the Amherst campus sight. ■ This first incursion proved to be the most mild confrontation of those between students and the Police. This first clash also instilled indignance and most of outrage among the faculty-and whom felt that the Academic environment is off limits apart from the domain of the “oppressive” City Riot Squad. How could we practice our academic and social freedom, they thought, when we are so stifled by police involvement on campus? “According to the law we had to do things,” one officer from precinct 3 downtown said recently. “The University property is not sacred ground like an ambassador’s residence in foreign countries. We have the duty to police the campus too.” - No community allegience Liaison Officer for the third precinct, John Walterich, who took part in the police occupation of campus nine years ago, agrees. “The University is an integral part of the City. Since mqpy students are from out of town they may not feel allegiance with the community. But they spend money here. And what happens in the. University community also affects the Buffalo community.” After another rally in Haas Lounge the night of May 7, the most brutal and panicky battle exploded between students and the campus and city police. After the meeting, the students (composed of University and local high school groups) filed leaderiess down to the Red Barn on Main Street. According to Richard Rosche, an attorney who graduated from UB, when a black and white city police car came patrolling the area, it was screamed at and chased by the students, numbering about 2000? Shortly thereafter, the 400 City Police and the Erie County Sheriffs Squad merged in on the students and began firing tear gas cannisters and bird shot pellets. The combined force of the County Sheriff’s Department'and the city authorities then chased the students towards the Squire Hall (then complex than most believe, according to some poliemen who participated in “controlling” the students during the riots. According to one officer, “We had to make our decisions instantly. How Could we tell that if we clubbed a student a certain number of times that he would stay down?” “The policemen weren’t happy about being there,” explains Walterich, “because there was lots of legitimate sentiment against the Viet Nam War.” Walterich, who lived in the same house as the Sigma Pi Epsilon fraternity at the time, believes that many “basically level-headed students” were used by “dishonest people who wanted to use the power of the large group for their own radical purposes.” The “Weathermen” and the “Yippies” had some radical influence on campus, says Walterich, and they “caused the country a lot of grief.” ‘We’re both victims,” asserts Walterich Though the city police department engaged in lusty battle with the student body on several occasions, and occupied the campus for two weeks from an army-like base in the basement of Clark Hall, some officers say that they held no malice towards the student body. “We didn’t like being lined up against deent kids, but we had no choice in being there,” said one officer. “I couldn’t be influenced by my own sympathies.” “My student friends qould cat-call me when I was marching around campus,” admits Walterich. But when the day was over, he ‘continues, they would eat and talk together as friends. Other officers weren’t so understanding. “These students were living in a fantasy world. We showed them that they couldn’t get away with it. This is America,” explains an officer who said that he was hit by a rock during the May demonstration. Keeping the peace Even though several students were beaten and arrested by the city police department, and even though 45 faculty members were arrested for a demonstration peaceful sit-in in the then Administration, building, Hayes Hall, Walterich believes that the campus no longer bears hostility towards the Police. “1 think that the alienation students have with the police is more of a reflections of a general anti-establishment attitude,” he said. , “Under the law, we have a responsibility to keep • the peace,” he added. by Rob irt Basil , �and F are threatened by the governing Collegiate Assembly with revocation of their charters if they do not leave their off-campus headquarters.

Many students and faculty objected in principle to military research in what they felt should be an intellectual atmosphere dedicated to human betterment and understanding not war. Physics professors and administrators were outraged because the Physics Department had been denied permission to build an addition to crowded Fronczak Hall, due to the lack of space for new buildings on the Main Street Campus. Yet Themis had no trouble gaining approval to construct an entire new three-story building, near Bailey next to Sherman Hall.

Student activists, besides objecting to the military and Conservatism that regimentation characterized ROTC, believed that one way to stop the war in Viet Nhm was to shut off the flow of officers to Southeast Asia at its source. Thus they strived to end the officer training program. The curriculum in the ROTC program was set, not within the university and its goal of furthering and creating knowledge, but by the military under a militarist philpsophy of education. Students and liberal faculty pointed to this as a direct incursion of the military an argument that was difficult to mentality on campus defeat. Denouncements and protests against ROTC and the Themis project had been a part of the students’ vocabulary since 1967, when the student body first began to chafe against the moral yoke of ROTC and when Themis construction began. But campus activists first resorted to violent means to accomplish their ends in 1969. On April 16, 1969, two highly destructive bombs were thrown on the Themis construction site. The Buffalo Police Department Arson Squad began an investigation hours afterward, but who had thrown the was never determined.

On February 26, 1970, a near-riot at the Themis site moved students to tear down the fence surrounding the site and throw stones and chunks of ice through the windows of Sherman Hall and the construction shacks on the site. The pickup truck incinerated by rioting students seemed to characterize their vehement opposition to “immoral research for an immoral war.” The rioters moved on to Clark Gym and once again ransacked the ROTC offices'. The demonstrators, 500 in number, shouted “off ROTC” and other anti-war slogans and then marched on to HayeS Hall to lodge their protests with the administration. Throughout the year, the ROTC issue was pressed in the Faculty Senate, which created a committee to study the academic legitimacy of the program. Its report, which appeared in the midst of the worst student disruption in the Spring of 1970, recommended a two-year phase out of the program. On March IS of the same year, the administration announced that the ROTC program would not accept new cadets after August 31, 1970, and implied that the program would end in August, 1971. But in mid-July, newly elected University President Robert L. Ketter announced that the phase-out of ROTC would be moved up to June 1971, short of the expected one-year phase-out period. And with the end of the semester, ROTC was gone from the campus. Many of the cadets of the defunct UB program instead attended ROTC courses at Canisius College the following fall; but the academic credit they earned at Canisius was not applicable at UB. - Condoning vandalism? Themis project, and to a lesser extent the ROTC offices, were such objects of scorn that demonstrations that began at other sites and on other topics often surged over to' Themis and Clark Hall for what were almost conciliatory acts Of violence.

Looking back ten years, even that victory was to be shortlived. Recent years have seen the return of DOD projects within UB’s confines. Last year The Spectrum reported that over $1 million in research was being carried out here for the military; and each year the figure rises a little more. Apparently, the sight of military projects on campus no longer results in a student uproar, aimed at removing all aspects of the Army Navy drops Themis — from the campus as it did from 1968-72. Themis, on the other hand, pressed on in establishing itself as a workable scientific laboratory. But after the protests and. destruction of the past two years, Themis did not have the inertia to carry'itself to ahy more long-term goals than construction of a research building. Work progressed spasmodically on the building and at times stopped completely. By 1972 the Navy had dropped financial support of the Themis program, and the National_ Heart and Lung institute had taken over with reduced support and greatly changed goals. The end for Themis and, a few years, the presence of the military came shortly after ot\ campus the re-election of President Nixon in November of 1972. On November 8, Campus Security found two bombs*, at the Themis site. The first bomb exploded and did little damage to the structure; the second was defused by the Buffalo Police Bomb Squad the next day. But the small amount of damage was emough to signal the end of Themis. Students, faculty, ai(d Themis sponsors, both public and private, had had enough. “Off off ROTC” was a reality.

November Demonstrations erupt over the Administration’s decision to allow an Army recruitei to speak on campus. Acting Executive Vice President Daniel Murray quickly reverses his decision after protests are begun by the SDS. However, the demonstration continues with SDS urging as 250 irate students confront Murray with beefs about the University, including lack of support for the Colleges.

Buffalo’s two major papers, both family owned, the Buffalo Evening News and the Courier Express, while choosing to publicize the sometimes violent demonstrations and revolutionary activities here, gave almost no effort to analyzing the issues behind the campus unrest here and across the nation. “The Courier Express sensationalized the Unrest to the extent of printing most of the articles on the front page, using enormous headline type and large photographs,” former editor of Ethos magazine Mike Jackson said. Jackson explained that as editor of a student publication, he was contacted often by the News, since “they tried to get the student point of view,” in contrast, the Courier Express rarely attempted to print anything beyond police or Administration reports, he said. Jackson also said that the News, “kind of backed the Administration, but they also called for more understanding,” while the Courier, he claimed, “flatly backed the Administration.” Harlen Abbey, who reported for the Courier Express at the time of the riot, explained how lacadaisical journalism affected the reportage. “It’s easier to get a copy of an Administration print-out than to listen to 16 self-appointed spokemen.” And, in general, the press almost instinctively sided with Administration views, rather than rebellious crowds, he said.

Jackson explained, “If students read something in the papers that they thought was unfair, it would often incite tm to further violence. This retrospective violence was extended to reporters themselves. Former city editor of The Spectrum Mike McKeating, who covered the May 1970 (see timeline) for the Buffalo Evening News was threatened ' with physical harm. Both McKeating and Abbey was gassed. And former reporter for WBEN News Fran Lucca was once held for ransom. Lucca and a cameraman had gone to the traditional student haven, Norton Union, to “get the student point of view” on the demonstrations. As they ascended to an upper floor, a female student conlronted Lucca and began swearing at him, “giving him hell.” “I blew my top,” Lucca recounted, “and I blamed people like her for instigating this type of disturbance. I stressed that I was there to get her side of the story,” he added painfully. As Lucca angrily exploded, a dozen militant, fire breathing females began milling about, surrounding him, in alliance for the girl. Chased away Student leaders saw Lucca trapped in the midst of the female mob and chased the women away. ‘We’re going to take you hostage,’ they told me Lucca told the leaders he would accompany them to their office He would call the manager of WBF.N News, and the students could tape their statement for later public broadcasting. lie said, ‘You think “The manager and I joked over the phone you?’ to ransom that we’re going As soon as the leaders voiced their message, Lucca simply picked and left. his notebook up The student perspective on the events also made reportage difficult. “It became an all white-all black issue,” commented Abbey. “You were jin the estimation of student protesters either for them or against themrSome of the students had tough standards. McKeating added that protesters expected their opnions to be reported as facts, refusing the reporters their ability at analysis. The coverage had a far out-reaching effect on the Buffalo community. Buffalo mothers picketed in front of the College A headquarters due to unfavorable press coverage (see timeline). “ ” Also, according to History Professor Michael Frisch, during the Hayes 45 arrest (see timeline), the Courier Express likened the Hayes 45’s non-violent sit-in to the violent tacticrof students. The names and he addresses of the 45 were printed on the front page of the Courier, said, adding that many received hate mail and threatening phone calls as a result.

It's not the same with a camera crew.” Kriegar claimed that most demonstrations started just for camera coverage, and added, “If we didn’t show up, they wouldn’t hold the ... demonstration.” Kriegar also related, “sometimes, if we didn’t appear at a demonstration, student leaders would call us, demanding to know why we weren’t there.” Kreigar explained that WHEN would film “anything that moved.” He said, “We were airing a lot of anti-war demonstrations.

When you can t see the police, but you can hear the screams and you look out the window again, only this time some guy carrying his books is having his head beat in against the guardrail because he couldn’t decide which way to turn fast enough you’re radicalized. When you watch the cops charge into the crowd chasing down single students on the lawn in front of the small dorms and you see your friends being helped inside because they can’t see or walk anymore and you ask the question ‘Who’ and you ask ‘Why’ and all they can tell you is lies - you’re radicalized. The campus has been radicalized and that can’t be put into Committee! The media is terming it everything from a race riot (the confrontation was not a result of the demands of the black athletes) to the usual ‘rampage of berserk Communist agitators.’ A police riot is what it was, and if you don’t believe that look at the pictures, or ask the dormitory girls who got dragged to the ground by their hair, or Movement Attorney Willard Myers who was busted outside of Norton for “inciting a riot” (telling people to walk and stay calm). And, as usual, no one last night was willing to admit calling the pigs on campus. Trying to get an answer out of the administration on that question is like playing “Who’s on first?” people were beaten, people were busted and people’s tempers are pretty high. They should stay that way. There is no reason why the Tatical Patrol Unit had to be called in Tuesday night to combat a peaceful sit-in at the Stony Brook basketball game in Clark Gym. But there they were, and they didn’t leave happy. “You might have won this time, but wait till next time,” one cop was heard saVing. Next time came the next night and the cops didn’t make the trip in vain Wednesday. They got to bust their heads. Dr. Regan’s “Force as the First Resort” policy has backfired in his face and quite possibly may be the spark which will ignite a campus that was already flammable. The pigs have-no place on campus. The pigs must be taken off campus and not brought back not by Regan, not by any of his Hayes Hall staff and not again by the club-happy campus cops. And Dr. Regan has no place heading this University if he can’t exert control over who hits the hotline to Precinct 16. The situation Tuesday night was Only total administrative irresponsibility could have left the handling of Wednesday’s development to individuals apparently so low or so hidden in the bureaucratic heirarchy that no one knew their name Wednesday night. Either that, or the Administration lied. Thursday morning Edward Doty, Vice-President for Operations and Systems, finally owned up to calling the police. He cited the rock-throwing at Hayes Hall and the request of campus police for outside assistance as his reasons. Who gave Doty that order and who first ordered the campus police into Norton Hall to vacate the building? Who outfitted them in riot gear? And who in the Administration reneged on their promise to the boycotting black players that the Albany-Bulfalo game would be indefinitely postponed? - - - - - We’re past the questions. We want the answers. No more lies! No more bullshit! Pigs off campus now and that includes the pigs in Hayes Hall who make the phone calls and then sit back and let their liberal hearts bleed over the casualties. they Pleading no control over police conduct is no excuse — — shouldn’t have been here in the first place!

Campus Editor ® s Preliminary results of the Faculty Student Association's (FSA’s) campus-wide survey reveal that surveyed customers may not be as upset with high food and vending prices as was thought, but a distressingly low number of respondents has weakened the force of the data. Out of the 247 people responding to the six-page questionnaire, only about 40 of that number had ever been on a Food Service board contract. The questionnaire was mailed to a carefully selected sample of 1400. “We’re going to have to take it with a grain of salt,” said Marketing professor Stephen Goodwin, who supervised graduate student Gary Jacobi’s processing of the data. Jacobi, who received a $1000 stipend for the semester long that his endeavor, agreed recommendations will have to be tempered by the apathetic “It indicates that the majority of the people see things as acceptable as is,” he noted. The big surprise came as students, faculty and staff rated the availability of low-priced products among their lesser concerns in their evaluation of both food and vending services. Students, particularly on Main Street, found prices slightly more important than others, while faculty and staff attached little significance to it. Cafeteria prices (including the Rathskellar, Norton Hall and Student Club stations) were similarly unimportant to the respondents. But, 1 even as respondents claimed prices were unimportant, they paradoxically cited the absence of low-priced food as one of the cafeteria’s most negative traits. Respondents pointed to the pleasing appearance of employees as a cafeteria bright spot, although they also considered *itamong the least important items. not highly thought of, especially among the 48 responding dormitory students, who were Convenience of location got high marks for the vending machines although that feature too was not considered a very important even more critical of the “lack of innovativeness” in the food strength. Consistent high quality vending food, which was rated the most important feature vending services could offer, finished a distant second in the overall evaluations. Amherst students gave vending services the highest marks for quality and the Amherst machines received higher grades for quality than did Main Street. Availability of quality food, considered the second most impprtant cafeteria feature, was menus. The most important cafeteria attribute, cleanliness of the serving area, was given a very evaluation. Other accolades for cafeteria service were earned by the employees, who were praised as courteous, in helpful and pleasant appearance. Comments of a more elaborate nature were solicited in the survey, but according to Jacobi, favorable few were obtained, substantiating the view that customers are essentially satisfied with current conditions. However, some ideas that were offered include; 1) serve a wider variety of non-meat dishes, 2) open the cafeteria in the Governors Residence Hall for dinner and 3 ) improve the method of serving breakfast cereal. A formal presentation of the survey data, as well as a discussion of recommendations for future services will take place tomorrow at the monthly FSA Board of Directors meeting in Room 10 of Capen Hall at 4 p.m. The meeting is open to the public.

The course emphasizes the explanation of the reasons for the location of activities. For example, economic geography attempts to explain where people live, shop, work and recreate. Part of the course emphasizes the regional structures of economies at local, sub-national and international levels. Also discussed are global problems of population and natural resources. This is a particularly appropriate elective for management, economics, and engineering students, as well as one of the introductory courses for majors in geography. ! i | j I I I | ROOTIES | i Tu Th 9:30 -10:45, Main St. Dr. Conk ling, 326 Fstr., Reg.

According to History professor Leo Loubere, who chaired the Committee, its major activity was to “discover evidence of violation of academic freedom and lapses of responsibility.” ThtCommittee held closed hearings to examine any violations or But, said Loubere, although notices of the hearings were published in both The Spectrum and 77ie Reporter, only one person appeared to file a complaint.

What is poverty? When one receives a certain minimum of food, clothing, and shelter necessary for physical survival, a poverty line becomes a judgement. matter of Most scholars and policy makers define the “poverty line” as an absolute standard. In 1978, this “poverty line” was roughly $6,300 a year, or half the median income of a non-farm family of four. The U.S. Census Bureau estimates that about 12 per cent of all Americans were living in Although 1978. in poverty nominally this represents a drop from earlier years (.3.7 per cent in 1947 and 21.4 per cent in 1959), societal expectations and the statistical parameters that go into the computing of these figures have changed markedly over the forty some odd years since they were first compiled. In 1947, a hefty percentage of nation’s economically downtrodden lived on farms. At least as far as food went they were our largely self-sufficient. Today, the ranks of the poor are filled by frustrated, urban, ghetto-dwelling minorities. Obviously they are in no position to supplement their livelihood by raising their wn foodstuffs, and so they have to rely on government assistance and food stamps books.

This trend persisted through has recession as well as prosperity have employable there are just not enough jobs to lift them out of destitution. For the majority, payments transfer from the Federal Government provide the only significant source of income. Poverty is clearly a complex and pervasive problem, calling for action on many fronts.

FDR’s Social Security Act of 1935 provided elderly cash for payments directed workers, their dependents and Since 1935, assistance has gone to more people for more and more reasons ranging from family income maintenance to medical care. In 40 years Social Security has been transformed from a novel standby program into a bureaucratic nightmare.

Dorothy Ru a;h, a secretary in the Department denied this, but refused to allow The Spectrum to question the other wo secretaries Staff Writer Months of anxious waiting concluded last week for 76 hopeful applicants to the Occupational Therapy (OT) Department, biH even a letter of acceptance could not alleviate the anger and consternation many felt because of a late notification date Claiming that the Department’s failure to notify applicants earlier than May has resulted in problems involving acceptance at other schools, enrollment and housing, students charge that OT has acted in an "irresponsible and uncompassionate manner" especially for a department whose philosophy stresses understanding and personal consideration. Students claim that the lengthy waiting process is unnecessary "Two years ago, three times as many people applied and they were notified by April 1,'said one recently accepted student “I feel as if it’s a test, to see if we can take the strain." said the student, who refused to give her name, noting she was "so fed up, I would rather forget the whole escapade.” Convention complication \ Coordinator of Undergraduate'Student Advisement Doris Slack, attributed the lengthy waiting period to the thoroughness of the department's review of prospective \ applicants. According to Slack, acceptance is\ based upon an evaluation by nine faculty members, which they consider a student’s CiPA, the results ofTwo interviews and a student’s work history. This year 7b students competed for fifty positions. “Considering the factors involved,” said Slack, “I’m not sure it took so long .” In addition, said Slack, a change in the date of the National Occupational Therapists Association onvention aggravated the delay.” Because the convention was held in the Spring this year, instead of the Fall, many faculty were away for two weeks in « oi H zr <t C/> March. “Those two weeks were wiped out since faculty weren't around to participate in the decision-making process," remarked Slack, Irony Students cited their necessity to respond to other schools’ deadlines including submittance of non refundable deposits which often were due before students were notified of their acceptance at UB Summer job plans and housing arrangements are also left hanging for many, since accepted students must enroll in dross Anatomy during the summer and therefore must also find a place to live. Assistant professor Donna Joss said she understood the anxiety the delay creates, “but everyone goes through it," “The same situation occurs across the country,” noted Slack. Students, however, claim the delay period at UB is much longer than at other schools. “It’s ironic," commented one student, “that the OT department is concerned with teaching us to treat the whole person, yet they don't know how to treat their own hv Elena Cacavas Campus CJilor Although no formal administrative responses have been issued to the Office of Academic Affairs regarding Vice President Ronald Bunn's recently released "revised" Academic Plan, a random survey of University deans largely revealed praise and satisfaction with the altered form of the April. 1478 draft. However, because the Plan was re-released only last Wednesday, many administrators contacted felt tuey were unable to fairly respond by Monday. Last year’s “first" draft spurred some negative response from UB Faculties for its lack of clarity, its "narrowness” in reviewing programs and its confusing explanation of resource reallocations, but Associate President for Academic Affairs Claude Welch said Monday that he had received "no particular comments” on this second draft. Intended to serve as an outline of planning, problems and limitations for academics in the upcoming years, the Plan was revised after weeks of meetings with over 20 University groups of faculty, students, administrators and professional employees. The “new” Plan exhibits “several changes in emphasis and in the degree of specificity,” specifically meshed into a deeper explanation of the often disputed principles and the related significance of resource reallocation Claude Welch mer Associate President for Academic Affairs igures Enrollment factor F. Bunn Neither Graduate Student Association (GSA) President Joyce Pinn Joel Mayersohn believed on Monday that they had reviewed the Plan thoroughly enough to comment on it. Both groups last year criticized the draft for the major role enrollments played in analysis of various academic units and their futures particularly raising fears that the professional schools would drain resources from the humanities. Dean of Arts and Letters George Levine reported that although he was also not yet acquainted well enough with the “new” Plan to comment, his Faculty’s response last year was in objection to Bunn’s statement that Arts and Letters would be subject to additional cuts due to declining enrollments. nor SA President l cademic Affairs - UB deans offer praise for new — Omissions and inclusions Bunn admits that shifting enrollments towards the Health Sciences and engineering may pull funds from other areas; but a lengthy section concerning “how modestly to lower the current level of resources committed to Arts and Letters, while maintaining areas of strength and interest . . is deleted. Also omitted from the recent draft is Bunn’s conclusion that, until we address other priority areas in Academic Affairs, judged by growing student demand and the need to secure quality in these areas of demand, the Faculty of Arts and Letters cannot expect through University sources to maintain in all of its current programs their current level of support.” However, an additional chart contained within the revised draft outlines ratios influencing instructional support for Academic Affairs and cites 12 assigned reductions in Arts and Letters as required by the 1979-1980 State authorized budget. Most administrators questioned said they appreciated Bunn’s clarification of his earlier report.

Gary Jacobi, the student who helped to coordinate the survey, said that 247 respondents out of 1400 surveys mailed indicates that most people see Food Service quality as "acceptable" and therefore felt no need to fill out the survey. We would argue that: a.) The survey should not have depended on the self-initiative of people to fill out and mail the form. Direct telephone or in-person interviewing would have insured an adequate response, b.) The lack of response is more indicative of a pessimistic attitude about services at this University. Food Service has shown no sign of breaking from the higher prices-lower quality cycle and most consumers do not expect it to. What narrow thinking to call no news good news when a campus monopoly like FSA, with all kinds of competitive advantages, continues to jack prices, cut hours in some places nd employ expensive full time labor when students will gladly do the job for less. No, the survey does not indicate consumer satisfaction. Resignation is more to the point; and FSA executives ought to begin thinking about that. A job well done Other than a failure to organize some pre dawn transportation back to the Amherst Campus Monday morning, the organizers of the buses to the May 6 rally in Washington did a splendidly thorough job. There was very little confusion, a minimum of delay and a minimum of discomfort despite some fairly obscene traveling hours.

Through it all, reader response to the issues we've covered has been steady, for the most part articulate and undoubtedly well-read. But — response to the newspaper has not been so consistent: partly because The Spectrum did not pursue consistency in reader evaluation and partly because readers as a group did not feel in any way responsible for The Spectrum's continuing development. This is not the way it should be with a campus newspaper; and we hope that next year an intelligent dialogue will open up between the publication and its audience. The initiative should come from both sides. Until then, have an enjoyable summer. — — The Spectrum VoJ. 29, No. 89 Wednesday. 9 May 1979 Editqr-in-Chief Jayj Rosen Businas Manager Bill Finkelstein Rebecca Bernstein 1 ..

Minority We Students (B.S.U., PODER, AZTECA and NACAO) came to the Senate meeting with the idea of reaping justice. In the past, S.A. allocations to minority students have been severed severely. This has caused damage to minority students and created a potent tension between Guy Gillens President P.S. U. Disturbing students To the Editor For a University which should have been built downtown, Community University Day is essential for bringing the community into the isolated Amherst Campus, However, to encircle Capen Hall with high school marching bands and to have displays and “guided tours” through the UGL at this time of year suggests a blatant disregard for students studying for finals. I hope the community looks beyond the displays nd presentations to how this University really treats its students. Paulette Buraczenski Adam Greenhaum Good idea, bad time Community University Day is a fantastic idea. There is a definite need for interaction between a the University and surrounding Community. Unfortunately, we feel that it was scheduled at the worst possible time of the year. Practical studying was made impossible in the libraries on the Amherst Campus, Don’t students make fine exhibits for a tour? Having several bands parading around campus a week before finals makes us wonder whose needs are being considered; the academic needs of the students or the public standing of the University. It definitely makes us wonder. Fran Kask el Debbie Knapp Community Day priorities To the Editor. Prodigal Sun . . . . Feature The purpose of this article is to explain to the student populus, the position taken at last Thursdays Senate meeting by minority students of this Minority Students and S.A. It is time for the whitewashing to stop and Minority Students showed in numbers to express their concern about what happens at this University. The meeting was fihbusted in the same manner as the Congress of the United States is, in order to express our points. In the future, we Minority Students hope to eradicate the present problems that exist with the a S.A. and look foward to promising days. . . . Copy Sharilene Benalt . . . .Rob Cohen . Daniel S.

Art Director Backpage Campus Justice filibuster This is in response to the so called “University Community Day” (U.C.D.) which I as a student and club representative attended and took place May 6 1979. After attending my first U.C.D. I was amazed at the amount of time some of the large Community Organizations and local banks (Marine Midland to name one) as well as all the local utilities and industries, put into their presentations: and for who? The community residences as though they have never seen them before? And what were they doing — there? Meanwhile all or most of the University related events, organizations, the colleges and schools were shoved into the back. Now there is nothing the matter with the back per-sey. But at a time where the University has a chance to glitter and stand proud, they are overwhelmed and out powered by the corporates who try to run this school. I’m also sorry to say the organization and insight needed to run this type of event, so that it could be totally successful, was lacking. I would suggest that you either organize the University so that they are the main attraction, as they should be in this type of event or don’t hold it al all. Peter Hirshman �esdaywed nesdaywed r feedback The survey in detail Leavy is right To the Editor: Your readers might like to know more of the results of the recenj survey done for the Student Health Insurance Advisory Committee than was reported in your April 27, 1979 edition. The report is lengthy and I will summarize here only that section dealing with students’ opinions about abortion coverage. We interviewed by telephone about 600 students in two random samples, one representing those who had bought the U.B. insurance policy this academic year, and those who had waived it. The sample size of the Bought was 284, for the Waived 314. Because of the campus controversy over abortion coverage, several questions were included to gain students’ views. The initial questions in the series was: Do you think the policy should cover costs of abortions? About two-thirds of the Bought (64 percent) and a little less than half of the Waived (47 percent) thought the policy should cover abortions. Conversely, slightly more than a quarter (28 percent) of the Bought and half of the Waived (SO percent) felt the policy should not cover abortions. (This is one of the few items in the interview where there is such a large difference between the two groups.) To get students’ responses to a particular issue raised in the campus controversy, viz., whether there should be an optiop available for those who feel that paying for abortion coverage is against their conscience, some further questions were asked of those who said they wanted the policy to include abortion coverage. (Those not wanting such coverage in the policy at all were not asked anything more on the subject.) An open-ended question _then asked how students felt the policy should handle those who want the insurance but feel abortion coverage is against their conscience. This question yielded a varfety of replies which were then coded into four main categories. About two-thirds of the students answering this question'stated a preference for some of “make it optional” or “write separate policies” solution; one-fourth stated a preference for some kind of “mandatory only” solution. Ten Waived sample. In order to relate opinions on the issues to discussions of an option by the Advisory Committee with Higham-Whitridge, and also to gain the specificity of a close-ended question, the following question was asked, again only of those who wanted the policy to cover abortion. Do you think the abortion coverage should be optional for conscientious objectors or required of everybody? About three-fourths of each sample answered it should be optional; 72 percent of the Bought, 74 percent of the Waived. Finally, we sought to guage the strength of this feeling on whether abortion coverage should be optional or not by asking how strongly students felt about their positions. About 90 percent in both Bought and Waived groups said they felt very or fairly strongly about their positons. The answers to these questions may be summarized as follows. For the Bought, two out of three want abortion covered, and of those who want it, three out of four say it should be optional for persons who feel such coverage is against their conscience. For the Waived, about half want it in the policy and half don’t; of those who do want abortion coverage, three out of four say it should be optional for those who feel the abortion coverage is against their conscience. There is very little sentiment among students for making abortion coverage a required part of the policy without any option. I conducted this survey on behalf of the Advisory Committee.

But can it be that the very idea of conscience is Robert M. O’Shea, Associate Professor Social and Preventative Medicine ' lost in the consciousness of American students? That the very word conscience is slipping out of the language, actually becoming vague in meaning? 1 *It is hard to believe, but again, some even some student leaders are reading the word conscience but saying the word studentsJabd consciousness! This may seem a small matter, but as George Orwell said in a famous appendix to 1984 the way in which we use words shapes the way we think. The earless use of words leads to careless even dangerous thinking. Orwell urged then that we be vigilant to correct abuses of the language. So while as a household we have laughed over this misuse of language and the limitations of mind which it suggests, we at the same time find it disturbing and sobering to think about. After amazement and amusememt, we feel a kind of pity fo;, those who seem to be strangers to those philosophic traditions both popular and disciplined for which conscience is a central concept. We feel too a chill to think that there may really be here a barrier to understanding. In this case the most simple terms of moral discourse are blurred. One can see immediately, that the rights of conscience of those of so many traditions who believe life sacred ftom its beginnings are all the more easily violated, if the concepts c9nscience and consciousness are confused in the thinking of university students. This confusion is limited to a few. Still we have seen it with astonishing frequency and this reflects badly on American education and raises fears about the jdireption of American , Unity with Diversity To the Editor. To the Editor: Bernard Brothman was argued that it is improper to bring the issue up again when it has alfeady been decided by the democratic process. I answer that the democratic process can hardly be said to have worked when a decision was rushed to before student preferences were fully known and when the mandatory payment fof decision made for abortion coverage was opposed by upwards of 80% of the students (as revealed by the health insurance survey). The issue hardly be considered “settled,” as The Spectrum contends, when the student officials who “settled’ 1 it were so' out of line with the wishes of those they represent. Second, it is argued that for Leavy to ask President Ketter to delay approving Sub Board’s decision is to allow him to interfere with student decision-making prerogatives. All that Leavy and the three other Sub Board directors who have joined him in asking for a delay are doing, however, is seeking time to allow the student decision-making process to run its full course, resulting in the fairest decision which takes into account the greatest number of the facts. If Ketter is to be true to this process, he cannot help but to delay his decision. This second argument is really a smokescreen to permit student officials to justify upholding the decision they made on behalf of the small pro-compulsory payment minority in the face of opposition from the great — - " majority. Moreover, what this second argument is really about is protecting the integrity of student decision-making bodies on campus. It is not enough, however, to want to protect institutions for theip own sake (as this argument seems to want to); this is to seek nothing more than mere self-perpetuation. Democratic institutions are set up to render just decisions and to Carry out the will of the people. It is when they fail to pursue these as would be the case if the mandatory purposes payment werelallowed to stand that their integrity is weakened. Third, The Spectrum and others criticize Leavy because be is undermining a “solid, coherent student stand. v I must however, ask whether these people would urge that a similar solid stand be maintained, just for its own sake, on other issues that they do not agree with? Should we stand solidly behing injustice just for considerations of raw power? Fourth, The Spectrum accused Leavy of “playing student officials against each other” and of “playing politics.” Student officials, however, were already divided and many were dissatisfied with the first votes. They did not need Tony Leavy to egg them on; they have merely responded to his initiative. Leavy is also not “playing politics”. He has little to gain personally by being out in front on this issue. Leavy, a popular former Student Bar Association has been bitterly and unfairly attacked by pro-compulsion people in the.jaw school for his pro-option posilttm. He is,doing, what he is only because he believes that he has an obligation to the great majority of U.B. students and, more intportiirifly, because it is right. Anthony Leavy’s action is something that anyone with a sensitivity to the popular will and a genuine sense of justice would have don e. It is also an expression of much courage. These are qualities which are becoming increasingly uncommon in both our student and civil leaders. . — - Stephen Krason Robert Wise Amin’s cannahalism ’The so-called illustration was unfortunately true.” Lisa Even, in her letter to the editor, which appeared in the May 4th Spectrum, complained that this illustration for the Uganda article (4/2S/79) suggested a cannibalistic situation. My dear person, the, reason it was drawn as such was, because under Amin, there was a cannibalistic situation in Uganda. Amin used to publically boast to reporters that he has eaten human flesh. In his heyday, after certain unfortunate oppcfhents of him were thoroughly tortured and killed by Amin’s State Research Bureau, Amin would eat some of thenflesh so as to, “... prevent the deceased spirit from haunting Jum.” With Amin anything was possible, and thus, the cartoonist was sadly correct. defense. ' First, it concerned being As students who have been involved as a household in the efforts of the University of Buffalo Rights of Conscience Group, we are gratified to see that at least four students out of five believe that students should not be forced to pay for abortion coverage against their conscience.. But through this year we have repeatedly encountered a small phenomenon that continues to disturb us even though this great majority of students respects conscience on so fundamental a patter as developing human life. It may seem small, but we have been dismayed to hear and see some students as they discuss the issue speak and write not of the rights of conscience but of the “rights of consciousness,” or who will speak of “my consciousness” when they mean conscience. While their eyes have many times read /the word conscience in coverage of the story, they hear in their minds the word consciousness instead! What is happening here? Can it really be that so many American students are unfamiliar with the word conscience? And if the word is unfamiliar to them then what of the concept? Has the concept of consciousness really replaced that of conscience in their minds? We know that consciousness is a concept much popularized as a part of Marxist vocabulary as in, Several arguments were made in The Spectrum (5/4/79) against Sub Board director Anthony Leavy’s decision to push for another vote by the Sub Board on the abortion coverage issue. While I believe that The Spectrum's willingness to open its pages to both sides of this issue is commendable, its arguments against Leavy were incorrect and unfair. I wish to respond to them and to come to Leavy’s percent gave “don’t know”-and “other” answers. There was little difference between the B?ught the Conscience or consciousness To the Editor To the Editor: kind Though many people were unaware on April 26th at 8 p.m. in the Fillmore room the U/B Baha’i Club held its second-annual Cultural Dance Festival ' for the promotion of “unity with Diversity” through the expression of dance. This festival was made possible by the contributing performance: of several dance groups: The Balkan Dancers, The Mididdle Eastern Dance Troop, The Israeli Dancers, The Polish Dancers, The West Indies Dancers. Though one could not ordinarily see more than one cultural group dance at a time, through the efforts of the Baha’i Club and others this was made possible. A group of diverse peoples with cultural and national origins from all parts of the world were brought together in n atmosphere of love and unity. They came and danced as one; they backgrounds as members of the race of man, disregarding any of the ancient prejudices that so afflict mankind, be they racial, religious, or otherwise. To all the dance groups who were not able to participate and all of you who saw our publicity we hope you can make it next year. We the members of the Baha’i Club would like to take this opportunity to express our deepeest gratitude to those dance groups who made this outstanding performance possible. The U/B Baha’i Club i Nl �t E S ["Jfl feedback AT I h* r Woes | of capitalist education To the Editor: There is an assault being waged against we the 5 students attending this University and others like it | across the state, and country. Totally devoid of any our student inputs, demands, and concerns, the 5 purpose of this attack is to sacrifice our rights to n education for a learning process integrally linked up to a changing political economy. The roles of students and faculty alike, the primary components of any educational institution, are being re-examined and analyzed to see if these roles are relevent to events which are changing the nature of the monopoly corporation into a multi-national entity, Education exists within a cultural-ideological niche in society, and along with the political, legal, and economic realms, it merges into a structural unity which makes up, reinforces, and legitimizes capitalist - ■f society. planners of education, the benevolent (i.e. Ford Foundation, Carnegie Foundation), who themselves represent-the major business interests in this country, are the instruments of this attack on people’s education. The so-called The foundations educational reformers have devised methods to implement this “new” education. Emerging themselves behind scientific jargon, supposed empirical analysis and objectivity, they construct their educational objectives: “the development of those skills and critical thinking practices to lead informal and intelligent lives in a modern society.” This appearance vanishes to reveal the real nature of these goals. The real, purpose of education in the corporate state is to insure the maximization of profits for business by using the University as a breeding and nurturing ground for a technological and managerial intelligensia. The “experts” in their reports, studies, and research data claim that “the value of a liberal education has not changed but society’s view of it may have. These changes may not be ignored in plans for the future.” The allusion to society is misleading. Within this context, “the needs of society” are equivalent to the demands and reproduction of the corporate state. Education provides a relevant-workforce for changing corporate demands. “Universities in general and this one (U.B.) in particular have been accountable to the publics they serve”. The popular image of the university as a factory system, overseered by an efficiency minded, bureaucratic administration, churning out student after student is related to our experiences at U.B. Education is the means to pursue specific ends (i.e. a job). Therefore, for those who choose a college education, or specialized and vocational training, education becomes much more than a learning process, it becomes a vehicle for mere survival. We choose university education to develop our human skills; those skills that will make us viable competitors on the job market. For many, it doesn’t really matter whether what we learn is relevant to our lives. Choice is reduced to what skills we can sell to our future empolyers. Many time we cannot integrate what we ieam into the job market (i.e. ask an English major). Education under Capitalism relegates our existence to inhibiting the very capabilities and potentials it claims to enhance, while developing those skills that would be considered marketable. In this process our education (our means) becomes separated from our prospective jobs (our ends). Our capabilities become fragmented rather than integrated, resulting for one thing in a lack of fulfillment in our jobs; we are reduced merely to earning a living. Schooling loose? its correlation to one’s ultimate needs, abilities, goals, etc. Instead of being a vehicle for maximizing potentials, creativity, and development, we enter the market place to prostitute our knowledge and skills. The administration claims to be representative of our educational interests, yet they clash with the students around several fundamental antagonisms; the primary one being, that in reality they do not represent our concerns, interests, and demands. They; are the representatives of the State, appointed by the governor and/ot appointed by the council, in an arena outside of any democratic practices. They are the direect expression of the business and managerial elite’s own egotistical desires; the embodiment of private interests, protected by the legal sanctions of the state, which suppossedly represents the entire population’s general interests. What emerges is a direct contradiction a public institution controlled by private interests; an institution manipulated by a ruling class for its own benefits. The bureaucrat, wcrrled about his own position and career within the apparatus, cannot see the universal nature of education; his job is an end in itself. Retrenchment of the university is logical from their perspective; from our perspective we organize to fight the movement against social cutbacks; these clashes, however, are emerging in all sectors of society. We can begin to understand why certain departments - gro'w larger (i.e. Business) at the expense of others (he. Philosophy); and why plans are devised (i.e. General Ed.) to pit one department against the other for money and resource allocations. An “average” off-campus social science student has 168 hours (one week) in which to divide his/her time. Out of this, 56 hours goes for sleep; 12 hours for class; approximately 21 hours for studying; 6.25 hours for traveling between campuses; 7 hours for physical activity; 17.5 hours for buying, preparing and eating 3 meals a day for a week; 5.25 hours for hygiene; and approximately 10 hours for work. (These estimates are crudes; for other majors the hours may be increased drastically; and with the iminent implementation of 5 course 3 credit load, “necessary time” will increase for all of us). Out of 168 hours, 135 are spent in those activities necessary for daily existence. School and/or School related activities are included here because as postulated before, under capitalism, education is a vehicle for survival. Under capitalism, education emphasizes those marketable skills, and thereby divides our “being” away from an integrated life for what might be called “disposable time”, or that time needed for individual and social develbpment. Included within this notion are the basic needs for sexual development (i.e. sexual relationships, the etc.); the time needed for creative activities other than school-related (i.e. pottery, photography, etc.); the cultural/entertainment aspects of one’s life (i.e. movies, T.V., partying); and the time needed for social activities (he. political, talk, “bullshitting”, etc.). The 33 hrs. left over for our “disposeable time” is ridiculous. Therefore to retain our sanity, we chip away at our “necessary time”. This can help to explain why students are constantly cramming for exams, are behind in classwork, cut classes, etc. The almost complete denial of the social nature of human existence, the pressures of the need to be “successful”, together with the stress on intense individualism, and the imposition of competition against others, becomes manifested in extremely high student suicide rates, severe alcoholism problems on campus, drug abuse, neuroses, tension, distrust, lonliness, fear, apprehension, cynacism, anger, etc., etc. Yes, this is education in capitalist society. This is what General Ed. seeks to maintain. (Please note that the Springer Report gave as one example of the failure of the 4-course load the fact that students were not putting their time in extra-school ctivities as stipulated). Within the above context, U.S.’s motto, “Let each become all he is capable of becoming”, is reduced to a hypocritical facade. Education under capitalism is mystified into being a “priviledge” where only people* who merit it get to go (the meritocracy). As Michael Schwartz has pointed out in his essay on Education and Capitalism, IQ, tracking, selectivity, etc. are used to attempt to prepare and place certain individuals within certain positions in the economy (i.e. along race, sex and class). The expansion or retrenchment of the University is directly related to changes in the reserve labor army, and the intensification of the accumulation and concentration of capital; rather than having to do with any charity on the part of Corporate America (it can also be politically expedient and crucial for “social control”). Why don’t we control our education? Our lives are involved in a constant movement from institution to institution within larger society. (We go from family to school to job). For example the educational institution highlights its “a-political nature”, its "objectivity” in viewing the world. But this is false, and students should realize its true nature and goals. Education is directly related to and shaped by a societal superstructure. Just examine why a “public” institution in a “democratic society” is run by oligarchical rule and business interests. Students are not involved in any decision-making processes, and if we are, it is simply to placate us through mere tokenism. If we cannot control our destiny’s within these smaller components of society, they how can/do we expecrtto be effectively heard in larger society. ] The educational institution not exist merely to expend knowledge arid skills but to reinforce, legitimate, and reproduce certain ideological, political, and economic motiffs. It is a -fundamental human right to be educated. So don’t think it is a priveledge to be here. Ask yourself why the immense knowledge, skills, and resources of the university are not utilized to combat the many existing social dilemmas (i.e: Love Canal, West Valley, unequal health and justice systems, etc.) The situations we, as students, are thrown into is that we must define our position as a force to be recognized (and we have at times), instead of meekly reasserting over and over again what should be (and is) fundamentally ours. Our destinies, our lives, must be defined and controlled by ourselves, not by others.

I �I The Sun Shines in Washington to Nuclear power meets the will of 125,000 vocal Americans by Denise Stumpo Managing Editor WASHINGTON, D.C. “If you’re worred about radiation, then you shouldn’t be at this march!” pronounced the chubby blonde at Pennsylvania and 5th Avenues. “Can you imagine how much radiation is in this group here, now, with all these bodies?” She lowered her “Fonda Syndrome” sigh for a moment in order to wipe'a wrist over her sweating brow. The Americans For Nuclear Energy (AFNE) corte, about 20 strong, confronted the March on Washington Sunday as it glided past. While most anti-nuke rallyers heckled the tiny opposition in passing' the more curious crossed the line to ask some serious questions. “What about the missing, unaccountable for Plutonium?” asked one proester. “Who is paying you to do this?” blasted another. “You’ll notice that this is a pro-white demonstration, said Connor Matthews, referring to the crowd of over 100,000, which was overwhelmingly white. Matthews, a middle-aged nuclear engineer, informed me, “The blacks and minorities understand that in order for - them to get anywhere the pie (economy] has to get bigger.” The AFNE contingent, composed at 1 p.m. of mainly physics students and housewives, condemned the “no growth” anti-nuke ideology, saying it would cause “frozen old people and babies, massive brownouts, catastrophic unemployment, and a paralyzed nation.” “You’re just being brainwashed by the media,” shouted a perspiring student dressed in shirt and tie, inches from the face of an AFNE member. You re crazy,” she returned. “The media isanri-nuke ■" ‘Off our asses’ The media, however, was nowhere to be seen. They had appeared earlier at the Ellipse where 50,000 marchers had gathered by noon. Out in full force, with mini and maxi cams, taping devices, microphones and other contraptions producing massive tangles of wire, the print and broadcast reporters had dutifully recorded the words of Maggie Kuhn, Gray Panthers founder, as she urged the crowd, “Disaster is evitable unless we get off our asses today.” The press, for the most part, did not join the one-and-one-half-hour march to the Capitol. Numbering about 400, they disappeared in vans and cars to have lunch with each other, to arrangeiprior interviews with the big names, to set up equipment in the Capitol press area. And they packed up immediately after the “stars” - had spoken. The media did not report on how spotlessly clean the rally organizers left the Capitol lawn, because they were long gone by 7:30 p.m. The media did not report on the marked change occurring within the crowd. Yet anyone who stayed with the rallyers from beginning to end witnessed it. Milling around at the Ellipse, it was evident that many people didn’t know why they or the rest of the crowd had come. Perhaps confused by the carnival atmosphere, people for the most part wore curious, quizzical expressions, not quite sure what to do. They largely ignored the garbage bags held out for donations. But as the various speakers, including baby doc Benjamin Spock, worker party leaders and guerilla theater troupes took the stage, people began to move, to chant, to understand. Mike Harrington, founder of the Democratic Socialist Organizing Committee, declared that the fight against nuclear power necessarily includes a fight against the U.S. corporate structure. Projecting a wave of solar power in the next decade, Harrington warned, “If we let Exxon take over the sun, they’ll buy the state of Arizona and make all of us pay for it.” It seemed like there were petitions urging the signing of other petitions as dozens of organizers, some totally uninvqlved in the struggle against nuclear power, took advantage of the mass of potential ■ signatories. Cops aplenty • As the procession moved down Pennsylvania Avenue toward the Capitol, it was clear that more than the typical activist types were involved. A Girl Scout troop, green uniforms and badges glistening in the sun, chanted “2—4-6-8, we don’t want to radiate” in high sing-song y/aices. A slight, balding man wearing a golfer’s hat, leading his eight-year-old son by the hand, was explaining Carter’s pro-nuclear speech of the previous day. “We’re here to protest the dangers that time with nuclear power,” he said, then noticing my interest: “If we don’t fight it now, Ac may not be around to fight it later.” A young Black man approached me. “You with the press? Well, I want to day that my brother works for that Three Mile Island plant and he told me the shit that goes down there. It’s time the people told the government what’s what.” Up the block, a row of city police were awaiting the chief’s L command. “The mood is more festive,” said lieutenant G,E. Bradford, comparing this rally to those of 10 years ago which took the same path. “It really seems like people are having a good time; there’s not the same magnitude of seriousness that there was about the Vietnam War,” he related. “In a couple of years there may be.” Refusing to divulge the number of policemen covering the march, Bradford would only admit the number was in the hundreds. Along Pennsylvania Avenue, secret service men were readily discernible. In lightweight suits and dark green Ray Ban shades, they kept a low profile in parked cars, “U.S. Secret Service” plaques displayed discretely. Also on the sidelines, sitting in the shade were several legal “observers” working with the May 6 Coalition organizers. “We’re here to be objective witnesses to any incident that may occur,” explained Robert Wolff, a Department of Labor attorney who volunteered for the day. "Hey, look at this; what does it mean?” yelled Anthony Smith, pointing to the Fallout Shelter sign above his head at 7th Avenue. The men in three-piece suits didn’t answer. “Only a fraction of the population can fit into these shelters,” said Smith, a Columbia University student “And they’re only equipped with the bare —continued on page 10— —Korotkin D.C.

A Philippine father and son team carried a wide banner denouncing U.S. nuclear involvement in the Philippines, where residents are trying to stop the construction of the first nuclear facility. “People here don’t want nuclear plants so now the U.S. is trying to ship them to our country,” said Bobby Manglapus, who now lives in DC. The Capitol building created an inspiring backdrop for the sprawling rally. With the lawn already jam packed, people began to occupy statues, trees, flower gardens, the unfilled reflecting pool and nearby park areas. Bella Abzug loudly lauded the women’s movement marijuana floated involvement in the anti-nuke fight. Fragrant from across the lawn. The generally attentive crowd listened raptly to speakers who demanded the immediate repeal of the Price-Anderson Act, which limits the liability of nuclear plants in case of disaster. “Billy kicked beer can Jimmy kick nuclear?” asked a sign held high near the press area. The sun beat down on the media as they fought to swarm Jane Fonda, Ralph Nader, Joni Mitchell. Merry Brown - and the other celebrities before they addressed the crowd. The nation’s hawk-like reporters asked some absurd questions. “How would you have stopped the Jonestown Massacre?” one reporter demanded of Governor Brown. “What’s that got to do with nuclear power?” he snapped back, visibly annoyed. Dick Gregory, one of the most dynamic speakers on Stage, seemed wary of the media's questions on what role Blacks should play in the anti-nuke cause, “I can only speak for myself,” he said carefully. Unannounced birth All of the “guest star” speakers were received with cheers and screams by the adueince with the notable exception of Brown, who commanded a share of boos and catcalls. Brown, who has jumped on the anti-nuke bandwagon, agreed to speak only after he learned of the crowd’s size. Even those who had admittedly come for the sun, music and party atmosphere seemed to be moved by the anti-nuke arguments. After all, this was Jackson Browne singing the nuclear/blues, not just some unknown radical. The first sweep of money collections from the audience netted $15,000. People were talking to their friends and people next to them about the validity of what the speakers were saying. * Though nothing said was new, the media wrote down every word spouted from the celebrities’ mouths, and every paper, radio station and TV network boradcast it the next day. They characterized the crowd as a “10-year reunion of the sixties’ activists’.’ Similarly, the Americans For Nuclear Energy termed the marchers on Washington as “busloads of students and members of the ‘me generation’ imported under the guise of a’rock concert.” But the thousands who are truly committed to the struggle against nuclear power and corporate control, those who were in the crowd and heard what the people were saying, know that on Sunday the anti-nuke movement officially became one of all generations, one which has vowed to return again and again to make the government face their own music. HOW MANY HEADS? Media estimates of the number of anti-nuclear rallyers converging upon the capitol building varied widely from 60,000 to 125,000. Washington Capitol police quoted the higher figure.

WASHINGTON, D.C. before anyone knew what — a Six years ago, project designed as the foundation of a citizen upsurge against atomic energy. Six years ago, he was calling nuclear power both dangerous and unnecessary while it was being sold to America as the perfect energy choice for the future. Three weeks ago, when the idea for a national march against nuclear power came up in the wake of Harrisburg, he agreed to put up the front money and, through his network of citizen’s groups, help staff the Coalition that was to pull of the largest Washington demonstration since the Vietnam War, with 20 days of planning time. Now, here he was, on the marbled steps of the Capitol, standing before 125,000 under the heat of a glorious Washington afternoon, in his ubiquitous gray business suit, crumpled notes staining beneath his wettened palms, listening to the roaring, fist-raising, instantaneous response to his voice, now weakening with tension but all the more moving as it rushed through the decks_pf loudspeakers to cascade down the hill of solid humanity toward the distant shadow of the Washington monument. • Here was Ralph Nader, the low-key, business-like intensely-dedicated but citizen advocate, for an instant on the edge of emotional delirium, being physically pulled from the podium by Donald Ross, his friend, colleague and the organizer of the May 6 rally. The citizen protester Spontaneously, as they did at emotional points throughout the afternoon, to step away. “Thank you,” he then blurted into, the microphone, moving backward, regaining his composure, retreating back into the Ralph Nader that most of Washington Again and again Until the nation became convinced, he had just told them, they would all return to Washington, ever-increasing numbers, back to this very spot. And if nuclear power had not been stopped, he declared, his fist tightening on the podium, they would return again. “AGAIN!” the crowd yelled. “AND AGAIN!” Ralph Nader screamed into the semi-circle of hoarsely microphones in front of him. “AGAIN!” this swaying, sun-drenched, mass of people emotionally-charged answered. “AND AGAIN!” the man in the gray suit shouted, his eyes stretched so wide they began to narrow and tear. “AGAIN!” they shouted back, grinning and frowning and rising and applauding and throwing their arms toward the sun, section by section, climbing to their feet as if entranced by the emotion of the moment “AND AGAIN!” the thin, middle-aged man boomed almost involunfarily, but for the final time, his voice breaking on the last syllable, his ears clawing for the response that would jolt him with the kind the crowd picked up the benchmark chant: more nukes!” Over and over again, the people chanted the slogan to themselves, on the fourth chant drawing Nader into it while Ross continued to pull on his arm. The chant broke apart, as Nader began FINALLY: For Ralph Nader, consumer the persistent relentlessly advocate demanding closer government scrutiny of large corporations the automobile industry in the rally in particular Washington had a powerful last, ha significance. At declared, the American polity together m has joined combatting the proliferation of the potentially disastrous nuclear industry. Nadar had crusaded against nukes long before Three Mile Island and Jana Fonda made it pop othc. — - the deadly serious, disciplined and internally-driven protector of the citizen. He was that way in the cramped Volve that had shuttled him to the rally, smiling only when John Richard, his top aide, informed him that the rally had drawn three to four times what they had both knew: the kind was a quiet smile that had been building long enough to be calm now that it was here. For years, Ralph Nader has known, in the deepness of his heart where shades of certainty and uncertainty lose all meaning, that nuclear power was wrong for the nation, that it was none of what the industry said it was, that it wasn’t cheap, wasn’t safe, wasn’t the fuel of the future but rather a building social terror of the present. Now, this belief that had run so expected. It - deep for so long, was beginning to scratch at the doorways of middle America and into the corridors of power where Nader’s name is an institutional anathema. The driving force I could see it in his far-away eyes, in his inability to pay strict attention to what a this pervous college editor had to say was much, much more than a rally to - Ralph Nader. It was the public explosion of a force that had seethed within him for years. He is an unordinary man, a genius with an inhuman capacity for work, so I knew that it was not the only such force that had driven him. But today, the awesome, terrifying power of the nuclear industry was to be met by nothing more than the will of one that could never match, but people could only mirror the will of Ralph Nader’s six-year build up for this day, and this point in history. - John Richard, his right-hand man, knows Nader like a brother, I judged. He knew what nuclear power meant too; and he knew that Nader had waited and waited, perhaps forlornly at times, until the national mood would be right for a public explosion like this one. Its power base would come from where all of Nader’s bases come from the nation’s college campuses, from the restless young looking for a challenge that could mean something someday. Here they were, as we walked fromthe Volve toward the demonstration, the students with their frisbees, their unkempt — hair, their backpacks flung onto the thick, cool grass of Capitol Hill. Nader, Richard and 1 knifed quickly through the crowd, me with instructions to clear the path speaker’s podium toward the while Richards kept onlookers from rushing Nader and forcing him to stop. Your day, your issue The young, unflappable aide moved several times to intercept people who had run up to speak to Nader or request an autograph. Now, he grabbed Nader’s right arm as he led him around reclining, blue-jeaned bodies. He pointed out towards the sea of protesters that were amassed down Capitol Hill. “Look at all these people,” Richard whispered into Nader’s ear. “They’re all here because of you. This is your day. This is your issue.” I did not quite understand Richard then. It seemed off-character for him, for he appeared as straight-minded and unemotional as Nader. And it seemed off character for Nader to need such a prompting, though I had guessed before that a man so intensely driven must have to contend with matching insecurities. I began to make sense of it all as he spoke a few hours later. It was not a very refined speech, nowhere near as cogent and convincing as his address last month in Squire Hall, where he had entranced my mind like no teacher or lecturer had ever —continued on page 12 — �W/W.V,VWW/w/w// n-r,v ' ( » Jerry Brown came because he saw votes. Ralph Nader came because he saw the future. John Richard had whispered the difference between the two. Crusader... —continued from page 11— been able to do. But here, he jumped around from topic to topic, forgetting to explain the space in between and relying too heavily on tired rhetoric that had already been thrown to the crowd by some of the earlier speakers. But the smoldering anger in his words and the throat-tightening emotion in his voice were enough for me and enough for 125)000 others in those moments that called for a response. Nader and his organization must live and die by the political climate. They sensed a chance for more than a well-publicized rally, more than the emotive self-absoption that Nader himself shunned as a citizen organizer. They knew that for the anti-nuclear movement to parlay the Three Mile Island accident into a real revolt, the attack on the nuclear industry must be a complex' force that encircled both the government that allowed the nuclear industry to go on-line is so many ways and the corporate mentality that drove atomic energy into its advanced state. It Nader and others could succeed'in organizing a grassroots citizen’s movement that addressed nuclear power in such fashion, then the nature of theissue could draw a constituency together that would awe its opponents. Students, minorities, big labor, the elderly, the women’s movement, the gay movement, academia, big cities and the towns, all regions, all colors, ail economic classes' could find a home in the battle against nuclear power. It was a unique issue from the moment it was born, Nader knew, a political blockbuster that in the abstract had no limit to its potential for citizen power. And here it was, coming together in Washington. Potential links “Many of you have come,” Nader instructed the audience, “to quest for a much broader mission. To create society where citizens will run this country and not big corporations.” There he stood, churning his ideology and all the sweat behind it all to this mass of potential organizers, potential leaders, a in links movement potential uprecedented in its breadth and .possible impact. his deeply buried, at the fundamental injustice of American politics to point at And his anger — time-honed anger - the Capitol dome -and scream about the corporations “that put Congress on the for sale!” auction block Surely, few among the crowd sensed all this in Nader’s words. Many had come for a — good time, for a shared afternoon. Few were contemplating the political potential of the anti-nuclear movment. But ifnothing else, they could feel a shiver of intense outrage as Nader spoke and they could identify with a man who, for a few moments on that podium, was possessed with a cause a cause that, in its essence, embraced them all. He may not have made converts for his relentless causes but he made friends with over a hundred thousand whether they know people; friends who it or not are in need of someone like Ralph Nader. “Look at all those people,” he said to me a few hours after his speech, standing behind the podium conversing with the press and various people in the movement. “They’re all here for one reason.” They were not, I knew, all there for his one reason. But Ralph Nader saw it so. And, standing between 125,000 people and the U.S. Capitol, with the May 6 sun pouring down on all of it* one can dream much farther than one can see.

This giant nuclear reactor called the sun releases huge amounts of energy every second and the worst effects of its radioactive wastes might be a common sunburn. The United States now uses over one-third of the world’s fossil fuel, which is the primary source of energy. Current projections indicate that fossil fuel scarcity will be a serious problem for the United States in 20 years. But, several government studies have concluded that solar energy could provide 30 percent of this country’s energy needs by the year 2000. “Solar energy is here, and it’s a thing of the present,” said New York State Assemblyman Richard Long Beach). “We Wertz (R now have to make it safe, and economically effective available to all the people.” — - Wertz has introduced a bill in the State Assembly to insure the safety and effectiveness of solar equipment. In the past, Wertz said, the public “has been flooded with very sharp operators selling inferior products.” This bill would require New State to test and set standards for all solar equipment Wertz believes the measure would increase consumer acceptance of solar energy products and discourage the public’s purchase of cheap, ineffective systems.

New York, for instance, isn’t the ideal area for harnessing solar resources because of its limited sunlight and cold temperatures in winter. But several companies have begun costs experimenting with wind generation, testing the high intensity of the winds off Long Udknd Sound and the Atlantic Ocean Wertz is optimistic about New York’s future with solar energy and he said residents must start seriously considering the alternatives to fossil fuels. “The state's potential is good within the limits of our longitude, latitude and geography,” Wertz said “I think because of our large population and the tremendous quantities of energy we use, we to consider solar energy. When you realize that 90 percent of New York City’s energy is from foreign fossil fuels you know we are ripe for any kind of exterior generator which doesn’t come from foreign oil.” Scientists have said the sun sends to earth more energy in a month than can be obtained from all the fossil fuels in the earth. If the power from the sun can be successfully apd economically captured, the United States could end or at least reduce its dependence on foreign countries for fuel. have Historian to speak - - Buffalo Kite Committee aims for international celebration “Kite Day.” The aim of the BKC is to establish positive public relations by for the Buffalo area establishing “Kite Day” as a major long term aspirations envision an international happening.

As more emphasis is put on attracting top student-athletes, administrators and coaches of women’s teams have had to begin recruiting prospects out of high school, much like the men's teams have been doing for years. However, the restrictions on the approaches a coach can make to based on the rules an athlete are very different that govern men's and women’s collegiate sports. Betty Dimmick, Director of Women’s Athletics at UB, outlines the basic difference, “The most frustrating thing for a coach is that there is no personal contact allowed. In other words, a coach can watch a girl play, but that’s all that she can do She can’t go up to her and talk about our school or anything else,” Dimmick stated The guidelines are set by the Association of Intercollegiate Athletics for Women (AIAW), which was formed in 1967 as the sole governing body for women’s sports on the collegiate level Like the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA), which rules men’s collegiate sports, the AIAW is split into three divisions. All the UB women’s teams are in Division III, the class in which the smallest amount of financial aid is available to student-athletes. No scholarships no money available for aid to student-athletes under SUNY Although there is the University’s regulations, Dimmick is not dismayed about future of women’s athletics here. “We’re not running a business here We want our program to be the best that it can be We gear it to the athlete that’s already here.” She admitted that recruiting is a new feature of women’s programs. “Women’s athletics has come so far in the past five years that we’ve had to move very quickly in order to keep up." While Active recruiting may be new, it certainly can help a fledgling program. A case in point is the Pamela women’s swimming team, under coach to put it Noakes. A year ago, the Royals were terrible. With that first season under her mildly belt, Noakes spent many hours between seasons contacting the best high school swimmers in the area in order to build from the ground up The fruits of her efforts were borne out this past season when her enthusiastic team smashed almost every previous school record. When asked if recruiting was really necessary, Dimmick said, "Recruiting is 80 percent of your job Coaching is so much easier when you have the talent.” However, she did not discourage anyone from coming out for a team. "Many of our best players were girls who were not recruited by anyone; they just wanted to play,” she said. With the growing interest and competition in women’s athletics, Dimmick said that the student who participates in three or four different sports year-round is coming to an end. “It’s tough academically for anyone to compete in more than one sport A girl usually will choose the one sport that she is best in and stick to it.” Dimmick, who also coaches women’s field hockey here, noted that the women’s program, aside from striving for excellence on the field, is an educational experience for all those who come in the - contact with it Thursday thru Sunday s Ja» Vo 1 a AT li»l WYOMING COUNTY PARACHUTE CENTER Mark Murphy from 10 pm SKY-DIVING INSTRUCTION — 2 am DINNERS SERVED FROM Open 6 days a weak.

The all-time UB heavyweight wrestler Paul Curka placed seventh in the National Amateur Athletic Union (AAU) Freestyle Championships held at Ames, Iowa to qualify for the U.S. Olympic Team trials. The chances of Curka winning a spot on the squad that makes the excursion to Moscow a little over a year from now are slim, but the immediate future will direct the UB senior to the prestigious Pan-American games this fall. Curka himself admits that if nything, his Olympic goals are in the area of the 1984 games in Los Angeles. Only in its first year, the women’s track and field team looks promising despite its skeleton roster. In their five meets, the Royals excelling performances from consistently have had shot-putter-discus-thrower Soyka Dobush, sprinter Pat Williams, hurdler Mary Starkweather and long-jumper Jane Schierle. Due to the lack of personnel, many UB competitors have been forced to enter as many as five events. * applicants should contact at 831-5455 for an and informal on employment Bill Finkelstein appointment discussion opportunities. * * � playoffs. * Possible � Intramural softball ended with some late inning heroics by June Swoon’s Scott Sesler who belted a home-run to lead a comeback over the Nimrods. Swoon fell behind early and was trailing by five entering the sixth inning. Thanks to Sesler, June Swoon picked up six runs before setting the Nimrods down in order to secure the win.

The bat Bulls have four doubleheaders remaining including today’s with Canisius. They must win every game if they hope to gain a berth in the Eastern College Athletic Association * * * * What happens to all the playing fields around the Main Street Campus in the fall? Naturally Peele Field is commissioned for use by the baseball team only. Then the fence in centerfield gobbles up Diefendorf. Acheson is now the property of the women’s softball team, so you must stay off that one. Rotary Road has a few good fields, but if there is a lacrosse game, what center-fielder would dare wander into the thick of mid-field change. What’s that leave? Baird field has a backstop and a road in left, a 30-foot drop in right and an infield pitched some 20 degrees. The Acheson field crime is the most pitiful. Aside from throwing up a drift-fence, the grounds are nothing special. It’s annoying when you’re told “stay-off,” only to walk by the next day and see a little league team, cleats and all, knocking hardballs against the flimsy fence. Little League teams do not belong on this campus on a Saturday afternoon. Since playing softball is out, why not try running around Rotary Field. You can’t. Notonly is the track a bonafide disaster area, bu the metallic borders are all ripped up, creating a hazard to the ankles. Combine this with the fact that the track team is forced to hold home meets at Sweet Home High, why not figure on constructing a new track. Costs for an all-weather tarten surface would run approximately $10,000, not a bad gift from the Alumni Association.

Patty Wheelock (right) seems to have the instructions down straight as she waits pitch from Genesee Community College (GCC) hurler JoAnne DeSilve. By the end of a sunny Monday afternoon at Acheson Field, the Royals had GCC looking for a quick exit following a UB sweep of a twin-bill. Over Genesee Community College Hot Royals’ bats instrumental in doubleheader sweep by Carlos Vailarino Assistant Sports Editor Led by Patty Wheelock’s three singles and Andrea Rosenhaft’s complete-game pitching, UB’s women’s softball team defeated Genesee Community College, 9-5 in the first game of a doubleheader Monday afternoon at Acheson Field. “I thought Andrea pitched her best game of the season,” was coach Liz Cousins’ appraisal. “She called a nice game. She mixed it up well, and threw well to their power hitters.” Genesee’s accounted power-packed lineup for several long hits, including a couple of homers and a triple. But it was the Genesee defense that made the play of the a triple play in the bottom of the sixth inning. game The - dramatic play occurred with the bases loaded and UB’s Joanne Fournier at bat. Fournier smashed a one-bouncer to the pitcher, who fielded it cleanly and fired the ball to her catcher for the force out on Mary Hickey coming home from third. The backstop then relayed the ball to the first baseman, who stepped on the base for the second out. That should have been the end of it, but Kim McClellan the first spotted April Zolczer baseman off the bag at third, and quickly made a good peg to Sue Paprocki, who tagged Zolczer off third base for the last out. - - — Home run? big play got pitcher Joanne DeSilva out of trouble in the sixth frame, in spite of two UB singles. But by then the Royals had decided the outcome The THE OFFICE OF ADMISSIONS AND in their favor Genesee’s Arlene Staiken had given the visitors a quick two-run lead in the first inning, belting a ball down the left field line and circling the bases while UB leftfielder Wheelock chased the ball in foul territory. It was ruled a home run. “That’s supposed to be a ground-rule double,” argued Rosenhaft after the game. “I the umpires just guess missed it." A pair of errors and Jean West’s triple in the second got the Royals back in the contest, while a subsequent single by Wheelock scored West with the fourth run of the inning. Paprocki then smashed a long-and-clean home run over the right field fence that put Genesee back within one, at 4-3 in Hhe third ( Paprocki’s bat and opted for a force at third, which she UB tallied without the benefit of a hit in their, third at-bat,made possible through three bases on balls and an error.

Parker News Editor Armed with their instruments and over 1000 signatures. Music students and professor Robert Hatten rehearsed their Baird Hall Asbestos Blues outside University President Robert L. Ketter’s office Friday. The contingent of about 25 concerned members of the Baird Hall community asked Ketter to immediately remove the asbestos ceilings — which they charge are hazardous to their health. Ketter, lurking in Ketter’s office, the President told Hatten that he is who refused to respond to the not in a position to discuss the students in the corridor, met with Baird Hall asbestos situation until Hatten in his office for close to 20 results of an independent air sampling are completed today. minutes. With members of the media University officials, awaiting the musical protesters, had called the cancers resulting from ingestion of but they claiifi asbestos fibers the air samples in Baird Hall are invalid. Hatten explained to the press and his audience that the air samples %ere not conducted under “normal” circumstances nor were they the appropriate type of samples. - v Negligence Ketter listened patiently to Hatten detail what the Music professor believes is an immediate health hazard. The President, repeeatedly commented, “You may be right, but 1 must wait for the expert’s findings,” before reaching any conclusions or taking any action. Although one practice room ceiling was sprayed with a sealant not approved by the Environmental Protection Agency, no substantive remedial action has been taken in Baird Hall since NYPIRG revealed the danger three months ago. Hatten. who left Ketter with a pile of data outlining the hazards of asbestos, charged that Ketter lacks information pertaining to the hazard in Baird Hall because his .Environmental HEalth and Safety Director (Robert Hunt) has been negligent in his job. Hattent remarked, “He has been abusive, insulting research.” to and unwilling do Expert or scholar? While Music students played outside, almost an equal number of University Administrators and University Police officers looked on from behind the door to the President’s suite. Taped to Ketter’s officer door was the following: "This is a private office and shall not be entered into without authorization from the occupant or his designee.” Inside the office, Ketter told Hatten that when the air sample results are completed, Hatten will be invited to discuss his conclusions with Ketter. Ketter asserted that Hatten is not an expert, a scientist, a cancer specialist, or an asbestos authority. Ketter, who said Hatten may very well be competent, noted, “I must ask people who are supposedly knowledgeable” before action. taking 1 Hatten responded, saying, “Of course, I’m not an expert, but I I don’t have to am a scholar be an expert to go to the ex ports or draw conclusions...

Music prof seeks firm promise from Ketter The following is a prepared statement read and signed by Music Professor Robert Hatten at Friday’s protest jn Capen Hall; “This is a University, and yet the adminsitration has relied on the opinion of its Environmental Health and Safety officer, who has been markedly unwilling to do the scholarly research necessary to properly weigh the risks (of asbestos in Baird Hall). He has been abusive to those, such as NYPIRG and myself, who have separately and together compiled sufficient arguments to make removal and replacement of the ceiling an inescapable necessity. This is a University, and yet its students, acting as responsible students, with a genuine concern, have been ignored.

Universtlity Police Officers entered the Chambers during the singing and remained silently in the back of the rbom for the length of the meeting. One minority student managed a few limes to quiet the shouting crowd. After one such instance, he told SA Executive Vice-President and meeting Chairman, Doug Flocarre, “If you don’t keep order than I will.” One senator suggested debate be limited to two minutes for each speaker. After the uproar subsided, she withdrew her motion.. Two senators attempted to sift through the confusing grievances, hoping to find the source of the complaints of the minorities., Their actions proved unsuccessful. Veteran observers of the Senate —i,who have witnessed annual debate surrounding the preparation of SA’s 5900,000 budget expressed no surprise over the delays and arguments which surrounded the proposed , Spectrum Staff Writer The faces may have changed but the stage and the script were the same and the ending was all too familiar. The Student Association (SA) Senate met Tuesday in Talbert Chambers but not for very long. Representatives of various SA organizations were all prepared to fight for a bigger slice of a proposed budget, but they didn’t even have the opportunity to put on their gloves before the Senate Chamber reverberated with allegations, denunciations, yelling and singing. The meeting was cut short after two hours, without any agenda items being discussed. The scenario began when Finance Committee member and delegate from Commuter Affairs, Bob Lowry, proposed an amendment to the SA Constitution, The amendment called for a special committee that would re-evaluate the budget drawn up by the SA Finance Committee, if the budget had not been approved by the Senate as of the last day of classes. The committee was to be comprised of three members of the Senate, three from the SA Executive Committee, and the SA President, who would only vote to break a tie. COLLECTIVE CONFRONTATION: A minority senator points an accusing finger at SA Executive Vice President and Senate Chairman Doug Flocarre. Minority students challenged the Budget bickering At that point. Senator Carlos Benitez interrupted to question Lowry about the lack of minority representation on the Finance Committee, which drew up the proposed budget. The discussion quickly shifted to the Black Student Union’s (BSU) dissatisfaction with its allocation of the budget. BSU, which last year received close to $17,000, had requested an increase to $96,000. However, the Finance Committee proposed that next year BSU $74,000 less than it receive $22,000 requested, but still $5,000 more than last* year’s allocation. ' Other minority organizations rallied behind BSU’s claim, also demanding increased funding next year for their respective groups. BSU Treasurer Benny Lamont-Kyle took center stage, again complaining about the lack of minority representation on the Finance Committee. For the next IS minutes, Lamont-Kyle proceeded to read from a book about the history of slavery. There were repeated - budget. To be continued. Boos and hisses greeted SA President Joe! Mayersohn’s motion that the budget be accepted in its present form Senator Barry Schwartz then motioned to adjourn the meeting. A recess was call shortly afterwards for the dual purpose of ending the disruptions and allowing the Executive Committee and the minority caucus to discuss the matter between themselves. After the recess the meeting was adjourned. The Executive Committee and from the representatives minority then held organizations separate meetings. Immediately close-door following, an unofficial hour and one-half joint discussion between the two factions was held. The two parties will reconvene Tuesday (see related story for details). —Smith student government's proposed — Truck strike delays yearbook printing Holding your breath will only make your senior portrait turn blue.

Upon completion, Lamont-Kyle disputed former SA President Karl Schwartz’s claims that BSU should not receive substantially greater allocations because it does not hold enough cultural events to benefit students. * Uproar The arguments then broke into a spontaneous rendition of “We Shall Overcome” sung by all the 50 to 60 Gap widens over SA budget; caucus falls short of agreement The proposed budget by the Student Association (SA) Finance Committee will probably have to be approved by the SA Executive Committee instead of by the Student Senate, according to SA President Joel Mayersohn. Mayersohn was displeased that the budget could not be settled at Thursday’s boisterous and abruptly-concluded Senate meeting. '‘I believe it is necessary to receive input from students but there is so little time left in the semester that there is a very small possibility of another Senate meeting,”M ayersohn explained. The outcome of the closed-door caucus of the minority SA Executive Committee and organizations did not result in- a settlement. According to Mayersohn, the minority groups and the Executive Committee will meet tomorrow to discuss proposals prepared by each on a budget re-evaluation. - SA Treasurer Kevin Bryant feels that the main issue involves the minority organizations’ belief that they should receive $30,000 more than their proposed, combined allocation of $40,000. “I don’t believe that the Black Student Union (BSU) should be allocated an additional amount,” Bryant asserted. “But I do feel that a budget review for other minority groups may be warranted, for those who think they deserve more.” BSU refused to talk to The Spectrum. A settlement ith the minority groups will lead to similar re-evaluations if requested by other SA organizations, according to Mayersohn. Bryant suggests than any SA organization with a valid grievance submit a written proposal to the Executive Committee which will study the budget this summer. If an SA group is still not satisfied, its representatives may then personally discuss their budget with the committee.

V UB experts debate nuclear power before large Haas Lounge crowd by Joel DiMarco ■City Editor Latching onto a rising campus interest in nuclear power, Student Association and NYP1RG sponsored a lively debate Wednesday between proponents and opponents of nuclear energy, who tossed around mostly familiar arguments before a full Haas Lounge audience. Wan Chon and Philip Orlofsky of UB’s Nuclear Sciences and Technology Facility took the 1 side against atomic fuel expert Marvin Resnikoff and Dentivogli of Workers’ World.

Duliea was scheduled to meet with Buffalo school authorities following his address. Concluding his remarks, ,!.e education official emphasized the State is interested jn more than numbers.

The first question led to a discussion of the recent accident at the Three Mile Island nuclear power plant which Chon agreed has been the most serious reactor accident to date. But he said that pump failures such as the one at Three Mile Island occur “every “ year” and in the past have gone unnoticed by the public. The accident at Three Mile Island, he explained, was aggravated by “poor design by the construction company, Babcock and Wilcox,” and by human error.

Ketter's office for a confrontation over the asbestos problem in Baird Hall. The protesters, who have shown great determination in fighting the reluctant Director of and imagination Environmental Health and Safety Robert Hunt, were full justified in taking their case directly to Ketter, who, as he likes to remind us, is a clearly visible target for anyone with a problem in the university. But the students and faculty who use Baird have more than a problem; they have administrators who aren't convineced that the flaking asbestos tiles in the Baird basement are a health hazard; that is they can't get an admission that there is a problem. Robert Hunt has proven himself insensitive and incompetent in dealing with the potential hazard and should have been removed from the issue a while ago. That, of course, is too decisive an action for this Administration but Ketter could have saved face by simply requesting a sophisticated outside study of the potential dangers supervised not only by Hunt, but by representatives of the music department and NYPIRG. But Ketter preferred to stick with his man on the scene, who of course doesn't have to work and breathe on the scene. So Ketter got what he deserved Friday, with the television cameras there to record it for the rest of Western New York. In the process, what we feel is real reason for the reluctance to act came from Ketter himself, who said: "I do not have the money Thanks again • — — to replace the ceilings."

If the point was merely to express anger over an unfair budget, then the tactic was a success. If the point was to dramatize needs of minority organizations that the proposed SA budget does not meet, then we doubt that members of the Senate are at all sure about what exactly those needs are, how much money they represent and why they are more significant than the needs of any other student organizations that could put more money to use. If the point was to exchange ideas on budgeting priorities, then .surely it was a failure for very little useful exchange was allowed. Simply put, we doubt that the disruption-dramatized the minority cause in any productive way. What we think needs to be started is an intelligent and public dialogue between minority groups and SA officials that includes some demonstration of need, some recognition of limits and some effort by both sides to exchange perspectives that obviously do not meet. From our own perspective, we cannot see where the events of Thursday are a move toward that kind of dialogue. Mr. Calhoun to campus to confront and the losses emasculations of manhood. Not only are ideas and intellectual exchanges shoved brutishly aside, tjut there is no place for women in the power game. Which is why we have absolutely no women in positions of power at this University and part of the reason why tiny Women’s Studies College is perceived 1as such a threat affirmations by the big bad wolves in Capen Hall. This man-to-man match-up of the facts favor the sciences, the professional schools and any other fact-oriented discipline over the thinking, feeling disciplines. It favors the fact-filled administrator over the young and restless student leader. It favors discussions of quanitity over discussions of quality. If favors what is over what could be or might be or ought to be. And thus, it favors the status quo over change and growth. We have here a University aspiring to greatness, and no great ideas to help in the process.” This fact vs. fact mentality is not an accident. It is a way of thinking, begun at the top and injected, by the nature of an autocracy, to the levels below. So when the RA’s fight against roommates, they can’t talk ideas, they can’t talk fairness and unfairness, they can’t talk attitudes and their subtleties; they must talk facts, present lists, gather evidence, match up with the men and take their chances. There was so much of UB in that RA issue but UB never noticed it. Frustration is knowing all this took you two years to team. Frustration is seeing acute, intelligent and extraordinarily dedicated student officials work within a system that dqes not know what to do with their unadorned ideas. Frustration is seeing those officials turn cynical and doubt themselves because they only had ideas and not enough facts. Frustration is bringing the boomstick back to an Oz who just wants to get rid of you and your stories about hearts and minds. And there’s nothing left but bitterness when you watch these same students, who have rearranged their lives around a battle they cannnot win, attacked and abused by other students most of whom are standing on the outside, hands on their hips, with nothing to risk but an afternoon of part-time activism. Yes, I am quite pigheaded on this point, after seeing so many sincere and truly committed people roped to the stake by these , — self-righteous, do-nothing misanthropes. Mixed with the bitterness is a bewilderment at how so many groups of students could speak and act from so many different persepctives and never begin to make them meet. Certainly 1 was a large part of one group, locked into my own perspective in a role that demanded just the opposite. So locked into it that I often felt like I was speaking and sometimes screaming another language. Of course, half of learning another language is learning how to adjust the way you listen. But those were difficult adjustments to make, what with egos and all. It was always so much easier to be Right in your own language, even if Right meant nothing to anyone else. But in the end, bitterness and frustration can be left behind like spent shells. The questions that hindsight drags into focus will come along for the march out of here. Which is alright with me, since they can take their place behind the people here who, while bandaging and unbandaging their own lives, always knew how to be a family when the moment called for it. There are the little releases to look forward to. 1 won’t have that twist of irrational hurt when I see the footprint-smeared copies of The Spectrum lying on the floor. I won’t have to humor the caller who is incensed over a Backpage announcement that I had nothing to do with. And somebody else can turn out the lights and lock the-doors. I’ll be in exile on Main Street, living from the gut. Take a message and I’ll return the cajj. v. — - �daymondaymondn' feedback Graduate School Dean Gilbert Moore dies Gilbert D. Moore, Dean of the Division of Graduate and Professional Education, died Saturday night of cancer. Moore, who was 53, came to this University in 1961. A counseling professor, he held numerous administrative posts during his tenure here. Under UB President Martin Meyerson, Moore was Assistant to the President. During his career, Moore also served as both Acting Provost of Educational Studies and Arts Letters. Moore left Buffalo in 1975 to become Dean & of the School of Education at SUNY Albany. He returned to UB to become Dean of the Grad School in November. Up until last week, Moore was actively involved in the Univeristy. He is survived by his wife, Maryly and three children, David, Linda and Richard. The Spectrum would like to extend its condolences to the family of Gilbert Moore. His courage, integrity and humanity will be missed as much as his academic contribution tb this University. A close friend's eulogy 1 am filled with a deep sense of loss and sadness at the passing of Gilbert D. Moore. He was a close friend who knew my weaknesses but chose to respond to my strengths. He understood my fears and feelings of ambivalence but preferred to reinforce my confidence and ray capacity to identify goals. He was a constant force for positive development in my life for almost two decades. He was always hopeful, buoyant and optimistic. He had a heart of grace. What was truly remarkable about Gilbert Moore was that this attitude and strength that was so vital to me in our personal relationship was something he was able to share with everyone around him. He searched for worth in people he met, and by so doing, encouraged each of them to reach for new levels of accomplishment and to develop an expanded sense of personal tasks to be accomplished and made demands on himself to confront increasingly complex problems, which he tackled with a rare combination of rationality, energy, and directness. He lived the last eighteen months of his life consistent with this pattern and with the added complication of carrying on a struggle with the disease that ultimately claimed his life. He lived and worked without pretense, ornament and with as much dignity as it is possible to muster in both his personal and His substantive relationships. professional contributions to his profession and to the academic community will need to be Catalogued elsewhere. The absence of his courage, integrity and unwavering support is my and our most serious loss. * competence. He loved work as some love art and for him, working was an art. He organized his life into Robert H. Rossherg Dean of the Faculty of Educational Studies Open letter to the University community Dear Colleagues. The University Affirmative Action Committee (UAAC), established in response to a State University mandate to demonstrate commitment at the campus level to equal opportunity in education and employment, is now a fully constituted entity at SUNY at Buffalo. Its structure and charge have been developed to provide maximum impetus to the institution’s Affirmative -Action policies and purposes, and to foster continued progress towards equitable goals. The UAAC takes this opportunity to share its operating philosophy with the University community and invites full campus participation in committee concerns. In today’s climate of disillusion and debate over statutory requirements, a rededication by us at the University to the ideal of equal opportunity seems particularly apt. Statistical evidence of progress is not encouraging. There remain obvious gaps between the enunciation of general policies and their full implementation. UAAC’s purpose is to bridge those gaps and, to help translate words into actions rhetoric into reality. The Committee’s structure reflects its four major functions; (1) to provide for a grievance mechanism; (2) to encourage the admission and retention of minority, women and handicapped students; (3) to encourage the hiring, promotion, and salary equity of minority, women and handicapped to faculty and staff; and (4) communicate information about the University’s affirmative action program both internally and to ,' outside publics. To accomplish these ends, the Committee has: (1) Identified a pool of over 100 members of the University community to serve on tripartite panels to adjudicate grievances through the procedure instituted by' the SUNY Chancellor’s Office, Wesley Carter, Office to Student Affairs, will serve as Grievance Chairman, activating the panels as needed to respond to filed grievances and monitoring the processing of complaints; (2) Established a Commission of Recruitment, Admission and Retention of Students, to be cochaired by Mary Kay Barren, Assistant Dean for Student Affairs, School of Nursing, and Turner Robinson, Undergraduate Student Association, to assist appropriate University officials in complying with federal and state directives tp increase the enrollment of minority, women and handicapped students. This commission will monitor progress to and Researching rates. enhance retention recommending training programs and funding sources to increase available options for such students, especially in the graduate and professional schools, will receive major emphasis; (3) Instituted a Commission on Recruitment, under Hiring and Advancement of Faculty and Staff, Retro, Dr. co-chairmanship of Carole Smith the F. Associate Dean of The Colleges, and Dr. William Commission’s English. The of Fischer, Department responsibility will he to enhance the opportunities — _ , for minorities, women and the handicapped in University employment and salary equity. (4) Formulated a Communications Commission, co-chaired by Mante E. Abbott, Office of the Vice President for Research, and Richard E. Baldwin, Associate Director, Office of Public Affairs, to communicate the Committee activities to on-and-off campus media. The Commission in special instances will arrange for speakers and discussion leaders from the Committee to appear before campus and community groups. Other ad hoc commissions and sub-committees may be established in the future so that the Committee can utilize the broad spectrum of assistance artd expertise existing in the Univeristy or wider community. At least three open plenary sessions will be held each semester, at which time interested parties may express in person their concerns and interests. Additional activities of the Committee will include assisting the University Affirmative Action Office in carrying out statistical updates and reviews required by University, state and/or federal mandate and evaluating results of actions to date. In conjunction with the Affirmative Action Office, the UAAC will identify those areas of the University which have deficient in equalizing proved opportunities and help them to improve their records. Traditional prejudicial attitudes which act as barriers to truly “affirmative” action will be illuminated, to eliminate instances of tokenism or overt bias in hiring. Units that have achieved admirable progress towards Affirmative Action goals will be identified and encouraged to share their procedures with colleagues. The Committee reports to the President of the University and is advisory to the Affirmative Action Officer and will report to them and to the University community on its activities and progress. As the “conscience” of the University in Affirmative Action affairs, the UAAC will strive to stimulate a commitment to change based as much on Amateur politics cont. , To the Editor. . I Mr. Rosen, your personal dislike of President Ketter has blinded you to the issue at hand. You 2 claim that Tony Leavy is playing an amateur game 3 of politics. Are you aware of the political j maneuvering that has taken place in Sub Board and concerning the Association Student the controversial mandatory payment for abortion coverage?? Throughout the past year, Jane Baum, former Vice-Chairperson of Sub Board I, Inc., continually stated that student input was essential in the formation of next year’s plan. Ms. Baum’s idea of gathering student input was to hold an Open Forum on the issue and listen to the remarks of students. Oddly enough, the Forum was scheduled on International Women’s Day, March 8. Such an action reflects her persistent attempt to cloud the issue of conscientious objection and infer that an option plan would be anti-women. Shortly after this Forum, Sub Board narrowly approved the continuation of mandatory payment for abortion coverage. This decision was made despite the- fact that an annual survey of student opinion was being conducted at the time. Rather than wait for the results of this poll, Ms. Baum decided to impbse her personal beliefs on the majority of students at this university, Perhaps she anticipated the survey results, which show that more than 80% of U/B students favor some type of optional plan! 80% of recognize the students and the respect conscientious rights of their fellow students. Ms. Baum claims the survey questions were somewhat bias, though she herself was among those who composed the questions!! Along with Ms. Baum, S.A. President Joel Mayersohn engaged has in some political maneuvering of his own. Recently, i went to his office seeking appointment as an undergraduate representative on Sub Board. Mr. Mayersohn has the sole authority of appointing undergrad representatives. I was told by Mr. Mayersohn that I need not bother applying for the position because I favored optional abortion coverage and he would appoint no student who had similar beliefs. He justified his position by stating that he did not want to undo the work of Jane Baum!! He is clearly obstructing the democrat*? process by refusing to recognize the overwhelming student request for an option. Like Ms. Baum, he has chosen to foist his personal beliefs on everyone thoroughly disgusted with these else. 1 am irresponsible and manipulative actions and demand an explanation!! Their lack of sensitivity and failure to respond to the overwhelming opinion of students can not continue. - Larry Connors Leavy: Hypocrisy To the 'Editor: Besides showing a high degree of contempt for students and student-run processes for determining issues, Tony Leavy, in his request to Ketter to delay a decision on the abortion coverage issue, has also shown a high degree of hypocrisy. Tony Leavy, who now asserts that it was the a survey which prompted him to contact Ketter, is the same person who refused to take notice of a Student Bar Association-sponsored survey, conducted at the Law School, which supported mandatory abortion coverage. His equivocation on the weight to be accorded results of surveys is yet a further indication of the anti-abortion movement’s projection of fheir views as sacred while ours are profane. John L. Stainthorp philosophical conviction as on legal imperatives. With membership' a drawn from each vice presidential area and relevant constituent groups on campus, the committee represents a potential resource for administrators, academic departments, students and employees at all levels.

The same imagination that creates monsters, fuels modern technology.-That creative capacity that we all have is precious to me. It makes music and art, builds buildings and enables us to fly, it weaves fabric and ideas. The creative spirit makes me feel alive! So when I see people deliberately floating on the anti-nuclear mainstream, refusing nuclear technology and science in general, I must wonder if a monster really hasn’t been created. The sensationalists coverage by the news media of the Harrisburg incident is interesting in retropsect. At the time, a mixture of the news reports and hearing people talk about them lead me to think that there was a hydrogen bubble that was certainly going to explode. People miles from the site would be threatened. Now we are told that the danger was not as great as it was thought. In any case, the situation was handled Only low levels of radiation escaped (Those data about a trip to Denver being more dangerous than the radiation leakage at Harrisburg really are true.) No, nuclear reactors are not monsters ready to strike. The more that you understand a thing, the less fear it will invoke in you. People are being influenced by motion pictures; who is Jane Fonda anyway? A figure for activism and feminism or a figure for the intellectual, scientific and creative spirit in America? People are using environmentalist inertia against nukes as a vehicle to attack unrelated issues. Who is ‘‘prophet of doom” George Wald? A physicist? A medical biologist? Do these figures whose views the public takes for their own, know the facts? Are they qualified to speak for ot against we allow them to turn us science? They are not, from clear thinking. We will listen to Frank Rather and quote him when we like what he says and curse him along with all American politicians as liars and deceivers when we do not. There is a monster about \o mature in America It is this movement against science 'That, we sould fear. Like most man-made monsters, this one was, created out of ignorance by the" imagination. It, thrives on people Who look at a work of science like a reactor and see all the unrealistic things that go wrong and derive terror from it. This monster causes people to assume the label “anti-nuke” or “pro-nuke” and so limits them from thinking on their own. 1 will riot be possessed by this monster unless the scientific facts change. My closing plea to the reader is to do your own thinking. Think clearly. Don’t get all of your information from The Spectrum or Time. They are better for an understanding of mainline thought on a topic. Read through articles on nuclear power in publications like Nature or Scientific Amcricam These magazines carry along with some very technical papers, many articles that are readily accessible to laypersons. And be as swayed by movies like The China Syndrome as you would by by The Eggplant that Ate Chicago. See them as thriller fiction. There are problems and “risks” with nuclear technology problems to be solved, risks to be minimized. We all must approach these problems as scientists or at least as intelligent people. We must depend on cool reason. The monster has two sides: The madman part that absolutely condemns nuclear science, and the part that v is “in love” with the anti-nuke movement, have taken it and are possessed by it, irrationally viewing nuclear technology as a monster. And it is true; “Lovers and madmen have such seething brains Such shaping fantasies, that apprehend More than cool reason ever comprehends.” — * — , David B. Townsend IRC: Bring 'em back alive To the Editor. We the officers of IRC would like to take this opportunity to say a few things before everyone goes home for the summer.

I reclined restlessly It was in my second floor flat. I was alone and the silence of my room brewed in me, a terrible power. 1 tried no! I must listen for to relax, I turn on the stereo the slightest disburtance I reach for a book, the no! My eyes must television for some comfort keep the watch, must perceieve the waivering of a curtain, the slightest quaking of a blind as suspect. The killer was still at large It could be observing now, 1 thought. I sit up. I wipe my eyes. Suddenly, the room seems even stiller to me. A shadow springs up near the window. I dare not move. Another shadow creeps up fm behind, another launches cavernous voids of deep blacks at me. Oh! I dare not move, 1 sit still! I could feel the specter-blacks slither from their haunches. 1 could feel their steel-cold clutches possess now a shoulder, now an arm. Suddenly, I tear away from them and run towards the door. I stop. What am I doing? There’s nothing in my room. I feel myself returning to sensibility. The room is once again composed of the wood of chairs, the fabrics of draperies. I sit down. 1 fix my hair. I wipe the sweat from my forehead. The room seemed brighter now. 1 thought of the fine frenzy that had just possessed me, I felt foolish. Bottom's lines in A Midsummer's Night Dream came to me, “Such tricks strong imagination that, if it would apprehend some joy, it comprehends some bringer of that joy, or in the night, imagining some fear, how easily is a bush supposed a bear!” In those 30 minutes, a shadow was no longer air and light. It was as a subtle demon pursuing my soul, a horrid beast that sought to gorge on ray flesh. I has surely been a “madman.” Let’s talk about monsters then. What is it about the human imagination that has created the various monsters throughout history in out literature and lore? I’m not sure that 1 know the answer to that. Monsters have a variety of attributes that make them horrifying. We think of the Hunchback with his depraved sensibilities and “ugly” appearance, Dracula with his knack with total possession and slight overtones of sexual perversity, or-the movies Jaws and drizzly where a natural creature suddenly behaves unnaturally. We think of “unnatural” creatures like martians, wizards and disciples of Satan out to capture souls. Then there are a number of monster figures that fall into the class “man-made.” Thd' movies show us a variety of genetic and hormonal experiments that run amuck and produce man-eating plants, gigantic gorillas and earth-covering suffocating slime molds. Then there are, computers of 20QI fame. I apologize to any monster scholars (i.e, scholars of monsters) if by my simplification, I have misrepresented this fine fiction! The model of the man-made monster is probably Frankenstein. We see this monster as a troubled, uncontrollable, devastating force created by man out of ignorance and greed. 1 think that this is ture for the original and contemporary renditions of the story. Some would say that humans have an inherent fear of the unknown and that we take the abstraction, “the unknown” and personify it as a monster like Frankenstein. The imagination can conceive all of “those things that could happen” and from each possibility, constrew a monster. Patients with paranoic tendencies often create sorts of monsters that trouble them though they do not physically exist. Presently in the world, there are a number of monster figures. You might argue that to say that someone like Idi Amin is a monster-type depends on where you’re from. But 1 think that we can at least view grossly violent criminals like body mutilators and rapists as monster-types. Let’s move on to more' directly man-made monsters. Let’s talk about nuclear power. Nuclear reactors are not monsters. They are scientific machines. I would have to do a great deal of exaggerating and rationlizing to write a convincing defense for the view, held by an amazing number of uncertain students, that the nuclear reactor can be seen as a monster figure. Nuclear reactors are not out to get us. I plan to wait until my next essay to talk science about nuclear power. For now, I will stick to It seems as though everyone wants to dump on IRC, and we don’t blame them, but we’re doing something about it. Right now we are working on; a summer booklet to send to all freshman and returning students; all movie and activity schedules for next year; moving the office to a new prea (we are giving up our Quad and double for student living spaces); planning our orientation program; paying bills that have accumulated and not been paid since September, and hopefully getting the opening weekend Beer Blast into it’s final planning stage. Many people hve been disappointed with IRC in the past, and say that they would never join again. This is going to be our major problem, we would like everyone to realize that the organization is an ongoing entity, but th$ officers are not. We (the new officers) hope to make IRC the best student organization on campus. You’ve taken enough bullshit, now we’re going to do it right, it you give us the chance! The more members we have, the better the organization will be. So please don’t pull out help us bring back IRC as the best dorm — Thank you.

Ketter has the ammunition to shoot down Sub Board’s previous decision. Stainthorp, who personally supports mandatory coverage, said he ould just as vigorously oppose an attempt by pro-abortionists to go through the Administration to overturn a ruling against the coverage. Stainthorp also accused Leavy of a high degree of “hypocrisy” for refusing to acknowledge a Student Bar Association survey whose results favored mandatory abortion coverage. The gap between those law students favoring mandatory coverage and those opposed was “reasonably close,” he said, but clearly in favor. Stainthorp noted that the Association required the Law School rep to Sub Board to vote against mandatory coverage, charging the Association with “clearly ignoring” its own survey. Leavy said the Bar Association knew of the survey and weighed the results prior to casting a vote, unlike Sub Board, which voted before the Health Insurance Advisory Committee’s survey was released. Baum has defended holding the vote before the survey was completed, since the survey was not slated to be finished until very late in the semester. Baum emphasized that she hoped to decide the controversial issue before summer vacation, so that students could voice their opinions on the issue. Leavy said he understood Baum’s motivations and was certainly sensitive to them because of the trouble the corporation had last year. Sub Board approved this year’s mandatory coverage over the summer of 1978, drawing fire from Rights of Conscience groups and the local news media. Leavy said three other Sub Board reps also signed a letter asking Ketter to delay his approval of the policy. Millard Fillmore College (MFC) representatives Kathy Stifler and Kurt VandeVelde, who were bound by MFC to vote against mandatory coverage, signed the letter. The third co-signer was newly elected SA Vice President of Sub Board Barbara Hilliard. Hilliard ran on a platform opposing mandatory coverage claiming that it was discriminatory because men would be required to pay for women’s abortions. Busing woes New committee hopes to untangle Springer knots The announcement that a committee charged with a massive in order to decrease the number*of inter-campus trips has taken shape and was among the top items addressed at Friday’s meeting of the Springer Implementation Steering Committee (SIS). The resolution to create the committee was passed in April and SIS Chairman Walter Kunz announced that it has now been formed. The committee will study the relationships between courses in certain academic majors in an attempt to devise an improved pattern of course scheduling. Its members include: Howard English from Computing; Student Association President Joel Mayersohn; Busing Director Roger McGill; Bud Kuntz, Director of Instructional Services and Testing; Ellen McNamara from Admissions and Records; Richard Noll from Scheduling; Executive Vice President Charles M. Fogel, the Chairmaru ahd Kunz. Kurtfe said the committee will tackle its charge from two angles. First, it will perform a computer analysis of the course schedule, conducted by English, to “try and get a handle on movement” of students between campuses, according to Kunz; and secondly, by means of a survey it may try to determine just how often students use the buses. In other Springer-related news, Kunz indicated that a supplementary SARA class schedule containing additional sections and times for classes will be prepared after information from pre-registration is compiled and analyzed. The work of the DUE Curriculum Committee, which is examining all courses that deviate from the new three credit for three contact hour norm, will not be implemented in the fall, according th Kunz. Thus some classes may change in credits between revision of UB’s class schedule semesters.

The truck is forced to slow down at several intersections because motorists fail to pull over. Smitty, a Rescue 2 rookie fresh from the training academy, ogles women on the street. Two blocks from the fire, smoke is heavy in the air; acrid and penetrating. Our throats feel tight. We arrive at the scene of the fire and the crew pours out, into the blazing two-story brownstone. “Rescue 2 on location .go on, boys!” shouts Donovan. Someone's gotta be crazy,” he tells us, moving quickly towards the fire. “Everyone else runs out; we run in.” \ . . “ Roof open Muffled commands can be heard as we approach the building. Firefighter Larry McDaniel shakes his head and remarks, “We’re too late, the building is too far gone;” The first five minutes of a fire when an attack can save the building are considered to be the most crucial. Tonight, either the fire or the squad had been called in too late. There’s a strange silence in the burning house, occasionally broken by the crackle of fire. It’s getting hotter, brighter, as we move in on the flames. A1 Fomucci gives one wall a walloping blow with a long, pointed “pike” pole. Flames stream up the wall and it crashes. A great rush of air roars into the center of the blaze. The rookies hoot and holler excitedly. The hook and ladder crew moves in with hoses. Some flames remain hidden in walls and ceilings until exposed by vigorous jabs with the pike poles and then squelched. The roof is finally opened to more yelps and shouts. For Rescue 2, it’s pack-up time. Axes and pikes are. searched for in the rubble of what was a 140-year old building. The men trudge onto the truck and strip off sooty, soaked outer layers. “Resuce 2 in service,” Captain Donovan radios, signalling that the men are ready for yet another “worker.” The men seem quiescent, satisfied with their efforts. ,‘Nothing is greater for relieving tension than breaking open a roof or two,” smiled Smitty. — — orking 2 will Frank ito the garage Rhode pants, flash, rks to imated rs on hiring H V SiST.;. ;■ llw) KpC Nra. y* V ' to . ises i ; s turn. ;s the ‘■fi �N t We are accepting applications for many (JUAB support positions for the 79 80 school year for the following - • Film Ushers • - Coffeehouse Ushers .4, • •’ «• Sound Tech Personal • Gallery 219 Security » Applications available 106 Talbert Hall, AC DEADLINE FOR APPLICATIONS IS MAY 18th. mil takes.”' Chon said that during the entire crisis at Three Mile Island, the reactor was in little danger of a core meltdown, more popularly known as a “China Syndrome.” Chon quipped that a core meltdown should more accurately be called the “Western Australia Music Security • Nuke debate,..

The final question from the floor was asked by a woman who stated that “50 percent of our uranium reserves lie under Indian land, mostly in the Southwest,” which has been acquired by the oil companies. She alleged that American Indians who work in these uranium mines are being exploited by mine owners and are being exposed to harmful radiation levels both by working in these mines and by living near wastes generated by them. Orlofsy, operations manager for UB’s reactor, said he felt the existence of the uranium on Indian latlcf was the best thing that could have happened to them. “I think it’s about time the Indians got a break,” he declared, adding that the mines would probably help American Indians improve the quality of their lives.

The main themes of the course, focus upon weather and climates, soils, ecosystems, and land-forms. The role of Man in modifying and controlling the physical environment is highlighted. The course emphasizes the linkage of physical-and organic processes through the cycling of energy and materials within ecosystems. In addition to a systematic treatment of the major physical systems of the atmosphere, biosphere, and lithosphere, there are summary regional syntheses of terrestrial ecosystems and global landscapes. _ The goal of this course is to introduce the student to some of the substantive problems which are of interest to the human geographer.

He aded that the State University in New York lacks the historical and significance political autonomy of its counterparts in other states. Perhaps, once its role with respect to private education is determined, the authority of SUNY will be more defined. Administrators "and officials within the State system share basically the same understanding of what the major powers individually do. Quickly identified is the role each performs, yet no uniform concensus exists as to their “powers”. Some argue that DOB as the financier of the State iss the dominant force. Others claim that SED as the -general educational authority and elder of the, group possesses most clout. The best argument for SUNY is that it is equal among the three. In a. state which spends one billion dollars annually on higher education, there is confusion as to who, if anyone, holds power. The web of authority is knotted by overlapping duties, intrusion by each branch into “alien” fields of interest and a history of antagonism. �f Squireblast returns beer and music to flow You asked for a Squireblast and you got one.

The finals take care of this year, but the real struggle is for the ensuing semester. Put simply, the recruiting season is the time of year when college coaches are seeking out student-athletes to their school. The prospective enroll at emphasis is placed during the time most high school heaviest seniors make their final choice of a college. This is generally between the months of January and April, although some high school standouts attract the attention of some coaches as early as their sophomore years and some athletes who are highly in demand may hold off on their final decision to attend until as late as the month of July. The University of Buffalo competes in Division III of the Collegiate National Athletic Association (NCAA). This level of competition allows financial aid to student-athletes only on the basis of need, just as any other student would be. Also, unlike Division I schools, UB is not able to pay the travel expenses of a prospective student visiting the school, even if there campaign to area high schools. The high school coach will return the names of students interested in UB, and the college coach takes it from there, setting up interviews, campus tours, and promoting the University and what it has to offer. All the coaches interviewed mentioned three main selling points on UB: the wide of quality scope programs the University this size has to offer, along with the relatively low cost to attend, the chance to step in and play right away, and believe it or not, facilities. Football Coach Bill Dando said, “You should see how bad the facilities are at some of the schools we play at. When we went to Waynesburg (Pa.), there were two showers for the entire team!” “Actually,” he continued, “We have one of the best fields around. It’s kept in excellent condition.” This process by no means excludes out-of-town schoolboys from consideration, but the cost of keeping in contact with students from downstate New York or out .of state is prohibitive. Ed Muto, Director of Men’s Athletics, emphasized that, “There are lots of things that we would like to do to expand and improve our programs, but there’s no money available.” Main job How important is recruiting to success of a program? “Recruiting is the name of the game,” says Dando, “Everybody works hard, some have better facilities than others, but anyone is a better coach if you have the kids,” he said. Dando, who has considerable recruiting experience at all levels competition, of including Division I stints at Southern Methodist University and UB, firmly believes that recruiting is the most important aspect of his job.' “The team with the best players will win almost all of the time. Its our job, as coaches, to get the very best athlete we can.” Dando makes note of the outstanding job his players have done for him, many having stepped right out of high school. “We get boys who could play at Syracuse and other Division I schools. These kids are overlooked by the larger schools they because may not have pro-size or pro-speed, but how can you measure the intangibles, like heart or desire? We show an interest in them, and the kids like that.” Dr. Sal Esposito, Chairman of Recreation, Athletics and Related Instruction (RARI) and soccer the coach, reiterates, “The blue-chip player isn’t going to Come here because the Division 1 school will grab him up.” Student first Esposito feels 'that coach speaks in tones about some of the recruits he lost. “They get all set to come here, and then some other school will offer them the only type of student worth going after is the one who will make a decision responsible mature, concerning his future. “He has to realize from the start that he has to be a student first. I’m busy enough without having to worry whether a kid is flunking out or not.” He added, “The mature kid is one who will take advantage of the educational opportunities at UB and not worry about turning pro.” The disappointing small a Ii | I One double order I of Chicken Wont FREE with the purchase of a double.

Actually, Wojcik was slightly less than sensational, as he reached Bengal pitching for two home runs, a double, three singles, two walks and four stolen bases on just 1 1 trips to the plate. In all, the centerfielder’s marvelous exhibition produced 13 total bases, five RBI and five runs. the lead 17-7. 9 >T " error by Buffalo State’s rightfielder allowed UB to add a run to its lead, and a tremendous home run by the lefthanded Pettiford which landed at the base of a building about 350 feet from gave the Bulls a home plate fourth-inning 4* 0 lead.

They were held scoreless for the rest of the contest by UB hurlers Dennis Howard - three strikeouts in two frames and Don Griebner. The Bulls, meanwhile, heeded the sideline advice of their coach, who yelled, “Don’t make this game interesting . . please,” and scored three times in the fifth with the aid of four consecutive two-out singles by the bottom of the lineup.

After a couple of costly miscues and a by walk new hurler Dave Rosenhahn, Jon Walton strokeda RBI double and Mike Aughtman belted a long four-bagger to score three more, making the count 13-7. Randy Shoemaker, who had the hosts’ battered replaced starter on the mound, could not find the plate in the sixth, and walked four batters, including three in a row while two were out. Following a Gregg Miller RBI single, the Bulls led 15-7. A two-run double by UN’s Neil LaPash in the seventh (and last) . leading 7—1. Two more runs came in on a mental error by Bengal third basdman Bill Gleason and a run-scoring hit by (who else?) Wojcik in the seventh. The sweep was more or less expected by the Bulls, because as Howard put it, “They [Buffalo State] were an easy club, and you can’t affprd to lose to them.” Doubleheader postponed Friday's scheduled doubleheader between the baseball Bulls and Canisius was postponed due to poor field conditions, and will be made up Wednesday, May 9. The first contest will start at I p.m. in Peele Field. first with Matt Szkotak and third with Bill Regan. Szkotak’s toss of 170 feet-four inches, was nearly thirteen feet better than the next best thrower’s, but not as long as he had predicted it would be. “He said he was going for 175 feet,” revealed Bell. “I promised him a bottle of champagne if he threw that, which is about the best incentive Matt could have. He did not get it. but probably will next time.” The talented Szkotak also scored in the shot third with a mark of 40 feet, one and put three-fourths inches and the discus throw fourth with a distance of 124 feet, two inches and is expected to have a long and prosperous career with the UB squad. “He is only a freshman, and will become one of the best throwers in the state,” predicted Bell. UB’s mile relay team finished second, only two seconds behind the Bengals’ four-man, which is one of the best in Division III. The Bulls’ Squad’s time of three minutes, 28 seconds was enough to please the coach, but Bell strongly believes that, given time, they can break the 3:26 mark. Other high finishers for Buffalo were: John Bilash, fourth in the 220-yard dash; Dave Norton, third in the 440-yard dash; Ken Dole, third in the 880-yard dash; Gene Schwall, second in the one-mile run; Butch Anson, fourth in the three-mile run; Dave Jaloweic, fourth in the 120-yard high hurdles; Regan, third in the long jump; Keith Patterson, third in the high jump; John Centra, third in the discus throw.

April plan —continued on page 22— • Law School representative to Sub Board Leavy has asked University President Robert L. Ketter to delay his decision on approving the abortion coverage until his proposal is discussed at the May 17 Board of Directors meeting. Ketter was unavailable for Tony comment Wednesday. Abortion coverage in the mandatory student health plan has already been approved by Sub Board in a 5-4 vote on March 22. Recently, the Health Insurance Advisory Committee also voted against optional abortion coverage. However, the plan must still meet the approval of Ketter whose decision is scheduled to be announced May 9. Survey is important Leavy, who is the Student Bar Association’s summer representative to Sub Board, bases his contention for a continuation of the abortion debate on a preliminary report of a student survey commissioned by the Advisory Committee. Leavy maintained, “After I saw the which showed that students were overwhelmingly in favqr of optional abortion coverage, I felt that Sub Board should at least opening the issue.” Leavy has received from new Sub Board Chairman Michael Belgarde that his proposal will be on the agenda at Sub Board’s next meeting. The survey, which asked students’ opinions on a wide range of health issues including abortion, has been labeled as being invalid by those who believe that a question on how the abortion coverage should be handled was worded with bias in favor of an optional plan. Those who believe students should haVe an option have reconsider assurrances maintained that the survey is a true indicator of students’ feelings and must be considered in any decision concerning the abortion plan. Sub Board’s former chairman Jane Baum displeasure expressed considerable oveY reopening the abortion debate. ‘The issue has already been decided by a democratic process,” she stressed. “If we have to go through the process again the students will suffer.” Baum was concerned that a decision on the health plan will not be made before the end of the semester if Leavy’s proposal becomes reality. teavy has already called and written Ketter - Inside: Financial aid Changes—P. 2 / Athletes’ grade policy—P. 5 / US asking for a delay in his decisiop. Although Ketter has not made an announcement on delaying his approval, Leavy feels Ketter will most likely postpone it. He claimed, “The sense 1 got from Ketter is that he will not make any decision until the students have completely settled the issue.” Baum who cast the deciding vote when Sub Board approved it, was not optimistic about a quick settlement of the health plan, “Ketter will probably take this opportunity to delay his decision,” she said. She added, “He’s been given a convenient way out of not making a decision until it is made absolutely clear that he is Only abiding by the students’ wishes.” Student Association (SA) President Joel Mayersohn, who as SA representative to Sub Board voted in favor of the mandatory abortion coverage, felt that Leavy’s rekindling of the issue “was a very poor move on his part.” He explained, “I’m afraid that this might give an increased authority to the President in the decision-making policies of student government. Responses from the UB Rights of Conscience Group and the UB Coalition for Abortion Rights and Against Sterilization Abuse (CARASA) were typical of the rhetoric that has surrounded the abortion issue since it surfaced last summer. Wishes of majority Rights of Conscience Chairperson Stephen iCrason echoed Leavy’s reasoning for reopening the debate. “This is the only sensible thing to do in' light of the survey’s results,” he said. “Sub Board’s claim that their decision was fair is untrue. The democratic,process was manipulated. It was entirely improbable that Sub Borad didn’t wait to vote until the survey results were in so the general student opinion could be heard.” CARASA representative Trisha Franzen claimed “partisan politics” was the reason behind Leavy’s actions. Although unaware of the new developments, until contacted by The Spectrum, Franzen expressed immediate dismay. “It’s absurd to reopen it. Those who were defeated by the previous vote are showing sheer obstinacy in not being able to accept the wishes of the majority of the students.!’ Folkfest— Centerfold / Synanon expose—P. 21 �0 * M f BEFORE YOU LEAVE FOR SUMMER VACATION W ft ? % SELL YOUR BOOKS 1 „ HEW Secretary pushes to reduce loan default a $ by Joel DiMarco City Editor The Carter Administration has spent the past month quietly pushing a plan to consolidate the government’s various financial assistance programs and make colleges more responsible for the disbursement of. student aid while relieving them of the task of collecting on student loans. The plan was partially introduced by Joseph Califano Jr., Secretary of Health, Education and Welfare (HEW), March 21 before a House education subcommittee. At that time Califano was asked by the subcommittee for a progress report on the effectiveness of plans instituted by HEW in the past few months to lower the default rate for the student loan programs. According to a transcript of that hearing, Califano reported to the subcommittee that the Federal government expects to provide almost $7.4 billion in student aid this year. Of that, $4.9 billion will be disbursed through direct student aid programs such as the Basic Educational Opportunity Grant (BEOG) program. Much of the rest of the student aid will come in the form of government sponsored student loan programs. The two largest of these student loan programs are the Guaranteed Student Loan (GSL) program and the National Direct Student Loan (NDSL) program. Califano reported that the default rate for the GSL program has dropped from 14 percent to 10 percent in less than a year, meaning that 100,000 students who had been in default have repar their loans. But for the NDSL program, Califano admitted to only lim.ced success In lowering the current default rate of 17 percent, which amounts to 800,000 students in defaults totaling $700 million. Under the present repayment system, schools are required to arrange interviews with students who have received NDSL loans to arrange a repayment schedule before they transfer or graduate. If schools do not attempt in good faith to arrange such interviews, HEW may deny the school the funds to continue its NDSL loans to students. Califano told the committee that this new system was a significant improvement over the old system and effective in preventing the current NDSL default rate from rising even higher as it has in past years. But he was forced to admit that the new system has had little discernible effect in lowering the NDSL defaiilt rate. Shortly before Califano testified before the House subcommittee, the Carnegie Council on Policy Studies in Higher Education released a report recommending the introduction of a “self-help component” into the formula that determines the amount of aid students will get. The plan essentially calls for students who seek Federal or State aid for a college education to get a part-time or summer job to help pay for their schooling. The report contends that such a self-help component would provide a more accurate gauge of a student’s determination and commitment to getting a college education. A similar self-help component has for years been included in the financial aid schedules used by the College Scholarship Service and the American College Testing program. The Carnegie is expected to be released in its final written form at the end of this month but the recommendation for the self-help component is likely to remain intact. The Carnegie Council had stopped releasing copies of its earlier report because of complaints that the wording of the original report was unnecessarily ambiguous. The report is important in that it is expected to have an impact on a new Higher Education Act which must be approved this year to replace one which expires at the end of 1979. The Higher Education Act is Ihe original legislation which establishes the fundamental implementation system for the entire federal student financial aid system including BEOG, the work-study program, the GSL program and the NDSL program.

Thus, when recommendations News Editor and further information were forwarded to Bunn’s office, the Vice President opted to re-open applications. The second search committee, headed by Physiology professor Barbara Howell, began its work in October. Association Vice President for Academic Affairs Claude E. Welch, who replaced Irving Spitzberg on an interim basis when the Dean resigned last year, did not apply for the full-time College post. The serach for a new. Dean of the Colleges is winding down. The names of two candidates have been forwarded to Vice President for Academic Affairs Ronald Bunn’s office. Bunn has invited Wilma Scott Heide and William Romey back to UB for second interviews. Heide has been a consultant and a visiting professor at various colleges and was formerly President of the National Organization for Women (NOW). Her field is inter-disciplinary sociology. Romey is currently Chairman of the Geology Department at St. Lawrence Resignation call University. The search committee, which is the second search for the same post, reduced the number of applicants from 70 to seven. Of the seven candidates who were interviewed, two of the. Instruction professor Gerald Rising and Urban Studies College Master Irv Johnson, were from this University. Neither Rising nor Johnson were recommended to Bunn as the best choice for a new, permanent Dean. Roadblocks The Dean of the Colleges is expected to be an increasingly important position as the Colleges battle for an integral role in the General Education plan and continue to fight for the right to grant distribution credit to approximately- 30 courses. previous search committee ran into The roadblocks when many of the selected applicants did Spitzberg, who resigned last August saying he felt that he had done all he could for the Colleges, became the first University administrator to publicly call for University President Robert L. Ketter’s departure. Citing,an “absence of leadership at this University,” the former Dean called upon Ketter to step down when his term expires in June, 1980. Spitzberg believes that Ketter’s “bad decisions,” many of which have adversely affected the Colleges, played an integral role in his own resignation. The former Dean told The Spectrum in February that many of the Colleges’ problems have been compounded by the President’s view of Buffalo as a traditional university. But it will still be the Ketter Administration that appoints a new Dean. Howell emphasized that her committee did no( interview the candidates solely. Committee members met with Bunn, College Masters, students and some Universilv deans Mus/c students, staff to render ‘asbestos blues’ for Ketter today News Editor 7 am seriously reconsidering my recent reappointment to the faculty of this University in view of the Administration's mishandling of the asbestos issue. I cannot in good conscience continue serving a University whose administration shows such a callous, money-oriented attitude toward a very real hazard to my students’ health. Music Professor Robert Hatten ” Robert Flatten, some of his colleagues and music students will bus their instruments over to the Amherst Campus today, and at 12 noon, begin to rehearse in ' University President Robert L. Ketter’s Capen Flail office. The peaceful demonstration has been organized to protest the existence of asbestos in the Music Department’s Baird Hall home and to call for its immediate removal. Asbestos has been linked to cancers of the lung, stomach, throat, colon and rectum. 700 signatures Since members of the New York Public Interest Research Group (NYPIRG) revealed the presence of asbestos in Baird Hall and charged that it posed an environmental health hazard, repeated efforts have been made to have the dangerous substance removed. Although one practice room ceiling was sealed with a spray sealant not approved by the Environmental Protection Agency and the University recently has conducted air samples in the building, no substantive remedial action has been taken. Hatten, who said that he has waited until other means of pressure were exhausted before helping students organize the demonstration, asserted, “We’re tired of the delay.” Armed with signatured of approximately TOO music students and faculty, the protesters hope to present University President Robert L. Ketter with the following petition; “We the undersigned of the Baird community are convinced that the continued presence of asbestos in the Baird Hall environment constitutes a deadly health hazard. We call for its immediate removal.” Almost three months after NYP1RG revealed asbestos in Baird Hall. University Director of Environmental Health and Safety Robert Hunt, ordered that air samples be taken during the Spring break. Results of those samples were due yesterday, however, both Hatten and NYPIRG officials believe the sampling is invalid.

He asserted that it is unsafe for students, who need to practice up to twenty hours per week, to continue using the small, cramped rehearsal rooms where flaking asbestos ceilings result in particles lingering in the air.

Becker. The device, more commonly known as “Dr. Becker’s little black box” is said to be the most efficient anti-crime device known. The invention consists of a casette player capable of simultaneously receiving, mixing and transmitting material from two different sources. While it is playing recorded music, it also transmits a series of spoken messages fed into the hox from an endless loop of specially prepared tape. Music and message are combined in such a way that the.music is consciously heard while the message emerges at such a low volume that it penetrates only the subconscious mind. Dr. Becker’s message to the subconscious, which repeats itself 9,000 times every hour is, “Be honest, do not steal.” The words are varied to “I am honest, I do not steal,” and “If 1 do steal, 1 will be caught and sent to jail.” The general message is the same.

As mandated by the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) and the National Association for Intercollegiate Athletics for Women (NAIAW) the two major governing bodies of college sports an athlete must be in “good academic standing” to remain eligible for competition. The definition of good standing however, is left the individual — — university or college. At UB, an individual must maintain a 2.0 grade point average each semester and complete at least 75 percent of the credit hours he registers for to remain in good standing. In addition, he must hold an overall average of at least 2.0. But tsdme cases have arisen that have suggested UB’s criteria are flawed. Chairman of the Faculty Senate Committee on Athletics (FSGA) story — following clause; ‘The Deans of Undergraduate Education and are Continuing Education authorized to enforce the above regulations.” But then Acting DUE Dean Walter Kunz said he did not think “good standing” was debatable according to Medige This year. Campus Editor John Medige recalled a which occurred several f4 ft Faculty Senate Chairman Newton Carver, after conferring with DUE Dean John Peradotto, agreed with Kunz’ interpretation, Medige said. “It seems to me,” Medige noted, “if you authorize someone to m enforce, you also authorize them -Korotkln John Medige Athletics Committee Chairman years ago - of a baseball player who was injured, and as a. result had to drop two classes. When he he was recovered, declared ineligible because he had not completed 75 percent of his credits the semester he was hurt, despite the fact that he had an academic perfect otherwise record. '-Sych cases prompted Medige's conimittee to investigate 'the possibility for appeal in the system. The definition of good standing that was passed on May 3, 1977 by the Senate appeared to leave room for appeal in the * not to enforce.” So the FSCA drafted the new definition of good standing, which allows thg , student to appeal to the DUE Scholastic Standards Committee “or other appropriate faculty committee to be restored good, standing to upon establishing to the satisfaction of the committee that the semester's inadequate 'pcrfofrhance was the result of unusual circumstances not likely to be .repeated, and that the student yfltin all probability complete his/hef" 'Course' of ., study.” The proposal that the FSCA to the Faculty Senate Executive Committee (FSEC) a month and a half ago asked that a submitted Buffalo sending 570 protesters to Managing Editor About 570 Buffalo students residents board will Washington-bound' buses tomorrow night to represent Buffalo in the fight against existing and U.S. projected nuclear power plants.

Ketter. Leavy, the Student Bar Association's summer representative to Sub Board I. Inc has asked Ketter to delay his decision on the Student Health Insurance Plan until another vote on the much fought-over abortion coverage can be squeezed out of the Sub Board board of directors. This second vote will probably come about, since Leavy is working with a new chairman and has aligned himself with the Sub Board reps that lost the original vote retaining the mandatory abortion College As a nutrition major at Buffalo State course, the and a teaching assistant for a UB by Nutrition Battle, I was upset by your article eating idea of not “Behind the Rosemary Warner, meat: The animals that merely live to die. (Monday, April 30, 1979) Nutrition, being a relatively new science, is particularly susceptible to fads and distortions and this is evident in the article. 1 would briefly like to clear up some of the incorrect statements made. Firstly, in regard to the number of essential amino acids the writer stated that there are four and, in fact, there are eight for human adults. Secondly, the foods listed as providing complete and incomplete proteins were somewhat incorrect. Meat, fish, eggs, milk, cheese and other diary — coverage. Perhaps Mr. Leavy, a former president of the Student Bar Associate 'i, found he could work closely with Law School officials in advocating student views. But he ought to learn that no one, least of all students, works with Robert Ketter. Ketter first makes students prove that they’re thoroughly informed, then sends them through all the procedural channels, then makes them produce evidence to back up their stand and then, history has shown us, he sits back and waits. During this waiting period, whatever furor has built up usually calms; the student officials who had pressured the President often move on to other projects or leave office; and political infighting weakens the students' stand as the evidence sits on Ketter's desk gathering dust. Quite frankly, Ketter is a master at frustrating students' advocates; in nine years as President, he has learned all the tricks. Since students usually call for action on Ketter's part reverse this, approve that, etc. delays always work to his advantage. To not decide is to decide against students. Underneath all this is this constant, year-to-year struggle to articulate and maintain a solid, coherent student stand. To appear divided, or hesitant or, worse yet, to change positions, is all that Ketter needs. He will then simply ignore the student side with the ever-ready refrain: "you don't even know what you want, how can I?" So, along comes Anthony Leavy, who brashly decides to take matters into his own hands and asks Ketter for a delay. If Mr. Leavy could see the smile on Ketter's face upon reading his letter perhaps he would stop and think about what he has done. He has asked the administration to help in policing a student proteins products are considered complete containing all the essential amino acids in proper proportion and vegetables, nuts, grains, and legumes are incomplete, providing some but not all of the essential amino acids. Vegetarians must learn how to properly balance the foods with incomplete proteins so as they may provide for adequate nutrition. One popular misconception in referring to the proposed snack bar is the idea behind organically — grown foods. First of all, foods grown organically are of no better nutritional value than foods gorwn with the use of fertilizers and pesticides. Second, it is impossilbe to monitor the farms so something labeled organic may very well not be. Plus, if our nation went organic the crop yield would decrease by at least 50 percent and hunger and malnutrition would result. Besides foods grown organically have contain been shown to more harmful microorganisms and always command a higher price tag. Finally, another misconception is the idea that chemicals are bad. Food additives are chemicals but so is everything, including people. Not all chemicals are harmful and not all food additives are harmful. In fact, many are quite beneficial, and without them, consumers could not enjoy the amount, variety or the wide distribution of many foods. Many foods contain natural toxicants which are indigenous to its molecular make ip and are actually potentially more harmful than mos' food additives. Today, there is nothing one can do that does not pose some sort of risk, no one food totally pure. This is why nutritionists continue to stress the idea of moderation and variety. b'llen B. Scherer — Marx who? To the Editor: In dispute. He has made it clear to Ketter that an issue student officials previously said was settled is no longer settled.

The article appeared in the Guest Opinion column and was entitled “On the Crisis of Students in Capitalist America” by Michael Schwartz. Mr. Schwartz seems to see education in America as a “Bourgeois tool” which is manipulated by a group of Capitalists conspiring to turn out mindless puppets. 1 feel sorry for anyone who seems so paranoid. It seems a shame that anyone should feel they have so little control over their lives, Mr. Schwartz sees himself as having been put on a rail and pushed down the track, only to be stopped at periodic points to have his future adjusted, by -— He has played some student officials against others and asked the real adversary in the student rights battle Ketter to help in the - — — process. He has given Ketter good reason to take a larger role in the entire Health Insurance dicision-making process next year. Leavy may naively think he is acting purely on the abortion to coverage issue; but he is dead wrong. Leavy has given public proof a man who doesn't need it that students should not be trusted with their own decisions in general. Leavy has struck a knife in the back'of the student rights battle at this University and asked Ketter to hold it there while he plays politics. No matter what issue, no matter what stand, the most damaging action a student official can take here is to ask Robert Ketter to step in and help settle things. Now, we are well aware that both sides of the bitterly-debated abortion coverage issue have resorted to questionable tactics. And we are more than aware of our own strong feelings in favor of the mandatory coverage. But Leavy’s amateurish move goes beyond all reasonable limits= and plays right into the hands of the real student problem at this university. We hope that the next time Mr. Leavy so righteously enters an issue that has already been decided, he thinks long and hard before running to Robert Ketter for help. — , — — advisors who read his test results and make sure he is on the right route. It is unfortunate that he feels he learned nothing in high school except to expect college to be a lot more “fun.” I’m not sure what it is that Mr. Schwartz expects from college but certainly he is not getting it. If I may I would like to suggest that if he is looking for something worthwhile perhaps he should try his books, or attend a lecture by a particularly good professor now and then. He might be surprised at how exciting and fun this learning process can actually be. Perhaps he should try walking into one of those big lecture halls in a beautiful building like Foster Hall some morning and stand there alone and think how far the world has come because of such places. I think he has lost sight of what education is all about. It’s learning, my friend, and if the acquisition of knowledge dAes nothing for you then perhaps you should stop wasting your money. Perhaps this might sound strange to Mr. Schwartz but as 1 come to the ending of my Freshman year I look back at the happiest year of my life. You see, I too learned nothing in high school. But I now see that for what it was a lack of effort on my part.

I haven’t lived in the shadow of some mythical football player, with a beautiful girlfriend, who kicks sand in my face everytime I cross campus. Mr. Schwartz suggests that for all those who feel as 1W does that they turn to the study of Marxism, to learn about how the world should be run. I too -recommend studying Marxist philosophy, although I doubt it will do Mr. Schwartz much good. You see Marxism takes a good deal ofeffort to master and for one who forgets why he sometimes studies so hard he would probably discard that philosophy as •not worth the effort. I must confess a bit of surprise in Mr. Schwartz’s suggestion, however. Perhaps he is not aware of the infamous “tracking” systems in Russia and China. While advisors here may suggest certain courses of study, one need only have a passing awareness of life in China to know that only a few select elitist students actually make it to universities at all, no less choose their courses of study. A quick study of Marxist culture in Russia and China should tell Mr. Schwartz that he does, indeed, enjoy a great deal of freedom of choice in his academic life. I have to believe that it is not the form of government which determines the capabilities of individuals, instead it is the capabilities of individuals in society which determine the value of Government. Perhaps mankind should give up its search for a and Utopian Society concentrate more on developing more perfect individuals. I suspect that the real “crises” for Mr. Schwartz has been his unwillingness to accept responsibility for his own life, and now he is looking for someone, or something, and he chooses to blame.

From the back row, these stem point-gathers ask the director, Marva Nabill; “What, I mean,. . . what possibly is your point?

Yes, their point about the every-day life of some peasant girl in the remote hinterlands of Iran would have been an updated and animated version of the Communist Manifesto, with Souza marching bands, ending with a scene, not of the obscure, ineffective “bourgeois individual,”-but with a whole group of women, smiling triumphantly (though battle-weary), tommy-guns on their back, with a little sign saying, unambiguously, “see how it can all work if we just get together!” So, when they are presented with an ambiguity, a tenuousness of the individual will, a. pprtrayal of What often does happen to a peasant woman who, It should be brought to the attention of the people of the Buffalo area that the State University of New York at Buffalo, UB, has again demonstrated troops!

They want to make sure that their point is unmistakeable and incontestable; in other words, it’s not- what the audience thinks, but what they think the audience must think, which is crucial. They can’t see that there were seeds pi revolt within this peasant woman. They can’t see, that as the woman was presented, she might very well have befen the first one to organize, when and if the social situation became radically altered; that it was probably this type of woman, who had rebelled in her small “insignificant” way, that first grasped the opportunity to take another, larger step.

Tullio Infantolino Housing department which prohibits directive_ is a prime example of the University catering to Albany and the strong downstate interests which have crippled the progress of the UB Amherst campus, the expansion of the Dental and Medical schools, and weakened the academic reputation as a whole. By forcing local students to commute the University has shrewdly found a means to increase its funds by refusing local students housing in favor of students from outside the local area. This allows the University, in effect, to charge two students tuition and one board whereas if the local student was allowed housing only one tuition charge and one board charge would result. The University’s motives for this obviously monetary decision are the result of the callous attitude of the State government and the Education department But for the University of Buffalo to stoop to such means'is inexcusable. The University has fought to gain back some community respect following the turbulence of the late sixties and now, for dubious reasons, has deliberately alienated the local community by forcing students from-the area to endure rigors of commuting twenty or thirty miles in the Buffalo area. Not only is commuting a time-consuming necessity to the vast majority of UB students, commuting presents a multitude of problems and hazards even when Buffalo’s renowned winters give way to sporadic sunshine. To deny local students the opportunity to take advantage of the University’s numerous housing, to which they • resources, particularly are rightly entitled, is a grossly insensitive and discriminatory practice. If the University decision is not reversed by local public outcry, Surely a challenge in the courts would be in order. If the University ever hopes to regain the respect ofathe community or the support of the local student majority, especially as alumni, a great change in attitude on the part of the University administration is urgently needed. The University’s failure to respond to the Love Canal situation was the first incidence of lack of committment to the Community. The Housing Restriction directive is but another indication of a disturbing trend of apathy towards the Niagara Frontier. David A. Lewis P.

Wis. �Stage show 'Plaza Suite' visited by Mark Cofta The work of Neil Simon is an institution among high school and community theaters. Simon’s plays are clear and refreshing; his humor |s well-placed and his believable, if simple, characters are enjoyable and seem effortlessly portrayed. The play’s great appeal lies in those snappy retorts and offhand quips he invents and uses so well, and it takes comic talent and timing to achieve maximum success. Yet Simon’s plays carry themselves. They amuse with little help from cast or director, and can be successfully entertaining merely by being staged. Unfortunately, his plays do not make actors or directors look good they have to do that by themselves. - The Student Theater Association for Genuine Entertainment is a small SA funded group. STAGE is dedicated to presenting popular theater, raw entertainment with no strings attached, and hopes to be an alternative to the more artistic yet obscure productions of the Theater Department and Center for Theater Research. It is not only for audiences, but also for actors and actresses frustrated by competing with department Fellows and members of the community for roles in productions. Like the College B Players, STAGE is entirely student-run. , For STAGE to produce a play by Neil Simon in its first year of existence was an event needing no mystic’s prediction. Nor were they wrong in doing so; Plaza Suite is a solid, popular play. In four performances last weekend at the Woldman Theater in Norton Hall, Plaza Suite received good-sized audiences; and they genuinely enjoyed themselves, laughing uproariously and applauding spontaneously. Three acts Plaza Suite is a comedy in three acts, each directed here by a different director and cast, each a play in itself taking place in Suite 719 of a posh New York hotel. (Simon later Used the same gimmick in California Suite, set in Los Angeles.) The first, "Visitor from Mamaroneck,” (directed by Theodore Tietjen and featuring Nadine Kolten and James Bruner) as a husband and wife confronting one another on their twenty-third anniversary. The husband, feeling life has passed him by, has an affair with his secretary (MerriLee Parr), and is coerced by his wife into telling. This piece was all Simon the actors and the directors doing a passable job, but Simon’s wit made it successful. The performances, however, were not really believable, the emotional level never changing from beginning to end. Act Three, “Visitor from Forest Hills,” is the famous bride-locked-in-the-bathroom situation. Lisa Rappaport directed Penny Ginsberg and Jeff Breitbart, the frantic parents, in a play that again succeeded mainly on Simon’s words. The classic scene occurs when the groom (Jim Davis) is called to the suite after all of the parents' frenzied efforts to draw their daughter (Diane O’Conner) out of the bathroom have failed. He casually strolls to the door and calls, "Hey Mimsey! Cool it!,” and she emerges. Penny Ginsberg, the mother, added some funny touches to an otherwise slow piece. Plaza Suite would have been a rather mundane walk-through if not for Act Two, “Visitor from Hollywood,” and specifically for Eileen Dugan,-who transcended the amateur level of the production and gave a splendid performance as a nervous housewife reunited with an old boyfriend turned famous Hollywood producer. Miss Dugan’s energy and timing provided a great lift in an otherwise flat evening of muddled, unbelievable portrayals. Jordan Auslander played the producer, who I could not decipher as being sincere about his old girlfriend or simply on the make, and Joel Snitzer directed. Attention to basics The production was well-organized. Lorraine Pizzolla and Michael Jablon created a serviceable set that was an attempt to go beyond the available materials and James McKinley did an admirable job of lighting a wide lecture half with rented, inadequate equipment. Neil Simon’s plays are no less demanding than'any other comedies simply written well enough to garner a laugh or two even if the acting is subpar. The cast of Plaza Suite, with the sole exception of Miss Dugan, did an acceptable job brightened by their enthusiasm, but tarnished by uneasiness on stage and a lack of believability caused by inadequate training and incomplete direction. Closer attention paid to basics and more time spent in production (Plaza Suite took only three weeksj will improve future productions. And there will be future productions. STAGE will survive to do better, I am sure. Dedication and enthusiasm are strong indeed, producer Barry Ort put up his own money for Plaza Suite and their, goals are realistic and valuable. As is often the case here, STAGE will only gain support after proving itself. Plaza Suite was an entertaining and positive step in the advancement of the arts especially that of students on campus. It is hoped that SA, the Theater Department, the media and the college community will give STAGE more attention and support in the years to come.

Blair Thbrton’s lead solos are smooth and may have an additional appeal in that they provide a break from the repetition although rhythmically he contributes to that facet of their music as well. He does some especially nice work in the title track, but any success in this song can more likely be attributed to the fact that part of it is a direct rip-off from “Communications Breakdown.” (I guess if you’re going to steal lines, it may as well be from the best.) "End of The Line” is one last light in this rather lackluster display of rock. It holds a pleasant and mellow vocal flow with a 12-string guitar accompaniment and brings with it a set of thoughtful lyrics that make the song one of the few on the LP that is actually moving. Internally, the group has experienced some changes over the years as they are now without their old lead guitarist and vocalist, Randy Bachman. Yet Thorton, who used to be the back-up guitarist, has taken the lead position adequately, with C.F. Turner switching from bass to guitar. Rob Bachman has remained constant in his role as drummer and percussionist for the group, and the bass vacancy has been filled by new member, Jim Clench who also does some vocals.

And the paper's Ute.—Joyce Howe — A poet for everyman' Richard Hugo speaks simply by Robert Basil I first got the chance to read Richard Hugo’s poetry on a trip out west last semester when I took a leave of absence from this beacon of higher learning. Except for the quicker onrush of cold once the autumn comes, Calgary, Alberta is very similar to the West Hugo describes, rhpasodfzes about and curses at in his poetry. So I was especially amazed and touched. A friend and I were heading for the mines and oilfields of the Northwest territories and were hitting lots of bars besides. The Indians and Eskimos and the other street people who scramble their minds in wine and Southern Comfort in the windblown cafes are really there, just as he wrote in his poem, "Letter to Welch From Browning.” And the despair along with perverse bits of self-mocking humor is alsq there. r■ One line really got to me. I came upon it in a YMCA at three in the morning. I had just fed a — — in a cruel and silly way, this kind of disappointed me, the poem being my favorite, a perfect depiction of the restlessness accompanying the rejection of despair, Hugo, whose work has earned him Guggenheim and Rockefeller grants, as well as the editorship of the Yale Younger Poets series, admitted in his prefatory remarks before an hour long reading that he is not the literary type. “I write from not from what I read,” he explained. His appearance certainly concurs. A baggy yellow buttpn shirt draped his enormous stomach and chest. Drab gray pants and scruffy loafers followed his lumbering lilt. He could have been a dock foreman at Bethlehem Steel. And his voice, thick and deep, reached for resonating tremelos as his clear and colloquial verses depict the forbearance dT the human spirit.. At the reading, he recited two poems from his latest work, "A Snapshot of the Auxiliary” and "Letter to Logan from MiHtown.” The latter is addressed to UB department faculty member and (owned poet John Logan. "It was terrible giving alcohol,” he told Logan. The 50 or so members the audience laughed. "We can drink a little iow.” He broke a pregnant grin, reaffirming that imeless love affair or affliction poets have with ? Bentley's premiere 'The Fall of the Amazons' Lorna Hill and David Earn!} star in the world premiere of Eric Bentley’s new play, “The Fall of the Amazons.’’ Directed by Saul Elkin, the play is set at the battle of Troy during a raid by Amazons, the apocryphal women warriors of ancient Greece. Achilles, while in self-imposed exile, falls in love with the Amazon Queen, Pentheselea. This presents a bit of a problem as Achilles is called upon tp defend Greece against the Amazons. General Ulysses (James McGuire) must win Achilles back into the service of King Agamemnon, a move that would spell the end of Amazonian designs for an all-female nation. Eric Bentley, who holds the prestigious Katharine Cornell chair, has premiered several of his plays here. “The Fall of the Amazons" continues this weekend and next, Thursday through Saturday at eight, Sunday at three, at the Center for Theater Research, 681 Main Street. - — — drinking.

At a postreading party, explained how he came across his form of writing. “The novel is much long for me. I wrote a mystery which has been rejected by numerous book publishers. If I create a taracter at page 29, I forget all about him by page )3.” The length of Hugo’s poetry, he says, is perfect.

One, it seems, died early arid miserably unfulfilled. The other committed suicide. I found |he conversation beautifully indicative of Hugo’s definitively., inarticulate and nohliterary manner. While the lesser wittily elaborated on the artistically poet appropriate way one knocked off, Hugo would scowl with that enormous furrowed forehead of his and utter, “Oh, I didn’t know he was so messed up.” When the other poet eagerly inquired, "Do you know how he died?” Hugo’s face would puff up, sjgh and patiently listen. Hugo’s poetical world is not one filled with poetic justice, iambic tetrameter and Etruscan allusionary asides, bqt one of grimy bar bathrooms, disenchanted Missoula, Montana winters and disengaged and near despairing everyday existence.

And this has been a fruitful approach.

Some lackey described Conger Beasley’s first novel, Hidalgo's Beard (Andrews and McMeel, $9.95), as “A rollicking fantasy in the best tradition of Nathanael (sic) West and Richard Brautigan.” Presumably, it was the same, anonymous person who called ft "a new kind of fiction hauntingly reflective of the age in which we live,” and coerced Peter S. Beagle into calling it "funny, haunting, and richly imaginative.” Fortunately, no one pays me to say great things about mediocre books. Hidalgo’s Beard, subtitled “A California Fantasy,” is narrated by Navvy, who reflects today's s fAlljieraii urge to escape life by refusing to leave the bottom of swimming pool in Palm Springs. After a few weeks, Navvy is developing gills, scales, and bug-out eyes, and communing with the rhapsodic sounds of insects hitting the water. His father, a martini-drinking, cigar-smoking, golf-playing middle-class symbol, drags him off to a doctor who wants him to undergo drug treatments to reverse the transformation. But NavVy meets a fellow amphibian 'Who sends him on a quest to discover the secret of communication with all creatures, living and dead, which is hidden in the beard of a statue of Hidalgo, a Mexican hero, in Ensenada. On his way he meets a variety of characters, all meant to be a variety of characters and worth little more than that phrase. Things aren’t quite realistic, as expected. With no hint of climax, Navvy finds a note in the beard and it is bfank. Beasley then Navvy's swimming pool, and implies that this was all’*a dream. In any case, his father has literally pulled the plug on his watery sanctuary. The next page was blank, so I assume that was the end. Hidalgo’s Beard is a miguided, or unguided, novel. Beasley took Navvy from his pool to Ensenada and back without accomplishing'anything. The fantasy label is appropriate, for the lack of a T) I resolve, tension and emotional involvement, characterized a lazy, offhand daydream. At times, a picturesque daydream, but nothing the reader need be subjected to. Navvy is a weak character. Fle’s a stick-figure, especially when he leaves his pool to go to Mexico. Both Beasley and Navvy become submerged in the telling losing all traces of a distinctive voice and the support ot the other characters is broken. A disembodied voice describes some unimportant characters and events, and neither the voice nor what it relates have any purpose. First-person narrative is very difficult, but the most oft-attempted style with beginners. It demands a consciousness and continuity that Beasley hasn’t the craft to pull off. Beasley seems to be attempting a "novel of the seventies;’-’ his message is lost, however, in a mess of "in" characters who have no meaning. He sets up a simple, stereotyped situation anyone would want to escape from, and spends the bulk of the novel taking Navvy to Mexico for no apparent purpose.

Not only does Hidalgo’s Beard not "rollick.," it is not anything new especially-not a new form of fiction. However, Beagle’s comment was acceptable, though the book’s essential meaningless far outweighs the occasional humorous, haunting, and imaginative scenes. Overall, I was left with the thought that Beasley had read novels by Brautigan, West, and Vonnegut, and decided he would write like that too. He concocted acceptable ingredients, but had neither the craft nor the approach to duplicate other authors’ successes.

As he regrettably proves, the key is not only to inhabit the space, but to utilize the possibilities. Mark Cofta A - THIS IS TRAVEL LESSON. Introducing “Air France-Vacancos” and All The Answers.

The music ranged from melodious love songs to fast-moving guitar and banjo tunes, to a little bit of the blues, to a lot more of the good ol’ stuff that ‘‘is on his first album.’’ You see, at a concert either you know the group or you don’t. If you have never heard them, then you go to listen to what your friends recommend. If you are a devoted fan, then you- wait for them to play your favorites. If you know them a bit but not that well, then you just have fewer favorites than the guy jumping up and down on the chair next to you. But a't the folk festival, it doesn’t matter. You come for the strumming, humming, plinking and planking. You come not just to listen to one type of music or one musician, but to celebrate in the festivity of folk music. And celebrate we did. �(0 » a. \JV\dv Old Boyfriends' is not enough Tewksbury's by Haryey Shapiro Old Boyfriends, director )oan Tewksbury's first effort, is both confusing and intriguing. It is a on dependent film characterization rather than theme or action. The plot of Old Boyfriends (written by Paul Schrader of Taxi fame) is somewhat Driver confused. Diane, a woman in her thirties, decides that if she can determine why her old flames loved her, she can love herself. So Diane sets out to track down her old boyfriends, hence the film’s title. Interestingly, she works backwards, first visiting her college fiance Jeff (Richard Jordan), then her high school beau Eric (John Belushi) 1 and finally her grade school love Louis, who we find has been killed in Vietnam. Undaunted, Diane settles for his younger brother Wayne (Keith Carradine) to fill her needs; we never do learn whether Diane comes to accept herself. Schrader (creator of the famous disturbed character of Travis Bickle) characterizes Diane as mentally unstable, -though we are never told what exactly is troubling her. Tewksbury relates the character’s problems in a rather unique way. When Diane visits Jeff, she assumes the film debut doubtful personality that he remembers; she becomes the educated woman who philosophizes on all subjects. Moving on to Eric, Diane adopts the seductive personality that Eric always thought she had, only to surprise him in the end. The best Tewksbury’s example of technique is found in the scenes with Louis' younger brother, Diane becomes the seventh grader adopting the mannerisms and speech of a young adolescent. Could’ve been better One of the film’s major errors is its failure to develop its main character. Though the film is Diane’s story, we learn little about her, other than that she is disturbed. Why she adopts the characteristics her former lovers expect f her is never fully explained. We do not know what is troubling her psyche, leaving us to guiss at the most crucial aspect of the plot. Frankly, both Schrader and Tewksbury could have done a lot better. While Diane is a mystery, her three old boyfriends are fully psychologically. developed Basically, all three of them are, to a degree, as mixed up as Diane, jeff and Eric are both going through the traumas of divorce caused, interestingly, by their wives leaving them in order to find fulfillment. Of all the characters, Jeff is the most stable. He knows what he wants out of life ("I always said I’d be filmmaker and I am,” he tells the accepts Diane raising a child responsibil alone without regret. He is the film’s one positive character ather, hand, is a tragic figure. He does not care why his wife left him.

The best Boyfriends moments occur in of Old situations only peripherally commodity. The acting is much like the film itself; Talia Shire’s portrayal of Diane is rather disappointing. While the actors playing the exceptional are boyfriends throughout Old Boyfriends, she seems confused about who she is playing. She tries but falls short. On the other hand, capturing the essence of Jeff, Jordan steals the show from Shire with a sensitive portrayal of Diane’s one true love. He injects some life into the otherwise listless scenes between Shire and himself. Belushi', as the lover who lives in the past, is effective playing the singing scenes for laughs. Beneath his exterior, we know ties the sadness behind the character. Finally, Carradine the disturbed as younger brother, performs well. Old Boyfriends is a film that accomplish many tries to objectives, succeeding in some, but failing to adequately resolve within Diane’s conflict the personality. And without this, how can we care?

His quest eventually leads him to a chic New York disco in Which this Prince of Darkness looks quite natural amidst all the vampy looking disco children. He puts the make on the invitingly promiscuous Cindy Sometime (“If ya like’em, ya ball ’em once and then its ‘adios muchacho’!”) (Susan St. James) who doubles as both model and disco queen, and after hustling under the spotlight to the beat of Alicia Bridges’ "I Love the Nightlife,” it’s back to her apartment where Drac gives her one dynamite hickey. Director Stan Dragoti’s Count has some good lines in this movie as he frequently sallies back and foolishly forth from being sentimental (In bed, he insists that Cindy not be honest but “be beautiful, be romantic, be mine!’’) to his moments of witticism, “With you it’s never a quickie always a longie!” Elsewhere, he laments to Renfield about just how much of a.lonely little Drac he’s been these past 750 years, tired of going'around dressed like a head waiter and weak from an all liquid diet. Frankly, much of the underlying humor in this spoof surfaces through the plight of this outdated, romanticist of a vampire trying to cope with the fast paced life and liberal values of one, of the world’s largest cities. — Batty pursuit Dracula’s eventual love affair with Miss Sometime is jeopardized her and by Jeffrey sometime-boyfriend, Rosenberg (Richard Benjamin), whose misguided attempts to put the Count back in his coffin for good provide some of the film’s high points. The humorously energetic Benjamin virtually outdoes himself with hiS portrayal bumbling of Rosenberg's endeavors to bag this bat. In one scene, he surprises the two lovers having dinner at an expensive restaurant and after firing three silver bullets into Dracula’s chest is told “Nice try Rosenberg but the three silver bulletts are for Werewolves!" After the occurrence of several unexplained crimes within the city limits (people being attacked by a strange, flying creature of the night and the break-in and robbery of a blood bank), a-New York City Police Captain (Dick Shawn) joins forces vwith Rosenberg and their batty pursuit of our hero leads to a slapstick, keystone cop chase through Central Park and the streets of New York^ Granted, this plot has a lot of imagination but seems to be a big step down the scale for many of the actors involved. (Dick Benjamin better hope that Neil Simon doesn’t get wind of this movie or he’ll never be cast in another one of his plays. For Arte Johnson after Laugh-In, where else is there to go?) Harhilton with plays a believable Count virtually no makeup but this spoof pays respect to the original although storyline in name only Drac does go around biting people and has to be inside his coffin by sunrise. will Basically, this flick probably do for Hamilton and company what they, no doubt, intended if to do, and that’s make people laugh in the process of but it making a few bucks won’t be all that successful. Money must have been something of an object here because it’s obvious that not much was spent in the film’s making. The special effects that one might expect in a type movie of this are contrived and inconsistent, unconvincing. (You can almost see the strings as the bat flies through the midnight air and the antics of the car chase are enough to make you want to race for the exits.) 1 won’t go as far as to imply that this version of Dracula sucks but if you can’t catch "Love at First Bite” before finals time be sure to watch for it on Home Box Office this summer. ' — — — — — �PIES 73 i s A Perfect Couple' is imperfect Altman by fails to take risks and the ultrqtraditional, wealthy, and hyper-effete family of Alex. While "Kcepin’ ‘Em Off The Streets” labor to create their own tunes and whose hipness finds room for an effeminate gay and a lesbian couple, the Theodopoulos family listens to "boring” classical music on an expensive stereo Theodopoulos which Papa pretends he’s conducting and whose personal life is as cold as a dead fish. Altman, apparently, wants to remind us of his hip Ross Chapman Robert Altman has proved that three can be less than one. In the last six months, he has, amazingly prolifity. Padded sterotypes A Perfect Couple centers on the romance of Alex (Paul Dooley), a middle-aged furniture dealer cowtowed by his rich Greek father and Sheila (Marta Heflin), a glum singer in a rock band. The story is basically boy meets girl, boy loses girl, boy gets reputation Dooley and Heflin A harmless but adequate pair girl. But Altman pads this a bit. In A Perfect Couple, Alex meets Sheila through a dating service; he loses her and gets hit on the head with a firepoker. Sheila feels remorse for doing this so Alex gets her back. But then he loses her again when Alex’s father calls her a whore, but he gets her back only to lose her once again when a gay guy gets in bed with them. However, his sister dies and his father won’t talk to him anymore so he goes back to Sheila. They have dinner in the Hollywood Bowl and the film ends. I’ve heard of variations on a theme but this is ridiculous. Altman’s direction in A Perfect Couple shows no more energy than his ambition does. Shot in seven weeks, the film looks it. It shows no thought and little effort. There’s none of the jumpy, bobbing pans that gave his best films a feeling of unbounded jspace. He uses closeups, dolly shots and zoom-ins in a lackadaisical way, imparting no more than the scene’s simply narrative point. He plays with his signatures but they don’t mean anything here. Like Nashville, he has people wander in and out of the film without explanation But in Nashville, this gave the sense of complex interconnections and of human space beyond the camera. In A Perfect Couple, it’s just a silly doodle. Labored sarcasm The Altman sarcasm shows up in his opposition of the rock band “Keepin’ ’Em Off The Streets” by lampooning straights. But 1 wish he’d lay off. I’m not fond of them either, but they have their reasons. By his own admission, A Perfect Couple was inaugurated for the purpose of showcasing "Keepin’ ’Em Off The Streets.” This pop group was organised in 1976 as a night club act including singers from the productions of "Hair,” “Godspell,” and "Jesus Christ Superstar." The lead singer of the band is Ted Neely who sang the part of Jesus in the film version of “Superstar." The group’s music is inoffensive and might be described as a collision of "Abba” with Mac.” The same might be said of the film’s acting: only adequate. Paul Dooley holds his end up well enough, although Marta Heflin often acts as if she were slipping into catatonia. Presently, Altman is directing a film called Health starring Glenda Jackson, Lauren Bacall, Carol Burnette and James Garner. Let’s hope that the title of his upcoming film is descriptive of his future condition. We miss him.

A Wedding, released last October, was a satire pointing out the absurdities of an upper-class wedding something whose absurdities are so obvious they hardly deserve two hours of biting exposition. As I wrote at the time, A Wedding "is the misdirecting of great talent to a petty subject, not unlike using heavy artillery on a housefly." Mercifully, I did not see Quintet. It opened and closed in February and was, by all accounts, a boring, ridiculous and pretensions failure. Now there’s A Perfect Couple, a harmless, little film which nonetheless merits my critical axe because Robert Altman has no business making harmless little films. He’s a director of rare brilliance. Instead of wasting himself on a marshmallow trilogy, he ought to be exerting himself to produce something of merit.

Next season, three Mark Russell programs will originate from Buffalo, with another two to be broadcast from Washington, D.C. by Tom Buchanan The voice of WNED Radio announcer Cary Smith shot from the monitor speakers, “Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. Tonight’s program is sponsored in part by a grant from the Bank of New York.” Mark Russell was cued, and quickly walked through the seated audience of old Buffalo locals and college students to his familiar Bicentennial piano, mounted on a round red white and blue stage. He stepped up to the circular platform, and while adjusting his microphone, said jokingly to the crowd that his show was "actually sponsored by the Hooker Chemical Company.” - . : The 300 people gathered in the Katfuine Cornell Theater to hear Russell humorously jab at everything connected with politics, loved hit swipe at Hooker Chemical as expected. For a quick three minutes, Russell warmed up his audience with a rare brand of Washington-based satire that has earned'him a reputation as the "king of political comedy.” The 28 minute and 50 second show is scheduled for broadcast to 125 Public Television stations around the According to Tedd Tramaloni, the program’s director, two million people would watch the program carried live by most PSC stations, and taped by others. — .s Enthusiasm Throughout the three-minute' warmup, Russell asked his audience to practice clapping on signal, for the opening of the show. On the first try-, there was a short time lag from ‘cue’ to the audience clap, Russell repeated hrs cue, but the applause came on too early. Several tries later, when the stage manager knew his audience had it right, Russell asked the ‘cue question,’ again, this time for real, "Do you watch much television?” responded The audience with enthusiastic applause, and the small stage went dark. Cary Smith again stepped up to the off-camera microphone, announcing the standard opening line... “Live from the State University of New York at it’s The Mark Russell Comedy Special.” The bright television lights came back on, revealing a smiling Mark Russell still standing at his piano, The middle-aged comedian launched right into his material, poking fun at President Carter and drawing a parallel between Nixon’s Watergate and what Russell termed ‘The Carter Peanutgate.” Russell followed the joke through to all for telecast Carter’s appointees, suggesting that perhaps Mondale would resigp under pressure in the fall "but nobody would notice until the next spring.” It was an old joke, but it worked. Russell made digs at Carter’s program to eliminate free parking privileges given to government workers and at the recent Harrisburg incident. “How many Pennsylvanians does it take to screw in a light, bulb?” asked Russell. Answer: none, the bulb goes on if it’s just held, so there’s no reason to screw it in. Continuing on the nuclear issue, Russell quipped that "if Harry Truman was alive, he would have dropped Pennsylvania on Japan.” Tune Smith During the Monday evening show, Russell accompanied himself at the piano for three songs. One tune took a look at Another Harrisburg. examined the possibility of forming a special police group to monitor thermostats in private homes. Russell's song had the elite police agency, termed The Thermostat Task Force (TTF), breaking into homes unannounced at T a.m. to make sure private thermostats were set under 65 degrees. A third song, entitled "The Oil Company Blues/’ was done in a strange mock blues, poking fun it oil executives afraid of Carter's proposed windfall tax plan. . .*• After singing the Oil Company song, Russell said a quick good night to his audience, and Cary Smith closed the show. After the theater emptied out, Russell stopped in ihe Ellicott hallway to talk with a few fans. Russell spoke of the time several years ago when a student in the same hall had put a crumpled note in his hand, th£n as he put it, "ran tike an assassin.” In his normal, deep voice with a Mr. Magoo laugh, Russell recalled the „nQ,te, “Don’t let the applause fool you, you’re a real shit head.” It didn't bother him. Several weeks later, Russell received a letter from that same student, apologizing for the delivery of, the first note, but repeating its message! "He was upset that I didn’t go deeper,” said Russell. “He wanted me to be more like Lenny Bruce.” There is no question, Mark Russell is not Lenny Bruce. Russell- is able to poke fun at everybody, without pitching a single political view of his own. He routinely jokes about Democrats, Republicans, Liberals, and Conservatives. Apparently, the Washington politicians Russell pokes fun at don’t mind. Many of those political personalities even attend his Washington, D.C. nightclub act, or read his daily syndicated column. According to Russell, "it’s all for fun.” A tape of the Russell program carried live last Monday will be replayed on WNED, Channel 17 this Saturday, May 5 at \ 6 p.m. Dance takes practice Criticism takes time Hi w' -a by Strangely, I've lived a bit of, every class, low, middle and high, being at different economic stages through the years.

In a series of pieces which often stretched the limits of virtuositv, there was a sureness of approach which allowed the audience to focus upon the music itself, without that feeling of watching a tightrope walker —. a feeling that often spoils the performing of a difficult piece. One of the main highlights of the evening was the premiere of a duet entitled "Cain,” composed by Christos Hatzis for performance by Jan Williams (percussionl, and Robert Dick (flute). The piece is programmatic in nature, dedicated to the memorv of those students of the Poly technical School of Athens killed by the fascist junta in a demonstration on the night of November 16, 1973. The piece attempts to render musically the violence of the event itself, the upon impressions it made witnesses, different and its subsequent distortion by the government all at the same time. The result is gripping; sometimes brutal, sometimes lender; a mysterious composition which is enhanced by, but never lavishly dependent upon, its extramusical which simple motifs are expanded and permuted), the textures are attractive and well-considered.

And now they have an album out simply titled The Roches, produced in "audio verite” by King Crimson electronic wizard Robert Fripp. It’s their first recording, attempt as a trio (Maggie and Terre cut an album as a duo about three years ago called Seductive Reasoning which virtually went unnoticed, and the unlikely mix of Folk and Fripp produces the most original and witty album heard on my turntable in quite a while. The Roches have a sense of humor, a lot of heart, toughness and the edge of vulnerability. In all hand-penned songs, they avoid the female singer/songwriter's whining complaints of unrequited love and, instead, attack the man,'woman dilemma with a knowingness born from having seen it all in their early twenties. Side One opens with "We,” a brief autobiographical sketch the three sisters sing in childlike harmony: “We are Maggie and Terre and Suzzy/Maggie and Terre and Suzzy Roche/ we don’t give out our ages / and we don’t give out our phone numbers.;. sometimes our voices give out / but not And if you’re our ages and our phone numbers . . you just not curious and won after that, well don’t know what you’re missing. Fripp has taken the Roches’ clear, rich vocals which soar together like a girls’ choir and accompanied them only with an occasional synthesizer, electric guitar, bass, triangle and shaker. Aware of the ppwer these vocals hold, he wisely chose to allow them (and the acoustic guitars) the room to reach. The Roches take full advantage. ... Maggie (the recognized leadet:.otJbe trio) is the most prolific and sardonic composer of the three, and she also possesses a voice that changes in register from a high to a distinctively deep alto. In the wryly plaintive “Damned Old Dog,” she is the rejected female appealing to her lover but not without some irony Limpin’ around in the moonlight/ coverin’ up what I did/ words decompose all around me/'nuisances I committed/ Do I wanna be a dog/ cut the heat out of me/ if I was a damned old dog/ I wouldn’t have to goddamn human be.” And in “the Married Men” (recorded by Phoebe Snow on her last album), she is the woman caught up in safe and noncommital affairs:'“I anrunot their main concern/ they are lonely too/ I am just an arrow passing through/ When they look into my eyes/ I know what to doI I make sure the words I say are true.” The album’s high point comes early with her “Hammond Song.’’ Undeniably the grabber, it is a ballad full of harmonies with Terre Roche’s flute-like voice singing lead. Fripp’s unobtrusive use of the synthesizer bitter shows off best here. The Roches sing of wandering waitresses wanting their jobs back, strawberry apricot pie, commuter trains, businessmen and other concerns “originating or widely used among the common people.” That’s what makes them folk. It is their penchant for unconventionality, from wardrobe to material to attitude, that makes them unique. They aren’t carbon copies of anyone. They’re the real thing. And it is their style, which blends intelligence with fun, that makes them artists which today’s popular music scene needs.

But he knew I knew Noverre, that a writer who knows Noverre might try to do some analyzing in his work, 'specially since he was young and might be thoughtful.

This helps the ballet to better itself.

For example r I am convinced that people in the rock business care little for incisive words about a singer because such criticism does little to promote their artists. The same is essentially true for motion pictures and for television. In fact, the lower the brow and the wider the appeal, the greater the hype ploy by the companies. The salesman are at your door with all sorts of new brushes, and improvements on older, models. And much of this is the audience’s fault because they want only to quote a writer about an event but refuse to use their intelligence to refute him or be taught by him. : • . �Small town paper wins Pulitzer for exposing Synanon by Jon Stewart Pacific News Service was buying Synanon some uncommon privileges terms in of government regulators and investigators often looking At first glance, it’s a classic David and sfory: The tiny, gutsy weekly crossing swords with an organization so powerful it has effectively muzzled the rest of the American press. Undeterred, the weekly Point Reyes fight, with an editorial staff of three, persists and triumphs where its big city brethern retreated in fear. It is rewarded with the Pulitzer Prize for public the other way. (When Mitchell recently complained that Synanon had no permits for the dump or landing strip, the organization flatly denied to the county that they had a dump or landing strip. An aeriel photo of the strip, printed in the light, hangs on the wall over Mitchell’s Goliath 1 11 bet I could name 20 different government investigators who have tried to It sounds heart-wanning, even romantic. In fact, it is acutely troubling. Why was it left to a country weekly with a circulation of 2,700 to moupt an investigative crusade against Synanon, when every journalist and government investigator in the West knew it was a potentially explosive potentially award-winning story? The story behind the story raises some sobering questions about the nature and process of gvernment regulation and journalistic will and ability. Three days after the first champagne cork popped at the Point Reyes Light on April 16 in celebration of the Pulitzer award, publishers David and Cathy Mitchell sal down with a reporter to talk at length about why they covered the Synanon story, how they covered it and why others with far more resources failed. “There are an incredible number of people in this county (Marin) who are scared to death that some night at midnight get a knock on the door from Synanon,” says tall, bearded Dave Mitchell, the paper’s editor, chief writer, photographer and janitor. “That’s why we did the story.” look into Synanon only to be pulled off it by their bosses,” said Mitchell. At one time there were a couple of Sheriff’s deputies who were secretly investigating Synanon, hoping the Sheriff wouldn t find out. That's how crazy it got.” when an ex-Synanon member was brutally beaten near the Synanon property last year, two reserve deputies, appointed by the Sheriff, were assigned to investigate. As the fight later revealed, they were both Synanon members themselves and had actually witnessed the beating. - Harassing Jurors In March, 1978, things seemed to come to a head with the issue of a county grand jury report that was highly critical of Synanon for alleged child mistreatment, amassing of weapons and business practices unbecoming The Mitchells were not even aware that the huge Synanon organization had its headquarters just eight miles from Point Reyes Station when they brought the weekly Light in August 1975. The occupies two nearby “ranches” consisting of living quarters, schools, work buildings and even a private dump and airstrip.

If they tried to play that game with us, they would be the big guy.” And there’s another size factor involved, says Mitchell. “As a paper becomes bigger it becomes more and more bureaucratic. The big dailies were terrified to do anything on Synanon without clearance from their legal departments.” Mitchell cites the story he ran last year attack on following the rattlesnake attorney Morantz, in which the Light was - — . • • —continued from page 5 to occupy a Federal building,” he commented.

It happens they’re by owned the Scripps organization,” a major newspaper chain. Cathy Mitchell believes the bureaucratic problems of large papers run even deeper than the legal departments. “Big dailies get dull; they find a formula that works for them and they won’t risk anything. Small weeklies,” she says, “are the places where you can be creative and daring.” The Point Reyes Light and its publishers may not be the typical small town weekly. The Mitchells have masters degrees in journalism from Stanford, good experience on urban dailies,and a capacity for outrage that could humble Ralph Nader. And Point Reyes 'Station is not the average middle American town. It’s a quaint coastal community of ranchers and counter-culture young people in one of American’s richest counties. Yet for all the exceptions, Dave, and Cathy Mitchell and the Point Reyes Light have given a new proof to the not-so-old cliche that small is beautiful, especially when big is timid. “With the Pulitzer, we may get another 100 subscribers,” said Mitchell. Humble Nader * charitable non-profit Inconsequential? The upshot, said San Francisco Chronicle reporter Ralph Craib, who nominated the Light for the Pulitzer, was that “Major news organizations were unwilling to risk the inevitable litigation certain to be pursued by an organization with a 48 member legal staff.” But if Synanon’s lawyers could muzzle the rest of the American press, how did the little Point Reyes Light manage to keep printing tough, hard-hitting stories week after week, month after month? and printed because of the paper’s legal staff. “It’s a problem that big papers have created for themselves,” he says. “They don’t have to be that bureaucratic. Bigness is the problem. Ironically, part of Synanon’s problem is the size of their legal staff.” “Nothing has ever happened to us,” said Cathy Mitchell no lawsuits, no threats of lawsuits, no legal demands for retractions. “We’ve sort of been in the eye of the “We tried to substantiate the things in the grand jury report and found that it had only scratched the surface,” said Mitchell. “But the reaction to the report was surprising. The county department heads attacked the report and the Aynanon members began harassing the grand jurors. The county emerged as an ally of Synanon against the grand jury.” Mitchell reserves his most bitter criticism for the state agency charged with regulating charitable foundations such as Synanon. founder Chuck Synanon Dederich, he claims, “defrauded a charity (Synanon) of some $1 million over several years.” The Attorney General’s office is now with “negotiating” Dederich’s attorneys for the return of the money. “If there is one arch-villain in this story an unindicted co-conspirator it’s the Large and wealthy Synanon complex a foundation. the first to name sources saying that Dederich had ordered the attatk. “The Los Angeles Times reporter, who’s a first rate reporter, called to see what we had and we told her.

Mitchell believes that some of the same factors that made the bureaucracy go soft on Synanon fear of lawsuits and the fear exposed of as being incompetent bureaucrats also held back the local metropolitan dailies. Several years earlier, the San Francisco Examiner, a HearsI paper, had paid out a $2.6 million settlement to Synanon following a lawsuit over a series of stories on the organization. With that sucess in pocket, Synanon’s powerful legal staff proceeded to file a slew of enormous lawsuits against other papers, TV networks and magazines that tried to write about the foundation. New Phojie 833-9444 -I Engineering waits on Gen Ed The School of Kngineering has not submitted a list of nominees for appointments to the General Education Committee, although Chairman of the Faculty Senate Newton Carver has requested the names of possible candidates, from all the various deans. Dean of the School of Engineering George Lee said he declined to name anyone for appointment consideration because he is unclear as to what the Committee is attempting to accomplish. Lee said that he will “wait and see” what direction the Committee takes before recommending someone from Engineering. The best choice to serve on the Committee, Lee said, is Chairman of the Department of Engineering Science Robert Springer. Springer was a member of the Committee but resigned last Fall. Lee expressed concern over the program’s impact on Engineering students, who are only allowed 24 elective credits under the rigidity of the Engineering curriculum. He i • aware that the report leaves room for modification of the program in order to accommodate departments with strict requirements for accreditation and thinks it will be done “in the long run.” But, Lee said, to have an Engineering professor on the Committee during these deliberations could be detrimental to the Committee’s program. Lee, who said he supports the principle of general education, noted that the Committee should examine the possibilities and decide oh the best plan without the influence of a heavy emphasis on credits. The presence of an Engineering professor on the Committee, he said, might lead to a coricentration on the credit issue. Lee said that, as far as he can discern now, the program is little more than using existing courses to fulfill distribution requirements. But Lee said that any Engineering professor wishing to join the Committee is welcome to.

Assistant Sports Editor Under the do-or-die pressure of single elimination intramural softball, June Swoon staged a last-inning comeback rally that propelled them over the Snakes and into the semifinals. Going into the*top of the seventh inning trailing 10-9, Swoon captain Scott Sessler drew a walk to lead off, and later advanced to third on a costly error by the Snakes’ second baseman. Tom Tiileli then reached on a single off Snake pitcher and captain Steve Trig, which scored Sessler from third and tied the contest. After a groundout, Scott Babbit popped out to the third basemaft, but some daring baserunning by Howie Grossman going to second and confusion in the infield allowed Billy Rivolo to tally the eventual game-winning run from third. Another single brought Grossman home with an insurance run, which was more than Swoon hurler Howy Lefkowitz needed to pick up another victory. Holding thi Snakes scoreless in the bottom of the seventh, he enabled June Swoon to come away with - — a 12-10 victory and a semifinal berth. P % ] The eight-run lead would be enough to hold up in any sport, with the fexception of basketball and softball, of course. Not demoralized at the prospect of making up such a large deficit, and confident in their ability, the Snakes snipped away at the lead; and with Trig holding the Swoon hitters down, they finally caught up and passed the Swoon in the bottom of the fifth. A two-run double by Gerry Green scored the Snakes’ first two runs in the second. Green himself crossed home on Trig’s subsequent single. Following a third-inning run, the Snakes had cut the Swoon lead down to half, and trailed 8-4 entering the fifth. With their momentum shifting into full ,gear, they staged a two-cut, five-run rally that had the sideline watchers staring in the Swoon fielders committed three errors to blow ' the big early lead. Behind 9-8, it was the Swoon’s turn to tesf Us comeback talents, and they did not waste time, catching up almost immediately. Dave Sherman's who had single in the sixth brought in Lefkowitz gotten on through a two-base error by the shortstop to knot the count at nine. Another error by the Swoon, this one a dropped pop-up. put opposing pitcher Trig on second. A ground out then moved him to third, and a long sacrifice fly to left by Mark Golubow brought hint in to break the tie. Trig soon changed his status from hero to goat, following the Swoon’s three runs in the last inning that clinched the win. The Snakes had the opportunity to catch up for the last time in the bottom of the seventh, but a pair of sparkling plays by SwS'on third baseman Sherman crushed the i c • Spalcesl hw. ■> mu 'JIB".'' # at H ; * ' - - For the Snakes it was a disheartening loss, as they had furiously fought back from an 8-0 first inning deficit to take a 9-8 lead in the fifth. “Even Guidry had a shaky start,’’ explained Trig after allowing a host of walks and hits in the Swoon’s first at-bat. Trig exhibited a lack of control from the start, talking the first three batters he faced.

In the first round of the Upstate Rugby Union International Tournament, UB drew a strong Syracuse squad, and wound up on the losing end of a 24—6 score. The Turtle;’ Scott Masse opened the scoring with a 60-yard jaunt off an intercepted Syracuse pass, and kicker Joe Kalczynski converted on the try, giving UB a short-lived 6—0 lead. Syracuse bounced back to score 24 unanswered points and win the game. Facing elimination in the second round, UB demolished the Brockport Old Boys by running up an impressive 39-0 final tally. Kevin Burke, Tim Fabozzi, Paul McCarthy (two) and Steve Day (two) scored UB’s tries, while Kalczynski added 15 points on six conversions / _.j and one penalty kick. In the final game, played on Saturday, the Turtles defeated a tenacious Rochester Aardvark team in a tight battle, 19-18. UB scored consistent!/in the first half, and carried a 19—0 advantage into the second segment. But Rochester fought back, surging for 18 points before Buffalo knew what had hit them. Still, 18 points was one short of Buffalo’s score, and the Mad Turtles advanced one step, into/he finals of the consolation round with Kingston. In the final, the awesome Kingston team stopped the Mad Turtle offense and came out on top, 4-0. Several times UB drove deep into Kingston territory, only to commit mental errors, including penalties, which gave them no hope of recovering in time for a late comeback. The Mad Turtles close their season this weekend with a home game tomorrow against the Genessee Creamers, and the finale with Buffalo State on Sunday. Both games are at EIBcott Field and begin at I p.m. The Mad Turtles personally invite all to witness their antics. | Center for Career Programs | Lawyers Assistant Program ADELPHI UNIVERSITY { Garden City.

NEW YORK ' ICC No. MC 2934 �I -;v <• « > V — Bowling Royals strike out after hot start in nationals The bowling Royals recently completed another successful year by taking sixth place in the national tournament held this past weekend in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Coach Jane Poland jotted down her thoughts, strategies and mistakes during the excursion, the majority of which are summarized below. The qualifying process began in Ithaca, N.Y. in February where we defeated 18 teams in a New York State Regional tournament and earned a trip to Boston in and came away with an all-time tournament four-game record of 3801 pins or a 950 team average! Cindy Coburn also broke the all-time tournament record with an 829/207 average. Her games were 226, 167, 201,235. Life was great when we finished at 11:30 p.m. and were on top of the 12 other teams after the first eight hours of competition that day. Mistake Then I made what 1 think was a crucial mistake. 1 insisted that the team arise at 6:30 the next morning to take part in the Pabst Brewery tour at 8 a.m. As it was explained to the coaches, Pabst was our host and we should show our appreciation and attend the tour. The bowling schedule was so full that this was the only time the officials could schedule the tour. So being good sports, we six schools were: Erie Community College. Georgia Tech, Penn Slate, and Hillsborough Community College of Florida. At this point we felt very confident because we were into the finals where the Baker System of scoring was going to be used. We were very tired after having arisen at 6:30 a.m. both Thursday and Friday, the 12 games on the different scoring format on Friday evening were the beginning of our downfall. By 10:30 that night, we tell from a record setting first place team to sixth out of the six March to the Sectional Qualifiers. teams. After getting off to a very bad First to sixth start in Boston due to poor lane At this point 1 realized my conditions, we came on the last mistake in having made the team six games to soundly defeat the Eastern schools and win our spot as one of 12 teams in the nation to compete in the Nationals. It was the second straight year that we had earned the trip to Milwaukee. • In the meantime, Sue Fulton went showed her expertise by placing afternoon we it Tha.t made second out of 24 in Tuscon, through another four hours of • Arizona early in April at the bowling and in the process broke National Individual two more all-time National • Tournament records.

Should University President Robert L. Ketter decide to seek re-appointment next fall, he may be evaluated under an entirely new set of procedures to be announced next week as part of a special SUNY study. Critical changes recommended by a subcommittee of the SUNY Council of Presidents will be submitted to Chancellor Clifton R. Wharton May 7, then to the SUNY Board of Trustees for final approval. The new procedures the will eliminate five-member constituency-based committee that would have evaluated /Ketier's performance over the last five years. That committee includes representatives from the Faculty Senate, Student Senate, Professional Staff Senate, the Administration and the College Council. Council assumes role The College Council will conduct the local evaluation under the Wednesday Vol. 29, No. 86 / SUNY at Buffalo / 2 May 1979 accrediting team. The President 'will prepare his own “statement of stewardship and conditions of the campus” which for the first time will be a public document. The final change is that the time period for completing the evaluation will be shortened from one year to a semester. The College Council, as it did under the old guidelines, will submit its recommendation on denial or affirmation of re-appointment; but the new procedures will eliminate the constituency-based committee upon which the Council’s decision was previously based. The proposed changes come as the current procedures wind down their first five-year cycle, meaning that all SUNY Presidents serving at the time of their adoption in 1974 have either gone through the evaluation and won re-appointment, resigned or retired. No president has ever been denied re-appointment. Trustees request According to SUNY Campus Liason Murray Block, next fall would be an ideal time to implement any changes in the procedures since it —continued on pm 2— The SpiCT m Puts ‘skunk on table’ Gen Ed Committee addresses authority, course load concerns by Kathleen McDonough Campus Editor The General Education Committee, meeting in the shadow of a looming October deadline, a hoped to fill month-long gap in membership at its Monday meeting. The meeting also shed light on the relationship between the Committee and its overseers, somewhat easing tensions and initiating strategies for the future of a General Education program at UB. Based on the administrators who originally cieated the Committee, it would be expected to report to Chairman of the Faculty Senate Newton Carver, Vice President for Academic Affairs Ronald F. Bunn and Vice President for Health Sciences F. Carter Pannill. Although Bunn ' said the three have responsibility for appointing new members to Committee, the the exact heirarchy seemed vague. Not discriminatory The underlying question is whether the Dean of Undergraduate Education (DUE) John Peradotto will command authority of all undergraduate including education Sciences or be a member of a Pannill-Bunn proposed Council of Undergraduate Education. Peradotto would report directly to University President Robert L. Ketter if he were solely responsible for undergraduate education, but if the proposed Council is approved by Ketter, he would report to the two Vice Presidents. Ketter has not yet announced his decision. After acknowledging the difficulty of answfering to “three masters,” Pannill decided to “put the skunk on the table.” Pannill said himself, Carver and Bunn have received the Gen Ed Committee’s program simultaneously, noting that he did not see the program until it was presented to the Faculty Senate’s Executive Committee in March. Pannill left in the middle of that to presentation, unwilling comment on a program he had not read. Former Chairman of the Genera) Education Committee Norman Baker assured Pannill that the delay “was not discriminatory.” The Committee, he said, was pressed for time and short of secretarial help necessary for preparing drafts of the program. But Baker said he would have reported on an interim basis, “had anybody asked me to.” Pannill explained that he was not challenging the integrity of the Committee, and that he found the program to be acceptable. Pannill emphasized that he wanted news of the program’s progress to reach all three, but said “If you want it to be a Faculty Senate Committee, that’s fine.” At this point, Bunn suggested that the channels' of communication be kept open between the offices of the two Vice Presidents and the Faculty Senate. He mentioned that he has a “liason” on the Committee who informed of him keeps proceedings and suggested that Pannill do the same. In addition, Bunn said, thfe three should meet regularly with the new, as yet unnamed. Chairman of the General Education Committee. Minutes of the Committee’s proceedings will also be sent to each of the .three after every meeting. Accreditation confrontation The meeting then turned to Inside: Higher ed. power plays— P. 5 / Karen Silkwood case—P. 9 / what emerged as a sensitive subject during the Faculty Senate’s discussion of the program easing course requirements for academic units which have strict accreditation requirements. At this University, the School of and most Engineering the Health departments in Sciences must conform to set guidelines in order to be accredited by a national board. These disciplines have expressed concern that the present setup eleven courses spread across six areas outside a knowledge student’s major would eat up a student’s electives or even cut into the required courses. Committee member Norman Solkoff emphasized that the program is “broad enough to handle” these concerns. The program can accomplish two goals, he said, accommodating the needs of units with strict requirements and, at the same time, “not compromising the aims of General Education.” The School which has been most vocal in its opposition to the Gen Ed requirements is the - - - Middle-east scholars— P. 12 / School of Engineering. Chairman of Engineering Sciences Robert Springer, who resigned from the Fall over Committee last differences, philosophical highlighted some of these constraints. Springer said that a recent accrediting team criticized the School for not mandating enough Currently, technical courses. Springer said, the UB School offers more room for electives (24 credit hours), thin most across the country. He noted that individual department chaingen within the School agree that there is no room for General Education courses and tend to view the academic quality of the program as relatively low. Financial implications Bunn questioned Springer as to whether Engineering could make room for additional courses if the quality of a Gen Ed program was Springer considered high. responded, “If people felt we .then could find more room another question. there would be ' .. —continued on page Superstar event— P, 16 14— I �f The Spectrum Evaluation —r marks the beginning of another cycle.

Block said the Trustees requested in February that the re-appointment procedures be studied. Wharton brought the matter to the SUNY Council of Presidents, out of which came the sub-committee chaired by Robert MacVitte, President at Geneseo State. The Spectrum learned of the subcommittee’s recommendation from Steve Allinger, President of the Student Association of the University. State The new procedures may mean nothing if Ketter elects to retire or resign, although another SUNY committee, headed by Block, is currently looking into changes in the search procedures for new SUNY presidents. The revised evaluation procedures, if adopted by the Trustees, will suddenly leave faculty, staff and students with no formalized role in the evaluation process. The College Council will now have the responsibility of gauging campus sentiment, and is sure to survey all three groups in some manner; but the elimination of the constituency-based committee throws the potential impact of faculty, staff and student sentiment into doubt. Questionnaire in doubt , The Creative Division requires someone with knowledge of layout, design, and graphics. Some production skills are expected as well.

THE UKRAINIAN STUDENT ClUB OF SUNYAB presents Hie Second Annual ECHOS »f UKRAINE A Concert of UKRAINIAN S0N6S AND DANCES The Faculty Senate’s committee on Presidential Evaluation Procedures has been working all year on methods of gauging faculty opinion regarding Ketter. Included in the committee’s work has been an extensive faculty questionnaire designed to aid Senate Chairman Newton Carver in his evaluation of the President’s performance. Carver told The Spectrum Monday that he was not surprised by the proposed changes, although he had had no direct word from Albany on their status. He said the new procedures will not prove disruptive to the Senate committee’s work, which he said also revolved around the possibility that the University will be searching for a new president next year. SUNY’s search procedures are similar to the newly-proposed evaluation procedures, Carver noted, in that they require the faculty to influence the College Council in some unprescribed manner. Thus, Carver was confident that the Senate committee could adjust to its new set of constraints. Committee Chairman Jacob Hyman at the request of the Senate Executive Committee said that his group has just begun to look into the search process, with a second meeting on the topic scheduled for next week. “I’m afraid that we’re going to have to enlarge the scope of that meeting,” Hyman observed. , M — - Amicable relationships Stressing that he could not speak for the committee, Hyman suggested that the faculty questionnaire, as well as other methods like personal meetings with groups of faculty, might stilt be used in the evaluation of Ketter depending on the College Council’s chosen course. “It may be possible that the procedures we recommend will fit, in some way, into the Council’s role,” Hyman observed. Carver expressed similar sentiments and noted that the changed procedures will require “effective and amicable” relationships between the faculty and the Council. Student governments had also been planning for a possible re-appointment try by Ketter and have agreed to form a joint committee to gauge student sentiment on Ketter. Its work is much less advanced than the faculty’s. The President has declared that he will decide on his future in September of next year. He has refused to speak with The Spectrum on matters of re-appointment. Political delicacies Block said that the Trustees asked for a study of the evaluation procedures because the process had gone through a five-year cycle. But another source within SUNY said that some pressure has come from the Council of Presidents on the matter. The source also said that a common sentiment in SUNY is that the current process is too long and too disruptive to the campus, since it weaves delicate political threadings between the President and various constituencies that must evaluate him. Block also said that the connection between the evaluation of SUNY Presidents and the re-appointment decision by the Trustees has been overemphasized in many quarters. Noting that the Trustees can remove a SUNY President at any time, Block stressed that the five year period between evaluations should not be thought of as a term and that the evaluation does not necessarily lead to a yes-no decision for the Trustees..

May 6 and show the government that we won't live with it. 1> LETHAL WASTE: An average nuclear power plant produces about 200,000 grams of Plutonium each year. One gram of this substance could cause several million lung cancers. Plutonium remains deadly for hundreds of thousands of years. Scientists have yet to discover any way tp store it for that long. There’s no practical way to dispose of it, or to neutralize it. 2. RADIOACTIVE EMISSIONS; Nuclear power plants routinely release small amounts of radioactive materials into the environment. These radioisotopes include Barium-Lanthanium 140, Strontium 89 and 90, Iodine 131, 133 and 135,Cesium 134, 137 and 144, Cobalt 58 and 60, Manganese 54, Zinc 65, Xenon 133, 135, 137 and 138, and Krypton, 83, 85, 87, 88 and 89. All of these are harmful.potentially fatal to humans and other life. They remain active for long periods of time and accumulate in the environment. They accumulate in the bodies of any animal exposed to them 3 DO-IT-YOURSELF ATOMIC BOMBS: Any competent physicist could, build an atomic bomb with, the Plutonium from nuclear power plants. Experts say it’s easier to steal Plutonium than to rob a bank. It is impossible to adequately safeguard the tons of Plutonium being produced at hundreds of nuclear facilities in America and being shipped across the country to special storage'sites.' is impossib/e to guard anything vfor half a million years. The Atomic Energy Commission has admitted that its safeguards were inadequate, and asked for more money -for better security. At the time. Congress appropriated the money, and President Ford vetoed it. He said we couldn’t afford to provide-Hie necessary security 4. ACCIDENTS: The nuclear chain reactions in atomic power plants generate tremendous heat, which produces steam that drives the turbines that produce electricity. If the chain reaction gets out of control which could happen in a split second the heat increases to the point where it can cause a steam explosion capable of shattering die containment structure, releasing enough radioactivity to kill thousands of people. An Emergency Core Cooling System is supposed to prevent disaster if the main cooling system fails. A model was tested six times. Each time it failed. And, as we saw at Harrisburg, the gauges don’t always work. 5. EMERGENCY EVACUATION: If a serious radioactive release occurred, everyone within a 100-mile radius might have to be evacuated within 12 hours. Nuclear power plants are located within a few miles of New York, Boston, Los Angeles and other American y cities. There is way these cities could be evacuated, within 12 hours. -5* 6. INSURANCE: The worst possible nuclear power plant accident, according to a 1965 AEC report, could cause $22.4 billion property damage, and billions more in personal injury claims. Even with government subsidies, nuclear power plants are insured for only $560 million liability. No insurance company in the world could afford to write a policy covering the total potential damage. So the victims of a nuclear disaster would have to pay for most of:the damages. 7. HUMAN ERROR; Nuclear power plants have to be designed, built, operated and maintained perfectly. They have to be protected perfectly. The slightest imperfection could cause disaster. No human being has ever been perfect. Nothing has ever been perfect, as the world witnessed at Harrisburg. 8. THE FUEL SHORTAGE: There’s only so much uranium in the world. Enriched uranium, needed to fuel nuclear reactors, is in even shorter supply. Which means every fantastically expensive nuclear power plant we build will be obsolete before long. The “breeder reactors” planned to replace them will be even more dangerous, and so expensive that it’s doubtful die power they produce will ever be iommercialfy feasible. > 9. A REAL ENERGY CRISIS: The government and the power companies plan to have nuclear power plants producing 50 percent of America’s electricity by the end of this century. Then if a serious accident ever occurred, wiping out a whole city, everyone would demand that the nuclear power plant in their area be shut down immediately. And then we’d really have an energy crisis. 1G. CONTROL OF OUR LIVES: A commitment to nuclear power locks us into a centralized energy system, run by the handful of huge corporations that can afford the tremendous investment required for a nuclear reactor. Not only will they control our energy system with the same public-be-damned attitude demonstrated in the last “energy crisis" but they’ll control more and more of our lives. The need for security will take precedence over all else. Decisions will be too complex for anyone outside the “nuclear priesthood” to understand. There’ll be no turning back, because the lethal wastes produced today will be wjth us just about forever. i ~ Why march against nuclear power? > . — — — — WHAT CAN WE DO ABOUT IT? Plenty. There are many safe, economical, limitless alternatives to nuclear energy solar power, wind power; thermal gradient power, geothermal powef-and others, t all the money now being thrown away on nuclear power were devoted to research on alternative energy sources, they could be made practical long before we run out of coal and petroleum. - ■ ’War Without Winners' details U. S. /Soviet arms race The U.S.-Soviet arms race continues to spiral despite the seven year old Strategic Arms Limitations Talks (SALT) which were designed to put a cap on our competition with the Russiafts for bigger and better nuclear weapons. Lack of meaningful concessions however, have l$d to an arms buildup that could destroy our civilization with less than 30 minutes’ warning. War Without Winners, a film to be screened today at noon and at 7:30 p.m., documents and provides an historical context for the present-day nuclear arsenals of both the U.S. and Soviet Union. Featuring extenisve quotes from former U.S. government officials, military leaders and scientific advisors (one of them former President. Dwight D.

The money, which could become available by June, will bolster the budgets for busing and work study, and will offset an unexpected charge for sewer service by the town of Amherst. The supplemental budget is intended to correct funding oversights in the regular State Budget. UB had asked for more busing money in the regular budget, but it was not allocated. Acting Executive Vice President Charles Fogel said the Legislature is likely to approve the additional $258,000 in the Supplemental Budget, where the constraints are not so rigid. “They're sometimes told they have to come in With a certain sized (state) budget," Fogel 'explained, but that is> not .tht.case with the supplemental budget. • — — — — HEAR 0 ISRAEL — For gems from the with i I SAFELY SHIP YOUR LUGGAGE I Jewish Bible Phone 875-4265 •DOWNSTATE TRUCKING The only trucking company on campus to be back for the fourth consecutive time.

To the Editor If this University had enough common sense to give the undergraduate dean the tools he needs to lead his division, then we would not have this snarling of authority lines that is wasting a lot of time for the General Education committee. And if the school had a President with any sense of what leadership is, then it would not tumble through a year of critical academic changes with no idea of who has authority over what in the undergraduate division. All kinds of critical academic decisions have been made or mUniade this year and, if one theme emerges, it is the incompetence of Robert Ketter, who, when he is not avoiding decisions entirely (and not off on vacations or hiatuses), merely gathers the evidence and waits .waits waits. We have long since tired of waiting for Robert Ketter. We are now tired of waiting for the rest of the campus to do something about a man who doesn’t even seem to care if he leaves a university hanging. Come to Washington Come to Washington, if not for a future diffused of its nuolear land mines, then for a present free from government and corporate deception; if not for your hometown and its immediate safety, then for your next home, or the one after that, or the home that someday will stand in the fallout zone no of a nuclear plant; if not for the people of Harrisburg what the tells who now live with government you matter the haunting fear of cancer, then for young Karen Silkwood, gave her no matter what the government tells you who to the of the nuclear terrifying power industry; if life battle not for the power we should one day draw from the sun, then for the energy we ought to be saving today with sensible adjustments in our wanton lifestyles; if not for the fear of the ultimate .nuclear catastrophe, then for the security of an energy future compatible with the earth we live on; if not for yourself and your political conscience, then for your generation struggling to develop its own way of looking at the World; if not for the truth, then for the lies, if not for the words then for the music; if not to shout, then to listen; if not for victory, then for the sheer exhilaration of a battle against the incaluclable danger of nuclear power. So come to Washington for an old-fashioned rally with a new twist the first national trial of the nuclear industry and a chance to sit on the jury under the warmth of the — — — — — spring sun. The issue raised by the march this Sunday, in Washington D.C., is the survival of the human race. Similar to the protests against atomic testing in the late 1950’s and the early 1960’s. Those protests, in which I took part, created a climate of opinion in which the new President John F. Kennedy was able in 1963 to sign a treaty with the Soviet Union banning the testing of nuclear weapons in the atmosphere. It was a beginning. Now, we who go to Washington represent a rapidly growing body of opinion in the world which will reward politicians who come out against nuclear power, who plan to eliminate the nuclear power industry, and who are willing to promote the alternatives: renewable energy sources like the sun and wind. A man came up to me ahd told me why he is joining his first demonstration this weekend: his six-month old son was born without an and his survival is immunological system problematic. “You have to do something!” My friend is Convinced that it is possible his son’s condition is due to the irresponsible release of radio-activity into the atmosphere. Perhaps so. Who can say with certainty? How can you trace backwards damage to the chromosomes to its origins in radioactivity? Few of us have, any longer, confidence in the paid scientific opinion, either in government or in corporations, which tries to reassure us that the radiation released from these power plants is “acceptable”, and without affect on the human body. Can my friend ignore his son’s condition? Could you? We read in the newspaper that President Eisenhower, in the early 1950’s, ordered his officials to lie to the American public about the affects of radiation released by the atomic tests in Utah at that time. Shall we impeach President Eisenhower now? What is the significance of learning this about a pastPresident? Who can we trust? Will we continue to trust paid scientists, lackeys of the corporations and the state? It goes against common sense. What we are all slowly learning is.that we must take back to ourselves the power over our lives that has been centralized in the hands of the corporations and the state. Our survival depends on our taking this power back When President Carter visited the control room of the Harrisburg reactor, on April J, what was the purpose of his visit? To protect the safety of the people? Or to reassure us all about the plant. But now if we read the transcripts of the Nuclear Regulatory-Commission (NRC) we find that the President had no reasons whatsoever to reassure anybody about that plant, at that time. His only purpose was to help build confidence in the nuclear power industry, and not in concerning himself in the safety of the people. The movement against nuclea/ power, a movement of the late 1970’s, speaks to new ' - , conditions: a rapid disintegration of public confidence in the statements and reassurances of any public officials. Watergate and the Vietnam War began this disintegration of public confidence. The Harrisburg accident helped it along. The movement is broader than it is perceived.

Businas Manager Bill Flnkelstein — bureaucracy that includes both government and corporation leaders who profit from the continued expansion of the corporate state and who are, apparently, uninterested in their own survival and that of their progeny. They must be caught up in a death trip, one that draws us all into its morbid consequences. It is in our interests to oppose this “death trip”; to try to understand how these individuals have managed to get into such commanding positions of power over us, and to remove them as soon as possible. But who can take their place? This ia not an issue of the USA versus the Soviet Union, because the Soviet Union is just as rapidly building nuclear power plants and deceiving their own public about the consequences. So we are part of a world-wide movement of people trapped by the bureaucratic the first manifestation of a powers in all countries world-wide movement against the tyranny of centralized power. And, as people join this movement, which seeks to return the decision-making back into the hands of all the people, they will,not tolerate power within themovement to be centralized into the hands of a few experts, either. There can be no “experts” because we all must become “experts” about our own survival. No one knows better than you what you must do to survive. A new form of social change is emerging with the anti-nuclear movement. 1 learned how it worked when I went to New Hampshire in 1977 and joined with several thousand others to occupy and stop the construction of the Seabrook nuclear reactor. This new form is a decentralized decision-making structure in which the participants in the movement band together in small, trusting groups, and take responsibility for the movement into their own hands. We are all so unfamiliar with taking power into our own hands that we can all invent reasons why it won’t work. But it must, and it can work. Each of us within our small group, our “affinity group” is responsible for what we do; and our group is responsible for what it decides to do together And, all these “affinity groups” are responsible, collectively, for what they all choose to do. The emphasis here is on the word “choose”. Thingk about it. This was the missing idea in the 1960’s, as I remember those hectic years. We lacked the confidence that we could take responsibility for the movement, ourselves, so we abandoned it to Those who appointed themselves its leaders, with results that were disastrous. Our goals were subverted, it seems, by the form of our movement. This will not — happen again. .The goal of this 1970’s movement is survival, and the method is to have everyone take responsibility on their own for the movement. Our experience with highly centralized bureaucratic structures of control, either in corporate America or in Communist Russia, shows us what we must avoid; centralization accompanied by the abandonment of individual responsibility for what happens. It is not easy to take back responsibility from those who enjoy assuming it for us all. There will be resistance. And, how do ,we decentralize power? There are many problems, and we will have to seek the solutions as we act. The goal of decentralization must be accompanied by the method of decentralization of our own movement. This ir the goal, this is the way. > Charles A.

Republication of any matter herein without the express consent of the Editor-in-Chief is strictly . forbidden. 'm ■ ’ In response to “On the Crisis of Students in Capitalist America” our friend Michael Schwartz should recognize that alot of the things he accuses our society of are also true of Marxist societies such asThe Soviet Union, only more so. Nobody in this society decides anything for us, they only advise us. What’s wrong with giving advise to a person that needs it? You could say that we were “tracked” in a certain .direction after our IQ test were examined, but that’s better than being pushed. Soviet children take similar tests at similar ages. Only, after their tests are examined, they aie told where to go and what to do. There’s no choice between doctor and garbageman. What’s wrong with going to a public institution? In our society the choice is there. In Soviet society there is no choice. The only institution is a public one. The only ones who can gd to these institutions are those who can prove to the state that they are worthy of higher education. Incidently, some students are never able to prove themselves worthy. Soviet students have been known to commit suipide because of the immense pressure that these tests put on them. The reason for the immense pressure is that the students realize that the results of the test are going to affect them for the rest of their lives. They are yet too young to handle it. In this society we have the chance to wait until we are mature before we make decisions (notice I said “we make decisions”) that will affect us for the rest of our lives. For many upon arriving at college the question is “What is my major going to be and what courses will 1 take?” As you said there are different,ways to solve the problem- We can ask advisors or pick a major that will make us rich, happy or our parents happy. The choice is there, in Soviet society it’s not. The state decides. Those students in Soviet society who manage to make it through college can go to graduate school (if* the state approves). In comparison to the number we send that number is small. Something else you seem to find unsettling about our capitalistic society is the educational “ratrace”. We can either continue it or stop and get a jpb of some sort. You say the job may be boring, with unacceptable hours and unsatisfactory pay, maybe so. But in this society there are unions to represent the interest of the workers. Where are the unions in Marxist societies? Why do you worry so much about how much money the Rockefellers, Kennedys and Hunts have? Is it jealousy? By the way those rich capitalists weren’t all born rich. They all came from the Olduvi Gorge like the rest of us. Maybe the goal of bourgeoise idealogy is to make profits and not a better world. That seems to be the result anyway. Even the Marxist seem to see it that wa'y. Otherwise, why would they come to buy capitalist technology?

That member Sandmeier, it appears that IRCB still does not spoke to a Greyhound chartering agent, and it was acknowledge the basic points made against it in that agent who said IRCB never contacted Greyhound terminal. In Mr. Sandmeier’s editorial, he relation to events that happened on April 15. FACT 1: Not one attempt on IRCB’s part to explicitly states that “IRCB deals with the agents of contact the thirteen stranded students at the Queens the company (Greyhound)” but it was the Mall was made in order to explain to them what Greyhound agent himself who said IRCB never actually happened. Why hasn’t this been done? One contacted the terminal! Explain? gets the feeling that if my editorial, printed, on FACT 4: This all excludes the fact that IRCB Monday (April 23), never was printed, IRCB would does not have, nor has made any mention of, any have let the ihcident go as if nothing happened. The kind of back-up mechanism in case of something thirteen students paid $35 for services arranged by going wrong as on April 15 whether it is something that went wrong due to their actions or IRCB, and when those services are provided in a somebody elses. IRCB has taken the responsibility of mixed up fashion, those students deserve an explanation whether it is IRCB’s fault or not. Yet, providing a reduced economic way of rendering no explanation was made to those thirteen members. transportation services to its members. This is fine. Why? But what is needed behind this effort is good FACT 2: In Mr. Sandmeier’s editorial he still management and planning; which includes taking makes no mention of what went wrong on April 15; into consideration the possibility of something going he goes only so far to say that "perhaps Greyhound’s wrong during the process. Events that happened on chartering agents did not inform the drivers of the April 15 to those thirteen fee-paying IRC members demonstrates that IRCB has no such consideration in correct roiite.” You mean IRCiB still does not know what happened oh April 15 concerning the stranding mind. Why? Again, this shows how mismanaged and uncoordinated IRCB is when it comes time to take of those U/B students at the Queens Mall??!! THEY STILL DON’T KNOW?? Did IRCB call Greyhound care of their members. FACT 5: Mr.Sandmeier made mention in his terminal in N.Y.C. to find out what went wrong? Isn’t this owed to its members? Mr. Sandmeier editorial that IRCB should be praised for obtaining makes no mention of an IRCB investigation in his another Greyhound bus for Saturday (April 7) when bad weather prevented transportation from leaving editorial. Why? s FACT 3: IRCB is under the misinterpretation of Buffalo the day before. Implicit in Mr. Sandmeier’s believing that only the bus driver, who came 2V4 statement is that if IRCB faded to do this, those U/B hours after the IRCB designated time of 1 p.m. on students who paid for its services would have been April 15, told U/B students, and their family stranded in Buffalo for Easter vacation. All 1 can say members, that IRCB never contacted Greyhound. Mr. Sandmeier is that if IRCB did not provide The bus driver wasn’t the only one.

Why didn’t I RGB write an editorial to those thirteen students explaining to them (let alone apologizing to them) what had happened, regardless of who was right or who was wrong? The failure of IRCB to do this can lead one only to conclude how ifreSjJohsible,* Uncaring, and unorganized IRCB is and how messy it is to deal with. IRCB had not brought themselves to examine what happened on April 15 through investigations of their own. A call to Greyhound terminal in N.Y.C. to find out where the problem started would be in order; but, Mr. Sandmeier, you and company have not done so or if you have - you have not told especially to those thirteen neglected anybody, students who were at the Queens Mall on April 15 who deserve some type of explanation from you and the organization you represent. < - Peter Cohen »ui *800,000 ftovJt' To TKi Two of 'J%..■ ulfM |«u Second try on divestment To the Editor . TV TV*nk TVt for them, you and your organization might not have 3 lived very long. S Mr. Sandmeier pleaded that nobody should i It would appear that a generous amount of outcry has been generated regarding a letter which I sent to The Spectrum two weeks ago, The letter, dealt with divestment of S.U.N.Y. funds. Since then, I have been quite graciously apprized of my ill-informed, naive and elite views on the subject. So it is with some apprehension that I take one more opportunity to address (hopefully) less naive, less the subject in a elite and more well-informed manner. Where should one turn for a well informed opinion on divestment? Where better than to South Africa and Chief Gatsha Buthelezi. Chief Butheleze is the elected Chief Minister of Kwazulu and founder and chairman of Inkatha, the National Cultural Liberation Movement whose first bulletin was seized by the police in 1977. His credentials as a nationalist leader are impeccable. He has referred to his white government as being “unschooled Boers who joined hands with the scum of Europe to behave with crass stupidity.’' (Not exactly a strong endorsement of the current government.) Yet this smsame leader begs U.S. business not to cease doing business in his country. He states, “Foreign investment creates jobs. Jobs bring money to the blacks.. money means power. And working in industry also gives the black man the training and experience that he will need to assume his rightful place in our country just as he did in yours.” “I do not, however, favor foreign investment on any terms. We want foreign investors who observe . — the Sullivan Code, and who work for economic and political change.” U.S. industry observes the Sullivan ~ Code. True, wages ate low compared to U.S. and European standards. However, South African workers still earn several times the salary that blacks make in black ruled countries that lack substantial U.S. investment. And the wage situation will and has improved. From 1970 to 1975, household income of blacks in the Johannesburg area rose 118%. White income rose 50%. Between 1975 and 1980, national black per capita income will rise 30%. That of whites, 7.3%. people and the spirit of freedom which dwells inside them. It would also be more of an impact to these regimes if the sanctions were to exceed the non-exchange of ambassadors.

No conduct code would mean no concern for black worker’s wages, education, job advancement indeed no hope for power for blacks, possibilities. short of revolution. As peace loving, compassionate people, we wouldn’t advocate this course of action... would rve? In short, it would appear to me that to follow a course of divestment would be to kill the South African worker in an effort to save him. Regarding my charge of selective morality; the charge still stands effectively unrefuted. To quote one letter, “one cannot pragmatically initiate and implement economic boycotts against all countries guilty of human rights violations.” There must be maximum effort directed towards those displaying the most blatant forms of oppression. (?) What this means is that one’s personal ideology and beliefs will dictate his actions in a discriminating matter, therefore, selective morality. I would only renew my call for sanctions against all repressive regimes who do not even accord the right of religion and property and who operate Gulags and labor camps for the expressed purpose that they should become burial grounds for both the USSR? And with the divestment outcry, shouldn’t there be an accompanying chorus as regards Communist China? Here we have U.S. companies entering into business contracts with a country whose own officials admit that between 5-10% of their people suffer “the dictatorship of the proletariat.’’(Labor American corporations have been largely responsible for these improvements, as they pay more and offer better working conditions. Local companies have to follow suit to be competitive in the labor market. Black workers in S. Africa have two choices. One is to work for U.S. industry thereby receiving increasing wages and advancement possibilities which leads to increasing power via use of the Sullivan code. The other is to work for industries of nations who will move into S. Africa to fill the gap created by the U.S. departure. This would be industry . believe that Idi Amin had spent evenings crying himself to sleep for lack of U.S. ambassadors.) Mr. Haettenschwiller, you list a sampling of countries which you feel “excell in oppression.” Its quite interesting to note that each of these countries are either “rightist” governments or American allies. So tell me, in terms of human rights, are citizens of Pinochet’s Chile more abused than citizens of Castro’s Cuba? Do South Koreans suffer more abuse than the residents of North Korea? Are people living within the borders of Israel subjected to more oppression than the people in the . Camps.) Yet where is the outcry? I have yet to see at either Squire Hall or on the newscasts, any manifestations of opposition to doing business with • China. Or Russia. Or Cuba. If there have been such demonstrations by the people who marched for divestment, I would apologize for inferring that there weren’t, and would request that next time, more advance publicity be accorded them. if there (jave not been such demonstrations, I would paraphrase my previous question and request that some honest soul searching be done. Does your fight for divestment arise from a concern for world-wide human rights and the bettering of the world, or from ideological bias? Thomas F. Clark . -A �» Cl Teenage Pregnancy: problems, new help. by Jessica Salles She ran up to the Albany with her notebook, desk reception as any 15-year-old might. “Do you know anything about geometry?” she asked. She had the look of any fair-faced, curious-eyed teen, one who should encounter the many wonders faced by adolescents. But she’s not just ‘any’ adolescent. She’s six months pregnant, and a resident of the Community Maternity Services Home. In a recent New York Times interview, U.S. Secretary of Health, Education, and Welfare Joseph A. Califano called teenage pregnancy “one of the most serious and complex social problems facing our nation — today.” By the age of 16, more than 20 percent of all American girls have engaged in sexual intercourse, according to HEW statistics. By the age of 19, close to 50 percent have had sex. Planned Parenthood Federation of America claims that more than one million teenage girls become pregnant in the U.S. each year. Of these, they claim, about 600,000 choose to have their babies, accounting for 21 percent of the nation’s births. Studies by the National Center for Health Statistics show a trend toward increasing births to girls age 14 and younger. The birth rate for the 14 to 17 year old group has remained constant, while the birth rate for all other has declined age groups significantly. According to Dr. Adele Hofmann, director of the adolescent care unit at New York University’s Bellevue Medical Center, young girls become they because feel helpless and hopelqss. ‘They have no real sense of their role in life and they suspect nobody cares about them. They turn to a baby as a source of identity and purpose.” To a teenager, she said, that translates into instant adulthood, an instant pregnant role and instant femininity. Sister Maureen Joyce, director of Community Maternity Services, views the increasing acceptance of single parenthood, divorce, and marital separation as partly responsible for what Planned Parenthood calls an “epidemic” of teenage girls having babies.

Many have not yet come to grips with the fact that they’re pregnant.” Sister Maureen said it is not in the nature of an adolescent to plan ahead, and that this is why many teens become pregnant. Restraint, she said, demands thinking and' planning. She also noted that many young girls the regard obtaining of contraceptives as “planning to be promiscuous.” “Most of the girls have considered abortion, but some were against it and others were frightened by family coercion,” she said. “A high percentage have already had pregnancies before which were terminated by abortions.” The “multiple pregnancy” syndrome is just another indication that pregnancy is the symptom, not the problem, she said. “The home is not intended to be a hideaway,” said the Sister. “Many of the girls come from small towns where people constantly advised, coerced, and questioned them. Here, they can get away from all the pulling and find some objectivity.” “The home” is composed of 11 girls living- together in a completely de-institutionalized atmosphere. Partially funded by the Catholic Diocese of Albany, the residential program is run completely by the girls. Each is responsible for the preparation of one meal every week, and the daily household chores are divided among them. Most of the girls range in age from 13 to 19. Because of the great demand for other space, pregnant teenagers in the program are housed with foster families. “The foster family ' arrangement extremely beneficial to the girls, because it gives them an idea of what a harmonious, stable family is like,” said Sister Maureen. “Most of the girls have never been part of a happy family. They’ve all had bad experiences of some sort.” Dropping out The residential program at the -she explained, home, de-emphasizes the pregnancy and focuses on how the girl perceives herself. “She must be willing to help herself by entering a counseling situation, interacting with others going to school, and learning how to be happy with herself,” she said. Sister Maureen said the main reason girls drop out of high school is pregnancy. The girls in the program either attend a local school or college, or study with the aid of private tutors. Most of the girls enter the residential-program in their sixth month of pregnancy, and of approximately 65 girls in the program each year, about half keep their babies. ‘These girls are usually more self-sufficient and stable to begin with,” Sister Maureen said. She stressed that it is tjie girls the to teach important seriousness of their situation. —continued on page 15 �/ m i nil OPENING LINES: As the battle lines are drawn for the fight against the expansion of the nuclear industry, another smaller yet crucial skirmish is developing along the sidelines. Concerned scientists and agrieved citizens are seeking damages and modified standards over supposedly safe federal radiation standards. Over the last ten years, new radiation health research and, the abnormal rate of cancer incidence cropping up among nuclear facility workers have demonstrated that the federal standards are far too lax. Although nuclear industry and some regulatory commission spokesmen vehemently deny it, it is clear that workers and residents surrounding nuclear plants and handling facilities have been exposed to an unacceptable : risk. 1• J* On another front, the federal government faces billions in dollars of damage suits from U.S. Army personnel exposed to enormous levels of radioactivity at atomic blast test sites during the late 40’s and through the fifties.

Silkwood case may set precedent for nuke lawsuits by Howard Kohn Editor's note: Howard Kohn is currently on leave as an investigative reporter for Rolling Stone and is writing a book on the Karen Silkwood case. OKLAHOMA CITY Neighbors of the Three Mile Island nuclear reactor could be the beneficiaries of a landmark lawsuit currently on trial in a federal courtroom here. The $11.5 million damage suit, filed by the estate of nuclear worker Karen Silkwood, is trying to prove that low levels of radiation previously thought safe actually are a long-term health hazard. succeeds, Ifthe suit Pennsylvanians contaminated by the Three Mile Island accident could use this as a precedent for legal action of their own. A chain reaction of such suits may end up costing the nuclear industry millions of dollars. Kerr-McGee Corporation of Oklahoma City is accused of negligence in the plutonium of Karen contamination Silkwood’s apartment in early November 1974. An unknown culprit, it was discovered after her death, had taken a microscopic amount of the radioactive material from a Kerr-McGee nuclear fuel plant and apparently sprinkled it on a package of bologna and cheese in Silkwood’s refrigerator. Silkwood handled the package and ate a bologna-and-cheese sandwich before she discovered the poisoning. A week later, she died in a one-car crash (not caused the contamination). An by autopsy revealed small traces of plutonium in her lungs and liver. Silkwood’s death is part of a larger unresolved mystery. She was killed while on her way to give a New York Times reporter documentation of safety and qualify control problems at the factory. Kerr-McGee The documents were never recovered, but private investigators later found evidence that another car had forced her off the road and that Kerr-McGee operatives had retrieved the documents from her wrecked car. The primary issue in the lawsuit, however, is whether the plutonium in Silkwood’s body was enough to cause future health problems if she had lived. Kerr-McGee’s position is that the 16 nano-curies found in her body is less than half the 40 nano-curies the Nuclear Regulatory Commission allows for nuclear workers, and therefore it is not liable for damages. Experts for the Silkwood side have testified otherwise. Dr. John Gofman, formerly with the Atomic Energy Commission and the first scientist to manufacture plutonium in a lab, told the jury that “Silkwood was married to lung cancer it was an inevitable — of Pittsburgh researcher. Mancuso Johnson’s studies of residents in found that workers at a nuclear suburban Denver, where the soil facility in Hanford, Washington showed high concentrations of have been dying of cancer at a radiation, produced results similar higher than normal rate even to Mancuso’s. Johnson found when exposed to one-tenth of the large increases in the number of bone marrow cancers, leukemias radiation the NRC permits. Mancuso’s study is the first of and lung cancers, types usually its kind in the U.S., and when it associated with radiation. Preliminary studies by Dr. 1977, the was released in Department of Energy cut off Ernest Stemglass, of an area Mancuso’s funding. Nevertheless, downwind from a Connecticut Bible fundamentalists who wanted to prevent the teaching of evolution. As with Scopes, the ramifications of the Silkwood case may eventually overpower the details. Washington environmentalist Bob Alvarez, leader of a campaign to restore Mancuso’s government grant, was among the first to make the analogy. “The Scopes trial helped break through the lingering American prejudice against science and ushered an era when in government has come to rely heavily on scientists,” Alvarez says. “The Silkwood case also involves a question of scientific suppression, but this time it’s the government and the scientific establishment that’s doing the suppressing. What we’re doing is placing our trust in the common sense of a jury of everyday non-scientific people.” the chief Jerry Spence, Silkwood lawyer, agrees with the but thinks the comparison Silkwood case , is even more important. “Both cases deal with mankind as a species. Scopes talked about how the species evolved; we’re talking about whether the species is going to survive.” process.” Gofman said his calculations show that the 28-year-old worker’s dose was almost two times the amount needed to “guarantee” cancer. Dr. Karl Morgan, known as the “father of health physics” for his role in establishing the profession and the federal nuclear safety code, agreed. He said that evidence from the past 10 years shows that federal standards for plutonium are 480 times too lenient and that all nuclear standards should be tightened. Both Gofman §nd Morgan based their testimony, in part, on a government-sponsored study by Dr, Thomas Mancuso, a University - the chairman of a prestigious National Academy of Sciences committee recently told a he committee congressional supported Mancuso’s suggestion that the permissible amounts of radiation for workers be reduced ten fold. j Mancuso is expected to take the stand later in the trial, along with Dr. Carl Johnson, the county health director for the Denver area, where the Rocky Flats nuclear weapons plant is located. On two separate occasions, in and 1969, fires at the facility burned through the air filter and system spewed radioactivity into the atmosphere. power plant which has had several small radiation leaks, point to a similar pattern. The Silkwood case, however, is the first legal challenge to the nuclear health standards. As a result, the Oklahoma City courtroom has become the center of national attention. Reporters from New York, Washington and Los Angeles have been attending the trial, which started March 6, and some have begun calling it “the Scopes trial of the Seventies.” John Scopes was a Tennessee school teacher and the focus of a famous 1925 legal tug-of-war between Darwinian scientists and A verdict from the six-person Oklahoma jury is expected about mid-May. If the jury finds Kerr-McGee guilty of negligence, Silkwood would become the first officially recognized victim of low level radiation in the United States. On April 13 Spence asked to increase the potential damages from $11.5 to $70 million, a motion U.S. Judge Frank Theis deferred until the case is ready for the jury. Spence took this dramatic step after testimony from Allen Valentine, the man who set up Kerr-McGee’s health and safety program at the plant where Silkwood worked. Valentine said he based the company’s health manual on a 1959 government report, but admitted he censored out all plutonium’s references to cancer-causing properties. “Isn’t it true that you concealed this fact from your workers, because Kerr-vlcGee was afraid no one would be willjng to work in the pljtnt if you told the truth?” Spence demanded. Valentine refused to answer, but under further cross-examination, he conceded that “no level of radiation is absolutely safe." �e Analysis U.S. energy outlook Can conservation replace nuclear power?

Do we have the option of continuing to rely on oil and gas for space heating? We do, if we take action to improve the energy efficiency of buildings; their capacity to retain heat and the efficiency of their heating systems. The possibilities for such improvements are enormous. by Marc H. Ross and Robert H. Williams Energy Secretary James R. Schlesinger has expressed the widely shared view that Americans have no choice but to move ahead with the expansion of nuclear power as an alternative to foreign oil. “It’s a question of trading Iran off against Three Mile Island,” he told a House subcommittee. But thaEaigument fails to make sense. Nuclear energy cannot, adequately substitute for imported oil because it is available only as electricity. And electricity is an inherently ineffective and difficult substitute for most of the energy demand now met by oil and gas. V This is evidenced by the fact that the U.S. now has an excess generating capacity for electricity because, in response to rising electricity prices, electricity demand has increased in recent years only half as fast as it did historically. This excess capacity will be with us for years because of the additional electrical power projects now under construction. The current electrical generating capacity is almost 40 percent greater than peak electrical demand about twice the reserve margin that utilities require. By contrast, domestic oil and gas production is 30 percent short of oil and gas demand. A sound strategy toward eliminating the oil and gas shortfall would therefore take a direction other than the current push toward more electricity through nuclear power. A far more effective course exists: reduction of energy demand through greater energy efficiency. — Enormous possibilities That this alternative is cheaper and more effective can be seen from a comparison of the two options in three major markets projected for nuclear power: heating of building space, automotive transportation and the electricity needed for industry. British workers unsettled by ever-slumping economy V* by Robbie Cohen / **... a lorry strike, a dock strike, a bread strike, you gotta be a superman to survive.” An appraisal of the dismal economic situation in modern day England, or the lines of a current Kinks hit? Well, it’s both. The inexorable decline of the once mighty British Empire is something that has been going on for a long time now; most people need not be reminded of it, especially Britons themselves. Britain, overburdened a 'superhuman by commitment during World War Two, found itself an and devastated nation at the «k>sfr tbf global conflict in 1945 Although its economy was in shambles, it a stunnthg revitalization during the late 40’s and early 50’s, due to the Fuel conservation It is cost-effective to construct new buildings that require only 20 to 25 percent as much energy per year for space heating as comparable existing buildings. Existing buildings can also be made far more energy-efficient, as was shown by researchers at Princeton University who introduced some fuel conservation measures to a townhouse in the neighboring community of Twin Rivers and thereby reduced annual fuel requirements for space heating by two-thirds. The house the Princeton team chose already had storm windows and ceiling and wall insulation. The new measures included extensive caulking to stop unwanted air flow, insulation around the perimeter of the basement, and installation of indoor shutters to be placed over large windows at night. An ambitious yet practical goal for the nation, one that would be cheaper than increasing either electricity or oil and gas supplies, would be to pursue building energy efficiency improvements so as to reduce oil and gas use for space heating of the average dwelling unit by 50 percent by 1985. So doing would save the nation at least 2Vi million barrels of oil per day. This potential savings is over 70 percent of what we have been buying from Arab countries and Iran. It is also the energy equivalent to the nuclear fuel that would be consumed by the 80 large new nuclear power plants scheduled loTiecome operational by 1985. A similar cost-benefit picture emerges in the second major market foreseen for nuclear power: automobile transportation. Since automobiles account for 30 percent of U.S. oil consumption, the electric car would seem to be an ideal technology for reducing our dependence on imported oil. Yet electric cars cannot be expected to have a major impact on oil consumption. Wilhoutmajor technological emergency transfusion ofbillions of dollars in Marshall Plan Aid. The problems of nationalization, worker declining productivity and persistant labor strife, however, have lowered Britain’s economy from second in the world on the Gross National Product Index to sixth on the roster behind the People’s Republic of China. The once vast military presence of the world-spanning Royal Navy no longer flies the Union Jack over the seven seas, and the sun sets very easily on a British empire that has lost nearly all of its colonial possessions. The Briish have adopted an almost fatalistic attitude to the long slide. It’s as if the dark developments are uncontrollable. As Britain is gripped by one economic mishap and strike after another, with a strike emptying food shop shelves of bread, a lorry truck/strike crippling commerce, a coal miners strike causing sporadic power outages throughout the island nation and the plummeting of the pound sterling in relation to other world currencies, the English turn more and more inward. They drown their sorrows and economic woes in Guinness and bitters at the national social institution, the pub, and in the wild screams of the ever popular sport, football. , the government warnings that unreasonable, wage hikes will make a bad economic situation even worse, but apparently they are unimpressed.

Here nuclear power is much better matched to demand than it is in space heating and automotive transportation. Industrial demand for electricity typically does not vary too much with the time of day or the time of year. However, even here, an important fuel conservation alternative looks more attractive. It is cogeneration; the generation of electricity as a byproduct of the production of steam for industrial processes. Electricity through cogeneration is typically more economical than electricity produced at a central station power plant. Savings occur because capital costs can be iiared between electricity and steam production and because substantial fuel savings are involved. In cogeneration only about half as much fuel is needed to produce a kilowatt hour of electricity (beyond what is needed to produce steam) as is required at a central station power plant. rULUA ill I A> MEDICINE FORUM ' v roughs electric batteries will remain so heavy and costly that vehicles if they come into wide use at all will be used 'or short trips. rgy efficiency improvements in fuel-fired cars can be far more in reducing oil dependence than a shift to electric cars.

The major potential for cogeneration exists in the chemical industry, the paper and pulp, petroleum refining, food processing and steel industries. When cogeneration technologies are selected that produce electricity for export beyond the plant, the greatest cost and energy savings occur. If such technologies are encouraged, then by the year 2000 cogeneration could provide s much electricity as would be produced by about 200 large nuclear power plants. Prior to the Three Mile Island incident official projections envisioned that about this many new nuclear power plants Would be built in the U.S. between now and the year 2000. Our discussion here of space heating, auto transportation and industrial electricity only illustrates the possibilities for improved energy efficiency in the U.S. economy. They show not only that further nuclear power growth is unnecessary for dealing with our energy problem but also that efforts aimed at improving energy efficiency can be far more effective. Tfie obstacles to conservation are not technological or economic, but rather institutional. For instance, most building owners do not have adequate information on optimal conservation investments. Nor do they have access to adequate financing. Fuel economy standards are not slated to improve beyond 1985. The regulatory structure inhibits utilities from becoming active partners with industry in cogeneration. And, most important, the price consumers pay is much lower than the full cost that the nation incurs, when new energy supplies are developed and used. It will not be easy to implement policies to overcome the institutional obstacles. But it should not be harder than to keep our country on the course of energy supply expansion, especially in light of increasing concerns about the risks posed by both nuclear and fossil fuel energy supplies. Hopefully, in the forthcoming debate over the future of nuclear power, people will appreciate that we do have energy choices and that saved energy is by far our most promising energy resources. beleaguered Labour Government before it falls and the avowed uncompromising Tories assume the helm. , agrieved nationalities) is also a question that has gone unresolved.

The two men, in an Exclusive interview with The Spectrum evaluated the peace treaty between their two countries, the status of yet-to-be kesolved Palestinian entity, and. changes in domestic arid foreign policy for both^ountries.

Saying he could only evaluate Israel’s disengagement from the Sinai from the American news media, Auda felt that both parties would honor the treaty. The problem, he suggested, could arise in upcoming negotiations surrounding the Palestinian area. A more immediate problem which Auda 'condemned was Israel’s retaliatory strikes on . because Egypt is no longer at war with Israel, the most important priority for “survival of the Egyptian regime”is economic development. -Similarly,- Galnoor pointed out that much of his government’s efforts have been directed at narrowing the gap that exists between the wealthy and the poor in Israel. In Israel, Galnoor noted, there is an economic disparity between many of the latter immigrants and those who have been there a long time. This cleavage, which he characterized as an Palestinian “ethnic” one, is examplified in different levels of education, housing, and income between many of the European Jews and many of the Sephardic Jews. of alternatives.

It s less often that the person whose car receives the ticket is not the person who got arrested. But, Monday morning, a routine parking violation in the lot behind Harriman Library escalated into a confrontation between a University faculty member and campus security resulting in the arrest of Mark Donahue for obstructing • • government administration. Donahue s version of the saga differs significantly from that of Director of University Police Lee Griffin’s. Donahue said he went to -his girlfriend’s car, saw a ticket on the car, and proceeded to throw it in the police vehicle in which two officers were sitting. Donahue said that one of the officers got out of the car, “pushed the ticket up against my chest, and when I didn’t grab it, the ticket fell to the ground.” Griffin said that Donahue “threw” the ticket in the officer’s face, the officer “gave” the ticket back to him then Donahue “threw” the • - ticket on the ground. Donahue claims the officers threatened to arrest him for “littering” but when he asked them to repeat the threat louder, so that the crowd of people gathering could hear, they warned him of being charged with disorderly conduct. Griffin claims that Donahue became “loud, obnoxious and was cursing.” When the officers threatened him with arrest, said the Police Director, Donahue held his hands up in the air and was promptly handcuffed. Conflicting reports continue to cloud later events. Donahue said that he overheard the officers at the police station say that the charges “would never hold.” Thus, he, maintains, “They told me they were going to drop two charges because 1 had dalmed down and just hold me ; • ' • CO Communication Director Speakers Bureau Athletic Affairs Coordinator Sub-Board I Director Sub-Board I Vice Chairman 3 Board of Directors of FSA Stipended positions If interested you must apply by May 4 Applications available SA Office, 111 Talbert Hall or call for info, at 636-2950 administration.” for obstructing government Donahue, who had been fingerprinted and photographed at University Police headquarters was taken downtown to the Buffalo station where he was fingerprinted and photographed again frisked, placed in a holding cell, and finally issued a court appearance;ticket for Monday. Donahue, who was released on his own recognisance three hours after the initial argument, told The Spectrum that for most of the episode his hands were tightly cuffed behind his back. Both sides charge the other using “abusive language” and mishandling the initial confrontation. Donahue commented, “The who’c thing could’ve been avoided if they just treated me like a human being rather than a criminal right from the start.” Donahue, who plans to go to legal aid, noted that he will pursue Monday’s dispute. Police - - Ethnic Fest disappoints by Karen Gee Spectrum Staff Writer Avoiding the cold, windy drizzle downtown, Mayor Griffin and Executive Edward Rutkowski cut blue and pink ribbons inside the new Buffalo Convention Center last Friday to open the city’s first Ethnic Heritage .Festival. The festival, which was the result of a cooperative effort by the Arts Council for Buffalo and ErieJL'ounly, Arts Development Services and the Niagara Frontier Folk ArFCouncil, hoped to accomplish “a complete representation” of all American County ethnic groups. the local glitter, however, could not prevent several of the festival’s elements from descending into the abyss of cheap and unimaginative commercialism, compering unfavorably to similar annual efforts in Toronto and New York City. Throughout the three days of the festival held last weekend, over five dozen music and dance groups such as the: Hellenic Orthodox Church Greek Ethnic Society and the Halyczanky Ukrainian Singing Quartet performed on the Convention Center’s stage. These creative spectacles, however, contrasted with the often shoddy and profit-oriented cultural booths throughout the indoor fairgrounds. The first of many performers on stage was the touring Buffalo Iroquois Drum Dancers, known as the Native Americans. The dancers, some dressed in traditional Irdian ceremonial clothing, while others were outfitted in contemporary plain shirts and dungarees, performed several traditional dances. “Chic” Mingling and milling around offstage were several colorful German ladies in heavily starched but beautiful blue, black and white dresses.They explained that these garments have been “chic” since the turn of the century. Aside from the Theater and “Song and Dance,” there were over two dozen cultural exhibits and booths at the Festival. Many participants, according to Joan Scakfabu of Arts Development Services, made special trips back to their homelands in order to bring to the fair their native lands’ finely-laced clothes, original ceramics and other crafts. The Ethnic Festival wanted every thing to be “authentic”, she A said. Three special exhibits sported authentic ethnic food; the German Beer Garden, the Serbian Kafana and the lively Irish pub all drew enthusiastic throngs. The Native American group, seated inside -transparent cabinets, displayed colorful beaded belts. An attendant explained that these belts were used in affirming intertribal treaties and had value similar to currency. In the African booth, a few posters were displayed and a few the sole pamphlets lay on top of the table. Sitting and yawning attendant at the booth seemed to have nothing to do but clean her , pocketbook. Even though the Chinese booth primarily displayed painting? and flower drawings, the attendants delighted in telling stories and explaining their culture to the passers-by. In general, the most common items on sale in most of ttle craft booths were jewelry, clothes, toys and books. Some were welling original lithographs and block prints. Although the Festival acted as a fund raiser fof the various participating ehtnic organizations, the groups had to rent their booths. Every organization, however, was allowed to keep the profits made at their booths, an Ethnic Festival Representative explained. For example, handmade ardilleras (wall hangings) could cost as much as 16 dollars and a beaded hair clipper was on sale for,20 dollars. Many outfits and artifacts were on sale for cheaper prices however. Yet most of them werg. dirty and old. One white blouse, on sale for five dollars, had yellow armpit stains.

"We very often find that the potential single parent isn’t prepared for what it means to be a parent,” said the Sister. "We try to teach the girls that there is more to motherhood than the physical care of a child. Many are ignorant of what it is to be a parent, because they’ve had so many bad experiences with their own parents. Many have been beaten, neglected, and harassed.

Sister Maureen explained that the single adolescent parent is alone, and that society makes her feel that she must prove her total financial and emotional r self-sufficiency. ‘That’s impossible without moral support,” she said. “We must put some trust into the girls. We’re here to help them whether choose they or adoption motherhood, not to prove' them wrong. She mu?t feel able to ask for help, and not to be afraid that others will take her baby because of her incompetence.” “It is important to note that the program has evolved since it began in 1971,” she said. At first, the emphasis was pn those who wanted to put their bgbies up for adoption. Now mor6 girls keep their babies. The program is licensed by the New York Department of Social Services, and is covered by Medicaid and welfare for those who are Catholic eligible. Charities subsidize the cost for those who cannot afford it. Many school systems have begun alternative school programs for pregnant girls. Community Services Maternity recently received a $75,000 grant from the Human Service Planning Council of Schenectady, New York, to establish a network of support services throughout New York State. ‘The public education system should absolutely be commended for their alternative school programs,” Sister Maureen said. “It removes some of the pregnancy taboo and finally ! SPECIAL^ « page 8 a need which has always been present.” Although more communities and school districts have instituted teenage pregnancy programs, the underlying problems which lead to teenage pregnancy and the problems which face the teenage parent are far from solved. Peter H. Schuck, head of HEW's teenage pregnancy task force, feels that a moral dimension is needed in the teaching of sex education. “Kids hunger for moral guidance, and the purely clinical approach is not very effective.” Schuck said However, critics feel that “moral teaching” ignores the basic task protecting teenagers who engage in sexual irftercourse. A recent New York Times article noted that teenage mothers usually find themsleves totally dependent on their families or on the welfare system, and are denied the chance to finish school, land a meaningful job, or extricate themselves from a cycle of dependency and distress. A spokesman for the Center for Population Research in Washington, D.C., feels that teenage mothers have already determined the major part of their future. ‘Their life choices are few,” he said, “and most of them are bad.” “I really did sort of want to get declared pregnant,” one 15-year-old eight months on the way.-“I always wanted a baby. 1 don’t know why, I guess I just wanted it for company. I’ve got a little brother, but he’s not mine. He’s my motor's. I just wanted something of my own.” Hofmann believes that the teenagers’ mothers play an important large role. “The mother sees her own youth and fertility disappearing, and if her daughter does have a baby, this is a way for her to hold on to her child-rearing role,” Hofmann said. Often, when the teenager and her baby live with the girls’s family, the baby-receives so much attention that the girl feels unimportant and neglected again. “Another problem,” said the Sister, “is that a 13-year-old is not physically ready to carry a fetus for nine months. Her own bones are not yet formed, and it can recognizes — cause problems with the baby’s health as well as the mother’s during and, after the pregnancy.” One of the girls in the Albany home casually mentioned that her mother wants the girl’s aunt to adopt the baby. ‘She won’t tell me it’s true but 1 know it is, because my aunt can’t have any more kids and she wants to the adopt,’’said 15-year-old as sire awkwardly attempted to climb the stairs. “But 1 won’t let her have it. 1 just won’t. It’s going up for adoption. I’m just waiting for this to be born, so 1 can get out of here. This whole thing is getting to be boring.” — The 355 Squire Hall — AIMACOIME'S INN IS THE PLACE TO DO IT- We have no Hootin, Hollering, Yelling, Screaming FAMOUS FOR OUR BEEF ON WECK" Open everyday till 4:00 am BeefT llliards W Our Juke Box has the “'• b C,IOn, °' JAZZ & Top 10 & Rock *“ 3178 BAILEY AVE 836 * “ rve ,ood «" 3:00 Special every Wed. „ — or Loud Music.

The team members are few, and the spectators are even fewer. They take their lumps, being outnumbered by as many as five to one by other varsity teams with vastly more experience and resources. As if this were not enough, the team practices anonymously at Sweet Home high school, unknown and under-appreciated by the University community. A casual observer might be led to think that this is a frustrated group. “Not so,” says Gay, who since her appointment by Betty Dimmick, head of Women’s athletics at UB, has had to live with the daily problems that plague her team. “1 am sure that we are going to get better.” Her most difficult problem this season has been getting athletes to come out. “We only have ten to twelve girls at practice regularly, and only eight went to Cortland last Saturday, so I couldn’t expect too much,” the coach said. She made the point that many people didn’t know that the team exists, but enough interest has been shown to make her optimistic for future seasons. Clay also noted that women’s track will be a varsity sport next spring, dding to her hopes that more women will get involved. "Everyone is welcome to join and participate,” she said. Within the past week the Royals held a dual meet against Brockport State and competed in the Cortland Invitational. As expected, UB as a team did not sparkle when it came to the final score, but there have beerr a few fine performances. In the Brockport dual, UB lost to the larger and more experienced Lady Eagles 79-33, although they managed four first place finishes. Pat Williams led the UB individual stars by inning the 100-yard dash in 12.0 seconds and the 220-yard dash in 28.3 seconds. Soyka Debush placed first in the discus throw with a toss of 99 feet, 4-inches and Mary Stockweather won the 100-yardhigh hurdles in 18.7 seconds. The Cortland Invitational was represented by schools from as far away as Southern Connecticut, and UB wasn’t really a threat for the team title. They did" manage to place sixth overall, as Williams finished fourth in the 100-yard dash and Dobush placed fourth in the discuss throw with a personal best of 106 eet. Their final meet of the year was the Oswego Invitational held yesterday on the Great Laker’s campus. NOTES: The men’s track team did not fare any better this weekend than their female counterparts. In a quadrangular meet held at SUNY Binghamton with Albany State and Cortland State, the Bulls could manage only three points; although, in all fairness, they also suffer front a case of lack of competitors, bringing only fourteen athletes to the meet. UB scorers were Bill Regan with fourth place finishes in the long jump and javelin throw, and Dave Norton, also with a fourth place in the 440-yard run. Kieran Lyons - UB athletes super in first annual ‘Superstars’ event Major league sports have their own televised and highly rated “Superstars” competition, and now UB has its own Superstars Day, inaugurated Sunday at the Bubble with the participation of 10men’s intercollegiate teams and six women’s squads. Emerging victorious from the first annual evejjt, sponsored by the UB Varsity Club, were the football and field hockey teams, who earned first place by topping their respective divisions. Although the gridders lost the football throw event to the baseball team, they were able to wif the relay race and the golf shoot and defeat the diamond Bulls by a final tally of 52-and-a-half points to 44. Taking third place in the eight-event series which was conducted by head coaches and adminstrators of the Department of Recreation, Athletics and Related Instruction, (RARI) were the icers, who finished the with day 42-and-a-half marks. Bringing up the rear was the men’s basektball squad, which - — — - entered only two members co-captains Nate Bouie and Tony Smith and racked up 10points. Rounding out the male division were: soccer, fourth; tennis, fifth; cross-country, sixth; golf, seventh; wrestling, eighth; swimming and diving, ninth. — Field hockey excels The field hockey Royals clutched the resoundingly women’s crown, prevailing in fou» of the eight events, and outdistancing the second place basketball and softball squads by a comfortable 10 points. On its way to 'female sports dominance at UB, the field hockey team took first place in the golg shoot, the obstacle course, the bicycle grand prix and basketball shoot. Second place was a highly disputed position, but it was the basketball and softball teams finishing tied with 21 points who finally edged out spiece the swimming and diving and volleyball squads, who took fourth and fifth places, with and 20-and-three-fourths 19 marks, respectively.

The premier and the certainly — Deadline for Fall 1979 applications: most entertaining event of the afternoon was the tug-of-war. If you could pick the two most likely teams to encounter each other in the ultimate test of strength and endurance, who else would it be but the football team, naturally, and the wrestling team. The rules stipulate a 1,000-pound maximum for each team. The footballers chose to go with five people, each weighing roughly 200-pounds. The wrestlers, a little short on heavyweights, opted to go with a few light-weights, a couple of middle-weights and Paul Curka. Curka, the anchor, tips the scales at a hefty 255 pounds. Immediately It appeared that the football team would sweep the event when their initial surge began to drag the wrestler across the white line separating the winners from the losers. Reaching into their reserve strength, the wrestlers gritted their teeth and hung in until finally it was the grid-stars who began to wear away. Eventually, as though it were the finals of an NCAA the championship, wrestlers snapped the football players forward, capping the afternoon and sending all the athletes running to the abundant kegs of cold beer. - BUFFALO ROCHESTER 716-633-4179 716-3854650 CLASSES BEQIN JUNE 4 DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL DESIGN MlH & PLANNING tornCmwh 831-213? fall. Main Start REVIEW �J Lacrosse Bulls attack back on track in 6-4 vi tory lunged, but never had a chance by David Davidson Sports Editor A perfect day for playing lacrosse is not one that is sunny and wafm, at least not for tire UB Lacrosse Bulls. Earlier this month the Buffalo Sticks wandered over to Buffalo State College for a 4-2 win played fiiu.i sub-freezing temperatures and a slight threat of a blizzard. In fact, many times the ball disappeared, only tb show up 50 yards down field in a small but increasing snow drift. A month later the snow is gone, but a hard driving rain and a chilling wind seemed to delight the Bulls so much they picked up their third win of the season, 6-4 over the •Tribunes of Monroe County Community College, on Monday afternoon on their home turf. Instead of relying on a scoring seemed to be game, UB concentrating on how hard they could rurt a Monroe attacker into the mud, Or how red a defenseman’s leg would get if constantly .stung by flying sticks. When they did get down to scoring goals, UB picked the proper time. Only two minutes into the dontest club newcomer Paul Lampl raked up the ball a -scramble in during the goal-crease and shoved it into the , Hat trick Buffalo picked up two unanswered goals by the middle of period two, the second one by Tom Calo, also a first-year member of the Bull team. The shot Calb slammed in off a whip-pass from Craig Kirkwook J was his first of three scores for the afternoon. “1 wasn’t doing anything special,” remarked Calo, who previously on played die collegiate level at a small school in the lacrosse capitol of the world, Maryland. “I just shot the ball, and they went in,” he concluded. Calo,struck again when Mq^oe. had come back to tie the game at three all on Head’s shot past Vitale. Barely a minute had ticked by when Calo, a native of Corning, N.Y., shot a picture perfect, low and hard pop into the mesh. Once ahead, Buffalo resorted to the tough physical game which began to punish the hordes. ' , ’ > net. U6 continued to pepper the Monroe goal with a series of mis-directed shots that were not as close as the oohs and ahhs from the Buffalo bench interpreted them as. Monroe finally broke into the scoring column -midway through the initial period when co-captain Don Head found Ron Boillat circling the crease unmolested. Boillat one-hopped a shot by UB goalie “Spanky” Vitale who photocopying at ‘The Spectrum* office 1355 Squire Halir" Joe Buffamonte :k on the attack fastest, Saturday —12-4 The coach gets a breather Starting Monday May 14 at least 6 Hrs/wk M-F 9-9 cheapest, MTWF-8:30 8:30: Th—8:30-5 —Floss WANTED: Employees to work at SA Bike Compound is the o “They got sloppy,” admitted player-coach Kirkwood, “but they just didn’t have enough players.” Hiving enough players isn’t a problem Kirkwood faces as a part-time player and full-time coach. “It gets tough coming off the field and coaching. You don’t have time to catch your breath.” Kirkwood was able to eventually calm down and evaluate the Bulls’ performance for the afternoon. “Our attack was lacking in the last three or four games, but I think we have it together n.ow,” the fourth-year pharmacy major noted, “Ken Cohen (the team’s most experienced attacker) and Joe Buffamonte are back now, and that helps.” LACROSSE CHECKS: Buffalo’s final two tallies went to Calo and Jim Papoulis. Papoulis had a great game, very little of which Shows up on the stat sheets. Papoulis the constantly cleared out surrounding area of the net for Vitale whose win was certainly well earned. As a freshman last year, Vitale saw limited action and was usually very shaky in front of the net. A year later, he confidently holds his position in the crease and as a consequence is able to stop a greater number of shots. Also deserving credit for his defense is Joe Commito. As the enforcer, the Bulls’ number 77 is quite capable of keeping opposing attackers honest after their firsf or second taste of the mud. The Lacrosse Bulls are at home tomorrow afternoon at Rotary Road Field for a match with the Stfnaca Lacrosse Club. According to Kirkwood, the Club consists primarily of “Hobart players who never graduated but are Ineligible to play anymore. Hobart was the number one division two school in the country last year.” 20% OFF ALL BOOKSTORES INC 3610 Main Street T-SHIRTS (Across from the Main Street Campus) APRIL 27 MAY 11 Please submit applications by Friday May 4th in rm.

J5 �expected to deter I Art Festival commercialization \ Compromise by lod DiMarco City Editor “The AUentown Village Society (AVS), for the 22nd year, will produce the Allentown Outdoor Art Festival,” announced AVS Chairman Sean Hill to a pleasantly surprised group gathered at American Legion Post 1 Wednesday night. The group of more than 130 people had gathered at the Deleware Ave. Post to voice their reaction to the AVS’s previous announcement that it was withdrawing its sponsorship of the annual art show. The AVS had. balked at sponsoring the show after a Buffalo Common Council resolution allowing merchants to set up their wares alongside the display of local artists. But Wednesday’s compromise between the AVS and the Allentown Business People (ABP) forbids such commercial displays but bans artists displays in front of any store that doesn’t want them. The members of the ABP have long complained that the weekend art show has been more a burden than a boon to them. They have said that in the past the large number of artist’s booths in front of their stores has resulted in a two-day loss of business. The merchants wanted the right to set up booths of their own to, in effect, compete with the art displays. But the AVS has strongly opposed the idea, fearing that such commercialization would ruin the spirit of the immensely popular art show, which annually attracts 100,000 to 200,000 Western New Yorkers to the streets of Allentown. Under the new compromise agreement, officials of both groups hope to solve both problems and provide a framework with which to work out plans for next year’s art show. July poll Hill explained that Allentown shopowners will have until May 4 to notify the A VS whether they want art displays in front of their stores. After this year’s festival, both the AVS and the ABP will Bus conduct a poll of Allentown’s merchants during the month of July to determine whether the compromise was effective. Furthermore, if the AVS finds that the planning of next year’s festival is not going to its liking, then it can still drop its sponsorship but pledges to make its decision one way or the other before September 30. The details of the compromise were worked out Wednesday night during a closed meeting between two feuding groups and two other Allentown service organizations; the Allentown Community Center and the Allentown Association Inc. The meeting had been arranged by Delaware District Councilman William Marcy and Council President George Arthur, both of whom had vowed earlier in the week that the Allentown Art Show would go on as scheduled with or without the AVS. Festival enlarged Wednesday’s agreement still requires approval of the Common Council, but with Marcy and Arthur’s support, liitle opposition is expected. Still, one part of the agreement that could delay its passage stipulates that the geographic boundaries of the festival be extended. In the past, the art show has extended only one along Allen St. between Franklin and Delaware while extending for many blocks along Elmwood. Wednesday’s compromise calls for the festival to extend for four blocks along Allen between Pearl and Park. The members of the compromise meeting made their announcement of the compromise immediately afterward at the American Legion Post, 20 minutes after the Post meeting was supposed to have begun. block Despite the inconvenience and the queries of many of those present, the community leaders present declined to answer questions posed by either the public or the press. The earliest that the Council can give its decision on the agreement is at its weekly meeting on Tuesday. to itD. C.

Campus Police back on duty— State guard’s strike continues by Dan Bowman Spectrum Staff Writer Police officers University returned to their familiar campus beats Friday, dropping their picket signs, after a majority of the union members voted to discontinue the week-long strike. Chairman of the State University Police Union’s UB chapter David P. Parobek told The Spectrum shortly after the vote was taken that UB Police would continue their regular shift duty beginning at 10:45 Friday night. Parobek emphasized, “We have not agreed to the contract proposed by the State because we are bound to any decision the State correction guards make in regard to accepting it. However, a of our majority members obviously felt that getting back to work was their only decision.” Parobek was cautious in explaining the UB officers’ position. “It has been a trying situation for all. Certainly the effect of going without a paycheck for an entire week, plus fines and the prospects of more of the same was a considerable factor in the'vote.” Jail threat University Police held the vote The judge also mandated that in response to a court order by the union’s executive director Albany Supreme Court Judge order his men back to work by Edward S.

Washington gams momentum on campus Protestors will assemble this Sunday and begin to march at noon past the White House down Pennsylvania Avenue to the Capitol building. There, dozens of prominent Americans, including entertainers, politicians, nuclear industry officials, labor leaders and Harrisburg evacuees, will testify on the hazards, viability and alternatives to nuclear power as an energy source. , Monday, Monday Many rallyers expect to remain in D.C.' Monday to lobby at Congress, the Department of Energy and the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. A lobby strategy session has been planned by the Critical Mass energy group after the march. “It’s really important that people stay to lobby on Monday,” noted CANCER Spokesperson Bill Nowak, “because on Tuesday and Wednesday the Edison Electric Institute will be lobbying Congress.” The EEI serves as the national research and public relations coordinator for 226 U.S. utilities. The DOE building will not only be the target of lobbyists Monday, but of a sit-in as well; the Mobilization for Survival coalition plans to occupy the site. While some organizers say they’ll participate in this act of civil disobediance, others feel it would be counterproductive. “We want to educate people to the fact that nuclear power is not viable,” said CANCER-member Daniel Pfoltzer. “Civil disobediance would turn-off alot of people, would label us as radical,” he stated, noting, “It’s important to reach the man who works at Chevy.” Pfoltzer last week filed a lawsuit, through the American Civil Liberties Union, against the Buffalo Police Commissioner, the Police Department, and its photographer, for illegal surveillance of public demonstrations. The suit stemmed from an April 18 rally downtown at which the police Anti-Subversive Squad photographer took numerous photos of anti-nuke protestors. The lawsuit, claiming constitutional violations of the rights of speech and public assembly, names as its plaintiffs “all persons who have or will in the future become participants in public meetings in the City of Buffalo.”* Although Pfoltzer says he is sure that “massive surveillance” will be employed for the Washington rally, hell be there. “1 feel strongly enough about the issue tha I’ll go anyway,” he said, “but I’m willing to bet that the FBI, CIA, military intelligence and White House guards will be there.” These agencies are known to have been involved in surveillance of the Vietnam demonstrations, he noted. Pfoltzer recalled UB’s role in the Vietnam protests of the late sixties and early seventies; when this University was widely recognized as a stronghold of activism. When UB’s contingent would appear in Washington, Pfoltzer related, other protestors would yell, “All right, UB’s here!” T-shirts To help offset the projected $10,000 in busing costs, CANCER has developed several fund raisers, including a raffle, collection cans at co-ops and high schools, sales of “March on Washington” t-shirts and buttons, and a benefit at the Schuper House this Thursday night. Part of the round-trip bus ticket cost of $20 may be later refunded if enough cash is raised, according to NYP1RG. Buses will leave UB’s Baird lot at midnight on Saturday along with buses from Buffalo State, and arrive in Washington about 9 a.m. Buses will leave Sunday at 9 a.m. and be back on campus by 7 a.m. Monday morning. If the demand warrants, some buses will remain in D.C. for those who wish to lobby/sit-in on Monday. Transportation tickets are available at: all Buffalo food coops; NYPlRG, 356 Squire Hall; the Ellicott Square Building, 295 Main Street, room 1071;Worker’s World, 349 Niagara Street at Virginia, and the Greenfield Street Restaurant. Trustees reject Stony Brook presidential nomination by Cathy Carlson Spectrum Staff Writer In an unprecedented move, the SUNY Board of Trustees rejected the Stony Brook Council’s nomination of T.A. Pond for University President marking the first Chairman Donald M. Blinken, “There were strong indications that the campus and immediate constituents were not by any means unanimous in their support of Pond .” He added that it was unfair to select a candidate who lacked enthusiastic support. Pond has been serving as Acting also hinted that there were underlying reasons for the rejection. Anderson contends, “We have to read between the lines and judge if divisiveness was the sole or compelling reason that the Board rejected Pond .” He refused to be more specific. However, a source with close ties to SUNY central told The Spectrum last week that Pond would be rejected. The source said that SUNY Chancellor Clifton R. Wharton did not consider Pond a qualified candidate and that Wharton had voiced his displeasure to the Trustees. ' Cold and calloused Ponds’ selection sparked opposition, mainly from students, who are asking for “new blood” in the Stony Brook Administration. President of Polity Stony Brook’s student government Keith Scarmato emphasized, “The present Administration, which Pond has been a part of for years, has a cold and calloused attitude.” Scarmato believes it is time for a change. The change longed for by the students is closer to reality as the Council once again begins the extensive process of reviewing candidates for President. Chairman of the Council Anderson said, “It is now a matter of casting out the net and seeing who we come up with.” After Wednesday’s decision, the Council was asked by the Board to reinstate the search process. The search will start with a committee which reviews eligible candidates and makes recommendations to the Council, which in turn votes on the — - time that the Trustees have cast aside the recommendation of a university council. The Trustees cited “divisiveness” surrounding Ponds’ nomination as their main reason for rejecting the Stony Brook Council’s selection. According to Board President since the resignation of President John .Toll last semester. President of the Council Christian Anderson acknowledged that the Board had to be concerned with the “divisiveness” created on campus, but he PEER ADVISOR TRAINING PROGRAM Peer Advisors are students working with other students.

Committee’s finding after an investigation of its own. The Council’s choice is forwarded to the Trustees who have, in the past, agreed with the Council’s selection. A mote immediate problem facing Stony Brook is the question of who will head the University until fall. Pond has been Acting President since last July, but in view of the Board’s decision it is uncertain if he will continue to hold that post. Board Chairman Blinken remarked, “It is uncertain who will be Acting President. It is something for Chancellor Wharton, Pond and Anderson to decide.” The unique precedent set by the Board has numerous implications for the SUNY system. According to Anderson, “Some people regard the Board’s decision as an act of eroding the Council’s power. It is more a question of making explicit the implicit relationship between the Council and die Board.” He claimed that the Council has limited power in recommending candidates and it is really the Trustees’ responsibility to elect the President. Blinken regards the Trustees’ decision as an indication that the search committee procedure should be re-evaluated. He commented, ‘it is time to study and fine-tune the search process to see whether mbre importance could be placed on various constituents.” Blinken also believes that the Council should benefit from the broader experience of the Trustees. He explained that the Trustees evaluate candidates for various SUNY presidencies 6-10 times per year, while the average Council recommends a new President every 8 years. �1 E I Emergency resuscitation taught here through College H students and community people would be reached, he said. And this is important. The Red Cross reports that most cardiac fatalities occur outside the hospital. CPR is a simple way to keep people alive until they can be placed under a doctor’s care. What CPR does is to provide artificial circulation and respiration to a person whose heart and lungs have stopped dye to a heart attack, electric shock, drowning, etc. Mouth-to-mouth resuscitation is alternated with cardiac massage to revive the heart and lungs. CPR is a useful skill which can become vital at anytime, anywhere. Learning it takes only a few houts of training and the only investment is a short book that costs about $2.50. Hoffman feels this is a small demand on time and wallet in exchange for the ability to save someone’s life. David Hoffman takes cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) pretty seriously; he used it to save the life of a man dying from a heart attack. Now Hoffman, a licensed instructor, and fellow student Sue Ohnmacht are teaching this simple yet effective technique in the Red Jacket cafeteria “It’s the safest place to choke,” says Hoffman.

This year, students were able to grab key positions on the Board and re-orient some priorities. “One of the major problems of FSA is that there’s been a major turnover in the student representation,” SA President Joel Mayersohh said Friday. The new board members will have to work hard to make up for the tremendous edge in experience that their counterparts in the administration have. Mayersohn said this is “always a danger” in student politics. Aside from operating Food Service, FSA is faced with deciding how to spend the $175,000 that remains from the sale of its University bookstore inventory to Follett College Stores Inc. last November.

Sponsorod by tho Council on Intomotl Hill!! ill �editorial i What will it mean? 1 < In a system riddled with poorly-conceived procedures for appointing and re-appointing SUNY Presidents, one of the most troubling tenants has always been the role played by the College Council a body of socialities and fat cats that often keeps closer tabs on the stock market — 8 than on the campus climate. The rejection of the Stony Brook College Council candidate for the presidency of that school is certainly a highly significant indicator that the SUNY Board of Trustees is determined to take a more active rote; but there are serious questions about what that role will be. It must be remembered that the Trustees are themselves dubiously-qulaified to oversee the nation's largest public university; they are the Governor's appointees and often behave like the Governor's appointees. If, as Board Chairman Donald Blinken would like us to believe, the Board rejected Acting Stony Brook President A.S. Pond out of fears that Pond would prove divisive to the Stony Brook campus, then the Trustees would appear to be moving in the right direction by weighing the opinion of the Council against the mood of the campus, including faculty and students. However, we have received strong indications that Chancellor Clifton R. Wharton has influenced the Board by urging that Pond be rejected. Now, perhaps the Chancellor, being a qualified academic and a recognized leader within SUNY, should have a louder voice in the selection of SUNY presidents; but if that voice is heard in the backrooms and not in public, then Wharton can only cloud the selection with more surreptitious politics, especially considering the Chancellor's close ties with the Governor. A third possibility, advanced by sources close to the SUNY Brook campus, is that Pond had clashed with the Trustees earlier, thus ruining his chances of obtaining their approval. This is obviously disturbing, since there may be many cases where a SUNY President should, in the interests of his university, publicly or privately disagree with the Board's policy. The tuition hike issue it a cleat example here. The use of the appointment process as leverage against dissident Presidents is as objectionable as any havoc the College Council could wreak upon the selection process. A fourth possible scenario is that the Trustees rejected Pond as a symbol that SUNY schools should favor fresh faces over inside candidates that have served as Acting Presidents or right-hand men. •? that is the case, then such a policy should be publicly arrived at so that College Councils need not bother recommending insiders. The interpretation that we would like to draw from the Trustees' rejection of Pond is not likely to be on Anyone's mind since it attempts to dimish the impact of political chicanery on the hiring of academic leaders. We would like to see the Trustees' action as the first step in a move to eliminate the College Council entirely in favor of a University Board of students, faculty, administrators and community members with some background in higher education. The Board would search out and recommend candidates to submit for approval to not the but a constituency-elected Board of politically-appointed Trustees itudent, faculty, SUNY central and citizen representatives. Many major decisionswithin SUNY are, in this era, an implement for state and local power-brokers. So our proposal threatens with too much common sense to be even considered. But the fact thtit no one is even talking about such an idea illustrates the history of warped priorities within SUNY, where academically-sound and educationally-innovative planning is an afterthought to political expediency. Coming to a newspaper near you To close out this year’s contributions to campus journalism. The Spectrum is preparing a special issue examining the turbulent years of 1968-1972. This University went through an upheaval that, for recent students, may be hard to even imagine, although its effects still linger on in the form of academic changes, community faculty attitudes and and deep-rooted administrative sentiment that may never die completely. Though the anti-war movement was the central focus of student activism, the period saw immense upheaval in all forms of campus life Our aim in preparing this special issue is not to merely glorify or romanticize about the past, but to place the events here in their propercontext and draw meaningful comparisons between then and now. Watch for this 32-page special edition. Coming May 11. Garbage To the Editor: While walking to class Tuesday night around 6 p.m., I passed through the fountain area behing Squire Hall. I was shocked and disgusted by the amount of garbage left behind after a sunny day. What is more shocking is that these are the same Facts on Buffalonian 4 people, spelled PIGS, who complain of the chance of a nuclear accident or chemical dumpsite ruining their environment. Perhaps if they spent more time cleaning up their own act rather than pointing fingers this world would be a little cleaner. Perhaps it will rain from now ’til the end of the semester. Arnold Sedlak 9 To the Editor: In response to Larry G. Steele’s April 22 letter to the editor: First, I am confused as to how Mr. Steele and his sixteen captains came to the conclusion that a sports section was to be excluded from the Buffalonian. Nowhere in The Spectrum article was this fact ever mentioned or implied. All that was stated was that this section might not be as dynamic as originally planned. The reason for this was misquoted and has since been corrected by The Spectrum. Mr. Steele, how can yoii use a newspaper as a vehicle for your outbursts when you obviously doubt its credibility? Secondly, I am dismayed that Mr. Steele neglected to contact me personally regarding this and instead resorted to public accusations. A simple phonecall could have straightened out these misconceptions weeks ago. Lastly, it is interesting to note that of the sixteen captains who signed the petition NOT A SINGLE ONE had put a deposit on the yearbook and only two had bothered to have their senior taken. How persons who have shown no interest whatsoever can suddenly scream bloody murder is baffling. As planned from the very first day the Buffalonian began and at this time at the printer, a sports section IS part of the book. Please, check the facts before you find yourself caught in a misconception. portraits Brian Dowd Editor/B UFFA L ON I A N — — The Spectrum Vol. 29, No. 85 Editor-in-Chief Jay Rbten ■ /Mu t 2Uumnijf .i 1: 30 April 1979 ' • I'HitnUiUL. srt( _ I Businas Manager Bill finkel stein Art Director Backpage .. .

Your article makes it even harder. David Hoffman �daymondaymondcr feedback Images Guest Opinion Interpreting the SHI survey by the UB Rights of Conscience Group The results of the Health Insurance Advisory survey of student opinion on our mandatory student health insurance show that 80% plus of UB students are opposed to making abortion coverage a required part of the policy. As the report concluded, “There is little sentiment among students for making abortion coverage a required part of the policy without any option.” The survey found that of those who are on the university palan 28% believe that abortion coverage should not be part of it, S2% believe that it should be optional for conscientious objectors to abortion, and only 19% believe that it should be required by all. The survey also covered those who waived the mandatory plan in order to determine how well the university plan’s service compares with the service students obtain from other companies. For every 7 students who are on the mandatory plan there are 10 who waive. And of those who waive, 50% believe abortion should not be part of the university plan, 37% believe it should he optional, and only 13% believe it should be required ofall. Faced with these statistics, Jane Baum, the holdover Sub Board director (temporarily reappointed by SA President Joel Mayersohn until the end of the year) who has . vowed to do “everything in my power” to keep abortion coverage compulsory,, opined to the Advisory Committee that student response to the survey was not a thought out consideration of all the aspects of the question. The questions she protests took less than a minute to answer. But this issue has been one of the most thoroughly debated this campus has ever seen, and its students are not to be so patronizingly second-guessed. After a year’s controversy students certainly have thought the issue through. The survey shows that only 1% of those surveyed were not sure whether coverage for abortion procedures should be or required. Of those who had an opinion either way, 90% said they felt very strongly or fairly strongly about their positions. So, Jane Baum, Joel Mayersohn, Sub Board I, and CARASA have not only had their position repudiated, but it has been massively repudiated. optional Nevertheless, SA president, Mayersohn, and, we are told. Sub Board are willing to defy the will of this huge majority. Sub Board people are attempting to bully the administration by saying that if President Ketter does not go along with their mandatory payment, they will take it as an infringement of student decision making power and in retaliation they will refuse to carry the insurance altogether. This when the Sub Board vote to make abortion coverage compulsory was only 5-4. This leadership that just barely hangs on has a lot of nerve to talk about "student power” when they are willing to ignore the great majority of students. It is really their power that they want to protect. In order to get what they and the noisy, intolerant CARASA minority wants, they are wilhng to sell out the rest of us and sabotage the arrangement by which we are able to get low-cost health insurance. (This ploy could backfire, however, if President Ketter has the courage to say “no” to the mandatory payment, for the plan could then be contracted by another university corporation such as the Faculty-Student Association.) We have a curious situation here. It is the great majority of U.B. students who favor protecting the rights of individuals, and it is a small minority which is defying the majority’s will and suppressing individual rights. An unresponsive, undemocratic group in control of student government are thus showing themselves to be little more than lackeys of CARASA and the rest of the pro-compulsion crowd. These people are the first to criticize “the system,” but when they get into “the system,” they don’t hesitate to use it to repress the rights of those they disagree with. So, to Mr. Mayersohn we say: you have no mandate to keep pro-option people off Sub Board as you are trying to do. You indeed have a duty to put them on. If not, you put yourself above the will of the great majortiy. To Sub Board we say; You have a duty to consider your action and to vote in accordance with this majority. To you, the great majortiy of students at UB: We commend you for your sensitivity to individual rights. Don’t stand for this outrage any longer. Stand up and demand that your student government representatives join you in respecting the rights of conscience. Peerless peer advisement To the Editor. I am taking this opportunity to commend to the University community the Peer Advisement Program, and to encourage the participation and support of faculty and students alike. Peer Advisement is the use of trained and upper-level students to assist the professional staff of the D.U.E. Academic Advisement Office. Under the leadership of June P. Blatt, Senior Academic Advisor for D.U.E., the task of developing a comprehensive training program was undertaken, and implemented successfully this spring. Fifteen selected students were instructed,in the techniques of communication and in the information and resources of the University. Ten of these were chosen to participate in the Summer Orientation Program in stipended positions. The training program will be repeated in the fall for current freshmen and sophomores accepted into the experienced program. The value of the Peer Advisement program we hope will be the improvement of academic life at U.B. While we augment the services of D.U.E. advisement quantitatively, we hope that we can effect qualitative change as well. For instance, as part of our preparation for summer orientation, each peer advisor has focused on. one of the goals of the orientation process, and has studied and developed new methods of making the summer experience a more positive and enriching one for freshmen. In the fall, the trained peers will be available to talk with students at the D.U.E. advisement locations and will Let continue individual projects under an advisor’s guidance. Some of the proposed projects fire the the improvement faculty advisement, of development of workshops for undecided majors, and the coordination of advisement activities with other offices and organizations in an effort to make the university a more functional whole. It is important to add that not only does the academic community gain from the Peer Advisement Program, but the students involved reap many personal benefits as well. It is a rare opportunity for students to be able |o become a part of a dynamic interchange of' new ideas, and to participate constructively in making U.B. a better place for us and for our successors. From the standpoint of practical benefits, the student has the chance to meet administrators, make contacts, and to acquire skills which will assist him or her in finding a place in the world outside. AH of these benefits are more than compensatory for the considerable time commitment which must be made to the program. I urge the faculty and administrators to support and explore the potential which the Peer Advisement Program has to offer in solving some of the problems which face an attrition-ridden University of Buffalo. And I encourage any interested freshmen or sophomores to contact June Blatt, at the D.U.E. Academic Advisement Office, 20S Squire Hall, 831-3631, for more information regarding recruitment for next semester. I want to take this opportunity to thank everyone involved for making the “Squire-Fest” on April 20 a big success. Everyone realizes the amount of work that was involved, but, at least to me, that’s trivial when the end result produces such a good time. It also goes to show what can be accomplished when two large organizations work efficiently together... being that the total cost for the day was To the Editor.

Marquita Pikes SUNY apartheid and Africa To the Editor Several concerned students, faculty and staff in colleges and universities have expressed total disapproval of their institutions fueling the machines of the Apartheid regime in South Africa. The argument that the Corporations dealing with S. Africa help to ameliorate the economic and social conditions of the oppressed is meaningless. There is an African aphorism which states that once your back is on the ground you cannot fall any longer. This is the tragic dilemma of the oppressed people in S. Africa. It is imperative to remind those Corporations that nineteen million people have been ruthlessly precluded from any political or economic process to determine their existence. In reality, as far as Apartheid is concerned, nineteen million people do not exist. They are merely a means of production to enrich the coffers of the big Corporations. Apartheid has no conscience. It is the most flagrant degradation of the human personality. An economic boycott of S. Africa is one of the most effective weapons of ending the suffering of the oppressed. The Iranian revolution has inflicted very devastating long-term repercussions on the Apartheid economy. Gasoline taxes have soared by 28 percent; stringent economic measures short of gasoline rationing have been imposed. The quantity of gas now on reserve is a national secret. But for Western Corporations which trade with S. Africa her economy would have has the collapsed. SUNY contributed to prolongation of the Apartheid regime and ultimately the plight of the oppressed people in Southern Africa. The most negative aspect of American foreign policy on Africa is that it has been obsessed with containing Communism in the continent. Millions of Africans are not tickled confrontation. In recent years, about a East/West number of African leaders have proclaimed their willingness to seek aid even from the devil to eradicate the internal colonialism in S. Africa. One of the tragic ironies of American foreign policy is that despite the fact that millions of dollars in aid have been donated to some African countries, the prestige of America in Africa today is at its lowest ebb since the Kennedy days. This disenchantment and mistrust stems from the fact that Africans have serious misgivings about the handling of the Apartheid question. SUNY can play a significant role to improve, the relations as other universities such as Michigan State, Yale,..Columbia, and University of Wisconsin University of Massachusetts have done in recent years. Instead of supporting a regime which oppresses Africans Blacks and Whites, SUNY should establish strong links with emerging universities in Africa. Exchange and research programs in collaboration with African universities will elevate the standard of living of the — people and enhance the prestige of SUNY abroad. There are hundreds of Africans studying in only *900.00!! To the people who worked as liquor controllers, beer servers, and clean-up, you did a top notch job. Hopefully, within the next couple of weeks, another “Blast” will take place, again sponsored by Sub-Board and Student Association, and this time, NYPIRG, I want 200 frisbees!! numerous SUNY campuses and the continuation of funds to the' South African regime which we only a shocking oppose is not adamantly embarassment to us but it also questions the validity of the fundamental philosophy of the State University of New York. Let each become all that he is capable of being. The funds channeled to S. Africa deprive millions of oppressed people from becoming what they are capable of being. It is our fervent wish that SUNY Chancellor, Presidents and Board of Trustees will emulate the example of the universities cited above and rescind all financial transactions with Apartheid and promote meaningful* and constructive cooperation with African universities and institutions. Such steps will indicate that America’s vested interests in Africa are genuine and dispel the notion that its ultimate objective is to contain Communism as Dr. Henry Kissinger made us believe. Guerrilla activities to topple Apartheid have intensified..The struggle in Zimbabwe and Namibia are in their concluding phases. There is every indication that once these countries are free the guerrilla war will escalate. Diplomacy has failed. Economic boycott it the last hurdle. We hope that SUNY will stop dragging its feet and contribute its quota to the extinction of an obnoxious, ill-fated regime which has been ostracized by men and women of goodwill, advocates of peace, human dignity, universal brotherhood and equality in the Allen Clifford Sub-Board I, Inc.

This is perhaps just as well because summer is the season for skydiving and Woods plans to do a lot of - - it Before we, or anybody else for that matter, were allowed to skydive, we were given extensive lessons. First off, we practiced jumping out of a mock airplane out in back of the club's barn. When Woods gave the signal, we were to climb out on the ledge. When he smiled, we were to climb out onto the wing. When he screamed "Out and arch," we were to swing our right leg back and fly away from the plane with our chest pressed outward and our arms outstretched. The second step of our aviation education was learning how to land, presuming of course that we would land on the ground. From a green wooden table about four feet high, we tested our landing JUMPMASTER: George Wood* barks command* to a jittary ctudant at ha prepare* to trap outside of a mock plana.

The instructor's merciless and relentless demands belie his normal light-hearted attitude and manifest his firmly entrenched belief in safety and instruction before jumping out of an airplane. Skydivers take their sport seriously; for many, it's the driving force in their lives. Steve Mura, a muscular, dark man with a soft voice, started jumping last year. He and his girlfriend wanted to "do something exciting." "I found out," Steve explains, "that skydiving is really what I was looking for." He has been jumping ever since. "I feel like a fool trying to describe it." Steve muses. "You get a high you just can't match with pot or alcohol." He drops his arm which supports his angular face as he lies on the grass watching the others dangle from the tree and pulls some dirt from the ground and throws it. His dark brown eyes enlarge, looking at me. "You're in control out there. It's about the only time you are. And when \ I5T k < * something goes wrong like your steering or your it bothers you. You can't wait to try it landing again." Divers usually give up trying to describe the sensation of tumbling through the air. This is possibly why so little writing has emerged from the sport.

Free fall is when one descends through the air before the parachute opens. We were going to use a static line attached to the plane which would open the canopy automatically two seconds after leaving the plane. It was time to jump. I wanted to be "a leader" and go first. I had only been in a plane once before and then I immediately threw up. This plane, a Cessna 180, was much smaller than the one I had been in and resembled a cramped closet. When we took off and as the plane's wheels no longer bumped against the ground but had begun to rise, tilt and circle, I started to throb, wheeze and sweat. wry % * * ou're strapped in, George shouts out th a voice tenuously mixing Knute Burt Reynolds.

"All that was suicidal in me is finally surfacing." Even at an elevation of 800 feet, the fields were green and ochre chess squares and Beebe road was a tiny thread. We were going to jump from 3000 feet. When we reached that altitude, a smiley George instructed us to cover our emergency chutes which were strapped to our chests and opened the door to throw out a yellow streamer. The streamer, depending on where it lands, describes the prevailing wind conditions. We waited until it hit the ground a few hundred yards away from the jump pit. Accordingly, I was to jump a few hundred yards upwind. The plane made a circle and George opened the door and it flapped against the wing. "Come on, get out," George demanded. The plane was bouncing through the semi-doudy turbulence. I skidded my rear end across the runnered floor of the plane towards the door. The 60 mph wind nearly blew my helmet off and sucked my lungs clean of air. I trembled. "On the wing," George shouted, wiping his Fu Manchu mustache, revealing a silly grin. Now folks, here is where words, especially under my command, begin to fail. My left foot dung to a short narrow metal step; my right foot quivered distressingly in the air, and I could smell the burning oil of the propeller mix with the rushing sweet air above Niagara County, just like Steve said it would be.

Even though Buchanan landed relatively near the target lone, he nearly hit deadly power linas, landed on top of a garage, crashed through a tree, and frightened a dog. 'The Spectrum’ reporter risks I ife by Tom Buchanan An intense sensation of fear rushed through my mind when George Wood, the jumpmaster, told me to "Get out of the plane". I stepped outside the craft. My body was numb. I instinctively grabbed hold of the diagonal wing strut, throwing my right foot forward as we had been instructed the day before. George, as he had done with the others, slapped the back of my left thigh as a nonverbal signal to "fly with the wind". My right leg shot back and my body assumed the arched position. I started counting Arch-thousand, two thousand, three thousand. Suddenly at the count of three thousand, everything was quiet. A perfect canopy bloomed above my head. I was momentarily lost in the sky. I quickly found the drop zone by searching for the only body of water Lake Ontario and tracing it back to the grass runway. The big white which experienced jumpers were arrow supposed to point out'from the ground to help guide the novices was unmanned. Unlike most first time jumpers, I had to find the ground on my ... — — — — My body crashed into a huge beech tree and slipped through the snapping branches. I then slammed into the roof of a small garage and quickly bounced off, continuing my fall to earth. The canopy was wrapped in the overhead tree, suspending me one foot above the ground, in front of a badly frightened, barking dog. I unstrapped my parachute and quickly left the area in case the dog regained its senses and decided to attack. Once.away from the landing area, I inspected my body for damages but couldn't even find a scratch. While walking back to retrieve the canopy, George explained that a tree landing is unusual. Most jumps are really quite routine, George explained. I was the exception. Looking back, the jump was fantastic, and the landing, at least interesting. It seems strange, but jumping from a speeding airplane is, well, fun. There is no other thrill that can match an adrenalin-producing fall from 3,000 feet. It is easy to see why some people skydive as a hobby; it's addictive. I'm trying it again, after finals. The descent lasted only a few short minutes. I approached the drop zone faster than I should have, and swiftly passed over the landing target. If I continued on course and did nothing, my body would have crashed into a set of defcdly power lines and been fried like a hunk of steak. Rather than die through painful, messy electrocution, I quickly maneuvered my canopy into a partial position and 'run' heading with the wind — — passed a mere 15 feet over the electrical hazard. Once past the power lines, my final landing spot was 20 yards ahead, an area cluttered by a house, a garage, a barn, an empty swimming pool and dozens of man-eating trees. Fall to earth I saw myself moving first for a tree landing. Without hesitation I assumed the "covered position" learned in five hours of jump training.

I also remembered, as the target point under me was moving away, and my life flashing before me, that my second grade teacher also had tried to deny my sense of self-worth. . "Go!" I wimpered and shot my feet back, detached my hands from the wing strut and flew into a crazy, muscular arch. I felt my sense of equilibrium paralyzed, and for an instant, I accelerated towards the hard ground thousands of feet underneath my face. My shute, attached to the plane, automatically opened and my back flew up. I was suspended there in a mystical, profound quiet. As I checked my canopy deployment it had - opened perfectly I wondered where I was. I - couldn't see the drop site. I couldn't see Beebe Road. I couldn't see the club barn. I couldn't even see Lake Ontario. All I could see was an iniquitous circuit of searing power lines and several groves of sharp-branched black trees. I tugged madly on my steering toggles. "I'll never be able to describe this," I thought correctly. Steering toggles From about 2000 feet, I picked out a couple of fields into which I'd try to land, each one being rimmed by either road, power lines or trees. I remembered George telling me that “parachuting isn't a dangerous sport but it's relatively unforgiving." People who do it, he said, “are on the lunatic fringe." 'The wind was uneven and my steering wasn't working very well. It looked as if I barely was going to make 'it into a flooded field bf muddy sheared cornstalks. But the wind shifted into reverse with about fifty or so feet to go. It was obvious that I was going to collide with a large black, straggly armed "If you think static line jumping is exciting," one husky middle-aged man told me, "then you would flip over the 30-second free fall jumps." Most of the other jumpers were doing "relative work." That's when several skydivers jump out of the plane at the same time and join up in the air. Sometimes they make exotic designs with names like 'The Venus Fly Trap." Relative work can be dangerous and the timing is crucial. If a diver is lying flat and spread-eagled, his maximum speed of descent would be about 150 miles per hour. If the jumper is falling closed and upright, his terminal velocity can reach 250 miles an hour. A mid-air collision can mean death. maple. Instinctively, I tightly closed ,my legs and covered my eyes and armpits. I must have broken at least three or four large branches. My knees were scratched; but for the most part I was unscathed, sitting on a flimsy branch hanging twenty or so feet from the briar patch on the ground. As I started to laugh hysterically, the limb snapped and I fell crashing to the ground. The parachute was punctured. It took over an hour to cut down. The entire trip, from plane to ground, took about three minutes. I missed the landing site by over a mile because I hesitated on the wing. A sandy-haired girl picked me up in her blue Pinto and drove me back to the barn. The experienced sportsmen all had a good laugh. George, who jumped after me, grjmaced and asked if anybody had a saw. Tom, the photographer, looked at me, fearful and tense. He was going next and I was going to photograph him. (See accompanying story.) Miller, Budweiser "Sure," George explains, "it happens. I know a few skydivers who are no longer with us." The perils of free fall reached the national newspapers last fail when a photographer collided with another jumper and fell without regaining consciousness to the ground. His film, however, was undamaged. The skydivers don't care much about the danger. They trust their equipment, most of which they custom order and prepare themselves. After a while '.'It took me about 35 jumps," said Steve skydivers aren't even afraid. "But the thrill always stays with you," George explains. "And believe me, you don't even know what beer tastes like until you drink a few cans after - Lying flat Incidentally, I knocked the door open with the camera and on the second trip, almost fell out.

In jeans and T-shirts they stretched their legs, relaxing in the rare Buffalo sunshine and explained why they had chosen vegetarian diets. “I don't believe that animals should be raised to be killed." said Wendy. “With all the chemicals jn food these days you never know what you may be eating," Martha explained. “Besides, living on a non-meat diet is more economical and allows greater variety in a meal.” This Rreater variety in the vegetarian menu stems from the need to obtain the daily requirement of protein. There are four essential amino acids, the building blocks of protein, necessary to fill these daily nutritional requirements. All four essential amino acids arc provided by meat, fish, and soybeans. Other protein foods such as vegetables, eggs, or dairy products may only contain one or two of these amino acids. So wh,en a vegetarian balances a meal, he may need up to four different protein foods to fulfill the ' I IV/L , /T ■ LI I I if I I ICCi I. the animals that merely live to die 5 time it is weaned at six months until full grown at 18 months, restricting exercise to avoid weight loss." One particularly popular female hormone called diethylstibestrol (DES) was found 15 years ago to cause cancer. Within the last year and a half, a proposal has been tossed around in the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to totally ban the use of DES. FDA employee Russel Miller said, “Before any law can be passed, or even considered, enough voices must be heard first-to propose regulation. So far . . . there have not been enough complaints.” Another rancher said. “We know these chemicals are harmful to humans, so we use very little of them.” She addea, "Since no law has yet been passed for its disuse, it’s up to the moral values of the individual meat producer to decide whether or not these hormones are to be used in their cattle.” Religious reason The fact that animals raised for human consumption are simply “living to die,” is one of vegetarians’ greatest objections. “If people were made to see the reality of these animals’ lives, perhaps they would think twice about eating them,” Martha said, “If someone is unable to go out and shoot an. animal because of moral reasons, then why does this same person feel comfortable going to the grocery store to buy meat off of the shelf?” said Weridy. “At least in a hunting situation the animal has half a chance,” she added. An employee at the Tog Packing Go. Inc. of Clinton Street, a Buffalo company that advertises itself as being “specialists in cow and bull slaughter” explained how things are done. “Using a device approved by the Department of Agriculture, cattle are rendered unconscious with a shock between the eyes. They are then hung by the hind legs to be bled, skinned and gutted. We don’t stab to kill,” he stressed, “we use a humanitarian device and knock them unconscious.” Weight loss Breeding the animals, and raising them for slaughter is the first step in the meat marketing process. Cattle ranch operator Warren Bipport explained, “The animal is kept in a crowded indoor pen from the Natural, vegetarian food bar slated for September — take the risk?" he said. This idea of not eating meat for health reasons dates back centuries to when both Jews and Moslems declined consuming certain meat. The pig, for example would often carry a fatal disease called Trickinosis. Presently, the cost of beef has risen steadily over the last four to six months, and in March alone, rose 25 percent. Vegetables, in contrast, rose only 10 percent. Will the increase in beef prices in any way deter meat lovers from consuming their usual amount? Most butchers think reduced consumption is not the trend . A butcher at the Amherst Bells, Ken, said that the buying of beef has not dropped below the usual pace, but has in fact increased as of late. - Certain religious organizations feel that meat is detrimental to a healthy body. The Seventh Day Adventists believe that the ever increasing amounts of preservatives in requirement. If you are a vegetarian or prefer whole-grain, natural foods, you probably have difficulty accepting the present offerings of University Food Service. Well, go hungry no longer for food service adminstrators, in conjunction with the New York Public Interest Research Group (NYPIRG), are planning to open a natural food bar. The bar will be located in Squire Cafeteria adjacent to the ice-creani stand. Head of Food Service in Squire and coordinator of the health food bar Lee Wood expects it to open in September. He said, “I am not going to do it haphazardly.” According to Wood, the bar primarily will offer students “snack” items. NYPIRG volunteer Tom Bijack has offered menu suggestions such as pita bread pocket sandwiches Filled with either cheese, tuna, vegetable sprouts, lettuce and tomato or a variety of other natural foods. Other recommendations are fresh-squeezed fruit and vegetable drinks and yogurt shakes. All foods served by the bar will be fresh, organically grown, and contain absolutely no preservatives. The breads will be whole-grain and contain variations, such as wheat germ ingredient and honey. Although sugar could be natural, it will be used minimally. The bread is to be supplied by the Yeast/West Bakery suppliers of some of the Ellicottessen’s natural baked goods. The new foods bar is being modelled after Buffalo State College’s Health Food Fitness Center. There, Food Service coordinator Gary Vickers noted that the stand now serves about twice as many foods “threaten human life". One active member of this organization says that his people say “no” to meat for health rather than religious reasons. He then quoted a study which cited that a parallel was drawn between pregnant women consuming large amounts of DES contaminated meat and their children who at age 30 acquired cancer. “The link isn’t absolute. But if there is a possibility of danger, then why people as it did when it sold “junk food.” Brockport and Yale both have seized upon the same idea, although they provide luncheon entrees rather than snacks. Such catering has proved very successful. NYP1RG Project Coordinator Frank Butterini felt that the natural food bar was inevitable. ‘There is a definite need,” he remarked. “Vegetarians are strictly limited in variety here.” “And,” pointed out Bijak, “when we took our ideas to Food Service adminstrators, they were in total agreement.” “We think that student ideas and input are very important in this project and urge any type of suggestions and even recipes,” stressed Wood. A meeting is scheduled in NYPIRG’s Squire Hall office for Thursday at 4 p.m. for all students interested in the project. Sue Kushner - �—LOOKING FOR AN INTERESTING ELECTIVE?

FULFILL YOUSELF WHILE FULFILLING A Rl IREmEI If you have ever bothered to read a lease, 1 am sure that you took notice of all the legal “gobbledygook.” If you were trying to find out your legal obligations written in the lease, you probably needed “Black’s Law Dictionary” to get even the vaguest notion of what they were. Fortunately, relief has come with the enactment and legislation Chapter 747; The Plain Language Act. This bill is an amendment Section 5 701 of the General Obligations Law of New York. requires consumer agreements entered into after November 1, 1978, — of to It to be written in a clear and coherent manner using words with common and everyday meanings, and to be appropriately subdivided and captioned by its various sections. This bill is designed to promote effective disclosure of the terms of legal documents. The Plain Language Law affects such documents as leases, deeds, mortgages, retail purchases and agreements for the performance of services. In general, it covers consumer contracts dealing with money, goods and services that are “primarily for personal, family or household users” and valued at less than $50,000. If the bill is not complied with, one can be subject to a class action suit or a $50 fine plus the actual damages suffered because of the noncompliance. The movement for “plain language” is premised on the belief that consumers ought to know what they are getting themselves into when they sign a legal document. Naturally, a consumer who understands his obligations is more likely to meet those obligations. Demystifying, the language is a good attempt at promoting better “readability” by the consumer. By making the language in legal documents more intelligible, recognizable and comprehensible, the message to the laymenis communicated more clearly. Unnecessary words like “covenant,” “heretofore,” “aforesaid,” and “whereas” are replaced so the layman can interpret what is being put forth in these documents. Even though legalese is no longer allowed in leases, one must still look over the document with careful scrutiny. Lawyers, for the most part, are still drafting these documents for their business clients and are concerned with protecting their client’s interest. For those of you who are in the process of renting an off-campus apartment, or plan to in the future, you should be aware of the fact that the lease you will be signing is required by law to be in “plain and simple” language. If you are interested in seeing a model plain language lease, or actually obtaining one, please contact me at Group Legal Services in Room 340, Squire Hall. -Rhonda Helfman Council —continued from page 8— . reactor is not a power generating plant, like the one at Harrisburg.

The Council recommended a few minor word changes in the regulations. Director of Men’s Athletics Edwin Muto advised that UB seek' out the grant and aid committments needed to attract good athletes to the University. The SUNY Board of Trustees prohibits State schools from spending State funds for athletic grants and currently, intercollegiate athletics depend on student governments for money. UB’s Student Association is concluding the third year of a four-year contract which grants the athletic department nearly $250,000 annually. But Muto said that student funding is unstable, noting that a SUNY Trustee had indicated that private donations to the University could possibly be used for athletics. Ketter expressed doubt that the Trustees would permit such a move, particularly in light of repeated attempts in past years to expand UB’s athletic funding base. Council member Robert Koren, however, argued that strengthening UB’s athletic program is “worth the risk of getting somebody upset in Albany.” Koren said he will meet with other Council members and Muto to discuss alternatives. �I Local state assemblyman fears dismal future faces U.S. poor He sees “subtlety” of this discrimination to be a significant Public Interest Newt Service Albany “I’m — more frightened today than I’ve ever been in my life,” said state Assemblyman Arthur O.

These activities, Muniz feels, fill an important need. “Many people don’t know what Puerto Ricans are all about. We’ve been boxed hi by stereotypes that try to makes us all seem the same way. But we’re not. Take a look around you.” The people in their third floor Squire office ranged from white to black with all hues in between. “Our culture is rich because it is three cultures. Blacks, Indians, and Spaniards all make our culture rich. This is why we are called the ‘rainbow people.’” High school students listened as members of PODER identified themselves and their ihajors one by one and offered advice on how to survive college life not only in making grades and finding a major but in surviving with their cultural heritage intact.

Two New York State assemblymen have proposed three bills which, if passed, would develop a statewide system of bikeways. The National Bicycle Manufacturers Association (NBMA) estimates that 8.5 million New Yorkers, nearly half ~-of the State’s population, are winter, snowmobilers. “The need for safe pathways for bikes is vital,” the aide said. “These bills would help make biking safe and encourage wider use of this form of transportation,” Both bills have been introduced for the last three years, but they have never been voted on. The aide speculated that members of the Assembly Transportation Committee could not decide where the necessary state money would come from. The answer to this may lie in a third biking bill. Assemblyman William Hoyt (D., Buffalo) has proposed legislation requiring three percent of the state gasoline tax be used to construct the state-wide bikeway system. In 1977, New York State collected approximately $486 billion in gasoline tax. Three percent of this would be more than $14.5 billion. Herb Morse of the bicycle association, whose organization manufactures 8S percent of the bicydes manufactured in the United States, said that Oregon, Wisconsin and California have effectively used gasoline taxes to fund bikeways. Public Interest News Service - bicyclists. Assemblyman Richard Wertz (RC., Long Beach) has introduced two bills to establish bikeways. The first calls for the state to spend about a million dollars f6r bikeway construction, alteration and maintenance. The second proposal would of the State require Department Transportation to acquire abandoned railroad properties for pathway location. Federal funds are available for bikeway construction on a 70 percent federal to 30 percent state matching fund basis.

While they were on the short end of the meet’s 82-73 final score at Sweet Home High School behind the Amherst Campus, even Coach Richard Bell was surprised at the closeness of the final outcome. “We had a number of outstanding individual performances,” the first-year coach said, “but a lack of depth hurt our team’s chances to win the meet.” The weatherman had a hand in assisting the Bulls’ chances, as the unseasonably warm weather made the Sweet Home: artificial surface softer than it would normally be. While the track took its toll on the long distance runners, it made for some uncommonly fast times in the sprints. This worked to UB’s advantage, since their strength lies in the shorter distance events. Combined with the waiving of the two-event rule (which limits an athlete to enter a maximum of two events), the Bulls were able to make up their manpower disadvantage by entering between the third and fourth men cost precious seconds, and' the Brockport athletes in as many as four events. Losses in both relay events proved to be anchorman came from behind to win by a the difference in the meet, but the Bulls step were not out of either one until the very The mile relay, the meet’s final event, end.

Before the race, the Golden just m more point with a burst of speed on the backstretch. He held off the Brockport anchor fo; about £ one hundred yards, but the Golden Eagle sprinter still had something left for the S final straightaway, enabling Brockport to clinch tire race and the meet. Four Buffalo athletes captured first places, and two victors were double winners. Mark Gabriel took the 100-yard dash in 10.1 seconds and set what is believed to be a school record 15.1 seconds in the 110-yard high hurdles. Bill Regan won the long jump with a leap of 20 feet, 10 inches and placed first in the javelin with a throw of 152 feet even. Regan also placed third in the 100-yard dash and ran a leg on the mile relay. Iii addition to Norton, who clocked 51.4 seconds in taking the quarter-mile UB’s other winner was Don Woodson, who led a Buffalo sweep of the 220-yard dash in 23.7 seconds. The Bulls also swept the long jump competition, and placed second and third in the triple jump. Matt Szkotak finished second in both the shot put and discus throw. The Bulls end their regular season this week with two invitational championship meets. The Big Four meet, with Niagara, Canisius and local powerhouse Buffalo State, will be held Wednesday afternoon on the Bengal’s campus. Saturday, May 5, the Bulls travel to Fredonia for the SUNYAC Kieran Lyons Championships. ® ~ *° Eagles were leading by four points; and with five points going to the winner of the relay and none to the second place finisher, the outcome of the meet was still in The Bulls trailed for the first three legs, but UB’s Dave Norton, who had won the 440 dash earlier, took the lead - Ganci hits. Umps strike Evidently a winter of intensive weight training has paid off for Phil Ganci, the Bulls’ designated hitter and would be catcher. Gangi, who has belted six hojne runs thus far in the season really put his power on display last Wednesday during the doubleheader with the Big Red of Cornell. Phil walked on to Peelle Field with tons of potential in his freshman year and easily played up to the type. But, as his carefer entered year two, he was beset by a series of nagging injuries that hindered his ability behind the plate. In the fall of his junior year, after testing his inflamed throwing shoulder in pre-season practice, Ganci was forced to undergo surgery to repair his inflamed tendons. His recovery was slow, and Ganci was limited to extremely light duty last spring. Bulls’ coach Bill Monkarsh regroomed Ganci along slowly, handing the brunt of the catching responsibilities to John Pederson for the fall 1978 campaign. Finally this spring, Ganci was available to make his first trip to Florida in four years. The most encouraging news that was Monkarsh was once again able to at place Ganci behind the plate least for limited action. health is good Ganci’s - —continued on page 18— Shut out by rain y Rain over the Northeast part of the U.S. forced Friday’s scheduled doubleheader with the University of West Virginia to be postponed.

The UB Coalition for Abortion Rights and Against Sterilization Abuse (CARASA) rallied to support the coverage in one of the hottest debates of the year. The debate culminated in a four-hour long open forum in Haas Lounge, organized by Sub Board to gather input on this year's policy. The Advisory Committee, comprised piimarily of University administrators and responsible to UB President Robert L. Ketter, must approve the student health insurance plan. The Committee in a 6-3 split, endorsed mandatory abortion coverage Wednesday The frlday Vol. 29, No. 84 / SUNY at Buffalo / 27 April 1979 Nuclear power ‘trial’ set for May 6 in D.C. by Denise Stumpo Managing The Editor The first anti-nuclear rally ever to strike out directly at the U.S. government will descend upon the steps of the Capitol next week to put nuclear power “on trial." The May March 6 on Washington is expected to be the largest anti-nuke ever, rally perhaps the size of the Vietnam war protests which occurred on the same site more than a decade ago. With politicians, entertainers, feminists, labor leaders, and Harrisburg evacuees prepared to attend this will not be your typical anti-nuke picket. "We’re politicizing the issue,” said organizer Donald Ross, also Executive Director of the New York Public Interest Research Group (NYPIRG). “This rally switches the focus away from the problems of specific nuclear plants and tell the will government that we are holding them accountable for what Ross happens,” told The Spectrum. “trial” will consist of testimony from NRC and U S. Tnergy officials, nuclear plant Jane workers, Fonda, congressmen and dozens of others on the hazards, viability, and alternatives to nuclear energy. Jackson Browne, Dick Gregory, and Dan Fogelburg are among the those who will provide music, song and commentary. In the works just for the past three weeks, the march has already received a tremendous amount of support nationwide, said Ross. The support of 175 organizations makes the May 6 Coalition the broadest based ever movement against power. Many never before stand,” Ross first time a spoken power.” atomic of these groups have taken an anti-nuke noted. “This is the labor president has out against nuclear William Winpisinger, president of the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers, has endorsed the March and a temporary moratorium on nuclear construction, and the Former Chairman of Sub Board Jane Baum said that the results of a Committee survey on student health insurance, which had a few questions pertaining to the abortion coverage, were not scheduled to be released until May I. Baum explained that she decided to hold Sub Board s vote on March 8 because the release of the report was scheduled too late in the semester to gather student input. Baum revealed that the results of some of the survey’s 57 questions, including those dealing with abortion, were tabulated for Wednesday’s Committee meeting. One question showed that two-thirds of those who bought student insurance this year favored the policy covering the cost of abortions. Nearly 50 percent favored some sort of option in an open-ended question on how the abortion coverage should be handled, with other responses covering a range of possibilities Amalgamated Meat Cutters union have issued a similar statement. Both will speak at the rally, converge on the Capitol Building after a march down students and residents to Washington. Round trip transportation tickets are $20 and are available at the NYl’IRG oflices, 356 Squire Hall, and at all officials Pennsylvania Avenue past the Buffalo food co-ops. If the various fund raisers planned, including Schuper House and Cold Spring Warehouse benefits, and a rummage sale, offset the $10,000 cost of the buses, transportation refunds will be made, according to NYPIRG. CANCHR also plans a Squire Hall symposium on nuclear power next Thursday, May 3, featuring both pro- and anti-nuke panelists. Students must take the lead as they have done in every major social movement in our country in the past two decades,” declared Bob Chlopak, project director of the May 6 Coalition, “Students helped launch the civil rights movement in the early 1960’s when they travelled to the South While House. Civil disobedience Declining to speculate on the size of the rally, Ross said instead that it will surely “be smaller than the next one,” He predicts that the march will set off a trend of nuclear activism in the next decade. “The rally will insure that nuclear power will be a 1980’s election issue.” he said The coalition has already $5000 private received in donations, Ross said, mostly from wealthy patrons of activist causes. Though the rally is billed as “peaceful and educational,” the nationwide Mobilization for Survival coalition is reportedly planning act of civil disobediance, that of occupying Department the of Energy to building. In contrast to government and officials, the "May 6 Coalition claims that nuclear power is not necessary to the U.S. economy. Nuclear power contributes only three percent of the total energy nation’s nyclear idusfry relatively On campus involvement Here at UB, the Coalition Against Nuclear Contamination and Economic Recklessness Ross amount,” remarked.

Finance Committee proposes next year's SA budget by Daniel S. Parker to the Director of Activities and Services budget, which last year received $14,500. The Finance Committee’s proposal boosts next year’s allocation to $24,000 NewsEditor The Student Association’s Finance Committee, after grappling with budget requests and limited resources, completed its proposed fiscal blueprint late Wednesday night. The Committee, which is mandated with apportioning the $900,000 collected in revenue trom mandatory student activity fees, in essence made very few changes from last year’s budget. As expected, two large chunks were $257,000 and $314,000 allocated to Athletics and Sub Board, respectively. This is SA’s third a in year four-year commitment to Athletics and last year Sub Board was budgeted $320,000. The Finance Committee was then faced with the task of dividing the remaining money close to 80 SA among organizations that requested funding. s The Committee’s task was complicated by an astounding $1 million in requests from the' various organizations since after the two Athletics and Governance - - allocations, only $339,000 left to divide. Money Confronted with sharp knife, was a small pie, a and lots of organizations clamoring for big pieces, the SA Finance Committee went to work. The group, which has been meeting for about three weeks, much of which will go towards a Springiest. Makes the world Almost all service organizations received slight increases. Sunshine House was boosted $2000; Community Action Coprs was raised $750 to $20,250; NYPIRG was hiked $4000 to $24,800; the Independents went from $2500 to $6000; while the Record Co-op received no allocation. addition In to monetary alterations, some administrative reshuffling also occurred. The Gay Liberation Front, which formerly fell under the special interest category, was budgeted as a for six and one-half hours in its final round before Wednesday night concluding its proposed budget. The Finance Committee’s budget is only a proposed version of how to spend SA’s revenues. The proposal must go before the Student Senate for approval. If the Senate fails to ratify a budget by the end of the semester, then the SA Executive Committee will be faced with the task of designing a budget over the summer. Not only did last year’s Executive Committee write a budget over the summer, but it major changes in the made Finance Committee’s original organizations, proposal. Although close sparred few significant alterations were made Wednesday in last year’s budget, allocations for both international clubs and student activities did receive major increases. International clubs, which includes the budget for the International Affairs Coordinator and individual Inside: Housing ‘discrimination’—P. 3 / minority organization. Minority organizations received a total budget last year of $41,000. This K«vin Pledged check on large allocations such as the Brazilian Club, last year received $12,000. to proposal The new calls for a hike to a move many SA officials necessary, deemed claiming international clubs were “underfunded” last year and $28,000 — “wisely” spent what money they had this year. The other major increase went Frank Capra lives—P. 7 / year’s total came approximately $40,000. The biggest to from an slice to its organization’s request proposed allocation occurred in the minority category. The Black Student Union (BSU), which last year received close to $17,000 had requested an increase to $96,000. However, the Finance Committee opted to provide BSU with $22,000 $74,000 less than Splendor at Clark Hall— P. 9 / it requested, but still $5000 more than last year’s allocation. Go round Slight cuts were proposed for academic clubs, office budget, and fee to Sub Board which acts as its disbursing agent. The biggest reduction clipped the Speaker’s Bureau budget. Last year Speaker’s Bureau received $27,850 and although it requested an increase this year, was sliced to SA’s - $20,000. SA Treasurer Kevin Bryant, also Finance Committee noted Chairman, that the proposed budget included “a few minor modifications.” Bryant said that last year’s budget “was also a good one” and that could explain why this year’s is so similar. The one area Bryant pointed to as last was inadequate year allocations for international clubs. “However,” he noted, “we’ve tried to improve that this year.” Eryant, who believes the budget will pass the Senate, revealed that he would like to keep close tabs “on organizations that have a lot of money.” He cited the long, hard work his committee has spent preparing a budget, remarking, “Overall, a good budget.” Everyone on the Committee, everyone felt it was that is.

The unanimous vote wrote the final chapter in the four month long debate. Despite a prediction made Monday by President for the Student Association of the State University (SASU) and student representative to the Board Steve Allinger, the 12 toO vote favoring a hike, included increasing tuition at the Law School here the only public jurisprudence institution in the Slate. Allinger, the only non-voting member on the Board conveyed his dissatisfaction Wednesday evening: “By raising tuition at UB, we charge the highest law school resident tuition in the country,”he said. According to Vice President of the UB Student Bar Association (SBA) Jay Marlin, SBA officials knew that the proposed Law School hike would go through on Tuesday. “If we had any chance of influencing the decision we would have sent a bus to New York on Wednesday, but (Law School) Dean Headrick spoke with people at the Chancellor’s Office Tuesday and was pretty much convinced the hike was certain,’ Marlin said that an ad hoc the Board of investigated the financial aspects and hardships of a Law School tuition hike and determined that financial aid would cover much of the increased burden. Yet, a recent $5000 maximum set on New York State Loans triggered fears that another increase on the amount which committee Crisis volunteers needed Crisis Services, a 24-hour, seven day per week crisis referral and emergency intervention service is seeking volunteers for its telephone counseling service.

UB Law students argue that they are still reeling from the effects of 1976’s $400 fee boost, and criticized the Trustees for increasing what is already one of the highest tuition rates for a state law school. “From the Dean’s first meeting with (SUNY Chancellor) Wharton when Headrick reported tuition facts and pointed out that New York State had only one public law school, everyone from the Chancellor on down admitted an increase was a mistake,” Marlin maintained. Yet in a March interview with The Spectrum SASU Legislative Director Larry Schillinger said, “The Trustees are hesitant to say they ever make a mistake.” Wednesday’s vote raises tuition for lower level undergraduates by $150; Medicine, Dentistry and Optometry by $300; and Law School by $200.

This year, according to Boyce, 130 new local students have applied for dorm rooms 30 more than the average. Director of Admissions and Records (A&R) Richard Dremuk told The Spectrum that he had received letters from parents who were upset that their children may not be able to live on campus as planned.'“Nowhere in any ot our materials (information mailed out to accepted applicants) did it mention the new rule," he said. Editor New guidelines for granting incoming students dormitory space will place freshmen and new students living within an 30 mile radius of the University at the bottom of the list. Housing Director Madison Boyce revealed that the change has angered some incoming approximate students and their parents. A number of local residents are unhappy, Boyce said, noting that some are threatening to go up the UB hierarchy or to their legislators. Boy told 77? rum that students attccted by the mile restriction new is discriminatory guideline were Fall crunch During the crunch last Fall, Dremuk noted a substantial number of out of town students turned away from UB when they were confronted with no place to live. However, Dremuk did not anticipate a recurrence of last year's attrition. He cited as last year's primary difficulty a 1978 freshmen class of almost 300 more students than are expected in 1979 and a larger number of returning students who last year sought on-campus housing Student Association Commuter Affairs Coordinator Christine Weekerle said site had not heard from disgruntled students or parents. Weekerle viewed the new guideline as discriminatory to local residents, but said, “Within my own mind, I can see the priority. ' She explained that out of town students do need dorm rooms more than area students, “although everyone wishing to live in the dorms should...be able to.” Weekerle would also like to see the University Administration “show more concern for students who must commute partially last summer's housing much” which left the university swamped with i requests and not enough bed space Boyce pointed out that the number of returning students predicted lor tins year spurred by figure, nearly 200 residents will leave the dorms during the semester, he estimated.

All proceeds will go to the busses to Washington. $1.00 admission and 25-cent drafts. A discount for resident advisors, a boost for the arts, and a proposed budget for next year were all ratified Monday by the Board of Directors of the Faculty-Student Association (FSA). Treasurer of the FSA Len Snyder's proposal, which would give RA’s a 30 percent discount on Food Service board contracts, passed cited several benefits that would result from the discount. He claimed it will increase the number of RA’s on board contracts from its relatively low 1 7 percent total now to a possible 40 or 50 percent figure. Snyder predicted that this increase will offset the cost of the discount to FSA, He also noted that “since the incoming freshmen and transfers’ initial contact at this University is through the RA, then the RA’s on board contracts might act as salesmen for participation in Food Service.” Snyder added that the increase in the number of RA s in the dining halls is seen as a beneficial influence on the behavior of other students. Presently, resident advisors receive either partial- or full funding for board contracts at 1 I other SUNY campuses. A proposal by President and student member of the Board Joe Darcy for the distribution of the remaining $176,000 from the sale of the University Bookstore to the Follett Bookstore Corporation also passed. Darcy’s proposal allocates $50,000 per year to programs “which would benefit the students’ social environment.” Darcy recommended that $25,000 be allocated this year towards a University-wide cultural affairs program. “Besides allowing students to become more involved in the cultural aspects of the University, one other benefit to the arts might be a boost irr receiving matching funds from various cultural foundations,” Darcy asserted. Also ratified was the establishment of a committee to suggest further programs from which future students with-changing needs would benefit. The committee would consist of representatives from several student organizations and one faculty representative. 1 Six proposals from various university groups for funding were rejected by Darcy.

Policing abortion coverage A Wednesday's 6-3 vote of the Health Insurance Advisory committee to approve the Student Health Insurance package with the mandatory abortion coverage intact is a relief; but we are concerned that three members of the committee would vote against a plan that was so responsibly prepared by Sub Board I, Inc., the student corporation. The committee's concern should not be whether Sub Board I, Inc. made what individual members feel is the correct decision on the abortion coverage. Rather, the committee should assure itself that Sub Board acted fairly and responsibly in coming to its decision to include mandatory, rather than optional abortion coverage. There is no legitimate place in the decision-making process for Administrators with strong feelings on an issue like abortion coverage to intrude, udder any banner. We are distressed that three members of the Committee felt justified in voting against the plan. Their votes show a clear lack of respect for the students' rights of self determination, regardless of whether their votes swayed the majority. We are uncomfortable with the tendency of the University to maintain bureaucratic babysitting devices that monitor student decisions on student matters. While there are legiti mate functions for the Health Insurance Advisory Committee to serve, one of them is not to act like moral policemen on a student issue as carefully weighed as abortion coverage. This Administration has a lot to learn about minding its own business. It starts with individual Administrators resisting the temptation to interfere where students have clearly acted responsibly. A timid failure One of the measures of a successful bureaucracy is how well it can respond to special cases that clearly require an exception to the rule. Well-designed and wisely operated institutions are not afraid to declare exceptions, or admit mistakes in not declaring exceptions originally. Unsuccessful bureaucracies consider rules commandments and are hesitant to treat, anyone as a special case for fear that the entire decision-making process will buckle under the pressure to justify an exception. SUN Y's handling of the Law School tuition issue is a clear example of the latter. The $200 hike in tuition at the State's only Law School made almost no sense. The increase will be almost meaningless to SUNY's bank account; yet it ups tuition a significant amount for students on tight budgets. According to School officials here, the hike hits the most qualified students harder, since they tend to come from lower or middle income families. Despite a great deal of evidence in favor of reversing the decision, the SUNY Board of Trustees plowed straight ahead with the increase saying, in effect, that it is unwilling to allow for exceptional circumstances. SUNY is fond of com plaining about the State's insensitivity; but the Law School tuition decision shows that SUNY is a failure in its own right and a timid one at that. clarification n deadline A statement Attempts The slat Alumni I ndowr to in Hipped n Street O I fc neglected v I n le pr aking a On Wednesday April rural IRC organization 18, IRC that x I BE.LIE.VE s THEREIN really /HN OIL SHORTAGE.

On divestment Recently, a few letters have appeared in this column in response to student protest of SUNY’s investment of over $7,000,000 in South Africa. Unfortunately, we feel the need to respond to a number of statements we perceive to he erroneous and even fallacious. Charging that the attention focused on the divestment issue is that of “selective morality” is simply not the case. It should be clear that one Cannot pragmatically initiate and implement economic boycotts against all countries guilty of human rights violations. That, of course, is an economically unsound. For maximum effect of a boycott, energies must be channeled towards those countries that have consistently displayed the most blatant forms of oppression and have been steadfast in their refusal to recognize human rights and dignity. South Africa has been the focus of much protest since the inception of the Nationalist government’s Apartheid policy. This system, which denies even basic human rights to the indigenous peoples, is recognized as the most brutal social and economic system existing in the “civilized” world today. Opposition to the Pretoria government has been consistent over the years by various worldwide organizations. The awareness of SUNY’s implication in the South African system has only come to light within the last few years. As a result of this, students have been mobilizing on a number of SONY campuses (Binghamton, Oneonta, Albany and UB). Unfortunately, some people have deemed this issue not “worthy of outcry.” The police machine in South Africa is so thorough that outcry is often not heard and when it is, harshly suppressed (e g Soweto and Sharpesville). The euphemism “police abuse was used in one of the letters implying that what is happening in South Africa are isolated incidents of police misconduct. Certainly, this is not true. The police organization, to include the Bureau of State Security (B.O.S.S.), are direct arms of the government’s apartheid policy. Thousands have been murdered, tortured and illegally imprisoned, while others have mysteriously disappeared under this brutal police machine. Rights for prisoners (black prisoners, that is) are non-existent, as the prison murder of the black leader Stephen Biko and this month’s hanging of one of the Soweto uprising leaders, Solomon Mahlangu, will bear witness. The system of apartheid is a system that insures high profits by exploiting valuable mineral resources and a cheap ubiquitous labor force. It is also quite clear that the United States will not move significantly against this system that provides such lucrative returns. And, to insure continued high returns, the governments of the United States and South Africa maintain close diplomatic ties, to include the exchange of ambassadors. It is evident that a change in this racist system will not come from within this political and social structure. The withdrawal of foreign investments to South Africa will precipitate a collapse ot the existing regime. Direction, at this point, can and will be undertaken by the indigenous peoples. Divestment of the $7,000,000 from SUNY is just one of the means that can be used in speeding this process. And certainly, the $7,000,000 can be re-invested in areas that prove to be both economically feasible and socially beneficial. But presently, investment policies have been made without regard to its social consequences. And finally, the University community has a moral responsibility to insure that investment of this money is a reflection of our ideals. Elizabeth R Boronow Jerry Kaplan Buffalo Committee Against Apartheid �dayfridayfridayfridayfridavf' To the Editor. In response to a “Blundering IRCB," Mr. Cohen would sound infinitely more intelligent if he would research the facts before writing a letter to The Spectrum . FACT: IRCB confirmed all stops on all of the buses with Grayhound’s chartering agents located in New York City FACT: The Bus Driver who said Greyhound was not c ontacted was obviously wrong. Perhaps (ireyhound s chartering agents did not inform the drivers of the correct route. IRCB deals with the agents of t he company, not the drivers. A flow of communication within the chartered company is assumed to take place. FACT: If the missed stop was not a (ireyhound mistake, please explain why Greyhound provided a free bus to transport these people back to Buffalo? Although we have tried to convince Greyhound to provide transportation for free, they insist upon charging us. Greyhound will not provide tree transportation for other organizations' mistakes. FACT: IRCB only receives letters to The Spectrum when a catastrophe occurs, regardless of where the blame should be placed. Three IRCB officials were responsible for obtaining another Greyhound bus on May 4th (the night before feedback departure). This action was taken solely for the benefit of persons who were stranded in Buffalo. Have we heard a world of praise about this? FACT: IRCB does not force anyone to use its travel service. We can only offer the quality of the carrier that we charter, at a very reduced price. IRCB does not deal in a world comprised solely of dormitory students. We must conduct business with outside firms in order to provide the services that the majority of students need. Please do not blame IRCB for circumstances that arise that are beyond our span of control. John Sandmeier Business Manager. IRCB Inc Guest Opinion On the crisis of students in capitalist America I feel to be the crisis of this university. The crisis is one of direction rat her than content. The crisis is one of moral behav lor. The crisis is one of competition and hatred. The crisis is the role of students in Capitalist America. Many of us come into this University at the age of 17 or 18. We have gone to school all of our lives, some of us have worked, some have not, some of us have traveled, some have not, all of us have not hXPHRIHNCHD. High school was primarily a socializing process, getting us prepared for college, but not really teaching us anything that we hadn’t learned before. High school is a time of strong friendships and for many of us not too many worries. It has already been decided for us in elementary school what our future will be. IQ tests given to us as youngsters have determined whether we will be doctors or garbagemen. (Do you remember in elementary school, there was the one class, two class, three class, etc., and then in junior high school your “advisors” told you whether to go to either an academic high school or a technical high school; well these decisions were not made randomly, after looking at your IQ scores you became “tracked” at a certain level) After being “chosen” to go to an academic high school, we had to decide which college we would go to. We took SAT's and Regent Scholarship tests and sent our applications to various colleges. For most of us who go to public universities the choice was narrow. We could not afford private education so we went to a SUNY school. Around March of our senior year in high school the choice is made, some of us will go to school in our home towns, and others will go out of town and "live on their own.” The friendships that we have made in high school are now cor B to each other. High school has ended friendships begin and the first major crisis in one’s life must be resolved. ‘‘What is my major going to be and what kind of courses will I take?” There are different ways you can resolve this problem. You can try to pick a major that will make you rich, you can study what would make your parents happy, you can study what would make you happy, or you can go to an advisor. Most of us go to our advisors. Now, we become tracked again, if we are male and come from a good school, we will take calculus and chemistry, if you are a woman you will take English and theater courses and if you do not come from such a good school you will take social science courses. So now at 18 we begin our college “education.” Most of us will go to classes in lecture halls, some of us will sleep through them and others will not. For the most part many of us continue in college as we had gone through high school, we either go from class to class without interest, or we continue partying all day long, or we study hard without knowing why. hor many freshmen, college is nothing more than an extension of high school. But at the age of 18 it isn’t important to worry about the future. Most of us are still receiving money from our parents, or from loans, or are getting aid. We are still insulated from the world. By the second year of college we have a major and continue our education. By the time we become juniors and seniors the future becomes more important to us. We begin to worry about our lives and where we are going. Suddenly, what we are doing becomes important, we are not in high school anymore. This is the “period of finding oneself.” We begin to face many crises in our lives. One crisis we come to terms with is the continuing deception of our education. All through our lives we were told that the next level of deviations but wt ar arc crazy would he different; in ju lior high school the teacher told you that high schoc I would be different; in high school, college was m ade out to be a kin id ot wonderful, f in college we are told to study hard and what co ursc to take in order for us b ) get into a "good" grac u ate school.

On is most of us go By the end to advisors win second year we have a ii or In our pin senior years we start to feel e crisis that stu dents in Capitalist America nui ist fee 1 The crisis ct unsatisfactory. Another major crisis for many of us is that of a social life. With adulthood and "maturity” come the difficult concepts of love and death to deal with. Many of us must face marriage, indeed for many women college was supposed to be nothing more than a happy hunting ground. What is love? Must it be for one or can it be for many? What is the purpose of a life that will eventually lead to death? We all ask ourselves these questions and must come to terms with them. The crisis comes because of the uncertain position that we as students hold in the world. The contradictions of capitalism are all around us and everpresent. We lead an absurdly easy life in comparison with most of the world. Oppression is something loreign to us, it hits us in proportion to the amount that we read the New York Times. When Tom Clark wrote a letter to The Spectrum last week saying that he felt that the UB anti-apartheid club were ridiculous because they were not consistent, he was showing the naiveness and elitism that many students show in their view of the world. Instead of looking at the terrible suffering of a people in South Africa and saying that we should all call for the future; and (3) our socii al lives. The cri isis must come about because of tl hrec reasons: (1) our position in the world; (2) we were picked by corporate America to he its next leaders; and (3) the secrecy and self-centered reality of our lives. The crisis, which is our lives, cannot be resolved using the traditional tools of bourgeoise knowledge (everything you have learned to date). Only with the use of a new Knowledge can we resolve the crisis. This new Knowledge is Marxism. Marxism allows us to “see” the factors that are creating the crisis, it allows-you to escape from the crisis. You cannot understand education using bourgeois tools. You will still feel the crisis, Lducation must be looked at from outside. Marxism allows you to do this because it is not bound by ideology, it represents everyone in their lived experience. Bourgeois tools on the other hand only show a society shaded by bourgeois interests. Let me give some examples: (I) Ralph Nader’s analysis of America which he presented at his spi'eech two weeks ago is based on a Marxist knuwl■ edge. Nader referred to the narrow nature of law compared to what should be studied He st <v studies referre (I to the tact that (1M wants ns to perceive m taking the committee was Our “in” issue consciences must be constantly mediated between our situation and the harsh and terrible realities of many of the world’s peoples. Another reason for the crisis in our lives is that we were picked by corporate America to be its next leaders. Through IQ tests, SAT’s and various other ways, we are here at UB being trained to enter the corporate labor force. We are taught that we are a little better than the working men, we are taught elitism and competition (through the guise of a high standard of education, etc., e.g., it is interesting to note that in The Spectrum's coverage of the awards that were given to certain teachers in this school, what was stressed was that UB got the sixth most amount of awards in the country. It was never mentioned what the teachers were studying in order to get the awards). We become a little uneasy about the future. Maybe 1 don’t want to work for a corporation. Maybe I don’t want to be a “success.” Maybe I just want to be a construction worker or garbageman. The final reason Mr the crisis is that we live in a secretive and self-centered reality. We very rarely let our deepest emotions loose. Many times we lie about our emotions. How many times have you tried to console somebody after something bad had happened to them, only for them to tell you that what had happened to them didn’t bother them. But you knew it bothered them, you could feel it. Most of us can’t cry or laugh. We all try to live up to some kind of superman image, the man on the football team, with a 95% average and a “beautiful” girlfriend; or the woman who is “cute” marries a doctor and raises many wonderful children. We all know we can’t live up to these images, hut we are afraid to admit it "for the next person may be able to. We all know that we have certain problems and ” mics a takes as ( a starling point, five percent ploytnenl; with tins kind of assumption it is clear who’s interest classical economics is (3) Just think about the meaninglessness of one’s life uml&t hourgeoise ideology. Kven the most “successful” of us will work 50 week years, with two week vacations; almost all of us will work for a menial (compared to how much the Rockefellers Kennedys, Hunts, etc. make) wage for the rest of our lives. Think of the goal of bourgeoise ideology. It is to make more profits, not to make for a better world. Everything we confront has a price on it. Nothing is sacred from profits. The point being made here is that Marxism is able to understand bourgeoise Knowledge for what it is; an attempt by a class to dominate the whole society and the majority of the people of the world. The crisis for us occurs because when we look around we sense that something is wrong. Well, SOMETHING IS WRONG WHEN A TINY CLASS OF PEOPLE CONTROLS THE WHOLE WORLD. When we look at examples of giant plantation owners in the banana republics who give their workers menial wages and lousy working conditions we become repulsed, but in many important ways our situation is not very different than the workers on the plantations. We are wage slaves, we will have to work our whole lives (even though the technology exists for this not to be), and worst of all, we are under bourgeoise control. Every student in every discipline in this University could begin to remove himself from his crisis only with a study of Marxism. We could then perhaps try to relate to each other as humans and not as commodities and could understand. The revolution must begin with ourselves because without it we ourselves will suffer. representing. Right on. { w �(D » A. 6 3 LA W VI • UJ.

When Capre worked in the 1930's, studios wert the boss, dictating every move in filmmaking. But Capra, working at what was then the smallest studio (Columbia) was a maverick, making films without interference. “1 simply traded money for power," Capra said, "I knew Columbia would love to save money and I wanted very much to have complete control ol my films.” Other directors in the 1930’swere not as lucky as Capra. "Many studios dictated how the picture would be made," Capra recalled, "and they were hesitant to give directors publicity. MGM, for instance, had some of the best directors in the business but no one ever knew it." Director’s medium Legendary filmmaker Frank Capra visits UB —Korotkin Frank Capra Puts magic into movies Talks about past, present and future of cinema by Flarvey Shapiro "Films should be made by one man, not a community. If it’s not, won't come off. Director Frank Capra There are many theories on how to make films, but “one man, one film” is an idea that 83 year-old film director Frank Capra has pushed since the 1920’s. While here on a two-day visit last week under the auspices of the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences, the UB FHistory Department and the Center for Media Studies, Capra, looking it " - Capra explained to history and film classes here why the director should control production of a movie. "Making a film is like asking a writer to author a book by first writing paragraph 91, then paragraph 34, skipping around until he’s finished," he said. In other words, films are not shot sequentially but rather are shot to make the most use of time and money. Obviously, with so much jumping around, actors can forget exactly where their character is in the movie. "Only one person knows where you are when making the film and that’s the director," Capra said. "He always knows what a character is going through, how far the theme has been developed and how a scene fits in to the overall movie. I hat is why film is a director’s medium." films today do not quite meet up to Capra’s standards of moviemaking. "Too many of today's films are made for money and not for art," he said. Unlike the I930’s, moviemaking is no longer in the hands of moviemakers but huge corporate conglomerates. Budgetary decisions, rather than artistic quality, is the determining factor in all facets of production. "That is why you have so many copies. When something is popular, the movies will copy the fad to its grave," Capra said. Still, there are some young directors that excite Capra. "I think very highly of about six filmmakers today. They are people who know what it’s all about." Capra cited Francis Ford Coppola, Steven Speilberg, George Lukas and Martin Scorcese as filmmakers with a vision. He reserved judgement on Michael Cimino until seeing The Deer Hunter. Capra added that making films today is harder than in the past due to the lack of financing. "In the old days, studios had free credit at the bank and could acquire capital at any time. Today, one man must raise the money from various sources and you need larger sums of money to make films," Capra commented. Reactive character Although saying no textbook or person could teach someone how make a film and stage scenes, Capra, before a film class, expounded on some of the theories he used. Interestingly, Capra never preferred that an actor memorize lines. “If they did I would change them on the spot. When actors memorize lines the scene becomes stale. I want that to -continued on page The craft of a Capra film Optimistic voices resound by Ross Chapman Whatever else one might say about Frank Capra, his place in film history cannot be denied. Flis persistent belief, born of innocence, that films should be made by one man rather than a committee of producers was instrumental in securing artistic control for other directors: John Ford, Floward Flawks, Nicholas Ray and others. What he did was to bring the auteurism of the silent cinema into the monolithic studio system of the sound era. But he didn’t do this with mere persistence. His commercial successes beginning with It Happened One Night (1934) proved that a personally produced film could be a highly profitable one. His small budget films relied more on direction and writing than spectacle for effect The populism and folksy humanism of his works appealed to an economically depressed nation and set before its audiences Capra’s ideas on how we might overcome hardship and oppression. His message is clear and consistent; no matter how hopeless the scenario might be, no matter how powerful one’s enemies might be, the pluck and simple values of ordinary people can and must prevail. Of course, this sentiment might appear simplistic and another example of what some have called "Capra-corn.” But while this jibe is somewhat deserved, it is also a result of the present cynical vogue and mild myopia. First of all, whether or not Capra is a naive sentimentalist, it cannot detract from the skill with which he brings his message to the screen. Although he was not a cinematic innovator, his best films, the so-called "comedies of manners” [It Happened One Night, Mr. Deeds Goes To Town, You Can't Take It With You, Mr. Smith Goes To Washington, Meet John Doe, and It's A Wonderful Life), represented the day’s state of the film art. He used the repetoire of directorial and editing devices to achieve maximum and precise effect. The speech scenes in Meet John Doe (1941) show a masterful control of cinematic elements to bring out the desired nuances that make those sequences so memorable. But I do not completely agree that Capra’s themes are puerile. He is an optimist without saying that all’s right with the world. Many of his films are processions into nightmares. Jimmy Stewart is driven to suicide in It’s A Wonderful Life (1947) and he meets impossible odds in Mr. Smith Goes To Washington (1939). Nor is he saying that all’s right with people. In Meet John Doe, the crypto-fascist Mr. Arnold is able to use Gary Cooper to manipulate the masses and he is equally able to destroy him by turning the fickle crowds against him. Capra’s optimism lies in his faith that people and values will overcome these dark forces. And this is where Capra falters. In these films, he spends a great deal of time showing us how great the power of villians are and how easily they can make life miserable. But he pulls back from this black realism by staging unlikely last minute rescues. In Mr. Smith Goes To Washington, the final turn of fortune occurs literally in the last sixty seconds. John Doe is saved from suicide in Meet John Doe by an improbable congregation on top of a skyscraper and Jimmy Stewart is rescued from a similar fate in It's A Wonderful Life by an angel from heaven. This is a consistent and not an accidental featurp;of his films. In early silents with Harry Langdon (Tramp, Tramp, Tramp; The Strong Man, and Long Pants), he used the miraculous escape to extricate child-like Langdon from impossible predicaments. Furthermore, Capra draws his conflicts in terms of villians and saintly heroes, making the unfolding moral struggle almost a foregone conclusion. But still and all, Capra's, films are pleasant experiences despite their ethical simplicity. Capra is above all an entertainer and he does this supremely well. And in the end, Capra’s artistry lies not in his message, but in the craft with which he gives his message life and feeling. ‘ 14— �Fcar Itself m I Ol You sit on the bus, Rosary beads like brass knuckles clenched in fear of black men shooting craps to divvy up your purse-held wealth We come here, free of fear they give us their’s; heirlooms handed down - to sons you, poor dear have claimed the whole estate Pity Paula Brzyski No Michaelangelo The web connecting wall to wall, pretends to hold each on to stand Tensed, not taut it feathers light and gives it hues no prism could A work of art yet who’d display one on their wall? with tenant leasing private rooms to flys who seldom stay for tea, not a very cordial host.

Conductor Michael Tilson Thomas led the orchestra through "Symphony No. 4” by Beethoven, “Symphony No. 5” by Sibelius, and Ravel’s "Symphonic Poem, La Valse.” In addition to offering great music by a fine symphony orchestra, the concert confirmed the populist notion that classical music can by' fully appreciated without the trimmings of a formal concert hall. The formal attire of the Orchestra’s musicians seemed out of place among the mostly student audience, which filled three-quarters of Clark Hall’s gymnasium. Seated leisurely on blankets, pillows and bleachers, the students could have easily passed for a rock concert crowd. The rubber matting layed down to the floor emitted a protect pungent odor, which, if nothing else, was a constant reminder of the unconventional setting. The music was precise and dynamic as I have ever heard from the Buffalo Philharmonic, and the audience was so enthused by the performance and, unconcerned with protocol that it applauded enthusiastically between movements of the symphonies as well as at their conclusions. All this with none of the — — coughs, sneezes and other assorted bodily functions that always seem to fill the air during rests and soft passages at symphonic concerts. Unfettered by tradition, most of the students were there to simply tune-in the music, leaning forward to get as close to the musicians as possible and rocking to Beethoven, Sibelius and Ravel. Few lost interest and even fewer dozed off. Much of the credit for the re.axed but attentive atmosphere must go to Michael Tilson Thomas, the Orchestra's renowned conductor who gave lively and quick-moving explanations before each work. Of the 4th Symphony, Tilson Thomas remarked, "This piece has gotten better over the years," as well it has, with more and more listeners learning to appreciate the less severe symphonies of Beethoven. Although far more jovial than the more popular 3rd, 5th and 9th Symphonies, the 4th may well be the richest in musical content of all the Beethoven Symphonies. Etheral interplay Tilson Thomas described Jean Sibelius as a man “obsessed with the exact sounds of natural processes” who was greatly influenced by his native Finland. The audience chuckled warmly at Tilson Thomas’ Finland-Buffalo comparison: "It’s grey I feel so at home there." In the "5th Symphony (cl915),’’ Sibelius employs the same kinds of eerie and mysterious motifs that flow through his earlier works using one or two motifs in varied form - - dispersing of complicated musical hybrids and refreshing lyrical ideologies, Random Radar has metamorphosized into the prime stockhold of both English and American eccentrics. Direct from the Crimso school of thought that which encouraged a struggling (and oft times ugly) blend of classical motifs, off-beat rhythms and important electrical defiance the artists that grace the roster of the Random Sampler present a true return to (and in the case of some of the artists, a continued extension of), the imagistic composing of the likes of Henry Cow or early Gentle Giant or possibly Steve Reich. Of the artists in question Logproof, Lol Coxhill, Steve Feigenbaum, Mars Everywhere, Fred the Frith, Illegal Aliens, The Muffins trans-Atlantic split is pretty even; The Muffins, Illegal Aliens and Mars Everywhere being the American by-product of some organized musician swapping at Catch-A-Buzz Studios; Fred Frith and Chris Cutler and Dagmar Krause continuing explorations in the guise of the second generation Henry Cow amalgam: The Art Bears. Beyond their ability to organize and distribute the most viable strains of the "progressive” mode (remember that at this point, with the possible exception of Yes and Gentle Giant, bands such as Kansas, Styx or even later Genesis do not apply to the challenging brand of sounds that were originally termed “progressive.”), the major distinguishing quality of Random Radar Records is that of sincere undoubtedly which is non-commercialism, responsible for the experimental freedom and aesthetic packaging the artists on this label experience. The members of the corporation consider themselves as “a collective, each member having an equal say.” Note that despite their independence, the products emerging from this label are of quality equal to that of the major recording - - — — « ? Philharmonic thioughout the piece but allows orchestra more textural opulence throughout. The result is a more expansive work than his previous symphonies, thereby making "Sibelius’s 5th,” according to Tilson Thomas, "incredibly beautiful and incredibly menacing at the same time.” Ravel’s "La Valse (1920),” the final piece on the program, is as sophisticated a musical parody (in this case on the Waltz), as has ever been composed. As Tilson Thomas colorfully informed the audience, the waltz was so the rage of 19th Century Vienna that those who could afford to, would spend all of their lives learning how to dance it properly. What made learning to waltz so difficult was that each new piece of magic demanded a step all its own. The Orchestra gave credible performance of the three works on the program. The strings commenced the evening in powerful fashion, amply filling the gym with the first theme of the 4th Symphony’s exposition. In both the first movement of the Sibelius and the second movement of the Beethoven, there is an etheral interplay between the winds and the strings Mich»«l Tilton Thomw the which requires utmost Final waves of the baton sensitivity and precision.

Always appealing to the lowest common denominator to hawk the ware of sponsors before the largest possible throng, TV must level its effects to brute fundamentals: sex, violence, righteousness and sentimentality. The special, idiocyncratic qualities that badge the work of an artist and that require of the audience the exertion of appreciation get rubbed down to a mean statistical norm. TV, instead of presenting feeling and drawing us in, will more often than not lunge out to wring from us gross palpitations. ABC’s production of Friendly Fire (aired last Sunday) was infected by this electronic debility. Dramatizing an Iowa farm family’s stubborn search for the truth about their son’s accidental death in Vietnam, Friendly Fire seizes us by our tear glands and squeezes hard. Director David Green and telewriter Fay Kanin pull hard punches. The son, Michael Mullen (Dennis Erdman), is a blonde, clear-skinned boy with tender blue eyes and a fine jaw. The camera gives us big closcups of his face as he dutifully docs his chores. Why the cm JWpvies—^ The Hurricane' blows over Dino loses again with big one attempting to entertain the public his with Friendly Fire' is a tear-jerker in a literal sense: it is Jerklng-off our tear ducts. I must resent this appeal to my near-involuntary responses . . . closeups? We know. We saw the ad and we know this is a story of a boy who gets killed in Vietnam. These closeups are our first and last look of a doomed child and when mother Peg (Carol Burnett) comes out in the yard to ask him if he’s all packed for tomorrow, the lumps are already forming in our throats. Later, after they learn of Michael’s death, they open the tackle box where he kept his favorite things. Father Gene (Ned Beatty) shatters into tears. The lump thickens. When Michael’s body finally returns, Peg approaches the casket in a shaky, subjective tracking shot until she (and we) sees the pallid but still boyish countenance. By this time, our eyes brim. Oh yes. Green and Kanin play the calculus of tears exceedingly well Now I would be a liar if I said that Friendly Fire did not disturb me far and away beyond the moist eyes of the duration. Even now, two days later, it upsets me to think back on it. But the question for me as a critic is: am I moved because I came in contact with real suffering (not my own) or because of some incidental signification on my part? I must admit to the latter. Vietnam was the boogie man of my childhood. Some feared the dark or the late night "creature feature;" I found my fetid, unreasoning fears in the evening news. My bad dreams were jagged constructions of uniformvbayonets, bullets and bombs. Often they still are. thus anything made and not utterly botched about Vietnam lends to disturb me profoundly. But if I subtract this purely subjective clement I brought into the experience of watching Friendly Fire, what is left in the way of honest feeling? Something to be sure, but not much. First, we must distinguish between the feeling impressed upon the medium by the artist and feeling which arises almost as an automatic reflex to manipulative stimulus. A dead puppy or an old woman falling down a flight of stairs can’t help but produce certain responses in most of us. An artist who deliberately uses these is massaging our tears from us, forcing them rather than earning them. This happens much too often in Friendly Fire. It is a tear-jerker in a literal sense: it is jerking off our tear ducts, I must resent this appeal to my near-involuntary responses, presented as if I were a tear-anger-fear-arousal machine. Fortunately, not all the sorrow I felt arose from push button responses. At many points, the writing and the actors were able to communicate what, by process of elimination, must be something of the real grief felt by the Mullens: the obsessive, consuming sense of loss. Quietly, unobtrusively, Peg or Gene makes some casual remark as if Michael were still near and when they (and we) remember that he is dead, the sorrow is real. "If Michael saw this lawn," Peg says frowning at grass trampled by renegade pigs, "he’d just die.” Carol Burnett shakes her head lightly, then remembering, ducks her eyes down a bit. That hurts. But most of the time, by strenuously trying to choke us up, Friendly Fire chokes off all but a few moments of the Mullens true life sorrow. And this is a fault with all tear-jerkers and with television in general: by reaching for those readily accessible responses/it passes up the real emotion seen in art that sticks with you long after the tube has gone dead. So I would say in regard to Friendly Fire: don’t confuse tears on your part with the transmission of feelings on their part. —Ross Chapman dollar multi-million productions for awhile now and each time he seems to bore the audiences a little more.

Many times, we are left wondering how washed away. Also, Troell and Semple create the plot progresses. Watching this ridiculous scenario during the Hurricane is much like reading only alternate chapters of a novel storm. We have all heard of the Semple’s by Harvey Shapiro flops. De Ldurentis’s Hurricane is a remake of the 1937 John Ford film of the same name. The story is altered for the worst, with the storm given top billing over cultural and generational conflict. In this production (set in the 1920’s), a Navy captain’s daughter (Mia Farrow) arrives at American occupied Pago Pago to visit her father (Jason Robards). Within a day she meets and falls in love with the High Chief of the local natives (Dayton Ka’ne), much to the Captain's distaste. Had the properly, been made film generational and cultural drama could have been explored in Hurricane. Unfortunately, the potential fiery conflict is doused the by conclusion’s actual Miscast As for De Laurentis’ all-star cast, it would be better if he casted for the part rather than for the star. Jason Robards seems confused as the father angered by the romance between his daughter and the native Chief. At times he is a ruthless Governor, at times he is the compassionate father and at other moments, he appears to be more interested in his daughter sexually than parentally. Robards' hurricane. Thinking big names will do his work for him, De Laurentis, as usual, has signed an "all-star” cast and Jan Trocll (The director Emigrants, The New Land). In addition, he assigned Lorenzo Semple Jr. (most famous for the Batman TV series) to write the script. Semple's major problem is the failure end to his story convincingly. He infuses a somewhat interesting plot with dramatic possibilities; but the resolution of the conflict never comes when De Laurentis shows off his hurricane expensive (which, incidentally, comes out of nowhere). Native chief carries Mia Farrow The question is: 'who carries the film?' captain sinking with his ship, but Hurricane has to be the first instance in which the captain, during the height of the storm, wades out from the shore to go down with the ship. Equally unrealistic is the photographing of the hurricane which we can tell is the same shot repeated. The net effect is a very dull and blown out storm. Finally, Troell and Semple turn the drama into a sick joke. When a boat inexplicably crashes into a building where people are taking refuge, the audience laughs confusion results from Troell’s ineffective direction. As the daughter, Mia Farrow is limp. Newcomer Ka’ne is as stale as week old bread in the native lover role. Two other stars, Max Von Sydow and Trevor Howard, are lost in the Hurricane. De Laurentis could have saved money by letting Troell and Semple concentrate on the conflict between the native and the Captain instead of wasting the bucks on the staging of the storm. Some beautiful photography and scenery of the tropics is all that is enjoyable in the film. Trevor Howard unwittingly sums it up when he says in the hurricane’s midst, "What have they done.

Director France Zeffirelli and screenwriter Walter Newmann of around in our viscera trying to make us cry but succeeding only in tickling us. In the end, the film is something of tumble an unintentional comedy. The Champ is distilled essence of Florida; pink, humid and swampy. The film is so sated with lender moments, moist eyes and cloying closeups that the whole business feels like a mound of unflavorcd. The Champ gelatin is the loving story of a lovable lug named Billy Flynn, who used to be a champion boxer, but now takes care of horses at the lovely Hialeah race track in Miami. There he lives with his lovable little boy, T.)., who he loves and who loves him very, very much. As a gift for this little tyke that always calls him "Champ,” Billy gives T.). a beautiful racehorse which T.J. cares for lovingly and through which he meets fashion designer Annie, a tall, handsome lady who happens to be his mother (though he doesn’t know it) and who, we learn, though she is now married to a gerontologist who loves her, still bears love for Billy (and now little T.). too) despite certain misunderstandings. Well, in the end, Billy dies after making a spectacular comeback and everyone loves everybody and it’s all very touching and tender. So much for the screenplay. Going for the easy sob Apparently, Franco Zeffirelli swallows this great glob of sugar. By his own admission, Zeffirelli was so affected as a child by the original film made in 1931 by King Vidor ("I cried cverytimc I thought about it, for many weeks afterward”), that he wanted to share his tears with the audiences of the seventies. But this is a mistake. Not only is it to go for some accessible response like a sob rather than dealing with real emotions (as opposed to their manifestations) damp but Zeffirelli is so earnest about doing reprehensible muffled in audience laughter it, we notice more his enthusiasm than his weepy intentions. Furthermore, he is as clumsy as he is earnest. A friend of mine said, ' He has one of the shakiest senses of framing I’ve ever seen.’' Zeffirelli often looks as if he has behind him, her face close to his She turns to reveal (to us) her hidden love for T.|., her mouth camera. His choice of shots is often absurd. We are treated with inadvertently introduces a taint of almost brushing his ear. The resonance is Sexual: we almost expect her toAtart tongueing him.

Sister Moon and TV's Jesus of Na/arelh), he had the benefit ot often good and at least competent acting. But not so in The Champ )on Voight and Faye Dunaway, who have given excellent performances in the past, need a firm hand to bring out their special abilities. They also need to be well cast. Voight is terribly miscast as a lug with diction and histrionic mannerism. (You know, the sort of guy who wears his hats backwards and makes a fool of himself in bars.) Voight is a sensitive actor of the face and voice; the hammy physicalily of slurred Ricky Schroder L igh ts up on cue meaningless vistas of flapping flamingoes (one of the tackiest birds in the animal kingdom) and a soundtrack of calypso music (though the film virtually ignores location).

In one shot, where T.J. is reacting violently to the news that JANE FONDA & m/)t V'** JACK LEMMON Annie is his mother, Zeffirelli uses a wide-angle distortion lens from a low angle position to make Annie look as if she were twenty feet tall. And he commits what has to be one of the most hilarious faux pas in recent cinema. When Annie is first entertaining T.J she has to conceal her identity and her feelings from him.

The blend within the section and the section’s balance within the Orchestra was seldom off. When a section blends well, it becomes difficult to discriminate between the various instruments. The total sound is thus bigger and more exquisite than the sum of the parts. When the brass got a chance to really show off, as in the first movement of the Sibelius (at the key change to B Major) or in the Ravel, the result was truly glorious and not a bit overstated. One criticism, and it is a small one, concerns the second theme (banging of Thor’s hammer), of the final movement in the "Sibelius Symphony.” The series of half notes played by the french horns was not attacked as aggressively nor did they ring out as brilliantly as the part called for. The listener should be swept away by the enormity of this famous theme. In contrast, the short trumpet solo in the Allegro Moderate of the first movement, was played with considerable warmth and Expression to the point of* being tastefully schmaltzy. The blend in the woodwind section suffered throughout most of the evening. Although individual passages were often played exceptionally, (such as the bassoon solo in the first movement). But despite some musical problems in the performances, the Orchestra did fine justice to these works. A great deal of the praise must go to Tilson Thomas, who never loses control on the podium. Although many times he will vary from his standard conducting position (left arm curled at his side, right arm slightly erect and in front of him), his motions are always fluid and precise. Often he will step dramatically toward a section (rocking his feet forward and back), when it is their turn to enter, or motion to them in the most demonstrative fashion, but subtly or overtly, he is always in command. When a conductor is firmly in control, the Orchestra is noticeably attentive. During the final bars of Ravel’s "La Valse,” with the demonic possession of the Waltz nearly complete, there is a complex matrix of activity throughout the orchestra. Tilson Thomas coordinated the various parts so adroitly that the perverse intensity of the piece reached a climax that almost shook sturdy Clark Hall. With the students well aware that he would never appear before them again, Tilson Thomas was given a three-minute standing ovation. He returned to the podium twice, and each time smiled warmly to the audience, clasped his hands in front of him, and bowed thankfully in return.

Here, touching “Emeralds” section of jewels, the one’s temporary partner, whether usually flexible, graceful and male or female, was communal — by Harold Goldberg I do not particularly wish to quote Clive Barnes in a review, but for the purpose of contrasting the New York City Ballet’s performance here with those in its home city, he will do. f irst off, in a rather lackluster performance at the Shea’s theater (sponsored by the Friends of Buffalo) on opening night, the Ballet presented choreographer and company director George Balanchine’s extravaganza, jewels. Back in 1967, when the three part dance was debuted, Barnes said that “It is open to doubt whether Balanchine has ever created a work in which the inspiration was so sustained, the invention so imaginative, or the concept so magnificent." This lavish praise was added to the comparison to the Globe Theater Troupe made by the Friends of Buffalo earlier in the day at a press conference; so the ballet had its work cut out for it that evening. And consequently, excitement was not really buried by boredom but by near tedium. One reason may be "our” fault. As far as it goes, Balanchine has prided his company on the lack of having a star system, but for press given Baryshnikov /"and Peter Martins, therethe idea, especially outside New York, that these ballet folk are celebrities, tried and true. Along with being perfect and flamboyant actors on and offstage, they are expected to dance, to evoke feeling as might a subtle Seurat painting. And if they’re billed as the kin of Shakespeare artistically, they must keep the prestige they have earned, covef the esteem they've been given T even if Misha and Martins don't appear. The hype expects too much; legendary the company > is not; nor is Baryshnikov as great as is said; Noverre is legendary; Noverre is dead. Shea's stage flawed *■ Maybe the Ballet was simply tired of doing Jewels, but this is easily disproven. During the afternoon, the company practiced with vigor and excitement. Merrill Ashly appeared quite lithe and at the same time speedy while premier principal dancer Suzanne Farrell (who took time out to greet a child whose mother said she wanted to dance when she grew up) was mysterious, demure but energetic. Sean Lavery was jumping well, to say the least. And tall. One thing is certain the company is not used to the Shea’s stage which makes any sort of unbalanced footfall a loud, — silent Merrill Ashly quivered on her tiptoes, quavered like a voice and appeared to nearly lose her balance. Later, when she went forward to her partner with her leg high in the air, her arm shook violently. Heather Watts shined radiantly in ‘'Rubies,” flaunting quick, funny modern steps with the ease of perfect passion, with the sly, scat coaxing of a gay '90’s chorus dancer. Robert Weiss kept up with her, never taking the spotlight from the red ruby. In “Diamonds,” Suzanne Farrell was so elegant that she flowed. But in some elegance, there seems to be the flow of conceit. Suzanne Farrell usually no gives performance of such footloose detachment. Perhaps because she was dancing without her usual partner, Peter Martins, she was visibly unfamiliar with the tall Sean Lavery. So she flowed, but sometimes without feeling. By Thursday evening, the Ballet seemed more accustomed to the Shea’s stage, but because of poorly trained ushers in the balcony, two dances by Merrill with light happy teasing. The dancer’s near bumps and fumbling seemed smooth and particularly noteworthy, combining intricacy with tender comedy. More so than Sara Kyra Leland, Nichols outclassed the rest of the troupe since both her face and body found in dramatic pleasure These feelings apparently made her feet seem shy and light, veiling her obvious command of the onstage evening gathering. Stars and Stripes was a truly spectacle. Like American a hometown parade on July 4th, it exuded patriotic feeling and was very bright The pop Sousa music everybody knows, the familiar costumes, the acrobatic solo leaps by Adam Luders contrasted by the massive regiment of ballet dancers, stepping, stepping proudly; all of these made Stars and Stripes a finale befitting both the independent and group-minded folks of any town’s audience.

Emerging from a quagmire of popular musical idioms is a genre that defies categorization; a generic music. Generic music encompasses a multitude of styles, borrowing from each but evolving into something completely for Critics, the have unique sake labeled it convenience fusion, though this hackneyed label is as vague, and therefore useless, as the term jazz has become. been Generic music has evolving since the late 60’s when the first strains of jazz-rock fusion were being heard. Groups like Larry Coryell’s Free Spirits, Tony William’s Lifetime, and Dreams attempted to make jazz legitimate to the rock listeners. And there were giants like Miles Davis and Eddie Harris who attempted to make rock legitimate to the jazz afficionados. Fusion, traditionally characterized by heavily amplified super chops, has just about run its course and is giving way to a more lyrical and loosely constructed generic music, characterized by a return to the acoustic instrument. On contemporary guitar, John McLaughlin has turned to the acoustic Indian influenced Shakti, Larry Coryell has reverted to touring solo with acoustic guitar, and ECM records has garnered three of the most innovative generic guitarists recording today ’Pat Metheny, John Abercrombie ;and Ralph Towner. alter the sound so much that it’s possible to play things that are un-guitar like." A clue to Abercrombie’s style may be culled from his attitude toward music. "I’ve never been interested in mastering the guitar or being a virtuoso player. Part of me thinks about acquiring more technique, but the most important thing is to find that place where I feel I’m coming out of the music.” Sharing a similar attitude, . . . if I had to stop playing tomorrow, if my left hand got chopped off, it wouldn’t be the end of my life,” Pat Metheny has garnered critical acclaim through his work with Gary Burton and his last three solo albums on LCM, “ re-create them.

Nizer’s subject is the anatomy of dominance. It is quite possible that his arrogant tone, whteh I found bothersome at first, is a conscious device of the author’s. Dominance is not strength. There is more to it than determination. Much of success is defined in terms of social society rather than personal achievement. Although it may be quite fallacious to measure success by comparing one’s self introspective measure can be to others, any burdened with doubt. What we sec in those around us, however, is more than a basis for self comparison one It is an experiencing of our capacity to see reflection without a mirror. The more we can see in a person beyond their reputation, the more extensive our inner resources must be. Objective difference This is the real quality of Reflections Without Mirrors. Nizer describes his subjects in terms of what made them great and shows the reader a capacity to observe as well as a capacity to project. His use of conceit, once the reader is accustomed to it, can make the reader a member of this process, preventing him from being absorbed totally, keeping him at an objective difference. Nizer’s unusual tone and point of view can be quite enjoyable, despite all the offense it can cause. I enjoyed Nizer's chapters on jimmy Walker and Fiorcllo LaGuardia, two politicians, both mayors of New York. I was not surprised to find Jimmy Walter characterized as an entertainer more than a mayor, but I was surprised to find La Guardia so characterized, when the two men were arch rivals politically. It seems that politics may just be something for people to fight about in bars or on college campuses. very thought provoking and entertaining, even though undeniable sense of Nizer’s continued to emerge throughout the book. conceit To be sure, Nizer is both a successful lawyer and a successful man. Success is a subject that interests many American readers; but this book doesn't suggest a formula for success. Instead it reflects, as the title suggests, on that transient commodity of the American drearYlf is the i*suk of overcoming odds. It is also the result of obtaining a position of dominance. Talent can be helpful in this; so can hard work, indeed they are most necessary. The reward and the punishment of success, however, Politics as an occupation is chiefly concerned with entertaining the populace. The style of the man must fit the need of the people. As Nizer says of Walker and La Guardia: “Each represented the true mood of the city at a particular time. But conditions changed. That is why Walker could easily defeat LaGuardia the first time he was challenged by him, and then lose decisively to him in his second attempt, though the issues were the.same." rut As Nizer develops his reflections he touches on not only politics and law, but also love, art and mysticism. It is the all-American version of Meetings With Remarkable Men by Gurdjief. It is a rich and entertaining book. �Vinyl Solutions a* I a. 3 c/) Van halen to Triumph Van Halen, Van Halen II (Warner Bros.)

W; One of the moments of this album is a 58-second acoustic solo piece by Eddie called "Spanish Fly.” Melodically played, it creates the perfect image of a tiny fly dancing across the frets as it rhythmically lands on the strings.

One of the big problems is a screeching vocal technique Roth and uses and wears uses out. It was a neat trick to hear on the first album and might even be on this one but its excessive (the guitar screams presence enough for both) makes it a tiresome detriment. The only problem with Eddie is that because his lines as good as they are hold such distinction, they can quickly become over used.

"Just & American LP, The Canadian consisting rockers, of Rick Emnctt on guitars and vocals, Gil Moore on drums and vocals and Mike Levine on bass and keyboards, play some good rock through their first three tracks although there’s nothing elaborate in their sometimes too standard moves. In fact, until they reach their most popular song, “American Girls,” it looks like a forfeit; but instead they make this the turning point. They reveal an outstanding surge of power and boogie that makes the previous songs sound like mere warm-ups. This may have even been part of the game plan, but it's highly unlikely. From here on in the group shifts their efforts to the max, and they keep them there for the rest of the album. In fact, the complaint was they were sticking too close to “the rules,” then by the second side of the album the remedy has been found, as diversity becomes the name of the game. Some mellow acoustic and picking moments arrive through a short classical guitar solo by Emnett. Executed well, the piece is strongly reminiscent of “The Clap” by Steve Howe. But why make a comparison with a progressive group like Yes? Well, it inevitably comes to mind when the following track “Hold On” takes its turn. The song opens with a 12-string intro that becomes the gentle back-drop for Emnett’s vocals, which intentionally or not, hold an astounding similarity to those of Jon 'Anderson. The last track, "Suitcase Blues,” is yet another surprise a slow blues tune with an easy acoustic-jazz background. It doesn’t, vocally or instrumentally, resemble anything else on the album, but it contains the variable dynamics and steady balance that is a constant feature.

Music is a mother, children . . . and the Heath Brothers spread the babe around. Mama made it burn! Papa’s holding more than bags. Heaths and Hearths Marking the 5th anniversary of the jazz Report (now covering Buffalo/Toronto & Cleveland/Akron), the Music of the Heaths was tight, together, loose and full of friendship in the real offering. Very clear it became before long that this ensemble enjoyed performing together very much, and this ease in cameraderie quickly drew the audience of the Tralfamadore Cafe into the free-wheeling play. Digging into the essence of the bop (and not stale posturings to cop), the Heath ensemble turned the lyricism in, out, and all about; conductors of an ageless journey in which everyone delighted this Friday past. The nimble nurturing of totally singing beat has been a trademark of the Heath Brothers for over 2 decades, and now that they are active participants of Columbia Records’ overdue straight-out jazz (Woody Shaw, Bobby line Hutcherson, Arthur Blythe, etc.), the Heaths should gain even greater recognition for their intrepidness. Jimmy Heath’s deep gutbucket wail and balladry sails in his play on the tenor saxophone. Heath was greatly admired by John Coltrane, who was a good friend from the Philadelphia of the 50’s. Heath’s saxophone soprano sound combines Coltrane with the moan and rhapsody of the first soprano grandmaster, Sidney Bechet (A touch of Johnny Hodges, tool). The flutework of Heath is simple, stark and sweet. Making all this greater is the humor and taste in which all this comes together in the reedsman’s showmanship, Heath being most responsible for the underlining on-stage byplay (No doubt his time with Dizzy Gillespie served him well). Percy Heath is the earth-washing shake-it-on-down bassist whose mastery became an integral factor in the Modern Jazz He brings out the eloquence and the sassy wit of Quartet this Music with great force.

All this came together. Percy’s cello on “Watergate Blues” sounded the bold cry of bad, boldly challenging street blues guitar confronting stone jungles. Jimmy’s “A Time And A Place’’ sang an insistent down-home romanticism akin to some Horace Silver lore, while Stanely’s "My Moon” brought the insistency working out in flamboyant indigo.

The stocks sold represent less than one-fourth of the university’s total securities in 44 companies which reportedly had assets in South Africa. These holdings represented about 35 percent of Columbia’s investment portfolio. Columbia President William J. McGill said “it is possible” for the university to liquidate its stock in some additional banks or corporations as well. According to The New York Times, American banks have outstanding South African loans of at least $2.2 billion. Principal supplier There are more than 350 U.S firms with direct investments in South Africa totalling nearly SI.7 billion, about 17 percent of all foreign investment there. The list of companies includes Ford, Chrysler, General Motors, Coca-Cola, Mobil, General Flectric and IBM. A wide variety of industries depend on South Africa as a principal supplier of such essential industrial metals as chrome, manganese, vanadium and platinum and are therefore reluctant to sever their connection with the country. A few colleges have balked at selling their stocks.

Second, we wish to university the to persuade withdraw all stock in corporations dealing with South Africa, and lastly, we wish to support struggles against oppression.” Amherst Antioch College, University, Hampshire College, the University of Massachusetts, Ohio University, Smith College and Tufts University have already sold some other holdings in South Africa-related companies.

You know what you like! by Jay Menduke Director of Marketing Akai America, Ltd. Many articles and brochures have been written on the subject of how to buy a component stereo system. Many of them are nothing more than sales pitches, telling readers how to buy a certain brand. Others are far too technical, telling a select few what they already know and confusing the rest. Meanwhile, the decision gets increasingly complex. Hi-fi stores have grown into sprawling labyrinths of sound rooms and displays. Brands and models have proliferated to the point that they all seem alike to the average bonsumer. Yet amidst all this chaos, it’s still possible to make an intelligent buying decision when shopping for a stereo system. It’s not easy, but it’s possible. The key is doing your homework. You may not know the first thing about various types of hi-fi components, their specs and their features and you don’t have to. You do know what you like to listen to, how you like to listen to it and the way you like it to sound, and Jhis is the kind of information you have to compile before you ever set foot ... inside a store. Ask yourself these questions and come up with clear-cut answers; What kind of music do you like to listen to? Classical? Hard rock? Pop? Disco? Jazz? Instrumental? What is the source of most of the music you listen to or would like to listen to? Records? Tapes? FM? When at home, where do you do most of your listening? In the living room? In the bedroom? Throughout the apartment or dorm room? Do you listen to music in your car? What are you doing while listening? Nothing but listening? Doing assignments? Reading? Entertaining? How often do you listen? Several hours a day? A short time every day? A few times a week? Only occasionally? How loud is the music you listen to? Background music level? Louder, but still quiet enough to permit conversation? Very loud? How loud would you like to be able to usually listen? About the way you listen? Louder? Softer? This 16-page Special Section is an Do you live in a dormitory or an apartment? How large is it? try don’t to use specifications as guidelines. You probably don’t know what they mean anyway, and even if you do, it’s really not practical to compare the specs of one piece of equipment with those of another. That’s because on everything except power output, most different manufacturers use testing procedures. The published specs of each item may be down, stereo equipment? What other equipment have you heard before that you’ve liked? yourself Also ask the important question of just how much money you can afford to spend on a sound system. After you’ve arrived at your own answers to each of these questions, you’re ready to venture into the foreboding world of stereo retailing. But because you have these answers, it won’t be as By foreboding. giving this information to the salesman, you’ll be Jetting him know that you know what you’re doing, and 3 make it impossible for you the consumer to shop around. National brands, on the other hand, will generally be available at several different stores, and you can shop for'the best price on the items you’ve selected. Unless you’re content listening to FM, you’ll also need either a turntable, a tape d-ck, or perhaps both if your budget permits. The first step in selecting one of these items goes all the way back to the questions you asked yourself before shopping. If you already have a substantial - — - 8-track cartridge, reel-to-reel. By far, the most popular format today is cassette. It’s also the most convenient to use. You would probably only choose or just recorded music. The next consideration will probably be price. Cassette decks range all the way from less than $200 to more than $1,000. As with receivers, the things most responsible for price variations are features. But unlike receivers, there are some tape deck features that are important considerations. Dolby, for example. Dolby is a noise reduction system; it reduces “tape hiss” during recording and playback. Your cassette deck should have it. There are also several important convenience features: automatic stop when the tape reaches the end, direct change function controls so you don’t have to hit the “stop” button between functions, and coupled recording left-and-right-channel level controls so you can fade in or fade out using only one hand. There are many other features, such as three heads, closed-loop accurate, but they may be based variety on a measurements. of different which perform the same functions as a receiver but generally with better quality. Your decision will be related to the speakers you’ve already selected. Various speakers require various amounts of power to drive them properly. The salesman will be happy to point out a selection of receivers and/or separates that* meet the power requirements and realize the full label retailers offer private components that aren’t available elsewhere. They may be good-quality products, but they — midrange sound in between. The salesman can’t tell you which one you like; he can only point out the differences. In making your own evaluation, it may help if you bring along records or tapes of music you’re familiar with.,*,; Once you’ve found speakers that are right for you, you’re ready to select a receiver or amplifier and tuner separate — collection of records you’ll want to buy that Turn instead to something you price. Just as do understand you know what you like to listen to, you know how much you can afford. Let that be your guideline. Once you’ve selected a receiver or separates which, when Combined with your speakers, fit your budget, the features will fall into place. That’s because the things most responsible for variations in price within a given power range are the extra features and buttons, most of which aren’t critical when it comes to the quality of the sound you’ll be hearing. One other consideration in selecting a receiver or separates — T\ J semi-automatic turntable that you can program one record at a time. If you like making your own programming from records, then you’ll need both a tape deck and a turntable so that you may make tapes from your records. If you decide that a tape deck should be part of your system, there are several considerations in selecting one. First, you need to cassette, decide on a format equipment if you already have an 8-track deck in your car, and you would probably only sdect ,teel-to-reel equipment if yofTwahted to tape more than — a ■■ working around the house. If you just sit and listen to music, you manual or may prefer a cartridge direction of equipment that meets the needs of your listening habits and your lifestyle. But even though you’ve narrowed it down, there is still a maze of brands and models. The next step is to select your equipment in the proper order. Even though it’s often called the “Heart of the system,” don’t start by selecting an AM-FM stereo receiver. Most stereo novices can’t hear the differences between one receiver and another, even though the published technical specifications may vary widely. Instead, start with something you can evaluate subjectively speakers. You’re buying sound, so why not begin with the part of the system that delivers the sound? Speakers are the biggest variable when it comes to sound, yet they carry no technical specification that will tell you whether they’re good or bad. The only way to determine that is to listen and come to your own decision. There are basically three types of sound loud and boomy at one extreme, bright and shrill at the other, and a smoother ■a 53 ■ " you’ll stand a good .chance of getting some good information in return. He will point you in the All Material Herein Has Been Published to Augment the Display of the Advertisers’ (and this applies to speakers, too): try to stick with a well-known, nationally advertised brand. Many or tapes, equipment accommodates whatever format you have. If you’re just starting out, you’ll want to select the format that best .fits your listening habits. For example, if you like to listen to music while on driving, you may plan tape eventually installing equipment in your car. In order to be ready for that eventuality, you should buy a home tape deck either cassette or 8-track cartridge so that the tapes you buy or record will be compatible with your future car system. In doing this it might be well to remember that the future seems to be pointing toward the use of the cassette format. - - On the other hand, if records are more convenient for you, you should look for a turntable that meets your needs. A record changer that automatically plays several records in succession may be the choice if you listen while capstan tape dual transport systems, and mic/Iine mixing. Most of these are found onlyon more sophisticated higher-priced machines, and are not essential to good quality recording and playback, particularly for the first-time system buyer. After you’ve selected all the of your system, components double check that everything has a competitive warranty (usually at least one year) and ask the salesman to show you how to hook up the components and use them. Then, in youy spare time, study the literature that comes with your equipment. Learn everything about it, whether you understand it or not. Then when your friends come over and admire your system, you can be snobbish and enjoy telling them all about its impressive signal-to-noise ratio, its superb frequency response and its low total harmonic distortion. Don’t tell them you bought it the easy way. ■ I I H.P. KOPP Sales & Service. Inc. The only complete Electronic Service Center In Western New York, We service Everything electronic. Services.

One of the first things you’re going to have to decide is how much money you can spend on the project, and what you have a right to expect in return for it. That’s the purpose of this article to help you set up a realistic sfereo budget and - apportion it wisely. Let’s begin with a few definitions. A component high fidelity system starts with speakers which are physically separated from the rest of the system. Its amplifier or amplifier section must have the ability to handle a magnetic phono cartridge and both four and eight-ohm loudspeakers. And it must producer minimum of ten watts power output per channel. The system includes, in addition speakers, a control section one and or more program (i.e. tuner, turntable or to tape deck). The control section may be purchased separately or may come combined with a tuner to form a receiver A modular stereo system looks like a component system, except (1) that you usually have to fake the manufacturer’s own loudspeakers, rather than having the option of choosing your own; (2) the control section may not have provision for h-andling magnetic phono pickups or eight-ohm speakers; (3) may combine a cassette or cartridge tape deck with the tuner and amplifier (or control) section; and (4) probably puts less .then ten #atts per channel.

WILLIAMSV1LLE, N.Y. STEREO ADVANTAGE i i control unit which includes besides an amplifier section and tuner, a built-in turntable. Let’s also start off with some basic ground rules. One is that in stereo, as in the rest of life, you get what you pay for. There is no such thing as a $200 component which is just as good as one selling for $400. However, since you may not need all of the features of the $400 Unit, you may be able to save money with a minimum loss of fidelity to you. Another is that there is no such thing as “best.” Some equipment does some things better than other but no panel of equipment experts ever seems to be able to settle on how' to balance the relative strengths and weaknesses of hi-fi equipment in orcfer to make a “best” judgement. Still another: don’t let a tight budget keep you. out of the world Of hi-fi. You can upgrade any component system one part at a time, as you can afford it. • Now, let’s get down to cases. Unless you have at least S300 to spend, you’d better not consider high fidelity components. In general, you’ll get more for your money with - a stereo modular or stereo compact in terms of features and program sources, if not in terms of fidelity. It is possible, by haunting radio parts stores specializing in closeouts,, by buying used equipment, by doing some of the work as putting yourself (such together an electronics kit or building your own loudspeaker system from scratch) or by leaving a basic ingredient like FM stereo out of the package, to put together a component rig for as little as $200. But most of us want as a minimum a system that plays records and receives FM stereo broadcasts, that involves a minimum of doing-it-ourselve». For $300, a basic package should include an ANTTM stereo receiver delivering at least ten watts per channel. The turntable could be either a changer type or a singleplay automatic with To complete the ensemble, the store usually supplies two of its own private label loudspeakers. You can save as much as $60 on this basic system by substituting an amplifier for the receiver either with the idea of adding the tuner later, or of doing wihout stereo FM cartridge. — altogether. can On the other hand, if you afford about $425 for your basic package, you can enjoy the same receiver you’d get in the store package. But with it you’d have a choice of brand-name mini-bookshelf and a speaker systems better-quality turntable. If you’re planning to own the entire system for some years to come, perhaps you’d better consider choosing the turntable and speakers yourself, rather than letting the dealer do it for you, even though it costs $225 more to do so. Note that in these basic systems, approximately half your money goes for the receiver, approximately 25 percent for the record player and 25 percent for the speakers. You can change that ratio, if you so desire and if you’re particularly fussy about the sound you hear or if you worry about how protective an inexpensive cartridge and tone arm are of your valuable records, you may want to change it. What you get for more money in a turntable and cartridge is longer record life in addition to higher fidelity. In speakers, you get- more bass and leaner treble, smoother mid-range. If you’re thinking of upgrading eventually and you have a large, valuable record collection, you may consider the best turntable and buying can you cartridge afford, the other components with the idea of trading them in later. $600 puts you firmly out of the bargain basement category. For that, you cgn 'buy a 20-watt receiver (or slightly lower-powered amplifier with companion tuner), a beltdrive turntable (either single-play or automatic) with cartridge and a pair of standard bookshelf -speaker systems. For another $200 you can add a Dolbyized casette tape deck to the system. About 40 percent of the price of this basic system goes into the receiver, with the speakers skimping on accounting The one-third. for roughly turntable and about represent one-quarter, the same share as in the starter system. For $1000, you can buy a front-loading with system Dolbyized cassette .deck, a direct drive single-play turntable, a receiver with at least 30 watts of power per channel, and still $300 to spend for two loudspeaker systems. By now, the turntable is down to about 20_ percent of the overall price (the same percentage as the cassette deck), while the receiver now represents only 30 percent of the overall package. Once you break the' $1000 barrier, you’re pretty much on your own. My first investment at this stage would be an audio equalizer ($200—$300), although you might prefer a pair of stereo headphones ($25 —$200). Or you might want a pair of extension speakers for another room, or separate amplifier and preamp plus a dream tuner, instead of the receivers which comprise the eariler systems. If your rich uncle’s just died and left you Standard Oil, you might want to consider the Ultimate System; a mere $7475, give or take a few dollars. For that you should be able to buy two $1000 the following: full-range speaker systems; a cartridge quartz-controlled direct-drive turntable with cartridge ($775); tuner ($400); preamp and amp ($400 each); equalizer ($450); cassette deck —j front-loading —continued on page 6— �•o { �<o I The extras that make your system complete There with are you a spanking new stereo system that’s set you back anywhere from $700-$1000 a system that looks good, sounds good, and is compete in every way or is it? The basic stereo system consists of an AM/FM receiver and/or tuner and amplifier, and turntable with cartridge and a tape deck, either open reel or - — cassette (or both). That covers the records, stereo sources program stereo broadcasts tapes. But it — and doesn’t stereo headphones, graphic equalizers, digital time delays, subwoofers, supertweeters, companders, bass like things programmers and other components designed to make your system sound better, operate more reinforcers, dozens- of conveniently, or both. Headphones The best-known extra is the so common, stereo'headphone in fact, that dealers sometimes throw in a pair free with the purchase of a complete system. Stereo headphones start at about $12.95 and can cost as — much as $300. There principle are three lightweight on-the-ear phones using dynamic transducers, which sell for $13 to $45 or so; surround types using dynamic transducers, which cost $20 to $200 or so; and electrostatics, which run $45 to $300 including energizer. at least in Headphone price is models priced below $50 types - - — more an index of construction quality and comfort than of Even the cheap models Sound surprisingly good. But some tend to press uncomfortably on the head or against the ear while others tend to come apart after a few performance. months of normal use. If you’re buying in this price range, check the amount of padding on the earpieces and actually try the headphones on, to see how comfortable they are for prolonged periods of listening. Take a look at the way the earpieces are mounted on the headband, the phone headband and plug on the cord. Then decide just how much durability you can afford. As headphone prices go up, the quality and type of speakers used in them also improves. Some more expensive models separate woofers and use tweeters. Others permit you to add ambience or adjust volume tone by means of controls on the earpieces. A few permit or of frequency the alteration response. What’s the difference between on-th-C-ear and around-the-ear phones? The former are lighter and tend to be more comfortable, but the latter shut out more external sound. So if one of your reasons for buying headphones is to listen in a noisy environment, you’d be wise to concentrate on models with large earpieces. Conversely, if you’ve got to keep an ear peeled for junior’s cries from the nursery while you’re trying Tomita, enjoy to on-the-ear-phones are for you. All other things being equal, there is no difference in sound quality, although some models have lightweight developed a reuptation for clean, open sound. Dynamic transducers, incidentally, are miniature loudspeakers, similar to those used in full-sized speaker systems. Electrostatics use a plate moving between two energized grids instead of a paper or plastic cone to create sound. Construction generally is mor' complicated than in a dynamic headset, and most electrostatics require external energizer in »" addition to conventional amplification. That means somewhat higher prices than those fetched by comparable dynamics. In return, their supporters say They yield cleaner, more silvery sound. In fact, electrostatics do handle the treble and upper midrange uncommonly well, although the bass reproduction sometimes lags behind the capabilities of the better dynamics. than the speaker systems you intend to use it with. Super weeters are just the small units (often not reverse much larger than Muhammad — Ali’s fist), highly directional and comparatively inexpensive. A good one costs anywhere from but you’ll $18 to $65 or so need two, because there very definitely is a difference in sound between, left and right channels in this frequency range. The easiest place to mount - them is Speaker extras Ever wish you could squeeze another half-octave of bass out of your speaker system, or add just a little sheen to the treble? You can without scrapping otherwise perfectly satisfactory speakers by adding a subwoofer or a pair of — — supertweeters. As the names imply, these speakers are intended to extend the range of conventional bookshelf speaker the subwoofer systems working on frequencies below about 200 cps down to 32 cps or below; the supertweeter from 3500 cps up to 18,000 cps or more. Since deep bass tones are nondirectional, it’s possible to use a single subwoofer to add bass to both channels, a box which can be placed virtually anywhere in the listening room. A typical subwoofer costs $300, consists of a speaker 10 inches to 15 inches in diameter mounted in a specially designed enclosure which may be larger — on top of your present speakers, although their small size permits easy mounting just about anywhere. signal stability and tuner sensitivity than is otherwise available. A year ago, audiophiles would have laughed at the idea of piping TV sound into a stereo component system - but that was before the three commercial networks and the Public Broadcasting System cleaned up their acts and started relaying full-frequency audio signals. It was before PBS’s live simulcasts became common, and lovers a nation of music discovered just how crummy the / sound from their TV sets really was. At the moment there’s Pioneer’s only one TV tuner - Exotic program sources An AM tuner? Yes, if you thirst for the siren voice of a distant station, like New York’s •WQXR or CBA in Sackville, Nebraska, and want to hear the medium at its best. The sad truth is that the AM sections in most AM/FM tuners and receivers are much poorer than those turned out by Avery Fisher in the late 1930s; often worse than the AM sections in car radios and battery-operated portables made by the same manufacturers. What should you do? Spend $300 or more for a tuner designed solely for AM reception. At the moment, that means the McKay Dymek AM-5 or AM-7, units designed originally for professional use by AM broadcasters. What you get for that price is much greater which costs $250. The tuner, which can be connected to the tape monitor, auxiliary or tuner input on any receiver or amplifier, claims a of frequency response 1 db with 50—10,000 cps distortion below 0.1 percent.

The idea is to squeeze as much signal onto the tape or record without distorting as much as possible, and it’s accomplished by reducing signal peaks so that the music sounds louder than uncompressed recordings. The trouble with —continued on page 10— Your price range... —continued from page 4— and Dolby, of course, and with three heads; and a $1000 open reel tape deck. A $200 pair of headphones completes the ensemble. By going into multiple speaker systems, extra turntables and tape decks, it’s quite possible to work this basic system up into the $10,000 range. And that doesn’t count accessories like record or tape cleaners, storage racks or wiring. Jf you’re wondering how to apportion your component dollar, note that tape represents roughly one-third of the price of this package. Electronics -the tuner, amplifier, preamp and equalizer constitutes less than a quarter, while speakers represent slightly more than 25 percent. That leaves about ten - percent and for the record player about three percent for headphones. In other words, as the price of the system goes up, the prominence of the record player and the electronics go down, while speakers hold their own. What makes the difference is the introduction of tape and other extras. All 'of the experts will tell you that however much you budget for a system, it should be balanced that is, you shouldn’t buy an amplifier that’s more powerful and much cleaner than your loudspeakers.

In fact, if you’ve been listening to a unit that’s more than a year or two old, you’ll be amazed at the difference the best of the new models can make. The old problems with tapes jamming and running unsteadily have been solved, and — the new FM tuners can compete with high quality home equipment in performance. And there are more features and options than ever. Of course, car -stereo advertising has been talking “home-like fidelity” for some time, but these days it’s more than just hype. A high quality system, correctly installed, really can approach about living-room sound. As you would expect, car stereo is very much a question of getting what you pay for, so don’t expect $29 tape unit a driving five dollar speakers to sound like your $700 home system. Testing the designer's talent Most people don’t appreciate it, but it’s really much harder to build high quality car stereo than to build home hi-fi Some of/ the problems that have to be solved tomponents. include: Space. Compare the size of a car stereo chassis with a home stereo receiver, then realize that virtually all the circuitry in the home unit has to be crammed into the car unit often With — the addition of a complete tape transport! Fortunately, technology has come to the rescue, with integrated circuits replacing hundreds of discrete components, and, tiny ceramjc filters and varactor diodes doing the work of bulky tuner parts. It is of pourse possible to attack the space problem by designing the unit in two or more pieces, with one part mounted in the trunk of the car or elsewhere. A number of newer units on the market use this approach with very good results. On the minus side, these “separate” systems generally take, up_more room in the car, and are Cost. The average amount of money spent on a car system has increased over the past few years, but there still aren’t too many people who are ready to spend $500 or more on auto sound. So cost must remain an important consideration in the engineer’s mind. Fortunately (again), technology has made possible improvements astounding in performance per dollar. The best car stereo still isn’t cheap, but it’s within the reach of most people who are seriously interested in owning it. (And, of course, a great sound value.) The Car Environment. Until the day when cars run with electric motors over glass-smooth roads, they will remain noisy, —continued from that is while everything sounds louder, there’s actually no dynamic range.- in the FM of some Boston-area stations for example, dynamic range (the difference in volume between the quietest sound and the loudest) actually is less than lOdb. To restore the proper aural perspective, you need an expander, such as those offered by dbx. Eventide, JBL, MXR, Shure and others at prices ranging _jfrom $130 to $600 or more. Both features can be combined in a single unit called a companer at a price of $300 up. the most Perhaps case sophisticated compressor/expanders reduction Burwen attack of all are noise adds system considerably to any car’s resale The extras... compression more somewhat complicated to install. page The ill-fated 1 fourichannel movement of a few years back was an attempt to recreate in the ordinary listening room the and dl(X.

It can sound great Someone once said the world, situation was “hopeless, but not* setious.” The same comment could be made about car stereo we’ve spent the last couple of pages telling you about some of — the problems of auto sound not to discourage you, but to help you appreciate what an amazing engineering accomplishment today’s car — sound systems represent. Because, in spite of the difficulties, a well-engineered properly and installed and operated car system can literally transform driving from a chore a highly pleasurable to experience. And you can expect years of trouble-free service with just occasional routine maintenance like cleaning the tape heads. So, if the idea of driving around in a “concert hall on wheels” appeals to you, by all means find an auto sound dealer and find out just how good car , hi-fi can ber , -continued on page 12— 6— during recording, boosting them in relation to the surrounding music, then reducing them by the same proportion during playback without affecting signals of greater amplitude or different frequency.

The constant vibration in a car can be punishing to equipment. This was responsible for many failures in early car stereos, and probably turned some people off to the whole idea needlessly. The fact is, today’s better units are very vibrating electronic creation of skilled rock musicians. More recent (but no less expensive) efforts to do the same thing have included digital time delay devices and Advent’s more sophisticated SoundSpace control. Actually, you don’t have to go digital to invest in time delay; a basic analog device which requires rear-channel amplification and speakers costs about $300, while a comprehensive digital system costs more than fifteen times as much. Advent’s new device works by digitally processing the signals from conventional recordings and adding multiple time delays that are mixed and recirculated to expand and vary the at'oustic space of a home listening room.

The first decision you’ll be faced with when looking at car systems is what kinds of program sources you’ll want to listen to: AM, FM and/or tape. Units are available in almost any combination of the three, but two in particular are especially popular: 1 v • The under-dash combination FM/Tape player. This is for people who already have an in-dash AM radio that they don’t want to remove, or who don’t care about AM reception. The under-dash unit mounts easily and comes out . easily when you car. 2 trade The AM/FM /Tape player. in the in-dash This fits the space normally occupied by your “stock” radio, and provides everything in one compact chassis. It can also give a “custom” appearance that an under-dash unit can’t. decide If you on an under-dash unit, look for an “first ant-out” slide mounting bracket. With it, you can slip the unit out and store it in the trunk when you leave your car, and transfer it easily between vehicles. Cassette or 8-Track? If you right into already own a large library of cassettes or 8-track Cartridges, this decision has already been made for you. If you have no for preferring one over the other, however, we’d suggest you opt for a cassette unit, for several reasons 1 Compactness. You can get a lot more music per cubic inch of space from a cassette than you can from an 8-track reason cartridge. 2. Popularity. 8-track used to dominate the market. But cassettes have steadily gained ground, and will probably be the most popular medium for the foreseeable future. 3. Quality. The popularity of home cassette decks has led to massive development efforts by manufacturers, and many of your speakers, and your “software” (tapes). FM Reception. You can’t make a silk purse out of a. sow’s ear. And you can’t make good radio reception out of impossibly bad signals. So, if your antenna is a rusty coat hanger and you live 100 miles from the nearest FM station, don’t expect great reception, no matter how good your tuner is! Your antenna must ,be in good condition, and must be designed for FM reception (AM is not as critical). Do not expect good results from a CB antenna! The ideal length for FM reception is 30 inches, while longer antennas will give better results on AM in weak signal areas. The perfect reception area for FM is flat ground, less than 40 or 50 miles from the station, with no tall buildings, hills or other vehicles around. Obviously, most reception areas are somewhat less than perfect. A good tuner can tolerate an amazing amount of fading, multipath, alternate channel interference, etc., but no tuner can guarantee that as you dart around between buildings and trucks, you’ll never hear anything but perfect sound. (If it’s any comfort, even $3000 car telephones have the same problems.) Speakers. To put it simply: a beautiful, crystal clear signal played through cheap "speakers will still sound like cheap speakers. Which is to say, not very good. Further information on automotive speakers will be given later on. Recording Quality. With tapes, just as with radio, you can’t get good sound out unless you put a good signal in. If you buy a pre-recorded tape and it or distorted, don’t sounds dull be afraid to record your follow the take it back. If you own tapes at home, instructions of the recorder manufacturer with a little practice, you’ll learn how the benefits of this research to set levels for minimum noise have carried over into car and distortion. Always use quality cartridges cassettes. cheap, poorly This is not to say that there or cassettes is anything wrong with 8-track made tapes will invite jamming players; they can and do give problems. excellent performance. But the trend is clearly toward cassettes. How much power? Until a few years ago, Things not to blame (or praise) virtually all car stereos were in With the information in this the 3 or 4 watt RMS per book; you should be able to channel range (regardless of the pick out a radio/tape unit that advertised power). This meets your needs and is capable limitation was due to the 12 of high quality sound. It’s volt electrical system used in important to keep in mind, most cars; getting more power though, that there are some out of this voltage requires things that affect car stereo special amplifier circuits. performance that aren’t related It wasn’t long, however, to the quality of the unit before people began to demand you’re using. These are: your a bigger sound in their cars, so developed new antenna and the local airwaves, designers — - — ' approaches to stereo. • boosters consist of a simple current amplifier driving an output transformer. Theoretically, this works fine, but most boosters seem to be designed to sell at the lowest Most possible price, so they use circuit shortcuts and output transformers that aren’t up to the job they’re asked to do. The results are usually lots of distortion (10 or even 20 percent), and limited bass reponse. If you like it loud and you’re not too critical, though, a booster may be fine. Bridged A mplifiers. Built-in bridged amplifiers provide a way to get njore power at reasonable cost, without the high distortion of most boosters. Two separate power amplifiers are connected to the speaker in a way that can deliver up to 4 times the power of a single amplifier. Biamplification. Biamplification means using separate" power amplifiers for the woofers and tweeters- in a speaker system. It has been used for years in large concert and disco sound systems, and in a few very expensive home hi-fi systems. In a biamplificatioh system, the audio signal from the radio or tape is passed to a special circuit called an electronic crossover, which divides the signal in two: a low frequency (bass) part, and a high frequency (treble) signal. Each of these . signals is t)ien ' sent to its own independent amplifier and speaker. The speakers convert the signal back into sound _waves, which are combined by your ears into an almost perfect copy of the original music. Biamplification has many advantages. Some of the most important are: More sound with fewer watts. Because of a peculiarity in the laws of electronics, two 5 watt amplifiers in a biamplified setup can play louder with less distortion than a single 10 watt 1. amplifier used conventionally. Less distortion. Since 2. each amplifier only has part of the music to handle, it can do a better job,, with less “in ter modulation distortion.” And if either the bass or the treble amp should be driven past its limits during a loud music peak, it can’t garble the other half of the music. By contrast, when a conventional single amp is overloaded, all the * This month’s special NOj 1 ECHO I West Seneca: 668-6800 ECHO II University Plaza {in old Record Runner): 837-9601 ECHO III Lockport: 433-0500 Absolutely the largest selection of paraphernalia and COKE accessories!

The result is the muddy, garbled sound you hear when you turn the system up too loud. More precise 3. tone control. So if you’re listening to a program that’s thin on the bottom, just turn up the woofer amp for a fuller sound. Or if your speakers are weak on the top end, crank up the tweeter amp and restore the proper balance. Whatever your tastes or needs, you can customize the sound to fit them. 4. Flexibility placement. With of speaker a biamped system, there’s no need for the woofers and— tweeters to be mounted in the same place in the ear. This means that you can use real powerhouse woofers and mount them on the rear deck to take advantage of the trunk cavity for better bass, and use small tweeters in the dash or doors for better stereo imaging and high frequency dispersion.

And if you like to turn up the bass reproduction and the volume to really feel the bottom end, chances are you can use all the power you can get. Some important tuner specifications Comparing car stereo tuners has not been easy until recently, because most manufacturers never supplied complete specifications on their products. With the recent emphasis on component-quality sound, some companies ate now supplying this information. Here are a few important specifications to look for, and how to interpret them: Usable FM Sensitivity. This specifies the weakest signal level (usually in microvolts) that can be received by the tuner with an acceptably low level of background noise. The lower this number, the better. 2 microvolt sensitivity in a car FM radio is considered very 1.5 microvolts is good; excellent, and 1.0 microvolts is representative of the very best comparable to available units a fine home tuner. Signal to Noise Ratio. Specifies how quiet and hiss-free the background Will be in relation to the music with a good signal. 45 to 50dB is adequate for most car listening; 60dB is virtually {lead quiet. Alternate Channel Selectivity. A tuner with good selectivity will give clear reception of a weak station, even if a very strong station is present on an adjoining frequency. This is especially important in urban areas where the dial is crowded — with stations. Capture Ratio.

It is measured in dB, with l.OdB considered “state of the art” in home equipment. AM Rejection. An FM tuner with good AM rejection is not affected by variations in the strength (or “amplitude”) of the received signal. This is especially important in moving vehicles, where interference by buildings and other cars can cause sudden, rapid fluctuations in the signal. Stereo Separation. This specification tells how completely the left channel of sound is isolated from the right and vice versa. It is usually specified at an audio frequency of 1kHz, where sufficient for 25-30dB is essentially complete separation. At higher frequencies, separation always falls off somewhat. There are other tuner specifications, but the ones listed here are the most important for car stereo. In fact, it is safe to assume that if receiver FM has equally good, and it will provide high quality sound even under less than ideal conditions. Some features to look for Latching Fast Forward and/or Rewind. There’s nothing more (and possibly dangerous) than having to hold down a button for a minute or two to rewind a cassette. With this feature, the buttons stay annoying down by themselves. Amazingly, there are some rather expensive units on the market without this feature.

Hi-fi enthusiasts have known this for years, and people shopping for car speakers should trust their ears more than specifications, which can be meaningless or misleading. One of the things to watch out for especially is exaggerated magnet weight claims. Don’t be led into believing that'a speaker with a 40 ounce magnet is twice as good as one with a 20 ounce magnet. Quite possibly, it could be far inferior! In fact, sheer Radio Shack offers the opportunity for you to start your career working part time with us, while you're now in college. Call me to learn more. then its other specifications will be sdBNM - good —continued from • magnet weight has very little to do with the act»al performance of a speaker much more important are things like the quality of the magnet material used, and how efficiently the speaker — concentrates the magnetic energy in the voice coil gap (which is the only place it can do any good!). When you’re listening to speakers, be sure to notice their efficiency that is, how loud they sound with a given amount of power input. An efficient speaker driven by a 5 watt amplifier may give you more - sound than an inefficient speaker driven by 20 watts! Also, if you’re considering using a biamplified tape unit, be sure that the speakers you choose are designed to permit biamped operation. This means that there must be separate connection terminals for the woofer and tweeter. As we said earlier, there’s no point in buying a high quality radio, or tape unit if you’re going to use cheap speakers. Not only will you fail to get the full sound quality the player is capable of, but you could also blow the speakers by driving them with too much power. Mounting Speakers. One of the toughest problems in auto stereo concerns where to put speakers. The laws of acoustics require that for true, solid bass, the back of the speaker must somehow, be isolated from the front usually by mounting the speaker in some kind of a sealed cavity. In horde speakers, this cavity is usually a wooden box; in car speakers, it may be the car door (for door-mounted speakers). In general, the larger this cavity, the better the bass response. This means, of course, that the “hang on” units, consisting of a speaker mounted in a plastic frame, will never have very impressive bass, because of the small or nonexistent cavity behind the speaker. The only real alternatives for good sound are to go ahead and cut holes in the car panels to flush-mount the speakers in a good-size cavity or else to use — the small “mini-monitor” sealed systemswith a powerful amplifier (as they must sacrifice considerable efficiency in order to get respectable. The instructions with the speakers will suggest possible mounting positions, but remember the two most important points: a fairly large enclosed space behind the speakers (like a trunk or a door cavity) is required for good bass response. speakers mounted too low in the car will tend to have their high frequencies absorbed by upholstery and carpets, — - the sound. Paralleling and Matrixing. Most car stereos develop maximum usable power into 4 ohm speakers. So the way to get the most out of the unit is to connect a single 4 ohm speaker or two 8 ohm speakers in parallel to each channel. Some car stereo* have a matrixing circuit for connecting the rear speakers in a 4-speaker While not truly setup. quadriphonic, the sound that results contains a great deal of and spaciousness that is not reproduced by normal speaker hookups. Consult the owner’s manual for details. “ambience” Installation The subject of stereo installing car far too many variables' to do into here, since every car (and almost every car stereo) is different. A lot of people are afraid to try installing their own stereo, but if you’re at all mechanically has inclined, there’s no reason not to do the project yourself.

Care and feeding Today’s require better car stereos practically no maintenance. The only task you should perform regularly is cleaning the tape heads, since dirty heads louse up the sound. You can do this with a special cassette or cartridge loaded with cleaning tape, or you can do it the traditional way, with a swab and alcohol or head cleaner. Demagnetizing -is unnecessary on tape players that don’t also record tapes. Any other maintenance should be referred to a qualified technician (unless the manufacturer recommends otherwise).

The School is the only public law school in the State and its officials have charged that tuition is already extraordinarily high. Although battle weary students dropped their swords and their optimism when the SUNY Executive Committee "Voted on March 2 to raise lower level undergraduate tuition by $150; Medicine, Dentistry and Optometry by $300; and Law School by $200, the likelihood of a reversal on the 10 percent Law School hike was deemed ‘‘good” Monday by student representative to the Board Steve Allinger. “1 think the Board of Trustees, when it meets in full on Wednesday, will reverse the original decision as it pertains to the Law School,” Allinger informed The Spectrum. The push to reverse the hike began in March, when a four-person delegation from the UB Student Bar Association (SBA) visited Albany legislators while Law School Dean Thomas Hendrick negotiated with SUNY Chancellor Clifton R. Wharton.

He emphasized, “Nothing should be read into the quickness with which the Council by Cathy Carlson Staff Writer no Spectrum The SUNY Stony Brook campus been split into two warring camps after school’s Council announced recommendation of T.A. Pond has the its reached a decision.” Anderson maintained Council with recommending Pond because of his many business and social ties with the community. Anderson admitted that Pond does have “many contacts” but The man who is the target of all the debate has long been associated with Stony Brook. He was formerly a professor of Physics and, for the past 10 years, has served as University Executive Vice President. According to Stony Brook’s Director of University Relations Toni Bosco, Pond has been “largely responsible for the growth and development of Stony Brook.” Oddly enough that is the exact reason that Polity is, so vehemently opposed to Pond. Scarmato, while acknowledging Pond’s contribution to the university, emphasized the need for new blood in the campus community. He explained that Pond had gone stale and a change was needed. Scarmato remarked, “We need an individual who is genuinely concerned with for University President. Pond currently serves Executive Vice President. Opposing the recommendation is the undergraduate student government Polity. After a vicious verbal battle, both sides are anxiously awaiting the final decision of the SUNY Board of Trustees, as — which meet today. The controversy! took root one year ago when a search committee was formed to evaluate 250 top quality candidates from across the nation. After a long and extensive investigation, the list was narrowed to five candidates, with Pond placing a surprisingly low fourth. These recommendations were passed on to the Stony Brook Council, which after two weeks, came out with its own''endorsement of Pond. the students and their academic needs.” ; Balance? Another reason cited by Scarmato for the student opposition is the “cold and •calloused attitude of the Administration that Pond was involved with.” Scarmato said, "The University was like a business with Pond playing the role of corporate manager.” He believes this attitude has played a part in the high attrition rate found at Stony Brook. Throughout the controversy, the SUNY Board of Trustees the body, ultimately responsible for appointing a new president has remained delicately uninvolved and taken no firm stance. Associate Editor of the Stony Brook Statesman, Chris Firhall, said, “The Council has charged that certain members on the Board of Trustees have negative attitudes regarding Pond.” Chairman of the Council Anderson denied any knowledge of the Trustees’ support, saying, “There are Trustees both for and against Pond, but 1 have no idea where the balance lies.” The Trustees are expected to-hand down a decision some inadequate According to student Polity President fcarmato, the Council failed to adequately consider the other four candidates. He said, “Only two and a half hours had passed between the time the last candidate was interviewed and a decision was announced by the Council to recommend Pond.” Scarmato contends that “the entire process of searching for qualified candidates has been ~inade a mockery. ■ Keith - - ** Pointing to the short time lapse, Scarmato claims there was “behing the scenes maneuvering in the recommendation of Pond.” He believes that the Council had made a decision tong before all the other candidates were interviewed. Chairman of the Stony Brook Council Christan Anderson has strongly denied these allegations, claiming the Council had that the Council was merely operating efficiently and quickly in order to avoid dragging out the process.

Anderson said, “The Council wanted someone they knew something about and had worked with before.” He added, “We knew Pend and his track record.” time today. University Police Number of strikers debated, LRRT complications seen Bowman Spectrum Staff Writer one that caused correctional officers at the Attica and Albion facilities to walk off the job The strike by state prison correction officers and UB University Police spread to the Main Street Campus Monday morning as picketers greeted students at all campus entrances. University Police first walked out Friday night at the Amherst Campus in dispute over a contract offer by the state which was to replace the one which expired April 1. The contract is the same Wednesday. Strikers at the Main Street Campus maintain that the written contract which the state offered them did not include certain provisions which they had been assured of getting in a previously agreed upon verbal contract. The strikers are arguing for a promised annual cost of living increase along with a seven per cent raise. They also demand Inside: Allentown festival survives —P. 4 / ‘ workers’ compensation beyond the ten days of coverage in the proposed contract. Seniority is also seen as a key issue. The striking police officers said that the state wants priority allocation of shift work, days off and job assignments to be based on merit and not bn seniority, but they disagree. Brown noses One striker argued, “I’ve been working here fifteen years and I’m not about to give up the privileges that I’ve earned to some brown-nose.” Director of the Department of Public Safety Lee Griffen isn’t worried about the strike’s effect on University security. “We have 27 supervisory personnel still working who are splitting 12 hour shifts,” he said. “Our priorities have been shifted to the protection of the dorms but we do not believe it will be necessary to hire outside help,” he added.

Bryant explained that the Finance Committee, which he chairs, will deal with requests on the basis of “what is in the best interests of students.” However, not all officials on the Finance Committee and in the various organizations agree on “what is best.” One of the biggest questions revolves around how the money should be allocated in large chunks to broad areas or club by club in specific lines. Bryant, who said the Finance Committee will order its priorities this week, noted that ‘‘it’s easier to SA.

He said, “Numbers could be misleading without all the ir ormation gained from the Finance Committee’s meetings.” Bryant said he would release all the information when the Finance Committee had concluded its budget proposal. The Committee’s proposal must go to the SA Senate for deliberations and approval. If the Senate fails to ratify a budget by the end of the school year, then the SA Executive Committee will be given the task of designing a budget over the summer. Last year, the Executive Committee not only had to prepare a budget, proposal. Both Bryant and SA President a strong preference for completing a budget before the school year ends.

However, raising the fee is not the answer according to Bryant.

The AVS has strongly resisted the Council’s action, saying “we only want to put on an art show.” The Council has tried to come to some reconsiliation with the AVS since February and last week passed nine amendments to the original resolution restricting when and where the merchants could do their selling. But the AVS was apparently not appeased and in a board meeting held last Wednesday decided to withdraw sponsorship. March said he would urge the AVS to reconsider, but if turned down “we’ll go with what we’ve got.” He related it would be advantageous to have the AVS continue as sponsor since AVS has all the experience and liability insurance coverage. 1 I I •——■688-0100-—* HOLD IT STEADY: A sculptor at last year's Allentown Art Festival does his thing as two other heads look on.

The troopers came to Attica in response to growing incidents of violence at the picket lines as the Statewide strike of prison guards approached the end of its first week. (I) OUTSIDE State Corrections Photos by Dennis Floa and Buddy Korotkin Commissioner Richard Hongisto was forced Tuesday to issue an order forbidding all guards duty "absent from without authorization" from carrying guns. The order was triggered by an incident at the Arthur Hills Correctional Facility Sunday night where guards returning from duty at the State Island prison were stopped by six striking guards who allegedly threatened the soldiers with pistols. Closer to home, a striking guard was arrested at Attica Saturday night and charged with obstruction of governmental administration. The guard, Robert Walsh of Vicksburg, allegedly drove around a police roadblock while tailing a bus carrying Nstional Guardsmen leaving the prison. Despite the incidents of violence, negotiations continue between corrections officials and leaders of the striking guards union.

LEARN ABOUT AMERICA'S LANGUAGE HER ITAGE S �jsdaywednesdaywednesdaywedn editorial <0 I SA budget buffoonery Given the integrity of the entire Student Association budget process, it is not surprising that budget requests from various SA groups and clubs total $1.5 million while the total budget is about $900,000. Take away the guaranteed fudning for athletics and the relatively stable allocation to Sub Board I, Inc. and the become almost comical —the clubs saying they "need" something like $928,000 while the remaining money totals only $353,000. Why the obviously inflated requests? Two reasons, one more or less a symptom of the other. The first is, as SA Treasurer Kevin Bryant pointed out, the old standard tactic of asking twice as much as you expect, then settling for what you know you deserve. The second, though, is the poor-conceived and historically chaotic SA budget process itself. Traditionally, budgeting priorities are either non-existent or made up as the process moves along. Instead, they should be proposed early in the second semester, approved by the Financial Committee and the SA Senate and well-advertised before the clubs begin to prepare their budgets. If it is well known that lines like "refreshments" will be frowned upon, the clubs are more likely to leave them out. Secondly, the clubs should know that every dollar that was spent the year before must be accounted for and that foolishly-spent money in one year will count against the organization in the next. Th is has not always been the case; and several organizations that literally waste SA money have not been penalized for it. Thirdly, the word should go out that deliberate over-budgeting will hurt, rather than help organizations that can't bring themselves to prepare an honest request. There be must of discouragement some the "ask-for-twice-what-you-need"- tactic and more active encouragement of reasonable budgeting requests. Fourthly, the anual festivities in the Financial Assembly where competing groups argue with each other while the school year winds away have forced the budget into the hands of the Executive Committee, eliminating any hope of broad-based — — approval. With the Financial Assembly now disbanded because of last month's restructuring referendum, the budget will go to the SA Senate, where we hope it wiH pass without acrimony. These courses, if followed deliberately, from year to year, would restore the integrity of the SA budget process. The more that organizations believe the budgeting process is fairly and honstly executed, the more likely they will be to prepare fair and honest requests; There will always be groups that truly need more money and there will always be groups that feel compelled to ask for more than they-deserve. Once the integrity of the process is established, these exceptions can be handled individually; but until that time budgeting buffoonery will continue to be an annual Student Association event. 83 Wednesday, 25 April 1979 Editor-in-Chief Jay Rosen Campus . .

Mr Clark’s Letter to the Editor (4/18/79) commenting on the issue of divestment of SUNY’s funds in South Africa exposed his obviously naive view of the events and circumstances surrounding the issue. because his views seem to be held bb a number of ill-informed members of this institution 1 feel it necessary to correct any fallacious or erroneous statements. Unfortunately, commenting on all the atrocities and forms of oppression existing in South Africa is impossible within the limitSd space of this column. I address this letter to him. First of all, Mr Clark, your attempt to discount the severity and harshness or the oppression all non-whites must face under the illegitimate South African racist regime by comparing that “government” with other regimes on the continent is not only based on a weak foundation but ultimately absurd. With the exception of Ian Smith’s equally racist regime in Zimbabwe (Rhodesia), no country in Africa can claim to have a government comprised of an outside minority that has systematically denied the indigenous peoples their human rights, dignity, direction, and freedom. You tell us that blacks in South Africa cannot vote as though that were the only form of political denial instituted by the Nationalist (white) government. You fail to understand that non-whites have absolutely no rights 'under this system. The political order in South Africa is one committed to total racial and cultural genocide, controlled and executed by Europeans or the decendents of European colonizers. You tell us, Mr Clark, that of the 49 countries belonging to the Organization of African Unity only four have governments that resemble a' “democracy”. Surely you do not mean to say that because a nation operates under the “one man-one vote” and multi-party principles, all citizens enjoy complete political, cultural, and social freedom? One merely has to look at the past and present condition of minorities in this country to see the weakness of your argument. But then again, you may be surprised to discover that oppression exists under all political systems. By making the statement that the right to vote in some black African countries you infer that the non-whites in South Africa are better off where they are. But because oppression in all forms exists elsewhere does not mean that the most blatant examples should go unchallenged. And, Mr Clark, to satisfy your qualm about “selective demonstrating for divestment have in the past consistently supported human rights causes regardless of political identification. Ideally, funds should be divested from all corporations that support repressive regimes. Unfortunately, that is neither pragmatic nor possible at this time. What must be done is to consistently oppose those governments that excell in oppression. South Africa, Chile, Israel, Nicaragua are among others are within this immediate scope. However, with the current divestment campaign we have a very real opportunity to create a measurable impact on the South African regime. Not only is U.B. conducting a campaign for divestment, but many other colleges and universities are and have succeeded in divesting funds. Without U.S. financial backing the regime in Pretoria will be hard pressed to survive. To allow the regime to handle the “problem” internally reminds me of the attitude and policy held by the western powers towards the Nazis in Germany during the 1930’s. Indeed, the similarities between the two systems are quite astounding. Doesn’t a racial policy that that one race is inferior to another and a government that acts in accordance with this policy sound familiar to you? abuse” when Also, you use the euphemism what you really mean is~ police massacre and torture (e.g., Sharpesville, Soweto, the prison murder of the black leader Stephen Biko, the recent hanging of one of the Soweto uprising leaders, Solomon Mahlangu, among countless others). Incidently Mr Clark, if you can recall your recent high school history lessons, the Nazis did, as far as they were concerned, solve their particular “problem”. / stages — “Police Divestiture of the SUNY funds, derived from vour’s and my tuition money, is merely one of the means that are and will be employed in toppling the 'white racist regime in South Africa. The profits gained from the investments are a direct reflection on the slave labor system in existence in South Africa. With the Patriotic Front (ZANU and ZAPU) in Zimbabwe and SWAPO in Namibia (Southwest Africa) drawing closer to their liberation goals, divestment of SUNY’s funds can only help speed the process of the South African peoples liberation.

The problems of identification, evacuation and housing were brought to mutually satisfactory conclusions. The identification problem can be solved two ways: one is the placing of light-reflective stickers on locations soon; 1 ti 1) The Office of Public Safpty (formerly University Police), 2) The Office of Services to the Handicapped in 149 Goodyear Hall, 3) University Health, and 4) The Office of Environmental Safety. The other means of identifying mobility impaired or disabled individuals for evacuation purposes would be through the addition of a clause in the housing application requesting assignment of rooms on the first two floors. In the event of an emergency, evacuation would be easier. This would also be voluntary and* allow more effective emergency aid.

Business Manager Bill Finkelstein morality” you should have verified your facts before you wrote. The very same people you observed To the Editor Task Force II met Thursday, April 5th to discuss the many problems facing students with The Spectrum Vol. 29, No. Naive views on divestment procedures were deemed satisfactory; however it was pointed out by Mike Schepperly and Colette Ceding that there is a definife need to train personnel in the techniques of aiding and evacuating wheelchair-bound individuals. Housing and Environmental Safety both agreed to co-ordinate this program and to request the P.T. Department to assist with the techniques for tipping and sliding wheelchairs down the steps while occupied; thereby eliminating the danger to those already handicapped. One more agreement of major proportioh was reached; we now have a definition for the term Mobility Impaired. 1) Anyone confined to a wheelchair with a of the entire body, 4) Cardiovascular problems which result in limited use of stairways or walking capabilities. The members of Task Force II vowed that descretion will be the basis for determining housing assignments based on the above criteria. Therefore it is not to be assumed that all handicapped .students will be restricted to the first and second floors in dormitory situations. This is the first that we can honestly say that we came away from a Task Force II meeting feeling that matters of major importance were dealt with properly and effectively. We also took the opportunity to point out that if and when handicapped students were restricted to areas of residence wherein able-bodied students were excluded, that intentionally or unintentionally segregation would exist, and that at no time would that be acceptable in any way, shape or form. Hopefully this pointed out the need for the university to anticipate an influx of students who will require special housing needs. Lack of funds is no excuse to completely halt the modification of the dormitories. WeTe sure that on a well-planned basis, simple modifications can be done gradually, and if these changes are done properly the first time we would realize a dramatic cost savings. The installation of electric doors in the wrong areas, the building of unusable ramps and the pouring of curbs in parking lots and then removal and installation of curb cuts later as well as feeble bathroom modifications that are useless, are creating the soaring costs of modification. We feel that if Housing, Maintenance and Environmental Health and Safety got their act together with the Office of Services to the Handicapped and The Independents, fictitious problems would be eliminated. We have resource people willing to advise on the feasibility or infeasability of any modification, so let’s use them when and where it counts!

Now doesn’t telling someone they will have to go elsewhere and pay more because JR. — of their beliefs sound like a clear DISCRIMINATION? Chicanery in health insurance To the Editor. An Open Letter to the Students of U.B We write to inform you of the political maneuvering and chicanery that have been going on within the Student Association and Sub Board I relating to the issue of forcing students to pay for abortion coverage, against their consciences, in the student health insurance plan. It seems that the (the intolerance which the pro-compulsion pro-mandatory payment) forces have exhibited has afflicted the new SA President, Joel Mayersohn. Mayersohn seems to have made opposition to the reasonable opt-out plan his prime criterion for making new SA appointments to the Sub Board, regardless of the qualifications and interest of the applicants otherwise. This was evidenced by the fact that last week he told an interested student that he need not bother to apply because he is pro-option. He claims that the reason he’s doing this is so he will not undo the work of Jane Baum and Karl Schwarta, who have vigorously sided with the pro-compulsion people. We must ask Mr. Mayersohn: Where is your independence? Where is your sense of justice? Mr. Mayersohn, like Ms. Baum, stands ready to attack and disregard the results of the survey of UB students on the issue (conducted by the President’s Health Insurance Advisory Committee) if they do not come out the way they wish. In sp doing, he may ignore the wishes of a majority of students and relegate them to second-class status, not eligible for an appointment to his Sub Board because they will not join in his tolerance. We ask you this also, Mr. Mayersohn: Are you representing Jane Baum, Karl Schwartz, CARASA, and Women’s Studies College, or are you representing all the students who elected you? The manipulation of this issue by Jane Baum, who chairs Sub Board, should also be made known to you. Jane Baum announced that the Open Forum was scheduled for the date March 8th, months in advance of when it was going to be held. Are we to believe that it was just coincidental that this was International Women’s Day or was it deliberately set cut case of Christopher Dillon for that date so as to make the issue appear to be one of women’s rights? She also set the format for the forum in such a manner as to insure a confrontation between CARASA and us, even though they were arguing abortion and us, the rights of conscience. Then, after having previously said that the survey results were to be a significant factor in shaping next year’s plan, she scheduled the Sub Board vote on the issue for March 22nd before the survey was even completed. She then lobbied for a similar premature vote in the Advisory Committee. If that is not enough, fearing that the will of the students will be contrary to her and the pro-compulsion peoples’ views, she has led the attack on the survey’s credibility. She claims that the survey’s questions on the abortion coverage were biased, even though she helped to dra\y them up! The pro-compulsion people, fearing repudiation in the survey, have even gone to the point of attacking the integrity of the Committee and its member who has supervised the survey even though its results have not yet been made known. Ms. Baum, who publicly said that she voted against the option which she helped to secure from the insurance because she had been “too close” to the company situation, has privately stated that she did so because she was under pressure from some of the Love Canal abomination — — - — ' pro-compulsion people. All this makes us conclude that our sutdent government representatives are responsive to an intolerant activist element on campus, not to the best interests of all the students (and an option plan clearly makes this possible). It appeairs that the new Mayersohn regime will be practicing “politics as usual” at UB. Those of us who wish to protect the integrity of our moral principles are cast aside and told to go elsewhere. The question to you, the students, and particularly^ those of you whose rights have been trampled is this; Do you want your elected student representatives to take their cues from an intollerant, extremist element or are you outraged enough by now to stand up and have your voices heard? The University of Buffalo Rights of Conscience Group To the Editor: the Love Canal is an Lois Gibbs’ recent public statements irrevocably testify to this. The residents of the area, as Ms. Gibbs has indicated, are rightly outraged at the aloofness and incompetence which displaying. Apparently, government the is exploitation of resources by business comes first, while protection of humanity and the environment, at The situation abomination. Ms. most precious resource, our sustaining treasure-house, comes last. This misconstrual of our country’s priorities, itself attributable to the public-be-damned attitude of business, must be reversed. America can no longer, in an age of science and technology, survive on the platitudinous adage of Calvin Coolidge that the business of America is business. The historical performance. of the enterprise system, itself riddled with corruption and inefficiency, should have irrevocably burst this bauble decades ago. Parents and fellow-citizens: think of the they could be children living near the Love Canal yours. Their chemically induced maladies can be remedied. Certainly, with foresight and rational planning they could have been prevented. Love Canal, Three Mile Island, West Valley these, to use Roosevelt’s phrase, are events which shall live in infamy. Their existence is a blight on America. Our national conscience and intelligence should no longer tolerate such unconscionable stupidity. Our governmental leadership must be told to act decisively now or soon face the wrath of an angered our — — - electorate. David Slive �00 Convention Center » a.

BOARD joHt WC fsaS^reXT"'T* ' < ° �«no OPENING LINESOn March 26, Federal judge Robert W. Warren, for the first time in U.S. history, issued a court order preventing a journal from publishing an article. The article, entitled “The H-Bomb Secret. How We Got It. Why We're Telling It,’’ was to appear in the April issue of a small pacificst-populist magazine based in Wisconsin, The Progressive. Written by a 36-year-old free lance writer, Harold Moorland, it detailed in a non-technical manner the processes that go into the fabrication of a thermonuclear device, or H-bomb. Despite the fact that all of Moorland’s research was culled from non-classified. often popular publications and from interviews with nuclear scientists and engineers who were fully aware of what is and what is not sensitive information. Judge Warren issued a preliminary injunction quashing the article. Judge Warren thus concurred with the United States Government, the plaintiff in the case, that the article divulged secrets that are invaluable to national security. The first American case of prior journalistic restraint, or censorship as it’s more widely known, came into being. <D ? a weekly supplement scientists to create an H-bomb, prerequisites that quite simply a terrorist group or a small Third World nation like Uganda don’t have and won’t have for the forseeable future.) Rather, The Progressive editor maintains, the government in the guise of the Department of Energy is intent on keeping a veil of secrecy over a vital issue, the proceudres and hazards of the business that is weapons manufacture. Below is an article by Managing Editor Denise Sturnpo examining the controversial Progressive issue and its perhaps ominous reprecussions for the freedom of the press and the public’s right to know. The only other time the government has tried to muzzle a newspaper or journal prior, to the publication of an article was in 1971 when the Nixon administration unsuccessfully tried to enjoin The Washington Post and The New York Times from publishing the explosive Pentagon Papers, also for reasons of national security. The Progressive and publications around the country The New York Times to Sientific American have action, as a clear abridgement of the First decried the Amendmeprt freedoms of speech and press. In the May issue o/The Progressive, the magazine’s editor scoffs at the government's contention that sensitive secrets are unveiled in the article, possibly enabling an unstable lunatic like Idi Amin to obtain a bomb.

On March 26, Wisconsin judge Robert Warren issued an injunction barring publication of the “H-bomb” article. This first exercise of prior restraint by a federal judge has set the U.S. media and citizens alike in an uproar over selective enforcement of the First Amendment. By Warren’s own admission, the decision “severely curtails” the freedom of the press and the public’s right to know. The restraining order also threatens to set a dangerous precedent if it is not overturned. Samual Day, Managing Editor of Progressive The told The Spectrum Monday that he is now busy preparing the magazine’s appeal to the U.S. Circuit Court, to be filed by May 14. “We’re optimistic,” he remarked, “but it’s a gamble, like any court decision. If they look at the facts, they should decide in our favor.” The magazine’s editors have vowed to take the issue to the Supreme Court if necessary and have pledged to readers that the H-bomb article will eventually appear.

One of the scientists who routinely reviews The Progressive's copy for accuracy passed the article on to Rathjens, who ironically had been consulted by Morland in preparing the story. Through prior agreement with the DOE, none of the information Morland given to during interviews and tours at seven U.S. weapons manufacturing plants was “classified” or illegal in fact, Morland’s sources at the time acknowledged that all they said had been previously published.

The army column, composed 'of Ugandan exiles and Tanzanian regulars proceeded on to the infamous domocile of the deposed dictator. What they found was appalling. Mutilated bodies, with crushed skulls and severed limbs littering a gruesome chamber of horrors a torture chamber right below the gadget-crammed, medal-bedecked living quarters of Idi Amin. The soldiers then ransacked the building, carrying off souvenirs of their successful assault. One soldier ambled off with a white British navy cap left behind by Amin in his hasty flight from the capitol. Eleven days after the liberation of Kampala on April 12 Tanzanian soldiers swept through Uganda's second largest city, Jinja, where remnants of Amin’s retreating army were supposed to be holding out under the command of their leader. But there was to be no last ditch battle, the defending army fled in the wake of the advancing artillery barrage. And Amin himself was nowhere to be found.

With Amin’s seven-year reign now apparently over, most of the world has heaved a long awaited sigh of relief. Catapulted to the nation’s helm by a coup which deposed former President Milton Obote, the mercurial dictator engaged in a series of bloody escapades which outraged the civilized world. One of his first actions was the expulsion of thousands of Asians, many of them highly skilled and educated. This racist inspired move ultimately backfired, depriving the developing nation of an indispensible cadre of merchants and technicians. Besides bringing on a wave of worldwide condemnation, the expulsion proved a terrible blow to the economy of the nation. to the Commando assault Amin’s secret police viciously suppressed any suspected opposition. Non-Muslims (Amin is a Muslim), Christians, Asians and the educated were all targets of his incessant purges. An estimated 200,000 persons met their death at the hands of the Amin regime. The despot tilted his foreign policy sharply leftward, embracing alliances with the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) and leftist Arab nations. His complicity in the PLO hijacking of an Israeli commercial also trying to convince my mother to go.

But if my mother says so... well, they gotta believe. airliner in 1973 ended in the debacle,of Entebbe, when an Israeli commando force stormed the plane in a bloody gun battle that freed most of the hostages. Only a few years before, Amin was receiving military and economic aid from the Jewish state which single-handedly designed and built the Entebbee airport, a factor which proved an invaluable asset to the eventual commando assault. Now that the nightmare is over, Uganda can look ahead to a political and economic future not washed in the blood of Amin’s rule. Uganda’s new interim leader, Yususfu Lule, t former President of Kampala University, has declared a new era of economic and democracy liberty, development. Already the Americans and the British have reopened their long-vacant Ugandan embassies. The African nation can expect substantial Western aid to repair the damage of Amin’s seven years of economic ruin, political repression and mass murders. According to Time magazine, not a single school or road was built during the dictator’s rule. And Uganda has been called the “basket case” of Africa by the U.S. State Department. But according to UB political scientist and expert on African affairs, Claude Welch, a hjate-aijd difficult road lies ahead. “A lot ofpmhiiaV scores will be settled in the coming months,” Welch warned, “there will be a lot of anarchy.” Throughout his reign, Amin played favorites with the Islamic minority, while harassing and murdering the Christian population, black and white. The Ugandan Christians, as well as the Islamic fundamentalists and allied political groups in Iran, are aching to exact a bloodthirsty revenge. Welch believes that the new president, Yususfu Lule, will turn out to be only a transient figure, with former President Obote undoubtedly entering the scene soon. AND Interesting electives In Humanities �i | Palestinian statehood question crucial to accords by Avinath Mathur 'I over. The treaty itself seems to be when economic woes are plaguing the nation. The concensus in Congress is that if this aid will prevent another dangerous Mid-East war, it is well worth it. The two sides have agreed to rather vague regarding the future of the West Bank, Jerusalem and Palestinian self-rule. The major achievement is seen to be the return of the Sinai to Egyptian control. Israel has agreed to complete the withdrawal in two phases. First, it will evacuate military and civilian personnel from about two-thirds of the Sinai in a nine-month period following estimated at $13.4 billion. This whopping sum is to be given to Egypt and Israel as sophisticated weaponry and economic aid over the next three years. The arab world has condemned the massive monetary infusion as political bribery. There appear, however, to be no significant misgivings in Congress about pumping billions into Egypt’s economy at a time continue mutual security arrangements. The U.S. is to continue surveillance flights over the region to assure adherence to the pact. During the phased withdrawal, U.N. peace-keeping forces are to be stationed on both sides of the border. However, U.N. Secretary General Kurt Waldheim has advised the fragile peace. It seems that* after the euphoric and festive beginnings of the treaty signing, a more somber mood has taken Egypt could be in trouble even with the billions promised to the beleaguered country by the U.S. The unanimity of the Arab world in their condemnation of the peace pact casts serious doubts on whether Sadat and Begin can convince leaders of other front-line states to Join in.

Against all odds, the persistent efforts of Carter finally resulted in what seems to be outstanding achievement. Jimmy Carter, with all the zeal and conviction of a southern evangelist, left for the Middle East when negotiations bogged down after initial successes at Camp David. The political pundits warned Carter against associating himself too closely with the region’s insuperable problems lest his sagging popularity plummet further. Such warnings did not dissuade the President from making this momentous trip. He felt that only a dramatic move would jolt the two leaders from theirrecalcitrant positions. Though this has been hailed as a first step towards a comprehensive settlement, it has provoked a virulent reaction from the Arab world. Arabs feel that this E g y p t i a n Is r a e I i rapproachement strikes a near death-blow at Arab unity by practically ignoring Palestinian demands for an independent state and legitimizing the annexation of Arab lands by Israel.

Maggiotto Public Interest News Service * CO explained Under the present law, the Board’s primary duty as the saying goes, and if is to give money to victims of crimes. Under this State Assemblyman Joseph legislation, the Board would “actively speak for and R. Lentol (D-Brooklyn) is approved, this adage will advocate the rights and interests of victims throughout the State,” Lentol said. This does not take oh a new meaning. Lentol’s bill, which recently passed in the include representing individual victims in court cases. Lentol hopes this bill will restore faith in the Assembly, calls for the imposition of fines on those convicted of violent crimes. The fines would help criminal justice system and eventually, reduce the compensate for the damages to their victims. The rate of violent crime. He cited studies showing that measure would establish a schedule of fines based on nearly one half of violent crimes in large cities go the severity 6f the offense, ranging from a $250 fine unreported because of citizens’ lack of faith in the for a class A-l felony to a $20 fine for a class B justice system. Crime doesn t pay, legislation sponsored by misdemeanor. The money would be appropriated to the State’s Crime Victims Compensation Board. “It is time we acted to offset the increasing costs of our crime victims program by establishing the principle that persons who commit criminal acts must repay society for the damage they cause,” said Lentol. The Compensation Board is expected to approve approximately 3,000 awards next year, totalling more than $6 million. Lentol said his legislation would provide an estimated $2.1 million to help offset this expense. Broadened power Although it might seem that most criminals would be unable to pay a fine, an examination of New York City court records showed that more than 30 percent of those convicted of felonies and 40 percent of those convicted of misdemeanors were able to hire lawyers. A second measure sponsored by Lentol complements the first bill by expanding the functions of the Crime Victims Compensation Board “It broadens its powers and duties to make it act as an advocate of crime victims,” Lentol Improve the system The Board offers payment for non-reimbursed medical expenses, loss of earnings or support, and for funerals for eligible victims. To recieve an award, which can take up to six months to process, victims must demonstrate financial need. To receive full restitution for damages, a crime victim must sue the convicted individual in civil court. The special problems of senior citizens victimized by crime would be handled by an investigative unit to expedite the processing of their claims. The bill would also promote the establishment of a volunteer program of home visits to elderly and invalid victims of violent crimes. These two bills are the main pieces of LentoTs larger program of legislation designed to improve the criminal justice system.i He is considering more legislation which would place convicts on the labor market and would garnishee their wages to pay for their crimes. Because of the bill’s potential effect on the labor market, Lentol is waiting for “some comment” from the AFL-CIO before introducing the legislation. Both bills are still in Senate committees, where similar bills introduced last year died. j Audio S Visual I Presentation of TAIWAN’S POLITICAL FUTURE Capen’s vast collection by Poetry and rare books here by Michael Delia Staff Writer Spectrum Paintings, statues, eyeglasses and manuscripts have one thing in common: they’re all a part of the University’s vast poetry and Rare Books Collection. Located on the fourth floor of Capen Hall, the collection has been a focal point of international literary scholarship for over 40 years. “Most twentieth century poets of eminence are represented by manuscript material in the collection,” says acting curator Eric Carpenter. The collection, with its manuscripts by James Joyce, Dylan Thomas, William Carlos Williams and Robert Graves, has attracted scholars from as far away as India and Japan. The credit for the collection’s lies very much with Charles Abbott, the first librarian of Lockwood Library. Abbott, when appointed 1935 in reputation Lockwood Library was new, was immediately faced with the problem of distributing the “slim capital resources” available for the needs of faculty and students in research and education. Abbott felt that the Library “could not build for all fancied future demands and do the job well.” In turn, he decided to select one area in which the Library ' would specialize with an “absolute thoroughness, and a completeness that would omit nothing.” A paradise for bibliographers Abbott’s-ardent love for poetry determined the area in which the Library would concentrate. He strove, piece by piece, to form a collection of books containing every text by a twentieth century poet written in English. He struggled unremittingly to reach the unattainable goal of a "bibliographer’s paradise:” providing the complete of a poet’s work” under one roof. Abbott collected manuscripts and worksheets including all the tangible papers the poet uses in “sequential body Wake. in writing a poem.

Israel wants Jordan to a Palestine run by the Palestine and Syria to join in on these negotiations. However, Israel wants this on its own terms; without the assumption that much in the way of territorial concessions will be made to the two countries. The Palestinians feel that the Begin-Sadat treaty will contribute nothing towards their goal of statehood. It is rather ironic that Egypt is now standing on the docks in the Islamic world while it has been the Lebanese, Syrians and Jordanians who have been actually fighting the PLO in recent years. If Sadat succeeds in obtaining an independent Palestinian state, he could easily regain his former position as the leader of the Arab world. At this point, that seems highly unlikely. Peace in the Mid-East seems doomed to remain a dream unless a just solution is found for the crucial Palestinian question. — — — TUCK AWAY A LITTLE TWOFINGERS. The Two Fingers T-shirt.

A Department of Energy study reports that alcohol distilled from organic materials could replace 30 per cent of the nation’s annual fuel A liquid consumption. and automobile manufacturers. In the past year a steady stream of U.S. scientists, farm groups, sugar cane refiners, auto company officials and investors have flown to Brazil to study various aspects of the new energy program. Brazil’s gasohol production swung into high gear after the 1973-74 oil crisis tripled Brazil’s foreign oil bill to $4 billion and threatened to cripple its vaunted “economic miracle.” Brazil had an advantage over other countries it had been blending alcohol — (ethanol) with gasoline since the early 1-930’s as a convenient was to dispose of surplus sugar stocks. Between 1976 and 1978, Brazilian ethanol production registered a nine-fold increase, and fuels ■* w H s government has now outlawed # such dumping, but is unable to 2 | effectively enforce the ban. Brazilian researchers are Already the entire city of Sao Paulo is fueled by the blend which, with carburetors adjusted to the leaner fuel mix, delivers the same mileage as regular Brazilian gasoline. by Studies Volkswagen-Brazil show carbon monoxide emissions in the 20 per cent blends cut by half, hydrocarbon emissions cut by more than a third, and nitrogen oxide emissions up only slightly. Federal coercion The same major oil companies that so far have resisted development of gasohol in the U.S. have been forced by the Brazilian government to sell' the 20 per cent blends. Texaco, Exxon and Shell all offer the blend to Brazilian motorists at over $1.50 a gallon. Production costs for the ethanol blends are somewhat under 90 cents, compared to 45 cents per gallon for imported oil. But imported oil cuts heavily into Brazil’s tight supply of foreign currency. The Brazilian engine automotive Some 773 government test vehicles have already logged 8,000,000 kilometers “under every possible condition.” General Motors’ Brazilian subsidiary recently modified a fleet of buses to run on pure Alcohol-powered alcohol.

A study recently completed by the Centro of imported petroleum. de di Promom Technologia concluded that profitable markets could eventually be found for most of the “slop residues. The fledgling U.S. alcohol fuels industry clearly will not depend on sugar cane, except perhaps in Hawaii and a few Southern states. Yet a wide range of organic materials whose “slops” have far higher market value than sugar could be distilled; diseased and damaged com, wheat, cheese whey, sorghum, sugar beets, wood pulp and garbage. A number of small distilleries suitable for use by farmers, rural co-operatives, and even urban businesses are now being developed by the U.S. Far less than their costly Brazilian counterparts, they could enable a number of small large entrepreneurs to enter the alcohol fuels industry. The U.S. Department of Agriculture has extended a $30 guarantee million loan for construction of two experimental new Brazil’s minister of distilleries this year. Numerous agriculture, Antonio Delfim bills have also been introduced in Netto, hopes that these areas Congress, mostly by farm state to encourage could help stem the flood of rural representatives, immigrants to the overcrowded gasohol production. cities of Sao Paulo and Rio de products could allow these new Janerio. The government is also trying to develop manioc, a starchy root crop cultivated primarily by the rural poor, as an alcohol source. Manioc, which is used to produce tapioca, grows well in marginal soils, can be harvested year round, and could provide a new source of income for small farmers. If two per cent of the nation’s land mass was put into energy production, all of Brazil’s annual liquid fuel needs could be met by alcohol. Detrimental by-products The current ethanol expansion program has not come without a serious environmental cost. The nation’s rivers are being used as dumping grounds for the “slop” by-product sugar of cane distillation. For every one liter of sugar alcohol distilled, up to 13 gallons of these watery “slops" are produced. As they decay in the rivers, they rob the water of oxygen and kill fish. The Z‘ jrK T Battle lines energy While most of the companies in Americi still argue that the fuel is not economical because it takes more energy to produce it than it gives back, at least one company has gone a step beyond gasohol. Mobil Oil claims it has patented a process which distills alcofiol into gasoline. Other energy companies, which own large coal reserves, argue that it is more economical to produce methanol from coal than to produce ethanol from grain. Both substances can be blended with gasoline. battle lines in the Thus, controversy are being drawn between small entrepreneurs and conglomerates, energy farm interests and coal producers. In the absence of a determined government policy favoring one process or another, the battle over gasohol can be expected to heat up right along with rising gasoline prices. w elAv' - Book up to the last minute Stay as tong as you want Go one-way Of round trip Ry into one dty—return from another* No standbyrequired Al scats confirmed angM* on Trans InternationalAMnes. • • ? • • • FROM JFK ROUND HUP *899—389 *319—409 *529—599 Paris Zurich/Geneva Te4-Aviv engine.

Oswego grabbed a 1-0 lead in the first inning of the opener and never looked back, building a solid lead with lone runs that came mostly as a result of Royal errors. .The lead was well protected by Oswego’s Chris Hughes, who went all the way to earn the victory, as did teammate Noreen Cooney in hurling a two-hit whitewash in the second contest. UB starting hurler Andrea wildness allowed Oswego’s third, and eventually winning, run to cross the plate in the fourth frame of the first game. Rosenhaft’s After allowing a single by Marianne Sikora, she walked the next two batters to load the bases with no cuts. Rosenhaft then struck out Kyle Kilga, seemingly having regained her control, but Jackie Bishop’s RBI single to right field drove in the big run. Oswego attempted to score the player from second on Bishop’s hit, but she was gunned down at the plate by right fielder Jean West’s perfect throw. the visitors’ fourth marker shortstop Hllen Hanafin’s long sacrifice fly to ieft in the fifth inning. Karen Grafmuller, the player who tallied from third, had reached third base on a single and a pair of wild pitches. The Royals broke through in the bottom of the fifth, although it was a case of too little too late. Patty Wheelock singled to drive in the first run, and then scored herself on Kerry Kultsek’s squeeze after having moved to third on Karen Scrubski’s single. Oswego padded its 4-2 lead with a couple of runs built around Sikora’s double over left fielder Wheelock’s head in the sixth.

Unto the sixth, Oswego had led 1-0 on the strength of Kilga’s third inning single and three subsequent bases on balls allowed by UB hurler April Zolczer. Zolczer finally tired during Oswego’s game deciding sixth frame, after allowing singles to Cindy Stover and Sikora, hitting opposing pitchers Cooney and walking Kilga to force in a run with none out.

The problem is not as simple as putting a flame-throwing southpaw on the mound or sending a .400 hitter to the plate. It’s much deeper, with roots going back 10 years to the day riots began to rip through Buffalo’s East Side. Dodge Street, a narrow pothole-infested passage, running parallel the third base grandstand at War Memorial Stadium, is dark. Scattered streetlights do no more than reflect the many dents present on the hoods of the cars, packed bumper to bumper in front of the sagging shacks which line the street. to At twilight, before game time, the street is still bright, dotted with children holding up shapeless cardboard signs which beg patrons of Bison Baseball to let them park their cars for $1 half the regular rate. Few people cooperate, but the kids don’t give up until the third inning, when they sneak past the gate, grab a seat in right field, scream at the players, chase foul balls and, on the whole, have a hell of a good time. The gravel spaces in the nearby $2 parking lots are stark, loaded with the rubble of gutted buildings that once stood there. While lines are non-existant, but with the aid of a parking attendant or two, the cars neatly line up into three rows, or more, depending on the crowd. The positive aspect of parking is that the lots are indeed patrolled by security guards for the duration of the game. In total, 10 private security guards and six Buffalo police are on hand for each game, in addition, Buffalo traffic police handle any traffic snarls that might - develop. Day games at War Memorial have been a breeze for the patrolmen. Crowds of two and three thousand passed through the gate over the weekend, without a incident. Although it’s early in the season, already a small, genuine following has been started by those fans. The Bisons have come to bat in crucial situations, and the fans have responded with roaring chants. Sparkling plays in the field have been greeted with standing ovations, and questionable calls from the men in blue (not the police; the umpires) have been met with boisterous blasts that send boos echoing into the empty bleachers beyond the centerfield fence.

Then to add insult to injury, the UB bats suddenly cooled off, providing him with virtually no offence. But low and behold Hesketh remedied the situation on the mound, and the bats finally warmed up. Buffalo edged Brockport 1-0 in game one, and then destroyed their foe in the night cap, 13-1. “The mound really threw off rhythm,” noted Hesketh. “Where you push off, there was a big dip. And without my curve, I had to depend on my slider.” Luckily, the slider was enough. In four innings, Buffalo’s top hurler scattered two hits and wal «d one batter. my “I didn’t get in any trouble at all,” Hesketh grinned, “In fact the guy 1 walked 1 later picked off.” , But while Hesketh was holding size crowd out there and the Brockport bats in check, the everybody cheered that play.” Bulls were having equal hassles Whatever kept Buffalo from trying to muster up any attack. scoring runs in the initial game “They (Brockport) kept turning instantly vanished in the second over double plays,” remarked contest.

Those faithful fans who did wander out, arrived at 7 p.m. when the sun was still shining and the lights on the stadium’s roof were barely discernible. By the game’s third inning, the sun had long set and the test was on. Out in right center field, two people took advantage of the dim, foggy atmosphere; what might be called a cheap date! i The next serious result of the night ball game came in the fourth inning. Deep in the comer of left field, a Buffalo outfielder was mugged by the temporary plywood wall trying to flag down a fly ball. Indeed, the lighting is poor out there compared to the rest of the park, and yes, there were no cops to come to the stricken left-fielder’s aid. But the victim took matters into his own hands by putting a crushing dent into the fence before limping away, muttering a few choice words at the attacker. .BULLS Track TOm PAXTON & Field - - - a JOHN ROBERTS S' TONY BflRRflND ED TRICKETT DICK KOHLESJRIO Bib w.

Although an opening date has not been set for the operation, the long-awaited bookstore is expected to set off the development of the Parcel B commercial complex. Although plans for developing the Amherst Campus tract of land have lagged continually in the hands of its orchestrator the University of Buffalo Foundation (UBF), Foundation President John Carter maintains that Follett’s $1 million construction plan will kick-off development of the entire complex. Follett regional manager John Balagna said that architectural plans are waiting for final approval in Albany. The one level store will, as scheduled, occupy 20,000 to 25,000 square feet of spake. A portion of this area is slated for academically-oriented books that will be recommended by UB faculty. Follett’s contractual agreement was part of the deal which leased the UB bookstores to the corporation last Fall. Carter expects the project to be the cornerstone of Parcel B slated to include banks, retail stores, restaurants and perhaps a McDonalds. Plans for the commercial development of the 15.6 acre parcel of land west of Lake LaSalle between Clemens Hall and the Ellicott have been tossed around by UBF since 1976. Back then, Complex construction was expected to'begin in the very near future. - - Next year’s Spring semester opening date represents a four-month delay from Follett’s original Fall 1980 projection. An April 1976 issue of the Reporter quoted Carter on a target date of September 1977 “for, occupancy of the shopping mall.” In August 1977, The Spectrum reported that UBF finished up lease negotiations with the State Division of the Budget and could thus “reopen negotiations with private developers.” At that time, Fall 1978 was looked to as a possible, yet not likely, date for commercial operation. Set an example The UBF’s dependence upon Follett is not disguised. According to —continued on - page 2— monday Vol. 29. No. 82 / SUMY at Buffalo / 23 April 1979 Biology division reunited under a modified curriculum by Kathleen McDonough Campus Editor The Department of Biological Sciences, tangled in internal divisiveness for several years, has adopted a new curriculum, which appears to be the first step in sewing together its two divisions. While the charge appears to have a negligible impact on students, it may begin to pull a divided faculty together under Chairman Om Bahl. In 1974, the department split into two separate divisions Environmental and Organismal Biology (E&O) and Cell and Molecular (CMB). Undergraduate students majored 'tn one 'rif the two divisions, and were permitted to take only four credits from the other without petitioning. Bahl said some of the impetus for the new curriculum came from recommendations of an external review committee. According to Bahl, members of the committee endorsed the interdivisional major in which a student was required to take courses from both divisions over a straight major in either one. The committee’s report, which ultimately wound up in the hands of Vice President for Academic Affairs Ronald Bunn, recommended integrating the divisions. The new curriculum revolves around a “core sequence” of three courses: Cell Biology, Molecular Biology, and, from E&O, — — — Evolutionary Biology. After taking either cell or molecular lab, a student must take 20 additional credits. He can concentrate in either area, or mix his courses. Introductory Biology longer be used for can no major credit. Divisions eliminated The net effect is that those who concentrate in CMB must take one course from E&O, while those concentrating in E&O must take two courses in the other area. Bahl said that the new plan, to be implemented this fall, will eliminate any divisions on the undergraduate level. He said that eventually, “after E&O is built up,” the two divisions will be abolished in the graduate school to be replaced by areas such as the environment or genetics. Although there are no divisions, each course has not only a number designating but also initials whether it was CMB professor Gayler Harford, ■who served on the committee which proposed the format of the curriculum change, said that the committee received advice from students and faculty through informal discussions. Harford said the three core courses will build a —continued on page 2— Suit charges police photography unconstitutional - - The Buffalo Police Department has been named in a $500,000 lawsuit charging illegal surveillance of public specifically, police demonstrations photography at Wednesday’s anti-nuclear rally. David Jay and Barbara Morrison, American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) affiliated attorneys who commenced the suit, seek to prevent the police from taking pictures at future rallies and to recover all photos taken at previous rallies. The attorneys’ legal papers claim that the surveillance function of the police department’s Anti-Subversive Squad includes “identifying persons by name and description, photographing their presence and keeping dossiers on such persons.” The class action suit declares that police activity at the downtown rally was in violation of the first and 14th amendments — which protect a person’s freedom of speech and right to assemblle from improper official interference. Routine photographic documentation at public rallies inhibits citizens from participating demonstrations, it is claimed. Senior Deputy Corporation Counsel James J. McLoughlin has denied that this type of police surveillance violates anyone’s rights. “We consider it to be a proper investigative technique which the police department may use, and we do not feel it is violative of anybody’s rights, civil or otherwise,” said McLoughlin as quoted by the Courier Express. The ACLU has quite a different idea. ‘Tm taken aback that they would try to revive the tactics of the Sixties,” said Killian Vetter ACLU executive director in Buffalo. “With the CIA and FBI Inside: Effects of Springer Reporter. 4 / UN Police on strike—P. 5 revelations, i thought aHjhat was behind us,” he told The Spectrum. “The Buffalo Police are like the . Bourbons of Franck. They forget nothlrlg and know nothing.” Thursday’s suit was initiated on behalf of two Buffalo men, Jonathan Welch and Daniel Pfoltzer. Welch was at a previous anti-nuclear demonstration and helped organize Wednesday’s rally. Pfoltzer attended a recent abortion rally also held at Niagara Squire. The federal lawsuit, however, takes a broader scope and names as its plaintiffs “all persons who have, or will in the future, become participants in pubbic meetings in the City o/ Buffalo.” The City has 20 days to file an answer to the complaint, which names Police Commissioner James Cunningham and photographer Nelson DiPasquale as defendants.

In he would even another course to one in anatomy or ecology. No cuts Although most professors agree with the principal of the new curriculum, there were some abstentions on the vote at the E&O meeting, Sidie said. But he felt the atmosphere had improved greatly under _Bahl and he expected a strong future for the department.

Bahl said that the department the right has improved greatly during his years as chairman, and is now “top priority in the Faculty (Faculty of Natural Sciences and along with Mathematics] Chemistry and Computer Science.” His next project, Bahl said, is to check into departmental advisement the aim being for Biology professors to take over all advisement of accepted majors. — Bahl, whose term ends this year, said he is not certain whether he will seek another term as chairman. Faculty cuts, and where they will fall, appear to,be the key factor. Bahl said he has an “understanding” with the Natural Sciences add Mathematics Dean that four new faculty positions (mostly in E&O) will be added in the next two years. “They can cut other lines, but they can’t cut my department’s,” he said. �i CO s 0 I < Photo* HERE FOR THE BEER: 70 kegs latar, at about 4 p.m. Friday, tha party was over and tha sun was fading.

For by Daniel S. Parker Newi Editor The new UB. Most visions of the new UB include a completed Amherst Campus, with large lecture halls, a new gymnasium, a chain of commercial stores (Parcel B), and firmly established University bustling with students. But the plans for that new UB are still stalled in Albany, caught in a web of State politics and politicking. However, there will be a new UB here next fall’, at least for the faculty and students of the Division of Undergraduate Education. The Springer Report the now imfamous catchall phrase for major modifications is - — scheduled to be implemented in September. Gone will be the uniform system of four credit courses. In its place will be a menagerie of new credit systems and varying example, the English Department may increase its requirements from 10 to 14 courses the majority of which would be valued at 3 credits. In fact, the general well be to pattern may increase departmental requirements based on the corresponding decrease in individual credits per course. Although credits may well be less per course, pre-requisites probably will not change. Pre-requisites will be measured in courses, rather than credits thus, sutdents will accumulate fewer credits while gaining acceptance as a departmental major, but take more courses once accepted. degree requirements. But the new UB leaves a lot of unanswered questions. How many credits will be needed to graduate? How will the various departments alter their existing courses and degree requirements? How many classes will students be taking? Will pre-requisites for various majors be changed? What does Springer Implementation mean to the individual student? In evaluating Springer the Implementation plans, one thing becomes clear few of the changes are uniform; thus each Faculty and School within the University will be affected differently. Although the UB Administration has just completed a University-wide “grandfather clause,” designed to ease the transition from the current structure to next year’s, the grandfathering only applies to the total number of credits a student needs to graduate. That number has stood at 128 total credits for several years. But Springer changes all that. atleast temporarily. For example, students who have completed 88 credit hours by next Fall will now need six less to graduate. Any student with at least 24 completed credit hours by September I, 1979 will need four less credits than the 128 currently required.

UUAB, she suggested, should divide its budget into semesters to assure an equitable amount of spending throughout the year. This year, the Music Committee overspent its budget last semester.

Nuclear effort To the Editor. 1 would like to commend The Spectrum for its excellent coverage of issues pertaining to nuclear power and nuclear weapons. These issues are of special concern because our response to them will determine the future, or whether there will be a future at all. Lucky for us, Denise Stumpo, Rob found itself after all. But the struggle against nuclear power must encircle the corporate/state juggernaut that aloowed 70 nuclear power plants to go on line in this country and exported the technology for hundreds of others overseas. It must point at Three Mile Island, Metropolitan Edison and Babcock and Wilcox, but only as an introduction to a rigid examination of the nuclear industry and all that it says about economic and political power in this country. If we had demanded regulatory agencies that were true guardians of the public; if we had demanded banks that did not ignore their social responsibilities; if we had demanded leaders that would have opened the the debate on nuclear power while we could still reject it totally; if we had demanded a federal government that dedicated itself to renewable energy sources like the sun when it was prudent, but not yet profitable; if we had demanded an educational system that at least questioned our fanatical faith in technology to wipe away mistakes of the present; if we had demanded the proper mix of restraint and reason as atomic energy developed, we would not be meeting in Washington next month to begin an attack on such a well-fortified bunker of corporate control as nuclear power. The anti-nuclear movement has the responsibility to keep clearly in mind what nuclear power says about power of all kinds. Protest for its own sake can only mollify this attitude until the movement becomes mere self-absorption. Last week's demonstration in front of Marine Midland bank wisely exposed the fabric that the nuclear industry has been cut from corporate domination of energy supply and policy and citizen reluctance to hold institutions responsible for ' ' ’ their acts. So, injooking toward May and all that should be protested, this should be our first demand: the framework of thought that guides the anti-nuclear movement must be as complex and carefully drawn as the forces that put those 70 reactors on line. Let's keep that in our sights. — , The Spectrum * Vol. 29, No. 82 To the Editor. You print all letters. Print this one.

These are supposed to be student services and until the attitude of you guys changes you provide the student no services. It’s worth a thought. Paul Sauna • exi > by Jay Rosen Warm spring days are good because they make me forget that basically, beneath all else, this is Frustration U. We all know how jtudents become frustrated, if they weren’t already frustrated upon arriving here; but frustration within the faculty is not so obvious, mainly because we’re too busy complaining to notice it. The first thing to know about this place is that it’s unique. All of higher education is in trouble, all large, public universities are in trouble, all SUNY schools are in trouble; but still, given all that, SUNY Buffalo is special no other school has a set of problems that compares so meagerly to its set of solutions. All of which creates a year-to-year frustration, — as follows: It’s no folktale, this place was advertised as the “Ber eley of the East” in the 1960s. There are hundreds and hundreds of faculty members who were shown the full-color brochure with the fields and the streams and the neat little academic communities. Looking to share in some wild, untamed vision of higher education’s future, they slapped down a down payment and moved out here with more hopes than a stadium full of Jehovas Witnesses.. Yessir, they bought their academic dream house then found out that the developer had left town, leaving them stuck with nothing but a muddy plot of land and the paperwork of the dreambuilders. So now, everyone jokes nervously or denies ever hearing about the “Berkeley of the East”; it’s like admitting you enjoyed the Monkees as a teenager. A few professors with a good sense of humor admit to being suckered and have a reasonably good time doing it. Nevertheless, frustration among the visionaries, who feel cheated. Sandwiched around the visionaries are two other frustrated groups: the Old Guard and the Eager Beavers. The Old Guard are the professors who, of course, have been here for a while. They were a little dazed by the etherizing rhetoric that fooled the visionaries, but they kept a healthy sense of skepticism about it all and didn’t feel shattered when , Monday, 23 April 1979 Cohen, and others atTVie Spectrum have persevered throughout the year to provide us with thoughful, informed articles that hopefully have generated the kind of discussions that are urgently needed on these subjects. I wish to thank these writers for their efforts. Worth a thought Certainly there is a moral choice to be made in the nuclear power issue. It is a moral choice to live for the solutions of the future, rather than gorge ourselves off the problems of the present. If that choice somehow becomes a generational theme then the Me Decade may have . IN . C-) . 1 < The announcement of a national march against nuclear power May 6 in Washington. D.C., brings corporate America its first warning that the anti-nuclear movement's goal will be to parlay the Three Mile Island accident into a societal revolt against the decision that built our future aroijpd atmonic energy As the debate intensifies and the nation takes up sides, it will be important to prevent the nuclear issue from leaving its context an energy crisis inextricably bound by the power of corporate America. Most societal problems are also symptoms; that is, they are subsets of larger problems. Nuclear power now threatens to be the first national reckoning with the dark truth emtombed in America's subconscious since Hiroshima we can destroy the world, if not for then future generations. If the intensity of that realization ourselves for is left to boil over at demonstrations like the May 6 march and becomes the focus of the issue, then all the learning we can draw from nuclear power in this country, all the larger problems that come clearly into view when the nuclear debate is sophisticated, may be lost in the kind of emotional strife that only Vietnam can summon from our mondaymondaymondaymon everyone began admitting that such optimism had gotten out of hand. That was somewhere between 1971 and 1973. Since then, though, life has changed for the Old Guard, who are the senior members of their departments fully-tenufed, union-protected, supposedly-respected, all that. You see, there just isn’t that much money around anymore; it’s hard to find a secretary who will type a letter to a colleague. These guys used to just teach their graduate seminars (which were regurgitations of their area of expertise), read a lot, write a few articles when the weather got bad and basically enjoy the leisurely life of a senior professor, who makes his own demands. But now, there’s pressure on to alter those seminars by including the notion that this is 1979. The Old Guard must suddenly face that wretched group of grade-hungry cannibals, undergraduates, or at least the problems created by undergraduates. Since departments are battling each other for the - scraps of meat the Administration throws them, there isn’t that warm feeling of “collegiality” anymore, which is sort of what football players teel for each other near the end of a successfuLseason. The Old Guard is inconvenienced by the austerity of the times, disgusted by the need to cater to undergraduates, cynical abou t real change and threatened by certain trends in higher education that may make them either a.) obsolete or b.) wor ifor a change. Life, very simply, tough. End result: frustration for the Old Guard. The Eager Beavers are the faculty who were hired after the visionaries discovered they had been conned. Hence, the Beavers came here apprehensively and don’t really feel fooled. Misled a little, but definitely not fooled. For the few that came here to teach (as opposed to publish), they’re taking a big risk pouring their efforts into the classroom because, at this school, teaching doesn’t pay at promotion time. So anyone who really puts out in the lecture hall might suffer the indescribeable failure of performing brilliantly and being let go the next year. Not willing to totally abandon their craft, they hesitate, they second-guess themselves, they worry a lot at night, they can’t en qy their work and they don’t now if they’ll be allowed to go through misery next year when tenure applications come around. This isn’t how they had planned it. Frsutration for the craftsmen. For those who came here open-mindedly, looking to drift into their niche while learning the trade of the professoriate, life is a series of disappointments. Getting tenure is so crucial (since other jobs are hard to find) that one feels silly ust hanging around and testing the water: Sort of li e a bisexual at a fast-moving orgy. Without that collegiality, morale is not quite right for the professor who wants to feel his way around. Everyone is worrying. The battle to chose between teaching and research must be fought alone and the atmosphere isn’t always so pleasant. Frustration for the indecisive. For those who came to do research in their discipline and publish articles in the right places, life is a little easier. After all, they’re doing what the University expects them to do. Some are frustrated because they’re not very good at what they do. Others are frustrated because they are good, but can’t convince anyone. Still others are frustrated because they’re good; they’ve convinced a publisher or two, but no one' seems to notice. Some are frustrated because this is a frustrating place to be, what with parking problems and all. A few are frustrated to be working at a place where everyone is frustrated. Now there may be some faculty who are in solid departments, have a solid research performance, are well on their way to tenure, have no worries, no anxities and no problems because they drive motorcycles. But they’re probably frustrated because, being competitive bastards, they expected a good fight for success and it was all so easy. So, frustration among all tpit Eager Beavers, who thought it would be different. For those groups who were left out: Women are frustrated because this is a male-dominated and frequently sexist institution. Minorities are frustrated for corresponding reasons. Everyone is frustrated by the Administration, whose job is to divide up the frustration according to frustrating enrollment plans. The Colleges are frustrated because they have the answer and no one believes them. The Health Sciences are frustrated because they know what they’re doing at a place that doesn’t. And Engineering is frustrated because they don’t understand why. ( e.veryone hates therp so. Now, if all these sweeping, thinly-supported generalizations have left out someone, there is always the weather which, exeejJl on warm spring days, frustrates us all. �daymondaymondaymc Blundering IRCB A letter from the Editor April 23, 1979 To the readers; In the middle of last summer, officials from The Spectrum and Sub Board I, Inc. sat down and negotiated actually, argued over the language that was to describe the subscription contract between the newspaper and Sub Board, the corporation of the six student governments. As the two sides pushed and shoved each other toward an agreement, at times debating single sentences or particular words, n</ one in the room could ever have predicted that the exact nature of the contract, the precise wording of its contents, in fact, every letter of every piece of paper suggesting some relationship between the newspaper-and student government would later be picked apart and magnified by a band of student politicians looking desperately for some way to dismantle the newspaper, or to at least make trouble for the people who run'it. There is little point in describing the extraordinary lengths that these students went to in order to build a case, any case, against The Spectrum. And there are very few people who will ever realize it. But there are important things for readers to realize about the relationship between the government and the press at this school, and how it differs from what it should be. I always have found it curious that, while few people believe student government is responsive or responsible to the student body, many are willing to' accept the government as a so-called “check” on the student press. The foundation of the theory is: unless The Spectrum is in some way dependent on or tied to student government, it will not remain responsive to its student — — audience. 1 am used to fighting this logic. I am used to people saying, quite indignantly, that The Spectrum is h monopoly, as if this were some charge against me. 1 am used to hearing the horrof stories about an editor who goes crazy with the refusing to print views other than his own, eliminating the Backpage so that his picture might grace every issue, and so on. This scenario, of course, is cited as proof that there should be some “check” on The'Spectrum. In general, I am used to no, let me say that 1 am arguing with people who simply tired of cannot accept this statement: government ties to the press can* and do lead to government interference in the press and that government interference in the press is dangerous and, therefore, undesirable. It all seems so logical, not to mention historically accurate. So 1 will say it to you, the readers. The Spectrum should be on its own. 1 can’t say that you came dangerously close to losing your newspaper this year as a result of this Search and Destroy mission 1 talked about earlier. I can’t even say you came close, although the attacks were rather vigorous at times. But it is undeniably true that with the wrong - — To the Editor people in the right places, you could lose a newspaper someday to political warfare like we saw this year. One of the Sub Board officials I argued with last summer realized that one of the basic tenents he had argued from was not really true. He had assumed, he later told me, that government was basically reasonable. He discussed this year that is wasn’t. A lot of unreasonable people said a lot of unreasonable things and took a lot of unreasonable actions this year, people on both sides. The end result is not that we have a better, stronger or clearer anything. The end result is a lot of bitterness, frustration and even more wasted, squandered time and energy that was absolutely thrown away on the process of attacking and defending each other. 1 don’t know how to make student government responsive to its constituents. I don’t know how to make student elections fair and reasonably representative of the electorate. I don’t know how to eliminate the newspaper’s undue influence in student government except by snapping my fingers and creating a thriving alternative publication. I don’t even know how to totally prevent this year’s absurdities between the government and the press. But I am sure that the best direction for The Spectrum to take and for its audience to is the direction of greater autonomy, support which means no tie, in any way, to student government. No less critical is that the tie between The Spectrum and its readers be strengthened; that the tradition of readers response I wrote about last letter, with readers or their representatives influencing decision-making in a significant way, be established as the binds between the newspaper and the government are elminated. The fact is that The Specrtum, right now, is one of the most independent college newspapers in the country, because it is one of the strongest. Yet its potential is far from reached, in the near future, the law of diminishing returns will limit the improvements that the staff can make, by . itself. Only by expanding participation to the audience and becoming a continuous journalism experiment between editors and readers can The Spectrum approach the newspaper it could be. Freedom of the press is, by my definition, the freedom to do just that, Sincerely, 1 RGB’s reputation for blundering mishaps and chaotic management became strengthened as a result of the circumstances that happened on Sunday, April 15. IRCB hired Greyhound busses to transport IRC fee-paying students from U/B to various areas in and around N.Y.C. (one of which was the Queens Mall), When one of the busses reached the Queens Mall on April 6, students on that bus were told by IRC representatives to report back to the mall on April 15 at 1:00 in tire afternoon. On that return date, thirteen U/B-bound students via Greyhound, and their family members, found themselves looking at their watches as the minutes ticked past 1:00. One began to wonder whether or not the Greyhound bus would ever show up. It did, finally, but 2Vi hours had elapsed from the time designated by IRC representatives. When asked why the bus was so late, the busdriver replied that IRCB never contacted Greyhound to send a bus to the Queens Mall to return the students back to U/B. Rather, the bus driver continued. Greyhound sent a bus to the mall after one of the student’s family members called the terminaj to ask what was taking so long. The point being made here is that IRCB did not notify Greyhound of the U/B students at the Queens Mall who were waiting to be transported to Buffalo. In effect, the responsibility of notifying Greyhound was unknowingly bestowed upon the students and their family members who, by right, are not to be subject to such responsibility for they are the ones who are paying for the services. It was IRCB’s responsibility: one they obviously took much too — - lightly. It is one thing for IRCB to render transportation services aCa reduced rate for fee-paying members: it is another thing to render them correctly. The bumbling process by which IRCB makes decisions, combined with their tendencies to plan poorly and coordinate such plans in a clumsy manner, should make IRCB officials realize that if they are going to help their fellow students, either do it right, or don’t get involved. Depending on IRCB services is like I think next relying on a promise made by a liar time I’ll walk to Buffalo instead of being in the hands of IRCB who simply are incapable of taking care of their members, - * > Peter Cohen Unfair and In regard to Clark: the letter of 4/18/79 by Thomas F My hopes and expectations of the arrival of a world-wide political consciousness, antipathetic to outstanding, uncorfscionable violations of basic human rights were not confirmed by your letter. Ves, in the spring there is an increased amount of visible political activity, but so has the world been virtually inundated with serious, seminal political “happenings.” True, the issue of divestiture is not “worthy of the lacrimal outcry being accorded it.” It is worthy, however, of an educated, action oriented investigation. U.B., .if it divested, would not be atone, but rather in the elite company (as it usually is) of a few very prestigious universities. The Universities of Michigan and Wisconsin recently divested, and Columbia divested to the tune of $30 million, to name a few. Students protested Harvards $ 300 million investments in South African supporting agencies so feverently that President Bok was forced to issue a placatory statement which made him appear foolishly controlled by big business. The collective goals of political security, economic stability, and ihutual trust take time to evolve via the close interaction between societal members of all classes. Also involved in this political evolution is the ideological and material support afforded by sympathetic individuals, groups, and societies.

There, we were asked to show identification and wait until our names had been cleared by the inside office. A black security car pulled up to escort us to the “temporary office complex" on the reactor site. Here, inside the-fenced area, our every move was scrutinized by security cameras mounted on rooftops and displayed on TV monitors in the central security station, recently constructed by the Public Trust Corporation. When we entered the makeshift prefab building, the receptionist sat us on a sofa to wait. Finally, the door opened and we were escorted into the private office of J. Philip Bayne, a retired navy officer and now the Resident Manager of the third of Indian Point's three reactors. (This 965 megawatt pressurized water reactor is one of the two nuclear units owned by the Power Authority of the State of New York (PASNY). The other PASNY reactor is the James A.

After personah is recorded, a special pass boldly marked “Escort Required" is issued'to the vfsitor by a guard behind still more All people entering the plant must sign a search waiver, and survive a rigorous check for metal before passing thrbugh the electronically locked turnstiles. These turnstiles can be activated only by inserting a pass into a special sensor. The number of that pass is then automatically entered in a computer, recording that that person is within the secured area. When leaving the plant, the pass is again entered in the computer to check the visitor out. Once outside the security building, the visitor is confronted with ten foot barbed wire fences and still more cameras. A massive edifice just to the left of the security building houses the heat transfer ducts and generating turbines. To enter this building, Philip Bayne used his pass in a special lock that can not be operated by visitor passes. Inside the transfer area, huge pipes carrying hot water, cold water and steam lance in all directions. A deafening roar makes conversation almost impossible. The intense vibration of moving water and turbines shakes the building, and all those working in this large, hot room. How it works Bayne explained that this area of Indian Point is almost identical the electrical generating areas of conventional fuel-fired plants. team is produced from either the heat of burning oil, coal or natural gas or the heat given off by the fission of uranium atoms in a controlled chain reaction.

He directed us down a narrow road to the next security station reactor such as that at Indian Point, the uranium reaction takes place inside a sealed and pressurized chamber or reactor core." Because the water is under a great deal of pressure, it will reach immense temperatures without ever boiling. Water surrounding the uranium absorbs the heat of that reaction and transfers t rom the core to a secondary loop of cooler water. This transfer does not involve direct contact of the two water systems.

This Westingho use reactor was built for Con-Edison, but sold to tha power authority in December of 197S. It began commercial operation eight months later in Auguest of 1976. The small reactor (number one) was built by Babcock and Wilcox, and began commercial operation in 1962. It was removed from service in October of 1974 when the NRC Editor's Note: Last Saturday, some WOO people of all ages and from divergent backgrounds gathered outside the Indian Point nuclear reactor, situated in the small Westchester village of Buchanan, to stage the largest anti-nuke demonstration in the 19-year history of that facility. Organizers of the protest raHy claimed that the power plant located only 4000 feet from the ancient ftamape fault line, could Ire severly damaged by an earthquake. Though there is disagreement as to whether the fault is active, a quake might lead to a failure of the reactor's safety systems, resulting in the dreaded meltdown narrowly avoided in the recent Three Mile Island accident The Spectrum's photographer and contributing editor Tom Buchanan, who covered the demonstration for last Wednesday's paper, was given a tour of the reactor complex. In the following article, Mr. Buchanan relates his experiences inside the huge Indian Point generating station, providing a vivid and evocative glimpse of a commercialnuclear reactor. �i <6 nous actor no. 3 <nd frorr. nuclear to stage of that 'er plant. ■ould he ent as to of the narrowly th any outside water. The heat of the primary loop turns the water n the secondary loop to steam. The steam is concentrated and ‘dried’ in a moisture separator and then used to spin the turbine. At Indian Point, the secondary steam loop is cooled by a third and final loop of water drawn from the Hudson River. This process returns the steam to its liquid state and sends it back into contact with the primary loop to be turned into steam once again. The third loop of coolant water is returned to the river at a temperature only one-half degree warmer than when it was drawn out. :ctrum's 'ered the of the •lates his r widing a iroached Hudson pped the come to station to show inside le nporary irea, our ■ooftops recently ■red the private Resident his 965 tar units •ASNY). t, a 821 The control room According to Bayne, the heat transfer from primary to secondary loop takes place inside the huge concrete containment structure. This assures that if a breakdown of the system did occur, any leaked radioactivity would be contained and would not threaten the surrounding area. The huge generating turbine is housed upstairs in a large room with a very high ceiling. Unlike the transfer area of this building, there is a lot of empty space around the turbine, making it seem small in its surroundings. An electronically locked door from the turbine area leads to the heavily secured control room. To get inside, Philip Bayne had to use his employee card agairC Like the outside door, this entry is also linked to the security computer and will not allow any unauthorized cardholders to open the door. Bayne insisted that all camera gear be left outside of the protected control area. Photos of the facility are forbidden, and this rule was strictly observed. "'The license granted Indian Point by the NRC requires that two trained operators be in the control room at all times when the core is activated, and that a third supervising Operator must be some place on site. The control room is small and very sterile. In area, the room is about the size of three standard living'rooms. A pair of large control panels are surrounded on both sides by massive computer banks all tied to the nearby core. The two people operating the reactor appeared to be in their late twenties and were casually dressed in jeans and old shirls. But there was no doubt: these men knew what they were doing and were in total control of the nuclear reaction taking place only 100 feet away. OPERATIONS; J. Phillip Bayne. Resident Manager of Number 3, used a printed model to explain the operation of the inside of a nuclear reactor.

Basically, the job of an operator is toTegul'ate the heat generation in the pressurized reactor core. To slow or speed up the reacting process, an operator can use carbon control rods that slide in and out of the fuel assembly. These rods absorb stray neutrons and slow or stop the reaction. The operator can also effect the reaction by regulating the boron level of the core water. Boron is a solid chemical that is added to the primary loop water to slowly absorb neutrons that would otherwise strike uranium atoms and cause heat generating fission. When the reactor is operating, control people will use boron most of the time to slow the reaction, rather than the control rods which are generally kept fully withdrawn from the uranium fuel elements during an 'up' period. According to Bayne, the control room is equipped with quadruple redundancy, so that if one control or sensing system is out of service, there will be three others performing the same function. These sensors are all tied to the control room computer, and will automatically "trip" the reactor if readings exceed preset limits. There are also visual and audio warning signals that tell operators when some kind of action is warranted Our friend, the atom While we were in control, a loud bell sounded, with red and white panel lights flashing on and off. One of the two operators in the control room checked the computer and several gauges, and then calmly pushed a small black button to end what we saw as a moment of danger. To the reactor operator, however, the bells were routine, and simply meant it was time for him to do something. As Philip Bayne spoke, he made clear to us that he considered nuclear energy to be completely safe and a vital component in the nation's energy supply. According to Bayne, nearly 35 percent of the power generated in the Northeast is nuclear. Utility companies, he said, cannot suddenly shut down all nuclear plants and still meet our power needs. And, according to Bayne, these plants should not be forced to shut down. In his opinion, anti-nuclear protesters are doing a "disservice to. the state of New York, and the nation as a whole." Bayne characterized the protesters as "misguided" and pointed out that "they can shut down nuclear power any time. All they have to do is go home and shut off all their lights." As Bayne put it, "Nuclear power may not be the answer to all of our proui.ms, but we need it for at leastlthe next 25-50 years." CRITICAL MASS: Uranium fual rods can only ba used for about 18 months before they became to ‘worn out to carry on a reaction. When removed from the reactor core, 1 %r exhausted fuel rods are actually less than 25 percent dap leafed, but no longer have enough free neutrons to carry out a consistently hot enough reaction. Old fuel rods are carefully stored in huge racks, below 26 feat of water. The old assemblies are separated to prevent the formation of a critical mass that would otherwise start a reaction. The water surrounding the uranium rods is saturated with boron, a neutron absorber, to prevent free neutrons from striking uranium atoms, causing a fission, The rack shown hare by J. Phillip Boyne is used aa a modal at the Con-Ediaon education canter, in Buchanan.

Management: The School, which has been operating on a 4 for 3 basis, will shift to 3 for 3. Virtually all new students in the School of Management, will be taking a five course in the Fall. However, with' the University-wide grandfather clauses and corresponding reduction in total credit hours required for graduation, some students enrolled now may be able to escape with a four course load. There will be few changes in pre-requisites, with requirements being measured on the number of specific courses, not total credits. However, many of Management’s pre-requisites already conform to the Carnegie Unit, thus there will be no change in the Fall. Curriculum changes are set for both the Management and Accounting programs. Currently, Management majors are reuired to take eight specific Management courses and three departmental electives. This will be increased to nine and three respectively. Accounting majors who currently take eight courses and six departmental electives, will take nine courses and seven electives next year. This will not affect this year’s iqiior class, but only students not currently accepted into the School of Management. load In addition to the previous faculty by The breakdown, faculty Spectrum examined a few- of the more popular introductory courses.

Low cost study abroad open to students in most fields While the cost of college education in the United States continues to climb, the relatively low expense of studying in a foreign country is becoming increasingly attractive. Study abroad at one time was a small movement geared to junior-year college students interested in studying the language, culture, or' civilization of another country. Today, study abroad opportunities are open to students in almost any major and in any academic year. Regardless of a student’s career goal, study abroad has become a viabje alternative to four years of traditional college study. 1* v “Many students eliminate the possibility of studying in a foreign country without looking into it,” claims Secretary for .Overseas .Programs at this University Dorothy Schaktman. According to Schaktman, the cost of studying abroad is “compatible to what students pay at this University” including living expenses. “Any form of financial aid awarded to a student can be used to finance study in another country,” explained Schaktman. Air fare and other travel expenses “can be significantly reduced by takings advantage of special student discount rates,” she added. The State University of New York (SUN Y) sponsors a variety of overseas programs in every ma ar continentof the world.

This is jus( going to muddle it more,” said a spokeswoman for Austin (CPS) - (Texas) Citizens for Economical Energy. Her group had been trying to get the city out of the South Texas Nuclear Project. In February, a poll showed nearly 60 percent of the people favored the project. By the time of the April 6 vote nine days after the March 28 - Three Mile Island nuclear plant near Harrisburg began to malfunction the race narrowed dramatically. The anti-nucleaj- forces had been showing signs of the restiveness at recent gatherings. The accident at Three Mile Island has undoubtedly weakened public confidence in nuclear power, and anti-nuclear activists seem anxious to capitalize on the advantage. The question is how. Subsequent demonstrations have ranged from a big, relatively calm gathering in San Francisco to civil disobedience in Connecticut to sabotage in Europe. - coping with internal tensions over tactics since last June. Contemplating a massive demonstration at the Seabrook nuclear power plant in New Hampshire, the Alliance accepted a last-minute offer from then-Govemor Meldrim Thompson to legally meet in a nearby garbage dump. But regional coordinators were furious over the executive committee’s acceptance of the compromise, and serious differences over regional autonomy and civil disobedience surfaced. The question of civil disobedience tactics is very real,” Clamshell spokesman Bob Hurwitz said. “One of the central questions is, , . how to maintain a direct-action, nonviolent movement that insures each region autonomy.” The Alliance couldn’t resolve the issue at its January conference. As a result, the plans for the summer, when all involved expected to intensify the anti-nuclear campaign, are relatively uncoordinated. “There are several actions of various sorts legal and illegal planned by some of the state Clams.” Hurwitz - noted. Dramatics “The really weird thing,” said the Austin spokeswoman, who requested anonymity, “is that Harrisburg should have been the best worst thing that could happen for opponents of nuclear power. But we can see here that Harrisburg has made a lot of people angrier. They want to do dramatic things now.” She defined “dramatic” as “sit-ins, mass marches, loud things.” She also feared that “there’s a tactical split in the movement now, at least here. We’ve made steady, orderly progress toward stopping nuclear power. That more violent demonstrations can disrupt that progress turn people against us is a worrisome thing.” Commercial nuclear power has been on the - - retreat for several years. The reactor industry measures its health by the number of reactor orders received each year. There were no orders in either 1976 or 1977, and only two in 1978. But it costs reactor builders like Westinghouse and General Atomic millions just to maintain the capacity to build reactors, whether or not orders are received. As a result, Fortune magazine observed two weeks before Harrisburg that unless the “stalemate” between nuclear power advocates and opponents was broken, the' capital costs of keeping the reactor industry alive could not be maintained. The magazine predicted the industry would thus collapse by. 1981. But as it nearedits “victory,” the movement itself has developed internal tensions. Civil disobedience The largest and best-known anti-nuclear group, the Clamshell Alliance in New England, has been U.S. — Change colors The immediate aftermath of the Harrisburg accident reflected a similar disparity of tactics. On April 7 a crowd of around 7000 peacefully listened to anti-nuclear speeches by Ralph Nader and Daniel Ellsberg in San Francisco,,at a rally organized by the Abalone Alliance. Specifically the five-hour gathering was a protest against Pacific Gas & Electric’s $1.4 billion Diablo Canyon nuclear plant, which is located within 2.5 miles of the San Gregorio Hosgri PLAN YOUR COMPLETE SUMMER AT LI.U./BROOKLYN CENTER earthquake fault. Barbara Bowman of the East Bay Anti-Nuclear Group, one of the Alliance’s component parts, said “our overall tactics have not changed significantly” since the Three Mile Island plant began to leak radioactive steam. Her group will continue “legal intervention” into Diablo Canyon’s procedures. In France the day before, though, a factory that made nuclear equipment bound for Belgium Germany, afid Iraq was partially blown up. An anti-nuclear group called the “Group of French Ecologists” claimed responsibility for the explosion, which was, according to a caller to the French police, detonated to prevent more “Harrisburgcatastrophes.” Around 3000 protestors gathered at the Groton, Ct., shipyards to try to disrupt the maiden launching of the nuclear submarine USS Ohio. About 230 demonstrators were arrested. Less disruptively, there have been peaceful gatherings at Cornell University, in Phoenix, Az., Los Angeles, and at the Crystal River nuclear station in Brooksville, FI, where demonstrators plan to sink plants that change colors around low-level radiation.

Not the UB lacrosse team. Following season-opening away victories over Buffalo State and Monroe Community College,, the Bulls returned home to drop a 6-4 decision to Slippery Rock (Pa.) Friday afternoon. “There were a lot of mental mistakes out there,” admitted player-coach Craig Kirkwood after seeing his squad’s record slip to 2-1. “Everybody was too caught up in the game, not relaxed enough, so they weren’t thinking too well. But give them (Slippery Rock) credit. They were fast they had strong legs. They were physical, too, especially in the first half.” Buffalo was forced to play catch-up from the start, after falling behind 2-0 early in the first quarter. Several times the Bulls came within one, and in fact knotted the score at 2-2 midway through the second quarter. But the Rockets tallied immediately after to break the tie and distance the visitors with a lead they never relinquished. Trailing by a pair, UB’s John Kaplan bounced a shot by Rockets’ goalie John Metz to slash the lead in half with only'eight seconds left in — . the first 15-minute quarter. The Bulls seemingly grabbed the momentum, tying it at 6:47 of the second quarter on a John Hennesy goal, but their drive was quickly interrupted by Rocket Jack Aquisano’s tally, which gave Slippery Rock a 3-2 edge that lasted until the half ended. Confusion At that time UB netmender Jeremy Gilbert left the game for personal reasons, forcing fill-in goalie Brian Burke into action. Later, second string gaolie Mark “Spanky” Vitale got out of class, and was able to take over at the net. As can be' inferred, the goaitending situation is unclear, but Kirkwood stated that he may have found the solution. “Neither goalie has been showing up very much lately because of academic responsibilities. So they will each play a half,” explained Kirkwood, referring to Gilbert and Vitale. The Rockets stretched their lead to 4-2 very early in the second half, but UB’s Jim Papoulis closed the gap to 4-3 at 8:12 of the third quarter. Bob Spendle initiated the scoring play by gaining possession in the left corner, and charged toward the net, where he eyed his teammate alone in front. With one motion, Papoulis grabbed the pass and bounced a 20-footer by the sprawling Metz. Based on $}reer hyye’and excitement, the UB bench indicated they might inde«<mie the contest, but the strong, aggressive Rockets' defense had Imre of a say, and held the locals scoreless until the game was Out of reach. — , Slippery Rock’s Dave Gray eventually netted the game winner at 6:12 of the fourth quarter, and was followed by Tom Pasterick who later increased the lead to 6-3. Tom Calo tallied for the Bulls late in the game to round out the scoring.

Ketter compromised on the four-week-old controversy. Ketter endorsed Vice President for Finance and Management Edward W. Doty’s March 23 decision that would open up 68 new dormitory bed spaces by burdening many RA’s with roommates, but decided to delay implementation of the plan until Fall 1980. “The decision was a good one," Doty said of his original ruling, “but the RA’s should have had more advance warning.” The President, Doty said, suggested the delay for just that reason. Doty, who said he was agreeable to the Ketter decision, maintained the threat of an RA strike did not influence the President’s verdict. Can’t hurt Assistant Housing Director Gary Soehner termed the Ketter decision a half victory for the incensed RA staff. “There were two things wrong with the (Doty) decision,” Soehner said, “philosophically, in terms of what the RA’s need to function effectively, it was wrong, and the timing was wrong. It looks like we won half of our argument.” Richmond Senior RA Bruce Finkle was “surprised" by the delay “I didn’t even think it was an option," he said. “We didn’t think the decision was going to be very favorable.” But Finkle toned his optimism with some worry over next year’s problems. “It’s definitely not an answer," he said. “Whether the delay is long enough to allow the University to find a suitable answer, I don’t know." Soehner doesn’t know either, but said the Ketter decision “can’t hurt.” He remarked, “Heck, we may not have a housing crunch a year and a half from now.” Soehner, whose Housing office opposed Doty’s plan, wondered whether the 68 spaces will ever be opened at least by giving RA's roommates. According to Soehner, current Housing projections do not extend to Fall 1980 and it is not certain that the demand for dormitory space will be as high then as it is for next Fall. Governors Residence Hall RA Gary DeWaal noted that parents might not be so willing to send their children to the dorms if they knew that the conditions were less than ideal. - Not certain The RA’s have claimed that a student who must live with an RA could be forced into the role of assistant RA at times and also awoken at late hours. Other students on the hall, the RA’s maintain, would also suffer due to decreased contact with and confidence in the RA. —continued on page 20— .■4 Purchase students occupy two buildings; 19 arrested by Joel DiMaico and Tom Buchanan decisions. Angry groups of students staged two large scale protests at the State University College at Purchase, N.Y., occupying the college’s main administration and admissions buildings during most of Tuesday and Wednesday to protest the college president’s decision to change the academic calendar there. According th Eric Nagoumey, News Editor of the Campus newspaper The Load, the first of the sit-ins began early Tuesday when about 25 students entered both buildings and barracaded themselves inside. About 10 ajn., two hours after the occupation had begun, the President of the College, Nicharl Hammond, ordered local police officers and the college’s own security personnel to retake both buildings, resulting in the arrest of 19 students. That afternoon, a group of about 100 students staged a non-violent sit-in in the admissions building, protesting that morning’s police action. Jeff Sander, a spokesman for the protesters informed The Spectrum there were approximately “100 students in the building itself and another 50 or so outside.” The protesters remained in the building through the night and did not leave until about 8 p.m. Wednesday evening. Sanders conveyed that his group was “committed to non-violence” but vowed the demonstrators would remain in the building until their demands were met. The protesters wanted a full investigation of the morning’s police action, the dropping of all charges filed against the protesters and a Inside: Asbestos guaranteed . . . here voice & in administrative there—P. 5 / The Load’s Editor-in-Chief, Felicia Halpert, said the protest arose out of Hammond’s February 14 decision, St. Valentine’s Day, to change the college’s unique “12—4” academic calendar to a more conventional 15 week, four course load calendar starting in September. Under the old “12—4” system, students at Purchase studied three courses for the first 12 weeks of the semester, took their finals in those courses, then studied a single course intensively for the remaining four weeks of the semester. Calendar changed Purchase is a small State College in Westchester County, with an an enrollment of less than 2000. Instruction at the college is highly specialized, centering on the fine and performing arts. The St. Valentine’s Day Coalition complained the change in the academic calendar will make independent study at the college more difficult. The coalition is also discontented with President Hammond, who has been college president since September, 1977. Wednesday afternoon, a meeting of the College’s Faculty Senate voted 28 to 15 to censure the Tuesday morning police action and “deplored any futher use of police,” said Halpert. After the vote, Hammond addressed the Senate and said that if the sit-in did not end soon “public authority will have to be used.” The Senate also voted overwhelmingly, 29 to 5, to ask that all charges against protesting students be dropped. Hammond said that he would ask the college’s security chief to drop the charges but would not order him to do Madwoman in Buffalo—P. 11 / so. He also would not rule out internal charges from college officials. The security chief, Jerome Barry, said that the matter was out of his hands since the local Town of Harrison police had filed their own charges against the protesting students. Excessive force By that time telephone lines to the students still in the admissions building had been abruptly cut off while The Spectrum was talking to one of the demonstrators. But earlier, Sanders had said the protesters and a large part of the faculty were outraged at the excessive use of force which he claimed police had used in arresting students Tuesday morning. The Toad’s Nagourney said when police retook the admissions building Tuesday they had broken through the des used to barracade the doors and dragged the students out bodily. Steve Praver, one of the students arrested, said police had broken the doors right off the hinges and % over the cement sidewalks. He also said one of the students was hit with a club by one of the dragged students officers. Harrison police officials denied that any excessive force had been used and said police were met with “not much resistence.” The protesters were released later that morning without bail, after being booked on charges of obstructing governmental administration, a misdemeanor. The official, a Lieutenant Bosco, said by the time Harrison police had reached the scene of the protest, “campus security was already in.” —continued on page 26— Solar energy economy— P. 19 / Capital punishment—P. 21 �(M } a.

And explosives have a curious hand in the job. For several days, workmen have been working to dig a trench through the lawn as part of the installation of a new $torm drain. The new drain will replace one running underneath the Abbott Parking Lot which will be demolished by the tunneling work for the LRRT. As far back as October, Niagara Frontier Transit Authority (NFTA) officials had assured University officials that the tunneling work would not damage the front lawns. In early Octojber, John Winston, NFTA Metro Construction Division’s Community Services Director, assured The Spectrum “the project will in no way harm or damage those lawns. All we are interested in is the parking lot.” The Authority’s interest seems to have heightened.

Workers stared out windows at the demonstrators below with amused looks, while inside the massive cream-colored bank building, the corporation was winding up its annual stockholders’ meeting. While the two-block long contingent marched down Main Street, Lawrence Farber. a NYP1RG staff member, delivered a one minute address to a surprised group of Marine Midland stockholders and executives. Farber questioned the prudence and propriety of the bank’s steadfast financial of utilities and support corporations such as Niagara Mohawk (the Niagara Frontier electric power company) and W.R. Grace, the firm that constructed the now defunct Nuclear Fuel Services reprocessing center in West Valley, N.Y. Farber said that his address was met mostly by stony silence, although at least two people at the meeting applauded him. He gained entry to the stockholder’s meeting by way of a proxy conferred by Gary Klein, a Marine Midland stockholder. Conflict of interests The rally was organized by the Coalition Against Nuclear Contamination and Economic Recklessness (CANCER), which charges that Marine Midland and other large corporations have a vested interest in the expansion and promotion of nuclear huge corporations which put profits ahead of people. Bart Bouricius, a coordinator of the People’s Power Coalition, read a resolution to ban the transport of nuclear waste through the City of Buffalo, and proceded across the street to City Hall to file it with University area Councilman Eugene Fahey. Although Fahey wis not present in his office at the time, Bouricius said he is confident of the Councilman’s support. The resolution is modeled after one adopted in 1976 by New York City. Chanting slogans such as, “1-2-3-4, we don’t want a melting core; S-6-7-8, we don’t want to radiate,” the police-escorted crowd marched five blocks up Main Street to the Niagara Mohawk Power Corporation at Genesee and Huron, circling the building as a number of executives and secretaries craned their necks from the windows.

Once at the Marine building, the crowd chanted and brandished banners up to the groups of bank employees who gathered at each window. CANCER has demanded that Marine divest itself of nuclear holdings and reinvest in the research and development of economically affordable and renewable forms of energy, such as wind, solar, hydroelectric and biomass. A recent United Nations report concluded that solar power cells could become cheaper than nuclear power if solar energy received a total less than the investment of $1 billion cost of just one large nuclear plant. It has been estimated that by the year 2000, the U.S. could obtain 25 percent of its energy from the renewable sources mentioned above if a national commitment was made. Sierra Club organizer Mina Hamilton stressed that the death of the nuclear industry could cushion jobs if employees are retrained for solar energy work. “The shutdown of the nuclear industry is inevitable; it’s just a question of time,” she declared, to the crowd’s applause.

His hair is now falling out and his teeth are rotting after being exposed to the maximum allowable “safe” radiation limits for several years, Pyles said bitterly, charging that W.R. Grace and Getty Oil had “killed” this worker. Getty Oil purchased the NFS site from Grace in 1969. Peter Bruce, an 88-year old Greek immigrant and a longtime resident of North Tonawanda, expressed concern for the health and welfare of future generations if the hazards of nuclear power continue to go unchecked. “I’ll only be around a few more years,” the diminutive grey haired man said in a thickly accented voice, “but how about all the children that will have to live through it?” Bruce’s remarks were greeted by appreciative smiles and clapping from the crowd. Resnikoff, Marvin a nationally recognized expert on nuclear power hazards, urged his listeners to remove their money from banks that support nuclear power; to withhold from their utility bills that portion that pays for this kind of energy and .to boycott Getty Oil products.

Contributing The public reaction to the American nuclear industry, in the wake of the near disaster at Harrisburg’s Three Mile Island power generation plant, runs a bit like a popular car transmission commercial in reverse: the public used to croon to our nuclear reactors “That’s my baby!” Today we scream “You miserable heap! 1 never want to see you again!” The news media has scrambled to cover every possible angle of the events at Harrisburg, from scare stories of long-range radiation effects to interviews with five-year-olds. But the critical examinations of the attitudes and philosophies which brought the Northeast to the brink of a nuclear chasm are lacking. Over the past few years, the United States has increased its consumption of electricity at a rate of three to four percent per year. With the “energy crunch” at the turn of the decade, the utilities were forced to increase nuclear power plant production to keep up with the energy demand. Now, 12.5 % of the nation’s electricity is produced through nuclear fission. This increasing demand for energy has a tight grip on us in a painful place. We cannot simply stop producing power through fission; that gap of 12.5% must somehow be filled. Solar energy, even if developed through a crash program (like NASA’s “man on the moon program” in the late 1960’s) is at least five years away. And on past evidence, conservation is not a principle that wcrks well with Americans; after the “belt-tightening” of the energy crisis, the complacent consumer slipped right back into buying big cars, big televisions, and a big, energy-wasting lifestyle. Carte Mile Island. background ai naval Perhaps more important than the single event of the Harrisburg incident is Carter’s general policy toward the development of rvice experience as nuclear power.

Atom splitters A strong stance either for or against nuclear power could have done much to eliminate the possibility of the threat of Three Mile Island. A halt in support from the federal government would have forced the industry to begin shutting down without federal money, federal research grants, and federal inspections, the nuclear industry would not have had the economic strength or public support to continue. On the other hand, a show of confidence during early part the of Carter’s administration could well have set the faltering industry back on its feet. With more money and an expanding field of opportunity, the government and the power utilities could have established better inspection stricter codes and procedures to help prevent what happened at Three Mile Island. Worse yet, Carter has don* little to establish a long-term policy for nuclear power, even in the wake of the scare in Pennsylvania. If we continue producing power with atomic reactors, we need better inspection and operation procedures. The President has done little to force these measures. If we go the other route and shut down our atomsplitters, we have to find a substitute for nuclear energy. Carter has done nothing to put us on the path to solar energy.

While officials of the New York Public Interest Research Group (NYPIRG), along with the students and faculty who occupy Baird Hall, publicly wrestle with an administration that is reluctant to replace flaking asbestos tiles, occupants of a Yale University building that once contained asbestos now work and breathe without the anxiety the cancer-causing fibers have brough here. Yale admitting that the health hazard cannot be gauged safely simply closed the building, ripped out the asbestos and replaced it, with a minimum of furor and accusations. In the fall of 1974, Yale was confronted with its own Baird Hall fiasco. In a study released by faculty member Robert N. Sawyer of Yale, potentially hazardous amounts of asbestos fibers were discovered in the school’s Art and Architecture Building. In a 20 day operation during winter recess. 92 tons of wet asbestos-contaminated material was removed. “Building characteristics, the inability to eliminate exposure and the uncertainties of asbestos disease epidemiology” contributed to the decision to eliminate the material Trom the — Director of UB’s Department of Environmental Health and Robert Hunt has Safety maintained that hazardous concentrations of asbestos fiber in Baird Hall have not been found to warrant repair. An initial asbestos sampling was salso conducted by Yale in 1971 following the appearance of articles on the health hazards of asbestos. Sawyer’s investigation found that the maximum level of asbestos fiber concentration in the air was well below the 1972 standard set by the Occupational Health and Safety Administration (OSHA). In early 1972, the ceilings were spray painted with a latex paint to further reduce fiber flaking. — sprayed ceilings, according to Recurring hazard However, in 1974, there was visible deterioration of the building’s ceiling material. Further investigation revealed that samples had been taken largely under inactive conditions.

Yale’s 500 air samples revealed daily many that exposures exceeded the limits of the more stringent 1976' OSHA standards. In addition, asbestos fiber levels considered capable of causing cancer were repeatedly found.

However, NVPIRG officials are still disheartened, claiming that not only was the aii sample invalid, but that the exact amount inducing cancer is uncertain and that no matter what the findings are, the asbestos in Baird Hall should be sealed or removed immediately. The samples were conducted Tuesday of last week by the U.S. Testing office, a private operation approved by the Environmental Protection Agency. The results will not be available until next week. Asbestos has been linked to cancers of the lungs, throat, colon, stomach and rectum. However, the only regulations governing the percentage of asbestos allowed in the air refer directly to asbestosis, a not a cancer. NYPIRG officials claim the scarring of the lung tissue air sampling is “just a stalling tactic” and is not eradicating the - — problem. Public pressure University Director of Environmental Health and Safety Robert Hunt, who opted not to conduct an air sampling last November, said last Tuesday’s test will document the exact levels of asbestos fibers floating in the air. Hunt said that Vice President for Finance and Management Edward W. Doty ordered the tests. Doty, who told The Spectrum he mandated the impingement tests because of public pressure, noted that he is not sure the tests will do any good. He commented, “Whatever they’ll show, they’ll show. The whole thing is so cloudy as to the real danger, if my.” All parties opted for a “wait and see” stance on the findings, although Doty said that if the samples document a health hazard, then (he asbestos ceilings will be removed. However, NYPIRG officials charged that any asbestos in Baird Hall poses a health threat, and that the Occupational Safety and Health Administration’s (OSHA) standards only pertain to asbestosis. In fact, admitted NYPIRG official Bob Franki, “I doubt the levels of asbestos in Baird are higher than the OSHA standards. However, there is no proven safe level of asbestos.” —continued on page 26 �Nader: a living hero Ketter’s non-decision from now. C-rtainly none of this made an impression on Ketter, or he would have simply reversed Doty's decision. Nor did the argument that roommates would impair the RA's effectiveness and create awkward scenarios for dorm dwellers impress the President In his typically evasive style, Ketter has failed to address the real issue of: who should sacrifice in the distribution of dorm space, students for whom the space was built and who pay to live there? Or faculty and administrators who are there because the University put them there? Admittedly, a no-win decision, but an Administration with any sense of fairness could only go one way with the students. So which way has Ketter gone? Neither, of course. He cannot bring himself to admit the unfairness in Doty's decision and thus refused to reverse it. But he knows that students will fight the decision again next year and he knows that he will again consider the evidence and again render a judgement. Thus, Wednesday's decision did not sustain Doty either; it was merely a decision to not decide.

With academic departments occupying hundreds of bed spaces in the dormitories, there is absolutely no question that Vice President for Finance and Management Edward Doty's push to gain an additional 68 beds by doubling up RA's was blatantly unfair.

Yes, that's the one, the problem that people keep bothering you about Well, this man, uh, a Dr. Sawyer from Yale, he has assured us that you don't need to be sure about the health hazard before removing it. Yes, we know its too good to be true, but this fellow Sawyer, who has written a book on the subject, says that mere "uncertainty" is enough to replace asbestos. No more numbers. No more debates on safe levels. No more angry letters. Imagine! Dr. Sawyer ought to know. He felt the same uncertainty that you feel lying awake at night; but he did something about it, Mr. Hunt Now, we know that this is hard to believe, but Dr. Sawyer actually ordered that the building be closed and that the asbestos be ripped out and replaced. And now here is the tough part to believe the students and faculty breathe happily ever after. See, Mr. Hunt. The world is not out to get you.

Wednesday’s editorial regarding the current RA situation and lack of participation by the Inter-Residence Council (IRC) was interesting and informative, but it stopped short of being fully comprehensive. I think perhaps it would be more appropriate to dissolve IRC as it now stands, since it is the only student government on campus that does not fall under the direct manipulative control of The Spectrum. It seems to me that it would be easy enough to have one or two students solicit enough signatures to call for a referendum, bringing the question of dissolution up for a vote. The Spectrum could then make its own endorsements of the candidates and they would most certainly be elected. This would insure a competent, loyal and absolutely trustworthy Executive committee that would act more in the students’ best interests and would never poke fun at The Spectrum in any comic strip. Taking this matter to its logical outcome, it would be natural to assume that the most qualified people to serve on this new Executive committee are our shrewd and perceptive watchdogs of the student body . . .yes indeed, Jay Rosen for President and Danny Parker for Executive VP And wouldn’t we be making a fair compromise by electing Lev as VP for Activities? I think a bagel store at Baird Point would make an especially welcome addition to the Amherst campus. Indeed, the ramifications of this new, improved IRC administration would be immediate and widespread. No longer would there be any need for decision-making or unified organization among the RA staff . .after all, who could be more qualified as a spokesman and representative than Jay Rosen, an . off-campus student? We would expect an active, serious and that kept in touch dedicated student newspaper to anticipate this type of with the students proposal, or at least realize beforehand that it is a possibility. We would expect immediate and public action when this proposal is made: organize the SA Senate and put them to work; organize Jay Rosen and put him to work; press Housing officials to take unified and public stand strong, against a cohabitation; research other schools where such a proposal has been made and throw out the research if it’s done by Barry Rubin; examine, question, and criticize the evidence used in all 1RJ cases; pressure Time, Newsweek, and Mad Magazine for coverage; urge parents to call Madison Boyce and ask for recipes; make signs; print up leaflets; go door-to-door sniffing for marijuana; demand a public forum with Ketter and force him to lecture on the merits of The Devil in Miss Jones, hire an attorney to carefully cover up your mistakes; make noise; make waves; do anything but rotate your tires. The students of this university will never, ever, get what they deserve from their student newspaper until they start demanding it. Don’t settle for editorials. There is so much more to be done. — - Jim Paul - — The Spectrum Vol. 29, No. 81 Friday, 20 April 1979 Editor-in-Chief Jay Rosen Art Director . . .

Dear Mr. Rosen, Thank you very much for the well-written correction. It was very clear and to the point. 1 applaud your courageousness at putting the blame on Frank Panek. I would also like to thank all of my faithfull and loving friends who voted for me, even though being misled into thinking that I would break the first amendment rights that we all share. Further congratulations to Joel Mayersohn, I hope that he uses his $2000 stipend fruitfully. Maybe he can use some of it to subsidize our $. 1 5 beers on Friday. Congratulations to Doug Flocarre, I hope that he spends his $1000 stipend fruitfully, maybe he can use some of it to subsidize the food we eat on Friday. Congratulations to Barry Calder, I hope that he uses his stipend fruitfully, maybe he can use some of it to subsidize the $1.50 UUAB movies. Congratulations to Kevin Bryant, 1 hope that he uses his stipend fruitfully, maybe he can subsidize Karl Schwartz who will probably be hardpressed for cash now that he’s not receiving his stipend anymore. Congratulations to Judiann Carmack, I hope that she uses her stipend fruitfully, maybe she can subsidize more commuter breakfasts. Congratulations to Diana Derhak, I hope that she uses her stipend fruitfully, maybe she can subsidize election machines so that we can be sure of a fair election. Congratulations to Barbara Hilliard, I hope that she uses her stipend fruitfully, maybe she can subsidize abortion coverage for all the women at the University. Finally congratulations to the winners of the SASU election, for they are the biggest winners of this election. They are working for the student body for free, they won’t have to subsidize anything. Keep up the good work at the SA everybody, you are our leaders give us direction. Please tell me where to stand on the issues. Should I go to nuclear power demonstrations? Should I be against General Ed? Please give me answers. 1 am just another ignorant, apathetic student. Finally 1 hope The Spectrum keeps up their good nuclear power coverage. With all the irrational people running around telling me what to do, and with the Student Association’s apoliticalness, 1 need a rational voice to tell me the facts. In peace and love. Right on!

Susan Gray Treasurer Steven Verney . Business Manager Bill Finkelstein . E3 ridayfridayfridayfri editorial 4 || . o. Coverage of the events at Harrisburg and Love Canal by the so-called student newspapers belie on a deeper level an attack on the foundations that our nation fought the Revoluntionary War. Our founding fathers planted the seed for a nation that used scientific breakthroughs and their applications to supply the needs of a growing, prosperous country. Continuing scientific development will insure the expanding resource base that the developing world needs. Reliance on Appropriate Technology,’* such as solar energy will only insure that we will be fighting over an ever-shnnking resource base. The implication of this shift in policy is the genocide of half the earth’s future population. Since the Other One, and The Spectrum are just reiterating what NYP1RG tells us, and also since the students are paying for all three “student” groups. we are paying three times the amount needed for coverage of a single view. Our money is not used to explore 3 different views, but to have someone tell us one thing three times. The student body has enough conceptual and moral intelligence to be able to decide what is right and wrong. The job of a student newspaper should be to present all pertinent “facts,” and allow students to think for themselves. Through the paper we must have access to all credible views. If the paper cannot do this before the editorial staff passes judgement, then the editorial staff should be replaced. I charge that our “student” newspapers have been one-sided by refusing to print pro-science coverage of events. The scientific community demands equal time. Erik Sven Hillings �dayfridayfriday i feedback ■o l H :r n> Take a closer look A letter from the Editor To the Editor April 20, 1979 To the readers I have, from the start, been intrigued by the concept of the Other One the alternative news collective. A group of very serious students have — organized themselves as a cooperative to decentralize power and open the publication to an assortment of views as varied as the individuals. There are no Indians, no chiefs and no struggles. The Other One is in part an experiment in communication ami in part a response to a perceived concentration of power in the hands of The Spectrum and its Editor-in-Chief. That perception which sees a single publication with a disproportionate influence within the student body and a single officer with disproportionate influence within that publication is an entirely accurate one. But the most effective response, I think, is not to be found in the Other One's approach. There may be one or two, but I don’t know of any successful publications that have no one at the helm. Many alternative magazines, such as Mother Jones , have an editorial board that collectively makes all general policy decisions and elects one of its members each year to serve as managing editor. This member coordinates copy, takes charge during deadlines and is there to make quick decisions in time of crisis. This person is granted certain powers limited as they may be by the consent of the magazine’s - — — membership. Generally, the more often a publication appears, the more need for decision-making power to be concentrated in the hands of one individual. Thus, daily newspapers are virtually dictatorships and during deadlines, the city editor or metropolitan editor is in complete control, often able to overrule his boss. The Spectrum if it came out once a month, could be run almost as a pure cooperative. Once a week would be tougher, but there could easily be weekly sessions to decide collectively the content of the issue. Someone would still have to enforce deadlines and coordinate work to eliminate duplication of effort. At three times a week, there is a undeniable need for someone in charge. The general policies of the newspaper could be determined by a group as large as The Spectrum's 30-member editorial board and specific editorial stands could be decided by a smaller group of editors; but there is no way to put out The Spectrum's 20—24 page editions with most every decision a group , decision. None of this means that The Spectrum Editor-in-Chief should have all the influence he or she does have. But the belief that dispersing editorial decisions to a group will naturally broaden the perspective of the publication and, thus make it more responsive to the wide range of student views and tastes is what 1 find troubling. Already, the Other One has developed a particular editorial and political thrust that does not encompass as wide a range of philosophies as are found among the students here. The Spectrum of course, has an even more clearly defined philosophy that I have never thought of as “representative” of student views and tastes. There is considerable merit in diluting any traces of absolute power in a publication, including The Spectrum. But such dilutions will not insure responsiveness to the student body. The correct approach, I think, is to broaden the powers of the readers. , The extra voices that will truly insure a responsive publication are those of the readers. For The Spectrum. I can tell you that if at any time, we had a firm idea of what most, or even a large percentage of readers wanted, we would have given it to them. If we had any notion of how readers ranked the various issues, we would have adjusted our own rankings appropriately. And this year was the year for readers to assert control. The Spectrum has made dozens upon dozens of changes this year, from layout and design, to adding special sections like Fascination , to zeroing in on academic issues we felt were important. Moreover, in my first message to readers back in September I announced our intentions to change and asked for help in settling upon priorities. I can envision this: A new feature, run for one week on a trial basis with the invitation to write or call in and let us know what you think. The next week, we either keep it, alter it or reject it and come up with a new change to put before the readers. As we get that going. I can envision the readers taking over the nominating, as well as judging process An idea comes in from a reader, we put it together as a new feature as best we can and submit it to the masses. The process of refining the newspaper shifts to the audience. I can envision a reader representative, a member of the staff, whose job it is to gauge what the readers are thinking and where their interests lie and to protect those interests. The reader rep could be found pointing out biased ' stories. or gaps coverage in exposing inconsistencies in editorial stands and educating the readership through a weekly column on how to read and evaluate the newspaper. envision I can a board of reader representatives volunteers that are interested in — — - improving the newspaper from the outside. This board would not only attend all Editorial Board meetings, but would be given votes on geneial policy and the selection of the Editorin-Chief. The board would remain outside the daily functioning of the newspaper, but would learn enough about the organization to suggest realistic changes in theory and practice. To insure that the editors would respond, Ibis board would be given space on the editorial page to display their ideas and, if necssary, chastise the paper for hesitating. I can envision an ongoing dialogue between the newspaper and its readers that would heighten the interests of both sides and, lead to a better paper. If such a tradition could be established, its benefits (to the readers) would far outweigh the gains that a cooperative editorial structure could bring. But it didn’t happen this year. There are reasons why and I’ll explore some in coming letters. Meanwhile let me know what you think. Several weeks ago you received a letter from Tietjen, expressing dismay at The Theodore Spectrum's coverage of STAGH’s first production, “The Mad Show." The Spectrum virtually ignored the production and the organization, giving no support to a new student-run group while printing a considerable spread on the Theatre Department’s production of “Summer People.” This has happened m the past, and often. But now The Spectrum has managed to take yet another step in its campaign against student-run theatre. I refer now both to the article printed on C ollege B’s production of “Godspell" and the lack of coverage the show was given after its amazing success. 1 am writing this as a member erf College B, of STAGl- and of the theatre department, so 1 have seen SUNYAB theatre from several points of view. 1 feel that The Spectrum has been particularly unjust. STAGl is now producing “Plaza Suite," a fact I am sure few people on campus are aware of. STAGH is organization, working against a brand-new insurmountable odds, and it needs all the student support it can get. College B, also, works with much against it, not the least of which is the technical theatre department. Virginia Hverett’s word# in The Spectrum's article on “Godspell," referring to students wanting to enjoy theatre, were not the words of some kid out of high school. Ginny is a senior and a theatre major All of the designers, the stage manager, most of the crew members and a good many of the actors in “Godspell” are theatre majors. I find it interesting that not one faculty member of the theatre department came to see the show, although it was a requirement of the department that we see “Summer People.” The theatre department was far less than willing to allow us one day in their scene shop to build our simple set, although it was to be built by technical theatre majors. What is the question in their minds? Are we to be punished by them simply because we wish to do the type of theatre that we can someday get jobs doing? Why do the instructors in the department incompetence in they assume the students themselves have spent three and four years teaching? 1 see a problem here, one that must be looked into. Meanwhile, there is no question as to where the sympathies of The Spectrum lie. I had been under the impression up until now that this was a newspaper for the students. Where is the support of student success that we expect? “Godspell” was the most successful show I have seen done on this campus since my arrival here in 1976. Yet The Spectrum's only acknowledgement of it was an article that smacked of deliberate ridicule. College B is just as serious about theatre as the theatre department, and a good deal more interested in making a production a learning experience for its participants. I worked on “Summer People” as the property mistress, and was told countless times by my supervisor that “I don’t have time to teach you that.” Consequently I had no real responsibility, and wasted two months in which 1 could have been learning construction and painting techniques that would be most valuable to me. This is the theatre department you so happily support. 1 strongly suggest that you take a close look. no, I demand What you find there may shock you. I hope in the future that The Spectrum will be what it claims to be a newspaper that reports the news, not the bits of news it feels are relevent. - - Randi S. Hassow Stage Manager for "(iodspell " Sincerely Thorough job To the Tditor I apologize for not having sent this letter sooner it might have saved you some of the frustration that was projected in your “letter to the students” — Wednesday. The eight-page insert on HARRISBURG was the finest piece of journalism I’ve seen in four years of The Spectrum (or in any other college newspapers I have come across). The photography was superb and the layout was excellent. Bob Basil’s article in which he juxtaposed the small town and big city attitudes was very well done. The remaining background material provided by Pacific News Service and other Spectrum staff people rounded out a very thorough job of reporting. My heartiest congratulations to Tom Buchanan and Dennis Floss for providing photos alive with Dennis for the ominous views of the character reactor and Tom for the portrait of the town and its people under duress and the media. - Joel Dinerstein �00 ! GenEd plans difficult at large universities One of the nation’s most authorities on education, Earl McGrath, told a UB audience Wednesday why he considers general education a crucial development for schools. McGrath cited earlier failures in general education plans and identified obstacles facing such plans today particularly at large universities li UB. Large universities, McGrath said, are not conducive to general education. He warned that numerous divergent units and faculties compound problems in developing an integrated program. When he was a Dean at the University of Iowa, McGrath headed the eventually aborted general education program, which over 25 encompassed departments. McGrath, who spent many years 'it UB in various capacities, respected - « claimed that the main difficulty facing all general programs is not academic, but rather social and political. The measure of a professor’s worth, he said, is not his teaching ability, but the extent of his research. Student threat Benefits such as tenure, raises and national prestige are not gained through teaching general courses, education McGrath recalled. “Until the attitude on teaching excellence changes from one of relative indifference to one of respect and encouragement,” he said, “the power in the faculty will defeat it.” Students pose another threat to general education today, said the former member of the U.S. President’s Commission on Higher Education. “Students are constitutionally opposed to —Smith LIGHTER MOMENT.

Although the Faculty Senate has already approved the Committee’s program, Garver, Bunn and PanniU can add to its original charge, which they wrote, so long as the approved portion is kept intact. Bunn said the primary subject of debate is the possible changes in General Education requirements for professional schools. These exceptions surfaced throughout the Senate’s examination of the program, with Dean of Engineering George Lee advocating, if not a total exemption for the School of Engineering, at least a modified program. The argument "is that some departments and professional schools are already saddled with strict accreditation requirements and cannot accommodate General Education course requirements. Adjusting the program to meet the needs of units with extensive accreditation requirements is one of the things the Committee must consider before it reports back to the Faculty Senate in October. It must also examine new course proposals, basic skills requirements, development of themes and academic advisement.

A detailed letter, issued by SKD and sent throughout the SUNY system, was expected to quell the inquiries and speculation spawned by the two-month old decision. Yet, to date, either or confusion secrecy prevails despite the memo which, according to SUNY Acting Vice Chancellor of University Affairs Richard Gillman, “produced Commissioner of Program Review Don Nolan, however, contends that he has heard no complaints since early April.

"I repeat,” he said, “it is the end of a process. SED has been converting to the shortened registration terms since 1976.” He added that 90 percent of the State’s 15,000 programs currently registered are for one year. Another SED official implied that the memo was almost a concession on the part of the Department since it is essentially the “highest authority in the State.” Others at SUNY, however, are bothered by the procedure followed for the original decision.

The revue (whose book, is written by Newman and famed Broadway director Arthur Laurents) relies totally on its star’s energy to carry it along through a fair score and oft-travelled themes. It is two hours of Phyllis Newman singing, dancing, and joking her way through a thinly disguised account of her own life. She is “the madwoman of Central Park West,” every New York woman in her forties who must contend with an identity lost somewhere between family and Career. For ‘everywoman’ The show opens with Newman prone on her bed amidst a litter of papers. The bedroom is predominantly a place of purple and pink, comfortably cluttered seclusion. We quickly surmise that it is her two children who have named her “the madwoman” because she talks — 'The madwoman' makes lists and sings in isolation Phyllis Newman energizes the Studio Arena stage to herself and makes lists. Newman, the frustrated mother, chooses to wage a generational war instead of stepping outside her own misery long enough to realize the individual miseries of her family. Yet, she is not to be disliked even for her selfishness. We cannot fail to sympathize with her somewhat "Every woman” dreams. Like Newman in real life, Newman as "the madwpman” married “the Prince of Broadway” while on her way to a promising career as a musical comedy actress on the stage. Even with her husband as the most sought after musical comedy author, she sarcastically relates the fun of once having to audition for one of his plays close to 14 times and managing to never land a part in any of his productions. With the addition of two children, she makes the rounds of the game and talk show circuit to maintain a place in the public eye while not taking much time away from home. It becomes a safe career. Years of this, and in her own words, she becomes the “quasi actress” we witness attempting to "go to my own garage for repairs.” We follow Newman as she takes us through the various stages of her life through her experiment with an “est”-like therapy (where her innate desire to perform in front of people makes the session into a stand-up comic routine), through appearances on talk shows where she must be bubbly and wonderful all of this peppered with songs (of composers ranging from Leonard Bernstein to Barry Manilow) whose lyrics parallel the script. The show becomes the process by which Newman does make her “repairs." In the bedroom where we first find her, she sings "be an actress/be a mother/be them both up to the hilt/ they’re the solid ground/ upon which your nest is built.” The time to stop isolating herself from challenges and the concerns of others, the time to stop making lists and to start taking action has finally arrived. And we can only applaud "the madwoman" for risking safety in hopes of gaining sanity. — — �fx The Scooters debut * CL C J5 Editor's note: The purpose of this latest innovation of the Prodigal Sun is to bring to you more of this what is happening in Buffalo music ever-expanding scene.

Missing was “How Come I Never See You in My Mirror? an amusing vampire love song that would have been a crowd pleaser, but “it just didn’t have that garage-band feel we liked when we rehearsed it.” The songs were performed with very danceable a lot of energy and the fact that no one got up and did the Funky Western Civilization wasn’t the band’s fault.

Nonetheless, shows like Tonio K.’s make life in this funky Western Civilization much more bearable Pat Carringtoi Stage 1979 1 - Steve Forbert/April 5 Platitudes like “Best Concert or "Worst Concert” assume an plethora of assumed ugly knowledge, most likely based on pretension. One must be awfully transcendental to believe he can communicate, with a mere label, the honesty of an artist he feels is transmitted by song. why That’s day-to-day, overnight, one-hour-to-deadline criticism is so abhorrent - one has outspoken, zippy to be an journalist not a critic. But with this newspaper there is time to think, the chance to explain. Forbert’s poorly Steve attended act at the Stage 1 was the best concert I saw this year because for the first time I observed a fighting songwriter (1) on alien turf; (2) winging cultural reflections through entertainment; (3) enjoying himself and the audience; (4) without being obnoxious. Buffalo Folk Festival ’79 April 27-29 Like it’s said that the best jazz emotion from the listener, boils it, and sends it back, Forbert patty cake bakes the crowd’s heads with exclamatory harmonica and playing commanding guitar strumming. While his problems were many a broke** guitar strap, broken bassist* guitar string, drunken record people, an average backup band Forbert always exuded an earthy poise bordering on cliche rock 'n roll stances. Fie wasn’t so careless as to be jive but was flirty enough to seem carefree. Forbert so manipulated variety in a basic, static music form that when he did solo, trio and whole band variations, there seemed to be three separate acts onstage. Forbert, the Independent Man, sang with both whimsy and passion, performing his record, Alive On Arrival, along with rocking versions of “Jambalaya" and “Prison Blues.” With the rather direct emotion of whimsy universal combined with a passion, Forbert could have been maudlin or fuddlingly schmaltzy. But his youthful personality which is somehow subdued on record succeeds in a degree of believability. That is, you haven't been where Forbert’s singing about but there’s a basic emotion or circumstance that is a universal image to the young and independent-minded. Forbert deserves credit for this struggle, for going to New York instead of L.A. where everyone for thinks folkies belong, beginning to write about the boonies when singer-songwriters are penning disco hits. And Steve Forbert gets his credit, but not on a mass level, not until after 1985 when the singer-songwriter cy.le begins anew. —Harold Goldberg extracts - — Friday Evening Concert Fillmore Room, Squire Hall, 8 p.m. (admission) Jim Ruaert, M.C.

After all, the spaceships look similar in design, there is a princess and a hero plus robots who are reminiscent of R2D2; but Buck Rogers is not a mere Xerox. Spaceships do look familiar, but after the recent flood of outer space adventures, it has become increasingly difficult to have an original craft design bearing any semblance of realism. But rather than being another Star Wars, Buck Rogers is a hilarious film whose biggest strength lies in its refusal to take itself seriously (as Star Wars did). Quick one-liners written by Glen Larson on producer everything from the city of Chicago to sex grace the film, keeping the audience laughing. The film itself is a remake of ihe 1930’s Buck Rogers serial. In this version, Buck (Gil Gerard) is the sole crew member of the final American deep space wondering where the jokes are. As long as Larson sticks to parody and comedy, the film succeeds in providing amusing entertainment As for originality, it exists in Buck Rogers' portrayal of the Earth’s futuristic city. Buildings which rise straight up to the sky and jut out in all directions mark Larson’s architecture of the future. Equally impressive is Larson s version of the city’s rapid transit system. In his city of tomorrow, people move from place to place via glass-enclosed monorails that efficiently glide across tracks mid-air. in suspended Additionally, technical advisors probe. Launched in the year 1987, Buck’s ship does not complete its mission until 500 years later when the ship finally returns to Larth. However, due to a severe meteor shower, Buck escapes death when the instruments inside the ship were destroyed, leaving him in a state of suspended animation. Travelling at the speed of light, Buck has aged only five months during his all expenses _paid universe-wide tour. From there, he goes on to meet the Draconites and their lovely Princess Ardela (Pamela Hensley) who are on their way to make a treaty with Larth. Eventually, Buck returns to an Earth just recovering from a nuclear holocaust which destroyed all (including his “kind of town," Chicago). Despite the apparent peaceful intentions of the Draconians, Buck and Earth Colonel Wilma Deering (Erin Gray) detect a militaristic streak in them and set out to save the Earth from certain doom. Take it in fun The characters presented in Buck Rogers are clearly not copies of those in Star Wars, f irst, the princess in this film is beautiful, seductive and evil whereas the princess in Star Wars is plain, wholesome and good. Similarly, Larson's hero is worldly and wise while Luke Skywalker was young and naive. Admittedly the robots in Buck Rogers are exact replicas of R2D2 and C3PO but were they not mere copies of Laurel and Hardy themselves? Also, Larson has produced a script defying anyone to take.it seriously. Whereas Star Wars' plot was serious, Larson’s story serves the purpose of poking fun at space fantasy films. When Larson dwells too long on actual plot description, Buck Rogers turns dull, leaving the audience Gil Gerard 25 th Century Buck Rogers have made the futuristic city appear realistic rather than just a small scale model magnified for the screen. Unending adventures The acting in Buck Rogers certainly aids Larson in creating his parody. As the cocky astronaut, Gil Gerard establishes himself as a comedy actor. The one-liners are delivered with expert timing as Gerard invariably succeeds in breaking us up. But, like Larson, Gerard becomes stale the movie’s serious during sequences. Pamela Hensley, the Princess who is attracted to the hero, is around mostly for show as she is given little to work with. But Erin Gray, as the Earth Colonel attracted to the hero, is perfect as the straightman for Gerard’s quips. Of the rest of the cast, Henry Silva as Kane, the Draconian advisor to the Princess, stands out. In one of the film’s few straight dramatic roles, Silva is adept at playing the sly minister and getting the audience against him. Finally, Mel Blanc (Bugs Bunny to us all), provides the comic voices for the two "drones” in the film a particularly funny portion of the film Near the end of the movie, Larson makes it clear that the adventures of Buck Rogers and friends (as well as enemies) have not ended with the credits. Buck Rogers II, or something of that nature, can be expected soon. Let’s hope the format is similar and results in' a farcical parody that keeps all laughing from beginning till end- \ �I o I7IES Hair' bounces and shines Forman makes sixties timeless by Ross Chapman Hair is more than a movie with dancing in it; it is a movie that dances. Director Milos Forman's camera and the editing of the film move to the music. In an opening sequence, the camera revolves exuberantly about a woman singing “Aquarius” while cutting to shots of flower children and police horses dancing in Central Park. But this is merely a more obvious instance of a gleeful dynamism which permeates the film. Throughout, the direction and characterizations >uggest song as well as narrative substance. Hair is not a protest film, not a historical recreation editing but a celebration of the myth, now gone, that once entranced a generation. So when the film’s characters break are not into dance, we surprised. In inferior musicals like Grease and West Side Story, the music comes out of nowhere, as if from behind a rock characters end result is more than vaguely comical. But in Hair, the characters are like those in a ballad and their outbursts of song and dance are a natural manifestation of their or around a corner. The just up and sing and the celebration. Nonconformist energy And the outbursts are as delightful as they are natural. The original music written by Galt MacDermot and given a denser, before. The film’s score glides over the somewhat archie lyrics of Gerome Ragni and James Rade, concentrating instead on jubilant rhythms. The choreography of Twyla Tharp is perfect for the film. A student of Martha Graham’s and Merce Cunningham’s, Tharp lends to the dancing the wild, non-conformist energy the film demands with ragged, jerky motions superimposed on slow, graceful cj 8b35 THE CHINA SYNDROME 7:30 tri 11:30 pm (R6) Second Big Feature and his tribe is clear Dialectics aside Hud (Dorsey Wright) shares the )eannie (Annie affections of Golden, a singer for the New Wave rock band I he Shirts) with Woof (Don Dacus, the new lead guitarist of Hair is quaint these days and Miles Forman and his ribaldry screenwriter Michael Weller know it. Their intention is not to outrage us or deliver windy homilies (like Coming Home) on how the Vietnam War was wrong, but rather to amuse us with the period’s energy and the hypocrisies of the era. The "film version, says Forman, "is different from any stage production of the piece but faithful to its spirit. When you are in the middle of a storm like the sixties, you don't have lime to think about what is with which cinematographer Miroslav Ondricek graced the film Slaughterhouse Five. Ondricek matches his filmic pallete with the mood of the scene and its music. In the “TunneFSuite," the park is lit in somber, wet colors against which the brightly garbed hippies move like technicolored comets. For the mellow, going on. With distance now, I can look at this period and see the contradictions, the humor." Contradictions, indeed. JVliles Forman approaches the hippie ethos with the same slightly sour army training sequence is a tone poem of green, brown and harsh glare.

In one especially memorable sequence referred to as the “Tunnel Suite,’’ Forman runs together the song's “Colored bounder orchestration, is much more spirited and danceable than TRANSIT ROAD AT political jibes expressed the rebellious non-conformity of its day. But nudity is no longer a gestures, Tharp’s dance company performs individualistically, the chaos of their exaltant gyrations occasionally and suddenly synchronized only to dissolve once again into tangles of dancers. The camera dances with them, focusing on small clots, pulling back for the moments of group upper-class dinner party, he uses whites and pale yellows to provide the scene with an appropriate TRANSIT DRIVE IN and anarchistic panorama of the moment Full frontal nudity, interracial sexuality, and barbed wit that marked his One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest. He shows his flower children singing and dancing and making light of the "establishment” but he also softly chides them for their sometimes destructive irresponsibility. They beg for money, go hungry, and sleep on benches. The head hippie, George Berger (Treat Williams) tries to upset the system but finds himself in a bitter, stalemated argument. He tries to charm an MR into letting him pass but again finds himself bogged down in argument The title song of the film is shot in a way that quite clearly says, ‘‘(’accuse George gets his friends imprisoned by dancing on someone’s dinner table and as he walks the streets joyously singing "Hair” to himself, his companions are also singing but in the midst of a prison riot.

It is here that she sings "Easy To Be Hard.’’ What could be more obvious? Still, Forman embraces the anti-war movement. He displays no affection for the military, having Claude Hooper Bukowski (John Savage of The Deer Hunter) tormented by the inhuman rigors of army training. In a powerful movement, he slides the image of a Vietnamese girl across the £ screen. This, juxtaposed against the timid Claude being trained to S be a killer, delivers a resounding against military blow the involvement in Indochina without =• words or ideological bombast only with feelings. And in the end when Berger's - good-hearted irresponsibility brings him disaster, tite group is united, singing "Let The Sun Shine In." The last shot of the film is a protest rally rushing the gates of the White House. Forman has set up a dialectic between the solipsistic merrymaking of the flower children and the rigid utility of the straight world. The spirit of non-conformity finds meaning and value in action against the forces (rather than the manifestations) of conformity. But dialectics and subtle criticisms aside, Milos Forman has made a film to be enjoyed above all, a film of vibrant music and energetic dance.

Stage 1 - FM/April 15, 1979 On the radio last Sunday a rather progressive Canadian band called FM was heard to have an ethereal essence aspiring to popular science fiction culture.

There was no real saving wit to their words as far as my stereo could detect but there was a bit of philosophy involved. evening its saving ELP and Yes.

In the eleven-page incomplete without one), he wrote that the essence of the horror story’s appeal is "the let’s slow is >wn and at the accident” syndrome He explains that “the great appeal of horror I iinall> What really makes The Inside Story jtiageous guitar work of Robben Ford tek to jazz to blues. The first track is ‘.lied ‘‘Magic San" where Ford brings an outstanding album is the in song styles ranging from a fantastic jazz-rock number his guitar alive in melodic mversation that occasionally bursts info 'creams and produces the ■st guitar licks imaginable and very often unimaginable. He gets some rung accompaniment from keyboard player, Russel I erranle who provides much more than a back-up but complement the guitar and adds his own noteworthy moments to the song. However, this mostly instrumental album is more than a jam session, it’s a powerhouse of guit. r work by a guitarist who is as enticing in his back-up rhythms as he is in his lead solos. Even his improvisational interludes as heard in "For the One I Love,’’ melodicly linger on to become as mind cmplanting as the lead line. Composer, songwriter Ford’s composing capabilities are also revealed on the album as the twists in tempo and transitions run smoothly. The title track, for instance, starts out with a very heavy guitar riff, but it suddenly melts into a very light line in perfect transformation. Other such exciting diversities characterize many of the songs on the LP as there is never, NEVER, a dull or monotonous moment. There is no doubt that as a composer, he arouses in us an anticipation that is never disappointed, and it is this skill that adds yet another dimension to Robben Ford’s talents. In a bluesy tune called "North Carolina," Ford proves his vocal abilities as he belts out a raunchy set of blues that are as fierce as his subsequent guitar solo. The other vocal tune, “Need Somebody," was written by a group from New York City called “Stuff,” and is one of many Hghpoints that cover the album from side to side. The casual vocals are as provocative as the tasty blues licks Ford alternates with, and has that magic of "love-at-first-listen.” The final track, a fur:ky tune called “Tee Time For Eric” is, along with “Magic Sam” and “The Inside Story," probably one of the best on the album. Ford’s guitar work covers the fretboard giving in to no limitations and placing an appropriate finale on a super album. Throughout the LP Robben Ford not only uses speed but style to entrance his listeners, in both rhythmic chords and lead lines. The tempo and tonal transitions of the songs are also perfectly executed as the album is a complete success in revealing a remarkably brilliant talent, accomplished in song writing but even greater in his ability to make the guitar do the things and sound the way that is all too rare, but surely a treasure when found. Benson’s back Another new Lp, but by a more familiar guitarist, is George Benson’s double record set Livin' inside Your Love. It is mostly what you would expect from Benson mellow, funky, jazz. However, he includes a good variety of songs, some of which are his versions of old classics like “Hey Girl” by Carole King, “Soulful Strut,” and “A Change is Gonna Come” by Sam Cooke. His guitar lines flow in the most melodic ease heard among jazz guitarists today. In songs like “Nassau Day" he’ll start playing the straight melody and then will move into his unparalleled improvisational techniques featuring doubled notes. On both records Benson has employed the back-op of a full orchestra and six of the twelve tracks begin with their big sound. It fits his style very well and makes for easy listening. However, his versatility is exemplified when he gets into a song with a disco-like beat and actually makes it sound good. Two songs, “You'll Never Be Too Far From Me” and “Before You Go” create an almost unique back-drop for Benson’s solo as it is a combination of both disco and orchestrated sounds. One minute he’s playing with a synthesizer and the next it’s section of violins. The combination is disturbing to say the least, and yet his solo is right with it funking up or mellowing it out Vocal endeavors On the second record Benson’s deep smooth voice is the major feature, and flows in the same easy way that he plays his guitar. His version of the “Unchained Melody” is classic ard probably one of h's best vocal endeavors ever. And what Benson album would be complete without his trademark? The scat-singing that we first heard him do on his grammy award-winning “Masquerade” is also featured in his new songs “Love Ballad” and "Love is a Hurtin’ Thing.” It is still an amazing feat and done only as an expert like him can do. On the whole the albums are good listening with good variety. Benson’s solos are long but melodically hold your interest, and he does a more than commendable renovation of some old tunes. sfffoil Jtecafi Once King begins writing about people and concentrating on their feelings instead of stomachwrenching disasters, he's very skillful and convincing. He kills off more likeable, well-drawn, threedimensional characters than many writers bring to life.' fiction through the ages is that it serves as a rehearsal our own deaths." He points out that the mix of our fascination and our revulsion for the "pocket for horrors” of life produces guilt, "a guilt which seems different from the guilt that used to accompany sexual awakening." I like that; he has a good understanding of what he wants to accomplish. And now to the stories . . not much . “jerusalem’s Lot” and "One For the Road" are both Salem's Lot stories. The former is an 1850’s horror story told in correspondence and the 19th century flavor is inconsistently portrayed. The latter is set in the present and is a dully typical vampire story. “Graveyard Shift,” about mutant rats and "The Mangier,” about a bloodthirsty machine, rely on revulsion and little else the implausible behavior of the characters nullifying the horror of the rats, and "The Mangier” mutilating interest with its familiar plot and "surprise” ending. — initially The quality remains the same through interesting but ultimately unsatisfying “Gray Matter,” a story about what bad beer can do to you, and “The Lawnmower Man,” a simply stupid that answers the question, “What if Pan sidelined in lawnwork? story "Trucks” anticipates a takeover by irate motor vehicles but gives no reason for their outburst of aggression and intelligence. Fear of the dark is brought to ill light in “The Boogeyman,” and bullies who won’t go away are featured in the much too ■» ,,,,,,.» » . y. ». horrific mix "Sometimes They Come Back." The quality varies from fair to terrible, but none are even near worthy of the reviewers’ quotes featured on the cover or King's forward. long But the man must be good, right?Read those Talent does show through in many of these: Battleground,” a story of revenge that has a weak is nevertheless chilling; “Children of the Corn a very well-written cliche about :y spirits; and ”1 Am the Doorway,” a little story about invasion from within. “Strawberry Spring" and “I Know What You Need" are more low-key, but as is often true, strike firmly through convincing, well-drawn characters quotes! With ‘Quitters, Inc,,” about a guaranteed method for kicking the habit; "The Ledge,” a tale of wagering; and “The Man Who Loved Flowers,” a chillingly pleasant view of what a young man’s heart turns to this time of year; King shows a definite talent toi horror. But that’s only three. Best in the book are "Night Surf,” a quick, well written, penetrating look at the end of the world; a touching story of trust and love, "The Last Rung on the Ladder;" and the absolutely masterful “The Woman in the Room," an excellently crafted look at euthanasia. Surprisingly, none of those three gems can be considered horror, and yet they are the only completely successful stories in the book. King is especially unsuccessful with supernatural stories. His are trite, clichcd, and often without reason. King wrote in his forward that "story value holds dominance over every other facet of the writer’s craft; characterization, theme, mood, none of those things is anything if the story is dull." What stands out in most of those poor stories are the very qualities he sees as secondary, while his story lines usually miss their marks. King’s surprise endings are lit in neon from the first page. His plot twists are predictable, much too dependent on exaggeration and "what if’s’ ’ that stretch the "willing suspension of disbelief" beyond the snapping point. Once King begins writing about on concentrating their feelings stomach-wrenching disasters, he's very convincing. He kills off more likeable, three-dimensional characters than many writers bring life. I’m anxious to experience King’s full potential as an author. From the forward, it is clear that he has a definite liking for horror stories. From this collection of short fiction, his awkwardness with the form is obvious. I suspect the success of his novels lies in all those other facets he professes to take so lightly. Buy the book if you wish. It’s worthwhile but disappointing, both because he has great skill and potential, and because there are several authors who aren’t promoted, distributed or praised as much as he, who can write circles around him. Pick up any collection by Flarlan Ellison, Robert Bloch or Fritz Leiber (to name a few), if you can possibly find one but watch Stephen King. He’s good, and only has to realize it. —Mark Cofta to »»»v* Next weekend, UUAB will present the annual Buflalo Folk Festival.

Watei shortage? Domestic oil production peaked and began to decline in 1970. Meanwhile, since 1973, growth in world oil production has failed to keep pace with world population growth. Per capita world production has since fallen from 5.34 barrels to 5.20 barrels. The widening gap betwen energy demand and oil production was expected to be filled by nuclear power and coal. But the accident at Three Mile Island has dealt a devastating blow to the nuclear industry. In the wake of Harrisburg the chief executive officer of one of the nation’s largest financial institutions told me his company would not put another dollar into nuclear power. “The industry is on its last legs.” he said. The coal industry is also running into growing troubles.

To typecast Nader as a consumer advocate, or even a social critic is to vastly underemphasize the scope of his thinking. What Nader does better than any politican, intellectual or activist I can think of, is take apart the complexity of American society and put it back together with several critical but simple themes as the foundation.

Planning To Go To Law School? Consider: Hofstra University School of Law Pre-Law Summer Institute Break the cycle The cutting edge of Nader’s genius is the integration of themes: how the past created the present which threatens the future; how business influences government which fails to protect the public; how society affects the individual and how individuals can organize and orient themselves to affect society. Listen carefully to the nuances of his rhetoric and the world begins to make sense. Nader talks about cycles, patterns and perpetuating schemes when discussing problems. The solutions begin with breaking the cycle, disrupting the pattern and exposing the scheme and end with the creation of new cycles and new themes built around the individual citizen, rather than the The Hofstra University School of Law will again offer a "Pre-Law Summer Institute" for five weeks from May 29 to June 28 for weekday sections (Tuesdays. Wednesdays & Thursdays) and from June 2 to June 30 for the Saturday sections The Institute will be of value to those already planning to attend law school or those still undecided Taught by the Hofstra Law School faculty, the Institute seeks to develop analytical skills and to introduce the student to the law library and legal writing techniques.These are essential tools for competent performance in law school The Institute will be conducted in the same manner as regular law school courses and will include case and statutory corporation. When your mind works like this, the choice of issues is easy: any problem where the corporate giants, the governmental regulators and the public’s needs come together will clearly illustrate Nader’s analyses and research techniques.

The context: a huge, complicated society bent on growth and the pursuit of affluence, has been kept unaware of the real forces at work by generational propoganda and the people’s own trust of government, business and technology. The problem: big business, cornering most of the power and the methods for accumulating it in the economy, has constructed a national and international corporate/state oligarchy that pursues only profit and self-perpetuation. Corporate control threatens to extend itself to all facets of American life while the environment, the individual and hopes for the future deteriorate. The solution: decentralize corporate power and limit its reach, keeping education, communication networks and essential services like utilities under community or citizen control. And reorient the individual American to insure that his role as a citizen is understood and indoctrinated with the same persistence that corporate America used to create the culture of more, more, more and new, new, new. 2 thinking. So he stays away from mostly moral debates and concentrates instead on economic issues with a heavy political significance, shoving the citizen in as the forgetton, abused and mislead individual. Nuclear power is a natural; in fact, all of the energy as do crisis fits neatly into Nader philosophy environmental dangers, occupational hazards, media control and corporate infiltration of education. The relentless casting of the corporation as the villian, the individual as the victim (and, subliminally, himself as the hero) makes Nader’s speech coherent, entertaining and, at times, downright fun: “The utility executives in Harrisburg didn’t play golf this weekend” “The sun contradicts the rules of corporate economics. It becomes hard to plan an embargo.” “Four of five students are talking to each other. Do you hear them say; ‘There goes Ed Parker, he’s a very, very effective citizen’? No, you don’t.” — » FREE... MINIMUM shoesalesman, nows students. After years of awakening and sharpening their minds, he knows in immense detail how students think and, much more importantly, how they don’t think at universities that don't force them to. Carefully, with a subtly-played outrage, a marvelously sensible philosophy and a dry, casual from page Universities fail Ralph Nader has the intellectual amphatamine for the lethargic students of the 1970s. He knows, from personal experience, that universities fail to reach students in two major ways: they fail to connect all the disciplines.of thought into a coherent view of the world; and they reinforce, rather than challenge, students’ value systems. He, on the other hand, moves right in for the fill trampling over both failures and bringing the audiences’ mind out of its listlessness. Though his ideas are often radical and his goals immense, Nader is credible in a curiously powerful way. He contradicts many beliefs that students have reluctantly held since pre-adolescence and reinforces just as many beliefs that students would like to hold in adulthood, if they could only imagine where to begin and how to maintain them. Those who came wondering how cooperatives could work on a large scale walked away imagining huge energy co-ops like the prototypes now working for some Nebraska farmers. Those who came wondering how to wake up the public to corporate evil walked away imagining “citizen education” starting in primary school and continuing through adult life. The cycle? Challenge the belief, expose the villian, sketch the solution. It has its weak spots. Nader’s approach is decidedly middle-class and he barely mentions racial inequalities and other forms of social injustice beyond those that are petpetuated by corporations and, therefore, victimize all of us. But still, in the purest sense of the word, Nader is a leader. 1 have seen many speakers at this University, many attempt to incite students to action, many people who came to enlighten an audience, many visionaries with a message for this decade of student America; but Ralph Nader, who brought a Tuesday afternoon audience to its feet without raising his voice, is the only true charismatic leader I’ve seen at this University.

Feature Editor There is a new vogue in capital executions these days. If it catches on as there is reason to other, more believe it wall — — conventional methods of capital punishment such as death by the electric chair, the gas chamber or the firing squad may soon be obsolete. Its promoters refer to it the as “humane execution” injection of a fast-acting, lethal - barbituate. To date, no one has been executed by lethal injection, yet Texas, Oklahoma three states and most recently, Arkansas, have already passed laws providing for execution in such a fashion. — Numerous other and Tennessee, considering states (Florida most recently) are similar laws. Lethal injection advocates maintain that it is a more “humane” method of execution. Those who favor it, characterize the effects as “just like going to sleep.” But many authorities are afraid that by adding this new dimension, the death sentence will be made more publicly acceptable. “To use the word ‘humane’ when referring to any form of capital punishment is in itself ludicrous. At best, lethal injection may be a more palatable form of execuation, but calling it humane is a gross misuse of the word,” contends American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) staff member Carol Palmer. The procedure of administering lethal expressed a concern that 9 focusing attention on the supposedly humane method of | execution, instead of the death 3 itself, might eventually lead to a injection, She like the methods of presently used execution, provides a loophole to * shield executioners from any sense of responsibility. In Oklahoma, not one but three injections are to be given, one deadly, the other two blanks. A physician in Texas explained the State’s procedure in a letter to the American Medical Association (AMA) News : “The condemned effect of senseless executions. “If we continue in this direction, there may come a day when the elderly and the handicapped, like some criminals, arc done away with 'humanely' and medically,” she noted. The medical implications of the use of lethal injections are serious enough to have concerned the American Medidal Association. Some doctors have tried to defend lethal injection by noting that the injection is not administered by a doctor, but ACLU member Karen Keavy points out that whoever does administer the injection must have had some medical training. UB “snowball” person will be strapped to a gurney, an attendant will insert a needle into the person’s arm. A neutral solution will be administered followed by intravenously, fatal a fast-acting dosage of sodium thiopental. The lethal dose will be adnTinistered through a set of tubes by the executioner who will be in another room and will not face the condemned person.” pharmacologist Deborah Leavy of the ACLU suggests that lethal injection also has a special attraction in Texas because it would make executions less bloody. A Texas newscaster is fighting a court battle to gain access to execution chambers. If he wins, live, full color executions could be beamed into Texas homes. ACLU spokesman defines Henry Scwarzchild claims that some methods of execution are worse than others but none are better. “Lethal injection is just as obscene and stomach turning as a death in the electric chair. It’s no more pretty hut it just doesn’t smell as bad,” maintains - states who can make executions that acceptable by more instituting cheaper, less dramatic methods is besides the point. The much Capital punishment rears its head again after long hiatus by John Glionna An “eleventh hour” reprieve, handed down by Supreme Court Justice William Renquist just hours before the scheduled execution last week, saved the life of convicted killer, John Evans. The twenty-eight-year-old Evans, convicted of killing a Mobile, Alabama pawnshop owner in 1977, would have been the first prisoner executed in this country since Gary Gillmore brashly faced a Utah firing squad two years ago. In a stunning about-face, Evans, who originally told his jury, “I’d rather die than spend life in prison”, has decided to challenge the death penalty statute in the state of Alabama. The Alabama State Supreme Court still has 90 days to reschedule a date for Evan’s execution. Another inmate who appears nearest to execution is 29-year-old John Spenkelink, convicted in Florida of murdering a friend over money. His death warrant was signed by Florida Governor, Reuben Askew. Repeated pleas to a U.S. Court of Appeals earlier this year eventually led to a stunning decision last Monday by the U.S. Supreme Court against hearing the case. No reason was given for the refusal. Spenkelink’s only chance of survival seems to lie in a last ditch plea for a reversal of his sentence by a Florida clemency board. Habeus corpus Both cases illustrate the precarious existence of the nearly 500 men and women sitting on death row in 24 states across the nation. Two nationally based groups, the NAACP National Defense Fund (NDF), and the American Civil liberties Union (ACLU), have led continuing campaigns to slow the current of capital punishment legislation. The groups work on two fronts. First, they try to keep condemned prisoners alive by filing appeals, habeas corpus motions and requests for stays of execution. Second, they outwardly challenge the implementation of individual death sentences. What these opponents, of capital punishment fear most is that the loss of these battles may eventually result in a tide of executions to follow. “Capital punishment seems to be on the comeback trail. If present trends continue, executions by the Edward Carr the issue as a very complex moral question. “Pharmacologically, drugs work in this area but what must be seriously considered is, is this the way we want to use drugs,” he said. The injection’s proponents maintain that it is the modern, American way to institute capital fast, antiseptic, punishment medicinal and painless. On the opposite side of the coin, civil libertarians contend that lethal injection does for execution what the neutron bomb does for war it makes the unthinkable more thinkable. Whatever the case, it appears that “humane” execution is not only a reality, but a growing - terms lethal injection as a diversionary way of trying to convince the public that it can kill nicely. “The fact that Scwarzchild, ‘No rational standard’ Ass'l. Feature Editor „ state will become less uncommon occurrences,” warned ACLU spokesman, Henty Scwarzchild. “There are an awful lot of other people getting close,” said civil rights lawyer, John Carroll of Montgomery, Alabama, a state where 30 prisoners await execution. “Alabama is really bloodthirsty.” Every one of the 500 death row prisoners are there due to state imposed sentences. “Each case is an individual decision made by the prosecuting attorney whether or not hell seek the subjective. death penalty. This procedure is One prosecutor standing next to another will make a different decision on the same case,” emphasized ACLU staff member, Carol Palmer. She went on to explain that each state also has its own clemency board some effective, some not. The boards review cases of capital crime and makes recommendations which a state governor considers before making the decision to sign the death warrant - Radical standards Consequently, the process of meting out the death penalty by individual states contains countless inconsistencies. In an Ohio case, for instance, four people tried to rob a pawnshop and one killed the man turned state’s evidence owner. The trigger and bargained a life sentence; a woman in the* getaway car, who had not been inside the pawnshop, received a death sentence. This demonstrates, said LDF lawyer, Joel Burger, that “there is no set rational standard for the state to determine who lives or dies.” At this moment, 33 states and the Federal government have capitol punishment statutes. Of the condemned prisoners, about half are black, and the majority reluctantly await execution of their sentences in southern states. Georgia has the dubious distinction of recording more executions (juveniles included) than any other state; followed closely by Florida, Texas and Alabama. Yet, Scwarzchild warns that capital punishment is by no menas a dictate handed down entirely by southern states. He pointed out that in New York State alone, from 1890 to 1963 (the year the last execution was carried out in New York), 695 people have met their deaths by execution. “That ain’t so very few,” he contended. “Legislators in other states all over the country are furiously working for a reinstatement of the death - —continued on page 22— real issue is whether the government is entitled to kill human beings in the first place,” he reasoned. - Disguise death ACLU member Palmer suggests that another danger of lethal injection is that it tries to disguise death in the cloak of medicine. one.

According to most polls, 60 to 65 percent of the adult population claim they are in favor of the death penalty. Yet, Palmer maintains that this apparent support of capital punishment is an illusion. “Its got a lot to do with the method and the casualness that the question is usually asked,” she stressed. “Polls establishing public opinion are usually conducted over the phone and most anyone sitting around watching the evening news might give a rash value judgement to an abstractly phrased question on capital punishment,” she contended, adding that much less than half of This country’s population would opt for the death penalty when confronted I with a real-life murder situation. The reasons people give for supporting capital punishment vary; whether it be its use as a crime deterrent or as another way of saving tax dollars. Proponents of execution tend to point out that they are cheaper than providing food, clothing and shelter for convicted criminals. One Washington journalist astutely reasoned that the nation is returning to capital punishment because it is fed up with the complexities of liberalism, fed up with rising crime and an ineffectual judicial system. Even though capital punishment does nothing to solve these problems, he observed, supporting the death penalty is a way of stomping one’s foot on the ground and saying “Enough! I will not tolerate any more.” Yap Nonetheless, opponents of the death penalty -FREE DAY BUS TRIP Letchworth State Park believe that there are several viable alternatives to the definitive sentence. “The laws of some states such as Connecticut. Pennsylvania and Vermont include death statutes but these are rarely, if ever, used,” said Palmer. “If it is not possible to completely do away with the death penalty, then hopefully it could be reserved for those murderers convicted of mass, premeditated slayings,” she added. Another alternative illustrates what Palmer refers to as “inherent logic”. She cited several successful programs, being run by convicts in prisons across the nation such as “scared straight” in Rahway State Prison, New Jersey and “YAP”, a program instituted at the stale prison in Fish kill. New York. Under these programs, prisoners invite young convicted or potential offenders to the jail and relate how crime has ruined their lives. “The cons give the kids a direct, brutal street talk treatment much like a confessed alcoholic would give at an Alcoholics Anonymous meeting,” she said. "We hope that the program will be successful in two respects; that it will give deprived kids a source of guidance to help steer them in the right direction and also give the convicts a sense that they’re helping someone else other than themselves." One can debate forever the issue of whether this country needs to institute a death penalty. There are sane, sensitive persons who argue that the death penalty is a barbarious instrument and that its use indicates a lack of respect for life. There are others, no less sane or sensitive, who argue that “not” having a death penalty debases the value of life. Palmer believes that the opponents of the death penalty have the answer to the question capital punishment activists are asking today; How can we live without a death penalty? “Very easily,” she concluded. “The more we understand ourselves, the more urgently we question our certainty about what is right and wrong with ending a life on the basis of our convictions.” HEAR 0 ISRAEL COMMUTER AFFAIRS COORDINATOR Position for Next Year For gems from the Jewish Bible - Applications available at the Saturday, April 28th SA Office 9 am from Squire & Ellicott Tunnel Leaving > Talbert Hall /// * MUST BE RETURNED BV April 24th Return at Sundown Phone 875-4265 RiddU: Who* Hot Wingt N' Things and Shapes Thai fright and Fliot Tho Skiot with Colors Bright?

Thus, students who are here now will not have to face totally revamped requirements when the Springer Report is implemented in September. The grandfather clauses will not only apply to currently enrolled students, but will cover both freshmen and transfer students attending UB in the Fall. In regard to University-wide requirements, total credit hours will be altered in the following ways: -Any student with at least 88 completed credit hours by September 1. 1979 will need a minimum 122 credit hours to graduate. -Any student with at least 24 completed credit hours by September 1, 1979 will need a minimum of 124 credit hours to graduate. Major requirements will be altered in the following ways; -Current major requirements are to be explained in terms of required courses if they are not now so explained -All upper division students accepted in a major by September 1, 1979 or who have 88 credit hours by that date may not be required to take more than the current number of courses required in any mgjor. -Students who have completed 56 credit hours by September 1, 1979 cannot be required to take more than two additional courses beyond the number currently required in any major. These provisions shall apply to students as long as they maintain continuous matriculation in the University.

E r Is it ‘free’ checking? by Tom Derham "I Public Interest News Service Five Democratic Assemblymen have charged New York City’s Dollar Savings Bank with pulling off an “old-fashioned bait and switch scam” on depositors when it recently required all checking customers to switch free accounts to “NOW” accounts on January 15. Their free checking is no longer free. Bronx Assemblyman Oliver Koppell, Eliot Engel and Jose Serrano and Manhattan Assemblymen Herman Farrell and Richard Gottfried said that while “NOW” accounts do pay interest on checking deposits, customers have to keep at least $1,000 in the account to cover checking costs. A joint statement by the five assemblymen said the switch will cost the small depositor money. “It is outrageous that the fifth largest savings bank in the nation has first baited customers with free checking then switched them to an account for which charges are made,” said Koppel, chairman of the Assembly Committee on Corporations, Authorities and Commissions. Henry Waltemade, president of Dollar Savings Bank, accused the assemblymen of seeking publicity and making “political hay .” “Let them go to hell,” Waltemade said. “The fees and charges on our “NOW” accounts are still the cheapest in the city.” “I am shocked by the breach of trust by the banks, said Farrell, who learned of the switching practices from an anonymous letter. “When the legislature first approved checking services for savings banks, we were repeatedly assured that such services would be maintained on a non-fee basis. These assurances have been violated by the recent conversion by the saving bank of its free checking accounts into “NOW” accounts for which checking charges are made.” Farrell, chairman of the Assembly Banks Committee, said he is not sure if the bank’s switching actions were illegal, since customers may have signed a contractual agreement with the bank beforehand. However, he felt the bank’s actions were “immoral.” “That is why 1 am joining with Eliot Engel and my other colleagues to co-sponsor a bill which would prohibit such transfers without the consent of the depositors,” Farrell said. Charlie Haynie Tolstoy College founder works to transform politics, economy by Susan Kushner Spectrum Staff Writer "I belong to a movement, a revolutionary movement to transform everyday life, which to transform the will have structures of American economy and politics as we know it. My movement holds up the practice of peace to a social system that places its priority on preparation for war, a movement that is committed to equality of all men and women, fighting a system that is dependent for its survival upon maintaining class divisions and stratifications. .

We knew that we had succeeded because we confronted them with a problem would have to deal with sooner or later. We let them know we wouldn’t let this go on.” Haynie said he expected the students to get violent, “After all, we were there to change something that had always been that way.” Shortly after that incident, Haynie quit Cornell (he was then on his way to a Ph D.) and moved to the South to participate in the Rights Movement Civil and the anti-war eventually movement. During this period, he they give up now. experienced Cornell Haynie attended University where he acquired his bachelors degree in Engineering Physics and also where he first Along with other experiments at the time, the members of one commune decided to raise his daughters collectively.

He and two other friends, one of them black, picketed a powerful fraternity on campus during rush night because communal living. father-daughter the personal relationship. Still Haynie is philosophic about the venture. He believes something is earned or gained from every experience. Tolstoy survives In the fall of 1969, Haynie and a political science professor founded Tolstoy College here at U.B. The college was created with radicalism in mind and during this period of campus unrest, the college thrived. Its expressed purpose was to encourage people to participate in shaping the forces that effect their lives, be they cultural, religious or social Campus activism has all but died and yet, Tolstoy College lives on. “I am sure that people regard us as leftists in a rightist society. They see us as sort of still doing the 60’s new left thing. We don’t think we are still hanging onto the ‘good old days’ of the 60’s. We see ourselves as taking cue from the idea of participating and expanding it to meet present needs and demands.” Haynie has initiated men’s groups within Tolstoy College and directs the courses he teaches towards sex role issues. Large enrollment Haynie doesn’t believe in administering exams or tests. He encourages students to participate in class projects because they want to, not due to force. Another College F policy is to have classes taught by more than tne instructor, thutf preventing students from feeling dominated by one pjrson. Haynie, who considers himself a scholar of the New Left period, specializes in teaching political activism and related topics. He feels well qualified because of his past experience in this field. In relation to the Buffalo area community, Tolstoy fulfills an important role, Haynie says, pointing to the Gay Liberation Front, which struggles for the recognition of gay rights in the campus community. Tolstoy also partially funds several area cooperatives. “Within the university,” Haynie affirms, “Tolstoy is thriving, not striving. Tolstoy has the second largest enrollment in all of the Colleges at the University.” the fastest, cheapest photocopying on campus is at 'The Spectrum' office — 355 Squire Hall, MSC. and the hours!

Buffalo forkballer, Fred Breinig, had little difficulty in pitching the first game of the twinbill, the lanky righthander fanned 14 Redding Phillies in nine innings. The only swinger Breinig failed to send to the dugout on strikes was the batter pictured right, Joe Jones, who lined out. walked and singled in three appearances. The Bisons split the doubleheader, winning 3—0, and than dropping the nightcap 11-t before the crowd of 2132. Buffalo track team set back by Four home games Grid schedule tough top ranked Fredonia harriers 1979 varsity football team at the State University at Buffalo a nine-game schedule, including four games at Rotary Field on Street Campus. Bulls, Won-3, Lost-6 last season, resume series with two old opponents, Westminster College and St. Lawrence University. The will play the Mam The Westminster was NAIA Division II National Champion in 1977, and St. Lawrence was an NCAA Division III playoff participant in 1 978. U/B meets Westminster at New Wilmington, Pa. on October 20, and St. Lawrence at Rotary Field October 27. The Bulls, with Bill Dando starting his third season as head coach, slate at home against Cortland State College on Sept. 8, and also play Waynesburg College, another perennial NAIA power, at Rotary on Sept. 29, and arch-rival Canisius College the following Saturday, Oct. 6, at the Main Street Campus. In addition to Westminster, road games are at John Carroll University, in Cleveland, Ohio, on Sept. 15; Brockport State, Sept. 22; SUNY at Albany, Oct. 13, and Alfred University, Nov. 10, the season finale. The series with Alfred, now coached by former U/B grid star Sam Sanders, is the oldest among current foes. Since 1902 the two schoolds have meet 36 times, Alfred winning 18 games including 20-12 last year to U/B’s 15, and there have been three ties. U/B won the City Championship from Canisius, 16-10, last season, only the third meeting between the two Main Street rivals. The Bulls posted a 12-0 shutout way back in 1920, and Canisius won 22-8 in 1977, when U/B revived the program with a four-game schedule. The contest with Brockport will be the fifth, the first game in 1954. The Golden Eagles won 17-7 in 1977, U/B gaining revenge last season, 35-31, to even the series at 2-2. Cortland, John Carroll, Waynesburg and Albany are also repeat opponents, all added to the U/B card for the first time in 1978. U/B upset Div. Ill playoff hopeful Albany 15-8, and lost to Cortland, 35-14; John Carroll, 17-13, and Waynesburg by 30-13. open the ’79 A one-two finish in the discus highlighted an otherwise listless perform an c&f or the track and field Bulls in a Monday afternoon meet at Fredonia. Fredonia is considered to be the top Division III team in the Northeast United States. With a toss of 1 19 feet and 8 inches, Buffalo’s John Centra captured the discus event by better than five feet over his nearest competitor, UB's Joe Davis. Davis hurled the flat iron 1 14 feet and 6 inches. Despite the weatherman’s promise of sunny skies and warming temperatures, the meet was held under thick gray clouds with the thermometer slicing near the freezing mark. “The meet conditions were poor,” admitted UB coach, Richard Bell, “ever Well, almost everybody. Hurdler Mark Gabryel managed to flex his legs twice for the 120-yard high hurdles and 440-yard intermediate hurdles. Gabryel, who sharpens his leaping talents in the fall by steping over linebackers, sprinted home in first place in the 120 in the swift time of : 15.2 seconds. The versatile sophomore later came back to finish third in the 440 in : 61.9 seconds. In the distance races, the Buffalo mile relay team put a little fear into the stomachs of the Fredonia four, but not enough to shake the Blue Devils off the track. Individually, Gene Schwall gave the Bulls a third spot in the mile by crossing the ribbon in 4 45.7. “I’m very pleased,” stated Bell, whose squad next meets Brockport on Wednesday at Sweet Home High, “We had some great individual performances.” UB’s Fulton second in nation Only a record-shattering performance by Sandi Ties of Erie Community College prevented UB’s Sue Fulton from winning the National Collegiate Individual Bowling Championships, held April 7 to 9 at Tuscon, Arizona. Fufton barely survived the cut imposed on the 24 participants following the singles and doubles matches, placing eighth out of eight finalists. Flowever, she rolled a sparkling 224, 224, and 169 (617 total) in the final set to finish with a total score of 1736, earning her overall second place in the tournament and an alternate spot in the World Cup Championships at Bangkok, Thailand, next fall Fulton would replace Tice, the qualifier, should Tice be unable to attend. Ahead on the schedule for women’s bowling coach Jane Poland’s squad are the National Intercollegiate Team Championships to be held in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, April 25-29.

Kinsley-at that time said the protesters would probably break up and leave the building peacefully Tuesday night. But the protesters did not leave and stayed through the night. Halpert said Hammond then issued an ultimatum at 6 a.m. Wednesday insisting the protesters leave by 8 a.m. That deadline passed unheeded by the might have proved a further embarrassment to the president if the protesters were still in the admissions building. At 5;30 p.m. Wednesday, Hammond issued what he — Representative NYPIRG’s Franki claimed that because the sample was conducted during vacation, not as many students were using the practice rooms and thus disturbing the air. He remarked, “The samplings weren’t representative of actual conditions.” Franki also noted that since the timpani player was only in the practice room for a short period, the effects will be dulled when the air’s stirring is averaged with the longer periods of stillness. termed his “final” demand that students leave the admissions building. By that time phone lines to the building had been cut, a bomb threat had been telephoned in to campus security and a number of the protesters had left the building on their own initiative. By 6:30 p.m. the sit-in had broken up peacefully. Bosco\$aid students arrested Tuesday morning would be arraigned May 4. In the meantime, he said Harrison police would cooperate if there were any investigations. Hammond has agreed to meet with an ad hoc committee of four students and four faculty members to work out their differences. However, Music Department Chairman William Thompson said he was not in a position to judge whether fewer students used the small practice rooms during the Vacation. In fact, commented Thompson, “The use of the practice rooms fluctuates in any given day.” page 8— expert fielded questions from Committee members at the conclusion ofhis hour talk. Russian professor Pierre Hart posed a disturbing question: Is there any evidence that general education really produces a better person than concentration on one 5 Hunt explained that the New Jersey testing firm sampled the air in practice rooms for six hours while also conducting a separate twenty-minute test with the machinery attached to a xylaphone player’s belt. As part of the six-hour impingement, a timpani (kettle drums) musician was asked to come in and play for twenty minutes. Hunt said this was designed to “cause the greatest amount of vibration and dislodging (of asbestos particles) as possible.” Halpert said the protesters’ failure to leave and their faculty support were an embarrassment to the president who was hosting a visiting with a group of state senators that day. The next day, Thursday, Purchase was expecting a visit from 150 prospective freshmen which reduced choice in courses and interference with a major.

Noting the flaking asbestos tiles are “so damned ugly,” Thompson said that one room where the ceiling has been replaced is now both aesthetically and acoustically fine. He told The Spectrum that he has been asked twice if that compromise is satisfactory, thus leading to his belief that the asbestos tiles will be replaced. A short course in Bonded Bourbon.

E 3 Give 'em air Fuel economy squeezes the most from gas dollar by John Petrino Spectrum Staff Whether Writer roaring along in an eight-cylinder, 360 cubic inch high-performance Olds Toronado, in a or just whirring about not-so-high-performance four-cylinder Pinto, rising gasoline costs should be of great concern. Surprisingly enough, in light of today’s astronomical fuel costs, many people still don’t know a lot about the factors affecting fuel economy in everyday driving. The first and most obvious factor that determines what kind of mileage per gallon is the type of tar. Before buying a new or used auto, get a hold of the Government-issued statistics for the mileage ratings of virtually every car on the road. Write to the Printing Office, Government Pueblo, Colorado, 81009, and ask for a copy of “The 1979 Gas Mileage Guide”. It’s free. Or drop in any American Automobile Association office and grab a copy. This guide lists the ratings for new automobiles, along with information on how to alter the according to the numbers condition of each particular car. Keep it warm A second big factor affecting fuel economy is the condition those “wheels” are kept in. Another handy guide which can be secured cheaply for free will be a big help. Write to the Public Information Center (PM-125), U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Washington, D.C. 20460, to request a copy of “Factors Affecting Fuel Economy”. The guide is quite detailed, but there are two major points to be made. First maintain your vehicle according to the manufacturer’s specifications. On the average, a tuned-up vehicle gets three to nine per cent better fuel economy than one that has not been properly maintained. Secondly, the guide warns to keep the tires properly inflated. Underinflated tires can cause a fuel economy loss. Need more? The American Petroleum Institute says that properly inflated tires alone can net the individual a savings of fifty FIFTY of gasoline a year! gallons Multiply the cost of a gallon of gas by fifty not bad! Not bad at all for the little bit of effort it takes to check your tire pressure every now and then. — - ... One more factor over which drivers have total control is driving habits. Do you give your engine enough time to warm-up? An engine that is already warm (such as one that was used in the last four hours) requires less fuel to reach its most efficient operating condition than a “cold” engine one that’s just spent the night in the driveway. The cold engine should be given some time, even if only a few minutes, to warm-up before dashing off to battle traffic. — Rev it up Trip length also effects fuel economy. Shorter trips (under five miles) do not allow the engine to reach its best operating condition, while longer trips allow optimal the performing and temperature engine conditions to be reached. This does' not mean that fuel can be saved by increasing, the length of shorter tjips. (In other words, don’t drive from the Amherst Campus to the Main Street. Campus by way of the Youngmancombine Highway.) Instead, numerous shorter trips into one longer one. Yes, this alone creates a measurable savings costs. on gasoline Smooth, even driving improves fuel economy performance. There are those who come to a screaching halt at every red light, then at the green signal, slap’er to the floor and leave the car behind breathing rubber. They’re burning their money quicker than their tires. Avoid quick accelerations. the lights at Try to time intersections and slow down On the highway, gradually. staying under the 55 mile per hour (mph) limit means even greater fuel savings. Other conditions affecting fuel economy cannot be controlled. Summer temperatures are better for gas mileage than winter’s. At 20 degrees fahrenheit, autos only operate at about 92 per cent fuel-burning efficiency. Even a mild wind ean increase or decrease fuel economy. For example, a car that nets twenty will normally miles-per-gallon realize, with an 18 mph tailwind, about 12 per' cent gain in fuel economy. With an 18 mph crosswind about 1 per cent is lost in fuel economy and about 10 per cent is wasted in an 18 mph headwind. and road Precipitation conditions are factors also. When driving uphill on gravel, an auto operates at only 70 per cent efficiency. That’s one case where it might be wise to plan an alternate route. So drive reasonably in a sane fashion, check the tires, keep the engine tuned to a kitten’s purr, I*.*^V»»•»*-' and use some common sense. Saving just 10 per cent on gas means, one time in ten, being able to fly right by that gas station, and a little extra money pushing at the insides of your wallet. �■o Carfreaks gearfor preventative maintenance Motor oil Then there's that Preventive Maintenance always starts with an oil change, but it's getting harder and harder to decide which oil is best lor your car After decades of petroleum based, conventional oils that were all pretty much alike, synthetic oils and tween the piston rings and cylinder walls This boundary area is subjected to in tense pressure, yet the rings and wall can never actually be allowed to touch What makes the system work is a 001-inch film of oil which separates the two sur faces.

Any oil is more than just something slippery to put between the hot working surfaces of your engine. Not only does the inherent slipperiness of oil lubricate your engine, but the constant flow of oil away from hot engine parts to the cooler sump transfers heat Only about 60 percent of engine cooling is actually accomplished by the “coolant" system About 10 percent of engine heat is dispersed through radiation, and the remaining 30 percent is handled by the oil system. promoted give longer mileage onsumer all-important seal be ucts. from water to acids, from unburned hydrocarbons to sticky resins. Not all of these emissions go out the exhaust pipe. Instead they make their way into the crankcase, from which they're dispersed throughout the engine by the oil pump The formation of these deposits is un avoidable, though unleaded fuels do rninimize them. B trali/ed. The solution is to use a deter gent additive in the oil itself which will chemically hold the contaminants in suspension, allowing them to continuously recycle through the oil system without damage And that brings up the primary reason for an oil change. That black, gooey mess on the dipstick isn’t there because the oil is "worn out"; the oil is still as slip- ever. But the lubricating effect of the oil is beingseriously compromised because of the mass of suspended con taminants cycling around throughout the engine When you change the oil you're flushing out these half-baked contaminants. In addition, those contaminants also break down the additives in the oil. Modern oil is far more than a simple petroleum distillate. In fact, nearly a quarter of a typical oil can is made up of various additives There arc detergents to suspend and disperse the contain! nants, a viscosity improver which keeps the oil thick at high temperatures and a pour-point depressant which keeps the ail thin at low temperatures. There's * u > c Oil may he slippery, but it also creates its own drag because of the inherent friction between the molecules within the pery as ill itself. This mechanical shear between molecules is what causes oils to be viscous, and the viscosity of any specific oil is directly related not only to this shear effect, but to the temperature. Obviously, the more viscous the oil the thicker it is the more drag it exerts within the engine. Which brings up the new super Jippery and low-viscosity oils. Since viscosity is temperature dependent, any oil will be thinner at high temperatures. With conventional oils, it's necessary to have the oils he thick at ambient temperatures so they won t be overly thin at the 250 11 res proves the film strength of the oil to re duce friction losses.

However, it is possible to make relatively certain that your new used car will not be a liability from the start. Before you begin looking for a car, consider your needs. You should think in terms of how you intend to use the car, how long you intend to keep it and how much you can afford. sport or luxury Generally, their value far coupes retain longer than conventional four door sedans. Thus, you will be paying for that “sporty” image. Try to avoid cars which often come equipped with power options such as electric seats and windows they are — infamous troublemakers. Avoid oversize engines. Most cars operate well enough with their standard engine. When you have a choice, select the car that offers a six cylinder engine instead of an eight, and a four over a six. Smaller engines not only use less gas and oil, they are also cheaper to repair. Although standard transmissions deliver better gas mileage, they are more expensive to maintain than automatics. The cost of frequent clutch adjustments and lining replacements far exceeds the gas mileage benefits given manual transmissions. by Customized or power cars have usually been mistreated, and should be left to those vjho appreciate ■'them'. Steer away from makes and models that are no longer produced. Each Reports April, Consumer magazine publishes a list of models that are considered good buys. You may wish to consult Consumer Reports' frequency repair charts for the models you may be interested in. This will give you an idea of the experiences others have had with their cars. Of course, the frequency of repair charts cannot be directly applied to the cars you are looking at. They are intended to be used as guidelines. Reference issues of Consumer Reports are available in the Consumer Services office, M.U., Room After you have decided on a specific make or model of car, start looking at cars offered for sale by dealers. Possibly the trickiest part of buying a car involves dealing with dealers. The Federal Trade Commission states that a “substantial number of used motor offered for vehicles . . are sale . . . with mechanical defects which affect the performance of the vehicles. Potential purchasers are not in a position to determine the condition (of a car) and dealers, who used know or should know of the defects, do not inform the prospective buyer.” Therefore, it you is imperative that thoroughly examine any car you may be considering, and you should be as discriminating with the dealer as you are with the car. Dealers that also sell new cars retain the best of the cars receive as trade-ins. It is for this reason that a new car dealer’s prices are often higher than a dealer who sells strictly used cars. The new car dealer may have serviced the car when it was new, and therefore, may they 208J.

Generally, the longer a dealer particular has been a in location, the more reliable he may be presumed to be. If you are doing business with a new or used car dealer, and you are not certain of the firm’s reputation, ask your salesman to give you the names of people who have bought cars there recently. A respectable dealer will cooperate. When you contact the dealer’s customers, ask how they were treated after the sale, if the service was adequate, and if the car was as reliable as it was represented to be. If you wish, you may check the dealer’s standing with the Better Business Bureau. Above all, take your time. Never buy the first or second car you see, and always comparison shop. Private owners may sell you a car for less money than you might pay through a dealer, and you could be buying from the original owner. Complete service records should be supplied by the seller if he is the original owner. Be very skeptical about the car if the service records are not supplied, for if the owner has not taken the care to save his receipts, it is likely that he has not taken proper care of his car. With a private owner, there will be no guarantee, and you will have to do your own legal paperwork.

Headlights can slip out of alignment, especially when your car has been through potholes. Have them checked because it can driving. 1. Towards the end of April, fill up your car a few times with premium gasoline. Oil companies different blends of gas for warm and cold weather for the have best “burnability.” If you run cold weather gas during warm weather or vice versa, you might experience poor idling, knocking and “dieseling” or run on after you’ve turned off the ignition. The premium gas will help protect the car during those all too frequent cold days in late April and early May and also help clean out the carbon and recoat the metal inside the engine cylinders. 2. Check your ignition for corrosion and rust. Many cars now have electronic ignition but even that isn’t foolproof in damp weather and April showers. A mechanic will be able to tell if the roter and weights inside the distributor are in good shape and are not corroding. Even if your car starts right up every time, check it anyway because it’s a that can crop up problem suddenly and leave you stranded. 3. Toyotas, Datsuns and some Volkswagens have two settings on their air filters: summer and winter. You can adjust it yourself when the weather finally turns warm; it’ll help you get better mileage. 4.

Getting an automobile repaired properly is the most difficult and expensive problem facing consumers today. Senator Wendall H. Ford, Chairman of the Senate Commerce Subcommittee that deals with consumer complaints, to have their Repairs 4. guaranteed, but terms must be invoice cars properly serviced, and Act Determine how effective has been in the promoting fair and reasonable price The Motor Vehicle Repair Shop concern Repair Shop Registration Act, any consumer who is not satisfied with the service work provided by a repair shop may file a complaint with the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV). The Act requires that all motor vehicle repair shops must be registered with the DMV. This does not in any way imply state approval of the quality of work performed at that shop. Registration applications are automatically accepted, without relying mechanics” have had their cars repaired 25 to 30 times without resolution of the problem. Almost without exception, auto repair problems rank as the number one area of consumer complaints throughout the country. What factors have led to the development of this disturbing state of affairs? One major factor is that most car owners have neither the time nor the training to understand how their cars work. They are forced to depend upon other “experts” to diagnose and solve their car problems. A second factor is a lack of uniformity in qualifications for the “experts” upon whom people must rely when automobile problems arise. New York State requires no licensing or other minimum training requirements for auto mechanics. Thirdly, local re a shortage of qualified mechanics. Most mechanically adept individuals, trained at colleges or vocational schools, prefer to pass up the long hours and low pay of repair shop work. No mechanic is completely ignorant about the workings of a car, but the fact remains that anyone can open a repair shop, get registered by the state, and work on cars without once being questioned about his/her competence. A fourth problem involves the shop owner’s conflict of interest. A repair shop makes money completing repairs, and generally, the profit increases as the cost of repair rises. In addition, the quicker a job is completed, the more cars the repair shop can handle and the more potential there is for profits. These two considerations conflict directly with the consumer’s reliance upon these “expert” mechanics for high quality, low cost repairs. It is clear that repair shops may not find it in their best interest to keep the cost of repairs to a minimum. In fact, this has encouraged the more profitable practice of replacing parts one by one until the problem is solved, with all parts being charged to the consumer. In 1974, the New York State Legislature dealt with this growing consumer concern by passing the Motor Vehicle Repair Shop Registration Act (Article 12-A of the Vehicle and Traffic Law, 398-398H), hereinafter section 5. A shop is obligated to provide quality repairs by persons having knowledge and expertise to b ring au to its to pre-malfunctiomng condition 6. A shop may not grossly ivercharge, nor may it permit a Facilities inspector (AFI) to investigate both sides of the complaint in a second endeavor to facilitate the settlement. The AFI has the discretion to initiate a if he/she deems it hearing necessary. This action could result in settlement, issuance of a warning letter, suspension of the registration, revocation of the or assessment of a registration, Registration Act Under the Motor Vehicle any tests to determine the competency of either the individual mechanics or the quality of the repair shops. In addition, slandards with which all # registered shops must repair comply are set forth in the DMV regulations. Under these rules, a repair shop must: 1. Give a written estimate of all parts and labor necessary for a repair, if requested by the consumer. This written estimate a. Consumer and repair name shop b. Date of estimate c. A list of all parts for each repair and their costs (if not a new part, each item must indicate if it is used or rebuilt) d. Labor charge for each repair e. A statement informing the consumer of his/her right to receive the replaced parts upon written demand. f. Vehicle’s description In addition, no charge may be made for 1; bor performed or parts supplied, in excess of the estimate, without the consent of the consumer. 2. The shop may not make repairs without customer consent in the form of a work order, either oral or written. A written work order shall be attached to the invoice. If oral authorization is given, it should be noted on the invoice, including date, time, manner, and by whom such authorization was made. 3. written Upon timely request, the shop must return replaced parts to the customer, except for those parts sold on an exchange basis or parts subject to a manufacturer’s guarantee. Gross negligence, including poor workmanship or faulty diagnosis is also unlawful. A shop may drive the car only to the extent necessary for repairs or road testing, unless by otherwise the instructed owner 8. The shop's method of charging for labor, by fiat rates repair and/or clock hours, shall be posted next to the official indoor repair shop sign, at least 8M: X 14 inches in size, though the actual hourly charge need not be shown sign The summarizes the requirements under the Act and gives the number and address of the local DMV office where the complaint forms can be obtained. Filing a complaint with the DMV Any complaint to the DMV must be filed within 90 days or 3000 miles after the repairs are completed, whichever comes first. The DMV Commissioner is the sole enforcer of the Act. He/she may assist in settlements of disputes, but has no statutory power to force the shop in no statutory power to force the authority to enforce the Act’s provisions. The Commissioner is empowered to revoke or suspend an auto repair shop’s registration for poor workmanship or faulty diagnosis of a needed repair. In shop the addition, may be subjected to a civil liability of up to S350 for willful failure to comply with any provisions of the Act. Any complaint filed with the DMV should include all pertinent documents (a written estimate, invoice, or work order). An initial screening of the complaint is performed by the Consumer Services Department of the DMV central office in Albany. If action is deemed necessary, they will contact shop the and the consumer and attempt to resolve the dispute. However, the DMV has no power to force a refund to the consumer. It is limited to applying pressure on the shop to make ait honest effort to resolve the dispute. If there is no satisfactory settlement after this initial contact, the Albany central office sends the complaint to its regional office. The regional director then sends out an Auto Additional consumer remedies Several alternatives are available to consumers frustrated with the DMV's lack of authority to resolve their problems. One procedure is to seek restitution in local small claims court. These courts provide for low cost and generally speedy resolution of disputes. It is not necessary to lawyers. legislative hire The mandate that small claims courts ensure substantial justice, allows the court to operate in a relaxed atmosphere, without adherence to strict rules of evidence. Any monetary claim for $1000 or less may brought be here for settlemen t. A second consumer alternative is the Better Business Bureau. It will provide arbitration for the quick settlement of the dispute, upon mutual agreement by the consumer and the repair shop. A third alternative in Western New York is a consumer complaint program developed by the United Gasoline Retailers of Western New York, a 225 member owners. This Togram attempts to fi ;d an amicable solution between a repair shop and its aggrieved customer. If this effort does not succeed, the program will report the complaint to the state for addition action organization provides a voluntary certification program to test the competency of area auto mechanics. Conculsion This study reveals that, for even a minor, simple, obvious repair, the quality of work performed and the charge for that work can be expected to vary widely from repair shop to repair shop in the area. While a majority of the mechanics were able to correctly diagnose the two problems in a short time, a disturbing II out of 32 (34 percent) incorrectly diagnosed one of the two. In addition, three diagnoses of the were accompanied by estimates that were excessive. Two were correct remaining repair diagnoses; the shops recommended additional unnecessary repairs for $32.95. Thus, 14 of 32 (44 percent) of the repair shops did not provide NYP1RG with an estimate for repairs at a fair and Clearly, the Motor Vehicle Shop Registration Act has not been completely succesful in promoting proper and efficient repairs at a fair and reasonable price. Equally apparent is the fact consumers that cannot confidently rely upon mechanics to obtain high quality, low cost The Act sets out certain rights that the consumer must rely upon. However, much can be done to improve the quality of repair service to New York State's automobile users. Recommendations system should be 1. A by legislation established, if necessary to have the Commissioner of Motor Vehicles set mandatory competency standards for certified mechanics. These standards would ensure higher quality repairs on a more uniform basis for all auto consumers 2. The Department of Motor Vehicles should publish in local newspapers a monthly list of the auto repair shops that have received warning letters, had their registrations suspended or revoked, or been assessed a fine as a result of a violation of the Repair Shop Motor Vehicle Registration Act. This information would facilitate the consumer's choice of repair shop, and serve as unscrupulous a deterrent to business practices. offices of the Association of addition to the Department of Motor Vehicles, should establish automotive diagnostic clinics to examine consumers’ cars and specify what repairs are needed (actual repair work will still be done at service stations). After repairs have been completed, the clinic could recheck them to make sure they have been correctly completed. 4. The Motor Vehicle Repair Shop Registration Act (Article 12-A of the Vehicle and Traffic Law) must be amended to allow the Department of Motor Vehicles to award restitution directly to the person who was injured. 5. The Department of Motor Vehicles should have its Auto Facilities Inspectors spot check repair shops. The possibility of having a customer turn out to be a DMV employee would act as a strong deterrent to fraudulent 3 Local Automobile America, in repair practices.

In other words, it’s naturally slipperier as it comes out of the ground. A second method is to add something even slipperier than oil to the mixture. Non-oilsoluble graphite particles smaller than four-tenths of a micron can be added to conventional oil, turning it jet black and considerably slipperier. Oil-soluble friction modifiers-usually sulfurized oleates -can also be added to conventional oil to reap the same rewards. Finally, there are the so-called “synthetic” oils. Synthetic oils aren’t really man-made, not in the sense that they’re created from scratch. Synthetics are created from organic esters or synthesized hydrocarbons that are still derived from crude oil. But ‘because synthetic oils resist oxidation at high temperatures better than conventional oils, the synthetics can be less viscous to begin with. This accounts for not only improved fuel economy with lowviscosity synthetics, but claims of less engine wear and longer intervals between oil changes. These thinner oils aren’t recommended engines during the breakin period or for high-mileage engines which need the higher viscosity of conventional oils. And despite the advertising claims, no automobile manufacturer will honor new car warranties when the oil change interval is longer than the manufacturer’srecommendatioa In other words, it’s still a bit early to switch to these new, more expensive oils. As automakers rush to meet the 27.5 mpgCAFE requirements for 1985, however, you can bet that low-viscosity oils, probably made from a blend of conventional and synthetic base stocks, will become standard equipment on new cars. A fuel economy improvement of 5 percent represents a for brand-new major engineering breakthrough, equivalent to a complete mechanical redesign. To get that kind of improvement simply by pouring in a different can of oil will seem like magic in Detroit. Reading the oil can The top of the average oil can is covered with an alphabet soup of letters and numbers, and to make sure the proper oil crankcase, you’ve got to bfeak this code. Around the rim you’ll see a row of two-letter abbreviations. These are the API Engine Service Classifications, and they range from SA through goes into the SE for spark ignition engines (gasoline) and CA through CD for compression ignition engines (diesels). What makes things confusing is that the highest grade of automotive oil-SE-also meets all the requirements for SA-SD as well, so the manufacturers sometimes put all five on the can. Here’s what they SA; This is oil, but that’s about all you can say for it. Good enough for spraying on your lawnmower blades to keep them from rusting, but definitely not good enough for your mower’s engine. SA oil is not suitable for any modern car. SB: This was the first oil produced with additives, and was introduced in the thirties. It has minimal additives to prevent corrosion in the bearings, scuffing of the bores and oil oxidation. It can be used only for cars built prior to 1960, and even those engines would be happier with a higher grade of goods. codes mean: SC: SC oil was introduced in 1964 because the V-8 engines of the late fifties and early sixties needed more protection -continued from page 3 ... than that offered by SB oil. SC is gener ally considered the first "modern” oil since it contains additives for control of deposits at extreme temperatures plus anti-rust, anti-corrosion and anti-wear additives. It can be used with confidence for cars built through 1967, SD; I his was the oil companies’ answer to the Musclecar era, when SC oil proved inadequate.

It’s only for cars through 1970. SE: The only oil you’d really want to use in a car you like is SE, no matter when it was built. SE has a potpourri of additives that the lower grades of oil don’t include, especially those which guard against the high-temperature deposits to which emissions-controlled cars are especially prone. SE oil also meets a variety of API tests, including the IIIC Classification test, which involves 40 hours of continuous running in a high-compression-ratio 425 cubic inch Olds V-8, after which the viscosity of the oil can’t have increased more than 400 percent, measured at 100 degrees F. HD: HD stands for “High Detergency,” not Heavy Duty, and means this oil has an extra dollop of additives to disperse and hold contaminants in suspension. SAE Viscosity Grades: The Society of Automotive Engineers has a diabolically complex formula for measuring oil viscosity at 0 degrees F and 210 degrees F, which requires two different sets of test equipment and procedures. Oils graded 5W, I0W and 20W are measured at 0 degrees F, grades 30, 40 and 50 are measured at 210 degrees F. Multi-viscosity oils act like a 10W oil at 0 degrees F, for example, but like a 50 oil at 210 degrees F. A I0W-50 will allow your engine to turn over even on —10 degree F winter mornings, but be safe for sustained highspeed driving in midsummer. The Ideal Oil; There’s no such thing as a perfect oil, but the best all-round oil you can currently buy is an SE HD 10W-20W50, which will more than exceed any manufacturer’s recommendations at any season in ninety percent of the United States. There are places where you might have to go to a 5W-20 in the middle of winter in order to get your engine to respond to the starter, but only in the far north. Oil Change Intervals: A number of oil companies advertise 15,000, 25,000 or even 50,000 miles between oil changes. Don't believe them. Not only will thisbe taking a chance on yet unproven claims, but it will invalidate your manufacturer’s warranty. 7,500 miles between changes is about the longest that you can reasonably expect an oil to last. Under severe off-road trailer-towing or high-speed conditions, it should be changed twice as often. You should also change the oilfiller every time you change the oil. Think about it. The filter contains a full quart of contaminated oil, and these contamimants will pollute the fresh oil. It’s false economy to change the oil and not the adequate filter. Corrosion protection One of the great battles of this century is being fought between highway road crews who insist on using salt instead of sand on icy roads and automakers whose cars are melting away after only a couple of winters. The manufacturers are using more and more zincrometal, PVC coatings, plastic fender inner liners and rustproofing sprays to preserve your new car, but even that’s not enough these days. In order to completely protect your car during the winter months, you need additional corrosion protection. The idea is to literally wrap your car in a protective skin so that oxidation simply can’t start. To do this, of course, mean& treating not only the paint, but the chassis, the interior and evert the rubber parts. There are a couple of effective ways to protect your car’s paint from road salts, rust, simple oxidation and other chemical corrosion. The best goes under the brand name of Polyglycoat. Polygly- three years. Polyglycoat never needs waxing or retouching, though it can be treated with a maintenance kit that consists of an abrasive cleaner to remove the top layer of dead paint and detergent film. There are also do-it-yourself finish sealants on the market which are claimed to last for three years. Most of these products require cleaning with a special soap and periodic coating with a wax-like top layer, howeyer, which makes them less convenient to use than even a good wax. And waxes have grown up in the last few years. From a natural mixture of hard carnuba wax, soft beeswax and various oils, wax has turned into a highly sophisticated synthetic product carefully formulated to be even harder than carnuba wax and chemically inert. The secret ingredient in most modern waxes is silicone, which gives a simple-to-apply liquid wax the durability to protect your finish for six months. Silicone is chemically inert, but it will penetrate your paint and chrome, effectively sealing it off from oxidation and corrosion. Surprisingly enough, there are no surprises when it comes to wax. The ingredients in all synthetic waxes are produced by only a couple of large chemical companies, so any modern wax is basically the same. Each manufacterer has his own secret “blend,” however, just like scotch whiskey makers. It’s the quality of this blend you’re paying for, but any wax which contains silicone will give you a long-lasting shine. Despite the emphasis on car waxes and finish sealants, your car really rusts from the inside out. Your primary line of defense against chassis corrosion is still undercoating , . . that black, asphalt-based glop that’s been around since the twen- ties. Undercoating isn’t sophisticatedit simply covers up anything that could rust with a thick, air-tight layer-but it works. Modern undercoating never completely dries, it always remains soft to be self-healing. There’s only one problem with undercoating: it can’t be vised except in easy-to-reach spots. The answer here is rustproofing sprayed under the chassis, inside the doors, inside the rocker panels panels and under the fenders where conventional undercoating can’t reach. Some There’s even a silicone brake fluid available that helps preserve rubber brake lines and can’t damage your car’s finish. In the battle to protect your car from corrosion, undercoating, rustproofing and Polyglycoat are the big guns, but the various silicone products-from wax to brake fluid-are the foot soldiers who will finish the job of protecting your car. Filters Oil Filter Most oil filters have a coarse screen to catch large bits of metal broken or worn off upstream, then two pleated paper filters of graduated capacity. Modern paper oil filters will filter down to particles as small as a half a micron. Indeed, one of the problems in developing a graphite additive for motor oil was that the oil filter kept removing the additive. The f®8 .0 particle size had to be chemically reduced to .4 micron before the additive would stay in suspension. Obviously, since one of motor oil’s primary functions is to clean engine surfaces contaminated by combustion emissions, the oil filter must fill up with contaminants. Indeed, it’s designed to fill up with contaminants, then be replaced. This should be done at every oil change. There’s no point in pouring four quarts of clean oil after purchase, into the sump, but leaving another quart of contaminants in the oil filter. Within five miles, those old contaminants will be spread throughout the fresh oil. If your oil filter becomes so clogged that it won’t pass oil at all, every engine has a bypass valve to keep oil circulating, on the theory that dirty oil is better than none. That’s another good reason to change the oil filter regularly, just so that bypass valve never opens. The oil filter will clog up more quickly in dusty conditions, during the winter when more combustion contaminants are produced trom a cold engine or after heavy engine use, like trailer towing. Change both the oil and oil filter It’s chemically inert, so it can’t harm any part of your car, yet it clings tenaciously to almost any substance and protects it —continued on page 16— automobile manufacturers treat their cars with this rust-inhibiting, self-healing soft wax right off the assembly line, but most cars need a supplementary application inside those nooks and crannies where corrosion begins. Rustproofing is normally guaranteed for five years when it’s applied to a new car right and there are simply no drawbacks to having your car treated. It’s probably the best S15Q investment you can make when it comes to preventive maintenance. Silicone has revolutionized car care. twice as often after hard, demanding use.

These losses include damage to your car from fire, theft, glass breakage, flood and windstorm, vandalism or malicious mischief. Many insurance companies offer a comprehensive policy that covers you for articles and equipment stolen from your car. You must report the theft to the Police Department and have them write a before the report insurance company will honor your claim. Collision insurance This insurance pays without regard to fault for damage to your car caused by a collision with another car or with any object, or by the overturning of your car. Buy physical coverage? factors should Key you consider in deciding whether to buy comprehensive and/or collision insurance include the age AUTO-CYCLE INSURANCE INSTANT FS Only 20% Down damage insurance. Some decide to purchase comprehensive insurance without collision insurance because they feel that the age and/or the condition of their car does not warrant buying collision coverage. Insurance companies and auto dealers consult a used car manual (often called a “blue book”) which lists “book values” for cars according to model and year. The older a car is, the lower its book value. Many auto dealers will tell you the book value of your car Insurance upon request. companies will not cover you for damages amounting to more than your car’s book value, so do not make the mistake of over-insuring consumers your car. New laws Physical damage coverage rates have been increasing over the past few years. The msuor reasons are rising the cost of repairing automobiles and the growing number of claims (sometimes fraudulent) from stolen cars. In 1977 and 1978, the New York State Legislature, in an effort to rising these costs, offset overhauled the comprehensive and collision insurance regulations.

You may also purchase window glass coverage separately, without a deductible. Your decision to purchase a policy with a deductible which is higher or lower than the standard deductible should be influenced by factors such as your ability to sustain damage expenses of a particular size, the value of your car, and where your car is usually The major change brought about in physical damage coverage through the new law consists of a new inspection requirement which affects various areas of the state in different ways.

New » 1 < A wide range of optional auto insurance coverage is offered to by car owners insurance companies in New York State. Among these, the two policies which car owners most frequently choose to are purchase comprehensive insurance and collision insurance. These two types of auto insurance are often termed “physical damage” coverage, because they cover you for the cost of physical damage to your car. If you have a late-model car, it may be advisable to consider purchasing comprehensive and collision insurance. If your car’s purchase has been financed by a lending institution, the lender generally will require that you and purchase comprehensive collision insurance to protect the lender’s interest in your car. �Unravelling I he highs & You move a short distance from the suburbs to a city neighborhood and your auto premium jumps couple of hundred dollars. insurance a Your teenage son goes on your the premium almost doubles, even though you know he drives as carefully as most of the adults you encounter on the roads. You have one minor accident policy the and f cut-offs —* in of auto premiums What classifies a bad driver? lows auto Unclear and insurance company charges you 40% more when you renew. Such situations have perplexed and angered drivers for many years. What’s new is that their resentment is building pressure in state capitals for a basic change in insurance company practices. C State governments have long regulated the overall level of premium rates. Now state officials are seriously questioning the methods for determining how much individual groups of drivers why, for example, are charged men young pay more for insurance than young women. The insurance companies contend that their premium differentials accurately reflect differences in loss potential. Groups with a higher probability of producing insurance claims pay more; those lower on the risk scale pay less. Critics say the differentials are always not statistically sound or socially desirable. - Fixing your rate The amount you pay for auto insurance is the product of a complex process that begins when you first apply for a policy. At that point you are screened by a company underwriter who decides whether the company wants to insure you, and if so, in what general category to fit you. Aetna Life & Casualty Co., for example, separates drivers into three underwriting categories: preferred, standard and nonstandard. Its rates for preferred applicants generally run 15% under standard rates. Nonstandard policyholders are surcharged 35%, 50%, or 75%, depending on the number of traffic violations and accidents. If you’re considered a high-risk driver, you might be rejected and eventually forced into a state assigned-risk plan that requires a regular insurance company to give you protection, albeit at a price that may be 50% more than other drivers are charged. Alternatively, one of the regular companies might shunt you into a subsidiary company that specializes in high-risk drivers. Those “substandard” insurers, as they are known in the business, also charge higher premiums. Once you are accepted for insurance, whatever the plan or premium level, the company then has to determine’ precisely how much you will pay relative to other policyholders for the same amount and type of insurance. To see how that’s done, you have to back a bit the in up premium-making process. Each company periodically computes the premium income it needs in each state in which it operates to pay for claims and expenses and leave a margin for and contingencies. The total state premium is then allocated among the various territories into which the state is divided for rating purposes. The profits average; their counterparts in big cities (over 1,000,000) pay an average of 96% more. Small-city suburbanites than the suburbanites are charged 1 1% less big-city charged 16% average, are more. The company establishes in each territory a set of base premiums for the individual coverages that make up auto insurance bodily injury liability, - comprehensive (fire, vandalism), medical theft’ payments and so on. Those base rates customarily pertain to a particular stereotype ; an adult male with a standard car used only for pleasure. Hveryone else pays more or less, depending on the company’s evaluation of his or her relative risk potential. In effect, you are assigned to a group defined according to characteristics that are believed to predict the group’s chances of insurance creating Although losses. classification plans differ, the companies employ for the most part these basic criteria; age, sex, marital status, accidents and traffic violations, whether the young drivers have taken a driver education course, whether they are entitled to a good-student discount, the number of cars, the models, use of the cars (pleasure, commuting, business, farm) and the mileage. Each characteristic is calibrated with a numerical weight, called a relativity factor, based on its influence in increasing or reducing the probability of loss. All the factors that apply to you are combined to fix your position on the company’s premium scale. A 100 ranking indicates that you pay 100% of the base premium. With a 90 ranking you pay 90% of the base which means you are getting a 10% discount. If you’re pegged at 225, you are charged 225% of the base. Many companies follow a plan the developed by Insurance Services Office that applies the same relativity factors to all parts bodily injury of the auto policy liability, damage property — - liability, etc. Allstate Insurance Co. employs separate relativity factors for different parts of the policy. For bodily injury and property damage liability the Allstate factors range from 100 for an adult male who drives less than a prescribed amount to 345 for an unmarried man under 21 who is the principal operator of the car. The spread is even greater for collision from 100 to 435. Those figures do not include surcharges for accidents and certain types of cars. Despite a few attempts at simplification, risk classification systems have tended to become more complex over the years. Michigan’s insurance bureau once estimated that the possible combinations of rating factors in some plans exceeded the number of people insured. - The criticisms The being insurance companies are faulted, however, not for their lack of simplicity but for these other aspects of the present system. Rate spreads are too wide. The fine risk increasingly classifications have widened the spread among rates for different people for. the same kind and amount of insurance. Here, for boundaries are supposed to demarcate areas with significantly different loss records.

Let the bad drivers pay the high rates. Reward the good drivers with low premiums. premiums instance, reports that a typical has a property damage liability claim once in 18 years and a personal injury liability claim once every 5 5 Even if bad drivers are defined only as those with accident rales Insurance companies surcharge drivers’ premiums, often by hefty amounts, for certain types of accidents and violations. But insurers maintain that those two factors by themselves are unreliable loss individual predictors. Whether you have an accident during any given year seems to rest heavily on chance. Moreover, short-term accident records can be five times the average, accident records alone wouldn’t be sufficiently accurate, State Farm says. Nearly half of those bad drivers would be accident-free during a three-year period, but 15% of the good drivers would be grouped with the bad ones for those three years, the period used in commonly present merit-rating systems. To make accident rating work, it’s believed, the judgment period would have to be stretched out to ten years and new drivers would have to be charged the top rates at the start. Classifying drivers by traffic violations entails similar difficulties. California driving statistics show that only 12% of the motorists who were convicted of a traffic violation during a six-year period had an accident during the subsequent three years. Raising premiums for those with one conviction would penalize the 88% who will not have an accident for the next three years. problem, Another the insurance companies contend, is the inconsistency with which local authorities enforce traffic laws and violations and report accidents to state motor vehicle bureaus.

Paper filters are meant to be used “dry” . the paper is the actualTuter, . ing medium. The second common type of air filter is made of high-density plastic foam, and is intended to be used “wet.” The porous foam filters out big particles, but microscopic cleaning is done by oil which coats the sponge-like filter and past which the air must flow. Foam-type filters are almost impossible to clog, and they can be rinsed out, reoiled and reused indefinitely. A variant on these filters uses a fine-mesh cloth to hold the oil, and like the foam filters can be rinsed and reused. Gasoline Filter Made of pleated paper like an oil filter, they’re mounted either integral with the carburetor body or spliced into the gas line. Splice an in-line filter ahead of the carburetor filter in Ford and GM cars for more protection and ease of service. Six-step tune-up Step One; Hold your palm near the exhaust pipe outlet with the engine idling. You’ll be able to feel the individual power pulses from the cylinders, each of which should be hot and regular. A cold, uneven beat, visible smoke or sputtering sound indicates that you have problems with at least one cylinder. A dark carbon deposit inside the pipe means the carburetor is too rich . pre-emissions engines should have a tan deposit, lean-running emissions-controlled deposits should be almost white. Step Two: Remove and compare the sparkplugs. They should all have an identical color around the electrode base . . , cocoa brown on older engines, light tan . . leaner, emissions-controlled engines. Sooty black means too rich a carburetor setting, gasoline-soaked means a bad plug or ignition wire, oily black means bad rings or valve guides and demands a on compression check. If everything is okay, run in a new set of sparkplugs, each gapped to .035 inch, and reconnect the plug leads. Step Three: On cars with electronic ignition systems, skip ahead to Step Five. On conventional systems, remove the distributor cap. If the electrodes are worn, replace the cap. The same goes for the rotor if the contact is worn, replace the rotor. Likewise the primary lead (an item often overlooked). Replace the condenser and either clean or replace the points, depending on how they’re worn, whether they can be filed. Step Four; Set the points gap and dwell. On some systems, these are adjusted independently; on some, dwell (the time ... period the points are closed) is adjusted simply by setting the points closer together so they’ll remain closed longer. To set the points you’ll need a feeler gauge or tach/dwell meter. Use the recommended specs from the owner’s manual. When everything is set, reinstall the rotor and distributor cap. Step Five: Use a timing light connected to Number One sparkplug to set the timing. Disconnect the distributor vacuum advance and plug the hose with a golf tee. Set the timing as specified in the owner’s manual, then reconnect the vacuum advance and rev the engine. Using the timing light, you’ll be able to see the timing mark advance on the crankshaft pulley. This gives a quick check of the vacuum advance system. Step Six: Replace the gas line filter. Then remove the air cleaner and make sure the engine is warm enough to have the choke fully open. Use the carburetor idle screw to set the idle speed to manufacturer’srecommendations. The tach/dwell meter will help you here. Then adjust the mixture screws by turning in until the idle roughens, then out until the idle is smooth. Fit a new filter into the air cleaner housing and reinstall. With the engine warm, now’s a good time to change the oil and oil filter to complete the job. Checklist Change engine oil every 7,500 miles or twice a year, whichever comes first. Be sure to change the filter at the same time. Change air filter at least once a year ... a dirty filter can cut gas mileage by up to 50 percent. Carburetor cleaner mixed with the gasoline every six monu.s is enough to keep * * * the fuel system free of gummy deposits. After using cleaner, replace the gas filter. Regular tune-ups twice a year with new * plugs, points and condenser are a must. Automatic transmission fluid should be changed once a year. Install a new fil* ter at the same time. The radiator should be drained and refilled once a year, too. Use a 50-50 mix of coolant and water for maximum cooling in summer, best protection in winter. Straight coolant actually offers less protection. Clean the engine and engine compartment with degreaser once a year. It’ll make it easier to work on the engine and you’ll be able to spot leaks or problems * * more quickly. A regular weekly check of fluid levels, drive belts, hoses and tire pressures will save you time, money and trouble later. The bodywork should be washed with mild soap every six months, at least. If your car has been treated with Polyglycoat, that’s enough. Otherwise, at least * * of silicone wax on all paint and chrome is a must. Avoid cleaner-wax containing abrasives which can scratch. Dirt on the upholstery acts as an abrasive. Clean it with the proper soap every six months, then rub in silicone. Tires, weatherstripping and other rubber items like a coat of silicone every six one coat * * too In winter, wash white salt residue from the lower body, chassis and under the fenders during thaws. In summer, wash away bugs and dead leaves before they have a chance to stain the finish. A car cover is a must for any car left outside, especially in sunny climates. Rain water won’t hurt your car’s finish, but condensation trapped beneath a waterproof cover can ruin it. Get a cover that “breathes." months, * • Additives and cleaners Coolant Anti-freeze used to be a simple mixture of ethylene glycol and water, and its sole purpose in life was to keep the water in your cooling system from freezing during the winter months. Modern coolant is much more. In addition to the ethylene glycol base, coolants now contain waterpump lubricant, rust inhibitors to keep internal engine passages free, corrosion inhibitors to protect aluminum and other non-ferrous parts and acid neutralizers to protect your car’s system from the minerals dissolved in the water itself. Coolant is designed to remain in your car winter and summer, for it’s been discovered that ethylene glycol not only prevents water from freezing in the winter, but disperses heat more quickly. Your car will run cooler with this mixture in the radiator than with straight water. But a 50-50 mix of coolant and water is an absolute must Too many enthusiasts are under the mistaken impression that straight coolant is more efficient than a 50-50 mixture, just as a 50-50 mix is more efficient than pure water. Not so. Ethylene glycol has its lowest freezing point and its maximum cooling ability when it’s mixed half and half with water. It should also be replaced yearly. Just as with motor oil, the coolant itself doesn’t wear out, but the various additives and inhibitors get used up. chance to chemically deteriorate. When enough of these deposits build up, the passages get smaller until eventually your car stops from a plugged jet or stuck float bowl float. It’s Just like cholesterol buildup in the arteries, which eventually leads to a heart attack. Gasoline additives are nothing more than super-strong solvents which penetrate and dissolve these gasoline deposits, keeping the passages and jets open for maximum fuel flow. They also absorb moisture from the fuel tank and gas lines, preventing corrosion. Carburetor Cleaners Aerosol cleaners for the outside of your carburetor help keep the complicated linkages, choke levers and carb controls clean and operating properly. These same strong cleaners also work on the plunger in your car’s PCV valve, which has a tendency to get clogged and sticky . . . which results in poor gas mileage. Oil Additives Oil additives are basically high-viscosity motor oils that’ve been laced with even more detergents and cleaners than usual. They’re most effective on worn-out engines where the clearances have become too loose to be handled by modern, lowviscosity oils. Oil additives can be surprisingly effective in preventing wear during high-speed, high-temperature driving in new engines, too.

Side tracking means that the frame or chassis of the car is out of alignment, thus making one set of wheels move to one side while the car is in motion. If this occurs, reject the car immediately. Mechanic’s Inspection No car can be expected to well in all areas, but if there are too many problems, consider another auto. If, however, you still believe the car would be a good buy, take the car to be checked out by a reputable independent mechanic. The $10 to $25 you spend very good could be a score investment 1. 'Take the compression in all cylinders. The compression indicates the condition of the rings and valves. 2. Have the mechanic remove the four wheels and check the condition of the brake shoes or pads, the condition of the front whe’el bearings, and whether the disc or drum needs resurfacing. Also have him see if there are leaks near the master any cylinder or wheel cylinders, and if the parking brake is in order. 3. With the car on a lift, have the mechanic check for oil and fluid leaks under the radiator, engine, transmission and rear axle. Leaks in these places can be the result of worn out seals, or they could indicate more serious internal problems. Also, have him check the condition of the exhaust system. 4. In other areas, have the mechanic look at the frame, the suspension and steering system to see if there are any welds or straightened parts. This could denote collision damage. If the mechanic finds any areas that need repair, ask him to estimate the cost. Add this to the dealer’s price, and you will have the real price of the car you are considering. You should also use the cost of any repairs needed as bargaining power. Financing If you and the salesman have arrived at what you consider to be a fair price for the car, you next step is to search for the best deal in financing. Take the dealer’s (unsigned) financial contract to banks, financial institutions and credit unions. get, With each offer you these figures: Down compare payment, amount of the load, annual interest rate, total interest charges, number of payments and the total amount of the contract. In Arizona, the legal limit for a used car interest rate is 12 per cent, and the annual percentage rate may not exceed 24 per cent. There are two very basic ways to save money with any loan: Shorten the time you take to repay, and increase your down payment. Never consider only the convenience of small monthly payments. On the contrary, your primary concern should be total interest. Avoid contracting for a loan which you will still be paying off long after the car has outlived its usefulness. Contracts When you actually buy the that car, remember if you for any change your mind reason, there is no way to stop payment on a certified or cashier’s check. If possible, transact the sale with a personal check. If you wish, post-date the check. Make certain that you read of the contract, and understand it. Don’t let the salesman rush you into signing all anything. Remember, it is your time and money. Do not sign a contract if the salesman refuses to include oral promises or guarantees. Never sign a contract that has blank spaces. Make your contract details of the happens if you or cannot pay (i.e. do you still have to pay even though the car has been repossessed.) Have the seller put on the contract; “This vehicle is certified to have had all Federal Government safety defect recall certain that contains all the sale. Know what miss a payment campaign inspections and/or repairs made on it at the time of sale.” In compliance with the Federal laws pertaining to odometers, the seller of any used car, whether it is a dealer or a private party, must provide the buyer with a signed —continued on page 20— �Do it yourself... continued from into the water outlet while you are cleaning 4.

The statement must also include the name and address of the seller; the date of the sale; the make, model; year; body type; vehicle identification number; and the license number. If the seller knows that the reading on the odometer is incorrect, the actual mileage must be reported as being “unknown.” The statement must also include a section referring to the seller’s liability to the penalty described earlier if any of the information reported is false. Ownership Insurance The efficient way to save money when purchasing insurance is to shop around for the best value on the same coverage. To do this, however, you must be familiar with the following terms: Liability: This insurance protects you from property damage and personal injury costs. Coverage is referred to by three numbers, each representing for $1000, example most 100/300/100 means SI 00,000/$3 00,000/$!00,000. These numbers are the maximum amounts the company will pay for: injury to one person, all injuries in one accident, and property damage, respectively. Consumer Reports magazine recommends 100/300/100 with 25/50/10 being an absolute minimum. Medical'. The medical expenses of passengers in your car are covered by this type of insurance Collision: Collision insurance protects you from the costs of your car when the accident is your fault. Otherwise, repair costs arc paid by the other driver’s insurance company. If you drive an older car, and you can cover repair or replacement costs yourself, you may wish to delete this repairing coverage. Comprehensive : Damage due to flood, theft, fire, etc. is covered by comprehensive ' insurance. Uninsured motorist. This will cover medical. and repair costs ■for you if you are hit by an uninsured driver or hit and run driver, providing you are not at fault. —continued from page 18 Towing. Often insurance policies towing costs cover automatically, find out if the policies you are considering do. Look for companies that give discounts for safe drivers, good grades, and drvier’s education. When you shop for insurance, decide on a set of coverage figures. Then go to many companies with these figures, will probably be surprised at the difference in rates between the companies. you Finding a mechanic Locating a good, competent mechanic has always been and will always be a hit or miss procedure. But by taking a few precautions, you can make the venture a bit less risky. Before you go searching for a mechanic, try to ascertain what is wrong with your car. If you wish, use the tests outlined in the used car inspection section for this. Then, speak to your friends about their experiences with local garages and repair shops. Ask if the job was done right the first time, and if the final bill was close to the estimate. According to some surveys, about one third of all automobile repairs were done incorrectly, or not at all, so beware. Check to see if there are repair shops in your area that hae mechanics certified by the National Institute for Automobile Service Excellence (NIASE). If a mechanic is certified by NIASE, this will indicate that he has passed tests in certain areas of automobile mechanics. This merely indicates that the mechanic is theoretically competent to repair autos. It does not insure that the mechanic who is certified will actually work on your car; for you must specify this. Nor does it guarantee that you will not be cheated, and the NIASE has no grievance procedure. There is a reference copy of the NIASE national directory available in the Consumer Services office. Any garage you select should be busy. There should be a high turnover rate because any car that the shop keeps longer than what is required for repairs will cost the shop money through its use of Oil filter wrench and oil drain pan Oil filler spout Compression tester Continuity tester 0 to I 50 Ih. torque wrench Distributor points file Reprinted from ‘Car and Driver’ Magazine, 1979.

Beware of shops that have squadrons of old clunkers the premises. The adorning floor should not be filthy; a competent mechanic is usually fiarly clean and orderly. Any shop should give you a written estimate prior to doing any work. Ask if the work carries a guarantee; most garages do have provisions for a warranty of some sort. Keep in mind that it is usually more expensive to have a car repaired at a new car dealer as compared workroom deplorable to an independent garage. There are certain pieces of that are essential for a garage that does high quality work. If the shop does not have a timing light; a dwell tachometer; a vacuum gauge; and a compression gauge; the chances for getting a good tune-up are abysmally small. Many garages now have engine analyzers with oscilloscopes; which are a great help in determining what is wrong with an engine. An infrared exhaust analyzer can detect gas impurities in exhuast that a mechanic alone could not. Normally a repair order will be written up by a service manager. When you sign the giving your form you are authorization for the required repairs to be made, regardless of cost unless you specify otherwise. Check over the form to see if what you said was copied down correctly. Ask for clarification if you do not understand something. It is advisable to write on the form ‘‘make no repairs of the replacements without owner’s authorization.” basic equipment — Often you will find that it -cost money to locate exactly what is wrong, especially major with or engine transmission work. The shop may have to tear down the engine to find the problem, and the only time you are aware of this cost is when you decide to not have the work done. Otherwise the charge becomes part of the normal bill for parts well Before you pay make a visual check yourself to see if the work has been done. Ask the service manager to explain all work and repairs done. Complain if the cost is more than the estimate. Ask to see the old parts that were replaced; especially carburetors, shock absorbers, brake shoes, spark plugs, alternators, and starters. Ask for a breakdown of all high labor and other charges, in particular when you see like “miscellaneous Often, materials.” these mysterious “materials” turn out to be expensive blobs of grease. The mechanic should have taken the car for a test drive when major repairs havy been made. Test drive the car yourself on the way home using variety a of speeds and maneuvers. If you are not satisfied, return immediately to the garage. Demand both an explanation and a correction. After all, you have already paid for what was supposed to be fixed. something Traditional rip-offs Ball joints: These are ball and socket joints which are used on the front suspension to transfer the weight of the car to the wheel. They turn and pivot with the front wheels and are to be flexible. There meant should be some amount of play in the ball joints. The correct way to examine them is to straighten the wheels when the car is raised off the ground in a certain manner. The ball joint examination should not be made while the car is on the lift with the wheels turned all the way to one side. With proper lubrication and alignment, ball joints and other suspension components will last for about four years or 50,000 miles. Shock absorbers: Their function is self explanatory. American cars have sets of four, each positioned near a wheel. Unless there is severe body sway, the front end of the car dips low when braking, or the car bounces uncontrollably, new shocks are not necessary. They should last about 25,000 miles or three years.

A government study found that retreads have “extreme variations in quality” and that the average retreaded tire has a performance level significantly below that of a new tire.” When shopping for tires, always compare prices. Different stores often have different prices on the same newspaper for tire. Watch the tire sales which generally occur seasonally; in July and January, May, September. Department and discount stores usually offer good tire values. Store brand tires are frequently made by the larger tire manufacturers, however, house brand tires sell fi r less than their “nationally afvetised” counterparts. In addition, department stores such as Sears, Penney’s and Ward’s are often easier to deal with when one has a complaint. Have new tires spin-balanced when they are installed. Although bubble balanacing is cheaper, it is also much less accurate. Tire values should be replaced only if necessary.

Rates also vary greatly by sex and marital status. According to a survey made by San Francisco Consumer Action, an unmarried 27-year-old woman pays $284 a year for liability coverage that costs an unmarried man of the same age $359. A married 23-year-old man pays $337, compared with $476 for a single man of 23. Age, sex, marital status and territorial risk classifications, critics charge, penalize the young, the unmarried and residents of large cities. Risk categories are sometimes imprecise. The group in which you are placed for rating purposes may include individuals with vastly different risk potentials. If you happen to be one of the good risks in a poor-risk group, you still pay the average rate for the group as a whole. Here are some figures from California driving records for a three-year period that illustrate how smother averages can significant differences among individuals in the same group. The greater the number of -continued from page 15 ... traffic convictions drivers the greater the accumulated, chance that they would have an during accident that period. People with six convictions were 5.3 times as likely to have an accident as drivers with no convictions. But 56% of the group with six convictions did not have any accidents during the three years, Motorists logging more mileage likely more to have accidents. But about 54% of the drivers who accumulated 100,000 or more miles over three years didn’t have any accidents. The accident rate for male drivers under 21 was twice that for men 46 to 50. Yet 65% of the under-21 drivers had no accidents in the three-year period. Men had more accidents than women. But woman had more accidents than men per 100,000 miles driven. A Stanford Research Institute study commissioned by insurance trade organizations pointed out that there is a considerable overlap between categories, so a person in one group could equally be a member of a higher- or lower-risk group. Even driver education courses, which qualify young drivers for a discount, have been called into questipn. A recent study by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety found, much to the of the insurance surprise companies, that the program has not reduced involvement in fatal crashes by licensed 16- and 17-year olds. In fact, driver education might have indirectly raised the fatal crash rate by encouraging licensing of drivers at younger ages. Risk plans do not promote remedial action. Ideally, risk rating should concentrate on criteria that induce drivers to were \N C their performance and thereby obtain a lower premium improve rate. For example, it seems logical to assume that someone facing a stiff surcharge if he has an accident will take special care. But he can’t change his age, sex, of marital status or place (all primary rating residence factors) to qualify for a lower premium. The insurance companies respond concede that the exist, imperfections companies defend the present system as the best available. Their arguments tend to stress these Although they points; Risk ratings work well The classification systems now in use predict losses with reasonable It is that precision. true individuals in any particular group may actually produce losses far different from the group average. But actuaries can only measure the loss propensity of the group. A study by Aetna explains the principle with an analogy based on tossing a coin. The probability of heads coming up on repeated tosses is 50%. That represents the odds for the group. But you can’t apply the same odds to predict that a head will always be followed by a tail or vice versa. Other rating factors are obscure. It would be difficult to replace age, sex, marital status and location the factors most often criticized because they seem to represent forces that can’t be easily identified or measured. For example, it may be that age is a good predictor because it is linked to a driver’s attitude toward safety or his emotional maturity. Uniform rates would hurt low-risk drivers. Restricting the use of such key factors as age and — - sex would flatten rates by raising premiums for lower-risk drivers and reducing those for higher-risk drivers. The National Association of Independent Insurers, which many of the represents companies, says that if age were eliminated, 83% of the nation’s drivers would have to pay 18% more for auto insurance to offset an average 42% reduction in premiums for the remaining 17%. The association estimates that young women would be charged 29% more to counterbalance premium cuts for young men if sex and marital status were eliminated. More drivers would be rejected. Narrowing rate differences among encourage drivers would companies to accpet only those considered better risks and, in the association’s words, to “find ways to ignore the young drivers, who unprofitable represent highly business.” drivers Higher-risk would increasingly be forced into assigned-risk plans and, state presumably, substandard companies. Those contentions no longer carry as much weight with state legislators and insurance officials as they once did. During the past few years Hawaii, Massachusetts and North Carolina have prohibited rating by age and sex. Massachusetts has also eliminated marital status as a criterion, realigned territorial boundaries and ordered that accident and traffic violation surcharges be computed in flat dollar amounts instead of percentages a change that favors drivers already paying high base premiums. Wyoming’s insurance department has adopted an order prohibiting rating by sex, marital status, occupation or location; it has been contested in the courts by insurance — companies. Other states have been considering similar action. The movement became a national issue last year when a task force of the National Association of Insurance Commissioners recommended that states rate eliminate and underwriting standards based on age, sex and marital status. The task force, whose proposal the association tabled after reportedly intense lobbying by insurance company representatives, said those factors do not measure risk ’ very effectively and can be replaced with more acceptable such as criteria, driving M Hu fcml 9ncpul Svwiu experience. One point not in dispute between state officials and the companies insurance that is revisions in risk classifications can produce premium substantial changes. A Massachusetts official estimates that its new rules have narrowed the previous 10-to-l spread between the highest and lowest rates for people with flawless records to 5 to 1. Jaguar You can save on your own Keep in mind that rating reforms won’t prevent premiums from rising if claims costs increase. Also, you might be one of those who the insurance companies say would have to pay more if the proposed changes are instituted. Whatever system your state to you to adopts, search out opportunities for reducing your premium.

Posing ordinary buyers, investigators of the Pennsylvania insurance department last year visited 186 insurance agencies in three cities. Of the 92 Philadelphia agents as contacted, fewer than 30% volunteered information on discounts and deductibles that could have reduced premiums 20% to 40%. If that experience is in any way indicative of conditions elsewhere, it’s best to arm yourself with as much information as you can before approaching agents. Ask your state insurance department for any material it may have published. Check the experience friends and of neighbors. And read through your present policy carefully so that you’re sure of the kind and amount of protection you have. few Contact at least a companies. Every fresh survey that auto insurance often charge greatly different premiums for the same coverage. In the Missouri study referred to earlier, rates for a St. Louis couple with an 18-year-old son and one car ranged from $405 confirms companies to $2,086.

If possible, avoid allowing them to become the principal driver of a car. That pushes up the premium even more. Make sure they take driver education so they qualify Some discount. offer a discount for above-average with students grades. You may also be entitled to a reduced rate if your children spend part of the year at an out-of-town school. for that companies Check you car’s rating. Several years ago insurers introduced surcharges for “muscle” cars. That of gearing rates to specific makes and models seems likely to increase. Allstate last year offered discounts on collision and comprehensive coverage for about three dozen models and surcharged nearly 100 others. Before you buy your next car, it might pay to check the car insurance differentials with the insurance company. Incidentally, a surcharge does not constitute a judgment of a car’s quality. The rate variations reflect repair costs, accident frequency, theft losses and other factors. practice Consider larger deductibles. An man under 21 might be able to save about $50 a year on collision coverage by raising the deductible to $250 from $100. He can lower his premium bill for comprehensive by $15 to $40 if he buys a $100 deductible policy instead of one providing full coverage. unmarried Whatever your situation, you save something by accepting a larger deductible because you are can transferring part of the risk from the company to yoursfelf. It’s not an ideal solution, but it’s one of the few cost-cutting opportunities that are readily available. Use the same company for all cars. You are not charged the full rate for the second and successive cars covered by the same policy, so it’s usually more economical to put all your cars on one policy. Avoid installment payments. The company tacks an extra amount on to your premium when you pay in monthly or quarterly installments. Consider public transportation. Many people must drive to work. But if you are one of those who have a choice, examine the potential benefits of using public transportation. You will save not only on your insurance by limiting your driving but also on the cost of running the car and — that can be substantial when you take into maintenance, account depreciation gas, and parking. If you must or want to continue driving to work, think about joining a car pool. You might be entitled to a car pool discount on your insurance and, of course, you also stand to save on automobile expenses. -Reprinted from ‘Changing Times.'

Ketter to decide RA room status; Doty stands firm by Mark Meltzer Campus In their 20 page appeal to Doty, the RA’s cited several cases Editor UB’s Resident Advisor (RA) staff is awaiting what could be the knockout punch in their battle with administrators to retain their no-roommate status. President Robert L. Ketter who was in St. Louis at press time Monday was expected to have phoned in his - - decision by today. Just before Spring Break, Vice President for Finance and Management Edward W. Doty refused to reverse his March 23 decision to open up an additional 68 bed spaces. Doty’s decision will force most RA’s to live with a roommate or move to a smaller room next year. (Currently, many RA's ‘‘designated occupy doubles” by themselves and these are the rooms where the additional 68 spaces lie.) “I have carefully reviewed the material that you and your associates presented to me at our meeting on Thursday, March 29,” Doty said in a letter to Joe Tobin, Governor’s Residence Hall Senior RA. “Both the thoroughness and the extent of that material were impressive and both your facts and arguments were marshalled very effectively,” Doty wrote. “Unfortunately, the facts haven’t really changed and the weight of the evidence still comes down, in my judgement, on the side of the 68 additional beds for the fall semester.” - that would indicate that the 68 additional students will not be totally content with their room arrangements. The roommate would be denied basic rights by being awoken in the middle of the night and asked to leave his room frequently, the RA’s noted, and could also be forced into the unofficial role of Assistant RA when the RA is not in. Doty’s denial of the RA’s appeal spurred the latest appeal to Ketter who met last week with Doty, Assistant Housing Director Gary Soehner, Housing Director Madison Boyce, whose staff is opposed to roommate for RA’s and Assistant Vice President for Housing Len Snyder. According to Soehner, Ketter said he appreciated receiving the material the RA’s presented and that he would call his decision in from St. Lou is. Should Ketter deny this second appeal, Doty’s decision will stand, according to Soehner. “I would assume that Ketter’s decision would be the final one for the institution,” he said. The group reaction of the RA’s to Ketter’s decision will not be known until at least Wednesday. “To stereotype any reaction from the RA’s would be kind of Soehner cautioned. unfair,” “Some RA’s said they wouldn’t react too strongly against it, in fact, one guy said he wanted to have a roommate and knew who he wanted to have.” However, Soehner said the RA’s are not likely to let the issue die quietly with a Ketter denial; and he did not rule out the possibility of an Howell said. The RA's were expected to meet last night to discuss any possible future action, Some new RA‘s, informed of their acceptance on March 30, RA strike, or negotiations for additional compensation. have already indicated that they will not assume the job unless they are given their own rooms. Although the number of new RA’s taking that stance is “less than 20 percent” according to Soehner, many rookie RA’s may wait until they are assigned rooms during the summer to make a final decision. About 75 new RA’s were selected, with an alternative pool estimated at between 15 to 20, so a moderate turndown rate could cause vacancies on the RA - No help Richmond John Howell RA called Doty's non-reversal a poor decision, but did not think a strike would help. “If Ketter doesn’t do it, it won’t get done,” according to Soehner. staff, Another fact to consider, Soehner indicated, is that some current RA’s may not return if they are burdened with roommates. Dave Guy, a newly selected RA who was once an RA with a roommate at Oneonta State, said -continued on page 2 Five UB profs garner esteemed Guggenheim awards And now, for the good news. In a gratifying and to some astonishing indication that SUNY Buffalo faculty is still a distinguished one, five professors, including four from the Faculty of Arts and Letters, captured have academia’s most prestigious award traditionally Guggenheim fellowships. The often-beleagured F.nglish department saw three of its members win Guggenheim’s a showing that department Chairman Gale Carrithers said is almost unheard of in the humanities. UB placed in the nation’s top 20 schools in landing the five awards, the highest total of any SUNY school. The recipients are; English Professors Robert Daly, John Logan and Norman Holland, Media Studies Prof Bohuslav Vasulka and Psychology Professor Naomi Weisstein. According to Associate Vice President for Academic Affairs Claude E. Welch, the University is delighted by the national recognition its professors received. “1 cannot recall a year in which we’ve had more than one grant recipient,” he explained. In its 55th year, the Guggenheim Grants are — - Correction awarded on the basis of “research and creative activity, accomplishment.” Of and the 2,974 applicants, 291 were named as winners.

Dean of the Faculty of Arts and Letters George At the candidate's request, we printed up statements, signed by our business manager William Finkelstein, that described the error and After one department is “spectacular.” “In the humanities,” he said, “I bet it hasn’t campaign / Recognition of quality Looking to those universities such as Cornell and Columbia which garnered more awards than UB nine and eight respectively Levine said, “It is interesting to note that of the five awards to UB, four were in Arts and Letters. That matches Columbia, for of its nine awards, four were in the Humanities Discipline, two in Natural Sciences and three in the Social Sciences. And it surpasses Cornell’s, for of their eight awards, three were in the Humanities Discipline and five in the natural Sciences.” — - The Wednesday, April 4 issue Of The Sped rum contained a serious error that falsely implied two stucjents were facing charges before the Student Wide Judiciary in connection with the theft of several hundred copies of The Spedmm\ April 2 issue, which contained SA candidate endorsements The article stated that The Spectrum had reported its version of the theft to the Department of Public Safety and that, according to investigator Frank Panek, Michael Schwartz and Michael Niman would be brought before SWJ on the theft. While The Spectrum accurately reported what Panek said, we did not check our facts completely enough and learned the next day that Panek had been mistaken. This negligence was compounded by the fact that Schwartz was a candidate for SA President at the time and suffered untold damage to his Inside: SA election results— P. 3 Levine referred to his unit’s accomplishment as "abundant external validation of the quality of Arts and Letters faculty.” He added that regardless of the enrollment problems faced by Arts and Letters, the quality recognition cannot be ignored.

These statements were taped to the Squire Hall table from where The Spectrum is distributed and were given to Schwartz to distribute by hand, but they doubtlessly could not repair the damage that had been done by the page five article in that day’s edition. Unfortunately, the April 4 edition was our last before the Spring Break, so we were unable to respond immediately to the error in a* fashion that woufd match its consequences. We realize that there is no way to wipe away the serious effect our negligence had on the campaign of Michael Schwartz and on the reading public’s perception of both Schwartz and Michael Niman. But we would like to sincerely and publicly apologize to both students and repeat to our readers that they are not facing charges of any kind in connection, with the April 2 theft and that we have no reason to believe they were involved in the incident in any way.

Former IRC President Jim Paul, who left office on March 31 in the midst of the RA’s appeal, said he in no way considered IRC’s action in this case to be a failure. “I didn’t want to step on anything the RA's were doing,” said Paul, an RA himself. New IRC President Tom Knight, when informed by The Spectrum that University President Robert L. Ketter was within hours of making a decision whether to house RA’s with roommates, said, “I’d probably better make an appointment to speak with him.” Knight, who co-authored IRC’s letter to Vice President for Finance and Management Edward W. Doty, has not yet met with Ketter on the matter although Paul has met briefly with Ketter, Assistant Housing Director Gary Soehner and Associate Vice President for Student Affairs Anthony Lorenzetti. Paul did not however, confer with Doty, who made the roommate decision March 23, or Len Snyder, his assistant. Paul said he never thought the roommate decision would reach Ketter without being overturned, given the logic of the RA’s arguments. He commented, “I thought this University had at least a vestige of logic, but they proved me wrong.” - - - Sub Board One, Inc.

Richmond RA Howell, who noted that the RA job is “traumatic enough,” said new RA’s, because they are given no choice of location, would be the most likely to have roommates. According to Soehner, individual RA’s will not be able to select between smaller singles, such as those in the Ellicott Complex, or larger rooms with roommates, like those in Goodyear and Governor’s residence halls. That decision will have to be made at least by area, but maybe across Housing, Soehner indicated. RA’s have in the past indicated, he said, that the miniscule singles in Goodyear a from page 1— • and in the small dorms are not suitable for RA housing. Additional compensation for RA’s in the form of a free board contract is extremely unlikely, Soehner, because such an offer would have to come Faculty Student from the Association (FSA), which runs UB’s food and vending services. “They have said all along that there is no way FSA is ever going board for RA's, to provide especially since we don’t have mandatory contracts here,” he said. RA’s will get free local phone service next year, a new benefit, but that decision was made prior to the Doty ruling and not meant to compensate for the addition of roommates. Doty said the non-reversal was “not among the most pleasant decisions 1 have made. I agree that Resident Advisors need single rooms in order to carry out their responsibilities in the most effective manner,” he remarked. One ramification of the decision, according to Howell, will be a further decrease in the according to already diminishing applicant pool for RA’s, as students seek other methods of defraying college costs. “The Housing office would like to think that RA’s are superhuman and are doing it for the sheer pleasure of it,” he said. “You don’t do this just for the fun of it.

The contests for the positions of Vice President of Sub-Board 1, Inc. and Director of Student Unopposed Amidst political battles splitting educators on the fate of the City University of New York (CUNY) system, Chairman of the State Assembly’s Committee on Higher Education Mark Siegel has proposed a total State takeover of the capital and operating expenses of CUNY’s senior colleges. The current mandate of CUNY’s Board of Higher Education expires June 30, and the need to akin to SUNY’s Board of Trustees settle CUNY’s fiscal woes prompted Siegel’s proposal. CUNY is the third largest university in the country and boasts close to 200,000 students. Although 75 percent of CUNY’s operating costs and 50 percent of its debt service bill are currently footed by the State, Siegel’s proposal calls for complete takeover by 1982. His legislation would maintain CUNY’s continued existence as an independent and “integrated system including both senior and community colleges.” Barry Calder also unopposed of the Director of the Students Party became Director of Student Activities and Services with 647 - votes through appointment of two-thirds of its Board of Higher Education members. SUNY’s Blinken asserted, “The format or governance are not that significant. We are concerned with a healthy, viable City system that will be good for SUNY.” - - Compromise Siegel’s proposal represents a compromise between State, City, and university authorities and still allows for negotiations on specifics among various officials and New York City’s Mayor, Ed Koch. Siegel’s plan also abandons previous suggestions that CUNY be merged with the State’s current public institution the SUNY system. Siegel told The Spectrum that New York City can no longer afford the cost of the CUNY system and that the State “should pay for public higher education costs inside the City because it pays them outside the City.” In addition, Siegel’s plan calls for any CUNY construction project not under way by July 1 to be re-examined. CUNY would then draw up a “realistic” plan for capital construction which its Board of Higher Education to be renamed Board of Trustees would design. Siegel revealed that both SUNY and CUNY opposed a merger plan back in 1976. He said that “there has been no public propose} for 5a merger and it would result in an administrative nightmare.” : j i - Total State takeover proposed to cure — — Guess who The Manhattan Assemblyman also claimed that there would be no increased battle between CUNY and SUNY for the State’s limited resources. He said, “Each school stands on its merits against hundreds of other State programs and if a battle exists, it exists now.” Siegel noted that in the last three years the State has set budget levels for CUNY and that grave problems would result “if the State doesn’t take over.” Chairman of the SUNY Board of Trustees Donald Blinken said that although SUNY has not taken an official position on the proposed State takeover of CUNY, “we are concerned with whatever is good for public higher education.” Blinken told The Spectrum that the SUNY Board of Trustees is not concerned with who funds CUNY, and who controls what; rather, he noted, “We are concerned with supporting public education and insuring the taxpayer’s get their money’s worth.” In fact, Blinken noted that a State takeover of CUNY might be an advantage because “the State’s budget control is superior to the City’s.” / .. ... . • ; f Blinken related that a single public education system might be more detrimental to SUNY than if it must compete directly with CUNY for State aid. He hypothesized that strong downstate pressure could adversely affect upstate schools if CUNY and SUNY were merged. In discussing Siegel’s proposal, Blinken commented that arguments of two public sectors competing between themselves are CUNY’s financial woes However, officials will continue their battle on the specifics along with the total proposal. Hearings are set for April 27 in New York and May I in Albany, where rough edges may be ironed out. One of the rough edges concerns community colleges, which are financed jointly by the City and State. Although these schools will be unaffected by Siegel’s proposal, the plan to continue to operate the currently a community colleges under the same governing board separate but joint authority from both CUNY and SUNY may be an area of dispute. — — Kevin Bryant garnered 793 votes while “highly exaggerated.” Siegel’s proposal would also give the Governor control of CUNY New Editor Progressive candidate for Treasurer Former SA President Karl —continued on page 18— �* — For gems from the union of Jewish Bible Phone 875-4265 POETRY AND MUSIC at HEARD ISRAEL 8:00 pm on Wednesday, April 18th * poems by — music by byran dibble — - joseph darcy michael chmielowiec SUMMER WORK �249/Wk.

Open Mon • Frl. 8:30 5:00 points by University Learning If you often experience the kind of anguish and anxiety when you sit down to compose a piece of writing that interferes with (or even prevents) your writing performance, you should know two things: 1. you are not alone in feeling such “writing anxiety,” and 2. there are a few steps you can take to overcome that condition. For some writers, a little anxiety produces their best writing. The pressure of an approaching deadline for a paper and the sweat that accompanies hammering out the paper at the last minute, can spur some writers on to their best efforts. However, for most highly-anxious beginning writers, apprehension (uncertainty, helplessness) about the act of writing, works negatively and can overwhelm the writer with a paralyzing fear. One fact that might comfort Cantor anxious bbginning writers is that they are not alone in their fear of a blank piece of paper. Not only are many other inexperienced writers just as afraid, but so are experienced, professional writers. For example, drama critic Walter Kerr writes: “Creative writing is a harrowing business, a terrifying commitment to an absolute. This is it, the writer must say to himself, and 1 must stand or fall upon what I have put down.” According to Pulitzer Prize winner Donald M. Murray, “every writer feels the same terror of the blank page.” And, novelist Virginia Woolf wrote in her diary: “My mind turned by anxiety, or some other cause, from its scrutiny of blank paper, is like a lost child.” In response to the anxiety that they have observed to be prevalent among college beginning writers, researchers have begun to study the causes and effects of writing anxiety. One research study developed this profile of the typical anxious college writer: a) fears evaluation of his writing, b) avoids writing; c) expects to fail in his few writing attempts; d) consistently fails to turn in composition in class; e) does not attend class when writing is required; and 0 seldom enrolls voluntarily in courses where writing is required. It shouldn’t be too surprising, either, that highly anxious college writers limit themselves to choosing academic majors that do not require much writing There are a tew things you can do for yourself in order to conquer your fear of writing; 1. Force yourself to attend every class, especially if it is a writing class. Excessive “cuts” only reinforce your feelings of helplessness and self-doubt about required writing assignments. 2. Seek out individualized help as soon as the semester begins. If you know from the start that you fear writing, approach your instructor and request extra help, the Writing Place tutors. One-to-one conference sessions are a must if you are to become more confident about your or visit writing. 3. Acquire some self-help, or programmed writing workbooks Although such texts as A programmed Approach to Writing (Ginn and Company, 1973) are not the answer to all writing ills, research has shown that programmed learning can help to nullify the interfering effects of high anxiety. 4. Discover everything that you can about yourself as a writer. Sit down and think about your writing “history” (how you were taught to write, previous English classes you’ve taken, what stages you go through when you compose, etc.). Then, write an essay on “How I Write.” It might The black sheep of Canadian liquors. There's a breed of men with gypsy blood.

The CANCER protesters are scheduled to assemble in Niagara Square at 11:30 a.m. then march to the Marine Midland Tower where they will rally outside during the bank's annual stockholders meeting. While enroute to the Tower, the protesters plan to circle around the Niagara Mohawk Building. Niagara Mohawk part-owner of a nuclear power complex near Oswego, N.Y. and has r. uranium mining subsidiary based in Texas. A CANCER spokesperson, Bill Nowak said, “We are focusing on Marine Midland because it is the largest local investor in nuclear power. According to the Senate Report ‘Disclosure of Corporate Ownership’, Marine Midland holds the largest single block of Niagara Mohawk stock.” Nowak also noted that a director of Marine Midland, William G. Kuhns, is also chairman of Metropolitan Edison which owns the crippled Three Mile Island Reactor in Pennsylvania, and is expected to attend today’s stockholders meeting. i <* Corporate Accountability “Because of Marine Midland’s investments and ties to the nuclear industry, we felt that bringing in our complaints to their stockholders meeting would be going to one of the sources of the problem,” explained Minna Hamilton, another CANCER spokesperson. She imparted that the group has four basic demands: a complete moratorium on nuclpar power, an agreement with Marine that the bank will stop financing companies which promote nuclear power and spend its money on alternative energy sources and neighborhood redevelopment, and lastly, the group wants to insure that industries which produce contaminatory wastes will be held accountable for the disposal of such wastes. Procedural ambiguities cloud future of General Ed Kathleen McDonough Campus editor Although the General Education Plan sailed through its first test in the Faculty Senate, ambiguities and uncertainties continue to haunt its future. While the plan is clear on some procedural points, it is vague on others such as to whom the Committee that wrote originally and will continuously revise the program - reports The administrator who ultimately receives the Committee report holds power over the program. He can procedurally accept or reject the report, revise it, and possibly, stall its progress. In April 1978, the General Education Committee was formed ' by Vice President for Academic Affairs Ronald F. Bunn, Vice President of Health Sciences F. Carter Pannill and the then chairman of the Jonathan Senate, Faculty Reichert. A letter signed by all three instructed the Committee, called a “Standing committee of the University,” to prepare a general education program for UB. The letter directed the Committee to monitor the program and to advise in its implementation. But who has authority over aspects which of the implementation remains unclear. The program goes into effect in Fall 1980. Between now and October 1979, when it reports back to the Faculty Senate, the Committee must flesh out the basic course requirement in the various “knowledge areas setting up guidelines for determining which courses the program, qualify for a basic skills exploring requirement, and adjusting the program for certain disciplines. Bunn said that the Committee was always intended to report to himself, Pannill, and the Chairman of the Faculty Senate. He said the Committee will continue to report to all three, but cautioned that this could change in the future. The reporting structure has led to several complications on bureaucratic concerns such as which office should duplicate type and documents. - But there are more important overtones behind the question of who will oversee implementation of the program. Last Fall, Bunn and Pannill moved to split the administration of undergraduate education. The action would have effectively stripped the dean of his authority in the Health Sciences, which enrolls a political MEDICAL SCHOOL SCHOLARSHIPS The Armed Forces Health Professions Scholarship Program The cost of a Medical/Osteopathy Education is steadily rising.

When the proposal was attacked by various sectors of the University, including student and Bunn leaders, Pannill returned with an alternate plan. President Robert L. Ketter is now considering thij formation of a Council on Undergraduate Education to replace the traditional role of the Dean, but he has given no hint of his decision yet. In most institutions where a general education program has been adopted or is in the birth process, the body developing the program reports to the Faculty Senate and/or the undergraduate dean. Nowhere in the General Education Committee’s Report is the DUE Dean mentioned, the fact that the despite applies only to program undergraduates. Bunn noted that Peradotto deliberately placed on the Committee to get the Dean’s input, but the Dean was has no more power than any other Committee member Appointing new members to the Committee is another gray area in the report. Although it stipulates that one-third of the Committee change over each from year, retaining a mix of different sectors the University, the office which makes the appointments is not named case reason no explicit mechanism was mapped out is that the Committee was not expected to continue, that it would “report and that’s that A standing committee” is recognized as a permanent body. The Gen Ed Committee has, from its inception, been standing considered a com rnittee. C.arver sent Bunn and Pannill a copy of the revised plan (one which was rewritten to include amendments passed by the Faculty Senate last month) and list of names considered by a the Senate’s Executive Committee for appointment. Carver said he hopes the appointments can be made quickly so that the Committee will be back up to full strength. Lockwood dedication The Lockwood Library, which opened on the Amherst Campus last June, will be officially dedicated tomorrow in an all-day ceremony. The old Lockwood Library on the Main Street Campus opened in 1935 and was named in memory of Thomas Lockwood by his children. The Lockwood family has since bequeathed many rare books, including some by Milton, Shakespeare and Chaucer, to the UB libraries. Former U.S. Commissioner of Education Earl James McGrath will speak at the dedication ceremony, which begins at 2 p.m. in the Woldman Theatre, Norton Hall. McGrath, who once served as an administrator at UB, is a respected authority on education and the author of numerous books and articles. Throughout the day, from 9 a.m. until 4 p.m., librarians will conduct tours of the three main libraries on the Amherst Campus Lockwood, Undergraduate, and Science and Engineering. Lockwood Librarians will also demonstrate the Computer search system and give special tours of the Government Documents Section. - No leader The vagueness resurfaces in the Chairman. The report states the new to be chairman is “nominated by the Committee from among its members,” but does not say who accepts the nominations. With Chairman Norman Baker among the six departing members, and no clear mechanism for chosing a new chairman, the Committee is presently without a leader. Bunn said that he. Pannill and the current Chairman of the Faculty Senate Newton Garver “are expected to appoint the new members.” He assumed the appointments were not spelled out in the report because the Committee felt it unnecessary. Pannill acknowledged But that the report was vague, and the appointment procedure must still be determined.

RA’s: Don’t settle for letters Sadly, the annual ineffectiveness of the Inter-Residence Council as an advocate of dormitory student rights has diminished, and in some cases extinguished, hopes that IRC can win important battles with the administration. The organization has not shown itself capable of anticipating and acting upon crucial policy issues and, as a result, is no longer held to what we feel are its primary responsibilities. While we can understand Resident Advisors reluctance to see IRC officials leading the current fight against roommates for RA's, we cannot agree that a letter to President Ketter protesting the decision is all that IRC should be expected to provide. The less that students demand from their representatives, the less they can expect to get. At this university student advocacy on policy matters is tar less tenacious and less sophisticated than the administration's insensitivity warrants.

The fact that RA's are already doing some of these things does not excuse IRC, whose leaders have never acted with this kind of fervor before. The students of this university will never, ever, get what they deserve from their elected representatives until they start demanding it. Don't settle for letters. There is so much more to be done.

Clark To the Editor (SHI). This decision of Sub-Board occurred only after an open forum attended by 400 people was held, and extensive discussion of the issue took place. A great deal of student input affected the decision of Sub-Board. The decision, of course, impacts directly upon students, who are the only persons eligible to be covered by the SHI. UB/CARASA has worked for the continued inclusion of abortion coverage in the SHI. We the vote of Sub-Board which applauded recognized that abortion coverage is necessary to insure a woman’s right to continue her education. Unfortunately, the vote of Sub-Board did not settle the issue. The fight is not over yet. The Health Insurance Advisory Committee, a group made up primarily of administrators and charged with the responsibility of insuring that the SHI meets student needs, is withholding approval of the Sub-Board recommendation, thus delaying final approval by President Ketter. The Committee delay is wrong. By failing to approve the SHI because of the inclusion of abortion coverage, the Committee is going beyond its function and taking over what; has previously been a student body decision. We have just completed an experimental three-year plan at UB in which mandatory SHI was utilized. The Committee has, for each of the past three years, sponsored a student survey to enable it to determine student reactions to this type of coverage. The survey is conducted by phone and approximately 600 students are polled. This year’s survey is still in the process of being conducted and tabulated. Because of the issue surrounding abortion coverage for next year’s policy, the survey’s author, and member of the Committee, Dr. Robert O’Shea, added three questions concerning abortion coverage that Were approved by the committee. The questions are clearly biased in favor of optional abortion coverage and many people surveyed have complained about the nature of the questions. The survey even uses the term and arguments of the group opposed to the regular inclusion of abortion coverage in the SHI. In fact. Dr. O’Shea is an avowed and outspoken opponent of abortion coverage in the SHI! Yet he wrote and is in charge of the survey, and the Committee is waiting for the results of these three questions before it determines how abortion coverage should be included in our policy. We also question how the Committee can justify its use of a survey before determining the issue of abortion coverage when all other components of the SHI have already been approved by the Committee without the survey results. Why is it that once again, abortion is receiving different treatment than all other basic health needs of students? is particularly questionable about the use of a survey to determine a question of abortion coverage is that such use is beyond the original intent of the survey and probably beyond the scope of the Committee’s authority. In the past, the Committee has looked at the insurance policy approved by Sub-Board and determined whether or not it was, in fact, possible to implement. The Committee has never, before this year, attempted to second-guess Sub-Board with respect to student opinion surrounding particular coverage. We must recognize that the co-committee is doing this in order to further its own, rather than student, goals, and speak out against this usurption of our student voice. On March 23, 1979, the day after the Sub-Board approval of the SHI with abortion coverage included. President Ketter spoke publicly on the vote. He promised to “concur with the majority of Sub-Board I unless (the abortion coverage) violate(d) any (SUNY) rules or regulations or state law.” Ketter indicated that he was unaware of any such prohibitions at the time. By this statement, President Ketter clearly recognized the right of Sub-Board, the student to make the final body representative, determination as to the contents of SHI, based on its evaluation of student opinion and need. THe only responsibility left for the Committee is to evaluate the policy in terms of practicality and to determine administration of the program. We urge the Committee to realize the limitations that What Committee’s have been placed on it. Its review of the SHI may not look to an ill-worded survey to overturn what has been approved by Sub-Board 1Sub-Board is responsible for representing the desires of the student body in approving an insurance policy. The student body representatives having spoken. President Ketter must immediately approve the Sub-Board adopted SHI plan for next year. The Committee must stop its consideration of this student issue and Its use of a biased survey written by someone we feel is a biased author. Students must be able to determine their health insurance plan. Arlene Fisk Trisha Franzen Linda Sudano �esdaywednesdaywc feedback A letter from the Editor 18. 1979 April To the readers Good morning. Beginning today and continuing every issue from now until the end of the semester, this comer will be reserved for a letter, written and signed by myself and intended for you the readers. I want to talk about the newspaper, without talking for the newspaper; that is, I have some personal and professional views on what has happened this year, what did not happen and what could have happened. You may agree. You may disagree And you may never have thought about some of what is discussed here. Nothing I say will, in any way, represent the views of any member or segment of The Spectrum's editorial board. This is not an editorial or a commentary. This is my attempt to stimulate and celebrate thoughtful ideas on this newspaper, on student newspapers, and on the people who produce and read them. Something I think is not often realized is that The Spectrum functions with a woefully meager and heavily skewed idea of what the reading public appreciates and doesn’t appreciate from its newspaper. Far too often, clues to reader response are taken from comments overheard in Squire Hall or told to a roommate. Of even more impact are the comments, criticisms, objections, denunciations, denials, accusations and outright attacks that come to us (and about us) across these pages as Letters to the Editor. While this response to issues we’ve covered has set us on a more appropriate course from time to time and has even changed newspaper policy in certain cases, it just as often comes from people or groups with an interest sometimes a very passionate interest in the issue and the way we have handled it. Although there is nothing illegitimate about criticism from interest groups, or from individuals with a personal stake in an issue, such criticism does not necessarily reflect what the readers, as observers of the issues and the - - - newspaper, are thinking. There are several things 1 could have done gather reader response to and didn’t do. It is of this year’s failures. But the issue runs deeper. So think about this: On Wednesday, April 4, you were presented with a nine-page special section on the nuclear power plant accident near Harrisburg, Pa. Not only was the coverage in that account more extensive than the coverage provided by perhaps any college newspaper in America, but since we sent - our own team of correspondents we corporate politics of the nuclear industry, for example; or how about a perspective on the media itself and its contrived search for the typical residents; or how about a good, old-fashioned, h ere’s-what-happened-to-me, first-person perspective from our writer on the scene? The accident at Three Mile Island plan is one of the top two or three domestic news stories of the year, by any standard; and by the standards of the anti-nuclear movement (which I thought had a real outpost here) Harrisburg was an historic turning point, the beginning of the Post Accident Era in nuclear politics. The Spectrum responded in a reasonably sophisticated way with an enthusiasm and news sense that, 1 think, few college newspapers in the country demonstrated. Read that section, and our coverage before and after, and you will know the Harrisburg issue rather well. And then there were the photos. 1 am not afraid to say that, in terms of newspaper quality the standards of the profession you were presented with top, top quality photography. The cover photo of the April 4 issue will not be bettered in any newspaper or magazine you can find and the inside photography is, 1 think, - - The following teller has been sent to Student Association President Richard Mott. This was a quality piece of work, ladies and gentlemen, put together in little more than 24 hours and given free to you while the issue was still very much at its critical point. I think the staff of this paper did a commendable job in bringing you a quality section on an issue that will profoundly affect your lives one day. As expected, we got no letters on it. Is this what the audience wants? appreciates? loaths? ignores? Is there an audience for professional coverage of major news events? Is there an audience for professional news photography? Is there an audience for hard work and dedication to readers? Should we bother renting a car and sending correspondents out to stay up for 40 straight hours while they poke around amidst radiation levels that could be hazardous? I am beginning to wonder. One of the things I want to establish in this series is that the staff of this newspaper has despite anything anyone or any group can allege worked hard, real hard, to bring you, and themselves, a better newspaper. But more importantly, I’d like to exhibit with you, the readers, the role you have played and could have played in shaping and stimulating that effort. It’s worth a thought — - For those who can’t everyone else involved. It is to the students of this University I owe the biggest thank you. You proved to me that the campuses can unite for one weekend and produce an event like no other in U.B.’s history.

Hopefully because of what we united to do this year, people will no longer need to “dance for those who can’t.” Ed Oravec Marathon 79 Co-Chairperson former 5 Dear Richard This correspondence is to inform you that, as my last official act in office, 1 am granting you a full and complete pardon for any and all illegal acts you may have committed during you tenure in office. I take this action with the utmost regret (Kefter and Stein pressuring me with threats of a January '81 graduation, how did you get those guys on your side?), especially when 1 think about the grievousness of some of your acts. Nevertheless, much to the chagrin of the members of the “Senate Oversight Committee” (man those guys are rough, a bunch of Proxmires!), and assorted others within the U.B. student community (you know, the ones that made your enemies list), here is the letter you have patiently awaited. The pressures off, you are free to leave Buffalo with a clean (or should I say whitewashed) slate. If you have any questions concerning this matter, drop me a note but please stay away from my house during the daytime. - Expecting something in return, I am sincerely yours Karl Schwartz Lame Duck superior. were I would like to extend my deepest appreciation to the University community for making the Third Annual Muscular Dystrophy Dance Marathon a huge sucess.

A likely student reaction to the somewhat libelous attack on my colleague by Steve Candidus in you March 30 issue is to cheer the maligned student’s attempt to get back at the nasty professor. Let me suggest that this is not the wisest reaction. As one closely acquainted with the case I believe my comments are worth listening to. First, since my colleague has spent several years studying the subject matter of his course, and is widely regarded as one of the leading young scholars in his area, he is extremely well qualified to evaluate the performance of his students. The likelihood of a serious error in judging Mr. Candidus’ performance is therefore remote. This means that it is highly probable that we have graduated someone who is incompetent in an area which is directly related to the job he seeks to perform. While Mr. Candidus claims that experience certifies his competence, this need not be the case, and, in fact, probably is not: it is more likely that he has yet to achieve a high enough status to be required to make decisions in which he must rely on his expertise. If Mr. Candidus is really lacking in an area of expertise which SUNY Buffalo has certified him as having, other students have reason to be alarmed rather than to cheer his actions. This is because, rightly or wrongly, he is going to be judged as a graduate of this university. His failures, which I sincerely hope do not happen, would therefore have some negative impact on external judgements of the qualifications of our other students. The very fact that Mr. Candidus would resort to a personal attack in an effort to levy a parting shot in a situation where I frankly believe that he was given more than adequate redress is perhaps a cause for even greater alarm among his fellow students. Not only does it suggest that he lacks a grasp of accepted standards of ethical conduct, but the tone of his letter also suggests that he places an extremely low value on his education. This does not portend well for his future career or, by implication, the image of SUNY Buffalo: a similar reaction to a negative evaluation from a superior would quickly get him fired. Nor does the fact that Mr. Candidas was able to get his grade changed by appeal to a committee which has no known expertise in the subject area portend well for those capable students who form the vast majority of our student body. As I understand the case, the issue revolved around whether or not Mr. Candidus’ written performance was good enough to pass the course, normally a matter of the instructor’s judgement. The Accounting Professor attacked in Mr. Candidus* diatribe (incidentally, this Professor is known as an outstanding teacher and eminently fair person by both students and his colleagues) was in my opinion, absolutely right in refusing to alter the grade. That a committee would make such a change suggests a very dangerous precedent. Apparently a student deemed unqualified by his instructor, an expert in his area, can expect to get the judgement reversed. This greatly increases the likelihood that we will send incompentent persons into the world certified as SUNYAB graduates. This can only make matters more difficult for those who are really deserving of our degree. Brian T.

Finally Contributing R.C This week Fascination follows up on the Harrisburg by Robbie Cohen National Editor As the pressing emergency of the Three Mile Island nuclear accident fades from the front pages of America’s newspapers and the leading stories on our TV news programs, the great debate over the future of nuclear power in this country begins. Generally acknowledged as the worst accident in the history of U.S. nuclear power generation, the Harrisburg incident has spawned a half dozen Federal and Congressional investigations looking into the reasons, handling and ramifications of the Pennsylvania nightmare. Last Wednesday President Carter appointed a special eleven-membered commission to investigate the circumstances of the mishap and what it means for the overall safety of the 70 nuclear power plants operating nationwide. Presently about 13 percent of the nation’s electricity is generated by these reactor complexes, all of which are similar in design to the disabled Three Mile Island plant. John Kemeny, President of Dartmouth College and a leading computer scientist (Kemeny was a co-developer of the widely used “BASIC” computer language) heads the presidential panel which is scheduled to report back to Carter in six months. T j I liCJ emergency subsidies, gov’t probes underway Three Mile Island has sparked a welling of anti-nuclear sentiment nationwide. The last couple of weeks have seen scores of anti-nuke rallies across the country, while public opinion polls show that a majority of Americans now oppose the construction of atomic power plants in their area. After Harrisburg, people are no longer approaching atomic plant to the grief of the nuclear industry and its safety as a “given" powerful public relations and government lobbbing arms. - Terrible confusion A transcript released last week by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) revealed that the Federal agency was in the dark about details of the Three Mile Island accident for several days afterward. The utility company which operates the reactor, Metropolitan Edison, was reluctant to let the NRC know exactly what was going on, one of the reasons being that they were unsure themselves. No shutdowns Floored at the unexpected formation of a perilous bubble atop the reactor’s uranium core (a development which threatened to cut off the fuel rods from the reactor’s cooling system), they were at a complete loss as to how to deal with it. Conflicting statements emerging from the NRC and utility representatives regarding the danger of the situation created an atmosphere of terrible confusion. Initially, the NRC thought an evacuation of the million or so people within a 20-mile radius of the plant might be advisable, although it later appeared to have been The President, in announcing the formation of the panel last week, stressed that the commission’s findings will have an important bearing ‘The nuclear industry is an accident waiting to happen/ said Ralph Nader earlier this month at UB. He predicted that at least one core meltdown —the worst-case scenario for an atomic accident —will occur within the next ten unnecessary. NRC Chairman Thomas Hendrie compared his agency and the Met Ed utility in the transcript as two blind men stumbling around in the dark. It wasn’t until a week after the initial water pump failure that the mishap was stabilized and the experts assured they were sure that the danger was over years. on his administration’s future policies on nuclear energy. Earlier last week, however. Carter announced that the Three Mile Island incident should not and would not mean the abandonment of nuclear power as a crucial energy option. There will be no shutdown of existing plants, the President implied. The newly appointed independent commission could decide otherwise, though. Significantly, the panel contains no representatives of the nuclear industry. One of its members, Theodore B. Taylor, is known to be a vocal critic of the proliferation aspects of nuclear power development. Moreover, one of those named to the largely scholarly panel has no solid academic background whatsoever, she is a mother of six from Middletown, Pa., across the river from the stricken iTiree Mile Island Thus far, fears that the plant's radioactive emissions would contaminate milk produced by cows in the prosperous dairy region thereby ruining an economy which depends heavily on this industry have been quashed.

Although the commission has few nuclear physics experts, it is expected to be aided in its probe by a well funded staff of nuclear experts. According to The New York Times, the panel members are a remarkablyy open-minded group. Commission chairman Kemeny, admits he does not know whether the nation should be using nuclear power A meltdown in ten years Within the next few weeks the House sub-committee on Energy and Environment, headed by Morris Udall, should be convening a Congressional investigation of the Harrisburg incident. Two weeks ago when the threat of a meltdown of the reactor’s uranium fuel core was viewed as a conceivable outcome, Udall expressed hiS doubbs over whether the nuclear industry could survive the Pennsylvania scare. Speaking at UB’s Fillmore Room on Tuesday, April 3, consumer maverick Ralph Nader compared the nuclear industry to an apple with one bite taken out of it. A larger bite, such as a total meltdown, would doom the whole industry. Nader contended, sayyng, “The nuclear industry is an accident waiting to happen.” Nader predicted that at case scenario for an atomic least one core meltdown, the worst accident, will occur within the next ten years —FIO»» radioactive isotopes like Iodine 131, a toxin that accumulates in the food chain, sometimes can’t be measured adequately for many months following a release of radiation. Despite this, the NRC and the dairy industry, relying on initial samplings that show a normal base level of radioactivity, have declared the milk safe. But already, stores in the mid-West have begun posting signs saying, “We do not sell Pennsylvania milk.” �19-year history of nuclear Near Ramapo quake fault by Tom Buchanan I Angry citizens a steady downpour of rain, close to 1000 anti-nuclear protesters joined folksinger Pete Seeger last weekend at the gates to Consolidated Edison’s Indian generation at Contributing Editor demand reactor i shutdown at Indian River, N.

A third in reactor, (number one) designed by Babcock and Wilcox, is also owned by Con Edison, but was permanently shut down in 1974 due to cost considerations when Regulatory the Nuclear Commission (NRC) required the installation of an emergency core cooling system.

Leaving aside the kilowatt costs of operating a nuclear power plant, compared as to conventional power plants, let’s look at the cost of not operating them. It is far more expensive to shut down a nuclear power plant than a conventional plant even before the cost of disposal of radioactive materials is counted in. | lK Anti-nuclear activists are pointing at the Three Mile Island power plant disaster as the ultimate evidence for turning the tide against nuclear power and shutting down the nation’s entire nuclear network. But turning off the nuclear power switch may prove at least as difficult, and as dangerous, as the uncertain efforts to cool off Three Mile Island. For to contemplate such a, move is to confront one of the more tragic ironies of nuclear power: because of the huge cost of atomic reactors, the industry considers its economic commitment to nuclear power as irreversible as an uncontrolled meltdown. From the public point of the view, monetary cost and radiation monthly or quartc payments become du the plant is operating o The same is true, of conventional power less so.

These veterans, Cornwell said, live with a “sense of shame and guilt,” have been unable to readjust to civilian life, and are neglected by government agencies which are supposed to help them. John Moorman, an Air Force veteran, and Michael Daley, an Army veteran who spent a year in the stockade for disobeying orders to go to Vietnam, joined Beyer and Cornwell in their call for unconditional universal amnesty. The path which led Beyer to the Erie County pen began in 1968 when he refused to report for induction into the armed services and awaited arrest in the “symbolic sanctuary” of the Unitarian-Universalist Church in Buffalo. While Beyer raised his arms in surrender, the federal agents which had come to take him struck him twice. Beyer lost his temper, retaliated and was charged with assaulting a federal officer. In 1970, facing that prison term and other charges connected with his anti-war activities, Beyer went into exile in Canada and later in Sweden.. April I9th him when a more sympathetic political atmosphere against The time he chose was November of 1977 when he walked across the Peace Bridge with his attorney, Ramsey Clark. Federal Judge John T. Curtin subsequently set aside the original three year sentence because of a prevailed. “prejudicial” pre-sentence report on Beyer. On April 9 of this year Curtin re-sentenced Beyer to 30 days. Beyer will actually serve only 12 days because he had already spent 18 days in jail on the same charge in 1970. Beyer fears that the fact that he will do a stretch of time even as short as 12 days will discourage U.S.A. AT: Niagara Falls Blvd. 10 pm TIME: until - ? buses ) leaving at 9:45 pm sharp.

They wanted to believe that what the United States did in Vietnam was an aberration, a policy boo-boo, an example of a good country gone wrong. But those, like Bruce Beyer, who opposed the war and the draft, know that Vietnam was a true manifestation of how little the powerful people who run America care about peace, health and life. When Bruce Beyer gets out of jail he plans to lend his strength to that fight, whether it is against a new draft law or against nuclear power. On Monday, after the hungry newsgatherers had gone off in search of other stories, Beyer called his friends together and all held hands in a large circle. “1 just wanted to hold hands with all of you for a while. It gives me Beyer said that he was at both “a beginning and an end,” but it seemed like neither. It was merely an interlude. The gathering gave little evidence that a strong political movement was either germinating or bearing fruit. What Bruce Beyer’s career or the political movement of which he is a part will produce in the future seemed hazy as he walked down the sidewalk to the car which took him to jail. { INTRODUCTOR ) PRESENTATION: Wednesday, April 18th at 3:30 pin Room 106, O’Brien Hall Michael Erisch, Associate Professor of History and American Studies, SUNYAH, Fellow of International College, Spring. 1979.

Honestly, what odds would be given to a team that had only three days of outdoor practice in the waning week of March, for beat the number two rated Division I university in the country or the number one rated Division II school? To further complicate the odds, what if those teams arc located in favorable climates and already have 40 or so games under their belts? The optimists and the baseball Bulls of Buffalo took these complications, stuffed them in duffle bags and flew into Miami ready to test the arms and bats of the Florida powerhouses. The Division ! club, the team .University of Miami (UM), took the Bulls by the horns for all five of the scheduled contests. The skeptics would have loved one of the games, but might have left the other four wondering whether UM was playing below par or if the University of Buffalo might in fact, be a potentially dangerous team. Vs. Miami Six solid innings on the mound from Phil Rosenberg, combined with a Ron Couche two-run blast in the visitying seventh, placed the Bulls in a late game deadlock with the Hurricanes of UM in the swing’s opener. Greg in relief in the home Fisher, seventh, became the victim of his own wildness and a two-run error, sending the stocky righty and Buffalo down to defeat. The two clubs met again four days later in a bonafidc slugfest. Rosenberg once again started, Fisher once again lost. And again, the Bulls led going into the bottom of the seventh, primarily to the line-drive due manufacturing bat of senior Bull, John Pederson. The veteran back-stop and outfielder rapped a pair of doubles to drive in three runs to aid Buffalo in out-hitting Miami. But the heroics of Pederson became a small consolation in the end. Miami’s Kevin Kutner broke a six-all tie when he unloaded a clutch double with the bases full to help Miami to a final 10-7 win. Lefty Joe Hesketh allowed just two hits the next day, striking out five and allowing no earned runs in eight innings on the hill. UB cracked eight hits, including two by both Pederson and Couche. Two first inning Buffalo errors, however, ruined Hesketh’s bid for a win but kept his record of 17 innings without surrendering an unearned run in tact. Miami won, 3-0. Hesketh was reminded of the 3-0 nightmare the next time the Bulls took the field against Miami. Five unearned runs gave the sophomore his second defeat as the Bulls were rolled over in a 5-3 As in the three previous UB outhit the Obviously an Hurricanes. loss. encounters, Miami opportunistic group, jumped on a two-out infield error in the fifth inning, the preceded to score all five of their runs. For the skeptics only, the Hurricanes finally out-hit the Bulls last Saturday, and walloped the UB nine, 10-0. Florida International International Florida currently ranked number one in the NCAA Division II, gave the Bulls a couple University, the team final game, 3-2 Three over Howard Buffalo rounded out its Florida swing with three wins in four games over Howard University in D.C. Although Washington shutout in their only loss, the Bulls feasted on Howard pitching for 37 runs and 52 hits. Phil Ganci, Howard, and Couche (2) homered to pace the powerful attack. Buffalo’s performance south of border has coach Bill Monkarsh exuberantly praiaising his spring 1979 Bulls. The UB mentor was able to give the entire the of solid whippings, but in the end UB came away winning two of the team ample playing time, with the five games they played. morning Hesketh’s super performances schedule calling for day-night a and as practice to UM, not limited were 8-1 doubleheader daily. his by evidenced white-washing of the 33-7 FIU Freshman third baseman Gene nine.

Junior Jim Brenner gained five individual standards, and senior diver Mike Doran broke all four existing marks in his specialty to lead the Bulls’ assault on the record books. Brenner’s records came in the 200 freestyle (1:51.25); 500 free (5 02.6); 1000 free (10:52.87); 200 individual medley (2:05 6) and 400 1M (2:03.89). Doran, who competed in the NCAA Division 111 Championships in both his junior and senior years, shattered the diving marks in the one-meter required (184.7 points), one-meter optional (264 7), one-meter championship event (325,45) and three-meter championship (329.75). Other record setters for coach Bill Sanford’s team were junior Cesar Lopez, in the 200 breaststroke (2:22.43), and senior Chuck Niles in the 100 freestyle (50.07). Lopez also had the best time in the 100 breast (1 ;06). Niles, along with senior Tom Westner, freshman Bruce Koffsky and Brenner, smashed the 400-yard freestyle record (3:25.59). Niles, sophomore Asi Sveinsson, Koffsky and Brenner broke the 800 free mark (7:36.79). Koffsky swam the top time in the 100 butterfly (;58.65), and sophomore Tim Nash turned in the best 1650 freestyle (19: 10.99). In duel competition, Sanford’s 30th season as head coach, the Bulls Won-5, Lost-9 and placed seventh out of 11 schools represented at the State University of New York Athletic Conference (SUNYAC) relay Championships. » » � � » Final individual and team statistics for the 1978-79 varsity ice hockey season have been compiled, and four Bulls joined the ranks of all-time career scorers and assist leaders at UB. Senior Ed Patterson, a four-year regular and team captain in his senior season, is fifth on the all-time scoring list with 119 points, third in career assists with 75, and eight in career goals with 44. Junior left winger Tom Wilde led the Bulls in goals (31) and total points (54) and, with another season to play, already ranks fifth in career goals with 55 and sixth in career points with 110. Senior right winger Brien Grow finished as the number nine all-time scorer at UB with 92 points. Junior defenseman Rich MacLean is sixth in career assists with 68. Patterson’s 33 assists were high for the Bulls during the past season, and MacLean followed with 30. Patterson, an All-New York College Hockey Association (NYCHA) Second Teamer, and Grow were the only seniors on the ’78-79, so head coach Ed Wright can be optimistic about the future. Wright should be set in goal with two-year veteran Bill Kaminska ready for his senior year. Kaminska, recently selected as one of six goalies surviving Eastern Regional tryouts for the 1980 U.S. Olympic Team, has a 22-20 career won-lost record and a 4.5 goals allowed average Varsity Club's Superstar meet The newly-formed LIB Varsity Club, for members of intercollegiate athletic teams, will sponsor a “Superstars” competition as its first major project. The event, scheduled for Sunday, April 29, at the Amherst Campus, will feature competition between the various sports teams in football and softball throws, a basketball shoot, relay and obstacle races, a bicycle grand prix, golf shot for accuracy, softball hit for distance, and a tug-of-war. The competition will be held next to the Bubble, and in the event of rain, in the Bubble, with a hockey shoot replacing golf, a skateboard instead of bicycle race, and frisbee throw instead of softball hit. Each varsity team will enter a designated number of athletes in each event, which will be scored, the team with the most points declared the 1979 champion. That team name will be inscribed on a plaque to hang in the new Varsity Club lounge at Clark Hall on the Main Street Campus. Students are invited to attend the competition as spectators. The club plans to make the competition an annual event. Team captains are responsible for signing up members of their respective squads to compete. A party for the athletes will follow the competition. Budding organization The event was adopted as a major project by members of the Club’s Executive Varsity Committee, made up of six team captains: Ron Couche, baseball; Sue Fulton, bowling; Holly Helfrich, field hockey; Kerry Kulisek, softball; John Pedersen, baseball, and Tony Smith, basketball. Team captains for all sports have attended several organizational meetings over the past two months. Complete organization, including the election of officers, is planned for the Fall semester. Among club goals are the promotion of the athletic program within the University and in the community, establishment of an athletic awards program, contribution to the positive growth of the University, and availability of funds to member teams in emergency situations. Qualifications for membership include good standing with a varsity intercollegiate athletic team a varsity letter or participation for one full season. r* tefQ tm ■ 10% OFF Every Purchase of $2 Iwith I FOR HAIR or more! coupon) CHINESE FAST FOOD 3118 Main Street * IAcross from Sign of The Steer) J 837-6776 3 WEST NORTHRUP PLACE (Next to Granada) PHONE 833-1944 FOR AN APPOINTMENT Open Mon. — Sat. from . 11:00 am to 8:00 pm (Coupon expiref April 30, ’79) | SUMMER SESSION STUDENTS The REGISTRATION GUIDE AND CLASS SCHEDULE fo' the 1979 Summer Sessions has listed erroneously the offerings for the First Summer Session for the Department of Geography under the heading'FRESHMAN At two-and-one-half hours old, this boy doesn’t care that Army Nurses are caring for him.

The program will be given at the University’s field station near Buffalo in the Summer of 1979. t This special program is designed for students interested in the interaction between man and his environment, and all students with such interests should feel welcome. It should be clear that this program is not solely for anthropology and/or archaeology students. It is specifically organized to allow students the opportunity to do intensive field research. Students will be expected to participate in the programs’ integrated research program, develop and execute their own independent research projects based upon their field data, and learn field methods. Field work combined with related lectures and library study should create the breadth and experience of the best academic research. The results of the field work will be published and students must be willing to commit themselves to writing, editing, and participating in the publication.

Some students have claimed that two of the questions on the survey may lead students to choose optional abortion coverage over mandatory coverage. However, only four of the 57 questions on the Health Insurance survey deal with the question of abortion coverage. The presidentially appointed UB Advisory Committee has nearly completed the survey, which is to be a key factor in its decision to either recommend or reject the inclusion of abortion coverage in the 1979-80 policy. Sub Board, the policy holder, has already declared its support for the mandatory coverage next year, but the student services corporation must eventually get University approval of the entire plan. According to Linda Sudan of Women’s Studies College (WSC), the criticism of the survey centers on the wording of question 52 which outlines a main argument of the UB Rights of Conscience group add question 53, which uses the term conscientious objectors which has been linked to that same group. Repressive The Rights of Conscience group, while identifying itself as neither pro-life nor pro-choice, has come out vehemently against the mandatory coverage, preferring an optional plan. Question 52 reads: “A$ you may know, some UB students feel that paying for abortion coverage is against their conscience. How do you feel the insurance policy should handle those students who want the insurance but feel the abortion coverage is against their conscience?” Jane Archer, a student, said the question i*. “repressive” given the phraseology and told WSC about it. Sudano felt the wording predisposes someone to answer for the optional coverage, especially if the respondent has no set opinion. “I can word this so people would agree to my point of view right away,” Sudano asserted. “The survey should be considered invalid and stopped.” Survey creator Robert O’Shea admitted “There's. always -tha-possibilky-of: bias*”, -but-added — commented. — -■ - - _ - - McGUINN, CLARK & criticism of the Health Insurance Advisory Committee’s telephone sampling has cast doubts on the survey’s ability to accurately gauge opinion of the mandatory abortion coverage now included in Sub Board I’s student Health Insurance - - ' “on this particular issue, I went the extra mile to ' develop consensus on the wording.” Sub Board Chairman Jane Baum confirmed that the wording was screened by Sub Board Executive Director Dennis Black, Director of Campus Health Services M. Luther Musselman, and herself, all members of the Advisory Committee. Baum said she did not like tlje question (52) but claimed she “couldn’t come up with a fair question” at the time. The survey was prepared, Baum said, before the March 8 Open Forum that clarified the stands of both key parties the Rights of Conscience group and the Coalition for Abortion Rights and Against Sterilization Abuse (CARASA). Baum, whose vote broke a 4-4 tie in Sub Board’s decision to again include the mandatory coverage, said she would contend the validity of the question before the Advisory Committee when the results are analyzed. The Committee is “very flexible and open minded,” according to Baum, who is confident it will see her point. “I sense that they’re not too happy with the (Sub Board) decision,” Baum said, “But I’m not worried.” Sudano however was not as confident. “She (Baum) may not be worried, but we are," Sudano Editor HILLMAN APRIL 26 E.C.C.

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

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

Assistant Director of Housing Gary Soehner said his office has talked with Doty and Snyder about the desirability of having RA’s in singles.

Last September some 300 freshmen were without dorm space and officials fear the problem will worsen next semester. “I think the situation will be severe enough in September to warrant the opening of 68 beds at the expense of a single for RA’s,” said Snyder. Snyder, however, also expressed a preference for singles. While 68 beds might hot seem like many, at this point Snyder is willing to take anything he can get. “To bring as many people who wish housing into the dorms is a positive result that should be stained,” Snyder said.

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

Poetry readings, lectures, international cultural events, classical and folk concerts, outdoor recreational activities, films, folk dancing, craft workshops, coffee houses, experimental theatre performances and an excursion to Artpark should provide students with an exciting and enjoyable summer “vacation”.

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

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

Mayersohn noted that several have been plans the including implemented, various information days held in be drafted for students, outlining everything that they are entitled to, and then having President Ketter and the College Council endorse it.

Student representative to the College Council Michael Pierce, who is running unopposed for a second term in office, delivered an emotional speech, urging students to get involved in the University, and to stand up against the administration. rule on theft of Monday’s The Spectrum issue Several hundred copies of Monday’s issue of The Spectrum were removed from the first floor table in Squire Hall early that morning and thrown in the trash dumpster outside the building’s basement door. The copies werife later found by a newspaper to guard the table against employee who had been possible theft. The Spectrum had received numerous tips through the proceeding week that a group of politically active students would attempt to prevent copies "of The SpectrulfT'from reaching the student body. The issue contained a special SA election supplement, which included candidate endorsements. The Spectrum reported the theft to the Department of Public Safety. According to investigator Frank Panek, three students, Michael Levinson, Michael Schwartz and Michael Niman, will be brought before tbf Student Wide Judiciary (SWJ) in connection with the removal of the papers.

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

Right now, families are evacuating their homes; some of them having nowhere to go. Citizens of the Buffalo area have already mobilized to offer beds to these people. Groups like the West Valley Coalition, NYPIRG, and the Sierra Club, which have been very active in influencing legislation concerning the safety and location of nuclear waste storage in Western New York, have shifted thenenergies to helping the people of Harrisburgh, Pennsylvania. Currently a list of available beds is being drawn up to be sent to Pennsylvania so that more may evacuate their homes if needed.

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

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

Thus, potential RA’s could then enter the lottery should Doty refuse to reverse his decision. Those who refuse the job can also enter the returning lottery.

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

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

Contrary to popular belief, the Three Mile Island Reactor is not housed in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, but in the miniscule village of Londonderry just outside of Middletown. (The Bubble almost gone Associated Press office is locoted in Harrisburg.)

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

There are now 70 active nuclear power plants in the U.S. with 90 under construction, an overall average of more than'three for every state in the union. Nearly every major American city is within 50 miles of at least one. Chicago is ringed with them, as is, to a lesser extent, New York City.

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

Presently, just 12.5 peicent of US electricity is nuclear generated by the 72 reactors in operation. According to a recent FEderal study, nuclear energy can never make a significant contribution to the world’s energy supplies, and can only marginally trim fossil fuel imports. The comprehensive report by the Arms Control and Agency, Disarmament an independent group, stresses that improved efficiency of existing fuel sources, and enactment of conservation methods, are the most viable ways to deal with future energy needs. Americans waste an estimated 50 percent of the energy produced here. Aging accelerated Nuclear scientists justify radioactive power source that it is less dangerous to human health and the natural environment than the fossil fuels we now employ. “Nuclear power parries only one percent of the hazards of coal power,” Chon said.

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

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

His long ADMINISTRATIVE ASSISTANT jUu University of Pennsylvania, Papoulis is now completing his second year in Buffalo. Although he enjoyed his stay at Penn, he said that his main reason for transferring to UB was a change in his major. Papoulis’ father was a prime factor in his decision to leave Penn and switch careers, as he had been told that it was important to do “what you er\j4y doing most in life.” range goal is to go into studio writing. But Papoulis expects to do most of his playing at midfield this year, Jvhere he will be joined by fellow co-captain Craig Kirkwood and Bob Spendle. The trio will also do most of the coaching, as Perry Hansen, last year’s mentor, left his post for Middlebury College of Vermont. Two local products, Steve and Dave Haney, will constitute another important part of the offense. Other returning attack men are Ken Cohen and William Higgs. Paul Ritondo, a first year law student, will by joined on defense by Jim Szkotak, and juniors Bruce Hofstrander and Frank Fischeditch. Papoulis is expecting a successful season for the lacrosse squad. “We have a lot of good stickwork, and are shooting for an undefeated season,” he revealed. “The worst we should finish is 8-4. A lot of experienced Long Islanders and determined Western New Yorkers should be an excellent combination for us.” The team will be put to the test of his words in front of the home crowd on Friday, April 20, when Buffalo hosts Slippery Rock Bruce Gallop State. - Frisbee teams compete, Cornell remains champ A round-robin ultimate frisbee tournament was held by SUNY at Binghamton this past eekend that saw five New York State teams test each other, along with an entry from Connecticut. The defending national champions, Cornell, showed why its team is number one, decisioning every team they faced. The hosts had tried to schedule five games for March 31, but time and energy did not allow it, despite the availability of three fine . outdoor fields. 1 UB got off to a slow start against a well-disciplined Cornell squad, and after trailing 6-1 at half time, wound up losing 13-3. UB’s second game was a very tight contest with Ithaca College, which Ithace won 14-13 by stalling away the final seconds. With Steve Kluga and Greg Kurtz repeatedly hooking up on scoring tosses, UB held an 11-10 lead with four minutes remaining. After falling behind by one, UB knotted the score at 12 when Randy West made a fine catch in the end zone. But the lack of practicing on a full-sized field looks its toll UB tired and was mipped at the gun. Due to leg injuries to the irreplaceable Steve Paiewonsky and Gene Pien, the third match against Syracuse University was played without the benefit of substitution. After talcing the field chanting ‘Their dome is our doom!,” UB opened a quick 3-0 lead, but was tied at the half, 7-7. Khiga was UB’s outstanding performer throughout the contest, but the team was unable to keep up with the pace, and finally succumbed, 15-10. - 3 — Too tired By the end of its third game UB had five barely able players (UB dressed nine altogether) and was forced to pick up some of Binghamton’s extra players (in order to complete a seven-man team) and played an exhibition game against the hosts. UB’s play showed a marked improvement, and with a complete contingent could have recorded its first win of the season. If its depleted treasury can finance it, UB will compete in another tourney in the near future. The dub also plans to sponsor a Frisbee Games Day, which will indude various events, such as frisbee golf, distance events, and freestyle and ultimate demonstrations. The club encourages one and all to come out and support the team sport of the future. �I N) by Cartos Vallarino Assistant Sports Editor UB doesn t have field facilities or an adequate running track, but it oes a varsitV ar*d field team both a men’s and a women’s at was recent ly (two years ago) a club sport is now a full e ged varsity activity. Although the team is composed mostly of tresnmen and sophomores it has some established talent. Richard Bell, the men’s and women’s coach, accepted that his athletes this season are not of Olympic caliber, but he was confident - , ”" j UB varsity . In this respect, the women’s team is better equipped to attract prospective members. Just as with the men’s side, there are several talented competitors out there in the UB nether land, but they are more willing to “come out of the closet” and get involved. “Women’s track runners in high school prefer to come to college for other reasons, not a track program,” Bell revealed. “So these (UB) women who suddenly realize that there is a track program will try out.” Barbara Nulty will be the driving force behind the female squad that his young group given time will develop into top flight competitors. “By and large, it is a very young team," emphasized Bell. But they are the type who have real big potential, and who will be excellent in their junior and senior years.” - - track and Youth is the word, but there are a handful of already outstanding “The seniors deserve some recognition,” Bell pointed out. “They in a way have built the track program here.” Only three out of the 25 members of the men’s team are fourth-year students, and they have come out for track ever since it was merely a club sport.

The outdoor team can point to its strengths with pride. “We have hurdles runners, plus good middle distance runners,” Bell said. But the coach sustained that there is a lot of fine talent around campus that just refuses to4ry out for the squad. The reasoning behind these unknown stars’ refusal to join the team is that they have come to UB for its academic reputation, not to participate in its young track pfogram. good sprints and More unknowns T “Your typical high school athlete has one of two attitudes,” explained Bell. “He/she either will or won’t compete in college.

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

The Nugget File was uncovered by the Union of blazes. Early Friday morning a fire was started at a loading dock in Capen Hall (on the academic spine) assumed to be the work of the persons who have been igniting small blazes at EUicott-over the past few weeks. According to the Director of the Department of Public Safety Lee Griffin, “The trash fire in Capen caused minimal structural damage, but we have reason to believe that it is the same party which has been setting fires out at Ellicott.” He added that the Capen fire occurred within 40 minutes of another incident of less significance at O’Brien, also on the academic spine. The Getzville Fire Department assisted Campus Security in putting out the Capen fire. -Smith 4 * Concerned —continued on oaqe 2 of Amherst Campus fires A steady string of arson fires at the Amherst tightened Campus has frighteded residents, dormitory regulations and forced the Department of Public Safety to bolster patrols in an effort to catch a male/female team suspected of starting the RASH OF AMHERST ARSONS: Getzville firemen responded Friday morning to another in a recant series of small blazas at the Amherst Campus, this one at the Capon Hall loading dock.

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

Chon, however, maintains that the NRC is “very strict,” citing six unannounced visits to the campus reactor in as many months, “The nuclear industry has been tightly Harrisburg . from page 1 . from the beginning," Chon declared. “We have well-established radiation standards.

Nuclear and technologists proponents constitute a cult so “fanatical,” Bross remarked, “that they are willing to sacrifice people, to take casualties.” Meanwhile, Chon feels that media accounts of the Harrisburg accident have been “slightly exaggerated,” and that the public continues to be “overly sensitive”, to the reported dangers of nuclear power. —continued from page 1 .

The pump breakdown in the non-nuclear part of the plant led to a failure of the nuclear reactor cooling system which was then flooded by monitoring technicians when they discovered that the core temperature was rising rapidly. However the technicians werennable to close these water valves and this led to an escape of radioactive steam. The reactor housing is being subjected to enormous stress and pressure due to steam formation. Efforts are being directed at relieving this pressure by slowly letting off this steam. Apparently, a worked mistakently shut down the entire cooling system upon observing a 8:30 pm 4:30 pm — — — — — — possibly damaging to dividing cells. As of press time, President Carter was en route to Harrisburg to inspect the site and reassure residents. Most of the inhabitants of Goldsboro, the town across from the plan on the Susquehanna River, have fled. Since Wednesday the Harrisburg incident has been characterized by conflicting statements and reports regarding both the potential dangers and day to day developments. Initially officials of the Metropolitan Edison Company, the utility, that runs the reactor, reported that the situation was localised and under control. However, subsequent radioactive emissions and complications in cooling the reactor’s core quickly silenced these claims. The NRC took complete control of the plant from the private utility Saturday, and is now handling all the relief effort. Men and material's continue to be rushed to the beleaguered reactor site.

If passed by the State Senate, the bill, sponsored by Whitestone), will apply only to Leonard Stavisky (D elementary and secondary public schools not - - Universities. t t an Asbestos has been linked to mensothelioma incurable lung cancer in addition to cancers of the throat, stomach, colon and rectum. explained thait a similar measure is currently being considered by Congress. He told The Spectrum that the parallel bill, which currently is in mark-up (exact wording is being debated) will provide for matching funds from the Federal government. Assemblyman Stavisky told The Spectrum this is the! first bill in the nation dealing with the State’s involvement in examining potential asbestos dangers. He explained that one reason the bill does not cover higher education is that colleges lack the uniformity of public school districts, making implementation more difficult. Furthermore, Stavisky noted, his committee does not have jurisdiction over higher education. But he said, “We hope to gain valuable experience and to share it with other public Local look buildings.” - - The bill mandates on-site inspections by local school officials based on written and photographic material that will be supplied by the State along with corresponding repairs, if deemed necessary.

Parker ' Cavages closing may alter Co-op defense With the dosing of University Plaza’s Cavages Record Store, the future of the Student Record Coop and its defense against a lawsuit brought by Carl Cavage, appears unclear. President of the Coop Alan Stein told The Spectrum that there are two possible effects of the store’s sudden Cavages closing; either the case will be moot since Cavages will no longet by competing directly with the Coop, or Cavage may claim that the student Coop contributed to his store going out of business. The lawsuit, brought by Cavage over two years ago, claims that the Coop is unfair competition (against his University Plaza branch) because the Coop is on State property and does not have to pay taxes therefore limiting the CoOp’s overhead and album prices. The Coop has maintained that it is a student service and therefore holds a legitimate role — on campus. Following the suit brought by Cavages. University President Robert L. Ketter imposed a financial ceiling on the Coop’s inventory and sales. Stein said that he is planning to meet with Ketter “as soon as possible” to discuss lifting the ceiling. Doubt it The Coop, Stein noted, has wanted to extend its operating budget in "order to expand its inventory, cope with inflation, and lower its prices. Coop Vice President Andrew Blumenthal maintains that last semester, “Ketter told us he had to re-evaluate the Blumenthal remarked, “Now we think it is the appropriate time to re-evaluate those limits.” Assistant to the President Ron Stein said that Ketter has not been approached by the Coop following the Cavages’ closing.

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

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

Professor Newman’s resort to the world of practice, before the issue of policy is resolved, demonstrates not only the futilility but the danger of that procedure. Once we begin to exchange “atrocity-stories” about flawed courses, surely Professor Newman does not used a In addition to the distinction and relationship Tolstoy College between theory and me for Master Robert Newman chides misapprehending (The Spectrum 3/23/79), several other things came as a result of the humanistic education he questions In my case: 1) sufficient respect for clarity to represent an opposing viewpoint accurately before coming to grips with it; 2) sufficient understanding and training in rhetoric to distort that argument without seeming to, if that is preferred; 3) sufficient exposure to the systematic evaluation of moral behavior to consider such distortion reprehensible; 4) sufficient reflectiveness about the relationship between grammar (theory) and writing (practice) not to use an adjective like “intimate” with a noun like “distinction”. By these standards at least, Professor Newman’s humanistic education is, in practice, a net failure. However, my abiding faith in the theoretical value of the in what they should and can humanities is in no sense diminished. He need not, accomplish in short, “close up shop and sell Anacin” (Sell Anacin?) just because neither he nor 1 happen to live up to the ideal, unless of course he feels that he has missed his true calling. In case it escaped anyone’s notice, when Professor Newman, addressing himself to my remarks on disciplinary monitoring of course offerings, writes “Dean Peradotto admits that such a guild system is only an ‘ideal,’ and one which many departments fall short of in practice,” he has distorted what 1 said the Colleges might indeed.assert into something admitted by me. Secondly, he makes this out to be a matter of who judges the “intellectual validity” of a particular course. He needs to be reminded that it is not intellectual but disciplinary validity which is at issue. To question the disciplinary validity of a course is not necessarily to question its intellectual validity. But the main bone of contention between Professor - Newman and myself is over the use of theory (or policy) and practice as determinants of — — expect the Colleges alone to go unscathed. At that game nobody wins. 1 doubt if Professor Newman’s atrocity-story about one student’s experience in one Psychology course cannot be matched by one or more such stories about Colleges courses. For my part, none of these stories would shake my faith m either the discipline of Psychology or the legitimacy of the Colleges, unless of course 1 became convinced nof by casual hearsay or isolated horror-stories, but by the kind of evidence that satisfies a mind trained to critical discrimination by humanistic education that such stories represented the rule rather that the exception. It is saddening that Professor Newman and certain other advocates of the Colleges appear to be so misguided as to believe that the only way to enhance the virtues of the Colleges is to enlarge upon the vices of departments. That is not only an uncivil tactic, but a self-defeating one, for it will end by disenchanting those of us’whose support of the Colleges does not involve ill feeling toward departments or traditional disciplines. It bewilders me that the Colleges have yet to develop the proper theoretical alternative to my interpretation of the distribution requirement. To do so would go far in re-establishing the intellectual credibility of the Colleges, severely eroded by their most recent spokesmen, and in convincing the Senate that the present distribution requirement should be altered. In my eyes that alternative argument is crystal-clear, and, although it is the responsibility and obligation of the Colleges to develop it, I grow so restive at its delay that 1 am tempted to produce it myself and to send it to The Spectrum anonymously. — - ' John Peradotto Dean, DUE ex l le^n by Jay Rosen As this is written, there are the elements for the ultimate nuclear disaster brewing inside the thick concrete walls of a reactor about 200 miles away in Harrisburg, Pa. The very real chance, however remote, that the humans monitoring the radioactive mess inside the Three Mile Island nuclear power plant will lose control of the reaction and trigger a core melt down has, for me, erased all doubts about where we should be headed 'with nuclear power. (And all doubts about the topic for this week’s column.) 1 am quite convinced that history is being made right now; although 1 am not at all sure about how this country will respond to the kind of a scare that has no parallels, no standards, nothing against which to breathe a little easier in comparison. have I always marveled, and often been repulsed, at how America responds to tragedy with the urge to, in very spedivid ways, prevent it from happening again leaving aside the larger questions of the societal framework in which tragedies'occur. Thus, when political leaders are assasinated, the calls go out for stricter gun control. When 900 Americans execute themselves, the crips are for tighter regulations of religious cults. When coal mines collapse, safety standards must be examined. This media-magnified process of stimulus/response dispenses with a rigid examination of societal context. Instead, we tend to search for instant-cures for these abberations of humanity and technology, for these quirks that at the very most, tell us something has gone wrong in the country. Never do we view catastrophe as the product of some attitude we trust, as our own unwitting creation or as the side effect of something ordinarily considered good and pure. The “accident” in Harrisburg is just that, the product of a system that allowed risks unparalleled — human history to be managed by corporations that musytxiTn a profit. Nuclear power is, in my view, a menacing energy source by itself. But to even partially hand over its development and maintenance to corporate America is to create an insolvable dilemma. There is no way, ultimately, to safety and profit. They are competing maximize concerns opposite ends and managerial rivals. One must be ed b Ve ,hC , 0ther if ot as a P ollc V then in H the day-to-day reality of operating nuclear power. This is such a simple concept that 1 am surprised it is not discussed more often. Tfhagine a slight but in r * ° ' * significant defect in the cooling system of a nuclear reactor. The company can shut plant for tests, play it safe and lose thousands of dollars an hour. Or it can continue to operate, waiting until there are enough small problems to investigate them all at once' and thus be cost-effective. Someone a — plant manager, shift supervisor, company technician has to make that value judgement: safety or — efficiency? Now - __ you can .tell me that the Nuclear Regulatory Commission will more often than not make that decision for them. You can tell me that power companies aren’t stupid and, in serious cases, will not ignore danger. You can even tell me that the men who make these decisions have social consciences of their own. But you cannot tell me that at some time, at one of the 70 nuclear plants in this country, some manager of some company did not chose cost efficiency over plant safety and, in a subconscious way, value money over human life. It is inevitable. It has happened. It will happen again. The corporate mentality insures it. This is not another way of saying, 1, Yes there is risk involved in nuclear power.” This is a magnification of risk, an extra variable, a multiplier that must.be taken into account when calculating the chances of a nuclear disaster and when musing over accidents like Harrisburg. And this extra variable has, as its worst imaginable result, the kind of destruction that no other industrial danger can even begin to threaten. So the questions we should be asking do not end with technology and our ability to control it. 1 don’t even think they begin there. We are faced with a political question: who, if anyone, should handle the risks of nuclear power risks that are absolutely unique among any industrial process or energy source? The present system ha$ helped to mutate the danger to human life into an abstract, managerial factor to be balanced against other abstracts like probability tables and profit margins. 1 heard a television commentator explain this weekend that, after the most serious nuclear accident ever, the issue is not will we proceed with nuclear power, but when will we judge the risks small enough? ‘ He made the mistake that we always make in evaluating catastrophe. (The issue now, in the wake of Harrisburg, is not: what are the risks and can we afford them? But rather: can we afford to let corporations decide that question for us? — - �'daymondayrr^ JIT feedback H y (0 SOAF to protest I his Tuesday hef W SC faculty Senate meeting.

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

Although several candidates requested and were granted extensions to the 10:00 p.m. Tuesday act in a responsible manner in dealing with the administration SA must be more responsive to the students.

What general themes and specific ideas should be incorporated into the rewritten document and what role should the President play in its formation? 2) The fact that a question has been asked of the Presidential candidates concerning a new constitution is indicative of the political nature of SA. SA, if it js to be successful, must be sure that its leadership does not get imbedded in political power struggles a situation that has happened with alarming regularity in the past. It must be remembered that SA is not a government but an association and this concept must be reflected in a new constitution. A new constitution must have a representative legislative body which will have its own leadership.

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

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

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

As through the voice of their elected representatives, 1 would, as SA President, convene a constitutional assembly for the forth a new of bringing purposes Constitution. Such an assembly would be open to all students who would present a petition of seventy-five (75) signatures. Such an assembly would expand or to student in proportion contract participation, a healthy measure of students and their concerns.

Simplicity is of the utmost importance. Once again, I emphasize the role of President should be one of moderator, of coequal partner, providing a sense of direction. The next SA President must correct the imbalances caused by too many strong” Presidents who have ignored the co-participation of the legislative process. And consequently have insulted and ignored the potential of students to engage in their self governance. Executive Vice President Glenn Abolafia 1) What do students truly want out of their student government that they are not now getting? How will you attack these problems? 1) Poly-Unsaturated was created, not to offer definitive statements on a ctfurse of action for SA, but to pose serious questions about decision-making processes, where power lies, etc. in other words, what are the implications of the present student government structure. We are a low-cholesterol diet plan that will help to prevent heart disease, nervous disorders, mental degradation, etc., among university students. We feel that the entire SA structure is having an adverse effect on student’s mental and physical health. SA, in our dialectical, historical analysis, has proven to be an irrelevenl and incompetent organization. It is also an - ineffective, moot political structure in dealing with the mobilization of a broad based student political movement that would confront both university and societal issues and historical trends and relationships. We cite the lack of input in University dehision-making processes such as the General Education ruckus, tuition hike, investment in South Africa, etc. as proof. SA, as an organizational apparatus, by its very nature, entertains parochial interest battles and a leadership cult of personality. This supposedly democratic Parliamentarism simply reinforces traditional gaps in the power structure, i.e. a complete separation of powers between the executive and senatorial functions. In addition, it reinforces a structural hierarchy where power is concentrated at the top -and remains there, besides the continual evolution of a bureaucratic apparatus. Poly-UNSATURATED politics is decentralized unity embracing individual and group interests in motion with broad student involvement in university and societal questions. Our election will enable us to attain centralized power, enter a be ushered in. Access to the political party requires the fulfillment of an obligation to vote on various referendums, the results of which will give direction to student political energy (a new Social Contract). Students! Arise from you All Kafkaesque, dreamlike insanity! Prevent Big Brother from reaching puberty! Input your interests to output! Make “To be or not to be” a philosopher’s absurdity! We are!

You all have something to say, something that’s eating you up, something that’s making you a fucked-up neurotic. Release bound energy into creative potential! Don’t accept Kapitalist status quo (that’s an atUstorical, positivist approach). Change it! Students (and we invite grads, TA’s, GA’s, Faculty, workers, etc. to join us), organize your interests with other students having similar interests. Discussion and action; theory and practice will ensue. Talk about grievances, academic 'or otherwise, political or apolitical, reform or revolution, frustrations, hang-ups, inevitability of misery. 2)• How the Senate the traditional gadp between which is supposed to broadly represent student interests and the SA officers who do most of the day-to-day work in the government be bridged? 2) Evolving around the concept of a political party (free beer bash, sun-soak, entertain yourself and others, search for Orgonc. etc.), another historical phase will can ". — - - — confronted. 2) How can the traditional gap between the Senate which is supposed to broadly and the SA represent student interests officers who do most of the day-to-day work in the government be bridged? 2) The first step in bridging the gap between the executive committee and the student Senate should be to get the Senate to feel they are functioning as a group rather than just as an assortment of — — - By reforming the SA government into a Democratic Collective, one would eradicate the power monopolies which are inherent to the current system. This act would alleviate the voting discrepancies amongst the various SA organizations who are represented in the present Senate by creating an Electoral voting procedure the norm, thus making the student government much more of a student run affair. I feel that it is time that the SA becomes a truly student oriented forum instead of the paradox that it is. — 2) How can the traditional gap between the Senate which is supposed to broadly represent student interests and the SA who do most of the day-to-day officers work in the government be bridged? 2) The chasm between the two current power structures of SA (namely the Senate and the Executive Officers) would be spanned by our proposed SA Congress. The Congress would be composed of two separate branches: the Executive Committee and the Congress. The Executive Committee, consisting of the eleven elected plus officials, six — - — — Congresspersons chosen by their peers from the Congress (on a regular basis, thus giving all equality to serve the students more fully). The Congress itself will be based on an Electoral voting system (as 1 mentioned before, this will give more of a direction, action. Teach each other, encounter, share!

All councils are responsible not only to their particular interests, but through the steering committee they are accountable to each other. Autonomy The plan: think about it! Discuss it! Debate it! Alter it! It’s all up to you (for a change)!!! Doug Floccare 1) What do students truly want out of their student government that they are not now getting? How will you attack these problems? 1) I think that the first thing students want from student government is to know that their student mandatory fee money is being spent wisely. They would like to know just what SA does with over $800,000. In the past process of allocating this money has generally been far removed from the average student and has been, rather, in the hands of a few individuals. The only student input on the matter came from the lobbying of a handful of student clubs and organization.' I feel that the individual student should have more of an opportunity to express his opinion as to what groups or projects should receive increased (or decreased) funding. I also feel that SA should seek out opinions through such methods as surveys, open forums on the budget, advertised open office hours and by just walking around and talking to people about transitional phase, and diffuse power to a grassroots based student movement. The accumulation of government invokes the not want to come in. It all basically comes down to letting people know that you are interested in their ideas, and telling them when and where they can get in touch with you. If in this way the student government could be informed of matters deserving their attention, the situations could be it. Another thing that is expected of student government is that they deal with problems that face the average student. I feel that many important issues have been neglected thus far. One prime example of this is the insufficiency of Emergency First-Aid coverage at this University. With a daytime population of over 26,000 people, UB truly needs some concrete form of Emergency Medical Coverage; hoWevej, SA had not even dealt with this issue until I, as a concerned student, started to work on it last semester. The reason SA has not confronted certain problems is perhaps because they did not know about them. 1 would therefore try to make student government more accessible. Up until now they have been kind of hidden away in a corner of Talbert Hall. There are several ways to amake SA more approachable; SA officers could first of all have small scale meetings with students in the dorms, cafeterias, lounges, etc. Advertised office hours could be set up when the executive officers would be in to discuss any new ideas or problems, and a specific phone number could also b? designated fox those who did individual club representatives. In the past the Senate has not had the attitude that they were all working towards a similar goal, or even that they held any sort of common philosophy.. Rather, it has been more a battle of the special interest groups seeing who could get the most for their particular organization. An important step in unifying the Senate would be to have them elect a leader, or a "speaker of the senate,” to act as a liason between them and the executive committee. This person could even be a member of the executive committee. He could help organize the Senate so that they could meet and discuss their feelings and strategies on certain issues before the time came to vote on it. In the past student Senates, Senators did not know about many pieces of legislation until they were proposed to be voted on. In helping to alleviate this situation I feel it would be necessary for the Executive Committee officers to have frequent meetings with small groups of senators to let them know what is going on, and to find out what their opinions are. Before new pieces of major legislation are brought up the executive officers should call each senator and discuss the particular proposal with him. If the senators can be kept informed in this way, and a good rapport with the Executive Committee can be established, then I feel there will be little or no gap between the two bodies. Pat Van Alstyne —1) What do their student students truly want out of government that they are not How will you attack these now getting? problems? 1) I believe that UB want to see the issues at students do not hand, such as the Springer Report, monopolies, Mandatory Fees, and distribution credit for the Colleges circumvented by our elected officials who are supposedly looking out for the' welfare of the student body, but in reality pursuing distinct private ambitions. I also realize that if various fractions of the SA Senate are primarily guarding their 'unofficial acquisition of power and retribution, the general UB public will wither into an ever-deepening apathetic abyss, which in turn will cause the Senate to lose whatever student cohesiveness it may still possess. student government, one in which they can place their faith in, one in which they can look at and feel that their representatives are serving them in the most beneficial manner possible. A student government that is nrjt torn apart by internal bickering. To be able to decrease the lethargy and the incessant power struggles I purport that the SA Senate be restructured into the SA Congress (for more on this, read the • Presidential statement number one Rossett of the Force Party). by Ben fair deal to Independents as well as the numerous other SA organizations). As I also mentioned, the Executive Committee will be composed of the eleven elected officials plus the six rotating Congresspersons. This in itself will greatly unify the two bodies. The six Congresspersons will aid in the making of executive decisions and policy making. Also by having she Congressional representatives within the Executive Committee, we will be limiting the powers of the elected officers (thus eliminating the chances of power monopolies in the Committe.e itself). It s a sy stem in which the Congress and Executive Committee will have to cooperate in, because it’s purely and wholly a system of checks and balances which will be integrated within the basicform of our proposed Democratic Collective government. Vice President for Sub Board I Barbara Hilliard ' 1 and 2) How can the student health insurance policy be tailored more toward student needs and how would you have voted on the controversial abortion coverage? What potential Sub Board service would you pick out as the most important to develop next year and how would you go about it? 1 and 2) The policy could be improved if the students were allowed to obtain eye glasses, Cosmetic surgery and complete protection for injuries due to participation in a riot. Better coverage also is needed for abortion; injuries sustained while a passenger in an aircraft and for sickness contracted while in the armed forces of any country.

There should be no r for medical in this era where inflation has forced the cost of medical services to skyrocket. ■ expenses, especially ceiling �On tht abortion issue, would have voted yes, because 1 believe each student should be able to decide on whether or not to participate ,in the insurance plan.

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

The increased development of Worlds will also be a matter of priority, since it is already well developed and can potentially become a very important publication within this University. The entire Health Care Division, as in the student health insurance policy, would benefit from increased publicity of its services, and since these are all already well-run services, it is especially important for students to take advantage of them. By taking a more active role in each division, the VP for Sub Board can insure that the student services corporation will provide services that the students both want arid use. majority. My priority is to make sure that all the funds are properly managed under the auspices of UUAB. Every financial matter will be above board and the financial records will be available for inspection by any student. I’m always open for suggestions from any student. I am not above criticism and I welcome your opinions to assist me in the development of programs which will benefit all students. Christopher Jason I) How can the student health insurance policy be tailored mote toward student needs and how would you have voted on the controversial abortion coverage? I) The most glaring inadequacy of the student’s insurance policy does not occur within the policy itself, but is rather the lact that so many students know so little about it. Many students believe that this policy covers practically everything, while others do not know that they do have certain benefits available to them. Few students realize that if they have complaints regarding payment of claims, or anything else regarding the policy, they can come into the Sub Board office, which can exert great influence in having their complaints It is addressed. the responsibility of Sub Board to advertise what the policy covers, and also what it does not cover, as well as its ability to function as the advocate of students with the insurance company. Certain particular benefits that I would investigate and if possible include in the policy, are expansion to full major medical coverage and increased maternity benefits. I spoke on maternity benefits at the March 8 meeting, and despite the increase in benefits recently approved by the Sub Board Directors, the exclusion of pre-natal care and care to the newborn infant make even the policy present woefully inadequate. Regarding abortion the coverage, I do certainly support the rights of conscientious objectors, but unless a better optional plan can be devised than the one most recently before Sub Board, I would vote against the optional coverage. 2) What potential Sub Board service would you pick out as the most important to develop next year and how would you go about it? 2) Due ' to the' tremendous array "of I) What methods of student input into academic decisions are must underused at this University and how will you pul them to work next year? 1) Student input must be generated. Apathy has reigned across our nation’s universities for almost ten years. At that time everyone at all levels of the University knew how students felt on a variety of issues. It appears that students since then have not had the reason nor the motivation to speak out and let themselves be heard. In this, the year of the Springer Report and General Fducation, we have what one can ultimately call “motivators.” One cannot be sure' what the consequences of either plan will have on the quality of student life next year. But what one can be sure of, is that students’ lives, beginning with Fall ’79 Springer implementation, Will be markedly affected. Springer implementation will in most instances mean that students will have to work off a fiye course load rather than this year’s four course load. In addition, logistical problems are eminent: usage of Blue Bird buses, classroom size and increased enrollment in many courses, will affect each and every student in the i the attendance suffered. If I’m elected I will poll the students, so that the programs that are chosen are in agreement with the Treasurer Kevin Bryant 1) In what areas of Student Association do you feel money is wasted and what measures can the treasurer take to insure .wise-spending? 1) Anywhere that money is spent, there is always a certain amount of waste. My objective is to see that this is uncovered apd then eliminated. Publicity, phones, and office budgets can always be cut, usually with little more than slight inconvenience and intelligent planning. Money is also under-utilized through the allocations to the S.A. Organizations. Their purpose is to supplement the activities of the S.A. by programming activities and cultural events of interest to individual groups. 1 feel that the majority of students do not belong to or don’t participate in, the events planned by the different organizations. I would like to see that everyone benefits from their S.A. fee; which may mean programming more general-interest activities; with the idea of giving everyone the maximum return for their dollar. Control policies Financial are most disadvantage any one particular discipline over the other. That is not to say that students will not be under a great amount of pressure due to the new curriculum. 1 am confident though, that most Judiann Carmack I) What «nelhods of student input into academic decisions are most underused at this University and how will you pul them to work next year? 1) There is a great abyss between the students and the administrators of this university in establishing and determining academic policy. To strongly influence academic issues student input is needed at a departmental level. The development of a governance board in each department to oversee and influence decisions in such areas tenure policy majdr requirements, teacher and departmental evaluation will have a positive effect on the and student of education quality awareness. At present time there are very departments that have students working in conjunction with the faculty on few departmental issues. This should be a departmental practice. Student representatives working on departmental universal governance boards could work on major academic issues such Springer as coming year. My point is, the only reason that current methods of soliciting student input have been underused is simply because the student input has been non-existant. My hope is that important academic issues coming up in the next year will be a sufficient motivator for the student to shed his/her sheath of apathy and use the existing channels of communication now available to speak out. Contrary to popular belief, any student or groups of students can attend a Senate meeting and voice opinions. It is not necessary to be a Senator to have a say at these meetings. They are there for the general student population and should be taken advantage of. 1 have been your student representative for many months now on the Springer Implementation Committee. I have many a' time sat down in the Rathskellar «rd solicited student input. In addition, f originated the idea that Ronald Bunn (Vice President of Academic Affairs) and Jack Peradotto (DUE Dean) speak in Haas Lounge to the students on Springer and General Education.

Since research is stressed over good in this University, teacher effectiveness is an important issue. The publication of literature is the most effective way to reach students and teachers. SCATE (Student Course and Teacher Evaluation), had a tremendous effect on teacher attitudes towards their students and teaching.

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

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

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

Lobbying is important to let the legislators know the wants of the students and if students are voicing their opinions, the legislators will not ignore them as they represent votes to them. 1 will strike interest and stress the importance of students working together as a whole because that is the only way our voice as students will be heard. I will let students know who the crummy legislators are and promote letter writing and lobbying to the maximum. I feel qualified for the position as SASU Delegate because as a student 1 realize these problems and their importance and 1 have a genuine interest and also initiative. Roderick MacKinnon 1) What do you know about student needs here and about statewide student issues that makes you qualified for the position of SASU Delegate? 1) The students here at UB have a few very basic, reasonable needs. They want what every student has a right to have. One of the major issues Severe problems face the .UB student. The incompleted Amherst campus, extra for tuition, not to mention a raise in room and board charges. Another of the students’ needs is a finished campus, included in this are a gym, recreational facilities, better lecture halls and better equipped labs. Students have the right to facilities large enough to accomodate the size of this University. We should not have to put up with small antiquated facilities. One of the problems with the NY STate University system is that it does not fund athletic teams. It does not allow athletic grants and aids. MOst of the other State education systems fund athletic teams. One statewide issue that does not concern the University but does concern the students is the idea of voting in Buffalo rather than their parents’ home. Students live in Buffalo 9 months of the year. The legislators in this area have a great deal of influence over the School’s administration. Students should,, have a say in who represents the University community in Albany. These are the main issues. I believe a good way of finding out how up) would link the students to current issues and meetings. The present grievance box should be placed in Squire Hall for SA and SASU group, continue writing our legislators to let them know we realize what is happening and that we care. SASU is the established lobby for the students. It organizes the students and makes sure that the administrators know that we are here. SASU must continually make itself heard in Albany, this is perhaps the best method of recognition. To do this we need qualified students in SASU. We must all realize that individually we have little say in the dealings in Albany, but together, as a large interest group, we can be heard, loud and clear, all the way to the governor’s office. We must continue with all the efforts we have been expending lately. The way to accomplish this is through SASU. Thomas Moran 1) What t>o y°u know about student needs here and about statewide student issues that makes you qualified for the position of SASU Delegate? 1) As a SASU Delegate I would deal with issues of concern to students all over the State. would have two I responsibilities: first, to determine SASU policy with all the other SASU delegates at the two conferences in June and November; second, to relate the needs and concerns of the students at Buffalo to the SASU organization in Albany. Hopefully (and ideally!) the two, policy goals and student needs, will be the same. Of particular interest to students here is a larger SUNY budget, possibly through a cut to subsidies to private colleges (New York is one of the largest subsidizers of education and this hurts us by matters. private 2) How can students, as an interest group, increase their political power in this state? 2) Students •today,' are becoming politically active again.

To a large extent the latter is dependent on the former. Of more general interest is the dp facto disenfranchisement of college students who go away to school. Anyone who has been here for a year or more knows what a hassle it is to get registered, get an absentee ballot, and return it before the election.

As an interest group they must become active to achieve their goals And there are meaningful and useful ways of getting involved. Before they can get involved they must be informed. As a SASU delegate I would be a link between SASU and Buffalo, 1 could release information to the two student newspapers. Information such as what bills are coming up. for vote that are of interest to students and how their representatives voted afterwards. This will make students aware and hopefully provide enough incentive to get involved. Lobbying is perhaps the most effective way students as an interest group can increase their political power. The recent trips t» Albany to protest the tuition hike are good examples. Lobbying the local state legislators in their home office is also important in order to remind them who it is that puts them in office and whose interests should be represented. Letter writing is another way of flexing our political might, one that does not take up too much partying or studying time! Awareness and involvement are the keys to unlock the door of the state legislature. I will keep you informed and try to get you involved as SASU delegate. Representative to the College Council Michael Pierce I) How can the College Council be made more responsive to student needs? 1) 1 ask that my mandate be renewed so that I may continue to serve as your determined representative to the University Council. Looking back on the year past, 1 see that some progress has been made. No longer does the College Council feel free to insult and degrade students. Respect is something that must be demanded; it is not a gift. Through the great support that 1 have received from students, we have shown that we are a force that cannot be dismissed, but one that must be considered. 1 will still insist that the student representative receive a vote in the Council. Furthermore, advocate a I will restructuring of the Council. Such restructuring will include reduction of the terms of appointment from five years to two years, the addition of two more and the students, addition of a representative for the faculty and staff. This is a proposal that will require action by the State Legislature. Another proposal that I intend to introduce is that the College Council call a University-wide referendum which will be binding, on the of the question of reappointment University President or ratification of a new President, whatever the case may be. It is utter foolishness to even assume that the members of the College Council speak for the true interests of the University. Therefore, it is only right that the members of the University Community participate in their fundamental governance. The College Council must finally realize that they are no longer a body responsible only to themselves, they have abdicated any responsibility to the welfare of students by refusing to take a stand on the tuition hike, should therefore, they abdicate any sham idea that they are a governing board. Shdrt of dissolution, they should be bound by the collective and wishes of expressed the University community. A common theme runs throughout the program that 1 have just outlined and that is the principle of justice. Without justice no part of the foundation can stand. That those who submit to authority should have a right to participate in their processes of governance should at this time be an indisputable fact. The days of autocracy are over. With a renewed mandate of support and continuing confidence of the students I will continue the honor of being your servant and forceful representative to the College Council. �editorial * » a. daymonday 63 I Why we endorse It is always important to realize things when evaluating The Spectrum's endorsement policy; £ First the endorsements, like any editorial, are our opinions based on as mbch information as we can | gather in a short period of time, but 5 still, in the end, opinions. Secondly, they are only part of our election responsibilities, which include extensive coverage of candidates' forums and several pages of the candidates' own statements on major Thirdly, issues. are a they newspaper's right in that they responsibly address an issue of major importance to readers. This year, it is equally important to realize a few other things about endorsements: we are no longer the only publication that can endorse candidates. Although the process is admitedly long and requires a firm command of the issues, both Worlds magazine and The Other One, an alternative news collective, are of capable and a interviewing rendering judgement on all candidates. even Secondly, without endorsements from Worlds and The Other One, their mere existence can afford the student body another perspective on news, including news about the SA elections. These different be perspectives can balanced against The Spectrum's when evaluating our endorsements. Thirdly, this year is a particularly crucial one for SA, with the organization coming off six months of absolute anarchy within its own Senate and with the government's alienation from the student body becoming clearer each week. With these concerns, and a relatively weak field of candidates, the elections swell in importance and our responsibility to take an informed stand grows commensurately. Nevertheless, there will once again come the calls for an end to endorsements with the along ever-sophisticating charges that The Spectrum not the voters determines the winners. We, of course, strongly maintain that no one can gauge the extent to which The Spectrum merely predicts the winners and the extent to which it actually wins elections for its endorsed candidates. Others are not so reluctant. But there is little doubt that The Spectrum's editorial judgements and the eventual winners regularly coincide. We happen to think that there are many factors involved here factors somewhat more complex than editors merely snapping their fingers to produce victories. Very often, there are wide differences in the quality of candidates, differences that are easily *■; tSveral £ ” — > - - — President discerned by the electorate and differences that show up in the vote totals. This will be the case in many of this year's races, where one candidate i c vastly more informed and more likely to command respect than his or her competitors. Since we believe that our endorsements are well-informed, and reasonably-articulated; and that they accurately compare the candidates, we also believe that other input voters receive predominantly the candidates forums and the printed statements will back up our judgements in readers' minds, and vice versa. But to make the process fairer, we are presenting the endorsements last, after one of the forums and after in reading the candidates' own sequence — — - — Hopefully, voters will have some ideas on the relative qualifications of the candidates before evaluating our judgements. Of course, our critics charge that voters merely read the endorsements and walk into the booths, disdaining all other .information. While we are quite sure there are some students who consider the endorsements all they need to make up their minds, we are more interested in reducing their number by expanding the general awareness of the electorate than we are in guessing how Significant a portion of the vote total they represent. statements. The real problem in SA elections is not The Spectrum and not its endorsement policy, but the voters' limited knowledge of and interest in the candidates. The solution, we feel, is not to eliminate endorsements and thus reduce the number of perspectives that can be brought to the election, but to add to those perspectives and to place The Spectrum's perspective in its proper light. - That is why we have consistently championed alternative publications, why we do not purport our endorsements as the final say on any race and why we offer candidates the chance to respond in the following issue. Endorsements are our opinions and they are presented as such. Again, it is a newspaper's right to endorse political candidates. We feel it is our responsibility to render an editorial judgement on the SA elections. We are not out to destroy candidates or to manipulate voters' minds. We consider ourselves informed enough to judge the qualifications of the candidates; we take a great deal of care in making those judgements; and we feel we are fair m presenting them to the student body. Our purpose is not to deceive;' we are merely doing our job. Endorsements Once again, the field of Student Association candidates is not a particularly strong one.

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

The — director must advocate the student side of a position of little power. The endorsement for this post was academic issues from difficult because both particularly candidates are experienced in SA and would perform competently in the position. However, Judiann Carmack is our choice over Michael Bergstein. Carmack, who has served on the SA Senate and on the DUE Curriculum Committee investigating the changes brought by the Springer report, was not only familiar with every major academic decision, but had hard-hitting and realistic ideas on how to fight for student interests. to suggestion develop student boards" within each "governance department was particularly exciting and exemplified her sound analytical approach Her to what are often annual problems student impotence and apathy, - for example Bergstein solidly familiar with academic issues as well, and was particularly well-informed about the implications of the Springer report, which he has studied as a member of the Springer Implementation Committee. But his level of thinking did not strike as deep as did was nearly all the Carmack's. Where Bergstein thought that merely informing DUE academic advisors about the problems of Springer would help, Carmack wisely suggested that faculty and peer advisors must be used to bolster the overburdened DUE staff. Where Bergstein said that he would personally approach Dianna while Derhak, appearing individual department chairmen about motivated and enthusiastic about her problems students face, Carmack's idea of involvement in the University, would do department-based governance boards was better to participate in various areas of much more far-reaching and feasible.

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

He will make an excellent choice for the O) position SASU Delegate Five J • candidates are running » for the position of UB delegate to the Student Association of the State University (SASU). Three positions are open. Roderick MacKinnon, who has done volunteer work for two state legislators, is the clear first choice, displaying a subtle and creative understanding of SASU. Perceptive and articulate yet sometimes incorrect in his analysis of SASU’s who, organization was Thomas Moran — despite his inexperience, should learn the job soon enough. Of the final three candidates, none showed more than a cursory knowledge of SASU. Sue Kushner, however, did display more direction and enthusiasm than either Andrew Fishman or Margaret Damm. — — His suggestion of coordination between different campus groups such as IRC and commuters seems like a necessary step in providing a greater variety and higher quality of student activities. His concern and intention to work with minority students to ensure all students "get their money's-worth" of the mandatory activity fee is also a needed goal especially in view of the past, limited programming for minority students.

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

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

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

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

Brown was recently quoted as is saying, ‘‘Reading the Greater Buffalo International Airport tonight, including University Bobby President Bedwetter Division of Education (DUE) and Unnecessary fun-dam ental.” A successor to Stevenson’s post of veteran campus prophet has yet not been but found, University President Bedwefter, after a fact finding-tour of Buffalo « Dean Buck Henry Papadodo. “After 37 years I can hardly believe he’s finally leaving,” a sobbing Papadodo said.

Although Pentagon officials were reluctant to disclose precise details of the new missile concept. The Spectrum has learned that the pjocess involves spontaneous reproduction of warheads jUiXtaocket boosters via the exchange of genetic and telemetric information between two adjoining missiles to a brand new baby missile.” ecstatic Air Force Colonel Nuke Lear Armgedden An called the new fast breeding missile or FBM, “an utter revolution in arms technology that is destined to put America back on top of the Russians by allowing us to create as many missiles as we want, when we want. All we gotta do, is put one female missile next to another male missile and bang shazam, those horny projectiles start multiplying. Before you know it you got a few dozen spanking new baby missiles on your hands. It’s really wonderful,Armgedden beamed. Defense Secretary Harold Brown cautioned at a House Armed Services Hearing, Thursday that we must be on guard for Soviet infiltrators attempting to place contraceptive devices on our new self-reprodupyffe nuclear arsenal. “The Russians are not only diabolical Commie Pinkos who are trying to subvert the Free World,” Brqwn warned, “but they are also puritanical moralists who wish to put restraints on American social conventions like inhibition-free sex. They’ll go so far as to prevent the union of two mutually consenting, adult missiles,” the Defense Secretary said. Bombs more than burst in the air as nuclearbabes seek new homes • • * « • . - The secrecy shrouded missile breeding program, which 3 is the culmination of eight years intensive research involving over two dozen Fortune 500 corporation, met with unqualified success ujily Jrefcntlyt '‘|h the'dwly years of the development pro|ranf wt? cSriTC up against a whole myriad of wracking problems,” disclosed Dietrich i. Guenther, chief project engineer of “We were j entering into a theretofore unexploted area of non-sentient | android reproduction coupled with the new genetics. In our first attempted union we deposited a male and a female missile into a submarine lauhching tube and we 2 ended up with 105 Maytag Washing Machines,” Guenther 3 3 revealed. Orphan missiles “At that point we were faced with the whole project S’ going down the tubes. It was horrible; there the Pentagon Vo wss pouring billions of dollars into this giant weapons £ development program and all we had to show fdr it were a few dozen laundry cleaining apparatuses, not something -S you can really frighten the Russians with.” The Generals were pretty pissed off Guenther indicated. And they weren’t really placated any when we offered to give away some of the Maytags to their wives.” “? u * eventually,” i continued, -“we started meeting wfth real success. Actually, it was inevitable, we had the best scientific minds in the country working on this project, we couldn’t fail. Only problem is that we haven’t found a way to adequately control the number of missile offspring. They go at it like rabbits, so we end up with thousands of little missiles that we have no room for. There’s really no way of destroying them safely so they end up homeless and without mothers; emotionally impaired for life. Ultimately these disadvantaged missiles end up on the federal and state payroll, adding to the average taxpayer’s burden.” Concerned project scientists are setting up an orphan missile adoption agency to find loving homes for forlorned nuclear missiles. “They’re really quite docile,” one scientist intimated, “no problems with toilet training or clothing costs.

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

And after a long introspective and painful consideration, we think we have the answer: students here should try to get involved. Yup, involved. Involved in getting students together, getting things done. Students should muster up enough initiative to hand out more flyers. Really. Yeah, we ve heard all that dialectic crap from these pseudo-intellectual types who claim that students are spending a great deal of their time getting involved in apathy. This is tenuous and we just don't buy it. No way. These are the same dopes who think that by not attending all of these Spreinger and General Education meetings they are vehemently expressing their species-being alienation with the capitalist system. If this is so, how come we never see Apathy booths in Squire's center lounge. Huh . how come? We obstinately rest our case. I would like to object strongly to the review Moss Chaperson gave to the movie The Buckshooter in last week’s Prodigal Pun. Clearly Mr; Chaperson is an arrogant, sanctimonious moron who cannot be trusted to take home movies let alone review a masterpiece such as The Buckshooter. Chaperson completely missed the fact that the movie had nothing whatever to do with the Vietnam conflict but centered on the immorality of hunting poor little animals and living in Pennsylvania. Admittedly there were a few scenes depicting I want to complain about people writing letters to the editor complaining that other people are complaining too much in their letters to the editor. 1 don’t think they’re complaining too much and I wish The Spectrum Vol. 29, No. 78 ignorant!

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

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

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

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

Saturday’s opening of the Sierra Club Radioactive Waste Campaign office at 3164 Main Street was declared a valuable tool in the fight against nuclear power. One project discussed was contacting the 83 groups who testified against the West Valley reopening in January at the Department of Energy hearing in Buffalo on waste disposal alternatives. The Sierra Club may participate in this venture. Other projects already underway include; a West Valley informational slide show, street theater opposing the reopening of West Valley to be performed in Buffalo, a Transport Task Force examining the possible shipment of radioactive wastes through the Buffalo area, and a group working with residents of the Cattaraugus Indian Reservation who are concerned about * radioactive contamination from Buttermilk Creek, which runs through the NFS site into the reservation.

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

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

However, creating an additional 68 bed spaces by depriving Resident Advisors (RA's) of their roommate free status is not the solution. Rather, it is a poorly conceived plan that will not only result in varying pay scales for different RA's (some RA's will have roommates, others won't; some will have larger rooms than others), but it is almost certain to contribute to the dormitory attrition rate. Vice President for Finance and Management Edward Doty made two mistakes in coming to his decision: he did not involve any RA's or low-level Housing personnel in his decision; and he failed to. consider other alternatives of finding more bed space. University departments still occupy space in the Ellicott Complex, while the Music Department holds the first two floors of Pritchard Hall on the Main Street Campus. How many bed spaces could be found if these departments were forced to relocate or double up? Isn't there wasted office space in the residence halls that could be made suitable for student housing? Can't buildings such as Stockton-Kimball be altered again for this once a student derm Tower purpose? If these solutions are unfeasible then perhaps the University should finally investigate purchasing off-campus housing and renting it to students a policy which is carried out at other schools such as Albany State. including Doty agree that having a All parties There is little RA's effectiveness. impede the roommate will the same time, beds at 68 more and point in providing all dorm students leaving RA's performance hindering an life. of to bear the brunt of a decreased quality We strongly support the RAs' pleas that University officials reconsider this poorly planned move that reeks of a lack of concern for students.

As stated before, we fully support the mandatory coverage and believe Sub Board acted very responsibly in gaining broadly-based student input before its vote last week.

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

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

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

This is especially important to Mr. Chapman, do not make generalities when so both physical and emotional health. An intelligent, many exceptions exist. Many men resist the secure man does not shrug off injury and “take it pressures of society, as do many women, and, as the like a man.” He has more respect for himself than numbers of these enlightened people increase the sex that.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Shrovetide In Old New Orleans (Avon, $2.50), “an autobiography of my (Reed’s) mind starting in 1970,’’ his recent collection of essays covers a wide spectrum of Reed’s interests: from architecture to folklore to art, with an emphasis on bringing out the obscured, but pertinent facets of these fields. Reed is a writer who does love the “cult of writing.” He speaks with early literary trailblazers like George S. Schuyler and Chester Hines, writers who had no particular black aesthetic protecting whatever they Bread and Chocolate Hoo-Dooism and is glad to see it alive and thriving. On poverty, he does see it, but it is a “clean poverty” as opposed to the “welfare ...that arsenic of the milk of liberal kindness” that exists here. For a downtrodden people they seem mighty lively. On the official black aesthetic, he talks about the peculiar affectation within the established white wrote. Reed speaks from a "Hoo-Doo Aesthetic,” an literary machine for the black writer.

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

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

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

He suggested departments could be urged to adopt quality General Education courses by making inclusion in the General Education Program hinge on these along with the lure of courses increased enrollments. Hochfield admitted that creating a program of the type he envisioned one examining the “quality , of mind” and thought process behind concepts would be more difficult to institute. It would, he said, require new courses and a new kind of teaching. “It would ask a professor to step out of his traditional role,” he said. Although this might take longer than the 1980 implementation date, Hochfield said, it would be better to achieve a quality program. — SPONSORED BY: CAC, NYPIRG, SA Speakers Bureau — Admission 50c Students 1 — T" ' . - V." ■I * • $1.00 non-students All proceeds go to Love Canal Fund plan, he said, requires a “growth by trial and error, an ongoing examination of existing courses for appropriateness to the goals of General Education."

Significant loss that the notion of exposing students to a large amounts to introductry courses is “pointless.” A student should have the latitude to explore any area that interests him outside his major in greater number of whqt depth, he said. Springer said that to achieve meaningful courses, teachers would have to be dedicated to teaching them. “This program,” he said, “loses the lever to upgrade teaching performance by providing a captive'audience.” But despite i(s possible shortcomings, Peradotto said that the program showed its endurance, especially considering that it was “chewed over by iidealists who haven’t taken the time to do their homework at one end and by bloody-minded FTE (enrollment) counters at the other,.” Despite his criticism, Hochfield Baker’s belief that the program will improve with time. “He sees beyond the first step (the course requirements among the general knowledge areas)” Hochfield said, “he foresees that the departments-will do it.” But Hochfield tautioned that Baker’s will leave the Committee when his term expires April 1, a loss HochfiehHermed “significant.” recognized �Gen Ed debate ends place one’s self inside the world of the other, to .unlock the filing system and expose its contents to the student. “And when it is seen, believe me, the world tilts for that student,” he observed. “That person is, to a degree, from that day forward, somewhat liberated. “There is nothing in the study of foreign language that does that.” Dean Peradotto, who had strongly maintained just the opposite through the months of committee deliberations and the Senate debate, sat motionless through Gearing’s oration, never glancing up from his lap-held clipboard. He did not respond to what was the deepest stab into the requirement’s academic validity heard in the Senate. Committee Chairman Baker then gave for the first time, his personal view on the requirement, noting that it received the “weakest mandate” of any part of the plan in faculty and student surveys and in the Committee vote (9-8 in favor). Plea for compromise that capacity the to understand another culture comes from a change in a student’s attitudes and perspectives on foreign worlds. Baker argued that cross-cultural study belongs not as one of the six knowledge areas, but as an intellectual theme to be developed Stressing to -continued from University the * page 1 > if ,he language is put in.” And finally, after hours of many arguments and cross-arguments, charges and rebuttals, the Senate passed a motion on the foreign langauge requirement 33-27, adding “cross cultural study" and freeing students from the mandate to take requirement language courses. Stunning attack The Senate then voted to “rise and report from its “Committee of the whole” structure that had enabled the report to be amended more smoothly. The motion on the floor became Baker’s motion to accept the report, which he had offered at earlier. When the first meeting two weeks Hnglish Professor George Hochfield approached the microphone, few Senators let alone Garver or Baker were prepared for what followed Hochfield, in a suddenly-unleashed and boldly-worded attack on the Committee’s work, predicted that the General education program will add up to nothing — - when it is implemented. Quoting a passage of a preliminary Gen Ed report authored by English Professor Murray Schwartz, Hochfield reminded the Senate that “a superficial return to distribution requirements is the most —DIVIncen/o Chairman Newton Carver and Norman Baker Facing the parliamentary rigors of a crucial debate Taking courses, reading textbooks - that’s for them.” Hochfield left no doubts about his pessimism over the Gen Ed program, and he was just as sure of the effect his remarks would have. “I don’t think there’s any hope of deflecting the adoption of this report, all I can hope to do is to get you thinking," he told the Senate. While a pocket of students opposed to General Education applauded wildly, joined by a few sympathetic faculty, Chairman immediately Garver acknowldeged Baker, expressionless through who had sat Hochfield’s lengthy attack. “I’d like to thank Professor Hochfield,” Baker snapped, “for the most masterful piece of misrepresentation that has been performed in the Faculty Senate.” More applause. This time from supporters of the plan. Come back in Fall Baker, bridling his anger, stressed that the 13 required courses in six knowledge areas are merely a fr; mework to build upon and that the development of thtmes and intellectual principles, along with the basic skills component in writing and mathematics, will address all of Hochfield’s English Professor Max Wickart objections. “If he can still make the same speech in the Fall (when the committee reports back to the Senate], then we will lave failed,” The face; of a Senate debate A wait-and-see attitude remains The debate's most vocal participant across the other five groupings. He got almost no support for that idea. At this point, Warner stood to issue his plea for a compromise. Calling the “Cross-cultural studies and foreign languages” “creative amendment a crompromise,” Warner urged Senators to “think of those people who have lost votes and draw them into this proposal.” Just before the vote on the compromise measure, Modern Languages Chairman Kdward Dudley informed the Senators that his department does not now tailor its curriculum to the general student body because most enrollees are interested in gaining fluency in a language. “Obviously,” Dudley said, “we would shift our emphasis and the service we offer feeble attempt at General education.” The Gen Ed plan’s six knowledge areas and course requirements in those areas are almost identical to the University’s 1969 requirements, he charged. Baker concluded. A few speakers later, Robert Springer, the plan’s most vocal critic since he resigned from the Committee two months ago, got up to add to Hochfield’s remarks striking up a politically ironic alliance Engineering between English and - Outside the world “The fragmentation of undergraduate education, that has been the defect of undergraduate education for all these years, has not been solved,” Hochfield said. Speaking slowly but insistently, he claimed that undergraduates here are given not even an introduction to modern thought. Students are left outside, Hochfield said. “They don’t think they belong to the world of thought. Professors do it; Television commentators do it. professors. Springer predicted that subsequent phases will “look a lot like Phase I” (the knowledge areas) and emphasized that the program needt ‘‘a lot more consideration, a lot more thoughtful consideration.” He recommended that the report be sent back to the committee. English Professor Max Wickert, who probably logged more minutes speaking time throughout the debate than any other Senator, wove a few of his personal fantasies about Gen Ed for the audience before warning that “much as we would like to say at the conclusion of this debate that ‘we've got General Education’ we don’t have General Education. What we have is a start, and we’ll be with it for the next three or four years.” Michaelangelo arrives Wickert’s speech hinted at a key factor in the closing hours of the debate fatigue The general feeling late Tuesday afternoon was that the Senate had gone through so much work and exhausted the arguments on so many issues, that there was no logical choice but to accept the report, with its defects, and set the committee to work on the specifics. Hochfield’s stunning Nevertheless, attack Released the dramatists hiding in Woldman Theater, as anecdotes about Michaelangelo and quotations from Henry David Thoreau crept into the debate. Here the Senate, helped along by Garver, began to develop an impatience to vote on final approval. - Garver’s a effectiveness as parliamentarian showed clearly in the final meeting, as he sped the Senate to a final vote and still was able to accomodate nearly all raised hands. But before the Senate was able to vote on the entire report came, appropriately enough, Murdoch’s final shot at removing the foreign language, requirement. The Senate voted to keep Murdoch’s proposal off the floor, by a 33-14 margin. But more than one Senator noted that 33 and 14 add up to 47. And a quorum is 50. As the fear that a lack of a quorum would kill the report crept through the Senators who had paid strict attention, pulled Garver perhaps his slickest parliamentary move of the debate. “The chair believes that there were abstentions,” he said, with the slightest of intruding onto his normally steely-straight face. Although there were certainly many who might have, no one challenged the chair. grins The final vote: 44-12-3. bducation comes of age * LOW LOW RATES YOUNG DRIVERS FILET-O-FISH' SANDWICH AND MOTORCYCLISTS IMMEDIATE | BUY ONE, GET ONE FREE The largest selling Filet OFish™ sandwich in America is waiting for you at McDonald’s’ 1 A tender.

Thomas Costello, a member of Vermont House of the Representatives, said the New England Legislative Caucus, which consists of ail legislators from the six New England states, has to formed a subcommittee advocate a ‘‘uniform” drinking age. This means that Rhode New Island, Connecticut, Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts and Maine would work together to establish a uniforn\ drinking age to discourage border-crossing excursions for alcohol. Across the border All of the New England states, except Maine and Massachusetts, allow consumption of alcoholic beverages at 18. Quebec and Ontario, the Canadian provinces along the New York border, also have a legal drinking age of 18. “When New Jersey-lowered their drinking age to match New York’s,” Costello said, “there appeared to be a decrease in the number of auto fatalities on the highways.” “But,” Costello said, “the caucus is only interested in the uniformity question. We believe the age decisions should be left entirely up to the individual have a public Edward Fludd. information analyst for the DMV, “Until said, proven it’s conclusively in a study conducted by us, 1 would say there is no reason to change the drinking age,” noting that he could not speak for the Department. He said that he thought DMV would most likely support such legislation. Fludd added that 18 tc 25-year-olds have more accidents “?or whatever reason.” ' Taverns “The percentage of accidents goes up to a point and stays there statistically to age 25 and then falls off,” Fludd said. Leonard Freelander, counsel of the New York Restaurant and Liquor Dealers Association, also believes there is no “reason to the change law.” Freelander believcs.new legislation will create more harm than good because of 18 to 20-year-olds trying to beverages alcoholic obtain illegally "We would be creating a minor prohibition act,” he said, “and we know the pitfalls of that.” Freelander, whose organization is a trade association for hotels, restaurants and taverns, couldn’t give any financial figures on how much business they may lose if this law is passed.

A student from Bates College in Lewiston, Maine, said the increase in the drinking age there has not had much effect on the tavern business. “Basically, there has not been that much compliance,” he said. According to the student, taverns are still serving 18 to for economic 20-year-olds survival. The faction which will probably be the most upset with the proposed legislation is the thousands of 18 to 20-year-olds who are used to the comfortable surroundings of a tavern to have a drink “If me somebody told tomorrow 1 couldn’t drink in a bar, I would really resent it," said Roberta Miletello, a 19-year-old student at the State University of New York at Albany. “I feel I’m responsible enough to handle alcohol. There are a lot of 18 and 19-year-olds who can handle the responsibility. There are a lot of 40-year-olds who can't. Why not do something about the real drivers problem of drunken instead?” Zimmer admits the drunken driver is a serious problem that must be dealt with. His office has information from requested Scandinavian countries that have very harsh penalties for drunken driving offenses. “We are committed to looking at the entire problem of alcohol abuse and not just the one category of 18 to 20-year-olds," Zimmer said “1 don’t think it (raising the drinking age) will slow down the amount of alcohol flowing to high school students that much,” said Ken , Scallon, educational coordinator for the Rensselaer County Alcohol Center. “Perhaps a little bit,” he said. Scallon said there are basic behavorial and social problems which lead teenagers to drink in the first place “Frankly speaking,” Scallon said, “we can’t enforce the laws now.” He said a nationwide study claims the chances of being caught while driving drunk are 1 out of 1400. Is drinking a constitutional right? Is it discrimination to deny those under 21 who vote for government representatives and the right to drink fight in wars alcohol? “Yes” both counts, according to the 1 Michigan Committee for the Age of claimed Responsibility, which that Michigan’s new law violated the Equal Protection Clause of the 14th Amendment to the U.S. — - Constitution. U.S. District Ralph Guy ruled Court Judge the State did have the power to establish Michigan’s legal minimum drinking age at 21, while granting other rights and privileges at'18. “You can’t refute the statistics.” Zimmer said. “We’re beginning to see the tremendous amount of alcoholic abuse in the schools, the commotion it causes, and the deaths on the highways. If the state acts to set the drinking age at 21, it will save lives.” from page 4 . Center lieutenant, could be avoided if the judicial system realized the problems of “casually" sending criminals into prison instead of awarding probation for minor crimes. One Ideal judge, who supposedly like to give penniless prisoners probation only on the condition of unobtainable $10 bail, is "particularly a pain in the ass said the lieutenant. California, commonly a leader of social change, is allowing an increasing number of criminals to go even first offense felons free on parole (an annual social expense of $700) instead of incarcerating them (a yearly bill of about $13,000). The California - — system has not, however, reduced the crime rate. While it seems obvious that the problems in the prison system can be traced to the wildly .stratified U S. economic structure, no criminologist has come up with an across-the-board reform designed to rehabilitate criminals. Instead, the prevailing thought in prison reform is more and more society reform.

Staff Writer Strapped by a lack of resources often attacked as merely self-serving factions, the Thud World and Women’s Caucuses of SASU are still struggling for recognition after four years. ‘‘Many people ignore the last 200 years of historical prejudice, and the fact that the bureaucratic setup is structured to favor some over others.

Chairperson for Third World Caucus Victor Olivera told The Spectrum that the Caucus is presently stagnating due to inner and outer conflicts. “I plan to to change the Caucus name something which is less apt to provoke controversy," Olivera Albany State University said. (ASUBA) Black Alliance Tred Barryhill, co-chairman, reinforced the view that members’ racial defensiveness hinders the Caucus’ image as a unified whole. i Caucuses combined support 20 or one-fourth of the total SASU votes. Buffalo State student government president Michael McCormick informed The Spectrum that one of the reasons his school resigned from SASU of the Caucuses’ was because “The Caucus voting powers. by delegates are not chosen election, but become delegates simply by being interested,” he said. “Kven more serious is the fact that the delegates are not chosen in proportion to a school’s total population. Because of this, one school on the SUNY system may acquire more voting power Libby than Post, another.” Communications Director for SASU refuted this accusation by stating that the problems of the oppressed should be important to campuses. all people on all Therefore, feels, she £! simultaneously helping them build strength and determination.

The Caucus formation increased the ever present tension and became a for scapegoat unresolved hostilities.” SA President at Cortland, Michael Hastrick, sees the caucuses as being better organized than SASU itself, although sophisticated. less Hastrick said, “SASU is expected to satisfy every group both conservative and radical whereas the specificCaucuses have direction and purpose, with no Wendy’s presents # WF®'' OLD FASHIONED HAMBURGERS Spring is in the air as well as ...

QiilNf S-Sf PAMAff PuRtHASi �s Hard working UB coaches also carry full course load i 0. sports by Carlos Vallarino A ssislanl Sports Editor Certain names are invariably associated with their positions. At UB, the name Bill Dando means “football coach;” the name Ed Wright goes with hockey, and so on. But perhaps going all too unnoticed is the fact that these coaches and their colleagues work primarily as class instructors through the department of Recreation, Athletics and Related Instruction (RARI). “They’re hired as teachers, not coaches noted Salvatore Esposito partment’s Assistant Dean. “Coaching a team is their secondary responsibility.” Esposito explained that when the department has an opening, the procedure is to form a search committee whose task is to find the top five candidates available for the position. The committee consists mostly of faculty, but sometimes includes players. “That’s what happened last year,” recounted Esposito. “When we were looking for a new basketball coach, some of the players from the team joined the search committee.” Physical Education, or one very nearly completed, is a prerequisite for joining the RAR1 faculty. Furthermore, the candidates must have experience in the area that they would be required to instruct and/or coach. Once the five most suitable persons are interviewed they are rated by each committee member from one to five, and the findings are submitted along with each candidate’s to credentials, Esposito, who then chooses the best'qualified applicant for the “I am a professional wrestling coach,” Ed Michael said. “And in the area of judo which is a form of combative wrestling I hold a — / - brown belt (Ikkyu).” Another whose teaching area is related to his coaching field is hockey coach Ed Wright, but he argues that he has been assigned to instruct Speedball & Floor Hockey, Jogging & Conditioning and Beginning Ice Skating simply because he has had a hand in creating these course}. “When I first came to this university, about nine years ago, these courses didn’t even exist,” stated Wright arguing that his post as hockey coach has not influenced his job. Same channels Esposito through went the channels to come “When 1 was hired, same to Buffalo. they were looking for someone to teach certain courses who at the same time had a soccer background,” he related. “And I fit the bill, so 1 was hired.” Not everyone fits the bill, though. A Master’s degree in teaching assignments Close association In exploring the relationship between coaching and instructing, one opinion seemed to unanimously find its way to the interviewees’ mouths “Coaching and teaching are synonymous,” said Bill Monkarsh, baseball coach and director of intramurals and recreation. “If you’re a good coach, you’re a good teacher,” the expert in racquet sports added. Most RAR1 instructors split their time between evenly teaching and coaching (when their respective sports are in season, of course), and they are paid in accordance. In the off-season, a coach devotes most of his/her. time to instruction, with such - responsibilities recruiting as occupying the remainder. So anyone who ever thought that the only prerequisite for becoming a coach was being a good Grapplers need your help jock should think twice an available position. As Wright put it, “Your successful coaches all have the to Your ability teach.” unsuccessful ones are fired. before applying for Contributions are needed to send four top UB wrestlers to the National Amateur Athletic Union (AAU) Freestyle Championships at Ames, Iowa, being held April 9 to 15.

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

With the Royals’ marked success, recruiting is becoming an easy task for Poland. “We have a fine schedule, including the Arizona State Tournament in Las Vegas, Nevada,” Poland noted, "as well as the lanes in Sports Editor After finishing third in last year's Association of College Union Invitational Royals wilt get another themselves following an shot at redeeming the Eastern Sectionals held sweep in easy weekend. over the past Boston in The Royals’ final pin total was nearly 800 pins better than second place finisher University of Connecticut. However, it wasn't until the meet’s fourth game that the Royals were able to get the ball rolling. Leading by only 32 after three games, Buffalo coach Jane Poland had good reason to worry. “Conditions were poor because there was oil on the lanes,” complained Poland. “They (the lanes) were not good for top-notch bowling.” Whatever the problem was during the first three games was quickly remedied in the next set. .Jhe slim margin suddenly blossomed into a 464 pin gap when the UB aces, Sue Fulton and Terry Strassel, began to pick up their games. “Good old steady Sue.” as Poland affectionately refers to her, fired a team leading 1618 pins for a solid 179 average. For Fulton, it won’t be the first time she plays for all the marbles. In two years at Buffalo, she has helped her team to attain national recogoition by not only, being an integral part of the team but as an individually reknowned bowler. “Steddy Sue” will be leaving her mark in Tucson, Arizona next week in the National Individual Competition. finals, the .bowling Squire. Publicity brings people." Number five team And' the Royals Stale, Despite Wichita Slate and Arizona Stale the fact that Buffalo docs not offer scholarships, the Royals are ahead of the pace of such Division schools as: UCLA University of Arizona, Penn State and Indiana State UB’s emergence into the finals has not 1 accomplished entirely on the merits of Fulton and Coburn. Strassel and Erie Community transfer Gail Simmons have both played important roles throughout the year, “Strassel has worked vety hard to get into the first team,” Poland offered. “She scored second in Boston, which was the highlight of her career. She has very good concentration and has greatly improved her confidence “Simmons has had experience in the nationals and I'm looking forward to her return next year," Poland said about the budding junior. In Boston, Simmons hit lor a very respectable 1483 pirrs in the been nine-game series. Number one bowler Fulton’s teammate for two years at Buffalo, and for two prior years at Erie Community College, is equally talented and has professional aspirations. Cindy Coburn, daughter of seasoned pro Doris Coburn, has received a great deal of attention for her remarkable 211 average in non-collegiate league participation. That mark, established during the 1976-77 season, placed the UB senior’s average atop the entire list of 4.2 million women bowlers registered in the United States. Furthermore, her achievements match or better that of aH but 17 professional men have been receivin their share of publicity. As of this week they are ranked fifth in the nation behind Hillsborough College of Florida. San Jose the flawless form that has earned UB's Cindy Coburn the number one average among female keglers in the country. Overall, only 17 professional American bowlers (all men) can boast a higher average than Coburn s. bowlers. Coburn had a disappointing outing in Boston, though, but she figures to be a vital force in the nationals. As a point of interest, when Cindy goes to Milwaukee with the Royals next month, she’ll receive an opportunity to visit the women’s bowling Hall of Fame, where her mother’s portrait hangs as a memento of her enshrinement. UB’s bowling success can almost be pinpointed to be a result of Coburn and BEST WOMAN BOWLER IN THE U.S.? This is Anyone interested in forming Basketball Cheerleaders please contact Gary Devin, Athletic Affairs ~ at SA Office. Please contact by April 2nd. Although ill during the sectionals, Mary Ann Buboltz also has pitched in well for the Buffalo rollers. "Last year she was our most improved bowler,” Poland stated. “She has a beautiful swing and great timing.” To fill in the month-long gap between now and the April 26 Nationals, Poland will have the Royals practicing as well as giving them time to catch up on their classwork. Also, a possibility exists that the Erie Community bowlers will square off with UB in a Cable TV duel sometime in April. That would give the women a chance to play before the bright lights and cameras they will be under should they make the final round of the Nationals.

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

Reiss Special to The Spectrum The new Student Association (SA) Senate began to untangle some of the legislative web left by its predecessor in a remarkably quiet and somewhat uninspiring meeting Monday in Talbert Hall. It was the new Senate’s first complete meeting since the provisional body was formed last Tuesday. The meeting was unusually orderly and stood in stark contrast to the loud and often unruly gatherings of the old Senate, which was dissolved by the undergraduate student-wide Constitutional amendment. Most of the legislation was passed without long debates; and much of it was designed to undo old Senate deeds. Perhaps the most important action taken by the Senate was aimed at undoing what the Constitutional amendment caused: the virtual elimination of minority representation on the Senate. The old legislative body had many minority students, but the Constitutional amendment provided for only three representatives from special interest groups which included — minority organizations of the new Senators from that group are minorities. Attempting to remedy this, the Senate passed by 18-4-4 a resolution calling for increased none — and gays, homosexuals are not as disadvantaged as some other minorities. The amendment has been sent to the SA Operations and Rules Committee. minority representation. GLF a minority Exactly how many new seats would be added remains unsure SA President Karl Schwartz and Vice President for Sub Board Jane Baum suggested four and a number of new Senators argued strongly against the measure. Ironically, the students who fought hardest for the resolution were those who had been engaged in consistantly battling the old Senate, including Senator Bob Lowry. Baum said that there were weaknesses in the Constitutional amendment that caused the problem and claimed that “a certain number of Senators should be minorities.” Most of the Senate’s action was aimed at unravelling legislation passed by its predecessor. Tackling a question that had brought heated debate more than a month ago, the Senate voted to consider the Gay Liberation Front (GLF) as a minority organization. The previous Senate refused to pass this, arguing that although there is discrimination against - — Energetic debate The Senate upheld two SchwartE vetos of old Senate legislation. One resolution called for the University Administration to conduct an audit of The Spectrum, despite the fact that a Sub Board sponsored audit had recently been completed. The other resolution prohibited student clubs and organizations from advertising in The Spectrum. Schwartz argued that The Spectrum is virtually the only outlet student groups may use to get their message to the University community and called the resolution “riduculous.” The Senate upheld vetos, 18-0-1. 1 Tie meeting’s most energetic debate centered on The Spectrum's right to endorse candidates for SA offices. At its last meeting, the old Senate amended the Election Rules thr blicati f UNSNARLING THE MESS: At its first maatittg Monday, the provisional SA Sonata, among other actions, passed a resolution calling for increased minority representation. voted to consider the Gay Liberation Front for SA by Kathleen McDonough Campus Editor both Schwartz i endorsing candidates'. Some present Senators claimed Monday W that The Spectrum's endorsements are too powerful a-H and that “something” should be done to curb the newspaper’s influence. After a long discussion, ® Baum suggested that rather than stop The Spectrum from endorsing, the Senate should pour its energies into bettering the alternative publications like The Other One and Worlds. Embracing Baum’s suggestion, and agreeing that it had no power to alter The Spectrum’s editorial policy, the Senate voted 20-2-2 not to enforce the amendment to the SA Election rules which sought to prevent the newspaper from endorsing. organization mambarah ip, and dacidad not to anforoa a ruling which prevented The Spectrum' from endorsing SA candidates. Above, outgoing president Karl Schwartz raises a point , previous expressed most,” she said, noting what she perceived as a student demand for an alternative publication to The Spectrum. Students seem to want another voice particularly on political endorsements and another outlet for their writing, Baum said. — ‘Worlds’ may fold due to student apathy, editor's resignation Editor-in-Chief of Worlds Joel Dinerstein resigned his post last week, with both his successor and the future of the new student magazine hanging in doubt. The two remaining issues of the semester may not appear. Dinerstein cited personal reasons for his resignation, as well as disillusionment with the direction of the magazine. He said his disenchahtment stemmed from his “own lack of vision” and from what he felt was poor student response. Student support, Dinerstein said, is essential to produce a magazine like Worlds. Some students come up to the magazine office but don’t seem to return, he lamented, and thus the editors must generate all ideas for topics as well as provide actual coverage. He had hoped that mori students would join the staff and provide a direction for the publication, Dinerstein said. Dinerstein believes that poor handling of the magazine, before its debut in December, was a major contributor to the current woes. The publication had no “grassroots support” he said, adding that “the fundamental problem was the attempt to go from top to bottom.” Dinerstein said that when he had been accepted for the post by Sub Board I Inc., which funds Worlds, he was the only applicant for the position. “Sub Board expected me to bring in the staff,” he said. Topsy turvy Chairman of Sub Board, Jane Baum, the major force behind the creation of the publication, agreed that it would have been more desirable to have built the magazine on broad-based support, but said the top to bottom mechanism is not without potential. Baum argued that someone had to get the project off the ground. “I couldn’t wait forever to get something going,” she said. Baum said that she had planned to institute the publication since she first took office last May. “It was one of the things people M.D./D.V.M.

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

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

Spitzberg announced his resignation, the Colleges are still searching for a new, permanent Dean, Now winding down is the second search a position committee’s attempt to fill the post that many believe will be increasingly important as the Colleges battle for an integral role in a General Education plan and continue to fight for the right to grant distribution credit to approximately 30 - courses. The search committee, headed by Physiology professor Barbara Howell, has narrowed its choices to seven of the original 70 applicants. Howell said that her committee, which started in late October, has just completed interviews with all seven of those still being considered as applicants. The committee possibly more plans to recommend three candidates to the Office of Vice President for Academic Affairs Ronald R. Bunn before Spring break. Bunn will make the final determination after consultation with University President Robert L. Ketter and various deans. — — Not God Howell told The Spectrum that she is looking for people who are scholarly, innovative, experienced in education, and able to work within this University’s Administrative framework. “God has not applied,” she remarked, “but there is no question that more than one person fits the position.” The last search committee ran into roadblocks when many of the selected applicants did not have enough “scholarly” background to be eligible for tenure. Thus, when recommendations and further information were forwarded to Bunn’s office, the Vice President opted to re-open applications. In the meantime, Associate Vice President for Academic Affairs Claude E. Welch holds the title of Acting Dean of the Colleges. Welch, who was the Dean before Spitzberg, has not applied for the full-time College Dean post. Heckuva committee Howell emphasized that her committee has not interviewed all the finalists, solely, but that candidates have met with Bunn, College Masters, students and some University deans. She noted that the committee is garnering input from all sectors and assured administrators, faculty and students — “they will certainly pick a good person.” Howell explained that she does not know if the Dean’s salary is an issue among the candidates. Although The Spectrum reported Monday that administrative salaries here are not comparable to those at similarly sized schools, Howell said that the candidates must take up that discussion with Bunn. However, she noted, “I don’t think many would want to take a cut (compared to their current earnings).” Howell also commended her colleagues for their diligent efforts in the search for qualified candidates.

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

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

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

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

On Friday, March 16th, an article by Ross Chapman on exhibits in the Art Book Collection area of Lockwood Library referred to apathy, unused exhibit cases and poor lights. The staff of the ■art area are by no means apathetic. Last fall we had numerous facility problems in that area and were anxious not to attract people until the situation was corrected. The Art Librarian, Mrs. Florence DaLuiso, has used the cases for displays of books and small items in the past and will do so again when she returns from sabbatical leave in July. While Mrs. DaLuiso is away, we cannot keep up with all the work she normally does. Exhibits take a lot of time and have to be limited this spring. As Gretchen Knapp stated in her March 19th letter to The Spectrum, a certain amount of‘red tape’ is involved. For instance, the Libraries cannot assume financial liability for any non-library materials, and exhibitors who wish to, must provide their own insurance. Finally, all but one of the lights in the exhibit cases were repaired three weeks before Mr. Chapman’s article appeared. Parts have been ordered to repair the last one. I’m very sorry Mr. Chapman didn’t contact me before this article appeared. Some of the questions he raised could have been answered much sooner. Diane Parker Acting Head oj Lockwood Library Sickening To the Editor In response to the letter “Support the Palestinians” printed in the Monday, March 26, 1979 issue of The Spectrum 1 would like to make a few comments 1) I find it sickening that the only thing a group of people can do is try to stop one of the most momentous occassion of recent, if not all, history The signing of the Israeli-Egypt Peace Treaty. Since the formation of Israel, it has never been at peace with its neighbor. How can it possibly be said that after all they went through to gain peace, Egypt and Israel should not sign a peace treaty. 2) How can the notion of “self-rule”, as defined by the peace treaty, be condemned if it, as yet, has not been settled. The workings of this part of the agreement will be worked out starting four 'weeks after the treaty. In addition to Egypt, Prime Minister Begin said he would talk to Palestinian representatives. The only people Begin has absolutely refused to talk with is the PLO a group that goes around murdering innocent people, a group that absolutely refuses to recognize Israel’s right to exist, a group whose only purpose is the destruction - PLO’s obstinate of Israel and the pushing of its residents into the sea. 3) Free Palestine? Before Israel won the West Bank, in a war started by the Arab countHes, the Jews could not go and set their ancestoral holy shrines. Under the laws of Israel, Jeruselum is now an open city. 4) If all the Palestinians ever wanted was their own country, and not the destruction of Israel, why did they reject the 1947 U.N. proposal that Palestine be divided into two states a Jewish state and an Arab state, totally independent of each other, with Jeruselum "be in an international city? It couldn’t have been because it was also unacceptable to the other side Israel accepted the proposal. 5) As far as the last statement, “Stop the massacure of the Palestinian people in the name of peace”, is concerned, I wish someone could explain what massacre if being refered to. Could they possibly be referring to such defensive attacks as the raid into Lebanon? This was to clear the PLO camps out of this area. By the way, in case you forgot this was indirect response to the PLO bombing, and kiling, of a bus load of innocent people. I must take issue with the letter appearing today (3/26/79) concerning the “massacre of the Palestinian people in the name of peace.” All that may be said about Palestinian rights is clearly blackened by such blatant distortions of fact. - It has been pointed out by numerous political observers that the Palestinians need only accept the provisional self-rule stipulated in the new treaty as a firtt step toward an autonomy that will follow from ts momentum, whether Israel wants it or not.

In their “Infant Laboratory” on the 400 acre ETS “campus” in New Lawrence, Jersey, ETS researchers study the learning processes of babies as yoqng as three months. They prepare “basic skills” tests that require school children to show a command of certain subjects before ,,advancing to the next grade. They provide an admissions test for children wishing to go to the better secondary private schools. Almost all those who have college hopes must take the ETS Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT). Graduates the confront prospective SAT last preparation average of 57 portion of the SAT, and 79 points on the math section, for an overall average of 136 points, enough to make a difference to almost any college admissions director.

What’s frightening is that, unlike those other companies, ETS is virtually unregulated.” Testing the tests ETS escapes many forms of government regulation by virtue of its non-profit status.

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

Coach Kaplan The problem of misuse of test scores is compounded by evidence indicating that the scores can be artificially raised by short or intermediate term “coaching.” This problem goes to the very heart of ETS, which insists that the tests measure “developed ability” acquired ovpr many years, and are not susceptible to coaching.

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

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

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

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

But-his balanced iqa s public support of the amendment Borwn is the disquieting notion that those who are most hurt by his eclectic rhetoric are those who want to support him most: liberals. Liberals are always searching for that leader, the one politician who can combine progressive thought with a large middle of the road constituency. Eugene McCarthy Iwas too radical. George McGovern was too inept. But in Jerry Brown they see a man who thinks young, big and new, a leader who has successfully achieved a varied constituency that includes the Governor employed a different tack.

It is not a dangerous game if played correctly. And Brown is the master of the high wire. Yet, Brown is not engaging in the old political game of discerning where the public stands slice singing its praises and threatening hearts of both the progressive left and the more stable right. Often Brown takes one stand to appease one group, while working actively for the other side. And it appears that the liberals, those who are the State’s history and who is preparing to take his show to the nation in a bid for the presidency. every issue on demagoguery. He neatly explains to the poor that the amendment could be used to importantly, when Brown does take his shot, it is aimed at the enigmatic populist who won the virtually seeks patterns and constituencies, using them as launching pads for his advantage.

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

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

In America students say; “So what.” In France they make up “la bof generation.” “Bof” sort of means “yeah, what about it?” It fits as tightly as the pants and as loosely as the sweaters. Spring is here At least some students read about the steelworker crisis up north by the Belgian border. Threatened by thousands of layoffs, workers have struck, demonstrated, occupied factories and battled riot police, all with the support of the union leaders. Certain towns in Lille and in the Alsace region have been shrouded in tear gas clouds for days, but the north is far and cold and steelworkers have nothing, iero, in common with students here. Back in Grenoble, spring is here. The mornings are still foggy but by mid-day, one is dying to romp in the sun.

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

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

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

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

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

Yearly visits are thus impossible, making the change a bookkeeping device he said Wharton said that his chief complaint at a meeting last week with top SED officials was the uncertainties a -one-year term would create. “It will be virtually impossible to recruit outstanding persons to what could be a temporary situation,” he maintained. Wharton agrued that SED could eliminate programs without a formal cut. “They would just suddenly disappear,” he speculated. Nolan said that SED will continue its lengthy process of terminating programs. “The institution we evaluate and decide to deny renewal reviews our report and has a chance for rebuttal. If we still think it doesn’t meet our standards, we ask them for changes they can suggest within themselves,” he said. While Wharton still questioned the change and its academic impact Friday, Nolan claimed he was mystified by the controversy. “No action is required on the part of the institution,” Nolan said. “A list is sent out every six months citing program status. There are no reports asked for. Everything will happen automatically.” The brief memo is not the only thing bothering SUNY.

This parochialism, which cuts against General Education’s deepest principles in its failure to address cultural bias as a set of attitudes, singles out two groups of victims at a time when the University and the nation are beginning to realize that there are many more. the studetn,” “Every component’s supporters Wrote, “can benefit from an educated understanding of those who are different, as well as learning how those others the many varieties of people who constitute the American national identity view the majority.” This bit of rationale, which is more considered properly rationalization, unfortunately bears little resemblence to the program it is supposed to be justifying. While students can benefit from an understanding of “those who are different,” only women and racial minorities are different enough to be mentioned the affirmative action in component. While “many varieties” of people make up the national identity, only four or five varieties identify the affirmative action component. — — - — Other biases ignored The rhetoric gets totally out of hand when we read that the affirmative action component’s “chief goals’’ are to achieve “some sense of cutlural plurality and an active concern for all people in the society.” These “chief goals” are to be met without addressing Jhe biases against the following groups: the handicapped, the elderly, the mentally retarded, the learning impaired, homosexuals, criminals, any religious group and any foreigner. This obvious flaw in the affirmative action component was pointed out by several Senators and defended in two ways; First, it was claimed that the term “minorities,” which is used in the rationale and proposal itself, naturally refers to all minorities not just women, blacks, Puerto Ricans and Native Americans. Second, it was argued that existing curricula in the University and a growing body of this [affirmative action] disciplinary literature make curriculum is that the student women and racial minorities the constituency has been and mostly ideal ones upon which to focus an continues to be affirmative action component. minorities and women.” Th6 first explanation, of Those familiar with enrollment course, assumes the second is not patterns Studies, in Black true.

This screams at the fallacious logic in basing an affirmative action component upon the “cultural and experiences expressions” of minority groups.

However, the STate fuel storage clause, combined with the vague terminology used, has rendered the pact anything but pleasing. "If more nuclear wastes are stored at cannot guarantee that they would all be eventually removed from there. State Rnergy Commissioner James LaRocca s statement Friday during a brief airport press conference should send shivers through the hills and valleys of Western New York, for it is in these environs that tons of nuclear wastes would be transported and stored for years under Westalley, I Area legislators are not only opposed to the dumping of wastes in their backyard; they are also angered that they had no prior knowledge of or input into LaRocca’s anti-nukes plan. Likewise, and environmentalists feel that previous public hearings on the disposal of West Valley wastes two of them held recently in were a farce. “I object to the Buffalo, way in which the decision was reached in a secretive, high-handed manner,” declared Patrick Crouse, a UB student involved in anti-nuke projects. “deal,” The tentative pact between LaRocca and U.S. Energy James Secretary Schlesinger, announced last week, calls for the Federal government to bear the cost of “eventual” disposal of highly radioactive wastes now present at the Nuclear Fuel Services (NFS) plant at West Valley on the condition of the State’s “interim” of storage additional wastes from — — Another grave concern is that of the NYPIRG pledges The New York Public Interest Research Group, Inc.

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

However, the LaRocca/Schlesmger pact calls for a model waste solidication project to be developed at the West Valley site. Under the deal, the federal government would “ultimately transfer the solidified waste and accumulated spent fuel to a federal waste repository. However, at this time no repository exists, and seven states have barred the placement of permanent repositories in their regions. Thus, many foresee that the NFS site at West Valley could easily become an eternal, rather than exists in riMiK ’ interim, repository West Valley is listed by the Energy Department as one of five possible sites in the US suitable for temporary storage of nuclear wastes. LaRocca has recently speculated that temporary storage would mean at least 10-15 years.

The just announced waste deal has been in the works for as long as 18 months. Crouse noted that Western New York would be a particularly unsuitable region for such an Away From Reactor (AFR) site, because it is an area of high population density with a high rate of annual rainfall.

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

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

If you know where to look for the gray-green shadows of scrubbed-away graffiti, you can read off the anger of generations passed. Near the first floor, the speckled linoleum steps begin to bend ever-so-light)y in their middles, the stairway’s corners become rounded in dust and stubborn scuff marks begin to dart across the baseboard. At the bottom, grime has permanently stained the naked concrete of the basement’s back-floors and the ceiling tiles are chipped and they are not missing altogether. The building is not old, by years, but it has lived through more than most of its occupants can begin to imagine. Late on a December night, when the corridors are empty and the air is motionless, you can hear in the back stairway a faint, rumbling roar from the heating system. With just a little imagination and a sagging where slow blink of the eyes, you can picture the building crumbling right there. Though the roar never stops, slows or builds, it is always gone in the morning. At 7 a.m. each weekday in Haas Lounge, the tattered, cushionless chairs of fdaing orange and turquoise blue stand ne txy in rows, back-to-back like the infantry at morning inspection. You can rest your shoes on the heat register, slide your neck down into the back of the chair and gaze out the biggest picture window in the world at a university streaming by. That pane of glass is so wide and so tall and so thick and so beautiful that it is hard to imagine anyone even daring to take a rock to it. By mid-morning, the chairs have lost some of their order; by mid-afternoon most have been moved somewhat; and by early evening, the lounge is in total disarray, the chairs turned at dozens of odd angles to accommodate small circles of friends or the studier who must prop his feet up. Newspapers are scattered about on every conceivable surface and cigarette butts litter the dulling floor. Every night when the traffic stops and a solitary reader sits, ( waiting fo. - a ride, the blue-shirted custodians dutifully reassemble the lounge, sweeping the floors clean and carefully placing the chairs back in their long, orderly rows back-to-back, with ashtrays every ten chairs or so.

Posters and other paper-notices part of the character of any college campus line the walls, battling for the eye at busy intersections and crowding each other off the bulletin boards like refugees on the last boat. As the week wears on, the posters and signs proliferate: riders to New Paltz, rides to New'York, sub-letters for Minnesota, charter - — — Europe, (lights to guitar, African dance, Disco On Saturday lectures on China, lessons in evening, Friday night at the movies, a moving van cheap, anything that happens or will happen is posted somewhere, somehow, on some piece of paper. And always, always, on every floor, magazines at cheap rates. Not many people know it, but every Sunday evening, the night managers systematically strip the walls of all paper so that the cycle can begin again Monday morning. There is a man who sits in the Rathskellar every night before, during and after the dinner hour and reads newspapers usually two or three, all the way through. There is another man, a medical doctor and — professor, who sits in the Rathskellar during the samahours, either talking with students or musing to himself over coffee. There is a third man, who stands in the east doorway on the first floor handing out religious literature to students who don’t want it. He is there winter,,spring, summer and fall and he barely says a word or breaks from his slight, hopeful smile. He probably sees every student in this University pass by him afleast'once. I had "to work late on a winter night last January. There was blizzard watch that evening, and the radio blared every 15 rairtutes with weather reports warning that the storm could be a rerun of the Blizzard of ’77. The building was closed early and by 10 the halls were quiet and empty. Outisde my window, the winds had pushed up six-foot drifts at the corners of buildings and torn every trace of snow from the walkways that cross the fountain area. After considering, and deciding against an all-night stay, I commandered a long blue scapf that someone had left in the office and prepared to leave, dressing carefully as 1 listened to the shrieking of the gale-force wind. I took the back stairway to the loading dock door, the only one left unchained at this hour. Pushing it open against a four-foot drift, I slipped out into the midnight air, stiffening myself for blasts of icy air that I knew had to come. After about a dozen steps, 1 stopped. The snow-streaked winds were roaring above me, forcing the trees to bend at obscene angles. Lights from the parking lot in front of me barely glimmered through the swirling haze. Tire tfacks disappeared ahead into snow drifts that shifted and reshjfted with each gust of wind. A blizzard Buffalo style. But all this was going on 20 yards ahead of me. Squire Hall’s loading tunnel, with its high concrete walls, had left me a pocket of calr', str-ngely warm air on this savagely cold night. I was standing in the eye of the storm, comfortably observing winter’s rage, when I turned my head and noticed a light left on in the third floor / corner office. And 1 thought about it for a long, long time before trudging off into the wind. — '' �daymondaymondaymondaymon feedback I VI Stop General Education To the Editor. SOAF To the Editor. To the student body: For the past few months at the University of Buffalo the student body has been besieged (seemiirgly daily) by suggested policy changes. Out of this confusion three major areas of controversy have arisen; The threatened implementation of a tuition hike, the Springer Report, and General Education. These proposed changes will effect all students to some degree, from mild incovenience for some to drastic life changes for others. Yet in all the muddle the problems students will one thing stands clear face if these changes are implemented have not been given enough consideration. Thus, in the opinion of our organization, SOAF (Save Our Academic Freedom), the rights of the students have been seriously violated. The purpose of SOAF is to insure that the the students at this University will receive the same decision-making considerations as the administration and faculty when changes are being — implemented. We specifically address ourselves to the issues of the Springer Report and General Education. Many attempts have been made to block the proposed tuition hike and we praise these efforts. However as of now no drive to block Springer and General Ed has been organized. Students at this Universi y must become aware of the consequences an increased course load will have. With the split campus it is necessary for most students to use the inter :ampur transporation system. Anyone who has stood waiting for a bus in sub-zero weather is aware that ai best this system is inadequate. To even suggest that this system can handle a far greater load is the height of absurdity. Are the administrators of this University serious when they suggest the system will be able to handle the changes the Springer Report will bring? Apparently the prospect of students waiting in the cold for prolonged periods is a r acceptable by-product of the increased course load to the administration. However it is in NO WAY acceptable to us. Even more pressing is the problem faced by students who have full or part time-jobs. To countless TJB students these jobs are what enables them to continue their education. Surely the administration must be aware of these and countless other problems yet they continue to push for fall implementation of the Srpinger Report. This clearly illustrates that the administration is grossly insensitive to the needs of students, an attitude we no longer wish to stand for. On the issue of General Education our position is clear and simple. As students we will pursue our education as we see fit.' Specified requirements within a major are reasonable and we realize they do benefit us. However, it is the right of students to pursue their own interests outside of career goals. We are not fooled by the administration’s claim that it is acting in our interest. An administration which callously suggests that the Srpinger Report be full knowledge (with of its implemented consequences to students) cannot possibly be concerned with our interests when it comes to General Education. This letter has only touched on a few of the goals of our organization and the porblems we must deal with. Anyone who shares our views on these matters and has other ideas of their own is urged to contact us and express themselves with letters to The Spectrum and Reporter. Please call 636-4775, 831-5386 or talk with us in Squire Hall. Eric Rothman member ofSOAF This letter is in regard to the Faculty Senate meeting 13 March at which General Education requirements were considered. It is evident that a prevailing negative view of students is widespread in this University’s faculty and adrrflnistration. Especially belittling are their statements that students are unwilling to take courses out of their discipline. Another crucial point is the attitude toward free electives held by many members of the Faculty Senate. The proposed General Education Program also neglects a paramount point its - proper implementation. First consider the faculty’s negative view of students. General Education is a cogent concept essential to the development of intelligent, plan well-rounded the individuals; however, introduced by the Committee which Dean Peradotto controls is constricting, regimented, and devoid of any suggestion of students’ dignity concerning their right to choose what they feel should be learned. This reflects the thinking of many in the Faculty Senate, the General Education Committee, and the Administration, who assume a repugnant idea; that the students at this University are ignorant. That implication is a personal affront to every student in this University. The necessary skills and awareness of other disciplines cannot be well fostered by such a that policy totalitarian education forces participation. Interest in other disciplines and improvement in skills must be developed in a palatable atmosphere that encourages their learning. This dynamic evolution can only be addressed by programs initiated on the elementary school level continuing on through high school. Dean Peradotto’s Proposal does not encourage learning, it mandates courses; it treats symptoms not the disease. Senator Wickert stated that no teacher likes to “teach a captive audience.” We agree. The Proposal, however, will only create captive audiences. Many introductory courses in the Social Sciences and in the Sciences foster competition measured against a bell curve. Most professors forget what it was like to be a day-to-day university student: they forget that competition is no basis for learning. Learning cannot competitive accomplished easily be a in environment. Learning should be an intellectual experience, not a punishable offense for those who cannot compete as well as others. Human beings seek to avoid punishment, hence students will avoid distribution courses that dole out such punishment. The nature of the courses involved should have been examined, not the entire distribution system. Our profession-oriented society has procreated a screw-the-course-l-need-the-grade mentality amongst students. Because of this English majors do not think of taking Organic Chemistry because of the competition with overly grade conscious pre-med and pre-dent students in those courses. The same holds for pre-law majors who will not risk a “C” in Physics 113. This is the prevailing problem with distribution requirements for students at UB. This type of environment is not a learning environment. And the new problem does not address this problem. The defeat of the Rising Amendment on 13 March, an amendment that would have reduced the number of General Education courses from 13 to 8, meant the elimination of the free elective system at this University. Senator Wickert rejected this idea stating there was free choice within the General Education knowledge areas. Wickert refered to his — - English Department as a primary example of .this free choice because of its 100+ courses. What fail to realize is that Wickert and his free; perhaps, to some perhaps the choice is students, picking an English course from this catalog is choosing the lesser of over a hundred evils. Couple that with the student' who must choose between 101, Physics 107, or Social Science 101, keeping in mind the monolith of nit-picking knowledge required to be spewed back in those courses. To many that is not free choice at all. True, Chemistry according to individual student taste. Add to this the fact that there are no non-major Physical Science courses currently available at UB. Fears will not be assuaged by being forced into a course of study students feel trepidation for due to past experience or to the nature peculiar to the particular course or courses involved. Those courses simply will not be palatable enough for the student. Consider also that not all courses offered will be considered General Education courses. Freedom of choice academic freedom for is necessary. That is why Rising’s students amendment was right for the student: it gave some freedom of choice and at least some opportunity for election. The General Education plan provides many students the opportunity to elect only two or three courses outside the General Education Program in a full college career. That does not allow for pursuit of alternate academic interests. For Social Science majors today, up to 14 four credit electives are now available. General Education will cut this by 6 42 percent. That is quite a cut and quite a blow to free choice. In other areas the cuts are worse, as much as 100 percent. We believe that students should be allowed free choice.‘A university is no place for such complete restrictions to be placed upon the mind. If Freedom is a basic tenet of this Republic, then surely freedom of choice should be ceded as a basic Right to this University’s students. Yes, knowledge of other cisciplines is essential, but not to the point where it will prevent in-depth study of personal academic interests. We do not think that the General Education Proposal will lead to the sought after decrease in attrition at UB. Indeed, it will add to it, and interested high school seniors will turn to more congenial academic havens than SUNY Buffalo, the school many chose because of exactly those freedoms now being eroded. Finally we come to one of the most ignominious consequences of the General Education Proposal the slow but certain eventual garrotting of The Colleges system. The Colleges are funded by student enrollment in Colleges courses. Three weeks ago, Dean Peradotto of DUE perpetrated an ugly, pernicious blow to The Colleges by not allowing twenty of the scores of Colleges courses to be granted distribution credit, once again denying the legitimacy that The Colleges have sought for so long. The Colleges are the very embodiment of what the educational experience should be: vibrant, innovative, enlightening, and alive. Since free electives determine The Colleges’ budget, and free electives will be dramatically reduced, The Colleges will not be able to pay for their courses and will soon cease to exist. No clear, definitive mention of The Colleges was made explicit in the General Education Proposal, nor was their role within it clearly delineated as part of the knowledge areas. This omission, we believe, was deliberate. The administration has found a henchman, they have manipulated an executioner who will do their - — - — dirty-work. In closing we address the student body. You can stop the implementation of the General Education Proposal. You owe it to yourselves and to those future students who will attend UB to do this. If you do not make a determined stand, this University will continue to walk all over you. And this University does yield to student demands: dt has in the past. Education is a Right. You have a stake in it. You pay for it via state taxes and tuition. You should help mold the decision on how you run your academic life. Do not leave this matter solely to the Faculty Senate. This University needs you, not vice-versa. You cannot let your apathy bring about your doom. We call upon the SA, residents of The Colleges, and the entire UB student body to work together with supportative faculty. Faculty Senators, and staff to bring about at least the reinstatement of the Rising Amendment. Together with you, we can beat this, but all of us have to want to beat it, and we have to organize towards these ends with clear and concise goals and methods in mind. Social Sciences do have non-major courses but they are specific in scope, thus narrow and exclusionary Ken Honig Support the Palestinians To the Editor: The Organization of Arab Students and the Arab American Federation of Western New York at Buffalo conduct a protest against the peace treaty oS Sadat-Carter-Begin. We see the treaty as an exclusive approval of Begin’s proposals and a whole sell-out of the Palestinians. The peace treaty of 1979 is a new Balfour Declaration which gave the Zionists the promise of a homeland in 1917. Now Carter is continuing the mission of Balfour to .fulfill the dreams of the Zionists in ripping the Palestinians from their human, historical and political rights. The so called “self-rule” that is proposed by the Peace Treaty is a united imperialist Zionist effort and a complete conspiracy against the human rights of the Palestinians victims. But history has proved the unity of victims is always stronger than any kind of unity amongst the victimizers. The moral decision is to join the victims against the victimizers. The urgent call of the Palestinians, who are ripped off of their homes, their human rights, their dignity, and their ancestral memories in the name of “peace” is to have your awareness vivid, your consciousness raised, and you action ethical. Raise your voice with us and say “No” to Carter, “No’ to Begin and “No” to Sadat. Say “No” to the new holocaust. Yes, can be said and must be said to Palestinian rights and justice. We call for a complete and immediate withdraw! of the Israeli forces from occupied Palestine. The Palestinians’ fundamental issue is the right to return to the total soil of Palestine the main issue is to have a home in a free Secular Palestine. Stop the Israeli Occupation! Stop the Israeli settlements on our land! Stop the massacre of the Palestinian people in the name of peace. — - Organization of Arab Students. �m t photos by Buddy Korotkln and Dennis Floss completely forgotten in the minds of Buffalonians. The building is the Delaware and Lackawanna Railroad Terminal, usually called the D&LW Station, a relic of glory Buffalo's past as a major transportation center that may fall victim to the necessities of the city's transit . future. The D&LW was built in 1917 as a major commercial link between Great Lakes steamers and the railroads. Cargoes from the freighters could be quickly and easily transferred into railroad cars and vice-versa. Ip this way, much of the produce, livestock and iron ore could be shipped to the large metropolitan centers of the Northeast at the lowest possible cost. In return, the cities sent back textiles, processed foods and machinery to the agricultural areas of the Midwest. This pattern of trade persisted for almost 45 years until 1963 when the D&LW Station was closed down. Since then it has stood empty and alone, stripped of everything of value, including its place in Buffalo as a source of pride. Now it is often described as an eyesore or a ruin. _ The DL&W: 'a relic of Buffalo's past glory' by Joel DIMarco Along Buffalo's little used waterfront sits one very old steel and brick structure that is not only unused, and in disrepair but Conflicting interests Recently, however, city officials have decided to make use of the old station, but just what to use it for has become a source of disagreement between the Niagara Frontier Transportation Authority (NFTA), and various community leaders and politicians. The NFTA wants to remodel the building into the LRRT's southern terminal to maintain and store trains for the new Light Rail Rapid (LRRT) project The plan calls for the Transit rr rehabilitation of much of the structure so that the LRRT electric trains may pass through the building onto a circular turn-around track for the trip back up to the northern terminal here at UB's Main St. Campus. Portions of the station would be converted workshops to for the maintenance and repair of the LRRT trains. But the main disagreement between the NFTA and the city doesn't concern the main portion of the station at all. NFTA plans call for the tearing down of that part of the stationknown as the Main Passenger Building. The NFTA claims that the building stands in the path of the LRRT train tracks and is beyond rehabilitation anyway. But some community leaders, particularly James DiBlasi of Allentown and Ed Janulionis, a local developer, would like to see the building transformed into a shopping center. Such rehabilitation projects have become the latest trend in the field of architectural rehabilitation. For example, in San Francisco, right next to the famous Fisherman's Wharf, an old fish canning factory has been converted into a popular and unique shopping mall knoyyn as The Cannery. Many city officials believe a similar miracle can be worked on the Main Passenger Building here. 'Lincoln bush design' Proponents of the scheme admit there is little in the way of murals or masonry work that is worth saving. Unlike the central train station on Paderewski Drive, the D&LW station was designed more to handle freight than passengers. Whatever may have been beautiful or elegant in the station was removed when the building was abandoned or has since been defaced by vandals and the elements. But Gary Merrifield, a UB student majoring in Architectural Rehabilitation, says that the structure alone is worth saving and restoring on its own merits. He insists that the basic structure is essentially intact despite the hopelessness of the building's appearance. Glass and other debris are strewn all over the building and there are a number of holes in the walls and floors, some of them quite large. Merrifield also concedes that "most of the roof material is giving out". However, Merrifield, who has made devising means of the D&LW redesigning an academic project of his, says the building has its good points. For example, the train sheds, where the trains routinely stopped to unload passengers and freight, are of "a significant Lincoln Bush design" and are unique. But Merrifield and Janulionis propose to use the building more for the good pf ail rather than to simply save it as a - to the past They say converting the station into a shoppingcenter would be consistent with the city's drive to revitalize downtown-business and "would act to complement the Convention monument Center," says Merrifield. Furthermore, plans to rehabilitate the Main Passenger Building not designed to stand in the way of the LRRT project, but rather to accompany it. It is right next to the southern terminal of the rapid transit line and the shopping center would be easily accessible to shoppers if the NFTA would �f <0 3 Light glints through a maze of shattered glass. Not a single pane in the entire abandoned D&LW railway station on the Buffalo waterfront remains intact Clouds of choking dust exist everywhere blanketing the-once regal marble tiled floor, much like snow after a heavy storm. The skeletal frame is all that remains of this cathedral-like edifice. What once housed one of the Great Lakes' busiest terminals is now in tatters: a refuge for birds, bats, vandals and bums Once inside the main lobby, the thick chalky air becomes overwhelming. A sense of emotional struggle is conveyed in the harsh contrast between the violent reds and shimmering yellows of the graffiti on the walls and the dreary dark haze of the air. Swastikas and other denigrating blurbs are splattered everywhere. Nothing is sacred in this place. All that is left now of what was once a sweeping marble staircase is the cracked foundation, glazed with a mixture of glass, wood and ice. Climbing the cluttered steps is perilous. The crunching resounds throughout what resembles a city under siege. The ice has cemented everything. It's holding the jagged debris together. Paint from the ceiling peels off and sails to the floor. Once at the top, collapsing walls brace the one time balcony which has been stripped of the brass railings. Only the fastening holes embedded in the off-white concrete remain. Steel plumbing suggests a baroque drinking fountain now dismantled. The cracked floor is visible through the ice. Broken benches are scattered, toppled about.

The D&LW Station is currently owned by the city and theoretically the Common Council will be the final arbiters of its fate. But the Council, Mayor James Griffin and Dean Harold Cohen Architecture and of UB's School of Environmental Design are locked in a dispute with the NFTA over where the LRRT station ip the downtown Theater District will be located. The NFTA would like to build it on the 600 block of Main Street; Theater District supporters would rather have it on the 700 block. To settle the issue, both sides might be willing to swap. The Council might let the NFTA have its way with the D&LW Station in exchange for having the Theater District station on the 700"block. If chances for rehabilitating the i tiay be on even thinner ibe than The NFTA has received an ,'t. unconditional go-ahead from State and Federal officials and is anxious to get the LRRT project moving. More important, the NFTA has "eminent domain" that is, it can condemn and remove all structures, both public and privately owned, that stand in the way of the LRRT in the name of the public good. Citing this, the NFTA has set a deadline of Paril 2 for developers and architects to present viable ways of restoring the D&LW Station. Should the deadline pass without such a plan being presented, then the D&LW Station will be gone and, perhaps sadly, utterly forgotten. destructive powers.

The Faculty of Engineering & Applied Sciences % Student Government will hold UB classroom usage examined Is it Diefendorf 147, Crosby 350, Acheson 5 or Foster 110? A search for the University’s worst lecture hall, begun with today’s survey of students and faculty, is expected to expose the worst offender. The Implementation Springer Steering Committee (SIS) has initiated the search in a effort to utilize room space most efficiently. An increase in course load from four to five courses next fall is expected to encourage hordes of students, especially seniors, to register for less demanding introductory courses. To meet that extra demand,-departments will either have to increase the number of sections per class not likely except in isolated cases or expand class sizes. Committee member William George, an engineering professor, asserted that rhany of UR’s lecture halls suffer from poor lighting, muffled accoustics and inadequate blackboard space. “We' have big rooms on this campus that are disasterous,” George said. Communication between instructor and students or “the educational delivery system,” as the SIS calls it, may be improved through the use of public address equipment, supplemental blackboards and a proposed system of matching instructors with classes. — — According to George, “articulate, high powered lecturers” can now be found teaching classes of 25 students, while more timid instructors are found teaching classes of 400. “We should match up the person with the class,” George said. “Anyone can teach effectively in front of 25 students.” Improving lecture hall quality became necessary when a Springer subcommittee, chaired by student representative Michael Bergstein, reported Friday that the expected increase in course demand should be absorbed by the current sections, both in day lectures and in Millard Fillmore College (MFC) night classes. Bergstein recommended that some night classes, which now hold a maximum of 80 students, Committee on statement The following is a statement from the Springer Implementation Steering Committee to the University Community: We are on record as being particularly concerned about the educational delivery system at UB particularly those problems arising from inadequate classrooms and the more intangible problems qf the ability of instructors and students to function in such rooms, We shall, in the coming weeks, attempt to identify specific classroom problems which can be individually addressed, and to raise the general level of consciousness of the University about the importance of the instructor class facilities match. - UB PLACEMENT 831-5291 li & at 7 pm in 206 Furnas Hall (AC) All undergraduate Engineering students are urged to attend. Refreshments to follow - be transferred to the larger lecture rooms, such as Diefendorf 146, 147 or 148, allowing day students to take those closed_ out sections at night. Among the courses Bergstein cited as potential overload problems next fall are Macroeconomics 181, Psychology 101, Sociology 101, Philosophy 10). Bergstein did not think Math or Natural Sciences would be plagued by overload demand. “1 can’t see any junior or senior filling up with Calculus or Chemistry 101,” he said. To facilitate schedule changes for students in the that a SIS recommended September, supplemental class schedule (SARA) be printed showing additional sections if any, and any other Soro The SIS will analyze the survey results and recommend specific classroom modifications in the coming weeks.

Senate Meeting TODAY (3/26) at 5:00 pm —Smith SEEPING TOXICS: Mike Cuddy (far left), coordinator of the Lowe Canal Task Force, describes the unique logistical problems of dealing with waht may only by the first of many chemical disposal disasters in the United States. Speaking at the Lowe Canal conference at the Woldman Theatre Thursdas night Cuddy said that 'nobody is qtecifically trained' to cope with the Niagara Falls crisis. To the right of Cuddy are Lowe Canal panelists Charles Ebert, Joe Fogarty. Phillip Taylor, Adeline Lewine and Bewerly Paigen. in Talbert Senate Chamber, Amherst Campus Love Canal implied, would be the boost in the power and reputation of national and state health organizations, he were which, observed, beginning to be labelled as inefficient “bureacracies.” Mike Brown, ,then a reporter for the Niagara Falls Gazette and one of the first journalists to describe the terrible condition of the middle class neighborhood, claimed, “We kept it in the News.” However, Brown was not too enthusiastic about all of the coverage the contaminated area received. The State’s efforts have been too widely criticized, he noted, while Hooker Chemical’s have gone less reprimanded. The State and Federal involvement governments’ however.

The second conference, Thursday night, described the “Dimensions of the Problem” and its emotional, as well as crippling physical effects, on Love Canal residents.

For a project costing $3 million, the necessary industrial insurance reached $1.3 million. The project involves sealing the many chemical filled holes and ditches which have sprung up, as well as digging circular trenches to quell the outward flow of the seeping liquids. “Everybody’s unhappy about how Love Canal has been handled,” Cuddy said. “Nobody is specifically trained.” Through the State’s Uniform Relocation Act, he said, “156 families have been moved successfully relocated” out of the neighborhood at the State’s expense. Biology researcher Paigen insisted tfiat while it is commendable that the State has bought some houses destroyed by the leaking chemicals, maybe as many as 500 more families shouldbe removed. presents Hester Street — Starring Carol Kane (Oscar Award Nominee) Nervous ailments Paigen institued her own separate from research survey the State’s effort — Squire Hall - - possible at 7:30 pm to uncover a between relationship - Love Canal residents and diseases and their residences.

Loss of control A member of the audience, Murray professor Levine, tried to discount the State’s health survey because it was designed to underestimate the health ailments of the residents. Concurred Paigen: “One women I eight met had suffered miscarriages” said Paigen. She was afraid that if she recorded this on the State survey, the information would have been made public she said. Since many of the families in the affected area were involved in the chemical industry or were used to the stench of chemicals, many of the “working class people were accustomed to living with hazards,” said UB Professor of Sociology Adelaine Levine. “Some of the residents there appeared to be in mourning,” she said. The families have experienced “role relationship alterations,” she said, due to a “loss of control over their own lives.” All of the effort the homeowners have put into the building and furnishing of their homes appear to many to be in vain, she said. “There is a great sense of weariness,” Levine said. “Their dreams are gone now.” The sociological impact of this disaster one unlike any other is particularly crucial to study, Levine noted, because “This could happen Urall of us.” Psychology — — �■p I iZT'p/p^ w fc: V- fa Frisbee Club debuts with two tough losses After spending countless hours on the road en route to Rensselear Polytechnic Institute (RPl), the UB Frisbee club finally got in a few hours of competition in their season debut, but the matches with RPl and Brandeis University could best be described as learning UB lost both experiences. matches, 18-11 to Brandeis and first goal of the year when Greg Kurtz took a swift feed from teammate Gene Pien, cat along the baseline and crossed the goal line unmolested. Later, after knotting the tally at three apiece, Buffalo sat back and watched Brandeis jump ahead 10-6 at the half and UB was unable to ever bridge the gap. Captain Randy West and the Buffalo crew were next pitted against the eventual tournament winner, host RP1. UB got off slowly in the opening minutes, dropping to a 5-0 deficit before waking up. One of UB’s returning veterans, Joe Balierczak, rallied the Bulls with some razor-sharp passing to sophomores Dan Hinckley and Jeff Evenson. Still, any scoring proved too little, too late this time, because at the final gun, Buffalo had dropped the decision 15-7. With only 11 players on Jts roster, problems UB had stemming from a simple lack of manpower. In a game that requires a high degree of stamina and sprinting, Buffalo was worn down before'the RPI event even started. As an indication of their fatigue, Buffalo ended up resorting to deep tosses instead of trying to gradually move the disc 15-7 to RPl. Starting their initial game at the ungodly hour of 11 p.m., the Bulls ran into a staunch Brandeis attack Trailing 1-0, UB picked up its SUNY New Paltz Overseas Program 9th Year University of Paris Sorbonne Undergraduates in philosophy & related majors earn 30 32 credits in regular Sorbonne (Paris IV) courses.

Although funds were okayed for the initial design of Phase II some time ago, the STate Division of Budget (DOB) did not release them. Neal said that his department would check into the status of the design funds within a month. Phase II is generally considered to be the more important project, housing a pool, several small gyms for a variety of sports and a gym with three basketball courts.

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

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

While Campus Editor " Inside: Gen Ed: parlez-vous espagnol?—P. 7 / Gale creates chaos—P. 11 / SUNY administrators reel in confusion, some speculate that SED is pulling a power play on the impotent State universities. Others view the dictum as an added spark in the blazing battle between SUNY Central and SED. Historically, some maintain, the major bureaucratic powers in the State-S'JNY Central, the Division of the Budget and SED have been embroiled in a constant struggle for power. Several SUNY administrators asked not to be quoted directly on the sensitive issue. While one source charged that the lack of explanation was an attempt by SED to “show its power,” another surmised that perhaps the reason had been intentionally obscured by SUNY. A czardom “1 purposely sent out a cover letter with the SED memorandum in order not to inflame anyone or have SED claim I am trying to smear its program,” said Perdue. He adamantly maintained that an explanation had “not really” been presented. !S Nonflaily,” he said, “The SED Chairman sends out a notice which is followed by a hearing. Sometimes the body listens, sometimes it just goes ahead without listening. But this was never up for a hearing.” Perdue cited in an earlier interview with The Spectrum the need to know “how” the change works and “why” it is important. SED Assistant Commissioner of Program Review Don Nolan was not available for comment. Ketter viewed the action as “a directive.” He explained that although SUMY can have input, “registration is a power of SED."

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

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

In 1976, through a contractual loophole, NFS absolved itself of any further responsibility for the nuclear wastes it had generated. The West Valley plant storage pools are presently two-thirds full, 170 tons of used holding (“spent”) nuclear fuel rods, Hoyt noted. Storage of any additional rods, he speculated; would require expansion of the facilities.

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

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

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

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

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

Solid steel foundations welded into geometric shapes allow light to penetrate the attached frosted glass at different points. Varying shades of light are projected on the glass, providing a sense of delicacy that merges with the steel’s solidity. The simplicity of design in Wilmarth’s constructions draws the viewer’s attention to the varying shades of light on the glass rather than the steel structures surrounding it. Representative is "Calling,” a trapezoidal structure with a frosted glass front on which three changing shades of light are projected. Artist Charles Fahlen’s wall reliefs (employing wood, resin, masonite, steel, rhoplex and gauze), present a similar sense of solidity. Fahlen’s choice of materials in works like "Wonderland” two diamonds connected at one corner construed of wood paneling and composition board, demonstrates his interest in textural patterns. Fahlen’s designs are rooted in Constructivist logic, calling to mind the works of Mondrian and Glarner. In at least two respects, Robert Lawrance Lobe’s "Lands End at Mushaboon” looming at the entrance to the Albright-Knox Art Gallery’s current Eight Sculptors exhibition is representative of the entire collection. Lobe’s aluminum tree trunk-rock formation is highly personal statement and it employs both unique materials and technique. But this is where the similarity ends in this collection of the latest works by sculptors Ira Joel Haber, Steve Keister, Don Gummer, Michael Singer, Christopher Wilmarth, Deborah Butterfield, and Charles Fahlen. In fact, the exhibit purports to demonstrate the diversity of contemporary sculptors. No one theme or technique dominates; rather, each work takes on the unique characteristics of the creatbr’s — imagination. - “The idea of the arrangement,” explained exhibit curator and organizer^ Douglas Schultz, “is to give each artist his own gallery to work within the space it provides.” The result is a highly diverse collection of sculptures with no particular theme other than a kind of individualistic sensibility that is reflected in all contemporary American art. Multi-dimensional Opposed to Lobe’s deceptively massive earthbound tree trunk are the floating geometric abstractions of Steve Keister With a dependence on the space of- the room, Keister’s wooden constructions (covered with materials including gum rubber, snakeskin, sued| and paint) are suspended from the ceiling in such a way that the viewer’s perception of the shape of each work changes as he moves around the room. Light also plays an important role in his work with several pieces emitting an eerie glow. Keister’s provacative wood sculptures play on a sense of transience with their chameleonic character. Altered perception plays a part in Ira Robert Lobw' *Umd» End at Mushaboon' I Aluminum tculptun foamingat axhibit entrance Joel Haber’s mixed media dioramas of nature scenes, offering two simultaneous viewing dimensions. Haber’s works could be considered the sculptural equivalents of Escher’s multi-dimensional etchings. His dioramas consist of paint spattered plastic model houses enveloped by miniature trees, rocks and shrubberies appearing to grow unchecked by any kind of human, interference. The scenes are planted on the floor of wall mounted glass enclosures and run up the back walls to provide the Escher-like sense of disorientation. The result, in works like "The Edge," is a surrealistic journey through imaginary landscapes in which nature has run amuck. “The Edge’s” aerial view of a seascape eeri(y beckons the viewer to literally jump over the edge. Solid In contrast to Haber’s loosely constructed landscapes are Don Gummer’s precise bridge-like wall reliefs." Gummer’s interest in architecture is clearly evident in works such as “Crossvault” and "Courtyard,” both solid wood frameworks constructed on three different planes painted black, white and grey to heighten die effect of depth. Artistic freedom Deborah Butterfield and Michael Singer are each represented by one piece. Both express a reverence for nature evident in use of mud, sticks and straw in her "Four Horses’’ and Singer’s use of rocks, branches and wood slats in "Ritual Balance Series.” Butterfield’s simple life-sized fhud and stick horses brings back one’s childhood wonder of nature. Singer’s wooden contrastingly complex "superstructure” seated on rocks several inches above the floor, celebrates nature with its vertical bunched of tree branches that appear to ceremoniously reach for the heavens. Eight Sculptors successfully exhibits the individualistic freedom of interpretation that has been the goal of all ahlsts in the past decade. The exhibition will run / through April 29.

His struggle and reactions wfere as vivid as the shock from an ungrounded microphone, and we found ourselves drawn into his mania as if it was our own McVan’s is a strange place. It has a wide room with low ceilings. This main room, which contains the stage, dance floor, and tables is very dim and dotted with supporting arches. The total effect is that of a subterranean level of a coal mine.

Unfortunately, the deficiencies of the setup at McVan’s prevented much of the audience from having a chance to fully experience Caie’s music. The jumpers opened for Cale. They are local heroes, and not without reason. Their energy never flagged; their stage presence catalyzed the crowd and had them, well, jumping. But it seems that with the departure of Bob Kozak, their previous rhythm guitarist, their sound has suffered a bit The lone guitar work of Scott Michael is simply not accurate, varied, orrhythmically interesting fenough to carry the melodic weight of the whole band. And while much of their songwriting is excellent (having th6 feeling of "instant classics"), their new single “Sick Girls” seems a shameless Etvis Costello rip-off: the chords taken from “Lip Service,” the words from “This Year’s Girl.” „ - Cale came out into general darkness, as was his preference. He wore a classic punker’s uniform: white shirt and skinny black tie, leather pants and arc-welding goggles. They launched into a slow, hypnotic riff, but as Cale began to play, he was greeted by strong electric shucks from an ungrounded microphone. (Les Harvey, former lead guitarist of Stone the Crows, was killed onstage from similar shocks a few years back.)

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

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

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

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

Much the same can be said of Ron Liebman. Also known for his TV work, Liebman is excellent in probably his best film role yet. Also deserving of mention is veteran actor Pat Hingle as Norma Rae’s father. Hingle’s rqle adds a bit of generational feuding to the script as a father who cannot understand why his daughter is causing so much trouble, yet who loves and backs her just the same. Hingle ably portrays the confused yet compassionate parent. Questions? But all is not perfect with Norma Rae. Unfortunately Ritt’s two themes do not conclude satisfactorily, preventing the film from emerging as a masterful work.

Love Stones by New Women is a brilliant collection of short stories which does exactly this. Printed by Red Clay Books, a woman’s publishing house, Love Stories seeks to uncover women’s changing sense of self and how they apply this knowledge to their relationships. Instead of revamping stories by tried and true women writers, editors Charleen Swansea and Barbara Campbell collected stories from new writers all over America. Eighteen stories were selected to publicize the female struggle against traditional values and norms. Men are not seen as the sole objects of love and hate. Women search for alternatives, comparing male/female relationships to a type of madness from $ / 4 —* Men are not seen as the sole objects of love and hate. Women search for alternatives, comparing male/female relationships to a type of madness from which they need to escape. escape. Some find solace in other material objects, or from animals others look inside themselves in their battered self-images. Some discover the only way to find strength and self-esteem is to remain alone. Such is the conclusion of “Learning to Meditate,” by Helen Barolini, whose main character is criticized and scolded for refusing to remain an appendage to man, after she is widowed. Another heroine arrives at a similar conclusion in Barbara Level I’s'story, “A Woman in Love with a Bottle,” where the crystal Smirnoff bottle becomes infinitely more enticing than any man’s body. By the erotic and humorous parallel between drinking and making love, Lovell escapes writing another tired, alcoholic housewife cliche. Rather, she unites the concept of love with addiction and succeeds in giving us a readily identifiable account ofalcoholism. which they need to women, some from and alcohol, while an effort to revive "Leaving,” by Margaret Gibson, follows a woman’s mind as it slides in and out of a wishful, fantasy world. We participate in a strange game or conversation contrived, perhaps, to relieve the author of any blame or guilt she may have felt over a failed relationship. Manipulated by her continuous train of illusions, we are bounced back and forth from our world to hers, shifting from the images of a My favorite in the collection is a short piece called "The Wedding Trip” by Lloyd Rose. The story follows a nervous, virginal bride who behaves as if in a trance throughout her wedding and the car trip to a hotel. While driving, the couple pick up an odd woman hitchhiker. Like a Hitchcock film, the detailed images grow more and more ominous until they erupt in sudden, unexpected violence at the end, leaving the reader stunned. The stories differ widely from each other in style and structure. While some stick to straight narrative, others experiment freely. Although a few of the stories suffer from severe overstatement and plot confusion, on the whole, they are well developed and organized. All are written with intense honesty and a direct emotional force combining to personally involve the reader. Absent from this collection is the stereotype of ‘flowery’ language often associated with women writers. Not only can we (earn a great deal about writing from Love Stories, but we can also come to a better understanding of the new and complex problems facing modern women within our relationships. Men, as well as women, will benefit from this book.iBy asking unanswerable questions in an innovative, explosive way, these ‘love stories’ will surely help anyone who seeks to know more about him/herself and others in our changing society.

The album begins with "Someday My Prince Will Come,” a tribute to Miles, the Dark Prince who brought both pianists into some very wide open lyrical spaces during the 60’s. The rendition of this lovely ballad flows and flies like gentle winds sweeping rain across summer fields lushly green. Very tender and direct in depth. George Gershwin’s "Liza” provides a cascading, playful vehicle for the duo to display some very explicit chops. The runaway virtuosity (speed and dexerity) conjures images of Fats Waller or Art Tatum bearing down on the stride. Hancock's "February Moment” is a solo performance by the tune’s composer.

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

There are quiet carrels and study rooms available, and our hours are, in general, longer. Maybe these students who prefer studying at Law could tell us what we’re missing! We’d like to know. 1 We do have lots of students here, however, and some of them are devout smokers, which has raised a few testy comments from both smokers and non-smokers alike.

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

Loan periods vary from two hours to one semester, according to the type of material borrowed. Fees and charges range from 25 cents per day/per item for special borrowers (non-University members), 25 cents per hour (maximum $ 1 per day) for reserve material, 50 cents per day/per item for sources on recall, and 50 cents per day/per item for art material.

Men and women alike claim that males are privileged members of society, having all the power and advantages. Feminists, outraged at the abasement of women, protest their “oppression by men” and characterize them as the enemies of women, hurling epithets like - 882-8ZOO “male chauvinist pig.” What is now only being realized is that men, in their role as oppressors, are themselves oppressed. The demand to be forever masculine, forever dominant, drains away life and stifles potential as effectively, if not more so, as the insistence on female subservience. Overprivilege, male liberation activists claim, can be as oppressive as underprivilege. Men are the victims of a sexism that deprives him of his feelings, his health, his spontaneity, his affections. This larceny of life begins early. Raised and cared for by his mother, a boy is naturally attached to her for his physical and emotional sustenance. But as he grows, he is pressured to become independent and self-sufficient. A boy must withdraw from his mother and rebel against her feminine infusions of dependency and effusiveness. He must shut himself off from the seminal source of life and love to spend the rest of his days battling and concealing his efnotions. To do elsewise is to be labeled a “sissy” and eventually a “faggot.” *\J0 ’ \v\i V 3©' c«ee' V*®*' 6& H- A1 on , Fri. p„ t „t s.th Bond I, int 10.00 5.00 To achieve full manhood, a male cannot show fear, admit vulnerability, or display, dependency. He resists asking for help, preferring to “go it alone.” Often, the pressure to be masculine overrides his natural survival instincts. He would rather isolate himself from assistance or expose himself to undue danger thah to be considered effeminate or a coward. A man is denied the Catharsis of tears and is forced to hoard his grief. As a result, the suicide rate among men is three times that of women. Men are even refused their anger. Although violence and belligerence are normally considered male domains, his resentment is restricted to chivalric modes —the concept of fighting for honor, for example. Otherwise, he must contain his anger and maintain a stance of control and cool rationality. Stoic, persuing an icon of self-sufficiency, men tend to ignore their emotional life often leading to a dry and mechanistic existence. His inability to flush out his feelings into the open, where they can be dealt with, is blamed for the much higher incidents of suicide, psychosis, and crime among men. No easy targets The pressures to conceal weakness and debility cause men to ignore their health. A man has to be tough, oblivious to pain, always arising above sickness. Doctors have failed to find any physiological reason why male life expectancy is lower than that of women. Many experts have concluded that it is the masculine role that robs men of life, subjecting him to higher rates of heart disease, emphysema and arteriosclerosis. The male sex life, as well as his emotional and physical lives, is sabotoged by the cruel levies of Rooties Pump Room masculinity. Traditionally, women are denied their sexuality by prescribed passivity and submissiveness. Though men are allowed to freely indulge whether they want to or not and to indulge aggressively and exploitatively, a man must not show weakness, hesitancy or fear all the things that make sex tender and touching. Cut off from these human frailties, he tries to become something of a sex machine using women as emblems of his prowess. By resisting open affection, both man and women are — reduced to objects. Clearly, men need to be freed from this suffocation. But it will not be easy. It will, in fact, be more difficult than women’s liberation has been. Women had the clearly defined oppression of discriminatory laws. Men, on the other hand, have no such easy targets. More importantly, masculinity inhibits the very reflection and outrage that has done so much to free women. Men do not have the woman’s access to feelings. Both women and men but often men are are oppressed by archaic not even aware that they are oppressed, much less why. Role tethers But as difficult as it might be, male liberation must be achieved, not only for the sake of men, but too. It. is no exaggeration to say that women will not be free until men are. Historically, the female role evolved to complement masculinity; for women women were weak and servile so men could be Mechanistic life N \\ k>\ ROOTIES'S MM NWHT ’ 7R .* __ x Beerr Pitchers of R D . strong and dominant. This is important to realize, a predominantly heterosexual society how is any woman going to be truly liberated if men still feel the compulsion to dominate her? She will be forever weighing her freedom against the edge of her partner. In short, any unilateral liberation won fpr women will be an empty freedom unless it includes men freed from the oppression! of power and for in privilege. What this suggests is that feminism alone will free men or women from the tethers of compulsory sex roles. Male oppression is peculiarly male and requires its own liberation. But more importantly, the inflammatory rhetoric of feminism etherizes a true understanding of sexism. It is not a matter of men oppressing women; sexism is both men and women oppressed by being forced into the arbitrary roles of oppressor and oppressed. Women viewing men as enemies, and self-hate on the part of men will accomplish nothing. Hate and guilt are never constructive mqtivations. Men should not chastise themselves in response to feminist accusations. They must reflect on themselves, recognize their compulsions, and use some of that legendary male strength to overcome them. Women should not roll in the muck of resentment and bitterness They must recognize and sympathize with their fellow prisoners and organize against the common foe. Feminists must abandon their simplistic notion of oppressor and oppressed and realize that “oppressors” are merely individuals locked into roles they didn’t opt for and thus are themselves oppressed. In short, feminism must give way to humanism for only in understanding, honesty and compassion will men and women find freedom. not Saturday, March 24 75c Mixed Drinks Stahl Road (Bar Brands) AT POOR *1.00 donation to MPA, includes chances for door prizes - - WING DING COUPONS ACCEPTED 315 - at Miortpart Hwy. 688-0100 �SA President calls on Legislature i to restore $9.1 million to SUNY K> by Daniel S. Parker News Editor the eve of Wednesday’s massive student Albany, four student leaders gathered in UB’s Squire Hall to gain the attention of State legislators and build up enthusiasm to fight the proposed $150 tuition hike. The four leaders, gathered by UB Student Association (SA) President Karl Schwartz, blasted the SUNY Board of Trustees plan to boost tuition $150 for lower division students and called for the State Legislature to restore $9.1 million to the SUNY budget the amount needed to offset any increase in tuition. Schwartz noted, “It is easy to see how both the Trustees and the Chancellor were intimidated by the Governor’s budget arm, the Division of the Budget (DOB) into recommending the tuition increase.” SUNY students, who have been conducting massive letter-writing campaigns, lobbying efforts and negotiations with key legislators, maintain that Governor Hugh L. Carey’s “skimpy” budget proposal forced the Trustees into raising tuition. The Trustees, they contend, had the choice between cutting programs or raising tuition. On demonstration in - Unique position Buffalo State College student government President Dan McCormick emphasized that Erie Smith CONGRATULATIONS: UB student Bernice Kuco from Niagara Falls will be spending 22 days in Europe. Kuca and Ira Fox, who won a seven day trip to the Bahamas, were the winners of the two vacations given away during the Student Association of the State University (SASUI and Travel Intercollegiate Holiday's Travel Fever display. Over 800 students entered the raffle and participated in the day's events which featured individual booths outlining different student travel plans. The winners were announced in a packed Fillmore Room in Squire Hall Wednesday afternoon. County is in a “unique position,” because it houses both the largest SUNY college and university. McCormick told the small gathering of student leaders and reporters that middle income and part-time students will be hurt the most by a tuition boost. He noted that over 2000 part-time students attend Buffalo State. These students, he said, receive no tuition assistance from the State. He said, “People who need it (State aid) the most, will be hit th\ hardest.” SUNY investments Apartheid study group protests UB monetary aid to South Africa by Mitch Stenger Spectrum by severe Staff Writer Petitions circulated on campus the recently formed UB Apartheid Study Group have garnered “significant support” in the group’s battle against the racial segregation practiced in South Africa, according to group President Elizabeth Boronow. The petitions oppose the existence of the apartheid system and the indirect monetary support given to South Africa by the State University of New York (SUNY). The Study Group claims that UB plays an indirect, but significant role in the apartheid system. All SUNY schools including UB contribute to the Pool Endowment Fund. SUNY invests $7 million of this fund in corporations that do business with South Africa. The UB Apartheid Study Group believes that the SUNY Board of Trustees should divest the money from corporations involved in South Africa and reinvest it elsewhere. It hopes to pressure the Trustees through petition. The Group plans to send petitions to the UB College Council and the Faculty Senate. The Study Group maintains that apartheid is a form ,6f economic, social and political oppression by which the white minority in South Africa denies civil rights to the black majority. The minority race enjoys "the highest standard of living in the world. Under the “formal parlimentary system” whites have the right to vote, own property and live anywhere they wish. The cities, where the cleanest and safest jobs are situated, are reserved and restricted for whites. — — Profit motive Under the apartheid system, Group members contend, blacks face political disenfranchisement, limitations on freedom of movement and the denial of the right to form labor unions. The black population in Africa, according to Apartheid brochures, is plagued by rampant unemployment. The average family income is $84 a month, while the offical South African government poverty datum line” estimates $148 per month as necessary for bare essentials., Behind the apartheid system lies the profit motive. Foreign corporations many from the US exploit the raw materials and “ — — cheap labor that are readily available Africa. in South Corporations such as Mobil Oil, Union Carbide, Caltrex, IBM and Ford have substantial investments in South Africa. Banks such as Chase Manhattan (which owns Marine Midland), Citibank, The Bank America of and Manufacturers Hanover are active in providing large loans to the South African regime. The petitions circulated by the Apartheid Study Group admonish the current apartheid state. Boronow termed the response here to the petitions as “very gqpd.” She said that “about 80 percent of the people we approach have signed.” Boronow 1000 estimated that “over signatures*’ have been collected in two weeks. Movements toward divestiture have met with success at other universities across the nation. Already, students at Michigan State, University pf University Massachusetts, of Wisconsin, Yale and Columbia have succeeded in pressuring their Boards of Trustees into action. Are students heard? Fndorsing his student comrades, former Oneonta student President Jim Bob Volt/ promised that the voters in his family will be “watching their legislators closely” when it comes down to the tuition issue. Voltz, who noted that he was addressing his remarks to State Legislators, said that Oneonta’s President Clifford Craven has strongly opposed increasing tuition and students from his school have written over 700 letters in addition to visiting representatives in Albapy three times. Fredonia’s McCoy echoed the questions of the other student leaders when he asked: “Have we been heard? The press conference, which almost appeared to be a pep rally for Wednesday’s student gathering in Albany, also tossed about oft-repeated arguments against raising ranging tuition from a corresponding decline in enrollment to the discrepancy in funding for private and public education in New York State. Schwartz revealed that seven groups have supported the students’ fight “against this ill-conceived tuition increase.” The following groups are backing students in their effort to prevent a tuition hike; United University Professions, New York Public Interest Research Group, the SA Student Senate, Parent Teachers Association, Executive Director of COPE, AFL-CIO, New York State United Teachers Union, and Committee for Public Higher Education.

NEW YORK ICC No. M C 2934 �a Freshmen get the shaft t Pritchard residence space hurting for basic facilities by Mask Meltzer Campus Editor A quick look at the four small buildings dotting the land around Main Street’s Stockton-Kimball Tower conveys a misleading similarity. The buildings Schoellkofp, MacDonald, Michael and Pritchard Halls bom into campus life 27 years ago, are nearly identical, but a late afternoon shadow points a dark finger at the oft-neglected little brother. Pritchard Hall houses 68 students. It was drafted into emergency service as a dormitory last August after several years of an administrative being stronghold, saving dozens of inexperienced freshmen from the desperation of off-campus house hunting. - - - - Midnight raids But those 68 students might not have sighed as happily as they did had they known what kind of living conditions awaited them. There are still no working laundry facilities and no suitable cooking areas. A long awaited basement lounge is just now beginning to take shape less than two — ■ 1 Need a ride?

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

The lounge furniture, soiled and Worn, is mostly obtained through midnight raids on neighboring Goodyear and Gement Halls. But Pritchard residents are less bitter now. After months of haggling with University Housing and Custodial officials, their efforts have begun to bear fruit. A month after they dispatched a 16 page petition to Housing Director Madison Boyce, the unused basement in the building’s east wing was cleared of debris, and a month later they received a color television set.

This story details legislation recently Syracuse to deal enacted in with the problem. by John Glionna Ass’t. Feature Editor And yet, law enforcement and fire officials in the Syracuse area have also gone on record as saying that the unpopular law’s enforcement could pose a further threat to the safety of patrons and security personnel. Several Syracuse police officers expressed apprehension at the prospect of hauling a youth into custody in front of several hundred of his peers. Rock concerts just aren’t going to be the same at least not in Syracuse. Earlier this month, Onondaga County Executive John Mulroy signed a law which makes — smoking, drinking and possession of “beverage containers” in the a War Memorial Syracuse punishable offense. That means that anyone caught drinking alcohol or smoking pot during a concert is subject to a fine of up to $100, a jail term of to 15 days, or both. up Theoretically, a person could also receive the maximum sentence for smoking cigarettes or drinking although it is Coca Cola believed the law was designed to control marijuana and alcohol — consumption. “We intend to use several new measures to aid us in enforcing the law,” said County Legislative Minority Leader Nick Pino. “Included are an intense searching and frisking of patrons at the gates, a totally reserved anangement, a special 40-member, t-shirt security force and minimal lighting instead of total darkness in the Auditorium during the concert.” front seating The momentum behind the new legislation began over a year the Syracuse based ago by Drug Abuse City-County Commission which aimed to stop the heavy consumption of marijuana and alcohol at concerts in the County Auditorium. Drug “Chairman of the Ronald Commission, Father Buckle, attended several concerts and assessed the situation as ‘extremely dangerous.’ Syracuse media inevitably persuaded area legislators to get involved,” said Syracuse Herald Journal reporter Dan Padouano. “In introducing the bill, the legislators claimed that all the things that supposedly couldn’t be done in the War Memorial because they were illegal really were legal until now. They wanted to strengthen the restrictions by putting a punch behind the law. Thus, they introduced the stiff penalties.” Flammable people According to its sponsors, Democratic County Legislators Justin Zimmack, Max Allway and Timothy Gorman, the new law is War safeguard intended to Memorial spectators. “The issue is not one of morality whether or not we condone pot smoking but one of safety. If the Auditorium ever caught on fire, fire marshalls have expressed doubt whether it would be possible to get those eight or nine thousand people attending the concert out said safely,” — — Zimmack. “We’ve been extremely lucky to date that we’ve never had an outbreak of fire in that place. Even though the fire chief has declared the building itself not flammable, 1 say that people are,” said Max Allway. No nidi for Rush Due to the new restrictions, at least one concert promoter, Cedric Kushner of New York City, who promoted a recent Styx concert in the auditorium, expressed a reluctance to sponsor any further acts in Syracuse. “Other promoters are cautiously waiting to see what will happen,” said War Memorial Director, Pete Napier. Napier believes that the biggest danger is that the new law will ultimately result in fewer rock concerts in Syracuse. At present, a rescheduled Rush show on April 2 is the only firmly booked event at the War Memorial. Napier, who has recently been on the “hot seat” with local legislators for having failed to control the smoking situation several years ago, maintains that while legislators like to disclaim the War Memorial’s problem with drugs and alcohol at concerts as a political issue, that’s exactly what it has become. “The whole issue reeks of politics,” he said. “The three first term Democratic legislators, who spon sored the new law, are making their first play for the public spotlight and hungry are extremely notoriety and press coverage.” ircb for Bli Manager Two (2) Asst.

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

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

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

Baker’s amendment stated that the Gen Ed Committee does not intend to jeopardize accreditation like Cornell which he said have exempted Engineering students from Gen Ed requirements. Reismann then issued a thinly-veiled threat that Engineering may be forced to take drastic action, saying: “To impose this requirement on us may make it necessary to take other steps, the total degree of programs like more'- they possibly purely a professional school, which we would not-like to do.” Baker said this: “We are not talking about life and death.

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

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

A few later, she followed Baker’s suggestion and proposed to add a two-course thematic requirement under Section B-2.

Political Science Professor Clark Murdoch then proposed an amendment to eliminate the minutes enrich one’s ssnse of cultural awareness.” Baker, noting that he is in the of the Gen minority Ed Committee (which 'voted 9-8 to include the language requirement) said that he would put a topic like “foreign cultures” under Section B-2 language foreign two-course requirement entirely, i.e. remove it as the sixth knowledge area. again, since it “cuts across disciplines.” Metzger’s amendment failed by a teasingly narrow margin, 24-22.

BEOG, a federal grant awarded on the basis of financial need, may be used to offset any aspect of education including tuition, board, and books.

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

He claimed he didn’t expect any disgruntled Senators or vocal proxies to continue to challenge the legitimacy of the referendum. Schwartz wasn’t as certain. He said he “wouldn’t doubt it” if someone took efforts aimed at the invalidation of the controversial amendment, but held that there was “no way that anyone will thwart the will of the student , clubs Special to The Spectrum to them Exactly what would happen was unsure; but SA officials were clearly expecting a reasonably smooth transition of power from the truculant Outgoing Senate, to formation, will hold its first meeting Monday, at which time Senators will be briefed by the SA Executive Committee on issues such as General Education and the tuition hike crucial topics which the previous Senate is felt to have — ignored. new group which Executive Committee members hoped would become more involved with crucial academic issues and less a interested in waging political battles with student organizations.

"If elected" proposals ranged from dormitory Olympics to vending machine adjustments. IRC members should vote today or tomorrow at various dorm locations. ‘ Election bells are polling again. The Inter-Residence Council (IRC) elections are being held today and tomorrow and the three competing parties agree on two main points: events must be scheduled and publicized well in advance, ahd the “lines of communication” between stdents must be opened. Paul Cumming, candidate for President from the Organized Crime Party, said his party is extremely critical of the currentl IRC administration. In addition to using the party name to attract attention, he said, it was chosen because “whit IRC has done with the feepayers’ money has been a crime,”. Cummings said his party plans to send out monthly newsletters and financial statements, revise the budget so that it is based more on need, hold dorm Olympics and require officials to hold office hours at all dorms (rather thaq jusrat Governor’s) once a week. Don Shore, candidate for President from the Deliverance party, also said his party wants to make IRC more accountable to fee payers by publicizing events and ‘‘revitalizing” the Area Councils. — —continued on page 14— The best Itinerary SUNDAY GET-ACQUAINTED PARTY featuring a live band It will be an another and get acquainted with theisland opportunity to meet one **OHOAV Candidates hope to make ac ’ IRC more good restaurants. accommodations for the money These people are wonderful f hosts tour hotel will have considerable charm and comfort And the best people Bahamians depend on visitors for their livelihood So, even though they're friendly to begin with, they'll make an extra effort to shake the hand that feeds them All things considered, there's one way you're not going to have a really good time Stay home COLLEGE DAY AT THE BEACH A full day of activities on the beach mclutfng 'the first beer on,the house." music and dancing on the beach The special event will be a Fashion Show of the latest Bahamian styles This will provide an opportunity for Island designers to display their talents to an importanhsegment of the consumer population. ™«ao«r A LIMBO PARTY at the College Week Official hotel.

NFTA stepped into the ring when it threw out a low $11.5 million bid from Walter L. Jones, owner of -his namesake development corporation. NFTA’s actions were prompted by Jone’s failure to produce the required bonding to guarantee that the work would be done. Jone’s financial statements show that his company has less than $600 in available cash with his only project construction known having been the renovation of his own Ferry Avenue offices. The examination team, headed by UMTA’s Director of Civil Rights Harold Williams, will seek to ensure that the NFTA award the rapid transit contracts in Federal with compliance regulations which require that at leasts. 10 percent of all construction Federally-funded contracts be let to bona fide minority contractors. The UMTA is funding 80 percent of the LRRT project while the remaining 20 percent is being paid for by the State. The team has interviewed Assemblyman Arthur Eve (D., Masten Buffalo), District Councilman James Pitts and District Ellicott Councilman David Collins along with three black legislators who have voiced complaints over NFTA’s handling of the Onyx and the Jones case. Also queried were representatives of BUILD Inc., the Independent Minority Contractors Association and the Minority Coalition Inc.

During the last decade we have witnessed a rather remarkable national commitment to solving our wracking environmental problems. And although we still have a long way to go, the strides taken towards cleaning up the nation's air and water in the late 60 s and through the "7O's are both significant and irreversible. To wit, we can now wade in the waters of Lake Erie without having our skin eaten away by powerful acids and our hair coated with miasmic slime. Ten years ago a dip in that industrial sewer would have been unthinkable. Yet none of this progress would have been possible without the mass opprobium of public opinion and the unyielding efforts of government environmental agencies like the Environmental Protection Agency. Corporations have had to be pulled by the ears in order to bring them Corporate giants pervade public with ‘good guy’ propaganda Ads depict thriving wildlife next to smoke-belching oil refineries into compliance with environmental standards; they're still heeing and hawing about how EPA regulations are technologically unattainable. With all the corporate whining it really didn ‘t lake long for Detroit to develop the catalytic converter, an exhaust device which dramatically cuts down on noxious auto emissions like hydrocarbons and nitrous oxides. So the next time you see one of those slick corporate PR commercials telling you how much Shell or Exxon or Union Carbide is doing to clean up the environment it might be a good idea to keep in mind how much public and governmental pressure it has taken and is still taking to bring industry around to this direction, despite the billions of dollars and enormous pool of technical resources they possess. In this vein is the article below. by Robbie Cohen f a weekly supplement Continuing our spotlight on urban problems. Fascination features an intriguing Pacific News Service story by T.D. Allman on the revitalization of Newark, New Jersey, a city that only 10 years ago was declared dead in the wake of tumultuous race riots and urban flight. Reporter Allman shows us how Newark, under the guiding leadership of Mayor Kenneth Gibson, has made a remarkable comeback, feeding op resources that it has possessed all along, even during the dark years of the late 6 O’s. And finally we have a favorable commentary on Jimmy Carter's handling of foreign affairs, by Tom Batt. Tom asserts that Carter's Mid-East coup reflects favorably not only on his competence as a peace negotiator, but also on his forbearance and integrity as a man. a lot on television and in newspapers and magazines on how industry is cleaning up the air and water that they have poisoned, dirtied and otherwise toxified. It may appear to the casual observer that corporations have been making these efforts on their own initiative. Yet the truth is only since the passage of the of corporations? We hear . . And yes, we're even taking steps towards cleaning up the environment. Our research division is developing a new product the Shell Oil Herder, that someday might be used to clean up the numberless seashores blighted by those massive oil spills from our ruptured supertankers. Go ahead and ask any oil covered bird or fish that has survived these environemntal disasters: they'll tell you, we care. As you can see in the following simulation, our research at this stage has not progressed beyond our being able to deal with bathtub or toilet bowl sized spills, but no one can say that we're not trying. And you thought Shell Oil was involved with just oil drilling, excessive profits ar.d ecological disasters. Hah! And we’re not stopping at that. One of our subsidiaries is putting out a new line of super grip deck shoes, that will dramatically reduce the chance of you or a beloved member of your family falling into one of our slimy messes during a leisurely Sunday outing on the family yacht. That's right. Shell has the . - federal Clean Air Act in 1970 has industry been doing anything in this direction. And even with the weight of federal and state regulatory agencies bearing down on them, there has been an enormous amount of footdragging. Buckling under this pressure, industry has been forced to spend billions on pollution abatement devices, yet the record shows that when it comes to the crunch, they will do any thing they can to avoid compliance with the environmental and health standards. Hundreds of contest cases are pending in our nation’s courts, where companies have appealed EPA and state environmental agencies compliance orders. Apocryphal version To be sure this is a somewhat apocryphal version of a Shell public relations commercial that you may remember from a few years back. It is, however, a typical example of the kind of deceptive PR campaign that large corporations, especially oil companies, have been waging recently in the print and electronic media. Exxon, in a similar piece of corporate propaganda, shows us how wildlife is thriving in the vicinity of one of their smoke belching refineries. How idyllic, nature and industry existing side by side in perfect symbiotic harmony. There is no doubt that industry has been spending many millions on environment-related projects, yet a good deal of these millions have been spent on ad space and air time. The commercial fare that companies like Exxon and Shell Oil have very well done and been ordering up is consummate Madison Avenue consequently, scary. Putting aside this slick PR campaign, is there a sincere corporate commitment to making our air and water clean and 1 safe? One look at the enormous gross revenues and profits that giants like GM and Exxon have been reaping over the past few decades (with Exxon, for one, maintaining that its multi-billion dollar profits cannot cover the high riskes and costs implicit in oil exploration) will bring the unmistakable conclusion that this supposed committment is not impressive in the least. — Gas guzzling boats Without outside pressure from Washington and the considerable weight of public opinion, large auto makers like GM, Ford and Chrysler in all likelihood would have done nothing about controlling exhaust emissions and reducing fuel consumption. If left to their own devices, they would continue to produce the gas guzzling, air polluting boats the mid and that were so popular during Detroit’s “golden years” late 60’s before the looming specter of the oil crisis began to cast its long shadow and before public opinion was mobilized against the — hazards of air pollution. And most pathetic of all, the automakers are being dragged kicking and screaming into meeting the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) standards for gas consumption and emissions. GM whines that the federal standards are too tough and are not technologically feasible. So the EPA grants' the car companies reprieve after reprieve on the compliance deadlines. The current target date is. now 1981. A good cup of coffee? Considering that companies like GM and Ford have within their domain a deep pool of scientific and engineering talent, complaints about EPA standards quickly lose credibility. As the contemporary cliche goes, “We can send a man to the moon, why can’t I get a good cup of coffee.” On the less inane side, we can send unmanned spacecraft across millions of miles of space to Jupiter and Saturn, why can’t we achieve less complex goals, like making our primary mode of transportation cleaner and more energy efficient. The answer? Industrial giants refuse to spend the billions of dollars that the development of totally new and innovative engines for autos would entail. Sure, Detroit has trimmed hundreds of pounds of superfluous steel bulk off their mobile living rooms, but this is mostly in response to federal pressure and competition from foreign manufacturers with their lines of small, gas efficient can. Meanwhile, in advertisements and television commercials, Detroit touts the high technology that goes into manufacturing their new gadget crammed, more reasonable sized vehicles. We wonder why GM, which produces highly advanced weapons systems, can’t tap this technology for more pressing civilian uses. How about concern for air quality and worker health on the part • Bethlehem Steel is one case in point. As the second largest steel manufacturer in the nation, with plants in several states, including one in Lackawanna, Bethlehem has shown a consistent record of resisting EPA imposed standards, taking the agency to court over regulations on many occasions. Bethlehem has done precious little to safeguard their coke oven workers from toxic cancer causing emissions, despite the fact that they’ve known about these health hazards for many yean now. Recently, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA, a division of the U. S. Department of Labor) slapped Bethlehem with $22,000 in penalties for flagrant violations of coke oven emissions standards. If it weren’t for OSHA, Bethlehem more than likely wouldn’t do anything to correct these hazards. Anti-nuke movement Simply, without government regulation* we’d still be driving gas guzzling dinosuars through filthy air that would only become cleaner when our dwindling fossil fuel resources were finally exhausted. True, the EPA and other regulatory agencies, bureaucracies that they are, haven’t been the mavericks they might be, but they have made great strides in cleaning up the environment. J ' �candidates for Newark’s Italian community was caught in a vortex city’s of shame, fear and hate. The Hugh mayor, last Italian Addonizio, had been convicted of corruption. Newark’s “Mr. Law and Order,” Councilman Anthony of ;wo (O i Italian mayor, E 2 i despite dire prophesies of doom T D. Allman, a contributing editor of Harper's magazine, is East Coast editor of Pacific News Service Former NEWARK, N.J. Newark city council member Anthony Imperiale, who has lost four elections in a row here, proclaims that the city is not in trouble, but is “dead and buried.” Two hundred angry police officers, facing layoffs because of federal spending cuts, vow that Newark will become “Fear City” if they lose their jobs. - The rhetoric fits Newark’s popular image as a crisis-ridden, most heavily trafficked highway, doomed dity. But behind the headlines and rail and air routes converge with the busiest harbor and biggest market in America,” points out Newark’s Mayor Kenneth A. Gibson. “Cities with those kind of the gutted buildings along Springfield Avenue that stand as reminders of the ghetto rebellion of 1967 is a far different reality. This city is in the midst of an impressive social, economic and cultural revival that is confounding the prophets of urban decay. Some 80 corporations have made investments here in recent years. New skyscrapers are now going up in Newark’s downtown. Middle-class families are buying and renovating houses in its Ironbound and North Ward neighborhoods. Over the last decade, Newark also has become one of America’s fastest educational growing centers, with four major campuses at the-crest of a $300 million Expansion that has seen the city’s student population triple to 25,000 students in less than ten years. Meanwhile Newark’s crime rate, once the highest in the country, is now much lower than the crime rate in cities like San Francisco, Atlanta and Honolulu. Newark no catastrophe After years of talk about the urban disease, this city is literally healthier than ever as well. Since the riots in Newark eleven years ago, infant mortality and tuberculosis have beep cut in half, and the incidence of syphilis has declined to only a tenth of what it once was. In Newark today, a - the in changes American economy. a ethnic reaction and race prejudice Panicky whites-were of whole blocks abandoning houses as they fled to the suburbs founded his Adubato when a white center, which he calls white ■ person is a third less likely to get cancer, two-thirds less likely to have a child with a congenital disease, and three-quarters less likely to die from pneumonia than in 1970. Why, and how has Newark who once confounded, those predicted it might become the first American city literally to die, in the face of the suburban migrations and Sunbelt shift? As revealed by the failure of the urban catastrophe scenario to come true, even the most troubled cities continue to American possess economic, important geographic and human resources. “Newark is where the country’s become nationwide symbol of guntoting I Newark experiences rebirth by T.D. Allman had Imperiale, ' 1960 and 1975, Between Newark lost 45 percent of its even manufacturing jobs. But during the city’s most severe periods of political, economic and social crises, its service sector continued to grow. Thus while many factories in Newark closed down, the city’s old pre-eminence as the transport, finance and service capital of the most densely populated state in the nation was NAACP.” Blacks ranging from Imamu Baraka to Carl Rowan told Adubato Newark would be better off if he got out of town. White contemptuous of his liberals, Imperial's second defeat in the election for mayor. Today in Newark, blacks tell you that Baraka is a figure of the past; and whites tell you the same thing about Imperiale. Meanwhile the North Ward Educational and Cultural Center has matured into the thriving focal point of a community that refused to die Its programs of child care, care for the elderly and its vocational training programs are being copied all over America, “We don’t go in for store front liberalism here,” Adubato says. “Black people and white people- in this city communicate with each other.” in restaurants, Waitresses sidewalk merchants on Mulberry never fundamentally challenged. Alfred Faiella, L. Says executive director of the Newark Economic Development Corporation, “Companies don’t invest here for moral and aesthetic reasons. When they look at the bottom line, they know this city is ideally placed to cash in on the future.” “For all the talk about ghetto despir,” points out Milton Buck, the city administrator, “this is a place where black people can get don’t die.” while Newark retained the natural advantages that led the Puritans to establish a colony ahead.” there as early as “Why do a hundred thousand 1666 and white people choose to live in eventually transformed it into America’s tenth greatest industrial Newark, too?” asks Manuel Rosa, center by the end of the a young real estate developer.

Meanwhile, private enterprise not only recognized that it had an investment in Newark it could not let die, but also discovered new opportunities here unavailable in the suburbs and Sunbelt. Far from being left behind by events, Newark' has led the way into the post-industrial era. It has been one of the first cities botH to suffer the trauma and enjoy some of the benefits of major structural to get ahead. Vortex of shame Today Rosa and his brothers of scores redeveloping abandoned houses in Newark, and expanding out of their home the Ironbound neighborhood are - district into other parts of the city. Rosa’s latest project is a $2 million effort to transform a decaying section of north Newark - into what he calls neighborhood “a happy with a Mediterranean-type ambiance.” For Stephen Adubato, born bred Newark’s in Italian-American North Ward, the question wasn’t “quality of life,” but survival for him, his and neighborhood and the Newark way of life he loved back in 1970, when he founded the North Ward Educational and Cultural Center. Following the riots and the defeat ethnic roots, denounced Adubato as a racist, too. But it was Adubato who, more than anyone else in Newark, helped half white flight, and turn communal hatred into one of most promising experiments genuine in multi-racial cooperation. It was Adubato, too, who in the days of Spiro Agnew and the “silent majority,” delivered the votes that kept Peter Rodino in Congress; America’s Adubato and thousands of his neighbors in the community that once had given George Wallace his biggest majority anywhere on the East Coast who, in 1574, openly campaigned for Kenneth Gibson’s thus ensured reelection, and Street; kids on skate boards in Vailsburg; even the bus driver on all the Springfield Avenue run agree with the “experts” that Newark is a city iiv the midst of an impressive revival. - For Samuel Miller, it was back in 1971, when museum attendance started climbing again, for the first time since the riots four years earlier. For many in the North Ward, it was a cold December night in 1976, when the North Ward Cultural Center caught fire and Italians and blacks, Hispanics and Portuguese, — people from every neighborhood ip the city rallied to help restore it.

If Newark for a decade was the epitome of everything that was wrong with America’s cities, Stella Wright was the epitome of everything that was wrong with Newark. Originally built to house more than 1,100 low income families — back in those days when the most enlightened urbanologist and most avaricious contractor alike agreed the best solution for poverty was to stack the poor, far away from the nice neighborhoods, in impersonal high rises in city centers, Stella Wright over the years degenerated into a breeding ground of crime, disease, riot and arson. What the tenants did not do to each other, inhuman administration did. Maintenance was so bad that many tenants fled; others refused to pay their rent. Its urine-soaked halls were unsafe by day and night. Many believed the only solution for Stella Wright as for Newark itself was to abandon the place, and start over again some place else. But that was before the tenants themselves, with city took cooperation, over management of their own — — buildings and organized to set and maintain standards in their own lives. When they visited Stella Wright this year, the'experts from Regional Plan Associates found not despair, but “new optimism,” “a decline, but not urban metaphor for urban change in New Jersey.” “Stella Wright is full again,” they reported; “some families who could affprd to move out have chosen to stay. The halls and yards are neater; things work. A project that had been called unmanageable is being managed by tenants once thought unable to manage anything. Attendance subsidization Shortly after Kenneth Gibson was elected in 1970, the New Jersey state legislature voted to exempt even police and teachers from the obligation of living in the community they serve.

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

Appearing at The 9 . sB - Available at all Cavage’s 4.«— — • ••••«•' March 22nd -J * �IT dnesdaywednesday editorial Look at IRC f Perspectives on the abortion coverage To the Editor. | Months of exhaustive debate and detailed examination have narrowed the choices for the Sub Board I, Inc. Board of Directors to two: either retain the mandatory abortion coverage in the student •S health insurance plan or create an optional waiver of the coverage for c moral opponents to abortion. 5 From a strictly practical perspective, the opt-out choice is probably a better one: it wholly accomodates the moral objectors and grants abortion coverage to everyone else. This admittedly powerful logic is dimmed by the unlikely but still agonizing possibility that a woman may opt-out of the plan, become pregnant and then wish she had retained the freedom of choice. That dilemma reflects the troubling nature of the abortion issue itself its propensity to change, even within an individual's mind, from a moral choice to a medical need. Placard-waving housewives and fist-raising feminists aside, decision-makers must confront any abortion-related issue from both perspectives at once. So the practical perspective is by no means the only one that must be brought to the debate. On the pages of The Spectrum each week and in the heavy, restless air of Haas Lounge March 8, the $1 abortion coverage in a $73.50 plan became weighted with symbolism, until it now carries a woman's right to control her body across one shoulder and an individual's right to moral peace across the other. The fierceness with which these two rights have been defended has virtually eliminated the challenge of creating the best possible insurance plan for students and replaced it with the more visible pressure to placate the most people, or more accurately anger the • • — — — fewest. Sub Board now stands in the center of the ring like the boxing referee at match's end, ready to raise the hand of either the champ or the challenger, with the bitterly divided crowd sure to hiss and cheer either way. But is there another choice to be made, with the same options, a different scoring system that will pick either mandatory or optional coverage for a different set of reasons and after a different set of deliberations? We believe that there is, and it has to do with the University. In the following couple of days, the residental students of UB will have the dubious “honor” of participating in an IRC election. This is all well and good, however an election concerning IRC naturally should concern the residential students of UB, but does it? The noble formation of political parties in the United States has certainly layed the hollowed groundwork of what we call America. Let us keep in mind however that people tend to identify certain moralities to a particular political party. For example, republicans are considered conservative, conversely democrats are considered liberal. Therefore, these generalizations help the voter to cast his total votes for a single ticket, still leaving him a free conscience knowing that his principles are well represented. Now, look at IRC. The Parties running for office promising to include: 1) the deliverance party “deliver” us from the present IRC 2) the renaissance party bringing the residental student body into a renaissance period of reformation (or promising to “deliver” us from IRC) 3) the organized crime party no explanation needed. These comprise the three parties running for the responsible, executive — — — positions in IRC._ Is IRC so bad that we need a deliverance, or a renaissance, or maybe even our own F B I. to fight organized crime?! I think not. Considering the appropriate tangles of red tape, monetary appropriations, and general bullshit, IRC has done a splendid job in providing the students’ various forms of activities and recreations such as concerts, films, parties, etc.. These political parties, it seems to me, are banded together to perhaps serve a common'interest which might not necessarily be of common interest to the residental student body of UB. It seems that this election has but one independent, who incidently is basing a large portion of his campaign on the fact that he is independent. Stephan Kopp, a junior who resides at Governor’s, says that the independent candidate has but one interest group in mind, the students themselves. He also state? that “no one group will benefit from his election except the largest group and the most important of all. . . the students”. These are of course noble promises if indeed he carries them out and is elected. Of course, he shall have the problems of dealing with the executive members of IRC who are, in fact, still members of a political party. But it’s a start. Come on, you independents, get out and vote Laura Zadarlik Academic freedom To the Editor Student wake up! Our academic freedom is in jeopardy. The Faculty Senate is making decisions about our education without consulting us, the students. I am talking about the General Education Proposal that will add many new requirements for incoming freshmen and seriously restrict our freedom to choose the courses that we are interested in. Since we are the ones paying for our education and the professors are working for us, we should have a say about what we want fm this University. We can’t let other people make decisions for us. Unless we join together and stand up for the right to choose the direction that our own academic lives will take, we will be stepped on. There is a solution join SOAF (Student Organization For Academic Freedom), and we will show the administration that we are angry and not going to be pushed around by being treated as irresponsible children who need to be told which courses to take. There will be a meeting this Friday at Squire Hall at 2;30 p.m. We urge all those people who care about themselves and their freedom to take control of their own lives to be there! Remember something can be done if we are not apathetic. Ina Magrisso Bonnie Lewis At a school like SUNY Buffalo, there is the talent, energy and climate to study and sometimes solve society's problems in whatmight be called a laboratory setting. The peculiar mixture of theory and practice enables a University and particularly its student body to organize and conduct itself free from the political complexities of public policy that often turn a sincere philosophical underpinning to A doctor in the house? - - empty rhetoric; Examples: A student newspaper can afford, ideologically and financially, to reject military advertising (a decision that would not even come up at a metropolitan newspaper); a student government can withdraw its money from racist banks; a student record-retailer can organize itself as a collective; and the taxes students pay (the activity fee) can not only be set by the students (through referendum) but can be distributed with student sentiment as a direct guide. All these characteristics of student governance take advantage of the unique moral tone, intellectual perspective and political demography available at a University. Sub Board, as a student service corporation, has already taken advantage of the University setting by creating the kind of health care package that, while sorely needed in this country, has been beaten back by political pressure. The package includes a wide-range of medical services, including abortion coverage a recognition of the medical need for abortion. Sub Board continued this test of health care policy by holding an open Jorum on the insurance package, bringing the decision-makers face-to-face with the public. To now retreat from what has become an admirable experiment in policy-making would be wrong; in our view, it would ignore the special university setting that the abortion coverage issue has been raised. Here it is important to consider what Sub Board would symbolize in its decision, and what it would like to symbolize. Just as an optional, government-sanctioned insurance plan (like Blue Cross/Blue Shield) was thought to be less acceptable than a mandatory, government-sponsored plan, so should the optional, waive-out policy be put aside in favor of mandatory abortion coverage. And just as the student-wide nature of the insurance coverage symbolizes the belief that health care is a human right, available to all, the mandatory abortion coverage will symbolize the choice to abort a pregnancy is a woihan's right; and that the protection of that choice is a societal responsibility. In the same vein, a decision to adopt an opt-out policy may very well symbolize: the of moral preference into a policy that should primarily address medical needs; the disproportionate impact of a vocal minority; and the bending however slight to the dangerous anti-abortion mentality that threatens a woman's basic right to choose. We urge the Sub Board I, Inc. Board of Directors to consider this different scoring system, to balance the symbolic gains of a mandatory abortion coverage with the symbolic losses of an opt-out plan and leaving aside an understandable temptation to placate the most vocal among us retain the mandatory coverage as a public demonstration of its commitment to rnetjipafly sensible and publicly sensitive health • - — To the Editor: On a number of occasions, we have been ill on weekends and have contacted the University Health Service. There is no doctor on duty on weekends, and the nurses were unable to offer more than moral support. This past weekend, one of us was subjected to rude and patronizing treatment by the nurse on duty, who could not diagnose what was wrong. Though rude treatment is undoubtedly atypical, we believe that a university of this size should have at least one doctor on duty throughout the weekend to deal with major and minor medical complaints. Shelley and Phillip Lerner Cooperate To the Editor: I would like to take this opportunity to thank 1367 people who voted for the Referendum to reform the SA Senate. I hope that with this step, people will start to be more concerned with what happens to their manditory student fee money. This year with 12,000 students registered as undergraduates the SA has the responsibility of dispersing no less than 800,000 dollars. If more people would get involved alot could be done with that money. In going door to door and desk to desk. the gathering signatures I met alot of people who had good ideas for SA projects and I told each of them to go down to the SA office and find out about getting started. That’s still the idea. We need to get people back to work. Within a week the new senate will be selected and I hope that things can start moving in a more positive direction, but it won’t happen if people don’t start to care. There may be hope. If people will just cooperate. David Hoffman Reversing morality To the Editor: It is often the case that a woman opposed to abortion reverses her opinion when personally faced with an unwanted pregnancy. She concludes that she needs an abortion because she is unable to bear the consequences of not having one. The unfortunate woman is therefore pressed to rationalize thd abortion. The human mind is capable of rationalizing anything it want's to, and certainly anything it beleives it needs to. Before becomming personally involved and therefore being able to view the subject objectively, she may have objected to abortion on the grounds that it is the killing of an innocent child. Now however her need for an abortion necessitates rationalization, and her rationalization necessitates deeming an unborn baby prior to six months of age a lifeless fetus. She may now terminate this fetus by having an abortion and not consider it killing. She has forgotten what she used to believe. Six months three months, who are we to decide w)hen life begins. When we do so we assume the responsibility of bestowing life and death. Only God can create life and only he has the right to take it away. I hope this ficticious woman of this discussion has not forgotten this. I hope she has not forgotten God. Sean Ruppel No choice - - — care. To the Editor: The major issue at last nights’ (3/8) Sub Board hearing was womens’ rights and the mandatory inclusion of abortion coverage in the Student Health Insurance plan. I would like to bring up the question of sincerity. The women of this University have together their rights to protect of reproduetlon.'hfe.'aitd most of all, vchorce.‘ Bui if this* is the case, then whv has so much time, energy, and joined money been put into maintaining abortion coverage when a choice is a decision between two or more options. Obviously, the choice here is between birth and abortion, but what have these women done to develop this choice? If they are sincere, why aren’t they demanding pre-natal coverage and a child care program? Without this coverage there really is no choice. • Name withheld �No-nukes to gather "0 * (O To the Editor: H O’ On Thursday, March 22nd, people advocating a non-nuclear future will be gathering near the UB Nuclear Research and Technology Center. The demonstration is part of our efforts to alert members of the university community to the growing threat of nuclear technology. (We wish to point out, however, that this will not be a demonstration against the research facility, recognizing the medical and research use of radioactive isotopes that are produced there.) The principal function of the gathering is to observe three critical issues. They are: 1) On March 22nd, 1975, two electricians sealing air leaks in a cable-spreading room under the reactor control-room at the Browns Ferry plant in Alabama accidently ignited the foam rubber they they were using a candle to check were inserting — for draughts. The fire that resulted disabled many of the emergency systems including the Emergency Core Cooling System. A makeshift pump had to be used to avoid over-heating and meltdown in the six hour long fire. Had a meltdown occured, tens of thousands of human beings could have been killed, injured, or genetically damaged from the release of even a portion of the trememdous amount of radioactivity Human error can, and will, occur. in a power We are “celebrating” the fourth anniversary of the accident on Thursday. 2) The Department of Energy is seriously considering reopening the West Valley nuclear dump site as an Away From Reactor (AFR) storage site of spent fuel rods. THis is in callous disregard of Western New York opinion judging from the approximately 400 people who attended the Jan. 13 Dept, of Energy hearing to receive local imput on options for future use of West Valley. Approximately 95% of the people who spoke want it cleaned up and closed. It is also crucial to realize that Buffalo will become a major transportation hub as nuclear waste is brought in from all over the world. 3) We also are gathering in support of the approximately 180 Clamshell Alliance members arrested at Seabrook, N.H., in their non-violent opposition to continuing construction. We are appealing to the community for financial, as well as moral support for these people. Though we are not demonstrating against the research reactor here, we do recognize that it is part of a fuel cycle that includes mining, milling, processing, transportation, and hoped for safe disposal. On Navajo land alone, there is 50 percent of reserves. Uranium mining is poisoning these people. Another 30 percent of reserves are in the Black Hills of North Dakota, in land gained from breaking the 1868 Ft. Laramie treaty with the Sioux, Arapahoe, and Cheyenne nations. Uranium mining means the continuing genocide of native people. The campus reactor also produces radioactive known uranium waste. Low-level waste has gone to West Bailey, and new goes to Barnwell, S.C. The highly toxic spent fuel rods removed last year went to Idaho Falls, Idaho. Is there pressure from business interests to reopen West Valley, considering the added expense of shipping to Barnwell? In making a judgement of the campus reactor, has to weigh the controversial benefits of medical and research use with the facts of low-level emissions that regularly_pccur, with no solution as to what to do with incredibly dangerous wastes that remain that way for potentially millions of years. And one has to consider the devastation of mining, tons of mill tailings emitting radon gas, the possibility of the sabotage or theft of materials that could bebe used for weapons. There is no peaceful one split atom! Finally, we are opposed to the training of technicians on this campus who have been, and will be employed in commercial or military reactors., for the UB Anti-Nuclear Coalition Patrick Crouse The Spectrum Vol. 29.

But fljey won’t officially use muddy Peele Field until late April; the Buffalo batsmen will be packing up and heading south for their annual Florida gig during the first week of April. Amidst the warm sunshine and ocean breezes, the highly touted Bulls will get their toughest workout until perhaps the Eastern Athletic College Conference (ECAC) playoffs. Up against the likes of the University of Miami, the Bulls, under coach William Monkarsh, are banking on a staff of at least eight regular mound aces to bolster their attack. Anchored by southpaw Joe Hesketh, \#hom Monkarsh rates as one of the best arms UB has had while he has coached, Buffalo’s pitching has a blend of youth and experience that should carry them through until the end of May. Only a sophomore, Hesketh completed his rookie season with the best earned run average (ERA) of any starter last spring, 2.30. Possessing a rifle arm that earned him almost a strike-out per inning, Hesketh has had occasional bouts of wildness, giving up 34 walks in 42 innings last year. Senior Ed Retzer returns, anzious to repeat his 5-1 1978 campaign. Retzer picked up three of his wins as the most consistent pitcher during last year’s spring fling. Others figuring to see a fair amount of duty are: Greg Fisher, who also fills in as a powerful designated hitter (DH); Phil who finished with Rosenberg 57 innings pitched, tops on the hoping to staff; Ron Nero rebound from a dismal year which an inflated ERA of 10.00; and Mike Betz once the brightest prospect at UB who has since been hampered by a series of fills in better than adequately, but ends up in right field. Freshman Mike Scime and Doug Olsen are newcomers to the Buffalo scene, but should pick up some valuable experience playing behind Ganci and Pederson. The graduation of third base veteran Mike Groh has left a gaping hole in the left side of the infield, but Monkarsh hopes to fill it with Gene Dudek. Dudek faired well at the hot-comer in the Fall with his glove, and his bat began to come around as he settled down in the batters’ box. Joe Marcella, who batted .278 as a sophomore, should retain his hold at short-stop. An adequate gloveman, Marcella has excellent his range, but needs to. number of errors. Offensively he is one of many solid hitters, who once on base like to test the arms of opposing catchers. Dave Rosenhahn, picked by the Pittsburgh Pirates in last Spring’s draft, is capable of subbing at short, but Monkarsh figures he will see plenty of action at first-base and on the mound. throwing generally Brother combo Stealing bases is second baseman Pat Raimondo’s forte. To go along with 19 thefts in 20 attempts, Raimondo smacked a superb .368 last spring, including a team leading six triples. Mike Morlock, shifted from short-stop will see occasional time at the keystone position, but must improve his anemic .175 hitting percentage. First base is up for grabs this spring with the departure of Ed' Durkin. Monkarsh lists John Gallagher Rosenhahn, John Gallager and First base freshman Greg Miller as possible candidates. Gallager, who stars his sure glove, helps run down so during the winter as a member of tricky wind-blown balls the hockey Bulls, swings a common here in Buffalo. Right field honors will go to powerful lefty bat that might give either Pederson or Ron Couche, him ths edge. Loaded. That’s what the both of whom display a world of outfield is. Jim Wojick, quite talent. Couche, built in the mold possibly the best all-around player of a classic power hitter, cracked the Bulls have, holds the left field three homers last spring and slot. Last year Wojick hit .387 added to his totals during the fall. with four homers and 35 runs Not quite as fleet a foot as batted in, to go along with 19 Pederson, he still manages to get stolen bases. A strong arm also to whatever is hit his way with aided him in nabbing four relative ease. Pederson's bat is as dependable as snow in Buffalo as baserunners. Pat Raimondo’s base displayed by his steady career running talents must run in the family, because Buffalo’s center here. Whether he is in the outfield fielder, brother Scott, is just as or infield, he should hit with dangerous. A .252 hitter, Scott consistency and can run as well as 10 bags in 11 tries, anybody. As for the infield, a few swiped more days of sun might dry it out running the family total to 29 out by June. of 3 1. Scott’s speed, coupled with — — — physical ailments.

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

' During this time, several new national gun-control .groups have sprung up, each with impressive leadership and backing. One, Handgun Control Ink, has been launched by a savvy DuPont executive whose son had been a victim of the random shooting by the “Zebra Killers” in California. Pete Shields attributed his son’s death to misuse of handguns and was so enranged by the lack of action taken that he quit his job, moved to Washington and, along with other relatives of handgun handgun control law goes beyond the White House’s loss of courage. They note that neither the Carter Administration nor the professional gun-controllers have been able to mobilize a consistent majority of pro-gun curb citizens into practical political support for legislation. steady 65-7 5 A percent of Americans are behind gun registration; 88 percent favor a waiting period for permit applicants tp allow for a check on criminal records; and 70 percent favor ban on the Saturday Night Special; according to a variety of polls conducted in the past decade.

He also provided some startling statistics: One in every five Americans owns a handgun. A crime involving a gun occurs somewhere in the United States every two minutes, a hundgun death every hour. There are presently 50 million handguns existing in the United States; by the year 2000, that figure will reach 100 million.

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

The carcinogenic emissions also endanger the health of residents in the surrounding community of Lackawanna, as a prodigious amount of the toxic emissions are spewed out into the air, contributing to the abysmally low air quality of the Niagara frontier. the EPA is squabbling over semantics, “while the fact is that Bethlehem has made a real good faith effort at pollution controls, spending millions over the last several years.” Cavik stressed how important Bethlehem is for the economic well-being of Erie County and Western New York in general. “We must strike a balance between ecology and economics,” h& said- Bethlehem employs 8700 workers and is the nation’s fourteenth largest steel mill by output (the third largest by area). Until the plant was hit by depressed econimic conditions and the nationwide steel slump it employed 20,000 workers and was the fourth largest mill in the nation by output. The United Steel Workers (USW) Union has joined the EPA in opposition to the Delayed Compliance order. One former coke oven supervisor testified that for years Bethlehem has ignored the worker safety standards set up by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration which recently slapped the steel company with $22,000 in penalties for a string of health and safety violations. Bethlehem, he charged, “is driven only by the profit motive and has no real concern for the health and livlihood of their workers.” - Need EPA approval 150 needless deaths The Delayed Compliance Order which Bethlehem has signed, must obtain the approval of the EPA before it can be implemented.

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

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

Sooner or later, someone is going to realize that the consumer in certain cases can look up his ailment, match it with the appropriate prescription and hike to the pharmacy with the same information and advice for which a doctor would have charged $25. An even more fundamental change in medicine has already begun. The family doctor, whose task has been to treat clients who have become ill, is slowly being replaced by the group doctor, whose role is to keep people well. Health MaintenanceOrganizations (HMD’s) are springing up in urban - - a staff of doctors in aclinic atmosphere who treat families and individuals that have paid a annual fee to be kept in good health. All routine medical care is free and, since the doctors are organized like a profit-sharing collective, there is an incentive to keep people well and avoid unnecessary surgery (which is probably the biggest scandal in Health Care today.) There are some problems with HMO’s but generally they are cheaper and more responsive that the family doctor, who makes money off the abscence of good health. Dental care, of course, is completely analagous and is a likely target-for HMO’s. Group are to plans jflso beginning revolutionalize the legal profession. Group legal * plans, where members pool their money to make lawyers services available to all, are taking hold, especially among labor unions a united constituency right at hand. The group plans Have found that trained para-legals can dp much of the work high-priced lawyers used to reserve for themselves. And, with lawyers now beginning to advertise services, a free-wheeling competition has brought down prices almost immediately. There are several common themes about these •very sensible changes. All reflect an increasing mistrust of the professional the doctor does not always know best, Americans are finding. This challenges the very foundation of the professional class: self-governance. We have allowed professionals to convince us that only a doctor can and should tell another doctor what to do. There are, very clearly, limits to this logic, although the professionals’ official spokesmen particularly the American Medical Association would like us to believe otherwise. being class, professional The besides self-goverfiing, is a potent force in all “governments, federal, state and local. One does not anger the doctors, lawyers and dentists if one wants to get elected. So, real change as less likely to come from politicians than' from citizens, who must start approaching professional care froyi a consumer’s view and demand that the professionals do the same. The University, meanwhile, steams along as if Marcus Wclby was its vision of the future professional. Hxcept in the taw School, which is one of the more innovative areas of this University, one cannot even maintain the hope that SUNY Buffalo will anticipate these changes and rebuild its approach to professional training. But such myopia merely makes/he professional schools normal for the Institution that a wise man recently called: “the best university the 1‘150’s ever Saw.’’— — — �daymondaymonc feedback Wl cases international 1 should like to respond to the remarks of the Curriculum Committee of the Colleges and of their interim Dean on the issue of distribution credit for courses offered in the Colleges. First, let us be absolutely clear about the context of this discussion. My 2/26 memorandum was an interpretation of a requirement on distribution, designed by the Faculty Senate. As I state in my memorandum, if that interpretation is incorrect, the Senate will say so, and I shall admit without embarrassment to having misread them. If the Colleges consider that my reading does not represent the consensus of the Faculty Senate on the matter, they should be taking their arguments to that body, not to me. If they consider that my reading does represent the consensus of the Senate, then they should be pleading the case for a change in policy. If they are reluctant to do either, there is still a third course: plead the case with appropriate departments for cross-listing. But let them not try to conjure away reality, and to create for the university community the fiction that I am the cause of their complaint. Second, a corollary of the point just made; nowhere in my memorandum of 2/26 is there a statement of agreement (or, for that matter, disagreement) with the distribution policy which I have been required to interpret. Interpretation does not require agreement or disagreement, A minor point, perhaps, but I’m sure some folks will have missed it. Third, nowhere in my memorandum is there an slightly pejorative judgment, inference, or insinuation, explicit or implicit, about the quality of courses offered in the Colleges, or of the, internal procedqres used in evaluating them. The tone of the Colleges’ Curriculum Committee’s letter in The Spectrum and of their interim Dean’s publicized remarks seems to imply that there was. To say, as I speaking not from hearsay, but as a former said working member and chairman of the D.U.E. that that Committee’s Curriculum Committee evaluation of Colleges’ courses is not ter denigrate thera, (1 did not, parenthetically, use the term“rubber stamp” attributed to me by .the Colleges’ Curriculum Committee.) It is rathet io point out -f and this is the heart pf tAe matter tlgat in ths.sase of Colleges courses the D.U.E. Curriculum Committee has no guarantee that, in content, format, and qualifications of instructor, such courses are imbedded in a system of extramural disciplinary controls and accountability which transcends departments and the university, which is national and even international in character, and to which departments must be in some measure attuned. The issue is disciplinary accountability. The Colleges and their interim Dean only becloud the issue by asserting what any fool knows, that departments and disciplines are not identical. Who is claiming that they are? Certainly nothing of the sort is implied in my memorandum, nor does my an interpretation, remember -r depend argument on it. No,-departments are not necessarily identified with disciplines, but departments are the guardians ot disciplines. They, not the Colleges, are charged with responsibility for the integrity of disciplines. They, not the Colleges, certify candidates for degrees in disciplines. Faculty members gain or do not gain tenure, promotion, and other forms of recognition as they are adjudged not by the department itself or by the university (so say nothing of even less permanent and in many organizations), but by a national even — — - guild of professionals (another critical word for our discussion). The discipline is defined and monitored, furthermore, by this society of professionals as a whole, not by any individual within it, whose specialized interest will rarely reflect the multiplicity and range of the body of knowledge he professes. That is why involvement of regular departmental faculty in the Colleges is no guarantee of disciplinary regulation, unless, through cross-listing, the department takes responsibility for the disciplinary legitimacy of the courses taught by that instructor. The Colleges may indeed point out that this professional guild system of norms is an ideal which many departments fall short of in practice; they even charge some departments with “casual curriculum reviews”. That may be. But who judges? And how? The present issue is not one of practice, but of theory and policy. The question is not quid J'acti, but quid ittris. The distribution requirement, in my regular intends to interpretation, exposure disciplines.other than one’s own. The responsibility for regular disciplines is departmental. It is as simple as that. The Colleges' Curriculum Committee’s letter considers it interesting to speculate on my attitude concerning certain programs. Their concern is better expressed in their interim Dean’s own words: “The Schools of Management, Social Work, Architecture and Environmental Design, and Information and Library Studies did not exist as free-standing entities at that time (1969); such course-offering entities as the Council on International Studies, RAR1, the Office of Urban Affairs, Millard Fillmore College were not mentioned, yet many courses in these entities are available for distribution credit.” This is confused, on several counts; the interim Dean knows better but the Curriculum Committee of the Colleges may, not. (1) Information and Library Studies is a graduate not an undergraduate program. (2) CIS, RARI, QUA, and MFC courses are not available for distribution credit unless cross-listed in a department. (3) Management, Social Work (on'ce, but no longer an undergraduate program), and Architecture and Environmental Design submit to the same kind of disciplinary regulation and that other in accountability obtains department Although, as I have said, this is a question*.of general policy governing all Colleges courses, I must say that 1 am troubled by the inconsistent logic of the Colleges in requesting distribution credit for only 26 (1 count 33) of their courses. If what they say about the rigor of internal and I have never curricular scrutiny is true disputed that, then what makes these 26 (33?) Courses so special? The criteria mentioned in the original request were: “the extent to which they deal with innovative subject matter not addressed by other academic units; the evidence of, or potential for, their broad student appeal; and the regularity with which the course is offered, or will be offered.” 1 may be missing something obvious here, but I fail to see what these criteria have to do with justification for distribution credit. The Colleges’ Curriculum Committee claims to “know that Dean Peradotto does not support and is not appropriately enthusiastic about” the Colleges. In closing, let me remind the university community that nothing in my memo of 2/26 or in any of my public statements can, to the fair-minded observer, be construed that way. If there is, let it be cited, chapter and verse. — Jphn J.

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

Sterling March 7, 1979 Gretchen Knapp �feedback } 6o nondaymondaymon w Journalistic responsibility Goldberg responds To the Editor: I would like to take this opportunity to publically apologize to Ronald P. Turk for signing his name to a letter I wrote entitled “Another Health Fee Question”, which appeared in the March 9 issue of this paper. While I was admittedly a ‘Practical Joker’ and in the wrong, this occurance raised the issue of questionable journalistic responsibility on the part of The Spectrum. You guys should verify the identity of the letter writers! David Prager Editor's note: It is probably now safe to say that we've heard everything. So, you believe, after “fooling" us and angering the target of your little sick joke that we should somehow prevent you from launching other escapades like this in the future: in other words, we should protect you from people like yourself. What would you suggest, wise-guy? Perhaps we should keep 25,000 student signatures on hand and check all letters against those. Of course, we all forged notes from our mothers in grade school, so there's no reason to believe you couldn't do the same. Maybe we should telephone the signees of each letter and ask them if they indeed intended to write the letter they allegedly wrote. But no, you might be on the other end posing as someone you're not. Ah, then the solution must be to obtain voice-prints of all students, keep them here in our offices, tape alt calls we make to confirm letters, make prints of the calls and compare the prints to the originals so that you absolutely cannot play another practical joke like this again. But voice prints are not acceptable in court, and if you're bold enough to write a letter like this then who knows what legal horrors you might drag us through. No problem, though, we have the final solution We'll obtain at our expenst the dental records of all students, so that even if we want to print a letter posthumously there's a way to cheek against phonics like you. Or would you dispose of the body to foil us again? The fact is that we cheek all letter writers to see if they are students, faculty or staff Silly of us or as you say journalistically irresponsible to trust the student body enough it sign their true names to letters. As for you. we must say that you have swept these pages to new heights of absurdity. Of course, how do we really know that you are you? You could be someone posing as someone who posed as someone. We’ll never know really. But we do know that you're welcome to write in again. Give it a few weeks, though, April Fool's day is coming. Unless, of course, you steal candy from a seven year-old girl and then blame her for holding the lollipop too loosely. In that case, you would immediately make Police Blotter. Now, who said we can't take a joke? To the Editor. I’m respnding to Claire Nelson’s letter of March it always irks me (also make me feel good) that I’m fallible, but 1 guess I made a semantic mistake in the Peter Tosh caption published on the 2nd. When I said that Jamaica was communistic note the small 1 just meant that it sure seemed that way case “c” from what 1 ve been reading lately. That 1 used a small "c” meant a metaphorip majority which seemed to control the country, you know vocal minorities and such can seem in tile majority. II I had meant the literal majority, 1 would have used an upper case letter. Nevertheless, since it upset you so much, it evidently did not have the broad meaning believed it had. To your statement that Tosh was not physically beaten by government folk in Jamaica, all media I’ve read or heard contradict your words. Prove it to me But the main thing 1 wish to point out is that, if I made a mistake it is my fault and no one else’s. To continually blame The Spectrum in your letter (when you so obviously have feelings about sensationalism that are deep rooted, and stem from years of perception) is unfair. Also, 1 want to correct an editorial mistake in the “Women” section published on the 7th. The last sentence in the fifth paragraph should read “Ronstadt’s promotion of Karla Bonoff is an example.” Ronstadt in no way has had anything to do with promoting Carly Simon as far as I’m concerned. 12 - - I Control the news To the Editor.

It seefris to be your strategy to not let the campus know of this significant opposition, to attempt control of the news here. — Regina Kane Goldberg more feedback on page 13 — Athletic apathy To the Editor. * On February 7, 1979, The Spectrum published my “Guest Opinion” on its editorial page, in which 1 requested that individual students provide reasons for the apathy toward ahtletics at UB, As of March 1, 1979, 1 had received four replies from students, two of Which appeared as letters to The Spectrum two by personal correspondence to me, one unsigned and with such definite racial charges that it does not deserve further mention here. That respons, alone, or Igck thereof, is positive proof that apathy does exist. You didn't even take time to write, “I don’t attend UB athletic events because . . I found interesting a recent letter from H. Stephen Briggs published by The Spectrum in which the writer , stated; “l am totally amazed at the amount of student apathy which is present at (JB. It is inconceivable to me that such a large precentage of the student population does not care about anything but their own personal needs.” Mr. Briggs was concerned about the lack of student interst in the Muscular Dystrophy Dance Marathon, certainly a more worthy project than intercollegiate athletics. But it appears typical of the frustrating experience of promoting any idea at UB. In the case of athletic apathy, I responded to each writer personally, except in the case of the unsigned letter, no great when you consider the small number of entries in the apathy sweepstakes. A comprehensive list of reasons offered follows (with my reply in parathesis): -Not worth my time (obviously, attendance at events involving - your classmates is not high on your list of priorities). walk or jog to the games.

Still, a good reason for students to be interested in the restoration of the ice arena plans to the Amherst Campus construction schedule). -Losing has a big effect on attendance (also true, and UB athletes get discouraged with lack of support. With support will come wins). —Wrestling is not one of the major sporting events in the U.S. (wrong, collegiate wrestling enjoys great fan support in many sections of the country, and is one of the fastest growing sports). -Too many major league pro attractions in Buffalo (two, to be exact, until pro baseball returns this summer when UB has no sports events and other major cities Pittsburgh and LA for example support both pro and collegiate teams). (A note of explanation here; I know Buffalo’s football Bulls are not the Pitt Panthers or UCLA Bruins but there are only two reasons why, lack of gate support and money With the first comes the second.) There is a general lack of concern for the individual athletes (an entirely false charge. Ask the athletes now competing about their coaches, and the administrative staff at Clark Hall). -We are no longer viewed as student first, athlete second (again false, coaches must he concerned that athletes do well academically, or they will not be eligible to compete. And as'friends as well as coaches they arcresponsive to the well-being of their charges). -There are more cases of ineligibility now than in past years (true only in women’s athletics, where until recently there were np academic requirements for participation Now all athletes must meet minimum academic requirements set by the University, and national administrative organizations such as the NCAA. The - No satisfaction in UB victory, defeat or draw (Are you pleased when UB earns positive attention in any area not related to your mqjor?) -Does not do-Jhe University good or ill either way (UB does benefit through publicity in the media since it attracts quality student-athletes to the University, alumni stay interested in their alma-mater and contribute funds, and many persons with no UB ties are interested in UB athletics). My education doe s not benefit (except that education is the accumulation of a wide variety of knowledge and experiences, not only preparatory work in your future profession). My social life doesn’t benefit, it saps my free time (your social life could improve by meeting a cross-section of students, alumni and friends of the University who do attend). -Saps funds (obviously not a theory subscribed to by a majority of students who voted the return of football, and taxpayers who support athletics at all levels), -Doesn’t benefit my health or fitness (it would if you . - - - Athletic Dept, doe s not set the standards, it complies, and it was pointed out recently that application to only athletics, and not other extra-curricular activities at UB is discriminatory). Title IX has caused the recruitment of athlete-students (I’m amazed this charge came from a woman athlete. Title IX has benefited women’s athletics at — UB. And athletes requirements). must still meet academic entrance -Athletes are just numbers to the administration, which doesn’t care if they survive at UB (wholly false, without athletes coahces cannot coach, and they cannot coach unhappy athletes succesfully, which is what it’s all about). � � � The last several charges were made by a student-athlete who had an unpleasant personal experience with one coach, centered on the reasons for competition and the need to comply with team regulations, however disagreeable personally. Kither you compete on the same terms, or you don't compete. It’s the athlete’s choice, just- as you’re not required to attend athletic events. AncUt’s the athlete s choice whether or not he or she meets the academic requirements necessary for competition. You were not forced to attend UB, you did the required scholastic preparation' and met entrance requirements. We assume you chose us as much as we chose you, and that you are capable of continuing to meet academic requirements. We give you the opportunity to also continue to participate in athletics, and to attend athletic events as spectators, but only if you choose to do so. Personally, I am not discouraged by the lack of response to my request or by the reasons cited above. The best reason offered, and I include it here, has been that the student is involved in a commercial avocation that requires time and effort.. Yet, that student has since attended a hockey game, and has answered my reply to his original letter, conceding some points, offering other reasons. Hope springs eternal! We fmyself and members of the Dept, of RARH will continue to interest an ever-increasing number of students in UB s athletic program. Several projects are already underway, you will read about them in The Spectrum over the next several weeks and in early l r all. As i explained to one student w?iter, my position is as long as I do the job, regardless of if 100 or 10,000 students show up for athletic events. But, I am interested in the total success of the UB athletic program. f an you, currently as students and eventually as graduates, be any less interested in the reputation of your alma mater? secure I.arrv (i. Steele ��o j L * 3 <X* yu* PS :: «- * tf m ‘ V av.v ‘Keep Oaf’ Editor’s note: Last summer, then The Spectrum Feature Editor Susan Gray wrote two stories on the Love Canal neighborhood of Niagara Falls, New York. She described how the chemicals dumped there several years before by Hooker Chemical Company had gradually oozed their way to the surface of the homeowners’ properties. She reported the residents' horror, their indignance over the authorities’ lack of action. About a week later, the New York Times ran a story: the state declared Love Canal an environmental and health hazard. Governor- Hugh Carey flew in by helicopter, surprising everybody, and promised to do all he could to help the distraught neighborhood. A week later. Time magazine ran several pages on'the story, fraught with color photos. Now the homeowners of the Love Canal neighborhood are enraged. Under the leadership of Lois Gibbs, the Love Canal Homeowners Association is protesting how the Slate leadership Seems to have forgotten its commitment. Environmentalists are citing the Love Canal situation as a prime example of how bureaucracies gloss over the horrible human realities that abuse of chemical and nuclear technology can bring. The two articles written in this special section, both by Assistant Feature Editor Brad Bermudez, who visited the area and interviewed both homeowners and construction workers are not meant to be comprehensive, by any means. They are more intended to give the reader a brief impression of the area, and the controversy surrounding it. More importantly, this section serves to introduce a series of four public forums, sponsored by the Environmental Studies Center at UB, with political and environmental experts discussing how society might handle the responsibility of deadly toxic wastes. The first two forums, to be held in Wuldman Theatre in Norton Hall, will be March 2l and 22, beginning at 7:30 p.m. The Spectrum will provide in depth coverage of these two, as well as the final two forums held one week later. - An unsettling walk where ‘the soi by Brad Bermudez It was a brisk February day and the workers had begun cleanup operations several weeks ahead of schedule. Workers wearing bardhats, face shields and rubber over-garments were “steam-sterilizing” metal beams used for drainage trenches. “I don’t think it’s that dangerous.” said one of the workers with a sterilizer in his hand, “as long as you don’t touch any of this stuff. Most of the workers preferred not to say anything. Said one, “I’m here to gel a job done, not to make headlines.’ 1 And another, “I’m not supposed to say anything.” An electrician reluctantly admitted. “A lot of people refused to work here. 1 don’t want to be here but if I wasn’t. I’d be on the bench.” The electrician was working -around a roofless vat collecting leachate beneath the clay cap. Inside the vat, the leachate, a black tarry liquid, curdled before being pumped to a processing station. The leachate had an eye watering, headache-inducing odor. A puddle of the noxious substance stained the snow surrounding the tank. “We don’t know ,r what this stuff ig, said the electrician, “but we have to wear masks every time we work near it.

The GHOST TOWN: The Hooker Chemical Corporation acquired the Love Canal property in 1946 and dumped more than 100 chemicals into the landfill there. Eleven of the chemicals are now known to be cancer causing agents. Two years ago, homeowners in the area noticed acried smells leaking into their cellars and streams. Now, all the houses in between 97th and 99th streets are evacuated. — Ihe "Nii to I heir wall he lio.ii'ili il 111> lines. nongh In keep ghost low n: no s: nothin lid lea\ abitaiiltin nrdinalor>. and ’bold remain. \ north entrain ake bools loorwav was a rubber coals hat nan-eating >es aren’t held MS rsm * residents don’t believe that; they’re lighting to he evacuated.

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

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

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

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

In 1972 he became a lecturer for College B. For three years he taught philosophy there and received an appointment as Associate Master of the College. After his stint, two y«sars of which went unpaid, Ketchum’s lectureship was terminated by then Vice President of Academic Affairs, Bernard Gelbaum who decried Ketchurh’s “onconventional approach to education”. His firing, Ketchum admits, has virtually crippled his cardi&cas a University instructor and will probably prevent many of fn?m being philosophical writings (on published and distributed among scholars. Ketchum is completely disenchanted with UB. He sees his community as the last bastion of general education here. “People, the administrators here, tend to confuse higher education with just more education,” Ketchum believes. “Ketter’s record of giving students an education is terrible. He wants specialization,” fumes Ketchum, “and is not impressing morals and standards upon students.” � The current residents of-the farm, which is about *25 minutes from the Main Street campus amid a private and rural Clarence Surrounding, are a different brand than those who' first formed the community several/' years ago.

The resolution will soon be considered by the Faculty Senate Executive Committee. tiles The motion will be forwarded by the New York Public Interest Research Group (NYPIRG) to the Faculty Senate Executive Committee for a similar endorsement. A January 29 announcement by the New York Public Interest Research Group (NYPIRG)stated that the tiny asbestos fibers from the basement practice room ceilings of the Music Department's Baird Hall home were posing a hazard requiring 'immediate alarm The alert has drawn varied degrees of response front parlies involved. Alarmed department faculty members and students are struggling to evoke some attention from’ University Director of Environmental Health and Safety Robert Hunt. Asbestos has been linked primarily to lung cancer, but also to cancers of the throat, stomach, colon and rectum, Asbestosis a fibrous malting of the lungs requires, according to reports, higher concentrations of asbestos exposure than does the incurable cancer, mesothelioma. A campaign by NYP1RG has solicited recently outside assistance such as UUP’s ty help along corrective action in Baird Hall. - No delays Although UUP President Oliver Gibson said Friday that his organization has been involved with the issue “at an informal level for some time,” NYP1RG official Bob Franki said that the Union became active after its President-Elect, William Allen, was “He then approached. the immediately presented resolution,” Franki added. According to Franki, little debate the surrounded resolution’s passage which calls upon UB administrators to order immediate air sampling tests and remove the hazard without delay “if any asbestos fibers are found in the air.” “When Hunt was asked for a comment,” Franki reported, “he said that he, not NYPIRG, was the expert and made allusions to inaccuracies in our statements on the related dangers.” To date, despite documented evidence that low concentrations of asbestos are carcinogenic, Hunt maintains that the levels in Baird Hall produce no hazard. He has voiced his support, however, of replacement and claims the project awaits the necessary funding.

The audience of “soap” fans looked like they were ready to wash his mouth out with Clorox 2. Entitled “What the Critics and Viewers Say About What They See,” the panel was the last segment of a two-day conference featuring academtans and soap opera actors, writers, producers and reviewers. Under the direction of UB Communications professor Mary B. Cassata, the program wds designed to present a critical view of the daytime television dramas a social and cultural as - phenomenon. The audience of some 300 resisted the few however, attempts of the various speakers tp tarnish the already shoddy soap image, clearly opera demonstrating the fierce loyalty of suds addicts. An estimated 50 million Americans per week stop whatever they are doing, at work or at home, to adhere their eyes and cars to favorite soaps. While the 13 operas currently aired nationwide are often scoffed at by high-brow scholars, they are no joke to the three major networks which realize 80 to 90 percent of their from daytime profits television advertising. Slap in the'face “It’s about people time out stopped snobbing soap operas,” declared' Sarah Felder, who plays Shioban on Ryan's the Hope currently , seventh-ranked soap at four years an infant of the family, where Guiding Light is a 42-year oldster, dating back to the early radio days of serial drama. Felder asserted that while most television — Gunning Inconsistency i ' Orasin attributed much of the problem of controlling handgun use to the patchwork of laws —from very weak to fairly .strict found in states across the country. “New York State has passed some — ' toughest gun-control legislation in the country: Despite these restrictions on the purchase and use of handguns, it has been found that 96 percent of the handguns used in crimes in New York came from surrounding states where gun-control is more lax. This inconsistency makes individual state laws virtually ineffective,” he emphasized. Executive Director of the Coalition to Ban Handguns, jibed BeaftT, Michael that Aquilino’s statement about “criminals commit crimes, not handguns” is a catchy phrase for a sticker but bumper is not supported by facts. “Uniform crime reports make it clear that the presence of a handgun is the most contributing would audience knows very well,” she viable to Fatal flick An estimated 94 percent of all action in soap operas revolves around romantic relationships, according to Manuela Soares, author of The Soap Opera Bonk. illustrating just why by Ryan's Hope script writer Mary Munceri for the scarcity of controversial storylines. “Writing a soap script is unique in that you are dealing with characters the been Other taboo themes were identified as incest, racial tension, and homosexuality. the activist character she portrays Censored romance Strong identification with story roles was one. reason given have a that explore.” personally possess the qualities of vividly social situation DiVIncenzo ARE THEY FLAKEY? Actress Sarah Felder proved to be an articulate and dynamic individual speaking at last week's'Soap Opera Symposium here much like Shioban, the character she portrays on 'Ryan's Hope.' Felder declared that people get hooked on soaps because the situations help them assess their own values. Seated next to her is panel moderator Saul Elkin, chairman of the UB Theatre Department, who once did a soap opera stint himself. — explained. The decision to include' occurred a child abuse case, for example, rests mainly on the existence of a present character who is capable of doing such a thing. This dilemma can be resolved by the addition of new;' short term characters to do the deed, as last year on All My Children, currently number one by the Nielsens. Munceri also indicated that the controlling network and sponsors sometimes censor a storyline. She referred to a proposed R - jn ',i Hope plot in which a Jewish While admitting that because they are taken so seriously by devoted have -a soaps viewers, responsibility to present current said, she problems, social “Viewers watch soaps for the fantasy, they don’t want to deal with harsh, brutal facts on a day to day basis. Soares cited one recent soap opera scene that had homosexual connotations. “It was so unnatural for the characters. You could see that the actors were uncomfortable doing it.” she “When noting recounted, something controversial like that is shown, the mail (protest) is overwhelming.” Soap usually producers and writers, more often than prime-time show creators, heed the views of their audience and have been known to change lines to amend story dissatisfaction and avoid the fatal flick of the channel switch. Actress Felder elucidated her own theory on how viewers get hooked. “It’s like playing doll house,” she ..conveyed, “Soap operas allow us to project our own' feelings onto the characters. Through our feelings of affection or attack for them, we redefine our own life positions. We confirm our own existence in an, increasingly alienating society.” . gun for fun like to shoot but 1 know top that its there for tny protection if I ever need it,” he said. the story,” she said. “Yet it is prevalent —continued from page 1 . gun in my home, 1 feel it’s my prerogative to have it. I keep a of operas instead “provide a devotees become so entranced with the dramalogues. Soap opera talents are very carefully cast into their roles, only after long term searches, and many actors remain with the same show for years. Both audience and actots therefore come to identify actual individuals with the characters they portray, Sometimes confounding the two. Mart Hulswit, Actor of fourth-ranked soap Guiding Light, recalled that at one time when his had character, Bauer, Ed kidnapped his own son and beat his wife, a viewer who spied him in a supermarket parking lot attempted to ram her cart into his car. “You have to say something to jar them back to the real world," he noted, adding that once reality is established, the viewer often feels cheated because the character is merely a fantasy. “People are very disappointed to find that I don’t know them," concurred Felder, “because they feel they know me. It’s,partly the phenomenon of TV, bringing us into their homes day after day.” became intimately involved with an Irish Catholic. “The heavily ethnic overtones were frowned on by the network, so the relationship evolved into an entirely different vehicle for people to get angry, happy, emotional. This is the essence of a dramatic theatrical experience,” she said, “it excites.” The Juilliard-schooled actress was easily the most vocal and popular defender of the soaps at Friday’s session. She seemed to — woman orthodox acts as an anaesthetizer or passivity inducer, programming Editor factor to homicides and suicides, especially among juveniles. 1 mean, a youth isn’t going to hold up a 7-11 store with a baseball bat.” said Beard. Beard attributes much of the public’s lax attitude toward gun-control to the image of the handgun’s easy acceptance on TV. “A television study done during 73 hours of prime time shows monitored the appearance of weapons used with the hands, for examplg, guns clubs. The results showed that a weapon was brandished an average of nine times an hour and that handguns were seen in 80 percent of the confrontations. Deadly weapons Also cited by Beard was a conducted in Cleveland, Ohio which showed that for every study burglar stopped by a handgun kept in the home for “protective purposes”, six or .seven family members or acquaintances were killed or injured by that same gun. “The handgun issue is one last dinosaur of our society,” Beard claimed. “A man that keeps a handgun home for in his should protection also be considered ‘dangerousv ’. “The average private citizen shouldn’t have the right to pbssess deadly, concealed weapons. There are definitely safer ways of protecting oneself and one’s family,” he said. gun-control of Backers legislation point out that the traumatic assassinations of two major U.S. political figures were an indirect result of government failure to pass more potent - gun-control legislation. “Senator Robert Kennedy was gunned down on June 4, 1968 by a snub nosed .23 caliber Iver Johnson Cadet pistol, just two months earlier than the assassination of the Reverend Martin Luther King Jr.,” said Beard. He further explained that although a weak flawed gun-control bill the of cleared House and Representatives on the day Robert Kennedy died, and later became law,- Congress later rejected handgun registration, either in committee rooms or the chamber of one House or the other, no fewer than 16 times. “The_ only thing that may get us another gun-control law,” said a pro gun-control lobbyist in another despair, “is assassination.” —Smith ANTI-ANWAR ACTIVISM: Some 30 Arab students marched and chanted in the Squire Hall fountain area Friday afternoon in protest of last week's progress in the finalization of accords between Egypt and Isreal.

There was one abstention to the resolution Hunt. Although Hunt pointed to figures of 518,000 and Si,000 for ' — _ — replacement and air samplings respectively, one UUP member said that if lives were at stake, it is “petty” of the University to ignore the problem regardless of cost. In a March 5 interview with The Spectrum Music Department Chairman William Thompson indicated that his faculty members are concerned enough to take up a collection among themselves for an air sampling. “According to the resolution,” Franki argues, “any fibers in the air are cause for removal. We contend that fiber presence is ' — obvious. It University administrators adhere to the resolution’s contention that ‘any’ amount is hazardous, a test is a waste of $1000.” NYPIRG is now planning to focus its attention on “upper administration” here “to help alleviate the difficulties (funding) Hunt is encountering in his efforts to correct the situaTion.” The group will additionally seek a meeting with the Director to for the discuss his plans “immediate removal” of the ceilings. �•v ‘National security’ * Computer warfare technology a future reality —not fantasy note: This is the fifth of a six part series dealing with the age Editor's of the computer. This installment the potential describes for computer warfare. by Jon Stewarf and John Markoff Pacific Mews Sendee “1 personally think it has the possibility of being one of the greatest steps forward in warfare gunpowder.” Thus did since Senator Barry Goldwater laud the long-predicted battlefield’’ “automated five years ago. thanks to Today, the lightning-rapid advances in computer defense-related technology, many military experts believe that gunpowder itself will soon be destined for the history books, replaced by large and small laser weapons. Indeed, the foot soldier of the not-so-distant future will march into battle carrying, as his main weapon, a computer on his knapsack. With it he will be able to direct a pencil-thin beam across the horizon which will “see” incoming enemy projectiles, instantly backtrack tjre trajectory of the projectile to locate the mortar or rocket launcher, and then send a digital signal to a friendly firing station several miles away, which will launch “smart” weapons, guided by laser, infrared or optical sensing devices, with deadly accuracy. This system is not an armchair general’s science fantasy. It is going into production this year under a $166 million contract to Hughes Aircraft Co., awarded by some the Army’s Electronic Research and Development Command. H ughe s’s com pu ter-con trolled Fire finder is just one of hundieds ot new military applications which have been made possible by the microprocessor, the tiny. silicon -based computers-on-achip. Just as these fingernail-sized gadgets are revolutionizing the way people work, so arc they revolutionizing warfare. ‘It s an old cliche,” said magazine Electronic Warfare editor Richard Hartman in an “but the interview, microporcessor is really a solution looking for problems.” Hartman thinks the Pentagon “hasn’t even begun to figure out all the problems these devices can solve.” Remote-controlled That doesn’t mean they aren’t on the drawing boards and in various stages of production are prototypes of weapons systems that will make warfare in the next century a remote-controlled largely exercise in which computers Will do everything from surveillance to actual combat. Tiny electronic sensors, first used during the Vietnam war, have become so “smart” thanks to the microprocessor that they will be able to identify virtually every trying. Already movement, smell, noise or temperature change over hundreds of miles, alerting a command computer to enemy movements, troop size and type of armament. Western Europe, for instance, could be “electrified” by a vast of such sensors, each sending information back to what one expert has termed “a huge network electro-optical-infrared eyeball.” Such a system would also have an ominous potential for keeping track of any internal dissident groups, be anti-nuclear protestors or political terrorists. The command computers,such as the Army’s Remotely Monitored Battlefield information with Sensor System, now undergoing testing respond be able to will automatically to the sensor’s a variety of "smart” weapons, such as laser or radar guided munitions. These weapons, commonly known as PGMs (Precision Guided Munitions), can strike short or range targets medium with incredible accuracy and at a fraction of cost of the conventional weapons. According Philip arms researchers Morrison and Paul Walker of MIT and Harvard, respectively, such weapons could potentially reduce the nation’s military budget by 40 increasing war percent while fighting ability. h e s e However computer-controlled weapons also will jiiake warfare extraordinarily intensive and violent. "The damage power of weapons will go fantastically up due to the superaccuracy brought on by microelectronics," says Electronic Warfare’s Hartman. beam Charged particle weapons, which the Russians art if working now on, may, perfected, make nuclear war obsolete, replaced by the far more war of pure directed energy. Remotely piloted vehicles (Rl’Vs) increasingly and sophisticated cruise missiles will put pilots at computer consoles in possibly command bunkers, hundreds or even thousands of miles away from the battle. Missiles, once fired into a battle area, will be able to hover until tell their their sensors microporcessor that a suitable target has appeared.

The steelworkers union objects to the compliance order on two main grounds: that the agreement was concluded without union input and that it docs not provide for quarterly progress reports. Bethlehem management officials, on the other hand, maintain that the company has made a concerted effort at emissions abatement and has $35 million in captial expenditures on pollution control equipment to prove it. A Bethlehem engineer contended that the steel corporation possesses some of the most innovative emissions control technology in the industry. The company representative ran a slide presentation to illustrate the kinds of technology they’re employing at the Lackawanna plant. Mugdan however, charged that the company is not doing enough. He countered the company’s contention that the technology is just not up to meeting the tough EPA standards by citing examples of other steel mills across the country that currently comply with IP A regulations. One steel plant in Kentucky meets the EPA regulations with pollution abatement equipment discarded not long ago by the Lackawanna plant. Based on this evidence, “there’s no reason why Bethlehem cannot comply with Federal- standards,” Mugdan concluded. The Huflalo Evening Slews reported on Saturday that the EPA is on the verge of concluding a comprehensive anti-pollution agreement with Bethlehem. The plan, the News reported, includes tradeoffs tor emission standards at some plants, where meeting the guidelines is more difficult, with standards at others. ‘Grandpa’ ■continued from page 5 . . additional courses added to their major requirements. For students with 56 or more credits, the grandfather clause will set a limit of two additional courses on major requirements. Check first Jiusto doesn’t think major additions due to accreditation standards will be very common. Management and Engineering are two departments in which that may occur, however, and students in those areas should check with their departments. Finally, the grandfather clause specifies that it will cover students only as long as they maintain continuous enrollment here. An allowance for exceptions among Millard Fillmore College students is also made The clause approved by Ketter permits departments to add up to two courses to the requirements of sophomores who have been accepted into a major. Jiusto said he was upset at the change which will primarily affect Health Sciences students. “1 don’t think it’s right morally or ethically to change the rules'after someone has been accepted into a major,” he remarked. What the grandfather clause does not address is whether the University will change the graduation requirement for entering freshman from 128 to 120. Dean of Undergraduate Education John Peradotto has asked a Faculty Senate Committee confront that question, according to Jiusto.

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

Eventually, after the longest debate on any of the amendments, mathematics was made a part of the two-course requirement in “Physical Sciences and Technology.” Previously i Gen Ed committee members had explained that math was intended to fall under that heading anyway.

The Senate then voted to specifically mention the Colleges ifi proposal A—2, but not before George English Professor Hochfield dug up a familiar objection to College courses unqualified instructors. “There are at least 12 courses in literature where the instructors are simply not qualified to teach,” Hochfield said, using caution in including all Colleges courses within Gen Ed. But it may all be irrelevant in Phase 11 of General Education as Dean of Undergraduate Peradotto John Education pointed out.

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

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

The problem, said McConnell, is diminishing and with the coming of spring and warmer weather, will hopefully disappear.

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

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

First of all let me state the definition of minority according to Webster's New Collegiate Dictionary. It is clear that gays fit into every part of this definition. Minority 1. a group having less than the number of votes necessary for control, 2. the smaller in number of two groups constituting a whole, 3. a part of a population differing from others in some characteristics and often subjected to differential treatment. It seems to me that Marcelle’s concern is not the 1 idea of what a minority is or who they are but her own selfishness of being gyped out of something or even her own prejudices against gays. I think it is the third part of the Webster definition that we are concerned with here. I am also concerned with her insinuation that gays stay in the closet. Gays have often been subjected to differential treatment and they do differfrom the majority of the population. 1 can see your point of also being a minority because the majority of people in your building are Over thirty. I am sure you are not subjected to hostile treatment because of that. I too, am a minority by being left handed but that hasn’t madS my life difficult.

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

When I reached my car I found that the “flyers” were really ten dollar tickets for “parking outside the double yellow lines.” OK. Fine. I admit it, 1 was wrong. Even though I had circled the lot for ten minutes behind a train of cars, searching in desperation to find a space in time to make it to class. Even though the next lot was approximately half a mile away and I would be very late for class if I parked there, I was “wrong” to park there. So, the fact that I received a ticket didn’t bother me. What made me angry was that 1 drove to the address shown on the ticket to pay the fine, it turned out to be the Amherst Police Station. I’m not going to argue about the fact that the police have a poor priority system in that they prefer to spend their time persecuting the poor university student with numerous parking tickets over their no duty of preventing the true “crimes” within their district. This is not my point My point is: If we students are to pay exorbitant parking fines for on campus violations the revenue created should be used for on-campus improvement (possibly the increase of parking spaca) not to purchase police cars for the Amherst cops. CARASA doesn't speak for all women To the Editor. I am a Fourth Year medical student at U.B. On March 8th, 1979 I was present at the Sub-board I meeting where the issue of obligatory inclusion of abortion coverage by the Student Health Insurance Policy was debated. It was stated by CARASA representatives that there was not even a possibility that this be an area of optional coverage. It is significant that as a third year medical student I was given the CHOICE of the extent to which I wished to participate in the learning experience involving abortion, a CHOICE which is now being denied to me- if I wish to participate in the Student Health Insurance Program. I object to those statements made, at the meeting in which it was stated or implied that the representatives of CARASA were speaking for all wonten. They were not speaking for me! The statement made that “the ‘Right to Conscience’ is a new term for ‘male privilege’ indicates an attempt to blur the issue involved and implies a disregard for this right. In regard to woman’s rights no mention was made of the right of unborn generations of women to LIFE, yet womens’ rights appeared to be the core Significance of the CARASA argument. What about the issue of abortion in those cases in which the sex of the child has been determined and the decision to abort made on the basis of the female sex *of the child? This is a woman’s right to life? Yet this issue is distinct however from that which I see in the case at hand. As regards the insurance policy and women from both a persona) and professional and personal point of view I find it interesting that the policy as it now stands covers the costs of abortion and not those of a routine cyVological study to screen for cervical cancer. The fact that the only request of those favoring freedom of conscience in regards to the inclusion of abortion in the policy, is the option of CHOOSING or REFUSING to have abortion ..includf 4ip their coverage and the fact that CARASA has refused to consider such a proposal indicates an attempt to distort the fact that the issue involved in this case is whether or not, in this university, there will exist an atmosphere conducive to freedom of conscience without deprivation of rights. I am personally opposed to the obligatory inclusion of abortion coverage in the Student Health Insurance. George N. Konst Stop delaying Senate To the Editor: It has come to the attention of many students at this University that the ongoing dispute between the SA Senate and the SA Executive Committee has increased to maximal proportions. Although this heated controversy is not a rarity amorl(j universities across the it nonetheless remains fixated within the two opposing factions. The Political Science Club fPSC) brought this dispute up at its last meeting and although its members were reluctanMo place any blame on either side, it came to the conclusion that the referendum calling for the dissolvement and restructuring of the SA Senate is far from a viable solution to the dilemma. If the SA has the ability to dissolve and restructure the SA Senate, whenever it disagrees with Senate, then where is the that particular constitutional right of those members to voice their concern on student affairs? The Senate is supposedly the legislative check on the Executive members of the SA. If the Executive Committee has the power to abolish that check then where is the principle of federalism that this country was founded on? If the SA Executive Committee firmly believes that these members of the Senate are not representative of their individual constituencies, then they should take appropriate steps to assure that they have a representative elected to the Senate through legitimate methods, (i.e. beat out the incumbent representative at the next annual election) The current Senators have a right to the position they hold in the student government and any ability by the SA to relinquish that right is a direct violation of that body’s duty to express it’s concern for the welfare of the student body at this . Nancy G. Dvorak of abortion To the Editor: - » The editorial of Monday, March 12, served to point out the insensitivity of the editorial baord to issues which are of grave concern to women on this campus. Since when is abortion an “issue of such narrow significance”? While General Education, the “University experience” has been altered by an unplanned pregnancy. The pros and cons of the abortion question are many, but to downplay the signficance of the issue is a disservice to the University community and an affront to, women whose lives are very much effected by such questions.

Patience Dowd •- Grow insensitivity To the Editor Although I share your despair at the lack of general involvement in matters of educational policy here at UB, 1 must object to your belittlement, in the 12, on editorial of March abortion-conscience controversy. The right of a woman to exercise control over her life is not “an issue of such narrow significance.’’ And, although you ipay accurately perceive the origins of the conflict in the activities of “a well-organized, vocal minority,” T.think you err in denying the fervor of the hard-won rights for that attack on abortion-funding; indeed, the response of the UB x your ■f -. ; ' Rights of Conscience Group may more accurately be identified as just one facet of the swelling conservative attack on the progressive, social benefits fought for and won only after long, bitter debate , and struggle in this country. Again, you are right, I think, in urging a greater participation in the affairs of their University on the parts of students here; however, your diminution of the abortion-rights issue appears as a gross insensitivity to the problems and concerns of ,, women’s liberation and health-care in this country. Lester Roy Zipris TA, Dept, • < � a# of English "• , ' The SA Senate should not view this stance by the PSC as diiectly parallel with their policy concerning The Spectrum. The PSC wouldrather see the SA Senate re-evaluate their objectives with regard to The Spectrum.

The majority of the Senators should recognize that what they are asking is beyond their jurisdiction.

Stop allowing your emotions to rule your intellectual capacity to serve your fellow students. There are a lot more important issues to be dealt with in the Seriate chambers.

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

It seems to me that Mr. Chapman has taken this film too lightly, almost as a joke. After I saw The Deer Hunter, many elements stuck in my mind, clever ideas and cinematic devices. A film does not have to hand the audience its components on a silver platter, as Mr. Chapman may expect. The movie does contaiif a natural sense of humor among the characters, which not only made the audience laugh (this did happen, it wasn’t my imagination) but it added depth to their cinema personalities.

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

"critics" like Rex Reed and Gene Pryor is an artist, which is to 5 Shalit (through their overuse and “■ abuse of the word “genius”) have say that his Work is fundamentally almost relegated that golden at one with his idiocyncratic personality. Richard Pryor is his utterance to vapidity. But I use it nonetheless cbmedy. This .is why I cad him a genius. How else could we because Pryor gives the word life. Webster’s New International appreciate a man who shoots the Dictionary lists as a definition, “a car his wife threatened to leave personification Or embodiment him in? In his genius, Pryor is almost esp. of a quality or condition.” This is an excellent description of alone among comic superstars. Pryor. His thin, mocha brown Steve Martin is a falling star, never body with its rubbery face is the that brilliant to begin with. near-literal embodiment of George Carlin and David Brenner comedy. Though one might try, have been completely VegasizedPryor’s ability to send any Saturday Night Live lives on in audience into convulsions of name only. But Pryor is still fresh, > of elements that work impervious to lazy reliances on old material and to super stardom’s and glitter polyester. Each time we greet him, we connect with a living something that has grown and gone forward since the last time. Listening to Steve Martin or The Not Ready for Prime Time Players these days is like listening to your old comedy albums. We get the impression that now that they’ve made it, they feel they can rest on {heir laurels. For them, comedy’s become a lucrative job'. With Pryor, there is an overwhelming sensation of urgency: he needs to do comedy. He is trying desperately (but joyously) to get something out. Richard Pryor attempts to turn his ego inside out the humor is in our glimpses of his comic soul. He does more than entertain us; he is doing something for himself. Thus, there is in his comedy an exhilirating sense of private sharing with a private man. Layering of elements Pryor is not a comedian spitting jokes at us rapid fire. He rarely stands still at all. He frantically paces the stage, falls down and wriggles on the floor, shakes his arms, and swivels his hips. He is a comic actor who uses his body 'to more fully express his inner urgency. But his bodily activity cannot match the animation of his face and voice. The expressiveness is nothing short of amazing. His features seem plastic, grins shrinking into eyebrows pouts, elevated descending into a cartoon character’s scowl, nose crinkling in disgust. His voice is equally fluid, streaking from growls to shrieks and whines. Pryor likes to play with his microphone in a way reminiscent of Bill Cosby, pushing it against his lips, trying to swallow it, banging it against his forehead. Body, voice, face and give microphone poetic a verticality to his content Each joke, aside from its punchline or turn of phrase or absurdity, is given harmony by this layering of elements. Often times, just as in true art, his form is his content. Pryor’s material is virtually unbounded and therefore difficult to characterize'. In his film Richard Pryor Live in Concert, his comic musings run the gamut from pets to funerals to walking in the woods to “fucking women.” Nothing seems to be outside his range and we deduce what we felt all along: Pryor’s comedy is in his basic approach to the world. In the film’s beginning, he takes on an unfortunate Don Rickiish air, razzing the white members of the audience, coming uncomfortably close to racism at times. We wonder if a white comic said comparable things about blacks, would he get away with it? But the fact is, Pryor never does cross the line into reprehensible racism. He pokes almost as much fun at "niggers” as he does “whities.” This is the stance of a humorist, not a racist. A humorist will say anything so long as it’s funny. This most definitely describes Richard Pryor. The comedy concert is a good idea- and one wonders why nobody ever thought of it before Rock concerts have been around for almost a decade and have been quite successful. As rock stars became as big as movie stars, they got their own movies. It’s only right that as comedy stars became as big as rock stars, they too should get their own movies. Early rock films tried to make rock stars actors. The Beatles film* A Hard Day’s Night and Help!, directed by Richard Lester were fitted into the narrative tradition. Eventually, rock films took to reproducing the concert experience, concentrating on the music rather than the stardom of the musicians. Comedy stars have long been movie stars ever since the silent days of Buster Keaton and Charlie Chaplin, continuing with Laurel and Hardy, W.C. Fields, and Mae West. But all starred in narrative films. The stand-up comedian found themselves forced into this mold. The concert experience went unnoted except for brief, highly expurgated versions on TV Richard Pryor was a success on the nightclub circuit and had made a number of acclaimed albums before entering film. But he entered as an actor in such films as Silver Streak, •Which Way Is Up? and Blue Collar, acting ‘other people’s scripts under other people’s direction. Even his short-lived but excellent TV show failed to give full leeway to his peculiar talents and his corttedy albums, though also excellent, lacked his humor’s all-important . visual aspect. But in Richard Pryor Live in Concert, the man, known only to those fortunate enough to catch his stage show, gets full exposure. On the bare stage, Pryor is in full control and thus realizes himself completely. Uncensored with unobtrusive direction by Jeff Margolis, the film is quintessential Pryor. It is well received: not only because it evoked the loudest, most continual I’ve heard since Monty Python’s And Now For Something Completely Different, but because it is also an auspicious beginning for a possible new film form. �f m* w ■/Upoies Agatha' is puzzling It ? s1 f Wonder why it's here by Harvey Shapiro In early December 1926, the famed mystery writer Agatha Christie created a real life mystery of her own when she suddenly disappeared Without a trace.

Exactly what occurred to Christie was never revealed (she claimed amnesia), but the new Michael Apted film Agatha attempts to hypothesize the 11-day events of the disappearance. Unfortunately, like the police in this mystery, screenwriter Kathleen Tynan does not solve the mystery. Instead, she realistically creates a story that is more exploitation than imagination. Apted and Tynan fill the first 20 minutes of Agatha with the known events of the 11 days. Agatha, glum and disenchanted with her marriage, leaves her house outside London one night. The next morning her car, with a fur coat and clothes still inside, is found abandoned in a wooded area. Ten days later, she is discovered in a healtfy spa in Yorkshire County hundreds of miles away from London. In Tynan’s version, Christie took a train in ,order to reach her final destination. Once there, Christie peculiarly registers under the name, of her husband’s mistress. Meanwhile, her disappearance has the police — searching the countryside, and newspapermen clinging like leeches. One American reporter, Wally Stanton, sensing that Christie is alive, discovers her at the spa. There, a relationship develops between the two, adding romance to the mystery. Fact overcomes fiction The mystery, since we know where Christie is, revolves around the reasons for the novelist taking refuge at the spa. Is Christie there to dig up facts for a new novel? To have her husband prove a love that is not there? To commit suicide? Or finally to kill her husband’s lover who also happens to be at the spa? But history destroys the suspense Agatha attempts to create. For instance, we know Christie lives on for another 50 years to write other books, thus she cannot succeed in any attempt to kill herself. Similarly, Christie was never jailed, thus she cannot succeed at any murder attempt. Apted tries to overcome this historical drawback by using short, fast paced scenes To heighten the suspense and keep the audience guessing at Christie’s every move. But the net effect remains the same. Agatha is much like knowing the ending of a Christie novel before sitting down to read it. Apted, with the aid of photographer Vittorio Storaro, also uses'lntricate lighting and photography to try and overcome the historical constraints. At the start of Agatha, characters like the reader at the opening of a Christie novel are literally in the dark as to Christie’s whereabouts. Stanton, for instance, is portrayed in dim light (even if sunlight is pouring into the room), thus reinforcing the mysterious air Apted is trying to create. Once Stanton has found Christie, the reverse is true and he becomes engulfed in light as if the solution to the puzzle had dawned on him. Lighting and staging also are used by Apted to portray the developing romance between Christie and Stanton. The lighting in the spa is bright, effectively of the mood capturing relationship. The casting of Vanessa Redgrave as Christie apd Dustin Hoffman as Stanton provides one of the film’s few comical Since Redgrave is several inches taller than Hoffman, their dance together in the spa’s ballroom cannot help but induce laughter from the audience at their efforts. It is one of the more enjoyable sequences in the film. Otherwise, Redgrave screenplay’s overcomes the deficiencies to effectively portray Christie as a confused woman who loves her unfaithful husband. Her performance is one of the brighter ' - R«dy»»» atwmpti to put torn* iparh in ‘Agatha' Rea! Ufa mystery it unrealistic and unmysteriout points of Agatha. Hoffman, also hampered by a lack of personality in his character, does not give a performance up to par. He is simply not believable as the smooth talking journalist. Agatha's love story does not work. Tynan has sabotaged the by romantic interest not developing the effectively characters of Stanton and Christie. Stanton particularly lacks development There is no clue to any personality other than that of an arrogant journalist whose motives in following the story are suspect This leaves the audience ambivalent to the main protagonists of Agatha and to their romance. Despite all the attempts to emulate a Christie puzzler, the picture falls far short of capturing the famous mystery and intrigue. Agatha is not a bad film by all means, just one that fails to give the audience two hours of suspense.

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

Outside of The Six Wives of Henry VIII, Elizabeth R, and /, Claudius, they are slushy period dramas set in meticulously furnished parlors.

Masterpiece Theater is clean and sophisticated soap operas for the literate. Programs, like Poldark and Upstairs, Downstairs are sumptuous vacuums providing just enough entertainment to string the gullible viewer along. Despite flourishes to the contrary, these series do nothing and jayjiothing. There’s no personal vision, no originality, and there's an ignorance of humor, irony and trope. Masterpiece Theater is corpulent with pretensions and falseness, broadcasting its good taste and devotion to the god of culture. Many people apparently buy this dreck, taking it, along with their subscription to The New Yorker, as an emblem of refinement. But this is completely undeserved. One notes that though Masterpiece Theater is true to the letter of the <lassi*s, it is false to their spirit. The classics became classic because they were genuine works of art, alive with personal passions and the vision of the artist. Masterpiece Theater approaches them, not as living impressions of lives, but as revered icons of culture trapped in musty libraries and dark museums. This is at the heart of what’s wrong with the program and why I object so strongly to it; Masterpiece Theater is a betrayal of art and of artists.

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

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

According to the Assistant to the President of the Tuition Assistance Program (TAP) John Moore, there is no guarantee that TAP will be raised, since the action of the Trustees was not a “It would legislative one. therefore not trigger an automatic aid hike,” he said. A new maximum of $5000 sets the boundary for New York State loans, which students fear will not, in view of the recent legislation, have their limits extended. The SBA report points out that the individual student’s budget for the past year was set at $5185. “With the increase, it must automatically go up to $5386," the report states. It argues that UB law school students are still reeling from the effects of 1976’s 77-;—-- $400 fee boost Headricks believes that increased costs will either drive away prospective law students out of State or out of school or drive the “best” students out of SUNY.

Gretchen Knapp, an undergraduate in the Classics Department, has taken full responsibility for the exhibit. Though the cases were empty and unreserved at the time she requested space, she claimed library officials took nearly a month to give her the go-ahead. Even then, she was given no assistance. The lights in the display cases, for example, have remained unrepaired. “I’ve been given a lot of runaround,” she said. , The display will continue until April 1st at which time it will be replaced by a Polish exhibition reputedly the same exhibition as last year.

In recent months, however, paper shipment delays have created the present dilemma. The paucity of papyrus has affected some departments here drastically, others hardly at all. The English Department is one which has been hit hard although a recent shipment has lessened the blow. Normally, between 70,000 and 80,000 sheets are distributed monthly within the -Department. The recent cutback has forced professors to obtain their own paper or cut down on class Stenographer Kay hand-outs. Maher, who is involved with English budget and supply, has dispensed the paper during the shortage. Among the resultant problems is a constant jamming of the photocopying machine. “People bought their own paper which was causing jams in the machine. In Spectrum Paper. We write on it. We read our news from it. We even blow our noses with it. But a nationwide paper shortage has made one of our most common items a rarer commodity. the According to US Department of Commerce the source is of the problem threefold; an increase in paper consumption; slow development of the paper mill industry, unable to accomodate the heightened demand; and widespread strikes by paper mill employees, A UB purchasing agent said the shortage is driving costs way up. “Usually the price of paper is fairly low, but when company X can sell their supply for a higher price, they’ll sell it to those willing to pay that higher price,” he explained. “In my opinion, it’s not a genuine shortage, not anything that can’t be cured,” hi: related. “It’s purely artificial, they create a shortage so they can get the price they want. It’s controlled ’ inflation.” —continued on pave 22— The apparent dearth of paper may be likened to sugar, meat and coffee ‘scarcities’ in recent years which were later deemed big business ploys.

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

Sam Pellom, master of the backboards during a four-year career for the University of Buffalo, will be making his local professional debut when he returns to the Memorial Auditorium at 8 p.m. tonight. Signed by the Harlem Globetrotter organization, “The Bam” is currently averaging 17 points a game for the team paid to play the Globetrotters, the Washington Generals. As a starter for the Generals, Pellom faces the daily prospect of fighting valiantly only to be defeated by the world reknowned legends. As a sophomore at UB, Pellom put the Bulls on the basketball map by out-rebounding the nation. Though his final two years were less successful, his overall career is studded with numerous Buffalo records. With more than 1300 points, Pellom ended his collegiate playing days as UB’s number two all-time scorer,, topped only by Jim Home’s 1833 points in the early I950’s. In addition, the 6’9” native of Gastonia, North Carolina, holds seven other individual records; most blocked shots iri one-game (13); most blocked shots in a season (155 in 1975-76); most games played in a season (26, 1975-76 and 1976-77); most games in a career (95 of 95); most career rebounds (1201); most Trotter tradition The team he competes against has amassed a few records of its own, as well. Formed 53 years ago, the Globetrotters have played to the tune of “Sweet Georgia Brown” (a theme-song as popular as the Trotter’s magic circle) before audiences in 97 nations. For many of the crowds, the Trotters’ antics was their initial taste of roundball. In the early days, the Trotters played under the strict operation of entrepreneur Avc Saperstien. One of pro basketball’s most respected founders, he quickly launched his Magicians of Basketball into the years before the game had branched into a multi-million dollar operation. At the peak of their success (in the late 40’s), the Trottep were considered the elite of pro ball. As the first team to use an organized scouting system, they were able to attract otherwise outstanding, bt unknown talent. Prior to the formation of the National Basketball Association (NBA), the Globetrotters were the club that every other organized squad yearned to defeat something rarely accomplished. The infant years of the NBA featured an annual all-star game in which the NBA’s best were matched up with the invincible — roll along. men from Harlem. With his shiny billiard-ball As the NBA players improved their playing ability, the trotters head, Neal almost stands out as were forced to simply entertain. the diplomatic figure on the Featuring the dribbling magic of Globetrotters. At age 45, Neal has Marques Haynes and the comical played before billions of fans, live exploits of “Meadowlark Lemon,” and through television coverage, the Trotters remained famous by and is readily recognized becoming a show for the whole throughout the world. “Our fans family. Haynes was joined by an are the greatest,” Neal has said, equally exciting ball handler, “Regardless of where they are, dr Curley Neal, in the late 1950’s, what language they speak, they while the Trotters continued to always respond to a smile with a nothing makes you feel better than making somebody happy.” The legend of the Globetrotters is quite intimidating for Sam Pellom and the Washington Generals. On January 5, 1971, a last second desperation heave by player-coach Red Klotz lifted the Generals to victory. Otherwise, the Trotters’ record is perfect: better than 5000 victories without a defeat. �No Names dethroned I Wagon’s 82-80 win nets ‘B’ title by Carlos Vallarino coming from the left side and all popping into the net without touching the rim or the backboard. Assistant Sports Editor A new Intramural Basketball “B” League champion was crowned Monday evening at Clark Hall, but by no means could it be said that one game decided which team was indeed better. One need Chuck Wagon 82, No only look at the score ' Names 80, in double overtime to see that these two teams are evenly matched and will never settle the question of superiority. The No Names ended their one-year reign atop the league rather unceremoniously, almost giving the impression that they didn’t want to win. Several times throughout the game the Noes,held leads of five or more, but they seemed to lack the intensity and drive to put the Wagon away for good. For example, the Names were ahead 30-20 with just five minutes remaining in the first half presumably a safe difference until> the intermission. But a live-point spurt (on a basket and subsequent steal and three-point conversion) by Jim Ferrare brought the Wagons back to life. Taking advantage of the Names’ loss of poise, the Wagon team climbed right back- into contention, and led by Richie Sherman’s successful interpretation of a foul-line shooting clinic (eight for eight for the half; 15 for 15 oyerall),-ended the first twenty minutes tied at 39. Joe Wald’s desperation jumper with a few seconds still showing culminated Chuck Wagon’s on the clock — - — resuscitation. One-man show “We should’ve put them away when we had ftffem, but we let them back in the game,” said a‘ disappointed Mark Allen of No Names. “But it was no dishonor losing to them. They were very good.” The words of admiration for the other team were on every player’s lips, and it became evident that these two squads now respect each other highly. “They were really excellent,” remarked the Wagon’s 17-point scorer Mike Reinert, who, as one of the winners, may" well have had an easier time complimenting the opposition. “We were evenly matched, but the key was our bench.” The only player Who contributed more than Reinert was Sherman, who tallied for 29, and guided his team out of cold spells w th several clutch two-pointers apd crucial free throws before fouling out in overtime. “Everyone on the team came through,” said an elated John Solomon who doubled as the Wagpn-coach, “but Sherman was a one-man show. He could have beaten them by himself.” At certain instances in the. tong contest it seemed a$ If he planned to do just that. After roughly 7 minutes of play in the second half, Sherman hit on three straight 25-foot bombs, all ; After the shooting exhibition, Sherman tried a long one from the right side, but the southpaw’s aim was off, and the Wagon had to settle for its slim 51-49 edge. However, the lead did not hold up for long. Playing with two key performers in severe foul trouble Reinert and center Kent Johnson, the Wagon’s pivot in the two-one-two zone defense Chuck Wagon fell prey to the No Names’ balanced Scoring attack, and trailed by 63-59 with six minutes - — left. Overtime, again But Sherman and teammate Joe Ward were still around and together they managed to bring the Wagon to within 71-.70, capped by a Sherman free throw after a No Name technical was called. With rperely a minute to go, Chuck Wagon used a time out in order to work out strategy. Although the Original plan was unsuccessful, a pair of offensive rebounds guided tire bali to Steve Treglia, who scored on a 15-footer from the right side, and put Chuck Wagon ahead; 72-71. After the Noes had regrouped by using a time out of their own, the .Names’ Howie Grossman attempted a short jumper, but met.with an obstacle an all-out thwarting try by Ward. For his efforts, though, Grossman received the opportunity to win the game: a pair of foul shots with four seconds left. He confidently put in his firsTattempi, but,his next bounced off short, and time' ran out Ivith the count knotted at 72. The fifty or so spectators gave both teams a rousing round of applause when they .reappeared on the floor for the five minute,overtime session. And just to please the loyal crowd, the players staged an encore. The Names had taken a quick 76-72 lead in the first extra period, but then simply watched the Wagon roar back, even without the trusty help of Sherman, who had fouled out. With the score knotted at 78 and 40 seconds remaining, the No Names held the ball and still had a chance to lay claim to the title for the second year in a row, but failure to organize a concise plan forced Jay Fieldstein to unload a last second top of the key express. With everyone holding their breath, the ball fell quite short of the mark, forcing another overtime to break the deadlock. The short two-minute period ended abruptly, but sweetly, for the victors. Following an even trade of field goals, the Wagon team had possession with only 45 seconds showing. After working the ball inside, Ward fired in the game winner, a shot that seemed to bounce on the rim forever, but one which finally dropped through for the new champions. — —DIVincenzo OSCAR: Steve Treglia o' Chuck Wagon has one foot in Hollywood as ha tries to draw an offensive foul on Rick Steele's shot.

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

The negative recommendation includes science courses which are necessary for admission to departmental majors and professional programs along with those which will satisfy requirements in the University’s still unshaped General Education plan. In advising against a hike in credits from four to five, the subcommittee noted with conviction that such an increase would “work against the spirit of the Springer Report and would inhibit rather than enhance a more liberal education.” The recommendation comes on the heels of a DUE Curriculum Committee decision to award two credits to Chemistry 319 and 320 laboratory sections. Combined with a lecture, the course will now be, in effect, a five credit offering. Implicit Chairman Donald Subcommittee Larson, administrator in the Health Sciences division, explained that his group was not charged to study the effect of credit increases on upper level courses, but that its report includes the upper division implicity. The report suggests that the spirit of the Springer Report be considered in any credit change decisions. Larson warned that expansion of credits could raise some majors above the 128 hours currently required for graduation, making those study areas less attractive to prospective freshman. “We think some of what’s going on may not hurt retention but might hurt recruitment at this University,” he said. In a vacuum In considering credit changes, the committee agreed that five credit courses are not alone in discouraging breadth of education. Four credit courses will, they believe, also limit the opportunity for students to explore various disciplines. “Required courses which retain four credits for four contact hours should be examined, not in isolation, —Kflm but in terms of their cumulative effect in degree programs before authorization is given," the report Donald Larton, gibcommUl— chairman Expansion 'might hurt mcrvitmtnt concluded. an —continued on page 18— SA forum marked by fruitless debate, meager audience by John H. Reiss the current referendum is not the best method to achieve this. He called the proposal “regressive” and said that the new Senate would be comprised of a very narrowly defined group of individuals creating a “closed system.” He indicated the change would give UB undergraduates a Senate which is “even worse than we have now.” Discussing the Senate’s passage of a number of resolutions calling for the dissolution of The Spectrum and the creation of a new newspaper to be managed Special to The Spectrum Few came, less conquered saw, no one Proponents and opponents of the referendum calling for the dissolution and restructuring of the Student Association (SA) Senate brought their cases to the student body Monday in a subdued forum in Squire Hall’s Haas Lounge. If attendance is any indication of student interest, very little interest exists The recently organized forum was viewed mostly by the usual handful of students who bide their time in Haas Lounge, and who just happened to be present when the debate was sprung upon them. The rest of the sparse audience consisted of Senators and activists, although a few people did manage to pop their heads in when someone yelled or the microphone squeaked. The debate generally followed a pattern of statement and denial; a spokesman for one side would state his case, and someone from the other side would rise and claim that what the audience just heard was totally fallacious, and proceed to give his version of what is really happening. And what is really happening most certainly would have been unclear to anyone who just stopped by to get a handle on the issue. What became clear is that each side is unalterably opposed to the other, and that the forums will not serve to generate new student interest, and touch off a surge of new voters to the polls. Empty resolutions Director of Student Affairs Scott Jiusto, a strong supporter of the resolution, opened the forum claiming that the Senate’s efforts to destroy The Spectrum violate almost exclusively by Senators, Sinkewicz said it is “crazy” to think that the Senate wants to run The Spectrum. He claimed The Spectrum has been charged with approximately ten violations of its charter six of which he said have been substantiated. SA’s attorney is currently investigating them, he said. Sinkewicz called charges that the Senate has been irresponsible “crap” and said “this whole thing has been blown out of proportion. The Senate is not set up to take action. The Executive Committee keeps things away from the make look Senate to it irresponsible.” During question the and answer period, Senate leaders would not say whether they planned to accept the referendum, if it passes, by stepping odwn from their posts. At its meeting Thursday, the Senate passed a invalidating resolution the referendum, and gave itself the power previously held by E&C, to review the legitimacy of all referenda before they may come - TENNIS, ANYONE?; Monday’s often student foium in Haas Lounge drew a sparse corwd comprised mainly of student activists. Student Association (SA) Senators and executives. The forum mainly followed a pattern of the publication’s freedom of and called Senate speech, documents the favoring dissolution “plainly illegal.” He asserted that the Senate had absolutely no right to assume The Spectrum's assets, and called the Senate’s to directive SA on Sub Board I, student corporation, representatives inc., the “obviously illegal. We could be sued, but that didn’t stop the Senate.” Jiusto attacked the Senate matters for taking Constitutional into its own hands, alluding to its refusal to be bound by decisions made by the Student Wide Judiciary. “The Senate thinks it can just do what it statement and denial. Above, SA Senator Bob Sinkawicz that The Spectrum and the SA Executive Committee are U> blame for 'matking the Senate look like it's doing nothing.' charges chooses,” he said. He criticized the legislative body for attempting to seize power from the SA Elections and Credentials (E&C) Committee, and for seeking “sole authority” to amend the SA Constitution and the Book of Rules. Jiusto scoffed at some Senators’ claim that they have been working on crucial issues Such as tuition. The only real work the Senate has done, Juisto said, has been to rubber stamp measures already taken by others essentially pass empty and said it is not Committee, the Senate’s duty to bring up issues. He the Executive claimed Committee should bring issues to the Senate and charged that by the SA refusing to do so officers are giving students the impression that the Senate is doing nothing. Worsening the Senate’s image, Sinkewicz said, is the biased reporting of The — — Spectrum, which he said reports news aimed at “making the Senate look like it’s doing nothing.” resolutions. Even worse!? Bob Sinkewicz, a leading Senator and principle combattant with the SA Executive Sinkewicz admitted .that both the Senate and the Constitution need reorganization, but held that to a student-wide vote. Sinkewicz said the Senate would abide by the referendum it if considered it to be fair, but gave no indication whether the Senate feels the referendum is fair. Ketter’s involvement In ‘The Spectrum’ affair refuted lawyers to investigate the matter. If the violations are substantiated, he said, Ketter will order The Spectrum out ofits Squire Hall offices and off the UB campus. Not so, says Student Representative to the University Council Michael Pierce, who has kept in close contact with the President. According to Pierce, Levinson did speak to Ketter, but only in hypothetical terms. Pierce said that Levinson asked Ketter whether or not he would be able to take legal action against a student group on campus if it were engaged in an illegal activity and that Ketter agreed Student activist Michael Levinson said Monday that he will not only fight The Spectrum in the Student Association (SA) Senate and the student corporation, Sub Board 1, Inc., but that he has dragged University President Robert L. Ketter into the fray. Levinson told a gathering of students at Haas Lounge Monday that "he has discussed The Spectrum's alleged violations of its charter and of state and federal laws with the President. Levinson claimed Ketter has directed his Inside: Exerting tuition hike pressure—P. 2 / Women reclaim the night—P. 5 / that he could. At no point, according to Pierce, did Levinson ever bring The Spectrum into the conversation, nor did Ketter say that he was taking any action whatsoever “This indicates to me that Lev is misleading the Senate,” Pierce claimed, “and that is a recipe for disaster.” Pierce said that The Spectrum’s alleged violations is a student matter, and argued strongly against bringing in the University Administration"to‘decide th£ issue.

Pierce had to struggle for his right to make and second motions. He has since been campaigning for the voting privilege of the student representative to the group. The Council handles various University issues such as the naming of buildings, setting dormitory regulations and influencing many major administrative questions. It has been open to student representation only since 1976. No cliff hangers Pierce acknowledged that giving students their one vote on the Council would make little difference. “The other members could easily gang-up against student interests if they wanted to,” he said. He claimed that “many” of his motions this year carried a sound majority. “There have been few, if any, cliff hanging votes were my ballot might have decided the issue,” Tm notat all optimistic' PPEARING £ i ’ fk Pierce explained Enfranchisement of the student representative to the Council would require amendment of Section 356 of the State Education Law. “I am not at all optimistic about anything being done on this matter in the near future," he I * IONITE AND THURSDAY NITE1!!!

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

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

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

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

Unleash the fury of women as a mighty force for the cause of revolution. The infinite echo of the cry for liberation resounds not only throughout “California and the New York islands,” but also in Third World countries, where the movement for the liberation of women is now on the brink of true emergence. Last Thursday, the Third World Student Association offered a panel discussion in celebration of International Women’s Day, bringing to light the struggle of minority women who must contend with racist, as well as male chauvinist, oppression. Speech Communications graduate student Naomi Nhitwatiwa spoke of the plight of Zimbabwe (Rhodesian) women. The roles of women there “were always clearly defined,” she said. “The wife belonged to the whole family,” she stated; therefore one married not a man but a community. The three major functions of the wife were as an aunt (so she could supervise the conduct of her brother’s children) as a wife (so she could maintain her own home) and eventually as a grandmother who served as a “consulate to the whole community.” ” New Senate meets . . . if ‘United efforts’ Women’s Studies college instructor Wanda Edwards spoke next on the role of the Black American woman in this “common struggle.” Capitalism exploits black men, but exploits black women even more, she declared, citing the existence of double oppression. Edwards emphasized the importance of a united women’s liberation effort; “The only contingency we cannot meet is the disunity among oppressed people,” she declared. The National Alliance of Black Feminists is currently working in conjunction with other groups for the cause of equality. Edwards quoted black author Greta Lemer in saying, “Fight, and if you can’t fight, then kick, and if you can’t kick, then bite.” Mass killing The third panelist, Educational Studies graduate student Fatia Said of Palestine, claimed that “sexism is a side issue the oppression on Palestine due to Ideological evils According to Nhitwatiwa, religious missionaries Zionism is the major concern.” In the last 50 years inflicted further ideological evils on Zimbabwe the struggle of Palestinian women “has been side by women, introducing the concept that “wife must side with the struggle of Palestinian men,” she obey husband,” and that “husband and wife must declared, concurring with the other panelists that forsake the community and cling to each other,” “unity is the major thing we have to work on in laws catalyzing the disintegration of the extended overcoming oppression.” She remarked, however, family unit. Hie dowry system, which began as a that “one situation in which women are not symbolic means of tying two families together, was discriminated against is mass killing.” Palestinian grossly twisted into the simulation of buying a women are being tortured by Zionist forces right woman, which “like merchandise, could be returned along with the men, she said.

The service, originated by the UB Anti Rape Task Force, has been continually refined to reflect the larger goal of a safe, walkable campus for all students, male and female. The UB Escort Service works because sensitive and hard-working people make it work. It ought to be something of a model to other sgp/ices on this campus, which often fall short of their intended goal: to help. — — Extend the break It was not too bright to end Spring break on the day following Easter. Any reasonable person would conclude that students will be forced to leave their families and travel on Easter Sunday, which belies part of the reason for granting Spring Break in the first place. Perhaps, as a recent letter-writer suggested, the University can extend the break one day in lieu of the snow days which were built into the schedule this year but never used. It makes good sense and would be an admirable gesture toward students who would like to spend this holiday in living rooms instead of airport lounges. Wise expense analysis We support SA President Karl Schwartz and Treasurer Jim Killigrew's decision to conduct an expense analysis of all SA clubs and organizations with budgets over $5000. There are and always have been serious questions about how of impropriety the allegations SA, is with money spent in traditional stimulus a only for comprehensive look at the books. When the analysis is complete, its results ought to be made public, so that students can truly see where their money goes. When they do, SA's current stand against a hike in the $70 activity fee will look even wiser, we predict. We hope that this expense analysis will be the beginning of a stricter financial policy in SA so that student money is put to more useful purposes than wine and cheese for club members. — — Student Association, following up on its responsible efforts to fight the tuition hike, is making it easy for students to write their legislators and demand extra money for the SUNV system.

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

Don’t tell me what 1 should be feeling! The fight against an Robert Eldred To the Editor Perhaps the “grossly disproportionate attraction” to the hearing on the insurance plan Thursday March 8 in Haas Lounge is evidence enough to assure the editors of The Spectrum that the abortion coverage issue is of much greater importance to the students here than , education,” the academic plan C.U.S. of Gen Ed proposal On Monday, a letter expressing concern with the of the Standing Committee on General Education” signed by the masters or administrative officials of almost all the colleges (all but two, 1 believe) appeared in Tile Spectrum. My name and that' of the College of Urban Studies was missing, and I feel that this absence deserves an explanation. 1 share all the concerns expressed by my colleagues on the potential impact of the General Education proposal on the students’ freedom to choose course work from the wide array of courses available at the university. If a series of decisions in implementing item 2 of Proposal A, the identification of units and of courses to fall under each of the designated knowledge areas, is carried out so as to exclude more often than include courses, then the students will be greatly constrained in their educational options. Such a policy is not, however, implicit, let alone explicit in the General Education Report, nor was it, as I understand it, generally in the committee and subcommittee leading discussions to the development of the present proposal. Thus, while I share their concerns, I do not share my colleagues’ judgement that these concerns should be expressed as an opposition to the Committee proposal itself. A recent “interpretation” by Dean Peradotto has resulted in no College’s courses, except where they are cross-listed with departments, being included in the distribution system now in effect. While this simply reaffirmed what has been the situation up to now, and thus is no further threat to registration our under the preserft set of requirements, implications threatening to the Colleges are clear. If this judgement were to serve as a mode! for inclusion or exclusion in the new and much more encompassing general education plan, the colleges would be greatly hampered in their “Report Editor-in-Chief Jay Rosen Backpage Campus To the Editor To the Editor Wednesday, 14 March Business Manager Bill Finkelstein 1UI VOPD IS ISSUED TUM CNLV BSEKTTIAL NEED KEfORT KRVORK— AND NOM* SOWS UP.'' Equally concerned The square Write a letter Vol. 29, No. 70 'WHM DOES IT All contribution to the university in general, and to the students in particular. The exemption, that cross-listed but college-based courses may be included in the distribution calculation, and thus, that were other courses so cross-listed the porblem would be solved, is in principal reasonable. It is unrealistic, however, to expect departments faced with cutbacks and threatened with retrenchment to add courses to their curriculum which do not augment, but rather which threaten their FTE ratio. In the College of Urban Studies we have many courses which would routinely be in a departmental setting were the departments to have faculty in these areas already on their staff. These courses, as courses, would pass curricular scrutiny with no difficulty and the instructors, as instructors, would pass credential scrutiny. Where this is not the case, corrective procedures are underway. We do evaluate our courses. We will drop weak ones, and we will drop weak instructors. Since no personnel other than graduate assistants derive their primary income from C.U.S. we have an ability to assure continued quality in our courses. We now have an evaluative mechanism as well, one which relies on faculty based in departments to do the evaluation and to scrutinize the syllabus. Similar mechanisms may be found throughout the colleges. Were these mechanisms rather than the politically sensitive one of cross-listing in a Faculty based department td be used for inclusion in the General Education plan, we and the students could benefit from the broadened perspectives built into the new plan. Thus, 1 share my colleagues' concern, indeed their indignation but feel that it is directed toward the wrong, albeit the most timely, issue. Erwin H. Johnson Master College of Urgan Studies , Professor, Dept: of Anthropology �esdaywednesaay College curriculum committee To the Editor: Dean Peradotto has rejected the request of the that certain non-cross-listed courses be permitted for undergraduate distribution credit. His letter to the Colleges has been answered by our Dean with the advice of the Colleges Council, but we, members of the Curriculum Committee of the Colleges Colleges, choose to respond publicly so that the issue can be evaluated by all. We ask that our request be reconsidered in the spirit of the equitable treatment for all parts of the undergraduate curriculum. Dr. Peradotto claims that College courses do not receive standard disciplinary review and that they are rubber stamped (after being labeled “experimental”) by the DUE Curriculum Committee. The first claim is not true. As for the second, we quite emphatically believe that College courses have not in the past been rubber stamped and just as emphatically deny that they should be. The courses we label “experimental” are a defined subset of courses we submit for approval. Our courses are reviewed and modified within on feedback * The Senate's standards distribution credits for undergraduates to be strong; we both support it and argue that our proposal is wholly consistent with the concept as defined and modified through time. Passing curriculum and “disciplinary” reviews are seen, by the DUE Dean, as critical steps in any quest for academic legitimacy and entrance into the distribution credit process. Yet such legitimacy is defined so narrowly as pertaining only to courses within traditional departments at U.B. that the Colleges along with other non-departmental programs can never meet the DUE — - test. Should a narrow definition of discipline prevail, the Colleges would not be the only units in trouble. It is interesting to speculate on the Deans’ views about the School of Management, the School of Architecture and Environmental Design, American Studies, Millard Fillmore College, etc., and their course offerings. Examining the DUE undergraduate catalogue, case by case, we find a non-systematic mosaic of inclusions and exclusions. By comparing course titles and descriptions, any observer can confirm this finding quickly. The arbitrary criteria for courses qualifying for distribution credit is seen not only in comparisons between departments, but also within individual departments. What else could one expect, when the process by which courses have been labled eligible for distribution credit is little more than the* product of a history of non-curricular decisions? Undergraduates must be confused by these arbitrary originating College and in the Colleges Curriculum Committee prior to submission to DUE. The Colleges Curriculum Committee considers in minute detail the course content, format and rationale as well as the instructor’s qualifications for teaching the course. Courses that do not pass scrutiny are referred back to the submitting College for further development. Once passed by this criteria. Committee, the course is reviewed by the Dean of We maintain that, to the extent that Colleges the Colleges.

To the Editor How can you publish such destructive news about my Student Government? 1 feel that the Senate has done a very good and meaningful job. It’s very hard for students to go to school and then turn around and govern our students, budget our money and appoint different committee persons who they think will operate in the students’ best interest. 1 find it Very hard to believe that most of the students who voted last week to abolish their student Senate didn’t question why the Executive Committee would still remain intact. I’ve always believed that if one branch of our government (Senate) wasn’t living up to these standards then the other branch of government (Executive Committee) wasn’t living up to theirs. How can we (students) stand by and let The Spectrum, Karl Schwartz (our S.A. President) demean and demolish our S.A. Senate, and let the Executive Committee get off free without a bruise. Think about what your vote of “yes” has done to yourself and to all the other students at this institution. If the referendum is passed you will not have a voice because no one but inexperienced organizational members will run your government and handle your money. The Senate is still strong and will fight for the cause. Alison Hedgepeth Sheila M. Richardson S.A. Minority Student Affairs The Senate: something good? To the Editor. I’m writing in response to Bob Sinkewicz’s letter (3/9/79). Even although this letter will be appearing the last day of the referendum elections, Bob Sinkewicz’s letter was too ridiculous to ignore. His logic (?) in disqualifying the validity of the referendum. . . to claim that the student body were needed to validate the referendum,(only 10% even know about it is outright stupidity. The same “logic” can be applied to the Senate elections themselves. For example, for the last Senate elections, the 15 senators who were voted in by the were elected by only about 600 students. Does that make them invalid? The referendum ha*yh(sen extended 3 more days, anyway. In response to his comment, “curiouslv„ Jay Rosen and Karl Schwartz will in no way be dffdCted by this vote, . . I can only say they’resliavlng office anyway. What more do you want? And finally, maybe the student body would hear of something “good” that the Senate did if the Senate ever decided to do something good. '» - ” - - — Adrienne McCann Rosen: graduating? To the t'ditor. Silly generalities To the t'ditor. Critically responding to Ross Chapman’s article (The Spectrum March 7th) dealing with the “New Right” is probably an exersize in futility. After all, who really expects objective journalism or unslanted political commentary from The Spectruml None the less, the piece by this movie critic turned frustrated political analyst warrants some comment. The author is obviously a tried and true “liberal”. In a mere 3/4 of a page he “liberally” lumps housewives, Ku Klux Klaner’s, the girl next door, Republicans and rednecks into one neat pile of clandestine conspiritors bent on persecuting blacks, gays, and pregnant women. He “liberally” sprinkles his article with cute stereotypes and generalities that smack of the very narrowmindedness he purports condemn. Oh, but this work was not without to of the average income American, with his job at the plant and thirty year mortgage, upon learning he is a “clear-skinned citizen of affluent middle-class”: and the startling revelation that the throngs of California citizens who ratified Proposition 13 are actually a band of no-goods .dedicated to starving the poor! Why, 1 had almost believed they were people grown tired of an irresponsible government sucking them dry, exersizing a constitutional right to do some thing about it; and of course the power behind this evil is ultimately exposed (no, not the CIA) but the dreaded “nuclear family”. Knee-jerk bullshit ad reverse Archie generalities, Silly nauseam! Bunkerisms, and ignorance of human individuality is VERY “un-liberal” Ross. Perhaps The Spectrum should consider “uncrowning” their new features editor and relegating him back to revealing to us all the sopial implications of Jaws //. it’s Richard S. Barnes enlightening moments. For example, imagine the joy Sigma Phi thanks To the Editor We, the brothers of Sigma Pi, would like to thank all those involved in making our John Valby concert Saturday night a huge success. We’d like to thank the following people and organizations without whose help this event could not have possibly taken place: Mr. Donald Hosie, Mr. Rozak, Mr. Hayward Parks, Mr. Garry Soehner, and University Police, A special thank you to IRC and Eugene DubickU who greatly helped us coordinate this event. Also we would like to commend the students for their spirits and enthusiasm while still being under control of their emotions during and after the event. / Sigma Pi I 'raternily The rise to power by Jay Rosen is probably the worst thing that could have happened to The Spectrum. Since he took over, the paper has taken a real downturn, to the point where most students seem truly dissatisfied. While 1 do not quite agree that the paper should be destroyed, 1 hope Mr. Rosen is graduating this year, for the sake Ot the readers. I, for one of them, will not miss him. A.S. Brown editori next note: year. there will be a of Graduation, new editor in Chief course, is another question. Use the Escort Service To the Editor: I am writing to thank the UB Escort Service for .the excellent care I have repeatedly received from thefr escorts. My housemate of two years ago was raped, spurring my decision to move back into the dormitories. There was no safe alternative unless I were to purchase a car. Now there is, and off campus, but feeling much safer. Whenever I’m on campus after dark, I wait until 8:30 p.m., call the escort service and I am esported home safely by both a man and a woman. They even have van service now, so if you leave on the hour, they’ll give you a ride home. Don’t be the one who thought, “It could never happen to me!” It can and it does. Play it safe. Use the Escort Service. They’re here for all of us. Uuiue M. Hade �00 I (L Practical joker To the Editor. In The Spectrum issue 051 March 9, 1979, my name was signed to a letter’ I did not write. The article, “Another Health Fee Question,” was obviously done by some practical joker I don’t belong to the Christian Scientist Religion and 1 see nothing wrong with prescribed medicine and hospitals. In fact, I have both a brother and a sister who are studying to be nurses and I wholeheartedly support them Ronald P. Turk Tosh and the people who make Reggae To the Editor. This Jctter is concerning the review of the Peter Tosh concert, in Prodigal Sun. The criticisms made had little basis and lacked insight. To say that “Tosh just became too involved in rock ’n roll. . . ”, is ridiculous. Tosh is part of the forefront of reggae music and his actions reflect the musics’ direction and future. With the exception of Jimmy Cliff and Bob Marley, Peter Tosh makes the future for reggae music. You may not like what you hear, but what you hear is reggae. Further on in the article I learned that “The even-handed playing of openers Exuma and the Is the writer Obeah Men was better than Tosh’s. , . serious? The warm-up band is what should have been criticized, not the main act. These guys looked and played as if someone had just dragged them in off the street, stopping at the Salvation Army to pick up their costumes. The writer also quoted one of Tosh’s earlier songs and implied that he has departed from the more subtle style that he used to have. Commenting on this he said, “The overt becomes obnoxious, even boring.” Lets leave those decisions to the people that make reggae. Incidentally, the concert was on Saturday night not Friday.

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

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

For more information call GSA Office 6B6-2960 - �Traditional to surreal « to Albright-Knox offers a variety of art work Editor's This is the final three-pan series Buffalo's oldest note: of a segment describing museums. by Brad Bermudez Ass I. Feature Editor No matter what you make of the subject matter, the surrealistic fantasies of Dali, Tanguy and Magrite on the first floor are nothing short of arousing with their nightmarish images of dissected bodies, black spheres hovering in a night sky, and garish faces. Even more enticing at the Albright Knox Art Gallery are the bright, primary hued canvases of the constructivists leading to the glaring, yet simplistic “Pop” art of Warhol, Lichtenstein and Rosenquist. There’s a new brass sculpture of a water filled beaker that appears conspicuously on e d i m e nsional. Flashing billboard images of an Oxydol box, a ballerina’s legs, meat balls, and others lend a sense of the transience of a pop oriented - locietv There is more modern art on the second floor. At the top of the stairs is the abstract expressionism of Franz Kline, William DeKooning and Frank Stella. Kline’s “Requiem,” a massive black and gray vortex, looms ominously next to DeKooning’s chaotic portrait of a woman, a frenzy of slashing green, red and yellow strokes. Retrospections The Albright Knox is primarily museum of modern art as the suggest. It has, in fact, the second most extensive collection of modern art in the country, second only to the Museum of Modern Art in New York, according to director Serena Rattazzi. “When the museum was started in 1862, the directors decided to concentrate on contemporary art. By choice and necessity then, our focus has always been to collect modern a aforementioned titles art.” The collection is actually larger than space permits, so works are often rotated. According to Rattazzi, the museum’s board of directors meets every month or two to decide on new acquisitions. Money for acquisitions comes from endowments, local donors, and grants from the National Endowment for the Arts. Because of its reknowned status, the museum is able to attract major exhibitions regularly. There were 13 last year, including the Armand Hammer collection of world masterpieces and the exhibition of American Art of the Seventies arranged by Albright Knox curator Linda Cathcart. Planned exhibits include a collection of Tibetian art, a showing of Constructivist paintings and a retrospective of Expanding horizons Many exhibitions are arranged major museums across the country while others, like the American Art of the Seventies, are compiled by Albright Knox by CONTEMPORARY CUTS for contemporary people x 1525 Millersport Highway Amherst, N.Y. (In the Amherst 25% Off Manor Apts.) Henna S Perms 632-8549 The Albright Knox Art Gallery illuminated at night Offers second most extensive modern art collection in U.S. curators. In either case, arranging the works requires a tremendous of effort. Cathcart conducted extensive research in libraries and other galleries before she even began to arrange the Seventies collection. In this case some of the works were arranged thematically while others were put together merely by aesthetic merit. Said Rattazzi, “An exhibition may be arranged chronologically, thematically, or just by what looks good; it's a amount whole science. Our curators are given a lot of freedom to do what they want The subjectivity of curator in presenting a collection of- artwork is clearly evident It’s amazing said Rata/.zi, “when you see the same the see how different the works look in a different arrangement Don’t get it Major exhibitions generally draw large numbers of people but attendance has been fairly constant throughout the past few years, hovering between 250-270,000 yearly. Said Ratlazzi, “There seems to be an interest in art in Buffalo, but we’d like to see a lot more. We’re trying to reach a wider audience, not just our regular patrons.” To reach that audience, the museum offers lectures and films on art history, art classes, and periodic exhibitions of works by local artists. In addition, a community outreach program organized in 1964 to bring free art Lady of laad entitled 'Night' by Aristide Maillol Alone among the dear, coo / columns schools and joined with UB’s Art Department to provide services to a wider range of art enthusiasts. Said Ratazzi, instruction to community centers, “Walking through the halls, you hear a lot of cliches like, ‘I don’t understand what’s on the wall.’ That’s why we’re trying to educate the public.” Now is the time to order your aps & Gowns Co-**** March 15th 10 am RAFFLE FOR M.D.A.

E miiiwo OPENING LINES: Over the Usl couple of decades we've heard lime and lime again that our major urban areas are on the decline. The statistics on the middle class flight to suburbia, the shaky state of city finances and the economic plight of the lower class and minorities are compelling evidence of this seemingly inexorable trend. We've seen New York City, the nation's economic capital, rescued from near insolvency, the default of Cleveland, and inir cillies' depressed ghetto areas engulfed by flames and violence. Below is an incisive article by T.D. Allman, a contributing editor to Harper's and East Coast editor of Pacific News Service. Writing about Cleveland, Allman takes a view in sharp contrast to most recent press coverage. The city’s controversial mayor, Dennis Kucinich, a is not a bumbling political buffoon, he says, but rather battler against the large corporate interests that have a stranglehold over Cleveland.

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

Instead, as his victories in three hotly-congested elections in 15 months have proved, he is one of the most effective big city politicians in America today. To understand both (the enmities and loyalties Kucinich arouses, it is necessary to leave Cleveland’s booming downtown to the and travel out neighborhoods of working class, ethnic Cleveland. It is also necessary to leave behind the conventional media images and confront what matters most to Cleveland’s voters, the issues. This is not a world of left-wing flower children, but of factory workers with American decals on their cars, of middle-aged women with thin cloth coats turned up against the cold who, before they switched their loyalties to Kucinich, three times elected the only Republican mayor of a big American city. as Sturdy neighborhood Not long ago the image of cities like Cleveland was of decay, white flight and abandonment. image Today post-industrial “gentrification,” rediscovery by young, the professional whites of those beautiful inner city brownstones. But this Cleveland is still a land of foremen and overtime and life on the assembly line, which the white working class never fled. neighborhoods of These are sturdy clapboard houses that have grown quaint; of bookstores that don’t sell art books but sports magazines printed j in Slavic languages.

When the presidents anil chairmen of the big Cleveland corporations call Kucinich a day - “rabble rouser,” as several of them did in inteiviews before the recent election, this is the rabble to which they refer. Yet in conversations in places with names like Settler’s Tavern, or in store front shop? selling a dozen kinds of homemade stiudel, one hears questions for which the corporate spokesmen ard massive bureaucracies have no answers. Political laboratory Why are ghetto youth bussed miles across town into their but not into suburbs like Shaker Heights thft are closer? If MUNY is so worthless, they ask, why is CE1 which never ceases to increase both their electricity bills and its own profits so eager to put it out of business? If the city is in why are the such dire fiscal strai banks so hostile to Kucinich just because he tried to deny them tax abatements for multi-million dollar skyscrapers built on the most desirable land in the city? In one of those neighborhood restaurants where Kucinich is a neighborhoods, - - '' familiar face, an elderly waitress comes up to shake his hand. Outside in the cold, a group of workmen wave to him. At an intersection, three young blacks roll down the windows in their car, even though it is ten degrees. “Hiya, Mayor,” they shout. Here Kucinich is not the enfant terrible he seems on TV, or at the Union Club. In his three-piece suit he is the local boy made good. page 12- In an address to the National Press Club last October that was in much better received Washington than it was 4 in downtown Cleveland, KuciniCIT “a national called Cleveland political laboratory, putting to the significant political a test question, ‘Can a city government, based on the support of the poor working people, increase and services, improve the. standard of living and the quality of life, and survive politically without the support of big business and even with active opposition?’ significant about What is Cleveland is how consistently Kucinich has tested that question by fighting out the issues on their own merits and letting the electorate decide. Though the proposed sale of ,MUNY was the biggest issue, Kucinich’s whole term as mayor has been the history of a political leader with an almost maddening conviction that he must not ” compromise. Business as usual Typical was the request for a $14 million tax abatement for the $60 million, 35-story new downtown in headquarters Cleveland of the National City Bank one of the leading — institutions that later precipitated Cleveland’s default. The b;nk, with $2.9 billion in assets, is the most profitable in the nation, in terms of earnings. In every other big city in America the municipal government eager to ensure the good will of such a powerful corporation would have instantly granted the abatement. Kucinich challenged the entire concept. At a time when the city faced fiscal problems, he asked, why should it lower taxes for one of the richest corporations in the UNIVERSITY BOOKSTORES — — world? If the purpose of tax abatements was to help troubled industries stay in cities, why break go to National- City, not to the small and medium-sized concerns that should the ,tax are leaving Cleveland? Since then the list of corporations Kucinich has refused to give favored treatment reads like the Fortune 500. He also has fired hundreds of incompetent or corrupt city bureaucrats. The result is that Cleveland, almost alone among American cities, has a city government which not only is against “business as usual,” but which actively impedes it. “They say I’m a clown,” Kucinich observed, before his success in the latest voting. “Let’s face it, this city was ruled by clowns for years. They’re out to get me because so long as I’m mayor. City Hall won’t be a yes-man for corporate interests.” While Kucinich and his closest aides no doubt are often personally acerbic, it is clear that any mayor taking his stantj on the have incurred the implacable enmity of the vested issues would interests Kucinich has challenged. Because of Kucinich, for example, CEI still has an anti-trust suit, amounting to more than one-third of a billion dollars, pending against it. Every other major politician in the city wanted both to drop the suit and let out the competition. CEI buy Almost all observers in Cleveland agreed on two things before the recent voting. The first Was that the city’s fiscal crisis is not of Kucinich’s making, but the inheritance of predecessors who counted on “business as usual” to save the city from default. The second agreement was that by defying the banks, Kucinich was needlessly not only risking bankruptcy for the city but committing political The truth is that with far better media images. Kiicinich himself has prevailed yet again at the polls. In the tiadition of Kucinich’s populist predecessor at the turn of the Century, Tom L. who once wrote, “1 Johnson believe in municipal ownership of all public service monopolies . . . because if-you do not own them they will in time own you” Cleveland, following the refusal to sell the city-owned utility, now the perhaps only city has government in America that acts — - as an effective countervailing force to special interests. And in the era of Prop 13 fever and the “taxpayers’ Kucinich evidently has them down at the polls for years. “Who governs? That’s been the question ever since Kucinich took observes office,” Roido Bartimole, a widely respected local journalist, who produces an letter. news independent “Corporate executives who make a big profit here, but live in the suburbs? Or the people of Cleveland?” For the third time. in little more than a year, Cleveland’s voters have spoken. Whether the city remains mired in political confrontation and fiscal crisis now depends less on the personal peculiarities of Kucinich than on whether big business and big government will be willing to heed the voices of those in inner cities who so often subsidize, and so seldom share, the benefits of their wealth and power. at 3 Stores :tore %.■» revolt,” dispelled enough cynicism among Cleveland voters to have them approve a major tax increase, after turning Order Your College Ring * politics, Kucinich-style. has not led to the disasters so often (predicted, but to some accomplishments that have eluded less acerbic politicians RING DAYS Bald -Ellicott -S suicide himself uire �by Tom Batt a Ukrainian's backyard, well, he ultimately thinks that’s a pretty good idea better than a trip to the Gulag.

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

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

In his recent trip to confer with Mexican President over oil supplies and U.S. immigration policies, President Carter may have used continuing American participation in the paraquat program as “a bargaining point High Times magazine reports that, whatever President Carter may have gotten in return, the two countries have agreed to continue their bilateral spraying of Mexican marijuana fields. The magazine quotes an “American cultural attache” as saying “The paraquat program may have become a bargaining point for Carter” during the February summit in Mexico. White House press secretary Jody Powell acknowledged the paraquat known as Operation Condor -i was discussed. The program discussion, he said, centered on new kinds of “markers” for paraquat-treated marijuana that might find its way into the U.S. The herbicide’s health and environmental effects were not included in the bargaining. The Mexicans were reportedly “shocked” and “outraged that the U.S. would consider ending Operation Condor. (CPS) I J J Discount Price Mens & ladies Pull on Boots | ‘9 off Reg.

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

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

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

It is not often that experienced Administrators slip and blurt out their gut feelings. The real stands on any issue are usually carefully implied by the speaker and must be just as carefully inferred by the listener. This is especially true on sensitive topics such as Presidential evaluation procedures. At the February 6 Faculty Senate meeting, University President Robert Ketter, in a rare loss of coolness and poise, insisted on a seemingly minor change in the wording of the Senate’s Presidential Evaluation Procedures committee report.

In addition to detailing the timetable for re-appointment, the report recommended a formal faculty survey that would ask dozens of questions on Ketter’s performance. This would mark a significant departure from the process used by Senate Chairman Gilbert Moore in 1974 when Ketter was re-appointed.

The current evaluation procedure, adopted in December 1973, requires that each SUNY President be reevaluated every five years. University President Robert L. Ketter, reaffirmed by that procedure in 1974, may seek reaffirmation again. Twenty presidents have won reaffirmation under the new procedure, while one elected to retire, Downey said.

In other words. Presidential review is largely in the hands of the Chairman, with advice from the faculty at-large.

Some are specific in scope and statement is: “Considering all factors, 1 some are very general.

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

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

In addition, as far as I understand it, the students have been exposed only to one side’s view. The Spectrum views. 1 believe the Student Senate is not given chance to defend itself. The new SA Senate the referendum is less proposal on representative than the present Senate.

There are ten senators elected from this task force. It’s no wonder that crucial issues are so rarely discussed by the. Senate. My present term of office is the only exposure I’ve had with SA, so 1 had no preconceived notions. 1 went in with an open mind. The Senate’s actions Have closed my mind to them to a large extent.

Hade Director SA Academic Affairs The Senate: crisis proportions To the Editor. you are correct in your Well Shah Sinkewicz admission that neofascism is on the rise. This situation smells more like a Watergate, ft ended by the tearing down of a President, and now its time for us to tear down oiir student senate. You are in office to represent the interests of all of us 25,000 students here at U.B., not the minority of yourselves. This has been a year of crisis, and the senate, as it currently stands has been unwilling to address the important issues. It should be joined forces with the President and The Spectrum fighting for the rights of the students, fighting against the tuition hike (too late), fighting, the implementation of the Springer report, and God knows what else. Instead, we fend about the Senate invalidating rulings made by the SWJ, and passing weak, crummy motions to dissolve The Spectrum. I see nothing wrong with another newspaper on this University. A little competition might help to clean some of the editorializing out of the news in The Spectrum. But to dissolve The Spectrum is a NO-NO. 1 voted for the referendum because it is the only choice for a rational, responsible student to do. To get rid of the real problem, and cfean up before any new problems of crisis proportion appear before the eyes of the students here at U.B. — not This is the real question behing whether you vote for or agianst the referendum to restructure the Senate. There are three (3) possible answers; Either you agree with the Senate’s actions fe.g., that it would be best if the SA Executive branch. Judicial branch SWJ and The Specrturn were dissolved or stripped of any authority), and feel you have been adequately represented; or You believe that the actions the Senate has taken are not in your best interest or those of the - general undergraduate student body; or You’re not sure whether the Senate has acted in your best interest or not becuase there may exist Schwartz < Con: Represented You?

Question 3 bears a bit more opposed tp the referendum have made this then primary argument. Bob Sinkcwicz goes so far as to write that “Neo-Fascism is on the rise” and “it is like living under the Shah of Iran”. The claiip is that the Senate does many good things, it’s just that no one learns of these actions due to a Jay Rosen-Karl Schwartz conspiracy. The proponents of this theory, however, have failed to lift the veil of secrecy The Spectrum and the SA Executive Committee have so expertly kept on all of these good deeds. This failure comes despite being provided all the space in The Spectrum they have requested to present their constituency To exclude the majority of the students who members of the Senate because only members of the SA clubs are eligible to be elected by clubs' presidents is unfair. “What will, in effect, probably happen will be that the entire Senate will be made up of the' presidents of clubs. Is that a more Patrick representative form of government? Young question. ( The Spectrum , March 9, ’79). The elimination of Senate Finance committee which functions “to prepare budgets for the (the SA allocation of the student activities fee Constitution Book of Rule, Article VI, Section I, Al), will greatly increase the Executive Committee’s Power. A majority of the Executive Committee is appointed by The Spectrum with due of process its endorsement. To vote no on this referendum! js to vote no to The Spectrum history of dictatorship in the student - want to be “ — ” ... government; vote no perspective in a complete, uncensored fashion. Additionally, Bob says in his guest opinion of 3/7/79 that the charge that the Senate “reflects negatively on the Undergraduate Students” is not legitimate, “since only through The Spectrum. . are students informed and it is therefore The Spectrum who is responsible for this negative portrayal.” This line of reasoning would then lead one to condemn the Washington Post for not finding a way to positively report on Watergate. The solution of these “conspiracy theorists” has been to abolish The Spectrum and form a new newspaper to be run primarily by current Senators. -Presumably, this would foil the conspirators and finally enable everyone to see the truth virtues of the Senate. The fact that the government would be directly controlling the media is evidently not a concern to for a secret plebicite! GSHawan Suliawan InternationalAffairs Coordinator . the Senate. In the light of these facts, the conspiracy theory becomes easier to evaluate. It seems that placing credence in this conspiracy notion is dubious at best. However, if you do believe it your decision is easy vote “no” on the referendum and keep the Senate working to bust this megalomaniacal conspiracy. In any event, the decision rests where it properly belongs, with the student body although not for long if the Senate has its way. Read The Minutes ■‘••The Senate has failed to address virtually every issue vital to the University. These issues include the General Education plan. Springer Implementation, a centralized student union and the DUE Heal Sciences split, just to mention a few. We urge any student to scan the minutes of this year’s Senate meeting to verify our claim. We anticipate that you will be very — — discouraged! Go to the forums. Talk to different Senators. Ask a Senator what Springer is. Ask a Senator what General Education means. Ask a Senator who John Peradotto' is. Ask a Senator what Parcel B is. Ask a Senator what the Senate has accomplished this year. The Senate has accomplished nothing. Absolutely nothing, Zero. At its last meeting, motions were passed to: Require all referenda (regardless of student support) to be cleared through the Senate; Limit the power to amend the Constitution soley to the Senate. Obviously, dangerously, the Senate feels the student body has no right to alter its own Constitution. Unfortunately for Senate supporters, “neo-facist” conspirator Karl Scwartz vetoed both these pieces of progressive legislation. But the Senate will have a chance if the referendum fails to override those vetoes at their next meeting. So vote now while you still have the opportunity.

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

The last time I saw Jay he was in Boston, hanging out with some student friends in a dumpy little apartment off of Common Wealth Avenue. He showed me the dope then. A garbage bag full. He was going to zoom it up to Alberta where the stuff goes for $100 an ounce, more if you hitch up to the Northwest Territories. He had made six thousand so far and this excursion was aiming to bring in two thousand more. But he didn’t get the money. The Royal Mounted Canadian Police swiped the dope (and the backpack that surrounded it), and Jay landed in front of a foreign court bent on severely punishing him as a smuggler and drug trafficker.

It was a special day; were allowed to see prisoners their girlfriends, if they had any. Jay and I were led out to a long narrow patio with concrete walls so high that light only shone in during the late morning and early afternoon. We sat on plastic lawnchaits.

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

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

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

"Sure, I'm not stupid. The most cash that's ever on hand is only four or five hundred dollars and where am I gonna go on that kind of money?" I asked Al if he had any hobbies. "I read mostly.

But he admits that for those who stop a minute to think, it has a rather low place on the social totem pole.

"What is. it about this job that can get you so depressed?"' "It's more than the. job itself that can get ya depressed, it's got more to do with the person that's doin' the job.

His surroundings are almost too sparse. While many gas stations specialize in mechanical work, AHs sole responsibility at this station is to pump gas. Inside, a work desk faces the window. In an open drawer, I found a stack of Playboy's. There's a cigarette and candy machine ahd a shelf are stacked cans of motor Oil. Of course, there's a portable radio blasting from a corner shelf. The radio is the pump jockey's constant companion. Every station I entered had one. of other attendants. "Everyone gets depressed with their job once in awhile," Al philosophized. "What ya need is a goal to work towards. What depresses me most about this job is bein' here six days a week. I get by by gettin crazy on the job and gettin into what I'm doin.

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

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

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

I DOlSAY BEERg ■ SAY BULL! pm �i CJ1 Suicide third ranked death cause among college youth by Tom Derham Dr. Ari Kiev, clinical associate professor of PuMic Interest News Services psychiarty at the Cornell University Medical College In 1977, a Cornell University Albany sophomore walked to the edge of the gorge and peered down. Seconds later, he jumped the 100 feet to his death. Last year, a female at SUNY-Binghamton took an overdose of barbiturates and locked herself in a car in a secluded area. She had been a frequent visitor to the counseling center on campus before her death. A 17-year-old Michigan freshman killed himself by lying on the tracks in front of a moving train. He had complained about difficulties in college. It is estimated that 1,000 college students make serious suicide attempts every year in the United States and more than 250 succeed. The figures are only approximate because colleges often classify suicides as “accidents,” not necessarily to cover up the tragedy but because they just don’t know. The National Center for Health Statistics reports that the suicide rate among Americans aged 15-24 has doubled in the past decade. Suicide accounts for one out of ten deaths in that age group, and now ranks third behind accidents and homicides as a killer of young Americans. The Center also reports that male suicide rates progressively climb with aging while female rates peak at the 45-54 age group. The rate is greater among men than women in all age groups. — — - - Bankruptcy fears in New York City and the author of The Suicidal Patient said that the rate for college students tends to be higher than that for non-college adults of the same age. Also, 19 percent of college sophomores reported serious suicidal toughts, compared to the four percent of freshmen who reported such thoughts. Kiev suspects; the rate is so high because “college students are under more pressure in a competitive environment, possess a lower furstration tolerance associated with habits of television, have a greater emphasis on gratification and have less training in the postponement of gratification." , Kiev also attributes the increased rate to “the widespread use of drugs which reduces resistance to acting on impulses, and this holds for marijuana and not just hard drugs.” Suicidal symptoms However, noted university psychologists have said that students who attempt suicide do not really want to kill themselves. They are depressed a is suicidal and all want to do major symptom they escape the depression, it; “Until the moment that the bullet or barbiturate finally snuffs out life’s last breath, the suicidal person wants desperately to live. He is begging to be saved.” Dr. Kiev said the suicidal person “just doesn’t — — want to be distressed. It’s not so much seeking death as it is avoiding pain.” “If in a top-notch setting, there, is a denial of suicide as a problem,” Kiev said, “then at student health services, where psychiatric and psychological programs tend not to be given as much prominence as they should, suicide is going to be given even less. “Universities have to realize that they are dealing with young adults at the most critical, transitional and stressful periods of their lives. Yet, the schools seem to take an ostrich posture and ignore suicide,” he said. Counseling programs Some college have opened walk-in counseling services for students, provided 24-hour mental health hotlines, and established services in dormitories and classrooms. But all these programs cost money a lot of money and these services are hit first when the colleges institute financial cutbacks. The psychological counseling programs in many units of the City University of New York (CUNY) have almost been wiped out by fiscal, cutbacks. Queens College, for one, is now left with two people to handle its 19,000 students. Dr. Bernard Branson, a psychological consultant at Queens, said his department’s services were “shafted” because of the state cutback of money. “We used to have a good staff and we were always busy,” he said. “Now, students can’t get in right away so they don’t come in at all.” * — — quelled Erie GOP gains eight week reprieve on bank arrears by Joel DiMarco City The Editor Erie County Republican organization was unexpectedly from the possibility of bankruptcy Thursday afternoon rescued and given eight weeks to gets its financial act together. Under an agreement with Marine Midland Bank, which two weeks' ago demanded “forthwith” payment of $236,253 owed the bank by the GOP, the bank will defer filing a civil lawsuit , to recover the debt. In return, “We have submitted a plan to officials at Marine that outlines the steps we intend to take to become current and remain current in Qur obligations,” announced Paul Willax, chairman of the party’s Finance Committee. The bank’s unexpected decision was announced at a press conference- in Republican Headquarters located in the Statler Hilton Hotel. Less than 48 hours before, Marine officials had warned Victor Farley, the GOP county chairman, that the bank was going to proceed with its lawsuit. Neither Farley nor Willax could offer an explanation for the reprieve and officials at Marine Midland declined comment. The debt of $236,253 is only part of the $627,000 the party owes Iqcal banks.

While M&T did not call in its notes, one other bank did: Manufacturer’s Hanover to which the GOP owes 14,000. Willax said that Manufacturer’s Hanover has also agreed to give the party more time to solve its financial problems but did not say how much more time. Immediate support Thursday’s N agreements have quelled a financial crisis which many Republican party leaders and other political observes had predicted would end in bankruptcy for the eounty GOP. But the party’s state and national committee’s came to the immediate support of the local GOP and urged Marine to at least delay the lawsuit. Most of this support came in the form of negotiations between Chairman Republican State Bernard Kilbourn, Congressman Jack Kemp, State Comptroller Edward Regan and officials of Marine Midland. The exact nature and details of these negotiations has not been made public. Under the agreement with Marine, the party must make up more than $23,000 in past due payments, stay current in its furture monthly payments and collect enough funds to operate its headquarters in the black. In order to live up to this agreement, Farley said that the GOP would sponsor numerous fund . raisers which will include a number of .Orlando,Florida during the break April 7 14th for only *275.00 . . . - fft Includes: Quad rooms at Sheraton Air flight / Tickets to Disney World Wet’n Wild, Daytona and Sea World INTERESTED?

I Previously Farley had said that it would be difficult to get people to come to such fund raisers since “people say ‘why should we pay money if it will only go to the banks?”’, But Farley said on Thursday that this problem would be overcome under the new arrangement with Marine since the party would be able to keep “at least” 50 percent of the money collected from »ny one fund ra|ser,. “If every Republican in the county donated one dollar, we’d ’ have $185,000,” declared Chairman Farley. “Now is the time for all good men and women to come to the aid of their party.” �<0 *■» intramural Phenol-barbs and Flying Circus ready to clash in finals by Thomas Madejski Spectrum Staff Writer A complete season of total game domination will boil down to a single 40 minutes of play for the red-hot intramural basketball A League Phenol-barbs and Flying Circus, when they meet in the all-important finals. Both teams advanced due to Thursday evening victories at Sweet Home High School. With only 15 seconds remaining in overtime, the score deadlocked at 70 points a piece. Phenol-barbs’ Mark Golubow ripped the ball away from an opposing No Name player and whipped it back up court to a teammate who fed the back to Golubow on a two-on-one break. The confident ball forward drove toward the basket, easily sinking the game winner to advance the Phenol-barbs to Sunday’s 3 p.m. championship game in Clark Hall. Golubow dominated the game with his outside precise shooting and outstanding playmaking in what proved to be a hardfought battle between two evenly matched teams. No The Names won the opening tip and took a quick 4-0 lead off of baskets by Dunbar Smith and Olin Mack. However instead of becoming comatose, the Phenol-barbs knotted the score and then tobk the lead when forward Kevin Kulick converted a rebound into two points.

While Siegel claimed he wasn’t able to identify “on the spot” which proposed new buildings should be modified or eliminated to save money, he suggested as a feasible alternative, the redesign of single purpose buildings, to make them multi-program accommodations. “The problem is unequal facilities if everything Ls to be built by 1984.

John Bray, director of corporate relations at the U/B Foundation. The Corporate Alliance was established to strengthen ties between business institutions and U/B.s educational facilities. Corporate gifts are applied as “seed money” for academic research, special library acquisitions and support of acabemic awards for both students and faculty. “The University appreciates the support of Ashland Oil and other corporations and institutions,” Mr. Bray said. “Corporate support for higher education is an investment beneficial to both.” — $ maintained. One of the best When students questioned why Stony Brook received $19 million in funds for replacement of “temporary” dental school facilities, Siegel explained that Stony Brook construction is “slightly mpre attractive” because it relates to “revenue producing investment.” “Nevertheless,” he maintained, “we want this University UB to be one of the best in the country." - - Siegel confronted students’ expected attacks on the State for its limited SUNY budget, which they felt spiralled into the need for a tuition hike. “Personally,” he claimed, “I’m opposed to the increase. I feel the basic needs of the students have not been met.” He maintained, however, that a large chunk of the increased revenue would go to Amherst Construction. Student Association President Karl Schwartz argued that the State has continually shifted tuition funds from reserves intended for construction to foot regular operating costs in the past. Siegel countered with the “compromise” offered by Assembly Speaker Stanley Fink which stipulates that if students themselves specifically members of the Student Association of the State University (SASU) can “specify alternative reductions within or without the University budget, they will gain support of the majority of the legislature” to perhaps persuade the SUNY Board of Trustees to reconsider its decision. In an interview with the Courier Express prior to his visit Thursday morning, Siegel said, “We in the Assembly have resisted it (a tuitiqn hike). We don’t want it. . . I’ll advise them (students) to focus their attention on the Senate. If the Senate goes along, 1 think we’ll go along (with a budget increase).” - — alliance 1000 gift Six pounds.. through and* made a mint.

The proposed Constitutional amendment is being challenged in the Student-Wide Judiciary (SWJ) by two other senators. , According to the current SA Constitution, 25 of the 46 Senators are chosen from the three SA Task Forces — Student Affairs, Academic of those people were Affairs and Student Activities and elected by as few as four voters, according to Bob Lowry, one of the seven Senate supporters of the restructuring. A student is required to attend two consecutive Task Force meetings, Lowry explained, to become a voting member and then is eligible to be elected into the Senate by the Task Force. “I think it’s sort of ridiculous that a Senator could be elected by four people,” Lowry remarked. Lowry said the six Senators’ action was taken to remove a “do nothing Senate” and replace it with one that would again fight for student interests. Joining Lowry in support of the amendment are Mike Cantwell, Gary Devin, Christine Weckerle, Brian Mikolan and Rona _ ,. Martin. A joke Martin criticized the Senate for being unfamiliar with parliamentary procedure, causing most meetings to be lengthy and confusing. “They come and they don’t know what a Senate meeting is,” she commented. Mikolan said the length of the meetings, often up to five hours, deters student involvement. An average of approximately 25 senators attends each meeting. “I’m so-frustrated,” Martin revealed. “I don’t want the Senate to be a joke. I waht to accomplish things at the meetings.” Lowry too was critical of the Senate’s alleged inaction. He called the current senators “miracle workers,” saying, “Anytime they work, it’s a miracle." Lowry claimed the Senate has abandoned its responsibilities, choosing instead to attack The Spectrum and the SA Executive Committee and ignore academic issues. Twice this year the Senate has voted to dissolve The Spectrum and replace it with a paper to be run mostly by SA senators. On several occasions, the Senate has voted to delay last November’s SA elections, defying the power of the-SWJ. “It’s amazing that so many people can believe something that’s so out of touch with reality,” Lowry commented. Lack of unity Martin lashed out at the internal hostility that has tom the Senate apart. “The racial split is ridiculous,” she said. “We’re not trying to make enemies,” A veteran of student government, Martin admitted she is embarassed by the lack of unity she said has prevented the Senate from functioning usefully. Should students vote to dissolve the Senate, many of the current senators would lose their positions, although some may seek reappointment. Lowry said his group is willing to lose their posts to restore power to SA, “It’s like cutting off an arm to save the body,” he said. A few of the six Senators decided only recently to back the restructuring, Mikolan said the Senate’s refusal to recognize the Gay Liberation Front as a legitimate minority group was the last straw for him. “It’s a totally self oriented bias,” he commented. Lowry charged that many of the Senators are concerned mostly with the budgetary allocations their particular groups get from SA. The SA Constitution Committee has been working on a totally new document which should be ready in about two weeks, Lowry said. The Constitution faces evaluation by the Senate either a new restructured Senate or the current one and then must win approval by a student referendum. Lowry expressed doubt that the current Senate would favor the soon-to-be proposed Constitution. Asked how the current Senators would react to the dissolution of their organization, Mikolan smiled, “They’ll probably meet anyway and declare it invalid.” - — Although expressing “enthusiastic support” for the concept of general education, Lee in a Feb. 27 letter to Carver, strongly objected to several key portions of the recently-released plan, calling it “unacceptable” to the Newton Carver, Faculty Senate Chairman Suggested posiible change of requirements Engineering faculty. Carver, in a March 6 response, noted that approval of the proposal will create a mechanism to address many of Lee’s concerns. Carver disagreed with Lee’s contention that the proposal is weighted too heavily toward the liberal arts, saying instead that he considers it an attempt to “restore a proper balance between science and The trading of letters between Lee and Carver may be only the first such exchange between proponents of General Education and officials of Engineering, along with other professional schools, who feel that Gen Ed’s additional requirements will strain student schedules that are already tightly structured. Lee outlined for Carver the minimum requirements I • nPf • | » Irnpicrncn Lotion — t t _ OT 1Pn tO Acknowledging that any sound engineering program must necessarily include social sciences and humanities, humanities.” The fate of the General Education Program could well be 41 Tuesday’s Faculty"Senate Meeting. On the other determined iTy / hand, its fate may drag on for months. Over one week ago, the Faculty Senate’s Executive voted to forward the proposed General Education Committee firrniHP report to the entire Senate for approval, after first changing the implementation date from Fall 1979 to Fall 1980. The Committee also recommended the Senate dissolve into a “Committee of the Whole.” Committee of the Whole is effectively just a name change, I ,lle Se nate will constitute the new Committee. The since V advantage of the move, according to Faculty Senate Chariman Newton Carver, is that it provides “double exposure” to the report. The Committee of the Who|e can amend the document itself, and, when ready, vote to forward-the report to the Senate. The Committe will then rename itself the Senate and re-evaluate the report. | SA S»n»tor 'Any firm they work, it't s miracle' Lee concluded with the pledge: “If our University is. serious about the challenge and opportunity to develop real general education programs, I would be most delighted to cooperate and participate.” Carver noted that the full Faculty Senate is the place to address many of Lee’s questions and urged the Dean to attend this Tuesday’s meeting, where the plan will be discussed. —continued on page 2— Once the proposal is back before the Senate, it can be viewed in total form and further amended, said Carver. If the Senate approves the proposal, (The Senate could possibly vote to send it back to the drawing broad, or to the General Education Committee, for revision,) it is forwarded to President Robert L. Ketter and ultimately to Vice President for Academic Affaris Ronald Bunn and Vice President of Health Sciences Carter Pannill. Carver said he “remained quite open” to what will happen at the Special Senate meeting on Tuesday, but noted that the report caused “tension at the Executive" Committee, and the issues probably haven’t cooled.” Carver said that while the Senate meeting is open to everyone, only ,Senators and members of the General Education Committe will be allowed to speak. However, said Carver', if any faculty member wished to discuss his views on GeneralEducation before the Senate, he should consult with Carver beforehand. Inside: Senate ‘invalidates’ referendum— P. 2/ ‘Rocky’ campus nixed—P.4 / Regarding the referendum—P. 7/ Basketball reflections—P. 20 �| Engineering Dean -1 >T f.~ 1f*\ t T that it will shift acknowledged philosophy professor enroDments toward the humanities; “and properly so.” General education could provide incentive for certain departments in the humanities to develop new courses that may even satisfy science requirements, the Chairman -*• ■ - —continual from page t— ... The Chairman pointed out that, if. Engineering students were required to take only those courses mandated by accrediting bodies, they would have more than enough credits left to complete the General Education program. Only when the requirements of Engineering departments are added to student schedules does the problem ot fitting in Gen Ed arise. Carver noted. These additional requirements, Carver wrote, “are not to be taken lightly; but it is not clear that they must automatically be given such a high precedence that they wipe out the General Education requirements adopted for undergraduates at this institution." Discussion, Carver said, should center around possible adjustments in three categories: the General Education program; Engineering requirements; and “the norm-for completing a degree in four years.” Carver said that Lee's desire for a Gen Ed program that would allow students to concentrate some study in a nbn-major area cuts against General Education’s devotion to academic breadth. New courses He also noted that the proposed plan allows units such as Engineering to develop a special core program for its students, subject to approval by the continuing General Education Committee (which he called one of the plan’s “outstanding strengths”) Finally, addressing Lee’s concern for general education’s emphasis on the liberal arts, Carver a - wrote. “Coupled with an increasing narrowness in the intellectual range of Our graduates goes a drastic imbalance in enrollment,” Carver wrote. General education, he said, could provide budgetary incentive for certain departments in the humanities to develop new courses that may even such as a philosophy course satisfy science requirements on twentieth century physics. - “1 believe,” Carver concluded, “that it is perfectly appropriate foe the Faculty Senate to adopt programs which will redistribute enrollments towards humanities, just as it was appropriate ten years ago to allow a special admissions program for Engineering.” Gen Ed Chairman believes new Increases its own power attitudes necessary for success Senate rules current referendum is invalid Pronouns, or at least the use of them at this University, may be the “key” to a successful General Education program, says History Professor Norman Baker, Chairman of the General Education Committee. Baker thinks that before a workable, meaningful program can be assembled, a “collective we” must float through discussions about General Education as a grammatical acknowledgement that the program is a University-wide responsibility and not a task that “they” must assume. Baker will present the Committee’s plan to the full Faculty Senate at a special meeting Match 13. The Committee's report was examined by the Senate Executive Committee last week and amended to remove plans for a fall 1979 implementation of Phase I. That phase would have Introduced a nevdt distribution requirement for freshmen eleven courses in six, wide-ranging “knowledge areas.” With the pressure now off for some type of prop-am ready in the fall, the Gen Ed Committee, with guidance from the Senate, should be able to integrate some of what was to be Phase II into the new Phase I, Baker said.

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

Senators request SWJ halts today’s student referendum Attempting to halt the Student Association’s referendum to restructure the Student (SA) Senate, two Senators have asked the Student Wide Judiciary (SWJ) to grant a temporary restraining order which would effectively stop the elections until “reasonable” publicizing of the referendum and the dissemination of information takes place. The student court heard the case Thursday night, too late for the decision to be published in today’s The Spectrum. The two Senators, Bob Sinkewicz and Gunawan Suliawan claim that “irrepairable harm” will be caused to the undergraduate population, which started and therefore the referendum Wednesday and is due to be finished today should be halted. In their request to SWJ, Sinkewicz and Suliawan state, “This referendum will disenfranchise students.

However, a Springer sub-committee, which is currently investigating .the philosophical problems of allowing courses which deviate upward from the three-credit norm, could void the Wednesday recommendation. Another vote, made in conjunction with a February 28 Curriculum Committee decision, unanimously denied offering English 221/222, 231/232, and 2,41/242 courses for four'credits.

The clause allows that a student with 88 credits (two courses behind normal progress) who would have had to carry five courses per semester in his or her senior year year to graduate prior to Springer will need only one additional course, instead of four, and thus still be able to complete the degree within a year.

Alfreda has long played a conservative-populist tune. Even when not campaigning she kept a busy speaking schedule at American Legion Posts, Holy Name Societies and conservative political meetings warning parents that their power over schools was being grabbed by bureaucrats in Albany and Washington. She also exposed waste and corruption in government and urged a return to “law and order”, respect for “authority”, and stricter discipline in schools. Any right-winger could be proud of Alfreda’s record of opposing “subversives” and communists. During protests here in the Spring of 1970 she sought to stop SDS members from passing out leaflets at Bullalo high schools and helped raise a storm of criticism against the storefront College A and University policy in general. In 1964 Alfreda asked the State Education Commissioner to deny tenure to two Buffalo teachers with alleged Communist Party connections. She claimed their loyalty oaths were not legally on valid. Alfreda even did a 14-month stint with the CIA in Washington during the early fifties. “It was very interesting work” she recalled, “no two days were the same.” If she hadn’t returned to Buffalo to marry she might have stayed, she said. She worked at the Polish desk because of her fluency in that language. Doing what? I’d better not say,” she said. Home-grown But Alfreda is not an “insider.” She is not the hot-house product of powerful interests but a home-grown political phenomemon. She has been a true maverick and built a constituency among voters who identify with her defiant postures. Even in her own party she is an outsider. “I was excluded and never consulted. It’s as if I don’t exist” she says. She claims that if she had been endorsed for mayor in 1973 she would “have won hands down.” She says an unreleased GOP poll showed her Editor-in-Chief election Our Store Managers' earnings include a share of the store's profits.

Alfreda blames her exclusion on “the money people” and the “Regan-ites” (Supporters of former County Exective Edward V. Regan). “They can’t control me, don’t you see that? That’s been the factor, then and now,” she claims. shunned by her party, Alfreda has offered little in return except the threat of costly and divisive primaries. “I don’t think I’ve ever had a party identity,” she admits.

That is why we have urged students to Attend Senate meetings for themselves and why we have openly acknowledged that The Spectrum is no longer a detached observer in this controversy.

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

Lee's suggestion that Engineering students should be allowed to structure an informal "minor" in areas like Economics shows an alarijiing ignorance or perhaps avoidance of the very foundation of General Education: intellectual breadth and exposure to many knowledge areas. Unhappily, Lee has begun what ought to be a carefully reasoned debate on General Education in a recklessly extreme fashion; and has wasted no time in firing the first volley in a war over enrollments a war that can only plunge the discussion into the very infighting that helped create the fragmented, incoherent undergraduate program we find ourselves with. Garver should be commended for his well-stated attempt to steer the debate back on its proper track. General Education, as Garver pointed out, may require a rethinking of Engineering's devotion to major requirements and technical training. It may also shift enrollments back to the liberal arts, not as a CARE package for the hungry humanities, but as a reflection of a changing attitude about education an attitude Lee does not appear ready to share. , •a Is ‘cow’look fashionable?

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

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

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

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

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

Kate and Anna McGarrigle have opted for the former but have produced the latter. And so has Herbie Hancock with jazz. It sure seemed like the Bastard Americans were winning the battle Friday night. And most of the crowd loved it. I'm not saying Tosh has become a worthless hypocrite because he uses funk and rock to move for success. The implicit message was there, politics and drugs, some sort of socialism without nihilism. But the consternation that comes with this sort of ambivalence, this sort of irony of music and message, let the reggae idea appear shaky. Everyone in Tosh’s band seemed to emulate some white artist (who got his from some black artist) much of the time. Tosh was Mick Jagger, keyboardist Keith Sterling was an upfront McCartney on electric keyboards with a monopolizing sound on "I’m The Toughest” (probably like McCartney on Mike McGear’s record). Guitarist Mao Chung and some white guy drew out intricate riffs like David Lindley’s drama on "Load Out/Stay.” Really, there’s nothing wrong with influence even if it’s emulation. Any singer who's creative wants to borrow from all mediums and gets a tingling excitement when he thinks he’s discovered a workable fusion. Tosh just became too involved in rock ‘n roll, that’s all. What’s good about this sudden 0\tertk&i'ing immersion is that it’ll probably be ephemeral because it’s so flagrant. Exuma and the Obeah men Perpetually holding a cigar-sized joint ‘tween his fingers like a cigarette, Tosh got the crowd dancing with the songs "Legalize It” and “Bush Doctor,” topics most young folks can appreciate the "importance” of. They understand Tosh’s fear and hope while fervently screaming appreciation. But when he sings of being an African, even if one hails from Jamaica since birth, the lauding was lessened. People swayed to the music, the beat, not to the mindful words. I wished foreign politics and fun would mix; they should on some level; they didn’t Friday night, despite Tosh’s wonderful, eloquent voice which enunciated the lyrics perfectly. But this was stunted by an the sound marched Trom left to right inadequate speaker system speaker towards the set’s end, sort of a speaker goosestep. See, everything comes alive in rock, specially for romantics. The even-handed playing of openers Exuma and the Obeah Men was better than Tosh’s, though their melodies weren’t as Ijstenable. The simple outfit of two percussionists and a guitar might seem meager at first glance, yet they provided calypso-like energy. With songs like “Rushing Through The Crowd,” “Mardi Gras Star" and “Mama Lie, Papa Lie," they both laughed and cried at their obvious misfortunes. Exuma, looking like Sun Ra, picked chords like he was caressing eighth that quickly and with passion. With "Africa, Land notes on strings Of The Lion,” they built to a sweaty climax with this regional song, singing acapella, making lion and hyena roars. Guttural but precise. Exuma and his men picked up percussion instruments and a homemade horn to move through the audience for communication’s sake. It was almost a Mardi Gras feeling. Overall, the trio played hard, breaking guitar strings and drum sticks, missing a few notes but never losing the energy which made them so likable. As for Tosh, I remember a song he didn’t sing "Maga Dog" done the mid ’60s. It was only underlyingly political: "Jump in the frying in pan, bound to fall in the f&e.” Better subliminal than overt. The overt becomes obnoxious, even boring. — CONTACT LENSES • Politics and romance - - �"H ate r -*■ »• ■%-m. mam J?* mm* - I * i m. w. * �Peer advisors to serve as link between students, DUE staff by Mitch Stenger Spectrum Staff Writer * * ""**■' **• ' YOUTH IS OUR CONCERN Die PIARISTS The Piarists are a Catholic Order of priests and brothers who dedicate their lives to educate the young.

But Blatt maintained relationship is that not such a precluded. When a student’s personal records are required, the peer advisor must refer the student to a professional advisor since such matters are kept confidential. Blatt noted that much of the work performed by peer advisors will be in referring students to the appropriate source.

However, they will help students provide with scheduling and career information. “For example,” Healy said, “a prospective English major could examine the job market for that through Since many questions posed to peer advisors will only require quick responses, DUE advisors are hoping to establish student advisor locations. One possible site is a table in Norton Hall bn the Amherst Campus. Another possibility is to have the Ask Desk currently located in the DUE office in Squire Hall and manned by professional staff turned over to student advisors. Such an arrangement would offer students a choice between professional or peer counseling. Blatt and Mealy also expect peer advisors to help incoming freshmen adjust to the academic areas of the University during summer orientation programs.

The wild card in the deck may be the new-bom Right To Life Party whose endorsement Alfreda would like. “All 1 want is a line on the ballot,” says Alfreda who is fully aware that even if she loses to Rutkowski she could end up on the Right To Life Party line, in November. In that event, the two major-party candidates would face a maverick candidate with a strong personal following who would be running on the ticket of a one-issue party which has inspired fanatical support.

The exchange took place some weeks ago, as groups on both sides of the issue gathered in Washington to express their opinions about the 1973 Supreme Court decision legalizing abortion.

It happened in Illinois. A doctor, regularly performing abortions, was approached and pressured by an anti-abortion group to stop doing so. Their initial attempt at moral suasion failed, so they returned. Again they failed. They then increased the pressure, but failed once again. Finally, to drive home their point once and for all, impelled by fervid moral conviction and a firm will to prevail, they took bold and decisive action: they poisoned the man’s dog. It may seem bigoted and unjust to employ such an example, but what better way to illustrate how fervancy can sometimes grow into fanaticism, and how constructive intentions can easily degenerate into disastrous results?

The moral fatigue setting in points up just how emotional a subject abortion is and how, as an issue almost crackling with divisive electricity,”!t promises to be with us for a long, long time. The arguments, on their surface, are simple and seemingly antithetical: anti-abortionists say that a fetus is a child, i.e., person, from the moment of conception; pro-abortionists say the fetus is not a person until it can exist independently outside the womb. Pro-abortionists argue further that, beyond the issue of “personhood vs. non-personhood,” (a question on which no one but the Almighty could possibly establish a consensus) there is the woman’s well being to consider. This “mother issue” is, judging from their literature, something anti-abortionists seem to relegate to a distant second in importance. The question of fetal personhood aside (for the argument inevitably reduces to a contest between utter irreconcilables) why should abortion be legal? First and foremost, if abortion is illegal, women die. They die from illegal abortions, self-induced or otherwise. They die because they become desperate, because they need an abortion, and they inside the uterus, affectively aborts the fertilized egg by preventing it from implanting itself in the uterine wall, there are serious questions as to their future legality if a Right to Life Amendment were to pass.

As the 1977-78 Mens basketball season drew to a close, it became increasingly evident that a coaching change would occur at the University ofBuffalo. After weeks of speculation, the UB Athletic Department reached a decision, appointing veteran Fredonia coach Bill Hughes as the new Bulls’ mentor. A native of Dallas, Texas, Hughes has left his coaching mark at various levels; from high school in Illinois to NCAA Division I at the University of Florida, where he was an assistant. Hughes became a student of the controlled offense at Florida where he learned the secrets of the “four-game delay" an offensive tactic patented by University of North Carolina's Dean Smith. Hughes enjoyed marked success at Fredonia after budding a leaving Florida, program that was ranked at the top of Division III in New York Slate. With his inaugural season at UB behind him, Hughes agreed to a lengthy interview reflecting on his season at UB as well as his deliberate style of coaching. In the first segment of a two-part series, Hughes evaluates the 1978-79 Bulls as well as his philosophy. - When 1 was a senior at Greenville College (Illinois), 1 thought at the time that talent had very little to do with the success of vour team. I thought that you could go with players who couldn’t do much right and still make them winners. I thought that coaching was about 70 percent of the' success degree. I went pn and coached in high school and revised that theory after I didn’t have any talent, thinking maybe you do need some talent out there. I got to the point where I thought it was about 6040. Then after ten years of college coaching, 1 thought it was at least 50-50. It boils down to what the player does on the floor. You take a team like Niagara University. Now, I’m not trying to take shots at Niagara coach Dan Raskin over there, but you take a group of talent like* that and give it to five different coaches. There will probably be two of them that will get something out of them. And then there will be one or two that wfll do an adequate job and they’ll win some. One of the five will probably really screw them up. The Bulls recently completed the season with a 7-18 won-lost record. Seven wins was one better than the previous season, but most importantly, a marked improvement of team play began to be evidenced in the latter portion of the campaign ' We wanted to stop ourselves from getting blown out. That happened only four times, when we were blown out by more than 20 points. But that’s four out of 25. That means in 21 other ballgames we were winning or being somewhat competitive. That was the first thing we tried to do. Under the circumstances, being totally new and having a bunch of new players, we were weak in some areas. We didn’t really think we were going to blow this schedule out. Secondly, we saw progress, mainly in those kind of intangible areas; like getting places on time, doing what you’re told and demonstrating positive attitude. We won seven and lost nine in the last 16 games. I think personally we should have won another game or two. I wish we had. But on the other hand, at least we made some improvement at the end of the year. Our guys were beginning to believe and see what we were trying to do would pay off. The plays, the offense we were running, would pay off if they’d just do it. A classic example is the trouble we had eatly in the year with the presses. We didn’t have much trouble at the end of the year. It was simply that we leltned over the course of the year to handle the press better. At least nine out of 10 times they (strategies) are the right things that should have been tried. They didn’t work because the players didn’t execute. Just like in the “four-comer delay game.” Now when Dean Smith first tried that crazy game, well, every time they’d lose, everyone jumped all over him saying “Smith blew another one.” Everytime he’d win, they’d say he ATTENTION MALES >100 per month extra money I don’t feel,like 1 know Nate Bouie very well. I’m not sure what the secret is to Nate. 1 look at him and I see his body, his jumping ability, his hands, his timing. He’s tall, he’s strong and he’s got the physical tools to be a super player. Then I think that he’s played for three different coaches (Bouie has played for Buffalo two years and Brockport for one) and it’s probable that everyone has told him something different. He’s probably confused by that. Tony’s a very mature kind df individual. He’s probably the most dedicated kid that we've got. If you could pick one kid that really wants to win in the worst way, that’s Tony. Everybody says they want to win, but Tony is willing to do more to do it.” The season stretches from the middle of fall to the tail end of winter. Tempers may flare, and a team’s success may suffer. If a player is not playing well, the very first place he looks is the coaches. “The coach is messing It’s very difficult for a me up player to say “I’m blowing ifc” It’s a lot easier to look around and find an excuse. You can show them game films and stats; you can sit there for hours and they’ll come up with an excuse. A classic is when we sat in the office the last week that Rodney McDaniel was with us and we watched the films of the Canisius game. There was one particular play when Rodney brought the ball down and (Mark) Sacha was on the other side. Rodney was getting a little pressure and he Hughes did nor settle into his until position officially September, although he was appointed late last spring. As a result, his recruiting was limited and acquaintance with his players came rather late. I’m a firm believer in not starting the season until October 15. The season is so long anyway, 1 don’t want anybody getting tired and worn out in the middle of February when games are coming up every other day. Besides, the mental fatigue of the season is really tough. Basketball has years. Buffalo dropped from Division I to III, and its appeal to the player and coach has left something to be desired.

I do not think that’s true about Fredonia. In part two, the discussion turns to the Buffalo press coverage of UB basketball, as well as the recruiting trials one must face while attempting to rebuild a dry basketball program. 200,000 seals will be slaughtered on Sunday, March 11 in Newfoundland.

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

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

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

Siegel’s visit com* at a special time for students, since the battle against a tuition hike now hinges totally on a legislative leadership. According to Karl Schwartz, Student Association President, SUNY student leaders from across the State gathered in Albany this weekend and heard Stanley Fink (D.-Brooklyn), Speaker of the Assembly, tell them he would support a bill adding $9.1 million to the SUNY budget if students could obtain a majority of the a assembly’s signatures on petition.

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

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

This year, according to MacArthur, DOB told the Foundation that a for payment “University Governance” was no longer necessary since the Executive budget would foot the bill. However, the State increased their portion of the overhead recoveries by $600,000, from $1.8 to $2.4 million. “In effect,” MacArthur said, “we are still paying for the University Governance, but now we pay indirectly.” — - The Spectrum was stymied in After this starts the dependency on alcohol that characterizes an alcoholic." It is at this point that students start to miss forget classes, about homework and drink during the day, Andrew said. A current rise in the use of alcohol by young people has been evinced. UB seems to be part of this nation-wide trend. Only 29 percent of the respondents to Thorner’s survey had not been drunk since school started in September. According to Thomer, "A substantial number of students appear to get drunk at least once a weak with beer being the most common beverage consumed.” Contributing conditions Why are more students drinking? The answer is unclear and complicated. Thomer sees the social acceptability of alcohol as a contributing factor to its surging use and abuse. Easy access to alcohol on campus, at places such as the Pub and drinking parties run by student organizations, have added to the availability of alcohol and thus the potential for problematic developments. Other conditions at UB contribute to excessive drinking. Thorner names such things as “an environment lacking in collegiality ...” and the need to relieve tension produced by the University’s competitive inhospitable atmosphere. Students drink mostly for social reasons. It is a release, a good time. Of the students questioned about 45 percent said they drink with the intention of getting drunk. Thomer warns that “drinking to get drunk is one of thd early warning signs of future alcoholism.” “There are many Researcher finds social acceptability a cause of surging alcoholism Students turn to booze as scholastic soother campus problems associated with alcohol abuse:‘false fire alarms, criminal mischief, harassment, disorderly conduct and destruction of property,’* says University Thomer.

Unchanged since 1969, the student mandatory fee is set by students at each SUNY institution. The hike to $80 originally requested ’by the Student Association of the State University (SASU) represents the limit to which students7 may be charged. The rationale behind the increase request, according to the SASU President Steve Allinger, was based upon the assumption that “inflation has eaten away at the quality of student programming.

That department then adds its remarks to the report and lists violations that should take priority. The report then travels to Facilities Planning which decides which violations should be corrected and how much money should be allocated for repairs.

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

Neither have we, at least not to any significant degree. Because of massive apathy and poor leadership, the Task Forces have, for the last few years, become bogus mechanisms for assembling a Senate and have completed few, if any, "tasks." The present SA structure is, quite simply, outdated. It assumed there will be a consistently- high degree of interest in Student Association and that a cross-section of students will be attracted to the Task Forces. In fact, the opposite has happened. Narrowly-based interest groups have jammed the Task Forces just to gain membership on the Senate, warping the original idea which was built around flimsy logic at best. The constitution itself is a confusing, poorly-conceived document that bears at least some of the blame for the annual SA chaos.

It concerns the SA Senate’s defeat of a resolution that would have designated the GLF a Minority group. At the February 26 meeting of the SA Senate a resolution which would have recognized the SA Gay Liberation Front as a Minority Group (along with such groups as the Black Student Union, PODER, etc,) was defeated. We are outraged and disgusted by this overt act of bigotry, noting in particular, that all minority senators present voted against the resolution. Minority Senator Guy Gittens was quoted as stating: “The reason why we senators voted down the resolution .. is because we feel that their gayness is by choide, whereas minority people are born with certain characteristics that make them oppressed in this country.” In effect, he, is saying that gay people choose to be oppressed by being themselves. Neither Gittens nor'anyone else can state conclusively that homosexuality is “chosen” or “inborn” and therefore his argument is totally irrevelant. We believe that the minority senators betrayed their own cause by voting against the resolution. They seemed to accept the current white establishment definitionhf a minority, i-e. any group the white majority has chosen to call a minority, and not what a minority rcaHy is. Gays qualify as a minority in many respects: 1. We compose “less than half of the total population”, with official figures showing between 5-1? as being predominantly gay. 2. We note that the courts have always used the above definition in judging the status of an organization which is in question. 3. We are openly discriminated against in housing and employment. 4. In the minds of the white majority, the terms, “nigger, chine, spic, etc,” and “faggot” all carry the same amount of bigotry and prejudice and are all used to oppress minorities. In light of the October decision by the College Council to include sexual preference in the University’s non-discrimination clause, we view the action of the SA Senate as a blatant act of discrimination and we therefore charge the Senate with violating the just laws of this University. ynless the resolution is adopted, we will take one or more of the following actions: 1. call for the withdrawal of funding of all organizations opposing the resolution. 2. bring up the matter >vith the Student Wide relishing attack for its own sake. Yes, the Senate has attempted to for "dissolve" The Spectrum. Fortunately us and for the students this newspaper has gained enough autonomy to remain unaffected by the Senate's continuing attack. Thus, the referendum's passage cannot save us from a threat that carries no weight. We — — — support the referendum for other reasons. The endlessness of the Senate's efforts to destroy obscures the total absurdity in its actions. The Senate the "representative" actually believes arm of the government student newspaper ought to be run that a with politicians replacing journalises at the helm. It actually believes that it has final, ultimate and absolute power over everything — — related to Student Association, even over constitutional questions involving itself. And it actually believes that its work 98 percent of which, we feel, has revolved around attacks on The Spectrum and the SA officers reflects what the'student body wants from its government. We cannot agree. We cannot believe the majority of students have been fooled by these pseudo-statesmen who claim to be I'/T i rfT:. f K working for the student body. We are confident that students can see through the Senate's transparent leadership and can separate genuine concern from latent self-interfest; responsible inquiry from brooding witch-hunts; and cold fact from flaming rhetoric.

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

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

This year the mandatory with waiver Student Health Insurance plan included abortion coverage. The inclusion of this coverage has since met with a vocal and vigorous opposition. This opposition was organized by a university group, the UB Right’s of Conscience Group. As soon as these opponents of the mandatory abortion coverage presented their arguments an equally ardent voice in defense of the coverage was organized. This group, the Coalition for Abortion Rights and Against Sterilization Abuse (C.A.R.A.S.A.) have defended what they term the righCof every woman to have this type of coverage. Most probably, you have all had ample opportunity to acquaint yourself with the arguments and ideas of both these groups as they have been presented time and again on these pages. Tomorrow night each of these organizations will be presenting their arguments both pro and con. I urge all UB students to attend to hear these viewpoints and to express their own.

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

But the Research Foundation required something like 62% overhead, which meant a grant total of $64,800 had to be brought in if this campus were to get the $40,000. We were cut out of eligibility by that overhead charge. As your article correctly pointed out, very little of that money comes back to this campus in any form. Very little of it seems to come back to any of the campuses in any form. A large portion of it goes to supporting the Research Foundation itself. operation now; the granting agencies.

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

The simple truth is that fhe New Right isn’t new at all. Throughout American history, there has been an ever-present and obstreperous hum of Christian conservatism. There have been many manifestations of this temptuous undercurrent: the Federalists, the Nativists, the Ku Klux Klan, the House Committee on Un-American Activities, the John Birch Society, and so on ad nauseum.

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

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

And as noted literary critic Leslie Fiedler has said on numerous occasions, “They’re all forms of storytelling,” worthy of investigation. In no other artistic medium is there a greater freedom of choice than in music, perhaps because of the rapidly escalating consumption of recorded music in America. The recording industry has blossomed into a multi-billion dollar enterprise, and just like most other hedonistic conglomerates, record companies have taken advantage of the ever market expanding Me-generation for entertainment.

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

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

The Invest in Buffalo Campaign, an associate group of the New York Public Interest Research Group (NYPIRG), is interested in the flow of money out of Buffalo resulting from mortgage redlining. The group opposes the opening of a new branch because of Western’s poor reinvestment record in the City. While Western reinvested 60 percent of its suburban deposits in small suburban family mortgages, it invested only 8.9 percent of its city deposits in similar mortgages in Buffalo. This means, NYPIRG says, that the money that Buffalo residents deposit in their bank is not flowing back into the community in which they live. m2 y^jsa deal! get tskv* % Santana, When you goto see the red-hot Santana band during their current tour, you’ll m*. get a very special bonus. \ Eddie Money!

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

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

S' The following is a run-down of the expected cost of attending UB $900 for undergraduates (representing a $150 next year: Tuition : increase for freshmen and sophomores). For the graduate programs in Medicine, Dentistry and Optometry, a $300 increase will raise annual costs to $3,300. Law School tuition is up $200 to $2,200. Room Although UB Housing Director Madison Boyce officially projects rates to remain unchanged, the Student Association of the State University (SASU) predicted Friday a $50 cost hike throughout SUNY next year. Current annual room rates per person here $850 (single), $750 (doable), $680 (triple), $600 (quad), $530 (six person room). Board A five percent increase in present rates is “optimistic,” although no “definite standing can be determined at this time,” according to University Food and Vending Service Director Donald Hosie. Current operative rates per semester are $499 (19 meals per week), $480 (14 meals per week), $409 (15 meals per week), $385 (10 meals per week). Each school within SUNY sets its own board rates. Mandatory Student Fee : -$70 annually representing no increase from the current fee. SUNY Chancellor Clifton R.

University Director of Environmental Health and Safety Robert Hunt has responded inconclusively to a February 20 letter from the New York Public Interest Research Group (NYPIRG) and Music Department Chairman William Thompson has called for an end to “timid solutions.” In a follow-up to its January 29 announcement that tiny asbestos fibers from the basement pratice room ceilings of Baird Hall were posing a health hazard, NYPIRG sent a letter to Hunt demanding action and “immediate alarm.” The Director’s seemed response, however, unrelated and noncommittal. NYPIRG called for Hunt to exercise his “unquestionable responsibility to the health and well-being of all University and community members” and eradicate “the asbestos hazard in an immediate and sufficient fashion.” To support its demands, the group relied on documented evidence of asbestos- related diseases. Hunt’s response to the demands refuted written claims brought up during the ongoing debate, but had little pertinence to NYPIRG’s correspondence. While agreeing on the necessity of ceiling replacement, Hunt disputed the reasons for the action. “It is our contention,” he said, “that for students and faculty, the condition in Baird Hall does not'constitute a health hazard as defined by scientists of Federal health agencies.” ‘No health concern’ Asbestos has been linked primarily to luiig cancer, but also to cancers of the throat, stomach, colon and rectum. Asbestosis a fibrous matting of — the lungs — requires, according to reports, higher Guest speaker Nathan Rutstein will address the of Security in a Failing World tomorrow night in Squire Hall’s Fillmore room. The presentation, which is sponsored by the Bahai Club, is free and will start at 8 p.m. problem Department on that material’s effectiveness for sound absorbtion, and some word on project funding. “I expect to hear something on finances within two weeks,” he said. “My concerns,” Hunt contended, “are that the ceilings are in bad shape and tiave to be replaced. Evidently, we’re getting help with removal; everytime 1 go there the ceilings look worse.” he said, referring to students’ response to the situation. - Expert sought Thompson remarked on the emotional influence the recent health concerns have had on department members. He said that people are refused . . “They don’t know what to think.” The faculty as a whole, Thompson explained, is intent upon speaking to an expert in asbestos dangers. “If an air sampling is suggested, we will take up a collection to have one done,” he said. Hunt, in his reply to NYPIRG, challenged the validity of air . ' samplings. Quoting a news article from the American School Board Journal Hunt stated, “Monitoring air samples to determine the risk of exposure is misleading and unreliable.” He also refered specifically to “the difficulty of getting accurate results.” ■ «■ , v Dept, of Modern Languages French Undergrad.

Sparks, professor at the School of Criminal Justice at Rutgers-Newark, Is an expert on one of the most popular crimes of the seventies. It has a lot of victims (“We are all victims”), who are bilked for staggering sums ("at least $44 billion annually”), but the perpetrators, says Sparks, are “virtually invisible.” The ttime is white-collar crime, or as Sparks terms it, “crime as business.” It takes the form of electoral fraud, tax evasion, price-fixing, unfair labor practices, industrial pollution and general corporate fraud and deception, both In the public and the private - sector. And the public pays. Sparks emphasizes. From public white collar crime, the public pays higher taxes and receives fewer services. In the private sector, Sparks says, the public is ripped off in terms of higher prices, a polluted environment, dangerous products and defrauded shareholders. The $44 billion loss estimate is conservative, Sparks adds, but that amount is already equal to eleven tiroes the amount lost by victims of burglaries, robberies, arson and similar “street crimes.” Sparks white-collar has researched crime for several —continued on pa«« I* - . ** Pmant Ad.

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

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

N Advertising Manager vX m mm —■ V.- * �Bias minimal once 'in' professional schools by John Clionna The number of women enrolled in UB’s protessional schools has increased six-fold over the past eight years (from five to 28 percent of the total number of professional students), vividly illustrating the spiralling trend of women assuming professional studies in universities across the nation. This increase reflects the ever-changing roles of women in today’s society, and women’s changing perceptions of themselves. In 1970, the\majority of women workers were secretaries, waitresses or teachers. But through the of the decade, promising fields sdch as Law, Health Sciences, Business Management and, to a lesser degree, Engineering, have been targeted by women desiring a professional course career. As more female professional students take seats in classrooms across campus, they are also forming organizations to aid women in defining their needs and concerns. Several of UB’s professional schools, including Law and Medicine, support such organizations yet they are not as well developed as that of the Management school. According to Chairperson of the Women in Management Association, Marline Buffomante, the increase in Women professionals reflects a growing awareness that alternatives to jobs in the secretarial or teaching fields do exist. Backlash Assertive and competitive behavior may foster resentment, however, when graduates try to establish themselves in male oriented fields. At UB, several seminars conducted by Women in Management have focused cm preparing womeir''for the initial shock and subsequent jolts of entering the male dominated professional world. The seminars have dealt with women in competition with men and other women, dual career marriages and how to ask Tor, and get, what you want. “Women are encountering problems in defining their own roles. Where a man is considered a woman is bossy. A man is strong but a woman is pushy,” said Buffomonte. And yet, according to most educators in professional schools here, the sex discrimination that a woman might expect to encounter once working in the professional world is not totally reflected in the schools themselves. “Dental students use the same locker room,” mused Dental School Dean, Dr. Richard Powell. He maintains that female dental students are “treated no differently,” noting that women are expected to manage transporting their own 40-pound assertive, instrument bags. Even throughout the 1970’s, dentistry has remained a predominantly male profession in the United States, as reflected in the consistently low percentage of female dental students. “Even though there aren’t very many of us, all the way around we get a pretty fair deal,” said dental student Liz Tarby, taking a moment between patients to speak to this reporter. “I haven’t experienced any discrimination as a woman in the dental program. I’m sure it’ll be worse once I’m out of school but I’m prepared for it,” she added. Specialty conflicts Medicine and Law are two schools that have experienced the greatest influx of female applicants in the 1970’s. “Buffalo has been very responsive to the idea of women entering the medical profession,” said Associate Dean of the Medical School here, Leonard Katz, citing the fact that females comprise one-third of the present medical school class. Although Katz sees “relatively few 'problems” for women within the school itself, he does admit that difficulties persist in specialty selections. “Where it used to be common for women doctors to specialize in such areas as pediatrics or internal medicine, lately more women have leaned towards surgical specialities and have encountered resistance from the older, more established male doctors,” said Katz. Law professor Grace Blumberg, who has taught here since her graduation in 197,1, maintains that UB’s Law School is not a true reflection of the total profession. “Today 1 see no blatant problems with sex discrimination within the School itself. 1 graduated from law school in a class that contained relatively few women lawyers. We were made to feel welcome then. But as Androgyny toward the'ideal' characteristics — the number of women law students increased in the 1970’s, there was some resentment among the male students. Many of them expressed feelings that the women weren’t entitled to their place in the law school.” sire said. • ( fj 114 | • • 2 -8% studies,” she related.

Yet Blumberg doesn’t feel that women received a raw deal while earning their law degrees. “From my experiences, women in law school have had fewer academic difficulties than men. I attribute some of this to the fact that women are socialized to be more flexible than men and .are able to deal with the initial shoejc of the competitiveness of law school somewhat better than men,” she said. Torn loyalties One student, a member of the Women’s Law Student Association, problems of discrimination do not lie within the school itself. “I could count on my fingers the number of instances where I’ve felt slighted by my peers because I’m a woman,” she said, adding “What I’m more concerned about is what will happen when I’m out of school. 1 have a job working for a city Court judge in Buffalo and many of is physically '"strong, courageous, objective, and unswayed by emotions other than anger. Tenderness is permissible only within the framework of husbandry. When man weeps at the grave of his beloved wife or child, others accept his right to do so but shyly turn away as if to acknowledge that even man can be weak, although he deserves privacy when his strength fails.” The stereotypical man’s role by Irene Josselyn. man — socialization by the family and molded and reinforced these stereotypical sex roles, creating a well-defined delineation between characteristics that are appropriate for males and those which are appropriate for females. According to UB Social Psychology Professor Brenda Major, “The old belief is that a highly masculine male can’t have Continual society has characteristics associated with a woman.” The new belief, one which is gaining increasing recognition, is (hat a great many people have well developed male and female personality traits. They __ ■ are androgynous. Ideal state Androgyny is not a new concept, but it has gained attention in the last four ot five years. An entirely new field of research has developed, led by Psychology researchers Sandra Bern, who defines an androgynous human as one who has a balance of masculine and feminine traits; and the team of Janet Spence and Robert Helmreich, who believe that an androgynous person is both highly masculine and by Brad Bermudez feminine. Many psychologists have hailed androgyny, the blending of masculine and feminine the school, the added pursuing a degree in pharmacy and pharmaceutics as they have in other fields. ••••••• 1 IIIUUUI - within dimension of competition between the sexes is held to a minor note. “To a great extent, most men in the program are very supportive. I’ve never seen any overt dominance of men over women.” According to School of Pharmacy Dean of Student Affairs, Kaye Flickenger, over the past few years, women have comprised half of the total Pharmacy class. “Women really haven’t encountered- the problems « 11| 11j „ that in — highly Management students’ problems to family “Many of the women in the graduate Management program are mothers who have returned to school and are torn between loyalty to their families and their pressures. “A woman is affectionate, cheerful, childish, compassionate, flatterable, gullible, yielding, gentle, and soft-spoken. She is not aggressive, ambitious, analytical, assertive or athletic. She doesn’t act like a leader, defend her own beliefs, or make decisions The stereotypical woman’s role by Sandra easily.” Bern. “A the Sheriff’s Deputies give me a hard time because I’m a woman lawyer.” Citing a median age of 26-35 for women in the graduate Management program, grad student Buffomonte traces many female roles, as the ideal personality state. Indeed, the androgynous person appears to have the most desirable characteristics of both sexes. On a personal attribute scale, devised by Spence and Helmreich, the androgynous person has the qualities of independence, competitiveness, self-confidence, and drive while at the same time is emdtionaf, gbntle, helpful tovothers and understanding. However, not all psychologistsvadmit to the desirability of being androgynous. Said Major, “Spence and Helmreich 1 don’t feel that here’s any added pressure or distinction concerning women in the School itself,” she said. Engineering lacking Yet, Flickenger does admit that students have returned after graduation and voiced concern over instances of sexual discrimination while on the job. School of Pharmacy Student Association member, Kathy Niezgoda, remarked that women in pharmacy are helping to promote the professionalism of the degree, noting “Most men are in school looking for an employable degree. However, women are there looking to educate themselves in order to enter a satisfying career. Nonetheless, I’ll still have to fight harder to make the same dollar as a male pharmacist but I’ll stick to my guns. 1 don’t intend to be hired for less.” Despite leaps and jumps in female enrollment experienced by other departments, the Engineering Department here has realized only a five percent increase in female students over the past 16 years. Engineering Dean, George Lee, was tongue-tied in efforts to explain why. “The low figures of women in the department are definitely not based on the potential abilities of the female applicants. I really can’t understand exactly why there aren’t more women in the department,” said Lee, citing an increased demand for female engineers today. see that there are psychological advantages to being androgynous but they don’t idolize the state.” Opposed to the strictly empirical research approach taken by Spence, Helmreich and Bern, are educators Alice Sargent, author of Beyond Sex Roles, and Pamela Butler, author of Self-Assertion for Women. Sargent and Bulter’s books are an entire genre of literature women who wish to become androgynous. Much of the non-empirical research on the subject has been conducted by women. It appears that females have a greater desire to become androgynous than do males, especially in light of the fact that interest in the subject roughly corresponds with the rise of the feminist movement. Said Major? “This is probably because the traditional male characteristics are valued more than traditional representative directed of to female characteristics.” Self-discovery Sargent is a proponent of role liberation of men and women. She encourages working toward a “role-free identity encompassing both male and female characteristics,” , in short, becoming androgynous. The first step in working toward this goal, according to Sargent and Butler, is discovering the self. Both professors stress that self-discovery and self-assertiveness are necessary before androgeny can occur. To abandon role inhibitions, Sargent first If I asked herself, “Since I am woman I must were a man 1 could ...” The resulting list of masculine and feminine characteristics showed a greater number of female role-related responsibilities. Major feels that her own interest in the subject is one of the reasons why she was invited to teach at UB last semester. One of her earliest studies dealt with the relationship between sex roles and the fear of success many women share. “According to my research,” she said, “the androgynous woman had the lowest fear of success.” A recent study by Major, concerning other people’s perceptions of androgens, indicated a tendency for people to prefer relationships with androgynous others. Said Major, “There is a lot of research being done by this department on the subject. One of my grad students is looking at the relationship between sex role orientations and how they conform to expectations of attractive others. Another study is being done on the relationship between sex roles and therapy situations.” She added, “Now we realize that the sex of a person is a lot less powerful in predicting behavior than the sex role of a person,” - ... �In this decade of the independent, liberated, career-oriented woman, some females are forced to defend their positions in what have been stereotyped “traditional” roles. Cheerleaders, sorority members and little sisters of fraternities are sometimes condemned for violating the spirit of the women’s movement, yet, their defenses are strong and they view theinselves as working parts in the machinery of contemporary woman’s society. President of UB’s Chi Omega sorority, Sue Cifelli, termed her group “an organization of strong individuals who just all happen to be women.” She claimed that not all of the sorority sisters want to be housewives and said for herself, “marriage is important, but not equally weighted with a career.” Cifelli defined Chi Omega as “an achievement and career-oriented sorority whose girls are very academically minded.” She said, “It pushes women to be more than just 'Traditional' female stereotypes refuted by Elena Cacavas near that with a join a sorority.” UB football and basketball cheerleader Cindy Helsant believes that sorority sisters are more “liberated” than cheerleaders. She said, “Anyway you look at it we are still cheering on the men.” While Helsant admitted that some girls who cheer do fit the stereotype of being “swtet and more interested in guys than in education,” she Argued that the majority do not. Helsant cited a difference in cheerleaders of the 1970’s. “In effect,” she said, “it is another sport today. Now, women are chosen for their physical ability.” The Buffalo Jills cheerleaders for the Bills football is a 26 member «quad of women from 18 tp 31 team years of age. Aside from cheerleading, the Jills all have housewives, secretaries, waitresses some occupation nurses, sales clerks, teachers and gymnastics instructors. Jane Delaney, a member of the Buffalo Jji]s housewife, and a former sorority sister, also considers “A whole activity, just as much as cheerleading a sport - -- JU 10 foot ... football.” Delaney claimed that stereotyping only exists when the Jills are in costume and regarded it as ill-founded, “l or me, it is an escape from my daily routine. In that respect, it’s a liberation,” she said, adding however, “In school, 1 didn’t cheer and I think I treated those girls differently.” “I think cheerleading is good for the women’s movement,” Delaney continued. “It is another aspect of women in sports,” she said and then queried, “What’s the difference between cheerleading and baseball?” The Jill also pointed out that cheerleading was around years ago, before women were very active in athletics. pole.” Although she maintained that one cannot connect sororities with cheerleading associations, saying, “The whole reason for being together in each is different” Cifelli agreed that both groups fall prey to stereotypes. — House regulations President of UB’s Alpha Sigma Alpha sorority Terry Hall claimed women today join sororities “for themselves” and tHe associations they are able to make through them. She identified a strong thread of career-orientation and explained that many functions of the group pertain to honor programs and the like. Hall said that while she hears frequent criticism of she herself is one for Tau Kappa fraternity little sisters sororities are “pretty much respected.” Epsilon (TKE) She said, “a lot of people give us credit for sticking in there.” Cifelli supported Hall’s brief and credited “the strong moral sense of the girls” with allowing sororities to resist the reforms of the 1960’s. Chi Omega sister Laurie Atwood, while claiming that she personally wants to be a housewife, reported that most sorority women are career-minded. “We are not in college to leam how to keep house,” she explained, yet added, “I don’t think a girl among us would like to go through life Blonde and brainless Considering the relation between the cheerleaders and those they cheer, Helsant defended the former’s by referring to independence and that of sororities fraternity little sisters. “I was asked to be a little sister for TKE, but I didn’t want to be a complement to the guys,” she said, claiming that everything done by the “sisters” is for the fraternity. Another TKE sister Marla Greene, however, claimed she has never received criticism for her role. She said that girls she knows join “for the Tun of it and to meet new people.” While Hall agreed that being a little sister has many social benefits, she said she receives a lot of “flack She explained, “The girls in my sorority think the boys should do things for themselves.” Hall is also UB’s 1978 Homecoming Queen. She said this role was the only one she truly believed was stereotyped. “People meet me as 1 am and then find out my title. Then they say, “You have too many brains to be a Homecoming Queen,” she recounted. Hall said people expect her to be “blonde and brainless” because of the — - — — Atwood remarked that, in part, being “liberated” means having the right to choose one’s sex life and mode of living. She said that while regulations exist within the single.” Citing a theme in the Chi Omega song, “To be womanly always,” Atwood said she senses that today, women in general are afraid to be openly feminist. “1 think many people view that as too masculine,” she said. Atwood alsoisaid she believes the majority of her sorority sorority house no men above the first floor level, for example not all choose to live there. “Libbers say we’re afraid of men, that our values are Victorian. Some of the — — sisters have chosen to live this way,” she admitted. ‘Wholesome activity’ In defending the sororities sisters are “afraid” of radical feminists because of the bluntness that is felt to accompany the character. against being stereotyped a with cheerleading associations, Atwood herself used More news, more often W > - boy-crazy,” Although some sorority women are either oblivious to criticism or resentful of it, Cifelli said she understands its roots. She said when she was at Oswego College, she saw sororities there that “fulfilled all the stereotypes.” Describing an immature, purely fun-loving group she added, “I wouldn't have gone stereotype. “We can’t be grouped together,” she said. “Not all of us care-to jump around, not all of us are bui'* 0 jump around.

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

The book stands as a stark anomaly to the suppression, — — crusade, promoting subservience to men at a method of obtaining love and undying affection from husbands. Happy marriage is the destination; male domination is the route. The fable is entitled The Total Woman and its author, one Marabel Morgan, stands as the symbol of the anti-movement. The hard working career woman who cooks TV dinners and shares burdens of financing, bringing up children, planning and most of all thinking is a sure bet for a marital miss, not wedded bliss. The woman’s place is in the home, Morgan relates, or more specifically in the kitchen when she has to be, in the bedroom when he wants her to be. thousands women have followed have been revived. The message is love him and he will love you. While this may open some eyes, the methods suggested may prompt some women to gouge Morgan’s out. When she speaks of male domination, she means it.

The titles of the chapters should give ..some indication of the character and fiber of The Total Woman (or was if The ■ Totaled Woman).

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

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

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

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

Preventive health programs, usch as those with nutrition and exercise themes, are relatively low-cost compared to drugs and surgical procedures and they can be provided by low-paid workers, like nurse practitioners and dieticians. Doctors have viewed this trend with alarm, claiming that they cannot function effectively while being monitored, Howe noted. the U.S. are women working under doctors’ orders, new developments such as the trained intermediary role of the nurse practitioner adult and the health care in primary professionalization of the registered nurse, signify the increasing stature of women in the health field. One nurse practitioner stated that the potential for women’s power within the system “is a touchy political problem. We’re assessing and managing our own groups of patients now,” she explained. “This is radically different from the historical view of the nurse as a hand maiden,” Harry Sultz, Acting workers in - - Chairman of Adjunct Health Kducation here, noted, “There’s still a lot of resistence to the idea of having nurse practitioners. Many physicians do not accept the whole concept.” On an individual and group basis, healthy women have seized control of their bodies through breast __and pelvic self examinations, menstrual extractions, and natural healing and birth control methods. Norse Towle feels-that any person who has sufficiently informed themselves on the subject, through reading and study, can diagnose common ailments and perform routine examinations and procedures. * * * * During a typical appointment at the Feminist’s Women’s Health Clinic in Los Angeles, one of 30 in the U.S., a group of six patients meet with a female physician and two health workers.

Presently, women’s health groups probably represent the most widespread health referral system outside the health establishment and their concerns have become more vocal since the inception of the National Women’s Health Lobby in Washington, D.C. But as of late, activists have felt trapped and frustrated by the feeling that they are, in effect, only removing the burden from the larger system, allowing it to operate that much more efficiently.

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

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

Still, these women don’t go out of their way to promote their “sisters” unless they happen to be personal friends. Ronstadt’s promotion of Carly Simon is an example. Of course, women who don’t fit into this slave mold can be found, but they’re the exception rather than the rule. Definitely not mainstream, Patti Smith’s true individualism is to be respected. There’s Bonnie Raitt, who can hold her own in both Rock and Roll and Rhythm and Blues. There’s Bette Midler, less popular now since she’s become a bit less “formula” and “trashy” (apparently women who can see themselves with a touch of humor are always appreciated). Be it humor or some other passion, these powerful Women are able to influence any sort of movement through efforts of creativity, stuff you can think the stuff theories about and enjoy, too are made of. - — - ... - - ... — Local feminist groups Offers courses, presentations and activities Women’s Studies College, 831-3405 by and about women.

It is not surprising that their song lyrics often play up to the male ego. For example, take Carly Simon’s “Slave”: “However much*I tell myself that I’m strong and free and brave/l’m just another woman/raised to be a slave.” Slave or not, and slave to what, one wonders to what extent women at the top have opened doors for other female folk. Granted, companies wanted more Carly audience looks up to her upon the stage? But whether Ann doesn’t mean what she sings is basically irrelevant, the image of sex fantasy is as blatant as the Forties treatment of women in comic books. All rock is comic caricaturi anyway, but men and women believe too much of the game is real: that’s the problem. If the image of women in male recorded songs has improved at all over the last few years, it’s hard to believe. Though it is difficult to realize the actual meaning of a sons when you’re bopping up and down you’ll enjoying it, try it sometime you’ll find it disconcerting. Women are still put down, put on pedestals, taken for Examples would granted, taken to bed be superflous. Sexism abounds. All in all, the picture is rather depressing with regard to genuine non plastic women making music relevant to their sex. But, as Kat Bush says: “Like it or not, we keep because we’re woman.” bouncing back song which has no central place or thing in particular will appeal to the masses and sell more,records. Therefore, Donna Summers’ “Love To Love You” will have more power to increase her status as a singer than would Kate Bush’s “Wuthering Heights.” Of course, there is the other side of the coin. Try, for example, Bonnie Pointer’s “Free Me From My Freedom”, “Tie me to a tree, handcuff me In Rock,.there are the Wilson sisters of Heart. They, too, are just instruments for macho songs about “magic, heartless, men”.

Many of these songstresses are just pretty faces, women with excellent voices who can really deliver, but who never develop much of an identity. But at least they’re there. Some song lyrics in this genre are freer and more liberated. The fact of identity is a polar thing. You can believe that personality does not pave the way for the listener to believe what he wants about a song’s lyrics. But the problem with that is ephemerality, funk over form, you might say.

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

Since it& inception, the College has achieved a reputation of national prestige and is a glowing beacon in the world of academic feminism, having offered nearly 30 different courses thus far and serving-approximately 500 students per semester. The College’s curriculum aims to cultivate women’s perspectives, to generate and evaluate feminist theory and methods of feminist analysis, to give clarity and organization to existing data on women, to encourage research in new and neglected areas, and finally, according to a College spokeswoman, to make this knowledge available to both university and community women. The formation of WSC in the spring-of 1971 was the result of the intermingling of the Buffalo Woman’s Liberation Movement with faculty, students and community members here. Due to the success of its first offering. Women in Contemporary Society still the experimental and the most popular course at the College innovative idea of an entire feminist college was conceived., for example); skills in the past denied to women (such as women’s auto mechanics); and feminist approaches to traditional disciplines, including a course entitled Psychology of Women. “People can usually find at least part of what we stand for in their interest,” noted Carr.

In response, WSC leaders and a large male and female student following declared that restriction of these courses was necessary in order for women to open up and discuss various issues. The presence of men in the class would pose prohibitive pressures, they insisted. Finally the College capitulated to the Administration. Group responsibility The College’s underlying ideology is laced with the notion of However, courses such as Women in Contemporary Society and Poetry Workshops strongly discourage male participation. “You collectivity.

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

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

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

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

However, men are not permitted to make committee decisions or to head any groups. “Men give feedback into organizational decisions,” she explained, “but all leadership is in the hands of women.” Albrecht stated that a local.chapter of WOAVAW is now under consideration. The Rochester chapter, explained Albrecht, has set up a patrol group which monitors certain dangerous streets and has managed to prevent all rapes in the area. A larger “Take Back the Night” march will occur in New York City’s Times Square this fall, reported Lynn Campbell, East Coast Coordinator for Women Against Violence in Pornography in Media Campbell was instrumental in organizing a similaC and tremendously successful San Francisco march last November. A national conference of the group was held in San Francisco prior to the march. “This was the first time feminists came together to talk about pornography,” said Campbell. Prominent feminist novelist Susan Brownmiller (Against Our Will ) and poet-essayist Adrienne Rich attended this meeting, and then joined the 50,000 women in marching through San Francisco’s “Porno” district, “it was such a success," enthused Campbell, “that east coast women also wanted to do it.” As for New York City’s march, a “massive action” on trashy, smut-filled Times Square is hoped for, to the tune of 20,000 participants. “Too small a number would be swallowed up by the »v hugeness of Times Square,” Campbell said. Traditionally, she asserted, Right Wing moralists have seen pornography as evil, owing to the suggestion that sex is bad. Left Wing libefals ave viewed pornography as sexual liberation, she added. However, declared Campbell, “This is a feminist issue which has nothing to do with either of these things.” “It affects the lives of all women. Crime on the streets is directly related to pornography and to violent and degrading images of women in media,” she added. A musical revue based on i from . the of Implementation Springer report is expected to the increase demand for introductory level courses, especially among upperclassmen. Graduate Student AsAssociation Bergstein’s committee can either wait until pre-registration to get a cclearer picture of course demand, or attempt to identify the more popular courses now.

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

All I have is the evidence and no 1 repeat, no highrpriced, big-named social critic to present it. In any event.. Here’s what’s happening: newspapers are in trouble. The hometown, family-owned paper can’t cut it financially. Huge, homogenizing media companies are swallowing up these casualties by the dozens. The typical American city has become a one-newspaper town. Less than three percent of the markets across the nation can read independent, competing dailies (Buffalo and New York are two'of the lucky ones). Meanwhile, television continues to lure away readership. The response has been to make the paper more compatible with the tube, so that maybe it will be read during the commercials. Fluffy, puffy, non-political, feature material such as “living” and “people” sections is driving hard news and news analysis from the pages.

The individual mentioned earlier who expressed regret that commuters were not more involved, at least realized that dorm student participation was an important part in making commuters feel welcome Most do not. As a final note, I would like to add there it one alternative for those commuters who are not fortunate enough to know Wilkeson residents with backgammon sets or numbers of peanut butter sandwiches and that is to join one of the Colleges. Joining a Cojlege can give one a place to go, people to talk, to and a sense of belongitlg to the University. UB can hopefully be more than an oversized high school for all of us. large Cathy Cozzarelli exllo^n — Editor-in-Chiaf Copy, A dorm student I had just been intrdduced to (he offered to show me his fish), commented that a major fault of this University is that the commuters are “lazy;” that they attend classes and go gleefully home to Mom and Fido for the rest of the day. So many residents suffer under the delusion that commuters actually enjoy this daily migration homeward. But when it comes down to it, what choice do we have? Admittedly, it would be entirely enjoyable to be able to feel a part of the student scene at Ellicott or Governors, but we cannot simply show up there and hang out by the water fountains and fixe alarms. I’m sure a' commuter would feel involved in UB activities if, for example, a classmate who lived in Wilkeson called up to invite him/her over to his room to play backgammon, have recently — absurdities and DOB horror sotries to make any investigator cringe. The evidence is there, scattered across the state in mostly anecdotal form. It is long past the time to stop talking about SUNY's miseries and do something about them.

We'll take anything at this point, as long as it's action and not more welhphrased, irresolute, bellyaching. intense discussions on peanut butter sandwiches or To the Editor. problems, because they are largely someone else’s doing. Now, here’s what else is happening: The Press has fallen behind government bureaucracy and corporate America in its ability to guide popular opinion: Public relations a clever term for institutional propaganda has been so brilliantly employed that the media actually depend on it and have become, at their worst, unpaid boosters for corporate and governmental institutions and, at best, half-hearted scratchers to the surface of institutional abuse and neglect. Big advertisers are exerting more and more influence on what becomes news; and the reader, whose 20 cents doesn’t mean as much anymore, is being fed less meat and more filler, without knowing or caring about it. No publication, not a single one, that sees as one of its aims to check corporate control can obtain enough advertising to ' — — survive, as the collapse of New Times magazine last November proved. This is also happening: Daily newspapers are still dominated by crusty, more-than-middle-aged desk editors who grew up in an era when the news gathering process and the goals of that process were much different. Thus, the new breed of journalism student, who enters the profession with an eye on changing society, ofjen finds himself writing up storefront burglaries and how-to stories on making' your own wine rather than exposes on government insensitivity. The standard, facbfilled “objective” news story which hasn’t changed form in 70 years *s not only boring to readers who can dial any — *- fantasy they want on TV, but has been so brilliantly exploited by corporations and government agencies that it works mord for them than for the reader. Investigative reporting, glamorized during the Watergate era, is still in a pathetic infancy at many papers since a.) it does not sell the paper to advertisers and' b.) it is still seen as a special, rather than v regular function. by young, Attempts well-educated reporters to introduce a more lively and more literary prose to daily journalism are often stifled by visionless leadership. The Press is one of the least innovative and least critically examined institutions in the country. The Columbia Journalism Review, by far the most influential source of self-criticism in the profession, has a circulation of only twice The Spectrum's. Many newspapers are run like battle-camps, with generals making all policy and the men on the front lines thoroughly uninvolved in tactical decisions. Journalism executives don’t talk about these problems, for they are largely self-created. The result of all this is that most of journalism is far, far behind what the times demand, although the glamor-papers like the New York Timet- and Washington Post obscure the profession’s dismal standing.' With political and economic issues of real importance becoming increasingly complex, and becoming increasingly influenced by over-simplified, sloganeering special interest groups, journalism ought to be expanding its analysis and commentary on the rather than abandoning it for mushy news, “lifestyle” coverage. With television, film and their parasitic publications like the National Enquirer convincing America that what happens to celebrities like Jackie O is truly important, newspapers ought to be focusing their “people” coverage on the hacks behind institutional walls who hold the real power. With television and radio news beating newspapers to the breaking, momentary news events (like disasters) the press ought to be examining* the underlying, constant truths about American society that do not require an “event” to be displayed. How does patronage work? How do politicians really get elected? How do corporations and bureaucracies govern themselves? How do they function on a day-to-day basis? Only a small portion of newspapers’ readership knows because newspapers are only telling smalf truths compared to the hugeness of American society. Only when the Press ends its mindless addiction to tiny specs of truth that affect and involve only a handful of .people; and opens its writing style to some innovation; and reaffirms its role as a check on governmental and corporate abuse will its future look rosey, from these eyes. Now, if I can only find some famous big-mouth who agrees with me. �1- feedback doymondaymondaymondayir To the Editor. To the Editor: threat I received (although admittedly not totally < unconcerned) and I do not wish to create an issue where one should not exist. Nevertheless, I do feel it is.important that the University community be made aware that at least one person has attempted to exert leverage within Student Association through the use of intimidation. No amount of speculation-or reverie on The Spectrum intent in printing my statements will change the fact that the incident did hhappen. 22, 1979/Reggie On February me those words I attributed to him in The Spectrum February 26. This incident did occur. 1 have signed a sworn statement ta this effect. I would not perjure mySelf, nor do I have the indecency to libel another human being, regardless of any apparent or non-apparent justification. Quite frankly I war not too concerned about the 3 Early last week every UB student received a § letter from the group “Rights of Conscience.” The 2 issue addressed was abortion coverage in the student Jf health insurance plan offered by a student oi corporation. § - Rights of Conscience opposes the plan “because |, it forces students who have moral, religious, and philosophical objections to sacrifice these in order to participate in the plan.” Claiming it “it not ‘pro-life*, not is it ‘pro-choice’," the group p “leave(s) the issue Karl Schwartz of abortion to the larger society.” Consideration of their argument Peonistic racism confused. My thinking essentially Your Feb. 26 of The Spectrum most “bogus.” The article, “student petitioner declares S.A. Senator threat” constitutes slander not only on the part of senators but also the Black Student Union and all of its constituents. To actually stipluate that two of our members (not senators which is what they are) threatened S.A. President Karl Schwartz and student petitioner David Hoffman is the most peonistic form of racism I have yet to see you (jay rosen) and The Spectrum deliver. 'Besides the fact that you (jay rosen) felt obligated to write the article yourself implies that John D.

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

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

They can't blow up, but they can overheat and melt." Such an overheating would occur in the event of a water leak within the reactor. Water, acting as a cooling agent, surrounds the uranium fuel rods in the 30-foot deep well where fission reactions take place. Orlosky said assuredly, "Even if we tost all the water from this reactor, it would still not melt because we operate at energy levels that are much lower than power reactors." Indeed, numerous precautions are taken phases of operation. Three different radiation detectors, checked periodically are planted on all persons insjde the reactor room. Persons leaving the building are first required to insert their hands m and plant their feet on a box that looks like one of those scales that hands during ail out your fortune. Glowing digits registering the radiation levels on your appendages leap into action. If the number exceeds 20 for your hands or 40 for your feet, you must wash them before leaving.

The NSTF alto provides a radioactive waste disposal service which may run into financial difficulties in the future, according to manager of the Radiation Protection Department Mark Pierro.

"Thiifyear," said Pierro, "we expect the cost to rise to $36,000 because we have to ship the wastes to South Carolina. We used to ship the wastes to the West Valley dump site and we could save thousands of dollars a year if we could still do that." The site was closed down in 1972 after frequent shutdowns, reported radiation leaks and worker contamination, and never reopened, due largely to economic concerns. Nuclear technology remains embroiled in bitter controversy with equally well founded pros and cons. But those that work in the industry like Orlosky resent public resistance.

J Call for appointment plaasa To the Editor: I guess as the old how bad don’t realize is until it involves you saying goes, you a situation personally. Through the opportunity of trying to organize a coffeehouse at this University, I have come to realize all too well the hassles and frustrations one may encounter. The coffeehouse I have mentioned took place Feb. 27 and was sponsored by the junior physical therapy class. All the proceeds were to go to the Children’s Rehabilitation Center. Things were organized smoothly with the night drawback of lack of sound equipment and publicity. So 1 talked to UUAB about the possibility of the donation of sound dquipment for “the cause.” It was made very clear to me that this was out of the question so as a class we decided to invest the S6S required. I then proceeded to The Spectrum office and requested that an announcement about the coffeehouse be placed upon the Backpage on the Friday and Monday prior to the 27th. I was emphatic that the announcement was important since! it was our main source of publicity. On Friday the announcement did not appear and remembering' what was told by the receptionist 1 figured the'feditor bad chosen nof to put it in that day. 1 was a. little' disappointed but thought it would) be in Monday to 1 wouldn’t worry. Well, when I looked at The Spectrum Backpage Monday and saw no announcement again, I was more than worried. I took this matter up with the backpage editor and all .he could say is “I don’t know why it wasn’t in. I remember seeing your request.” and “I’m sorry.” I don’t mean to belabor the point since he is only human, but “I’m sorry” just doesn’t get my announcement in the paper. Meanwhile the student head of UUAB, Matt Russo, has not gotten back to me about confirming my WSC sound system request which had been recorded in duplicate by the UUAB secretary. After three calls at which time I left my name and number for a return call which I never received, I got in touch with Mr. Russo. He confirmed the date, equipment, time, and financial matters with me at this time. So naively enough I believed that the matter was under control. The day of the coffeehouse arrived and 1 called Mr. Russo repeatedly throughout the late afternoon and evening to make sure he was aware that 1 wanted the equipment set up by 9:30 and not arriving at 9:30 since I had heard this organization was not too reliable. What 1 was to find out, (oo late unfortunately, was that “not too reliable” was a gross understatement! As one may deduce on their own, the equipment never arrived and Matt Russo was no where to be found the entire evening. The coffeehouse proceeded although Mr. Russo did a good job of almost ruining the evening. I don’t understand how such an incompetent person has been allowed to remain the student director of an organization at a university of this size. F have heard from numerous sources both within and,outside the organization that Matt Russo has previously been the cause of urtexcusable situations such as mine and will undoubtedly be the cause of them in the future.

It is true that the resignation of Dr. Lillian Robinson is a tremendous loss for this University and our programs. However, we don’t feel that the situation is as drastic as was portrayed. The Women’s Studies program on this campus is one of the oldest and largest in the country, and has a national reputation for excellence inspite of the many struggles we have had to fgce.

Secondly, we don’t expect that securing replacements for Dr. Robinson and Dr. Kennedy to be an issue. As people who were here at the time may remember,- the issue of replacements for our faculty arose during the Fall ’77 semester. The resolution of that situation resulted in a guarantee of a minimum of 3 faculty lines fo» the Women’s Studies program from the Vice-President for Academic Affairs, Ronald Bunn, and the Dean of Arts and Letters, George Levine. It was understood at that time that a program such as ours must have this minimum number of faculty to survive. for an appointment in Hayes Annex aC”,room 3 (University Placement Office, 1979 Deborah O’.

ZIP: �i Distribution options Officials oppose Dean on College course issue by Daniel S. Parker News Editor Officials of the Colleges are preparing to rebut Dean of Undergraduate Education (DUE) John Peradotto’s refusal to allow 30 College courses to be considered as distribution options available to undergraduates. of the Curriculum In two separate College meetings Thursday Committee and Colleges’ Council officials expressed their displeasure with Peradotto’s decision and discussed their response. In a brief report t(> the Council,-Acting Dean of the Colleges Claude E. Welch warned, a term used by Peradotto “It may be that the ‘silent deference’ given thus far to the issue will be stirred.” Under their proposal, the Colleges would have benefitted from increased student enrollments, greater budget assistance and a solidified academic standing in the University. Originating from the 1960’s nationwide move to liberalize education, the Colleges have always been considered an experimental a sector here and have had to continually fight for their survival battle that a few Colleges losf. Currently, College courses are allowed to offer distribution credit only if they are cross-listed with another University department. Peradotto explained that departments. Faculties and Schools here undergo interior scrutiny to which the Colleges are not subjected. He added that the University’s distribution requirement was conceived along these lines “in order to encourage exposure to disciplines more or less in their regular and faculty controlled formats . . .’’ - - - - - □ s Seniors and Grad Students A new graduate profile center MaMflouier O WAREHOUSE has been established to provide a Profile Scanning System for commission free placement consultants throughout the U S, Enter your profile into the system and expand your career opportunities Send for FREE brochure and entry form to: .-:* BUFFALO PROFESSIONALS • Move with >w Graduate Profte Center P.0 Box 271 Buffalo, N Y 14221 Buffalo MAYFLOWER • expert packing • LUCIAN C.

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

Parker Dean denies request *Lf for OliV O l distribution credit Dean of Undergraduate Education (DUE) John Peradotto, recently dubbed “Mr. University” because of his integral involvement in major academic decisions, has denied the Colleges’ request that 30 College courses be considered distribution options for undergraduates. The Colleges’ proposal could have brought them increased standing in the enrollments and a firm no longer experimental University. Peradotto’s decision may unleash severe criticism from Colleges’ officials, who declined to speak with The Spectrum until they met to discuss the matter late Thursday. Currently, College courses are only allowed distribution credit if they are cross-listed with-another department. Peradotto explained that regular departmental courses normally pass scrutiny at different levels departmental and/or Faculty or School before being forwarded to a DUE Curriculum Committee for approval. Although College courses must also be approved by the DUE committee, they are not subject to the same interior levels of scrutiny, said Peradotto. Peradotto further explained that the University’s distribution requirement was conceived along these department, Faculty and/or School lines “in order to encourage exposure to disciplines more or less in their regular and faculty controlled formats. .In his letter to Associate Dean of the Colleges Carole Petro, Peradotto commented that, “it would constitute a considerable departure from the original design to allow courses which have not passed, and do not pass scrutiny at that level (to serve as distribution requirements). - - - - > ... Scramble for enrollments Peradotto further wrote: “The claim of the Colleges that this or that course falls within the range of disciplinary lines so defined and monitored, is a mere assertion until it finds credibility through approved cross-linking.” In other words. College courses that are not cross-listed do not undergo scrutiny of their disciplinary nature, or of their instructor, course format or content; therefore they can only “attest” to their legitimacy as being worthy of distribution credit. Peradotto pointed to the underlying “paradox” facing the Colleges. The Colleges, which were established during the 1960’s nationwide effort at liberalizing education and expanding upon rigid disciplinary structures here, are, according to > the Dean, both inter-disciplinary and extra-disciplinary in nature. Peradotto wrote Petro: “If in the scramble for enrollments, the Colleges fashion themselves too rigidly in the image of departments, they lose their distinctive reasons for being. “namely that “If this sounds paradoxical,” he observed distribution credit be denied until the Colleges more closely approximate disciplinary status, and the warning that if they do so then the way out is a they lose their distinctive reason for being — DUE Dear. revision of the distribution policy Although Peradotto agreed with Acting Dean of the Colleges Claude Welch’s contention that there “has been a deliberate effort to .. News Editor - link the Colleges more closely with existing University units and programs,” the Dean asserted until the Colleges “move more closely still” then they should not be granted distribution credit under existing guidelines. Course by course However, the Dean indicated that the Faculty Senate’s c'onsideratirin of a General Education plan a move that would totally revamp current distribution guidelines and reflect a more inter-disciplinary, broader educational emphasis would give “special scrutiny” to the Colleges. He told The Spectrum, “As a general Education Plan is formed to replace existing distribution requirements, then a course by course evaluation of the Colleges will be conducted along with all University courses to evaluate their appropriateness in the General Education scheme.” — — — - The Faculty Senate, which voted Wednesday to effectively postpone implementation of a General Education Plan until Fall, 1980, declined to advise Peradotto in his determination of the fate of the Colleges’ request. The Faculty Senate set up the University-wide distribution requirements and the Colleges’ original charter as experimental, courses, inter-disciplinary in scope. Peradotto said the Senate misunderstood his request for advice, and construed it as a request to decide a decision that he acknowledged belongs to him in —- - “implementing policy.” Peradotto in his letter, stated, “Although 1 disagree with their judgement about referring this matter to the Senate, and marvel at the silent deference with which they treat a prerogative heretofore contested so vociferously and guarded so fiercely, I shall comply with what I take to be their will in the matter, assuming that if, as they look, over my shoulder, my interpretation ill serves their intent, they respond with the guidance originally requested.” will’ Clearly stated Chairman of the Faculty Senate Newton Carver told The Spectrum that Peradotto’s decision was a responsible kind of administrative action. Carver said, “Even if one would disagree with his stand, he has taken it clearly, unambiguously and given reasons.” Carver added that many things have changed sincere Senate’s original passage of distribution guidelines and “different people have varying ideas” on implementation of this policy. Carver told The Spectrum that he would distribute Peradotto’s memo to the Faculty-Senate Executive Committee and ask what they intend to do about it. The matter was not discussed at Wednesday’s Executive Committee meeting. General Ed program delayed by a Faculty-Senate decision date for implementation may stretch out the Senate’s timetable. by Kathleen McDonough Campus Editor Implementation of the General Education program proposed for Fall '*■79 has been effectively delayed until Fall 1980 by the Faculty Senate Executive Committee. In its original charge, the General University-wide Education was a report Committee instructed to prepare targeted -•for implementation. 1980 Fall But Arts and Letters Peradotto’s announcement followed Senate Faculty Chairman Newton Carver’s comments onpreviously a unmentioned effect of the General Education program shifting enrollments. “It is clear that Arts and Letters are hurting, and 1 can’t believe it’s not clear that the General Education shifts program enrollments,” Carver said. In recent years, the health — a maneuver he $aid was designed to v secure funds for economically ailing departments, Dean of sciences and professional schools Undergraduate Education (DUE) have gained in enrollments while departments, John Peradotto had pushed for many other the earlier implementation date. particularly in the faculties of “The Fall 1979 Arts and Letters and Social date implementation was a Sciences, have suffered tightening tactical move on my behalf to budgets in the face of declining focus with intensity on set enrollments. Nine out of the 13 departments, Peradotto courses required by the General announced Wednesday to the Education program fall within Executive Committee, after it had these two faculties, and thus approved a motion deleting all supply them with an infusion of r references to a September *79 students. Carver alluded to remarks he implementation from the General had heard from members of those .Education proposals. The -General Education units with higher enrollments proposal will now "go to the full suggesting the program was a Senate at a special meeting March “sour grape's device.” “It is a 13. The Executive Committee device,” but not necessarily a recommended Wednesday that a negative one, he maintained. “Committee of the Whole” be Garver said it is misleading to formed from 1 the Senate to pretend that only students are consider modifications of the influenced by .the General proposal. Although it was not Education program, noting that entirely clear Wednesday what the entire University is affected such a Committee’s charge would by enrollment figures. “It’s not a be, the elimination of the Fall *79 grubby topic,” Garver said, in ” . Inside: GOP debts—P. 5 / advocating an examination of the University’s long-term future as an undergraduate institution. Funds committed Peradotto, a member of the General Education Committee, had hoped administration, that the realizing upon that Arts and Sciences cbuld not accomodate the excess students, would itself propose the delay. In this way, he said, funds would have been committed to these units for 1980. But since the Faculty Senate Executive Committee agreed to the delay before the proposal ever reached the levels, upper Peradotto’s maneuver is unlikely to achieve the desired effect. The Dean said he still fears that “even in 1980, we will have to tailor our General Education program to the existing state and strength of programs.” University President Robert L. Ketter, who was present at the Executive Committee meeting, appeared annoyed by Peradotto’s suggestions. He said that people in this University continually refer to “resource allocation” when the retil issue is the ordering of priorities. The money is available now, Ketter said, “if we have a serious intent to do this.” Ketter, while praising the. General Education Committee’s effort and dedication, questioned the format as well as the intent of the program. He noted that General Education Programs are usually most successful in liberal This is reggae—P.

When a student requests a grade to be changed the process involved is fairly simple, explained Peradotto. He said that a student with a complaint first discusses the problem with his professor.

Over 1000 requests for grade changes were tallied that year, he said, with 60 percent coming from nine areas and 22 percent coming from four others. Peradotto noted a large scale discrepancy within University grading policies, saying, “Work that constitutes an A in one class could be worth a C in another class.” But, he added, “the biggest scandal concerning grading policy is the large volume of requests for grade changes received each year” not the variations in grading policy. In approximately 800 of the requested changes, “clerical error” — was cited as the cause for the revision. “If this figure is accurate, then this, at the very least, can be criminal neglect,” contended Peradotto.

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

He pointed to seven student supported bills passed in 1977. Malkin expects to have, by the semester’s close, spoken to'students across the State. The main purpose, he said, is to get students interested in grass roots support, to build local coalitions. Presently, NYPIRG is lobbying in several areas, including political reform citizens rights, and higher education issues. It has also come out against the tuition hike proposal.

He pledged his unqualified support to such a fund raiser and said that all of the Republican presidential hopefuls should be invited to attend. “We need a show of unity,” said Fernandez, who noted that no local Republican unit has ever before declared bankruptcy. Such aid from the national GOP may be the only thing that can save the County party.

Paul Willax, chairman of the party’s Finance Committee reported that the GOP is in arrears fivfc months on its interest and principal payments to Marine Midland and another local bank, Manufacturers & Traders Trust Co. (M&T). Farley has been chairman of the County’s 185,000 Republicans since December 2 when he the late Thomas MacKinnon and succeeded inherited the Party’s cumulative debts of $627,000. According to Willax, the GOP owes M&T Bank $250,000;. Liberty $50,00; Manufacturers Hanover $14,000 and the Citizen’s Bank of Arcade $9,000 in addition to the $236,253 owed Marine Midland. Willax said that, of these banks, only Manufacturers Hanover called in its loans. - MacKinnon, who died shortly after his retirement last year, re-negotiated the Marine Midland and M&.T bank loans more than two years ago at a low interest rate. Approximately $38000 per month is paid to both banks and the payments cover a period of almost 1 7 years. when the party has a la,rge debt, claiming “why should we contribute money to pay the banks.” Farley said that while people are sometimes willing to contribute to a particular candidate are more skeptical about contributing money to something as general as a debt. they Stigma Many party leaders feel that the OOP’s present financial difficulties could wreck any party fund-raising plans for interim Republican County Executive Edward Rutkowski. Rutkowski already faces a stiff primary election battle in September from maverick Republican County Comptroller Alfreda Slominski for the OOP’s County Executive nomination. But Rutkowski said Tuesday that he is prepared to raise his own campaign funds through a fund raising committee known as the Friends of Ed Rutkowski. The committee was organized in January with Buffalo attorney John Robshaw Jr. ‘Outrageous’ as treasurer.

Marine Midland Bank officials declined to comment in the matter. severity of the GOP organization’s financial problems until last week. He maintained that he had planned to establish this fund raising committee before the party’s financial crisis became evident. “We were planning on working in conjunction with the Republican Party,” he said. If the party is forced to declare bankruptcy, the judgemental process would take about 90 days. The party could then reform with a clean financial record but would have to carry the political stigma of bankruptcy and the possible In a Tuesday afternoon conference, Benjamin a California millionaire, member of the Executive Committee of the Republican National Committee, and a declared candidate for the presidency, proclaimed, “It is outrageous that any unit of the Republican Party is even thinking about going into bankruptcy.” Fernandez, Rutkowski said that he was unaware of the demand by businesses for immediate cash payment for materials and services rendered.

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

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

On Monday, February 26, 1979, in my rush to catch the bus, 1 grabbed a copy of The Spectrum. While on the bus 1 began reading this subjective, asinine piece of unmitigated filth; which is supposed to be the student’s voice (The Spectrum). I came upon an article which was printed in the fashion of a bulletin, on page three, which stated: “Student petitioner declares threat made by SA Senator.” After reading this piece of, reporting by Jay Rosen (Editor in Chief of The Spectrum), it confirmed my belief that The Spectrum and the SA Executive Board (specifically Karl Schwartz) are cohorts. When are we students going to end this absurd and ridiculous, sensationalists and subtle means of disposing and discrediting people that pose a threat to the regime of Schwartz and Rosen. Reggie Washington is said individual who is the victim of this sensationalism. Mr. Washington- is viewed by these two megalomaniacs' as a personal threat to their hegemony, thus giving rise to unsubstantiated innuendos: “We know where you live. If you win, we’ll come looking for you.” “Schwartz said he interpreted Washington’s comments as physical threats." Anyone that knows Reggie Washington knows these accusations are uncharacteristic of his disposition: In fny experience of Washington 1 have never seen assaulting anyone. 1 say to “the opinion against this plot by grubbing mongrels (Schwarte knowing Reggie or heard of him body, voice your these two power Rosen)/ to discredit a person that has served student interest since his matriculation at the University. - Mr. Daniel K.

Shalom.— Peter Eckstein Israel Information Center Appalled by Gittens To the Editor. We, two concerned students of this fine University, have been appalled by the words of Mr. Guy Gittens of the Black Student Union. (Letter of 2/26/79). We livere angered by Mr. Gitten’s naive and unfair definition of Zionism. According to Webster’s New First, the basics World Dictionary (Second College Edition), Zionism is defined as “a movement formerly re-establishing, now supporting the Jewish national state of Israel.” If if is not the definition in concern, but the connotation, Zionism does not exclude non-Jews. There are many non-Jews living conten tly as Zionists in Israel and elsewhere. Next, Zionism does not, by any means, discriminate against those who are not Jewish. The laws of the state of Israel may follow the ide'ologies of Jewish law but they do not exclude others. The government and businesses may . i feedback .. generally be closed on Saturday, the Jewish sabbath. The law, however, does not prohibit business transactions on this day, nor does it impose any other restrictions of this nature. The “chosen people” notion, as Mr. Gittens so eloquently put it, is a religious matter and a religious matter only. According to Jewish history, the Jews were led into Canaan by Moses, their prophet. Anything beyond this is mythical and therefore invalid. The letter went on to analogize Israel with two of the most malevolent governments in modern history. It is so preposterous a thought to make such an extreme comparison as to equate Israel with South Africa, let alone Nazi Germany. This statement alone seemed to negate all of Mr. Gittens’ previous points. David M. Harnik Ellen D. Smolinskv A few weeks ago 1 received a letter from Admissions and Records informing me that the “D” 1 received in CSU3 two semesters ago had now been changed to a “C.” Although I am pleased with the change, 1 remain puzzled by the letter’s lack of information. For example, why my grade was being changed. I also question why it should take so long (over a year) to find out that somebody “goffed” and that a letter change was necessary. This also makes me question the validity of some of my previous grades. How can I be sure that they aren’t or if the grade is worthy of being changed incorrect as a result of some computer error. If this is the standard procedure of Admissions and Records out (sending short form letters, lacking explanations), it is certainly a most inadequate - procedure. Jay Hager Chapman’s tone To the Editor As a black, female student who grew up and lived in Memphis for 24 years, I would like to comment on the “tone of voice” used by Ross Chapman in his critique of “Roots II” on February 23, 1979.

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

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

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

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

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

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

In his bar, the six friepds drink and laugh away the pressures of a job requiring a strength and patience they muster daily.

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

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

Duncan doing at the “Just Also on the faculty then was Buffalo” series of poetry readings at the Allentown Community Center? This is a question that har some tradition behind it: the poet Anselm Hollow, traveling over 60 miles by bus to read his poetry for free, stood before the small gathering of Buffalonians that had turned out for the first reading at the center and asked aloud, "What am I doing here?" only to answer, "I know what I’m doing here." Debra Daly, the organizer and driving force behind Just Buffalo answers Anselm Hollow’s question by saying that he was responding to a call. This summons to Buffalo is one heard and responded to by many of the major American poets, and by some important foreign poets as well.

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

The plot thickens i t w Jamaica. be signed to a long term As the group’s contract was finalized with Island Records, rumor had it that there were disputes among the members concerning the billing of the group. Tosh felt that by using Bob Marley and the Wailers, a name was being made for Marley alone; in addition Marley was getting credit for the songs which Tosh were actually communal efforts. The fame of Bob Marley was to mean Peter Tosh and Bunny Wailer were to remain forever in the background. Many people believe that reggae and rastafari are one and the same. This is false, although most of the popular artists are rastas. This misconception exists largely through the media hype of American recording companies. Time called Marley “a political force to rival the government.” But this isn’t likely because rastafarians (of which Bob is one) political not advocate do involvement. In spite of this, an attempt was made on Marley’s life three years ago during a free concert he performed during a time of high political tensions on the island. The style of reggae is constantly changing, reflecting the national mood. Middle class educated Jamaicans were at first skeptical of the new grassroots sounds, however, it was not long before they too capitulated and grooved to the throbbing drums and rhythmic bass guitar that is the bottom line of reggae as we know it today.

Listening carefully to Tosh’s compositions, it becomes evident that he is as skilled a writer as Marley. His first album, Legalize It, with the hit song of the same name, made waves in the music world and was banned on several Jamaican stations, mainly because of its suggestive lyrics about marijuana. With his debut album, Tosh firmly established his place in the hearts of his fans. His second album Equal Rights delivered die urgent message about the freedom fighters and the conditions in which they fought Mozambique, Angola and South Africa. This album message of delivered a revolutionary solutions to the conditions which cause economic and spiritual slavery of the black man. His recently released third album, Bush Doctor, has a revised version of "Legalize It. His new band, Word, Sound and Power, backs his urgent and direct message, affecting the conscious and sub-conscious of those who hear him. Tqsh’s analysis of the system in which he lives causes him to take an urgent stand against the forces causing spiritual and economic slavery for the peoples of African descent; peoples who have been detained illegally in the West since the Emancipation Act of 1834. Influenced by his life as a Jahrastafarian, Tosh sings “Everyone is crying out peace, none is crying out for justice. I don’t want no peace ’till my brothers get equal rights and justice. We all need equal rights and justice...” That is the essential Peter Tosh, not the mirage the press insists on painting. TOSH TOSS: Reggae artist Peter Tosh will toss the reggae beach ball to students and regular fans at State's Moot Hall Buffalo Saturday night at 8 p.m. Tosh is probably the most melodic of any of his former Waiters cohorts. His zippy tunas have almost brilliant hooks perhaps the only hops for reggae to hit the top 40 charts. What is admirable about Tosh, and reggae itself, is its political motivations, undisguised, fluid, never pretentious.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Research grants, individual mass of complicated statistics and procedures. For that reason, SUNY incorporated the Research Foundation in 1975 to handle all research related activities for SUNY. The Foundation acquires the grants for the researcher, and negotiates with the Federal Government (from where most of the grants originate) for the amount of overhead assigned to a prpjecf. The Foundation also handles all payments by the Federal agencies. Some of that money is used to finance the operation of the Foundation, some is returned to the sponsoring institution, the rest goes to the a independent that handles all research grants for the system. While the budget has yet to be passed, in all probability the figure wilFnot be altered by the State Legislature. According to the Assistant Vice-Chancellor for Research at SUNY Herbert Central MacArthur, the State’s actions are playing havoc with the Foundation and with the N SUNY, an corporation K Strange formulas state The concept of overhead, or indirect costs is equally complex. During the course of research activity, the University will pay the bills incurred during the work. the Then, after Foundation negotiates with the Federal Government, U.B. will get a slight portion of what it originally paid out back from the State. It is on that point where some U.B. say administrators that this University, and SUNY. are “shortchanged” by the state. About 13 percent of all research grant money is reserved for overhead costs utility bills, depreciating, amortization and etc. In fiscal year 1978-79, the states portion of overhead grant money amounted to $1.8 million SUNY-wide. In the coming year, the Governor’s Fxecutive Budget asks for a payment of $2.4 million from the Research Foundation of schools. MacArthur who is also a Foundation official said the Foundation has been cutting back in staff, partly because of increasing the monetary demands placed upon SUNV by the State Division of Budget (DOB). “It has been difficult to find small amounts of money for individual projects we would like to see in operation,” he said. MacArthur singled out the University program Awards which aids young professors on SUNY campuses in their first research efforts. “We have found that this program has suffered due to a lack of money," MacArthur said. MacArthur criticized the Slate for taking too much money away from SUNV and from the Foundation with DOB's unusual formulas. The State contends, MacArthur said, that since It pays the bills through the operating budgets of the individual schools, It is entitled to at least a portion of the money SUNV receives from the Federal Government. In essence, the position of the State is that the Federal government should pay for all the costs incurred from grants it approves. “We do not quibble with the State’s belief that they should have some money returned to the state coffer, we just wish they wouldn’t take so much, -continued on page 2— Resignation leaves WSC, American Studies in crisis by John H. Reiss Frustrated by consistently battling in vain to improve her programs, Associate Professor Lillian Robinson has resigned, and her departure has sent shock waves pulsing through the American Studies Program and Women’s Studies College (WSC). The loss of Robinson, who was becoming increasingly prominent in her field of women’s studies, coupled with the departure next year of Professor hlizabeth Kennedy, who will leave on sabbatical, creates a massive void in WSC and could seriously affect enrollments in American Studies. 'American Studies received half the enrollment credit for most courses taught by WSC, and a significant loss of students in American Studies will only add lo the enrollment crisis experienced by the Faculty of Arts and Letters. A worried Charles Keil, Acting CHairman of American of Robinson “decimates the Studies, claimed the Women’s Studies part of our program. It guts it.” A drawing card He explained that in addition to the prospect of an enrollment drop in WSC, there is a serious problem of keeping WSC afloat. “What’s crippling,” he said, “is the process of sustaining Women’s Studies is a terrible drain. The questions are: Can Women’s Studies College survive?; can the curriculum be maintained?; and how can American Studied sustain its enrollment strength?” Knrollment, of course, is the key question for Arts and Letters. Thti_F acuity has been experiencing a steady loss in students and as a result, will take the brunt of instructional losses as the University adjusts to the student-faculty ratios outlined in Vice President for Academic Affairs Ronald Bunn’s Academic Plan.3uffetted by its relationship with WSC, American Studies has had relatively high enrollments, and a loss in students now would only worsen an already troubling predicament. ' Keil feels that Robinson, who has been on sabbatical, would have been a good drawing card for the Women’s "Studies program upon her return. She recently finished-a book. Sex, Class and Culture, and will soon publish another book on television. “She’s very, very smart,” Keil said, “and she’s just beginning to blossom on the Inside: Trustees discuss tuition—P. 2 scene. Arts and Letters is looking lo improve its enrollments. We (American Studies) are second best in terms of enrollments and faculty and she would have been a good drawing card. Her loss will be felt that way. You publication Special lo The Spectrum / just can’t replace somebody like that." Keil said that Robinson’s departure would also hinder American Studies’ attempts to launch its Ph.l). program, Robinson has spearheaded American Studies’ efforts lo devise a successful Ph.l). program since 1973, and Keil said she would have continued to be the driving force in that endeavor. Robinson was hired on an American Studies line, but did much of her work in Womens Studies College. As “payment” for Robinson’s services, American Studies received a portion of the budget allocation generated by WSC enrollment.

She recalls the Queen’s advice to Alice in Alice in WonJvrhnd that it takes all the running one can do to stay in the same place.

Although Robinson’s criticism is sharp and cutting, and her displeasure with the University is implicit, at no point does she point to particular University officials as culprits. the proposed Ph.D. pfogram in American Studies. After reviewing the'evalualions, she claimed, “1 have since read a great many evaluations of graduate programs. Never have 1 seen one as unstinting in its praise as ours was; never have I seen a department' actually penalized for earning such praise.” The Ph.D. proposal “went nowhere,” Robinson programs and stated, and by 1976 she found herself struggling to keep the M.A. program alive. “I understand that some progress has been made,” she states, “but it comes if it comes too late to make my own efforts seem at all proportionate to the result.” Kennedy called the loss of Robinson “a terrible thing” but said her resignation became necessary because “the University was dragging its feet with the Ph.D. program.” She said Robinson was fighting to move a good program forward but that all the obstacles the University threw in her path frustrated her efforts and look away from her - A feminist environment Robinson indicates her displeasure with the atmosphere the University offers women. She claims that she left Massachusetts Institute of Technology in order to teach in UB’s feminist movement, an environment she feels has nearly vanished over her five-year tenure.

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

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

The State would not provide money for a new Amherst bookstore.” Fie added that the corporation’s project will set an example for other interested businesses. “After Follett.” Carter explained, “we will begin to merchandize the property. The bookstore is our key.” He claimed that when other corporations see someone putting up a sizeable sum of money, they will be more inclined to do the same. “The initial construction will facilitate our marketing the project locally,” said CArter. Although a completion date cannot be set, or according to Carter, even speculated on at this time, UBF should have a more definitive idea of Parcel B development after bookstore plans are finalized. “I think in two weeks we’ll be in pretty good shape,” he remarked.

The plan, proposed by Vice President for Academic Affairs Vice E. Ronald Bunn and President for Health Sciences F. Garter PanniJl, would create a Undergraduate “Council on Education” that Schwartz and Pinn say would spur “a reversion to a state of affairs within DUE in which administrative attention will be less focused, administrative leadership less prominent and administrative responsibility more widely dispersed than before.” The Council idea Is the second Bunn/Pannill plan to solve what they consider to be a gap between communication Peradolto’s office and Health Sciences. Peradotto derives his power within Academic Affairs from his immediate Bunn, superior, but his power within Health Sciences is not clearly with jurisdiction over DUE and Health advisement and Sciences, admissions policies and teaching effectiveness. The Bunn/Pannill plan proposes also an with “Administrative Officer specific responsibility for undergraduate programs in Health Sciences.

Schwartz and Finn’s solution, which significantly, is Bunn and Pannill’s alternate selection if the Council doesn’t pass, is a return to an independent DUE Dean who reports directly to the President. “This recommendation delineates clear lines of authority and eliminates bureaucratic entanglement caused by the Vice Presidents proposal,” Schwartz and Finn asserted. Ketter’s decision is The instructor, of course. And that’s one of the things that make academic writing so difficult. The college wrfter is in a difficult wntin situation or rhetorical context. You write as a student about a topi that is only recently familiar and that writing is to be read by an pwho will evaluate your knowledge, Yet that uncomfortable writing situation shares a com ture with all other communication (Moffett, 1968): a speak sender, a receiver, and a message. Usually the paper assignment helpful in locating the topic but the speaker’s voice and the audienc are left unstated. Of course, in reality it is a student writing to a instructor; however, playing around with the audience of a paper ca improve your writing. At some point in your preparation for writing a paper, imagine an audience quite different form the actual instructor-reader. An effective imaginary reader is another student who missed a month of classes. Write what you know about the topic as if that student were going to read the paper to discover the connection between your topic and what has been going on in class. You will, quite naturally, assume the voice of an informed writer. Further, you will set your topic in the context of the subject matter of your course. For example, you could write a paper on the shift from barter to money exchange one way for a course in economics; but it would be a different paper if you wrote on the same subject for a course in Roman government systems. Since your imaginary student reader is not an expert on the topic, you will probably be very clear in all your explanations. And since your audience is another student, you will be informal and conversational in your explanations. Good! It all must be revised anyhow, so write everything you know about the topic without notes. Just keep in mind your audience someone who needs to know what you know. Then revise Shift the audience back tc the instructor- Y GU win no able to keep the voice of the informed writer if you do not get intimidated by your audience. Don’t give in to the temptation to over-qualify or weaken your statements with “1 believe,” “it seems to me,” or “in my opinion.” So far you have a topic and a confident writing voice. Now, develop the instructor audience in your mind. Certainly your instructor-reader already knows what the course is about, and your reader may also be familiar with the topic you’ve chosen. Nevertheless, your reader may not have thought about it in quite the way you have. You’ve been reading recently; assume that your reader read those books years ago. Be very clear about your thinking. I find it helpful to imagine my essay as the last one in a heap of fifty papers and that a very tired person is reading it. This reader just doesn’t want to work very hard to get my meaning. This reader expects me to use the vocabulary of the discipline or course, to state the topic at the very beginning, and to support some of my statements with references to what I have read. But most of all, this reader expects me, to make sense. I If you find the shift from one audience tefanother audience is difficult, come to The Writing Place in Baldy Hall and ask the tutor to help you revise your informal essay into an academic essay.

Winston’s comments, which w'ere mailed to the local press, came as a response to Student Association (SA) Director of Student Affairs and rally organizer Scott Juisto’s November 21 letter to the NFTA. Juisto Juisto stated “It is important to stress the fact that the students assembled were in no way protesting the building of the Rapid Transit S\ stem and the rally was in no means intended to jeopardize the project and wo firmly believe it did not in any way do so."

Juisto disputed this, saying, “We had been in contact with the Governor’s campaign manager and no one knew ho was going to be late We certainly would have waited.” Winston said there were incidents of looting and that the leader of the citizen’s group, Mrs. Bunny Ross, had her toe broken by a young man “who was trying to step on the toe of a security guard missed, and stomped her foot." Juisto said he did not know of the specific incidents, but denied any “looting." Winston told The Spectrum that Ross decided not to press charges. Winston, who said he was among the men and women who lobbied, peacefully demonstrated and negotiated to have UB’s Medical School open its doors to qualified minorities in the I960’s, wrote to Juisto; “You may have won the battle with Governor Carey, but I feel you lost the war.” Juisto again disagreed, pointed to construction appropriations in Carey's Executive budget for Phase II of the Amherst gym.

Can we afford to be so far “above" all these nasty, seemingly irresolvable public conflicts that the fate of those victimized is left to those who stand to gain from continued victimization. I think not It's time we dismantled the self-serving rhetoric and classroom tokenism to take a radical look at who and what is served by our academic neutrality and debilitating insistence on professional certainly. Too often neutrality is no more than impotent silence in the face of obvious injustice. And certainty as a requirement for action surely condemns us to a particularly culpable inaction in all but the least significant areas of human life. If we subscribe to these positions and promote them at the University we are moral derelicts,we are moral derelicts. We are lost if our concern can’t be awakened until the poisons and mutagens ooze into our own backyards and basements. There is no way to remain hitman suffering without diminishing our own spirits!

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

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

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

The Sung sent an army in the I Oth and 1 11 h centuries and the Yuan under the great Kublai Khan did so in the 13th. In both cases they met defeat at the hands of the Vietnamese.

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

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

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

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

In modern times, Vietnam has actually served as the base from which the imperialistic Irench sought to penetrate Southern China. Fven more.recently, during the ese tied antagonisms it should come as no surprise that cooler heads did not prevail in the conflict. It is probably unfortunate that given the former role of the United States in the Indochinese conflict, that the current administration cannot serve as mediator in the current imbroglio. If there was ever a time we could be impartial, it would be right now. The Chinese however, did not give up their efforts to dominate Vietnam, and the Manchu dynasty made one further attempt in the 18th century. These events only describe the major engagements between the Vietnamese and the Chinese, and many other incidents marred the subsequent 900 years. Only tension-free. But during World War II, the Chinese Nationalist regime committed acts repugnant Vietnam, to as such the imprisonment of its most lamous nationalist, Ho Chi Minh. In the immediate post-World War 11 period, Chinese occupation troops pillaged a large area of Vietnamese property before returning it to the french. Chinese insecure The question is: Why is China so anxious to have Vietnam firmly under its control? The Chinese have always felt insecure about having a potentially hostile power on their southern border largely the same reasons the United States feels threatened by received lavish gilts in the form of military and economic aid to resist American aggression. The Vietnamese preferred Russian aid to Chinese tor tear of a dangerous overdepdendence on the giant to the North. The net result of the Russo-Vietnamese alliance is a frightened China which now feels a real threat on both its northern, and southern borders. For the better part of a thousand years the Vietnamese and Cambodians have been engaged in conflict, if not over territory, then over political and cultural matters. The feelings of emnity are deep and longstanding. Historically, China has used this hostility as a pretfext for its own political purposes. �Analysis TJ * % Mexican oil bonanza: How much of the black gold will go to the U.S. and will it transform a stratified society? pleased that they finally had r chance to U.S. to directly aid the poorest people in exchange views.

Mexico has proven petroleum reserves of 40 billion barrels (b.b.I.) and estimated potential reserves of 200 b.b.I. Saudi Arabia, the world’s larges producer of oil, by contrast has knowr reserves of 166 b.b.I The U.S. is, of course, the natura customer for Mexico's oil and gas. It seems that Mexico will attempt to quench our insatiable thirst for oil hut only if the II.S. is willing to negotiate on the issues of three-day visit, the agreed to continue negotiations with the goal of setting equitable gas pricing and working out trade and border problems. U.S. officials concede their talks will be touchy due to Mexico’s resentment over past U.S. insults and slights. Tire Carter Administration has angered it's southern neighbor by vetoing a deal to immigration and trade Mexican President Portillo told Carter significant increase in oil production that would overburden Mexico’s economy. In response, Mr. Carter said he understood rnexico’s need to use its oil carefully and pledged the U.S. would be a reliable customer. Approximately 90% of Mexico's oil exports go to the U.S., but this amounts only 400,000 barrels a day, or 2% of U.S. oil needs. By contrast, Iran was exporting 400,000 barrels a clay to the U.S. before exports were halted on December 26th.

In the Mexican War of 1847-48, we purchased nearly half of Mexico’s ternTory for S18.250.000. In 1920-21, nearly 100,000 Mexicans were driven from their homes in the Southwest U.S. by American vigilante groups Different spirit Even today, American investments exert considerable control over the Mexican economy. But for the first time, Mexicans feel a good deal more assertive towards their rich, northern neighbors, “We want a different spirit between the two countries, announced a high-ranking Mexican diplomat. “We want the Americans to stop thinking once and for all, that we are,just a poor, dumb little country to the south.’’ Although no important agreements emerged from President Carter's recent visit to Mexico City, both Carter and Mexican President, Lopez Portillo.^were sell natural gas to U.S. companies under prices set by Mexico and by proposing another border crackdown on illegal Mexican immigrants In 1977, six American companies had agreed to buy $2 billion in natural gas from a petroleum field near Cactus, Mexico. As negotiations neared completion Mexico had begun construction on a large, new pipe line. But Energy Chief Schlesinger vetoed the deal because Mexico’s price was higher than other suppliers. Lopez Portillo vowed to burn off the gas and the oil in the ground rathef than sell It to the U.S. Mexico is also upset about what it considers insensitive policies on illegal Mexican immigration into the U.S. As many as two million aliens cross into the U.S. each year to the anger of many in the American Southwest. In response, the Carter administration proposed building a new 27-mile long chain-link fence to combat this “silent invasion.” These immigrants, however, are not an adebatable economic problem. They are mainly productive workers who are attracted to and contribute to viable U.S. economic enterprises. Contends, Michael Pore of the Massachussetts Institute of Technology (MIT). “Illegal immigrants enable an industrial society to function by taking jobs unwanted by native workers. The S2 billion they send home to Mexico each year is the most effective way for the Wracking poverty President Portillo’s plan for gradual levelopment of petroleum reserves has been supported by responsible Mexicans. Incensed by widespread corruption, Mexicans are adament that oil revenues go towards the long term development of the nation and not into the pockets of greedy politicians and labor union chiefs. All the while Mexican leaders are all too aware of the lessons of Nigeria and Iran where rapid escalation of oil production led to political turmoil and destabelized economies. Mexico despite the new oil revenues will still face an enormous poverty problem. It is estimated that Mexico’s population of 65 million will jump to 120 million by the year 2,000. It is conceivable that an already conjested Mexico City could have a population of 25 million by the turn of the Century. To meet this rampant growth, nearly 800,000 new jobs must be created each year if the current 20% unemployment rate is to be held down. The tapping of Mexico’s vast petroleum wealth can spell a major transformation of the poverty stricken nation. It has the potential of lifting its people up from destitution, illiteracy and squalid living conditions, spawning a prosperous new land,, while at the same time providing mineral sustenance for the industrialized grant to the North. But for this wealth to trickle down to the masses, a long history of government corruption will have to be rooted out.

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

Freeman is quite possibly Buffalo’s most productive man on the court. Hven as his playing time increases, the 6’4" junior has kept his shooting percentage right around 60 percent. In addition, the forward from Baltimore has hit on 80 percent of his foul shots. Brockport will try to stop the duo Jim McMa hn and Bickens. McMahn is listed as a guard, but usually sees more action under the glass. A sharp passer, the Golden Fagle's second leading scorer tops the club in assists. Bickens is no where near the shooter of his counter-part, but at 6’5”, the Long Islander has hauled down nearly five rebounds per game The most experienced Brockport eager is center, Dennis barley. Averaging 1 1.4 rebounds and 14.5 points per game, the big man leads the team in both departments. A1 Walker is used primarily as a reserve, and makes up for any lack of talent with aggressive persuit. Another big man off the bench is freshman Greg Boggan. After being seriously injured for most of the season, the 6’5” 210-pound center is still limited in movement. He has seen little action, but has hit 51 percent of his shots. Buffalo’s guards are currently in transition, with freshman Kevin McMillian seeing more and more action. They’ll have to be wary of fouling Brockport’s point guard however; if they can find him. Only 5’7”, Stan Van Gundy has been flawless from the tree-throw line this season, ripping off 32 in a row. Going back to the previous campaign, Van G\indy hasn*’t missed in over 40 attempts.

With almost a month’s wait before the sectionals, Poland's bowlers will be taking some time off before getting into shape for the all-important nationals in Milwaukee. “I still don’t think they’ve reached their peak," the winning coach smiled, "That’s good because we don’t want to reach it until the competition is stiffer." As for the nationals. Poland is not being overly optimistic when she says: “I think we’ll win it." ,. their domination of women's bowling by sweeping the AIAW State Tournament at Hamburg's Leisure Land. Fulton consistently held either second or third position throughout the event, and finished with a 188 average The next step for the UB keglers will be the Eastern Sectionals on March 23 which will take them either to Boston or Baltimore. The nationally ranked team has a solid shot at ending their season in Milawaukee, the site of the nationals, from which coach Jane Poland thinks they will walk away with top honors. UB icers in playoffs lot of mediocre hockey players, and if we’d made up our minds to go out there and skate, we could've beaten them. If you play Elmiraxiight, I just don’t feel that they have the defense to cope with it. Besides, the fact that our pride was stepped on ( 12 times today) would give us more incentive. “Based on what Middlebury showed last year when we lost to them (7-3) in the playo’ffs namely three excellent defensemen, Elmira can’t match them 1 also don’t feel Elmira has the goaltending that Middlebury has.” the coach added. Regardless of whomever Buffalo’s opponent turns out to be, the Bulls will have to show a dramatic improvement over their showing Sunday, in order to at least threaten an upset victory. “The whole team played terrible, all the way down the line,” admitted UB’s Tom Wilde after ending the season with 31 goals, close to the UB record of 36 established by Mike Klym in the 73-74 campaign. “We weren’t hitting them at all When we hit, we play well; if we don’t hit, we’re mesmerized by the puck.” An unexpected show of humor on the part of some players might be a clue to the team’s willingness to put aside the negative begin and experience concentrating on the upcoming playoffs. “1 don’t even think it was necessary for the zamboni to continued from .. resurface tlmira’s half of the ice during intermission,” kidded UB goalie Bill Kaminska referring to his teammates’ poor show in the offensive zone, a grand total of 14 goaltender (ilen shots on Lombardi. Light side The Bulls’ Tim Igo had his own review of the team’s efforts. “We were in the ozone,” he said. Wright expressed a similar opinion, although less humorous than his center’s. “They knew the game didn’t mean anything,” the coach argued in noting that Buffalo had clinched a playoff berth before the contest began. ICE CHIPS: finishing the regular schedule with a 15-11 overall reebrd and qualifying for the playoffs, the Bulls had a good season, but according to Wright, not a great one. “We didn’t beat any of the better teams,” the coach reasoned. “But the irony is that it’s"all possible now, in the personal playoffs.” Wright went on to provide a brief outline of the major page 1 FREE CLINICS . individuals who con Tommy the successful year Wilde just had a fantastic season Bricn (irow and our scoring captain, hddic Patterson, who have been through the mill for four years, still got psyched and showed leadership to the younger kids on the team. They’re two players we’re really going to miss (they’re seniors). ‘‘Rich Mac Lean has taken charge back there. He’s going to be an outstanding college defenseman. Billy Kaminska in goal has all the tools, and he’s only going to get better with experience. The ‘green line’ (Igo. Keith Sawyer and Don Osborn) has been up and down all year, but they’re only sophomores, and they’ll get better," the coach concluded season began Sign up now for Volleyball Intramurals in Clark Hall, Room 113 between 12-3 p.m..

The phone rings. “Recreation, may I help you?. . I’m sorry, you’ll have to call back «t T2.” The office door slams shut to squelch the noise echoing through the corridor. The phone is taken off the hook. Cautiously, the door is opened at the stroke of noon. A lineup of people pours into the tiny office and the phone begins to ring. These patient souls know all too well that reservations for racquetball court time at Clark Hall are taken every day at noon, two Jays prior to playing. “By 12:04 the courts are all taken,” pointed out Director of Recreation and Intramurals Bill Monkarsh. “Everyday it’s the same.” There is no relief sighted in the near future for the recreation department. According to Monkarsh, seven or eight years will elapse before the completion of the Field House Convocation Center on the Amherst Campus. The Field House is slated for 10 racquetball courts, but this of course is subject to change 20 courts were originally planned. Clark Hall presently houses two racquetball courts and two squash courts. The squash courts are used for recquetball, but their considerable size difference makes them sub-standard. . — Stamina Perhaps the major reason for the shortage of racquetball space can be attributed to the current explosion of the sports’ popularity. One obvious reason to take up a racquet lies in the health benefits to be gained. An hour ofracquetball burns off about as many calories as an hour of running but with less tortuous effort. The players move constantly, but the limited space of the court, combined with the fact that the ball is rarely out of reach, invites the players to-push beyond their capability. In addition to weight reduction, racquetball helps to improve physical fitness by increasing stamina, conditioning the heart and developing various arm and leg muscles. Many professional athletes use the game as a method of staying in shape during the off-season; and as a means of developing better hand-eye coordination. * Origin Racquetball was derived from the game of paddleball in the early 1940’s. Fascinated by the concept of the game, one of it’s early founders, Joe Sobek of Greenwich, Connecticut, found the solid S wood paddleball racquets, to be awkward and difficult to manipulate. In 1949, 'he introduced a tennis racquet with a shortened handle as his solution to the cumbersome paddle. With this innovation, he first played what ultimately evolved into today’s game of racquetball. However, safety devices have necessarily stepped into the game, as in most action-packed sports. Precautionary measures include a rope securely attached to the handle of the racquet. In order to prevent the racquet from Hying off, the rope, or lanyard must be secured around the wrist at all times. Wooden racquets are considered dangerous to use because they don’t have “bumpers” (a plastic coating around the edges) to protect the racquet from splintering when making contact with the wall. Clubs have been known to prohibit the use of wooden racquets on their courts as a precaution for the player. These racquets also tend to damage the walls of the court because of the absence of the bumper. Eye injuries are commonplace in racquetball, and as a result, eyeguards are becoming popular. The National Racquetball Association is currently debating whether their use should be mandatory in order to reduce the number of tragedies resulting from errant racquets and zipping balls. Canada requires all junior racquetball players to wear The Rangoon Racquet Club 2805 Elmwood Avenue (near Kenmore Mercy) The unique eating S drinking establishment forRacquetball players THE PLACE TO BE BEFORE S AFTER RACQUETBALL Wednesday is Party Nile 2 Vodka drinks for $1 2 Labatts for $1 Music by TOM HOWARD For more information on partying & racquetballing call 877-9943 or 882-9565 BOULEVARD MALL Rocquctboll dub eyeguards. Ever growing A little under 10 years ago, less than 50,000 people played the sport. Today an estimated 8 to 10 million people are racquetball enthusiasts. Western New York businesses seem to have geared up in anticipation of this tremendous jump in interest^ urrently, there are five racquetball clubs in .the area and six more are planned. Each club boasts between 1500 and 2500 members; the average member age is between 25 and 35 years old. Although this sport did not really hit the east coast until the last two years, Buffalo is the home of some of the nation’s better players. “The Gar”, Charles Garfinkel, has held the New York State Championship for many years. In fact, he recently published a book. “Racquetball the Rasy Way." Another well-known name in racquetball is Bud Stange who is currently the 1979 New York State Senior’s Champion. Both are ranked nationally. So grab a racquet and off to the courts.. . if you can get one. Exciting game of racquetball can be learned for free!!!!

Reiss Millonzi also claimed that he needed more time to investigate the ramifications of the tuition Hours after agreeing it should increase. He did agree that the become a more aggressive Council could convey to the supporter of UB, the University Trustees that students here would Council refused Friday to even like to discuss the matter. “1 see vote on a resolution criticizing the no problem with that,” he said. “I proposed SUNY-wide tuition have a problem telling the Board increase. of Trustees where to go.” Instead, it passed by 5-1 a The discussion turned an watered down version of the otherwise tranquil meeting into a motion proposed by student sizzling debate between representative to the Council, proponents,' opponents and Michael Pierce, asking the SUNY compromisers of the resolution. Board of Trustees t6 hold public An exasperated Pierce rose from hearings in Buffalo to sound out his seat and, arms flailing, student opinion on the hike. The vigorously implored the Council Trustees will convene Wednesday to take a strong stand on the in Albany, and may decide then issue. He said the tuition boost whether to adopt the proposed will only bring hardships to students and likened the measure $150 increase for lower level students. If the increase is to kicking a patient in the approved, both upper and lower stomach after he has had heart level students in SUNY will be surgery Pierce vigorously denied that it required to pay $900 per year. The strongest opposition to is not the Council’s place to make Pierce’s resolution came from its feelings known to the SUNY Council member Robert Koren Trustees. “We can at least advise and Chairman Robert Millonzi. the Board of Trustees that they Koren said that not only does he do not decide things by oppose criticizing the increase, he themselves, he said. “They should might favor a tuition hike. So go to all four State University vehement was Ids opposition to centers with due process and the measure, that he employed speed.” various tactics to combat it during the debate. At one point he No justification claimed “We don’t know if it’s University President Robert going to be raised,” and later held that a Council vote “wouldn’t be Ketter explained that he argued in Albany against the increase one effective anyway.” month ago, before Governor Carey’s budget was released. “It Not our problem Millonzi, having strongly was argued then that the increase supported Student Association was needed because there could (SA) President Karl Schwartz’s be no construction without the increase,” he related. Ketter called urging p|eas that the Council be more vocal and vibrant in its this ploy “fallacious” claiming support for the University, that construction has “first call” claimed he didn’t feel it was the on all tuition money. “I didn’t see Council’s place to tell the Board any justification in terms of of Trustees what to do. “It’s not buildings,” he said. Ketter explained that the our responsibility,” he said. “It’s a amount that SUNY stands to gain thorny problem for the University Trustees. It’s not our problem; it’s from the increase S8-10 million their obligation and their duty.” is insignificant compared to the Special to The Spectrum , - system’s huge $700 million budget. He remarked that Albany could also gain the necessary funds by skimming money off other areas of the State. At no point however, did the President ever urge the Council to follow Pierce’s lead. After the meeting, Ketter told The Spectrum that he still opposes the hike, and in fact favors a decrease in tuition. He said he “felt it was appropriate that the Council come out in opposition to the increase,” but claimed that it was not his place to tell the Council what to do. Call the Attorney General After the fracas, Chairman Millonzi shot down Pierce’s resolution to censure Faculty Senate Chairman Newton Carver for denying a The Spectrum reporter entrance to a Senate meeting. Pierce feels Carver violated the spirit and intent of the State Open Meetings law by his actions. Millonzi, still fuming since last Spring when Pierce asked for and received a written opinion from former State Attorney General Louis Lefkowitz stating that the Council was a public body required to hold open meetings, said Pierce would have to go to Attorney General Robert Abrams before the Council would even consider the resolution. Millonzi claimed the council is not a public body and that Pierce was out of order. All of the fireworks occurred after SA President Schwartz urged the Council to become a more active advocate of State public higher education. Schwartz said that SUNY is declining because of a disparity in State funding between public and private universities. He asked the Council “to put pressure where it needs to be put to make this a quality institution.” He said that soaring tuition is subverting SUNY’s original goal to make higher education available to poorer —DIVIncenzo YES, BUT: Student Representative to the UB College Council Michael Pierce (above) asked the body Friday to take a more active role in supporting this University. The Council agreed, but declined to pass Pierce's motion criticizing a SUMY tuition increase. Banned in Bulgaria, banned in East Germany, banned in but banned at UB! That unhappy fate befell the Russia scheduled Inter-Residence Council (IRC) film The Devil in Miss Jones Friday night, depriving cinema-starved students of their “x-rated weekend”, as it was billed. The official order to halt the showing came from Vice President for Facilities Planning John Neal, who simply ordered the doors of Diefendorf 146 and Fillmore 170 to be closed. But JRC President Jim Paul thinks the decision was made by University President Robert L. Ketter, recently back from a vacation in Tahiti. Assistant to the President Ron Stein said use of UB facilities to screen the film would be in violation of the law. According to Stein, the movie was ruled obscene by a New York State judge, thus precluding its showing here But the attorney representing IRC, Tom Cassano, said no Supreme Court ruling has been made on the film, only preliminary determinations. Since 1974, obscenity rulings have been based on contemporary community standards, making certain movies legal in some localities and illegal in others. Cassano contends that this film, which was advertised only through fliers, was intended only for the University communtiy,and that the standards of the University should be the ones considered. Additionally, he said, the obscenity statute does npt apply to educational institutions “There is no question that during the course of a (educational) seminar, it could be shown - IRC movie banned here, University halts x-rated weekend ” Inside: Petitioner threatened—P. 3 / Iranian woes—P. 5 / students and pleaded with the Council to make a strong statement against the tuition increase. “The College Council can become more than a paper body if it takes up this role of advocacy,” Schwartz said. What specific things? The President attributed the rising attrition rate among students UB a sinking qualify of life here. He said that there is “too high a level of in' sensitivity” towards students here, especially in regard to decisions concerning: curriculum evaluation, the split leadership in the Division of Undergraduate Education, the decentralized student union, and the quality of life. Schwartz also criticized the “non-dynamic attitude” that he claimed characterizes the University’s top officials and remarked that the faculty is an “incredibly untapped potential.” Schwartz’s comments went generally well-received by the quiet Council members who agreed, at least in theory, that they should become more supportive. Most impressed and willing to help was Councilwoman Rose Sconiers, who said she wanted to know “specific things” that could be done and asked Schwartz “Where do we go from here?" Least touched was Councilman George Measer who said he also sits on the Daeman College Council and that students here should be thankful for what they have. “They don’t appreciate what they’ve got,” ha said. After the meeting, Schwartz admitted he was disgusted with the Council’s refusal to adopt the resolution against the boost. “I ■guess they decided to be a meaningless body,” the annoyed SA President said. He scoffed at Millonzi’s contention that more time. is needed to study the tuition question asking “Where have they been all this time?” at to he noted. The Devil in Miss Jones is the second film to be banned here Deep Throat was barred from a campus showing in early 1977. Cassano said he’d be surprised if the police tried to intervene the film’s showing, but Paul took a more cautious stance. He in said he had considered screening the film in a lounge in Ellicott, but felt that University Police might intervene. “The last thing I want is an arrest record,” he said. Paul tried to contact the Buffalo Police’s Salacious Literature Office, which he said has been abolished. Jurisdiction over pornography, according to Paul, now lies with the District Attorney’s office. “The DA doesn’t know what the hell’s going 6n,” Paul commented, referring to the indifference which met his questions. Student Association Attorney Richard Lippes said the Administration is probably within its rights to ban the film if it has been ruled obscene. Lippes said it would also be politically unwise for the University to anger a conservative Legislature by screening a porno flick Paul said IRC would atterfipt to schedule a less controversial x-rated film later this semester, “1 think it’s the feepayers and the University community that lofce out.” Paul said IRC would not pay the film’s $300 rental fee.

The threat of increases in dormitory costs, board contracts and student activity fees may fuel even more fears that public education Ls drifting beyond the financial reach of many New York Stale residents. Although the potential financial woes of SONY students are not nearly as dismal as portrayed in a February 18 Buffalo Evening News article, which cited an overall hike of up to $400; $120 for room. $100 for board, and $30 in mandatory fees, the current proposal from SUNY Chancellor Clifton R.

Tire UUP Delegate Assembly, comprised of representatives from SUNY institutions, voted February 2 to allocate the funds for a public relations/advertising project. According to UUP President Sam Wakshull, “Scores of jobs are at stqke, and we feel this is the most vital move that can be taken at this time.” Although even preliminary research has not yet been conducted, the project, approved by both the UUP Executive Board and the Assembly calls for funds to be set aside, as if In escrow.

Carey’s proposed executive budget for 1979-1980, 40 students lobbied Tuesday at the Legislative Office Building in Albany. Earlier this month, 100 students had gathered at the capital to confront the Legislature over the proposed tuition hike. The students from SONY Delhi and Fredonia, sponsored by the Student Association of the State University (SASU) came equipped with budget fact sheets advocating a $10 million increase for SUNY over Carey’s proposed budget, according to SASU President Larry Schillinger. Ti e lobbyists, in meetings with individual legislators, cited areas inadequately funded or omitted from the governor’s budget, he said. Specifically, Schillinger noted, the governor’s budget allocates nothing for library acquisition,'replacement and repair ot equipment, or construction. The SASU lobby recommended the legislature amend the budget to provide for these areas. 0 GMAT Test for a Lifetime Be Prepared John Sexton** LSAT &GMAT Courses John SextonJTeit Preparation vantages in preparing for these • Best, • Substantive curricula ( • most recent materials not just timings courses offer all impc : •"Live" I Team instruction by a faculty •Practice exams you distinrt ad nr tes's •Counseling ) superior d instruction not just tapes I • Substantial study materials • Extra • - help sessions GMAT Classes now forming for March 17, test Compare John Sexton Course advantages With others, then for information call ~ JtdviOdbKi TEST preparation center 831-2019 831-2021 Bryant & Stratton Bldg..

But student representative Scott a member of both Jiusto - The Springer implementation Steering (SIS) committee endorsed by a 5-2-3 vote Friday, the propsed Grandfather Clause of its counterpart, the DUE Curriculum Committed for Springer Implementation. The SIS endorsement leaves two versions of the Grandfather Clause before Vice President for Academic Affairs Ronald Bunn and Vice President for Health Sciences F. Carter Pannill; one jointly supported by the two committees and the other backed by DDF. Dean John Peradotto. Bunn and Pannill, who created the two committees, will study the two plans and then present some version of the grandfather clause to the Academic Cabinet, which will eventually forward its version to University President Robert L. Ketter. SIS Chairman and Associate — committees - expects to win the battle. “I expect they'll accept the of the Curriculum report Committee,” he said. Jiusto pointed out that the Curriculum Committee - students, which combines and faculty administrative representatives approved the plan unanimously. Tire SIS deals primarily with logistical snarlings. Nine or ten Peradotto’s plan would require a student to graduate with a minimum of 126' credit hours, while the Curriculum Committee plan would permit graduation with only 122 hours. “Our plan is designed to benefit those who are going to be hurt most by Springer,” Jiusto said, referring to Engineering professor William next year’s senior class. George, a SIS member, called A student who has completed Peradotto’s plan “too restrictive” credits by September 1979 (16 but also telt that the Curriculum credits per semester for six Committee plan, which he voted semesters) would have to take against, was too liberal.

Indications are though, that many four credit courses will remain, and that some science courses perhaps all will be eventually shifted back to five credits, as they were prior to the four course load. — Chic) Freshman student David Hoffman, in the midst of his petition campaign to dissolve the Student Association (SA) Senate, said Friday that a Senator threatened him with physical harm if his efforts were Student Jiusto however, said he expects the number of students in a positjon t0 take a three course> credit fina] semester 0 be | y m sign if,cant.‘’ — by Jay Rosen h'Jitor in the fear of a three course load “I’m not sure we can resolve it,’ George said successful. SA President Karl Schwartz, who has been engaged in a running battle with the Senate, said he was threatened by the same Senator a day earlier, Reggie Washington, an active Senator and Black Student Union member, is the target of both allegations. He refused to answer any questions on the incidents when contacted by The Spectrum Saturday. Hoffman and Schwartz have both reported the alleged threats to University Police, who have filed reports on the two incidents. Hoffman, in a signed statement delivered to The Spectrum Friday evening, said that Washington approached him Friday afternoon while he was sitting at a desk in the Squire Hall office where he is employed. Asked about intent After asking to see the petition Hoffman was circulating, Washington began copying some of its provisions by hand, Hoffman said. Washington then began asking questions on the petition’s intent and on Hoffman’s reasons for wanting to dissolve the Senate, he added™ Washington then asked Hoffman if The Spectrum was him SI000 to circulate the petititons, to which he replied negatively, Hoffman said. According to Hoffman, Washington then said words to the effect; “We know where you live. If you win, we’ll come looking for you.” Hoffman said he interpreted Washington’s words as a physical threat. He also said that Washington was accompanied by another Senator and Black Student Union member who implied that he might face physical harm. Schwartz, who also gave The Spectrum a ginetf statement Friday, said that Washington confronted him Thursday evening in the third floor men’s room of Squire Hall. After Washington indicated his knowledge of Hoffman’s petition, Schwartz said, the two walked outside into the hallway. According to Schwartz, Washington then said: “Hey Karl I hope you’re out of office before you end up the way Spiegel did.” Schwartz said he assumed Washington was referring to Steve / ... is for students, to avoid nation or pi lacing on excessive burden jeopard lizing grai an undergrads, but also to avoid encouraging students to narrow their educational focus. There appears to be a consensus that either four or five courses a semester is a desirable load and the fear of a three, but the opinion is scattered over the worry about a six course load and , re^ive “ P' ans recommend that distribution requirements remain as currently stated and that major requirements be expressed as required courses if they aren’t currently. Other provisions would protect students with 88 or more credits from having to take and restrict major additions for students with 56 credits (by September 1) to two courses. Jiusto expects Ketter to make decision within two weeks. Meanwhile however, both committees must work around the Grandfather Clause. The delay affect SIS will “definitely operations, Jiusto said. a ” Spiegel, SA Executive Vice President during the 1976-77 year, who was assaulted in Squire Hall (then Norton Hall) allegedly by two members of the- Black Student Union and a member of the Third World Veteran’s Association. Spiegel was hospitalized with a scratched cornea, hemmorrhaging, bruises and cuts around the face, neck and arms and other injuries. The December 1976 beating came after; week of strained relations between the Student Association officers and the Black Student Union. While Schwartz said he interpreted Washington’s comments as physical threats, he added: “1 am less concerned about rwself than 1 am about the general atmosphere. The fact that students Tire trying to effect the political process by physical intimidation is disturbing.” The Senate has been in continual conflict with both The Spectrum and tfie SX officers over a host of political battles. Hoffman, who said he is not connected with either The Spectrum or SA, announced his petition campaign Wednesday after observing a Senate meeting and talking to people from what he called “all sides of the issue.” Hoffman said Friday that: “I am going ahead with it [the petition) anyjway, regardless of the situation.” “This is not proper for student government and certainly won’t help to get anything done,” HOffman said in reference to the alleged threats. Senate reformed? Schwartz said Friday. “One would hope that if a person felt that he or she was being wronged concerning an issue like this proposed referendum, then he or she would use legitimate avenues. “Fear is not a legitmate avenue.

He is a powerfully built man who is partially crippled and must use crutches to transport himself. Washington’s only comment Saturday was: “I am not answering questions because I feel I have not said those things.” Hoffman’s petition would remove the article of the SA constitution that creates the Senate, and replace it with a passage forming a new Senate.

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

E3 academic stance aimed at educating the public. To his total discredit, Lee felt he had to invent a few decorative excuses for his action; excuses that Geography Professor Charles Ebert has personally toppled with his aggressive forays into the Love Canal research. Ebert's work and the efforts of Roswell Park reseracher Beverly Paigen and Sociology professor that Adeline Levine, show Lee's contention faculty involvement in an advisory or consultant to be dubious at its best role was impractical — and deceptive at its worst Thought and action on the Love Canal "Here at Buffalo, we concur in the belief that a public university must indeed have a strong commitment to public service ..." —Robert L. Ketter State of the University address September 10, 1978 There is a hollowness to these words; the sound of insincerity that so often cloaks institutional lethargy in "moral" commitment. Although it is easy to see through and dismiss the weary prose of the President's speech writers, the emptiness of this University's contribution to the outside community takes a sharper eye; one that can focus on those unmet needs of the area's citizens that SUNY Buffalo cannot bring itself to face. With only a touch of ingenuity, any bureaucracy can obscure a negative failure, i.e. the out of negligence tasks that are never assumed. But the University blew its cover with the Love Canal Task Force and showed the Western New York community what it can expect in times of crisis nothing; and a litany of excuses as convincing as a Hooker Chemical Co. vice president. As is customary here, this failure is accompanied by elastic truths, irrelevancies, and rationalizations: anything but the unadorned truth. Dean of Engineering George Lee, to his credit, admits shifting the emphasis of the Task Force away from an advisory function toward a more — — — If there had been encouragement from the top and a hard-working, imaginzative individual (like Ebert) as Chairman, the Love Canal Task Force could have contributed greatly to the understanding of this complex but far reaching environmental problem. No one here has to be told that the Love Canal is just the first chemical time bomb to go off in the country, and that thousands of other deadly waste dumps are ticking away across the United States. The Love Canal presented a unique, one time chance for the University to show the community its dedication and, to some degree, the nation to public service. Certainly it was not a typical opportunity; certainly it would have taken some new thinking and a new spirit of cooperation; and certainly there were delicate political hands to play. But, we cannot believe it was beyond this institution's talents to organize a comprehensive plan of action for the Love Canal. Such a plan could have combined the homeowners' near desperate need for help and the disaster's crystalline opportunity to meld highly technical reserach with real-life, human problems. It could also have combined the experience and credentials of faculty members with the enthusiasm and curiosity of students to create a learning exchange of rare richness. Perhaps the Unviersity's Love Canal Task Force of willing faculty would have joined hands with the Love Canal Study Group of interested grad and undergrad students in the hard sciences; and with the Love Canal Action Committee of concerned, politically aware students from all disciplines; and with the Love Canal citizen's panel of active community members; and with the Love Canal Homeowners' Association. If that is too much innovation to handle, then perhaps the Task Force could have stimulated a few — — more professors to contribute as Ebert did, on ar individual basis. And if that is too much leadership than this place can muster then the Administration could have at least explained honestly why it was so reluctant. That is the minimum we would expect the unadorned truth. and, based on The Spectrum's research, it If appears to be a big if there are legal restrictions on the University entering a controversy where the State is involved, then let's hear it and, better yet, let's use that handicap as a public argument for greater automony for SUN Y. - — - "I am certain that they [the Love CanaI Task Force] will make important contributions to our awareness and understanding of theproblem and hopefully, they will be able to contribute significantly to its solution ...” Robert L. Ketter State of the University address September 10, 1978 The Task Force's failure has very little to do with faculty reluctance, or the State's uncooperative stance. No, it is a failure born out of the atmosphere created by the leadership of this University; an atmosphere that sees service to the business, industrial, and professional community as the limitsof "public service." There simply is no creative leadership here that aims the Unversity's wealth of expertise and energy at citizen issues. Until there is, local corporations with management problems will continue to find a sympathetic ear, while frightened and ignorant citizens who want environmental dangers explained to them will be turned away. That, in a sentence, is public service at SUNY Buffalo, where commitment is measured in mission statements and the community is, most importantly, a market for sellingcreditTree courses. - — "\/Ve are determined to surmount our present difficulties in order to continue to build upon the academic achievements of the past to emphasize the interrelationships between teaching, research and service, and to pursue the high aim of unifying theory and practice; thought and action; of creating an understanding oflife with the living of it." Robert L. Ketter Closing remarks September 10, 1978 — — SXil^QF by Jay Rosen ALBANY The scene is a crowded, floodlit room somewhere in an office building near the State capital. Governor Hugh Carey, his confidence brimming after his picture appeared in TIME magazine, is answering the questions of a group of student editors from across the SUNY system. For some unexplainable reason, Joi DiMaggio is standing calmy to Carey's left, like a body guard. The questioner is the editor of the Cortland paper. CORTLAND; Mr. Carey, you— CAREY: That’s Governor Carey, son. CORTLAND; Mr. Governor, you— CAREY: That’s M ister Governor Carey, son. CORTLAND; Mr. Governor Carey, will you please tell us, was the tuition hike your idea, or Chancellor Wharton’s? CAREY: I can tell you, without hesitation, that the entire idea, from conception to birth, start to finish, the very thought of if, its essence, its core, its very being was well sort of a mutual agreement that kind of drifted into — - - existence, really. CORTLAND: So, you’re saying that there is going to be a tuition hike. CAREY: No, you’re saying I said; but that you can’t say that I said you could say that. That’s all I’m saying. NEW PALTZ; Governor, New York State currently spends more money on private education than the other 4U states combined. At the same time. New York ranks only 47th in aid to public education. How can you sleep nights knowing that such a disparity exists? CAREY: 1 can’t sleep nights. Which is one reason I’m dating that Ford woman. But seriously. I’ve directed my special assistant for education to address this problem and - . he has promised to look into ways we can cut aid to public education so that it too will be 49th. The disparity will then be erased. Next question. OSWEGO: Mr. Carey, I’m from SUNV Oswego, andCAREY: So. I’m from Brooklyn, even been to Brooklyn?

The following is quoted from an editorial which appeared January 5, 1979 in the Houston Post supporting Jimmy Carter’s call for $500 million to modernize nuclear weapons facilities; “The face lifting for our nuclear arms production complex is planned as part of a five year expansion program for our strategic nuclear arsenal . . . An improved version of theland based minuteman 111, the nuclear tipped cruise missle, and a new improved version of the land based minuteman III, the nuclear tipped cruise missle, and a new modest but valuable investment in improved environmental safety and production efficiency at our nuclear arms plants,” This truly novel approach to environmental protection seems to follow the same logic as does the research and Smith’s, approach to Mr. development of technology.

Ue is afraid that change will mean his embarking upon a future with which he is unfamiliar and does not jibe with his self speculation. I wonder if Mr. Smith has ever experienced or even considered the realities of the wars waged with military developed technology - mass loss of life through unimagineably horrible means.

Technological innovation however, flourishes under programs with peaceful intentions and pioneering dimensions of which the much depleted and presently limp space program is a prime example. If technology seems to advance under military control it is only because that is where the money and influence are and not due to any great social vision on the part of the Departmetn of Defense. - - William C.

II you’d like to help out, we always need you to help in our office, in setting up talks and slide presentations on campus and in the community, and. currently, in circulating a petition that calls on New York Congressional representatives to stop funds for a new nuclear submarine, the Trident, and use the money saved to clean-up the West Valley nuclear dump site and the Love Canal area in Niagara Tails. We are trying to make sense out of the saying choose life.” Symbolically and literally we are waging a campaign to choose life over death. Tach Trident submarine will cost over $1 billion and be able to destroy over 400 cities with hydrogen bombs. How much more sane and life-affirming to spend our resources cleaning up the poisons in our environment so that there will be a future for our children! Ol course, change will not come'easy.

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

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

The normal progression for th promising ball player is to first play a short season with a club like the Niagara Falls team. After that it’s on to Double A, Triple A and finally the majors. Buffalo anticipates a strong team at its level. With an overflow of young talent at the two higher levels in the I’irate organization, Colpoys is confident that the club will be a contender. The price of an adult ticket has been unofficially placed at S2.50; the price of hotdogs has not been disclosed Bleachers await the crowds as War Memorial is readied Standing amidst rows of condemned tenements and burned-out storefronts looms an ancient structure beckoning for a chance to once again be useful. War Memorial Stadium, stuck in the heart of the decaying East Side of Buffalo, has been granted a new lease on life with the return of professional baseball to the Nickel City. Consturcled in the post-depression era of 1942, the “Rockpile” as it is somewhat affectionately called, was formerly the site of Buffalo’s most celebrated sporting events. Friday nights wercfilled with local high-school talent battling for city championships, fighting late fall snow storms as well as rivals in order to salvage the pride of the city. The University of Buffalo left its niche in the rusting grandstand, dueling opposing gridders before the cheers and jeers of over 40,000 supporters. As recently as last fall, the baseball Bulls tested tire strength of the grandstand bleachers while booming mammoth home runs off Canisius College hurlers. War Memorial saw its glory clays come and go in the early 1960’s with the birth of the American Football League. For more than a decade, the Buffalo Bills scrapped with the best in football, building a dedicated following in the process. The era began with a league that barely survived its infancy and ended when a flashy Californian named O.J. Simpson helped run the Bills out to the suburban security of Orchard Park. the country’s history. But lime also heals, and baseball fans in Buffalo should mend their mental wounds and once again venture out to the corner of Best and Masten to help revitalize the tradition of professional baseball in Buffalo.- David Davidson SPECIALS Rooties MONDAY Pump Room Football was not the sole supporter of the mid-city stadium. Until June 1970, Buffalo was regarded as one of the minor league baseball capitals of North America. The Buffalo Bisons, affiliated with the Cincinnati Reds in the fateful summer of 1970, packed up and left for Indianapolis. All that remained was a pathway paved with baseball memories. If an all-star team was chosen out of former Buffalo diamond sta*s, such greats as Warren Spahn, Johnny Bench and Fd Kranepool would just be a beginning. Torn by the turmoil of violent riots in the 1960’s, the sports center of Buffalo was branded as “unsafe”. As Rich Stadium, present home of the Bills, neared completion, the once capacity crowds gave way to empty sections in the upper deck. Attending a night game was virtually out of the question as assault and vandalism incidents raised fear in the hearts of even loyal patrons. Now, almost a decade later, Buffalo Mayor James Griffin has confirmed reports of a Double A minor league franchise making its home in buffalo. Still unnamed, the club will survive only if the “hazardous to health” branding of the stadium heals. Ten years later, it still shows the scars of an important movement in the city’s and Uistt's - 3 splits hr *1,00 TUESDAY A! mM drillsitV fries hr SIS Stahl Road •* MiNersfort Hwy. 688-0100 Floss HOME OF THE T's; For those readers who have never had a glimpse of War Memorial Stadium, this is it.

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

He claimed that because of the chasm dividing the Senate and the Executive Committee, student credibility is low. He called for a Senate unified in goals and objectives and promised that it could once more become a - After a suggestion that the audit be conducted by the office of Vice President for Finance and Management Edward Doty, the motion was passed 16-2. The Senate also passed by a 16-1-1 vote a motion demanding that The Spectrum produce a copy of Appendix A of its by-laws. Appendix A is a code of ethics delineated by the now defunct United States Student - viable organization.

A motion Schwartz mentioned. the proposed by Bob that a Senate Action University-wide issues Education Report work begins Campus Editor The wheels began turning on approval of a General Education Report Wednesday, with a possible delay in implementation until 1980 among the topics broached by the Faculty Senate Executive Committee. One section of the report is scheduled for Fall implementation, with provisions fbr refinement in the following years. Instruction Professor Gerald Rising suggested delaying implementation until Fall 1980 to allow the 1979 Committee more time to reach a consensus before turning it over to the Faculty Senate as a whole. Rising also wanted more time to consider specific aspects of the 32 page Report, which the Committee received during the meeting. Phase-One of the Report proposed a total of 11 courses outside a student’s major. The required applying only to students enrolling in courses 1979-80 and transfer students with fewer than 15 credits are divided among six “knowledge areas,” including two from the area of Foreign Language. The foreign language requirement has been opposed by SA Director of Academic Affairs Daine Eade and questioned by members oj the Committee.

LaFleche stalled action on the proposed changes in both the Open Meetings- Law and The Frecdom-Of Information Act. A recent court decision has enabled subcommittees of public agencies to elude the law and hold private meetings. COPAR wants to eliminate that escape clause by defining the term “committee” to include such groups. COPAR’s decision will go to the State Legislature as a bill to change both laws. Defining itself as a subcommittee, UB’s Faculty Senate Executive Committee has placed itself beyond the scope of the Open Meetings Law. Should the COPAR proposal become law, .that definition would become invalid. State’s Open Meetings Law has been temporarily stalled. The Executive Director of the Committee on Public Access to Records (COPAR), Robert J. Freeman, has prepared recommendations that would enable a newspaper or a private citizen to sue an offending body and broaden Jurisdiction of the law. But a lack of members from COPAR's public segment at the last meeting enabled a delegate from the government sector to delay decision on the bill. The committee includes Lieutenant Governor Mario C'uomo, Secretary of State Basil Paterson, General Services Commissioner James O’Shea and Budget Director Howard all from the government sector. The public Miller members of the committee include newspaper editors from — ■ I■ S ■ language course alone, but as a “cross-cultural” study. Chairman of the General Education Committee, Baker, noted that the two language courses could be taken in different areas. Also, he said, the requirement could be fulfilled by upper level courses, thus accomodating those students who already had a background in a language. Baker stressed that “Phase-Two” would provide a mechanism for modifying the initial requirements, but added that they would remain basically intact. Phase-Two, according to the report, would continue to develop the General Education program for Fall 1980 and beyond. The Committee, said Baker, tried to “achieve some goals as immediately as was feasible, emphasizing breadth of education, and to acheive a mandate to refine the basics and develop alternatives.” Phase-Two proposes a separate basic skills component, consisting of two courses in English Composition and a math or computation course. 'Norman According to Baker, both faculty, and student surveys indicated a need for improvement of basic skills. Three groups of students could be identified, he said those who need remedial work, those who don’t necessarily need remedial work but whose basic skills could be enhanced by the requirement, and those who qualify for exemption from all or part of the requirement.

Also on the agenda are the Springer Report implementation and the Executive will urge that body’s “on the record” opposition Budget. The measures initiated by Pierce are intended to “force” the Council to consider important University issues. “The Council,” Pierce maintained, “wants to play games. They like to consider themselves a RESPONSE TO RAT FOOD REQUESTED; Tha Faculty Student Association has developed a comprehensive survey in order to taka tha University's pulse on tha quality, price —Floss and service provided by campus cafeterias and vending machines.

Survey to study Food Service and vending machine complaints by Mark Meltzer Campus Editor What do people think of Food Service? That’s the question burning in the minds of the Faculty Student Association (FSA) Board of Directors, Food Service’s governing body. Their search for an answer begins as a comprehensive survey designed to just what people like and dislike the most and why. find Assistant marketing professor Stephen Goodwin of UB’s School of Management is supervising the study, which will cost FSA an estimated $1200. Goodwin and management student Gary Jacobi designed the questionnaire but Jacobi will be doing most of the collating of information. Goodwin said the survey is expected to be five to six pages and will be issued within the week. survey will employ numerically scaled questions along what Goodwin called a “multi attribute framework.” Participants will be asked about The nice little coffee club.” Claiming that UB has “absorbed beyond the point of osmosis” various budget reductions, Pierce calls for the Council’s attention to the “serious implications” of an increased tuition. The proposal which Pierce will ask the Council to approve states the group’s opposition to a SUNY-wide tuition hike and is to be forwarded to the SUNY Trustees with whom the final decision rests. - No sunshine Pierce said on Wednesday that while he doesn’t anticipate “too much controversy” to result from the resolution, he expects from the Council, “the standard argument that a tuition increase has not yet been passed.” Pierce claims, however, “The best defense is a good offense. There can be no harm to a resolution of opposition.” Also sought by Pierce will be the Council’s support of a resolution censuring Carver for closing a Faculty Senate Executive Committee meeting to a reporter from The Spectrum on January 31, thus violating the Sunshine Law. Formally the Open Meetings Act of the State of New York, the law mandates that a meeting of a public body one conducting public business and/or some function of governance must be open. Pierce — - 20 Food Service characteristics and 12 Vending Service attributes. In addition, a series of background questions are-' included so that FSA can get a broader picture of their customers. Random sample A random sample has already been drawn and those chosen will receive their survey either through campus or U.S. mail. Two thirds of the sample will be students (undergrads and grads from both day and night divisions) with the other third coming from the faculty, staff and administrative segments of the University. While the specific complaints of the University community will not be clear until the survey results are analyzed May 4 according to Goodwin several trouble spots have emerged without the survey. Fight coffee machines now in use on campus are more than 10 years old, according to FSA Treasurer Len Snyder, and are in need of replacement. Students have — New cafeteria cereals ‘crummy,’ say students They’re not Grrreat. At least that’s what a panel of student taste testers concluded after comparing samples of Food Service’s “Frosted Flakes” with Kelloggs’ popular breakfast cereal. The 10 person panel unanimously found Food Service’s flakes inferior to the Kelloggs variety, although the group preferred Food Service’s “Crisp Rice” to Kellogss’ Rice Krispies by a 5—4—1 vote. Each studept sampled unlabeled samples of both varieties and was asked by The Spectrum to choose the better tasting brandWhile it was generally conceeded that there “was almost no difference” between the rice cereal, the student panel was critical of the Food Service “Frosted Flakes;” Students found the flakes to be “too thick,” “not sweet enough” and said they possessed a “chemical aftertaste.” “This reminds me of toxiology lab,” one student declared. £ood Service switched from Kelloggs and Post cereals last semester in a move to cut costs..The new cereal, manufactured by Van Brqdy Mills, is bought in bulk and kept in glass jars, which Food Service Buyer Bob Frawley admitted could cause staleness. Food Service Director Donald Hosie said that students frequently pocketed the one ounce boxes of cereal that were used prior to the switch, even though students are not permitted to remove food from the cafeterias. Hosie explained that Food Service chose not to continue to buy Kelloggs and Post cereals and change the method of serving them because savings could be achieved by switching to Van Brody. “We tested it and we felt it was high quality,” Frawley said. But the student opinion is apparently different. “I don’t get cereal anymore,” one student complained. in addition the switch in brands has alsa narrowed the selection for students. “Sugar Crisp,** “Fruit Loops,” “Cheerios” and “Cocoa Krispies” are no longer available. reported numerous- complaints about some of the machines, which they say, have been known to fill up a cup or two with hot water and Ughtener. Director of Food Service Donald Hosie said the upgrading of Vending facilities is under consideration. Meanwhile, a group of Med School students are considering a lawsuit contending that FSA is guilty of serious vending service violations. The Farber Hall area that the Med students are concerned about is considered a high traffic area. Snyder was disturbed that the students have threatened to take legal action instead of consulting FSA’s Vending Director. FSA President Joe Darcy a student representative said the group’s demands have not been made - clear. Prices Complaints have also been received from Millard Fillmore College students (MFC) who frequently rely on vending machines for dinner between work and classes. A MFC student was appointed Wednesday to the Food Service Standing Advisory committee to funnel in those complaints. MFC students have griped that the 12 vending machines in Diefendorf Hall should be more carefully monitored. argues that the Senate and its Executive Committee are part of the governance process here, "at this public institution.” According to Pierce, “It is not up to Newton Carver to ban anyone from the meeting of a quasi-government.” He claimed he seeks “public of the College Council’s “displeasure” with Carver’s expression actions. Students urged Also brought before the group will be the issue of a medical school application question on abortion. Pierce said he not only wants to know why a “to-be medical student’s” stand on abortion is important, but also whether the information is used as criteria for admission. “1 would like a statement from Ketter that this practice wi'l be stopped,” , he said. Student Association (JSA) President Karl Schwartz will deliver a report to the Council on student life at UB. He said Wednesday, “I want to give the Council an accurate perspective. It is my suspicion that their beliefs are based on previous interaction with Council members, and are not in tune with where students are at.” A representative from the Graduate Student Association will also attend the meeting to express his group’s position on University issues discussed. The meeting at 3 p.m. in the University Council Room on the 5 th' floor of Capcn Hall is open to all students. Pierce urges students to cojne with questions and show their “strength and concern in the University.” ..... Are your books overdue?

Board Contract students have argued that Food Service’s cash equivalency deal is a ripoff. A student wanting to eat lunch in Goodyear cafeteria, for example, must pay $2.55. But, if a Board Contract Student wants to eat in the Rathskellar or Norton he will only get $1.90 worth of food. Bozek explained that Food Service calculates a 25 percent missed meal factor into board contract costs. When a student opts for cash equivalency, there is no missed meal, so the value is reduced.

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

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

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

Mark O’Leary trots out a series of tired cliches and criticisms with little correspondence to the current reality. He criticizes with little knowledge, overlooks the positive, and cites as real supposed practices that (if they ever existed) no longer characterize the Colleges. The Colleges at this University are chartered through an elaborate process of academic review. All courses including the auto mechanics course cited by Mr.'O’Leary go through an elaborate process of - As an active member of Women’s Studies College, I would like to comment on Mark O’Leary’s letter (Friday, Feb. 16). in which he criticized the Collegiate System at including death and dying, nutrition, College H social and ethical values in medicine without value? (or, for that matter, are they even “non-traditional?”) Where did he ever get the idea that a grade of B could be obtained without completing course requirements? This is explicitly prohibited in the Colleges; and I should note that B is never a minimum grade, in any College unit. Yes, F.llicott is large and impersonal. It has a more human scale, a more humane basis, largely because of the Colleges housed in the complex. A glance at Backpage, or at the calendar in the Reporter, would quickly show a variety of activiies in Ellicott sponsored by Colleges. Finally, let me note that Mr. O’Leary lacks much knowledge of Oxford and Cambridge. 1 completed my Ph.D. at Oxford, and recently returned from a sabbatical leave there. Of the 37 Colleges at Oxford, some are small (less than 60), others range well above 600. The basic difference between Buffalo and Oxford is that instruction is given overwhelmingly by Departments here, predominantly by Colleges in Oxford. The Colleges at this institution have been designed as interdisciplinary undergraduate teaching units that supplement and extend the activities of departments. We are proud to carry this* responsibility, but recognize that it involves a basically different set of obligations trom that prevailing on the other side of the Atlantic. It might be nice to establish “Oxbridge on the Ellicott,” indeed, there are some parts of the Collegiate System (such as Vico College) that attempt to emulate some of the better aspects of British liberal arts, tutorial style undergraduate education. But we are part of a state university, catering to a far broader serjes of student expectations. The Colleges contribute to this diversity, avoiding the narrow scholasticism that, at its worst, has at times characterized quality American and British universities. — — Claude K. Welch, Jr. Interim Dean The Spectrum Friday, 23 February 1979 Editor-in-Chief Jay Rosen UB. Mr. O’Lreay claimed that some of the Colleges no other purpose then to “act as clubs through which on obtains desirable dorm rooms.” That is not true. The Colleges play a very important role at UB; they offer intensified fields of study and small classes which contrasts with the large departments where students can easily be made to feel serve - insignificant. Mr. O'L.eary attacked specific Colleges, among them WSC, saying that these courses provide a forum for the department’s axe-grinding. Again, not true.

These seminar classes do S effectively break down academic barriers. Students 10 seem to understand much more material after discussing it with other students than they would understand in a standard lecture class. The Colleges enrich students’ educational experiences at UB; they do not lower scholastic standard s. 'I Judy The Colleges experience To the Editor: Gerich Lnglish, it was an act of God); and incredibly thick and thin variation in my list of history courses. So much for traditional education as instructor spoke I’d like to refute the bulk of Mark O’Leary’s letter. However, because it was so confused and vague, this letter will have to be a bit long. Obsjensibly, Mark’s letter was an attack on Spitzberg’s credibility (he got three sentences in the article); in reality the letter was an attack on the Colleges (25 sentences). Spitzberg should not be blamed for the implementation of his plan, and The Colleges should not be accountable for the design of the Amherst Campus or the designs of the Administration either. The Amherst Campus was built solely to isolate the student body from the community, and fragment it internally. The college plan was added on as a means to rationalize the original goal. That the plan was added on administrative goal, as can be seen by the financial and bureaucratic backing it’s received since it’s inception. Yes, the Amherst Campus is good at isolating people it was physically designed for that purpose, but it certainly isn’t the fault ofThe Colleges. But what about The Colleges as they exist today? Unbelievable as it may sound, they have goals and ideals far removed from the original college plan. Are they elite? Small by choice? Do they sit on piles of money while refusing to sponsor activities? Or is Mark simply pissed off because he’s too much of an aristocrat to join the common “elite”? (Or, maybe he’s afraid it’s like a type of frat and won’t let him in.) My own personal experience is with WSC and AMS, so let me start there. They have their doors open to everyone. No one is excluded. Tolstoy and WSC aren’t just for gay people; RCC isn’t just for people like The Fox of Chicago; AMS isn’t just for radicals, etc. New people and ideas are welcome ; including regular day students; older first-time and returning students; and minorities. They reject the idea that good education should only be made available to an elite. Yes, Mark, you too can take a College course or join a College, but if you don’t participate, don’t complain it isn’t available. Colleges hold as many seminars, film screenings and activities as their extremely limited budgets will allow. Most Colleges have had their budgets cut every year for the last six years. But, if you never attend their activities, don’t complain that you never see any. If you don’t think they’re doing enough, then agitate for more money. And, speaking of academic standards vs. academic nonsense 1 would inquire if Mark ever took a College-course or if he is simply running on hearsay (i.e., fable)? As a graduated BA/BS in The Sciences, I’ve sat through lectures on how chickens “do it” (Anthro.); the laughable 'excuse for education of Chcm. 101 through 202 (a highly competitive pre-med-weed_-out-mill); three years of Physics (if the — - — Treasurer science courses I have ever taken (I am a political science major.). WSC does emphasize certain 3 political perspectives in its courses but no more so than any departmental courses I have ever & participated in. Certainly it’s not a valid conclusionon Mr. O’Leary’s part that WSC courses merely exist w = - exfliaination. within individual Colleges, through the Colleges Curriculum Committee, and through the DUE Curriculum Committee. Many of the subjects are taught in interdisciplinary fashions. Should one consider an introduction to environmental studies “bastardized” because it draws on insights from both natural and social sciences? Are the courses in Vol. 29, No. 62 i vj - the model for excellence. The standards can't gel much lower than that. Only in WSC and AMS courses have 1 found what’s lacking in the University as a whole: goals arc decided 1. Consistency of standards on by consensus of teachers and are adhered to there’s no such animal as, professor-god-dictator upon whose caprice the class exists. 2. Genuine dedication to real learning where the world itself is not divided into “science” separate from “history” separate from “politics,” etc. The courses need not be divided either. Philosophers will tell you modern science developed ffom philosophical considerations of “rational;” scientists know that technology changes history; the politically aware study how philosophy and science are controlled, etc. In this context, it makes sense to talk about auto mechanics and politics, if one studies the questions of sex roles, learned helplessness, and strives to develop greater skills and independence in dealing with the world. “Learning” is the process of developing awareness of both academic background; and using skill in understanding and controlling the world around you. 3. Paradoxically, the existence of a fair grading because goals are so clearly understood, system and grading standards are pertinent to the goals; and because they are so uniform, grading is generally more reflective of progress; and even-handed. I have never gotten an “easy A” from a College course they all require investment of time and effort. Generally, grading requires judgement on the part of large science classes go the “scientific instructors route” (handout exams and look for spit-back answers); courses taught by individual professors without clear-cut goals end up being a matter of personal feeling or power. WSC looks at certain standards to insure that adequate effort has been maintained (class attendance, journals), but also realizes that people often reach the same goals through different routes, and encourages people to show their development in the best possible way. The thorny question of fair grading has never been answered but it can be easily demonstrated that grading in the University as a whole often serves purposes other than reasonable evaluation. (If you don’t believe it, take a heavily pre-med bio course.) I can see where Mark, from a limited point of view (1 could guess he is a freshman or sophomore living- in the dorms), would view The Colleges as privileged cliques who, with some backing from the Administration, obtain privileges in classes, dorms, etc. I think it’s a common misconception. He also thinks that the Amherst Campus was built for The Colleges. I would invite him to become involved in a College and discover the reality. — - - - - — - Katherine Kasza Stick to the five W’s T<> the Editor: 1 think that it is high time that somebody seriously questions the reliability of information published in The Spectrum. This is the only news that we read and by virtue of that fact alone, I ignore the situation any longer. It has deteriorated from a ridiculous to a downright dangerous brand of reporting. 1 am specifically referring to editorials which seek to ridicule and insult^the Student Senate, under the guise of satire or offbeat reporting. It would have been more productive if the ‘true’ events that yob wished to underscore were presented to the public in context. It is obvious that the editorial staff has become very defensive, in the face of criticism and seeks to retaliate under the guise of ‘editorial.’ 1 expect an editorial io provide a serious well-documented analysis and comment on, an on-going crisis in student government. The crisis is real'. There are real reasons for what is going on. It did not just happen. The question which you have ignored for as long as cannot the crisis has existed is why. What are the isnues and what has caused them to become issues. Flippant and off-beat assumptions, erroneous conclusions, do not in any way "provide readers with an understanding of a situation and Joes, not constitute responsible journalism. 1 am especially distressed by poorly disguised attempts to ridicule the Black Student .Union. Your cartoon, depicting monkeys holding microphones, which accompanied a report of a previous Senate meeting was in poor taste, and undeniably racist. It appears that the people at The Spectrum intend to play their ‘vendetta’ games at the expense of black people on campus. I strongly suggest that you do not attempt this. Furthermore, 1 suggest that you stick to straight reporting of who said what, to whom, and where. (This seems difficult enough, considering (he number of retractions you are asked to make.) In any event, leave interpretive reporting alone. You are obviously not qualified or too immature to do this properly.

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

First you curse X, then you consider that the move might make X a few bucks and allow them to hold on to their contract. “I guess it was inevitable,” you sigh as you relegate the record to the bottom of your stack. It is true that even the most individualistic artist is forced to make stylistic concessions in order to reach a wider audience. And for the big labels, who are aiming for double platinum with every that new record, reaching audience is what it’s all about. But when the fiscal stakes aren’t so high, a greater freedom for the artist can result. Flying Fish Records, a small independently owned and operated label, seems to understand that for a certain kind of artist, commercialism is fatal to both music and all, After if reputation. authenticity is your strong point, then trendiness could make you extinct. Therefore, Flying Fish makes records which allow mature and creative performers to present their music with the integrity with which it was created. Although all of their records might be grouped under “Folk” in the record store, they release folk-oriented records which range from the very traditional to the experimental. Here then is a sampling of recent releases from Flying Fish: With almost anticipation situations the maui day-to-day chores, the dangers of navigation, and most important!

She growls and-soars like Aretha, moans plaintively like Melanie. She uses a small, tight band, sometimes with horns, but the arrangements are tight and unobtrusive. The record has a few slow moments, but all in all, it's a fine record, and it improves with each listening. It is worth noting that she sings as a woman while the avoiding classic rock angel/whore stereotypes to which so many singers fall prey. Nothing trendy here, just good down-home singing and playing. Jim Post: / Love My Life. The cover of this record shows the singer songwriter standing outdoors under splashiTlg water; he garcs soulfully into our eyes, pectorals bulging. In spite of the Playgirl cover, this is a pretty good record, though not a great one by any means. The nicest surprise is Post's voice a high throaty wail with lots of character. The album is nicely arranged and played, and it has a mellow folk-pop feeling akin to Loggins and Messina. The main weakness is in the lyrics. All but one of the songs are Post’s, and Homemade unfortunately, the words are Tracy Nelson: Songs.

This is the real thing, friends; accept no substitutes. Here are the men who have played this music all of their lives, crooning those corny lyrics ("I wish that picture putting was and you"), tremendous energy, technical skill and good humor into every song. This ensemble, which includes fiddles (of course), pedal steel, guitars, saxes, trumpet, piano, bass and drums, has the drive of jazz, the polish of big-band swing, and the down-home-on-the-rangc funkiness of good C&W. The album seems to have been &J6T recorded in a studio-live format (no overdubbing), which makes for a nice spontanaeity. No attempts are made to modernize the music or make it “hip" this is a tribute to the integrity of Flying Fish. If you feel like you’re living 1500 miles too far from the heart of Texas, this is the record for you. - John Hartford: Heading Down Into The Mystery BeloXv.

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

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

ABC, in an attempt to re-enact the ratings coup the | original Roots won for them a little over two years ago, is broadcasting a 14-hour “continuation" entitled Roots: The Next Generation | (hereafter referred to as Roots II). It will be quite a feat if they 5 succeed. Roots / drew an incredible 130 million viewers the largest if audience in the history of television and changed TV forever. | Television is no longer restricted to the weekly series and the two-hour movie.

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

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

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

It’s Initially, Cyrus’s exhortations only on this basis that I can are met with a cool reception, but justify my liking a film that is eventually he begins to engender artistically of rather dubious some enthusiasm among the merit; realizing of course that this members of this unconventional statement points up a vexing convention and soon they are dilemma regarding the raison totally won over, that is until the is it quality art conclave comes to an abrupt halt d’etre of film that we’re looking for or is it when Cyrus is felled by an cathartic entertainment? assassin’s bullet. Mayhem ensues The Warriors is a violent action as riot police inundate the film set in the Big Apple. It’s also gathering.

Your only recourse is pummeled to death by the is to laugh at it. Despite all this vengeful Gramercy Riffs while the there’s no denying that the rest of the Warriors flee from the movie’s frenzied action is riveting wrathful violence. and exciting. by Robbie Cohen — Haggard Pummeled The movie centers around the night long travails of a Coney Island street gang, The Warriors. The film purports to portray "the tribal feeling of going into battle together, of loyalty, of support, of shared goals. By casting virtual unknowns, the producer Lawrence Gordon and director Walter Hill (The End and Hooper) hoped to accentuate this feeling of unity and common purpose. The Warriors' tenuous plot unfolds with a spectacular South Bronx conclave of New York City gang leaders, called by Cyrus, the An all points alert goes out for the capture of ..the fugitive Warriors by every gang in the city. the thereupon begins And Warriors’ perilous subway trek back to their Coney Island turf, where presumably they will be safe. Although split up and suffering several casualties (one gang member is sliced up by a charging train after being thrown on the tracks by a cop), the Warriors proceed to kick ass on every gang they encounter, including a bizarre group of bat wielding, baseball uniform clad clowns called the Baseball Furies who might easily have come out of an Anthony Burgess novel, a fearsome band , of vicious skinheads, and a group of hooligans on roller skates. Under the leadership of the taciturn Swan (Michael Beck), the racially mixed Warriors make it back to Coney Island only to fight it out with the diabolical Punks. As the battle with the Punks is about to ensue on the filthy sand of Brooklyn’s Brighton Beach, the enraged Gramercy Riffs arrive on the scene and decimate the Punks, discovered to be the real culprits responsible for Cyrus's assassination. Exonerated, the haggard surviving Warriors amble off into the sunset. Although the essential plot idea has po t ential, i ts development is glaringly thin. None of the characters are developed beyond cardboard stereotypes and much of the dialogue is trite to the point of absurdity. Whenever a character's courage falters, we hear one of his comrades hurling out a peculiar vituperation, "Whatsa matta, you goin faggit?” new wave of gang violence in some American cities. The Warriors is selling out in New York As far as social commentary goes, The Warriors is devoid of any message. The closest it ever comes is one scene where the gang members sit exhausted on an IRT train and are confronted by a felicitous pair of well dressed white couples who are subjected to cold stares. Ah the constrast! Privilege and wealth vs. squalor and destitution. Another scene (although probably more comical than anything else) has The Warriors finally making it back to Coney Island' and Swan, after scanning the ugliness of his home turf, mutters indignantly, "We fought all night just to get back to this.” Yes, the film has some real holes in it. And except for the female D.J, whose quavering lips track the Warriprs night long progress (played by Lynn Thigpen), the badass demeanor of the Gramercy Riffs’ war minister (Edward Sewer) qnd the belligerence of the Punks’ head (Craig Baxley), the acting is pretty mediocre. But want a lot of action and a good panorama of New York, both above and below street level, see The Warriors. But be sure to wear your leather. Real holes Viewing the movie, I chose to ignore most of these faults in order to revel in the non-stop action. The fight scenes were doubtlessly some of the best celluloid brawls I’ve ever seen. True this cast of quasi-amateurs are no masters of histrionics but they sure know how .to kick ass with credible realism.

The world-famous mime performed selections from a large repertoire of style and “Bip” pantomimes. The style pantomimes included "The Amusement Park," 'The Maskmaker,” "The Seven Deadly Sins,” "The Angel," and “Youth, Maturity, Old Age, and Death.” These were artistic, thought-provoking pieces that amazed and delighted all. Bip, Marceau’s alter-ego, is a clown with a painted face, striped shirt, and a battered tophat decorated by a flower. Marceau showed his insight and talent for humor in "Bip as a China Salesman," "Bip Dreams He is Don Juan,” "Bip as a Skater,” and especially “Bip Plays David and Goliath." Marceau made two hours seem like a moment with his talent of expressing his perceptive and humorous view of the human condition, and all without words. This magical genius of mime is on a three-month tour of North America. He is world-renowned as a teacher, creator, director, and performer of mime, and has worked on stage, in films and television, and has three books to his credit. they’re probably not serious; more serious, anyway. With Sting, as with than episodic the Temptations, Otis Redding, Little Stevie Wonder, Eugene Record, The Beatles, the episodic dream is ephemeral, a sidestep to everyday drudgery like the depression of the blues, the flightiness of disco. (Still, the moment’s nearly preserved on vinyl.) Sting doesn’t mess with love unless it’s longlasting; and even then, there’s the fear of rejection through warning, urging the listeners not to get tangled in love. More comfortable with calling close folks friends, as in "Best Friend," Sting is not only playing the safe game by dubbing the short lived, “short-lived;” it’s appealing at a mass level. The energetic, Reddingish vocals are made potentially frivolous with cute backing vocals singing “be-do, be-do” to every serious word. See, for young people the stagnant is boring; this is eternal. And overly-suslained energy can be banal. But Sting tells it the proper way, without pretense, something the poppy Spinners could rarely accomplish because of concern with the . . mellow and mellifluous in life. Well, Harold Goldberg I’ve been aching to write about a soul/disco record called Pleasure (ABC Records), the work of a group named Sting. They’re a little preach, a little emotion, a little humor. As far as I'm concerned, Sting’s Pleasure was as noteworthy an event as last year’s Al Green record and Funkadelic’s One Nation Under a Groove. ’Cept Sting "didn’t move, probably because they’re on the ABC label, a company which has had trouble promoting Steely Dan. It’s because of ABC’s indiscretion that none of the band’s individual names appear on the record. Either that or Pleasure's a producer’s record like those of disco geniuses Cerrone or Patrick Adams. Vup, just as young, ignorant leftists blame Rockefeller for controlling everything, the producer is credited for the whole record because the music is incidental tothe production work. Pleasure is the purest dream record tempered by philosophy (a wet dream in itself) that I’ve heard in quite a while. “Without Love (It Don't Mean A Thing)” combines sexuality with asexuality and soul/disco in a way that’s both thinking and self-serving. Sex without love is disdained as uninspiring, but the act’s done anyway for want of anything else. The idea is not so much to preach pleasure of the flesh as to tell of boredom’s pain; this isn’t outrightly admitted. As on "Do It In The Shower” the synthesizer here always seems tp be smirking funk as if to laugh at diversity in the human condition. Aside from some metaphoric sentimentality, I’m trying to say that you’ve got to wonder how serious any of the lyrics are. . The lead vocalist (male) is somewhere between Bill Withers (less mournful, though) and Eugene Record (not as smooth). The lead vocalist (female) is like a hyped-up young Martha Reeves or Diana Ross, though her voice is somewhat grating. She shouts like Olive Oyl did in that famous "Dancing Shoes” Popeye cartoon or like Scarlet O’Hara in Gone With The Wind (the movie). A few songs are intentionally disco, noticeably imitative. Still, Sting has a funk like lat& ’60’s stuff which means there’s a heart ’neath it all for all us mickey-fickey scarecrows. Even the asexuals can’t hide it sometimes. Jesse Colin Young, American Dreams (Eleklra/ Asylum) Jesse Colin Young’s American Dreams is an album that tries to make a real statement about our lives. The statement itself is a valid one, but its medium won’t make much of an impact on anybody hence, said statement is soon forgotten. Only Young’s fans will ever hear it. This is largely due to the fact that all the listenable music is on side $ne of the album, and side two with the heavier "American Dreams Suite” is lyrically worthwhile but largely melodically uninspired. DJ’s, .) even at the "progressive” {chuckle, chuckle, sigh stations, will probably only play side one. If you were given this album, you’d probably only play side one. So much for meaningful messages, Jesse. The first side contains simple songs of love. One, "Maui Sunrise,” is an ode to an island, not a woman, but the feeling is the same. Highlights are the 1957 "Rave On" and Steve Cropper & Eddie Floyd’s "Knock on Wood” (sounding a lot different the way JCY does it). He also incorporates a laid-back disco beat in “Slow and Easy,” in an effort to keep up with the times that works pretty well for him. "American Dreams Suite," side two, is held together by a common theme a love for this country, mixed with a great fear for its future. The segments all blend together, with repetition of catch phrases that borders on redundancy. The beats and melodies often change very little from segment to segment, so that one has to sit with the lyric sheet to tell when he’s moving to a new idea. There are, however, worthwhile domments to be made here. “City Boy” describes the standard love/hate affair with a big city, something that Cashman and West’s “American City Suite" did with a bit more flair. “Music in the Streets” is a tribute to the spirit of the ’60s, and who better to do that than Young, for what if’s worth. The next segment.pays homage to the heroes of that time Bobby and Martin and John asking the musical question, "Can we Carry on the Dream?’ about fifty times, — — — .. and urging us all to do so. "Sanctuary” is especially bleak: "I see nuclear disaster/and it’s coming in my time/There is poison in the ocean/there is death upon the sea/for the hunter and the hunted/there .” This prospect makes will be no sanctuary Young “get scared and want to run away;” suicide is presumably in order, since escaping from America wouldn’t lessen the effects of a dead ocean or a nuclear war, should it occur. The finale of the “suite” is a plea, to all who are afraid, to "stay and run the country.” .. — There are important messages galore, but messages just aren’t enough in a musical forum. Young uses lots of strings, a horn section, and a twelve-person chorus on backup vocals to make side two more memorable and urgent-sounding, but it rarely works. A sentiment doesn’t need to be repeated to death for it to mean something. American Dreams was an attempt, at least, and it’s too bad it wasn’t a successful one. Had it been, the result would have been monumental. —Pat Carrington — - Media Study traditional artistic pantheon, but an involvement with the cultural life of the community for the purpose of development of new talent and the development of public interest in that talent. Media Study is involved in every facet of the community aspect of the personal acts ef creation and appreciation. Artists are given the tools they need and given a chance at the necessary funding important in the recording arts; aspiring artists are provided with the training they need; exhibitions —continued from page 11— . . . give the artist opportunities to share his work and the art-lover opportunities to enjoy them; and for those who want to understand the media arts better, the proper tutelage is supplied. From raw talent to working artist to artwork to public appreciation, Media Study is there. The local flavor of Media Study is also symptomatic of new trends. One can go to any major art gallery, symphony hall, or movie house and get little or no sensation of the city in which the institution is located. But at Media Study, the accent is on the immediate region. There is a wide and voluable dialogue with Western New York. This is of great value when one considers that all great artists have started in some locale. Who is to say that Buffalo can’t be the birthplace of great talent? Organizations like Media Study/Buffalo are making sure that those who have the talent receive the opportunities they deserve. �Herbert: stuck in time Yes. Dune is a classic and stands as a seiminal work of science fiction; a beautifully woven fabric of philosophy, setting and intrigue that still contributes to the general and academic acceptance of science fiction. Yes, Dune won the Nebula and tied for the Hugo. But Dune was 14 years ago, and neither of the two sequels earned lasting notice. Nor has any other book by Herbert. On the front cover of his latest work, The Dosadi Experiment (Berkley Paperbacks, $2.25), is printed a gentle reminder of Dune’s success. Indeed, JkitMJlecaii the cause of the crisis which prompted the Gowachin plotters to draw him in: the Dosadi have grown tough and clever, arriving at the realization that they are imprisoned.

Unfluctuating law inevitably protects the rich and powerful, as is well-proven today. Gowachin law tests the qualities of all who choose to employ it. Unfortunately, Herbert only pokes at this, leaving the bulk of the novel toother He discovers ; matters. Herbert top 'Dune'? Highly unlikely. Avoiding comparison, it is Useful to keep in mind that Herbert is no novice. Herbert’s writing here has a distinctive flavor reminiscent of the paper on which it is printed. He tends to chop up conversation with prolonged thoughts between each statement, making dialogue difficult to follow. He seems to have a fear of confrontation; by constantly injecting his omniscient view, he denies life to his characters. In 343 pages, he doesn’t allow his characters the vivid lives they preventing their emotions and reader demand interest from building. He tends to use italics, exclamation marks, and one-sentence paragraphs to interject false liveliness and tension into essentially flat, dead prose. The book lacks imagery, dragging along one-dimensionally by its plot and ignoring many intriguing possibilities. The Dosadi Experiment is an interesting, well-plotted book weighed down by plodding prose, wasted words, distant characters and incomplete concepts. Herbert takes us from beginning to end and accomplishes nothing. John Leonard of The New York Times wrote that Herbert “is back to confound us again.” Sadly, it is with a disturbing failure. The science fiction community has largely passed The Dosadi Experiment by, immune to blurbs, attempting to sell one book on the strength of another. The casual science fiction reader is advised to follow suit. Mark Cotta ®UabT“1 COFFEEHOUSE CALENDAR FREE EVERY FRIDAY IN THE RATHSKELLAR FROM 8:30 11:30 pm UUAB WILL SPONSOR AN OPEN MIKE! - Sat.

But as soon as something different comes along, people object. If some of these zeroes would listen to the music such as that by the Ramones, maybe they wouldn’t bo so quick to put it down.

It-was found that SUNY has invested over $7 million (market value) in U.S. corporations that are involved in South Africa. Nearly 20% of total U.S. Foreign investments are in S. Africa. Why do investments there yield such high returns? U.S. corporations pay black workers starvation wages. The average income of a black African family is $84 per month, while the official South African government Poverty Datum Line estimates that $148 is necessary for what they consider bare necessities. Meanwhile, banks such as Chase Manhattan (Marine Midland), Citibank, Morgan Guaranty Trust and Manufacturers Hanover are active in providing huge loans to the S. African regime. These loans are n|le. especially useful in maintaining white minority against is used hardware which military They buy the black majority and help to-cover the trade deficit S. Africa faces. Here at UB we play an indirect but significant role in thte system of apartheid. All the SUNV POOL schools participate in what is known as the monies are ENDOWMFiNT FUND. These intendedis for investment, 80% of which is from UB and collected from, among other things, our tuition. The pool endowment is handled by the MARINI MIDLAND BANK.

Caltrex and Mobil for two examples purpose, however repressive. When observing such atrocities as the S.

It is the American investment and corporate presence there that provides the supporting pillar for S. Africa’s apartheid regime. Like scores of other American universities that in S. Africa. SUNY’s stockholdings help maintain white minority there. These past few years thousands of students have been involved in protesting their campus investments in S. Africa. Already, the University of Massachusetts, University of Wisconsin, Yale and Columbia have succeeded in pressuring their Board of Trustees into divesting. Divestment doesn’t mean losing money for SUNY. Those stocks cao be sold or reinvested in other corporations (which don’t support South Africa). It is possible to switch to a bank which doesn’t make loans to South Africa. Here at UB an Apartheid Study Group-has recently been formed.

Be sure you know, definitely, before you enter, the make, model, style and year of your car. If you don’t know, look in the car’s manual arid write it down to save trouble later. To perform the lune-up, you’ll need a point set, rotor and condenser (these distribute the spark) and spark plugs. Although some common Ford'and GM cars-tlUVe tune-up kits that can be bought at discount stores, most cars never seem to take the ones available. These kits have all the above mentioned parts (except plugs) and usually cost somewhat higher than purchasing them separately at the parts store. The basic tools needed are; a spark plug wrench, screw driver, feeler gauges and a spark plug gapper tool. (And you thought this was going to be some sort of complicated ritual!) The above are available at most auto stores for very reasonable prices. You may wish to have a small pair of pliers handy for little pieces that will inevitably drop. If you can manage, three hands are very helpful later on, but after some practice, two will suffice. To set up the job, get all of the above mentioned parts in front of you. These should be the tools, spark, plugs, manual and point/condenser/rotor set. Now you’re ready to go.

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

St. Lawrence University became the first team since 1973 to unseat the Bulls as team champions, scoring 107 points to UB’s 73*/2. Colgate and Brockport State also finished higher than the defending champions with team scores of 97 and-Sl'/i points, respectively. All three Buffalo wrestlers in the final round met opponents from St. Lawrence, and two were victorious. Tom Jacoutot defeated John McHugh, a Sweet Home graduate, 15-1. Paul Curka had a tougher time than expected before besting Wes Audsley 9-3. Td Tyrell was beaten in his final boul by Barry Barone 5-1. Other place winners for the Bulls were Tony Oliveri (third), John Hughes (sixth), and Butch Bottone (fifth). Of the three, Hughes ran into the hardest luck. He suffered a serious knee injury as he Won his quarter-final bout, and he had to forfeit his remaining matches. He is recovering from surgery performed this week. When asked about the tournament, UB coach Ed Michael expressed disappointment. “! felt that we could win," he said, “and our team wrestled well as a group.” He pointed out that the injury to Hughes was critical. “He could have placed first or second if it weren’t for the knee giving out on him.” The coach felt having Hughes for the final would have given the rest of the team a lift. Michael also jumbled his line-up for the tourney, giving Jim Griffin a shot at 150-pounds and having Tom Egan, Scott Slade, and Butch Bottone wrestle one weight class up. Griffin is a natural middleweight, but he had been forced to fill in at 177 pounds to find a spot on the team. As a result, he had been overmatched by stronger, more experienced heavyweights. Unfortunately, this strategy did not work out to UB’s advantage because only Bottone went home with a trophy. Coming up for the Bulls is the season’s final dual meet against State University Conference (SUNYAC) champion Cortland State. Saturday afternoon, 2 p.m. at Clark Hall.

Certainly Keith Sawyer has proved to be the spark in Buffalo’s latest turn around sa three-game winning streak after dropping three in a row scoring Six goals against Potsdam and Brockport in the two home wins. His four-go*! performance Friday night, the first Texas hat trick by a UB player this season, coupled with captain Ed Patterson’s three tallies, paved the way for the Bulls’ 9-2 drubbing of the Potsdam Bears. On the following evening, a rejuvenated power play (five goals) as well as a pair of scores by both Sawyer and Tom Wilde were the key factors in - - .Buffalo’s 8-2 wipe out of Brockport’s Golden Eagles. “We really needed the two games,” revealed UB defenseman Rich Mac Lean, “to get the momentum going into 'the feeling, and provided insights of their own. ‘‘It was a fun time, admitted Patterson after pumping in three scores. “They didn’t throw too much offense at us, and we scored a bunch of goals.” ” Momentum “We’re picking up steam going into the playoffs,” said Sawyer, whose “green line” (with the help of Tim Igo and Don Osborn) has emerged as a powerful force in the Bulls’ recovery. “Everybody’s playing well, and 1 know the ‘green line’ can keep it going.” Even UB coach Ed Wright was gratified at the sight of meaningful victories. “Both were big games for us, understated the levelheaded . coach. “They ” were important, even though they weren’t against powerhouses. We played well and got solid goaltending.” Indeed, although evei so subtly and unjustly hidden by the lopsided scores, the magnificent goaltending of Bill Kaminska machine that is otherwise dubbed the “red line", made up of 28-goal scorer Wilde, Patterson and Brien G row Together they have contributed more to the IIB offense than any other trio, sometimes takipg sole credit for some of the team’s triumphs during the long season. Lately, though, they have had to share in the glory with names such as Sawyer, Igo and Osborn, the “green line” components who have suddenly alive. their cohesiveness. “Our line’s working together now, the way we know we can,” contributed Sawyer, Buffalo’s latest 20-goal scorer.

The name that stands out in both areas is Rich MacLean, the defenseman Igo calls “the greatest playmaker I The one consistent source of satisfaction has been the scoring aptitude for physical play, along with a blistering shot anchored Buffalo’s solid defensive effort.

The basket was good, Bouie drew the foul and the Bulls opened up a three point lead. Though such efforts were individually dramatic, the Buffalo cagers’ total effort went from excellent to pppor in the space of five minutes.

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

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

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

Completely bogus Schwartz called the Council idea “completely bogus.” “The Council was put there for political to placate the strong reasons .. — opposition to a divided undergraduate division,” he charged.

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

The committee also agreed to close the financially troubled Porter Cafeteria in the Ellicott Complex. Although FSA could afford to keep the unit open if it was needed, Darcy said, “It’s gotten to the point where it just doesn’t make sense.” who find service Darcy admitted that somfc faculty at the Student Club intolerably slow may be disturbed hy the closing but he left the door open for reconsideration. The Student Club, envisioned as a snack area originally, has become a major traffic center during mealtimte.

Movement of a refrigeration unit and a personnel specialization plan have just been instituted to lighten traffic flow Wofkers will now be used only at their best area at the grill for example to speed service. T' Darcy said the drain on FSA money caused by tax payments on a 50 acre plot of land in Amherst may one day hurt Food Service. As FSA’s only remaining profit-making unit -The bookstore is now operated by Follett, Inc. Food Service might be forced to keep the financially ailing Craft Center afloat while paying taxes for the FSA land, Darcy said. Presently, FSA is using funds obtained through the sale of the bookstore as reserve cash to back both the land and'the Craft Center. FSA’s service branch, which includes linen and dry cleaning service, is a break even operation, according to - — - • - — j Darcy. Although FSA is a non profit corporation, Darcy said, its units are not barred from making money. Usually the money is channeled back into the unit. Food Service profits, for example, are returned to that area to improve quality. Tentative plans departments announced they would return to three-credit courses. Next year a student would only average 15 credits per semester even after taking five courses, totaling 120 credts after four years of study. Currently, 1 28 credits are required for gradiation. With this in mind, Peradotto proposed a tentative format for grandfather clauses to his Curricular Committee last week. However, Wednesday Peradotto told The Spectrum that he and his committee arc not yet sure of the exemptions. He explained that seniors may only need 126 credits for graduation, while perhaps juniors and sophomores would be required to have 124. Next year’s freshmen, of course, would not be encompassed by grandfather clauses because they would enter under a totally new system. / Justification Peradotto also said-he is studying the number of courses each department requires in its major, Athough students may still have to take the" same number of courses within a given major, they will be earning less total credits. However, Peradotto maintained, students in a major now and possibly sophomores who havy planned on enrolling in certain programs will not have to take more courses in their major to compensate for the corresponding reductions in credits. Peradotto, who along with his associate, Walter Kunz, proposed delating implementation of the Springer Report a decision that was rejected by University President Robert L. Kelter said there still are some problems., “Frankly,” he said, “1 wish there was more time to examine program changes on a program-by-program basis.” — — — — He noted that departments which have requested certain courses be exempt from the carnegie unit standard are being studied very carefully. However, Peradotto said, because of the hurried tirretable, he is assuming that “academic justification (for altering the credit value of courses) took place at the departmental and faculty level.” A LOOK AT ENGINEERING TODAY — Test for a Lifetime Be Prepared — Course* John Sexton Test Preparation courses offer you distinct ad vantages in preparing for these an •Best, most rseent materials •Counseling Substantive curricula ( not just timings I • Team instruction by a superior faculty •Practice exams •"hive" instruction I not just tapes I •Substantial study materials Extra help sessions tGMAT Classes now forming for March 17, test • • important all week during engineering week Feb. 18 24. — John Seaton's LSAT &GMAT Engineering Library; see the original scale model of the Amherst Campus Science & tests — — Play computer games Rocket Belt - — Compare John Sexton Course advantages with others, then for information call -J good The need for grandfather clauses became evident when many Traffic center GMAT The Plant Place Inc.

"Frankly,'’ she said, “I’ve given up trying. I called Dr. Ketter a number of times and couldn't get through.” Love Canal Surrounding the former Hooker Chemical Corporation dumpsite is a calmly suburban neighborhood lined with trees and simple, one-family homes. There are no stomach-turning disaster scenes, no windswept desolation or smoking ruins, in fact, nothing to place the Love Canal area out of the ordinary except the hand-painted emblems of the embittered residents cardboard signs like: HOME LOR SALE. BUY AT YOUR OWN RISK These risks faced by the Love Canal homeowners are unseen, vaporous horrors that may hide from detection for years or, in some cases, generations. The fear of these people is a special, bone-chilling fear of the unknown. They are scared of the polysyllabic labels science has given to industry's poisons; they are safed of the statistics showing unusually high levels of birth defects and other diseases; and they are scared of the near total financial loss their homes now represent. But they fear their ignorance most; their helpless state of not knowing how dangerous their environment is and moreover their utter reliance on the State Health Department’s research, research they do not trust. - - Achieving nothing U is precisely that fear of the unknown and a mistrust of what is known that led Love tanal Homeowners' President Lois Gibbs to turn to SUNY Buffalo for help. The University responded with the Love Canal Task Force, which two Love Canal analysis months later disbanded after achieving absolutely nothing for the homeowners or the State. The Task Force’s ineptitude leaves hanging the homeowners’ near-desperate need for scientific expertise the kind available at New York State’s largest publiclysupported research center. The University’s utter failure to involve faculty in the Love Canal crisis contrasts dramatically with the success of individual professors who acting on personal initiative have moved into the area with research that has greatly benefitted the homeowners and in some cases the State. The Love Canal crisis is certainly Western New York’s most serious environmental problem since the University joined the State system in 1962. The Environmental Protection Agency lists 638 toxic dumpsites across the country that pose “significant hazards” 399 in New York State alone. The Love Canal has thus drawn nationwide attention as the first chemical time-bomb to go off. It is likely that the Niagara Falls dumpsite has merely opened (he book on the horror story of inderminate length. -»• — Gibbs said the homeowners are still in need of experts pediatricians, epidemeologists. toxicologists, lawyers and even behavioral psychologists. “The*; is a Igt of breakdowns and emotional stress,”she observed.

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

' EditorinChiel - no response from Lee begun his research at the Love Canal site. Why Was Lee with no prior involvement in the Love Canal and extensive duties as Dean of the Engineering School picked to chair the Task Force over Lbert? “1 honestly don’t know why,” Ebert said. “I really don’t know,” University President Robert L. Ketter told The Spectrum. Ketter said he was absent from the institution at the time and that Executive Vice President Albert Somit selected Lee. Somit is now on leave. Buf the choice of Lee proved to be a crucial one as he effectively halted the University’s entrance into the Love Canal while Ebert plunged in with his own work. Lee, of course, is one of Ketter’s closest allies on campus and the co-author of the President’s just-completed book. Gibbs’ hope for a "Blue Ribbon” panel sounded naive and impractical to many academics here. But the basic idea a pool of University-based expertise that the community or even the State can draw on is not without precendent. The School of Management, to the applause of the business community and the central leadership here, created the Regional Economic Assistance Center (REAC) last year, REAC is a pool of management expertise to Which local - - - - danger ; level and the number of families th at must be ref the State is also bearing the costs of relocations it is in the State’s best interest to u nderestimate hazard.

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

News Editor In a judicial versus legislative conflict over authority, the Student Wide Judiciary (SWJ) has thwarted the Student Association (SA) Senate’s attempt to oust current SA officers. SWJ has granted SA President Karl Schwartz a temporary restraining order which effectively halts the Senate’s move to invalidate the November general elections called by then SA President Richard Mott. Although student government officials are unsure if the Senate will accept the court’s ruling, Schwartz plans to bring the case before SWJ to gel a final deternination on the Senate’s move. At Monday’s meeting, the Senate voted to’ invalidate last November s elections and to remove the current SA Administration from office. In its place, the Senate chose to reinstate the former student government officials. However, the November elections were ruled legal and .valid by the same court last semester after Senators brought the case into SWJ’s jurisdiction asking the elections be delayed. Since then the Senate had consistently refused to recognize resulting in the SWJ’s authority throughout the political turmoil present power struggle between the three branches of student government. - Temporary remedy SWJ, which heard the case brought by Schwartz Wednesday, ruled could be done to the student body and jurisdiction of a previous court would be defeated, thus the need fora temporary restraining order. However, the court’s decision stated, “This is not a decision on the constitutionality of the Senate’s actions, that irreparable harm but merely a temporary remedy that restrains the previous office holders from resuming their positions pending a full hearing on the issues. SWJ Chief Justice Scott Epstein said he would notify Schwartz and Executive Vice President Joel Mayersohn of the court’s decision on the behalf of the Senate. Epstein said he has “no idea” when the case will receive a full hearing, .but he thinks “sometime in the very near future.” The invalidation motion passed at Monday’s Senate meeting was who ran unsuccessfully for Executive proposed by Turner Robinson Vice President in the November elections. Robinson’s proposal calls for a 10 member “Senate Committee” to oversee and check-up on the former SA officers who would be restored to power. - DO YOU WANT TO LEARN ABOUT SPANISH CULTURE AND THOUGHT?

The Senate’s insistence that SWJ does not have authority over SA puzzles University Student Affairs official Ron Dollman. He is not sure if Monday’s action by the Senate is an attempt to simply invalidate the November elections or overrule SWJ’s authority. Dollman told The Spectrum, “Over the last four or five years, we’ve been trying hard to establish SWJ as the judicial extension of SA, I thought we had reached a point of acceptance and competence. However, the Senate’s recent action brings into focus the question of if that role has been accepted.” Schwartz explained that he. feels SWJ-had no decision but to grant the temporary restraining order. Otherwise, the student court would relinquish its authority to the Student Senate. Schwartz said, “There’s no way they could’ve ruled otherwise. If they had done so, SWJ would have, in effect, made itself extinct. “Think of the precedent,” he noted, "if every time the Senate didn’t like" the ruling of its judjetary, it decided to overrule it. Why have a judiciary?” . Appeal Dollman noted that there is a higher court a student Supreme Court where the Senate could have challenged SWJ’s original decision to postpone the November elections. He said, “It hinges upon whether they [the Senate) accept the court or not.” Schwartz, who would return to his position of Acting President if the Sepafe’s move was instituted, said he asked for a restraining order from SWJ because he did not believe, the old office holders would “flock” to Talbert to take over their offices. Schwartz remarked, “However, I’m attempting to add a bit of legitimacy to this mockery of a sham. Therefore, when the Senate decided to confer upon itself a role not granted in any-SA constitution I’ve seen recently, I decided I’d call them [SWJ] on this one.” Although no court date has, been set, and the Senate has not decided if it will accept SWJ as a legitimate body for the future case, the politically torn Student Association will continue to operate under its present leadership. — - ROGRAM OFFERS THE UNIQUE OPPORTUNITY OF living for six weeks with a Spanish family; taking courses in the language, literature, and thought of Spain and getting full credit mdergaduate or graduate student; 'visiting Madrid, one of the most exciting an capitals, and Salamanca, a traditional center tish culture; 4. tours, concerts, films and lectures. - Outstanding women It’s not too late to submit the name of your favorite faculty or staff woman at UB for recognition in our special women’s issue.

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

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

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

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

One of the first projects, undertaken was the rewiring of the building and the installation of a heat and smoke detection system. Another easily overlooked but equally important alteration was the elimination of barriers to the handicapped. According to Summings, the Museum of Science is one of a few in Buffalo that is buildings completely barrier free. In the face of ever increasing operating costs, the Museum has not found it difficult to obtain renovation funds. Major sources of money include Erie County, The City of Buffalo, private donors, local foundations, and corporations. operating The Museum’s is another budget story. According to Cummings, the city has ends involves tearing down walls in some areas. The recently completed Egyptian and Chinese artifacts room on the first floor is an example. Walls were taken out of several rooms to create one large exhibit hall containing interrelated displays of ancienf Chinese and Egyptian culture. Much of the renovation has been completed on the second and third floors. Major exhibits on include the second floor cut out allocations completely, leaving Erie County as the sole public funding source. Although the county allocated more in 1979 than in 1978, the museum’s request of $882,000 was cut to $850,000. “We’re working under tight conditions,” said Cummings, “but think we’ll find money elsewhere.” Steps have been taken to save money without affecting the quality of the museum.

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

At present, BUF plays about 40 of the new records released each month, which is a good percentage above those played on other album oriented stations. But if you notice, they’ll play about four cuts from Elvis Costello’s Armed Forces; if that number is indicative, then folks who are “highbrow” about rock music, which is a lowbrow by any other name, will be satisfied. With all this frequent change, I’m thinking that radio is like television, but the reverse is true. Ratings make change, surer than Indians make rain in Bugs Bunny cartoons. You take 30 radio stations in Buffalo with similar formats but they change soon as the ratings change except they don’t need millions of folks to not listen; a drop in a few thousand will do it. So there are variations on themes. There are more changes on radio than on television, and they’re slighter changes, too. But people listen to radio more slightly, too. t Thoughtful radio is passe except to cultists; the masses want to forget; BUF will try to make money by combining cult and massness. Good luck. Oh, they’ll take any suggestions you have; their New Wave shown Sundays features local artists; their jazz show on Sunday mornings is comprehensive, if it’s too much into fusion; their upcoming series "Live from the Agora Ballroom” will feature Costello, Patti Smith, Zevon, etc. —Harold Goldberg �i Valuable rubbish Doctors, plumbers, housepainters, bank tellers, shoe salesmen, interior decorators, waitresses, insurance brokers, and go-go dancers never h?vc to justify their jobs to anyone. Why then do people expect me to? Despite all that I have labored to communicate, I am still asked with depressing regularity why I bother myself weekly with so unworthy a subject as television. The unspoken accusation is that I am wasting my time and could better occupy myself with darning socks, making jelly sandwiches, and cleaning the unsightly soap scum from my soap dishes. What really disturbs me is that this accusation often comes from people who read my column. Have failed so completely that people don't even know why I write much less what it is I write?

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

Halloween has simply taken the worst aspects of every grade B horror flick you’ve ever seen on the midnight "Chiller Theater” and heaped them together to’form a cacaphony of cliches and absurdities sure to disappoint anyone interested in novelty or intrigue. There is no need to see Halloween because you’ve seen it all before time and time again. It all starts way back on Halloween ,when little Michael, evidently annoyed at making out no better than Charlie Brown on his trick or treat route, decides to knife his sister. Sis, curvaceous pnd naked, has just finished smooching with her boyfriend who of course leaves her alone — TRANSIT DRIVE IN TRANSIT ROAD AT MILL ERSPORT G25 8b3b 3 Big X Rated Hit Sweet Georgia 7:30 pm Chorus Call 9:00 Masterpiece and is helpless against her pint-sized brother. Mikey stabs her repeatedly as she whimpers, "Oh, oh, oh,” and then toddles outside to greet his parents, wielding the massive murder weapon the hay Fifteen years later, Michael has become an unspeakable ogre, and as his doctor (Donald Rleasence) explains to a nurse, must never be released from the state mental institution. No sooner is this warning out of the doctor’s mouth than does Michael attack the nurse, steal her car, and head back to where he butchered his sister as a kid. The doctor offers the nurse no help in her life-and-death struggle with Mike, and returns only seconds after the monster has hit the road. The story centers on Linda, played by Jamie Lee-Curtis, who plays a game of hide-and-seek with the monster. Curtis, an angular, sandy-haired girl, and one of the few pleasant surprises in this movie, portrays the typical beautiful high schooler who can’t land a date. The monster has chosen to terrify her, and pulls an appropriate number of “follow the girl then disappear when she notices you” pranks. Rolling in Straight A idiot The first to go is Laurie, who gets strangled and stabbed in a van parked in a darkened garage and ends up with her head lodged against the honking horn a remarkably original approach. Next is Annie’s boyfriend, — impossibly nailed to the wall with a knife that would have to be three times longer than it was to keep him posted. Finally it’s Annie, who, appropriately clad in nothing having just participated in one of the fastest and least memorable acts of sex in the 70s gets choked while speaking to Linda on the'phone. - FREE ELECTRIC HEATERS High school brains lobotomizedby monster - So what does Lioda do? She does what every other intelligent young woman would do; walks straight to the house, unarmed and roams around inside without ever turning on a light. Mind you, this is the same girl who can’t get any dates because she's too smart. After the monster pushes her down the stairs, she gets up and dashes back across the street and, after a breathless, truculent battle, stabs the monster with a knitting needle, presumably killing him. But this straight A student leaves the huge knife next to the body which, of course, is alive.

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

Conclusive facts are withheld by the playwright until the last possible moment, providing for a gripping finale. Director Warren Enters always does his best work with a professional company. In fact, his artistic forte is in casting actors with the correct presence and the proper talents for a role. From the leads to the walk-ons, the acting is fine. Of particular note are Allan Frank and Sallyanne Tackus. Peter Evans portrays the young priest kivard accurately, if a little overly guilt ridden.

Shown successfully oh Broadway a few years ago, the play deals with the early 19th century murder of a nun. The primary suspect in the crime is a priest who was her immediate supervisor. Not only is Father Rivard thought to be Sister Rita’s murderer, but there is evidence indicating that he was also her lover. Theater often affords us a look into the lives of others.

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

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

Welcome to the corporate 70’s where consumption is, well it’s constricted. So that's why I love the Clash! The band began with the Anarchy '77 circuit whereby they joined ta tour de force Sex Pistols in trying to create an awareness on the streets again. They tried to tear down the established group system, the coldness and depersonalization of rock n’roll. The Pistols tried but failed with Malcolm McClaren at the helm. And they blew it musically when they kicked out the melodics of bassist Glen Matlock. All that officially remains of the nucleus to the generation proper is the Clash. -continued from page 11 They've had their share of busted heads and gobs and nights in the jails. The Clash audiences have also been targets of pigbouncer brutality (one night in particular at the Glasgow Apollo fans were dragged from up the attitude of most artists.

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

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

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

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

Tirari Porter supports with his bass and vocals, but the guitar work of Jeff Baxter is virtually unheard, which could be one of the big mistakes of the record. ft’s not that the songs are dull they’re not. The Doobie’s still hold that same flowing vocal tonality and sense of natural with Michael harmonization, McDonald and Patrick Simmons taking op most of the lead vocals. — I Clash's grand tradition (which has as much personality as a dial tone) goes platinum (“I’m so bored with the USA but what can I do?”). - Clockwork Orange Blue Oyster Cult headman and producer of the new Clash Ip (Sandy Pearlman) has proclaimed the group as the greatest rock n’ roll band today.

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

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

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

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

For example, overly only two periods. On January 27, the Tonawanda Sports Center Zaraboni left a hole in the ice while smoothing it out after the middle stanza, handing the Bulls a shortened, 4-3 victory. Tuesday night, the two cLubs met again, and even though the Cortland Zamboni worked fine, the third period was played merely as a formality, since by then UB had the win well in hand, leading 7-2. The last 20 minutes served only to produce two scores by Dragon Andy Larsen, altering Buffalo’s margin of victory to 7-4. Buffalo’s two solid periods produced its first triumph in four games and, unexpectedly, it was not the high scoring “red line” of captain Ed Patterson, Tom Wilde, and Brien Grow that led UB out of its losing streak, but rather the contributions (via four goals) of the “green line” (composed of Keith Sawyer, Tim Igo and Don Osborn), so named because of the color of their practice shirts. - Returns to score “They weren’t really good goals,” stated the humorous, self-effacing Igo. “Cortland had a very weak defense. They weren’t picking anyone up in front of their net.” Osborn, who recently returned to the Bulls after being out over two months due to torn cartilage and damaged ligaments in the knee, chipped in with a goal and three assists. “It’s tough coming back late in the season,” claimed the left winger. “The knee’s still kind of weak, but its coming along.” Sawyer opened the scoring at 5:20 of the opening period, when Dragon goaltender Mike Nelson failed to cover up a loose puck,in the crease, creating an easy tip-in chance for UB’s right winger. Jim Galanti then increased Buffalo’s margin to 2-0 with his“taTly and in effect may have shaken his line out of<a recent slump. “We (including wingers Paul Narduzro, Mark Werder) came out hitting; we were jusl buzzing all over the net,” said Galanti. “As far asjjhe goal, Dooz (Narduzzo) and Bus (Werder) did all f jthe work in the corner. They Swimmers cruise to victory over Alfred When UB and Alfred University have a scheduled swim meet, Mother Nature tries just about everything to prevent it from taking place. Last year’s meet was cancelled because of too much snow. This year’s contest was originally scheduled for January 17, only to be postponed because of a mono-nucleosis threat on the Alfred squad. The Monday night temperature in Alfred was 24 below-zero and to further complicate matters, the meet started so late that the 1000-yard freestyle contest was eliminated. Nevertheless, the Bulls overcame the elements and avenged their frustrations, handing Alfred a 75-29 defeat. Buffalo dominated the meet to such an extent that they took first event but one, the 200-yard freestyle relay in the final event. UB swimmers Chuck Niles and Jim Brenner added school records to go along with their double victories. Buffalo swimmers Mark Howard, Cesar Lopez, Jim Siepka and Jeff Lefstein started things off right by winning the 200-yard medley in 1:50.32. Brenner then took the 200-yard freestyle in 1:51.25 setting a new school record and an Alfred pool record. Buffalo coach William Sanford said, “I pitted Brenner against Mark Henline, who is their best swimmer. The victory gave us a good start and the momentum carried through the rest otthe meet.” _ — Coach wins Buffalo’s Don Brocklehust won the 50-yard freestyle in a time of 23.9. Niles then set his school record of : 59.9 in the 100 yard individual me ley. Diver Mike Doran continued his winning ways, capturing both the one meter required diving with 1:63.85 points and the one-rneter optional diving accumulating 230.95 points. Bruce Koffsky continued UB’s assault after the intermission, swimming to a ;58.65 time in the 100-yard fly. One of the more interesting races took place in the 100-yard freestyle. Niles, who had at one time coadied Alfred’s Henline, stood one* lane apart from his former pupil. The coach' gave the student yet another lesson, winning in a time of :50.9. Brenner then swam to his second victory of the evening in the 100-yard backstroke. Asi Sveinsson and Lopez closed the UB scoring for the evening, taking the 500-yard freestyle and 100-yard ' breaststroke respectively. Sanford praised the Royals swim team, who had made the trip with the memjbr their vocal support. “It was very spirited on our part. Alfred had only one spectator when the meet started and he was our bus,driver,’’ he noted. The Bulls travel to Albany tomorrow where they will meet Binghamton and Albany in the SUNY center meet. Chuck Kraus i i breaking of the slam out a ii two-man s first offender was Osborn Ison, giving physical games v while a Caqadiens-Maple Leafs contest is set to stir Canada’s pride. Somewhat similar,, the liockey Bulls and the Cortland State Red Dragons' have developed a trademark; the last two confrontations have lasted —McCloud ALLEY—OOP: A Buffalo diver perforins one of hit more nimble feats during a Bulls' 75—29 swim meet win over Alfred University. UB took first place in every event but one on a night when both teams had to brave the 24-degree below zero temperature to get to the meet. just as Corl Ivan t lie visitors a The Bulls continued to cheek the Dragons effectively in the middle period, penetrating through the dormant Cortland defense almost at will. The “green line" once again victimized the hosts’ resistance, breaking through for another Sawyer score at 5:36. Sawyer admittedly should have had more than two goals, commenting, “1 was pushing it too hard, I think. They were setting me up good, but 1 guess when you’re trying for them, they never conic.” The Dragons responded one minute later, with a good passing combination that ended in a Don Wolf tally from in front. Ahead 4-2, the Bulls then scored three times in a span of six minutes, insuring the victory. Igo capitalized on the temporary confusion in front of the Cortland net, slipping the puck high into the Nelson cage at 10:46. Following soon after, UB’s John Sucese received a late Christmas gift, when the Dragon netminder failed to clear his soft floater, letting it go between his pads. Patterson closed the scoring in the middle period with a superior individual effort, giving LIB a safe 7-2 bulge at 16:12. “Tommy (Wilde) gave me the puck, and we came down three on two,” recounted the Bulls’captain, “Their defensemen just split apart, and 1 just went right in between the two of them. Then 1 deked the goalie out and put it in. • Two at home ..“Overall, we weren’t really that were fortunate to win. They good a team, and we just played well enough to beat them,” Patterson summed up. Another who was not particularly pleased with the Bulls’ performance was their coach, Ed Wright. “There was no aggressiveness, no tenacity in the forechecking,” noted the harsh coach. “We were more or less going through the motions. We’re not playing the kind of hockey that’s going to win us a big one, which is what we need right now. We’re going to have to be able to play three tough periods and beat somebody big.” Buffalo will get- its chance tonight, when they host, Potsdam State, and tomorrow night, when Brockport State will visit the Bulls at the Tonawanda Sports Center, both contests starting at 7:30 p.m. �I Libraries % -continued from page 5. . . come through, could only be used to “catch up to where we were several years ago.” In the past few years UB has had to cancel many subscriptions to research periodicals due to rising costs. Should more money be found, the first priority for the Libraries would be to replace the cancelled periodicals. “So," Roy explained, “an addition in the budget really means nothing except that we can get back to where we were. It is not really an addition. Every year we lose out strength as a rese arch center," Roy said in tl “if the erosion continues, we won’t be of Research Libraries which consists UB is a member of the Association of 105 schools. F.ach year the association ranks its members according to a schools’ budget and its number of volumes on the shelves, tach year UB’s ranking has been sinking lower and lower. According to 1977-78' figures, which Roy said were favorable for Buffalo, this University ranked 55 in the number of periodicals. It was number 73 in acquisition of periodicals and 49 in total acquisi tion monies No formula UB's Academic Affairs Office conducted its own study of libraries in schools comparable to UB. Out of 23 schools, the Libraries here rated 19. Its best rating'came under the category of “Total Items Borrowed”, its worst ranking in “Volumes Added”. Both results reflect this University's ever increasing dependence on outside libraries for research materials. “Lach year it becomes more and more important for us to maintain our research collection,” Roy said, ‘‘but the State is not sympathetic.” DOB, as reported last semester in The Spectrum, has consistently refused to adhere to accepted formulas to determine the Libraries’ acquistion budget. This year, DOB had a novel excuse for Roy. “They said they would not listen to any formulas we had because SUNY Central was developing a new formula for the future,” Roy explained. However, SUNY’s new formula will not be ready until 1980-81, DOB will not accept the Office of Academic Affairs rankings, saying that the schools mentioned in the study are not comparable to here. “What do we do?" Roy wondered. Wrangle money DOB also slighted Buffalo in personnel. Roy had requested an additional seven lines to help run the Libraries many branches. All seven lines were denied by the State. Additionally , the State mandated that another seven lines be frozen during the year, thus cutting personnel more sharply. DOB also sliced the Libraries’ request for additional funds to cover the rise in the Federal minimum wage which UB pays its student help. “They reasoned that SUNY was exempt from the Federal law so they said, ‘you raised it (student’s wages), you find the money to pay for it’,” Roy recalled. Currently, the Libraries pay student help $2.55 an hour; DOB budgeted Libraries’ employees for $1.85 and hour. Roy said he would do his best to make sure that the Libraries' hours are not affected by the meager budget. “In fact," he said, “1 am trying to xwrangle money from somewhere to restore the hours cut in previous years.” While students will not be subject to a cut in hours, they will suffer a reduction in services provided by the Libraries. The necessary cuts will be felt “behind the scenes", according to Roy. “we are cutting services such as circulation and cataloging, meaning less books on the shelves,” he said. Hassett conflict University. "Ms. Stuart has added to CUNY a tremendous advantage of sharing philosophies of higher education which could be carried on in SUNY.” Dullea said Hassett has also fulfilled both roles professionally. Do justice Student Association of the Student Trustee member Steve Allinger did not recognize a definite conflict of interest in this case but said he could “see it happening in specific instances.” Allinger suggested that by dividing his time between Canisus and SUNY, Hassett could “not do enough justice to the 64 colleges of SUNY.” The student leader felt that system. Undergrads in O'Brian In other Library news, reliefs for law students, who have complained about the unnecessary use of the Law Library by undergraduates, may be forthcoming, according to Roy. In a meeting two weeks ago, several students, as wqll as Law Librarian apd'Professofr. Wade Newhouse. complained about the lack of study space for law students since “undergraduates lake up all the spaces.” Some law students requested that undergraduates be barred from the Law Library. Roy said the Libraries are now advising students to use the Undergraduate Library (UGL) unless they are working with law materials, “we have installed quiet areas in the UGL to combat the image that the UGL is a gathering place." he said. Roy added that nickel copying machines, which currently can only be found in the Law Library, will soon be placed in every library. “We hope that by summer, all 16 branches will have one and the use of the Law Library by undergraduates should decrease,” he said. x-' v»-. “ are ‘‘entirely too legislation percentage mandating of the that board a be composed of SUNY graduates.

The Farber case is sector. The another relates, on-campus organization revealed that it did have pictures yet was never questioned. “Medical Center News Director Spiros Andripolos told the police, ‘We have pictures you can come see them’”, said Fiduccia. To his knowledge, the Palo Alto police never went to see the hospital’s photbs. — Fiduccia found student government involvement at Stanford laughable. “1 think they passed a resolution condemning the search,” he said. “But they don’t know shit. They condemn everything form the harp seal slaughter to Idi Amin.” Eight-hour search Dt.ily is not the only newsgathering organization The affected. P'iduccia cited the cases of several other papers, as well as radio and television stations, both in-and out of California, that have been raided by local police department. They often go in looking for information on, say, a murder, and end up taking notes on a totally unrelated crime,” said Piduccia. “This could reduce newspapers to unofficial, unpaid investigatory branches of police departments.” One of the most flagrant • cases, he feels, was an eight-hour search of a California radio station. “Why would police want to search a radio station for eight hours?” he queried. “ The Sian lord Daily case is one of three crucial cases in agiowing pattern of judicial decisions unfavorable to the press.

Press coverage of Rockefeller’s new club peaked in 1973 directly after its formation. The New York Times ran a page three, six paragraph piece the birth. The most influential announcing newspaper in the country has said very little since. U S. News and World Report wrote that the new commission's main objectives were to reform the world monetary system and to aid Third World Nations. Those aims are a far cry from Huntington’s Latter page private Buying scared.. - Added strain Roy added that the erosion of research materials will put an added strain on the Inter-Library Loan office, through which students request materials from other libraries and have them sent to UB. “It used to be that we would lend more materials than we borrowed, now the situation is reversed,” Roy said. This marked increase in the use of the office means more personnel must be assigned to ease the burden. “Other services will not be available because I will have to move people to Inter-Library Loan,” Roy said. The Libraries also have come into conflict with SUNY Central in UB’s attempt tojjurchase a computerized circulation system. Roy said such a system would speed up all facets of the circulation department providing better service for students. “Albany, Binghamton and Stony Brook all have some type of computerized system,” he noted. “We have the money, but .for four years the project has been held up by SUNY Central for some reason.” Roy expressed hope that by the summer, SUNY will give the go-ahead for the installation of the there -continued from ... - apimendment conservatively. Since the Watergate scandal, the press has stepped-up its investigative reporting, finding scandals involving both the especially troubling because the decision essentially ignores the New Jersey shield law, a special peice of legislation designed to give' reporters exactly the kind of protection Myron Farber was State money and the private confidential source has become an accepted part of news gathering as bureaucracies tighten up on information leaks and employ public relations departments to handle the press. The three anti-press decisions not only coincide with this shift in journalistic emphasis, they are now threatening to blunt it. —continued from page I— . . . State aid to independent institutions has increased at an even slower rate, he maintained. Paley said that private schools must raise tuition annually, and need more state aid to prevent, “excessive tuition increases.” “Inflation,” he said, “is the enemy more than each other.” The sources of aid to private institutions are the Tuition Assistant Program (TAP), and Bundy Aid, said DeSantis. Bundy Aid is awarded only to private colleges based on the number and type of degrees granted. This practice, DeSantis said, leads to the main complaint of public school officals against the Aid, since Bundy Aid does not , discriminate between in-state and out-of-state students. In SUNY schools, he noted, non-residents are charged more for tuition. Unrestricted revenue In addition, the Professional Staff Congress of CUNY (City University of New York) charged in a November ’78 report that private schools are “totally unaccountable for the expenditure of state aid.” Pauly .said independent schools must..file reports, on all state ai(l expenditures with the State Education Department, as do SUNY and CUNY. He admitted state schools are subject to'more stringent guidelines, suggesting that the guidelines may be too strict. But the CUNY report cited a State Education Department review of Bundy Aid which stated that “Most institutions tend to use Bundy Aid as unrestricted revenue.” DeSantis asserted that independent schools tend to have two sets of numbers, one for individual contributors and the other for the State. Alumni and financial backers are told the school is in the black, he said, and “then the schools go to the government and they’re sinking fast.” 1 DeSantis compared support of independent schools to a grocery requesting slate money for his private shop. “Privates have cleverly and successfully clouded the issue,” he said.' \ �classified \ L AD INFORMATION CLASSIFIEDS may be placed at ‘The Spectrum* office, 355 Squire Hall.

Tlie Love Canal Task Force never met Editor in Chief Obscured by the individual efforts of a handful of concerned faculty members is the University's almost total lack of involvement in the Love Canal crisis. Events surrounding the disintegration of the so-called Love Canal Task Force show that the Administration failed to follow up overtures from both residents in need of scientific expertise and faculty members willing to lend it. Administration spokesmen then misrepresented the causes of the Task Force’s futility, claiming the State had refused to cooperate when in fact no University official had ever contacted any State agency or requested any information. No University official will conceed that outside pressures have chilled the Administration’s attitude toward the Love Canal. But the ’disappearance of the Task Force has left a curious trail of twisted truths, uncalled meetings and general ambivaleiice in place of homeowners’ hopes for an independent pool of expertise to hlep them evaluate the State’s findings. — again. Lee never contacted Gibbs, Levine, or Beverly Paigen a Roswell Park cancer researcher who had also begun work on the Love Canal independently. Lee never — contacted the State’s own Love Canal Task Force, although Paigen said she presented him with a name and number of one of the group’s supervisors. The list of questions from the homeowners reflects their near-desperate, almost pathetic need for scientific expertise. According to Lee, some of the homeowners’ concerns were: “What level of chemicals in the air represents danger?”; “Are all 10 [the number of chemicals then known to exist in the Love Canal) being tested?”; and “We need medical personnel to evaluate the health tests.” Regional approach At the center of the action and is Dean of the School of Engineering George Lee, who was named to head the University’s Love Canal Task Force. The Tasjc Force, formed in August -*• inaction — after Love Canal Homeowners’ Association President Lois Gibbs appealed to the University for help, was quickly renamed the Environmental Task Force to take the focus off the Love Canal and emphasize Erie County Legislator William Pauly’s suggestion that the University get more involved in general environmental problems throughout the region. Lee shifted the emphasis of the Task Force away from a consultant-based function toward a more academic stance aimed at educating the public environmental problems. about Although he pledged to act as “a clearinghouse” or gp-between for residents in need of advice and faculty members prepared to provide it, the only professors actively working at the Love Canal have done so on their own initiative, without a calf from Lee. Legal complexities Moreover, a list of concerns the homeowners had sent to Lee and a list of faculty members who attended meetings of the Task Force as a show of interest in the Love Canal, have remained shelved for month's, essentially forgotten. At the Task Force’s first meeting in August, about 40 faculty members showed up from a wide range .of disciplines. ‘ Geography professor Charles Ebert, who had alreay begun research at the Canal site, called the inital meeting “very disorganized.” Ebert said that, although interest seemed to be high, much of the discussion centered around the legal complexities and dangers of getting involved in a sensitive dispute such as the Love Canal. The Task Force met again in late September, drawing about 20 interested faculty. Lee circulated a sheet asking for names and areas of expertise while Ebert gave a short report on his work at the Canal site. Sociology professor Adeline Mistrust of State Almost since the State declared the area a health hazard, residents have charged that the Health Department has been underestimating the toxic effect of the chemicals seeping beneath their homes. The list presented to Lee thus mirrors the homeowners’ well-publicized mistrust of the State’s research. In mid-October, the announcement came that the Love Canal Task Force had folded. WhyT University Public Affairs spokewoman Linda Grace-Kobas told The Spectrum 'than that the State had been uncooperative in furnishing information. “As of the morning of October 16,” she said, “we received no reports from the State.” Kobas neglected to mention that, to her, knowledge, no University official had ever asked for any such reports, or made any written contact with State officials. “No, there’s nothing .written down about anything,” Kobas told The Spectrum two months later. Robert Huffaker, -continued on page 2— Senate continues battle with SA; declares SWJ invalid by Elena Cacavas “The Senate, in effect, ruled to put themselves in a role,” Schwartz said. “It’s ridiculous, irrational and irresponsible.” He cited section II, Article 2 of the SA consitution that establishes SWJ’s jusirdiction in matters concerning the constitutionality of any any of SUNY Campus editor judicial In another four-hour marathon session Monday the Siudent Association (SA) Senate overwhelmingly voted to postpone SA elections for new officers until April, while at the same time voting to invalidate the November 1978 general elections callecf by then SA President Richard Mott. Senate leaders, continuing a legislative war with the SA officers, apparently feel that their vote to invalidate the November elections removes the cuitent SA administration from office and installs the old regime until April. The November elections were ruled legal and valid by the Student Wide Judiciary (SWJ) but the Senate has refused to recognize SWJ’s authority. Those November elections have been the subject of unusual legislation before. The Senate, seeking every way to prevent the current administration from taking office, actually \pted to postpone the elections one month after they were completed. Monday’s action simply rules those elections “invalid.” The invalidation motion, proposed by Senator Turner Robinson r who ran unsuccessfully for Executive Vice President in the November elections —' also creates a ten member “Senate committee” to oversee and check-up on the executive committee. The Student-Wide Judiciary (SWJ) has been a continual thorn in the Senate’s side ever since the deposed officers brought suit in an effort to stop the November elections and lost the case to Schwartz. Since SWJ has approved the elections the Senate feels are invalid, the Senate has simply declared SWJ invalid, voting to. not recognize the body’s authority over any Association student governments. The Senate, by establishing a ten-member “Seftate committee” to oversee the SA officers, has also claimed some power from the executive branch to go with their new judicial “responsibilities.” “If the student body knew what went on at these Senate meetings,” Schwartz said, “they would become even more disenchanted.” In another eletion-oriented issue, an amendment was to the election rules directing all University organizations, and to avoid clubs, publications “influencing” SA campaigns with public endorsements. The amendment is subject to approval by the SA "■Op*«*Uons and Rules committee (O&R). Although the obvious target of the endorsement amendment is The Spectrum, the Senate also took steps to wipe out the paper by passing a petition for referendum proposed months ago by 37-year-old activitst Michael Levionson. The Senate’s action will senators hope put the referendum before the student body. recommended — - Springer — matter. Inside: ‘No comment—P. 3 / _ Repotting- on the actions within the SA Springer Steering Committee, Executive Committee member Scott Jiusto rSviewed. a statement concerning “grandfather clauses'” which will be submitted to the Division of Undergraduate Education Curriculum Committee for approval. According to Jiusto, the clauses gain support from the fact that students in the system now will be Rosenblatt-Roth—P.

Arguing that Springer (will not only hurt those already at this University, but also freshmen who have made a comriTltment based on literatures which indicate that UB operates under the four course load system, the steering committee will, according the Jiusto, pursue the issue through the courts. He told the Senate on Monday that the committee is seeking an injunction against the Univeristy seeking to halt Springer implementation in the Fall of 1979. In reference to the UUAB Music Committee’s over-expenditure of funds dtiring the first semester and what some senators termed Sub Board I’s failure to properly monitor and report on the Comrtiittee’s activity, a resolution was passed to form a group to investigate “the feasibility for SA to continue its contract with Sub Board 1 under UUAB.” Vice President of Sub Board I Jane Baum moved to pass the resolution by acclamation. Settlement negotiations A concrete decision was made on the four year law suit between Cavages and the UB Record Co-op. Passed by acclamation was a motion that SA lawyer Richard Lippes proceed with negotiations for an out-of-court settlement for a period of 30 days, during which he will consult with the co-op and Senate. If after that time the negotiations are unsuccessful, Lippes will immediately proceed with litigation. Although certain that SA will win either way, Lippes recommended settlement through negotiation. “If we go to trial it could take two or three years before litigation ends,” he said. Proponents of the litigation, however, cited the importance of the precendent of a commerical body suing a student organization.

"Everything I’ve asked for I've gotten. They have been mpre cooperative." He said he doubted the Task Force resistance had Levine both discussion of would have encountered it requested data. Ebert and said that there was no difficulties dealing with the State at either meeting of the Task Force. Back of minds The second reason Grace-Kobas gave for the Task Feme's disintegration was a lack of faculty interest. She said that since the State, and not the University, is performing the research, many scientists here are hestitant to work with someone else's data. “It’s been a problem to get these people together,” Grace-Kobas told The Spectrum in December. “Some people are reluctant.” When pressed for specific faculty who expressed trepidation about getting involved, Grace-Kobas said no one had actually told her of such a hesitation. “It's just probably in the back of people's minds,” she observed. “There are things a lot less heavy than this that people are reluctant to get involved in.” Lee could not explain why there was no third meeting but he did agree that some faculty had been reluctant. Many professors, Lee said, feared that they may be called upon for an opinion without enough facts to make a sound, reasonable Coupled with Lee explained. Ebert scoffed at the notion that scientists would, be trapped into giving hurried or incomplete opinions. “I have been in that situation many times,” Ebert observed. "And I simply say: *i can’t answer that’.” v Lack of leadership Paigen, who since the Task Force break-up has become a full-time consultant to the Love Canal Homeowners' Association, insisted that the University could have been a valuable resource in exploring the Love Canal. “Certainly,” she said, “there are a group of faculty members on campus who are interested. The Task Force could have been terrific. “Lee chose to play a limited role,” Paigen continued. “That was the deliberate choice he made. I would have hoped they would have taken a more active role.” Ebert, who has provided both the State and the residents with his findings and had flown to Albany to attend Health Department meetings as an informal consultant, told The Spectrum the Task Force broke apart because of a “lack of leadership.” “There was no third meeting. There could have been an appeal in the Reporter, memos sent to departments, phone calls anything. You can either sit there and contemplate your navel or you can go out - I — and really do something,” Ebert charged Lee stressed that he has tried to shift the emphasis of what is now the Task Force toward educating the public on the -depth of most '<■ environmental issues. “I*d like to proceed along those lines, to get everyone to understand the complexity of these problesm.” Lee said. “At the same time, if a specific question comes up, I will do my best to identify the right individual who might address it.” But the only questions that have come before Lee have been the original list Environmenal * ■ a list Lee said he “had no idea what to do with.” provided by the homeowners - m citings. And the State last Week announced data indicating that birth and, by implication, hazardous defects wastes extend to an area around the Canal once considered safe. Fears that the State was not telling the whole truth led the homeowners to request the University’s help, Roswell Park’s Paigen said. “They were really scared,” she explained. “They just didn’t have any answers and they needed someone to tell them if the approach the State was taking was a valid approach.” What they needed,” Paigen continued “was the kind of expertise available at the University. They needed an independent. University-based source precisely the thing the Task Force decided not to do.” No clearinghouse Thus, Lee’s shift in emphasis essentially removed the University as a force in the Love Canal disaster. The work of individuals Paigen, Ebert and Levine has been widely publicized and greatly appreciated by the homeowners and that work has in fact been encouraged by the - — - Everything we can “How do you answer these questions?’ Lee said. “They’re too general, too vague They’re essentially loaded questions.” “The difficulty is that we’re departmentalized. Faculty have their own area of expertise and their own method of inquiry. But within that frameowk. we’re doing everything we can to help the community.” Meanwhile, Lois Gibbs said she has “given up” trying to get the University involved in the Love Canal. The community of Love Canal families has, since July, been living in a state of fear and mistrust over the State’s findings. The Homeowners’ Association has consistently contended that bijth defects and other illnesses can be found in a wider area than the State is willing to admit. Tense, angry confrontations between apologetic State scientists distressed families have Association’s regular and characterized the - but Lee has yet to act as a University “clearinghouse” of any sort and, by his own admission, has not encouraged faculty to individually involve themselves in any - aspect of the Love Canal disaster.'

This engagement drew only five spectators though 5000 bagels were ordered to feed the expected audience. 1 Ins was perhaps the first indication of Baird Point’s slide into obscurity. Early in the fall University President Robert L. Ketter annointed Baird Point with his State of the University address. The event was a rainy, mudfilled ceremony, but Baird Point proved at least adequate for Ketter’s speech. n _ . , . . « >k wh*n*Buffalo's ““ Federa* from th* vwckina cr«n* Old Reserv# BuMding was Th sit* it de.m.d unsu itable for productions by the Theater Department and hw hardly been used.

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

Its remote location and uncomfortable _ • I ———— —— Ih 1 I< I lawn-seating totally confounds me.” Another student confessed he had ho knowledge of Baird Point. “I’m a commuter and most of my time is spent on the Main Street Campus. If anything happens there I’ll be glad to go but now it really generates no interest for me.” He further pointed out that the Point’s, location, along with the unpredictable Buffalo weather-, would not be conducive to an enjoyable evening at Baird. Random comments on Baird Point ranged from, “Must think my dog could lift a leg in high style there . .” “It’ll be really great when they complete the building that goes with the pillars”. - . x __ .

As a CUS representative, he said he found no reason to get upset with Ketter this year and complimented the President or fighting the proposed SUNY-wide tuition increase. Johnson, who is also an Anthropology professor, did admit that “there are certainly a number of directions the University could take if there were some sense of very strong leadership.” Sitting calmly in the eye of this mild storm is the University President himself, who seems rather unfazed byit all. Ketter, through his secretary, offered “no comment,” on the matter. XEROX® / . \DORIES JsaaBfflKS & wm& - 5 Thurs.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

S --688-0100—• �sports I U) Hoopster Bulls nipped in last minutes of play ROCHESTER Buffalo basketball coach Bill Huges had done his scouting homework prior to Saturday night’s contest with the Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT). “The game’s going to be decided by 10 points,” he predicted, “whether we win or lose.” Yet leading by three points with four minutes to play, the Bulls collapsed, with the help of the officials, and lost by less than 10; 55-52 to be exact. Having gope nip and tuck for 37 minutes, the Bulls clung to a slim 48-47 margin with barely three minutes left in the hard-fought contest. Buffalo had built up its advantage mainly on the efforts of forward Mike Freeman. Buffalo’s latest star topped the Bulls with 19 points and was perfect from the line, extending his free-throw streak to 24 out of 25 attempts. “There’s no question about it. Freeman had his best game of the year,'” enthused Hughes. Once RIT had obtained the last minute lead, Buffalo became frustrated by their own miscues as well as the officials. “I told the guys before the game that no matter how well the officials were calling it, all of a sudden there were going to be one or two calls the other way,” Hughes said. As it turned out, he was precisely right. The first one that hurt occurred late in the game, when UB was being pressed by a pesky RIT defense. “Some kid came flying over and knocked Freeman over,” the annoyed coach recalled, and of course no call." A second “questionable” whistle followed. “One of our guys just nudged someone at mid-court. The guy went to the line and hit two foul shots.” “The same thing happened to me with him five years ago,” Hughes remembered. According to the UB coach, that official will wait a long time to see the Buffalo blue and white again. Overall, it was not a typial showing for the Bulls. The usually dependable Tony Smith played 35 minutes before fouling out. Although he is customarily one of the offensive stalwarts for UB, Smith finished the evening without adding to the scoring column. “We had some key people let us down,” Hughes admitted, referring to no particular player. After the contest, he summed it all up for the first time all season by stating he was disappointed in the total team effort. “We didn’t go oat after this one, he noted. — ” UB bowlers strike Cornell hosts unique tourney; includes backgammon, frisbee Most of you are aware of UB’s competition with various other institutions in bowling, but did you ever catch a clash between UCLA and Notre Dame in chess, ping-pong, or for that matter, frisbee? The Association of College Unions International sponsors such events across the nation, and this past weekend, 19 UB students journeyed to Cornell University for the Region Two eliminations,— Perhaps Buffalo’s best representatives were both the men’s and women’s bowling squads. Currently ranked fifth in the nation, the Royal bowlers not only swept the overall team event, but had their own Sue Fulton capture the individual title as well. Fulton and Erie Community College (ECC)’s Sandy Tice were locked head to head in the nine game tournament. After eight games, they were in a dead tie at 1578 pins. Fultoirrolled an exceptional 202 in the ninth and final game to wisk by Tice, who fell off with a 154. As a result, Fulton will get to test her individual prowess in Tu son Arizona. Teammate Cindy Coburn finished up in third place, but her 182 average aided the Royals to a team victory over their arch rival ECC. The team must now contest other region finalists in either Boston, or Baltimore before qualifying for the finals in Milwaukee, where they finished third last year. ECC whupped The men’s bowlers did not come ip as highly regarded as the women, but surprised the field by rising to sixth place. They finished 15th last year. UB was second after two game, but dropped to seventh late in the meet. Teamed up against nationally fifth ranked' ECC, whom the Bulls had already upset two weeks ago, Buffalo moved up to sixth by again knocking off the Rats-. Buffalo’s Steve Shavel came back from a 9-3 deficit in the final round of the Backgammon tournament to gain first place over 16 finalists. In order to win, Shavel had to win 51 games over a three-day period. In billiards, again it is a UB student who will move on to the national tournament. Graduate student Bill Soules swept the field and must now test his talent at Ann Arbour Michigan, Had there been an overall school champion, UB would have been a sure winner. Enyi Okereke and Jack ,Chow, both Buffalo students defeated 12 teams to win the doubles in ping-pong. Okereke also placed fourth in the singles, Chow finished second. Distance and accuracy were the measures used to determine the top frisbee chucker. UB’s Randy West and Howie Klieger finished third and fourth respectively, missing the first place mark by six points. Buffalo partially hosted the ACU1 Tournament in 1977 with help from Buffalo State College. Held the same day as the famous blizzard driving ban was Director of Recreation Hall Squire Programming, Dusty Miller recalled a humerous incident.

Tyrrell, at 126-pounds, showed well in the 'SUNYAC’s, exhibiting one of his usual with the growing tradition of four of Buffalo’s best performers this year will be packing their bags for Arcadia, California, to compete in the Division ill Nationals to be held February 23 and 24. UB's Ed Tyrrell, Scott Slade. Paul Curka and Tom Jacoutot all qualified for honors this past weekend In SUNV Athletic Conference (SUNYAC) competition at Albany. Only' Slade failed to finish atop his category, ending up in the fourth and final qualifying spot for the Nationals. As a tribute to the quality of wrestling in the SUNYAC, the top four competitors are entered in the Nationals. Various districts across the country send wrestlers to the California event based on the conference’s Keeping up wrestling at UB, | Scott Sled* Ed Tvrrrtl winning performances. He hopes to keep from slipping in the nationals. “I’ll try hard, and hopefully I’ll come back an All-American,” he noted; but also warned he’ll be careful in the big event. Jacoutot and Curka are not exactly newcomers to the Nationals. After wrestling what he termed his best match in a long time, the M8-pounder commented, "In the past two Nationals, I wasn’t able to win a match. 1 sure hope 1 do well this time.” Curka, the super heavy-weight, will be making his fourth excursion to the exclusive contest. Undefeated in dual meets this year, Curka put everything he had into pinning his opponent in the SUNYAC’s. “I bore down, I Usually like to go the whole distance, but I was going to win as quickly as I could,” he disclosed, “because conservation of energy is important in tournaments. Getting ready to face the Nationals, Curka approached the matter philosophically. “It’s my fourth Nationals, I’ll wrestle as hard as I can, but potential and performance during the previous year, SUNYA£ sends four from each class, a substantial amount, thanks to the brilliant success of the 1977-78 who captured the Division 111 wrestling Bulls national crown. Slade was personally disappointed not to have finished first, but still has high expectations for the Nationals. “1 feel that I could have done better in the SUNYAC's, but I’m happy to be going to the nationals.” the 158-pounder admitted. “I hope to come back an All-American.” Buffalo coach Ed Michael shares the same optimism. “We’re looking forward to having several All-Americans,” the annually successful coach - Paul Curfct Tom Jacoutot performance are two different things.’” David Davidson Hockey Bulls —continued from . . page 12 , netting three unanswered goals in the closing period before Buffalo attempted a meek comeback and made the final score semi-respectable. Rick Pratt, Oswego’s freshman sensation, drelled a slap shot by Kaminska at 3:51 of the opening stanza, collecting his 33rd goal of the campaign, and giving Oswego a I-0 edge. Later in the contest, he bagged his 34th, shattering the Laker record for most tallies in a season. The Bulls evened the count at 4:58, when Bill Alico drove home his first goal of the year, beating Laker goalie Mark Edwards from the left point. “It’s about time,” remarked Alico of his virgin goal. At that point, Buffalo crumbled, failing to either clear the Oswego forwards from in front or mount an offensive surge of their own. “Our game is controlling the puck in their end, getting good shots and opportunities,” said UB’s Tom Wilde. “But we didn’t get anything, we were just skating around, afraid to hit, afraid to stick our noses in there and get rough with them.” As a result, Kaminska was virtually burdened with the task of stopping Oswego by himself. But even he could not deny the Lakers forever„and after limiting the locals to a 2-1 lead (obtained through a reboung score at 12:19 of the first period), Dave Stevenson and Rob Graf tallied in the second period, putting the game out of reach. *~ Scuffled third Oswego did not restrain itself to merely protecting its lead in the closing period, but rather increased it. A pair of freshmen, Pratt and Peter Herd, each bagged their second goal of the evening, while Kevin Flynn put in another all in the first eight minutes. Several arguments, scuffles, and outright fights marred the last 20 minutes of play, reflecting the type of feeling that prevailed on the ice. The usually physical Lakers and the frustrated Bulls were handed a total of over 30 minutes of penalties in the third period alone, including game disqualifications to Laker Tony Sgro and John Gallagher, UB’s 6’3” freshman. The two first-year players squared off after Wilde had scored at 11:43, His 25th goal of the season. “The guy butt-ended me in the stomach,” charged Gallagher. “And I didn’t retaliate. But then, when I was skating to the bench, going really slow, he kicked out my skate from underneath me, and that got me a little upset. So 1 dropped and we went at it.” Buffalo’s Keith Sawypr closed the scoring, cashing in on a break away. The Bulls will play Potsdam and Brockport at home on Friday and Saturday nights, respectively (both are 7:30 p.m, starts). Missing from action for the remainder of the season will be Dennis Gruarin. The UB defenseman sustained a broken ankle versus Geneseo. m\ MAxjHoujer BUFFALO PROFESSIONALS Move with buffalo • MAYFLOWER expert packing • electronic specialists proven cost control • complimentary estimates • trademarksof C8S me C CBS lor - Appearing at Kleinhans Music Hall Available at Cavage’s r • Feb. 25th WALT LINK 874-1080 300 WOODWARD A VENUE.

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

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

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

Project watchdogsjroiced nervpus criticism for the “hazardous manner” of removal and called for a posted warning and an area quarantine prior to .further corrective action. Under the orders of Robert Hunt. University Director of Environmental Health and Safety, workmen removed the asbestos ceiling in a basement piano room in order that other sound absorbant materials .could be tested. Students and faculty members were disturbed, however, to find the piano room open with no notice or posting of the activity that had occurred. Seeing that students were practicing in the newly scraped room. Music Department member Robert Hatten scrawled a warning on a piece of paper which directed readers to avoid the “polluted” area. About 500 students use the building’s cramped rehearsal rooms. After a meeting with Hunt on Friday, Hatten told The Spectrum that workers had been directed to use a vacuum to remove the asbestos. “Because of an 'apparent lack of communication,” he said, “they just scraped and then cleaned up.” Hatten believed that Corrective efforts tense debate over the health hazards posed by asbestos floating in the air of Baird Hall has distracted some Music Department members who teach and study there. The New York Public Interest Research Group (NYPIRG) announced on January 29 that the material used as a ceiling insulator could be endangering the health of the building’s occupants. A 1973 study nationwide declared that a minimal amount of microscopic particles in the lungs can cause mesothelioma an incurable cancer.

He commented the asbestos controversy erupted at the end of last month. He commented that for two years he has wanted “to replace all that” but money difficulties obstructed any efforts.'He stated that if funds are approved now, the asbestos ceilings in the basement practice rooms and hallways will be replaced. Hunt added however, “I can’t promise anything. The ceiling has to go, there is no question about that. I hope it will be done as soon - as possible.” Yet, as the beat goes on, nervous department members study and question the extent of the health under halfIWorkers orders to remove asbestos by vacuum, said Hunt —continued on page 2— —DIVinceno Nuclear emphasis damned Proposed power coop nixed by Joel DiMarco City Editor power cooperative, Empire State Power Resources Incorporated, (ESPR1), which was to raise capital for the electric The Public Service Commission has flatly rejected a (PSC)' proposal made by New York’s seven largest electric utilities to form a new corporation to build and operate new power plants in the State. meeting held each of the commissioners voiced seven During Thursday, a their disapproval of the venture and unanimously voted against it.

ESPRI’s member utilities, which were to include Niagara-Mohawk, Rochester Gas and Electric, Con-Edison and Long Island Lighting, would then buy their power from ESPR1 for distribution to their customers. The seven utilities had planned to invest $2 million to establish ESPRI and predicted that by the turn of the century it would raise $20 billion for capital construction. The utilities’ claim was that if each of the companies was forced to construct new power facilities of its own during that same period, all seven utilities would spend a combined total of $34 billion. Pass-through clause ESPRI’s proponents claimed that the $14 billion "thus saved would be passed on to consumers through lower electrical rates. But the utilities also wanted the right to automatically pass on to the consumer ail costs for building and operating the new plants. The utilities claimed this was essential to the plan “in order to assure potential investors that they will receive an adequate return on their investment.” However, PSC staff members objected to this “pass-through well as ESPRI’s heavy emphasis on the construction of nuclear power plants.

The $150 hike for lower division students is a slightly different proposal than had been talked about since the tuition hike was first hinted at in December. An $100 increase for all students was the figure most commonly mentioned when the tuition hike issue began to catch fire'across the state. SASU pressures The Trustees’ stand dearly makes the Legislature the primary battleground in the fight against the increase. Student Association of the State University (SASU) officials have already beguri extensive lobbying SUNY units efforts in Albany and have instructed student across the state to contact their legislators in an effort to marshall anti-increase sentiment. SA President Karl Schwartz has contacted several area legislators and has received a sympathetic ear from nearly all, he said. Although the tuition hike is not specifically mentioned in Carey’s executive budget, revenue is budget at an amount that assumes the $100 tuition hike. That budgeting tactic if upheld by the Legislature would force the Trustees to either hike tuition or cut expenses to match the non-existent revenue. . It is just that threat which led the Trustees to reluctantly go on — — — Inside: Our third look at grading policies—P. 3 / Equalize tuition The new hike proposal would equalize tuition for all undergraduates at $900. Wharton also proposed to the Trustees that unless the legislature chips in professional school tuition be hiked by $200 to - - $300. DPI reported Friday that the Trustees agreed SUNY needed $9.1 million more to finance new construction, buy library books and laboratory equipment and cover mandated increases in minimum wage. Much of the construction financing is required for Amherst Campus building. The $100 tuition hike proposal would have provided about $15 million in added revenues. The new proposal would amount to only the $9.1 million that theChancellor and Trustees feel SUNY needs. SUNY had requested an additional $78 million in its 1979-80 budget request. Carey and his budgetmakers recommended only a $32 million. Public vs Private SASU, a statewide student lobby headquartered in Albany, has attacked the tuition hike proposal since it was first raised. SASU was soon joined by several SUNY Presidents, including UB President Robert L. Ketter, who publicly denounced the hike as a “subsidy” for private education in New York State. Both Ketter and SASU have brought the public vs. private issue to the forefront, in the battle against a tuition hike, explaining that New York State gives more direct aid to private colleges that all other states combined-. Ketter, noting that public education is becoming increasingly unaffordable, had said that a tuition hike would chisel away at SUNY’s philosophical foundation a university for all income classes.

He again, however, cited “little risk” and mentioned as one protective agent, glue - which is “wrapped” around the to keep the fibers in place. Hatten countered with a question as to the effectiveness of glue which has loosened enough to allow some fibers to dislodge. Hunt also argued that mesothelioma is a very rare form of cancer and explained that in a study of 360 asbestos asbestos workers, 36 had lung cancer and one of those cases was directly traced to asbestos.

Hatten added that everything is hazardous. UB’s research Flammable sealant Hatten cited Hunt’s “inadequate concern” in a number of cases. Music Department member Mark Sposato questioned the fire hazard posed by the flammable plastic sealant applied over the asbestos last week. When Hatten related the concern to Hunt, the Director’sreplied that a lot of things are flammable and that asbestos will not burn, according to Hatten. Hunt also said that the sealer was not meant to be permenent. A voice and piano major, David Bilowus, said, “1 spend at least 18 hours in the practice rooms a week.” He complained that the administration first said the Music Department would be relocated on Amherst in the Fall of ■* 1980. “Now,” he said, “they are postponing it until July of 1981. I would definitely like to see that ceiling replaced.” Hatten said that Friday’s meeting with Hunt drew agreement from both parties that the asbestos ceiling should be removed.

Commisioner Mead sasaid tha she had no way of knowing if the utilities would pursue ESPRI and try to make it a reality but she did indicate that several State legislators had introduced bills banning the proposal if the PSC had approved the plan. �•V at s CO -dt*s How straight are the A’s?

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

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

Carter’s economic strategy has turned 180 degrees.” After the signing into law of a modified Humphrey-Hawkins full employment bill, the administration, he believes, has become bent on cutting every budget except the Pentagon’s. “What would King tell Carter if he were alive today?” Conyers asked. “What is the black response to the economic policies of the President - . — they elected?” ' “This is not a hypothetical question,” pleaded Conyers. “The forces of reaction and Proposition Thirteenistp have always been with us and always will.” Law School asks UB officials for late grade cure inability to solve the problem internally, the SBA sent letters to By Bonnie Gould Specturm Staff Writer For the first time in UB Law School history, the Student Bar Association (SBA) is looking to sources outside the School in an attempt to solve the problem of late grades which has plagued law students for over a decade. Faced with the frustrating Vice President for Academic Affairs Ronald Bunn and University Dean for the Division of Graduate and Professional Education Gilbert Moore asking for help. The SBA hopes' that members of the University Administration who' have jurisdiction over law school policies will take steps towards a solution to the annual problem. The first attempt to remedy the problem was broached in 1967, when the law school faculty passed a resolution setting a deadline of four weeks after the last day of exams for faculty members to submit their grades.

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

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

The speculation is that chemicals from the Love Canal have been (caching along the course , of the swails and contaminated the along them. people living However, Axelrod in his final recommendation to Carey maintained that these chemicals presented a health hazard only to young children and pregnant women. But a sign at Thursday’s meeting firmly declared the Love Canal’s residents’ insistence that Association had not properly retraced the courses of the old stream beds in the first place. But the State’s special committee’s findings agreed closely with the assertions made by the Homeowner’s Association in October. One very angry woman at Thursday’s meeting said that her daughter was only slightly older than two years and consequently ineligible for relocation, “How can you draw a line on my child?” she asked, “Should 1 have had her four months later? You’re just playing God with her.” One man took a more practical approach to the matter as he angrily left the school auditorium. “I’m going home to get my wife pregnant so we can get out of here,” he vowed on his way out the door. Many of the residents at the meeting pointed out that Carey has not been to the Canal since his re-election to the governor’s office last November. All Thomas Frey, State Director of operations and Carey’s personal assistant would say is “he will be available some time in the future.’’-Joel DiMarco Grandfather clauses debated; course loads still unclear by Kathleen McDonough for three class hours.

If most courses revert to three credits, a student would only average 15 credits per - semester even after taking five courses, with 120 credits after eight semesters. Currently, 128 credits are required for graduation. With this in mind, Peradotto proposed a tentative format for a grandfather clause to the Committee. The clause would only apply to those already registered in the University, excluding the incoming freshman class. Under the terijis of the clause, those with 96 credits by fall ’79 (seniors) would be relieved of 2 credits from the total 128. Next year’s juniors, or those with 64 credits, will only be required 124 credits to graduate. Finally, those with 32 credits (sophomores) will need only 122. To receive the one-shot “discount” however, a student must complete at least 30 hours each year until graduation. order to be exempted, courses must be “beefed-up.” At Wednesday’s meeting, Co-director of the Undergraduate English department Stefan Fleischer described. Stricter requirements in freshmen 101-102 writing courses Maintaining present While the committee hoped this general Clause would enable most students to graduate on time, they are still seeking mechanisms to safeguard accepted majors. Some departments require majors to take a certain number of credits within the department. If the department choses to devalue it's courses, (as most have decided), rather than have them meet four hours per week, students must take more courses within their major than they had originally expected. The committee plans to examine departmental requirements, perhaps with an eye towards maintaining the present course load for majors. In th? coming weeks, the committee will hear reports from various departments presenting justification for possible exemption from the Springer system. In Basic guideline Each student would be required to submit 25 completed pages of writing he said. When it was suggested that 25 pages is not a large total, Fleischer explained that students must go through intense preparation, often translating into 100 pages. Eventually, Fleischer said, 101-102 courses will entail a “writing lab” which would balance the class hours and credits. The department does not have the personal to staff the lab now, he said. Citing difficulties in deciding which departments would be granted permission to award four credits for there contact hours, SA Director of Student Affairs Scott Juisto recommended forming a sub-committee to set up basic guidelines ■ROOffE’s!

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

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

The afternoons slip from gray to blsjck slowly, silently, not even a teasing sunset to mark their passage. The nights are long and coldly menacing. The weeks are nothing but signposts along winter’s backstretch; the months arbitrary divisions we give to this long, long season. Life spins its wheels in the furrowed embankments of Buffalo’s sidestreets; it is all we can do to keep from slipping into a state of frozen the easiest place to leave the mind this stagnancy time of year. It is the mid-winter blues creeping up again, an undertow of discontent tugging at our weatherbeaten souls. Yes, it is the weather. If our work piles.up faster than we can clear it away it is only a slight coincidence that the plows are losing the same wars to the snow. If our homes seem to dull with the days, despite a new poster here and a new plant there, they are only absorbing the monotony the windows spray upon them. If our spirits seem to wilt before the tiniest annoyance, if our minds tire from the mere sameness of the tasks we give them, if our bodies complain pver the simplest acts of physical exertion, it is because the snow, the cold, the arctic air we breathe have eroded away the breakwalls of optimism and freshness the New Year builds around us. The sheer dullness of the environment is broken only by an exhilarating snowfall now and then; the kind where winter’s white rage and the evening’s ebony still;.ess come as one and your spirits leap and tumble as 11 to show you how beautiful Buffalo really can be.

You’ll stare at the streetlamps to find the snowflakes tiny white ribbons in the yellowish glow. So cruel. You’d think there was an Old Man Winter revelling in his trickery. perhaps hours To walk home from my high school, I had to cross a huge barren field over a boot-trodden path that iced and glazed as winter wore on. One nighl, with the wind still and the fresh smell of snapping cojd in the air, I calmly decided to flop myself in the untouched snow face down, arms and legs spreadeagled. 1 lay there strangely warm and comfortable for about 15 minutes, contemplating my affection for winter in Buffalo and ernersing myself in the utterly unique sensation of — - soundlessness. 1 returned the next morning, on my trip to school, under a light, freezing rain and deep gray skies. The place where 1 had lain was puddled and sloshed by the weather’s turn, and a soggy eyelet of brown-green sod showed through where my hooded forehead had rested ten hours before. Station wagons and school buses rolled through the slushy streets now browning beneath their dirty wheels Old Man Winter, sneering in my rain-pelted face; the - one he had cradled the night before. In Buffalo, winter and the mind-set it brings are easily recognizable cousins. The image of Buffalo streets, rutted and from playing narrowed battleground for winter and the automobile, is the postcard of our personal misery; the mental memorabilia for whatever is currently wrong in our lives. There is no separating the two. Yet any kind of love-hate relationship with the environment profoundly affects the self. Quality of life is bounded by quality of the living space.

Rockefeller would be, in my opinion, an insult to the students and taxpayers of this state. Is it not enough that the infamous “Albany Mall” was renamed the “Nelson A. Rockefeller-Empire State Plaza? Must we'name our campus after him as well? Some have argued that Rockefeller “built” the half-finished Amherst Campus. Not true. The taxpayers and tuition paying students financed construction on the Amherst Campus. Rockefeller, with his billions amassed in personal fortune did not endow this University with any sort of grant. His name is immortalized in a personal Taj Mahal, built becayse of an “embarrassing” incident involving a princess from the Netherlands viewing the inner city between the old state capitol and the governor’s mansion. “Rocky” with his edifice complex should be memorialized in another New York State Rockefeller’s i On September 13, 1971 State Police and National Guardsmen stormed Attica, resulting in a hail of bullets taking 44 lives. James Vorenberg, director of the Harvard University Center for the Advancement of Criminal Justice said of Rockefeller’s role at Attica, “It wouldn’t have cost him anything except face, which is what so many of these involve.” Furthermore, situations Representative Herman Badillo summed up the horror of Attica and Rockefeller’s role, “It is better for people to talk, even futilely, than to die. As far as I’m concerned, there’s always time to die.” When considering renaming this University’s Amherst Campus, the thought occurs that perhaps the “Rockefeller Correctional Facility at Attica” would be more appropriate. I strongly urge aH students, faculty, administration and taxpayers to oppose any change of the name for the Amherst Campus. Mark Dunaj greed To the Editor It was very wonderful of you to get all the facts about how Nelson Rockefeller helped set the SUNY system on its feet. You left out several of the more important facts about Mr. Rockefeller. You forgot to mention the Rockefeller familty tradition, which is to let nothing stand in the way of its greed.

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

Lisa Weems The untimely death of Nelson Rockefeller reminds me of the- time I was handing out Socialist Labor Party leaflets in Monticello and a fellow insisted to me that Rocky was a Socialist. What nonsense! ! also recall when he first ran for Governor in 1958, he appeared on TV with three other candidates, one of whom was Eric Hass of the Socialist Labor Party that turned into a hot debate between Hass and Rocky on the issue of Socialism versus Capitalism. Even though Rocky went on to win the election and Hass did not, the Socialist Labor Party nominee wiped the floor with Rocky in the debate. In 1970, NOT satisfied with heading the list of candidates on the ballot, he tried to get an additional line, as if one was not enough.

On February 7 The Spectrum featured an article on counseling centers at UB. Although the information on Sunshine House was both informative and accurate, it emphasized that Sunshine House was used for crisis situations such as rapes and drug overdoses.

Well, you shouldn’t be. Let me fill you in on some more well reasoned decisions made by this most enigmatic man.- Mr. Hunt sets all traffic regulations on the three UB campuses. Thus he is responsible for divining it lasts for 30, count ’em, 30 that a red light should be placed at the intersection of seconds Flint Rd. and North Campus Boulevard, halting all northbound traffic (towards the academic spine) on Flint Rd. The only reason that light exists is to allow eastbound traffic (towards Millersport Highway) to continue to flow quickly and smoothly on the remainder of North Campus Boulevard which hasn’t been built yet. When questioned about this sagacious decision, Mr. Hunt replied, “What’s-thirty seconds out of your life?” Makes sense, huh? Mr. Hunt is also the man who decided that two out of every three parking lots adjacent to the — - offers . . . To 'the Editor: Ellicott Complex should be closed over the winter, making absolutely certain that more than a. handful of students will • be forced to park illegally near Ellicott. His response to this problem was that the University does indeed guarantee dorm students a place to park, but does not guarantee convenience. Hence, he claimed, students could park anywhere on campus, specifically mentioning lots serving the academic spine, the Statler Food Commissary and Crofts Service Building. Way to go. Bob.. On numerous other occasions, Mr. Hunt has remarked that questionable rules wouldn’t be changed because “It’s always beep that way.” So if you’re confused with the Baird Hall question, remember that Mr. Hunt probably feels that music students are not forced by the University to study music, but rather choose to do so (hence, asbestos is their own problem), and that if they really are afraid of being poisoned, they should either breathe before they enter Baird Hall, or practice outside. Life is so easy when you’re Robert Hunt. John H. Reiss The Wednesday, February 7,- 1979 edition presented an article on Counseling Services offered to the campus community.

Since these grades wem logged into A&R on January 8, it seems clear that campus mail required over one week to deliver them from Ridge Lea to Main Street. (In fairness to the Campus Mail Unit, I should add that there is some evidence that 486 of these grades were lost in the A&R office for one week, at which time they were then found.) The Psychology Department has frequently contended that there are major logistical difficulties in being the only Department with a large undergraduate teaching constituency to be isolated on the Ridge Lea Campus. Here is simply one additional illustration. At one time there was a grade “drop-off” point on Ridge Lea. Now grades are submitted via campus mail.

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

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

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

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

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

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

The talented Soaring Eagles pulled out a 5-4 nailbiter, by Highly challanger should have gone into the second period winning 2-0.” fumed the irate coach, “We could’ve gained a lot of confidence.” - - Acrobatic dives Instead, Wilde and captain Ed Patterson’s scores in the first 20 minutes were offset. As soon as the middle period began, Elmira systematically erasing an early two goal deficit and then holding off a furious Buffalo comeback attempt in the waning minutes of the contest. The 11 -9 Bulls played the Eagles on even terms for most of the game, but the locals suffered intermittent lapses throughout the night that Elmira was able to take advantage of. “We could’ve easily won,” argued UB’s Tom Wilde. The offensive trigger man added two more goals to his 1978—79 log, and now sports a grand total of 24. “They moved the puck out well, but they weren’t that great. We played pretty well, but a few mistakes cost us.” The Eagles’ fifth tally, the game winner, was especially emphasized by the Buffalo members as being one of the their larger goofs of the entire evening. “In their last goal, we had two back checkers covering,” explained Bulls’ coach Ed Wright. “But the puck still went to the guy we were supposed to be covering.” Elmira’s crucial score by Jeff Cristina at 11;43 of the third period, came as a result of a two on one break, Cristina and teammate Steve Lemieux fooled a lone Buffalo defenseman (after racing by another) and exhibited some high quality passing before beating UB goaltender Bill Kaminska for a 5—3 bulge. Rapid fire “The guy pointed out UB just snuck in,” defenseman Rich took the upper hand, at 3-2, when Mike Brigante used up only 11 seconds to tally. The Eagles were flying high, continually threatening the Kaminska goal fr nearly every angle. But the acrobatic dives of durable goalkeeper prevented any futher damage, and soon the Bulls’ squad got its act together again. In fact, one “red line” (Brien Grow, Patterson, and Wilde) shift was all that was necessary to bring the teams to even terms. Wilde smoothly backhanded in the, tying goal from the left face off circle at 7;59, after having received a blind pass from Patterson. UB’s Lines TIED UP IN TONAWANDA: Ed Patterson (18) of Buffalo races into the corner to get to the puck ahead of two unidentified Elmira College skaters. Despite a 5—4 loss at MacLean, who later, while the Eagles were on a power play, personally shortened the opposition’s lead to just one. Profiting from a rare mistake on the part of Elmira’s defensive corps, MacLean sent the vociferous home crowd into a frenzy by firing a hard drive by Eagles’ netminder Tony Cosmano with less than four minutes minutes Tonawanda Sports Center. Patterson was able to break a troublesome scoring slump when he tallied mid-way through the first period. eradicating any hopes of overtime the Buffalo partisans may have held. “It took the life out of us,” complained Keith Sawyer, Igo’s line mate. “Timmy just retaliated. The referee shouldn’t have called it, especially in such a close game.” The score need never have been close, as the coach elucidated, “1 thought we skated only one remaining. third, but 1 don’t know why. We fell into our routine starting slow, then building up momentum even though 1 tried something different this time, somewhat harder warmups before game time.” Wright felt quite displeased with Elmira’s effective rapid fire attack on the UB net . in the last two minutes of the opening period, the — — • STICK CHECKS: Buffalo’s icers still holding proverbial eighth and last playoff spot in EC AC standings, but six games - — still remain on schedule.

However the schedule called for Thursday evening’s meet, and the reason for the Royals’ wished became more evident as UR drubbed Buffalo 79-42 despite record breaking performances by Amy . Brisson. “Rochester is a Division II school and we’ve been swimming against them for a long time,” explained Royals’ coach Pam Noakes. Overall, the Royals have dropped Ithaca and a couple of other tough schools in order to face Division III competition on an equal level. Combined with a vastly improved roster, featuring the freshman Brisson, the Royals have been rolling right along. Even with the Thursday night loss, Buffalo is sporting a respectable five and two record. Brisson topped the field in three separate events, smashing records in the process. Setting a Rochester pool record in the 100-butterfly, Brisson touched in just 1:06.5 seconds, fractions off her previous best 1:06. In the 200-freestyle, Brisson entered her name in the Rochester annals by sweeping the four person field in 2:04.1. Finally, in the 100-freestyle, Brisson missed her personal record of 56.4 by only a wink, completing the race in :57 and setting anotNot every Royal had Brisson’s illustrious night, but diver Lori Spada left her mark in Rochester by taking the second round of optional diving.

Mini-computers invade offices... ■continued manufacturers estimate that 22 percent of the total labor force or half the information industry works in an office. IBM predicts this segment will grow to an - — astounding 40 percent of the total by 1985. -The cost of office overhead, labor force primarily salaries, accounts for up to 50 percent of the total costs of all U.S. corporations. Among government and service industries, such as operating firms, insurance banks, communications companies and human services sectors, office salaries account for 70-85 percent of total costs, accorng to a recent independent study. Doubled office costs of Labor Bureau -The Statistics reports that some 16 million office support workers - typists, clerks, accountants, etc. - that the computers of performance has increased in 15 years, while the 10.000of of price “each unit performance” has declined since I960. 100.000These economic trends, combined with the decreasing costs and increasing abilities of computer and communications technologies, have produced what many experts believe yvill. be the greatest upheaval in Western economies since James Watt invented the steam engine more than 200 years ago. Microelectronic resulting from the introduction of the assembly line to blue collar a year. And that is only half the earnings work of the 23 million white collar professionals and managers whom they serve. These costs are rising at an annual rate of six to eight percent. —While office costs have doubled over the past decade, office productivity has regained almost stagnant. Though office productivity is a difficult subject to monitor, most experts agree it has increased by only four percent in ten years. In the same period, spurred industrial productivity automation by has increased about 90 percent. Finally and this is the key revolution” while to office employment and overhead costs have soared, the price of office automation equipment has been declining at an annual clip of ten percent, bringing increasingly sophisticated computers into the reach of even the smallest businesses. It has been estimated Hummingly efficient earn around $300 billion - — - - - automation says James Carlisle, a computer specialist at the University of Southern California, is “likely to bring about an organizational revolution among white-collar workers to that comparable ” executives with will supply up-to-the-minute information for decision making, and even with suggestions on how to use the information for arriving at a ' decision. While some of this equipment, particularly combined word and data processing devices, is already in wide use (some 215,000 small computers are now business along with some installed, 400,000 word processors), the growth of automation equipment sales is expected to be intense over the next five years. Creative Strategies a International. consulting firm based in Santa recently California, completed a five-year market forecast and predicted a 19 per cent annual growth rate for the types most standard of automation equipment, such as copiers, computers, dictation and facsimile equipment and word Clara, " processors. For the in workers “information industry,” which increasingly dominates the economy, this revolution will mean two things. First, the various tasks of the office support worker, such as typing, editing, accounting, filing, mailing, etc., will be gradually taken over by hummingly efficient machines that will, according to industry spokesmen, do the jobs better, faster and cheaper. This means greater productivity with less personnel costs. Secondly, the automated office will aim at increasing the efficiency and technical abilities of executives and professionals by combining numerous data banks into an electronic information network. Desktop video display screens (winch are expected to both speak and respond to vocal commands within 10 to 15 years) MID WINTER-SALE-MID-WINTER-SALE The major future trend, says toward company integration of the equipment such as word and data processors. New methods of local and global communications will also speed an on-going tendency to eliminate paper as the medium of document storage and communication. the One particularly sophisticated office system, which integrates numerous tasks, is now being used in a “testing atmosphere” at the White House. Installed by Xerox, this Advanced Multi-Function Workstation code-named “Alpha” consists of a copier with a keyboard and video-display screen. Besides enabling the user to do electronic editing of — documents before they are committed to paper, the system can also create charts and graphs from keypunched instructions, print letters in a variety of type from page 12 electronically faces store of pages thousands of information, and print paper copies of graphics created on the display screen. The two workstations at the White House operatfe off a computer that can simultaneously handle such 2 54 more workstations, according to the trade journal. authoritative Datamation. However, the key thrust of office automation in the near future will be somewhat less grandiose, aimed at improving productivity of thl office worker and reducing the flow of paper. Again, the immediate motive is cost. Among major corporations, such as those in the Fortune 500, it now costs $6.41 to create, type, revise and mail a one-page letter, according to a recent study by IBM, According to the Creative Strategies study, the average secretary is either away from the desk, waiting for work or absent 46 per cent of the time. About 9 per cent of the time is spent taking dictation. typing or proofreading, and the remainder is consumed by answering phone calls, handling mail and doing clerical work. Virtually all of these tasks can be performed by today’s computers, which are never absent, or hanging about the especially water cooler, or attending union meetings. — - Behavioral patterns Yet the elimination of the secretary will not be simple, and will occur only over a long period, says Creative Strategies’ Larry Wells. “The executives like having secretary available for the a various tasks they do,V he says. A Xerox salesman, who regularly deals with corporation executives, confirms that View: , "When a guy spends 15 or 20 years working his way up the ladder so he can have his own secretary, there’s no way he’s going to give her up for a damn machine. He Wants his own personal ‘grunt’.” “We have to change behavioral patterns rather than technology,” says Wells. “Technology changes come Behavioral very fast. changes come very slow. That’s one reason I don’t think we'll see major changes with today’s generation of executive. For the 45-50 year-old executive, the secretary is a very significant thing Yet the changes will come, eventually. “The longterm career secretary is probably going to virtually disappear,” Wells says. The few secretarial jobs which can’t be automated, he adds, vyill be either taken over by the executive or handled by part-time employees. Looking beyond his published five-year forecast, Wells predicts that “things will begin to change between the fifth and the tenth year dramatically fairly and between the tenth and the twentieth year, you’ll see some very dramatic changes.” One will be automatic speech recognition, to enabling people talk to computers, which is about 10 to 15 years away. Integrated office systems, such as the one being tested in the White House, will be common in seven to eight years, he says. And he says, it will be possible almost to automate the office itself out of existence by the turn of the century. “We’ll be getting away from the idea that an office is a physical location. An office will be the capability of doing creation tasks and access tasks, and they may occur from home, or airplanes, or anywhere.” MID-WINTER-SALE MID—WINTER—SALE—MID—WINTER SALE University Bookstores MID-WINTER-SALE •.

Reiss Special to The Spectrum Citing an “absence of leadership at this University,” former Dean of the Colleges Irving Spitzberg has called upon Robert L. Ketter to step down as President when his term expires in June, 1980. Spitzberg, in his 1977-78 Annual Report on the Colleges, claims that the President has made his contribution to the University, and that he must realize it is time for new leadership that can look to the future. He specifically denounces Ketter’s “negative style,”; charges that the President backed down under pressure from an unreasonable and intransigent state Division of the Budget (DOB); and claims that Ketter has no vision of a future for the University. “He must announce his intention not to seek an additional term so that the University can organize itsel? to seek a leader with a minimum of uncertainty,” Spitzberg writes. “(W)e must look for a leader, not an administrator; for one who is willing to work in a consultative system, and to articulate and justify a personal view of the future.” Spitzberg thus becomes the first University official to publicly support Ketter’s departure since the President’s administrative style and leadership abilities came under fire last spring. Charges that Ketter has lost control of his administration and failed to lend the University a guiding hand, spurred the undergraduate Student Association (SA) and the-Graduate Student Association (GSA) to overwhelmingly vote “no confidence” in. the President. The UB College Council then undertook a “review” of Ketter’s performance, finding that all that he had charges against the President lost control and that he was dishonest were baseless. The Council then gave the President a unanimous vote of confidence. Spitzberg’s report, unusually harsh for a document of its kind, cites chapter and verse the difficulties which he, and others, have had in dealing with the President. It is replete with accounts of controversial decisions made by Ketter, stemming, Spifzberg claims, from his preoccupation with administration rather than leadership. This role is representative of those form ' - into battles with the numerous Administration and eventually played a leading role in his decision to resign as Dean of the Colleges in August, 1978, He is still a professor of Higher Education here, Ketter was unavailable for comment Wednesday. believes “Ketter’s bad Spitzberg decisions,” many of which have adversely affected the Colle — without foundation and are not pertinent to the issue of Ketter’s future here. Rather, he feels the President’s “negative” style is far more crucial, and that it has seriously affected his performance as a leader. This negative style affects both “substantive areas of judgement as well as personal patterns of behavior,” according to the the University’s power base, he says; people view themselves as administrators and not leaders. “This raises profound questions about the competence of those in positions of responsibility and those who put them there to make judgements about the future of this important social institution,” wrote Spitzberg. Lack of vision former Dean. Ketter’s presidency has thrust Spitzberg negative style and his lack of a vision for the future of the University. The Colleges resulted from an ambitious experiment developed in the 1960’s and aimed at creating on-campus living-learning centers to -help combat the problems fostered by a large and expanding University. It was to be an alternative vision to the research dominated universities, based on the Oxford University Colleges. Implicit in this new idea developed in the by Jay Rosen Edilor-iii-Chief Faculty Senate rejects plan to shelve Administrative Evaluation Committee - Spitzberg wrote. - Negative style Spitzberg too, believes that questions of Ketter’s dishonesty were completely ’60s was the creation of a “Berkeley of the East,” a progressive, visionary institution. Yet when Ketter took over as President following the bloody riots of 1970, he instituted “his vision of the creation of a Berkeley a Berkeley of the 1950’s, according to Spitzberg. Ever since, the Colleges have been forced to battle the tide which is perpetually directed towards traditional research rather than innovation. “The President wanted to build the best university the 1950’s ever sawhe wrote. Spitzberg feels that many of the Colleges’ problems have been compounded by the President’s view of Buffalo as a traditional University. He attacks what he feels is Ketter’s lack of sympathy for the Colleges’ educational mission which focus on non-traditional methods and programs. Ketter oversimplifies the Colleges’ role and employs an “unreasoning use of line authority which cuts against consultation,” The Faculty Senate Executive Committee, attempting to rid itself of a prodecural ghost left by former Chairman Jonathan Reichert, was a plan that would have stopped cold Tuesday as the full officially kept the standing committee on Administrative Evaluation unformed. It remains unclear, however, what the Senate’s actions will mean for the long- mothballed committee. That committee proposed, debated and approved in October of 1977 was conceived as both an on-going review of the decision-making process and a faculty check on the Administration. But Reichert never constituted it during his term and the task fell to this year’s Executive committee. The Senate directed the Executive Committee on December 5 to look into the issue an‘d report back at the next meeting which was Tuesday. The Executive Committee, led by Senate Chairman Newton Carver, attempted to avoid forming the standing committee by claiming that its functions were already being filled by three existing committees. To form another committee at this time would be ill-advised, the argument went. — — — Strong reasons The Senate didn’t buy it. Spurred by convincing testimony by Department of Psychology Chairman Ira Cohen, several senators spoke to the general need for a faculty check on the administration. Cohen, who authored the 1977 report that led to the standing committee idea, was asked to speak Tuesday by Carver. After some of the report could be considered outdated since its research dates back to 1976, Cohan stressed that there are still several strong reasons to form the Administrative Evaluation Committee. Cohen emphasized that his study (the Ad Hoc Committee report on Administrative Evaluation) was not extensive enough to adequately address several serious questions about the University Administration. conceding that A catalyst for change He traces many of the problems with Ketter to the extended counter-revolution of the early ’70s. Following the progressive thought of'the ’60s and the truculence of 1970, the University came full circle and reverted to a more traditional and tried role. This counter-revolution has lasted far too long and served as a roa'dblock to advancement and creative thought, he feels. "Many of the present problems of our University flow from the fact that so much energy is invested in fighting old battles that the University as a political community has not been able to turn its attention to the creation of a new and more appropriate vision for itself and the future,” Spitzberg writes. He holds that the administration has never really accepted the Colleges, either in their present, under-developed state, or in their goal as a catalyst and design for change. Significantly, Spitzberg harbors the belief that Ketter views the Colleges as both a threat and as inferior units. between the cooperation Since administration and the Colleges is crucial to their survival and success, the perpetual antagonism between the experimental units and the President can only have a pejorative effect. Spitzberg claims that although the Colleges can grow even in the face of —continued on page 2— For example, he said, “Is Ihe Administration’s orientation basically academic or basically managerial? We were not able to grapple with that question.” Cohen referred to a “growing body of literature” on the need for faculty evaluation of administrators and the methods other campuses have'em ployed. Same functions In a prepared recommendation, the Executive Committee claimed that the Senate’s Academic Planning Committee and Presidential Evaluation Procedures Committee, along with the University’s Task Force on Operations, are now filling the functions the new committee would be given. The Operations Task Force, chaired by Management Professor Frank Jen, has a charge “almost identical to that of the Cohen their the Executive Committee Committee,” in noted recommendation But Professor of English Max Wickert observed that the Task Force was created by President Ketter and reports to his office, making it useless as a check on the Administration. The voice on the Executive Committee’s recommendation that “no additional committee be set up at this time” failed by approximately a 2-1 margin. Talk their way out But the negative wording of the recommendation leaves the Administrative Evaluation Committee right where it has been for over two years nowhere. The senate has voted against “not forming” the committee but has yet to take any affirmative action on the issue. The Administrative Evaluation Committee thus exists on paper only delicately handled paper at that. In the current climate of Capen Hall, most observers feel that formation of the committee would be read as a direct challenge to the Administration. Carver himself told The Spectrum last month that the Executive Committee would be forced to form the standing committee “unless they can talk their way out, of it.” - — / Art aesthetics— P. 9 J, Abortion debate—P. 17 Campus Police renamed—P. 5 ,,v>-v;.v«vy»v*v*v»w«»v»wv»vkv*v»v»v»wv»v*\v»v«v»v»v»v»v«v»‘ Inside: $8000 theft probe— P. 2 /Avtt»,r,itiimiiiitiii.ix v-v ’ ’ � •■*■**( �M I person who had observed the pattern in the money runs by Kathleen McDonough Campus I JilOi University Police are questioning employees of both the I B bookstores and Alert Security Patrol Inc. following Monday’s grand larceny of over $5000 in cash and $3000 in checks. The loot was taken from a locked car parked outside the HIKcott Complex while a lone Alert Security guard was inside. Contrary to usual procedure, where guards travel in pairs, ap unnamed guard traveled alone Monday. After collecting the receipts from the Baldy bookstore, he left them sitting in the locked car while he went to pick up receipts at the Ellicott bookstore Reportedly, the guard did not discover the theft until he arrived at the Main Street Bookstore employees questioned in $8000 pilfering noticed the back door was unlocked. The bookstores pay Alert approximately SI9 per hour tor the services of two guards, according to Bookstore General Manager Ralph Trede. He did not know why the guard was alone that afternoon, but said he assumed it was due to a scheduling mix-up.

Trede said he is uncertain as to which company is responsible for the loss. When Follett assumed control of the bookstores from the Faculty Student Assiciation (FSA) last fall, he noted, they retained FSA’s contract with Alert Security. In the original contract, FSA accepted financial responsibility for any loss or theft during the money runs. Follett became payee for the contract, said Trede, but the terms Campus and refused comment until the conclusion of its own investigation. Trede explained that Alert makes the rounds, or “money runs at least once a day. In addition to changing the vehicles and collection times, he said a certain group of guards rotates daily. Familiar with operations University Police Investigator James Britt said there is only a “remote chance” that someone happened to stumble on the car and steal the canvas money bag. He added that the thief is probably someone familiar with the bookstore operations. Trede concurred, “The average citizen doesn’t look into every car he passes. The thief could be anyone who’s aware of what goes on.” This would include Alert Security or Bookstore employees or any Spitzberg denounces Ketter administrative opposition, they will not have a significant impact on the has been debilitating, he says. “His continuing negativism has had a has been debiliatating, he says. “His continuing negativism has had a corrosive impact on the Collegiate system,” the report states. The Cornell caper Spitzberg cites two decisions made by Ketter which he feels arc manifestations of negative style and proclivity the than towards administration rather leadership. The first involves the management of the Katherine Cornell Theater, located in the HlliCott Complex near College B, the College of Creative Arts arid Crafts. During the 1975-76 academic year. College B launched a series of programs and artistic events at the theater which was open for experimental use. The next year, a series of concerts was developed there, creating a rare cultural success in Western New York Prompted by the theater's popularity, Spitzberg claims, the administration, at a established suggestion. University-wide bureaucracy to administer the theater, and charged rent to all groups, including College B, for its use. More importantly, College B was given no special consideration for the theater’s use, while both the Music and Theater Departments arg allocated budget support for their artistic activities. The result was to virtually cripple College B’s concert program. Ketter’s Despite the move's disasterous effects on College B. Spitzberg says, Ketter and Executive Vice President Albert Somit steadfastly refused to alter their position in Blanket bonding We pay only for the runs now,” Trede said. “The costs of insurance wou employee is blanketly bonded, or insured. “We’ll be protected." he said of Monday’s theft, adding that should the bonding company decide that another party (Alert) was responsible for the loss, they would attempt to claim the money from that party, possibly through court FSA still deals with Alert for its other businesses, mainly for Food Service. FSA board member and former secretary Leonard Synder expressed concern about the recent theft. “We want to ascertain the vents he said. If Alert were found to have been negligent, Synder The grand larceny is a class D felony, according to investigator Britt. The maximum prison sentence for someone who had not been previously convicted of larceny would be seven years. mtinued f any way or to allow College B special charges Ketter administration.” — Highhanded and unthinking Spit/.berg’s second example is with departments against residential students. As a result, Spitzberg claims, the Colleges now feel pressured to justify the use of space based designed for them on irrelevant Albany formulas. He feels that Ketter has made two poor decisions decisions which will have a profound and while at painful effect on the Colleges the same time refusing to be tough with the “negative view of the Colleges by the University he unthinking,” allowing DOB“to twist his arm and demand that the President pit academic access to the theater. Spitzberg called Keller’s decision an “essentially irrational judgement" and said it was prompted by the - - University’s decision to move academicdepartments into residential areas of the l lhcott Complex. This move reduced the scarce number of rooms available to students and had an exacerbating effect on an already serious housing shortage. Spitzberg says DOB pressured Ketter to reduce the University’s operating budget by disposing of academic space at Ridge the DOB. He claims these are crystalline examples of how negative style and view affects decision-making. The Spitzberg told Spectrum Wednesday that nothing has changed since he wrote the report. He said there are “no errors” in the document and still supports both the spirit of the report and its forcing it to move departments elsewhere. Although Spitzberg feels the “highhanded and DOB’s action was Lea, implications.

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

Proposals to remove the ban have been bouncing around City Hall for several months but none of them had been able to score any support until Tuesday’s unanimous decision by the Buffalo Common Council. Pinball has been banned in Buffalo since the early 1950's when several high ranking police officials were indicted for being part of a gambling ring using the popular machines for illicit purposes. The City Police Department has since attempted to block any efforts to have the ban tolled back. This time‘however v the proposal to allow the citizens to settle the score on the question, flashed through the Council with no obstacles whatsoever. Even University District Councilman Eugene Fahey, a past defender of the ban, rang out in favor of Tuesday’s measure. Fahey complained that the Council has played with the matter long enough. Filmore District CouncilwomaiT Shirley Stoiarski also lit up in favor of the referendum idea. Stoiarski had previously introduced a resolution to have the pinball ban repealed but withdrew it in late December while the bill was still being tilled back and forth in the Council. “I’m happy to see this," chimed Stoiarski. The referendum will now be flipped over to the city’s Law Department which will coin the exact wording of the question to go on the November ballot. General Education had a much better chance of passage had it been introduced earlier, hut the end of the committee’s nine-month study is rapidly approaching. “I'm really upset with the program as it stands,” Hade said. The General Education Committee, as a standing committee, will however, continue to supervise implementation. While Phase I is slated for fall 1979 implementation, Phase II will not take effect until fall 1980. According to Peradotto, no student currently enrolled will be affected by the new distribution requirement. Also rejected Tuesday night was a Baker to delay implementation of the entire plan until fall 1980. That motion, rejected 7-5-2, was the second of its kind, according to Foster, A delay, according to Foster, could eliminate the multi-stage aspect of the plan but would burden entering freshmen with the current, unwanted distribution system. will The multi-phase idea which Foster called "sensible enable the University to initiate at least some aspect of the General Education plan by next fall. If the entire plan were postponed one year, Foster said, “We could presumably come up with a more concrete — program,” Foster indicated there may be concern within the Executive Committee about the University’s capacity to accommodate some aspects of the plan. The University’s proposed Academic Plan, now being revised by Vice President for Academic Affairs Ronald F Bunn, would provide increased funding where enrollment rises, but that might take years, Foster explained. “You don’t just put an ad in the paper and hire five fatuity members,” Foster-quipped. Money for fall L979 is essentially fixed, he said. Foster said the threat of a change in the University presidency would probably not affect the implementation of a General Education plan.

University Police: new name, but same game The name may change, but the faces remain the same. University Police is now officially the Department of Public Safety. The alteration, instituted in Albany, is an attempt to give the department “a wider connotation of public service,” said State Director of University Public Safety Platt Harris. Harris told The Spectrum that the term “police” generally refers to law enforcement. He said that with the alteration in title, the new Department of Public Safety will also be concerned with safety and traffic. Harris explained that the SUMY Chancellor’s office created a task force in 1974 designed to study the public safety model for police, which had already been instituted in some mid-western states. One recommendation arising from the task force was the adoption of a Public'Safety model for all SUNY schools, he said. Harris noted that the new approach “is a of doing the same last year. It is all too clear that the export of nuclear For instance, if SUNY Buffalo already incorporates safety and traffic in its program, then the change could be “considered a cosmetic one,’’-said Harris. Willing This is the second time in the last three years that the UB security organizatictn has amended its name. In fall of 1976, their official title of Campus'Security changed to University Police. Ombef reaction to the change here seemed to be low-key. One Department of Public Safety officer explained that he “believes most people prefer University Police, but they are willing to make the adjustment.” As far as structural adjustments go, the new Department of Public Safety will correct the seals on its vehicles to display the new logo. However, one officer was not sure if the modification process would be thousands of atom bombs, instituted immediately. Although the name is different, both the officers and the telephone number are still the same. So in case of emergency, dial 2222, and don’t hang up if the voice on the other end of the phone says, “Hello, Department of Public Safety.’ The resolution establishing the committee was sponsored by Ellicott District Councilman James W. Pitts in the wake of a dispute Police involving Commissioner James B. Cunningham, Buffalo Corporation Counsel Joseph P. MacNamara and Francis Attorney J. Offermann Jr, Offermann chaired a special Erie County Bar Association Committee to consider the feasibility of a civilian police review board.The establishment of such a body has received widespread attention since Richard Long was kicked to death a year and a half ago by a group of men which included several off-duty Buffalo police officers. These issues have been revived following new incidents of alleged police brutality and the release of two reports by committees of the Erie County Bar Association. • Cunningham put the onus on Corporation Counsel MacNamara for denying the committee access to the records. But a member of the Bar Association’s committee, Richard J Rosche told The Spectrum that it was indeed Cunningham who first refused access.

Here, on the other hand, is an idea. True to its bureaucratic birth, the idea came as a committee: a group of faculty members who study the decision-making process and evaluate the talents and motives of the people in power; an on-going review of the men who are usually the reviewers; a formal, up-front check on the leadership of the perhaps should not be upset at this particular time. Now, we have our own, certainly not the challenging climate is Administration, but if the political not right, then let's hear it. Let's hear some intelligent discussion on when to form the committee and why now i$ not the proper time. Let's see the same sort of honesty and candor the faculty would Tike to see from the Administration.

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

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

This is addressed to Larry Steele, Director of Sports Information, who asks, “Why don’t the games draw crowds?” Speaking strictly for myself, it simply isn’t worth my time. I can get no satisfaction from either a UB victory, UB defeat or UB draw, because 1 cannot see how it does me or the University any good or ill either way. Surely, my education does not benefit, unless I’m a Phys. Ed. major. In fact, by sapping funds, it may do sojne harm. My social life doesn’t benefit by attendance it only saps my free time. Spectating doesn’t do a bit for my health or fitness, and what it does for the athletes could be done more efficiently by straight exercise. Don’t bother me with your program.

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

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

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

Many are unaware of the different faces of the new "underground the Seventies R&B (Graham Parker), psychedelia, pohpop (Tom Robinson), powerpop (Pezband) while most know of the punks (The Sex Pistols),’ Equally important are those bands of 70’s populism; either those that understand the hand m hand development of rock and reggae (Steel Pulse), or those that combine the past legacy of rock and roll with the future technocracy of urban living, Devo, Talking Heads, Eno. But in all cases, the music is once more speaking about, for and directly to, the culture of youth; differing immensely from the fantasies of singer/ songwriters and so-called "progressives” that inhabited the early Seventies. To finally return to the analogy of the British Invasion: we once more find ourselves immersed in a movement of do-it-yourself bands.

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

After all, most of today’s disco borrows a lot of its "orginality” from jazz. Did you ever listen to the album versions of Donna Summer's hits? But, even though it’s hard to realize, disco and jazz (DAZZ) don’t always mix. Many times, performers excel in one, but bomb when attempting the other. George Benson seems to be representative of the exception. He’s updated his music by incorporating his long undiscovered voice. His newer music has a soul tinge, and he still plays his guitar. Even with Benson, though, I still contend that his magical guitar fingers have been greatly repressed. True, he’s accepted in both genres, but does he truly excel in each?

The cabbie, who is no better than his passengers, views the passing street scenes with all the indignation of a Baptist minister.

The film ends by showing us Travis, Itemized by the papers and acquitted by the courts, back on the streets, prowling again in his yellow cab. The irony spirals out from Travis and embraces society as a whole/ But by excising the vulgarities of Travis’ character and by tidying up the violence of his murders, Travis becomes the hero he thinks he is. This extirpation of Taxi Driver'% central irony leads to an irony of its own; the petty moralism focusing microscopically on the minor cosmetics of character (sex and propriety) results in a significant immorality. By disinfecting the ugliness of Travis’ world, television has effectively reversed the original verdict and given a nod of approval to his homicides. While whitewashing its walls, the censors have let the house burn down. The final insult came when ABC forced "the filmmakers’* to disclaim in a closing insert the immorality ABC caused in the first place. This amounts to being punished for being the victim of the punisher. We viewers should not stanpl for this. Whenever a film likely to be butchered comes to the tube, don’t watch it.

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

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

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

According to the Bureau ofLabor Statistics, the cost of living in Buffalo has risen approximately 44.1 percent since November 1473, meaning $25 has.the buying power now that $14 had then. Miller said the check cashing service now under the control of FolleU College Stores Inc. already runs the risk of accepting bad checks since students do not have bank accounts with them. Two years ago bad checks cost FSA $7500 according to Check Cashing Manager Ralph Trede, but he noted that the number shrank to $4000 last year. Trede said the decrease was due in part to the implementation of a . “bad check” list, i m J “It a Student writes several had checks we put him on the bad check list and the student can’t cash checks for the remainder of the school year,” Trede explained. The student remains on that list even if he pays off the checks, Trede said. “At one point we were considering setting up a surveillance system to cut down on forged and bounced checks, but we felt that would be obnoxious,” he added Trede said the service’s $.15 per check fee is used to defray costs such as personnel salaries, equipment and bad checks. The check cashing service will not accept third party checks those written by a third party to the customer because of the risk “We don’t know where the check is coming from,” Trede said. Miller advised students to open up an account at a local bank forbroader check cashing services.

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

Complications bill, The Goldstein Amendment 561, would amend the election law to increase the accessibility of absentee ballot applications. Currently, students must apply for an absentee ballot application through their local Board of Elections, return the . application obtain an actual to by G. Gasper ballot, and then vote via mail. A position paper prepared by the Student Association of the State University (SASU) states, “The absentee ballot system is a cumbersome, and complex unnecessarily confusing process.” Since present law requires that voters personally and individually request an application for an absentee ballot, the Goldstein bill for wide would provide distribution of absentee ballot applications meaning a student could pick one up at any Board of Elections. The bill would also allow a voter to submit a written request for an absentee ballot, rather than go through the existing two-step procedure. - Psych workshop on resumes The Undergraduate Psychology Association is sponsoring a resume writing and job interview workshop February 15 from 3-5 p.m. in 316 Wende Hall.

With the score 22-12, UB continued its winning ways as Jim Brenner took the 200-individual medley with a x time of 2:44.18. The highlight of the evening was the one-meter requited diving. In this event, UB’s Mike Doran made a series of excellent dives that not only set a new school record of 183.70 points hut also qualified him for the national competition for the third time this year-Teammate Eric Billings took third place with a score of 100,65 points, and Mark Merrill of Predonia came in second with a score of 143.70 points.

In the middleweights, UB took advantage of the visitor’s- line-up weaknesses.

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

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

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

South District Councilman James P Keane said, “I think this thing has gone too far. I’m very satisfied with PCIU ” Keane expressed the fear that increased scrutiny of police conduct and the threat of punishment would inhibit police operations. “That policeman is not going to make an arrest," he said. Other members of the Council predicted that passage of the resolution would lead to a “witch-hunt.” Who knows Councilman Fahey brought the discussion back to the original point saying, “There’s some question.about the way the PCIU does business and this is a of this legitimate concern council.” The amendment and the resolution were passed by identical 114 votes with only Keane, Councilman Lovejoy Bakos, Norman North Councilman Daniel T.

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